Eventful
My stay thus far in the land of the Johore Sultanate have been eventful to say the least. My avid readers, as if I have a huge following, have been following quite closely to my adventures here and the boredom of the padded cell. I'm beginning to "un" dislike this place. Note that I didn't say I'm beginning to like this place. The feeling of disliking a place or thing or person has to reach neutral grounds before moving to liking. The situation, similar to that of negatives to nil and towards positives.
Well, at least my weekend was spend doing things that are more meaningful. Joan was back to her home to celebrate Mother's Day. What an encouragement to hear about how she celebrated it. Everyone of us should appreciate our moms. We went to Sagittarius for a drink while chatting over numerous topics ranging from life to God. (What else can two CG members talk about?) Alot more actually but there are plenty of chances to do so. Aha, the funny thing about the weekend was that I know slightly more roads than her (been staying here for 22 years). Hahaha...
Sunday morning. My Vietnamese colleague FFK me. He was suppose to follow Joan and I to church (Calvary Charismatic Church) where David Lim (Peter's bro) attends and serves. It seems, the Lims have something in common. They are resident guitarist wherever they go. Good for them. I've finally decided to settle in this church. I'll attend CG on Wednesday nights and badminton on Saturdays. So no worries to those who have been praying for me on this. I'm grateful. I'm excited. I want to be in a CG but I know the experiences and memories of Komanwel CG will never be replaced or beaten. I'm not asking for a free meal but if you guys insist, I won't resist.ahah...
Car went swimming in the notorious Johor floods. No, not exactly flooded but was a slight flash flood. Water levels were about slightly higher than one quarter the tire height (185/55 R15). It didn't stall there and then but only after a few hours parked at my apartment. I had to call for a tow truck to tow it to the Toyota Service Centre in Larkin. Thank God, my insurance bore every cost involved. Plus Toyota was kind enough to give me another round of service for free only 1 day after the second (5000km) service. The only problem was wet spark plugs...my Vios is running again.
So, an eventful weekend...Praise God...

Haven't dropped by here in awhile but it's good to hear all is well for you.
Since you're (partially) bored where you are, read http://waiterrant.net/?p=450#comments

Okay, I have to go back to tackling an assignment. :'(
Take care!
