Busy, busy weekend!

Ok I'm supposed to write stuff 2 days ago but I onli managed to do it now... This is gonna be one long entry, so bear with me if you are reading this =P

Went down to my Grandma's hse late today cos I overslept, lolx... Bought lunch up and realised tat she prepared some fd already so I had a very sumptuous meal... Managed to finish the whole of the "Sum and Product of Roots" exercise in the amath textbk tat I bought and got my brain to work a little, hahaz... Finished close to 2.30pm which was abt time so I left for Vivo to collect the movie tickets first... Went back to Harbourfront MRT and saw Xin Hui there already... Jing Hui and Kaiqi arrived shortly after that and we proceeded to the cinema... By then my stomach was sortof churning and I knew tat something was not right... True enough, I had a bad stomachache and was stuck in the toilet for like 15 mins =( Came out to see the rest preparing to bring in their food supplies (Popcorn, Nachos and some drink) and I passed them tickets first cos Thomas havent reach yet... Luckily he managed to reach juz after they went in and we caught up with them inside... We went into the Hall and was abt to get settled down when someone told us we were at the wrong hall, lolx... Super paiseh la!! The correct one was next door, lolx... So we made our way out sheepishly and I double-confirmed the Hall number outside b4 we went in...

Now on the movie... I muz say that it was reli quite gd and I didnt regret watching this first movie in 2008... Simple storyline with a gd mix of humour and touching moments... I teared at the part where the main character had to slaughter his "pet" for the beef carving... N the Ramen part was ultra funny la =P Would reli recommend this movie though its in Korean (with subtitles of cos) becos it delivers something so simple but yet we miss it sometimes... The last part revolves around how to reli taste gd fd... Says something like the best fd in the world is received by the heart and not the mouth, n that sometimes juz a simple meal can be v welcoming if it can touch the depths of our hearts =) I think it all goes back to wad we believe we are doing everyday... Sometimes the most complicated piece of art may not be the one tat connects with people; rather it is the simple, cheerful artwork tat ppl can relate better to, although it may not be considered the best in the eyes of experts... Anyway, b4 I digress further, muz reli gif this movie 5 stars (more if possible) and I reli hope tat there'll be more of such movies! Sometimes all the fighting and action can oso be abit sianz, lolx... I would rather watch meaningful movies and reli gain something from it... I wont suddenly know martial arts after watching ppl do amazing stunts rite? But I can apply the principles learnt in movies where life lessons are taught =)

Anyway after the movie we dicussed/debated/or wadever u call it for more than 15 mins on wad to eat for dinner b4 Thomas recommended this Terra place to us... I ordered the chicken baked rice set but regretted it after tat cos I could feel the fd "somersaulting" around in my stomach even b4 I finished... Had to go to the toilet again for another 15 mins of agony =( Luckily things were abit better after that, though my tummy ache sortof delayed us and made us late for our meeting... Anyway, we were rushing along when we saw Planet Fitness giving out balloons and the crazy idea of getting some came into our minds, lolx... Xin Hui was the one who bravely went up and asked for 5 balloons and I think the person was also stunned for awhile =P So were carried our balloons all the way till we reached Agape la... (I havent carried balloons since dunno how long ago and there's this mixed feeling of being paiseh and feeling like a child, lolx) During the meeting my stomach was oso rumbling but I tried to ignore it and thankfully after that first round of powerful prayer it somehow became better =) Went back straight after the meeting cos I needed to rest and prepare for the next day, which was going to be quite packed...

Although I slept as soon as I could the night b4, I still overslept =( Was supposed to be at Shao Hong Uncle's hse at 8.15am but I onli woke up at 8.13am when he called me, lolx... Totally stunned for awhile when I saw the time then I juz told him to gif me 10 mins and I'll be downstairs... (he offered to drive across the rd to pick me up) Well, those 10 mins were reli like going back to the army man! I rushed thru everything and managed to get changed and went down at abt 8.25am... Super crazy la! Reached church and realised tat there was breakfast provided (for the Mens' Encounter Camp) but I deliberated for awhile b4 eating cos I was afraid tat I had to go to the toilet again after eating... Ran thru the songs after that with Shao Hong Uncle and that's it... One lone musician playing for their worship... Somehow the songs feel weird without a drummer... Think I'm quite accustomed to having at least the sound of the drum playing together with me bah... But thank God everything was still smooth and hopefully the music reli ministered to them...

