"Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD ? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams." - 1 Sam 15:22b

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. - Proverbs 16:9


This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

reached city hall bout 1 hr late.. called dan n cy.. they were at suntec.. near carrefour.. which is e end of suntec! ah.. carrying e heavy bags, i tried to walk fast to suntec to meet them.. it's a long road thru city link n suntec! was sweating n tired n a bit breathless when i finally met them.. met them at donut factory.. while sorting e presents.. i managed to get an orea white choco donut.. as my breakfast n lunch.. haha.. den went to get e cake.. den we were lazy to walk back to e mrt station w all e stuff.. each of us were carrying at least a bag then. haha.. me: mic n jy presents n xmas gifts.. dan: emily present n e cake.. cy: nic presents.. haha.. n w our own bags.. haha.. n e taxi stand is nearer.. so we cab to marina bay station to meet e rest.. but due to road works.. e taxi driver dunno where's e road to e mrt station le.. so make one round.. den drop us off opp e bus stop to marina barrage.. in e end, we still hv to walk to station.. but after alighting from e cab, dan helped me w a bag of e present.. so nt tt heavy le.. haha.. lucky we met e rest b4 we reach e station.. haha.. den we walked back to e bus stop to wait for e bus.. waited v long.. 400 came first.. so we took 400.. while waiting, many heavy vehicles past by us.. carrying 'sand storm' over us.. i felt a gust of sand swept past my feet.. -.-

found sel at mac at marina sq.. den we head to breeks for dinner.. but all of us r still v full.. we didnt ex much.. didnt manage to play e stuff we brought cos of rain.. so all of us ate quite little.. 7 of us shared a main course.. except sel.. e place was empty when we entered.. haha.. as usual.. we were laughing n hving talking bout anything n everything.. haha.. but we had prob finishing e little amt of food we ordered.. haha.. n sel brought a cheesecake tt she made herself too! it's yummy.. haha.. well.. we managed to stay at breeks for bout 2.5hrs.. haha.. laughing all e way thru.. haha.. after tt, we went home..

it's a tiring day.. prob cos of e rushing here n there.. all e laughter, etc.. but at e end of e day, it's worth it when u noe tt e ppl u r doing tis for r happy n appreciate it.. e ya.. tired cos of laughing is a gd thing too.. haha.. v happy tt they like e presents n enjoyed themselves today..

though i m abit disappointed w e turnout.. n unhappy w myself for nt being able to give things my best.. n nt v happy w how my xmas gifts turn out.. n how things became so rush.. but.. oh well..

i really thank God for putting these wonderful ppl in my life.. bringing many laughter to me esp when tis isnt a gd yr to start off w.. barker is one of e greatest blessings in my life.. n one of my greatest joy.. do stay tgt n keep e barker spirit burning.. even to decades down e road.. thanks every1 for making today possible..

当你孤单你会想起谁
你的心情总在飞
什么事都想去追
想抓住一些安慰
你总是喜欢在人群中徘徊
你最害怕孤单的滋味
你的心那么脆
一碰就会碎 
经不起一点风吹
你的身边总是要许多人陪 
你最害怕每天的天黑
但是天总会黑 
人总要离别 
谁也不能永远陪谁
而孤单的滋味 
谁都要面对 
不只是你我会感觉到疲惫

当你孤单你会想起谁 
你想不想找个人来陪
你的快乐伤悲 
只有我能体会 
让我再陪你走一回

den after bowling, went to pizza hut to eat while waiting for christel to arrive.. ate till v full n bloated.. den we decided nt to go botanic garden but fort canning for our pinic instead.. cos it's already 3pm le.. n we meeting barker at holland v at 6pm.. so off we go.. set out our sheets on e grass n emily has a pleasant surprise for me.. she made a choco cake herself for my bdae celebration w NSWCH.. though jus 4 of us only.. haha.. v sweet of her.. though it may b a failed attempt.. e wordings on top which is 'Happy birthday Karen' is v nice.. haha.. den they made me wear e party stuff to take pics.. haha.. seriously, i think i m out of my mind.. nt my normal self.. keep doing silly stuff for my bdae tis yr.. lucky both tym, nt many members of e public around.. haha.. but it threatened to drizzle.. so we brought in our stuff to a hut n cont our pinic there.. ate chips, e cake, drank pepsi n fruits like banana, strawberry (which i did nt eat.. haha) n grapes.. haha.. talk bout stuff.. den decide to pack up n cam whore.. jump shots, emo shots,etc n head for holland v.. lyn asked us to cab down.. so 4 of us gt on a cab.. n realised tt cos we r in e city, there's surcharge.. haha.. n we were 'amazed' at how e surcharge is higher than e actual fare.. haha.. we keep looking at e meter.. cos it's peak hr.. additonal surcharge too.. haha.. n we were further 'amazed' when e actual fare n e surcharge became e same.. we tried snapping a pic of it.. but e taxi was moving.. so e pic turns out blur..

when we reached holland v, they haven reach yet.. on e way, we found out tt only dan n lyn r coming.. e rest of e barker cnt make it.. cant blame em.. cos e details of tis dinner were nt really finalised n informed to e rest.. i was a bit disappointed lah.. cos looking frw to meeting barker again.. but it turns out to b a NSWCH dinner.. so we waited for em at coffee bean.. den when they realised, realised tt brian n junyi were w em.. so they kind of bluff us.. haha.. but brian was sick.. so we got out of coffee bean n tried to decide where to go for dinner.. when outside coffee bean, emily saw a person dressed in monkey costume giving out helium ballons.. she was so excited.. her reactions were v funny.. haha.. den she got her balloons n we decided to go to 3-monkey for dinner..
