After the Children's Day service (Which was by the way a blast... we saw superheroes all around and children responding to God), I went for my one day leave on Monday. I told my boss that I wanted to spend a day to rest, relax and refocus. I started my day with my first jog in months. After the jog, it was downhill all the way. Having read about this guy who exercises so regularly that he falls sick everytime he stops exercising, I feel kinda weird that the opposite was happening to me. I felt so sick that I couldn't do all that I wanted to do. It was frustrating and I tried to force myself to feel good but of course it didn't work. I was lying in bed, half dead with my 3 kids trying to revive me.

The irony is that during the whole day, it never occured to me that I was sick. Until later in the evening when I pick my wife up from work, she enlightened me. I felt silly and I was forced to see a doctor (realise it has been a long time as well)and was given a two days MC. So my leave turned into an MC and I had another day to rest on Tuesday before watching Quidam which Mag and I had good and free tickets to.


Quidam by Cirque du-soleil was fantastic. It was a celebration of music and dance with some good old circus tradition of clowns and acrobats. The communication was impactful solely done with props, music & movements and hardly any words. It made me think if we talked too much in our kids service. Two friends came to mind during the show. One involved in dance and the other music in our church. During the intermission, I bumped into the 'music' one in the toilet. Coincidentally, this brother will be coming to help us with the music side of our service soon. Well I don't believe in coincidences as I believe that God work silently and mysteriously in ways that are beyond words or imagination. So I didn't try to figure out what that incident meant but at night, God showed me something else from His word in Isaiah 49:20.

The next day Wednesday, I came back to work rested, relaxed and refocused. It was great taking that one day leave on Monday.
