Beautiful Awakening!

Did I mention, last Tuesday, being the last day of
what's left of school, had been a real rollarcoaster ride.
So this is definitely a looooong about Tuesday post.
First up, upon arrival from being a lil' late for school,
I hear about how I'm not in the same class as Lynette,
Kyna, Shuxian and Regina! What?!
Great, so my class' at M2-2, (that's kinda good well
cause, the cafe's just beside so we can go grab a bite
anytime right! hahaha) Okay, it's not so bad afterall
cause they're just next door.
Let's move on to a disastrous lunch preparation at
Lynette's. Kyna, Shuxian and I crashed at Lynette's to
kill time before OGL meeting, so we played Wii.
HAHA the most hilarious thing was the game where
we had to spot the difference - we were given 3
characters, 1 off colour, 2 the same (R! alert) Well,
obviously, it's nothing to do with anything that sort
but I had really no idea and time was running out and
I didn't want to lose to Kyna so I randomly clicked the
off-colour one, Bull's eye! It was sooo random. The
answer was to look at the person whose footwork
is the odd-one-out, see, there's always another way of
figuring out.
Right, so Regina came over. She bought Maggi Mee and eggs,
she's gonna cook lunch for all of us. During lunch, we were
kinda deliberating whether to go meeting, or not. Anyways,
we decided to and Shuxian and I brought all the utensils
to the kitchen and mass wash them. Guides do the trick.
Heh. We went downstairs and stoppped 2 taxis, both
waved us off because they really couldn't afford to offend
the authories to ferry 5 people, know. How law abiding.
OKAY I'll stop the tone. Regina and I hopped on one and
the rest said they would another. As expected (LOL),
Kyna texted Regina to say they'll meet us directly at
Eastcoast. Great, it's super embarrassing cause we were
like 20 minutes late for the meeting. We broke up into
our groups and my leader's just wow. SR really has some
decent number of very, very interesting people.
Went to lijiang meeting, I requested that my group be
first, but couldn't. So after the first very long and
impressively well-spoken presentation, Tricia and I
asked Mr Tan KK ad he finally relented.
So, I met the other 3 for Eastcoast. We were playing
cards on the bus and we taught Shu and Kyna bridge.
3 classmates called us, asking us to buy butter.
Funny, just walk to 7eleven up ahead, cause we thought
it's that area. We rented bikes and it's for 2 hours only.
We found out that it's really damn far.
Cheryl's leaving for Melbourne soon, Mrs Oh bought a
cake and we wished her well.
When everyone left, 4 of us continued playing bridge
and only returned the bikes at 10.30, 2 hours past the
allotted time. To our horror, the shutters were down
and shit? The shop was closed. Just great, we
panicked cause there wasn't any place to return the bikes
and none of us really wanted to ton over just to babysit
the bicycles. In the end, we talked to the Macdonalds'
manager and the staff were so, so kind to help us. We
followed him to the store at the back and then my parents
came to fetch all of us back, Kyna's fetched her back.
Now, wasn't that one heck of a day?
Well, the next morning at 9am, Shu, Dad and I came back
to return the bikes. The shopkeeper came and made lotsa
noise about it. Quoted from Dad "it's all about who can
tell the better lie" HAHA, totally. Initially, we had to pay
surcharge 20 plus overnight and all, so each bike may
amount to 40 odd, with Dad's eloquence, we paid none.
Heh, it's our fault, definitely but it's not like they didn't
lie about waiting us up til 11! hahaha, we rock.
I have a video of Dad riding 2 bikes simultaneously,
I'm still pretty amazed by it.

The voice within tells of the impossible,
the mind works the possible,
the heart does it all.
In his time.
Condolences to the family of the hostage.
My Lord, forgive them for they do not know what they do.

ps: My X'mas tree's up, so are my decos!

The Water Underneath

Tomorrow is not a promise; but a chance.

Psalm 105:4-5 (NIV)
"Look To The Lord And His Strength;
Seek His Face Always.
Remember The Wonders He Has Done."

1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at the outward apperance, but the Lord looks
at the heart."

1 Corinthians 15:19 (NIV)
"If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are
to be pitied more than all men."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13
"Love is patient and kind;
it is not jealous or conceited or proud;
love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritatable;
love does not keep a record of wrongs
love is not happy with evil,
but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up;
and its faith, hope and patience never fail."
"Meanwhile these three remain:
faith, hope and love;
and the greatest of these is love."
