1st CG in yr 2008
hey guys! i'm back! i knew that the posts i owing here is getting more and more as days passed! (till the recent: 8 posts) so i decided that, i will stop the owing by posting the most recent (which is the 8th post) today. the other owing posts.... hahax... just keep waiting! XD!!!
ytd i had this wonderful time at jacob's place near eunos. it was the venue for our 1st CG in the year 2008!!! wooo!!!~~ seriously, it has been months and days or even 1 year since i last attend CGs. (*sob sob* hahax!!!) so we decided to meet at 12pm at eunos mrt station and heng yu will lead us there.
at first is wanted to meet windez at raffles place at 11:15am to buy the fruits. den in the end, i'm seriously late!!! 11:15am i'm still walking towards bedok mrt station. until when i reached aljunid(pardon the spelling) mrt, den windez called to ask me and chun kwee to join ruth and heng yu at eunos instead. so i called chun kwee and took the mrt to lavender, hoping to meet tgt and go eunos. in the end, he nva picked up the call and the time shown 11:30am alrdy. so i went back to eunos first, with paying my internet bills at the S.A.M machine in mind. while paying, emily showed up behind me. so the two of us sat down and chat while waiting for the others.
she was telling me about wad happen before she came here. there were 2 korean women tad she met previously asking her to go to their church. they were claiming tad their church is the most traditional while the others had some reform or smt. she was saying abt the way they talked to ppl and seriously their method went wrong! it gd tad they wan more ppl to know abt God, so they went evangelising which is a gd thing. but the way they speak is so wrong!!! is like forcing others to join them!!! (i shan't say too much abt it anyway)
after tad i was telling her my previous workplace here and therefore afraid meeting the previous colleagues here esp. den Ruth came, so we decided to go buy drinks from 7-11. deb came and i was shocked, ruth was asking me whether we know each other. so i said yeah, sec sch frens. deb was telling me how busy she was currently and everything, i was kind of shocked when she said she went for the campus crusade and everything. i asked her abt jacob, and she said yeah yeah. so the conclusion here is i and her knows who is jacob. hahax!!!
chun kwee was saying he's coming soon cos his alarm clock spoilt and woke up late. heng yu and ke jie also haven come. while waiting for them, we chatted and cos i'm facing them i can see who is coming down from the train and so on. just when i was about to talk, i saw a very familiar face! and to my horror, tad person is mr miao hua! he was also looking at my direction, and seriously i was panicking!!! i shifted my direction, got up from my place and started running away to hide. den i decided to go back, after hiding arn 1 min (stupid fast) and he was walking towards the company. i was saying thx God tad he didn't see me. we con't our conversation and i realised it's actually ok to see him and not hiding in the first place. we can still be friends though we can't be colleagues! i scold myself being silly and stupid. hahax!!!
den after arn an hour of waiting, heng yu and ke jie came and we were on our way to the venue!!! hahax!!! the place was at the top of a factory in one of the kaki bukit industrial park. when we reached, the guys told us to take off our shoes (oh tad stinks...hahax!!!) and close our eyes as we went in. we were lead to some place and was told to sit down on the chair. when we opened our eyes, in front of us was the food brought from windez's dad de restaurant. awesome lunch!!! hahax!!!
after the lunch we had a game of pool (Ruth and me was saying we want to play) before the game starts. we had charades and seriously the game is fun! trying to get everyone know wad u are acting out. mine was totally wah..... i have to act out the word Lust. struggling for quite sometime before i finally have an idea on how to act. finally, Ruth managed to guess wad i was acting out and after the two game masters acted on the leftovers (seriously it sound so wrong!!!) we end the 1st game and proceed to smt challenging. 2nd game: overhydrate. main aim was tad players were to put in their desired amount of liquid in a cup and not to overflow the contents. else, they have to drink the whole cup of liquid. 1st round we had coke with tonic water and tomato juice and windez kena it. 2nd round we had tomato juice with tonic water! (seriously it look gross!!!) and heng yu kena. 3rd round, we had the tonic water with ice lemon tea and coke. ke jie kena and i tasted the drink, it's really ok!!! still can drink de!!!
tad ends our 2nd game and lastly we had this card hunting and at the end, we exchanged the card to the respective owner. thx jeff for writing the cards!!! den we had our praise and worship!! the songs are great!! hahax!!! after the songs and worshipping, we had our holy communion. chocolate bread and ribena! hahax... they were joking about the bread and so on... hahax!!!
after the holy communion, we had the testimony time. starting from jeff, he was saying about the point of time when he backslided and how his fren bringing him going churches to get him to know God again. i still rmb the sentence he said, which impacted me.
once God named you as His child, you can nva escape. wad he said is true, even God were to overuse his creativity to bring us back to Him, He's willing to do it. den after jeff, i was next. den deb shared her short story at the camp how God affirmed her fears and everything. so after her short sharing, i started saying about the 8 mths and 8 days away from church and everything and to now with the group. den emily shared how she came to know abt God at the age of 9 and so on. i was touched by her story too after jeff's. den chun kwee was saying his and how God has helped him and everything.
after the sharing, we had teachings from michael!!! woo!!!~~~ the teaching is awesome and i really get to know more abt how God loves us from the teachings. also thx michael for doing the handouts. den we had our fruit time. hahax!!! i simply love the green apples, they smelled so nice!!! arh....(drifting away liao hahax!!!) so everyone was explaining how the fruit represented love in their perspectives. den after tad everyone go on with their own things.
ytd night, windez told me tad ke jie rededicated on the way home. i was really happy, because i myself experience it before too! hahax!!! a great day ytd!!! =D
