yeah i'm finally back on my blog!! talk about long ... its definitely been a while.. hope this doesn't become a habit.. =P
anyways let's just backdate..
Wed night moved off at 11pm... didn't sleep until 5+am cos we had planning and doing training... and we only slept until about 8+am.. and we carried on working and doing exercise throughout the night, only until 12am then we cut the exercise and headed back to camp... talk about working with fatigue man!! Even my understudy also wasn't feeling too well.. in the end he caught fever.. 38.9 C man... so he went back to camp...
then came Friday... after sleeping the previous night at around 2am, had to wake up at 7am cos it was the first day of our course and we had to report at 730am at Sch of Arty! The sad thing is they have quite bad sense of timing... it wasn't until about 830am then they started the program and all.. I could have slept for another half hr and still got time go breakfast!!! Yeah, we were all tired out, the 6 from my unit that went for the course... at least it wasn't lessons straight away but more ice breakers and stuff.. so pretty fun. didn't really have to fight Z-monster that bad... =P
Then after Friday's session, I went out to meet my ITASSC friends, cause Ricia and Juliana just came back on Monday, so we all met up for dinner and coffee! Connie wasn't there cos she only came back this morning at about 1am... but everybody else was there.. Steven as usual had something on.. we had a lot of fun catching up and just talking cock... talked until 12am!! then being the chaffeur, i sent whoever i could back home... and only reached home at about 130..
Saturday, and had to wake up at 645am to change and drive to camp for course... today was pretty alright too.. not too much indepth stuff, but still was mind-stirring... and also Z-monster fighting, cos only slept for 4 hrs... =P Then I attended Joanna's wedding.. she's one of my campus crusade friends while I was in poly... so young already get married leh!! she's only one year older than me!!! start to feel old liao.. slowly attending a lot of friend's weddings.. hahaha... it was also good meeting up with the other crusade friends like Cindy, Huimin, Wensi, Jianzhou, Cuiping, Chris, Joshua etc etc etc...
Last but not leastly, I came back to church for Edge!! today's worship was good for me... firstly cause I wasn't playing today due to the wedding!!! so I really enjoyed the worship... gave me a chance to worship God in abandonment, just jumping and singing and praising it was so fun! It's different worshipping as part of the congregation than when you are playing... it's a different focus partly, and you kinda sometimes get focused too much on what you're playing rather than who you're playing for... that's something we need to check ourselves a lot of times.
After service, I stayed back with the worship team to run through the new songs they are going to introduce for their youth camp! Makes me wish I could join them.. or even better! Revive our own youth camp... which we haven't had for more than 7 years already!! =P Then I joined them for dinner too cos it is also Esther's birthday tomorrow!
And finally I'm back home... after sending them back home too... I'm just a good chaffeur.. hahaha! well, I'm gonna crash soon... got duty tomorrow.. but think I'll watch my Harry Potter first.. havent watched the 2nd show yet.. borrowed DVD from my friend... ok then... until tomorrow! ciaoza!!
