Rethinking my loyalties and commitments.
Perhaps i bit off more than i could chew?
I don't want to renounce my loyalties, but i only have 24 hours everyday.

HALLELOOOYAH!

Well i can't believe i found my tie just now while walking back to check where it dropped. It could have dropped at least at 3 other places but i found it outside amk hub!

Sad that i've misplaced my City News pen.

Seek and you shall find! ;)

Slothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Somebody come to Grandeur 8 and drag Melvin to the gym now.

Grimbright Side

Last week was crazy, traveling a lot again.
Making trips down to SGH with Jacq/to visit her mom over the operation days.
And at home, Mom is haunting me everyday to get a job.
It gets very annoying if its the first thing you hear everyday.

Perhaps AJ was never a place to be called home.
Probably the only memory i'll ever keep of that place is 36/09(:

On a lighter note, section meeting was great!
Got some new visions and affirmations from my Beloved.
And also, Pastor's short but impactful message on 'The Power of Sacrifice' really got me thinking about really how much and how willing i am to sacrifice for various things. Sacrifice is no longer just a form of personal loss for a greater good but I've understood how it means and embodies, so much more.
Probably the best thing that happened this week was when Pastor Tan shared his vision about City News and how it all started.
Just simply amazing.

Faith balloon is now 18 inches big!
Gotta keep air inside for the upcoming week and make it grow bigger.

Happy 2010!

HELLO PEOPLE!
First post of 2010! I apologize for my overdue absence on this blog.
Every single day since the new year started has been jam packed with activities.
Loved:
-Europe
-Class Chalet
-Countdown with Max, Jacq and Gwen(First day of the year club already :O)
-NP open house where we did the recording

I'm really really lazy to do any writing right now, so i'll put up a short synopses about each event.
-edited-
I just realised i have a gabillion things to talk about Europe, so i'm seperating it.

Countdown 2010!
Went down to the floating platform on the last day of 2009 to attend Celebrate 2010! Max had tickets from his friend so we headed down. Got turned away from entering about 3-4 times because the mosh pit entry was really far away(when you're walking down from Esplanade). It was kinda boring because the energy was a little low, but it picked up once we went live, and especially when Da Zhui Ba came on stage. There were like this group of indians behind us that were shouting out their songs in chinese! Hilarious, seriously.
Loved Jack and Rai's performances, really awesome.
But the highlight of the night was really the 8-minute fireworks! Snapped a heiload of photos, mostly by Gwen.




After that was a massive dance party on the floating stadium itself! My first clubbing event in 2010! Got stopped for IC check but apparently they went by year so Gwen and me passed the check haha! Danced the night away till about 2 where we headed for supper at Clarke Quay. Ambiency at the riverside after that, ok aside from the occasional puke we had to avoid on the floor and the groups of people sleeping around, we managed to find a spot to ourselves next to the river to chill. Went on a round trip later on in search for breakfast, learning that neither ZAMZAM nor SELEGIE opens in 5-7am in the morning.
Caught our individual buses/trains home later. A shag shag day, nevertheless, had a really great time. ;D





Class Chalet
First night was the wildest hands down haha! Too bad too little people stayed.
2nd day morning everyone was quite stonned out and hungry for breakfast(Yvonne demanding to go breakfast once she woke up around 11 or later). Brunched at Superdog and gave Levinia our BBQ-smell+sweat+other substances hug. Went off from chalet to TP's open house with MJ(a.k.a Shark), Yun Ru and Jacq. Jacq practically met one friend at every school we went. "See, this is why i tell you you have 1000++ friends."
MJ apparently does not care if chinese words are read backfirst or frontfirst. LOL.
Headed back to chalet, where i learned how to cycle a tandem bike! That's one of my first achievements in 2010! Haha :D
Well, this post could have been longer but 'what's said and done in the room stays in the room." ;)
Juin Li: "When i read Jacq and Gwen's blogs i get sadded cos they lead such happening lives." LOL. Juin Li maybe you know why now i have difficulty doing tutorials and doing PW.

NP Open House 2010!
Can't believe Jack and Rai were there on the previous day!
Went over to NP with YR, Shark and Jacq again to check out various stuffffffffs.
Anyway, while we were in the CMS showcase, the teacher(i think) and students of course were trying to convince everyone inside the room to do a recording inside their studio. Leonard said he needed a translator set. Well no one dared to step up to the plate and finally Jacq and me voluteered to do it. The script seemed to be something out of the 9pm show right now, with WW2 stuff and all that with the Jap random shooting people in the streets. Hopefully my reading in chinese was convincing enough, and not that angmohnised.
NP seems like the place to be, not AJ :(

Levinia said on FB: 9 hours to doom.
Melv: Look on the bright side, its 9 hours to freedom. ;)
