time passes when u are busy. havent realised that i havent blogged for a long time! busy with filling up forms for the ministry, getting cloth for the skit and going down for rehearsals with the girls and of course, working.

i will not say where i'm working though. but it's a fun place. made some friends during the training class.. fun fun fun! but well, time to get down to in-store training once i get back from KL. will be in KL next week. church camp! i cant wait to get out of singapore. oh no, the anthropologist at work again.

i won't be an anthropologist. because i just accepted a bond from MOE. gonna sign it soon. ok, shall not talk abt that..

results were out! well, the cap dropped slightly but i'm pleasently surprised that sociology of tourism, the last paper of the sem gets an A! heh... but the rest were Bs so yea... not as fantastic as first sem but good enough.. esp it's tourism! heh... can be go into that line when my bond finishes hurhur?

alot of random in the mind. need to find a day to just sit and think. there was alot of talk about the bond, the future and the cap. now it's time to consolidate them. apparently, everything seems to be quite smooth-sailing but not so if you do know the struggle i went thru. to be pragmatic or not.

well, it's no longer an issue. i guess we all come to a point where the self-will and desires will die and make way. well, if u ask me whether i'm happy to do elang, well, i guess i am, i just have to work harder and challenge myself.

but i am not going to do it by my own strength. this bond does not come easy.

how u ask? by seeking what is more important in life. after 13 years of education and 3 more years of it to go, education is a mean to a desintation and not the totality of it. i am not saying that you don't work hard. in fact, you ought to work hard coz it's the process that matters!
if you focus too much on the grades, chances are you are not going to enjoy the modules. but if u learn how to enjoy it, u'll score. well well.. that's what happens to my tourism module.. learning point for today...

i dunno man, i realised alot of us got no goal in life. one day u sit down and ask yourself why and what am i living on earth for? just to get good grades? do you know that your life as a student( an official one that is, since we are to be life-long learners..) ends when you turn 23 (for girls) or 25( for guys)? what happens after that?

ok, say it's career... cmon man, u want to work EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE TILL YOU TURN 65? ok, let's say marriage....valid enough but hey, you don't need someone to make u whole. u ought to be a whole, fully independent and functional on ur own, with family and friends.

so how? at the end of the day, what are you living for?

realised i havent been updating. alot has been happening and i have no idea where to start narrating.

the camp and campfire was great. so much fun to watch them play soccer. guys will always be guys. traditions that are passed down from one generation to another unites them. the unifying factor? Soccer. He can play soccer until he forgot that i was waiting for him.

you might see me eariler than you thought. well, next yr, i'll be doing a 3 week stint at a secondary school. but not sure where it would be as yet. watch this space.

still very tired from the campfire. and an unfinished conversation with J. fancy this! we sat at my doorstep and talked till 3.30am! the last time something like that happened was my talk with kk till 1 odd am at wheelock. i miss talking to them. i forgot to thank kk. sigh..

was great seeing them again. i miss the fairfield spirit and the camaraderie. i miss true-blue and yellow fairsians working together, talking about God, school and UGs.

you know who i'm going to marry, where i am going to teach and send my kids next time hurhur?

7 years ago, i looked up to him (because he's always on the second level giving announccements)

7 years later, i look at him, eye level.

it's amazing. i never thought i would get a chance to work with him. well, coz there's 3 years gap between us. no way we would meet.

but recently i had the chance to hang out with him, talk, laugh and work along beside him, listen to his crapping and serious talk.

am i dreaming? it's like the fulfillment of a dream okay, now i feel 13-year-old-ish.

sweet.

be of good cheer.

for those who believe, be of good cheer. He has overcome the world.

it's light affliction as compared to what He bore for you and I.

God puts you in His fire to refine you. to make you more like Him.

but first, ask yourself, are you doing things your own way, superimposing it on God, passing what you want to do as what you think God wants you to do.

or are u willing to carry the cross and die daily?

i die daily.

well, a trip down the memory lane. for starters, i fished out the diary which i kept when i was in sec 1. gosh! that's like 7 years ago! it's amazing how much i have grown.. and reading what i wrote is like reading some of the students' blog! just that my time we din have internet.. wait, my time we had irc! i dun think anyone goes there anymore..

anyway, as i was saying.. sec 2 & 3 were THE years for me. alot alot alot.. i repeat, alot of postcard and letter writings. now as i recall, i finally understood why i like to write. it started from then!

and it's amazing.. i forgot the number of kors and jies i had when i was in sec sch..a senior always start her letters to me as "hello my favourite junior"... and another said she's totally transparent behind me coz she shares so much with me.

man, those were the days. alot of boy girl issues, alot of kors and jies. alot of nonsense.. and it's sad that i lost contact with alot of them... since i'm having holidays, time to find them!

so i guess i din waste this afternoon. i reconnnected with my past. and that gives strength to press on for the future.

especially the senior who loves me so much.. sigh, i miss her to bits! maybe that's the reason why i'm still found in GB..

for those who really matters to me when i was in secondary school, thank you thank you... =)

it's a conflicting feeling. you desperately want a break from school, you can't wait to be able to wake up at 11am everyday, watch tv, play game, dinner, more tv and online and hit the bed at 2am.

what a bum!

although i don't indulge in such a lifestyle as aforementioned, i think i'm getting too sluggish for my own good.

so i have decided to be domesticated. i'm going to be a housewife for the next 2 days. shall wash clothes, sweep and mop floor, tidy the house and cook for the family. okay in short, maid.

then i'll go do some relief nxt week.

how exciting. i better make a trip to ps and get my thread for the crosstitch tom.

wheee...

it is finished.

my first year as an undergraduate.

hello 3 months holiday!

i felt a sense of loss when i handed the paper an hour ago. yes my paper ended at abt 7pm. coz it was an evening paper. it was a dread but it's over now!

now i got 3 months of break, i got no idea what i wanna do now. i'll work but i don't think i'll be a teacher. let's try something different this holiday!

i can't believe it. i better make good use of this break. and sure there are lots of things to do!
