today's monday. usually at this time i'm supposed to be in camp, probably sleeping. but sunday was just sooooooo long that i had to call my pc to give me a day off. because if i went back yesterday i probably would have fallen in the drain on the way back to camp or what. tired!

woke up sooo early yesterady at 6.30. actually that's the time i set the alarm for, but by the time i really got out it was 7.15am. decided to take the bus to church for rehearsal. the rehearsal was really messy because colin was going mad. he was ok on wednesday but somehow today he kept going "OK STOP! I THINK ITS LIKE THIS" which was getting quite annoying. and as well as a few others i wanted to do a full rundown of the songs, but in the end we only managed to practice the links. barely. and ping loong! hahahaha ping loong was really lost in the songs because one of the song starts with the 3rd beat and he just couldn't catch it for half an hour. so we were playing that song in a billion different ways so he could catch it. in the end colin and i clapped hands. hahahaha. after service paul told me that my eguit playing was really nice! which was a nice compliment to hear. however i didn't really play anything much at all, and when i asked him what was so nice about it he didn't really say anything. haha oh well.

cell group was pretty ok. i forgot to memorise the romans 12 chapter! i thought i was dead because everyone was memorising during service and having played eguit i kinda forgot. but by the time we went back to class only jeff and karl sort of knew. gep power. ha. and dominic printed the most biantai disgusting photo of me i've ever seen.

and gosh. beecky. now there's this thing going on that becky likes me. it's a bit scary too, because i'm her wallpaper and i'm her msn picture and small christine says she's always talking about me. what! but she's a really nice little girl and she's so cute too. like my nephew! but he's not really as cute as he was last month. heh it's like how puppies are kinda cute but when they grow up they look just ok.

checked out new creation church in the evening, at the 4.15pm service. the music! gosh the music was so good, it's like hearing a hillsongs album. the drums were miced up and everyone had monitors; the music team plays without looking at score sheets and the singers were so good. initially i was quite skeptical because i thought maybe this was one of those super charismatic emotional prosperity gospel churches, but it's not really that bad. the people do seem a lot more enthu tho. i've never seen like a thousand people raise up their hands while singing for example. and when the pastor says amen everyone's like AMEN which is super loud and wah basically everything's super loud i was going deaf. let alone the poor aunties over there.

the sermon was REALLY long. i was very tired by then, so i fell asleep like three times during the hour long sermon. and he talked about so many things it was hard to keep track. at laest the preacher is a lot better than my aussie church. they chose a really nice closing song, from 2 corinthians 1:17-24. i can still remember that wayyy long ago i think last year during christmas service, or was it watchnight? i asked sarah what all the 'yes lord yes yes yesyes' meant. luckily the pastor explained it really well, from scripture references.

went out with ems for out date at night. hahaha. 'DATE'. it was really corny we went to ichiban boshi at esplanade, which was surprisingly cheap. the decor and overall ambience was fantastic. but there was this waiter who was so blur he stood just three feet away from me but i was waving at him frantically and he didn't even notice.

dinner was pretty nice, except that the both of us were really full! went to the rooftop terrace because it was supposed to be a date so we went there walking around stoning looking at the couples. sigh we're like both single and lonely and thinking of our exs'. hilarious. so we walked around, pseudo-holding hands and counting the stars which was the lamest of lamest things. somehow emily's version of romantic involves lots of alcohol so we went down to harry's and got really wasted. because she was so sure about it, she said 'i bet i can drink more than all of you guys' and her friend was backing her up confidently. sigh so stupid, knowing my male diginity coming into play we went there and ordered like mad.

one mudslide, one flaming lambo, three barcadi 151s, one illusion (no idea whats that), i can't remember what else, and lots of peanuts. lots and lots. i was really quite upside down at the end but fortunately we were even. and i can drink more than shimin. which isn't really anything to be proud about. i think we should have just stayed at the rooftop, because the bill came up to 176. which was INSANE. at least i'm only paying half but still, it's such a waste of money.

when i went home i was so dead i used my idiotproof anti hangover procedure, which was really just to drink more water than a thirsty elephant. plus my mom got so mad. she said i was inconsiderate to my dad, who stayed up waiting to send me back to camp. but i called my pc in the cab to give me a day off, and when i told my mom that i wasn't going back to camp she got all flared up. so i feel so bad. really bad. sigh what's done is done anyway. there's no place for regrets in our world.

2cor1:17-24

God says yes and I know
That I'm blessed
Yes got a heart that's at rest
Yes and a future that's sealed
Yes if I'm healed then I'm healed
I'm not afraid of circumstances
'Cos I, I've already found the answers
In Christ all of God's promises
Are yes, yes and amen
