Life is great

It feels great to hae opportunities to catch up with old friends and friends alike. Praise God for allowing my sec sch frens and army frens to just talk to me on MSN. Recently, I've been having quite a few ppl talking to me and asking how i've been. It just feels great to be remembered. Praise God once again! =)

Of course, I'm thankful for the recent creation of the tiggatiggers for I don't remember laughing as much since the last time I've laughed that much. Being sucked into this vortex of youthfulness (because I'm the oldest in that group and the youngest is just 14) reminded me so much about my secondary school days when I was in the Holland V/Planets. The times where we just sat outside the staff room during recess time, talking and talking and having so much jokes. It was great!

Come to think of it, throughout the years of my life, I've been in quite a few cliques like holland V, 3 musketeers and1 extra, J cubeS, 7 wanderers and now the tiggatiggers (though the members are seriously very young!). It sort of reminded me how much I've actually grown and how old I actually am. Feels like all of a sudden, I'm going to be 21 and everything just went pass like that. How interesting...

I'm very thankful for the many lovely and sweet memories I had and how God has made my life so colourful and filled it with happiness. Yes, there are definitely times when I feel down and out but the fact that God is always right beside me to pick me up when I fall, comforts me a huge load! Also, I'm always reminded that all the times when things don't go the way you want it to go, are times where God moulds us and wants us to learn something from it. That's how great God is ain't it? Life without God just feels meaningless!

Alright, just a caution to all to not watch superhero movie if you are not a fan of lame jokes because the movie is full it. And the storyline does not have any link at all. Furthermore, towards the end of the movie, part of it was cut away, so viewers were left in a state of confusion over what happened. Haaa...

Here's a picture of the tiggatiggers if you've been wondering who I'm talking about...

School is starting in 2 weeks time... Just can't wait! =)

End of yet another chapter...

Today sort of marks the end of my relief teaching days because the school I'm working for will be having their Mid-years next week. Therefore, they will not need any relief teachers for that period. I will surely miss some of my students, the ones who never fails to make me laugh. The experience gained is definitely valuable and enriching. Its interesting to get to meet different kinds of people with different personalities and see how students behave in a co-ed secondary school (since I spent 10 years of my life in a boys school). Oh well... hopefully I'll get to do a proper farewell one of these days...

Tomorrow will mark the last day of me being active in montfort's choir practices and it will also be the last day for the sec 4s since choir practice will stop for preparation for mid years. I guess I've drawn myself close to the choir, though they are like a million years younger than me. It has been good and meaningful time spent during each choir practice with the juniors. Though they might not be good, its still the good times spent together that makes it memorable. It feels very secondary school-ish all over again and I seem to become more and more child-like. But being able to help them through conducting practices and all feels good. Some might say that they are a lost cause or it is a waste of my time to go back and help. But I just feel that I should offer my help and give them the moral support, to let them know that they have a senior who cares about them. And it feels great to know that the choir and the teachers appreciates my presence and help.=)

Oh well... One chapter closes and another opens. Let the Lord lead me through it all eh =) School's starting. Can't wait!

Exhausted

I feel like a walking zombie today. I've been feeling so exhausted since morning and the amount of time spent on sleeping today is scary. I guess it must have been the late nights and early mornings that kill me. Slept late on thursday and friday evening. Furthermore, I woke up early on friday, worked, went to Montfort immediately for their founder's day rehearsal, then home to bathe and was out the next moment to meet up with the 04S208 peeps and by the time i reached home, it was about 11.40pm. However, I'm not going to complain about it because the time spent was great and it was worth it =)

Alright, school is starting very very soon and I'm beginning to feel more and more excited about it. The school I'm working for says tat I can go back for relief teaching on days where I have no lessons. So I'm quite happy about it. Then again, when my 1st sem officially starts, i doubt I will have so much time to do relief teaching since my 5 modules will most probably occupy every single day.

Founder's day rehearsal at Montfort was not bad before stage time and quite bad when they are on stage. It was truly a lol moment on stage with them. haaa... At least they sounded presentable during practice, which makes it consoling to know that they are capable of that standard. wahaha... How I wish I know how to help them improve chorally...

