Preparing to leave

Hmm ok, how should I even write this post? I seriously am at a loss at what to write. Hmmm, fine I shall start with what happened over the past few days or weeks. Fine, over the holiday.

First of all, I helped out in the Pre-teens camp A.K.A JY camp. Well I must say, it certainly feels different to be back at that camp as a mentor and helper and not as a camper. The hours were very free and mostly I spent it listening to their lessons and also joining in the activities (like the human knot game in which the brothers took a REALLY long time to complete since all of them joined in the knot) But on Sunday I joined in the visiting during youth service since I couldn't follow with the outdoor activity. Me and Amanda went to visit a fellow member along with a lot of people (well i can only remember Jean, James, Emmalyn, Samantha, Jonathan, Yun Feng, Bro Han Hua, Bro Guo Hua, Bro Derek, Sis Mag, Sis En Hsin...) Ok fine that was almost everyone but I can't really remember. After that we came back to church and we (Jean, Samantha, Emmalyn, Amanda, Yun Feng, Teacher Zshen Chou , Betty and others whom I also can't remember) went to Turf City for lunch. Well Teacher Zshen Chou missed an exit on the PIE so we took a nice trip around Bukit Timah before arriving. Lol. After lunch we went back to church and met with Julia while Yun Feng, Robin, Jonah and Teacher Ben went to scrub the preacher room cupboards with turpentine. And when I went in to see, I was sent to get drinks since I was a "helper" (what on earth la I don't see the logic in THAT) So I bought 'em, came back, got "high" on turpentine (so-called high, im NOT a inhalant abuser), poked Teacher Ben and Yun Feng with a bolster from the preacher room and drank the drinks with 'em. Wheeeeeee... then they went to somewhere la. Back to the camp. It feels sorta weird that you're older and the younger ones are...how should I put this... always wanting to be your friend.(well most of the sisters) Something like that I guess. However after the telematch day, most of the helpers got "evicted" because they could not support so many people, so yeah I left. End of camp.

Then came the homework rushing time. Now I had A LOT of homework. Considering it was already the 19th of November and I had made a promise to finish everything before my cousins came or at most before theolo (which would be 23rd Nov and 2nd Dec respectively) and the fact that I'm VERY easily distracted and spent most of the first part of hols slacking and am VERY lazy, you could say I was doomed to be dead. (Well thats what I felt. And for those crazy ones who say a math paper, math assesment book with dunno how many questions to do, 2 english and 4 chinese essays, a comprehension, a summary and 2 book reviews are not a lot within this short time period, give me a call or tag me so I can knock some sense into you) So I tried my "very best" to concentrate on homework which consisted of doing a few questions and then running off to check the fridge or turning to use the computer. Using this routine and not counting a few days in which 85% of the day was spent going out with my cousins or attending spirtual meeting (which was very fun and enriching by the way), I finally finished off the last of those dumb, irritating, annoying, life-draining, fun-stealing, pieces of nuts which makes you simply marvel at the fact that teachers put you through so much just to make sure they need not refill our rotted brains at the start of school. End of homework phase.

The somewhere in between I went to get my Sec 3 textbooks. Self explantory and not eventful other than my visiting cousins wow-ing at my not-so-glamourous school building. They are so cute sometimes. (What? They're younger than me)

And now I'm here typing this post awaiting tomorrow and still not packed. Oh well I guess I'll slack a little more before I take my own sweet time to pack later. AND MY BIRTHDAY'S COMING!!!! WHEEEEEE! Well I'll just celebrate it during theolo I guess. Wonder what I'll get... Well theolo will be from 2nd December to 24th December and then I shall rest for one day berfore going off for a Youth trip to Batam on the 26th to 28th! By then I guess I'll be very tired but it will be fun I guess since the whole December has been taken. Then I'll come home and die waiting for school. In fact, I don't even know when school will re-open!!! XD WHEEE..... Randomness forever!

Okay its just because I havent eaten lunch yet. Whatever, see you guys (whoever you guys are) in '09! (btw, when you see that this was posted at 11:40 pm on 30th Nov, dont believe it. It was actually posted on 1st Dec at 5:00 pm. My comp's clock is messed up)

What? I like Pikachu.

Ok some quiz...

So I got tagged by Amanda and she says write some weird stuff:

"Rules and regulations: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog entry of their own 10 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state the rules clearly. At the end, you need to choose 10 names to be tagged & list their names."

Ok that was copied and pasted from Wyz's blog but nevermind. Sooo... lets start listin some points then!

1. I used to have super good memory when I was little. I could memorise an entire speech. But now I'm your average person that forgets things very easily.

2. I have a superiority complex. I find being belittled EXTREMELY irritating, like someone trying to treat me like a little girl. That I hate. Except if its from my family that I don't really mind I guess...

3. I'm actually a fish!!! No wait a dog!!! A sheep!!! NO I AM.... *sleeps*

4. I love creating things. Be it in-animate objects or digital objects I just love making things. That's why I like handicraft.

5. I like to torture people >=D

6. I like to kill Wyz and Yun Feng. (In a figurative sense ppl im no mass murderer)

7. I don't like soap operas.

8. I don't KNOW what a soap opera is.

9. Im better at talking rubbish than eating chicken.

10. I LOVE MAGGI MEE!!!!!!!! XD

11. I AM IRON MAN!!! (Iron= Fe, Man= male) THEREFORE I AM FEMALE (what a surprise!!!!!!)

12. Im too lazy to tag anyone right now so yeah...

A Meaningful Poem We Should Consider

Ok lemme explain the situation now.

I was packing for my class chalet tmr when I started to feel lazy and the need for music caught me. So I went to my *ahem* not-really-that-trusty-but-still-trustable-enough desktop and got it out of its screen saver. Bored, I proceeded to look through someones blog and saw an interesting link. It said "Making Time for God". Curious, I clicked on it USING THE MOUSE AND NOT MY HAND and it was redirected to an article on the TJC website. It well talked about making time for God (duh) and I was well looking at it. Then when I scrolled down, I came across a very meaningful poem that I feel I should learn from and share with all of you.

Here it is:

I got up early one morning,
And rushed through the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
That I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered,
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me,
He said, "But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence,
I tried every key in the lock;
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning,
And paused before starting the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
That I had to take time to pray.

I feel that this poem reflects very well what happens to us every day be it school, work, toilet cleaning, laundry washing, banana peeling etc. And that it also shows us that all the time, try as we might, we just can't seem to make the day better and everything just keeps messing up. Why? Because we did not pick out time to pray. Yes throughout the whole 16 hours we spend awake we always can't seem to be able to just reserve a few minutes for prayer or Bible reading. Yet when we do pray, we expect that everything must go our way since we prayed to God. Thus this is one thing we all should keep in mind: Prayer is the most important aspect of our life and doing God's will is a task we must undertake and understand.

Ok I know I may sound like I'm suan-ing people and I'm sorry if my tone offends anyone but I really feel that this should be shared. Btw theolos coming! XD
