God is faithful


sunday's trip to pulau ubin was a blast:) so many things to thank God for:)


met sing ee, joshua, dennis, wen kai and wei wei at 845 to tie up the loose ends about everything and finalise the groupings too


at about 945 onwards people started to trickle in [thats late by the way]. was a rather pathetic amount at first..much like we expected actually. but soon, more and more pple started appearing ready for the event..pple whom we didnt know were coming at all. had to keep adding pple to the groups and shifting others around.. abit of a briefing by sing ee and we were on our way:)


changi jetty [it has changed so much!]: went on the first boat with 11 other pple. all of us tumbled in and the boat started backing out out for the journey there. and in the middle of whichever sea we were in, our boat got stopped by the police coast guard..yep im not faking it. 2 of them came on board and asked for our IDs.. gave my ez-link card. they went back to the nice air conditioned boat and left us floating/drifting on the sea..was pretty cool at first [ how many times does such a thing happen to you?] but things got a little boring after a while.. to make things worse, the boat was rocking badly and we were all kinda worried about it..coupled by the fact that the sky was rapidly turning overcast..sigh


it started drizzling..could see the raindrops making 'holes' in the water and the spurts of droplets that followed.. meanwhile we were cleared of being illegal immigrants and started for the island again..reached there safe and sound:)


and it started pouring heavily and the winds were like sooo strong..the raindrops were almost horizontal! yep it was that bad..so the 12 of us were stuck in the jetty shivering with the cold. not too good considering that some of us were sick to begin with.. spent a long time waiting and praying that the rain would go away.. joshua was saying that that was not enough time to play the games and we probably had to leave them till the next fun sunday..felt disappointed but have to accept it right?


at about 12..the rain started to lighten and the 12 of us decieded to troop onto the tiny island of pulau ubin and meet the others on their way back.. yup..i now that its crappy but after going all the way there and not setting foot on it is a bit sad lah.. best of all things..the rain finally stopped when we reached the jetty again:)thank God for that:) so all of us decied to go back and play some of the games that we planned:)


reached the bb court.. joshua carried out his game first.. a bit complicated but basically each team had to try and secure a cardboard box and well as they could with the various string/rope provided. after that, boxes were exchanged and they had to untie the box as quickly as possible..pity that one particular box did not survive the torture..
moved on to wei wei and my game:) had to improvise our game cos of the lack of time..gave everyone 1 or 2 pieces of paper with a letter of the alphabet and a body part written on it..after that wei wei went around writing that letter on that body part - like the paper says 'n' and nose, the letter 'n' would be written on the nose:) the results were hilarious! watching everyone getting into the strangest positions to form words was totally belly aching funny:) our brains were working on an overdrive trying to think of all the words to form and we threw them the ulitmate..to form the longest word..apparently it was royalties..thats 9 letters out of 14:) headed back to mainland after that and had lunch at changi itself before heading back to church. sat on the bus with crystal and we managed to talk quite abit too:)


sorry if i bored you with that endless recount of the day..glad you plodded through it though.. truely through the whole things God was so faithful to us:) he sent the pple who came to have fun and stopped the rain too.. love you Lord:) was glad that i had the opportunity to work with the 5 of them too esp wei wei :) may the subsequent fun sundays be even better and that more pple would decide that it is worthwhile going for..
