It's Chap Goh Mei today, 15th day of Chinese New Year and mum is cooking up a storm at sis' place in Bishan for tonight's dinner, inviting uncle MW over for dinner. This year, CNY has whizzed by rather quickly and tragically for some in Singapore. On 2nd day of CNY, there was a fatal dawn car crash at Tanjong Pagar Road that killed five young men in their 20s, around 5:40am. Following that, there were other incidents...
Anyways, it's a happy day today. Looking forward to dinner tonight.
Over the past few days, reports of RZ's posthumous fall from grace have been all over the internet - confirmed sexual misconduct over the past decade during his active ministry. It is perhaps a sigh of relief to the victims who had suffered sexual abuse to see that they are now vindicated because what was done in darkness to them has finally been brought out to the light, albeit the offender is no longer alive. For that, I am actually glad for them. But I am saddened that those who had put their faith in RZ probably have their faith shaken up because of what happened. Also, there is huge disruption to the RZIM organisation as a whole. Strike the shepherd and the sheep scatters - that's the devil's strategy, is it not? However, God is still in control because we are to look at our Great Shepherd - our Lord Jesus Christ, not simply behold someone made of "finer clay than us". Sigh. I still feel somewhat sad.
Yesterday was 14 Feb and mum and I had lunch at Han's (Novena Square). She had stir-fry beef hor fun and I had grilled pork chop. For dinner, we headed over to Bishan where sis prepared veggies, and steamed fish with chillies. After dinner, I had Valentine's Day Pilates with Priscilla and Julie. There was a third lady who joined in later but I did not catch her name.
Today, mum and I went to Alexandra Retail Center to try out a relatively new cafe called Colourful Day Cafe. Mum had beef rendang nasi lemak and I had chicken wings nasi lemak and we ordered wanton soup to accompany our nasi lemaks and that was a brilliant decision. :)
Cannot quite believe that half a month of February has already gone by. Tomorrow when I wake up, it will already be Day 5 of CNY! How fast each day goes by!
