yesterday was an... EVENTFUL day(: hahah TYVM MAXINE.

me and hilary decided to go to mgs to surprise maxine! you know, as a belated birthday thing since we didnt go on the actual day. yes, i know we're such SWEET and THOUGHTFUL friends, right maxine?(:

WHOA. who knew it would rain ystd. and i happen to NEVER bring an umbrella. so as a result, i got soaking wet. plus! i asked yirong abt the equitorial busstop. and we just so happened to be talking abt different busstops! and so i had to WALK IN THE RAIN to the right busstop. MORE soaking wet(:

finally finally met behlary there. but we were SO behind schedule. so we just had to let maxine in on the surprise, no choice): and it turns out! that she didnt read our smses asking her to stay in sch. and she alrd left by the time we reached!

so aunty jan came to fetch us [lemme remind you that we were both wet and cold] and we took a car ride [thankssssssss] before coming back to mgs. because maxine wanted to "show us off" to her friends! hahah. who were all really cute, espcially LYNETTE!:D

and then we decided to go to the acsi EXODUS concert/worship thing that night!

wheee so we went back to holland v, via MERCEDES CAB(: with a very friendly uncle laughing at our convo. cos maxine was asking him "is the horfun nice?" then he said yes. and maxine said "does it taste like...horfun?" and i replied "no it tastes like charkwayteow" HAHAH.

so we ate then went back to maxine's house. bathed and went through maxine's wardrobe. hahahah. and then we went to lynette's house to eat dinner!

lynette's mum btw, has this HORRIBLE impression of maxine. and maxine couldnt use chopsticks! still GEHKIANG try to use. in the end lynette's mum had to give her fork and spoon HAHAH. and since last time lynette's mum said maxine ate like a dog, maxine decided to eat veryveryVERY slowly ystd. sighhhh.

then we went to exodus! which was really fun! though not at first(: and i saw ______ and _____. hahahah was quite amusing actually(: too bad we didnt see benhooi or smth): at first it was abit...LOUD. and the songs they sang were abit... i dont know lah. but it didnt seem right to worship with those type of songs. even though the lead singer was very funny(:

then there was this truthmin band. who were like older adults. and they sang welcome to my life and bad day. i thought it was just kinda inappropriate. but after that they sang better songs. more decent i guess. and they showed the lifehouse skit video which i LOVE so much(: hahah hilary was super touched!

then sonic edge came on! who were the best, if you ask me. but ohmyyy the music was chao LOUD. and we were in the 2nd row, thanks to me(: but it was really good lah, worshipping God. like just giving everything to Him. surrender it all man(:

and that night, i decided to make a change in my life. hahah sounds very dramatic and all. but! i think the most major change i need to make, i think i said this before, is LOVE.

i always thought, oh must love them so they know i'm christian and they might want to be christians.

but last night, i realised that it's only half correct. because i forgot the most impt part! which is to love them USING CHRIST'S LOVE. i mean, obviously with this heart of mine, it's quite impossible to love certain people right!

so i have to love them LIKE CHRIST FIRST LOVED US. God probably found me annoying too! hahah but He still loved me nonetheless. and so, the love we show should be CHRIST'S. i think it sounds kinda weird, but when you think abt it, it makes sense(:

yeah the worship was really good. i actually cried, which was unexpected at the beginning hehh(: and people were kneeling. which was good too!:D

oh and i forgot to mention that i taught hilary helpful local/singlish phrases ystd! haha i'm not gonna attempt to make her speak lousy english like me(: i taught her:

sok = crazy

sotong = squid

paikia = bad kid

pai = bad

hiam = spicy/hot

seh = cool [HAHAH ZEST]

heeheee:D i'm a good teacher yes hilary!

ATTEMPTED to go out today! because hilary wanted to eat kfc. hahahahahah.

so we decided to meet at dhobyghaut [however you say it hilary!] i was the earliest! which is a HUGE surprise(: so i waited around and attempted to look for the kfc. because hilary was convinced that there was one in the station.

looked and looked. called maxine and attempted to look for her! but it turns out we were at diff entrances so i just wasted my time wandering around the station. then hilary calls us from her TAXI and after much much much confusion, we're told that it's the one in plaza sing. i was like ?!?!?!!!?!?!?!??!!!!

in the end we ate behlary's cheese fries and left. hahaha. and we ran trains! whooooo hahah got me out of my stoniness(: then we went for worship!

really good worship as usual(: yayyyyy i love worship!

then we had a message on eagles vs turkeys. are you the one that says "it cant be done!" or says "how can it be done?" trust in your limitations or trust in God's power? hahah pastor adrian was funnyyy. and i agree with maxine, his messages are getting better!

then we had worship again, and altar call. which was in relation to the exodus thing ystd! abt surrendering yourself FULLY to God(: knelt at the altar again and just really gave my all. let Him fill me. i really hope it changes my life and that it's not some weekend high thing(:

it's 1 now and i just helped mummy do a powerpoint for tmr's kool club(: now i am chao sleepyyyyyy...

there's a rusty russell session tmr. that i am really torn abt. on one hand, i want to go and see what God has in store for me, i mean it's a good opportunity. but on the other, i'm really scared i end up trusting rusty russell more than the Bible. cos i've nv heard him speak before. and i'm scared i'll fail the test of faith. so....

i guess i'll go lah. i mean, running away from the test is no better than failing right?(:
