MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS JAMMED!! SO NOW I'M PERMANENTLY STUCK IN THIS BIG LETTER FORMAT, UNLESS I CHOOSE TO TYPE WITH ONE FINGER ON THE 'SHIFT' KEY like this, which is very cumbersome... SO FOR MY CONVENIENCE, IT SHALL REMAIN LIKE THIS, AND PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M SHOUTING AT YOU OR ANYTHING COS I'M NOT... HEE...

ANYWAY I WAS AT PULAU UBIN TODAY WITH HSIU TZU AND SHU FEN AND HUI MIN AND JUNYING... WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP PREPARE EQUIPMENT FOR THE K3 CAMP NEXT WEEKEND... FOR THE UNINITIATED, THE K3 CAMP IS THIS KIDS CAMP AT UBIN NEXT WEEKEND WHICH GREENLINK IS SUPPOSED TO HELP OUT... WE MET GRANT AND GRACE, THEN BASICALLY SHIFTED EQUIPMENT AND CLEANING THEM THE WHOLE MORNING... AFTER THAT WE WERE SITTING DOWN HAVING LUNCH AT UBIN, LISTENING TO GRANT TALK ABOUT PLOTTING AGAINST MRS CHENG BY TRACKING DOWN HER HISTORY ETC ETC... THEN HSIU TZU AND SHU FEN WERE MASS-DANCING IN THE STRONG WINDS, THEN THE RAIN CAME AND BOY IT LOOKED LIKE A TWISTER THAT WAS ABOUT TO STRIKE UBIN... AND THEN WE SHUFFLED AROUND SOME MORE AND WENT HOME AFTER THAT AND NOW HERE I AM...

CAN'T WAIT FOR K3 CAMP! AND I WANNA GO UBIN AGAIN...

OH, I'M IN GREENLINK EXCO! IT'S CONFIRMED ALREADY, BUT WE WON'T KNOW THE POSITIONS THAT WE'RE ALLOCATED TO YET... HAHA... THE OLD EXCO WANTS TO MAKE A WISE DECISION AND CONSULT THE TEACHERS ETC, SO IT'LL BE A WHILE BEFORE I KNOW MY EXACT POSITION...

OKAY I THINK THIS POST IS A BIT SHUFFLE... HEE...

Morning!! Okay, I think I'm a bit too eager for school... But it's alright, I have to wake up anyway, NOW IS THE BEST TIME... Muahaha...

Yup, more about yesterday which was Vesak Day holiday... Since I guess it's the only thing I can talk about right now... I spent most of my yesterday at town... Was supposed to wake up in time to meet Atiqah at 1030, but I overslept and ended up delaying all the way to 1115... Oh, this superbly cute guy sat beside me on the bus!! He's very VERY cute, and the best thing was he got down at the same bus-stop where I was supposed to meet Atiqah. And I still can't name the bus-stop; I only know it as the "two lions" bus-stop... We decided to go to MacDonald's to eat breakfast/lunch, whichever is applicable, then Atiqah's friend Madeline joined us. Oh my gosh, she's like the most random and shuffle girl I ever met in my whole life... Okay, Hsiu Tzu you're not the most shuffle, Madeline is... She's just switching subjects all the time and ranting and suddenly the subject will change again. 'Twas a nightmare... Anyway after trying to study for another 2~3 hours, we gave up and went shopping instead... I was looking for a present for Cheryn's mum's birthday, which was on Sunday, and the initial thought was to get her a mug since we were mugging... But all the mugs were too expensive, then went from Takashimaya to Heeren (where Madeline spent 30 minutes choosing 4 different hair-band colours) to Robinsons. Finally I got this Victorian Postbox teapot... And after that I went over to Cheryn's house to pass her mum the teapot... Ah ha...

Oh, I ate Happy Meal!! Got this Nakamura-kun roller stamper... I think I'm like going nuts over it... I want more Happy Meals!!

