I just woke up and I'm tired... My muscles are aching from too much gym in Johor Bahru. Haha... The hotel was quite nice. Us guys got bumped up to the deluxe room cos the Hyatt people didn't have any normal rooms left for us. So that was a plus point. Spent Friday evening at the gym with Pat and Gloria before going to this hawker centre where a lot of Singaporeans go to eat. We had a feast which included Stingray, Crayfish, Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Kailan and Fried Toufu.

Bought some VCDs and headed back to the hotel. We went to visit the hotel's bar where they were supposed to have a 'live' band. I think what they meant by 'live' was that the performers were alive. Cos the band was just keyboards and a laptop. And I think most of the music was programmed in the laptop. The singers were quite good but it was just lame because we expected a band..
So we left to got back to our room to watch the VCDs. I think I fell asleep during the 2nd half of Van Helsing... Cos I watched it before. Was awakened early in the morning by Dennis who was snoring in my ear!! So I decided to sleep on the floor. Went to the gym with Dennis and Pat again that morning. I think I ran close to 6km altogether. Did assorted weight lifting too... Its more fun to work out with friends...

Went to Holiday Inn Plaza for lunch and shopping after that... Had a craving for pizza so we went to Pizza Hut. Again we ate to our hearts content... Went to shop around. Ended up buying a few games and a pair of socks... Wanted to buy some clothes but everything there was either 'skate' or 'fake'.

Came back quite early on Sunday morning cos I had to play for service. Shared a 50 ringgit cab with Gloria back to Singapore. Had a MacDonalds breakfast before taking a train Eunos. Worship was quite good. Saw people kneeling and tearing. Its nice to know that you're being used by God to minister through music. Kim Leng's comment was that we were finally sounding like a band which is supposed to be a compliment I think. Heheh...

Had to leave for the mission trip briefing before service ended. My parents fetched Gloria and I to Paya Lebar Methodist. My general impression of the people organising the camp is that they know what they're doing. Found out more of what I'll be doing over in Chiang Mai... PERFORMING ARTS!!! Enjoyed the dancing. Really fun! Wished I'd joined 2 or 3 years before... I think I'm the oldest guy there. :P Nevermind...
