Pancake day - Shrove Tuesday
Date: 5th February 2008
Venue: Jill's house
Today is 2008 Pancake day. Pancake day is also known as Shrove Tuesday.
The name "Shrove" comes form the old word "shrive" which means to
confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess
their sins so that they were forgiven before the season of Lent began.
Shrove day is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it's the
last day before the Lent. For more info about Shrove Tuesday, please
refer to http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/shrove.html

Hot discussion after Living Spring cell group at our home
Date: 2nd February 2008
Venue: our home
After bible study, we gathered to discuss about the "reunion dinner".
At first, it will be steamboat dinner, later changed to dishes prepared by
cell group member.
Suddenly, our dear brother Leon mentioned that we should have dumplings
for our "reunion dinner". Someone said it's too troublesome to prepare
dumplings. However, he insisted to have dumplings for reunion dinner.
So, we have to tolerate by agree with him. Later, somone suggested that
why not we get ready made dumpling skin so that we don't have to make it.
Again...... he insisted that it's better to make the skin ourselves.
Ok..... again we have to tolerate.... haha......
Finally, Nelson asked brother Leon to make a summary of what they have
discussed just now. Below were the summaries:
i) We will meet at Amy's house on Wednesday
ii) Each of us will bring a dish (either meat / vege)
iii) Brother Leon & Kenny will prepare the ingredients for dumplings
And the last point is the funniest !!!!!!
iv) Somebody will need to arrange transport for me......if it's convenient
then it's good. If not, then why not that "driver" make an effort to come to
my place to pick me up? haha???
Brother Leon, you are always the best!!!!
