A New Beginning??
And so it goes....that was the sermon theme at last evening's service. The sermon was good, but what caught me was the intended theme for the sermons in February collectively titled "The Lord of the Rings". Pretty intriguing to see what the series of sermons contain, and frankly rather apt, if I may add. The title is about the sanctity of marriage and all, and I daresay I am hoping it'll shed some light into singlehood.
What with Valentine's Day around the corner, and Chinese New Year looming, it all exacerbates the dread of being bombarded left, right and centre by people with the question of "When are you going attached?" or "When are you bringing your girlfriend around?". Bummer, I say.
Throughout much of my pursuit of the academic gauntlet, I had remained steadfastly fixated on getting that coveted piece of paper, and the area of BGR had been cast aside for fear of unneeded distractions. Be it right or wrong to deny myself my feelings, now that I've grown older, such issues do revisit and make me wonder. Hence, I suppose it'll be a good series of sermons to attend and see what fresh perspectives I can derive from there, and hopefully throw a light into the tunnel I am in - a conundrum as there is someone I fancy (let's call her A) but due to differing spiritual practices adopted by our respective churches, it's a rather tricky manoeuvre. I have chosen to commit it to the Higher Power above, to let go and let Him.
On another note, I had a good time chilling out with B, M and L today.Watched Elektra and it was a letdown, storyline wise. Action sequences were good (and that's a misnomer considering it was helmed by the same guys who did X-Men) but that's about it. As for the lengthy biopic Aviator, it was kind of draggy for my liking, and I totally cannot fathom out my dissatisfaction with the ending. So all in, a disappointing day in terms of movies, but hey, the great company more than made up for it. One of life's simple pleasures - to have a blast in the company of great friends. I totally second that, but sometimes I wonder........How will the status quo change when we get attached one after another (assuming I do as well) and drop off like flies???
Hmmmm..........
