funtastic day

2day was just superb...left for Hamilton yesterday after lunch with a church friend coz i was helping him to do a few things in his new house there....on the way, we stopped to get some ice cream which was very very nice and cheap...was only 0.60 cents per scoop and was worth every cent....aniwei, having reached the place at about 5.30, we took a rest...

this morning, after breakfast, we started what we went there for...scrapping off the wallpaper...mind you, it was not an easy task...the house itself was quite old and i think there were about two or three layers of wallpaper...so scrapping it out was really tough...then, just as we were reversing, both wheels of the drivers side got stuck in mud as it was raining all day...tried 2 push the mpv everyway we could but we just couldn't get it out...in fact, i think we made it worse by having the wheel sink even deeper...then my church friend called AA and they came about 10 minutes later...they tried to use a rope and chain tied to each other and hooked to both the mpv and the 4 wheel drive but it didn't succeed...the rope actually broke twice under the strain...

after that, the AA guy said that he will get a tow truck to come to pull the mpv out with it's metal winch...waited for about half and hour b4 the tow truck came but it was finally able to pulll the car out...after that, we headed back to church, which was about 1.5-2 hours drive, for a 'jam and joy' session...the session is basically a bi-monthly event which the church organizes to both showcase church members, i.e, singing, dancing, jokes, and also to introduce new friends to church...overall i have to say that it has been a superb, fun, amazing day....
