This weekend was one of my most tiring weekends ever. Started on Friday night, when I went to Kitty's opening of her judged thesis. She had five paintings up. I would say if I had had done something, and it was being sold or even displayed, I'd feel quite good and accomplished. I'm happy for her. This store was really nice too, the Roseland Gallery on Queen west of Bathurst (702 Queen St W). It had this huge door that was like 12 ft high that the owners had brought over from France in the original doorframe. Quite the piece. Anyways, unfortunately her display is finished as of yesterday.
Then I went back to Oakville to lead bible study for fellowship. I had a hard time preparing for this one because I did not know what to prepare for. the book we usually use I did not have, and the website with the scanned version of it was down. So I decided to open up the Bible and see what I fell on. Got Ecclesiastes. It was an interesting passage I though, quite relevant, so unfortunately I had no time, but I read it, read some quick commentaries online, and went in. I think it went well, some of the questions were good. Had some good conversation. But somehow one of our conversations led to the reason leaves on the ground spin in circles when blown in the wind. So we talked about Eddy's for a little bit. All in all, think it went pretty good.
Then after, drove back downtown for Dorothy's brother's gig at the Reverb. He plays in a jazz band, and this was the second time I saw him play. Needless to say, a lot of driving. But I enjoyed it a bit more this time than the last, and had a good time.
Saturday woke up early to go to the gym, then the rest of the day was Nolan and Pam's wedding. But I managed to squeeze in watching Spy Kid's 2 right before. Anyways, wedding was nice, first time I attended a wedding at TCBC, and the church was jammed. Luckily me and my sister found street parking at a street with construction, had a "Do not Enter" sign, "Only local traffic" in it, so some people did no bother going, lucky for us. Anyways, reception was nice. Had a band, an entertainer for kid's, and a DJ. We stayed til the end, and not until the last song did I start going to dance. hehehe, lucky for me again.
And Sunday, well aside from church, did not do much. Went to gym again, and experienced the self-serve checkout at Dominion again, a nice experience again.
I experienced a weird thing on Friday at fellowship. I was talking with some guys, and somehow we started talking about weight. So some of these guys are about my height. But I suddenly felt fat, they were all lighter than me. And here I am still trying to gain weight. I have not really been able to get past my current weight now for a good 8 months I think. i have been stuck at about 160 for a long time, probably longer than 8 months. And my friend was telling me that he was told by a doctor that the for the charts that tell you whether you are overweight or underweight based on age are misleading for a Chinese person because it's actually better for a Chinese person to be at the bottom end or slighly lower. I don't know how it's done, but if that's true, I wonder if I'm overweight? I am actually feeling kind of fat these days, because some of my pants no longer fit, have to get them altered to let it out. I need to lose some weight. =)
This year playing softball is going to be interesting. We got a new coach this year, a Mr. Bernie Ma. He has taken the courage to lead our team to victory this year. I'm proud to see he's doing this, because if not him, I don't think we'd have a second team. This is going to be a challenge for him, but I trust he'll rise to the occasion. We are resurrecting our Team Reconciliation this year, and we have a whole new batch of players. Even more interesting because I invited a friend to play this year. I'm wondering how she will adapt to the team, because she knows no one else but myself and Bernie. But I trust everything will be okay, but we'll have to wait for the season to start to see. I think a lot of us who have played before are itching to play, because it's been a while, and we want to see how much difference a year makes.
Nothing much else to talk about. Have a good week.
