of muddy grass and MEETings

The past two days have been packed solid with stuff, but i have had a great time nevertheless, and thankfully have enough energy at the end of it all to type this...

Well even before all of that went to Sizzler with Steven to eat lunner, and we managed to last all the way from 415pm to 715pm. Or to put things more accurately, he managed to last, for towards the end i was just taking the occasional bowl of ice cream or soup, or a plate of fruit every fifteen minutes or so. Anyways, was quite good lah, haven't eaten quite a bit for quite some time. Managed to outlast the couples on our left and right who came at least an hour, if not more, after we arrived.

I suppose it's good that i stuffed myself that day, cos definitely needed all the energy i could get to last through the next two days...

So monday morning went for frisbee at ecp (east + exercise = you will prob see me there). Quite impressed that apart from some of the usual eastie suspects (Mark, Min Zhi, Bing, Ryan) there were quite a few westies too (Jon, Manting, Ming Hui). Cos if there was a westie frisbee organised at wcp, i doubt you'd see me there. Obviously the east has a certain allure that the west just lacks.

But anyways, i really enjoyed the time of fellowship amidst frisbee, even in spite of the accidental tramplings into the muddy grass (thank goodness i wore my lau pok sole-coming-out pair of old new balance shoes dating from more than three years ago when i was at sispec, so stepping into it was not that big a deal). The throw-and-catch-frisbee-while-making-an-unecessary-and-ridiculous-leap-into-the-air-a-la-smu-ad game was expecially cool...

After the frisbee session came the spontaneous kayaking session with Mark, Ming Hui and Bing. Haven't done this in ages, and it showed (and shows - oh how my body aches now). Also got a little burnt. Hmmm... On second thoughts make that rather burnt... Ow. Ah well it was fun.

I want to scale the floating iceberg thingy that i didn't know existed till that day... So cool, a floating playground in the sea, how much i want to bounce on that trampoline and play on the see-saw makes me forget how old i've become...

After that was the overnight MEET thingy which i had to trod all the way to Clementi (yuck) for. Am really glad and thankful to God to see how things are starting to pan together, and dare i say in spite of my own inefficiencies as the tl. Thank God for a proactive and dedicated team who are desirous to put Him first, in all they do. Learnt so much more about all my fellow team members, even those whom i've known since goodness-knows-when from thursday ftp cg. Even as the long-awaited (though due to the secretive nature of the whole thingy, we don't really know what to await) MEET camp draws closer, i am truly thankful for all the great ways in which He has been working in the team and how He has even better prepared us spiritually and even in terms of relationships with one another for the camp.

We are never alone, for He is always with us =)

Next few days promise a slacker schedule, at least till camp starts, but anyways hope that the time can be used properly nevertheless...

Exam results release is not far from now...

How?
