recent events

wow. the holidays are really zooming by.

some recent events.

jon choy's birthday (haha, k, maybe not so recent)

this was really funny.
as in not the party itself, but the nature of how i actually managed to be there.
see, cos i was actually supposed to be in a camp.
and i thought there was no hope, cos once in the camp i thought i was gonna miss choy's birthday for sure.

then i somehow just asked my teacher if i could be excused.
then he contemplated and said yes, but gave a curfew (so i was excused for a few hours).
i was delighted.
ten minutes later i was crying.
because due to the rain, my teacher changed his mind, and i got all my hopes up for nothing, and i was sad lah.
NO i didn't cry in front of everyone.
but i was just darn sad cos it's like, eh, my cell leader's 21st bday man.

and then after i wiped up my tears and joined the rest, my teacher came up behind me and said - "if you can get someone to fetch you, then i'll let you go. if not, forget it lah, huh?"
so i decided to call my mum just in case she was nearby.
she was at home, but offered to take me!!!
Praise God for mummy.

and 40 mins later, i'm at choy's hse, in singlet, cap and slippers :P
cool right.


nong!!

nong came back!!!
we had dinner and a stayover.
nong left back to usa.


family trip
(wow i nearly forgot this)

we went to malaysia, port dickson!! :D
it was fun, my first attempt at fishing and neaarrlly caught a crab.
we went go-karting, archery, paintball, jalan-jalan, pool (ball), pool (swim), all sorts of fun stuff. not so much like tourists, but just for fun.

good time of family bonding. (:


sharity gift box (Founder's Men Assessment)

we had 3 consecutive, full, days, of doing quite tiring stuff.

first day i did warehousing and pick-up.
fortunately, last two days we went to man the box at orchard rd, outside taka.
thank martin for his ideas and ways. haha.
it was darn weird lah, people do weird stuff to pass time, which i wanted to go into details but then decided not to. sorry! ;)


THE REAL CAMP.

woohoo, this was really good. no pun.
God gave me revelation, and started doing different things in my life.
God is so good man.
and it also gave me a chance to see how our cluster is growing, and how TNG is growing.
when God told me "TNG is growing", i felt so good. (:

TNG, you're growing man.


official cell gathering

thaddeus, go away. stupid nutcracker.
haha, kidding lah, i don't bear any thing against you. (:

yep, we had an official cell bbq to end of the year.
marcus burnt my arm with a chicken wing. A CHICKEN WING!
thinking about it, i now find the humour stronger than the pain.
i don't think anyone's been burnt by a chicken wing before.
if you have, please tag, i would like to know. :D

and yeah, we had cell sharing and reflection.
the cell was getting everything ironed out, everyone was confessing their wrongs, and dislikes for other cell members in the past, or generally.
and everyone just gracefully accepted the feedback.

jon choy shared about how we had to be in the "pressure-cookers" (like said, at the rhema seminar) because our generation has to rise up fast and grow into leaders, cos' these are the end times. and how he's very encouraged to see our cell growing. (:

sara said she'll always be there, and that we can go to her for girl problems, HAHA. =P

our cell is good man, i love my cell. cool people.
random, whacky and cool.
we're gonna grow. (:


faa

formally known as "Founder's Award Assessment".
we were tested on adventure, first aid, drill, uniform, general knowledge.
scary. had to mug eh.
some-more had cell gathering the previous night.

but it wasn't as bad as i expected.
things went well.
didn't get sent home for uniform. =P

yep. feel liberated now! hahaha.



alright, that's an update.
i'm off to write cards for post-camp people.

...strange, if i recall, this post's tone and language wasn't really like my normal one.
maybe i use more singlish when i'm happier and i talk about shallow-er stuff. =P






i got wild, loose, inside my head.
