Just another weekend

The weekend can sometimes just blow by so quickly, that I feel I've not had much of a rest in the first place.
Hmm, this weekend of mine was action packed to say the least.

It started off on a Friday night with a round of nice drinks and chit-chat with old friends, till we were ushered out of the Marina Mandarin's hotel lounge. And that is a first for me.
My plans to sleep thru mid-Saturday afternoon were taken away by my dearest mum. She woke me up to have coffee and visit IKEA with her; but I was feeling lazy, and it took me the grandest of 2 hours to wash up and got ready. By the time we were at IKEA, it was past lunch time, therefore the queue was significantly shorter.. and that was good news..

The evening was a brief work-out. It was the first time I open 2 cans of 'gas' tennis balls with my dear tennis kakis (buddies) and I'm sure they had a ball of time. Like any other part of my tennis game; if I had decent contact, follow-thru properly on my strokes (esp my serves), I get an easy return shot, or an "ace" but then again, I double-fault too often trying to get my serve in properly or hit my strokes with more heft.

Sunday was a good Sabbath. It was pretty adapt for me to be reminded about living a surrendered life in service. Besides church service, it was nice to bring a new cell member for soccer. I'm glad that he seems to be adapting well. To see his face lit up when he finally got onto the field and playing his heart out was the highlight of the match for me. And for the record, I played in goal again. This time around, at least I had a clean sheet till I substituted myself to rest .. final score of the game was 1-1. Not too shabby I must say.

Finally dinner on Sunday was an early celebration of my mum's 52. We had German food :D Of course, German beer was thoroughly enjoyed; unfortunately, our short trip to the nearby cheesecake cafe was fruitless as the cafe was packed even on a late Sunday night..

Yup. That's my weekend. Geez, now I'm back on my desk, preparing for my week ahead. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying for favour among many other things; for my sister's application.
