The girls slept over with some BMC friends on Friday after their usual MMS meet up and spend the morning shopping at a $2 shop. Their hosts brought them for a hair wash and cut. The boys came cycling with me on Sat morning - joining my usual Sat cycle group. A total of 11 cyclists made our way to Farm Mart at Choa Chu Kang using mainly the bike paths as their road sense can be a little "different". Boys being boys, it proved quite competitive and going up a very steep hill was the perfect moment for a quick race. We did a total of 18km and that seemed quite enough for VR and RM.
Sat afternoon was worship rehearsal and they worked hard practising for their Sun item, a very catchy Cambodian song of praise. It was great to see them working together with Evangel youth as one. 430pm was Youth Group and I came in time to catch HK teaching them about the "wrong use" of their bodies. It was interesting to say the least, listening to the answers offered.
Dinner was a simple affair at the local hawker centre and thanks to the Szetos, Evangel ALLY extraordinaire, a bowling session was organised at SAFRA Mt Faber. It was the first time many of the COSI kids played this game and they enjoyed themselves immensely. Two kids got strikes and all the yelling and laughter were priceless. I was glad I was there to experience the joyful atmosphere. It was also Nahum's birthday and a little celebration with cake and all was a fitting end to a most enjoyable evening.

Their song item at church service went quite well though there was room for improvement. Many caught a nasty bout of the nerves, understandably. We had 3 young visitors from Pentacost Methodist who came to show their support and we were honoured to have them. I was very impressed with their love and concern for the COSI kids.The boys spend the evening playing football and both VN and VR were thrilled to move to their new host family. The Tans, whose 4 sons are football devotees - some Man U and some Arsenal fans. So how they get along together so well is a mystery to me.
I hope with such a packed weekend, the kids would not be too whacked out and that Monday blues will be kept at bay...
