# The Amazing (g)Race
Saturday
Weekend is like the time of the week man!! THE time of the week. No need to wake up early for work. But with my new tuition in place, the alarms still ring. And if my handphone could speak, it would ask me to set it to a later time cuz I will jz snooze it for up to an hour! Oh well, away with AI and on with ... err.. no AI?
Anyways, I get up in time to rush off to Toa Payoh after being warned by Mei Yian not to fall into the 31 trap. Cuz its the eternity ride to Toa Payoh. So I took 196 (which arrived immediately) and then MRT-ed to Toa Payoh.
We "interrupt" this post to bring you the verse of the day from Mei Yian! Isaiah 41v10
Then I met Vincent almost immediately, and we set off for void-deck hunting. Wwe found a residents' corner but we didn't use it, not cuz we're not residents or are too young, haha, but cuz all the tables were wet. Jz the tables... weird man. Oh well.. Thank God for this block that we used. Hope i can find it again next week.
We counted the weeks and started on AC. By 12, we were done. Thank God once again for somehow letting me remember my entire AC without revising! Yaynesses.
Then headed back to .. Parkway? Not really back but I stopped at City Hall cuz I was lazy to change from red line to green, took a 14 to Parkway. Walked a lot and resisted the temptation to get an ice blended milo cuz i know it'll jz be ice, blended, and a teaspoon of milo anyway. No point freezing myself either cuz Roxy n Parkway are always so cold. The staffroom is aircon enough, plus my room. Now shopping and drinking... waa...
Oh ryte. Bought more instant noodles (which i already had 4 packets at home, dunno why i bought it), milk (Marigold, even if u didn't want to know), Oreos which are going for only $1.85! And my very own microwave oven safe plastic container. There you go, the complete Mr Wilson shopping list. But I wasn't done, bought myself a reload card, then lunch, then sweets for my beloved classes. Which actually mean long assignents are coming. The irony of being rewarded.
Note to self : eat lunch before shopping (why? go figure...)
Took 196 which is making a habit of coming instantly! 196 gets two Fruit Plus sweets for being so nice! Then slept.
My handphone would be screaming at me by now, but i snoozed it for more than an hour. I should have jz set it at 6 instead of 5. Haha... lazy me... But the HIGHLIGHT of the day was drawing near, YA service!! Lemme hear you scream!! Oh yeah. Oh yeah!
Walked in to a walkway cooly (as in, the adjectively used form of "cool") decked with spotlights or floodlights.. yeah, those kind with pictures on the wall. Service today came with complementary race kits! Free number, safety pins, sweet, plaster and even H20 for the thirsty. Aand H20, I meant the drink, not water you cheapo... haaha, no lar, i thought it was gona be water too. But cool, H20. But the funny thing is the part i appreciated most of the race kit was the ziplock bag. The treasures of living alone. Man. Life is good.
Service was awesome with Aiken and an almost full band. Only missing an accoustic guitar. (and a DJ, and a choir, and percussion, and trumpets... and dancers and... yeah. Dream on?) Then we had the offering and then sharing by the ever awesome Rachael.
Sharing was on Fighting the fight, finishing the race and keeping the faith. DNA of YA invloved? Spiritual Tenacity which was superbly defined at dictionary.com as the quality of being tenacious. You don't say.... Yup, but it was a superb message. Point that blew me away (aka Rhema Word), what do you do with the reward you get (the crowns, which there are 5 apparently) from the race?
Is it
A You wear them all!!
B You sell them on e-bay
C You lay them at the feet of God
It was like... duh? and WOW. I mean, everyone knows you bring nothing out of this world. So, this must be the only thing you have to show for ur life here which u can present to God. That jz makes me wanna get all 5 crowns and more if there are any! Cool... And the service dragged on as always, but not so much of a drag but ran along.
The race is on. Its awesome. If ur life is jz a drag, stroll or making 6 laps on the track, its time to get into the race man!! Theme song : I surrender (once again, but hey, its an awesome song) here's the chorus n bridge
When Im weak, You are strong,
You're my feet, when I can't move on,
You're the light, in the dark,
You're the whisper, inside my heart.
And I surrender all, to You (repeat as desired)
Goodnight ppl. See ya at the track!
Btw, Im still a little high after friday and the speech!Labels: Race, Shopping, Toa Payoh
