synergiz

synergiz was indescribable. although i only went on saturday. argh!! why did syf practice have to be wednesday to friday?? haha. i so regret not going for more.

3rd day. daddy sent ps dave, alvin, bryan and me to downtown east. we waited there for a while and more people came..i bought like a lot of sweets for the whole day. plus some water.. blah. my bag was so heavy! with all the water, synergiz supplies and all. haiyo.

sat with nicole almost the whole day. morning, the praise session was not bad man. but i didnt feel anything. i remember alvin telling me that when we want to cry, when we want to respond, we are not letting God take control that lind of thing. so i didnt do much. just waited and waited. i little disappointing but...

offering. this person, i think someone like in charge or something, told us the like pray and keep silent before deciding on how much to give. i had only like $12 on my wallet for lunch dinner and travelling fare home since i spent $8 on sweets plus water and some other stuff. i remembered daddy wanting to give me more then i refused. at that point, i regret a bit but then the person told us to have faith in God and all. he said to stand when we were ready to give. everyone was like on their feet but i was still sitting. i had $2 in my hands but at the last moment, i took all $12 and stood up. i gave everything in my wallet. then i started to cry. nicole ws there to comfort me and she told me to take my time. thank you nicole!!

sermon, this indian pastor talked about the prophetic. he was quite comical. in his testimonies, he mentioned he asked God for the rapture bu nothing happenned in times of his troubles. haha. super funny. God really used him to tell people of His plans.

my sweets. all my gummys and sour threads. nicole took some, then a few other people took some. i was a bit reluctant to eat the sour threads. bryan asked me for some so i gave his the bag. in the end, the whole gag was passed around 3 rows. when it came back to me, all my sour threads were gone, what was left was only a few pathetic pieces of gummy. people were like telling me never pass food to amiel cos he would finish everything. haha.

alter call, i didnt respond. i didnt feel anything. so i just prayed and prayed. nicole was at the side. then i was at the chairs, lying in my seat. i heard crying and wailing. only a while later i realsied nicole was down. i wanted to pray for her but i was like shooed away. then i felt very unimportant and all. ian chew's friend was there too, and she was like crying hard. so i just prayed and accompanied her. i didnt even know her name! haha.

lunch, i didnt have anything. so i followed sarah around la. on the way to the food court, we saw liz, debbs and gloria. debbs was eating a packet of stick biscuits. i took one, then liz was like frowning and like," dont take!! that is her lunch!!! dun take!!!". i felt more unimportant. like what about me? i dun even have lunch.. but it was also partly my fault. cos i didnt tell them anything.

sarah was eating beef 'biscuit' noodles. ahaha.
we went to the grass area to join the rest of the timmies.
there, i had a piece of biscuit. those digestive biscuits for after food. but aiya. digestive biscuits are still bisuits wat..

later, i told liz and debbs when they joined us that my lunch was debbs biscuit and all. haha. their expressions were funny. but i was glad to tell them this. funny. i also dunno why.

i didnt feel hungry the whole afternoon! haha. i went for the smell of forgiveness workshop with nicole and amy, christina jie. ate and shared my only packet of maoam packet. i had 2 strips for the whole day, a biscuit, water, and i didnt feel hungry. this is a miracle. thank God. yay! haha.

the smell of forgiveness was reallt interesting. with alot of visual and sensual effects. haha!! the american pasotr walked around the tent spraying perfume and all. he was really interesting.

we stacked chairs them went out of a break.
after the short break, was a bit of praise. before that, amy, nicole, brandon and some other people were talking about what happened the day before. then slowly we changed the subject to being attacked by the demons and constantine and all. i was really afraid of being attacked.
inside the pemenant tent, was sitting in front of brandon, so i could like borrrow pens every now and then. haha. brandon has a pink pen. like so wierd! haha. nicole gave it to him or something. but one thing bad sitting in front of brandon. he will remind you of your fears. he went," i bet you are still afraid." haha. amy had to reassure me i was fine.

during praise, i still didnt feel anything, until we were asked to spread out, and then one by one we were anointed with oil. the person anointing me touch my head with his palm then i straightaway started crying. he was like," yes. yes. come. come." and all. i cried and cried.
then all the ministry workers were called out to the front to stand in a row. one by one, when they were touched, the started falling like dominoes. i was very emotional when i saw all these. i cried even more as i stood in front of a long row of people on the floor, some were crying badly. i recognised one of them. he was in front of me. he was smiling at first and i felt really touched. then he started to cry very bad. i continued to cry. but even harder. then someone held me from behind and prayed for me in tongues. then i could not stand and also laid down on the floor. the same thing happenned to me as tm camp. i was shivering and could not stop. but not so bad la. christina jie came and prayed for me in tongues. she told me to let go of all the anger in me, to let go of all the stress and sadness in me. after a while i was ok. nicole and sarah was on the floor next to me. there were like poeple around them holding them. even after the praise session, they were still there.

dinner before planet shakers. liz bought me a box of popcorn chicken. my wonderful dinner.

we had to queue behind a lot of people after ward. haha. but we managed to squeeze up to eliel, ian, elisha and a few other poeple. haha. the whole time ian was like talking about how to cut queue. 'finding contact lenses', flying kites, throwing shoes. blah.

we queued for quite a long time before we were allowed in.

once in, we joined the rest of the timmies up front! haha. so whats the point of queueing??

planet shakers was really fun. jumping here there, up down, everything. though i was super new to the songs, but i just joined in. i was with liz, gloria, debbs, alvin, eliel, serene, ivan goh, mellavin, kelvin, ian, blah blah. alvin was in front of me, he was really emotional. kept on jumping hard, then knocked me quite a few times. i jumped until my muscles ached bad but i still continued. haha. now, my muscles are still aching. so painful!! haha.

sam evans spoke for quite a while, then we sang lots more. so fun!!!
planet shakers retired for the night, then the crowd was like shouting," we want more, we want more.." haha. so no choice la. planet shakers came out for more. then afterward, the crowd went, " encore encore.." haha. sang some more. the leader asked if everyone wanted to go back already, and if they could go back already, but every one went noooooo!!! haha.
eventually, it ended. i jumped til my legs were reallt hurting. i tried persuading gail, beside me, to jump and all. haha. alot of people came into God's kingdom that night itself. it was my first time seeing so many people walking up front. so cool!!

after the whole thing, tm stayed back to peel the masking tapes off the ground, we had a fun time. haha. took some pictures, then hung around a while more before taking a cab with ps dave, alvin and bryan, home.

planet shakers was really really fun. i look forward to next year! haha.
