geri is the sweetest thang!
she & sammikins came at 12 midnight just now to surprise me!
but they waited quite long outside cos i bath for..quite long? HAHA.
and then after i came out, my mum told me i've friends outside waiting to surprise me. HAHAHA I LOVE MY MUM. this is one of the million reasons why.

then i called geri & ask her is she okayyyy.. why she quarrel with sammikins.. don't be too sad.. etc etc. i should compete for best-actress, or most-evil-friend. haha

thanks dear for the cake!

thanks dear for the dress.
the immediate trying out tells you how much I LOVE IT! (:

and thanks dear for the thong-card & the letter.

thanks dear for being one of my HANDFUL of friends in school (school would suck real bad without you),
and thanks dear for running up & down town to find the dress,
for sewing the 21 YOURSELF,
for coming to my house so late,
thank you sammikins for driving her here!
i am so beary touched -bearhugs (':

i think i can finally start to relax a lil
goodness. planning a party sure is tough.
this week has been a nerve-wrecking week for me.

the booking of venue, sending out of invitations, preparations of the food, other essentials, deco, programme, the attendance, transportation, shopping for what im gonna wear, blah blah blah AND THEN geri told me on monday saying that downtown east costa sands only has ONE table allocated to ONE bbq pit. oh my oh my. that totally stressed me out man cos i have SIXTY-FOUR confirmed attendance. where are my people gonna sit?!

i panicked, panicked, panicked, called up downtown east a few times and yeah, they told me there's only ONE table. WHAT AM I GONNA DO! the table only can seat like, TWELVE people. the other 52 can sit on the trees.

so like, tuesday i was supposed to meet eunice to go shop for another dress but then i decided to go down to downtown east personally to recce the place cos I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. don't people always organise parties there? isn't there always enough space? so i drag the VERY KINDHEARTED (feel compelled haha) eunice yip to go down with me.

along the way i kept praying (frantically). i pray that the bbq pits around mine are all not booked so i can take their tables. i pray that mine will have a few tables instead of just one (which is really silly cos it's impossible). geri darius ask me to book one more chalet. but that means i must spend alot more. i have sponsors (thank you) but i'm reluctant cannnn. and confirm cannot get another chalet that is BESIDE MINE one cos they are already ALMOST fully booked for friday!! -WAILS BIG TIME- ohwell. i'm a Christian, i trust the Lord my God. for all the preparations so far, He has been my Sustainer. and just the night before, during my quiet time, God reminded me once again to take heart, & trust Him because of WHO He is. that what is impossible with men is possible with God. (Luke 18:27) and so i took the impossible to God in prayer.

dear heavenly Father, my chalet dont have enough space. there's only one table. wheregot enough space for 64 people. Lord, i pray that the bbq pits around mine aren't booked so i can take their tables. Lord i pray that mine will have many many tables. ok sorry Lord, i pray for space, i pray for spaceeeeee to accommodate my 64 guests dear Lord. and i don't want to spend so much money to book another chalet Lord. i don't wantttttt :/ i don't know howww but Your ways are higher than mine, and Your wisdom i cannotttt fathom.. Lord, i entrust the matter entirely unto Your hands, for what is impossible with men, is possible with You. and i thank You for the privilege to carry allll my anxieties to You in prayer. i pray for Your divine PROVIDENCE & i pray for Your deliverance Lord, allll theseeee i petition in Jesus' most powerful Name. Amen.

and then i went there in anxious anticipation

first of all, i found out that
THIS

is my smelly pit

with really ONLY ONE smelly table!
to top off the bad news, my chalet is on the 2nd floor so the level one corridor space, i can't touch.

there's a small patch of grass beside my bbq pit
reckon i can sardine 52 people there & ask them to make themselves at home.

CRAZY.

i went to the counter and like, the woman said i can only find out whether the other bbq pits are booked on that day itself. and that i can't change my room from the 2nd floor to a 1st level one because i didn't request for it & that my chalet is already FIXED. they don't allow us to choose. it's allocated & that's it.

so i was like okayyyyyyyyyyyy. and then like, while me & eunice were discussing how dead i am, another YOUNGER (haha ok that was unnecessary) woman was clicking away on the comp & then she tell me that there's ONE LAST 1st level chalet but it's DELUXE so she ask me whether i want to upgrade. then i ask her upgrade to deluxe, must pay how much more. she said TEN BUCKS. wow so cheap! ten bucks can get first level one (which means i can use the corridor space on the 1st floor) i immediately upgraded!

then me & eunice went to recce again and

HERE'S MY NEW CHALET

BLOCK L, room 2101

with alot of corridor space for me to utilise

and mine's the CORNER one so there's SOMEMORE corridor space at the side (you can ignore the yippie eunice)

and best of all,

there's a whole big patch of space infront of my chalet
PLUS many many more benches (CAN YOU SEE 'EM OH MY OH MY)

PLUS a pavillion somemore!

praise GOD for His wonderful providence of spaceeee beyond my wildest imagination. all my stupid suggestions/thoughts/solutions to The Space Problem are like RUBBISH compared to His most perfect solution. His wisdom & ways, i really cannot fathom. praise God for answering my prayer that i don't have to smash more bucks on the venue. all glory to God my faithful Provider, He never fails (':

i want to sing Matthew Ward's song man.
knowing Youuuu, Jesus,
knowwwing Youuuuuuu,
there is, nooo, greaaaater thingg. (':

i wish all my beloved friends know my Jesus :/

how He has touched my heart,
how He has died a blameless death to redeem me from all my sins,
how He has led me day by day,
taught me day by day,
blessed me day by day
My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure.
(Psalm 71:15)

But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
(Psalm 73:28)

i MUST tell of all your deeds.
