that's what all of us noobsters did.
jieying and me. we were the 1st to reach the pier!
us 4 at the pier.
nice scene. look closely, it's actually huat and junze.
zoomed in huat and junze. that's the best my hp camera can go.
resting at kopitiam
jocelyn and me at kopitiam
what can i say? it's evident. US ARMY.
waiting waiting for last pair of skates to return.
INJURED:
JOCELYN
WEEHUAT
GABRIEL. gosh! he fell so many many times!
bus ride back.
the need to be alone.
woke up freaking early. was gonna be late again. well, we weren't the latest. huat and jocelyn were later.
travelled to east coast. ate breakfast, slacked, then went rent skates.
gosh! my 1st time skating in east coast. the last time i skated was at least 4 years ago at a basketball court, and i didnt really skate, i more of walked.
got the hang of it at the beginner's corner. then skated to the pier. more of being pulled. jieying cycled and pulled me most of the way. fell down, but nobody saw. thank God jieying was not far ahead. only jieying, junze, huat and me went all the way to the pier. the rest stopped at the kopitiam. went back. rested there.
headed back. boy was i tired. thank God junze had a bike. i skate part of the journey. but i was too slow, and i can't make it on my own. end up junze pulled me along.
fell again along the way. this time the impact was so great my head hurts, even until now. didnt wanna get up. really pain and tired.
it was not easy trying to get up again.
well, we overshot the time, had to pay extra charges. went bk for lunch. the interaction among all of us was fun.
went down to south havens. xavier's house. didnt wanna change and stuffs. but cal talked me into changing and washing up. it did felt better, more refreshed. slacked a while at xavier's then went to buddy with cal and andy ong. had a really good talk. didnt know i had something to cry about.
guess that's what happens when we dont stop and think.
sometimes, time off alone is good. busy-ness just tend to get in the way. forever we're occupied with something, be it computer or tv or studies or even friends. sometimes, we just need to be alone. to spend some time thinking. spend some time in just God's presence. did that, it felt good.
gosh! perseverance. such a easy yet difficult word. it just means not to give up. but to put it in actions, it's just not as easy as it seems. God have been showing me a lot about perseverance.
this road with God, it's never gonna be easy. as much as words can be said. actions are always a lot more difficult, a lot more difficult than we can imagine. just like skating, we'll definately fall. it's a choice to pick ourselves up again and move on.
It's the way we have to trust
It's the way we have to persevere
That's not easy
It's the world we live in
It's the desires of our hearts
That's not easy
Your word says You give grace
Your word says You give mercy
Your word says You're forgiving
Your word says You're faithful
But Your word never said it would be easy
It's never easy
The moment I chose You
I chose the narrow gate
No it's never gonna be easy
But still i choose to hang on
