不,完美。

Clarissa & Joshua will be going to Kalimantan for Mission Trip on this coming Monday, & back on next Saturday. PRAY FOR THEM AND THE WHOLE MISSION TEAM, that they'll be able to touch the hearts of the people over at there, a refreshed mind & energised body everyday as they'll be travelling to 5 places! (:

Should have blogged long ago. (: Last Friday celebrated Valent's birthday. His birthday falls on Valentine's day by the way, that's how he got his name. Haha, some of us shared & bought a blue addidas sports shoes for him. Thanks Jason for going down all the way to Queensway to purchase it. :D Thanks Sam for the flowers too, & friends for all various types of chocos. Thanks Miss _ for the chocos too, I'm really surprised for your sms for me to find you outside the staffroom. I thought the school has some upcoming events & you wanna put me in charge. Haha. Anyway, thanks. (:



the flower.


Saturday after church went for dinner with Melvin Goh & co. After that headed back to church with Uncle Kk for "Light of love" event. Joe was the emcee for the day! & Joshua acted in the skit. No more seats available in the L2 auditorium so we sat outside, luckily there's a LCD television screening the event inside. Yup & Jacelyn Tay came. Really amazed & touched by her testimony. If some of you know, she was actually bankrupt a few years ago. However, things got better for her. She was saying during that period of time, each day she'll encounter a Christian approaching her & things like that. I find it so amazing. Hopefully, she'll be able to bring her friends, be it outside or Mediacorp, to know more about Christ. Another awesome thing is that her family became Christians not long after, before that they were strong believers of Buddhism. I actually took a video of the whole event, but couldn't upload it onto Blogger.

Having a short testimony sharing session on the stage. Joe's on the exteme left!



Sunday was at Jurong Point. Another part of it was just opened, with all the news shops. Didn't manage to go into all the shops though. It's like Paragon, they have the "old" & the "new" sections.



Got into Old Town Coffee cafe.


It's been a short 2 weeks being in my new class! 0931B, generally a noisy bunch. Mr Khoo appointed me to be the Pacer Rep, just because I had a bit of experience in my former Secondary School. So I'm thinking of planning for an overseas CIP trip, some of the guys said, "Vietnam!". Haha. Xinyi & Lorayne's also the Pacer Reps of their classes, maybe can come together & plan something exciting & meaningful.

Monday to Friday passed by really quickly! I'd just mention some of the things I remember. Gym with JieKai & Valent after school at Bukit Batok's gym. Really far. Elisa came & joined us for dinner, friendly senior! Wednesday after CCA went down to field to watch the soccer match between my school & Srjc team. Haha, of course I saw Lewis, WeiJie & Andrew. Well, in the end it was a draw. Friday's training was cancelled, so had lunch with Ian & co. at Causeway. I heard of the prayer group that my college has every Friday, in the afternoon. I think it's good, cause my college don't share anything about Christ at all. Anyway, it'd only be a small group of people. Will be going on next Friday (hopefully onwards too)! After that still be able to attend CCA. Thank God (:

Haha yeah, there's really so much I wanna blog about, so pardon me for this long post. During one of the days I was queuing up to deposit money, then the lady in front of me kept turning back to look at me. She finally asked me (cause I felt so uncomfortable) which junior college I'm from, telling me her daughter's in Srjc now. She started asking me about university stuffs & all, then I told her about my personal opinions. I actually said that I want to go overseas for my studies in university, what course I'm interested in. She said, "But overseas is quite dangerous you know, students murdering their classmates, robbery, raping .. etc. Singapore's safer, & also nearer to your home." I don't mind her for saying that, parents naturally have worries for their children if they were to go overseas for such a long period of time. I'm saying this because the day before I was checking out a few universities that have the courses I'm interested in (Business or Economics), & also the ranking as well. NUS's ranked the 135th in the world's ranking, out of 4000 universities worldwide. Economics course in one of the universities seemed rather manageable, Year 1 will be learning demand & supply, basically in that 3 years is about microeconomics & macroeconomics. Well, enough of it. Maybe by the time, I might change my mind of going overseas to study. God's prompting & parents' decision comes first. (:

Zonal bonding on 7th March. Milo Youth Tryathlon too, venue at Sentosa. Luckily they have chartered buses for the volunteers at various pickup points, thankfully one at Hougang Mrt. But the bus will leave at 4.20am, so I'll have to wake up at around 3am. Hopefully it'll end at noon? So to make it to church by 4pm. Don't wanna miss Zonal bonding! Plus we'll be in charge of the games. Anyway just now during dinner was discussing a bit with Smarts & Josh, then I happily & willingly accepted the title of being in "Logistics". Haha, sai kang okay what? Maybe I really have different views on it. Very envious of Smarties lah, he's in the logistics team for the church camp this year. Learning a lot from Joshua as well! He always update me on his experiences during the LEADs programme.

Called Mr Ng & he told me that he'll put me in the role of SPF for the pre-u seminar, basically is the games facilitator. I said okay, though I very much wanted the role of SLO last year. But I guess my mentality was wrong then, I should be more than happy that I get a chance to be involved in this year's pre-u seminar. It's a national event that every college in S'pore will take turn to host it. I'm very lucky, this year's Innova's turn! Moreover, it'll be held in NUS. I'd probably have to wait for another 15 years before Innova hosts it again, because they'll be rotating the "hosting" right each year. They have some more roles for the new JC1s, like Road Marshals or Ushers. I'm glad all the forms were being grabbed away instantly! Could really see the enthusiasm in them :D

Then, there's a Geography overseas trip to Kuantan in June (8-10th June) , & another one to China in Dec. The bad thing is if you go for either one, you won't be able to go for another. Because the teachers want to give opportunities to rest of the students. I guess I'll have to give Kuantan a miss. ):

Told you the post will be long, hah. In time to come, I want to be actively involved both in school & church. Certainly many tasks to accomplish, & goals to reach. Getting a driving liscense is a must as well. Finally can make it for Sunday service tomorrow! (:
