My Weekend: Prawn Mee, Dead Rats and a 'Single' Sermon
Well, I had the most eventful weekend ever.
It started with my church cell group meeting. We had a prawn mee fiesta at Jimbo's place on Friday. After which, we watched Groundhog Day, a very nice old movie starring Bill Murray.
Anyway, that's besides the point.
Being now almost full-blooded bloggers, we had to camwhore the prawn noodles. Did you know you can actually tell a lot about a man's character by the way he prepares his prawn mee?
LOL, ok I made that up on the spot but see for yourselves.
Jonzz' 'Overloaded and Overdecorated' Prawn Mee
For a change of pace, on Saturday, I went to Subang and had a rocking good time with some of my buddies, Duzhai and gang, and came back in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
At this juncture, I would like to bring you this sobering message from Subang:
Poor rat, I'm guessing that smoking with cotton buds was what did him in.
Then finally on Sunday, of course, I woke up late for church. (Don't follow my example, I'm evil) Anyway, I looked at the clock and thought it must be lunchtime already but NOOO...... it was 9 o'clock. So dragging my feet out of bed, I managed to reach in church in time to catch Sherman's sermon.
And boy, I must say he outdid himself today.
He vocalized strongly what I've been discussing on and off with my church friends. The church has been subtlely treating single people as 'different' or 'abnormal' by putting them into 'singles' CG where hopefully 'something will happen', and organizing events like marriage counselling seminars where 'single people are also welcome'. Sigh.
Anyway, some familiar key quotes he highlighted from Paul the apostle:
No institution or person is right all the time; and by that, I have taken the church as an example. People need to speak up and discuss with open minds whenever issues arise.
That, in my book, is the key to unity and growth.

- Single people are better able to serve God because they are not committed to family affairs.
- Paul advocated marriage only if you cannot tahan (can't stand being single)
