A long day

Even as I write this, I just want to go and sleep! And it's barely 11pm yet! Hardly slept lah. Slept a total of perhaps 1 hour this morning, sometime between 6 to 9, and that's about it. Slept from about 6 to 9 just now in the evening too.... so what was I doing?

Friday morning 9am. Met Benny together with Hanhui at Tiong Bahru BK. The coffee was horrible!! Poured it away and got a tea refill instead.

12 noon. Met Robert for PnW practice, had lunch with Ruizhi. NB caregroup from 1 to almost 4. Claramae gave a teaching on unanswered prayers. All familiar stuff, but I took the chance to take down good notes for future use. =)

4pm onwards. This is when things started to get really exciting. Qiaoping, Jiadai, Weizan and Daniel came back from the supermarket with groceries and stuff. We got down to work in Jiadai's cluster kitchen. We had a great time preparing the food, lots of joking around. Think we were tired but really really pleased with the outcome. Best little party I'd ever helped throw! Great food, great crowd and a great time. I think those of us who were there from the start had a much more enjoyable time than those who came only later in the eveing, but think everyone enjoyed themselves much nonetheless... I'm rambling ... hmmm

11pm. Me and Weizan decided to stay over in PGP. Glad I stuck around after most of the rest left, cos I got to witness Jiadai giving her life to Christ! Wow! We have a new sister... heehee ... so glad and happy for her. Hey sis, if you are reading this, welcome to the family (sorry for the horrible rendition that night, haha) and really looking forward to see the woman you will become in Christ... :)

2 or 3am. The whole gang of us - Meiyan, Weizan, Qiaoping, Jiadai, Daniel and I (Sijia KOed) - went down to Fong Seng for supper. Oh ya, haha ... did something funny .. we were meeting in the R3 common area, so I just suddenly thought of teaching them how to turn on/off the aircon ... laojiao tricks ..

4-6am. Joined Qiaoping and Jiadai in looking at photos - firstly of projectacts, and then those that Ben took in Sarawak... Quite funny, cos me and Jiadai were tired and we were falling asleep all the time. Qiaoping was the only one wide awake, cos she drank tea at Fong Seng. Apparently that's enough caffeine to keep her awake the whole night.

6-8am. Jiadai went and KO liao, so I was left with Qiaoping. Tired but didn't feel like sleeping cos it won't be a long sleep anyway... helped her to clear all the spyware junk from her laptop ... aiyoh! really a lot of it ... Spybot + AdAware seems like a good combination - between the 2 of them, I lost count of the number of 'objects' they found and destroyed ... now her laptop is much much smoother in operation ...

8am onwards. Didn't want to sleep in her room initially, cos now there are 3 girls inside. a little awkward. but really tired by this time and anyway I think Daniel wanted to meet for breakfast sometime soon ... so wat the heck, found a spot on the floor to sit down and get a little shuteye ... about an hour, i think... then we (Meiyan, Jiadai and I) got up and left. Haha, the effect of the caffeine had worn off by then and Qiaoping was super tired .. so we left her behind and went off. Me to Daniel's place to get the 2 of them. Jiadai and Meiyan to her place. Then me, Daniel and Weizan went over to Jiadai's place for breakfast, which was leftovers from last night. The nice bun thingy that Sijia got from JB, reheated in the toaster .. wonderful .. potato salad, now fully chilled .. great .. sure beat the original idea of going for breakfast in canteen ... can save money somemore

11am onwards. Jiadai went to UCC to meet Meiyan and Claramae. Me, Daniel and Weizan went to take a look at Rag. Interesting but it's quite a drag to hand around for the whole thing, esp under that sun ... so me and Weizan went off to go to Sim Lim to collect his mobo, while Daniel stayed behind to look for some friends. Had a long talk with Weizan on the journey there, about lots of stuff, mostly about religion and Christianity. We both spoke openly, which felt great ... I'm so much more comfortable conversing that way. Anyway, got to clear up some misconceptions (?) on his part and also to set him off thinking a little bit ... hopefully the sermon tomorrow might strike a chord too ... :)

4pm. Finally got home. Had slept most of the way back anyway ... realise that long bus journeys are no big deal when you sleep all the way ... then again, i already knew that ... haha ... thank God for aircon buses! Anyway, KOed from 6 to 9, got up for dinner, tried to install Need for Speed: Underground unsuccessfully (anyone got disc or image?) and blogging (finally) ... going to sleep after this ...

Rare chronological blog entry from me ... haha, but it was an interesting, long and fun day(s) ... Zzzzz
