Feels like a long long day...
hehehe.. somehow everyday feels long don't u think??? well that kinda shows I THINK i'm making pretty much full use of the time that I have left in Singapore.. hehehe.. can't believe that I'm actually gonna ORD in a month's time... and I'm also gonna leave the country for my degree... its really unbelieveable... in the blink of an eye, from poly freshman to graduate, from student to army personnel, from blur RECRUIT to commissioned officer, from young junior officer to established not so junior officer, from officer to ORD... man its been a real trip man!!! and now soon to embark on another journey... its exciting man!!
anyways I didn't go for 8am service this morning.. well mainly cos if I went I would only have gotten 3 hrs of sleep.. dun be deceived by the blog time yesterday, I actually only wrote that entry at 230am... but changed the date to be reflective of the day i'm talking about.. =) anyways yeah and I would be pretty much zombified during service, so I decided against it and went for 1030am service with my parents... today Rev Raymond Mooi, founder and principal of School Of Acts came and shared for our Mission Faith Pledge sunday... for those of you who don't know, that's an A/G program to challenge us to pledge a certain amount of money each month to the service of missions programs all over.. anyway he shared a pretty long message on us being the LIGHT of the world, that we got to let our LIGHT shine and that the candlestick makes the light effective and we got to make use of every opportunity, every chance to make our Light SHINE for CHRIST!!
the message was long... ended service about 130pm... then we headed off to the midpoint orchard food court... when we were there, then I was reminded about the $7.50 sushi buffet!!!! seeing it was cheap, and I probably won't go for another sushi buffet anytime soon.. I got Kelvin to eat with me.. hehehe... both of us having the larger-than-other-peoples appetites, we whacked man... later those that came by bus came in.. and most of them joined in too.. so we had Kelvin, myself, Benson, Cecilia and Raj, Abigail, Josiah and Jeremiah all having the buffet, leaving Youxin, Amy, Samuel, Amos and Cassandra having the normal foodcourt lunch... hehehe... the spread was alright... enough for u to be full once you've tried everything...
after that I found out that I was playing for 5pm.. so after roaming in Robinson's for a bit, sat in Amy's car to go back to church first.. =) Ps Raymond also shared again in this service... but surprisingly he shared the exact same message as this morning!! yeah so me and Amy were writing little notes to each other throughout the service.. cannot talk mah.. hehehe... we were both kinda bored and sleepy... hahaha.. that's young people for u... yeah then after the service had a drink with Raju, Cass, Amos, Amy, Michelle, Rebecca and Justin Garnell. Yep rebecca is michelle's sister.. back from perth.. after a long long long time.. i think anyway.. then Justin came down to church to see rebecca.. long time never see him too... only met up with his father the last time I was at New Creation...
then Amy sent me back home... thanks sis!!! you are really appreciated, though I think your monkey doesn't feel so.. hahaha!! I'll see u more again in Aus anyway!!! we can go driving to Gold Coast to tan.. hahaha!! if I can get $$ to get a car.. hahaha.. u provide?!?! kekeke.. ok lah.. tomorrow's another long day.. but GOOD!! going to SENTOSA!!! then got Maths lesson at night... ok then!! till tomorrow!! gdnite!!! =)
