4th to 10th May 2009 -first week of break

hello world, i haven't written in my blog for sometime and i think i must have been very unmotivated... where are my classmates for the last 2-3 weeks... everywhere! we are no longer bounded by classrooms and NUS, instead we are all over the place- sentosa doing 21,15,9-basically gian-penging, grad-tripping at vietnam, laos, cambodia, bag-packing at bali, burma, shopping at taipei, korea, visiting brothers in japan, hk, and some river-rafting in kelantan.

i'm glad and contented to be resting, playing, praying, sleeping, youtubing, k-ing, gathering, eating, walking, and spending time with chekhui (as much as i can) in spore. u know, staying in singapore is can be expensive too when one doesn't take note of the expenditure.

haha... let me share with u some moments since after exam.


















it was surreal, as i ended community paper, at kr hall on 4th may. we went to sing k at the $10 dollar deal at seah street... that was a good turnout and we had a taste of singing k as a class outside...what a way to end my exams."

"the next day was the Great Lib War... we defied the odds and filmed our morphing mements. sorry fong, i haven't helped u at all for the editing. self-inadequazy. the thing is the lib management got hold of the GLW1 footage from fb and utube, so a mrX called and asked if I could be nice to remove them from the internet. Yea, it 'has'. runners+shem went to carousel at royal plaza on scotts for a high tea buffet. thank you shem for driving us there... am very surprised u joined us.
i am very fortunate and blessed to have my dear's understanding. i didn't spend much quality time since exam ended...yes dear, u are my good darling...becos i think u accomodate to my schedule and i do think it can be unfair to you. u have been understanding most of the time. not perfect, who is, anyway? sorry i confused you at times... but really i thank God each and every moment we spend tog, just by ourselves, with friends or with family."

"at brewerkz, i had dinner with evan, chek, pam and val. it was a nice time meeting in the midst of our activities.before that, i had a yummy lunch at food for thought. had a good time shopping bugis with u...and glad i could bless u with a pair of shoes from mitju. their shoes are really nice-looking and cute."

" DND was a simple, warm, and simple affair at Safra(toapayoh). It was my privilege to put up the musical that summarises our year 4 together with lilah, shem, dara, bavani and cher. It was really last min that i decided to join them. It was really fun, though a lil stressed on the very day when we were still putting our acts tog. Nobody but you was incredible. didn't know u girls can 'move ur bodies like that'... I probably, 'wouldn't understand. It's complicated...'. Xiongkun, thank you for the song. it'll stay in my heart. Oh yes, eleen, cheryl, xk, yvoone and I walked from Toa Payoh Central to ALjunied that night from 230am to 5am. madness...but we did it. after eleen is home, we took a cab back...madness, but we we did. and because of this, i disappointed u... stupid... thank you for your forgiveness....(oh ya, i didn't take pics with any lecturer, except drvasoo.)

here are some picture taken that night.
at dara's place. all dressed to the nigh...but forgot to bring the roses!

slapped

just felt slapped left and right.
it's been almost one year.
and i still am incompetent.

do anyone think i dun feel nerve-wrecked?
do everyone think i'm fluent with colloquial mandarin so that means i can serve in CHM without problem?
do anyone think i can sing means i can lead in worship.

sigh... God. help me treat constructive criticism properly and humility.

THINK! Probably as a general rule, don’t start songs to which you know neither the words or the tune. It just makes you look silly and distracts everyone else. (Worship Central, "How to be a worship leader without being a donkey).

almost every month, i look silly and distract everyone.
every month, i gotta thank God for my co-leader who fills in the gap.
or else, worship... could simply become warship.

perhaps

seems i took an hiatus from blogging.
having another spell of writer's block.

The excitement of finishing yr4 with a bang happened and now...
there's really no more lessons, seminars, friday dress themes, and meeting with each other in school...less the commencement which will not have everyone turning up.

I miss my classmates- their warmth, their craziness, their enthusiasm, their madness and the caramedarie... the last time i had a taste of this of with Sierra Wing. Prior to that, it'll be VJ choir (which now doesn't exist alr), and well... in sec school? perhaps..

but u see, do pp come and go... is it that difficult to keep in touch because of the different schdules and paths chosen. Perhaps.
There must be a couple of ppl who consistently call for gathering to keep the class spirit going.
I did that after primary school and that effort, i guess, has dwindled off after 10years of ME organising. Everyone turns to william when it comes to class gathering.
Not too bad i think 10 years for a PRIMARY school class.

once again, i want to trust that there's something special amongst us- the graduating batch of 08/09 social work hons class. Maybe facebook is a convenient platform, if we try to just say 'hi, how do u do?' 3 months after commencement.

friendship takes effort. some of our friends are closer, while some are somewhat between an acquaintance and friend. It's quite difficult for a person like to me to know exactly who my clicks are...but well, others tell me it's that group. ok la... I like to know many pp but that's a restriction to the depth of my understanding of you. When it comes to investment of friendships, i still think knowing more and deeper of the other party is still more important.

So i will see, 3 months later...what will happen.

*ok, maybe there's no writer's block..., perhaps, i was just oo lazy*

the other day, a group of us went chinatown to meet an old fren. hahaha... the main character of my special area projet. he remembers us. that's nice...and it's nice to see old men smile bashfully. I saw chek's grandfather smile and grin while playing mahjong...I liked it. I didn't know i like to see old man go 'heh heh heh'... :). cute la. the child within them.
Then after that we went to play arcade at TM. Over there, I saw this lil girl around 7-9 years old following and observing us play... knowing that she didn't have any playing cards, the 5 of us decided to bless her with a playing card worht $X. and wow! it's so amazing to know that we just bless a girl...and that act was triggered by knowing how blessed i am to have a heavenly Father who loves who seeks and saves the lost and can bless us according to His ability.
That made my day quite special.

After that, we went archery and wow! i like to go back again!

lastly, i am learning to take things slowly and enjoy the slowness of life...
come 15th june, i will commence work and i will bade this relaxed life goodbye...

to all my friends who read this...
let's do keep in touch.
