I have spent a differnt valentine yesterday. I went to JB to hunt for a dress for my bro's wedding dinner this saturday. I was really desperate and I have tried searching for weeks and I decided to give it a try at JB. Claudia suggested to drive in and eat cheap food and buy cheap stuff.

It was pretty happening. Claudia, Pastor Jeff, Pastor Lawrence, Pat, Prisciall and few others of our colleagues came along too. I didn't go with high expectation but with some hope to get a cheap and nice dress.

To my surprised, as we started to go our seperate ways to do what we need to do. I got it within 1 hour and it was really cool dress. Black velvet baby door dress which cost $40. It was cheap for a dress and I suspected it will cost at least $80-$90 in Singapore. I realised I look good in that dress! ha! (self praise)

We had a good time there and we managed to catch a movie - Firewall by Harrison Ford. It was an average movie compare to other action packed movies lah. It was pretty slow in the beginning....

We left JB at 8pm. I supposed to meet Lennon at 7pm and I was really late. :)

One thing I learnt a precious lesson as I travalled back to Singapore. I asked who invented valentine's day? How does it comes about? Some says it's to commemorate a Roman Priest who was thrown in prison because he illegally married couples. Now, valentine was commercialised now. It's for many industry to make more money out of the couples rather than anything. As I think of it, it's kinda of cute because people are busy celebrating valetine yet not knowing how this day comes about.

I think as we are living in this world, as growing Christian, we need to keep our mind sharp by asking good questions and come to certain conclusion after examine the scriptures and the cutlure we are living. It's not going to be easy to keep in God's way but it's going to last and raise the right type of leaders to influence the world in the right way!
