Revisiting The Pews

I guess it was long time coming. At some point in my life i know for a fact i had to return to it. I mean how long will you continue to stray from it? You know for a fact no matter what you've done, where you've been you'd one day return to it. It's always there, will always be at least for now if you know where to look. Just like the last time, it didn't spare me. Again, it dished out it's usual treatment on me. Oh how merciless it was.

..Pews

Seriously those things were made to torture your ass. You know what? i'm not alone in this. Shu-Wen too doesn't like them! hah! I remember how we once went to this singing thing in some baptist church in PJ. Incidentally, the church had just been renovated and the renovation was done by my uncle. Needless to see the punishment the pews dished out on our poor sore asses was subsequently carried to my uncle through my aunt. My family, aunt and Shu-Wen went through one of the longest 2 hours ever.

Anyways,

The main reason i was sitting on pews was because I was Klang Gospel Hall for a rally. Wheeee. Klang!! The place with no traffic lights and er.... everything civilised.

I'm joking. Allot of familiar faces were there, A really good sharing by the speaker i must add, he evoked both laughter as well as serious thoughts. Good for the unbeliever i suppose. Being there in that church really felt like just this big family thing. The way the church members walk around talking just like a big family. Thats really nice. It helps when you have someone like Sean who seems to know everybody as well.

Yea, Thats Sean. The dark one. and thats me...the one with the huge gaping mouth at the famous Klang mamak apparent. Oh yea, i got to drive his manual car. And now, i'm happy. haha. I wish i had a manual car to drive=( .

On the drive back i was sort of thinking about what i saw and sorts at Sean's church and it really struck me that for some reason, i have never had a great churchy social life. As in, i've never really bonded really well the way i do with ppl outside the church. Its somethin that puzzles me. I walk into church, see the familier faces, small talk in a sense and see them next week. The drill makes a merry go round the next week.

I don't blame the church. I think its just me.

For some reason i've always felt intimidated in a sense when making friends with church mates as if i'm afraid what i say isn't going to be found amusing. But then again, i don't really make friends easy come to think of it. There are the exceptions but i don't think as a whole i do.

I realise in a sense i am pretty reserved. And it does take time for me to warm to you before i can really gel. And prolly thts why i don't really make many friends in a church context, seeing you once a week doesn't quite cut it for me i guess.

But what am i saying. My words and points just dont seem to connect don't it? I'm just rambling. It's Late.

Oh btw Shu-Wen... I'm dieting. Here's proof..

=)

Good Night.
