Marina Barrage

Before Saturday, our kite out day, everyone was really concern about the weather in Singapore.

I start receiving lots and lots of SMS and watsapp!!

R says: "Abby, I think you should just postpone the event, it was raining for the whole week!!!"

A :"Abby, I think you should just bring your umbrella, in case it rains.."

R :"Abby, what's plan B if it rains? any indoor activity?"

K: "Abby, I dun think I'm coming, its totally gonna rain.."

I wasn't thinking about all those questions until they were presented to me. "Ha!! Its gonna be a miracle Saturday", I was telling myself. In fact, me, Ben and my whole cell group have been praying about this outing for the whole week. This is an outing that I have been planning for the whole month, not for anyone, but for one of my precious friend who has yet to met my Saviour. It was an outing to build relationship.

I told God, "Dearest God, let our outing be fabulous. Let it be a perfect weather with clear blue sunny skies and windy to fly my kite way up high. Yes, dear Lord, everyone have been talking about the weather, but I know, when Elijah pray for the rain to stop, the rain simply stops. I want to pray like Elijah..I want a miracle. Look at my heart dear Lord, You said, if I have faith, it will happen...God, I have faith. "

Saturday came. SMS came, A says: "Abby, you sure you are not bringing umbrella? Let me bring one for you OK?" the skies look abit gloomy, but in my heart I trust in my God, my faith was UNSHAKABLE!! HA!. I was telling God, "no matter what, it will be a perfect day just for me. Simple because, All things for for good to those who love Him! Woo Hoo..."

We were so late that day, after grabbing the MOS burger from City Hall, we head to Marina Bay MRT. we were looking high and low for the bus stop 1. (The actual location was located after you come out from MRT, walk for 5minutes under the overhead bridge and TA DA!!! Bus stop 1 is there!!!)...we took a shuttle bus, it was FREE!! I was thinking..."Oh MAN!! Its raining!!!" true enough, when we reach Marina Barrage, PU..ShHHH... RAIN!!! It was already 4pm, we were an hour late. =(

"Hey God, thanks ler..." I was actually complaining in my heart.

Ha!! THEN...know wat? after 5mins, the rain stops...and 

Kim pointed out from where we were sitted, she says "LOOK!! A RAINBOW!!" AWESOME!!! "

"Hey God, thank you ler!!" This time round, I was saying thanks with a thankful heart.

The rainbow simply means a promise from God.

God says,"Hey Dear beloved Abby, i remember your prayer..Do you still remember what I have promised you? Look at the rainbow, this is to remind you that I remember you. I kept my promise to you"

We decided to head to the barrage cafe for a coffee fix!! chat chat chat...a while, we were all geared up to fly our kites!! 3 of us were running on the field, trying so hard to fly up the kite, we ran so many round, until people around us were eventually staring at us" what are these 3 girls doing? are they nuts?" I'm sure this must be what they were thinking!! ha!! we din really care, we were really having a great time..in the end... our kites flew up!! High High and above!!! AWESOME!!! (special thank to Alvin for helping all of us to fly up those S$2.90 kite)

around 6pm, the sun is going back home.. SUNSET!!! OMG!! I still remember I was telling my colleague when I was in Male on Friday noon, "I have never really see beautiful sunset, you know? I wonder, when will I be able to see a really nice sunset?" TA TA TA DA...Look at that amazing gorgeous sunset!!! the back drop of Marina Bay sands, the Singapore flyer!! OMG!!! I'm gonna faint...the view is simply so amazing, its taking my breathe away!!! I wish I can tell you how beautiful yesterday was..the sunset!! the wind...the everything!!! It was just PURRR FECT!!!

the sunset was beautiful!! Praise the Lord!!

OK..let me just sum it up. I'm getting pretty much really naggy now. What happened last nite, Saturday, was a true miracle for me. Everywhere in Singapore was really raining, BOOM BOOM, thunder everywhere, every part of Singapore is raining, thunder everywhere, its RAINING!! But Hey..God is good, He remembers me. He remember that His dear child, Abby wanted to fly kite. and here it is...NO RAIN IN MARINA BARRAGE..plus, when we reach there, there was a light shower. But, guess what issit for? Is for God to tell me how much He loves me!! A RAINBOW!! Perfect windy day, (even though Alvin have been complaining that the wind wasn't blowing at the same direction constantly), to me....it was a perfect weather. and the best part was...BREATH TAKING SUNSET!!! OMG!! It jus couldnt get any better.

I was telling everyone, Vikki, Koyie, Raymond, Alvin, Jo, Shu Fen, Lee Hwa, Joy, Vincent...How amazing was my Saturday. It was one of the best day in my life!! WOOO HOO!! Praise God!! Dear God, I totally get it. It was amazing, and I love YOU!!
