Shifting

Thot i write about this which occured before the gate crashing thingy.


Borrowed props from GLCC early Jan for CtYF musical... but it turned out in early feb that we would not continue with the musical. And so, i had been keeping the props in the youth hall coz i thot i needed them for the movie version of the musical... which is another of my dream.


Discussed with Ji En & James, finalised props not needed coz we would be using real set or scene for the movie version. Made some arrangements with Ivan from GLCC, Jong Lee (for transport) and some youths to help. It was decided on yesterday 2pm but on Tuesday, Jong Lee called to say he couldnt. I didnt want to delay further and so asked Patricia for her uncle's lorry. I knew i had to drive if the driver was not able to make it... i did drive the lorry 2 years back when Rachel needed to transport some branches or stuff for NJC prom or something close to that. Thank God Kah Poh was in town and he volunteered to collect the lorry from tuas and drive to church.


At 2pm, JJ, Ji En, Vern, Aaron & Iz were there to help me. It was a far cry from the day we went to GLCC to collect the props. No one was able to help then and it was just Shing & James, plus Jong Lee & his lorry. Last minute, James couldnt make it and we were down to 2. Ivan helped a lot by taking most of the props out from the basement to the carpark portion. And so Shing & I had to carry the remnant. But our ordeal started when we reached church. With no trolley and Jong lee had to rush back home to get his dinner & come back for prayer meeting, 2 of us struggled with the bulky stuff. We carried a few and i started to feel hungry and strained. We were rather smart... as in i told Shing let's take our Nasi Lemak dinner first (packet back from Adam Rd Hawker Centre) to get energy to move. All the items were at the front porch and it was close to 7.30pm. After the meal, we started shifting and sure enough, my secret plan came true. There were some peope who came early for pm and they helped!!!! Oh Wow! Desmond, Michael, Raymond (if i dont remember wrongly) and maybe one more guy....oops.. forgotten. Thank God for them.. it was easy load. And thanks Shingy.....couldnt have done it without you :)


Yesterday shifting was really a breeze..... with so many pairs of willing hands...:) We started at 2pm, moved out of church at 2.20pm. Reached GLCC at 2.50pm. Ivan & his wife helped and by 3.05pm, we were done!!!!


The boys left to Adam Road Hawker Centre for makan and Kah Poh sent me home. He has this cute GPS Garmin and i kept telling him, listen to this lady in your lorry and not the automated one. haha.......


Thank God for withholding the rain too.. The sky turned dark when we were done. It was just perfect timing.


To Ji En, Vern, Aaron, JJ & Iz.... thank U! And to Patricia, Kah Poh & her uncle too!
