Another week of work lies ahead of me. At least it is better than going to school.

My parents will be coming back from Vietnam tomorrow evening. I cannot wait to see them.

I took leave from work for the whole day. Morning was spent in church doing the follow up for the Good News Week. I led the follow up session being my turn to do so. The children were quite distracted during the session, but I tried my best to keep them in focus. After the session, we all went to Bedok Hawker Centre for breakfast.
Sunburnt. I drove down to National Sailing Centre to help out in the transporting of the sailing boats to SAFYC (Changi). Getting the sailing boats onto the lorry was very difficult because of its size and weight. Nevertheless, everything was done by three in the afternoon. The lorry made two trips, carrying four sailing boats per trip. In the process of working under the hot sun, I got serious sunburns all over my body. I will just have to bear with the pain for the next few days.
My parents called me at about five to tell me that they have already arrived in Singapore before I could go and fetch them. Their flight landed more than an hour earlier than expected. I drove to the train station to pick them up before going for dinner. We ate at Boon Tong Kee and the food was so much better than what I was eating at home for the past few days. Heavenly food.

Working all day long. Tomorrow is Good Friday, which means that I do not need to go to work.

Good Friday. I spent the morning in church. In the evening, I met up with Ron for dinner at Kallang Leisurepark before going to the Singapore Indoor Stadium for Good News Singapore. Tse Yun and her friend joined us in the queue shortly after we started queuing up. The queue was very long and I heard that the queue started at noon when the service only starts at seven thirty. After the long wait, we finally got inside and took the corner seats as it was the only seats available at that time.
The service was in English and Mandarin (which kind of irritates me). Other than that, the speaker was very anointed and he touched many lives. Hundreds of people accepted God and many were healed of their diseases and pains. I am truly amazed by the miracles that God can do. Nothing is impossible for God, nothing.

Goodness me. I cannot believe that I messed up in the regatta. Of the two races completed, I avoided the finish line because I thought that it was another course for other boats. I felt so silly but it is already over. I will cross the finish line tomorrow.

Easter Sunday. I am missing Easter Sunday due to the regatta. The weather was not the best and the wind conditions were not ideal for sailing. For a moment, the wind was quite strong and everyone was hoping that it would stay that way, but it did not. Light showers during the regatta dampened the day. All in all, I managed to finish the last race on a high. Thank God for making this possible.
Dinner was at Seafood Paradise. Delicious seafood dinner after a tiring day out at sea is a great way to end off the day. After dinner, my family headed to my grandmother’s house to eat mango pudding.
