Well, sometimes it's really hard to choose what to write about because too many things happen and I barely have the time to write them all. I myself keep a hand-written diary everyday and occasionally I also take photos. And this blog is the third place where I can record some of my encounters. How good it is if I can automatically synchronize the three! Um, or the four (including things that flash through my mind).
Ok, back to the topic. Yesterday I went to the morning service in that Chinese church. Er, I have never been this annoyed in a Sunday service. The kids and toddlers sitting behind me were making all sorts of noise throughout the 1.5-hour sermon and the teens sitting in front of me were chatting all the time!!! Aaahhhhhhhhhhh, can you imagine how annoyed I was???
So, as you can guess, I simply could not concentrate and I had no idea of what the speaker was talking about. And I was just wondering why they do not separate the kids. Um, this reminds me of what I saw in the fellowship on Friday: The church is recruiting helpers for the year 2008 and not even one person sign up for the Children Sunday School...er, maybe this is the reason why?!
In the evening I went to church AGAIN! Megan invited me to her church which is located pretty far away from the city. I think it's a good idea to take a look and see how the Australian style is like. The church is cosy and beautiful. There were only less than 30 persons in the evening service so it was pretty spacious. I was slightly surprised to find that I was the only Chinese attending the service and that made me feel a bit strange. (Well, not VERY strange as I could not see myself...:p)

What impressed me most is that someone requested to sing the hymn again after the service was over. I think that is a very warm thing to do but I have never seen anyone does this before in any of the church services (not even in fellowship I suppose).
