weekly weekend update [long post ahead]


-saturday-
had econs pre-prelim essay test in the morning
didnt really study for it..ok..i didnt study for it
did as best as i could with the pathetic amount of info in my brain
am not expecting to do very well for it


went with su zhen and pei yee to check the new national library
had lunch at bugis food court first
dun ever patronise the western food stall cos its just not worth it
the claypot one is quite nice though


pei yee had a revelation about the size of the nlb
-p.y "whoa..this place is BIG..must take a photo of it"
takes out her camera phone and snaps a shot
-jane "erm..you knew that its 16 storeys high right? you expected it to be underground?"
hahaha..[just laugh along to humour me]
*i still love you, pei yee:)


anyway..we made our way in
and was greeted by a nice blast of cool air at the door
the place is really nice..so big and spacious
a nice place for studying esp in the reference floors
the sound of silence is deafening there though
you just feel compelled to speak in whispers
ended up studying there till about 245 before going down to church


didnt exactly know how to get to church although its pretty near
decided to go by an extremely indirect way[ cos i was sure it would get me there]
took the mrt and had to change lines twice..
so i travelled on 3 different lines to get to a place 3 stops away..sigh


had crosslink in church
pastor steven talked about 'why a good God would allow suffering to happen'
nice stuff..
more sessions in the next few weeks


-sunday-
morning programme as usual..
church service than sunday school
ended class before 12..a record for wei shieng:)
went for lunch before heading back to church for wall painting
[i can just hear you say"again" but rem..rome wasn't built in 1 day..same goes for the wall]


sharon, wei shieng and i went back first
they had a hard time opening the tins of paint
and we realised that they were the wrong colours
but decided to carry on and hope for the best
changed into crappy clothes - my trusty pl shorts and bad-taste ny orintation tee
started painting and inhaling all the fumes at the same time
shuang han and adrianne joined us soon after
talked while we painted [girls are good at multitasking right:)]
with occasional laspes of silences when the need for precision superceeded everything else
[when we were doing the black outlining]
agnes came at about 2 plus to 'entertain' us
and contibute her tiny bit to the world


the outcome..
a pretty work of art:)
no doubt a little imperfect but we gave our best to it
hopefully it will not be merely a backdrop in our youth room but is something meaningful
something that causes one to be interested in missions
something that stirs up the desire to 'Preach CHRIST to the end of the earth'


cousin's wedding dinner at night
it was ok.. save for my other cousins at my table
had a great time with them
hearing about dissecting frogs and upcoming wedding preparations [i have plenty of cousins]
and a common love for 'bao qing tian' aka chinese C.S.I


realised that my dad and uncle have alot in common..they are brothers so its quite duh
-jane "papa..why you never button your coat? aiyoh.."
made him come nearer and buttoned it for him
-dad[to the table] "this girl always make noise about my clothes one.."
started laughing and pulling at my tied-up hair
-cousins "hey..my dad always does that to me too!"
* feeling a deliciously warm and fuzzy feeling:)


okie..thats all folks:)
sorry if this was insanely boring to all but myself
erica: i shall reply your email asap..i promise:)