Oh well... Here are some photos from the SYF display band 2008 and random ones... Sadly, my cousin's sec sch got a silver. I though they did pretty well though... haaa...

Life is great with God in my Life! Hallelujah!! =)

Planetshakers!

For the past 2 nights, Song Choon and I went to expo for the planetshakers and Tim Hugh praise and worship session. Praise and worship was great!! I've never felt so free in my life. God is definitely in our presence and the holy spirit was definitely there to fill the place! Yippee doodles! I just felt so high throughout... Though I was super tired yesterday, I'm glad that I went because God will guide me through! =))

Some photos from the event taken by me with my lousy handphone...

Grandma's Birthday

My family celebrated my grandmother's birthday on sunday. It was quite an interesting celebration.. haaa...

This year's celebration was held at the same place again, Carribean at Keppel Bay and the food was from the same place, Mum's Kitchen, with the exact same dishes from last year. However, something funny happened. It took my aunty 2 hours to drive my grandmother from ang mo kio to Harbour Front. Why so? She got lost. Haha... It was very very amusing. My cousins, brother and I were sitting in front of the buffet table, staring at my aunt giving my other aunt animated instructions on how drive from Hillview to Harbour Front. It was so so funny. In the end, another aunt of mine went all the way to entrance of Carribean to wave at them so that they will not miss the turn. While my aunt was out at the roadside, my whole family was at the balcony of the function room looking and looking, as if we were expecting a meteor to crash into the place. Then, as my grandmother walk towards the function room, my cousins and small baby cousins started waving at her. And my grandmother waved back at them like a queen. The scene was so cute!!!

Anyway, here are some photos of the event...

I feel so high after service today. I don't know why but I just felt so so happy, so so jubilant! Like what I've always said, God is so real! I literally felt his presence throughout the day today. Everywhere I go, everything I do, I just felt Him beside me, watching over me. God is truly great!! Hallelujah!!

A night at MJ

Going back to Meridian yesterday made me realise how much I miss my JC life!! MJChoir had their orientation camp yesterday and the alumni were invited to visit. The choir has grown a lot! They are preparing for their competition at Czech Republic this coming june and they have finished learning the songs and sounded decent for some of the songs. I'm sure they will do well for the coming competition! That itself made me realise how much I miss singing in MJChoir, if not, in a fully functioning choir itself! haaa... We heard from the teacher in charge that 2 of the classroom blocks are air conditioned now! The art room has been converted to a air conditioned study room which allows the students to study till 8.45pm at night and there are all sorts of vending machines around the school now! The pond behind the LTs beautifies the school (compared to the plain grass land I saw when I was still around) and the LTs themselves are going through renovation. By the end of this year, MJ will have a rock wall too for rock climbing! So many changes!! And MJ looks and feels like a cool place to study in now. How lucky our juniors are... wahahaha...

Anyway, here is a photo of the record breaking bottle cap MJ crest I've taken last night. The photo was a bit slanted because I didn't take it from the right side. So I've rotated the photo to make it look correct, but then, the crest now looks oblong in shape. Just to clarify, it looks perfectly circular in school. haaa...

So cool right?! Can't stand it... By the way, the LTs still smell the same even after I've left the school for 3 years. Explains a lot! But the smell is greatly missed... haha

After that, the alumni left for mac donalds at downtown east for supper. We played the card game munchkin which could have been very enjoyable if not for me being very tired. We ended the game at about 2.30am. By then, I was a walking zombie. Wahaha... but the game is interesting, no doubt =)

Interesting!

God has once again proven that he is watching over me and is by my side every second of my life. I was sitting in front of my lappie, asking God to give me something to do to take my mind off the stress and stuff. Lo and behold, after a few seconds, Song Wei MSN-ed me and asked me if I want to jog with him! Instantaneous answer to my prayer! Praise God!!! =)

However, we didn't get to jog in the end as it started raining. Haha... Oh well, at least i left house and managed to watch one soccer team play soccer a Hougang stadium. Also, the cheesecake that I've baked seems to have failed. Sigh... Shall see the outcome tomorrow!

God is great!!! =)))
