it's wednesday?

hmmmm....

it IS wednesday.
been having a non-stop action and also sleep-action after exams. the back of my head was seriouly numb due to not having enough sleep.

let's see... i stopped at when? last thursday... ok...
yeah... somehow i refused to sleep. only woke up at 2.30pm on friday with arthur 15 minutes later.

anyways, friday was Thanksgiving Night at OCF.
partnered with janice to play the piano.
we had sharing and we see the many 'thank you' offerings to God.
i guess the OCFers also see another side of richard that has been kept quiet in his heart. something that he carried with much pain.
he is going home(early due to other commitments) and a big part of his heart is left here with OCF in Adelaide.
i am honoured to be able to serve together with him in the committee in the same two years/terms. to have a brother and a friend at the same time. the times that we had... hee hee

friday was also naughty a bit. knowing we had committee meet at 7.30 am the next morning, arthur and i played dota with D the whole night or morning. didn't sleep. D messaged us, 'eh... got to end the game. you all got to go for meeting' during the game. we needed to practise the new version. can understand, right? haha...

athur was talking with a lot of sense with a no, and i had seriously short memory and memory lapses due to the effect of not having sleep.

after the meeting was church practise. the lack of sleep seriously took my memory, forgetting what to play. thank goodness it ended early. i came home and slept. and at 6pm to go to a family friend's house. i slept through my alarm that was set at 5.30. terrible...

came home... and made sure i slept early this time.
went to church and there were OCFers that went for cycling. initially wanted to go, but decided not to, or my body will be overworked. wanted to sleep, but ended up playing dota instead.
then the big event came in the evening. overnight Dota. 10 comps in barton terrace. we started quite late. but that didn't matter. we had the whole night/morning.

having it non stop, we had to sleep in the end. at 7.30am. till about 3pm. and it was cold. arthur and i overturned our mattress to use it as a blanket. and after some pizza(9 for everyone) we played some custom games which are seriously so funny. they are simple games. but seeing each others antics and stupid mistakes or movements, it is just so funny. played till 11pm.

and that time, we really had to go home. had to set the limit. no more. and that's no more for a long time. we got to get back to the reality of life. i didn't see the sky for a whole day. and then we really felt the strain. on our minds and our backs and legs. felt like a short camp. that's the guys bonding session. so girls, don't shake your heads.

and on monday, eh? oh.. its tuesday. yes, our clocks were screwed up. tuesday, went to build up the library, the archive cupboard and the refreshments cupboard. bunnings warehouse, twisting arms and flattened thumbs, we built it up. the library looks quite good. hopefully, the OCFers use it and grow in God's Word.

with all that has happened, 'Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path'. Psalms 119:105

don't forget to pray.
