funorama is FINALLY over :D its not exactly a good thing but yea im glad all the scoldings and naggings from kt will stop heh to some extent anyway but its one experience i wouldnt trade for anything haha sbone rawwwwks man (:

the morning began qte strangely i was half awake when ben's mom came over to pick me and we reached school like 6.50am heh carrying a whole bunch of jellies, ben's suit, violin case goodness knows what else and the moment we started setting up our store everyone started calling me to get people to help them carry stuff in so basically i almost died carrying all the stuff in

heh and i got to eat fried ice cream! which was sup cool cos i have never ever ever eaten anything like it before so :D haha i went round advertising with justin and ben who were getting fried in their tuxedos in an ATTEMPT to advertise for our store heh which wasnt very successful in the morning but eventually helped in the afternoon so (: our games and food stalls were amazing successes and i guess it really is in moments like these that you truly see His grace and all (: i mean honestly two days before, we were all in a BIG MESS and the day before funorama we all went to watch a movie instead of preparing like crazy so (: haha all our jellies got sold out and we made lots of money! well coupons anyway so (:

a million memories of the funfair i will never ever forget-

1. pleading with all my relatives to buy tickets from me during chinese new year
2. running around in mt e getting rejected by nurses and yelled at by receptionists trying to sell tickets in an attempt to escape lessons
3. playing with kat at u-jin's house when we were SUPPOSED to be making jellies but did not
4. coming up with stupid slogans for our store at wei-jun's house
5. the experience when the seven of us got a ride on a LORRY to a bus stop
6. the carrying of a million things into school on the 21st of feb
7. trying to advertise for sb1ackjack with benandjustin to no avail
8. meeting up with all the dg people who came for funorama and realising how much i miss sc and dg [AGAIN :'(]
9. the LOUD shriek i gave when i saw cheriechan
10. heh attacking all the bethanian trees to buy from our games and food stall which worked so :D
11. watching daniel khor getting dunked at the dunking pool for a mere hundred bucks
12. clutching everyones hands so tightly six of us when for the scone haunted house which everyone said WASNT scary and i was the only one screaming
13. haha the 80 bucks worth of tickets joel gave me! and rie and him trying to drag me into the ah haunted house
15. going on a buying spree with alot of people trying to spend al our tickets
16. all the bowls of ice jelly i stole from our stall and all the sweetsweet sbone people that let me do that (:
17. watching justin break the whole glass jar filled with some funny red sauce by accident and his facial expression after
18. watching leow's expression when ben t sent him a message that said 'the guy on your right is so cute' referring to HIMSELF O____o
19. having to run all the way across the track to get to the silly room to do the silly srp aptitude test which i know im gonna fail heh :D

there are countless others memories that would take up too much time if i were to list them all down but the experience was fun, something i will treasure even in the years to come :D

next challenge coming up ahead.. RESULTS. -scream

results are gonna be out def. by the end of this week and it really is qte scary and all to think that what i have right now could be ripped right out of my arms, out of my grasp. had a sunday school class gathering thing yesterday and it really is an encouragement to the soul knowing that in all things i have sisters and brothers in Christ to push me along the way and to remind each other that even if things dont qte go the way i want them to, it doesnt matter, cos He's got a bigger plan which i cannot see (:

im thankful for what i have now, sbone, friends, the fun i have in school. His grace in the sustenance of my walk with Him, reminding me it is a privilege to suffer for His name's sake.

Though the rain may fall and the wind is blowing,
And cold and chill is the wintry blast,
Though the cloudy sky is still cloudier growing,
And the dead leaves tell the summer has passed.
My face I hold to the stormy heaven,
My heart is as calm as the summer sea,
Glad to receive what God has given,
Whatever it may be.

When I feel the cold, I can say, 'He sends it.'
And His wind blows blessing I surely know,
For I've never a want but He attends it,
And my heart beats warm though the winds may blow.
The soft sweet summer was warm and glowing;
Bright were the blossoms on every bough;
I trusted Him when the roses were blowing;
I trust Him now.

Small were my faith should it weakly falter,
Now that the roses have ceased to grow;
Frail were the trust that now should alter,
Doubting His love when storm clouds blow.
If I trust Him once, I must trust Him ever,
And His way is best, though I stand tall or fall,
Through wind and storm, He will leave me never,
He sends it all.

Why should my heart be faint and fearing?
Mighty He rules above the storm;
Even the wintry blast is cheering,
Showing His power to keep me warm.
Never a care on my heart is pressing,
Never a fear can disturb my breast,
Everything that He sends is a blessing,
For He knows best.
