EASTER'S OVER ): lets look forward to chrismas now!
easter camp went quite well. as in, although my lectures were like, nervous run through, and i couldnt really remember what i wanted to say, God made it okay. It was a first step to alot of things. I learnt alot too. and i realised why i can talk alot of nonsence on the spot in front of people, but just become speechless on stage. and then there was my the piano playing for worship. it was RATHER obvious i stumbled. but then God still touched everyone. I learnt one really really important thing, and its that, it would not be by OUR might that we play super super well and we touch the people, or the youths, its God's very own presence and his hand at work.I played badly, but its God who decides. as long as i gave it my all. so im working hard to improve. and im working hard to stop stage frights. and God's gotta help me! (:
During easter camp, we went to Jeremy and Alex's church OLPS. and attended a catholic mass. it really opened my eyes to how different denominations worshiped Jesus. its like some may say that catholics worshipped statues and all that, but they only venerated mary, not worshiped her. if i heard correctly that is. i mean like do you know how much respect for God the catholics seem to have?
they have like huge lines of people attending the service, and if you're among the later ones (who still come before the service starts!), you gotta stand thru the WHOLE service cos theres not enough seats, and we kneeled like 64 times during that particular mass. uncle sinchee's son, Jeremy actually counted. hahaha. anyway, the people who had no seats not only needed to stand thru the ceremony, they kneeled on the ground when we were kneeling on the padded thing. like knowing they would not get seats, why did they still come? that really amazes me. that they had this personal love for God so deep, that they'd come to church still.
well, that night robin ant me colleen dan were like busy preparing for the next day, at 2+ we were still cutting stuff, and preparing stuff. by 3+ robin colleen and dan had knocked off. only anthony and i were still writing speeches. well we slept 4+ was so tired! veeny came in the morning and bought me red bull on the way hahahaha (: so nice of thebird. gracie cooked breakfast (with unclesinchee)!
anyway, ant(taoni LOL) says i should pack robin up in a zip-lock bag and bring him home cos im so amused by him. he entertains me! and everything he does i'd laugh. HAHA. the bishop quek. soit was quite a happy easter for me, cabbed to church on sun. went to dan's chalet, ride home, good bonding time (:
jestyn asked me bout my sch like last week, and all, and i told him. i told him this is like such an awkward route but i know God wants me to learn smth. and he said alot about trust and faith. but one sentence rings like a bell,
