Today's the last and final briefing/ dry run/ rehearsal/ whatever you call it before the actual thing. I was kind of reluctant to get up initially, like really. I miss that comfy bed of mine, but suddenly an unknown struck me, and the next thing I know was that I was already setting off for school. I was kind of early. Talks in theatre was dang long. So I was busy trying to get myself entertained by flipping Ben's ear, untying Isaac's shoelace, etc. I think my logic game still the nicest=)
Had this new version of Castle War today, which had failed numerous times before. Today's version was the nicest amongst them, and the fact that we won was the best thing! Haha, really love it! Xcion's gonna kick some butts now! I think we rock, like really. Our strategy worked really well, and our collaboration! I'm so looking forward to the orientation! Welcome J1s!
After that game, we were all dismissed. I had a short meeting with my OGLs, and I think we are really gonna do super well=) Jiayou k=) Xcion's gonna win this=) Then the load of us proceeded on to Krystal's place for some suprise. Hm. It's quite a pleasant experience I thought. Theen Yew was complaining about everything and anything, but all was fun=P haha. X-X-X-X-Xcion! =)

Hello. I managed to retrieve some photos from Mat's blog, but I don't have a facebook account, and he put all the other photos there. And what's worse is that he doesn't want to send me! Bad Mat!

Wednesday used to be the shortest, but this year's a little different. Friday is apparently the shortest ever, with our lessons ending at 1050. As a result, the day seemed longer than ever, as nothingness filled a majority of the period. Had GP and Physcis and blah. Most of the time was spent in the room. There was this cg17/08 lao hei at 1230 at the marquee. It has been a long time since I felt so at home. Drew a sketch of my hand for my Angel to make up for the delay in reply. I used to draw a similar one, but I guess the meaning's never going to be the same. That's just indescribable? Mass Dance was fun. And like really, I think I'm so gonna miss it when orientation ends. Shall enjoy them to the fullest for now. Helped the SCs with the packing of O-packs after mass dance, and it ended dang late. Haha. Though I think we really enjoyed the work. Sendy was shouting like some night-market uncles, and the entire scene reminded me of the old production line. Haha, really fun=)
I saw you, and I didn't
For I turn my back on you,
But my heart thinks of you.

Today's one of the rare days where the time table was swopped. Yes, Thursday, yet we used Monday's timetable instead. Anyway, school ends at 530 for both days of the week for me, so it didn't affect me that much. But that being a very long day, I was especially worn out after break. Met and shunned. I don't know how to move on from here.
Quek took over Eva today for english. It's been some time (ever since last year) since he taught us, and the response of the class was not too bad? At least, the atmosphere's friendlier. I almost dozed off numerous times though. Like I said, I was beaten. Chemistry and finally Math. I'm proud of myself to have completed tutorial 2. So I think I should be revising my organic chemistry soon. Like, excuse me, I can barely recall 20% of what was taught.
Alpha tikis have very cool sticks. I wrapped them with aluminium foil today, and I think they looked dang cool. But the board. Hm. Alpha's gonna be the champion house! Xcion make some noise now! Bang!

Feeling's an irritable thing. For once I thought I've sought it out already, but it fickled all the time. I'm not sure what it is this time, but it's a tormenting force. My heart is beginning to budge, so did that promise ever stand? I said I will wait for you, but has that feeling given way? Perhaps the love becomes less conspicuous when one takes a step back. How are you feeling now? Lord, if she is the one, please do not send anymore distractions into my life. If it's only a preparation phase, then please strengthen me in every aspect. For I know whatever I do, it's through Your strength, not of my own. Daddy God, I long to hear you. Please speak to me. In the Lord's name, Amen.

