What a day!!! Woke up early to prepare for preservice prayer. Found too many verses. Quite anxious as I was waiting to go speak but everything went smoothly. Thinking back, I've decided that I need to slow down myself when speaking under stress. So that I can be clearer and be understood better. Like I always tell people... I'm a better writer than a speaker.

Worship wasn't very good. The band was quite distracting, but I managed to focus on worshipping Him. I think the bass and the acoustic guitar were out of tune. And the drums were spasmic. Speaker today was from Korea. Had a cute accent. Talked about different types of teachings in church. For example, those who only speak of blessings, or those who speak the wrong topic to the wrong congregation. He's very dynamic and passionate about what he believes it. Speaks with fervor. Can't tell if you meet him on the street though.

Had a blood donation drive in church. This was my second time donating. Felt fine all the way until the nurse took the needle from my vein and pressed a piece of cotton wool to my arm. A few minutes after that it felt that the room was getting hotter. And I started to feel very hungry. Like a void in my stomach. Then, I started to feel nauseated. Thats when Eugene came and asked me something about my band. I couldn't comprehend what he was saying cos I was feeling damn uncomfortable. Started breaking out in cold sweat. Then I heard him say, 'Eh.. You ok or not? You want me to get the nurse?"
Just as I said yes, my vision started getting blur. You know when your television has no reception, the white noise you see on the screen...? Thats all I saw before the nurse came and elevated my feet. Felt better after 15 minutes. But it was quite an experience.

Went for band practice after that. Managed to play even with the MASSIVE BLOOD LOSS! Hahaha... Practice was good. Ended at 5pm. Then I joined the rest of the leaders in the conference room for GG meeting... Had a wonderful time of worship. I want to worship like that with the whole service. It was AMAZING... It was so strong. Just like what I remember in old church camps. We're getting there!!!

Had dinner at parkway parade. Joined some others at Burger King to chit chat... Went to buy new strings for my electric guitar. Spent $10.50 on them.
Gotta finish my report and hand it in by wednesday. I want to finish it and hand it in on tuesday... I'll continue with it when I wake up later...