A lot of things happened this weekend... A lot a lot... Lemme start slowly... Hee... (:

Okay, Friday was a good day... I skipped morning assembly cos I was lazy to go all the way up to the Assembly Square, stayed in class to finish up my Econs TYS questions, then the Science idiots arranged our CA6 seating plan AGAIN... Despite the "No Acceleration/Motion/Velocity" notice that Kai Jie put on the whiteboard... Anyway, I ended up stoning in Econs tutorial, then I was thinking of how hip Mr Dio is as a Lit teacher during his Ted Hughes analysis... Okay, then PE was Captain's Ball, jumping around and acting cocky/cute/crazy at the opposing team... Oh, during Human Geog we got Qiling singing the "planting rice is never fun" song... Ah ha... Then during our break we found a ball by the grandstand and played Captain's Ball again, this time more hilariously because Janvin is falling down everywhere and I got the chance to act cocky/cute/crazy again!! Ah ha... During Maths I was doodling the CA6 ceiling pattern on my tutorial worksheet... Lots of circles and dots and dunno what... After school I went to town with Atiqah (again) and danced around and irritated her with my lameness and talking rubbish... By night-time at youth service I was too drained from dancing and rubbishing about. We played games that night, my cell group got 2nd!! I'm so so proud of them... And we got Choc-Wanilla ice-cream and did the "3 cheers" like 5 or 6 times... And our straw structure was the tallest!! Wahoo...

Okay, Saturday (yesterday) was spent at the Kranji area... I went to Lim Chu Kang farms as part of a Greenlink outing, and there were about 10 of us... Got onto the bus and it turned at so many turns that I thought we were hopelessly lost... Anyway, we ended up at the cow farm first... And it so happened they were feeding the cows with this flour thingy and it smelled so bad that Huiling puked... But for most of us we were more interested in the cows than the smell... Hee... Then we took a long long walk up the road to get to the goat farm. Along the way we spotted a common green snake on a tree, then later we spotted a huge lizard basking on a rock, which Jun Ying caught with his bare hands... Yup, the goat farm was much much cleaner than the cow farm, and it won some cleanliness standard award or something... We watched them milk the goats with this suction device, then went into the barns to interact with the goats... They are all baby lambs, and those cute cute ones that the children would love to play with and the girls would swoon over... Okay, here's the record: Hsiu Tzu is a nubian goat because they make a "distinctive complaining sound"... And we played with every single goat, I let them sniff my hand and lick my palm, then I pat it on their head/neck... After the goat farm was the frog farm. The bullfrogs were constantly croaking and looking as though they were about to explode, and then they'll hop around and swim frog-legged style... Hee...

And today? My 6-year-old cousin came over, then both my aunts too... I wanted to do homework, but it's impossible when my cousin is hyperactive. Yup, then went out for dinner and that was basically it...

Note: I left out some details which are deemed personal and those kind of information that are "for me to know and for you to find out"... They're not essential to the main story anyway... (:

And, I read your entry. Every word of it. I can't express my appreciation for your trust, but I want to let you know that I'm always here... Take your time, we are all here to help, support and protect...

Whoo! My GP tutor is officially Ms Sharon Phua!! I can't describe my feelings at this moment. I've heard enough stories about her. All my seniors told me to "keep away from her as far as possible"... Yar right, try "keep away from her as far as possible" in every GP tutorial... First thing she came into class on Wednesday, she just brisked past the attendance, got us to reflect on what we've learnt in GP so far, then basically set down the RULES... Frankly speaking, I can't remember learning anything in GP during the whole term. We were just slacking our guts out with the relief tutor, who was equally as slack as we were... And all of a sudden you put a class of slackers with a strict, no-nonsense disciplinarian, what will you get???

But for all that horror and terror that we associated her with, she's quite fine in class actually. Of course, this is based on the assumption that she doesn't scream at us for the remaining of the year... Quite impossible... Yup, but no doubt we'll finally have a proper GP tutor now. Today was double periods of GP, one hour and forty minutes! And in that one hour and forty minutes, I learnt GP cognition skills that was equivalent to the five months of GP lessons that I've been attending. YES, MS SHARON PHUA IS AWESOME. I don't know how she did it. But that was the only GP lesson that I probably got the most out of it... I'll much rather look past the demandings and disciplines if that meant a distinction in GP...

Other than that, my life's pretty much peaceful at the moment. Had Sports Day yesterday, and my class was just sitting stoically watching all the races and cheering half-heartedly with purple poms-poms... Aerius got 3rd, which was kinda disappointing cos we did quite well...

God has been great. If you choose to live a life for Him and trust in His plans for you, He'll guide you along the journey...

And for the disturbing facts... I hate to think about it, but sadly it's becoming more and more true. I think I know more girls than guys in NJ. I think maybe I'm really naggy. And I think I'm really rubbishy and lame.

