Preparations....

I have not prepared my Korea trip stuff!!! Ahhhh!!

Under alot of trials recently...and I ain't doing well. I'm being bashed repeatly.
Pray for me. I've not collapse but it's really straining on my walk with God.

Cheered up yesterday. When I'm invited to have this fun game of online drawing charade by Eunice.

Players are....Eunice , Andrew , Evie , Elisha appeared then disappeared.
Some other wait players appeared too.

It was really fun.

Well...We kept slapping each other's bum online.lol.Lame as it is, it's really funny...There was a mass slapping online with the weirdest of stop. Teddy bear , fish, remote controls. Plain weird. Hahaz.

After that, Pei Lin taught me some simple Korean! Yeah!! I was like asking How to say where's the toliet in Korea. Pei Lin was laughing non-stop. But I'm Serious! I don't wanna end up in an urgent situation and being in capable of asking for where's the toilet. Hahaz.
Had loads of laughs and learning.

Some asked me if I'm excited to go Korea.
I guess I'm kind of. After all..It's my first time traelling that far. To a place where many can only dream of going.

but....

But there is something heavy in my heart. I cannot yet tell what is it. Or maybe it is just that I do not wanna come to terms with it.

Anyway, something that burden me more is my walk with God. Same Advice that I gave to a certain someone. I'll now tell myself..

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SAY YOU WANNA BE A MAN OF GOD! YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT! DEFINE YOUR FAITH WITH ACTIONS! WORDS MEAN NOTHING!

Well I was shouting it when I told that person. After repeating it for a few days. So far only one person has heard an exasperated shout from me. Those who know my situation can guess who that person might be.

Oh ya.....I discovered another source of my lethargy. Lack of water. I've not enough water. T-T

HERE is a list of TO-DOs after my KOREA TRIP. That is to be done/settled/attend to in 1-2 day period.

1) Conservation IG Outing
2) Worship preparation
3) Remobilising of RP's Prayer and Evangelistic Group
4) Gathering of RP Christians to attend a meeting to equip them to share Gospel.

Wow...This is an understaement by the way. There are still unconfirmed work.

If there is no rest for the wicked, there is definity lesser rest for the righteous.

For now.......

Pained......

Alright...this is annoying. Took weeks...I meant months to finally sit here and type out everything that is bursting to flow out from me. And you know what? This is at a huge expense of my sleep...and people just kept interrupting !!!! Arrghhhhh!!!

There is so many things on my Calendar. On my to-dos. I felt as if life is being choke out of me. It's maddening.

Now...Where should I start?

Lets see...Church Retreat?

I cannot remember beyond that but interesting and heated things happened before Church retreat. My life have being so packed with action for quite a while.

Day 1

Gordon's Birthday!
Had drawn a card personally for him the day before. It's a T-Rex standing on a plateau in a volcanic and prehistorical environment. Pretty proud of it myself.

----Bus----

The starting of the retreat isn't really nice. It's really messy. I almost lost my temper.
A moment I thought. "Wait Yu Ki. This isn't you. What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Not everything is perfect. Mistakes do happen" I was rather shock at my temperament.

The journey to Subang ain't exactly comfortable. The bus is really hot and we had a driver who is mean to teenagers and kids but suck up to the adults. Again I almost lost control of my temper. Woahhh...Scaryyy...Wait a Minute, when did Yu Ki becomes so petty?

We watched a "super summarised" version of Gundam Destiny.(Courtesy of Don) Somehow I caught the Children's attention and......became Aunty Rachel.

Hmm....Something's wrong.

====Dinner====

Hahaz..Anyway, we reached the Holiday Villa. A rather spendid place I must say. We had Dinner. Now.... I made a resolution. Not to abandon my mother no matter how tempting it seems. So I ate with my mother. Am very grateful that Stacia , Carine and Elena joined in at our table.

Eunice dared me to go up on stage to announce my brother's birthday. I was ready , prepared. I asked the Emcee to make time for my appearance.

The moment approaches.

I got ready to walk to the stage.

The Emcee announced my brother's birthday.

(Cut)

Wait

That's WRONG!!!

I'm suppose to go on stage and announce! NOT THE EMCEE!!!

Eunice gave me her "questioning" look.

In my mind : "Awwww....what a waste.Grrr...I was planning to make public announcment that Eunice is a Bumblebee and now ....it's all gone. No use trying to blame the Emcee."

I did some gestures to Eunice . I didn't think she get it but ...welll the opportune time is over. Kairos walked right past me.

____Night____

We had some lesson ...conducted by a really hyper preacher. Rev. John Tan.
Hmmm...Honestly speaking...I'm worried about what he taught. He gave good points but he gave points that don't seem biblical. Anyway...He gave a lesson that, I believe, help alot of people.

Now....Free time into the night.

The end of Gordon's Birthday the Dawn of my Birthday.

Carrie came over to my room ( Share room with Bro! )
We had pillow fight. One thing great about my sister here is this. She's crazy enough to join in while normally, no one would. Most of it is between my brother and me. We got more fortitude, experience and skill as well as a huge dose of imagination. occasionally we hit Carrie just to see her get annoyed.

It was fun.

Then we went to Eunice Ma Ma's room. ( I call her that as she look so motherly during Global Day Of Prayer. She's also quite mature too.) But after awhile , we got kicked out.

The scary thing is this. I got annoyed.LoL. Now that I look back, it really frighten me.But it's mild annoyance. So I just sulk at my room till My bro and me pillow fight again.Hahaz...Guys...

