Today is a fulfilling day because I went back to school.

Okay that doesn't sound right. It's fulfilling because of the people I met up with! (: We had morning prayer and my occupational hazard to find a stranger to pray with acted up. And my juniors' normal reaction when they saw me? Jaw drop. Haha! I seriously miss my dear jolene. I really enjoyed encouraging her sadistic tendency. Haha. But we didn't have much time to catch up but soon I guess. (:
Headed for mentors' room. Seriously, coming back to sch feels more like going to the playground this time. The place is so familiar to you, there's so many memories there, and most importantly, you're not going back to study. (: Saw this year's p&f booklet. Think they put in so much effort into it. Each year is really unique on its own. (:
Saw Mr Tan! He has 68 essays to mark now. Haha. Seriously, thank you Mr Tan for your super constructive comments at the end of our essays. I just don't know how you can just look, scan, tick tick, then think, and finally give us your input. It seems so natural for you. (: I will not just type in this blog. I'll tell you soon. A level results. Haha.
Then bkfast with jem and kelvin. (: Actually I dont think the prawn noodles very nice. Except the soup.

Today is just a happy but nostalgic day for me. (:

I guess this is to Mac Powell fans i.e. Rachel. I was listening to Steven Curtis' 'Believe Me Now' and suddenly I heard this very familiar voice in the background. The low, deep voice that makes you go 'I-can't-sit-still-anymore'. There was one particular part which I knew it was him. It's so his style. (: I don't know why I'm typing this either.

Hello CNY. (:

I never really liked new year because it's so weird meeting some relatives whom you really meet once a year. It's good and bad, but sometimes I wish we learn to meet up more intentionally than just on CNY. Maybe I will make sure family ties are tighter in my generation. Eh well, it will be a lot easier. Fewer relatives by then since people do not give birth to 11 kids nowadays. Thank God it was easier to talk to the relatives this year. My aunties keep asking me to share with them about our Kalimantan trip. Haha. (:

And oh, I managed to borrow two books- a novel and this book by Malcolm Gladwell. (: I've been kinda enforcing this reading thing on myself. It requires a great deal of discipline, but easier since I have much free time now, and they're things I enjoy but are tiring.

Oh met up with Ben and Samu the other day for Percy Jackson. It's one of the shows that I find worth the $10. (: Quite a thriller for me and I really pity those two beside me cause when I'm shocked, I'm really shocked i.e pretty responsive. When I'm at home watching thrillers, I would stamp my feet at the exciting parts and jump a little. Then I'd hear background voices i.e. my mum grumbling at me. Haha! (: Yup great time catching up with them.

Went to Auntie Sharon's and Joe's house the next day. I realised I can't play poker. ): I drank so much water. (our 'bet')

I had quite a fulfilling week though the week has not yet come to an end.

Meeting up with Rach and Sammie just for sesame chicken lunch, sharing or simply pouring out all that I can that will be helpful for their mission trip. I'm just so excited and my dear girls, I will be praying for you! May God enable you to do greater things and be blessed in this trip! (=

And also meeting up with my dear 4E2 girls. I seriously miss you girls alot and super enjoyed catching up with you girls, though quite briefly. So interesting to see you girls having a taste of corporate world, which gives me a little headache as to where to go. Hahaha. But it's a good headache.

We had mission trip debrief today. Uncle Daniel gave us an 'appraisal'. Felt quite encouraged. I'm really thankful to God because He has put in me this desire for His word. Even though I think there was a time when I felt like I'm losing the passion, and I asked for it again and received it. For that, I really thank God. Anyway, I think I really miss LEADS already, and the wonderful people in it. Did the mission trip article. Zephan must have thought that I've lost my marbles. But it's okay. (= Happens only when I'm quite tired. Met up with Wan Hui to talk about some stuff. I feel so much better and clearer after talking! Thanks Wan Hui for your advice and opinions everytime I turn to you for help. (=

Meanwhile I needa catch up on my reading which I am way off and slack a while more before I go find a job. (= And I wanna get my steven curtis chapman cd........ Woohoo!

Hi everyone! Yup I'm back safe and sound! This mission trip can be summed up as a truly awesome encounter of God's reality in our lives. (: We had so much fun with the kids and the village people were so hospitable. They even bring big hangers and helped us to sweep our porch. (: And we were glad to be able to bless them and play games with them. Anyway when we were back home on the speedboat, it broke down. We really prayed and it was really getting dark. Thank God that He brought us back on shore safely in the end! =D We now learn not from the textbook that nothing is impossible for Him. We learn it in life. (:

Anyway, LEADS is over and I really miss them already. I really thank God for being with us while we were studying, being equipped and all. He really helped me so so much.

The Lord indeed is our Helper.
