one week after the actual mother's day, our church something new: instead of having a parent's dinner in honour of the mother's day in church as we usually do, teacher lifang asked around and decided to hold the celebration beyond borders. i was pretty honoured when pastor junhui called me up and asked me if i would like to join the team. and without hesitating (yea rite...), i said ok. i must really thank God for His providence in the preparation and even during the whole trip. me and guorong were tasked to take the publicity and figure out the games to be done during the lunch there. publicity involved creating brochures, meaning suicidal mission for an aritistic-neuron-dead person like me. managed to asked esther for help and she did. she din expect anything anything in return, and i was eternally grateful to her (as long as my ingrate memory allows it...) and the games were easy feat, with inputs coming from all sides and copying from other games we played before.

the one-day trip started really early. i had to reach church by 6.30am and i thought i was going to take cabbie with all those gifts to church alone. but it so happens that my dad has his company van with him and so he volunteered to bring me there. wow! although i was a little disgruntled at having to go for the trip, seeing how God prepares the way for me, i guess i really should have no issues:)

and so we arrived at the spore custom and the pic below shows us waiting for some of the people who were still getting cross-examined by the customs.
