Goooood Friday! =)
Got up earrrly in the morrrrning and headed down to EXPO Hall 2 (not to the John Littles' Sale la!) Roamed around aimlessly cos it was 9.20 and the service started only at 10. hahaha. Saw quite a few people/old but young faeces (oops) i meant FACES. This time I got Martin's email address before I did anything! Lots to catch up since Pri 4 man. Tsk tsk.
Sang lots of hymns and many unknown songs to us youth. Only the last song was something familiar to us so all our hands were raised in worship. Interesting.
The message was great. By David something from London. He started off with some funny stuff so that got hold of my attention. He spoke on Jesus as the Powerful Rescuer when he died for us on the cross, which is what Good Friday is all about. Passage was Romans 5:1-11.
"Jesus appeared to be the essence of human weakness and he looked pitiful on the cross, but what looked like defeat was actually the greatest victory when evil was banished once for all." Satan has already lost and is fighting a losing battle!
KJ didn't come cos of netball; Charmaine didn't come cos she was LAZY; Damian couldn't come cos he had to go visiting.
Anyway, met up with people from the EP camp 2 years ago =) all of them look fabulous ya! -wink- went for lunch at Changi Museum. Had soft chell crab burger but I couldn't enjoy it cos it was 1.45pm by the time my food came and I was supposed to be at Plaza Singapura by 2.30pm latest!! "Irritating right... food so shiok but cannot enjoy cos at the back of your mind you know you need to rush like mad..." -quote Bryan. Waited in the rain (with umbrella) for ages for a stupid taxi which almost never came til 2.05pm. Pouring like siao. Chionged (the driver, at least) to PS while I dozed off in the cab. Reached there at exactly 2.35pm but KA wasn't there yet so I went to pee first -_-
Anyway, watched ICE AGE 2 with Manda (bimbo #5), Jess Lau (bimbo #1), Shermine (bimbo #7), Clara, Yi Jing, Alvin, Er Hao, Wei Neng, Kin Chung, KJ and KA! 12 3e1 kias so shiok for what mania right. Had 'popcorn fight' just before + after the movie. hahahaha. It was hilarious, you should go watch it. Now I feel so bimbo for saying sloth was a tiger (cos dom described it as the one with fangs and tiger was the closest relation i could find to something with fangs. turned out sloth was the weird... thing.) but at least I knew Ally wasn't really a possum!
So headed to the arcade and wasted a lot of money. I bet you we wasted a lot on trying to get a stupid stuff toy for SHERMINE. And then wasted more money on Mariokart which is a stupid game. Time Crisis/House of the Dead/Daytona/Percussion Freaks would be more worth it. Bleurgh. Stupid waste of money.
All the rest went off so KJ, KA, Shermine and I stayed. Took some neoprints which are REALLY nice. All the crap la =D Less people, can write more rubbish. KA could even draw his trademark ALIEN. And I put a red dot on KA's forehead so he disowned that neoprint. Hilariousity.
Headed back to Pasir Ris with them (though I could take train to Punggol). crapped and took lots of pics on the way back. Hahaha. Funny la. KJ looks retarded when he smiles/doesn't smile. Conclusion: KJ looks retarded. That's an overstatement already! hahahaha. No la, he looks better "beng". Had this stupid thing about him being a vainpot (after influence from Shermine) to keep looking into MIRRORS. hahaha. Company was great la today. I loved the time we spent together, all the 3e1 kias =D
On the way back, I got a call from Damian.
Damian: "Hey Marianne? What time is your church service?"
Me: "Uh... it was in the morning..."
Damian: "Oh, ok then, never mind!"
Me: "Why, you wanted to come?"
Damian: "Yeah, but I wouldn't have been able to go in the morning anyway. Thanks!"
Something like that. Wahhhh, I was so so disappointed :( after that la. Cos the message was really, really good. One of the best I've heard. Excellent content + delivery, especially for non-christians. So I really thought it was a waste that he wanted to come but missed it. Really wasted. Really disappointed. And he can't come on Sundays cos he's got sailing.
But it's ok, I'll continue to pray. At least he's got interest, which is really important! God will make a way, when there seems to be no way... :)
Knowing about Christianity isn't enough, you need to do something.
Board the bus.
