Sat and sun and mon

when it's the holidays, there's so many activities that i think i will be blogging almost everyday. i do this for memory's sake.

i dunno why im going to talk about sat, since it was so ordinary save from ck. ummmmm............ okay, i finally rmb why it's special! it was cheryl's birthday! how could i forget! lol, i better recap everything before they slip off my mind. 14 nov could mark my and cheryl's 3rd week as best friends. haha. i rmb she encouraging me at the youth conference, we had a good talk together and i found her a very nice girl to be best friends with. :) lol, we have much in common. our lameness or rather, subtle sense of humour, love for sports and singing (more accurately, her singing and my guitar playing). hehheh. i baked cookies for her (very very predictable), hoped she like them cos there were walnuts in them! haha, they're brain food, good for her exams. haha.

yup, so on sat, dad fetched er jie, nat and i there. i rmb being really late cos of the ondeh ondeh. mom was so stressed out cos the ondeh ondeh dough wasn't pliable. she even asked God to forgive her of any wrongdoing she could have had committed, all in sheer desperation! lol, later i meshed the dough further and all the sweet potatoes were smooth, not lumpy. tada! that was it, the dough became more pliable. :) we reached parc palais at 2. sang the birthday song, i played a little of frisbee to appease cheryl. haiz, but i yet to be really good at frisbee.

ck started at 3. we had bs on the second point of TULIP, unconditional election. it's a topic that is hard to accept, especially the fact that God is not an all loving Father, instead one who loves only His elect and reprobates the rest. however, it is a comfort for christians to know that they are a part of God's eternal plan. after ck, i played tennis with josiah and boaz. haha, dunno why jonah and josiah both think i super zai in tennis (must be er jie who exaggerate!). personally, im only an amateur. it started to drizzle a little and we left for dinner at subway. i ordered cold cut. and we yet again celebrated cheryl's birthday with apple strudel, her favourite apparently. :) after dinner, er jie and i came home by bus. the journey took 1h 15min. wow, that i think is the longest i have travelled by bus, but i dont mind at all. lol.

on sunday morning, rev koole preached about eglon and ehud. okay, the story's really interesting. okay i noe i must remember in the spiritual insight of the story, not just the story itself, but later that night, i had great fun cos of the story.

that evening, daniel tang's and my family congregated at vera's house to accomodate the kooles for dinner. vera's peranakan house is really cool. i had been there last year for caroling, it still had the exotic feel. my family was there first. while waiting for daniel's family, da jie, mum and i helped out in the kitchen. then i taught vera guitar chords. shes a fast learner. :)

soon, daniel's family came. we had a dinner of lots of uniquely singapore food. the men (including daniel) dined in the living room while the ladies ate in the dining room. the ladies learned that auntie pat (mrs koole) has 2 sons and 2 daughters, and grandchildren! that was what i remembered best. other than that, the older women were chatting about the geography of usa, what colorado to michigan etc. i didn't bother listening. upon finishing our food, the youths, namely vera, daniel, joanna, da jie, er jie and i used msn for a while. lol, we teased ivan a little about his small eyes and him and hui qi being a couple in his msn dp and bernice about her lack of peseverance to guess our identities.

next joanna, daniel, vera and i went to vera's bedroom. we had a mini pillow fight. i felt soooooooooooo immature! but i also felt very very free. so burdenless! so carefree! so happy! daniel of course took pictures while the girls hurled pillows at each other. then we daniel, vera and i played a little game of hide and seek with joanna. lol, we managed to slip away from her while she went down to get her camera. so clever!

after that came the highlight of the evening. er jie and da jie joined us to do a production of the ehud and eglon play! lol, rev koole must never know of this! on first take, i was ehud, 2 sticks of satay made a very competent double edged sword, daniel propped up a pillow and a panda very effectively as eglon he also controled eglon's shit (vera had a brown soft toy that could well represent eglon's' shit - "and the dirt came out".) er jie and vera were the guards, each holding satay sticks and da jie gave the introduction. we did one take but joanna, the camera woman stopped videoing too early, and i, in my eagerness actually stabbed the pillow, (lol, i was too giddy to forget that this was all acting, that i had to pretend to stab the pillow without stabbing it!). at second take, i exchanged roles with er jie. lol, on this take, eglon shit did not just "come out", but it flew out, it torpedoed out! all of us were in a delirious state of laughter. after that, we took a few 'production cast and crew pictures'. then proceeded downstairs to take a picture with the adults.

the youths then did a few jumpshots and headed for the railway track and playground. we took more pictures.... learnt that dick lee is vera's neighbour just a few houses down. cool

with that, we had a very fun and exciting sunday night! :)

just yesterday, on mon, i went to nat's house to play sims. oops, i made my characters commit fornication! lol, very very naughty!!!! dun worry, wouldn't do that again! nat then invited me to play badminton with the j1s. afraid that i would be gate-crashing, i was a little reluctant to go. but nat dismissed it by her 'nevermind lah.....' so i decided to go, anyway, i prefered to get active instead of sitting idle at home.

since we thought we were late, nat and i took taxi there. when we reached, we played badminton with marcus. haiz, i played as a single against them. then ivan came, he partnered me for doubles. i forgot which side won. :( after that, we taught nat bridge and then hui qi came. then it was bridge - table soccer - bridge - some memory game - table soccer - table tennis - animal chase - table soccer. that pretty much sums up what happened, the order more or less in that way. though we played the same things over and over again, it was very very very fun nevertheless.

table soccer was guys vs gals. i was 'condemned' to be both the goalie and defenders, with the exception of one game. we played about 10 games in total, i think the gals won majority! :) table tennis was fun for me, im not sure about the rest. haha, tried coaching nat how to spin + smash, she's got the basics, but needs a lot of practise.

after that all, we went for dinner at .... subway. yeah, my 2nd time in 3 days. and guess what i ate! cold cut! haha, it's not only the cheapest, but the nicest, to me.

okay, i have done quite a detailed recounting of the events these past 3 days. im now suffering from aches. i deserve them cos i never warm up before playing sports, very rarely would i be patient enough to warm up. i guess i better rid this impatience in me before i become injured or something! :)
