I'm going to Spain! I'll be flying on the 7th Oct at night, and will be back on the 23rd of Oct, sometime in the afternoon. Just so anyone who passes by knows. Frankly speaking, I am not very excited at all for the trip? It really was supposed to be Spain at first, then it was changed to Italy. And Italy's the place that I want to go the MOSTEST in the entire world! Home of stylish cars, interesting architecture, long roads mirroring the curves of cliffs by the sea... I was sky high, pumped full of anticipation, in a transport of delight, however you want to describe it!
Then my mum, somehow assuming that I'd always wanted to go to Spain instead of Italy, cheerfully told me that the organiser changed the destination back to Spain. Who in their right mind, given a choice of Italy or Spain, would want to go to Spain!? I felt as though my heart had just opened it's eyes, looked at Medusa, and turned to stone. My throat ran dry, and it felt like someone had just poured iced water down my insides. I don't mind telling you that for one moment, there was REALLY bitter disappointment there.
It's not that I don't think Spain is a nice place though I don't know very much about it? I'm sure it has some nice stuff and I'll tell you straight off the bat that if there was no mention of Italy in the first place, I would gladly be going about my preparation with a grin on my face! But I've got to let go of my disappointment somehow, 'cause lots of people would give their right arm to go to Spain. I do know that it's rather a blessing to be going there for a holiday.
I'm going to 4 cities. Cities, for Heaven's sake! D= Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, and another one which I'm not sure of. Yeah, yeah, big football stadiums or whatever... Maybe the music there would lift the black cloud over my thoughts though! There's the silver lining I should look for! Wonder what I can get for my homies when I'm there. ^^
Anyway, enough about Spain. I led worship in LG today, and played guitar too. It's been an age since I've done that really! I think I did much better than the last time a few months ago. My guitar skills're rusty, I cannot play on and on as I used to as the hardened fingertips have more or less gone. I didn't prepare what to say, just the songs to sing, and it turned out pretty well 'cause I purposely put lots of quiet moods into worship. I remember the days in high school where worship didn't have much lingering time? I must be getting old 'cause that's the part I look forward to the most these days hahaha!
And God really did his nut today. A mistake turned into a real blessing. I tapped Yihui towards the end and a three-way utterly confused whispered conference between she, Qianjin, and I ensued, accompanied by gesticulations befitting Italians (oops!) and frantic eye movements. Finally, she turned to me and said under her breath, "I add?" or so I heard. Well she conveniently rounded up worship for me, which for some reason, I was utterly clueless about today, and it was only after that that I realised she had whispered "I end?" rather than what I heard. Hahaha, feeling a little sheepish now, but hey I say, thank God for small favours! She did rather a good job of putting the cherry on a cake then. ^^
Time to get some rest now, Yushan and Kaiwen're coming over at 10am tomorrow to write musical songs. That's early man. *nods sagely* So in latino fashion (as depicted in Hollywood, at least!), hasta lavista, BABY~!!!
