SMASHING good times-PART 2

haha. the title says it all. After service and lunch on Sunday, cell decided to have an outing to east coast park, just to play some ball games..we ended up traveling from one place to another for most of the time rather than getting right down to bonding time. haha. but the moment we reached a nice spot on the grass next to the beach, we jumped straight into a time of much fun.

infact, we got right into a smashing time where heads got bashed, arms got whacked, jaws were dislocated(not really..but the impact was there!),other body parts received similar impacts from the out of control soccer ball and mainly me..oops.I was such a klutz yesterday, haha. partly cause I was the spokesperson for smashing good times seeing that I wore our 225 class shirt which had the slogan printed on the back, and partly cause due to lack of exercise I haven't got the hang of throwing balls yet..haha..I'm sorry people!

but on the whole, it was really an awesome time spent together. The warm sunny day, the scalding, prickly sand beneath our feet, the fluffly clouds and lazy birds circling in the blue sky, the uncontrollable laughter that came from us as we attempted to snatch the soccer ball from each other...it was really great.=)

and you wouldn't believe the poses we got into when playing soccer and captain's ball. Since I was standing near the goal post most of the time, I was able to observe many many interesting things. Like how people will try to kick the ball and somehow the leg will just end up sweeping over the ball and not touching it, how there can be as many as four pairs of legs battling to get one soccer ball, how some people can look like they are part of an MTV when they run across the beach with the wind in their hair, how when guys play captain's ball, they can just shoot from one end to the other hand and the captain can still catch it..and how we look like ducks when we try to kick the soccer ball..(well, that was mainly me..legs at awkward angles)it was pure fun seeing all these.

indeed, it was a God-blessed time=)

haha, not to mention, I had the much-needed exercise.

the time spent together was defintely treasured and well-worth it. even if we did look like cooked lobsters and ripe tomatoes after that. and even the sustaining of body injuries and the tasting of sand(we were really vigorous players), were all worth it.

I will gladly take part in this again=)

haha. and girls, I think we've made significant progress on the bridge-building!

let's keep up the good work=) sammie, we're with you in the prayers!and thanks for the note, it was really sweet and I think for the both of us, we're on the road to recovery. it has been a tough two weeks, but with God, we can do this!haha, I'm going to attempt to sing turn your eyes upon Jesus every time the cares of the world start to draw me in!haha, and pray immediately whenever that seems to be the case!okay, we can do this. haha, cause He that is in us is much much greater than He who is in the world! 1 John 4:4(if I'm not wrong!)

yay.the week ahead is looking up!

oh, and sammie!shall we meet at city hall on tuesday?and study at raffles place's Starbucks?can the rest make it?
