there and back again

today was a VERY hectic day. woke up at 615 to go prepare, cause was going to sentosa for the final trial run for the nike REAL run. alvin joined us today! yay. :) think mingchang was supposed to come along too but because he had some stuff on the night before till quite late so he didn't come in the end.

the run started at 8, and i tell u, i haven't pushed myself so much in a LONG time... and as a result my left knee now hurts like crazy. i think it's most probably from running on the beach for the 2.5km where i kept slipping down on the soft sand towards my left. as a result i had to stress my left leg more...

very bad.

so anyway, now even during normal walking my left knee hurts. even during class outing which was after tt and church too it hurt... aiyoh.

everything ended ard 10 and we left sentosa. rushed home to shower and change before heading out again to suntec for 2nd service at 1115. of course i was late lar. came in at the last song, but really i was glad to be in time for communion. pastor joshua led communion and i think he did it well. he just reminded me of how undeserving i was of this blessing on my own, but through Jesus i deserved every single bit of tt healing. so i'm going to believe tt i'm healed! :)

service was excellent. pastor started off a little slow but gradually he picked up pace and it just got better and better. everything just came through. was sitting with wanlin and gan cause there was class outing after church and we intended to go meet up the rest together. in the end wanlin didn't go cause she had lunch with her family (family day on sun) so i went down with gan lor.

expected the service to end at 1315 but it ended only at 1410. haha. never go 2nd before. so anyway the dim sum buffet ends at 1430, so we didn't go there to eat. caught a cab right after service to go down to meet the class just as they were finishing off the last siew mais and deep fried beancurd skins. not many pple went today anyway. 12 of us in all only, but of course it's much better than previous class outings. suppose tt not many pple are interested / busy with other stuff. most pple are back liao though and it would really have been good to see more faces around, chatting abt rubbish and abt stuff tt's happened in the past year.

cherlyn and zhengyu left after lunch whilst the rest went down to funan for a great swensen's feast. read: TOPLESS 5 GOING FOR S$1.60. at the table we ordered 7 topless 5s. well, things started to get a bit quiet there as we were waiting for our ice cream to come, and some great mind suggested playing this 'guess-my-number' game (zhong1 ji2 mi4 ma3). the penalty was a whole glass of water. which may not seem much at first, but after ur 4th cup (like urs truly), u really pengz liao. and mind u, it's ice cold. and we're sitting in a air-con-freezer ice cream palour. when the ice cream came i was already so cold liao. wah lau, still ask me to eat ice cream...

eating ice cream has never been such a torture. haha. :)

after ice cream went to my aunt's place to join them for dinner and to celebrate my dad's birthday. his is on 9th aug leh. tt's national day! how patriotric can u get. haha.

meeting eliphilet pple tml. gathering at marine cove in the morning. sigh, was hoping tt someone would be free tml but apparently not. never mind stay at home and take some time to rest. :)
