Your Name
As morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your name
Your name
Is a strong and mighty tower
Your name
Is a shelter like no other
Your name
Let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your name
Jesus, in Your name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your name

Float
Three months.
Float.
A lot of things.
Too tired to write!
Strange, isn't it?
Last night the floaters stayed up to clear the remains of our beloved float. We pulled out claddings we had painstakingly put up, removed wire mesh, saved rattan that we used to form the structures so that we could reuse them next year. Three months of work, five minutes of fame, 3 days to destroy it all. Some of the pieces would be scattered around RH though...can't bear to destroy everything!
The float team are a great bunch of people. We went through a great deal together. Can't imagine not seeing everyone daily anymore. School is starting tomorrow, however, so not much time to dwell on that! Glad for the memories. Forget the exhaustion, remember the fun.
We celebrated Clara's and Jasvind's birthday yesterday, on the float truck, no less! At 3am in the morning on the road with the hazard lights on. Thomas smuggled the cake on the truck by pretending to bring his guitar along, so that Jasvind wouldn't suspect. Jasvind, however, was concussed at the back of the truck and never noticed the guitar, let alone the fact that Thomas was holding the guitar case in a very weird manner.
We then went off to Novena for supper cum breakfast. Had fun crapping over Satay and stingray...
We returned to RH at 6 something in the morning. I did my laundry and then took a 45 minute nap before Gail called me up (Thank goodness she did) and went to church. Oh dear. Well, no more nights like this before Sunday. But I'm glad I stayed up to celebrate Clara and Jasvind's birthday! Will miss float ppl. Oh, haha, hmm, I think we will have a few new couples coming to light soon. :P You notice things on the back of trucks...hee, but then I may be mistaken. I'm not quite as observant as Shereen. Hmmm. Well, we'll see.
I wonder why this is such an interesting topic. I remember being grilled once while doing float at the dinner table by some curious seniors as to why Thierry's Facebook relationship status changed from 'single' to 'it's complicated'. Wahlao, anything better to do? LOL. And then they tried to pry out other float scandals from me. Haha, what a person to ask. I know close to nothing. Ask Shereen or Linda and you'll get a long list. True or not is another matter :P
I slept through most of today's message, though it was super interesting cos it was about how the clothes worn by Aaron represented the things we should look for in a person who ministered upon the Lord. I think. Oh dear.
Later there was children's church and we had 11 kids in class!! O.o woah. Kind of hard to handle. Children's Church seriously needs more helpers.
I got back from church after lunch and concussed until 5.45pm when Swee Yi called me up for a discussion on holiday plans. Hee. We sure think far ahead.
Well, tata for now. I am very, very tired. And I think I actually got sunburn at the back of my neck. It hurts. I don't sunburn easily, just get black. But ow. Ow. Ow. That comes of standing under the noon sun for several hours with zero sun protection. I am glad I am not Wei Seng. He is now a very red color, and if you touch any part of his skin he will wince. Cycelia is finding this new game very amusing.
Well, school starts tmr. my new tutor's name is Dr. Patrick Janssen and I am in group 1. Located in North America DDS. I hope it won't be too crammed.
My new tutor sounds interesting. Hope to learn a great deal from him. :D
