hmm.. ok actually i think my motive for the trip was quite wrong. I LOVE MALACCA. i was just thrilled to know that this yr's Ladies' Retreat is at Malacca. tried to find a roommate, but couldn't find, until last minute Fay says her friend not joining. yay.. finally i can go! took leave, paid for it and settled! at first i thought without roommate cannot go. funny. then i felt that if they anyhow put me with any of the ladies i would feel weird. then i thought of Family Camp i think 2 yrs ago. i was arranged to room with Anna, Amos' sister. but i brought along my darling bolster, n i felt pai seh to take out my bolster in front of her, so i went to my parents' room to bunk instead. to think of it now, i feel v bad! think i caused her to feel left out.. at that time i still thought i had done a good thing by letting her have the whole room to herself.
ok back to the retreat, the start wasn't so well.. on the bus Fay was leading worship, but the ladies behind me were chatting abt their own stuff.. quite loudly. wanted to sleep on the bus, but had to do something for the chairlady.. so i didn't get to sleep. only managed to, when fay n i decided not to do the work anymore. when we reached the hotel, we played some icebreakers in a function room. then we checked into our rooms. it was not bad. i like the toiletries. =P we had 2 hrs of rest time, i felt that i need to explore the place instead of sleeping. so i went out with Auntie Maria. went to a nearby shop n i bought ALOT OF THINGS!! wahhaa.. melaka food products. =P spent nearly RM100. explored the shophouses around the area.. then went back to hotel for dinner.
had a session with our special guest speaker. she preached about having individuality, in the sense of uniqueness. Our theme is You are Uniquely Precious! don't let the devil deceive u to think that u r lousy or wad. God is bigger than the devil! we lean on God! later there was a prayer session, but i didn't go up to be prayed for. hmm better dun say y.
oops okok chihiro coming to my place soon. update abt the 2nd day another time!
