I met up with Charlotte and Clare today.
I felt like I was a faithful wife buying two of each item I purchased at Redhill hawker. haha. cuz I was also buying for Char. I got mee pok and grass jelly for lunch. haha. Hawker price are relatively cheaper, and I'm satisfied with their cooking too.
I wonder why it amuses people whenever rapped this entire issue up under the term "lie down". Alright, perhaps it's just my extreme usage of terms. haha. Since there would be a major restructuring of cells, Char said there's Higher probability that I wouldn't be in the same cell or under the same cell leader. She would take a look at the list pastor provides at the meeting tomorrow evening. If the worst scenario happens, where I'm still under A, she'd act as my referee and propose a change at the meeting. I also realised there are also tactics at meetings, when you want something to be done in a certain way, etc. There are certain "phrases" used over and over again. It sounds really commercialized.
Categories seems inevitable. There are certain people who must always be in the same cell, as they "not adaptable to changes". There are certain people who must have a "change of environment" and not stick to the same cell all over again. So have you caught those phrases I was referring to?
Ultimately, Char and I concluded that we're still ONE big CELL. It's just that we're evenly distributed into smaller teams to facilitate administration and discussions. She could still be my mentor, and covenantal relationship prevails. Somehow, I do appreciate more for the external (outside cell) covenantal relationships. Somehow it always seems that there's some kinda barrier which we carry whenever it comes to internal. Guess what, Char went thru it too. And God revived her situation and she went over to become a cell leader. I believe that He knows best, and wouldn't want me to remain and stay solemn.
This evening, I met up with Clare for dinner at Soup Spoon, Tanjong Pagar. Wow, it's a great place to dine. It isn't crowded and the environment was great and conducive for speaking. haha. Clare was amused when I smsed her to tell her I was hidden behind the mirrors. haha. Coz I'm afraid she might not be able to find me, as it's much secluded, which I feel it's better for talking. She finds it's amusing, when I mentioned hidden, haha.....like some secret date. haha. so funny. The soups are really great. They're thick and they include rich ingredients in them. What's more, they come together with bread. Although the price was a little expensive, I feel given the location, the ambience and the quality of their soups, it's pretty worthwhile. I felt alittle awkward that Clare treated me again. However, she allowed me to treat her to ice cream at Mr.Bean. haha. I'm so glad that there'll be Mr.Bean at Jurong Point! I would then be able to serve my cravings for ice cream, and pancakes. Yay!
I really treasure spending time with different ones outside cell and apart from the context of ministry. I call it the "external programme". haha. Again..my wrong and extreme usage of terms. It's where we bring ourselves to the position where both parties are just friends. And there's no stress and speaking, and we help one another.
Clare and I talked about stuff related from cell to dreams and fashion. haha. I also mentioned about the working attire I'm fascinated about. haha. I got to know good guy cuttings clothes come from Raoul, Brooks Brothers, etc. haha. And how expensive they can be....sigh.
I am motivated by her in many ways, and I do mention it to her too. I'm motivated to wake up earlier than my normal "lazy" mornings. I'm also motivated to grow closer to God, and change my lifestyle....lets say speaking in tongues on my way back home, reading more of His Word, watching godly videos from youtube, etc. haha.
I've learnt alot from her as well. From her intellectual understanding to many stuff. From interviews to social skills to leadership to the corporate world. haha. I realised I've changed my way of speaking too, to be more professional haha. I do things differently too. I'm more focused.
