sunday

I was deceived. Deceived by the stream of sunlight flooding through my window. As soon as I got on the bus in my summer shorts and hoodie, a big patch of greyness advanced through the sky. And along with it, a ghastly wellingtonian wind. Gah. I should be thankful that at least I am not in Dunedin ;p which I heard is unusually cold this year.

After church, I walked along Cuba Street, in the cold, seeking for the spicest soupy lunch. Came across Thai Express and ordered a Tom Yam Noodle Soup extra extra spicy. I was literally in tears and I suspected the receptors in my taste buds had suffered a tremendous insult. I had milo later on with two generous heaps of sugar and it tasted like plain water.

Arise is having a baptism service tonight. 77 people is going to be baptised! I am really curious how long this is going to take or are they going to have a mass baptism in a swimming pool? Anyway, I came across an article on a psych journal. Very interesting. There was a research comparing the efficacy of treating a group of patients with 'possession' like psychiatric manifestation between psychiatrists and protestant exorcists. As expected, results showed better improvement in those who were treated by protestant exorcists. But they attributed the treatment efficacy to 'awareness and sensitivity to cultural believes'. If only they knew. People are always trying to find explanation to everything.
