Feastday's finally over.

In the past, whenever I attended church funfairs, I never appreciated all the work that was done to make it possible.
It was till today did I realise so much time, effort and sacrifice must be put in for such an event to happen.
Adults have to attend meetings after a tired day at work, students have less time to study for their upcoming and never ending tests/exams.
Strangers meet up.
Strangers cooperate.
I was a reluctant party to be in the sub-committee. The Feastday funfair was such a big event! I didn't know many people there and I do not really like working with people I do not know. I was wondering how I'll be able to work with Uncle Xavier when I barely knew him. And the worse thing was, none of us had any experience doing the deco.
Until 2 weeks ago.
I started doing serious work. I started thinking seriously (and anxiously). And Uncle X. "provided" me with some helpers whom I think I work better with cos they were around my age. Jane was fantastic. If not for her, I think I would have gone bonkers.
I still found it a chore having to meet up every few days, but each time, I'll be amazed by our effeciency. We always ended earlier then expected.
And I made a new friend. (The others didn't really come for all preparations so I could not interact much with them.)
Of course, I got to know Uncle X. better as well.
Strangers meet up.
Strangers cooperate.
Strangers no longer become strangers.
But what I have done is actually nothing compared to others.
I should just be glad that everything went rather smoothly.

And it would not have been possible without God.
