EVERYONE ELSE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING UP YOUR SUNDAY MORNING. i know there was probably a few other things you could be doing, but thank you so much for your dedication to the youth movement!
to our suppliers: THANK YOU SO MUCH! for giving whole heatedly to a bunch of kids, needless to say we could not have done anything without your contributions.
and most importantly: Thank You God, for being with us this whole weekend and providing for us this funding for our up coming events.

We are filled just to be emptied again

(right now i have quite a few other things to do; pack my bag, look for an army towel for eddy and type out minutes from the last council meeting. but instead im here blogging. that just show how important you all are to me =D)

This has been an all out weekend. First was Sat's youth mass. the musicians were late, spiritual prep was late, the mass was late. BUT it all turned out ok, so yeah, honestly someone was working that day. after we closed up (with random help from the amplify guys that hung around, and a lot of foot work from the musicians n singers) went to give vic his tele (honestly dude, buy you prez so troublesome leh! haha) and in the cab home i dropped off lenny and he asked me a very interesting question, about stuff that i've been thinking of recently (3 more). but lets not spoil the surprise =)

then sunday morning had canteen! argh! got up at 5 (ok snoozed till 530) to fry eggs and help mom a bit with the sambal bee hoon(THANK YOU MOMMY! LOVE YOU). then just as i was going to shower jude calls me to say no one was there (when most had told me they will be a bit late) so rushed down (THANK YOU DADDY! LOVE YOU!) to find freda and some of the eXcess guys setting up the deco (THANK YOU SO MUCH, ALL OF YOU. AND THANKS FREDA FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME). then slowly everyone came in and we had things in order (well we only really had kway and some bee hoon for the first mass crowd) and eventually everyone got it goin and by 11 we were almost out of food. so to try and do something for the 1130 mass people, i quickly went to buy AND make fried rice (2.5kg of fried rice in 1 and a half hours!) and in the process got my left thumb and index finger burned (feels alot better now, just really hurt on the day)

AND after that i still had to rush off to work at 230 till 10pm and i wasnt completely wasted after that! still had the energy to come home and talk to becky on the phone till like 12, and then we were both kinda tired, and i knocked out after hanging up the phone! haha.

Wake up call

woke up this morning to find my uncle and aunt over for breakfast with 2 priests visiting from India. Fr. Christu and Fr. Sebastian. So just sat down and listened in on the conversation, and they were talking about couples counseling since my parents were on the ME board a while back, and are still involved. So it just got me thinking about a few things(Ant you should know what lah, haha)

Then my uncle announces to Fr. Christu that im in a youth ministry, so i go on to talk about ywm and that we organize youth masses. Lo and behold, Fr. Christu was also a musician and he is heading a youth group in india called Christ Band. he showed me a testimony from a drummer and a keyboardist, and asked me if i could do one too. so i did. and...er...he kinda invited ywm to play in india...
