My friend was sick during the Oktoberfest earlier on last month, so we didn't get a chance to partake in the festivities. Decided to have a get-together last Saturday at Paulaner for some beer and food.

My first time at Paulaner, it was not bad. But guess I expected more, since I heard so much good reviews about. It was alright, but not as great as I had expected. The beer is smooth though. I ordered the 0.5 litre Munich dark lager, to go with my beef tenderloin. Absolutelment parfait! :D Maybe next time I'll try with the more traditional pork knuckles and bratwurst~

Went there last friday night for a soiree organised by my friends. First time there, it's a great place to chill out, and the wines are fantastic! I think we had 2 bottles of the South African Buitenverwachting - Buiten Blanc 2007. Very sweet and smooth~ and a bottle of red, but didn't know from where and when.

We sat inside the cool air-conditioning. A pity it was kinda crowded, which made it difficult to talk, as we were seated at a long table for 12. It would have been better for talking if we had shifted outside to the al fresco, but they couldn't arrange it.

haha, maybe go there by myself on a weekday in the afternoon and have a quiet drink with a friend or two on my leave days~

-----------------------------------------------------

God, at his deepest level, is a lover (1 John 4:8). he is relationally oriented, and relationally driven. He desires connection with us from womb to tomb: "I have loved you with an everlasting love" (Jer. 31.3). God's loving nature isn't passive. It's active. Love multiplies itself. God the relational Lover is also God the aggressive Creator. He wants to fill up his universe with beings who care for him - and for each other.

                                                               From Chapter 10: Boundaries and Your Children
                 in "Boundaries: When to say YES; When to say NO; To take control of your life"
                                                                      by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend

My Heart is Filled

Sang this song for morning devotions. Great song to start the day~
-----------------------------------------------------
My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who bore my pain;
Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace
And gave me life again;
Who crushed my curse of sinfulness
And clothed me in His light
And wrote His law of righteousness
With pow'r upon my heart.

My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who walks beside;
Who floods my weaknesses with strengths
And causes fear to fly;
Whose ev'ry promise is enough
For ev'ry step I take,
Sustaining me with arms of love
And crowning me with grace.

My heart is filled with thankfulness
To him who reigns above,
Whose wisdom is my perfect peace,
Whose ev'ry thought is love.
For ev'ry day I have on earth
Is given by the King;
So I will give my life, my all,
To love and follow him.
