Well...fishing was fun in a way. I caught the fishes....got a new record for myself...a 3 KG fish!
The weight is not impressive but the fish is longer than my arm!!! it's Twice the length of my elbows to my hand. AWESOME!
I caught the Longest fish in the Competition....but the competition is based on the heaviest fish...so...the shorter and flatter sea basses won out. Sobs....

The White Cat
Alright ! Today ! I'm gonna talk about a fan of mine!
THE WHITE CAT!
It's really a cat....in fact it is one that gave me quite a bit of problem traveling around.
I first met this kitty when it's just a small teenage cat. Even then, it took a liking to me and start chasing after me just to rub it's head on me. HAHA. It has another scary habit....which is to try sharpen it's claws on my jeans....the way cats do it on tree....Needless to mention, that brings about much panic.
Recently, I've discovered that it can jump very high. About my height. How I found out? It's one of those days I had trouble getting rid of it. So I drop it down some ledge of the carpark. It's about 1.5meters. It came back up with out much issue... So after a few tries, I jump off the ledge with it. I moved to a ledge higher then me...I intend to climb it and let the cat walk the whole trip out but that kitty....jumped..1.60 + meters!!! I gave up and returned to the more conventional method. I looked for a pillar and played the indian game till the cat lost me.
HAHAHA...Ok That's all for that White Cat...
Mew Mew!

Woke up tired.
Finally paid my Retreat fees.
We went to Vivo to eat. CARL's Junior. Choosing a place to eat is really difficult. Because....well... people like me are content to live on market food but well... the crowd depends a more presentable place...so... we did a vote.
1) Pasta Mania
2) Sub Way
3) Carl's Junior
4) Waffles something
5) Sakae Sushi
After the food we went to the Arcade. Well.. we almost played catching...arh...but that's not an everybody's thing. wasted...looks like that will come only during Christmas or new year countdown stay overs or December camps. I WANNA PLAY CATCHING!
No one understands the game or relish it as much as I do.
Went back with Stacy, Stacia and my bro. Wanted to check out the National Geographic Shop...check halfway and then the parents of the Stas' called. So we gotta go back. Awww.... Have not seen finish the entire store which is pretty intriging.
Stopped by the Candy Empire Shop where the girls purchase jelly beans. Well... Learnt that jelly beans can be something fun and entertaining.
Got to mom's place where there is steam boat to tackle but due to the Juniors of Carl, I cannot eat. Too full. =D
Looking forward to L4D tomorrow and Movie...Work Load is piling up but I'm determine not to do work till 15 june ends...oops ...Sorry..people.

