wild wild wet!

God really works wonders.

It rained on Monday. It rained on Tuesday. And praise God that yesterday when the few of us wanted to go to wild wild wet, God held the rain for us. The whole day was so warm and the sun shone brightly in the sky. Yeah it was great.

Ok, our plan yesterday was this. We were all supposed to meet at ps and call ewen who was working somewhere at the east to see if it was going to rain. So if it was going to rain, ewen was supposed to come down and watch a movie with us if not we would go to pasir ris, to wild wild wet. But yeah, in the end, Ewen ended work earlier so he came down. And we ended up staring at the clouds, while eating ice cream, to see if it would rain. But that didn't really help cos half the sky look great while the other half looked threatening. So I checked with my dad who worked in the east to check the weather condition. When given the thumbs up, we made our way down to pasir ris. And were supposed to meet Mag there at 2.30

Ok so like we reached there quite quickly but had to wait like forever for mag. for some reason she left school only at 2. and at 3 we couldn't take it anymore so we made our way to wild wild wet first. Ewen waited for Mag and then they came down not long after. Delicia, Gerald and I started to get cranky and so we bought chocolates. Haha. Ok we had to wait for mag cos supposedly she had some discount. But in the end only Mag, Cher, Gloria and Xin Wei got it la.. So Delicia, Ewen, Nicholas, Gerald and I had to pay full price. So we got ourselves a card and we just entered wild wild wet. Not knowing why the other 4 had to go to the toilet outside. Ok so the five of us changed and went swimming.

I expected much more from wild wild wet but yeah. Got kinda disappointed initially. But with friends, it made everything much more fun. Shall not elaborate on the rides. But seriously, you must go there with a big big big group of really fun and whacky friends like mine. And you'll seriously enjoy yourself. And go for the whole day. Don't be like us. Go so late then forced to leave at 7. haha.

Yeah so thank God so so so much for blessing us with such great weather. He could have just let it continue raining but no, He held the rain for us. And today it's starting to pour. Yeah. It really works wonders.

Sigh

It pains my heart, knowing I can never bring myself to say it. That I've to keep this a secret.

And yet if I ever do say it, I'll have to kill myself.

Why is life so so unfair?

Stupid, why does my heart hurt so bad?

Will you ever stop and ask me why I'm in this state? To rescue me as I fall in this bottomless pit, just because I can't share this. Or will I always be falling until the day I admit my heart's desires.

Do you even care?

Is there any way I can forget who you are?

Praise God

Today we had an evaluation after sunday school. For all those who went for mission trip. Ok basically, there was a bit of sharing on what we did and how we felt after certain events.

And then it came to the topic on the typhoon. Ok just to let those who don't know. On the 8th Dec, a friday, there were typhoon and terrorists warnings. So ya. Parents started to panic and teachers were trying their best to get us out of Cebu in case of anything. And at that point of time when all of us were informed, we learnt that the typhoon was coming our way.

So it came as a shock to most of us. Some started fearing the worst. But it was at that point of time when you can actually see everyone at their best behavior. Everyone was given instructions to pack a overnight bag in case we had to run and pack everything, ready to go. Our overnight bag had clothes and toiletries la. We placed all our food supplies altogether. (that wasn't much la. Not say we had a lot of food there). We also started filling up all the water bottles we had. The 6 litres ones and every other water bottle we had.

But even though there was a pinch of fear in everyone. Basically we were still quite optimistic about the whole thing. Almost everyone was wearing their new caps and packed in their new clothes because they feared they would never get to wear it again. Like yeah, that's kinda retarded la. So ya. To tell you the truth, we weren't that scared.

But today is when I discovered that over at the Luoyuan side, they were panicking for us. Ok a few of them told me before la. But today it was like enforced. And it's kind of nice to know that even over there, there were people caring for us. Worried for us.

And like what someone shared(I shall not say who), there's really power in prayer. With all the prayers from three countries. The typhoon actually 'u-turned' just as it came closer and closer to us.

God really cares for us. And I must say I'm really grateful for that. Even though I really wanted to see the typhoon. It's also very nice to know that God works in such ways. To make sure that no matter what, we ALL return in one piece..

Thank God.

ps: If you want to know the story on how we got the tickets, just ask me. Cos it's really a very nice story. Yeah.

Funny videos

Ok, I wanted to blog about Cebu but I guess I'll just do that another day.

I was looking through my pictures and videos just now when I chanced upon the pictures taken in intermediate camp. Truly time flies. It was like half a year ago when the camp took place and almost a year since I told myself I wanted to have the intermediate camp. Yet it seems like only yesterday did I come home from the camp.

I remembered the tough nights I had before the camp and all. This is one thing that I'm truly proud of the whole level for doing. I'm glad that even though we didn't really do a perfect job planning, that the camp still went through. All the nights when I just felt like crying, cos I was informed that many things were not done, was all worth it. Even though the camp would have been much better if I didn't recieve such phone calls

Yeah we didn't exactly get very nice numbers. But it was just the company of those who were there. The crazy things we did to entertain ourselves. Basically God really helped us through. Seriously, if the sec one camp was planned the way we did intermediate camp, we are bound to get into trouble. I'm going to honestly say that I thought that planning could have been much better. But ya.

If ever given the chance. I would gladly plan another camp. But time is not on my side. I should stop being too ambitious. Not good for me.

Anyway, these are some links to the videos.

Yeah that's all I have for now.

and I'm back!

I'M BACK FROM CEBU

and I really miss that place like crazy.

I've many stories to share. But maybe I'll do that later.

I'm glad to have made many many new friends. To be able to touch the lives of many.

So as for now, this is all I have to say. Stay tune to find out more of what happened in the trip!

She's back

Hip Hip Hooray

Horrors of horrors

Santa Claus is coming to town

PAMELA is in town

Yes, my poot of a cousin is in Singapore again. And the way I found out was the weirdest. I got out of the car and there she was screaming hi. And after all the thousand and one hair jobs she did, she finally settled for black hair. Like how her hair was originally. Dunno why she bothered trying so many other different shades. Most of them didn't work out for her anyway.

Ok la. It's not really that horrible for her to be back la. But trust me. She can really disrupt peace once she gets hyper. Pam (the poot) if you ever read this, then all the more you shouldn't disturb your oh so great cousin. And make me do such horrible things. And now that you're back, you better go to Mama's house early and help her cook. Later she not happy

---

Ok shall not talk about her anymore. Oh I can't wait. I'm going to CEBU in like 3 days? But as usual I haven't started packing. When will I ever learn that I should start packing a few days before. So that I can buy anything I require.

CEBU is going to be oh oh so fun!
