There was this song I used to sing in Sunday School when I was (a lot) younger...
The lyrics are something like:
Give me oil in my lamp,
keep me burning, burning burning,
give me oil in my lamp,
I pray I pray,
Give me oil in my lamp,
keep me burning, burning, burning,
keep me burning 'til the break of day.
It's a nice song. Simple, yes, but nice...
Well, anyway, we went to El Sanctuary for our committee retreat in a van and a car...
On the way back from the committee retreat, the people who sat in the car which were Caleen, Kimberly, jie2 Ee Hsin, Kai Ling jie and myself, had a fun time singing songs (mostly Sunday School songs xD) because the guitar was in the car with us...
Suddenly koko Sern Wang called Kai Ling jie, telling her that the van ran out of petrol...
Ran out, as in not totally kering already, but the indicator was pointing at "E", which stands for Empty...
The van actually went quite a distance with the indicator at that position and we (the people in the car) were really praying very hard that the van would be able to reach a petrol station without any problems...
Then we started to sing to the tune of Give Me Oil in my Lamp, but with different lyrics...
We sang:
Give us oil in the van,
keep us going, going, going,
Give us oil in the van,
I pray, I pray,
Give us oil in the van,
keep us going, going, going,
keep us going to the petrol station!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Then Kai Ling jie called You Shen, who was in the van, put her call on loudspeaker and asked You Shen to do the same...
She then asked us to sing our version of the song for the people in the van (especially koko SernWang) to hear...
When we were at one of the "going, going, going"...............
You Shen hung up =.=
We all went, "Whattt? He hung upppp?!?!?!? Whyyyyyy?!?!?!?"
And we were all singing so enthusiastically!
mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Anyway, after that, we tried calling Regine instead and did the same thing...
After finishing our little performance, we were all so happy that she didn't hang up on us...
We were so excited and then Regine asked, "Can I hand up now? We want to sleep"
At that time, I heard, a sound of something breaking inside me - my heart!
Prrraaaannngggggggggggggg!!!
"O...Okay... " I said and we hung up :'(
Thank God the van managed to reach the petrol station without breaking down on the way :)
Our little prayer / song to God worked! haha
Thank you, God! =)
mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Buh-bye, people!!!