The Retreat.
11 June -13 June
The Grand Escape.
This was the first time the word Retreat meant anything to me in the retreats.
Well...retreats are meant to be fun and really enjoyable for me. Well it still is but this time I was a little desperate. I really wanted the retreat. Really wanted to just get away from singapore and to get away from all the thing and busyness.
This retreat was a rather short one but nevertheless I had great fun. Especially with the Chinese ministry kids and youths. Winnie the Tan, Daniel, Magdalene, Benjamin, Kai Kai, Evans and siblings and Rui Hang. I also got alot closer to them. Along side with Clarence, Samantha, Jonathan(Finally spelled correctly). It's also the first time in my retreat life that I made a decision to not stick the the usual more "noisy" group. I went instead to meet the other youths. It's really rewarding. Even ate apart from the norms. But I had more fun =D.
I learned alot of significant things as well as have loads of fun. Here are some of the accounts.
Day one
Went Swimming. I should have went earlier. The Keys to our room takes forever to come. I was delayed like 1 hour plus before I pick myself up to go and swim. Swimming was...wow...fun as always except...that this time I'm being mobbed by the kids and youths. Andrew, Darius, Zenneth, Matthew, Damien, Winnie the Tan, Samantha, Jonathan, Denise and Even Benjamin with his water gun. Darius, Andrew and Zenneth took turns to climb on top of me so that they can ride on me and attack the rest. HAHAHA. Am still the best carrier =D. It's a long time since I had water fun so drank quite a bit. Yuck.
Winnie the Tan and Denise are the occasional ...let me stress the word occasional victims of my waves. Haha. Water Fight!
The most dangerous pair that almost killed me are the siblings Jonathan and Samantha. The unlimited bunch of energy that attempted in all ways in incapacitate me in the swimming pool. Haha...they have no limits. They just keep coming and coming and coming.
But I had fun =D. Pillow Fight was cancelled in the night. Awww...Watched Chicken little with Stacia, Carine, Clarence and Jonathan instead. Then my maid Carine dirtied my pillow with her cakes!
Tsk Tsk.
Day 2
Feeling sad that we are halfway through the Retreat but that does not dampen the fun. =D
When Jutsco for shopping! The Uncle Kid and a few youths wanted to watch a movie. So do I but unfortunately, there was no good timing. However, I spent the 3 hours alone in the shopping centre (Never happened before) ....why? Cos I rushed off when we hit the shopping centre. My objectives are clear. 1 present for my brother, 2 presents for my friends. I scoured the Cinema for the presents and when everything was done, I realised that my phone died and I cannot communicate with anyone!!
~Fatality~
(The total domination or shut down of an object or person.)
So I begin to wander around... Looked at more things and I thought....let's buy something for myself with the 55 Rm I have left over... I walked and walked ..and walked and walked....to my horror....I realised that I do not know what to buy. I realised that nothing interest me.
Hmmm...I began to think...Have my live become only YFC stuff? Hahha...I walked the Arcade. Was not really interested. Met Matthew and Jurgen or Jordan there. Played Some motorcycle game and daytona. Did not too badly but later decided to give away my coins cos I do not know what to play in the arcade.
Then I approached the Harris Bookstore...Looks like Popular. Well...I decided to see if my childhood interest can catch up again. To my disappointment, there are no books similar to the kind of books I loved to read. The closest thing i can find is a kids book. "A Dragonologist Book". SO I brought it. Can't think of anyway to spend. Pretty depressing. Hahhaa. It's quite Ex but well...it comes with figurines so it should be worth it. =p
After the shopping came a really fun time. RETRO NIGHT!!!
Wow...for the past few months I've been lamenting how come my church ain't as cool as other churches that I've visited but that night, I remembered that my church is that awesome also....we have so much so much awesome people in church also.
Saw a side of Paul and his mom that I've never seen. Karen and Johnathan made great host. Can't stop laughing. Uncle Chee Meng is in his usual mood lifting stunts. AND CHRIS AND BERNICE OUR RETRO MODEL ARE JUST HOTT!!! WOOOTS!
HAHAHHA... Phew... they both may have taken second place but I think they are the best! =D
Eating with Winnie, Yang Kai and my bro is great fun too. Yang Hui is super funny with her super sensitiveness. And again I was mobbed by the kids that wanted to climb on top of me and make me a horse. Hahha...but this time I had Zhen Wei who is twice my size attempting to ride me too! AHHHH!!! PIYATTED!!!
Such an event cannot go by without me shining. Didn't know what possessed me...but I actually went up to compete with the games. Something that also had never happened before. The thing I compete is Limbo. Something that you got to bend backwards and go pass a horizontal pole which will get lower. Note that I do not know what I'm competing in till I got on stage. Hahha...The thing is this the competitors only consist of one person taller that me, one person...slighty shorter than me....and a horde of children around half my height...there was even a revival round for other teams to send in more kids... BUT I WON!! WOOOTS! It's my first time playing that too!!
It was something that made me famous overnight. Sorta Acheived the impossible. =D
Then if the Retro Night was not enough, the structured experience made the day worth it's cost.
We are put in an underground church situation where by we need to gather people to pray while avoiding the authorities. I was a pastor gathering the "Fellow Christians" around to pray.
I learnt alot...about being Organised, about Fear, about Duty, About standing up above Loving a fellow Christians and I am humbled.I realised also how much YFC has strengthened me. I realised that our youths ma not seem like it but they are strong people for God.
I am ... really humbled and I realised how small I am . I may have been given much but in their own ways, they have been given much.
The night again was a failure to properly meet. Ended up with Stacia/ Carine/ Joshua/ Pamela / my bro watching funny things on the net.
Day 3
Was Late...Arrghh...someone saboed my bro's alarm clock. Still we rushed down for lesson and yeap. Ate Lunch with the Chinese people again. It was a tight squeeze for all of us but it is really enjoyable.
The bus ride home ain't deprived of fun too there is UNO and UNO and more UNO!
Hmmm...Fun.

Even if I'm gonna fight alone for God, I'll fight.
Been really affected by lies and betrayals recently...
Really hurted.
I guess that must me how God felt like how I'm treating Him recently.
To think of it... have not been really loving God. Even through I'm serving in some really "chiong" ministry.
Still I want to thank God for being really loving and forgiving. To pursue me and show me where I erred. In fact for the past few days, the difficultly of the work load realy made me feel like crying. The Christians are really dissappointing and the betrayal is really painful to bear especially when I'm bearing it alone and without God... Which is the silliest thing to do right here and now. Fighting the war without your commander.
Met Kiko at the MRT station. That something God used to cheer me up! Always loved meeting people I know from the streets. Even in the morning Uncle told me he saw me walking to work! =D
Was invited to play badminton by the parents of the kids I played with in the Chinese Ministry. Had a really fun time play badminton. The kids are really cute. Especially this youngest but pro-est badminton player. They keep screaming while hitting the ball...and for serving? They just threw the shuttlecock over the line and giggle as if it's the funniest thing on earth. It's amazing how they can keep doing it and still find it funny. =D
Got trashed in Wii by one of the kids. Awww....I really suck at Wii....Got trashed by Sunny and Olivia on Fri and Sat. Sadded. Yeap...
Playmax is coming. Pretty shakened here but I know God is above all. The Christians are still dead....but you know what....even if I'm gonna fight alone for God, I'll fight.
