Gotong-Royong Gereja 2018
Ever since the church gotong-royong fiasco several years back, I shunned the activity for fear of a repeat. This year, due to lack of response from the other members of my BEC (quiter than a grave when looking for volunteers), I registered. Mum didn't join as she had her hands full with the monsters. At 7:30 AM, we were treated to a simple breakfast of nasi lemak bungkus and hot beverages. An elderly man in front of me took a sip of the tea and declared, "longkang water". Lol. With a pail and a rag in hand, we started work. Work was segregated by ministries. My group was tasked with cleaning the many wall fans situated in and around the church. Once that was done, we moved on to cleaning chairs, and de-mossing the drains. Towards the end, we cleaned the adhesive stains from the front steps. We were so lacking of the proper tools that we went out to buy Clorox and Jiff, or those that lived nearby just went home to get it. Finished up everything slightly after noon. Cle
