Not this time!
Friday
Friday was Good Friday, and it was the Goodest Good Friday ever in the history of me. Woke up bright and early to go with Bernard, Maxine, Val, Deanna, Jo and her colleague to go on an eating spree. Went all the way up to Tuaran to have Tuaran mee.
After that, went to eat Loh Kan, which is actually seafood (which I usually never touch), but it was SO good, that I had to have some.We ordered 80 of these babies, and I had like 10. Only. Still, better than nothing.
After that, we headed to 1B (we still couldn't figure out why we decided to do this), and we had McDonalds ice-cream (in my case I had a sundae, McFlurry and vanilla milkshake) (Some people know who to turn to when they're not hungry any more). We then proceeded to Toys R Us where we had the time of our LIFE. We spent an hour-and-a-half there playing with all the times and laughing our heads off. Great fun.
After that, went back home, grabbed my stuff, went to shower at Maxine's house, and then went to Bella Itallia for dinner (more food I know). Some Vedablu after, then me n Bernard went to Clash of the Titans, but there were no good seats, so we went to go play pool instead. Nick Lee called us after a few games, and we went for supper at Salim.
A Food-Filled Friday, haha. Awesomeness.
Saturday
Saturday was actually boring, haha, until Youth. I just used the computer and slept until like 6.30, then went to Youth, where I was observing constantly my iPod for football updates, and, thank God, CHELSEA WON M. U.!!! No surprise, really. Anyway, Youth was great, Ps. Siaw (yes, the term I coined actually stuck) preached, good message, disgusting beauty pageant though.
Then he asked me to go up and intro the song we wrote (PRESS ON). I had to recount the story for like the third time. And they sang it! It was good, in my opinion, anyway.
After Youth ended, talked to Yien's friend for awhile (A lot, actually). She's reading the same book as me now, what a Coinkidink! The Zahir by Paulo Coelhr, wonderful book, unheard by many, but she was reading it too!!! Scary. Didn't catch her surname though, Nicole something.
Had supper at Lido there. Wonderful Kweh Teow Soup.
Sunday (Easter)
Woke up early, Banjo picked me up and we headed to church. Was doing two things for Easter, so went early for practice. I'll skip that.
Easter started good, Praise was wonderful. Then was the children's thingy, which could have been better (ever the critic, I am). But they did the job they were supposed to, so praise God.
Then some message, then Joshua did a duet with Cindy, then it was time for my skit.
Did a skit with Deanna and Nathan, where I'm the Devil (yes, me) in a way. Malas want to recall the skit. It's about forgiveness and slavery or smth like that. I had fun doing it, so yeah.
Then after a lot of stuff, went on stage to finish the service with Who Am I, My Chains Are Gone, and Oh Happy Day (Love that song, man!).
After service went to Grand Port View to eat, after that went to the US navy ship thing. It wasn't all that bad, in the end.
It WAS freezing cold though.
We were SOAKING wet. Literally. We dripped all along their nice shiny floor, hehe.
They gave us a tour of most of the ship, really friendly guys, we went to the anchor room and the control room, and also the deck, but it was really cold, so we went back inside real quick. The picture above is from the deck.
This picture is of their canteen.
After the tour, me, Clem, Nick and Jon Lim ran to the car, SOAKING DRIPPING wet. I lost my tag in the rain so I had to go out cold and freezing to get it.
Now, however, comes the highlight of the weekend.
How Clement Lee Fainted
We went to City Mall after the US navy thing. Jon Lim wanted to donate some blood ( I don't know why, in the end he couldn't because they couldn't find his vein or something), and he ask Clem to donate some too (you had to be 18 and above to donate). So Clem was allowed to donate, and he lied down on the stretcher thing. They tried on his left arm, but they burst something(!), so they had to do it on his right arm. He had been injected with anaesthetic twice now (from both arms), so he was giggling a fair bit, giggled when I talked to him, giggled when I told him he was giggling, etc.
Anyway, so he successfully donated a large amount of blood. I stayed with him for awhile while the rest were with Jonny boy, and just talked to him, 'cos he needed to lie down for awhile. After 5 minutes he got up, but he felt dizzy so we guided him to the chair and he sat down and we gave him Milo to drink (he got like this huge bag of goodies for donating blood).
After awhile, we were all, "let's get him something to eat" so we started walking to KFC. Suddenly Clem stopped mid-speech, and his legs were collapsing-ish. In my mind I was all "wtf", and me n Jon who were standing either side of him caught him, but he was so heavy we needed Patrick and another random guy to help us drag him to a nearby chair while people were looking on.
While this was happening, his eyes were open, and we were all talking to him, but he wasn't responding. I was seriously freaking out a bit by then.
This lady out of nowhere produced a white little thing (which turned out to be a sweet), and waved it in front of his face. After a while, he blinked, and squinted at the sweet. He actually blacked out, so yeah. Hard for him to grasp what was going on. Anyway, long story short, we stayed with him, fed him, fanned him, made sweet drinks for him, and his parents came, all worried.
Really interesting moment of my life, hehe. Clement may not be the nicest person in the world, but through this, he has garnered my respect. Honestly. He sent me home after all that again, lol.
Had dinner with Kara, then here I am at home!
So yeah, it was one of those weekends. Those better ones, I suppose. Crab actually came to church again (surprise number 2!), that was good. Ate way too much food, that's good too. Made a new friend, Nicole, which is good I suppose. Easter was good, which is good. (XD).
Best of all though? I don't know. But hey, more's to come. Cutting Edge, people, end of this month! More details to come.
Can I rant for awhile? Haha, thank you.
I hate it when people say they want to leave it to God, but remain completely passive. What's passion for if there is no action? Being indecisive and staying that way is only your own downfall. You make mistakes only to get up again, and that's where I've been. So yeah, here's to you lukewarmers out there. Go do something. PRESS ON!
Soon to come: You'll be hearing The Declaration soon, this I promise :) Whooahooah!
Never again, Ri! Haha, I'm not mad.
