yesterday too tired to write...yawnz...now also tired la actually ahha
anyway...after sch i went home..eat n bathe then left for westmall to buy more moulds, construction ppr, wrapping ppr and lighter...hmm spent about$50 on candles for 100 ppl...its not alot right?plus effort put in?then suppose to go to church..but hui wen forgot the flowers so we were suppose to meet at her house..but hmm we need a place where we can have fire available u see..but cant use their stove..so in the end went to his house...
so long since i've been to his house..his family so quiet le...last time so noisy de haha..his parents seemed happy to see me..esp when i see the smile on his mother's face...lol..anyway we stayed in the room most of the time to do the candles..so diffiult!!everywhere all full of wax..we even melted 1 of the plastic mould...then the tea light candle holder caught fire..the fire was like scary...i was like traumatized!!the last thing tt i ever want in my life is get burned alive u see tt's why i was scared..it's painful!!LOL!!but of course managed to put it out in time if not i wouldnt be sitting here and typing...haha!yuppz...so far we started making since...let's say 7?ended at 11?and we only made 21 candles...some of them not acceptable so threw away haha!is tt fast?dunno la but it sure is difficult..we spent so much time just to get everything going..and thanks to his wires or we would be totally drained just holding the candles and waiting for the wax to melt..haa!it was great fun!the hearts turned out not toobad...well at least i liked it..haha!!maybe tonight gonna continue again....
during tt time..sth cropped up at hui wen's house..they dunno how to make the flowers and make le the flower too small...so they were thinking of buying the actual rose..but its gonna be more ex i guess..given the fact tt valentine's day is approaching in a week's time..and fake flowers were proposed which i think is even more ex...well we only collected $2 from the youth and we r buying the fake flowerS?hmmmm...actually i dunno why the sudden change but i just wanna state my pt of view....no offence if anyone happens to read this...
i feel tt whtever gift we give to God as long as it's from the heart it doesnt matter..just like the pplwho give golds and silver and the lady who only gave 2 copper coins..God said who gave morE?the lady is his ans...why?cos she gave with a heart...she gave the best she could, she gave all she had...pls dun deny the fact tt money is always an issue when it comes to planning activites and stuff....budget budget and more budget...less budget more things done is always the so called motto...but we all went well with tt little budget tt we have...we were happy although there were some hiccups along the way but in the end..everyone was satisfied..why?cos its the thought tt counts..its the happiness tt we bring to God tt counts not the ppl...but now?we r gonna BUY the roses just to make the youth think tt their $2 is worth it?are their views more important than God's?REMEMBER!God doesnt look at things man looks at...he wouldnt mind if the rose is small or wht..as long as there is effort...he will be happy..isnt tt true?seriously im not for the idea of changing fromt he hand made ones to the ones tt are bought....why?cos wht's the point?we can just remind the youths to get a stalk of flower and write a love note..atached it to the flower and put it on the alter during offering..why must we even buy or order for them??yaa..its true..they wont appreciate in the end they will forget...but again is man's view so important?wht matters is God remembers we ever did this for him right?wht matters is God can feel tt we love him right?wht matters is we want him to know tt we remember him on this special day right?isnt this true?so why the debate about changing flowers?hand made flowers are more meaningful or sth tt is bought?when u give gifts to ur bf/gf...DIY stuff is better n more treasured or sth tt is just simply bought from the shop?u know it..u sure know it...now the next qn is why?why are we the ones doing it and not the youths?flowers are alreadyhard enough to make...candles are many times harder....so how are we suppose to teach them how to make when combined activity is not encouraged cos of the noise level and when there is limited space in the church?how are we supposed to teach them how to make?wouldnt tt take up to a day?we thought of this before..angeline suggested this before....but pros and cons..pros n cons..pros n cons...pros=its more meaningful cos its made by them to God and their $2 is worth it...cons=how many of us are available to teach?how long is it gonna take?where are we gonna do it?the $2 is a love offering to God..if they are not satisfied then dun give. i know i have no right to say all this...i also know im a coward, i dun dare to say or bring this up in front of others when there is a discussion why?just cos i dun wanna hurt the frenship tt we have between us...how else am i suppose to get my point across?i seriously dun see the point of debating. anyway just for ur info i dun wan credits...it can even go uncredited....all i want is to see a heart for God..a genuine heart for God. there is so many ppl, u cant pls everyone but there is only 1 God..and u definitely can please him.
*BE A CHRIST-PLEASER NOT A PEOPLE-PLEASER!!!*sorry for any offence taken=))everything's fine now..im just reliving back wht i felt yesterday...ha!jul ill help u with the flowers=)and dun worry ppl the candles will be there^^its going well so far=)alright tt's all i've got to say....back to work!=)
