MAUNDY THURSDAY

HOrrray! No class today. But still got many things to do. Got to go for haircut, go church to help out, go for worship practise and last but not least, the most important event is Maundy Thursday. Woke up pretty early. Dun know why but since i was awake, I decided to do something meaningful. At the computer screen. Haha. Waste my life just on the PC. Checked my mail, played some games. And time flew. It was 11am. My hair saloon just opened. So I gave a call to make an appointment. Actually tot of having it at 11.30am but my stylist not in until 12pm and he had another appointment. So next slot was like 2.30pm. Oh my! That's a long wait and I can't wait for another day coz my hair is way too like a bush. Another time it will catch a fire. So reluctantly, I took that appointment. Since I had so much time to wait, I packed my bag and went to church. And the church is still quite in a mess and as usual my help is always needed. Did some errands here and there and it was lunch time. Went to the newly renovated hawker centre just beside the Bedok Army Camp. Got plenty of food but I decided to go for the Fish&Chips. When lunch came, I realised they served me a very healthy and slim fish. The fish was like less than a cm thick. My goodness. You called that a fish. Uncle Wee Kiat called that a tsunami fish. Fish that got swept up onto the road by the tsunami and run over by cars. Haha. And it cost me $4.50. After that, we had 'Ching Teng' for desert. Cooling and splendid. After lunch, time to go cut hair. Reached there, my stylist took like erh erh 15 min and done. Just trimming and thinning. Haha. Me like girl like that. Cut hair also so 'ma fan' (troublesome) After this, went back to church again to help out. Then was followed by the worship practise. Was running late and short of time and was still testing out the sounds. I was honestly nervous becoz this was such a grand occasion. I also couldn't really hear my bass and it seems like it was giving me problem also. Then when the svc started, we started playing and halfway thru the last song, my bass started to give me problem. Was giving me the "Ko ro pok" sound. Cracking here and there until I finally gave up and stop playing. Was a little disappointed and frustrated but I guess I learned something. If I can't use the bass to worship God, then I will just worship God with whatever I have.

The svc was followed by Senior Pastor's message and then the Holy Communion and lastly the foot washing. The feet washing was very meaningful. It was one of the last things that Jesus did before being crucified. In the olden days, people wears sandals and the road is dirt road. So when guests turn up at the host's house, the servants of the hosts would help to clean the feet of the guest. This service is done by the servant. But Jesus being the master did this to his disciples as an act to tell them that He being God came not to be served but to serve. And He wants all His disciples to follow likewise. To have a servanthood heart. As the brother started to wash my feet, I simply couldn't control my emotions. Without knowing, the events from the feet washing to the crucifixation of Jesus start to float into my mind. My heart was so touched and I just couldn't stop tearing (one of the another thing that i do like a girl. haha) Lastly, Pastor told us to go around and send our blessings, prayers to our brothers and sisters. It was very moving when you see everyone moving around encouraging, praying , tearing with one another. THAT'S WHAT GOD'S FAMILY ARE ABOUT. LOVING ONE ANOTHER! I really await the day where everyone will gather together to worship and praise God.
