Another day another night

Well it's another installment of "It's Su's life!" and the host is none other then myself. Well it was a pretty productive day if I do say so myself. Did my laundry, checked emails, did Christmas shopping, having good fellowship, attending camp post-mortem and watching a movie (BTW : I strongly advice anyone reading this to avoid watching Ocean's Twelve at all costs!). All in all a pretty good day even though I didn't get the rest I was supposed to :P (Sorry Jee Leng, I know I promised you I would).

Christmas shopping was an eventful 2 hours especially since it seemed as if there was going to be an impromptu reunion of the camp/yf there with all the people we were bumping in to. My friend KP and I were also trekking around the whole of One Utama trying to get our shopping done. Thank God it is mostly settled now. You know I really don't like getting presents because I never know what people want, especially girls. Some love soft toys, some can't stand them and it really gives me a headache trying to shop for everyone. Since it's christmas I have to also becareful with whom I buy presents for and all that...striking a fine balance between giving and staying out of the red can be a fulltime job in itself.

Other than that..the only other thing to note is that I am getting the feeling that maybe the Devil was trying to set me up with the stuff I saw when I got back from camp yesterday. It seems more and more likely that things will not be what they seem. But I cannot be sure, so I leave it to God to do what He will. Ofcourse I hope it will be inline with what I would like, but I think this time I can really say "may His will be done" whole heartedly.

Well I'm back from a really awesome youth camp. It is truly amazing how God works in peoples lives and how He knows their deepest thoughts and knows how to speak directly to them. I saw nothing short of miracles at the camp, because watching youths standing up, raising their hands to give their lives to God instead of the world can be nothing but the will of God. I know this may sound "gospelish" or "preachy" to those not of the Christian belief, but hey, this is my blog, so live with it! :P And a message to all those at the camp, it was a great 5 days getting to know you all better and to those leaving the YF, you'll be missed dearly.

Don't I just sound so happy? And really just earlier today and last night I was feeling...not down per-say but heavy hearted and solemn. I had been hit hard by somethings I did not want to hear and was just contemplating that and the Lord spoke to my heart through people and the quiet time that I was to "Let go and let God". Not an easy thing I tell you, especially when it comes to relationships. And it took me a long time before I was really able to "Let God", in fact it took all of four days and part of the next morning, beneath the stars walking alone before I was able to just commit everything to Him. And once I had done that, I felt as if I had be lifted up from the little emotional hole I dug for myself. When I woke up today though, I still felt a little ....for a lack of a better word "regretful" but I was pretty much back to my own self....unsuccessful jokes and all, hehehehe. But when I got home from the camp, I saw something that really raised my spirits and normally I would have been estatic and tried to get someone to tell, but I think God was telling me "Hold on and wait and I will reveal my plans for you". Right now the situation could just change because it could be the devil just trying to confuse me..so I'll wait just as He commands. So I won't say what happened right now...but maybe in some future blogs when God tells me it is a time to share the testimony because I am sure God has allowed all this to happen to me for a reason, even if I may never know what that reason is.

So people, just look at how slac I cam be. Even with my own blog. I mean this is only my second post. Well I'm just going to blame it on the weekend...juse because I can! Hehehe...Well lets recap the weekend. It has been a pretty eventful one, if I don't say so myself.

Friday night started with some painting of a miniature pegasus and a all night Warcraft III: The Fronzen Throne DOTA session. Which was ofcourse followed by a "retelling of war stories mamak session".

Saturday started out normal enough, did lots of house chores like doing the laundry and airing the house. Did some cleaning here and there as well. And then I resumed painting and base-ing the pegasus from the night before. It was to be a present for the birthday girl who's party was on saturday evening itself...so u know I was really rushing...by God's grace I managed to get it looking all well and nice, or at least respectable. After varnishing I took a shower, packed the pegasus away and headed to church for a camp briefing. After a pretty fun time at church fellowshipping it was time to head to the party. Now I was the last in a convoy to the location when I got impatient and decided to overtake the b'day girl...not a good idea...doesn't give a good impression either....but anyway so I over took and was on merry ol' way..just as I was waiting to turn in to the final road..I was held up by some blue proton wira...and lo and behold there came the rest of the convoy from a different route and just like that I was at the end again. The party was really fun even though the kids really tired me out by playing "You're it!" the whole night. A pleasant surprise was the arrival of a friend who was studying in singapore popping up and surprising the b'day girl.

Now on to sunday..monday morning worship, a consice message and a session that ended 15 minutes early for once! Yay! Then I was told that the wing of the pegasus broke off, super glue time. Not so yay. This pretty much set the tone for the day. Things falling into place for YF camp, Yay! Choir practice didn't go well, Not-so-yay. Lunch with friends from penang, Yay! The jam to get there, Not-so-yay! Raining heavily when there is no football, yay! No football, Not-so-yay. and the list just goes on and on..oh well it was still a blessed weekend..now for the week ahead ..:)
