sunday afternoon and i finally have the free time of blogging! in fact i've been wanting to do this since friday because this week has indeed been a great week, with labour day holiday and sports day on friday!
it suddenly dawned on me during cell that my cell group had been praying for more rest for me this week cause i totally burned out last week, being even busier on my weekends than weekdays..and then comes labour day and sports day, PTL.
btw, with relevance to my previous post.. i have to say i was talking about myself...

monday night i had dinner with gramps, and i find i'm starting to love and treat them better these days, it may be because the nun my PW group spoke to left something in me, to cherish and treat the older relatives of mine with more love and respect... what she said just strucked me so hard, i realised how much i've neglected my grandparents... how much they have done for me, though usually grandparents dont do much for their grandchildren. so yep, dinner was great.

tuesday night i met with the intaj boys, shawn, jared and eugene.. great time of sharing at city hall.. (before that i had 2 free ben and jerry's ice cream of course, haha ronda and dionne!) nice to see all of you moving on so strongly, and that what we learned in trackers still remains in our heads.. everything was nice except the food hahah.

wednesday night was the REAL intaj meeting, at wendy's place with pastor kaiming and the girls... the best part was when we all shared about our recent praise reports and what we're struggling with... super enriching to hear everyone share, it took about 1.5 hours! and then pizza... Ben came late and we were all laughing at him... as quoted:

"the girls in my school... err arent very very intelligent... but i find that i can fit in well la" (serious tone)
thats uber funny la! haha ben is super funny... but thanks for coming all the way down, though u live so far away, and went to wendy's mum's place instead LOL... ben is so funnyy.

ok, labour day! wake up late! had a good rest. was suppose to play soccer with wenjie, but so many guys couldnt go... including nat.. oh well..
lunch with corrine and our band was the best... the food was great, the atmosphere was great, and its just so fun to sit for 3 hours doing nothing but eating and playing some irritating repetitous game! hahaa pig pile! and at the last part i won!! cause lois fed me with the card hahaha.... should have seen the look on janice's face!

after that, i went home to dress act cool for the night's play.. shakespeare on love. met up with T11 guys at the mrt station, and cutter was looking super beng la hahahah... and his pants makes ppl wanna rip it off. soloman liked my heart pinkk tie so i lent it to him, and i wore my red one instead hahah... steph wore some really girly long dress, and she looked anything but buff, so those ppl (like me) actually ate our words on that day hahaha... kaiwei looked like a primary school teacher too, like buffy...
christabel looked like a zebra, black and white everywhere but still really nice, and belle looked too mature for how she rly is.. ahahah ~ehh~ sorryy...
guys, nothing much la cause all of us wore black shirt, jeans. except yunsong!! wear white!

the play was good, new exposure and i could appreciate it alr even on my first one. i am right la, lit is a subject for me. Othello was the most impressive... when the black dude acted i could almost feel like i was othello, blinded by iago's deceptions so much that he didnt even bother to find out the real truth..
it brought to my mind the verse which says the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy... how true and apt for the story of othello and iago!
the actors were funny.. and the female actors were pretty, overall, it was super worth it! 8.60 for a shakespeare play, once in a few years leh! more worth than ironman!

the class went to drink after that, but i dont rly know if they really did that la.. sherrie mark bel and i walked with them to the pub/bar/wadever, stayed a while before rushing off to catch the last train... thank God we all made it home lol, if not, $$$$$$$$$ zzz. cab la.

and the next day we actually ran for sports day though everyone slept like 1+ 2... funnyyy...
basketball was great, soo fun though we got trashed every round cause j2s were playing with us! so bad right! think we disappointed elissa, she's a basketball player so i suppose expectations and pride are different... whereas i'm just, JUST, a basketball player. rly horrible.. my shots are my best asset and now i couldnt even score one... all bouncing off the rims. but well at least i scored a few... elissa scored everything else hahaha...
after lunch together with the j2 class, made a new friend called deborah who's also into worship in her church... i went back to fairfield to see things!! UNFORTUNATELY, parade for BB has ended, and i only saw a few boys training to be drill instructors...
however i got to see the gb girls in action, my sister and jessica leading girls everywhere.. whoa never see before lor! suddenly, i felt like my sister is not young or stupid anymore.. she knows what she's doing and she does it well... even better than me. respect la.. i suppose we should really not look down on younger youth... they may be so much better than us in ways but because we're older, we feel we've been through more, therefore we always look at them as "younger youth, inexperienced".

after which, dinner with enping and daniel... nice of them to put up with me by eating at DOVER, hahaha...
and then i met with delci.. caught up and stuff, nicee...
its even more encouraging that after helping out in gb, she still has to rush off to worship prac... this is how life should be man!! but i give thanks i could rest this weekend... 1st sundays are break sundays:)

saturday was tiring, but nonetheless rewarding... i decided to help my church youths get tickets to hillsong live... rounded up about 30 youths... had youth comm meeting which was kinda productive this week, and then adelle, alvin and joel accompanied me to get the ticks...
i'm so thankful to them for being with me, because if not i would have waited about 3 hours alone!! but once i got the tickets my heart was like WOOO YESHHHH....
cant wait for it, and for the youth to rly experience live worship, it'll be a fantastic experience...

overall, this week has been fantastic... perhaps the free ice cream made it so, but i am finally, seriously, getting fat.. no exercise, no nothing... just eat and eat everyday, night, late night.. urghh...
dionne this time i'm serious, hahaha ur slimmer than me.
to joel, thanks for sticking with me for almost the whole of saturday... though i think its cause u needed to be with me la.. (~ehh Sorry......)
just miss all the trackers peeps... even christabel for some reason!!

:)