And most of all, I wish too that you're here by my side now...

Wahoo! I just came back home... Today was College Day at NJ, and the date falls so nicely that it was the celebration dinner after the 40 Days of Purpose as well... Anyway, the main gist was that I went for College Day first to sell chicken fillets, then rushed back to corps for the final parts of the celebration dinner...

Okay, here's the details...

I'm a pig today. I woke up at 10 am today, and was supposed to meet Rhoda at Jurong East to buy the oil for the frying of the chicken... Oh, for College Day my class sold fried chicken fillets cut into small cubes... Yup, I was just about to head for Jurong East when Rhoda said don't need to already. Might as well, it saved me the trouble... Then I went straight to school instead, went around with Amy to get a PVC pole that we stole from the hockey people, then the two of us went to Coronation Plaza to buy disposable gloves and tongs. After that was just plain crazy... I spent my time marinating chicken fillets for the WHOLE EVENING... We started at 5 pm, then I didn't get my break till 7 pm... The whole time I was just pouring frying seasoning into the tray, grab a piece of chicken, slap it in the powder and trying hard not to sneeze, coat it entirely with the seasoning, then dump it into the next tray for the eggs and breadcrumbs before frying. It wasn't as bad as it seemed, cos I was having fun by being totally lame and random (shuffle) and being a total idiot and acting cute in front of Sheng De's/Amy's camera(s). Then we were still marinating and frying at 8 pm, and everyone was just so tired and sick of looking at the poor chickens. Oh, Mr Leong helped a bit to fry/marinate. What, THREE SOLID HOURS OF MARINATE ON MY FINGERS!! But the effort was well-worth it, cos everyone enjoyed themselves and we've sold only half of our chickens but still made a profit (I think)... The class spirit was awesome!!

After we cleared up I went to corps for the celebration dinner... Oh, Weiting and Dai Xuan came back too... Yup, ate a little bit of food from the buffet dinner, sat down with my cell group and acted cute AGAIN... Now I think I'm so good at acting cute that I don't need to act anymore. Hee hee... Anyway, my cell group were joint-first in the games! Too bad I wasn't part of it as I wasn't there yet, but I'm still proud of them... The cell group spirit was awesome!!

What happened after celebration dinner? Oh well, let's just keep it a secret between me and you. Hmm, it did rained VERY HEAVILY, showers of love and blessings... What more can I say??

Hi Peiling, if you're reading this... The blog is going to take a longer time than expected. I don't have the time, but I'll promise to set it up and running by June holidays. Or if I get to overthrow you, whichever comes first... HAHAHA... And you never buy chickens from me!!

Okay, that's a rather long entry. I'm going to sleep. Good night people... [O.o]zz

Hmm... The Indian coral tree that my Principal planted during the Earth Week is officially dead and withered now. Well, when we first planted it there were still like 10 leaves on the tree sapling, but 3 weeks later, all that's left is a stump with no leaves left... Well, Hsiu Tzu and me went down to Thomson today to get a replacement for the tree. Then I was whining and complaining and acting weird and everything to poor Hsiu Tzu, who had to endure all my nonsense... Haha... And we were walking from Goodwood Florist to FarEastFlora to Hawaii Landscape to goodness knows where, and none of them stock any Indian corals because it's a seasonal tree and it wasn't the season!! Bah, then the stupid thing was that none of them had any tree saplings, so in the end we bought this curry plant and we told Huiling that it was a "tree"... Hee... Then we had to lug the pot and plant all the way back to NJ, watched the Angklung Ensemble practiced for College Day, then went around the school hopping around and shuffling about... Haha, Hsiu Tzu is my new good friend in Greenlink... (:

Was checking my mail... "Q: Who do you miss most right now? A: Monster..." Oh gosh... Thank you thank you... I'm thinking a lot about you too... (:

Bweh... I'm very very very tired... All I want right now is my bed and fall into a deep sleep... Sleep sleep sleep... ZZZZzzzzzz...

