I have been in Singapore for more than one month now .I choose to go here for the most important reason that I want to live a different life ,experience the fresh things, maybe even change in to a totally distinctive person.
As a matter of fact,I do really go through something quite new and exciting.One is that I went to the church on Christmas Eve.It was arranged by our auntie in our hostel. At first I didn’t take it very seriously because I thought it was just the compulsory acivity.However I changed this thought completely when I got there. There were 3000 people around to attend the church that day.Except us,the PRC students,all of them are Christians.There were several sections of that service which impressed me most was when the priest said that we would switch off the light and light the candle to give thanks to the Jesus for bringing the light to our life.It was all dark except the candle light from everyone’s hand.Everyone closed their eyes and spoke in a low voice,I guessed they were talking to the God at that moment,some of them even cried.What’s more when the singer sang on the stage all the audience sang together and held out their hands.Everyone looked so sincere.I was shocked and realized the meaning of the religion.I thought religion is something that you will believe in forever ,is something that will influence your way of doing things,is something that will give you the power and strengh.In a period of time I have some misunderstanding of the religion,I thought it was superstitious.But I knew the ture meaning of the religion since then.
There some things fresh to me as well ,like going to a jazz concert ,jumping into the sea,clebrating the New Year with a lot of people.I can’t envision what I will experience next because there are so many new and exciting things around the corner.

i still can't feel the power of god but i actually cried silently that night in the elegent candle light.i don't know much about the feelings that have been controlling my mind and my movements all my life.maybe it is the power of belief,the sincere belief of all the christians that touched me deeply in heart.

ReplyDeleteIt is good to experience new things as it enriches your life.
what a beautiful exprience,i hpoe you'll meet more fresh and moving things. I seem to come into that church and see the candle again from you passage. Those songs also impressed me and i think we should be grateful to gods and behave ourselves well.
