SUNDAY

Yayyyy! IT'S SUNDAY! Pretty excited. This afternoon we are having our Bazaar Sale and Parish Dinner. Went to svc in the morning. Was at the Chinese Svc and Arch-Deacon Seow was the preacher. Talking about balancing Grace and Truth. Funny! I though Rev Yong talked abt this theme last week. Hmmm! But still very enlightening as he brought up his perspective. Left svc a bit early to go finish up the pdt for the Bazaar. After 1st svc, I needed to go Eastpoint to get some cardboard. So was asking around if anyone goin for lunch but den everyone seems like have some other things to do. So at the end, alone i went to Eastpoint. Didn't eat. Just collected the cardboard, run some errand and went back to church. Den met some of the youths who were having their meeting for the Youth Camp. As i was busybody, i sat in to hear their meeting. I'm pretty impressed. Actually this is an understatement. They were really independant. William wasn't able to make it and they ran the whole show by themselves. Fantastic man! Praise the Lord! After the meeting, did some more stuff before going to Expo with Leng Leng. Den met Xing Ni and Eleanor and went for lunch. 3 of us very cartoon. There were a few eatery outside Expo Hall 2-5 and we walk fr one end to the other end and den finally walk back to the start. Ate at this noodle shop. Pretty nice. Den also added some side dishes. And thk you to Xing Ni. 1 free meal. Muahahaha! Den as we walked back to the area for the Bazaar Sale, saw that a group of the Chinese Congregation, all ready to unpack their barang barang on the table. Haha! I also started to unpack, den the rest came and help with the posters and the sales. Even before the official start, sale started. We were selling bouquets of paper roses, phtot taking and printing svc, cards, fridge magnets, chocolate, cookies, wired name tag. Woah! Pretty much items. Auntie Khim was baking the cookies and she was late. I tot she forgot the time. But when she came, her cookies went out pretty fast. Hot cakes or rather cookies. Den the next best was chocolate followed by the fridge magnet. The photo taking took up slowly. But at the end, have to rush the work. The cards were beautifully crafted by Emily. My goodness! Really fabulous. But den have to charge at a realistic price, so may be a bit pricy to others. But we still did sell a number of it. Well as you can see, i haven't talked about the roses i made. Bad news for it. Didn't went too well. Firstly, there's another group selling single stalk which is much afforadable. Secondly, all the guys out there are all practical men. They would rather get $10 worth of food den to buy the flowers. Oh woe to the world. Where are the romance and the enthuasiasm? Haiz....! Haha! Talking rubbish. But honestly i wasn't even too bothered by it. I didn't even go and lelong it. I just left it at oneside. Then when the Bazaar ended, everyone went in for dinner. I gave a bouquet to all the girls and den the youths took a group photo. Claudia was stil busy with printing the photos so i stayed back to help her. Den Dan and Nat came out to help a bit. By the time everything was done, the dinner had gone into the 3rd course. I was suppose to sit with the youths but den last min, some hiccups, i gave up my seats and sat with another table. That table's pple i know but somehow i would still prefer to sit with the youths. Can identify better. Den somehow i felt i was alone again. Dun know why i always feel like that. Not the 1st time. Many many times. But den every time i was always reminded by the Spirit. That when i chose to walk with Him and to walk even deeper with Him, there will be times when i will track onto path where there is physical emptiness but den His promise is He is always with me. Somehow it felt better after this assurance. So everything went smoothly, dinner was good. But honestly was real tired. After dinner, still have to help to clear the logisitcs. So pack up and went back to church to offload the barang barang. Den Chong Khai was with us and he asked if i could give him a bouquet of rose. Haha! Well! Why not! So gave him. Wonder what he do with it. Which girl will benefit from the roses. Haha! Ok! Den after this walked home. ANd really tired. Yawnnnnn! Just want to give thks to God for by our own strength we will nvr be able to accomplish anything. By His grace and His love, we know we can pull thru any situation. Praise be to Adonai!
