Back to update on my 2nd week of June break!
Monday.
English teaching at Marsiling Primary School! Had to reach the school by 7.45am, but I think after the first day, some of us got used to waking up early. I hope, haha. Basically for Ruijing & I, we had to teach two Primary 5 classes, depending on you're given a P4/P5/P6 class. :D & I love my 2 classes of students! So hyperactive, shy at first, but we broke the ice eventually, well hopefully all of you have learnt something from us. Haha. Each lesson's about 1 & a half hour, but time flies! Didn't even have time to finish some of the activities. Now I realised how my college teachers struggled to fully utilise that 1 hour. Afternoon, met up with Jed & studied somewhere near church. Till night time, when he complained that he's hungry. Lol. He's supposed to pass me the new zealand shirt, but couldn't make it to church 'cause of injury. Pray for him!
What some of the students wrote :)
2nd class of P5 students.
1st class of P5 students.
Haha, this is cute.
Doing ice-breakers w them!
I'm enjoying it. Hah.
Tuesday.
Got to Marsiling Primary in the morning again. Today's another set of lesson materials, which I assumed to be much more interesting than the first day's lesson, & indeed the students enjoyed the 'drawing' a lot. Haha. Got back home in the afternoon, went for my 10 rounds at the stadium, met up with Yanlin, Ruijing & Anna for study. & sorry, I'm always less sober if I'm really tired, as witnessed by them. Lol! But don't think it'd happen again :D
Innova Junior College student volunteers :)
1st class! Aiyo so difficult to get a shot taken. Haha too hyper.
2nd class! Slightly smaller today 'cause of absentees. Lol.Wedneday.
Supposed to meet up with George for movie, but I guess we're both occupied with our personal commitments. Haha! But anyway, we had dinner at Chomp Chomp, & ordered the usual dishes. Seemed to me that the dinner lasted for quite a few hours. & we took the wrong bus, which brought us a loop back to Chomp Chomp again. LOL. Eventually it went back to Serangoon interchange, fortunately didn't miss our last bus. ;D
Thursday.
Met up with Tetra gang, 10am at Compass point! Before we head off to Sentosa. Had breakfast at Harbourfront's Mac. Wanted to bring them to Tanjong Beach, couldn't find our way there, so ended up at the always-crowded Siloso Beach. Well it was fun! Volleyball, frisbee, suntanning, drinking, snacking, chit-chatting! :) I'm glad I'm awfully sunburnt, there's still the red marks even after a few days. Haha! Thanks to the suntan oil :D & of course, I'm always proud to tell my other friends that I'm not just still in contact with my primary school mates, but also very close with them. My longest friendship so far, treasure it a lot! Sorry I had to leave in the evening for some reason, thanks for understanding! Thanks also cell members who came to help out in the night.
This is what Zzingy wrote in her blog:
"It never fails to amaze me how the last time we met was almost a year ago, and when we meet up it's as if time never passed between us. As if we just met recently. Honestly, when I was going to meet up with them, I was almost afraid that there would be some awkwardness, but there wasn't any at all. HAHA I LOVE YOU ALL!"

Touched leh. Haha. It may sound a little cliche, but still, we'll be friends forever (:
Brendan, Debbie, Zhiyin, G.yiyong, Tai Hong & Sophia :D
Another amazing thing you won't believe, all of us wore white top & black shorts. Telepathy? ;D
Zy, Tai hong, Gyy, DebFriday.
Overslept & didn't make it to Marsiling Primary ): Bought lollipops for the students & 'cause of my absence, they didn't get it. Sorry man D: Met LingJia in the afternoon to get her camera at the PC Show. We were in the same train to Dhoby! Haha, so orbit. Walking from City Hall Mrt to Suntec City has always been dreading for me, not to mention squeezing through the crowds. After much consideration & hesitation, she bought the $700 worth camera, plus the free gifts etc. Lol. After which, we headed to Lavender. Thanks Ben & Xiying for coming down too.
Saturday.
Lunch with George at purple market before worship prac. Started late, but we were done with all the songs before Youth Ablaze started. So thank God! Today's sermon, I'd say, has served as a personal reflection for me from the time I stepped into LSBC 3 years ago. And so I shared with the cell that I'm reminded of God's faithfulness when I backslided & came back to God once again, while others said initially they didn't want to be in that school but eventually found great friends & teachers there. It's so easy to drift away from God & yet so difficult to go back to Him once again. Some people take days, weeks, months & even years. I think this is when we exercise self-discipline & obedience. Whenever I'm placed into a situation not of my own desire, Jeremiah 29:11 always serves as a reminder for me. There's a lot of things I wanna thank God in/for. But to cut the long story short, thank You for not forsaking me all these while :)
Sunday.
Went home not-so-late last night, but managed to wake up to attend service! Supposedly meeting cell for breakfast at melting pot. Haha, but I guess we've an issue with meeting at 10.30am :D But got to church in time for coffee, & a short chat with Jace & Doreen, while Joshua & Daryl disappeared in the midst of the crowd. Lol. Awesome worship today! Rev Michael Ross Watson spoke to us today. His testimony's just so amazing, which again proves that "The Lord will provide in times of need .. " :D My jaw literally dropped when he said a stranger paid for his surgery, which costs $50,000. Still, Praise the Lord! He's got his way of engaging us, & really funny jokes (: Lunch with Jace, Josh & Yeomei at Compass point. Stayed till late afternoon, before heading home & out with family again. :D Tanglin Halt for dinner.
Next week's gonna be another exciting week. Haha, till then! :D
to Cherlyn: It's okay lah, I understand. Haha, join us next time (:
