Part 2 of the earlier blog.
We played until 130am, was quite fun playing with them quite experts since they played every sat... until this retreat never knew that in my co got so many (du gui)n (yen gui) n (jiu gui), quite a number of pp in the retreat just enjoy producing "contaminated air"...
Collected quite a no. of sea-shells... this retreat also allowed me to have plentiful of rest since i slept during the bus journey, time when i'm free... opportunity to recover from the hectic life for the last 2 weeks esp, clocking in more than 80hrs of OT for this month.
Opportunity to get to know my team-mates better and opportunity to share my life with them and to share my belief with them too.
Today was reminded of God's providential for everyone of us, He gives freely even though our behaviours at times seems lack of faith, but God have already drawn a plan for us and He will executed it even when we grumbled in our situations. Like Naomi, she cannot forsee what will happen in the future, the same will apply to us. Only when we reach the end and look back and see the whole picture because at that pt, we could see our bitterness but not what God's plan. think we will not able to understand y God allow things to happen to us not according what we wants. Faith is trusting in God even it's quite senseless for us to follow. Having study this book, have felt a stong urge to pray for someone whom have strayed from God for a long time, this's my prayer that she will return back to God even though she may not comprehend the happenings in her life.

Back from Desaru
Finally, back in spore after 2 days 1 night at Desaru with my company... actually, don't really enjoy my stay there, 1stly the food there wasn't very "eatable", when we reached there on sat afternoon for lunch in the resort, the buffet was nicely laid out on the table for us to take, but the food was cold already... Saw other dishes not very appetising so took the last item which i saw at least "meant for human consumption"... when i reached my table, the moment i swallowed my 1st mouthful, suddenly got the feeling of doing the "merlion act"... Horrible, think it's the smell of sourish... so end up, having my lunch = no lunch... :(
Oh, we went to the Desaru fruit farm and their "mini Kelantan", taken quite a number of pics there... had a couple of nice pics which i think i intended to go and develop. (that was before we headed back to the resort to check in and have lunch). After lunch, it was suppose to have a team-building thing, but due to poor responses, so have changed to trip to one of the fishing farm nearby. Again, it's not compulsory, so end up only less than 1/3 of the whole company went... the rest either sleep in their rooms, or head for a cool swim in the resort pool, or even take the extreme sport which my room-mates went.. 4 me, i decided to head for the beach to relax and pick the "sea shells". the sea was very beautiful and took a quite of pics there... after a while, got too hot, decide to take shelter in the main lobby... quite co-incidental, saw 1 of my team-mate CK and her friend...they also got nothin to do, then they suggested playing mahjong in their room. Not a bad idea, since i didnt touch the game for many years liao. played a couple of hours b4 we went down to have our BBQ... was quite shiok, managed to win most of the sets despite didnt touch the tiles for so long...
The BBQ dinner was sightly okay, being siasu, i was among the first few who took the BBQ stuffs, because the food we taken was quite well-cooked unlike the later batches when the chefs were being "hurried" to cook as many as poosible end up under-cooked... after dinner, my rm-mate headed for a hr spa while i decided to stay in the room to rest... after a while, got really bored, so drop by the "mahjong siow"'s room( y i called them mahjong siow is becoz they have mahjong sessions every sat).Actually when they asked me to join in for the evening sessions, i told them i wont be playing (they will be staking S11 this time rd). They were playing Monopoly when i reach their room, played with them until we got so sian with the game). C called her fren and his assoc, asking them whether they interested to play mahjong or not. End up they brought 4 jars of beer with them, played until 130am. (To be Continued...)

Burning on my skin!!!!
Help!!! My skin is burning hot.... and very itchy too... from the scotching sun the whole day!!! :( hmmm, though we lost all our games today, but the exposure and the experiences we gained is cannot use s11 to gain.... Reflecting back, as what a couple of players observed, that we are improving all the time, from an egg to scoring 3 goals at the last game... :) But certainly, we got a lot of room for improvement for the game(from observation from other teams), like our stamina, our forehand throws, misses, which could possibly leads to goal etc... passion for e game? i think i fall in all the above categories.... :( passion for the game always let down by poor stamina!!! Eeeez...
To available myself for today's game, have been working sometimes close to midnight everyday, til to go back office last sunday to catch up on my work...work quite draggy esp when things moved very slowly and dateline is closing on every min every sec... Sometimes feel like giving up.... but always give myself reasons to push on!!! thought that my body is giving way soon, esp on thursday when i started to have sore throat, coughs and feverish... :(
but was completely okay by friday evening....
For BSF, we doing on one of the mini series which is on the book of Ruth, only read this book once in my entire christian life... so this was an opportunity to get to know this book better... & 1 thing i learn that Ruth was a non-J and it was repeated 4 times and i read it thru in e past and even w/o noticing it.. so "cock-eye".... Y God choose to include Ruth in one of the books even though she's not a J? Was Ruth have the desire to part of His pp?(v16)
also learnt from the class that God is always at work in us in our darkest times(quoted from L), .... thru all these lessons and questions have indeed deepen my understanding about the bible and the history behind it... Never got the chance to go deep into behind the lines, but BSF have given me this opportunity to do so... have ever shared with my DL that my understanding of the bible, or the way i interprete is pretty shallow, sometimes can be very stressful during the discussion times, when everyone sharings seem very "deep"... have to enjoy this opportunity since it's only happened only once provide i dont drop out of the class lah. :)
Okay, time to get back my B.S (haven started for today's questions) :p
