urrgh. i promised my dad not to blog NOT on my own accord.
but anyway i promised him already. but im still here.
cause im too enthusiastic to post about serviceeeeeeeeeee! :D:D

okay im gonna skip training yesterday cause it was kinda normal,
besides the part on expecting self training and ending up getting trained by ms loo.
but no big issue, yeah.
everyone left the place perhaps even realising i was still sitting in the sun stoning.
seriously. i didnt feel like going for service.
i'll find myself extra there, anyway.
whats worse is without my sister around for the first part. -.-

okay anyway, i went to the aesthetic's block to get my tee and jeans from my sister's bag.
i dumped my skirt and long lost (now found) blue jacket (thanks to ruddie!) into her bag.
i brought a super small bag, which was a stupid decision.
oh well whatever thats not the main point cause i was late for training and i couldnt find the bigger sling so i couldnt be bothered anymore.

haha. (realise im rushing through everything because i want to go to service part ASAP! :D
and guess what, something is driving me on to go to the service part (besides God. ;o)

bused to harbourfront and changed.
before i knew it i took a dang 25mins to change?
people outside the toilet might think someone fainted in that cubicle i was in. o.o
but anyway i was going to be late for the meetup with the caregroup leader fong yee at somerset! OH SHUCKSSSSSSS.

so i chiong out of the toilet and took mrt and reached somerset around 13mins late. T.T
haha. i was new and i felt paiseh.
but its cause im new thats why they were okay with that.
haha.
ironic. o.o

we walked to this super oolooo building, whatever its called.
its oolooo, but filled with huhuhahis around.
because, the church was there and all you heard was youths chattering the way!
woohoo.
oh, you mean in a building, here is the church my sister was referring to?
i was abit like HUHED over the situation.
but anyway as i walked to the entrance,
there were this two rows of people standing by the door saying "welcome, welcome!"
haha. it sounded like broken tape recorder.
but was heartwarming nevertheless. :D
haha. and i came into the church.!
this guy approached, and fong yee introduced him.
and the guy said "OH YOU'RE YILE!"
and i was quite shocked to see he knew my name.
then he said "aiyah of course i know lah, cause you're 旋风小侦探's sister mah!"
haha. so now i knew my famousness was all because of pohyijia >;(
LOL.

(now this is the part that's driving me on! ;o haha!)
btw, that guy's called yunian and he's shuai! ;o
urrgh. why cant rv have more shuai guy's to satisfy my 眼福.
f1f1.

haha.
anyway another guy called kenny came by.
and then more and more people came.

wait. and i cant remember what exactly happened besides receiving 帅哥巧克力 and MENTOS!:D:D

we went in.
then they started singing to worship God.
hmps. i felt this tight plank of wood to my body.
i was stiffed out.
i didnt sing, cause i didnt know how to.
i didnt dance, cause i was uh-ing on the fact on how do i dance when i dont know the music?
hmps.
i felt a surge of extraness.

okay then we started to pray.
and at the first part of service, i cried;
one of the parts of the prayer said
"God will help you find the courage to tell your parents,
papa mama, i've became a christian."
my tears started to flow.
i dont know of sadness, excitement, happiness, or touchingness.

it was so complicated inside.
i felt God's presence.

i wiped my tears away with fongyee's tissue and haha we started playing this game.
cause we were in an auditorium, we had three columns (like LTs in rv)
each column is suppose to find people who have:
"5 people with the birthday in the same month"
"5 people wearing the same coloured sock"
"4 people who at least have 1 mole on their face"

and rv people, just went for service after cca (like me etc.) ran down,
cause we were all wearing rv socks. meheheeheheh!!!!
and pohyijia fell. gosh so embarrasing. ;o
haha!

they teached about celebration.
one part went
"enter the password: THANK YOU."
this meant if you felt life sucks, today sucks, whatever sucks,
tell God, you're thankful for what He've given you.
big or small things, random things, anything.
everything was given to you from Him.
we should thank Him for everything we have now.
count our blessings, whenever we feel life is being unfair to us.
and you will be amazed by how lucky you've been.

we started counting our blessings, as a church.
as i count, the first one was the feeling that was troubling me right from thurs.
and guess what, i cried again as i said these in my heart:
"thank you God for bringing her as a friend to my life."
"thank you God for helping me find friends in rv when i felt so alone."
"thank you God for bringing me here to service today to experience joy when you're around."
"thank you God for Jesus."
"thank you. thank you. thank you."

my eyes were closed.
and my head was down.
my hands were together.
and i felt my tears drip on my hands.
it was really powerful.
if you were there and you feel,
you felt Him everywhere.
He's always by your side,
He's your best friend.
He'll never forsake you.

because He LOVES YOU.

haha. then we sang songs again.
and i didnt feel the plank on me anymore.
i was swaying.
my hands were high.
i was singing a tune i didnt know.
God led me on.
i sang whatever i felt the next note might be.
i sang with reference to the lyrics.
i could do it.
i could sing a song i've never heard before ever.

because it was to worship the Almighty LORD.
so i sang it. in praise of Him.

:D
and then, the people on stage told us,
if we've never said yes to Jesus, we can do it right at the moment.
at the count of three we raise our hands, and say YES.
i didnt do it at the count of three.
but after people there asked me
"do you want to say YES to Jesus?"
i nodded.
i closed my eyes.
i raised my hands up.
i said YES.

they told us to run down to the stage.
they asked me to run.
i ran.
the people at the alley were clapping, and seeing me run.
i didnt feel ashamed.
i was doing this for God.
i was on the road to accepting Him.

i was smiling.

and for the third time
(gosh this is powerful you will think)
I CRIED AGAIN.
out of touchingness? out of JOY?
everything.
i felt quite complicated.
but anyway i realised everyone was looking at me,
because i ran down, which means i was the first to reach.
my sister and fongyee soon catched up.
gosh, my sister HUGGEDME.
they asked me not to cry.
but i cried anyway.

we were brought into this room called the AFRICAN ROOM.
dont ask me why is it called the african room.
i dont know too.

1. God's words.
2. Caregroup
3. Prayers.
:D

i felt like continuing this post.
but well it'll become anticlimax.
BECAUSE MY PARENTS QUARRELLED LAST NIGHT.
goodness can they seriously get a life for goodness sake.
and where's their JOY?

whatever.
last night (or rather this morning) i woke up 4 times.
to diarrhea,
and i lost 1.5kg. ;o
厕所四部曲.

but i felt joyful anyway.

because He's around. :D