Just came home from Corps... It's the 2nd last week of 40 Days of Purpose for the small groups, and I guess my cell group really bonded extremely well with each other... Somehow I never really got that sense of satisfaction when I was still a cell member. Now that I'm leading the cell and initiating everything, there's this fulfilment and joy that comes from watching your group grow in maturity... Love you people... (:

Okay, we're doing Ministry this week, and last Sunday was Ministry Fair... Well, part of the discussion questions this week was to say something good about a particular person of the cell group, sort of like revealing what they're good at and to also as a form of bonding... Well, we had fun praising (and dissing) each other, I don't think anybody mind... Hee hee... But all of them said I was naggy and woman!! Hmph! I'm not naggy, and neither am I woman... Okay, self-denial... I think I'm a bit naggy, and just a teeny weeny bit woman... Whatever, I still think I'm not naggy and woman...

Wednesday, 4 May 2005

Oh my crap... It's only Wednesday and I'm already so brain-dead from too much school... I think I'm seriously wasting all my time at tutorials. I have absolutely no time to do those Maths tutorials, and all the homework seems to pile on top of each other every week. As of speaking now, I still have 2 Lit worksheets undone, a GP essay due tomorrow, tutorials since Mathematical Induction and my PI draft to be done. Oh man, how I DETEST Project Work... It's simply the bane of my life. I don't see the point in it, and I don't have the time and energy to do it. BAARRRGGGHHHH...

Andrew Tay from the Nature Society came down to NJ this afternoon for the ladscaping of the garden. He's very professional, gave us a lot of tips and hints, and it's evident that he knows his greens. Looks like a big project going underway for that plot of land. And I highly suspect myself to be very involved in that entire landscaping of the garden... Sigh...

Okay, at least one thing good is that 05A01's constituent are a bunch of GREAT PEOPLE!! Really truthfully honestly... Sometimes I wish there were more guys in the class, but the female gender is plain awesome... Every lecture or tutorial or lunch breaks, I find myself the only guy among 6~7 girls. Haha...

And I missed you a lot... Need you by my side...

Found these pictures from Bizarro.com, which just totally explains my cause for being animal-friendly...

Saturday, 30 April 2005

Okay, I'm very tired. Got tonnes of homework to do over the weekend. I just realised that I haven't been doing all my tutorials and assignments... I mean, yes, I only realised it yesterday, and I've not touched any tutorials for at least 3 weeks already... And this whole week all 3 Lit teachers were on course, so all our Lit lessons and lectures were free, but of course there's a lot of homework given. And add those to the Maths homework that I still owe, so I've got a lot to catch up.

3 tests this week. First time since 6 or 7 months... I mean, I kinda miss the old days of studying for my O's. In the past it's normal to have at least 5 to 6 tests crammed in one week, now it's only 3 tests and I'm crumbling from the pressure... But they're okay I guess... I got 14 of 20 for Econs MCQ, then Maths wasn't as bad as it seemed to be...

Greenlink is NOT a slack CCA. Anybody who says so ought to be smacked. Really. After all those time spent planning the Earth Week campaign, getting proposals thrown back at you, scripts rejected, rehearsals, preparations, balloons, ribbons, and a whole lot of other stuff. WHOO... Earth Week was officially over yesterday. The opening ceremony was AWESOME, then I spent all my lunch hours selling SPCA merchandise and 2nd-hand books... One good thing was I gained instant recognition from the pub-stunt and the SPCA/2nd-hand books selling. Everybody I meet in NJ now know me as "the guy from greenlink"... Okie, lame... After Earth Week is all the green competitions, then I'm co-IC with Peiling for the landscaping of the garden... Hee, I thought I can rest a bit after Earth Week, but apparently not.

Went for old 05A01 class outing on Wednesday. I miss them A LOT A LOT... There's just some things that are incomparable to these bunch of special people... Had dinner and talked rubbish and poked fun at each other and basically just caught up with things with each other...

The new class of 05A01 is awesome too. I was in a lousily bad mood on Thursday, snapped at Shi En in the morning, and then sulked my way through the whole day... What really touched me was the concern from everyone and anyone, trying to cheer me up and everything... Thanks, you guys really light up my world...

And, thank you for putting up with my tiredness and grumpiness and craziness... Hee... Save the orang-utans...

And that's basically it for now... I'm tired and lazy... Hee hee... (:

Sunday, 24 April 2005

I'm extremely busy this week. Greenlink meetings practically everyday, and it doesn't end till about 7pm in the evening. Everyday I reach home so tired and dump that I don't feel like doing anything else... I think I'm in a permanently grumpy mood... And I'm sick. Caught a flu bug from Amy, then I started coughing again as well... Wednesday was council election speeches, sat in the hall to listen through every elect (about 100 of them)... Friday was the only day that I didn't have Greenlink, so I slacked around with Atiqah and Jaslyn and goodness knows who... Went to watch the tennis match (NJ won CJ 4-1), then went to the library to cast in my votes for the council elects...

