Event of the day: PLAYMAX! 

Hey guys! Wow, today was really a long and tiring day, but I really enjoyed it! How many of you have attended a Playmax event before? Well today was my first time, and I was a volunteer to help out in Ninja Max! Well, if you guys don't know what Playmax is about, let me share with you! 

This is actually an event organised by SYFC - Singapore Youth For Christ. Its aim is kinda like to evangelise to youths who have not heard about Christ and more. For this event, they target towards the 10-19 year olds, but yeah older people also can participate in the activities. Just by looking at today's turnout, there were really many MANY young children, youths and even 20+ year olds! 

Team Xtreme, a Christian Power Team, also came down to preach. As quoted from their website: Team Xtreme uses their tremendous physical size and natural abilities in sports (you'll see further down) to share about their lives and speak with youths about some of the hard choices they face in their life, urging them to stay away from drugs and alcohol. They stand up against the stream of voices selling destructive life-styles and encourage honest lives that are morally upright. When they performed, they also shared about their own lives and their own difficulties and they preached so wonderfully! One of the things Selena (one of Team Xtreme) said was really something I agree with. She said that today those who came (and yesterday) wasn't by chance, the fact that they came and they heard the gospel, was something that God had already arranged.

And you know, I feel that this is the same for us Christians. God already has planned what's ahead of us. Even though we may feel uncertain about some things that happen in life, but ultimately God already knows what is going to happen. So, I guess we just have to put more faith in Jesus and know that all things will work for our good (though sometimes we can't see how they could hehe). Also, since I helped out in Ninja Max, it's a super tedious activity. You have to go through many hard obstacles, no kidding. One thing I learnt from today, is (cliche as it sounds) to never give up. No doubt whatever crap you get, how hard it may be (like the low wall/cable row), NEVER SAY NEVER AND NEVER GIVE UP. Seeing the participants-competitors go through the tough obstacles just now, and their sheer determination to complete the task, was really applaudable. I definitely cannot be like them, so agile and ninja and strong, but they taught me to not give up and to just keep trying and trying till I really get pass that big wall in front of me. 

Well all in all, this was really a super memorable event. I made new friends and I bonded closer to my own church friends. Hopefully there will be more of such events because I'll want to help out more and maybe try to preach the gospel to people too! And, YOU BETTER BE THERE NEXT TIME COS IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME! Trust me, it's really THAT good! And you'll also get to take photo with cool people hehehe ^^ Okay, time to go rest now, I'm so exhausted! Bye guys! (:
