Died on Sunday

Today(or rather yesterday) was the day that I died man seriously. In the end I only slept for 1 hour last night. HAHA! Woke up like a zombie to wash up and get ready for tuition. I could see all the complicated blood vessels in my eyes like super red which kinda reminded me that God is really a very detailed God. Haha okay nvm that's quite random.

Okay first let's talk abt tuition and let me describe to you how fantastic the P5 boy was.
-He did his vocabulary MCQ without knowing a single word in the choices
-He didn't know how to use a dictionary
-His grammar exercise only got 4/10
-He couldn't differentiate between 'cross' and 'across'
-He didn't know what's prepositions
-He couldn't spell the word 'example'
-And many more...

I scolded him quite badly and he almost cried at the 'cross' and 'across' part. Well he almost died 'at the cross' too. Haha ay I think I really gotta work on my patience man.
Aiya but good thing is he improved alot on his synthesis and transformation, last time he got 0/5 but today he managed to get 4/5. Haha ok la not so bad.

Today MinOps outing was great, just that I was too tired and didn't bother explaining how I didn't sleep well last night and all. Despite the heavy clouds, God still managed to hold back the rain at the beach after a while. Glad that Ethan really enjoyed himself at his last CG though I couldn't be there for long. So sorry! :( Anyway all the best in Tertiary man!

Another thing at the outing was that I managed to get to know this guy that Sherman brought to svc yesterday. His name is Qizhi which kinda sounds like 'flag' or 'chinese chess' HAHA. And he plays guitar! Then me and Simon went like 'YES! Woohoo~!' I wanted to 'OOSH!' but that's so Qianjin LOL! Anyway hope Qizhi can join our meat club soon then he can be beef steak or something since he's quite big. LOL erm no offence! Oh btw Simon is hotdog, Sherman is bacon and I'm err ham. Yeah coz Jiayi started this whole 'Kaiwen look like hamburglar right!' thing the moment I stepped into this group. Hahaha! Oh well guess I gotta change specs soon.

Last thing before I knocked out today was the guitar lesson. Jonquek, Gavin, Limin, Dingcheun and Darren came down. Taught them more chord progressions and some basic plucking. AND DARREN IS SERIOUSLY GOOD NOW. Haha well to consider the fact that he had zero knowledge of guitar when I first started this lesson. Within a short span of 4 months he had tremendous improvements man. His strumming is very steady and chord transitions are very smooth now. Continue to work hard man! Haha yay and thank God for all the rest who worked hard as well! Like Gav, Jon, DC, Siewluan, Limin, Qinning, Kat and my SHEPHERD! You guys rock! :D

After the lesson I just knocked out totally until 2am. Haha I should go and slp somemore now. Nights people!

Insomnia

Suffering from insomnia again hence decided to come back to my com. Alright just set up a new blog.

Let's talk abt my day today(or rather yesterday). Went for Raphael's grads meet before svc. We had games, worship, teaching and subsequently the guys were separated from the girls for some NS talk. Well to sum it all up, the feeling was kinda bittersweet like what Raphael said. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were serving together as a JC group, and in a flash people are gonna transfer and move on to a new ministry. I think I could roughly comprehend that same feeling. Oh well. Guess we all have to grow up and do greater things for God.

After svc I went to join NYSR's grads farewell dinner at some Jap restaurant. It turned out to be the restaurant that I almost worked in but I just couldn't find the stupid place that time. Haha ay nvm that's not important anymore. At the dining table I was really glad to see new faces, people like Sikuan, Zhenzhi, Michelle and Jiajia. Thank God for the group for working so hard throughout the pioneering period and therefore God blessed them with fruits. Like what my ex-shepherd said before, new people would mean new challenges, new issues, new breakthroughs, new friendships and hence new experiences. Just wanna take some time to offer my prayers to the new NYSR group. May God be with you guys.

My last agenda at the dinner was to talk to my sheep. Made an excuse to get him along to withdraw money with me at Centrepoint. Hope I spoke some sense to him today. Anyway, will really miss this fella who sticked with me throughout my JC life. To me you're definitely more than just a sheep, you're a friend who listens and understands. You have added so much strength to the group ever since I transfered and I sincerely believe that God will also use you greatly in the NS ministry. Mark my words: BE A SHEPHERD THERE! AND BE A CL SOON! :D Love you sheep. Be good there eh? Haha.

Alright I should really go to sleep now. Gotta wake up at 7.30am tmr to give tuition and that's like 2 hours away. After that there's a Minops CG at SENTOSA. Yes if I don't sleep now I'm really gonna die tmr. Haha alright bye.