Anyway they had prepared a surprise birthday celebration for my brother and me. SO SWEET!! I was like ..So touched.. even ashamed that I got annoyed. They also get us some not so commonly given present. Which is cool! Had a really happy night.

DAY 2

Woke up...felt cold...sleep was affected by cold.(later Mom taught us how to adjust the controls)
Bath...and was cold....Everything was cold..Hahaz. Things got better when we left to do our Quiet Time. Had a talk with Uncle Kid. Fun Guy. Need to talk to him more. I've got a feeling that he has alot to share and I'm sure I can learn alot from him.

Few people wished me Happy Birthday. You know what, I actually had hoped that someone will go to the stage and announce my birthday.Hahaz.

----Afternoon----

Shanhai Race was on!!

My team is rather pathetic at first. Only a 4-5 of us. While other teams have full strength. Sad. I think the youth should form one team. Lol. I was feeling rather individualistic at that time. I feel like that at times....it's due to the fact that I missed old times. Times where by the team consist of people like Wei Long , Liang Chen , Me . Times whereby we totally trash other teams.
Times that are long gone.

*Sheds a tear

Anyway...We got 4th. I did alot of running. Volunteering to ru nhere and there. Out group kept leaving stuff behind. LOL...Lousy Leader I was. Still I wouldn't have wanted it in any other way. I need to exert myself and that was an opportune time.

We had a visit to the gym after that.Actually suppose to accompany Stacia and Carine. Realised that those two are attempting to be a Hermit together. BUT I met Brandon and Trina and Tracy who wanna go to the Gym. I was overjoyed. More people I thought. Decided to ask Stacia and Carine to come along. Met Hazel on the way. She wanted us to go swim ....but too bad...majority voted gym. Stacia and Carine decided to remain as Hermits mediating in front of their Television with their food . Aww...i actually felt bad for abandoning them....Haiz...Can't we alll just get along? ALONG ! Get it? Never mind Personal joke.

Were joined by Elena and Eunice later. I ran the trackmail on Sandals. Oops.

Then everybody was kicked out because they are below 18....Welll everybody but me. I just turned 18. Not wanting to run with myself, I joined in to get kicked out.

+++Night+++

Nothing much happened I think. This area is clouded. I cannot remember a thing. I think we did gather but....went off early? I REMEMBER!! We played truth or truth. Josiah was behaving in a weird manner. Something between Elena and him. It was really funny. Something funny like Elena being his first target on the Hit-List(squash) and Harry Osborn next because Elena finds him good looking(Plain weird xp)

DAY 3
The day didn't matter....it was the night that matter. Plans were erected! For a fun and wild night.

The Squash Showdown Between Josiah man and the National Squash Champion produces a clear result. (Self Explainary)

Had Badminton with Stacia , Aunty Seok Hoon and Ruben.

Observation
-Without proper hydration, I had difficulty moving about. (Been Thirsty for months now)
- Aunty Seok Hoon has some skills.
** Ruben bears uncanny resemblance to Kenny.
- Stacia is still naturally cute.

Had a fun time . We taught Stacia Badminton. Hahaz

After that , there is Bowling! I had a strike! and A Spare.
Was really fun.

Shanghai Night was not really really interesting but nevertheless fun.

Night approaches...

Fun is suppose to materialised.

Person A : Person B ! Person C is coming! All thanks to Person D lor! Actually Perosn C don't know one but that Person D so stupid go ask in front of person C.(Sulking and showing resignation)

Person B : It's ok. Person C is still one one of us. Things are going to be so interesting though. We are in for a interesting night. ( Laughs to self )

Crowd soon gathers.

Person A announce person C's invasion. A chorus of disappointment, shock and dismay is observed. A wiser looking few kept to themselves and looked a little solemn.

Bell Rings !

Hearts skipped a beat. Nervously the door was opened. A few familiar faces entered.

The news was broken to them.

Bell Rings.

The Door looked venomous. Ominous . Confirmed by an intrusive voice and struck fear and worry into the hearts of those not yet accepting the fact that the invasion has alread began.

Person B moves to open the door. B might have looked eager.

B welcomes C.

C immediately whispers poison. B brushes it aside. Waited and hope that things will turn out well.

Silence stroll for a while before saying good night.

The games began.

Blind mice was it's name. Not so blind the the mice were through.

Person B to A :Watch carefully and observe. You'll see the ugly side of some people. Also you'll notice that certain people have this special characteristics and those people with such characteristic will be treated in a certain way.

Person B looks at two rather silly looking humaniods prancing in the dark.

One looked similar to a blind animal. Sniffing and pouncing on the empty air. Never quite near it's prey. A zoologist would have wondered how can this specimen survive? It does not display even a slight knowledge on handling it's environment.

If the former is deemed to be a disaster, the second blind mice is nothing short a catastropy.
Swinging arms high up to the roof, spinning and marching. One would wonder if a tribal dance would really help in catching the next person. Threats were declared by the tribal dancer but you'll conclude that the threat is far from being possible to be fulfiled.

The tribal dancer is then stoned. Or more accurately pillowed.

You can't take it. Someone needs to save that stoned dancer. Maybe the tribal Dance did work?

A Certain Mature and Capable Leader kept rising. Gave out rules . Rules to Protect.
We need more people like this.

Night Ended Late.

Fun? I was unsure.

RETREAT LAST DAY!!

Ivan wanna come on my bus!! Wee!! He looked drained. I somehow know why.
Well...Someone wanna tagged along. We are kind of unkeen of that through. Still in the end , no one change place. Sad.

That's the end of retreat.

Hmmmm...ok...Don't feel like blogging le.
