So what has the said happy blogger been up to?
Life in the city is said to be on the fast lane…it applies to holidays too. These few weeks have been hectic to say the least. Last Wednesday Moi in my lovely new dress along with my family went to Shanee’s wedding…or should more correctly be her reception.
It was beautiful. But then again in the city there’s always something to mar even the best and joyous of occasions.
The reception card said 6.00 p.m. So duly according to city protocol we arrived there at 6.30.
Who ever comes to anything on time??? Especially in the sunny isle of Sri Lanka??
And there’s a good reason for this apparent tardiness too. One it gives a more dramatic entrance and two in Colombo nothing starts on time. And to prove my point the couple entered only at around 7.00 p.m. There was the traditional exchange of rings, cutting of the cake and all the other blah.
Does our country ever disappoint? Bingo. Roads were closed and guests arrived late or not at all.
But Shanee looked stunning and the wedding went on. Nothing in the city halts. No matter what happens we city goers smile and enjoy.
I wish so many times that things would change in our churches. I thought that when I came back that there would be some differences but nothing has changed. Im not the one to judge but somehow, someday all this silly bickering, and petty charges should stop. Its un-Christian. I wish the servants of God themselves would learn to love each other…after all aren’t we all working towards one goal?
Example: We had taken for the English Cantata some of the choristers from the Sinhala Cantata Choir. This act ruffled a few feathers which is silly given that both are of the same church and all. So what if we had them singing English carols? Does that mean we are taking them over to the dark side?
Some things never fail to baffle me.
Well we’re going shopping this evening. I’ll now go and bury my sorrows with chocolate brownies. LOL…
MERRY CHRISTMAS
