pre-rouge

had dinner at Pre-Rouge with Michele earlier tis evening.
hmm... we had vegetarian pizza and vegetarian penne.
all fughi, greens, and peppers. yay! say green!
the food was okay. the drink list was limited. the service was lousy.
don't think i wanna go back there again to eat. yucks.

probably wil hop down to Alley Bar for drinking. makes more sense.
but mind you, the drinks are not cheap.
i'll rather settle for New Asia Bar 3-9pm promotions.
or Siam Supper Club's Thurs nite specials. 1 for 1 beer.
or Bar Stop's 1 for 1 wines.
the only nice thing about Pre-Rouge is the music.

i realized a very bad habit about myself today.
i'm unappreciative of what i have. i alwiz having something to complain about.
i don't cherish my blessings and gifts.

as all of you know, Jared's been in NS for quite some time already.
when he is not around, i harp on the fact there's no one to go shopping with me.
there's no one to accompany me to buy clothes or pick the suitable stuff for me.
i wish that he's there with me whenever i wanna go shop around after class.
i wish that there's someone to club with me at Phuture on a Fri nite or watch silly movies.
but when he books out, and we go out shopping together.
i complain that Jared drags me all over Orchard, walking for miles and not settling on anything.
it's not that he can't decide what to buy. but he wanna view the entire collection first.
especially when each piece of clothing cost $170+. he's very particular.
everytime we go shopping, everytime i come back and say that i don't wanna go with him anymore coz it's so tiring.

see what i mean? i don't appreciate that fact that within his limited time out in civilization,
we're going shopping together, doing things we enjoy.
he could have been at home sleeping but he chose to come out with me.
i don't appreaciate the fact that we've known each other for a year after a brief r'ship.
any guy in those situations would probably pay lip service to "we're still friends".
whereas for us, we're still supporting each other as a friend, as a church mate, as a confidant.

it's really time i kick this habit and appreciate the people who loves me.
little things they do say alot how much i mean to them.
i should in fact express how much i appreciate and love them too. show them that i care.
Joshua, thank you for alwiz being there for me, showering me with love and care.
alwiz being there for me to hug, hold and scold. alwiz cheering me up and kissing me silly.
sorry for abusing you whenever i had a bad day, dragging u around wherever i go.
Jared, you've alwiz been that rebellious punk who knows me inside-out.
though we often disagree and throw temper at each other. you're very important to me.
there's no reason to why i alwiz give in to ur demands. i just enjoy doing so. letting you 'win'.

okay. i don't think i can finish appreciating everyone who i love in here.
but remember one thing, you're alwiz included in my prayers.
today's sermon said

"be the salt that brings flavour and 'oomph' to grey mundane life; be the light that brightens up the dark skies. a Christian life shouldn't be bland. ask yourself this: when was the last time you were happy; when was the last time u jumped in joy or watched the sunset and relax? or were you so caught up in work that you neglected to be happy? yes, you can choose to adhere to a salt-free diet and sleep when the sun sets coz there's no light. but what would you be missing out on? there's nothing to anticipate in excitment, there's no enthusiasm in such a monotonous routine life. let us be cheerful and enthusiastic people, who appreciate the smallest of joys. then, people will be attracted to us - the vibrancy of a Christ-driven life."
