Trickle of thoughts...

1. October 20 was a sad day for our Prime Minister (PM). He lost his love, Datin Endon who fought with cancer for 4 years. Sent my condolences (a first time for me!) through the internet to the PM's office. So so sad....

2. Went to Genting Highlands with the Kon and Swa family! it was good fun, especially for the children. Little Genevieve was running all over so so happily! The kakak had some exercise too!

I went on that ride hmmm can't remember the name, the one where it takes you high up and then drops you? Ok, i went once and then the second time, Mary and kakak came along! It was really great fun!

3. Pastors' Appreciation is not really happening... wish it were... Most are simply un-excitable in church these days.. adults and youth alike.. I wish that everyone would like take a moment to just think about what this dinner is all about and why we even bother! I mean, our pastors serve us hand and foot.. from pulpit to our homes, to our lost relatives, friends, you name it. They got all sorts of things on their plates and yet when we call for a dinner for them like ONCE IN 3 YEARS.. everyone seems so "ho hum" about it.. really sad...

4. I gotta find another hobby liao... either that or read LOTS more! it isn't that i have the time but wanna do something different... hmm some thinking about this is needed! Maybe cooking classes, bible class, learning a new craft?

5. Worship ministry changes... gonna be some changes here.. bracing myself too! New song line up or rather, fixed song line up.. something i don't really like but gotta submit.. not my will, but Yours be done...

6. I don't like the way the prayer session in service is being conducted.. seems like there is very little prayers (wonder if God feels the same!) Maybe I shall initiate some things there too....

measure of affection...

How can I tell if someone likes me... or not?

How much does he/she like me? How would I know? How can I tell?

Some hug and kiss as a customary greeting, whilst some simply nod in acknowledgement or just wave from afar... does that mean that, a kiss and hug person, likes me more?

What does it matter? Well, I resent the fact that we dish out culture as a reason for the lack of show of affection... hmmm, I wonder why courting couples are the only exception then...

I am of the view that, the measure of affection should not be based on merely the outward show. Yet, we cannot dispense with some "show" as we ought to convey our appreciation for the person if they are indeed of some significance or importance in our lives. (Defining significance and importance is for another time...)

End of the day, I'd like to know where I stand...

Wonder if thinking aloud is a good idea after all.. Anyways, this is just an observation..
