Saturday, October 21, 2006 ; anthem of love
i've got quite a lot of stuff to say on my heart, but this wont be too long.
firstly, claudine is able to make it for camp! yayness!! we're gonna have so much fun okay babe!
secondly, maybe it's because i cant change so easily, that's why it can get hard for me sometimes. and very hard too. i'm definitely not happy with certain things today, and it would definitely take me awhile to accept certain stuffs.
thirdly, today was just so so hectic. firstly, after a night of bible study and getting home late, i woke up at 7am. gosh. nuah-ed until 9 then i realised i'd be late to meet mika. anyways, she was late too and janey, valentia, mika and i went to do some stuff. there was so much needed to be done today. i literally felt like a stretched rubber band.
i wanted to write a msg for coach val's card, sign jack, malcolm and valentia's cards, write a note for the O level ppl on their cards. i mean, all these are not a chore, i love to do them for the ppl i love, but the timing was just wrong i suppose. in the end, i wrote only like one sentence on the card, then it was time to go for leadership trng.
after leadership was super hectic. there was an ADC meeting. then i went with daniel cuz we wanted to sign the cards, then in the end we went up 6 floor again. in the end, after waiting for katie, gina and daryl to finish, we went down to eat lunch. i was darn impatient for some reason. sorry ppl! i tell u, katie is the best man!! she's just somebody who will make u feel better. anyways, then after lunch, deaconness karen came, and EVERYTHING was unprepared. basically, after she came i was following her lor. then i helped her put on the lappel. praise and worship was great okay, but i wasnt exactly praising and worshipping. then when deaconness karen took the stand, before preaching, she said there were ppl here who could not sleep properly at night and there was another group of ppl who were feeling condemned this particular week. i was in both groups actually. haha.
then preaching started. oh god. i put the lapel wrongly again! but this time, thank god the sound can be detected. but apparently i caused the sound ppl A LOT of trouble. cause the lapel is clipped on to one side of her blouse, so each time when she turned the other side, the sound ppl had to make the vol louder. i'm so sorry sound ppl! oh and i could also hear some problems with the sound.
deaconness was so cute can! cuz when i was putting on the lapel for her, she told me to cue her if she's using the mike and forgot there was a lapel, cuz the last time she preached, that happened. so i asked nick sim how to cue her. then he's like, 'oh, the next time she looks at you, point to her lapel.' thank god she did look at me a few seconds later and i cued her.
then she's like, 'oh. oh.'
then the whole congregation went, 'huh??'
deaconness karen: oh i told them to cue me if i was using the mike and not this. thanks guys for reminding me.
anyways, after service there was a debrief. halfway through, pastor dan called. he just reached london and the next day he was his first day. he's excited! :D but like what coach jason said, in his heart is still the ministry. he asked lotsa coach lotsa questions. so anyways, coach jason asked us how everything went, starting from me. i couldn't really say a lot lah. nick said for me lor :D paiseh. suddenly through debrief, i remembered i left my pouch containing my keys and stuff and my pub nametag, on one of those chairs. gosh. thank god i supernaturally remembered! if not i cant get home siah.
fourthly, i wanna say a big thank you to nick sim and katie.
katie is really my pillar of strength man. i had just so much to complain today and so much i'm unhappy about, there was just so much that i cant take it. and katie really listened and just consoled me and just pointed me to jesus. if not for her, i would still be super duperly unhappy.
and as for nick sim, if not for him, that would be it. i acknowledge, that i'm not exactly the most patient, the most knowledgeable, the most teachable, the most submissive one, as much as i would prefer to say i have those qualities. in other words, there are better ppl out there, who really deserve to be in my position. but me in this position, is really truly by His grace and His favour. anyways, nick has been so helpful to me today. he was totally indispensable. he's like darn calm and cool about things. i mean, he helped me ask deaconness karen for certain things, like whether to use the pulpit or the music stand. he really teach me what to do in each step. and he even answered all coach jason's questions for me can.
okay anyway i didn't mean to write so much. anyways, stay blessed people.
