A long overdue post on the havoc on Daniel's birthday for CE :D

On that day itself, our unit was in charge of the decor so we bought the materials in the morning, by walking through carrefour, spotlight and Daiso, spending a few hours looking for all the totally RANDOM STUFF that we could find to decorate America room. It was quite hilarious with the sparkly streams which people use for christmas coz we found them in all colours and shades, even pink and purple! x.x Haha personally, i thot it would fit sf no.1 v well :D :P

After service, it was pure havoc! :P Everyone was writing/cutting/designing/slacking and doing random stuff to the materials in whatever way we could to make the room look nice and when we got into the room, everything went at top speed lol! There was a lot of noise and shouting for scotchtape, where to hang banners, where to paste this and that! The best part was everyone was so gan chiong coz every that could go missing went missing. Some of the alphabets for the happy birthday balloons popped which lead a lot of distress and squealing(from uhhh...) and Cut cake quite designing new alphabet balloons :P We even forgot to paste the carefully cut out letters for "Daniel" at the LAST minute, which lead to Sotong screaming/wailing(?) in her high pitch sop voice, which made Tracy all the more ganchiong! It was just really funny coz we ended up laughing at ourselves :P The balloons kept needed YS to put them back and again. But in the end everything was GREAT! YAY!!! Thank GOD! :D

MCG was yesterday at East Coast and this must be the HIGHLIGHT of my hols atm :). Despite the early shower in the morning, we went there and God blessed us with SUNNY WEATHER :D The afternoon was beautiful and we played games that the 4 organisers painstakingly planned :P Kudos to Tracy, Leon, XT and Fungg :)

Complicated catching was... errr complicated. It involved a food chain kind of catching with planning and strategies to take off as many lives as possible from the opposing team. I was errr just stoning arnd letting pple catch me and watched mixed reactions :P Until i started running... which was a mistake coz i ended up running from one boundary to the other and back again x.x Coz they kept chasing me to the sea larh!!

The second game was dodgeball kind of game with waterbombs. It was something like paintball style where you have to dig up sweets instead of capture the flag. And if you get hit by a waterbomb you had to get back to base. This was quite fun actually :P coz we got wet(a little) and it was fun running up and down, dodging bombs and frantically digging up sweets x.x :P

Lastly, we had a tug-of-war which was hilarious although it went wrong :P But we had a good laugh! It was made out of raffia and before we even put in strength to pull it broke! :D And I remember the back of my group were still running with the string LOL! :P But it was reallie fun and enjoyable thanks to this caregroup that God blessed me with :D

Immediately after that, the dunking started :P I dragged Sam into the water first, then Jx followed shortly after, and v soon all the guys ended up dripping wet :P or more or less all :P Even poor Leonzy got dragged in :P. We all ended up splashing in the sea for quite some time before we went up to shore.

After that, Sam and some others went biking while me, Robert and Yan Shao dropped by this rock by the beach overlooking the sea. It was beautiful with the sun edging ever slowly towards the other horizon, as i played on the guitar. It was just peaceful and it truly reminded me of God's greatness. He created all these! The vast oceans, the sun, the sky, everyone a beauty and creation of our everloving father!! We're one of his creations as well, beautiful in His eye :) and i almost felt that He created that moment, that place and that time just for me to shut out everything and focus on this peace. It was almost like He wanted to show me something and i could feel Him so tangibly :)

The BBQ at night was really yummy and fun, coz we were all cooking and making a lot of noise in the process, flipping chicken wings, patties, Otah and all the other food articles which were brought along. It was great, seeing more people come to join us like Eugene, HY and Yongsheng:P The Patties are still the best :P We talked and sang and played, in the blink of an eye it was 1030 O.O!

Haha after going to the wrong bus stop, i just took another bus back to PS with the rest and i finally reached home at 12 plus x.x.

This lead to today's training becoming a true test of perseverance with the exhaustion setting in almost immediately and the drowsiness. The epidemic also seemed to have finally reached me...

But its all worth it i guess and God really showed me, how He'll provide for me and told me why He said those things at Encounter half a year ago. I understand now, Lord :) Those words as vividly as yesterday. Living for YOU!
