Mariella, Mariella!
Woke up this morning with a red, happy face smiling at me in the mirror!
I looked like an An Pan bun, you know the ones they sell at Bread Talk? Yeaaah!
I wonder how many times in my life have I woken up feeling this energetic and ready to grow deeper in love with God.
Even if it isn't Sunday, I shall live life like it's Sunday everyday!
God has been reminding me that I should put my good intentions into action, and to stop locking them inside my head.
Because after while, I forget about them.
D:
The Sentosa outing with my church friends was THE BOMB, baby!
Everyone looked out for each other, and everyone had fun!
The Sun wasn't that bad, I didn't get sunburnt, just really really red.
The Sec Ones and Twos went, and when we get together, we have the best fun of our lives!
The LUGE was crazyxzxzxz, I loved that one.
I felt as if LOH LI LING COULD DRIVE.
I won John the first time round, then Cara, Ryan and John overtook me on the second time round.
It was fun shit, and I thanked God that I could spend that moment with the BEST church friends, not forgetting you, Charmaine!
Worship under the shady trees made me come back to the heart of worship.
You could feel God listening to us sing; that He was delighting in us with every word we sang unto Him.
God wasn't the only One, there were a few Indians who stood around our circle to watch too.
And the verse Lawrence shared at cell later let God speak to me.
Worship isn't something you use to make into a performance, or to show the hot guy next to you how sexy you look while doing that (LOL), but it's really for God.
Whether you kneel or whatever in front of everyone, it's for the Lord, and He deserves your whole heart's submission to Him.
I guess when I see people kneel, clap their hands, dance around or just being different from the others, it encourages me to worship God in my own special way too.
Even by breaking out in tongues, yeah!
Worship at Sentosa was awesome, it made me think A LOT about everything.
Like the word "surrender".
Yeah. Then we broke up into groups to do our reflection.
Me, Cara, John, Ryan and Lawrence sat on the rocks, which Lawrence and I scrambled down after knowing there was some really huge lizard behind us.
I talked to God by writing the answers to the reflection questions onto the sand with my finger and Lawrence's funny looking spoon+stick.
I wrote SORRY! on the sand. I'm sure He could have seen that.
Ian Tatt was talking about building his city on some meandering stream.
It was funny, because we had to ask him to Shhh! before we could concentrate again.
So in the end, we ended our thinking and went about imagining where we'd build our homes on the bank of the stream.
Cara found air bubbles in the water, and she figured out that there were crabs living in there.
So that was when the crab-catching frenzy came about.
Saw Adel and her brother swimming with their classmates too :D
THE CRABS ARE SOOO CUTE.
They're like tiny, clingy creatures which run about on your skin.
I dropped our first crabby friend and Cara got crazy and screamy and all.
Then there it was, twitching.
She had stepped on our crabby friend and had made it into a crabby patty!
But whatever, Lawrence buried it alive and we stood there, laughing our sadistic asses off.
Joel the silly 18-year-old was making John feel emo-er by the minute by blowing into his silly 18-year-old harmonica.
I sat there listening and I couldn't stand it anymore, so we went to explore some more.
Lifeng, Cara, Lawrence and I swam over to the opposite shore and back.
The water was salty, and I hated the seaweed which were tickling our toes in the water.
I felt as if something was ready to pull me down.
"Then I shall never see the sun ever again!" *AHHHHHHHH!*
We took photos in the water. I must get photos from Ca-chiang!
I guess the day ended when we walked back to the coarse-sand-beach.
Ryan Koh seriously made me do this face -> D:
Like he was standing there happily, waving back at us in the train when his stop was Newton.
HAHAHAH. Such a nut.
John's parents sent me and Cara back to my house.
Oh gosh, I tell you, John has the COOLEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD.
His Mum is like some joker!
I said I had a rubberband tan, but Cara said it was just an indent.
John's Mum was like:
"Ahahahah! Then the rubberband will cut off your blood supply, and your hand will get rotten, and it will drop off! Ahahahha!"
Cara and I were like O.O HEH!?!?
I wonder what John and his Dad were thinking with three ladies roaring with laughter in the car.
I couldn't believe what John's Mum was saying, I've never ever heard a parent talk like that before.
That was soooo not Singaporean man.
Oh well. Then 7.30 came, and Cara and I went to church to meet Lawrence for cell worship.
We got full on gummies, led worship with Lawrence, and noticed Ian Cheong's Donut tee-shirt.
John has got the world's funniest family, they're like The Simpsons in personal.
After cell worship, Charmaine, Cara, Lawrence and I cabbed back to my house for "cell", supposedly.
John came over too, and we ate Canadian pizza for dinner.
Shared funny videos on Youtube and updated each other about one another.
I love heart-to-heart talks.
Especially with my church friends.
I'm glad I've got them in Heaven with me, as well as Angel Ng that silly mama too!
I was singing in the toilet this morning.
Since we're all made in the image of God,
Imagine how Heaven will be like: Free Broadway musicals everyday!
And not only that, I want Indie and Alternative Rock songs on air too.
I guess Heaven isn't only the place to see God,
But it's a place to reflect and to ask God where we've done wrong in life.
It's a place where you get to relive the best memories all over again,
And the only place where you return to after a tiring day : Home.
Thanks Lord, that I'm placed under the category of "God's People".
Love You!
(pictures will be uploaded soon. ahaha yes. Jesus loves ya, reader!)
