After the Terminal 3 event, I went to church. I simply love the sermon. It was practical and very relevant to our daily life. It is about PERCEPTIONS.

A question to ask "How good is good enough?"(This is also the sermon title) Nowadays, many people find their self worth by comparing themselves with others. This is an endless pit and many people have fallen into this pit unknowingly. People find a sense of achievement if they they realize they are better than others. However, oftenly, this feeling last for a while as they will be someone better. Then, they were try to be better and the cycle goes on. I'm not saying that improving is not good. In fact, improving is a good thing! The bad thing here is finding the self worth by comparing yourself with others. Our self value shouldn't be depended on others but on the creator. God loves us and that is a fact. It is not something that pastors always use to psycho us with. (Yea, i used to think why pastors always like to say this. Now I understand why. They really mean it from their bottom of hearts) His love is demonstrated on the cross, in His word and in our daily lives. It is something that we cannot earn or beg for. It's already there.

Another thing which I learnt was that comparing doesn't bring good. While I was blogging, I was reminded how I used to compare tertiary service and youth service. I remembered the first day of tertiary camp, I cried out to God because of the big change of environment. I compare tertiary and youth a lot. Seriously, I got nothing better out of it. Instead, I feel worst. Well, although tertiary may be different from youth, God still love his church. We are till a part of the body of Christ. After staying in tertiary for a few months, tertiary service isnt that bad after all. Haha. Yeah. Instead of comparing, why not look it in the other way?

After service, eagle (xiaoying) and I were asked to delay xueting while the others went to istana park prepare for her birthday celebration. Later, we're supposed to escort xueting to istana park. wow. the people planning for her bdae are really creative and lovely. before we reached istana, she was asked to watch a video which peixin they all had made. After that we continued the journey to istana. But before Xueting walked across the road to istana park, she was asked to be blindfolded. Then when she reached the pathway to the pavilion in istana park, the people lit up all the sparkles along the road before she took out her blindfold.

After that, the unit sat down to play games related to xueting while samuel and I went to help to put candles on the cake. HAHA. We nearly burnt the whole cake! We are given 2 types of candles. One is the normal candle which you always get from the bakery. The other is a long and thin sparkle candle which dont sparkles. We were told to put the candle in the shape of 21. So we tht of putting alternate candles but it turned out horrible. Then samuel suggested to put all the sparkle candle in the middle and put the normal candles at the circumference of the cake. This also means that there will be A LOT of candles on the cake! Then we lit up all the sparkle candle in the middle and a while later, one of the candle was bended and it burnt even bigger! We panicked like mad and quickly blow out the fire! Then later, Thank God that Rusty came and helped us. More people more hands. In the end, we chose not to use those sparkle candles and put all 21 normal candles on the cake. After all the putting and taking out of candles, the cake became a "moh peng" cake! But phew, by God's grace, the cake was not burnt!
