Experiencing Singapore

So a ghetto friend of mine, A-dogg, said that I should update you on my life, so…here goes! ONE, my computer is fixed! Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow. It was quite the process, but it is finally working. Next order of business is my weekend. On Friday I went out with the middle school teachers to a going away party. This party was fun at first when everyone was talking and having a good time, but then everyone started drinking and talked about dumb stuff. They would bring up topics that I could not relate to and everyone had someone to talk to, but I didn’t because I am new! So most of the time I sat there and read a book, while laughing at the drunken people who kept on saying the F word. How exciting.

On Saturday I went to a softball game, worked on some homework, and went for a bike ride. Sunday was the first day I would go to church in Singapore with Mandy, a friend of Ivory’s back in the States. Since church did not start until 2:30pm we went downtown and eat some lunch before heading to church. Mandy is a wonderful sister and treats me well. She introduced me to Singapore by eating their food and seeing the sights.

The church is called New Creation Church and is quite charismatic. The teaching was on tongues and it was…in the best word, interesting. Some of the things the pastor said were good and others were completely false doctrine. It was good to get to worship in church and to have that back into my life as far as music goes.

After church, Mandy, Tim, and I went out on the town! We walked everywhere including the music theater. It was pretty sweet inside and outside and there were a bunch of little bands playing their stuff and trying to get money.

We also walked to the Merloin, which is Singapore's masticate. It is half mermaid and half lion -- it was pretty cool! Most of the day we just walked around and saw all the sweet buildings that Singapore has and saw a little history. This is all for now, hope you enjoy the update and pictures! I love you all very much.

Seeking His Reason,

Cynthia

That's sweet that Mandy's there. It looks like you got to see the ocean finally. Yessssssss. It sounds wonderful there, friend. I'm real glad that God did what He did to make this trip able to happen for you. It's a good thing.

I love you. Hope today is a beautiful day for you.

Dear Cynthia,

As your ghetto brotha-from-anotha-motha, it is my duty to inform you that it is that time again -- yes, time for an update. I mean, I hate to be a pain in the butt, but we've moved on to a WHOLE NEW MONTH here since you posted last... Gotta keep up with the times, you know? Just cause you're having some wedding and hott honeymoon with some sexy asian guy today doesn't mean that you can just ignore your friends on the other side of the world. Anyway, bros before hos, you know?? ....I don't know how that applies to this situation, but it's true. ha. And if your sexy asian fiance gives you any crap, you tell him he can take that up with me (and tell him I have big muscles and several handguns which I keep hidden in my baggy pants, like gangsters do. lol).

Anyway, I eagerly look forward to this exciting, next new update. Thank you, Cynthia -- best regards.

Au revoir.

(And congrats on the wedding!! ;-D)
