cg outing part 2
...written on Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2005, @ 10:22 p.m.
actually im feeling kinda lazy now. dun feel like typing out the part 2 of my cg outing. but then again, the reason y its so fun is because of the company, rather than the programs itself. nothing much went on at night (apart from the teddy bear and the card games). we had some nice conversations while slacking on the bench. thats about it.
in the morning, (looks like im in it again. bleah) we had devotions again. i can't remember what verses we read. i sang a couple of songs that came to my mind and gosh, its super refreshing. the holy spirit once again affirmed me that He will not forsake me no matter what happens. i must admit that recently i've not been totally righteous or whatever u call that. God warned me time and time again but i kept on convincing myself that there's nothing wrong with it. anyway, its good to be walking with God once again.
packing was the last thing on our mind. we actually procrastinated for almost 2 hrs before we started doing anything about it. i was assisting daniel to catch mudskippers while sarah and amy were looking at us. not long after, we gave up and started some stone skipping competition. both me and daniel tied with 3 skips as our best record.
soon came the most undesirable part of the day, packing up. keeping the tents wasn't that simple as it looks. it involved alot of skills to keep it with minimal sand and grass. we tried keeping it on grass as well as in the shelter. its either sand or grass that got onto the tents while rolling it up. it was aweful. although it wasn't very clean, at least we tried our best. spraying the base with water could have worked but it involves drying the tents as well. due to time constrain, the idea was rejected.
after breakfast/lunch at Macs, the girls took a cab along with all our luggages. as for the guys, since we were not in a rush and we need not carry so much stuffs, we felt relaxed and thus we went for a round of bowling. all the guys played except for daniel and me. i didn't really feel like playing cuz i wanted to accompany daniel. i helped zechariah and nicholas to bowl their first round. before doing so, i had a mini conversation with daniel which goes like this:
daniel: whats ur highest score?
me:169
daniel:wah thats very good.
what happened after that was that i helped nicholas to play first and guess wad, the ball went into the 'drain'. so daniel was like
daniel: i thought u got 169 before?
me: ... (kana jacked badly)
after that game, all of us rushed back to church cuz i needed to be there by 2.40pm and it was like 1.50pm already.
FINALLLY!! NOW BACK TO WAT I WANNA BLOG ABOUT TODAY!!
i went to chris chia's house to study today. we stopped studying around 7 plus as all of us were super distracted by then due to the topics that we were discussing. i think its really good that we could share whatever that is in our mind. it has come to a point whereby we are comfortable to share anything within us and yeah. who knows, all of us might progress to the buddy stage like what i talked about previously.
i stayed there for dinner as well. actually, i wanted to go home to have dinner with my dad but auntie jackie prompted us quite a few times. she's seriously very poor thing. 2 out of 3 of her children won't be home from mon to thursday every week. living in such a big house without anyone at home can be pretty intimidating. my mum told me once before when we were staying in australia. that was when i was like one years old. my dad had to work until very late at night so most of the time my mum would be alone at home babysitting me. this loneliness thingy really got me thinking. my mum always try to come back earlier from work just to see me but yet, most of the time (weekends) i'll be staying over at friends house. i think i should start going home earlier on sunday. i think my mum really wants us to have dinner together as a family. moreover, a few more months later, i'll be in NS. i really dun want her to have that kind of empty nest syndrome. thats all for today. oh ya, chris house is like 10 mins away from my house. so near!! daniel are u jealous?? btw, adele thinks that im a hostess boy. but i am so innocent. sigh!!
