Manhood Seminar & GDOP 2008Past few weeks have been a busy period for me, even till the extent that some night I only slept at about 3-4am and wake up early the next day.. Truly it has been a very shag and tired period, but God has indeed blessed me even through tough times.. Busy with school work (FYP and Year 3 modules), church & CG commitments (Usher ministry & doing up my CG blog, target to finish at least 3/4 of the whole blog by 2nd week of June), and also within the bus community (planning & preparation of our very 1st Amazing Race adopting from the Amazing Race show in Channel 5 instead of the usual ones we had), and now, the freelance work (which will last till 1-2 months later based on assignments) & the upcoming tuition job.. Well well... I really have to "jagar" (manage) my time well and let God decide on the path that I am going to take for the next 1 year or so before my enlistment for NS..
Last Saturday, my CG brothers, together with a few of other CG brothers in other CG until the same sub-zone, went for combined manhood seminar that was organized by my CGL. Actually in 1 way or another, I am pretty honored to have Quanhan as my CGL because in this sub-zone, he's the only male CGL..
3 sessions in total, but I only went for the 1st 2, because I got to go to Causeway Point in the evening for Mother's Day dinner, and it has been quite some time since the last time we have dinner together as a family (which means must have a full strength of 5 people consisting of my parents, my elder sister, my younger brother, and myself). Coming back to the manhood topic, I really learn quite a lot from the sessions, but so sad that I cannot attend the evening one.. (Nvm I will find out more from my CG brothers who went for the evening one..) ^_^
Sunday morning, went for service as usual.. And my section (in usher ministry), were chosen for the external traffic again.. Guess what, I was chosen AGAIN to do Traffic 2 (for the 2nd consecutive week) , which is the back door for the VIP cars, the most 'siong' among all the roles in the ushering ministry.. Thank God the weather is very positive or else we would have more work to do... Went for lunch with Jia Yun and Zi Xuan at ** CENSORED: cannot say location because of Amazing Race for bus enthisiasts, if not you all will know and it's of no fun le.. ** Meet Ben later on to recee the place and then we took bus down to City Hall to meet up with XY. Together, the 3 of us went somewhere to have discussion and casual talks for a while at Kallang Leisure Park before Ben went for his Mother's Day dinner while XY and myself went for GDOP 2008 at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Inside the indoor stadium, I was quite surprised (and happy also) that 1 of my current semester classmates was there, and somemore he sat beside XY.. The GDOP event was a very meaningful one for all of us to witness and to pray as a nation.. Saw Pastor Derek (from my church) there as among the few people who sat at the stage area too, and when the speaker called up Pastor Derek to stand beside the representatives of different country people to lay hands to pray for them, I heard a loud *woo* sound and it's truly a very positive feeling..
After the whole event finished, we took some photos before we proceeded to Stadium Walk (outside Singapore Indoor Stadium) to GO GREEN WITH SMRT!! In the end we took TIB805C which bears the GO GREEN WITH SMRT advertisement to Kallang MRT Station bus stop and went home from there..
