My week after World Youth Day July 27, 2008
Posted by stephspeaks in Uncategorized.trackback
Monday:
World Youth Day has ended – we arrive in Singapore at 2350hrs, half dead, coughing the WYD-cough, and sang “We Welcome” for the last time that night.
Tuesday:
8.30 am at Yishun Town Secondary teaching drama! The students are really quite funny, some classes were quite hard to handle though. Surprisingly, I had voice to scream at them. Started the day with prayer =) And thanks to Corinne, she reminded me to say a little prayer before I jump into my first lesson. What a difference it made! =)
Afternoon: Totally WYD-ed and chilled out to Matt Maher and slathered myself with super-loaded moisturisers to quench my thirsty skin.
Night: YPF! =) Missed you guys!
Wednesday:
Drama in morning. Went to PP Mc-Cafe to steal internet connection (can you believe it?? My internet actually died on me, I was secretly happy at not checking the emails haha!), to no avail. Ended up relaxing to nice music – Met PRIS AND SHARON! for evening mass, and had yummy Cafe Olio dinner, Sharon’s treat! I love love love the fellowship! Must repeat telecast!! Then had DYTM filming and meeting till late! =)
Thursday:
Drama in morning. Went home to nua and relax first – met Pris and Sharon and Gabe for evening mass, went to PP to get smoked salmon and honey dew! Went to Darren’s place for post WYD gathering! The food was fantastic, but what was more fantastic was the SHARINGS! Its so so so amzing how God touched each and every one of us differently, whether we can articulate it now or not. Sometimes, we need to gift of hindsight to see clearer =) Thanks Darren for hosting us!
Friday:
Had my yummy Nam Sing Hokkien Mee in the morning – ended up watching Rachel Ray and then going to PP to shop and get a hard drive! 320 Mb! YES! I can finally get my pictures out. My computer is dying of the lack of space. Rushed home and rushed to Abby’s work place cos SHE HAD THE CAR! I got driven around by Abby to go Mel’s house to pass her muffins to cheer her up. Abby dropped me at church – realised there was no evening mass. Ended up having quiet time in the adoration room =) Then I met Abby and Shereen for dinner at City Hall! Ate Din Tai Fung! Was really nice catching up with you Shereen! Thanks for organising!! =) Friendships like ours must must last okay!
Saturday:
Overslept. Woke up greedy for italian food at old airport! Ate, collected curry puffs and nuggets – left for church for DYTM practice. Mark as Mr Mark Clean Koi Pong cleaner is damn funny can! Thanks Adeline, Mark and Pris for helping out and for being such a sport! And to all those who came! Crystal – your rendition of Salve Regina is hilarious! Leonard – you own lah. Jia you DYTM! We can do it! =) Stayed up till about 11 plus-ish in Jago, then went home to settle computer stuff haha.
What totally made my day: A random guy reading newspaper actually went up to flag the bus for me, when I was running like a mad woman to catch up with the bus 32! =) Angels do exist! They do they do they do!
Sunday:
Woke up at 7am to go to the Changi airport to see David off! WE had yummy Mac-cy breakfast (thanks nat! =)) and yup, it was the last picture taken with him for the day. =( DAVID, you are SO COMING BACK AS CO-FACIL OKAY! DEC 11-14! =)))) Went home after that, and guess what! PAPA LET ME DRIVE! WHEEE! I drove around the flat for a trial run. Aunty Stephanie – she went to open the car when the manual key, instead of the infra-red sensor thing, and the whole car went into alarm mode. SO MUCH FOR GAINING TRUST. hahaha. My father was so funny, during church, he went out early just to stick my P Plate for me so that I can drive home! =)
Then travelled down to serangoon gardens for CAAS-ers meeting for the skit. Our skit is now going to be called CAASNU. Haha. I swear we are so going to own okay hahaha. =) So exciting!!! Thanks Noelle for hosting us at your mom’s office. Going down to airport to film this Saturday! haha!
Then whooshed down to City Hall to MEET OH THREE OH SIX! =) its been a long time coming! A small cosy group came today – but it was hilarious! JOEL, YOU OWE ME MOVIE. We had like dinner 1 at carl’s jr, then dinner 2 at Kolo Mee place. We tried to unravel the mystery of Rachel, and Jensen ended up singing a made up song all about her! Jensen you have talent man! =) All the way all the way! Now I promised Jensen to learn my guitar well so that we can play together – I try my best okay!!!
And so,
that was a post-wyd week thus far.
Its a -bleah- ramble of activity – and by bleah, I would translate it to: My body travelling, moving round and about Singapore doing things that’s planned each day.
This week is just absolutely surreal. My body may be doing everything that I so “rambly-ly” typed out, but really -
what is my challenge? – To find “world youth day” in my every day life.
Starting with you, you you you you you you.,
and most importantly, the central of my entire being,
You.
