Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

Hah. It was certainly a fun day today!
I watched Church service online in the morning as I couldn't fully absorb Pastor Kong's sermon on Sat. I felt that his sermon today was much clearer and better than yesterday's partly because he didn't have enough time yesterday to finish the last part of the sermon and he had to rush through slightly on Sat. After watching service online, I was became quite bored because it seems like another daywasted at home doing nothing again.
Luckily Jasmine came and save my day! Hah. She initially suggested go swimming at Jurong which I rejected because its simply too far away. Then she suggested to go blading at East Coast Park. Hah. So I started to consider since its much nearer for me. Heh. I'm a very lazy person who wishes to go out and have fun but not travel too far at the same time. However, we couldn't get any other people from cell group to come along as they were all busy with their own stuff. So I decided to stay at home. Then suddenly, Jasmine told me that Nicole will be going. Hah. I thought that it would be pretty cool and accepted the suggestion.
I met Jasmine at Parkway Parade at 4.15pm and we went over to Roxy Square as Nicole was there cutting her hair. So we decided to go there and look for Nicole and surprise her. However, never did we realise that Roxy Square has so many salons! I reckon that there are at least 20 salons there! Hah. We spent like an hour walking around peeping into every salon to find Nicole but to no avail. So in the end, I had to sms Nicole and ask her where she is. Hah. Even when she told me the location of her salon, it took us another 15 mins to find her. Hah. She was with her mum cutting hair and she had her hair highlighted. It looks not bad =D Guess how much the haircut and highlight costs?? It was only 80 bucks for both her and her mum! Hah. The hairdresser auntie damn nice lor. Heh.
By the time we got over to East Coast Park and to the shop renting blades and bicycles, it was already 5.50pm. So we rented to blades and set off at around 6pm. I want to say a big THANK YOU for Jasmine who pay for my blades. Heh. It costed 6 bucks per person and for 2 hours. Not bad lar.
So we started blading. Heh. The initial 15mins were quite scary for me as I haven't blade for a long-g long-g time! Hah. Soon I picked up the momentum of blading. Thank God! Heh. There were quite a lot of humps on the road and I certainly lack confidence in crossing over them. My heart was pumping quite badly for the first few humps. Thank God that angels were there to hold me when I almost fell. Heh. It was cool. Nicole bladed quite well and Jasmine is still learning. Heh. I really admire Jasmine because she fell down quite a few times and everytime she fell down, she just smiled and laughed and picked herself up again. I guess if it were me, I might just give up blading on the spot. Heh. It took us an hour to get from the blading shop at Macs area to the foodcourt area.
By then, it was already 7pm. We initially wanted to grab some food from the foodcourt and head back after that but we figured out that we don't have much time left and the foodcourt was freaking crowded. So we just rested for a while and made our way back. The sun was already setting by then and it gave the sky a beautiful orange hue. Heh. I suddenly got reminded of God's greatness and creativity. Indeed, only God can create such a beautiful and majestic scene!
By God's grace, we made it back to the blading rental shop in 50mins even though we were really tired. Heh. Thank God for Nicole who were there to hold on to Jasmine when she fell and to pull Jasmine along. Heh. Thank God for Nicole who gives me a push when i'm going over the humps cause i have a tendency to stop there and fall. Heh.
Tired after blading, we made our way to Kenny Rogers to have dinner. Heh. Nicole was really nice to treat me to dinner. Heh. Thank God cause i only have 5 bucks left till Wed when my pay comes in again. Heh. Dinner was great! Great food and we shared about our past - primary school and secondary school life etc. Hah. Nicole went to 7-11 to buy Ginger Beer and we smuggled into Kenny Rogers. Heh. The drink tasted nice. Heh. However, the waiter who was an alert old uncle at Kenny Rogers spotted the smuggled drinks and warned us to keep it away. So we had no choice but to follow. Heh. We left Kenny Rogers at around 9.30pm and made our way back to Parkway Parade.
I really wanna thank God for today cause He has put so many friends around me to bless me!
Heh. Thank You Abba Father!
