day5: 3rd september 2006
0815 hours: okay okay, late already. shouldn’t have slept late yesterday night. i was running late to meet derlin for practice at 9am. great! guessed i would just have to make do with whatever time that was left. oh dear, sister! knowing herself that she was always the slowest one in the family, she still slept thru the time… aiyo, wake up-lah!
0855 hours: "hurry hurry, get in the car!" drove to church at the speed of a wild horse! thank god, made it there safely though i was late 15 minutes… sorry derlin, she just flashed me a smile.
0915 hours: the kids’ sunday school proceeded with me as the unprepared pianist… oh wow! luckily, marina took over the kids’ christmas choir practice… yay, didn’t have to play… for awhile.
1000 hours: worship practice started. hmmm, smooth - no sweat!
1045 hours: people started arriving and filling the seats. everyone looked somehow different. was wondering to myself what these 2 months had changed these people. some changed their hairstyles, kids grew taller, people put on weight and some put off. but what stayed the same was their warmth. church members started updating me on what i had been missing.
1100 hours: church service proceeded…
1245 hours: lunch time! yummy…
1345 hours: went home… tired… like usual. bathed, changed and snuggled in bed.
1700 hours: preparing for a christian concert tonight. at dinner down town. fishball koay teow th’ng… but mine was bee tai bak th’ng (rat’s tail - i mean that’s the english translation right? dunno, everyone said so). cos i’m not into koay teow unless it’s char koay teow (only penang char koay teow)… then it’s a total different story.
2200 hours: yay… came back. bathed and sat in front of PC surfing the net till wee hours of the morning. zzzzz…. good night!
