Ok. So I'm back from church. Today is like a well day with a bit of downpour. Woke up at 7.45am. Went to garena, see whether Benjamin online. No one online so went to play 1 dota match. Played Sk (Skeleton King) farm with 2 bracers, boot & radiance with just enough gold to buy Messerschmidt's Reaver. Killed Axe with radiance effect. Funny lor. That game quite nice. But a pity before i buy Messerschmidt's Reaver. Host disconnect and everyone left game. Zzz.
Played -aremomnp with bp. First match NS (NightStalker) vs Witch Doctor. NS win. Second match was troll vs Dark Seer. But Benjamin got to go. So quit match.
1pm, I left home for Redhill MRT. Was to reach there at 2.15pm and I thought i couldn't make it in time. And strange thing is i reach at 2pm. Thought was suppose to be 1 and a half hour journey but it was much shorter than expected. Reach there to find Samuel only. So waited awhile before Marcus and Edmund come with the refreshments. waited till 2.30 before we left for block 89. Walked there around 15mins bah. Had a briefing then help to set up some things before helping to call some children down. The children was aged between 6 - 12. Roughly around 15children came. Those that were not there, we had to go to their house and find them. Samuel and I run down to 3rd floor to find 2 groups of children. The first hosue we approached, we could not speak tamil. And worst of all, the tamil grandmother did not understand English so needed the help of the neighbours. Nevermind about that, we went to the next house. No one was in so went to the next house on the list which was on the 6th floor. Ran there and the grandmother lucky understand english. Told them to go to 4th floor at 3.30pm, the time we (cell group) would start the gathering. Went to the 12th floor to call the last group of children. No one was in also. Went back down to 4th floor and asked of the helpers to ask the 3rd floor grandmother to go with the children. Did not know how he did it, they came. -.-
First thing we did was to show a video, Veggietales. The story was about lying. Watched before when young so knew the show. Second was the storytelling. The story was from the bible, Dave & Goliath. After the story, a game was played. Something to do with the story. The children had to throw paper balls at the cardboard. And it was held by us (boys). Still need act die. But my acting is professional. Next was the games. They played passing the parcel. Which when the music stops, they have to open the parcel. And there will have another layer with a piece of instruction. The person has to do what the instruction says. The last parcel was a present. LOL.
Next was Art & Craft. They were colouring for very long. Passed the time we expected the thing to end.
Had refreshments and it was 5.25pm. Had debrief and walked to bus-stop. Waited for bus 145 so long. Reach church just nice 6.05pm. Service just started. And the most concident thing was that the sermon was on dave & Goliath. How weird is that?
Reach home earlier, 8.20pm. Ate dinner. Watched the review on Machiel Philt. Pro swimmer.
And lastly blogging.
Next outreach at Redhill is on 1st september. Anyone interested, can just find me.
Cheers,
Benedict.
