Busy yet Exciting!
my day started at 630am in the morning today.. ok if u think that's early... well actually the sun is already out at that time loh... it looks like about 8am in the morning.. anyways yeah got up at 630am, washed up and then went to pick up David first then Khai Mun and his 2 other friends, Aaron and Fiona for rock climbing at Kangaroo Pt..
Rock Climbing
well I took them sorta for a spin cos I couldn't find the entrance to the carpark at the bottom of the cliffs, so it took us about a good half hour plus to finally find the place and get started! =) the rock face is very nice... its really natural rock wall so it felt exciting.. but it was really cold in the morning and I was kinda shivering.. hehehe.. =) anyways met the rest of the discovery group already there and climbing... they're all pretty good, though there were some that were also beginners... so it was a good mix.. there was about 10 ppl today... when it was my turn to try to climb the wall, I got stuck man!! it was so tough.. I had problems trying to lean into the wall.. was up until about 4m up then was stuck at a point where I couldn't reach the next hold.. was so tired, so gave up after hanging there for about 20mins.. let others have a go.. the group had set up 2 climb points, and i had the easier one.. took some photos so u can see for yourself..
Mun was the pro man.. he finished my course in like 5mins, and finished the more difficult one in 10mins.. hahhaha...
even so after the climb, my fingers were numb, my toes were also numb cos they were squashed in mun's really small climbing shoe... I took some photos of the climb, will post them up when they're ready! =)
Internationals
after rock climbing, went home for a shower and a quick lunch before heading off to church for internationals and jamming! the jamming session was good... getting the hang of playing good drums again.. too long never touch drums already lah... must play more to familiarise.. and I need a lot more practise.. hehehe.. =) after jamming they started the rehearsals for tonight's service, and vania, charmaine and myself went to buy some food for the team... anyways today was the Easter service and we were like all supposed to dress up, sorta semi-formal kind of thing, cos its the American Tradition and we were going along with that.. =) so everybody turned up in like dresses for the girls and shirt/tie for the guys... and we had some small games and stuff... won a big easter egg.. hahaha.. =) Jack shared an awesome message and there was awesome food!! Josephine and team really did a good job with the food.. hehehe yumyum.... also took some photos... and must get photos from vania and milton too.. hehehe..
Potluck
After internationals then headed to nicholas' house and that's where I am now.. using eileen's laptop to blog now.. they had potluck today and I met them later after the service... although food was not very warm, but it was still good... esp the curry chicken... yumyum. hahaha! =) pigging out man! but i had my exercise today.. from climbing!! hahahaaha.. yeah anyways i'm gonna go home soon, cos I'm really pooped out... need to get rest for tom's service too... the rest of my hsemates are all busy having LAN party.. hehehe.. the attractions of warcraft...
Ok i apologise for the super super long blog.. but that's my day.. packed right?!? hehehe.. ok have a Blessed Easter!!
