a fun Sunday with oikos!

woohooo! yesterday was awesome! it's a Sunday like never before!

i came to church 20 minutes late. was watching P.S. i love you on the net last night until i fell asleep halfway the movie. btw i haven't started my EDDA prep yet. =.='

a malaysian pastor came to preach. at first, we were all excited for her. then, in the middle, val and i got very sleepy. like what she said didn't make sense. but later towards the end, she got me excited again because it's healing time!

we shifted the seats towards the corners and got the middle area open for people who needs prayer. of course i was one of them. cause we were hungry for the Lord! almost all went to the front.

we were told to speak in tongues. more more more and more. i only spoke for barely 30 seconds and started to weep. i wept and wept. i didn't understand why. but i just wept. the Holy Spirit made me wept that day. but i don't blame it cause i am sure there's a reason as to why my spirit inside is weeping. so it's good opportunity for me that Sunday. then after she went around to touch us (for prayer of course), she asked people who need special healings to come forward. then i came forward, knowing one thing on my mind. i got a problem. i need help. so i walked up front and suddenly she said. 'lay your hands on the part that you need healing for.' then i realized that she meant physical healing, not emotional healing. i wanna retreat back but later decided to just stay and asked her to pray for my FEAR all this while. i think i am the first to specify a need regarding the emotions. then slowly after me people started coming up front to have emotional healing as well. a girl actually tapped me on my shoulder and asked whether she could have that too. i told her of course she can. but she didn't later because the lady asked about a person needing healing for a backache. well, crying definitely helps. i felt better that day, even til today. (=

after church at 2, all of us went to eat at Gara Rica. this indo restaurant at dorcas st. the food was really yummy. felt like i was back home at indo. (but the waiting time was terrible) many people came with us. there's anthony, ko any, ko robert, wil tegal, ko wil jauw, olive, tiff, sal, val, roselyn, steven, ilona, ko arwin, jinsern and lots more! i felt really blessed that day to be able to join them for lunch that day. i had loads of fun!

then, we went to ko andy's place for our church meeting. ko mario led the discussion for our picnic party. i chose the name for the picnic. it's called 'Summer Delight'! itsn't it cool? and we intended to wear the same color clothes on that day! we decided on looooaaaads of food and drinks like Sushi, sandwiches, pasta, biscuits and TEA2? it's this tea that ilona made for us during oikos. it tasted really fantastic. too good to be a tea! >.<>

after the meeting at 7, i followed Sally to her place to get her tennis racket. waited for her outside in the living room where Ruby and another Jap girl were studying in "darkness". there's barely any light! i volunteered to switch on the light for her and she said she preferred the dark environment. lol! so weird. anyway, then we chatted about her past birthday event and halloween. she got rejected by the guard at the bar! poorthing!

anyways then, we went back to Verve. as we walked back, Sally and i catch up on the happenings in our lives. i told her the time when i got caught by the police officer in singapore for bringing pirated dvds to singapore. and she made me re-tell the whole story to byron and jinsern when we met them later. oh well.

went down to the tennis court and steven and his friend were there. steven is sally's twin brother btw. tufan is his friend and he is Turkish, but studied in Indo for long time. so he could speak better indo than me! how embarrassing! the wind was really cold so ko wil jauw told me to get into the gym for some warmth. i carried some weights for some exercise. really realised i have not been going gym for 3 days already. )=

i chatted with ko robert while watching them play. i think he is really nice. nice friend that you can curhat to. i didn't play tennis cause i was wearing flats and my tennis skills were nothing compared to the pros they were that day. ended up taking pictures with ko andy, ko robert and ko wil jauw. ko andy also piggy-backed sally. haha. we dared him carry her around the court but in the end had to stop because ko wil jauw "korek2" him at his backside. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! so funny.

we went up at 9.30pm plus plus. when we got back to the apartment, i helped ilona to shape the meat into round balls to be fried. val was frying and wil tegal was panfrying the veges. i cooked the rice early at around 8pm! but it was not enough as there were so many people. but it's the not enough food that makes eating so seru!!! hahaha. everyone had to compete for food. (=

sally took photos for us too. i played daidi and bridge with byron, jinsern and ko wil jauw. byron and i kept winning! hahahaha. we had good cards always. (= then i played some guitar too. but forgotten the lyrics for bubbly song. )= while we played, sally, steven and tufan fell asleep on the floor and sofa. so sweet. like little babies.

at half past 11, we went to meet the extravaganza peeps downstairs of Arrow Hotel. janice bought a cake for filia. yep. it's filia jani's birthday!!! 20th! but many people think that she is only 16 because of her height and petite body-frame. lols. good to be young~ we took pictures with the extravaganza peeps later, with the help of a man at the reception. i think he is annoyed by us all when we were making so much noise but had to help because it's his job. saw the general store uncle at the reception too! what a surprise!!! (= he was collecting mail as well. haha.

i went back home at half past midnight ytd. i was out the whole day! was tired but more of happiness and gratefulness before i slept. all this wouldn't be possible without the Lord God Almighty that provides, shelters and loves me. Hallelujah!
