Met Wendy and we went to Cityhall for Macbreakfast before meeting the rest. We met Zile too! Playmax! was really fun and tiring, but it's worth reliving our childhood memories :) We had Udders ice-cream and lots of fun!
We went to some roller thing, it was really scary, but once you get the hang of it, IT'S REALLY FUN!! Wendy and Janani were like the first 2 while I came in third. Jovina and YiGin were really scared, but it's alright. They did well too! But cutting the corners, HAHA. Then we went to some chalkart place. That lady did so many designs that were amazing. And we did our own chalkart, to the horror of those who weren't artistic, aka Wendy and I. And i found out that 50% of the clique did not know how to spell our clique name, HAHAHA
I think that ExtremeMAX! was really interesting. It showed me how people could do real muscular stuff, especially that woman. And everything they did had a message, which was really inspiring. Yes, people may pull us from left to right, but we must stay focus and trust in God. And people may tell us lots of lies on who we are, and we get so affected by it, but today, that book of lies was torn. I am so amazed by this wonderful group of people who put their strength into action, with a story to tell. It taught me that no matter how many times we go to church, doesn't make us a Christian. It's when we commit ourselves to God and make him the No. 1 in our life that we will really feel extreme joy and a blessed life.
Then we went to ninjaMAX! and funMAX! where we had real fun! It was really fun from Stage 1 where we played what we played when we're young, to Stage 2, a lifesize version for young kids like the past, to Stage 3 where it was lifesize for us! It was really exciting where we could play and just be #foreveryoung. It was a real relieve of our childhood. And to our utter surprise, we WON funMAX! But we weren't there to collect our prize, so it's alright! :)
And then stageMAX! where we watched a skit. It really taught me about ourselves and made us reflect on who we really are. 'Cleaned outside, what about inside?' Can we keep thinking of ways to clean our inside when it's just not going to work. We need help from the OUTSIDE. Similarly, can we clean our own heart when our own heart is making us unclean? IMPOSSIBLE! Only God, the Maker of men's heart can clean our evil hearts. It makes me wonder, in my life, am I trying to always be optimistic, am I trying to lead or am I too weak that all I want to do is give up? But that's all cleaning the outside, but what about the inside? Maybe behind that carefree life and plastered smile is me, dying inside, hurting so badly, desperately needing a friend, thoughts running wild inside of me, difficult decisions, problems and everything else.. Maybe we should help everyone in need, regardless of what plight one is in. Maybe that might just make that difference, maybe that might save someone, maybe that might allow one to learn many life lessons, maybe God will make something better of that friendship.
Then we had lunch, but we missed Pastamania and Umisushi, so we had to settle for fried rice and chicken cutlet. But it was alright, I really enjoyed myself and the food tasted great! Then we went to shopMAX! and shopped. There were really nice and wonderful things. 'DREAM...' was what I got, to remind me to keep believing that everything happens for a reason, to remind myself to hold on to that little glimmer of hope, to not give up when times are tough, to endure. This year is going to be crazy, but don't forget to dream and believe, everything will work out fine.
Then we went to collect our goodie bags before going home. I had real fun today and it made me think about my life again. To treasure everything I have and be grateful, to not give up and trust the Lord, to have fun, but at the same time, don't forget the ultimate aim of the carnival.
And we overshot the time by 3 HOURS?! So we were inside there for 6 hours, that's like double the time we were allocated. Usually, we shouldn't be able to visit all the stations, but we did, apart from talentMAX!, but HAHAAH, it's alright.. We're awesome like that! :)
And guess what?! When I reached home, and bathed, I was flipping through the newspaper for an article so that I could complete my 5 newspaper reviews, and luckily Grandma helped me find one. And I went back to my desk to grab a scissors so i could cut that article out, but I ended up falling asleep on Grandma's bed. I just crashed and awoke at 7am today. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!? Okay, maybe I enjpyed myself too much that I was really tired. But oh well, luckily Grandma helped me to keep that newspaper, so I shall cut that article out now..
