A fellowship of messianic proportion

Getting used to this blogging culture. Heh...guess 2010 is about new things. Had a good fellowship with Zhanwei, Vincent and Willie yesterday night. Met up at ION Orchard Hong Kong cafe for dinner and went to Kee Liang's dad's workplace at Orchard Towers thereafter. The pub that we went to was interesting as it was a part of Singapore that we have never been to before. After that we headed to Hard Rock cafe and left soon after because the music was too loud. Man...the music was really good. But majority won over...


Eventually we went to the Starbucks beside Black Angus to chill for an hour and Vincent suddenly suggested that we go to Bedok 85 for supper. So there we were, with the best cgl of the whole church in the driver's seat and the best cgl of the whole CK/DEV zone in front going to Bedok at midnight. Quite a privilege to be in the company of spiritual giants don't you think?


Spiritual giants are not just giants inside that can contain a lot of souls but also food. Hehe....


 

Look at the spread sitting before us! Someone was devouring bah chor mee, satay, chicken wings and porridge... Sinful!!!


That was why we needed spiritual topics to balance out the sinfulness we felt in our hearts. Then went on an hour or so of theological debates about the existence of God...about end-times.. while we feasted on the spread before us. It reached a point when we couldn't perceive the phenomenon of creation. We decided to end our heated discussion at around 1.30am..feeling that we have repented enough after engaging in such sinful acts to our body at this time of the night.


Then we experienced first hand...the "I will drive you back home" phenomenon from the best cgl in the whole church! I tell you, it was a spiritually moving, heart touching act of gesture that only a privilege few in the whole world can experience. First we went to Tampines to drop off Zhanwei, then next was Keeliang...Willie.. At every destination...the tears of gratitude summed up the whole emotive experience that it was truly a phenomenon to behold. It was likened to the disciples seeing the resurrected messiah and experiencing the love of the Savior. The universe stood still and froze in bated breath at this act of love. When it remained me and this spiritual giant, there went on a fellowship that added the finishing touch to this gesture of friendship. When it was time to depart...the immense sorrow was obvious as it brought an end to this enjoyable and revelational night. I stood in Sembawang Drive watching the black Toyota disappearing into the night. A trace of sadness lingered in the night air as I made my way back home.


So there you go...we need to have more of such fellowship this year. Believe that friends are very important and we need each other to grow together and rely on when we go through tough times.


The next planned trip will be to Hard Rock Cafe on Monday to watch Kumar Live! Any takers? :)
