:: week ::

last sat was Youth Bazaar.. i took alot of things out to sell, so much that linfeng calls it "half of chatuchak". hahaha.. really lots of rubbish at home. i can't believe tt my dad actually scolded me for wanting to bring all tt to church, cuz i was asking him to drive me there. just dun understand y he got so worked up over it. so i just kept quiet n let him scold lor. n then he wanted me to bring more stuff. unbelievable right?

i realise tt 3 hours was too short for me to display all my items for sale :( haha.. n camp comm was going around "selling" games. i was too concerned abt selling my own stuff (too much n i dun wanna bring all tt home) tt i didn't even buy a cookie from camp comm! so selfish!

after tt i had worship prac. i was v tired from carrying all my stuff.. so really appreciate linfeng for helping me carry them home. (my cell grp guys were "condemning" me for not even treating him a drink! haha) the sound girls bought bubble tea for us during worship prac.. so nice of them =)

22 apr
led a song for worship, then after service 2 pple came up to me n told me my singing improved.. wahh for a moment i was on cloud nine. the praises just hang around my head like a halo. then i quickly "slapped" myself to come back to earth.

after service we had lunch at zion rd riverside food centre.. haha i took aloysius' car and made a bit of a detour.. cuz i only remember the way there thru a certain route. =x after tt went home to slp.

then mon to fri nothing much la, everyday after work go home watch tv, eat Indomie lor.
thurs more special only. got client come, n they brought Coffee Bean muffins for us. weee~ they came around 10am, so i had the muffin for lunch. yay dun need to go for lunch with my colleague =x but i still went out for a walk during lunchtime. ended up feeding mosquitoes. i prayed, "God i only wanted to take a break during my lunchtime, please don't let me get dengue fever because of that." i was a bit worried cuz the bites were quite bad.
then after work i was intending to go home watch tv, i was even planning to buy bee hoon from the food court near my place. just then, on the mrt, i was scrolling thru my smses, cuz i sent Andrielle an sms in the morning, then i realise i haven't read her reply. n then i scrolled down some more n suddenly remembered tt i was supposed to be at bishan tt day! n just then i received a call, it was jac, asking me where i am.. then i quickly alighted at serangoon. somehow serangoon is near bishan la. n i'm sure i can reach bishan quite quickly, just not sure how. so i anyhow walk to a bus stop. hmm.. bus 58 goes to pasir ris...from bishan! so i have to get to the opposite. there were 2 bus stops opp. so i decided to go to the one further down, but when i reached there, there's no bus 58! so i walked back 1 bus stop. sigh.

some of my cell grp pple were at the S11 having dinner. i was late already, so i thought, when we walk back to bishan J8 then i go n withdraw money. but in the end we didn't take tt way. some of them drove, n they parked behind S11. haha. i ate wanton mee.. wow, i like the noodles. handmade. the qiu lian ban mian also famous there. after dinner we went to andrew's father's wake. andrew was in el shaddai, but tt was many yrs ago, before he went to australia. anyway my cell grp + shirley bong found a corner and we just had our own chitchat. talked abt school uniforms, Kings in the bible, err.. and a lot of random stuff. haha.. =x

28 apr sat
parents went to tj balai. yay, whole hse to myself. haha. shared word during cell. i was actually not nervous before cell started, but it's prob because i didn't even think abt it. so during word i was quite lost in thought at times. i realise tt the word doesn't have a main theme, but rather a few aspects of the story of King Hezekiah which individuals can find something in common, to relate to their lives.

half the cell had worship prac.. haha.. when worship prac ended, my dinner time also ended. =x but i still went with some of them to bishan S11 for dinner. at this time most of the stalls close already. i ordered the ban mian n shared it with tricia, jeremy n aloysius! wah really made the money worth. =D after dinner malcolm gave me a lift home. he was driving cuz his parents went to tj balai too.

sun
couldn't wake up earlier for breakfast. hmm.. i always compromise breakfast for longer sleep. haha. grabbed a bite from the bakery at the Mrt station though. i was actually counting the cost la. in quite a bit of a financial difficulty now. can't afford to spend $6 on breakfast. i also got to forgo some comforts.

just before service started, vincent said he was nervous. haha i also dunno y.

carol was sharing during the 9am teaching. it was personal as well as encouraging. but i think King Solomon's wisdom mainly comes from God, not his mother ba. but Bathsheba must really be a God-fearing woman that of all the wives of David, that God would choose to use her to carry on the line of kings.

n joseph chean preached abt forgiveness. it's true, tt when u forgive someone, u're not supposed to expect tt person to change, but rather a change of ur own attitude, that u can accept the person as he/she is. i wish ting was there for the sermon.. i hope ur relationship with ur mom can change for the better, for ur own sake, because it's painful emotionally to be at war with someone. even if u think u're ok with it, actually somewhere deep inside it's not. there's really a lot of pain involved n i hope tt u can break free of it. then i myself prayed tt i will forgive my mom. cuz i was thinking, y should i celebrate mother's day for her?! so after hearing the message, i realise tt even if she doesn't deserve my appreciation, i should still show her love because God first loves. i am forgiven, so i also ought to forgive. there should not be any outstanding debt, except the continuing "debt" of love. we're not called to love only those who are lovable. tt's what sets the difference between a Christian n a non-Christian. of cuz non-Christians also can love if they want to, but what i'm saying is, Christians ought to do better at that.

btw.. now is 12am. haha. my parents are back from balai. n after work i'm going for Canon Benson's farewell dinner. n after that i'm going for MCG bbq, staying overnight, n then going for Psalmist quarterly discipleship, n then.... Jueru's bday party. =)
