Saturday, June 18, 2005whoa. rather tired. today was fun although had to wake up early. as usual we were all waiting for josh at the station and he msged john to say that his dad will be sending him there. wahh. waited for u. kok wai to pick us up and we reached our destination! yay! ok. anw yeah played badminton for like a couple of hours and then we headed off to the squash court to make some orange squash. ok out of point. played squash for the first time and john whacked the ball out of the court. great start. squash is a nice game once you get the hang of it. haha. well had lunch then the 3js and i went to happyland. haha. happyland is a playground that made all of us feel like 6 year olds again. we climbed all over. sat the swings until we heard a creak and we zao-ed cos we were afraid it cldnt take our weight. four of us then squeezed onto a bridge like thingy and sat there. then john suggested doing a drill thing just in case the bridge fell so we were timing how fast we could get out of it and james was the last cos joshua blocked the passage. stoops. he's a rather slow guy so yeah cant blame him. did the drill and went off to do other silly stuff. were fooling ard when john spotted the manager walking towards our direction. all of us tried to hide from him but turned out that he was going to the office. oh well. got onto the long winding slide to see how fun it can be and it really was. ok a bit childish but yeah. james almost burnt his butt cos "i want to ride on the pony". gay voice. sheesh. yup when we were leaving happyland john saw this sign. this playground is suitable for children 12 years and below under the supervision of an adult. went off to play bball then got sick of it played soccer. the heat got to us and we were sort of restless. chilled a while in an aircon place and went to bathe. they have nice showers there. ha. go try. went to grace's house. james tried out the diff effects on the guit using the pedals and di. quite cool. i like tremolo. haha. went down to church for pract. rather smooth i would say. we ended on time! actually we ended 3 mins earlier according to joy but yeah. ok i need some rest.

Thursday, June 16, 2005was doing quiet time just now. pondered over the joint. it's coming again. expectations. well. we've been praying week after week for the joint. pray that God will send His people in. pray that more people will come week after week. pray that people from church will bring their friends. no doubt we have God to thank for the rather smooth prog. but then again it's pointless if we want the masses to come in but we dont do much abt it. it's no point for them to come in if we dont go out. i mean we cant just carry on with what we do inside and not go out to bring them in. the masses wont come in unless we go out to them. that's what i think. sure it's important to pray cos we wld be powerless without prayer. but then again we cant just sit back and wait for Him to do the work. we have to be the ones bringing them into the church talking to them making them feel comfortable. ok i know it's really not easy. i'm not exactly very good at welcoming but at least i tried. and i have to try again and again. we have to get out of our comfort zones and start going to the crowd rather then them coming to us. try. for now i guess i can get out of the clique and start sitting with new people. i dont know much abt the rest but even though i struggle i know i'm not doing this for myself. try. it may not mean much to me to sit with a new person for an hour but perhaps to that person it may make a whole lot of difference. i can imagine. love. try. well i guess even when we invite our friends we shldnt be the ones sitting with them alone. oh well.
open up the gates - planetshakers(i dont feel anything. nth's shaking yet.ha)
we come into this holy place to bring a sacrifice of praise bow down before You and seek Your face
we sing of the mighty things You've done cry out to You let Your will be done tell all the world You're the holy one
hear the shouts of praise as they're rising up to you come and fill this place as we bring glory to Your name
open up the gates and let the king of glory in fill this house with praises as we lift our hands and worship You open up the doors and let Your glory fill the earth King of heaven we dance before Your throne
King of heaven come and take Your place dwell among us as we seek Your face..
