Ok, after sending my particulars yesterday or day before, I'm officially in the class! From 9am to 6pm will be my intensive training on first aid. Having not working on it for ten over years should be fun. I'm now reminiscing on my SJAB days.

Thank God the location is near Eunos MRT; I can do my stuff after course and then go home.
I thank God for sustaining me and preventing me from falling asleep and stuff. My tummy doesn't give me diarrhea but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Been praying for it and hopefully everything's cool all the way till camp is over.
My time is packed! I'm so grateful for such a packed period so that I am not idle. :)
What would you do if you need money and doesn't want to force a fellow church member? For me, I don't know what to say about this incident. Is God trying to test me or trying to teach me something? I guess I've learnt something. Never lend any money when you are in debt.
Money is such a sensitive issue. Unless you have extra to spare, you shouldn't even allow it to happen. Right now I'm super broke. Not that it'll be like that for the rest of the week, but I'm actually planning ahead - so that I do not eat grass when I'm back. My finance is not on zero or even positive. It's negative neh. -.- As compared to my debtor, my situation is worse than him.
As much as worries keep pouring in, I admit that I panicked. Not because I needed it, but that it would help so much in the events to come - a church wedding, pay for a sister's birthday pressie (yes, not paid) and of course a 3-days allowance when I get back (I spend less than $10/day). Since he couldn't pay until next week, I wouldn't want to force my debtor like the unforgiving servant that Jesus spoke of in the parable of the unmerciful servant.
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant [Matthew 18:21-35 New International Version (NIV)]
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him.
25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.
33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’
34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
I don't think he wanted to let it go of my constant prompting (been over 2 months already) and kind of insisted on his correctness and kept on sending screenshots of previous conversations. I just explained that I understand already and asked why he sent those screenshots. That's when my phone was searching for signal and the conversation was cut after that.
Well, if I did not get the money as indicated by him, I may just skip the whole church wedding. Just because I know I cannot afford to be present. :)
