I'm glad that this Easter I didn't had to fret bout not attending multiple services, not inviting enough people to church, or feel responsible for empty seats and a lack of new friends saved! I am finally free from this annual commitment after 7 years!
Thankfully, in this new year, in this new decade, everything starts afresh.
This Easter morning was spent bringing some elderly who stay in one-room flats at Kim Tian Place to the Singapore Flyer! Peeps from LifeUnited, Clement, Carlos, Xue Er and whoever I left out actually went to knock on their doors one by last week to invite them! Respect!
I believe they'll all taking a ride on the iconic structure for the 1st time!

It'll be so cool if we get to see this every time we go through security checks at the airport!

After a short walk through the exhibition, it's time to take the a-dollar-per-minute ride!

| One of the proudest achievements of the incumbent... Also, one of the markers in which they have deemed themselves to be successful leaders of Singapore. Do Singaporeans at large feel the same way? Personally, I am a little disillusioned with the Singaporean way of life, with the ideology that "if you study hard, you will eventually get a good job and if you work hard, one day you will be successful" that we are all too familiar with since we were kids in school. Yet on the other hand, I know that Singapore wouldn't be the stable and safe First World nation that we are today without the immense vision of our leaders. So I'm really confused as to who to vote for in the meantime! The easiest way out is to draw a turtle on my polling card come Election Day, haha! *Disclaimer: This is just a joke!* After enjoying the scenery in the quick 30 mins ride, we brought the elderly to the Singapore Food Trail food court where we served them the catered nasi lemak.  The drink stall sells drinks that comes in old school glass bottles with metal caps and how very coincidentally I needed the latter for a design of a wall panel at LifeUnited's new church venue! And of course, Lady Wen being Lady Wen, I unabashedly asked the staff at the drink stall to give me all the metal caps that they had twice in 2 rounds of collecting! =D Hiak hiak hiak.  My most artistic photo of the day and I would like to call it, "Old School vs. New Cool". Haha. =p The excursion today made me realize that blessing the community or the elderly in this instance can be as simple as buying them a meal and bringing them to visit a place. It's not a lot of hassle and one doesn't have to spend a bomb! What I liked about this community project is that it is purely voluntary and whoever is interested can just sign up for it. There was no obligations and no fuss about it. And it is so unlike what I was used to doing during the Easter season. And I'm loving it. We didn't just had one big service, boom and went on to the next but Pst Darren had intentionally slowed things down and we talked about Jesus and the cross for 4 weeks in lieu of Easter. We had the Holy Communion every week and even actual unleavened bread and red wine in the last! We were also welcomed to bring the elements home and could partake of it it in the privacy of our own home whenever we prefer. No more autopilot mode! I had a deeper understanding of the Cross and the significance of the Holy Communion which I feel is so much more meaningful than the hullabaloo that I've been exposed to every time this year. How very liberating. Happy Easter everyone! :) |
