Last night in Singapore.
I'm still unwilling to leave.
Yesterday was pretty cool. Was going to crash school but didn't in the end cos I forgot I had something else on. Anyway I went there after school was over to meet Andrea, Abby, Dew and Alison to go to Jan's place for (their) cell. Cheryl was there too. Met Kenneth Tan in the foyer before everyone else got there. He looked pretty shocked to see me, and told me I'd changed a lot. Saw Balps too. And Ruth and Val and Grace and Sophie. Hardly gotten to spend any time with you guys ='( Well I'll see you tommorrow at Grace's place yeah.
Pretty long train ride down to Tampines. I was glad to find I could still talk to Andrea. Gonna miss you loads, girl.
Cell (or homegroup, as it's otherwise known in Aus) was
really good. Started off with icebreakers. Then we had a time of worship which was so simple really (all of us standing in a circle and just Ming on guitar), but so great because God's presence was so strong. He literally took my breath away. It was so awesome. Then Shaun led us for bible study on Leviticus. I was surprised that something interesting could come out of a book of law.
Afterwards had dinner with Ray, Shawn, Ming and Sherman at Tampines Mall.
Met up with Abby, Mus, Jan and Drea again today. Went for dinner with Velda, whom I cannot believe is already 19!!
It's been great, guys. Thank you all
so much. And to my new God-sent(!) friends:
Shawn - Thanks for everything, man. For the messages, for the long call, for bringing me to Megalife and for being a great friend. You're the 'oldest' sec 3 guy I know despite all your lame jokes! :P Continue walking close to our Lord yeah. All the best in your new cell. It'll work out. And go join a CCA! Haha. Here's wishing you *ahem* _ _ _.
Ray - Why do I feel as if I've known you forever? Thanks for trusting me and for being so easy to talk to. And for always making me laugh =). Remember that you will
always have Somewhere to go and Someone to turn to yeah? He's on your side. You'll be doing great. Don't stress the exams yeah. Or kill yourself with all that training. And studying. As if you even need it, RI boy.
Aaron (that's Air-ren, not Eh-ron. Heheh.) - Been cool knowing know dude. You're really funny, you know that? Anyway thanks for just loving God the way you do, cos I've been encouraged by your faith though you call yourself a 'baby christian'. :P Catch you all again next year!
I'm gonna miss Singapore ='(
I still got heaps to say to everyone. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe the day after. Maybe someday.
