KYAAAA!!!!
PRINCE OF TENNIS 10!!!
Today after church, my mother wanted to buy Maths and Science assessment books for my sister. So we went to a hawker center near AMK hub. There is a building beside the hawker center that has Popular on its second level.
I had chicken chop for lunch today. It is usually called 'Western Food', which is normally not what we eat often, so I haven't had it in about half a year already. My sister just at one about one two months ago... -.-"
So after the very nice lunch washed down with a can of Pokka Ice Green Tea and a little Coke flavoured slurpee from 7/11, we trooped down (well, literally it's up) to Popular to find some assessment books for my sister.
The first thing I did when I stepped into the treshhold was head to the comics section. Stupidly, I went to the English one even though I know my father would never allow me to buy a manga in English. So I just searched the whole shelf for any books that I know of and like, mainly 'Prince of Tennis', 'D.Gray-Man', 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn', and quite recently, 'Black Cat'.
The English comic section was seriously lacking in diversity. Well, to me that is, because I'm not interested in most of the comics there. So anyway, the only manga I recognized was 'Fruits Basket', and I'm apparently not buying that. One, cuz' it's in English. Two, cuz' it's kinda lovey dovey and the drawings are a little...not realistic?
So I went to search for the Chinese comic section. I was strolling down the rows of shelves and finally found it. I skimmed and scanned the whole two shelves. And I found 'Prince of Tennis 1' (about 5-7 copies...), 'Prince of Tennis 10' (about 2, one of which I bought), and 'Prince of Tennis 40' (about 2 or 3 copies too).
I didn't have book 10, so I picked it up! YAY! I FOUND A NEW BOOK!
I really shouldn't indulge myself in worldly treasures too much...
Then there are also 'D.Gray-Man' 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13. They were all in Chinese (well duh, cuz' it's the Chinese section). P.S. Komui doesn't look like Komui at all on the cover of book 7, he looks cooler on the cover than in the book... And I found books 16, 17, and 18 of 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn' as well. I love book 18 of the series. It has my fave chapters in it!
So yeah, I can't find 'Black Cat' at all.
My father sponsered the book. =D My brother bought two books. One of them is a novel about Halo, and the other is some 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. That diary one has lots of pictures in it and it looks like it's aimed at little kids... and mind you, my brother is already 15 AND from NUS High... I'm so embarrassed...
*crouches in a corner and attempts to cover face with curtain of hair*
But yeah, the book about the wimpy kid had really cool drawings (well, they weren't actually very professional, but the humor's what counts, right?).
Today during church, Brother Kafai (remember? BK?) preached to us about God's call. About God calling us to share the gospel.
I REALLY WANNA BRING ZANN TO CHURCH!!! I've never actually brought up the topic of coming to church to her, I just pestered her about being a Christian... I'm such a bad person...
*emos*
Oh yeah, before that, we were shown a short clip about 06.07.08., which is an even held last week at the Summit at Trinity@Payah Lebar. Originally, when Ignyte first started, there were only 350 youths attending. Then the following year in 2007, there were 555, then this year, the count rose up to 665 (or somewhere near).
Then during 06.07.08. last week, 724 people came!!! There were 76 FTVs (First Time Visitors) and 21 salvations. So cool right?
I'm just regretting not inviting Zann over...
*sobs*
Back to BK's speech about preaching the gospel. When BK was 15, he received salvation. But before that, he was kind of a gangster. His friends tried to get him to know Jesus. Everytime someone comes to the door of his friends' house to preach about Jesus(BK goes to his friend's house a lot), his friend would drag him to the door.
Back then, BK really didn't want to listen and be a Christian at all. He said, "You want to preach about Jesus right?"
Then the person would reply, "Yes."
Then BK would let him preach. When the person was getting into the heart of the matter, when you could feel that depth of what he was preaching, BK would take small steps backwards, and SLAM the door into the person's face.
So evil right?
Everyone say it with me.
So evil.
So yeah. Last time, BK and his friends would go to some place and hang out. Then they would go up to just any random person and say, "I don't like your face. Your face not nice." and then slap them.
*shudder*
I wonder what kind of friends they were. Wanting BK to know God and at the same time slapping some random person's face on the streets. Maybe they were a different group, or they had a serious personality crisis.
Yeah, but someone persisted (I never knew who. BK never mentioned who at all) and he finally came to know Christ and became the person he is today.
And today was Brother Titus' birthday.
Brother Titus is in charge of worship and the...uh...what do you call the lighting, sound, video, blah blah blah crew? I doubt it's AVPA....
Pastor Derrick (I honestly don't know how to spell his name. All I know is that it is spelt very differently from what I've typed but sounds the same) purposely made a black-out and asked Brother Titus to go to the back and check what went wrong.
When Brother Titus went up, he was greeted with a cake and the lights came on. I, who had no clue what happend until pastor Derrick explained at the end, was, like, the black out was so fake. The projector was on...
Anyway, we sang happy birthday to him and then we were dismissed.
YAY! This was my day.
And did you realize that today is the 13th? My lucky number? And I found book 10 on this day?
