Okay. Tuesday, today. (: Because it would really be too long to include everything. And so weird to continue after those nice songs (: So yup. Decided to create another post for today. Woke up at 1.30pm at claire's place this afternoon (: ( we slept at 4.30. 9 hrs of sub-consious slp. because it was too squeezy to fall into a deep sleep.)
We went to orchard to pei Darren to get his christmas presents. After which I left for Youthdance at TC. And no i didn't get a new top. I was wearing Claire's clothes which was a top and a skirt. hahaha. And so Suzanne brought Lisa's PE shorts for me. What weird dance attire. AND. I had to dance bare-footed and without my precious precious contacts. :/
Still. thankfully the dance wasn't that bad. I mean. I was expecting a super difficult and hard to catch dance because I didn't know this song and Darren told me it was a weird song with a lot of off-beats. But thank God, the dance was okay (:
Got to rehearse though. Thursday is the full-dress rehearsal once more. Everyone who reads this post, please pray for Candy ok? Because she has an injured toe and sprained both ankles which obviously means she can't dance if she doesn't get well...so ya...we shall pray hard..Candy don't worry ya? i'm sure you'll get well in time (:
Took a cab home because Suzanne had curfew at 11pm. The cab driver asked us if we went to buy something. We replied we went for dance. Then he asked where. And we said, church. (The entire conversation was in chinese. Which meant we couldn't really understand everything he said and what we could explain or tell him was also very limited.)
And he went on about how church is all fake. And his religon was the right one. That he had supernatural powers. He claimed that he could heal or kill people with his mind. That he colud communicate with 'god' and demons and something else and something else. He said he knew he would have eternal glory after his death. I cried after sending suzanne to her doorstep.
How many are out there being deceived. It is logical even to human minds that to kill is wrong. Yet he apparently thought he did everyone a favour as 'they were proud and deserved to die' Not that i believe he actually killed them with his mind, though it might be possible with demonic power. But that he 'could do something so wrong' yet believe it was right, and that he would have eternal glory in heaven after his death.
Thankfully God's presence was with us, which prevented us from being so freaked out that we would probably have just scrambled out and taken another cab regardless of whatever ulu road we might be at. i'm not shaken in my faith. i know God is real, that Jesus died for me, that God is a loving God. i know my faith is not blind faith. I may have little faith to believe for miracles in my life, but i'm convicted enough to be absolutely sure of these. But i'm glad God brought us to that cab. And I thank God for it.

To love a nation that's fallen apart
With compassion, igniting a spark
