sick day

it was 7.30 and i heard my cell's ring tone. A friend called asked me if i could rush down to northbrooks by 8.30 to relief teach. i said no. it was too abrupt!! Was not feeling well today. Was still hot. i think i have to see the doctor tmr if this fever doesnt go away.

Anyway, i missed work today. The strenuous activities of cartel would have totally drained me. Decided to go shopping with Shawn instead to get teaching costumes for our prospective jobs in schools, hopefully in the near future. We walked the whole orchard searching for the best prices and we ended up spending even a longer time than we ever expected, no thanks to our fickle mindedness. Put 2 people who keep going " okay la anything" together and this is what you get!! we spent close to 4 hours shopping. 4 HOURS! thats crazy for a guy like me.

In anycase we went to bishan for dinner and had a nice long chat with him. Talked about life, ministry and perhaps our impending A level results doom. But i love catching up with him on nights like this because i never fail to learn something new from him everytime. Final Conclusion of the night : to love god more and to trust in his plans for us.

Kaiwen came along at around 10pm to pass me MJ. We're finally reunited! Still feeling sick now and i still got a teaching to touch up for tmr. Its such an honour to be able to share about the Word of God even though i myself am so much less than perfect. I'm grateful for these opportunities because as i teach, i learn and discover so much more about this God whom i love and have decided to give my life to!

good for you MJ, bad for me

Ah bummer i wasnt feeling well this morning. Got up took medicine went to rest. Skipped ULM in the process. SORRY GUYS!! in any case, i was well enough( after 2 doses of panadol) to get up and go by 2pm!

Went to meet Yongle at his place in Bukit Batok. Nice place. i always thought that area was a slum until i went and saw for the first time today. I was still feeling a teeny weeny bit unwell so i got my panadol pills to travel with me all the way there! stopped by ntuc to get some snacks ( popcorn!) which i seriously shouldn't have eaten.

My sheep got a cool crib. He has an electronic drumset, guitar, pc and everything. Its the ultimate place to hang out and jam with a friend or two. We got down to dota -ing. He taught me how to use Leschrac ( some floating dude) and i was successfully able to subdue my enemy AI by blasting a wide array of colourful beams at them!! It was as though i was a rainbow carebear! Afterwards we sat down and shared a teaching which, thankfully, was meaningful and helpful for the both of us.

Bukit Batok isn't exactly very near for me, but to be able to meet my him and spend quality time together, travelling becomes such a pleasure =) Oh wanted to catch saw2 together but his com wouldn't allow DVDs. Maybe next time!

Went home for dinner with my family( i was late!). Got a call from Kai that Mary Jane( my guitar) is safe and sound! So now i'm blogging to tell the whole wide world that MJ IS FINE and i'm happy =) goodnight.

TODAY

To think that i could forget all about today.

Anyways had work today at 11.30 all the way till 4. Got my first paycheck today. Not exactly the windfall i was expecting. But what you sow is what you reap! Work is tough. i spent the whole time from 2pm onwards wondering if working like that will ever be fruitful for me. But i think this Cartel thing has made me discover so much more about myself and what career i want to pursue in the future. I really love engaging in conversations with people. I delight in their delight. This french couple taught me french today!

Met Aaron after my work. Been awhile since we last met at Orchard. We went to have lunch/ Dinner at Just Acia. Its a cheap place in Dhoby Exchange where they serve asian crusines at considerably low prices. The best part about it is that they supply us with free flow ice cream of any flavour and a wide array of drinks! Our meal cost us 5.90 each. Aaron ordered dory fish which was rather a scam because it was quite a small portion. Nevertheless we enjoyed a laugh or two and numerous root beer floats and cookies and cream icecream. We ate until we almost died! Sent aaron off to work at orchard. He was telling me all the retarded stuff that he does at his job and the costume he has to put on to go to work. It was seriously funny. Imagine bright yellow shirt with 3/4 sleeves. Look like some samurai!

Realised how much i missed talking to him. Time flies. Soon he might be moving on to Poly but honestly i'm gonna miss having him around.

Oh visited YJCG on thursday too. Well not actually a visit considering i led worhsip and had a teaching. Shared to the people about Substitutionary atonement. I've talk to my sheeps about this countless of times and i thank god for the lesson in ULM because it helped me share this once again in a very refreshing manner, both for the people( hopefully if they were listening) and for myself. This has happened so that we can share the gospel with more zeal and passion, now that we have understood the true significance behind the death of JC and our salvation. I happened overhear Sharon sharing to canice about how YJ23 is possible if we trusted God and worked hard together. Thank God for this care group!

hello world

good evening world. seems as though im so much busier now than i was during my exams =D. well having said that, here's a short update of what i have been doing.

1. Work at Cafe Cartel in PS = this one is killer. money is hard to earn. i dont exactly think its legal to pay me so little but oh wells. i'm a leisure worker =) my hours are rather flexi as and when i like but i really wanna find something else more enriching soon.

2. Ministry = meeting my sheeps after work, going for care groups, spending time with my family. a very important part of me.

3. Exercise = played HPL soccer recently. have been trying to do small weights but i'm still the same old easy-to-shatter glass man that i have always been.

yep so thats it. not exactly the ideal HIGH LIFE that i always longed for after leaving school. but hey, it beats doing homework on a sunday night =)

im starting to feel edgy over tmr. my friend is coming. but more potential problems are to be faced real soon. i only got 2 hands, there seems to be only so much i can do. but i want to win.

I commit re-engineering and all my plans into Your hands.
