Hello people!
Today I felt REALLY BLESSED!But yeah I haven't updated for a few days due to sleeping too much on Friday and busy-ness on the weekends.So so I'm gonna update on all these few days.About 19 or less pictures in total.
I don't have much to talk about on Friday except that once I came home,bathed,watched half a dvd show and and went to sleep...until 7.39.And Net's at 7.40.Imagine how I rushed lol!But yeah,net was good,Jason Oon taught.Oh yeah,HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERINA!I love ya loads,and I wanna let you know that you're special!
Yup yup,Saturday came,and I was robbed of my sleep for a moment there.Thanks to pet-a-thon.It wasn't THAT fun,but I won't say it's that bad either.So after,I got home,changed and met uppy with Nicolette to go to westmall.
We didn't have much of any idea what to do really.So I decided that the first most interesting place that we should go would be popular book and stationery stall. And going out with Nicolette will always mean that Nicolette WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS spot something SUPER interesting.And what did she spot this time?
A HUGE edition of Captain Underpants story book.And we're both 14 years old.BUT WHO CARES,we took the book down anyways and read the whole of it.It's thick and big alright,and yeap,heavy too.But we stood there reading the the book all the time,laughing and commenting how witty and funny the book is.
After that,both of us got our own little snacks,I got my all time favorite tu-tu kuehs and Nicolette got a bubble tea with peppermint contents(:...so after holding the book for a ridiculously long time we went to mos burger and sat there and talked.We do love talking yes?
Met Charis,Caleb and Qian Hui later on and we all went to edge together by the church bus(after a really long time of not taking the church bus!Haha)And so,caught some lovely sights on the way.
The sky's so PRETTY.God's really so creative!
Service was good,I liked the Buzz Light year analogy that Pastor Jeremy gave.Haha,I'll elaborate on it tomorrow(:But overall,I met God that night and it felt so good(:
The night was ended off with dinner at 'Buckaroo' to celebrate Eric Loh's birthday.People present:Eric,Angeline,Nigel,Nigel's girlfriend,Joash,Pamela,Caleb,Bro Martin,Sis Karen,Dillen(or is it Dillon?),Deisha,Shannon,Callista and I.
Deisha and Joash.So cute right?Haha.
Oo-la-la 'Buckaroo' is sure an expensive eating place,$3.20 for drinks.And by the way,these drinks aren't like some 'Super mango mix durian smoothie' or something like that,but normal everyday drinks,like 100 plus,root beer and stuff.However,plain water's free so we all drank plain water except a few who ordered Root beer and a fruit punch.
This is ONE AMAZING DISH.Onion rings,the first starter food I saw on the table.Creative ain't it?I was like 'WOAH' when the waiter first came to my table with it.But THERE'S REALLY ONIONS in them.It's nice though (:
The SUPER HUGE pork ribs that Joash,Pamela,Caleb and I shared.I finally understand why Buckaroo is so expensive now.The food's good,and they come in HUMONGOUS portions.My my.
Time for MY main course.A huge bowl of lasagna,which I loved because it was so chewy with cheese!And I love cheese.I could finish 3/4 of it(surprisingly,I thought I'd be full by the time I reached half)and thank goodness there's Caleb and Joash to help me finish up.They didn't mind,being guys they do have bigger appetites and the food is good.Thank you so much guys!
After the food we went out to have some fresh air before coming back to wish Eric happy birthday with a nice chocolate cake.
And happy birthday to Eric!I'm glad he liked the cake.And of course,thank the very friendly waiters who helped refrigerate the cake and also sang the birthday song to Eric.
The cake!Looks pretty good huh?
Nigel suggested that I'd take this because when he saw me taking the picture of the cake he was like 'Eh don't need to take the cake must take the birthday boy better,since it's his birthday.'So yup I took Angeline and Eric (they're a couple btw).Aww,so sweet ain't they.
And yes,I had to eat the cake,since they already sliced it for me.I was REALLY filled then,but ah wells,I took it in anyways.But it's alright,the cake was really nice!(:
Bro Martin and his family sent me home later on,TO MY ESTATE.Very nice of them right!I was really thankful to him and his family who offered to send me all the way home.Usually some people just send me to like the closest MRT station,bus stop or stuff...so to have a ride all the way to my doorstep would be really nice!Thank you all so much!
This morning,woke up early whirly for Sound duty.I had other plans at first but they got canceled in the end.So sound ministry it is.Sound was alright today in the morning,I could slack a little bit since Sis Wendy asked me to pass my walkie talkie to Bro Roy instead.Usually I need to be VERY attentive to the walkie talkie in case the video people need anything from us sound ministry people.I'm going to miss Bro Roy's 'Strategy for living' lessons!Last lesson with him today.
Afternoon outreach was a GREAT SUCESS!!!!! It was really by God's grace,I prayed with a lot of passion and faith when Jidi asked me to pray for the media team (sound,GP) and listed out all the problems that the sound crew and GP had and really prayed against all those problems.Looky then,today's afternoon outreach was a lot better than the last 3 weeks!Accept for very very little flicks.I did keep my eyes peeled today.Praise the Lord!
Next week's gonna be a rush since service is at expo hall 2 instead of CCK,so region 2 and everyone on duty has to rush insanely back to CCK to prepare for afternoon outreach.But yeap,PRAISE THE LORD!
Birthday gifts to be issued today to Jerina and Rachel Dass.Rachel was a litte uncomfortable waiting for her gift since I keep asking her to close her eyes whenever I wanted someone to write a nice message for her.But I really put in a lot of effort into her gift as I wrote and designed around 8-10 pages of A5 paper,and every page had an encouragement or something to smile about.The card showed a lot of love.Or should I say,BOOKLET.I handed it to her saying 'Happy birthday love!' in the friendship way (:
After she finished reading the card,her reaction was A LOT more than I expected.I expected maybe a 'Thank you,it's really nice of you!' but NOPE,she couldn't stop saying 'I love you!','Thank you so much!','I love you Gin Ming!','This is the best and most awesome card I've ever received!'.And yeah,what's more,it comes with hugs!^^...I didn't know my gift was THAT impacting,but I'm really glad she loved it,and I'm sure it would be a blessing unto her(: Recently for all my gifts I want to bring across this at least:
God loves you.We love you.I love you.
I gave Jerina a photoframe of lots of tiny and meaningful messages written by the most of us.She didn't open the gift infront of me so I don't know what she thinks of it yet,but when I handed her the gift I said:
'JERINAAAAAA!Hey this is your gift for your birthday,happy birthday to you and I want to let you know that I really think you're special,and I love you a lot!Happy Birthday!'
I practically jumped infront of her and THEN yelled 'JERINAAAAA!!!' Shows how high I am.But yea we're going into a series of blessing and the speakers who spoke about blessings have all touched deep into my heart and pulled out the part of me that LOVES to bless,and made it grow stronger.So I've decided to bless with all I can.First up,I'm going to make it a habit to tell my parents that I love them every night before they go to sleep or at least once a day.I hope they realize that I really mean it when I say 'I love you',though there are some other children that just say 'I love you' and don't mean anything much,but when I say it,99 percent of the time I REALLY MEAN I LOVE YOU.
Dinner,and I met Sis Jane from Region 9/10 and had a nice talk with her about ministries and lots of other meaningful stuff.Another blessing for the day amen?(:
I shall be off to sleep soon!Haha,God bless you all people.
