A Weekend of Sorts
9 Mar Saturday saw the beginning of the NUS Arts Festival! My second time at it and i was on duty to see a reviewer who was dropping by to watch the show and carry out an interview.
So this week didn't leave me time to go out on my own n i felt engaged the whole time with work some way or other. But still i'm thankful for all the hours granted by God each day. 24 fresh hours to wisely spend.
Fri evening began with mentoring grp at the mentor couple's home. Wanted to stay late and do some web updates for work but cos of this i realised i had to put work down and really spend time on god-matters/ with God-ward people. And it was a blessing.. even if it was fewer people who could make it. Some sharing and re-focus on the Lord is always a sweet exercise.
On Saturday i had a gd sleep in and went for a late morning/ early afternoon swim, finished off with a gongcha drink and some sushi (My fave combi after a swim/ from bp plaza). Some food really serves as comfort when it's just 'me-time'. By afternoon i set off in the hot afternoon sun to UCC.
So evening was all at the event but even that had beautiful moments because Solo/ Duet by T.H.E Dance Co. was a visual treat, seeing dance steps executed on stage reminds me of the beauty of dance i sometimes forget. And so this is y it's impt to be exposed/ immersed in the arts. It's rejuvenating for the weary spirit. It makes my heart smile and glow from within.
Bumped into familiar faces, people from dance circle.. and so small chat always makes me light up too.
In the evening at my impromptu request, managed to have supper and a little laughter with friends from this neighbourhood. It's awesome this practice.. i actually called for a supper when i felt slightly stressed about the website updates and how slow it was.
Woke up early to attend Sunday's sermon by special guest Dr Ravi Zecharias from the US today.. deep chim message it was... i don't recall much but who knows the inner workings this message has already planted in my soul for the future. I believ every God-ward thing we do is spiritual treasures stored up which will do us good in our christian walk years ahead though we may not know how or why today.
Had a quick lunch with my close church frens and scooted off to a masterclass by T.H.E Dance Co. My first attempt working with choreos from this co. great exerperience, serving as a reminder to dance more, and i've a long way to go. nonetheless, dance IS Beautiful. If i've to sum anything nicely, my word for it wld be BEAUTIFUL :)
Thereafter i sat in starbucks at U Town for 4 hours just doing up an EDM due tmr. Dont know why it took so long, but it did. Glad to have my space on a sunday evening, different from usual family time etc. This wkend, i fullfilled my wish to 'do some work in U Town'. glad i did, i like it there! :) Just me, my work, clean space, gd environment, gd U Town view and a latte (at discounted price!) Need i ask for more.
Watched a little bit of the drama show and headed home. Wanted to do more work.. but now feeling too tired to go on.. need to conserve energy for work week tomorrow too.
The good thing abt this wkend cos i spent so much time on work? There's no monday blues tmr. Haha.. i nv tore myself away from it this wkend.. my only concern abt the coming wk tho, is following-up on all requests and being on the ball.
Do pray for me please, and i trust God will safely see us thru another week.
Was feeling a lil down/ overwhelmed on the way home.. not sure if these feelings coincide each time i know i'd be on my own ..(funny how i like having my space, but i think it saddens me too). So anyways, folks r out for quite some time and i'll have complete freedom in the days ahead as the Fest goes on...
And so these various highlights complete how i found time for 'life' amidst work.
My soul is happy. And i am rested (even if not physically).
