blessed

Ok the first thing I did this morning was to switch my laptop on and check if the internet was working and YES it was. I got so desperate, I skipped my emails and came HERE to blog. FINALLY! I'll blog from what happened in the city on friday on because I really cannot remember what happened in school.

After school, Annsley, Shelina, Derek, Dominic, May and I walked to May's house so that May could get her things or put down some thing. Then we walked to Da Yong and Derek's house. We went to see Derek's and Da Yong's rooms. Derek got the master bedroom. Big lar can. Nic was in their house. Then Da Yong, Dominic, Nic, Annsley, Shelina, May and I walked to the Curtin bus stop. Derek didn't come along because he didn't want to go to the city. So anti-social. Haha nah just kiddin'. Then Nic went off to meet Peggy somewhere at the Curtin bus stop(yes it's humongously huge) and the rest of us took bus 72/75(cannot remember la) to the city.

The first thing in the city we did was to drink bubble tea at tea fusion. I had taro smoothie with oreo and pearls. It didn't taste as good as taro smoothie without oreo. Don't know la. May went off to do grocery shopping. Then we played cards. At first they played DaiDee so I sat on the sofa and read magazines. Then DaYong, Annlsey and I played bluff. DaYong lost one round and he got ALL the cards so there was no point in playing anymore. Ok la not all but most of them. Enough to let him know whether or not we are bluffing. We were sitting upstairs, by the way so the whole of second floor felt like it was ours. Then at around 5, we walked towards timezone.

I topped-up 50 bucks as usual and started playing the winnie the pooh machine. In total I caught 5. Gave all away because I have all of those designs already. Annsley has two, Shelina has two(reduced to one..you'll know why later), and May has one. Then Shelina and Annsley played DDR. Then Shelina and I played the car racing one. I lost my touch in all! Argh! Then at around 6.15, DaYong, Shelina, Annsley, May, Dominic and I made our way to the Esplanade bus port.

WE WENT BESERK! We ran all the way to the Esplanade bus port sia! Like run walk run walk run walk. But when we ran, we ran really fast AND walked really fast. But when we neared the esplanade bus port, I stopped running because I buay ta han liao. That's exactly what happens to my stamina after smoking for just 3 months. Argh. We reached our stand all sweaty. Like eew. Yes, eew. And guess who we saw at the bus stand? Stephen! I was dead happy. Missed him so much. He who's been someone like a brother to me.

On the way to Michelle's house in the bus, Da Yong kept bullying me. Then Stephen purporsely acted like nothing happened la! Idiots!!! Then when we got off the bus, we made our way to Michelle's house. There was one place where Da Yong went to walk on risen bricks and he lost his balance and fell and got himself a bruise. Smart la, Da Yong. Lol. After a very long walk, we finally reached Michelle's house.

We did a round of introduction, played the skittles game and started worship. For the introduction, we had to say our names, our favourite band/artiste and how many siblings we have. So mine goes as such: "I'm Rynetta, my favourite band is A1 and Blue. Yes, both bands have split. I'm an only child." If you have siblings in your family, you have to say whether you're the eldest or youngest or whatsoever. I shan't explain the skittles game because it's really complicated lol I just know I got to eat a few skittles ^^.

During worship, it felt..special. I felt God's presence. I felt blessed. 40 day community was as intellectual as ever. We prayed for each other and then, it was DINNER! There was avocado drink as usual, plain rice, potato salad, chicken and mud cake. Nice nice nice! Jason, sitting next to me, bullied me easily. ARGH.

Then Sumy went high. She was desperate to know who her angel was because she hasn't got any presents. She checked her bag and found nothing and went "ANGEL! THIS IS MY BAG AR!" Then she went into Michelle's room because she wanted to wait for her angel to do something. We, obviously, don't know who Sumy's angel was so Nic wanted to put left over paper plates into her bag. Then Michelle said "Wait! Must write something!" Then when Michelle was writing, Sumy jumped out of the room like a monkey to see if her angel was doing anything. It was so so funny that everyone was laughing like...like mad! Then seeing nothing in her bag, she went back into the room "disappointed". Then everything went back to normal. The normal chatting and gossiping. Within seconds, Sumy jumped out of the room again. This time she looked like..I don't know lol but it was really really funny. Everyone couldn't stop laughing already. Jason laughed until his stomache ached then Shelina said Jason looked like he was giving birth then everyone laughed harder. I laughed untl my stomache got cramps sia. Then Annsley laughed until she cry, got stomache cramps, backache and she leaned back and knocked her head on a table and got headache. WA LAO EH funny sia!!!!!

At 10, Crystal came by to pick Annsley, May, Stephen and I up. But Da Yong stayed near May so Da Yong came along instead of Stephen. Oh Stephen took one of the winnie the poohs because he wanted one really badly lol so Shelina got one less =P. On the way home, Annsley was still high. She was laughing at nothing sia! Scary can. Lol. We managed to reach home peacefully. Thank God.

Yesterday was church service day! K that's not supposed to be the start. At 12, Felix said he want to buy KFC for lunch. So Annsley and I followed him because we needed to do grocery shopping. So after Felix finished pumping oil at the petrol kiosk, we went to Coles and did grocery shopping. We went to every row and we were shopping really slowly. This is what happens after not shopping for weeks: $173.70. Smart hey? Yep, smart. Of all things, I forgot to buy easter cards. SUPER smart me.

We got home and had KFC for lunch. Petrus came halfway and was fed by us too. Haha see our hospitality! Then after lunch, I watched Haunted Mansion. It wasn't even scary, to be honest. I don't see why Singapore rated the movie back then. At around 3.30, Faith and Boon Whye picked Annlsey and I up for church service.

We missed EduCell because we were late. So we only went for church service. Sang, as usual. Then sharings. Then a speaker did the lecture. He wasn't a pastor, though. The lecture was on relationships. What destroys and builds them. After the lecture, some cried. The speaker cried too. And I did feel abit teary. It's hard to explain why. I don't know. It just came. Then songs again. After church service, Faith arranged transports for dinner!

At first Dinner was at some vietnam restaurant that's always packed. With 30++ of us, there obviously ain't enough tables for us. So Crystal changed the venue to Lido. No, not the cinema in Singapore but another vietnam restaurant. You could imagine the amount of noise we produced lol. I made new friends. Jeremy and Gavin. And Dorcus(something like that) and Mary-Ann and so on.

I had beef hor fun. The portion was HUGE man. Gavin and Faith had the same as me just that both of them shared one bowl. Gavin, the big vegetable love, dumped one whole plate of bean sprouts into their bowl when they were supposed to have only half a plate. So they ended up with more bean sprouts than noodles in their bowls. Faith doesn't like bean sprouts so she was like struggling throughout the whole dinner. And for me, I couldn't finish. So I gave the left overs to Jason lol you should've seen his face. He went "waaa this is how loving me cell member is". SARCASTICLY of course lol.

After dinner, Gavin sent Faith, Annsley and I home. I had fun. Real fun. I thought about those childish boys in my school, and realised what life really is. Not DOTA, not zion the lan game shop in singapore but what I'm going through now. I feel really really blessed.
