when there was no planned time Sunday is my favourite day of the week. This has been so since young, and is even more apparent now. Pre-teen Jayne loved the handicrafts during Sunday school, and the promise of a large array of sweets and candies.
As a student, I looked forward to the break Sundays brought me from the mundane life of books and papers. Church gave me lifelong friends, brothers and sisters with whom I could share my deepest thoughts. Fun and laughter were the norm, sadness and heartache had no place in this sacred place. Or so I thought, at that time. Now, my Sundays were packed one after the other, with church activities.
Yesterday was Sunday. I had good fun as an assistant Sunday school group leader, bringing my group through a game of bible study. (Oh the irony. I just realised). Next was service. It was our band's turn to play during worship. Haha, I always enjoy playing the piano and listening to the congregation sing. It's smile-inducing=) Lunch followed, then tuanqi(fellowship). It was big group activity, where we had a time of 'speed-sharing'. Much like speed-dating, we went round 'exchanging partners', and answering some not-so-random questions to each other. Interesting way to realise that there's so much I don't know about the people I've been with my whole life. Just before the intensity of the whole self-realisation thing overwhelmed us (haha!), Ze Li ended the session with us playing a good game of sitting captain's ball.
The best part of the day came after tuanqi, when everyone just disappeared from the room (within 15mins!). Perhaps it was late(5.30 pm after all, and it HAD been a long day) and everyone was tired. Or maybe it has come to a point where people are just so used to scheduled time and planned activities, they don't know anymore how to enjoy the company of others without someone in charge of the time. Mingling without an agenda becomes a waste of time, unnatural.
And so, I was left in the room with YuJing, who had an hour to kill. And in that hour, I suddenly felt like a kid again. We talked about absolutely nothing. Well, not exactly nothing. The conversation ranged from setting up a business, to the oxymoron known as technology, sermons, and ended with the conclusion that 'isit' is part of the English language. And we used mahjong paper left from morning's bible study to attempt folding a star. Which failed, and ended up being a gun instead. We were becoming high, posing around the room with the 'gun', and snapping pictures of ourselves from under a row of stacks of chairs.
To sum it all up, we had a great time without planning any of it. That's carefree timelessness for you-time well spent indeed!(And that would be right=))
