the saturday

okay... today was pretty rushed at first. thing is, i could not sleep last night(more like this morning).. and i ended up waking up at 12.55pm. to my horror realising that i was gonna b late for worship practice with uncle thomas at 1.30. so i was kinda panicking... rushed about trying to get changed and all that... ended up wearing the shirt i wore to sleep to youth! hahas... there u have it, the mickey mouse shirt was the one i wore to sleep... was trying to decide if i should take the bus or the taxi, by this time it was 1.07pm. My personal record time for getting ready=)

then decided to take a taxi. I KNOW. waste of money lah... im nvr gonna do that again..*mental note: wake up earlier by setting the alarm. THEN... i ended up having 3 taxis pass by me.. it was SO ANNOYING!! the first annoying taxi uncle made me lug the taylor guitar across the road(st 61) just to tell me he cant take me to SALVATION ARMY BISHAN.. RRRRR... then the next was taken up by someone who CUT MY QUEUE! RRRRRR.... the final one i missed was when i was flagging the cab, from across the road.. the uncle just looked at me and DROVE OFF! like what LAH! RRRRRRRR..... in the end this nice premier taxi uncle picked me up.. im officially slightly against comfort taxis... get it? uncomfortable with comfort taxis?

anyways... went to worship prac... then uncle thomas had all his songs in 'F'. And i did'nt bring my capo... hurr... so was pretty tiring playing all the F,Gm,Bb,Dm.. and so on and so forth... anyways... had a short meeting with the youth camp comm.. the games are gonna be uber fun guys! hahahs...

played for jess during youth worship.. and for some reason.. all the songs sounded okay during prac, but came out terrible for youth worship... and its not the first time!! its like the 3rd time already.. but im playing exactly the same way! *sigh* i'll have to work on that...

anddd... had class with the 'youngies' as jess like to call them.. took over the class today cuz jess had to do the camp registration form..hahas. it was really quite fun.. was reminding them about how the devil can speak lies into your mind, and how it is up to them to carry through with the lie or not. I hoped i made a point when i told them the reason y verses from the bible are impt. That you can use to word of God to rebutt the lies of the devil! Gave the example of "rejection". that when something small like your friends were planning a class outing to the cinema, but they accidently forgot to get u a ticket... how the process goes.. from your mind..the lies, to your heart, u start to believe that the lie is true, to the mouth or action.. when u start to act the lie, which inevitably becomes reality. Because u will start to withdraw from others and declare negative thoughts on yourself... and slowly and surely.. does'nt matter how long.. it will lead to u as a christian leading a defeated life, and thoughts of suicide may even come in. I kinda shared with abit of experience... cuz i once almost committed suicide(for some of u who don't know=)) but thats a story for another day. i did'nt share my testimony with them, but i shared from my heart... cuz i know these things are real...

Then i went on to give them James 4:7"submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you" and well.. teaching them about the battle in and for our minds...

then after youth, my mum, dad and i ate at the coffeshop near yishun safra. halfway through our dinner, there was some lion dance and some rituals going on.. so we quickly finished our dinner and walked home, cuz where we were, the noise was like OVERBEARING..

oh.. and btw, i was shocked... today as i was buying my food.. cuz theres this indian guy who spoke perfect mandarin! and even though i replied in english.. he kept speaking mandarin... SO COOL!! hahahahas... i think his mandarin is way... WAY better than mine..
