What a profitable weekend...
...this was truly a blessed time, as well as a "de-stresser" time.
FRI: dinner with housemates at Jump! Cafe and Bar. Awesome food, relaxing atmosphere. i got Grilled Calamari with anchovies, capers, black olives and lemon brown butter, Seared Sea Scallops with butternut squash caponata, garlic rapini and vincotto, dessert was a Dark Chocolate Tart with espresso cream.
Afterwards got together with Mr. Kwan Chan for some sharing/catching up/chilling.
what a way to start off a weekend =)
SAT: Breakfast at IKEA with Emily, Esther and Mel. Good times chilling with three fair maidens. Then lunch with family at Asian Legends. MMmmmm...hot skillet beef...
Did some nerdy stuff in the afternoon. Got together at night with Kwan, Emily and Esther for some BBT. Beautiful time just chattin' and laughin' and then getting kicked outta the food court. Went to First Markham to see Abby for 5mins, cause she was too popular. Chilled more with Kwan (solid guy is he) and parted ways we went.
"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." [Proverbs 18:24]
SUN: Sunday service, reminded to be STILL broken. It's not a one-time thing but a life-time thing. Lunch with family was sweet. Got a call from Will saying Caleb was back in town...which means...hAlo14 meeting. Went to Montana's with Caleb, Will, Eric, Mike and Gab. Such an awesome time just getting together like the "good ol' days" sharing, updating each other on the happenings of our lives. Really challenged by the discussions we had. Soul searching. Then came home for dinner with family and back to the loo.
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." [Proverbs 27:17]
This weekend really helped put my life back into perspective. In life, it's not all about school, marks, money, material stuff, the current snapshot of life...it's about the bigger picture, the grand scheme of things. how i have lost sight of the eternal causes this term. my BSc degree is meaningless, but my relationships with people is meaningful. the only investing i wanna do now is in people, time well spent.
