♥ Two very eventful days
DISCLAIMER: Long post ahead. Read at your own risk. To help, important things in RED.
1) Selection Camp, 29/10
Yes, yes. Selection camp. I want to be a JPSL next year, I've wanted to for very long. It's safe to say that Z is my motivation behind this desire. I really really want to be like her, and I really really really care a lot for the people, for my friends, for the Sec1s. I may have posted this before. I come to school wanting to make an impact on other people, wanting to touch their lives in one way or another. It really hurts me to see someone hurt, because I care. I want to find a need and meet it, find a hurt and heal it. I hope I won't be disappointed if I don't get in, because I really want to. I'm trying to let myself understand that even if I don't get the job, I can still help my friends. I can still show them that I care, and that is really what I've been doing for some time already this year.
But yes, let me not sidetrack. So we had all the boring stuff, introductions and all, guess what: Xiaohan was my facil ><
They scolded us so much. Really. Ahh :O It was quite horrible, all that scolding. Laura was one of the worst. (Tu) was almost as bad. And the worst thing is everything they said was true. We had bad teamwork and all. They made it sound worse that it did, though. But I learnt a lot..I learnt that: I talk a lot, and should stop interrupting others. I should take time to slow down, listen, and make sure that everyone is all right. I also didn't manage to learn the cheer well, and I know it's very much my fault. Laura kept scolding us for it, and I really do feel guilty for not being able to get it. There are no excuses for that I think..and the more they scolded me, the more frantic I get. Which is bad. But yes the screaming at us part was just horrible, but the takeaways was great. It was fun getting to know others as well.
2) Everything after that, 29/10
So, tennis. Pfft. I was already tired. NOT FAIR. Hahaha. I went late for it, so I only had about two hours. It was really fun though! Whoo I love tennis despite sucking at it XD uh yeah it went quite well...other than the fact Jenn fell down and started crying halfway :( I need to call her soon to see if she's doing all right. Heard she hasn't been the best. Hope she's all right. Really want to help her. According to my sis she's been crying quite often and Jenn I just want you to know I'm praying for you, that you'll understand what's best for you, that you'll really grow to be more maturing and understanding, that your family as well will grow to understand you, and most importantly I pray you'll be happy. Yup and then their mum cooked for us and blah blah blah and it was quite fun but she kept making me eat so much 'cos she heard of how much I ate last Friday. I fell asleep on their couch [it was comfy!] and my sis had to wake me up and make me walk, half-asleep and all, back to the car and home. I fell asleep once I got home - the day was tiring - without changing, calling anlynn and doing qt :( Will make up for it tonight!
3) Halloween, 30/10
HALLOWEEN WAS JUST AWESOME AHH I LOVE W445 I LOVE THE CELL I LOVE EVERYONE IN IT AHH I LOVE THE PEOPLE THERE. This family is one I hope I'll never leave. I don't understand it, but I know that I love this place where we are as one, together.
{Psalm 26:8} LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
I can't remember the song, but it was something like "I love Your house,/It's where Your glory dwells./I love Your house,/A place of miracles." It was playing all the time on Friday when I was feeling so stressed and so down. I love that song ah I love Your house. I realize Your house isn't about the church, but simply about where His presence is. And where is His presence?
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.
This is why. This is why I love this place. I love Your house :D
Oh-no-I-sidetracked-so-much-okay-let's-go-on!! Yup so Halloween. I was dressed as a king, with a bathrobe that was red and it was quite cool and yeap. They used eyeliner to draw me my mustache and beard :P HAVE TO UPLOAD PHOTOS SOON. Costumes were great. Chelsea and Winnie were SO COOL. Chelsea's a mime and Winnie my ghost queen. Krystle Anlynn and a few more were quite nice haha. Can't describe too sleepy alr will wait for photos! YAYYY! Cell was quite good, it went well..missed quite a number of them this week haven't been talking to them much ahh feels great to be with them! Did offering..was shaking the whole time wayyy too nervous [uh Krystle noticed oops!] wasn't really sure if I'd do well and I forgot to print it until this morning and a lot other delays hahaha. Hope I did well though..
Halloween itself was great too. It was raining at first so we ate first...then somewhere about 6PM it stopped. [PTL!] I'm a station mistress, so I spent quite some time in boredom haha while waiting for the people to come. I'm supposed to be a SLEEPY king, so I was 'sleeping' before they came and pretending to sleep is one boring task, let me tell you first. And my station was the baby food game [choose three items, mix all up, eat]. Easy? Ajay's was the best HAHAHA peanut butter + water + orange whoo! Super funny haha in the beginning they tried to throw it away but I gave them more XD Krystle's group [Ambrose eating] was great too haha they added all five by themselves. Own man ownage (Y)
So many new friends came! Whoo!~There were A LOT PEOPLE. Yay. It's a good thing. Getting closer and closer to our 60-80 target we set in the beginning of the year! Whoo! Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing and never give up w445 we can do it!
4) Everything after that, 30/10
Lalala. Went for dinner with family, was really great. Then we went to NTUC ahh haven't gone to a supermarket together in ages! Still remember the lemongrass/cold storage times when we'll go down and buy so much snacks hehhee. They were fun, today was fun. I think I've got the best family ever. And now it's about to be 1AM so I really should go do QT then sleep! YAY THESE TWO DAYS HAVE BEEN GREAT.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW EITHER I KNOW IT'LL BE GREAT. I LOVE MY LIFE I LOVE MY FAMILY I LOVE W445 I LOVE GOD I LOVE SERVING HIM I LOVE EVERYTHING! I THINK I'M SO BLESSED..THAT NO MATTER WHAT TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS COME MY WAY I'LL KNOW THAT MY GOD IS SOVEREIGN, THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS WITH HIS PERMISSION. AND I HAVE FAITH THAT NEXT YEAR WILL BE AWESOME! I LOVE THIS PLACE I LOVE HIS HOUSE I LOVE MY LIFEEEE!!
