This was suppose to be a weekend of rest. Apparently not! Friday was madness la. Since its MY blog, i have the right to bore people with what happened.(HEY! DONT LIKE THEN DONT READ LA!:p) and i shall attempt to write in proper paragraphs this time.

8.15am -
I need to reach the bus stop every day by about 8.13am, if i want to get to school on time. The next bus comes at like 8.35 which is too late.. So on this wonderfully faithful day, i reached the bus stop at 8.09, but lo and behold, the bus came only at 8.30! rightt.. So i was resigned to the fact that i would be late, But thank God i had 1 crazy bus driver( It's a She somemore!) i managed to reach my school's bus stop at 8.55am..Ran like crazy to scan in my thumb print. Right

9.15am -
Darius was suppose to pick me at the bus stop at 915, but i called him and he said he was rushing down from office. So he reached about 930, and his voice was super bad..Had to drop by Punggol MRT station to pick Caleb, then be at Christ Church Sec Sch by 10am. Adrenaline rush man. We were speeding so fast on the highway, all i could do was help check blind spots:P

10.00am -
Reached CCSS slightly late, ran up to the chapel and did the service for the kindies. Awesome bunch! always loved working with kindies, the most responsive group. Had to leave straight after the service though, Uncle John actually wanted to let us do some abseiling and try the flying fox, pity Darius had a meeting and Caleb had lessons at 130. Wait, i'm suppose to have lessons too!

6.45pm -
The rest of the day was just spent stoning in school before the daily 530pm checkout rush and hoping to get to CCSS on time. Today we had a special guest! Gurmit Singh! the way the kids ran up to him..But he is really a very charismatic speaker. Shared an awesome testimony. And we actually had a conversation! alright so i'm suppose to be gushing about how awesome it was talking to him right? He really is a very funny person, but you know, its already so difficult being a celebrity, when your whole life is under scrutiny all the time, what more a christian celebrity! but he's a really nice guy:)

8.00pm -
Mr Singh left under much fanfare, they even had to escort him out coz the kids were absolutely swarming him! And it was our turn! we started with "You are the One", and "It is Good to Give Thanks", before our favourite, "Can't take my Jesus Away!" i must must must must say! the band totally rocked out la! it was the coolest "Can't take my Jesus Away" i've ever done! there was some crazy Santana shredding and funny syncopations going on man! More on the band later,

8.30pm -
Teaching Session! Can you imagine, it was an air- conditioned hall, but the way me and Darius sweat, you've thought we were in some desert la, Half of his t shirt was drenched in sweat, looked almost like some 2 toned shirt. Basically for teaching, Caleb and i will walk around with 2 M&M dispensers and give out M&Ms to children whom we see are behaving themselves, but it seemed like i gave more M&Ms to leaders then children la! Darius ended with some really crazy card trick which burnt a hole through the cards! Awesome trick man

9.15pm -
Ministry time, Awesome time of ministry all 3 nights.. the first 2 i helped out with ministry but the last night i played with the band. Really saw the outflow of the Spirit upon the children and leaders and the ministry time went on for at least an hour man. Once again seeing how children, at their young age, grasp what it means to love God and know that they have sinned. Faith like a child. Never underestimate them.

Alrighty, quick tribute to the worship band whom i am totally sure will never read this
Luke - Our Rocker Drummer! Like Kevin said, be the best children ministry drummer you can be!
Kevin - Custom Electric guit, and some crazy shredding! Awesome voice
Stacy - Great keyboardist who still managed to sound so good even without a pedal!

honestly these guys are sooo good, they make even Caleb and myself sound good la. The great thing about this band is that we all have control, and we listen out for one another and not just play! If ever i could i would love to play with them again!

+ Well that's that, many lovely memories but gotta compartmentalize them aside, if God willing we shall meet/ play together again, other then that get back to reality Amos.+

SATURDAY!
Met Darius and Caleb again to finalize for them some of their children's church camp material, and went to try guitars at Davis, i'm sooooo in love with this takamine, $1500! could get a timothy s7 for that price man! Ran around to buy material and logistics..

SUNDAY!
Went to help Darius at his church Centre of New Life's Children's church. Poor guy, went back to office to do work last night untill 3am! madness! then go church, ran arounf by more stuff, then go for church camp already! Helped the kindies with their colouring, i know its super biased and all but they're soooooooo cute!! kids at their age(3-7 yrs old) just tell you everything happening in their life. There were these 2 little sisters called CLIÉ (pronounced "KLEE-AY" Latin), and Cleo:) so demanding, teach me how to colour somemore! was soooo tempted to snap a photo with them but then there was so many parents there:{ later they get the wrong idea..:P

Ok long long post, at the end of it,

i want a Oakley Icon Backpack 2.0 and a GUITAR!

All you at various church camps are remembered in my prayers:) you guys need it! Press on!