During my break I msged Ben and asked him to join me for lunch... Luckily he agreed, if not I'll be bored to death, lolx... Played another session after lunch b4 heading straight for the children practice, which was followed by the youth worship practice... Reli packed day la... After that our cell had dinner at Dhoby Ghaut MRT, at this place called JustAcia... It was my recommendation cos I thought the free flow of drinks, coffee and ice cream was reli cool and oso economical =) So at least there was a real break during dinner and we juz ate and drank to our hearts' content... (my stomach was feeling better by then) Walked around for awhile in ps after the meal and Ben and me agreed to go back to my shop (S & K) to get some new yr clothes =) Reli do hope we have time though... Went back home and prepared for another full day ahead... Anyway juz wanna welcome Yixin back!! =P

Reached church today in time for the Children prac... (thank God man!) Saw Yixin when I stepped in and managed to catch up for abit b4 going up... Apparently she hasnt slept the whole night when she came back as she was unpacking and she has plans to go out with her frenz after service!! I think if is me will juz go home and drop dead, lolx...

I was the first one to use the Casio digital piano for the children worship and its reli bad without a pedal... Cant sustain anything and everything sounded so choppy, lolx... Not sure wad we can do but reli hope tat things can reli change and improve... After tat started my money-collecting frenzy downstairs... Was looking for ppl and trying to get money, giving them their change and stuff...

Oh ya Benjamin received Christ today at the altar!! =) Praise God man!! I was still playing when I saw him coming up with Simon and Jasper... After tat I was told tat he received the salvation... Congrats! =) Was reli happy for him though I couldnt reli tok to him cos of the evaluation and he oso had to rush off for Judo... Anyway, I continued my collection of money from different ppl after service and I almost went crazy cos there was juz so many things to do... Had to collect money from the Connection also and discuss the BBQ stuff with Jin Xiu, plus some other arrangements to make... Never toked to so many diff ppl b4 on a Sunday, lolx... (Ok that's abit exaggerated but u get my point) I was rushing around trying to do wad I could and at the same time trying hard not to forget anything...

After I so-called settled wad I could in church, I rushed off again with Elsen to Amos' great-grandmother's wake... Went there and found out that Amos wasnt there, lolx... In the end I ended up sitting down with Elsen and toking to Amos' mum... At least it was an opportunity I suppose cos I seldom tok to his parents... After that she dropped Elsen and me at Bedok MRT and went back to pick someone up... (forgot who liao, lolx) I took the train to Tanah Merah and found that the gals were oso there... Jing Hui, Han En, Li Yun, Felly, Kailin and Weilin were on my side... They pointed over and I could see Nicholas on the other side... So coincidental sia!

When we reached my mum was already waiting for us but we couldnt start playing badminton yet so we hung around while Felly played Table Tennis with my mother... So at 5.30pm we started badminton and played all the way till 8pm... This time round there was much less ppl compared to last wk and we were all tired out after the game... Jing Hui had craving for Popeye's and we oso didnt mind so we went there... I found out that Poh Haut (my company mate) was working there and he was reli generous with his servings la... Think the fries almost double the usual portion and my 3pc chicken meal became 4pc chicken meal, lolx... In the end I oso couldnt finish everything, hahaz... Prob cos I already too hungry until not hungry liao, lolx (that was the first and the last thing I ate today) Went back with Nicholas after tat but Bus 34 took forever to arrive =( There were like 4 24s, 2 53s, 2 36s, 2 27s and I'm serious!! Dunno y miss one bus muz wait so long, lolx... Ok, that's the end of my super busy weekend... Main thing now is to consolidate the BBQ stuff and prepare the food... So far including new frenz, we have more than 70 ppl!! Although some is not confirmed, but let's continue to pray and ask God to work! N I believe that we'll have an enjoyable and fruitful BBQ this Sat! =)

p.s. I'm having my first practical driving lesson on Tues =)
