Of Articulations, Blading, Cable-Skiing & DotA

Today was an awesome day! Woke up early to meet buddy Richard at his place to learn how to roller blade. The weather looked deceivingly gorgeous for a day out along the beach. Sadly, the morning rain ensured that I could only get most of my experience in the carpark under his condo. But I must say, I did manage to learn how to blade straight, though not for more than 10 seconds. =P After we got bored, we adjourned for DotA games with Terry, and of course, lunch upstairs.

When the rain stopped, we went cable skiing. Another awesome activity! Only we were too ambitious, attempting to use the wakeboard immediately without going through the kneeboard and double skis. Initially, there were quite a few people queuing, and we had to wait quite long. Then the rain came again. I stared at the sky, wondering if God was telling me that I should be helping out Crusade with matriculation instead of fooling around at ECP. Thankfully, the rain stopped and by that time, most of the people had left, so we had the time of our life taking multiple turns with no queue! Good value for money if you asked me. Sadly, I couldn't go much further than the turn just before the long stretch. At least Richard made it for a good 50m before falling into the water.

After the sun had gone down, we had the famous wanton noodles topped with BBQ chicken wings at the ECP food center. Delicious! Plus we got to have an intimate conversation with quite a good number of pretty girls to look at. Not much can be divulged here, besides thoughts on John Bevere's video, God, honor's rewards and relationships. It was a great bonding session. Definitely going to find some time to borrow Richard's blades and get the basics right once and for all.



It's amazing how God helps maintain friendships, and how brothers can strengthen one another with testimonies and straightforward, honest conversations. Well, more wacky activities completed! +)





Friendships that have stood the test of time and chance are surely best. Brows may wrinkle, hair grow grey, friendship never knows decay. -Anonymous

Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. -Solomon (Prov 27:9)
