exchange

:] Some friends may be going to South Korea just before school starts in NUS, to travel with me for around a week?

Which means if all goes well, I'm leaving Singapore in end July, once their trip is confirmed (pretty much so) and once I get my KU admission package and book my own one-way flight. :) Can't wait! Hope to get my letter from KU soon. Will be staying at Myeong-dong for the trip, which is a happening place (: yay

School is over for me till after CNY (: Pretty good so far except having many more readings which are not like before anymore - more demanding and harder to absorb. Just hope all goes well in 2012

First Week

The first week of school is effectively over and I am already lagging behind my readings. So starting from this week onward, I'm going to school at 830am even if lecture is at 12pm, just to catch up since I somehow don't ever use weekends to study.

Went for Foster The People Live in Singapore at Fort Canning yesterday. At the end of the concert, the first thing that came to my mind was "this is way more tiring than clubbing". Nevertheless, the gig was awesome. (: Would be better if Houdini, my favorite song by them, was not played first, but Pumped Up Kicks as the ending song was definitely a good one. Loved their musical interludes and transitions between songs - nicely weaved between songs to create a beautiful tapestry.

Wedding on 7 Jan

School has been alright so far for the past two days. Tons of readings to do so soon, many which I have to search myself from LINC (the online NUS library server) or visit RBR (reserve section of library) to find the specific book and photocopy the specific chapters, really troublesome. I wish I have a laptop because it is getting harder to keep everything organized and not have to kill too many trees :(

However modules are promisingly interesting and just glad I don't have to stress over Korean this semester.

End of Holidays

First day of school today!

It had been a good holiday; a busy one at first, but ended off with many relaxing and fun things to do. Liangfu and Yuan was married 2 days back and I feel so happy for them. After 9 years of being together since JC1, they are finally married and you can just sense everyone's joy for them during the wedding. Wedding was held at the Chapel of Holy Spirit in SAJC, the school where they first met, which makes the place all the more special. The wedding on Saturday was so sweet and heartwarming; self-written vows memorized, a video confessing how they met, first kiss, what they think of each other...and a very funny and handsome groom with a very bubbly and pretty bride. (:
More pictures soon

God first love us, and that's why we can love others and live a life of love.


Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo recently, not realizing its a R21 show till upon entering the theatre. Thankfully I was not checked, must be due to the heels I was wearing and the one with me in business attire after visiting a career fair. The movie is a good one so I'm glad that my first R21 is a good show, and just glad that I watch all the traumatizing scenes with someone I trust, which makes watching a R21 movie less traumatizing.

For this holiday I...
Watched the same movie twice
I watched 6 movies (in cinemas or videos): Apple of My Eye, One Day, The Classic (Korean show), Sherlock Holmes, Summer Wars (Japanese animated show), The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo
I ran very little and put on weight because I was sick
I was sick
I fell down at Pulau Ubin and so I can't exercise again till my injuries are healed -.-
I went for 3 retreats altogether
I celebrated a great Christmas
I had a quiet NYE
I got into exchange and submitted my applications
I gained something

Right now, I feel so thankful after all the honest (and a tad emotional) talks recently. I really hope by God's grace and favor, we can go through whatever. I pray that I am good and become better.

“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it and think how different its course would have been. Pause, you who read this, and think for a long moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on that memorable day.”

—	Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

So on the second day of the year, I went to Pulau Ubin, lost control of my bike and fell badly. The first dive to the floor I've ever made in life. My mommy teared when I removed the plaster covering my chin and showed her my bruise. I didn't expect that.

Just glad I didn't break any bones, fall off a cliff and lost my life. GLAD TO BE ALIVE! :D

2012, you sure start on an exciting note.

Kindness 2 retreat this year felt short because all the guys have to book-in or attend classes. It felt different to have them leave the retreat earlier. Nonetheless, had a good time of steamboat, taboo, sharing, encouragements and so on. (: 

Starting to feel bored with my holiday and can't wait to go to school. First month of school always feels like holiday especially for the second semester, thanks to Chinese New Year, so I'm not complaining even if school starts next Monday. With my awesome timetable next semester, I'm going to live through a semester of long weekends that can be as long as 4 days :)
This semester is going to be way better than the previous one.

For this semester, I am going to...
1) The beach
2) Gym after class with cherie
3) Visit Butter
4) the usual commitments
5) try not to lag behind my readings
6) improve my CAP before it freezes for SEP
