2 April Saturday

Suppose to go for kayaking early in the morning but was postponed due to unconfirmed answer. But thank God we didn't go becoz it rained in the morning. Woke up about 10 plus. Then did some work before goin to church. Reached church and needed to do up the Powerpoint for the Youth Fellowship worship session. But then Eleanor and Christine 'jiou' me for lunch. So why not? Went over to Simei Care Centre and I ordered Mee Rebus and ice Teh Tahrik since it is served immediately. Remembered the last time they took so long to serve. Yes indeed it was faster. Got down to eat and after that went back to church to work. Tried opening a file which i saved in the A drive and the file was corrupted. Darn. ALways like that. Then end up have to retype the whole songs for the Powerpoint. But thankfully, Lydia and William just arrived and Lydia offered her help. Hehe. So I was freed to have a chat with William. Haha. Nice to have nice people around.

After that, I went down to the MPH to prepare for worship practise. Suppose to start at 2.45pm but the musicians didn't start to appear until 3pm. I had to set up everything with only Daniel, Ding Yi and Xavier's help. Was honestly quite disappointed. Felt that the musicians were not really serious about the whole worship. Then finaly when we settle down, had to rush thru and was not really able to do much but by God's grace things still turn out quite pleasantly. (with a few of my mis-timing and wrong playing) Didn't manage to attend the sharing part becoz me and Daniel went to pick up the beverage for the refreshment. Then after the fellowship had a commission for Ting2 becoz she passed her driving test. Finally! Muahahhahahahahaha. 3 times. Ok lah! me not any better. 2 times. Then was the makan. The Milo was bad. Diluted and smelt funny. But the cake that William's auntie made was interesting. Fusion. It's like chinese 'kueh' with english cake. I would give a 7.5 out of 10. Then when it came to the clearing part, only me, Lydia, William and Daniel were doing it. The rest of the youths just simply stood there and continued to chit chat. Honestly, I was real irritated by then. I was contemplating whether to share this with the youths during our dinner time. But somehow or rather I just couldn't deliver it to them. Must be the Holy Spirit. Telling me that I was too angry and most probably spoil the whole situation and later I found out some of them already got a 'session' from someone. Thankfully. But i have to say this. All the youths had no initiative to help out. Most of the time it seemed like the youth workers have to serve them. I sorry about it, guys. I'm sure some of you are reading these. Dun blame me for being harsh but I'm being frank here. The only way for the youth to grow is to take ownership of it. How many more years do you think William and Lydia would stay in the Youth? I may also not stay for long depending on where God calls me. You all are the next batch of people to take over. Then start to take ownership. Some more Lydia is pregnant and nobody seemed to take extra care for her. Can I plead to you as a brother-in-Christ, that in your own capacity, try to help out in any ways. I know you all are capable to do great things. And also instead of waiting for others to start, you initiate first and encourage others to help out. Having said all these, don't be mistaken that I'm simply just offloading workload or that you are doing these for any of us but rather this is a service onto the Lord. Do it unto the Lord and He sees it and will bless you bountifully.
