We try and we try to stuff and to screw... But it can't go in... We was wondering... is the base(stand) wrong or what... So, we took out all the screw out again and start over... ended up with the same thing (base)... So we thaught that it should be the tree problem... My god brother took a pair of sciscors and started trimming away the 'leaf' at the bottom... And after a few trial... We manage to fit it in... We were like FINALLY!!! We were sweating like mad but we were still jumping around cheering and being so excited or... a lil too over exited. 

Next, we open up the 2nd layer of the christmas tree... or maybe we THOUGHT it was the second layer... I notice something weird and said : " how come the "second" layer so big wan?? like much bigger than the "first" layer" After asking that stupid question... we just realise that we fixed it wrongly... As i said we THOUGHT it was the second layer... After all those effort we made trying to stuff the tree in... we had to take it out again and put the correct layer in... Thank God this time it was much easier... LOL. After that... YAY!!! I can finally say and not go wrong again that WE FINALLY BUILT UP THE TREE!!!!... both of us were super exshousted but we had extreme fun and laugh...

Next it is time to decorate... This is much easier than building it up (like MUCH MUCH MUCH)... After finishing everything... We look at the Christmas tree we built all by ourselves and gave a big smile of satisfication =)... After that... since I was fasting... Lovely Aunty Ngat Hoon (My god bro's mum) made a homemade mushroom vege soup jus for me... So lucky and warm... Its like a reward after that hardwork ^^

Another hillarious thing happened when we were building the Christmas tree... Since the Christmas tree was kept in a big box (rectagular shaped)... it was kinda dusty and all... and we found 1 coakcroach dead in the box... And a conversation started between my god bro and I :-

After that great laugh... we begin to work... and I saw another dead cockcroach stuck on the tree... Yucks... Din;t dare to touch it afterwards... My god bro... this time... took a handful of kitchen towels and wrapped the cockroach up like a mummy... Lol... a mummified cockroach (sum more got coffin). Well... so this is how much fun we had... It might seem quite boring reading it... cos I know I quite "luo suo" but it was a great fun and a great experience... =)

I was asked to join spelling bee because there was not enough people from my cluster to participate in this competition. Well, thanks to my "yes yes" attitude, I said yes, and im in... and guess what... the prelims is the next day and I hav like 1500 words to study in a few hours time. I thought it was gonna be easy... but with the pronunciation and all... OH MY!!! It is worse than word power! (well, maybe because i dislike spelling and prefer memorising) That night, I was in church till 12am, practicing drama for drama compertition. I couldn't control my emotions and cried, thinking of quiting, but something in me just ask me to hold on. When I reach home, I thought of printing those words out to read in my bed, cos my dad was very mad of me coming home late, so it won't be wise to study that time. Unfortunately, there was 150 pages to print and printing those out is a NONO!!!! I couldn't think of anything to do at that moment, so I sleep -.-".

The next day, I went early to church, thinking that I can have the resources to study but the answer was no. Finally, I became wise enough, to depend it all on God! AMEN! I quiet down my heart in the cafe, and prayed quietly. I commit every single thing onto God's hand and believe Him that through Him, nothing is impossible. So here it comes, spelling bee prelims, I said my last prayer before going up for the competition. Miraculously, I passed the prelims easily and Im in the finals (YAY) PRAISE THE LORD!!!! =)

Well, since I'm in the finals, I planned to go all out and do my best for God and also for my cluster. After recieving those finalist word list (thank God this time it is just 200 words)... I immediately started studying in front of my computer (checking the pronunciation), hoping for the best. After weeks of studying, finally the day come. I was super nervous, to be honest, afraid that I will shake like how i used to in front of everyone. Despite that, I was confident, not over, cos I have studied everything, almost (of cus in the 200 words, there will be some that I'll forget or miss out). After being tested by some friends, I became more confident. Of course, again, before the competition started, I commit everything to God again through my prayers, believing that only with Him on my side I can win this competition, cus my competitor was quite a tough one i suppose.

So, the time has come, the competition started. Once our pronuncer (MISS KOH ESTHER wohoo!!) pronunced our word, we stunt. Although we both got the first word correct, the rest of the 4 were all wrong.  None of the words we study in the list they gave us came out!!! We became more nervous and nervous each time, hopping that this will end fast. (Well, we are still humans) So... it came to the lightning round where both of us have to press the buzer as quick as possible to answer and the first one who answers correctly wins. The funny thing is, when the word is being pronunced, both of us look at each other not daring to press the buzer. The lightning round became the 'waiting round'. After a few rounds of 'waiting', the host finally get bored and gave us a word 'UNBELIEVABLE'. I pressed the buzer first and spelt the word correctly and I won the competition (yay... not) This is the first time I actually won something but don't feel the joy over it. I felt sad and teared again... (weak'nya) All the weeks practicing preparing myself for this competition, have just been a waste like dat... That was what I thought first. I tried my best to let go of this, trying to forget 'bout this thing, and finally noticing that I was just escaping the truth and not facing it.

Again, I quiet down my heart, and prayed to God, asking Him to bring my joy back again. And now, I can feel joy and peace in me and Im happy again and as Chi-La as usual =) Foot drilling in the other hand went on very well, won a silver for that, but 1 thing I wanna thank God most for that is the fellowship and for those new friends I made ^^. This years emerge, although had cos me many tears, but I believe that God is stretching me, and preparing me for better things that are going to happen, especially leading and training up new batch of leader for my CF annual Easter Rally again. I know very well in my heart that it is gonna be very tiring and a tough job for me (add on the stress for facing SPM next year) but I am prepared and this time, more prepared to be stretched and used by God again and also believing that He will always be there for me, to give me rest and strength when I need it! =) I believe a better purpose in me! Emerge for me this year, one word to describe - UNBELIEVABLE!! =) Emerge is over right now, but we CHCians have just started to rise! AMEN!!!! Our God is a good God. =) ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST ASK AND BELIEVE! (according to His will of cus) ^^... Really wanna thank God for giving me a chance to participate in these competitions, making me like things I dislike before. Also thank Him for placing me in such amazing church with amazing people!!!!! Of cus I also wanan thank my leaders and also those who asked me to join spelling bee and footdrill ^^
