I'm feeling sick. Bleah. I'm still down with flu since thurs evening.sore throat and cough. Ahh..not gd manz. The food i ate together tasted quite blend and had no difference, including the tea which i drank in the afternoon plus my voice is cranky. Jialat la. But i really have to thank God that at least i no longer have fever. ;)

Just came back from META yesterday afternoon which started frm tues morning as i also attended leaders' pre-conference. The pre-conference was quite gd and i remembered that we had more that 3 hrs on learning how to interpret the bible. That session was gd juz that i kept getting 'pick' by the 'speaker' as i was feeling restless, tired and sleepy. Aiya..more than 3 hrs leis and the previous nite i only slept for at least 3 hrs.

As for the main META itself, i learned a lot and had lotsa fun. The seven of us danced for the opening and it was fun. Hehe.. I learned a lot through all the speaker sessions and T.E.D. which i took Pneumatology, the study of the Holy Spirit. My grp, Malachi, was super bonded, crazy, funny and damn on. The other campus, except for rp (they are part of tp, TRP..hehe), did not dare to 'penetrate' us. Haha.. My grp's cheer is hilarious and was even recorded and used in the video. Ahh..haha..damn funny can. Woohoo..

O..there was this game known as 'LOST'. There were 3 sets of different set of cards. We had to do something in order to obtain the first set of cards, which are to be combined to be changed for the second set and finally the last set. The objective is to obtain as many of the last set. It was not easy as there were different combinations. But in the end, my grp won. Yay!! Haha..

On thurs night, ForeRunners came down to play. The singers are real good k? Powerful voices. Yup..Throughout the whole of META, the most unforgettful day was friday. Friday morning i came down with flu and had to take panadol, which dun seem to have effect on me. Before Project X (Acts) in the afternoon after a short speaker session. we spent time with the Lord through worship and prayer. I remembered trying to hold back my tears during worship. I felt God's presence in me and my heart was burdened with many things. I really wanted to cry out but i controlled.

For Project X, my grp went back to tp to spread the word of God. At first i felt quite pressurised as i was partnered together with calyn jie jie. But was i reflected back, i thank God that she was with me as she was the one who pushed me to approached two of my friends. Five things i learned through this were: 1) The courage i tbought i had was different when i really had to do it. 2) It is easier in a sense when we share Chirst together with someone than alone. 3) There are many Christains in tp but not doing what they are supposed to do. 4) Never share Christ with a non-Christain when there is a backslider around. 5) The difference between Catholics and Christains. Yup..overall for Project X when all results were consolidated, a total of 36 people accepted Christ. Whee..how great is that manz.

As for night, i did not had dinner as there was dance rehearsal. But i ate a bun as i did not take my lunch. What we did not expect was we danced twice as the worship band also led the song we were dancing too. It was fun though. Hehe.. However, it was not gd for me. My throat started to hurt, was losing my voice and i came down with fever. So that night, i practically was a super sick person, fever, flu and sore throat. Ahh..how jialat can one get than me? I only managed to take dinner at 3 plus in the morning after everything plus 2 hrs 23 mins of sharing. Crazy rite?

Overall, META had made a difference to me and i gained a lot from it. I pray that the Lord will use me mightily and that He will guide and direct me as i continue to walk with Him. Yup..

Okie..tat's all..gonna go rest. Signing off.
