Yesterday nite our "winner" project grp met for dinner at Fish and Co cos Canice and Melissa were going off for exchange! =) Had a nice time catching up, then Mel suggested we go for a drink at Paulandos (er, I forgot the spelling). But anyway its this place that sells freshly brewed beer from Germany.
Quite sceptical at first, cos in my mind there was this image of a smoky and dark place. Turned out that it was along Milennia Walk..one of the places that i used to walk past when I was doing a temp job after A levels...
When I walked past that place at that time (I was 18!!), these thots went past my mind, that it was for the working adults, who went there to de-stress or to go there to talk business. So it was very strange, it was like me being in the wrong crowd, but Canice happily went ahead. HAha, like she was so used to being there.
Anyways to clarify, its not a pub okie..just some drinking place...very decent one!
So thank God we sat outside. They have chairs and tables outside as well. So just sat there and talk. Felt like I was sitting at any cafe or drinking place, except the drink in front of us was amusingly beer. I din order cos scared I would get drunk. Just took a few sips of my fren's beer which was q nice! tasted q fresh and everything. =)
What is the christian stand of drinking? We all noe that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, so we shd never drink until we are drunk, lose control of our bodies and destroy the temple of God.
Anywayz as I took a glance ard, saw some pple smoking and drinking. The executive looking kinda pple. I think they really need God! But it sure looks intimidating going up to them and saying, excuse me, can I preach the gospel to you? The truth is the older we get, our mindsets are set, we have our own kind of philosophy and are less open to change it. In fact university pple already have their own mindsets too! So really, we must cherish our youths and share with as many pple as we can.
What is it about being an adult? Its strange! Just like the phrase from a child to a teenager, and now from a teenager to an adult. So many new things we see, learn, go thru. Is innocence=childishness? The bible even says we must be wise like serpents and harmless as doves! Indeed!!
We are in the world but not of the world! =) We must always be careful we dun end up as scheming as serpents when God asks us to be wise as serpents. Great difference!
anywayz, have so much to share cos today I also met up with the halfway house. We are helping them to set up a social enterprise. And this guy came up with a new product and is gonna train the pple in the halfway house to make the pdt. So we came to the issue of money..how's the profit gonna be split and everything. Wow, I really dunno!! Have no experience doing this kinda thing, must go ask my boss to make sure all is fair and square. ;p
Okie dokes, just some thots from me abt the working world and being an adult!
