changes

you know how i'm looking forward to leaving partly also because i want a change?

i'm enjoying the change of being in acs.
i like my new circle of friends.

but now, even as i get so caught up with my ac friends, once in a while i realise that i've been left out of many of other changes that took place while i was out there somewhere with my friends.

one once-close friend has gotten in and out of a relationship before i knew it
another just told me he's also attached
and those were just two that i've taken note of.

it's a scary thought, how sometimes so much can change within such a short period that you feel..lost. to think that i'm not even in aussie yet.

19 more days. yeah.

culture

coming to ac from ah has been quick a big change.
not only distance wise, or the adjustment i have to make in my body clock, but the profile of people here now is also a big contrast.

quite a bulk of the guys are girlishly secretive, unlike in ah, where the guys are so open about things. i guess that's one thing i miss bout anglican high.

everyone speaks in this super english manner where every word is properly enunciated, not as colloquial.

the culture is just so different. not in a bad way though. i'm really proud of milk for what he's done in and thru fireAC. to God be the glory! i really gotta sleep now i feel really zonked out.

uniforms! classes!

floating around school figuring out what lesson follow which and where classes are held can be a little tiring, but it's been fun i guess.

yesterday i sat in the 5.8KINGS for a good10 min before realising that i was attending the wrong class after i'd finished giving out the notes. somehow a few seconds after i left i found myself opening the door to 5.8 again thinking it was my econs class. when i realised why everyone looked so strangely familiar i quickly shut the door.. which was followed by an embarrassing roar of laughter from the class.

ionly managed to attend 2 lessons yesterday cause i was lost and stuff, ended up in the sac with job. todayw as much better, i only missed my first TOK lesson. econs class was hilarious today. i grouped up with jerrold, this other guy and ziyang. we were supposed to connect different places on a map with either railway tracks or roads. we were only allowed to construct a limited length of road/rail. it was really funny how the 4 of us came up with all the quality crap to prove why we did or didn't do certain things.
why didn't we connect the village to the forest of timber trees?
because the people in the timber industry would be rich enough to build their own roads
why didn't we want to connect the old folks home to anything at all?
cause we wanted to promote family bonding!
and so why did we connect the hospital to the church?
i mean it'd be so disturbing to have someone die in church or sthg rite why even think of such a situation! and our answer to that: so that the people who die can be sent to the church for their funerals.

hahahaha super skewed, but it was so funny just now when we were discussing. drama was really boring today.. i didn't like it too much.. good thing yvonne sam and dj were there. firsbee tmr!!

FRESH START!

exactly one month from now i wouldn't be in Singapore anymore.
it's a rather exhilarating thought -- to start everything anew.
im mentally prepared to leave and start school somewhere else, but there's still so much to be done.

i feel as though God has already prepared the way and prepared me for the rest of the year. it's gonna be a good year. the way i picture 2008? im gonna be studying smart (and hard), playing a considerable amount (as compared to those studying in singapore, but probably not as much as those in aussie land), meeting up with the bedok methodist people and completely relying on the Big Boss.

as for now, i'm happy to be in AC, i like it here a lot, both the school and the people. from now till then, i'll be having fun in school, buying stuff i need, packing and meeting up with friends. RAHH!!



Galatians 5:19,20The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkedness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as i did before, that those who live like this wil not inherit the kingdom of God.
