hello!!!!!
RHEMA was SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALLYDOCIOUS! lols! but it was really really really awesome:D
14 DEC, rhema opening(:
Met phoebe at g2 at like....6.30? but all i know was that it was super early, and we were sitting at the store talking to random people. haha, so then met vic, meiling and denise, but i went up with meiling and denise first coz, vic and phoebe were eating. omg! when we went up to the santuary, it was like freaking cool, there was like this black tunnel, leading to the entrance. and the whole santuary was like dark, a bit like a rock concert, and there was like glow-in-the-dark light sticks all over. hahahaha, it was super cool lah. btw, worship was damn good!:D in fact all the night rallies were very good. so we sang, really loud, but actually you cant even hear your own voice coz the music was uber loud! yup, so we had worship from 7.30- 8 something then we went home!
15 DEC, 1st day of rhema!
met phoebe as usual at mrt, and once again we had to go super early coz of her sis. anyw, reach there at like 8.15, then register and waited for other ppl.
morning service at 9.30, and so coincidentally all the sec1s that came filled up on row in the santuary, haha, ok, so had worship and cermont by pastor lim lip yong. then me and phoebe responded to the altar call, coz it was for those ppl who havent been baptised by the holy spirit, yup, and i got touch by the Lord, but i didnt receive it yet, so i guess that God has his timing. so i shall be a good girl and wait patiently!(: at 11.30 went for our workshop 1 which was conducted by the oh-so funny pastor ronald:D
then had lunch, and sat with abi, phoebe, vic and grace, actual fact we seat together every meal. ohhh, and the funny thing is that at every single meal(lunch and dinner) we will somehow start laughing like crazy. lols, really funny and vic will do something stupid like... she will spit out her food or her drink will come out from her nose coz we were laughing. hahaha:D
had workshop 2 after lunch, and then it was......(drum roll) RHEMA RUSH!!!!!(: hahaha, i so so love it man! oh, and GROUP 14 WAS THE BOMB! i love you guys! btw, our group name was squiggles. dont ask me why, but i think its quite cute. ok...there was me, abi, phoebe, grace, sharlyn, nicole, gladys, elon, umm..theres one more girl and 2 more boys but i kinda forgot their names.. so sorry! and our game marshall was david:D we played the risk game, but instead of the board game, it was the human risk game:D quite fun though.
ate dinner, and we cracked up laughing like mad again, and me and phoebe at to perform, coz the r-age choir was performing during dinner! then had night rallies, which started off with a powerful worship! and sermon by joel:D haha, his really funny! ok, end of day 1
16 DEC, day 2 of rhema!
same thing, met phoebe at mrt, but fortunatly we didnt go so early.
oh, and when we reach there coz like there was this high jump thing on the wall, you are suppose to like run and jump and try to reach as high lah. then joshua(hamster), kirby and cornelius wanted to beat david choo's record so they did the cheerleading thing, you know the pyramid? yup, so corn and kirby push hamster up, hahaha and they were like...
corn and kirby: fastor fastor!
hamster:wait wait wait, one more left!
haha, so the 3 of them made the new record. then coz we were standing watching, and corn came to us and ask us to try, and we were like no, and he was like"hai ya, dont shy lah" so we all saboed abi, coz she was the tallest! haha, and coz we girls didnt want to jump, so the boys helped us;D
kk, went for morning service at 9.30,workshop 1, then lunch, we were all laughing like____. then workshop 2, and finally RHEMA RUSH!!!!!! we played THE WORLD, really fun! but disguisting. it was like a treasure hunt, so first we had to pass this tofu, and the group which can pass the fastest w/o droppiong wins, and my group won!!!!:DDDDD 2nd we had to use cheese as darts, so yup, we had to make it sticky by dipping it into water. quite yucky, but not as yucky, as the next one, 3rd we had to drink whatever the game marshall blend for us. and the group who finishes it the fastest wins lah! so ours was: ladys finger+ eggplant+vinegar+oreo+some super salty sauce, blended together! and it tasted TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!!! it was thick and salty yet sweet and sticky. ewwww... 4th we played this balloon passing game which was really fun! 5th was fruit bowling, 6th we had to spit the bubble tea bubble, to make a can fall, and lastly it was broken telephone, but we had to talk with grapes in our mouths!:D we ended at like 5.45 then dinner!!!!!! and we all burst out laughing once again!
and then the wonderful, fantastic, oh-so powerful, NIGHT RALLY!!!!!!

17 DEC, last day of rhema:(
same thing, met phoebe then went to church met grace, abi and vic then went for morning service!
oh, during the altar call, the pastors anointed us with this nice smelling oil, which i think they use it for spa. coz there was like hundreds of us, so we had to wait. so i was praying while waiting, and then i started crying non stop, and pastor cuixian anointed me, she was like"its ok to cry" haha, so i cried more! then after she prayed for me, and stayed there and prayed by myself, coz i tell you being in the presense of God is a wonderful thing:D then amanda my lovely senior, prayed for me, and sympathise with me, and she cried too, coz my shirt was wet! haha. then after that my next year CM prayed for me! so in total i used 3 tissue paper! then the pastor told us to write down God's calling for us, so yup i wrote(: then had workshop 1, then lunch we laughed again, workshop 2, then RHEMA RUSH, we played this game called TRADER, which was like the LifeGame.
