5th sem...

1. I joined in a discussion with 2 yr1: a gurl and a guy. guy was an aspiring philo major. well, he was babbling about socrates and plato...and accusing religious freak and god- particularly to Christian God as imagined and unreal. and when he said something which totally slap him on his cheek, i really felt like raining apologetics... perhaps i'm not ready... i didn't. and i kept reminding myself...they are lost sheeps... furthermore he went on to say that truth is relative. crap.

2. Had a retreat with God last sat with the BAG group (CGs). It was good. sorted all some stuff... which is good... and yep! i've formed my life purpose statement!

3. Thank God for providing me with enough money for food...and having to bring people to treat me and also giving me enough to eat enough.

4. The reading for this sem is getting outta hand, esp for Hist. Doing nation building and although it is a hist module...it is unlike the past when regurgitation worked perfectly. This time round, there's alot of critiqu-ing...and lotsa lotsa thick reading. SAI!

5. apart from school, tests (inevitable), papers and other assignments: i am doing ushering with an org, am starting tuition and also helping sam with chem... also, i'm stretching my faith to equip myself with reading thai bible with some of my school frens and a thai christian ajarn.

yep! so my 5th sem as a tertiary student will once again be colourful... nicely coloured i hope.

Yes, it’s here-2008

It’s eon since I wrote my blog. I am occupied by many things in my life that I haven’t been updating. You guys know that I was having exams, waiting for my album to be launched and mission trip. All those have happened.

Shall I update you?

2007
7/12-9/12: thai trip prep
10/12- 20/12: re-establish friendships, established r/s new friends, involved in God’s work with a group of 15 church ppl and pastor EK and his church helpers. Finally put my thai language to good use. Can’t believe I taught a upper secondary class without a translator. Some sorta a cultural exchange for me. From this trip, I see my wondrous God working. The thai Christians and us spoke primarily 2 different languages yet when we worship together, singing songs of praise together, the body of Christ was glorified and united. And I felt indeed, Jesus is the only way Man can truly lay down differences and come together, in spirit and in love.

21/12: went to darling’s pri6 class gathering at some hotel… u’re welcome darling. I didn’t do much. Just take some pictures. It was, however, a lil awkward in the beginning. But I thought it was overall an interesting experience.
25/12: CHRISTMAS party at Yingci’s place. Guess what, chek and I had our first probable dish-making experience. We did our well. Those who ate our POTATO SALAD gave their thumbs up! Yippee… I’m such a potato person. Previously, I tried shepherd’s pie for darling… now it’s potato salad. Dear, shall we try to do more of this? Quite fun…experimenting and eating our own self-cooked dishes
26/12: evan treated vic, darling and I dinner at Café cartel after shopping at TM and b4 National Treasure. TM cleared! Darling…u’re welcome =) quite fun…and I’m glad u consider me a good shopping partner.

27/12: had dinner with dear and her pri sch friend. Rather weird experience. Hee. No offence ok =)

28/12: Cycled at east coast park when i bumped into dunman high staff. Definitely not on the itinery for the day. went to 香港茶餐厅for dinner. VERY GOOD recommendation my dear. Dear didn’t cycle on her own but I think she can do it next time when we go cycling! We can try the park connector when u are more steady…then we can go ubin le! Yay! I appreciate you spending times doing activities like this with me. =)
Met victor again to chat. Really impacted me, that night's conversation.

29/12: FISH leong’s today is valentine’s day concert at SIS. My first pop concert. It is a Christmas present from darling. A partially subsidized tickets from darling to company her to watch her most most most favourite singer belting out songs after songs.
Dear, u sure u want to buy the most expensive ticket the next time she sings here? I’m thinking of the side tickets…the area where hx’s bro sat…

30/12: Have u played Wii? I had. Wii sport! Baseball… and my darling is very good with one of the games. I want to play again. Thanks Hweeli and Huijuan for allowing us to stay over at their home for that night. Thank God, juan need not meet her client the next morning. TRULY APPRECIATE YOU, MY DARLING WHO STAYED OVER. WE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED. I THINK I AM 小气。。。very sensitive and not very good with my expression when I’m feeling bad.
31/12: Watchnight service with heartdrive.

2008
1/1: picture dinner at sakura with cadet mates (right). (1st buffet of the yr- God is good!)


2/1: it was a fun but bit short-lived time of ice-skating. Ryan, val, pam me and my darling went to CAUSEWAY pt. Darling and I managed to comb thru the area briefly. Darling we go there by ourselves another time to clear the place ok…=) then got myself a set of new year clothings. Dinner was prepared by godma. Thankew godma. Dear, u learned fast. Do u want to ice-skate again?

3/1: 2nd buffet of the yr! YES… dinner at a buffet steamboat restaurant near Bugis Junction. With social work friends.
5/1: my first sentosa trip since 1.5 yrs ago with suk, tianbao and my darling. i finally stopped peeling le. phew

9/1: my second visit to toby’s place… toby’s a dog and he is stupid but cute. He is a mini-schnauzer, according to my my dear’s best friend, hx. Darling and I went to brewerkz for lunch and we combed down Central! Yay!

11/1: my third training session for FOH

14/1: day 1 of my 6th sem in NUS
15/1: D495. not the absolute best way to spend it
16/1: D496. not the best way to react.
17/1: went to visit mrs thong with jh mei. Ha! A lunch treat from my teacher.

Yep!
Apart from this,
I’m preparing vday gift…watching Hero online! Photocopying and printing notes and readings in school.

I saw this top whilte shopping. It’s a print shirt. It says “make the act of choosing what you wear a mark of self esteem” I am no saint nor conservatives… but that statement has the potential to blow many girls away. Personally, I think girls who wear ‘minimally attractively’ are sending message to those around her. Many times, I think they like to be praised and affirmed.

With the new workyr coming and me stepping down from YA comm, the new budget yr for the nation is around the corner. Will MCYS or the social service sector receive a good amount of funding? Also, will Singapore have her first female minister, seemingly to take over Vivian, as speculated by the report in The Straits Time?
With a raise in the ministerial pay, will the opposition voice rise up and ask them why they need a 6fig salary for a month. After GST went up, taxi fare went up, oil price going up. Atrocious. I wonder how I’ll make my living next time.

Bhutto assassinated, Suharto dying.
Man-united recorded a 6-0 win over the Toons; ChrisRo scored his first HT for ManU. (22 goals and counting! What is WayRoo doing…super sub?)…
Punggol going green.
Hospital doing means testing
Cost of an apartment flat increasing….

Wowww…

Ok… till next time… I dunno when…. Hee
