Two Chicks & a Climber Reach New Heights
Great to get to see everyone at the Bible Study again last Thursday. They were studying the book of Hebrews so Kirsty and I were ever so slightly lost *baffled look*. We ended up trying to answer the question, 'How can God take the 3 forms, Trinity, the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit' and some really cool metaphors came up. Like how H2O can be in 3 forms, ice, water and steam, and how a clover has 3 leaves and is incomplete without each part. But then the argument came up that, 'How can he be all 3 at once?', and again they used the H2O example, saying that it cannot be ice or steam at the same time, etc. We then managed to get into the evolution/creation debate and Kirsty really put her foot in it by stating that she was definitely an evolutionist (sly intake of breath around the circle as she said so). So anyway, it was an interesting discussion that night and the food was delicious as always *yum*.
Friday night, we got ourselves looking all pretty and headed for the @mosphere Revolving Restaurant. We were greeted on the door and taken to the 18th floor where our jaws just dropped. So retro, chic and very classy. Everyone there looked loaded and we started to worry a bit about how much this was going to cost us *edgy chuckle*. It was a bit steep but really not bad at all for the quality of the food and ambience of the place *thumbs up*. We started in the funky lounge for cocktails as the sun set, we had a view spreading far over KK, through panoramic windows, which as it got darker, reflected the moody lights and sparkles from inside.
Our cocktails were to die for and the food more so! We had an overly rich meal of chicken with indescribable goings on around and about and inside the bird. The menu was highly amusing with its descriptions of dishes. For example, mine was described as 'One sexy bird you can't miss'. Never felt so bloated after a meal though *puffy face*.
Georgie and her parents invited us for a meal for Saturday lunch, so we met them for a Little Italy (we ate far too much this weekend!) Not long after, Kirsty and I had to head off to meet the teachers at the school because they were also taking us out for a meal that night. We were stuffed, but had to oblige of course! So we met them at 4pm and Teacher Su picked us up and took us to Guyana Seafood restaurant. Neither Kirsty and I are fans of seafood, but I thought I might as well be adventurous. So we naively agreed to eating various shell fish, prawns, soft shell crab, sea cucumber and other random things I can't even name. Kirsty woke during the night with a burst of food poisoning, nasty *shrugs*.
Kirsty and I had arranged to meet Pearl and Crystal to go to Church that morning. They took us to Sutra Harbour (5 star hotel), as their Skyline church is held there. Luckily the air con really helped Kirsty's stomach and she was feeling better in no time. It was hard not to feel better with the atmosphere around us. It was a special occasion because of Father's Day and it was the Church's 5th Anniversary so the place was packed, everyone was dressed in their best and all made an effort to greet us. Everyone was so friendly, smiles all round. There was a live band on the stage at the front, who were fab and sang all of the hymns. There were also a group of girls that did modern dancing. We sat at the front, behind the Pastors and their wives, who were all exceedingly energetic, no joke. One woman was highly amusing. At first she was jingling her tambourine and shouting 'Amen' and when Kirsty next looked she was dancing around with a big flag and singing, then next, she was blowing a massive buffalo horn thing *cracks up*. It was so funny. Maybe you had to be there! She was a happy chappy though. The Pastors in front of us were jumping like ska fans. It was a lively service to say the least, with an outside speaker from Singapore, who cracked some smashing jokes. He was passionately preaching about 'Identity'. The senior Pastor studied medicine at Oxford and had quite an English accent, the service was luckily all in English.
Had refreshments after, then Pearl and Crystal's Mum invited Kirsty and I to join them for a last get-together meal (at another 5 star hotel). Don and his wife, along with a few people from the Bible Study group met us at the hotel. There was a real family atmosphere and the food was the bomb. Kirsty and I couldn't believe we were devouring another rich meal! A little too stuffed by now.
Headed back to the Asrama and got a game of Basketball going with the deaf kids. A great laugh! It started pouring down half way through, which made it even better. We felt a bit of a cheat being the only one with shoes on, everyone else was in bare feet. Managed to actually score some baskets *hoots*.
