Elevate Youth Camp

Hello people! Exhausted yet rejuvenated, I'm back from youth camp. Only away from KL for 5 days but I find it hard to adjust myself back to the hassles of life. The deep blue sea, the starry night, shooting stars... how much I miss them =)

I had a different experience in this camp than in the past because I was one of the game committees this time. Planning and playing are two totally different stories, still, it was fun. Perhaps the other members (Alvin, my brother, Naomi, Arnold and John M.) absorbed all the stress, afterall, my attendance at the meeting was pretty bad. Anyway, I think all of us deserve a big hand for the good job done. Come on, don't be stingy, will you?

Beside the games, I enjoyed each and every session very much, though I fall asleep in one or two sessions. Evangelist Cart Butler is awesome! I was pretty worried I couldn't understand him at first because his Australian accent is very strong. Fortunately, everything turned out unexpectedly well. Pretty cool, huh?

Proudly present to you...

The Foos

The Champion

The SHANE

The Beta Bon Bon Bam

The Arthur

The SuperGarfield

Elevated!

I Itch All Over

Oh my, what the heck caused my allergy?

by all means, please stop itching...

Camp is just 1 DAY away!

I hate this!

It's TIme to Shake off My Languor

It was only two weeks away from my last semester but I felt like ages that I barely remembered what have I done within this short break. Yet, I have stepped into a new page of life. Sigh, time does fly, no?

Recalling the elusive memories of the past two weeks, thank goodness I still managed to do so, the first week was rather full with outings and activities; whereas the following week was submerged in the world of fiction.

Certainly there were things that prompted me to share about in between, but as always, laziness got the most of me. Haha... Never mind, here's a quick look of some of the near past events.

Dreams in November

I think I was a bit out of my mind for buying ticket worth RM 58 instead of the cheapest, but this alone is enough to prove how good they are, erm, at least to me. Anyway, I went with Ming Yee and Han Wen.

Different from their past performances, drums were of little concern during the first half. In fact, they started off with some sort of lion dance as well as fan dance, emanating a strong sense of Chinese tradition. It's not boring though, the girlish and awkward posture amused the crowd. But things changed a 180 degree half way through the end of the first half. Still no sight of drums, but several glasses filled at different water levels. Yeah, glass music. The tinkling sound was definitely soothing, accompanied by a child-like melody, it made everyone felt young again.

After the intermission, they resumed to their normal style. Abstract. Impressive. Heart thumping. The zenith of the performance was the blindfolded soloist playing a variety of percussion instruments. IT'S DAMN GOOD!

Of course the performance followed a story line that I couldn't put them into words and everyone has a different interpretation. So I might as well leave it to your imagination.

MoneyTree "Red Carpet" Party

Went together with Darren and Rou Shian. Nothing much to talk about this other than I found myself seriously lack of soft skill and general knowledge. Well, I might be a bit over worried but I'm going to graduate in no more than a year's time! Knowing that soft skill is of paramount importance in today's workplace, it means I have to start equipping myself if I wanted to survive in the future. Oh no....

Apart from all these, I brought my youngest sister to national library so as to dispel her boredom. Or maybe to stop her from disturbing me, lolx...

Other than that,

1) surprised Tambi for his 21st birthday with Chia Yi, Yong Jian, Feng Ling, Hao Jia and Maggie. Steamboat again.

2) yamcha with Xing Yean, Jun Ming and Zhen Tai some days later.

3) watched 2012 with Toby

4) watched Mulan with my family

Well, apparently I'm too lazy to continue writing xD.

Anyway, I will be off to Youth Camp next week, which means I'm going to skip class. Who cares about assignment, huh? Well, I do. Sigh, better start doing them now...

And so, emo knocks on my door

Staring at the monitor, I could hardly think of anything to write despite there is a strong desire to write something.

Is this called emo?

Or it is just the galactic effect that claims to bring the world to annihilation in 2 years time?

November

ACHEW!...

Well, I know it is ... AHCHEW! ... very dusty here...

If you're wondering what have been keeping me for being so busy, blame exams. Haha...

Anyway, before I go into the main point, just allow me to say this:

EXAM IS OVER AND I'M FREE!!!

Wonder if you notice this, early in a year denotes a new start, when we meet new friends, expecting something new with great enthusiasm and even the sun is hotter, as if he feels our happiness too? But when it comes to November and December, leaves falling in profusion, gloomy dark clouds covering the sky, drizzling all day long, and everyone is about to bid farewell. Is the world programmed such a way that everything has a season?

Forgive my sentimentality (nice word to substitute emo isn't?), but when I read my friends' blog writing on their feelings toward graduation, reviewing their last year in secondary school and etc, I can't help but to let my mind wander back through the time tunnel. What further magnified this are old photos uploaded on Facebook, thanks to technology advancement huh?

Reminiscing all these days, I couldn't tell what exactly my feelings are, but I do smile as I flip through one by one. People that I've met, the ups and downs of my own, things that I've done... And I began to ask myself, had it never happened that way, what would I be today?

How good it is to have memories, if one day I lost all my memories, ouch... I don't even dare to imagine this. Anyway, all good things must come to an end, what makes the difference is either you treasure what you have or you take them for granted and regret later.

With this, here I am to say happy birthday to my mom. For whatever reasons, I find it hard to say happy birthday to her in person. Maybe I'm just too lousy in expressing myself, maybe I'm just too shy... Happy Birthday, mom =)

p.s. Oh ya, I found this accidently, 6sAi's class blog, ohno, I miss my ex-classmates =(

Lay Back

So, finally I got a chance to slow down my pace, take a deep breath and lay back for a short while. Phew...

Lot of things happened in the past few weeks, but due to the heavy workload that I had, I killed my enthusiasm to blog about them, telling myself 'hey, mind your priority, don't get distracted.'

Guess what? When it comes to free time like now, my intention to blog about them has reduced to the minimum. In layman terms, I lost the mood. This is no good eh?

Anyway, will selectively blog about some in the near future. Couldn't tell you how soon it will be because final exam is coming in two weeks time! Oh no...

C'est la vie

Walking down the journey of life, once again, another crossroad laid in front of me. With no clear directory, I was torn between the two.


Squinting hard at the left, I saw no end.
Turning to the other side, the end shrouded in a mist.

"Which path should I take?"

I hesitated, evaluated and finally made my move.

Never know where the road eventually lead me to, never know what is coming next, but I know for sure this is my decision, of which I feel comfortable with and I shall never regret.

Although there are thorn bushes, I shall overcome it with patience and joy.

A gentle answer quiets anger, but a harsh one stirs it up

Proverbs 15:1

I will cling on this as I walk along. Point out my mistakes and correct me, for I'm only a human being.

Quando Quando Quando

Lolx...

When I read my last comment only I found I was not making things clear. Hmm, perhaps I shall draw a line here.

I'm over her.

In fact, there is someone else dwelling in my heart and she is

Opps, did I just blurt out her name? Silly me, I shouldn't.. Well, just keep it low profile okay? You don't want to see me blush like a tomato right? So don't ask.


Having said that, doesn't mean I'm going to shut her out of my life.
I will still greet her on any occasion, say King's birthday, New Year, bla bla bla...
I will still heave wistful sigh reminiscing the good old days.
I will still do whatever I used to do, the only difference is with another frame of mind.

So, don't give me that I-can't-stand-you kind of expressions anymore. =)

And as for my lovely Juliet, tell me quando quando quando...
