yf outreach

Saturday, September 16, 2006

whee a nice day today :D

i was supposed to bring cherie and rachel to outreach today. but they BOTH pangseh-ed me last minute -.- cherie said her family was going out, and rachel said her mum wanted her to stay home and study. so yeah i actually planned not to go for yf anymore. coz i thought it'll be really weird.. like not going with friends when everyone else was bringing friends. but in the end, my sister started "scolding" me for not going.. and i dont know how to explain it, but many things seemed to guide me in the direction of going for yf. like, my sister relating past experiences she had when she was in the same situation :/ and also megan calling and smsing me, and andrew suddenly sending me a random sms asking whether i was going to outreach, and charles trying to persuade me to go, and terence asking me to go too. and some other weird thing that i'll rather not elaborate. and i prayed about it, and figured that God would probably want me to go :) so yeah i went in the end, and im glad i did :D

arranged to meet megan and friends, sher and friends, alicia and friends and charles and mel at the bus stop at 240. but on the way there, i met danny in the bus (he came from training) so we started talking until we reached. then he waited with me for the rest of them to come. and then we walked in together. and on the way, Uncle Lee Yong drove past us and asked us whether we wanted a lift. and coz there were 7 people altogether (including Uncle Lee Yong and Jeannette), megan and i had to squeeze in the front seat together! and we were BOTh stuck and couldnt move. OH MAN. haha.

yeah then we started the program. and basically, we were supposed to go take some tests first, and the grade that we got from those tests would determine what job we would take. i was an entertainer! together with megan and her two friends. so yah we just had to move from station to station, trying to get money and all. i thought i got a lot of money, but i found out in the end that i actually had very little comparing to others! HAHA. oh well. there was once when i was supposed to pay $500 at one booth i think. and perhaps i pouted unknowingly lah, but jieren said "why look so sad? its just paper money!" LOL! funny girl. and i heard too that someone was promoted from an extra to a superstar just for saying "you know ah. that charles very fat leh" HAHAHA. ultimate that one. i dont know who said it though. i want to go congratulate that person. megan lost all her money!! poor girl. coz terence (THE EVIL ONE) had to cards, one super good, one super jialat. and she chose the jialat one. so yah he took ALL her money!! naughty naughty elmo!

oh and there was one booth which kinda gave us liabilities. and rachel ng kept giving me SO MANY!! i had like 3 kids. and i was whining that i didnt have a husband. then in the end she said "you want a flat?" HAHA.

then after that, they split us according to how much money we had. and obviously, i was in the lousiest lah! haha. poot alicia was in the richest group. with her sports school friends! and then they gave out gifts according to the amount of money we had. like the poorest, got the smallest presents. and when we opened it, we just had newspaper and rice inside! as in, everyone had the same thing. including the rich people. yeah then we had a little messge kinda thing.

then some items! first one by cheng hui who shared his testimony! its just surprising how God can use us to work in the lives of others isnt it? i really want to learn from my father :) the "TALL MAN" HAHA. and then daryl. he composed a song a few days ago. so he played and sang it for us today. i love the words! they are SO real okay :)

dinner time! the food was FANTASTIC lah. but when i just finished getting my food, my mum turned up and wanted me to go home. could tell she was kinda upset coz she just walked away without saying anything :/ but yah later she called me and said she was giving me TEN minutes to eat and then she'll fetch me back. oh well thank God she didnt ground me or something :D

woohoo. so much to thank God for today :)

ahh help. i need to start mugging. help me pray for discipline! i cant get started :/

trembling at His voice,10:30 PM
You are worthy of our praise