Today I returned to school again. It's the third day of Chinese New Year, but the ambiance has already died down ever since last week's celebration. Was waiting for any invitation to join any discussion group, looking forward yet was stuck in a dilemma. If the invitation ever comes, the awkwardness. It never came even until the end though. Well, like life, get on with it.
Lessons were mundane, and I'm losing focus. For one, I was checking my phone ever so frequently. Hm. What's gotten into me? I don't know.
Civics was fine. We did this testimony thing to help lift the self esteem of each other- to perfecti-ify the 92 score I had last week=P. The activity went like that- we are only allowed to write positive things about each other. So it's kind of expected what we were going to get, yet the feeling was good when we receive the slip.
Contact time was the reflection of the OBK and OCIP some of the TJC-ians had at the end of last year. I didn't listen though, but instead played some games with Teresa's phone. I think I feigned well. Now I'm beginning to appreciate myopia, at least it blurs out certain vision that might be too hard to look straight at. Had a meeting with the sports people after that, and I think Mat is doing pretty well with that proposal. Good job! Just don't rack everything on your own shoulder alright? Share it with the rest=). Sawed up the bamboo sticks we are gonna use for tikis next week (Gamma followed me to the OAC's place). Board the same bus home with Eunice. Had some random chat I guess. That should be it bah.

I'm tired but I don't feel like sleeping. Empty, that's how I'm feeling now. Anyway, these are the open house photos:

Hello blog. I'm in the midst of doing some work now, like finally. Yeap, I've completed one tutorial until now, so I think I should continue with more. Whatever happens, I know you will be with me, my faithful blog=) And that tatoo is still on the wrist. I'm thinking if I should wash it off. Tomorrow's gonna be a better day I hope. I don't know how to link the chunks of abruptly-created lines together already. Blog, thanks for allowing me to rant. Father Lord, thank you for giving me this blog. Thank you for remaining faithful in me. Everything happens because God allows them to, and that's in His perfect plan for us. So rejoice, even in face with the toughest trial. They say we are mere strangers to this world, at best welcomed guests, for our home belongs to the Heavenly Kingdom of our Heavenly King. Thus, do not cling on to any worldy things- not fame, not wealth, not achievements, not relationships. Yes, not relationships. For the only lasting relationship is between me and You, daddy God. I love you.

Photos entry. Camwhored dang lot! I like the shoes I drew, I like the "tatoo" I created, I had the load of goodies on my living room table, we camwhored even on the train, the 3 of us squeezed into the 2-seaters, we took photos with camera-shy auntie, I had a good reflection shot in the underground platform, I like those new year photos!
Happy 牛 Year!
Today's the first day of CNY. Now I'm beginning to realise that it's really unreasonable for tutors to demand work from students after CNY break. After all, it's a chinese tradition of celebration! But in any case, I will try to do it tomorrow, not because I'm compromising, but fulfilling my part as a student. Test immediately after the break meant that we had to squeeze whichever houses we have into a single day. I feel for you, sister=P Visitings were normal, but leaving house in the early hours sure felt different. I think the visitings went well=)

After the previous post, it was indeed forgotten. Well, isn't it good to forget the unhappies and embrace the yet-to-come? Sunday service was as usual for All Saints despite some other churches having made special arrangements for the festive season, the Chinese New Year's eve to be particular. For some reason, or perhaps maybe no apparent reason, I decided to wear formal. The result of that was a series of probings regarding if I was going anywhere after church. The answer was of course a big "N-O- NO!" Haha. Church service was kind of like any other sundays. Joel said All Saints English doesn't have a CNY service. Oh well, I had a reasonable share back on Friday already=). Service that day was about 1 Peter Chapter 1 about how we are mere strangers in this world, at best, welcomed passer bys, and our home is in heaven where our Father is. Not bad huh? But the preacher is some doctor from some ministry, so he literally spoke like a lecturere. I couldn't help giggling at first, but the content got the better of me, so I focused better later on. Had lunch with the cell people at Han's before parting ways. Had a chicken chop, but I think 18 chef and a~ I forgot the name, tasted better.
Second part of the day was reunion dinner. Had a good nap before that, which allowed me to last til quite late into the next morning. So I had my 2nd steamboat and 3rd reunion dinner this year. The rest I shall leave them to the photos to tell the story. Anyway, big brother came home for dinner with some friends. Having a big chef in the family sure means something- the yu sheng was done so nicely, and he taught us little things here and there to make the food even more appealing=) Not bad=)
Abalone (not my favourite though)
Fish (my all time favourite)
Food=)
New addition this year: Cheese tofu (yum yum), straw mushroom (yum yum) =)
=Love
