more Pipit Painting Photos! :)
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Hello! ok I finally am sitting down to upload the photos into this blog! SAY YAY!! :) Yup these are the photos for the MASS painting session at PIPIT RD!
We had many visitors too! They are: Vanessa's sister, YiHuang, MingHong, the 06S76 peeps (DePin, XuSheng, SutYee, QingYan, Christing, BaoPeng). Thank you dear visitors for coming! All of you contributed lots and we greatly appreciate it! The old folks you painted for love you too :)
And of course must thank the non-CG church ppl who came down to help too: Samuel Cheng, XiangYu, CA3 (FungMin, Patrice, QinPei, Jaslyn, Phu), NS guys (Robert, JieXun, Leon)! Hope you all had a gd time too painting and interacting with everyone else!
Mr. WU, The BIRTHDAY BOY!~ (also known as "verine" or "manizer". Why? Add his surname, say it out loud, and find out:))
During lunch break: Look at the hands we used to eat!! AHH. Thank God we said grace coz we sure need His Grace! Hahah ok none of us fell sick fortunately.
Our dear projectPAINTBRUSH I/Cs! :)

The victim:
Creative ways to keep clean:
Er okay...DePin and XuSheng should've been quite clean, but I guess FUN is always priority in the mind of any typical kindergarten kid! =p
Other random shots:
Hmmm this is our 3rd painting session already, and it seems that more and more people are showing interest in our project! It's definitely a great cause not only for God and for our own learning experience, but also a great cause for love. I think sometimes it gets really tiring and frustrating, especially when painting the ceiling, and also cleaning(!!!) because the floor has black muddy-ish patches and bits of stone-like particles even after cleaning over and over. Yet the old folks aren't appreciative sometimes and will fuss over some things when we are almost ready to declare "done!". But I think all of us really have the spirit of excellence and the desire to serve the old folks, and we continue to persevere despite feeling like giving up. Also wanna add that everyone's very supportive of each other and will not fail to give each other encouragements! Another blessing is that we have people like Songjun who never fails to be a blaring but definitely entertaining radio because whatever he says is not funny to the extent that it's funny.
Hmmm, I guess it's right that love really takes effort, and it doesn't just come "at first sight". It's hard to love the old folks sometimes but painting for them has really taught us to do so (e.g. when we get to talk to them especially, and when we need to borrow chairs and poles from them sometimes they are really very willing). Well, we also learn to love each other more and more! Some people dun like dirty stuff that much, and others may be frustrated at them not being sacrificial enough, but in the end everyone still learns to understand, love and help each other out. It's really about giving and taking! :)
Lastly, I just want to end off this entry with a photo that sums up the love I hope we can see more and more during each painting session, whether it's amongst everyone, towards the old folks, towards God... A love that never demands, and is always giving :) Awww... (there's no mistaking it!) haha! =p
See you guys at our 4th painting session coming up soon! Visit this website again for more updates! :)
too cool photos!

Look at how many hearts were all out to paint the flats for the old folks :)
We were lying on just one small part of the million square feet giant mall after our CG :)

We were chatting with her after finishing the paint job. And she actually broke down in tears when she was reminiscing about her late husband. Ahhhh.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONGJUN!

haha! a secret date to watch "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly" at 9.20pm after CG with Suet turned out to be a completely unexpected, spontaneous and hilarious outing which four other guys crashed. So Suet and I decided to hold our expanded date with Ryan, ACB, Cutcake and Ben...
...at the Vivocity arcade! haha, it was a little scary coz it was really quite empty and quiet. But soon we went crazy over this game that involves sliding white discs into the goal that the opponent has to guard (haha er I hope you can understand the description coz I forgot the name of the game oops) - I think we donated at least $12 to the machine coz we kept playing it! haha.. Another game we played was the "spot the difference" game with the touch screen, and we also went mad about wanting to mark our CG name "JCCA4" as the champions on the topscorers list... haha the next CG we have, we'll go check if our name is still at the top! HAHA!
After spending about an hour at the arcade, we decided it was time to go home. But a few people wanted to get drinks so we ended up at Carl's Junior! And all of us know that the best thing about Carl's Junior is that they allow you to refill your cup :) BUT ALAS, with Ryan's generosity, this is what we were blessed with:
Haha! We ended up playing with straws and did dumb things like trying to...
1)Drink from many straws joined up together to form long straws:
2)Drink from multiple straws:
3)Waste straws:
Well it was definitely worthwhile :) haha! We are definitely deprived children... Just one cup of drink can entertain us so greatly... lol... But look at us, don't we look like one happy family? Awww:)
Well, if you were thinking that this was the happy ending of a happy family outing, you are sure wrong... Guess what CUTCAKE (oh my.) suggested when we just stepped out of Carls' Junior, and this is what happened:
(This is my favourite photo! So CUTE! =p)
(This was Ryan's idea for us to look like we were in the Japanese Occupation... er... can you tell? lol! Think we're supposed to look dead. -_-")
Other family photos:
Finally, a splendid photo on the majestic flight of stairs....(at Dhoby Gaut MRT station -_-")... It reads: C A IV (CA4)! It was too difficult to make a '4' with just one person so we decided to use the Roman numeral =p
Yay! I never knew that we would ever turn out to be like this...
And this is just one of the chapters of JCCA4:)
I love this family of God <3
We had to paint at total of 4 flats! The conditions of the flats were mostly fine, except for the 12th floor flat which took lots of time to clean up. Heez... Here are some photos of the flats halfway during the painting session:
We were chatting with her after finishing the paint job. And she actually broke down in tears when she was reminiscing about her late husband. Ahhhh.