40 days of purpose is pretty good so far... My cell group is superb, we went fo breakfast this morning before service, and everyone is happy with each other (I think)... And we did this "passing sheets of paper round to write good things about the person" thingy, then Pei Ying is going to be my spiritual partner for the rest of the 40 days and Andre is hilarious and co-cell leading with Biru is quite fun actually....

I need sleep... And thanks for the Strepsils... I think the coughing stopped...

Monday, 18 April 2005

Hi I'm in school now... Waiting for Greenlink to start, got another hour to go... I've been waiting since 1230, and it doesn't begin till 1630... There's Atiqah and Amy beside me now, apparently slacking as I am. Think I'm wasting my time here... Wasting like 240 minutes of my life, or 14400 seconds... Okay, I'm going nuts. I want green tea. And I got 20 odd people to vote into council, but the problem is each person is only given 12. Hmm... Oppotunity costs is going to be high.

Ms Koh said our Human Geog report on India looked impressive on first glance... At least it justified the 3 plus plus hours spent on the computer yesterday...

Hung this big tag round my neck that says Pick Khairi because I'm advertising for his council application. Think I look stupid, cos everywhere I go people stares at me like I'm some monster...

Sunday, 17 April 2005

I need more time. There's tonnes of things to be done. Greenlink and Earth Week is sucking a lot of time. 40 Days of Purpose leading is a bit stressful. Homework not done. PW rubbish. Hello Kitty. Nutseed. Trying to bond with my new classmates. Trying to squeeze time for my family. And trying to keep in touch with friends. And trying to do this, do that... I need to prioritize...

A bit impatient lately, but trying very hard not to blow up and explode. But I can feel myself swelling up like a balloon though...

I'm still wishing for my green tea to be pink... Nobody knows how to do it...

Wednesday, 13 April 2005

Put my ez-link card through some serious tapping today... Practically the whole afternoon for me was hopping from one bus to another. Okay, let me try and narrate the entire sequence... Morning as usual was bus 74 to NJ, met Han Xiang on the bus. Then after school, I went down to Trinity's Manna bookstore on bus 74 to get some stuff, then I took 852 all the way to opposite Whitley because I wanted to go to Concourse. Met Qi Ling (what a flirt... Haha...) and her friend Hong Keow on the bus, then I took bus 54 all the way to CHIJ TP just to change to bus 980, which goes all the way to Concourse. I bought the stuff required for Greenlink's Earth Week launch, cost me a cool $20, but it's going to be a rebate from Greenlink funds... Then I took bus 980 back home, and boy, I hate Beach Road and North Bridge Road... Was caught in the jam, and what was worse was that each time the bus moved 50 metres, it'll be stopped by a traffic light... There were so many traffic lights at every junction, and they all like to turn red at the same time. I stopped opposite Novena MRT to change to bus 54 (again), the whole bus trip was very crowded, met David Chan on the bus along the way...

Okay, I calculated... 7 bus trips altogether... I'm going to go nuts over buses, like Ebenizer...

Tuesday, 12 April 2005

I've been extremely busy and tired the past week and this week so far... Last Friday was the first small group meeting for 40 Days of Purpose, and Biru so nicely chose a good time to catch a fever on that day, so I had to lead alone (with a little bit of Ben's help)... And what was worse was the night before I got into a super moody mood, flared up at people... Terrible...

Then on Saturday morning I had to drag myself down to Botanical Gardens because Greenlink is in the midst of a camp and BG was the venue for our fashio parade... Lugged several empty cans, all the arty stuff like paint, had an hour to design a costume out of all those recycled materials... Sabrina very kindly "volunteered" to be our model; tied this white cloth that was smudged with paint around her, there's a chain of cans as a scarf, a newspaper hat with lots of cut-out images from the BG pamphlets... Yup, the end result is a very cute and Indian-looking Sab... Haha, and of course we won... We're the Art and Publicity committee after all...

I don't know, I think maybe I'm indeed losing my patience over a lot of things... The homework load, left undone, just piles up continuously, and Project Work is probably going to take up a lot of time, then I still need to set time for quiet time, and there's this rubbish immersion thingy with Taiwan...

