Mooncake Festival and other ramblings

Moon cake festival so coincidently fall on the same weekend with my birthday.
I am no superstitious a person, but having to gather and play lanterns in the park is so much fun,more than I had anticipated. I have to thank Florence for inviting us to her house for this good fellowship. I also got to thank the rest especially my CG mates for so graciously celebrating my birthday again with a cake although it is been 1 day after my actual birthday.You guys are like a family to me in Penang.Got to also note my appreciation for being more "civilized" this time..like, not smashing my face into the cake =)


During lantern playing in the park downstairs, I was kind of amazed to also see other groups of people also walking around, flashing their different lanterns of every patterns. It is like a mini festive season in short.Among these people, there a few couples also taking this time just spending time enjoying each other's company.I guessed this may sound a little bit emo...but seeing these lovebirds together in the sweetness of the scene, each contented with each other's company...somehow it just touches my heart. As much as I tried not to, the memories of 'you' still comes back to me. The sweetness of your company reminds me of what's love I had experienced a long time ago. It's been 5 years..if only you knew...if only...things did not go how it went...and it is always still a strange thought to me of how I still find it hard to let you go from my memories, a heart once given...it is hard to receive it back again.

I was talking to a close friend of mine not too long ago.. we conclude that love is always a risk to take as we do not know how the relationship will work out in the future. Situation could become of the most bitter if things don't work out.It is like an investment that goes all wrong, except it does not involves monetary values, but of more important essence such as your time,trust,heart,feelings and etc.And yet I had to agree with my friend, that with all the risk involved...it's always worth another try and hope for the best..because after all, we are only human, emotional beings as we are.Something I had learned in church today..we are created to receive love and to give it out.Having this knowledge,it is of no use crying over spilled milk, or failed relationship in this case.I really have high respect for this friend of mine as even though things took a sour turn for my friend's relationship,my friend had learned to forgive and decided to move on.

In between birthday wishes from my fellow friends, many had so jokingly inserted the all too familiar standard suggestion to get a companion soon =)
On the personal note,the question I had to ponder a little more seriously now is...
"Am I ready to give myself for another relationship?"

On the brighter note, I just want to say I had a great weekend!
One of the passions I had in life is to play music, and what a privilege God had so graciously given me to play the drums in church for 3 consecutive days during these weekend. Although I was a little worn out...but seeing the crowd worshiping God for who He is..it is definitely worth every stroke that I made behind the drums. We had an awesome service...I could not have asked for a better place to be than these...
All glory goes to Him!

To any of you had happen to stop by reading these...have a great week ahead =)
