Tired. Super duper tired. Just got home from our cell group chalet. It was in fact only a 11am-7pm thingy. But I stayed over at Lilian's place last night after cell group, and then we stayed up till 245am. We were cutting and preparing the food stuffs for today's picnic. I would think that its a buffet instead.

Probably not that up to catering services kind of standard, but we do have a good variety, or at least I think.

- Fried Bee Hoon (my FIRST attempt! usually I WATCH how mum does it. heh.)
- Fried Rice (Lilian's style; really tasted better than I expected.. hehe :p)
- Sandwiches (Chicken Mayo, Ham & Cheese, Tuna Mayo)
- Seaweed Chicken
- Sotong Balls
- Prawn Balls
- Hot dogs
- Fruit Salad
- Fruit Punch (Mixture of Orange and Rose Syrup)

I think both Lilian and I really put in our best to prepare and cooked the food. We really used LOVE to cook it. It would not have turn out this well otherwise... :D

Really glad. Was with Lilian since I "knocked off" from work at about 12pm. Met her at Clementi after my appt in NUS. Went to NTUC to get the ingredients and stuffs, then went to her place to leave the food, and then to my office, I had to leave my files in office. They are just far too heavy for me to cary all the way back to wherever we are going.

Amazing thing happened at the office. Lilian & I were discussing on how we could actually go to East Coast from Paya Lebar and if we take a cab, it might cost a bit. Hence, we decided to take a cab. Since there seems to be no other way out. Had we taken a bus, we'll have to walk a long distance. I was also telling her that it might be possible if my manager happens to be in office and that if she happens to drive, we might get to get her car. It was a really last minute thought that came to mind.

Upon reaching office, I asked Shanice if SL was around. She said she just went into AO's room for interview.. Sigh.. once in, she normally wont come out for quite some time. However, amazingly, she walked out just as I thought that all hope was gone. I was delighted to see her. And upon seeing me, she asked.. "why?"

So I asked the important question! "Did you drive today?" and yes! She said yes. I asked if I could borrow her car to East Coast for a while and then return her later, she simply asked, "now?" I said yes and she passed me her car key from her bag! Amazing! Praise the Lord! :D

I jumped for joy and I ran to the locker room and showed Lilian the key. We were both simply too rejoiced for words! Heheheh.. it might sound somthing silly or nothin much, but to both of us at that moment, we really were very very happy! Hence, without further delay, we jumped to our feet and make a rush for the door. And bid Shanice goodbye as well. Heh.

But something stupid happened again. As I was making my way out of the car park, the wheel hit the cashcard kerb, where I was supposed to exit, and some of the paint came off and stuck on the the rim of the wheel. Sigh.. I had a bad scare man! I thought something else was being damaged. It was not until we reach East Coast that we had a check and realised that it was just a wheel. God's protection! :D

We checked in at the chalet, had a good number, K3. Very near to the reception and we have a K3 brothers in our cell group as well.. (Kean, Kenneth and Kelly) So it was rather easy for us to remember, and the most important thing is that its so near to the main entrance. Made it easier for people to come. Heh. We settled down a while, said a little prayer in the place and then we went to rent some tables for our food and drove back to Office.

Returned SL the car key and bought her Teh-Si from the coffeeshop at Eunos. But then, she was in a hurry, and I think she don't really drink take-away drinks as well. She didn't drink that. So sad.. but nevermind, there'll be a chance to repay her! :D

So glad to have such a manager like her. Words can't describe how much I really like her and I'm really so touched and blessed. Hahaha.. it might seem a silly and small thing, but to me, it really means a lot! hee.. :p

Lilian and I then made our way back to Clementi, had our first meal of the day, we fasted fully from 6am-6pm. But in fact, I haven't been eating since 7pm the previous day. So it was almost a 23 hour fast for me. Hehe. We had Pork porridge at the famous hawker at clementi, and then head off to get the rest of the stuffs that we need and back to her house again, left the stuffs and then to Normanton Park for cell group meeting.

Had a good meeting. Went back to Lilian's place again, prepared all the necessary ingredients till 245am as I mentioned earlier, and then take a short nap. Yes. I call it a nap. Cuz we only closed our eyes for 4 hours. But we were all deadbeat that we all really fell into a deep sleep. Huizhen was at Lilian's place as well.. we had a pretty good time sharing and fellowshipping. Guess we should have more of this, but maybe not all the time. Heh.

We started cooking again from 7am... all the way till about 1030am. It was rather rush as Jonna, Keith & Wai Sum came at.. I also don't know what time. Maybe it was 9am then? No idea. Too busy cooking then. Hehe.

But we managed to complete everything, had a bath and head off to East Coast again, in 2 separate cabs and then we had a waiting period. Supposed to start at 11am. But we reached at 1140am? Waited till about 1plus before we really started to have our lunch, and then to play the games. It was rather fun. Think we had about 4-5 games, and I guess all of us had fun. Hehehe.. nice nice.. :D

But I'm soooooooo tired now. And I'm amazed by the amount of things that I've typed out. I can't even think properly to reply a good sms now. Just got a sms from Lilian, thanking and and telling me that she really enjoyed the 11/2 days we had together, and getting to know me better. Heh. It was fun. Got to know her pattern also. Hehe.. I think it was a really good week for me.

Tomorrow wont be too easy for me as well. Gotta go church, and then come back to do what I was supposed to do today. Yes, vacuuming and mopping and changing of the bedsheets. Sigh.. gotta go hang the clothes now. Mum didn't even wash the clothes while I was out for 2 days. What I wore on Thursday is still in the pail. Threw all into the machine earlier, and I guess its done now. Gonna hang the clothes, and then ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................... :D
