Sunday, August 5

Pure Tired

The past few days had been a few hours of sleep and being out the whole day. It has been really tiring.

3rd August
Had to wake up at 6.30 to wake my brother up and I had to wake up at 7 so my mum though why not wake up at 7 too because there was only one alarm clock working in the house and sadly mummy was away. There was suppose to be a tuition class at 8 but my mum called me up at 7.45 to tell me it was canceled. I went to school in a mess. If you didn't know, I don't have control over my temper when I'm really tired. Just a tip. Don't disturb me when I'm tired. There was thing bunch of guys who disturbed me in class[well, they always so] and well, I yelled at them. I know I shouldn't have done that and there's no excuse but I couldn't stand it. That's basically Friday.

11th SPM National Bible Knowledge Quiz 2007[CHS]
I didn't exactly sleep really early last night either[like I was suppose to]. I started my day early at 5.30. I was ushering so had to be in school by 6.30[no, I'm not complaining]. When I reached school, took a shirt and went to change. After that, I was assigned to clean the hall. I had to carry this load full of rubbish bag to the garbage store in the far end of the school. Man, my hand is aching now. All the ushers had to attend a briefing at 6.55. After we were dismissed, we were around giving booklets to everyone. I had to be at the registration counter because there was lack of people. After the registration, participants were ordered to the open area in front of the foyer to gather before they started off. After a prayer and all, participants were dismissed to their classrooms. Everything passed in a blur after that. I was in cf room most of the time, enjoying the company of few of my dear friends. I didn't stay back for the whole thing. Had to follow Cheryl back to her house and take a bath and eat then rush to youth. Today's topic in youth was "acceptance". It really hit me hard in the head when Jonathan said Calvary Youth wasn't ready to give up anything, not our clique, the feeling of being secure around our friends and maybe even 5 minutes. Most of the time, I really do try to talk to a newcomer, or maybe someone without a friend. but sometimes, I'm so caught up in my clique I forget about them. At times, we have to put ourselves in other people's shoe. How would they feel? If they weren't accepted, would they come back to CY anymore? Our leader's vision is to see CY grow, and it's up to you and I to make that come true. Jonathan, Emilia, Jen, Joel, Clarin, Christine, Se-Ken.. and the other leaders.. They're there to guide us, they can't take care of all the unaccepted in our youth group. Do remember, A lollipop is always available from Ben Toh to reach out, just ask! Choir was after that, then Ben Jin sent me to 1u[thanks again] because my parents were there. Had this boring function to attend there. I reached home at about 11 and once again slept really late.

5th
Sunday. The usual routine. Wake up, get ready, breakfast at home then we're off to church as a family. Sermon, Holy Communion, Benediction then end of service. Rush to KFC to get our lunch then got back to church for our first aid course. Our[my brother and I] last class to attend. Total of 7 classes from the 24th of June every Sunday at 1.30-4.00. And we had our practical exam today. Everyone in class had to take turns being a casualty and a first-aider. I was paired with my brother[again] and I thank God it was him because if he wasn't there I would have failed. When it was my turn to become the casualty, he was needed to massage my thighs. It's really ticklish the way he did it[LoL]. He did great I guess. 4.00.....Wow! Finally I finished my first aid course! and I was exhausted and couldn't wait to go home. Later did I know..... mum couldn't start her car[she was in Bangsar], that meant I was still stuck in church[nightmare!]. Then there was... Ben Ong to the rescue![what?!] My mum found out that actually the car battery was flat[yes, FLAT] and we had to go to a petrol station to get one. Then we took Ben's car back to my mum's car and he changed the car batt. Took round 15 mins then we were heading home! Yay! That time was already 6. After taking a bath and now I'm in front of the computer finishing this post.

Well, it's been a wonderful yet busy weekend. I thank God for giving me strength to help me throughout the whole day yesterday and today. Thank you Min, Stephen, Ben, Kel, Ben Jin, Asher, Eric, Cheryl, Rachel, Thong Ding and all, I guess without you guys this weekend, it would have been pretty meaningless. =)

Heart,
Ee Laine
