Wow!! Tim is finally back. Ok ok guys i'm realllly sorry this time. But you know what, i've finally quite all online games and got back on the right track...yes it's about time...2 years late. Well well...why suddenly got so many of sean's frens tagging here?? strange leh. But HI anyway i guess. The only tags on my tagboard...simply encouraging and wonderful of all of ya.
Well the past week of school has been characterised by many many things....Poverty's been the theme so i guess i'll go along that line.
Poverty Symposium:
Ya so there was the symposium and all...sigh...but of all things we had to do the work security issues and stuff, and we HAD to go NTUC!!! well at least we got free milo, and we had lots of free time in school :D. Did up a montage with my newly found photoshop skills, ok, not so newly-found...but it was quite fun to see the SDP website and how they kinda contrasted the PAP's quotes with pictures on poverty. (Mrs Goh Chok Tong: $600 is peanuts!, Mr Goh: Your problems are ours, ya ya...)
Presentation was sad. Mrs Sim said i presented in a weird voice. Where got?? :(
So we might think that our government is bad and bad and bad. But Singaporeans...sigh...love to complain too much, too much for our own good...My uncle told me...he was with this taiwanese guy in a taxi b4, and someone in there was bickering about the govt, when the taiwanese guy says: You want to trade for Chen Shui Bian? Says alot...our govt is actually really really great in making for us a safe place to be in.
Sleep Poverty:
Yes. Many Reasons. Don't ask. But i will still list them :D
1) Prayer and Fellowship at Aunt's place:
Prayer was really meaningful experience...once again we commited to God the Preaching Point and all the various ministries as well as the activities going on in the church. Durian eating session again...and i'm still too weak to singlehandedly open a durian...so sad lor :(...but i still ate ...and ate alot k...i'm not anorexic!!
2) Hike Recce:
Sigh, that tiring Saturday. Out at 630, back at 1030 (in the nite lah..). Sian, whilst everyone else was resting for that third place playoff right? Well, it was like any other saturday i guess, the usual BB stuff, Guild Time and soccer with the whole of Galatia. But the special thing this time was BS with Mr Charles...wow. a jolly man full of the joy of the Lord, wish i could really experience that joy as well...it's so hard esp. when i'm always so hard on myself. Condemming and blaming myself and stuff...shouldn't be that way..we're forgiven and should be joyous!
So after BB was the tiring tiring Hike Recce. From Harborfront, a mad dash up to Mt. Faber's peak and down again and up to Telok Blangah Hill. Crazy stuff. Bashing through the jungles of Buona Vista, getting ourselves muddy in the land of Rocher road, and getting all sticky and uncomfortable in the rainforests of Dover. Was fun though. And we passed the time singing and singing. lol...still remember emerging from dense vegetation into this 'Little Bali' place, and we were all singing National Day songs patriotically! There was stares...who are these weird people? :D That's us. Well Jian yang got injured so we went back early.
Hike focus was then moved. The irony was that it would be a spiritual experience. Impacting the Sec 1s and touching their hearts...wow...big task ahead and i can only pray that God uses my unclean hands to do His holy work. Please Lord...renew my passion and first love for you...if it be Your will...so many times i feel so dry..so dry...so hypocritical...
KAP for lunch that night. For the uninitiated. KAP is King Albert Park. So by default i reach home late. Bathe. Lie on the bed and as my fingers caress the top of my homework. I fall alsleep. Interesting.
3) World Cup Mania
So Derek invited me for a much anticipated sleepover at his place to watch the final showdown between France and Italy :D It was a dark dark night as me and Fab searched high and low for his place, unsure of his address, up and down those nasty HDB flats...so confusing. But we found it...his nice lil cosy home. Derek and Kenny (affectionately known as Kelly) on the comp playing DOTA, which i'm a total newbie at...never played b4...even if i did, i was definitely button mashing :D
Other activities included playing cards, getting the Queen Spades four times in a row in Hearts, Derek shooting the moon twice and thus dealing me the kill shot, Taiti with no stripping involved (no ideas Derek...), Fiddling with Fab's Gameboy and trying to get corrupted catridges to work....eventually settling for pokemon...yes i know...pokemon. Soccer at 1 am in the morn...hopefully the neighbourhood didn't mind. Barebacked soccer....kenny's fault k? we were exposed.
Finally the match. I knew i couldn't survive. I didn't, i knocked off. Barthez clowned around with the corners....the usual. The most cringeworthy moment for me was probably the headbutt on materazzi...zidane was furious. Over what? i wouldn't know would i? but it was a depressing end to his world cup career. For the record: 1-1 and italy winning 4-3 on penalties. Poor Trezeguet...must have been wrecked after all that.
Slept at 6 in the morn. Woke up at 8. Had piano and school at 1. By the end of the day. I was half dead. Watching Bend it Like Beckham did not help one bit. Oh yea. Pirates as well...the previous nite. I think i needed the rum/coffee/whatever to stay awake. Therefore i was tired!
Art Club Poverty:
Aiyah...no art club this week...so sad. Lejon pon-tang again!
Last week was seriously fun. Sean made the prezzie for his church fren, of course i chipped in a little. After that we went mad making clay figurines of japanese cuisine (ahh! IHS!) Sashismi...variations of sushi...stuff like that. the egg sushi looked convincing. Madam's otah was even more convincing. And we all had fun....for the first time in many many sessions....
sigh..the old OM days...miss ya.
Time Poverty:
Speaks for itself. I've been sleeping more. No time for hwk. sigh. No time to practice for piano exam on 3 Aug...*gasp* that is like 3 weeks! i'm dead!!!!!