A01 finally had their first outing... Monday night was dinner at KAP Mac's...

Oh, did I mention I pass my NAPFA?? Woohoo! I passed my standing broad jump on the dot. 206cm was required to pass, and I did that on the mark. I think it's the first time since primary school NAPFA, can't remember... Got 6 for pull-ups, 10.3s for shuttle run, 58 (personal best... Muahaha) for sit-ups, 30-something for sit-and-reach... So basically I got C and above in most stations except broad jump... BUT I PASSED!! Yea, and 2.4km is coming soon...

Friday, 8 April 2005

I wish I had an unlimited supply of green tea... Must be the Pokka jasmine one... But I wish that green tea is pink in colour, but that would mean it would have to be called "pink tea". I want the name to stay "green tea" except that the liquid must be pink... Can it be "pink green tea"? Or should it be "green tea that is pink"?? Hmm...

Thursday, 7 April 2005

Hmm... School is good so far. I'm integrating well with my new classmates, there's a Chok Tong and a Hsien Loong somewhere, cos these two girls "renamed" themselves so that the three of us can form a political party in our class, mainly because I'm Kuan Yew... Yar, I know it's lame... But it's this kind of silly jokes that draw you together as a class... The bonding times, the newly built foundations of friendship... Oh, Wednesdays are designated PINK SOCKS DAY!! Muaha, there's like 3 or 4 other girls in class who are crazy over pink too... Pink heaven...

Went to Swensen's yesterday evening with all the AmazinGrace planning people. Ate a lot, then there's still a lot of fattening ice cream... Then there's birthday celebrations at school too. I'm now the Geography rep in class, and newly-appointed "cake rep"... Yea, on Monday I bought this Oreo's Delight cake for Wei Kit's birthday, then last night after Swensen's I bought this Tiramisu cake from BreadTalk for Sam's and Kai Jie's (new classmates) birthday...

I miss the old A01 a lot. Just had a good long chat with Shih Ying the other day, and it just hit me how much I want the class to stay unseparated. And everytime I bump into people like Benny, Sheng-De etc, I just can't stop thinking of all the stuff we did back when we were a class together... I know that change is inevitable, but it's still saddening to think off all those wonderful moments...

Gotta shake off that old A01 inertia... Preserve the memories, and at the same time focus on what is ahead in the future...

Saturday, 2 April 2005

Officially met our class-mates for the next 2 years... Yup, I'm still in 05A01, and Mr Leong is still our CT. Sara and Benny went to 05A02 cos they were humanities scholarship applicants, and everyone just basically split up to all the different Sciences classes... Quite miserable actually, considering that 7 people stayed in A01, and a lot of the new people in our class was from AJ in their first 3 months... And the proportion of males to females is skewed... 6 or 7 guys to 15 or 16 girls...

Anyway, when to Spotlight for the 3rd time in 2 weeks, but I think the Heeren record (5 times in a week) is more impressive... Haha... I was tasked to get ribbons for Greenlink, cos there's this Earth Week coming up. And suddenly, after like 3 months of inactivity, Greenlink suddenly has a lot of events coming up... Amazing... Oh, I submitted my application to join Library also. But now the trend for most "slacking students" is to drop all their CCA commitments, cos the PEARLS system is abolished already... Don't know whether if I'm rational or irrational to pick up another CCA...

And the school is forcing me to take Literature... Apparently I got into NJ by my own merit, so I have to adhere to college standards by taking 4 A Level subjects. WHAT A BUMMER... I was actually contented with 3 As, but now there's this whole issue with Lit when I'm not even interested in it...

We've got 2 previously-in-05A02 people that's now in A01, and they're wanting to switch back to their original class. And Sara and Benny also want to switch back to A01, so them and their friends in A02 made a whole big RARA hoohah by stating reasons and demanding to see teachers-in-charge of the class allocations... Quite rash behavior in my perspective, and there were lots of tears...

I'm feeling quite sad too... All my good friends are either in other colleges or in other classes...

40 Days of Purpose is starting this Sunday. Weng Yin came on Friday for the youth launch/connection party, and Dai Xuan (Yurong's friend in NJ, she's in Greenlink also) came too... All of us skipped the dance party, but I heard they played an April Fool's joke by stopping the party half-way through...

And, lastly, Happy Birthday to Cheryn and Keat Fu, birthday wishes tomorrow... And to Wei Kit on Monday...
