PROCRASTINATE NO MORE!
finish blogging or it'll be clogging!
ok back to Ladies Retreat night 1. that night dunno y, wondering is it the hotel shower foam and the lotion i used, i had internal rashes the next morning. didn't really sleep well cuz i was scratching my palms n feeling itchy. woke up at 7am automatically as though i was waking up for work. went down for dim sum breakfast! woohoo! unforgettably great!
The session after that was very interesting, first time hearing from this speaker. Ang Mo who lived in China, spent her childhood making jiao zi (dumplings). so cool! her message was overtimed, but it's okay, i love to hear missionary stories.
We had this 'sit in silence' session. i have to admit that i nodded off during the silence. =x then auntie Adeline shared abt her Orang Asli mission trip. it was cool. there's this guy who used to be a bomoh, but after he saw how God works, he converted, and although he didn't learn how to pray for healing for other people, he tried and God really healed!
during free time i went out to Jonker Walk with my aunt and jieling's mom n another auntie. bought a small sling bag n pineapple tarts n blah blah blah (food).. haha. walked back to the hotel with some other aunties who also went to Jonker Walk. one of them bought mini stools (still heavy) and we helped to carry one each. wah by the time we got back i was super tired.
oh yah forgot to mention that yday (as in, the day before) while i went out with Auntie Maria i drank a roadside medical hall chrysanthemum tea (or something like that). after that i felt like throwing up. find that my stomach got upset with me quite often on this trip.
dinner was at the restaurant at the ground floor. it was marvelous, but too many things to try out. i couldn't eat so much.. aww.. but there was ice cream! hehe.. ate a lot of fruits this trip.
had another session.. this time i felt ready to ask for prayer. suddenly i thought of tanjung balai, n i began to xi li hua la. had 4 specific people to pray for. sigh. felt v heartbroken when i think of them.
after the session i felt like chionging to the room for a shower. had the urge to submerge my whole self in the tub (like water baptism). there was a problem doing that la. shan't say y. =P
still having this internal rashes. on my palms and seems to spread wherever i scratch. it's not external, so it's not dirty. Auntie Maria, the camp nurse, diagnosed it as dry skin, like Ae...zi...mer. She gave me antiseptic cream to apply, but like no use leh.
Next morning had continental breakfast. a bit lousy - their egg corner dun have cheese and ham one. i asked for scrambled eggs, the chef told me he doesn't have milk! managed to find some ham from the buffet section to add in.
we had a thanksgiving session before the last message and lunch after we check out of our rooms. then my camera batt died on me. so i started to use Fay's camera. during lunch the committee did a penguin dance for us. cute. then they played some games. called out the eldest lady n the youngest - which is, me. had to answer "what have i learnt these few days from interacting with the ladies".. tried to put it tactfully. haa.
haiya then something unfortunate happened la. on the bus Fay passed me her SD card so i could upload the retreat last day's photos into my comp. when we stopped over at Yongpeng i forgot that i didn't keep it well, i must have dropped it there. only realised it when the bus reached singapore! so careless of me.
the following week i got a SD card back for her n one extra for myself.
n thank God my rashes were gone after a few days! might be something happening in the spiritual realm, cuz the rashes n the stomach upset all that made me feel very self conscious, as in, i focus a lot on myself because of physical problems.
tue there was a thanksgiving session for the retreat. went with my mom.
wanted to take passport photo to renew my sentosa card, so i decided to go NYP to meet ting n take photo on wed (18 oct). then thru sms she told me that she's not having dinner with me, instantly i flared up. jumped to conclusion that she's going to pang seh me again. smsed her something that i had thought thru, but didn't realise that she thought it was something hurtful. her reply made me cry la. then i replied something in anger, but she thought i felt sorry abt it. (haha it's ok to say it since it's past) in any case, thank God that she did, because it cooled me down a lot. really felt that this "conversation" was in God's hands. we could have exchanged hurtful words n then probably end our 7-yr friendship there, but that would be so immature. anyway, in the end i went to AMK to meet her. bought a dress there at $12 (i wore on sunday) so glad! she bought a pair of pointy heels.
fri after work went to Holland V for Serene's bday celebration at Spizza. we have to "dress up" like Serene n give a reason how we dress like her. i wore my sis' dress that i think Serene would wear. =P ate alot sia. haha.. tried a variety of pizzas. shiok. then we played Charades after cutting cake. it has since become our cell grp game. took cab home with Aijia.
sat went to bishan to meet the SD card seller i found on ebay. then took bus to church for cell grp. had a hearty session when jeffrey led word. it was hilarious. ok la, but after all the message sure got through.
had worship prac.. a lot of waiting here n there. but prac ended early. we went to Lai Wah. =P
shared with esther that i've been feeling troubled by 4 friends, that from my conversations with them over the week i felt v burdened.
had a guest speaker for service n he shared a simple yet effective message on putting ur foot forward, dun hold back. certainly touches us youths (or is it because he's an ang moh speaker?? :Þ)
went for lunch with my cell grp at Marina Sq. took a photo at the instant photo machine. i zoomed in too much! didn't realise it would crop off so much. dunno whether the photo can be used since my head was cropped off quite a bit. my face super big la. :S
went to Cathay cineplex to meet sweeyi they all. pissed cuz we were asked to be on time, yet...!!! the longer i waited the more i fumed. haha i thought sweeyi really felt bad so she decided to treat me (actually is she wanted to return me money for the last movie we watched) =P then that hx ah.. hmm.. find that she advances v fast. now got new hairstyle wor. makes me wanna find a sugar daddy. =P
skip skip skip to tues. went to harbourfront to meet ting, wanted to go sentosa, but the queue for the bus was so overwhelming. eeeuuu. somemore cannot walk in. haiz. went inside Vivocity cuz ting still haven't gone to the roof top. i suggested we suntan up there, but weird la. there's this "shore"-like feature n we waded in it. forgot to bring my charged camera batt! argh!
in the end we decided to take bus to ECP (we didn't). we took bus 65 cuz we waited super long for bus 30 n dun wan to wait anymore. ended up in Tampines. had a long great conversation with her. lots of catching up to do. i always tell my friends that ting is someone even though we dun say anything, we will burst out in laughter abt the same matter. someone u r comfortable with even in the silence.
chilled out at Cottage Pies Cafe. really great place. beg me to bring u there!
dinner with MCG at Kenny Rogers'. it was exciting. really can feel that we are Finally doing something! =P
wed
went to Forum for lunch with clients. =) it was an all girls meeting cum lunch. genki sushi.. woo! the chawanmushi is really...... drool-invoking. real crab meat inside! had ice cream for dessert. this whole week haven't eat fruit yet.
had sectional training after work. have i been worshipping HK? i admit that i was quite obsessed with HK when i was younger. had wanted to go there since sec sch time. waited 7 yrs for this trip man. dug out my research on HK n i really have lots of magazine cuttings from everywhere man.
