I've enjoyed Friday's outing with my section and team ppl!
I left work at Wheelock to meet up with Singyee at 6plus. We went to Far East Plaza to walk around. Met up Cassandra shortly. While walking around touring for Cass' shoes, we saw Alex with his friend. We talked for a while then we headed to Wisma to look for the restuarant called Ichiban Boshi at level 3. We were the first to reach there. We waited and not long after Youmei met us, followed by Jing Teng, Emily, Lin Keong. We reserved a total of 9 seats together. While waiting, some went to toilet, some settled at Starbucks and others went to shop. When we returned back to that restuarant we were still called to wait. Pengboon and Paul have also reached by then. Most of us were starving already but we were still persistent to wait for our turn to come. When we first reached that place it was 7.21pm and when we finally managed to get in it was already 8.30pm. Wow we waited for 1hour plus. Nevermind, ushers are patient people, haha..
When we finally settled at our dinning tables, we ordered many types of food. We chatted a lot during then. The food was quite good. When most of us had nearly finished, praise God Esley came and she took a chair and joined us. We noticed there were some food such as beancurd and fried chicken that remained, so we suggested to play number game 'Zong ji mi ma'. We were so used to that game already because we played that during our section bbq outing too. A few of us got forfeits and so in the end all the food were finished, including the two slices of orange. Thank you Youmei for your treat. It was awesome. =) While waiting, I finally get to pass the gift to Pengboon, which I had bought 1 week ago. He has been my great leader, always patient, understanding, motivating and lends me a listening ear. He is someone I always look up to and he is a great example for his followers. Thank you for your excellent leadership!
We had at first won the battle, haha.. to go to Starbucks for a drink which was at Wisma level 3 as well. However, when we reached there the tables and seats were all taken, so we decided to go to the one at Wheelock. The same thing happened when we reached Wheelock Starbucks and so finally I suggested to go to the Coffee bean behind Borders where there are many sofa seats. Jingteng left us shortly as she caught a flu, while Cass went to her workplace at Paragon to take something but came back to us after that. Pengboon treated us for the drinks and we had a great chat. Haha, we were talking most of the things under the sun, lol. Finally it was turning rather late so Paul drove Youmei and Esley back, while Singyee took a ride from Jeremy. Emily and Ling Keong took a train back. Cass took bus 65 while Pengboon and I waited for bus 7 to arrive.
While waiting we chatted for around half an hour. We noticed the last bus could have left some time back so we waited for a slight while for NR7. When it came we then noticed that that bus wouldn't go to Bugis or Lavender. So we chose to take a cab eventually. Pengboon alighted at Bugis as he was going to meet up his friends, while I alighted at Lavender.
So that was all that happened on Friday. I slept really late and on Sat I was quite tired. I reached at 10.17am on Sat for support. Met up Rena, followed by Alvin, Alex and the rest when we reached. We also had an enjoyed time doing the bulletins. Sister Katherine, Alvin and I were in one group filling up the bulletins, while Rena and Singyee in another. We finished at 1plus and we decided not to go Tampines for lunch. We settled at Expo Hall 4 (I suppose?) to eat Ramen. Esley, Erin, Jingteng and her member also joined us. After that meal, Singyee went to find her member, we walked around for a while at Attributes (saw Biondi there, shhh.. don't tell him I am looking for a bible) and ended up sitting at Foyer 3. Esley and I chose to queue up outside Hall 8 in the end and not long after the doors were opened and we queued up outside Door 1.
I soon found my cg member when i entered the hall. After putting my bag down at one of the seats, I called Esley to ask her for her member's Attributes membership card. I saw Alex first so I asked him for his instead and I went to Attributes to buy a bible and notebook. I passed to Biondi before service starts so that he could use it during sermon time. Service started soon after and after service, Jiaying shared some messages and we celebrated Benjamin's birthday. I went to Logistics but went back to hall again to meet Keeliang. He passed me my policy documents and I went off to logistics and said bye to them. Didn't join them for dinner as we usually did after recycling. I headed home hoping to sleep earlier. Haha.. in the end I still slept quite late at 3plus.
Today is Sunday, now at home. Going to join the rest (Joshua, Deborah, Yvette, Erin, Rena, uncle Vincent and probably Esley after her work) to meet up at Bugis station later at 6pm. Yeah we are going for steamboat and it's going to be fun. We'll be celebrating Joshua's birthday too.
Oh I got to go off now or I'll meet them late. Haha.. will try to update soon. =)
