Holy Week†

HEy readers!

So this past weekEND has been greaaatt because it was holy week! Now for those non-Christians out there, holy week is basically when my faith celebrates Good Friday [The day when Jesus hung on the cross to die for our sins] and also Easter Sunday! [The day HE RESURRECTED OMG YAY!] So to start of this epic weekend i went home with a bag load-of-crap and tons of homework to do. The minute i went home i just conked on the bed and fell asleep like i just wanted to take the load from the week off of my back. When you know what happened that week you will understand why it was so damn -ugh_ish-:

1. Fencing Interschools = STRESS = came back home damn late that day
2. Physics SPA practice where i got a shelling from my Physics teacher BECAUSE I WENT FOR COMPETITION AND MISSED IT. And let me just tell you that she went on and on about me being too 'committed' about other stuff besides my education. It's not like i purposely want to pon her AFTER-school lessons (which she originally said was OPTIONAL) right, just that i damn sway all my stuff like investiture rehearsals and comp. dates all happened to fall on her extra lesson days and she scolded me for that?! She even accused me of saying i did not care about Physics and i might as well drop the subject BUT if i didn't care, would i have personally come to look for her after school and do my spa ALONE in the lab for a freaking hour and i didn't even know how to start. She even assumed the reason i asked my friends to ask her is because i was 'afraid of her scolding' when i really just wanted to contact her in the most convenient way possible: By texting, and my phone for some reason can't seem to send an messages to her. Well but she is still my favourite Physics teacher ever so i guess everybody has their bad days :[[[

So with that horrible start i just wanted to sleep. And i did, i slept.
Friday was more a less a limbo day for me because i wanted to attend the Good Friday service at my church however my family couldn't go and i don't like being the only non-family kid there during service, so i thought of the next best thing: The Passion Of The Christ. Now this movie is a must see for all Christians out there because it is a really good movie that brings you through the final hours before the cruxification of Christ on the cross. As a kid i watched several snippets during Sunday School but i never watched the full movie and it was really good and gruesome at the same time. The wounds that Jesus had were so severe you could even see the flesh inside [kudos to the makeup artist though] and it made me cringe thoroughly :S But after watching the whole movie i had this odd need to read the entire of Matthew and i could because i managed to wake up super early that day.

Saturday was a rather interesting day as it is when i attended my Baptism class and i got to know more about baptism and its implications in my life so that i really knew what i was going to commit my entire life to! After that fascinating 3 hours, i decided to stay for youth service and i did not regret despite having a crapload of homework undone. That day my pastor gave out a pamphlet regarding the Momentum Conference 2014, which is a conference for youth in Singapore and its focus this year will be about the LGBT, and where our stand as Christians are, with or against? Or is it somewhere in the middle, guess i'll have to find out on that day! This applies to me a lot because my favourite youtubers like Tyler Oakley and Kingsley are gay and i wanna know how i should deal with that fact? idk but i do know that i love gay people cus they are hella funny.

Oh and also i convinced my CG mate to play dragon nest [hallelujah?!?!]

Sunday was epiccccc because MY GRANDMOTHER GOT BAPTISED PRAISE THA LORD AMEN. The cool thing was that it took place in my aunt's Chinese Methodist church so the entire service was in complete Chinese. Now Chinese holds a special place in my heart as i have this love-hate relationship with it so let's just say worshiping and praying in Chinese was a completely different experience altogether :P

Well that's it! Holy Week for me in a nutshell. For some reason i re-downloaded all my hillsong tracks onto my phone because this week made me learn the importance of my faith, just like how i felt after one80 2012 ended but i do hope to maintain this zeal for a long time to come!

-Godspeed.
