den we went to cards and such to search for a greeting card . but suddenly we recieved a call and realised that its 2 more people to Yilin's turn to be baptised !! off we ran back t0 church . i knew it was actually not possible that we can rush there in time . but coz of GOD, this is so not the case . while running to church i prayed that we will reach in time to witness Yilin being baptised . and i totally forgot about it till just now ! see how ungrateful i am .. :( we met Yilin's parents at the l0bby and we rushed to lvl 3 . praise GOD ! she is the next 0ne to be baptised . there was even time for us to take pictures of her ! haha .

Wanting and me witness sth really funny while walking to far east -> this woman who walked past us , suddenly raised her v0ice, and said sth like ''im crying you know ??!!
