1 hr left before i book back into camp, but i had a very enjoyable sunday indeed!

cell today was pretty special. may decided to do some passover thing today for everyone, complete with palm leaves, lamb shanks and blood smeared on the tops and sides of the doors. (ok so the ‘blood’ was orange crepe paper, but you gotta commend her for the effort) after we learnt abt the significance of the holy week, we had a nice time of praise and worship together. just worshipping God in the darkness of the room, illuminated only by the three tealights that represented the Holy Trinity… that was a nice experience.

and then there was soccer! sadly, there were no winners today cos the match ended at 4-4. i opened the scoring with a beautiful (and absolutely taiko) lob from halfcourt, hitting the netball pole to score. then… we basically just sucked and the other team made it 3-1. by some amazingly messy way, we somehow managed to claw our way back and level it at 4-4. that was when both teams just couldnt score anymore, despite letting play continue for like 30 extra minutes for our last goal. the game pretty much ended when ian tried to dribble past jonathan, kneeing the poor little boy’s back in the process of jumping over him. jonathan didnt have a good day today, being wrestled ard in the church office and pushed ard for the most part of the game, so that was pretty much the last straw for him. thank goodness he didnt cry for too long, and we managed to cheer him up in the end. yeesh, we need to learn to play less physical in the future.

okay, time for me to stop now. please pray for me, cos there’s a stupid test on tuesday that i have to pass or i’ll have to come back on saturday to retest. that’s no fun btw, esp since there’s good friday and easter sunday this week. whoo, cant wait (;

ahh… yet another week past, yet another bookout.

this week passed by relatively quickly, with our schedule almost entirely filled with lectures and practical lessons. the most annoying stuff we did all week was probably memorize all the different parts of the signals sets, and we’re gonna have to be tested on them this tuesday. setting up the sets shouldnt be much of a problem i reckon, but it’s the memorizing all the technical names of the cables and shit that will probably fail me.

saturday youth service today! it was meant to be a special easter youth service, evangelical in nature, but there were onli 5 newcomers and 4 of them were dawn’s friends. it’s a pity sarah, sam and sal couldnt make it in time to join us today, but the service still had to go on! the worship was a bit mmpf at the beginning, but things worked out towards the end. and the easter item that the youths put up was sooo awesome! kudos to all the actors, and a special mention for dawn and sarah, who worked so hard on this. so much for me being in charge, the two of you pretty much ran the whole show, and i thank God for that (: we did record everything down though, so if you missed the performance today, i’m sure you’ll have a chance to watch it online soon enough!

so all in all, it was a pretty uneventful week to say the least. my mmi (military medicine institute) ortho appointment wasnt very helpful, though they scheduled me for a bone scan next week and a medical review next month, so there’s still a chance that i might have to OOC if i do downpes. i also still have my reflections to do, and the stupid test to study for, and my logistics philosophy to memorize. oh well, it’s still the weekend! and in army, weekends are meant to be enjoyed (;
