dinner was @ the bedok nth 85 market.. okie.. it was a great beginning for the grp as seldom such a large grp goes for dinner... and ya.. plans after dinner/supper includes the ratatouille movie..
well.. well.. i should say with ted & ys ard.. it's rather FUN.. oh well.. i guess the 4 of us : joyce, ted, ys & i were the more noisy and silly ones.. well. else nite will be looong (see we have 2hrs to spare after dinner.. so we went to the games arcade (???) then starbucks.. and to me ..though rather "crappy".. hey revelations too... well.. the principle of the "last shall be the first" should be clearly illustrated in the match between joyce & ted vs ys & me.. haha.. ys & i was lacking behind initally.. but we ended winning 11 to 10 ! heehee..
2nd lesson: the story of the ant(s) & the clipped finger/toe nail remains (i wonder how the nail bit ended up in starbucks.. the TM branch.. OMG.. someone CUT his/her nails @ the cafe? eeeeeeeeeeeeeks!) okie.. we were sitting in this corner (the interior) when yours truly spotted this ant crawling up and down the wall behind ted.. suddenly one became two.. and .. more.. then.. lo & behold, i spotted this nail piece moving up the wall.. wA.. these two rather long black ants were moving the piece of nail up the wall (wa.. true althletes! akin to human's sport - rock climbing...) trying really hard.. and when they were struggling, more ants assisted them.. and there was also an ant leading the way (like the commander in charge...) and truly, it was BY group effort that they managed to move that piece of nail up the wall.. ard 2 metres high.. strangely... this reminded me of the verse
"And though a man might prevail against him who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ecclesiates 4:12 (the Amplified Bible)
One ant alone cannot move the fingernail up... so two managed to move it halfway up.. however to go further up (the gravitational pull is greater hence greater strength required) the two can't do it alone.. this is where the power/strength of teamwork come into play... if some of the ants decided to head east , some west, some south, some north.. they would be moving on spot only... the synergy of a team when all are going in same direction and towards the same goal...
Isn't this true in life? I believe that to get to the other higher ground, all in the group have to the same vision, same direction and be willing to chip in whatever effort they could afford...most importantly, be willing to take action... if one decided to do his own thing.. the group will be weaken... you are as strong as your weakest link!
hmmm... :)
amazingly how God worked...
well.. well.. ought to zzzz.. singing later... :) but was glad that i joined them tonight and truly i can see that this group is heading towards somewhere... :) and ya.. i know the best has yet to come.. (regarding.. hmm.. keke)
