Yeh! Singapore Indoor Stadium!

Yesterday after work, I quickly rush to Kallang to meet my CGM for the Festival of Praise Service. It was my first time going there. When I reach Kallang MRT station, I saw alot of people waiting for the chartered bus and I squeeze my way in, hopefully to get a seat but to my disappointment, I didn't get any. But I felt good cos at least I could manage to get into the bus, I am okay with it. I then stood right at the end of the bus and when a guy saw me, he strain his eyes to look at me and the sister beside him ask,"Why? You know the girl?" He then replied quite loudly that I could hear,"No, but she looks very familiar. Don't know where I had seen her before". He then strungs his shoulders and chat with the sister. I was thinking,"Excuse me, Do I know you? Don't think that I have seen you before" Or maybe it could be that I look alike of someone he knows. The bus was very cramp and I felt very uncomfortable standing near a brother who stood quite close to me.

When I reach to the Singapore Indoor Stadium, I saw alot of people heading at the East entrance. But luckily the queue was fast. I keep cutting my way through hopefully to get to the front. When I reach the Indoor Stadium, I scan around the crowds to look for HuiYi. Amazingly, I saw her right at the front row and try to make my way there. Imagine I could see her immediately from the thousands of crowds there! I guess it's the Holy Spirit who helped me to look for her. She then called me to ask where am I and she is at the front row. I then said to her that I saw her already and trying to find the exit to get to the ground(Feel like jumping over the frence but I can't)

Esther then help me to look for a seat. I manage to sit together between her and Samuel. The service was awesome! I heard that over two hundred churches in Singapore are in this hall! Wow! 200 churches and it's all mix, Anglician etc! The stadium is almost full house by the time the service starts. The screen show the list of the churches that is in this hall right now but it flashes so quickly that I can't even get to read all of it. It was alot! I tried to search for the names of the churches that I used to attend but so far I can't find it. Have been to a few churches since young before I finally settle down at CHC. I heard from my friend that the NCC is almost the same as CHC and she encourage me to attend it one day. I wonder where is it located?

When the Pastor Preach about the word, seriously speaking, with his kind of English, I really can't catch most of what he is saying. He is from Agentina(Is it spell like that?)and the way he pronounce certain words, I can't seems to understand. I then scan around the crowds hoping against hope to spot someone but I guess I couldn't see him. I know he's from another church but I do not know which church he belongs to. We then join hands together with the Brothers and Sisters to pray. First time seeing a mass of people praying together in the same place although we are from different churches. I am really looking forward to The Festival of Praise 2007! Where we will once again gather together and Praise and worship the same God!

After that Bro talk to us for awhile before we are dismiss. Some of them wanted to go for supper and Esther said ask us to have supper together and she will pay for our cab fare home. I was thinking,"Wah! So good?"but too bad I am broke again. If not I will surely join them. Stupid Agency! Told me that the pay will be out but till now I have yet to receive my pay! I wanna complain!(Joking) My colleagues also not happy about it and ask me to call them to chase it. Why am I the only one who should call to chase? Why they don't wanna call to chase too? It's not only my pay you know? I think Jia Xin said to me before it is usually the accounts department to handle our payrolls and if they are slow or miss out our timesheet, then that's it! We won't be getting our pay. KNS! I wonder what are the accounts department doing?

I think I shall end here for now. Will be going to Andrew's Birthday celebration later. Will update again soon!
