27th March

CF today!!! Not friday cause everyone would be busy with Fun-O-Rama prep. It was basically the standard CF with worship and a short devotions.. Just that it was done.. in a classroom! How interesting. The usual, CF was great ^^

Gabriel joined us somewhere around dinner after what seemed like a super tiring day for him.. And I unofficially became his tutor o.O Well, after some chem and bio stuff (I refused to help with Econs =D duh), we went home together in the MRT. Did some catching up with him and he told me all about His JC life and some other interesting stuff

In short, it's yet another testimony showing how God can work =) After such complications regarding application and appeals, God finally put him in CJC and I believe that's where He will grow the most.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

You know, it can be so exasperating how sometimes everything just seems to go wrong for us... We don't get to stay in the place we want to or we have to stay in the place we don't want to. We tend to grumble and such until we really think about our options and it's so amazing how everything is settled when all is left in God's hands. I've learnt this lesson and I'm still learning, but God continues to show me how He works in so many different ways every other day =)

Fun-O-Rama!

The moment I stepped into school, all I saw was people running all over the place.. what a sight. The bouncy castle was sitting at the grass patch, all ready to be inflated. The stalls were being set up little by little. The class popiah stall... didn't really take a look at it. Only saw the popiah skins being prepared then ran off again to the bouncy castle.. only to buy Dettol with JJ coz Mr KSL said parents won't let their children into the bouncy castle which LOOKED really dirty.. They will if they smell the dettol though..! (???)

Sharyl smsed me when I was still with JJ and Holland V asking me to change... The result? When I did, half the people I knew, myself included couldn't recognize me O.O Geez. The wig was hot. seriously.

I tell you, kids have too much energy... too much!! Sharyl, Joanne, Suzanne, Yihui, Vincent and whoever went into the bouncy castle as moderators or safety officers whichever will know for a fact that they last at least 5 times the amount of time you do... maybe 10. It was fun though, even though I hardly had the energy to bounce around..

Most of my day was spent at the bouncy castle, letting in kids (both big and small), handling parents who requested for more time or complained about the fee, babysitting children who were "dumped" by their parents, jumping around with the kids, pulling them down when they climbed up >_> It was an experience, and a really fun one too

It rained somewhere around 3 and apparently "the umbrellas were going like hot cakes then" quoted from Mrs Chan. At least I finally had a chance to walk around the funfair! Great, I had 3 hours to spend 50 bucks and I didn't know what there was to get.. Kenneth and Petrina sort of gave me a hand in spending them though hahaha

Ok, so let's see, out of the remaining 20 bucks.. a 5 dollar popiah from my class, a 4 dollar ripoff oreo milkshake, a jelly from my class too for a dollar, 2 dollars to the PAT for some kueh, another 2 dollars to a class for some other powdery kueh =s, 2 dollars for an icecream to Helsa's class (which was slashed to a dollar 5 minutes later..!) and I don't know where the last 4 dollars went...

Not a single game played! So all I did during this funfair was man the games stall and eat. Oh, and went to watch Bobby perform too! Yeah, it seems rather dull but hey I enjoyed myself! Of course, came the cleaning up which nobody wants to do. But it had to be done!

The day ended, everyone was tired, but everyone was happy =)

Today.. in particular, Chapel.

If I'm not wrong, the band leading worship today was from Faith Methodist Church. Somehow the elec guitar made its way up on stage again together with some rather unique drums..

I don't have much to say about Chapel today, except for one thing. When the worship leader told the college to do whatever they wanted, sit or stand, anything, in any way that they could worship best in, HALF THE COLLEGE REMAINED STANDING. I would assume that EVERYONE who stood are people who wished to seek God. Of course, not forgetting the other Christians who went to sit and pray!! It was beautiful. When the band put a temporary stop to the music and singing in between a song, the distinct voices of the college shouting God's praise were echoing through the hall and the LT. I can't think of a more suitable word. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

If approximately 1000 people could already create this effect, what more Aunt Ross' vision of 2000 people kneeling in God's presence? How much more beautiful would it be? I pray that this time will come soon enough...
