A Thorn In My Side


It's never been proven, but it DOES seem like everytime we relive significant events in our past, even if just a small aspect of it, we subconsciously start reverting back to the person we were during that time.


Like this Tuesday. I had never been so irritated in four years, and I think only four people on the planet (and one in Heaven) would know what would get me so riled up.


And, God help me, it's getting to my head. I claim the promise right now, in Jesus' name.


"The past shall not bother you anymore." Amen.

The Worst Valentine's Day


I trudged through the doors of my room. Ayto, ever telepathic with his roomie, sensed the despondency in my stride immediately. However, in the manner of typical boys, he knew not how to phrase his concern in a masculine way. But he needn't have asked anyway. For I, ever telepathic with my roomie, sensed his intentions and provided the answer.


I had just, but not more than an hour before, had the most heart-rending breakup in history. The notice came suddenly, and there was no warning. No lawyer came pounding at my door to tell me of the intended divorce. She herself provided no hints that she was leaving. Even my most perceptive friends could not tell she was going to leave me that fateful dark night.


But she did. Without a word, she left my side.


My heart was torn by the event, knowing deep in my heart all the things I would miss about her. And in the clarity of sardonic thought and cruel vividness of memory that only comes with tragedy, I did without any difficulty call to mind all the things I would miss about her.


To think she would never again stay so close by my side.
To think she would never again slip her hand in mine when I least expected it.
To think she would never again buzz sweet nothings into my ear, when she was seemingly silent.
To think she would never again share in the laughter of our combined communion with our mutual friends.
To think she would never again playfully try to distract me from my work.
To think she would never again sing to me the loving lullabies, or the rock rhythms.
To think she would never again caress my hands as I was blissfully sleeping.
To think she would never again wake me up in the morning for school, waiting so patiently for me to prepare so we could go to school together.


But alas, all good things must come to an end, and I have lost a treasure. A gem. A diamond like no other. I mourn the loss of my beloved.


My handphone.

A Special Valentine's Day



"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered today here in this holy place in the presence of God to bear witness to this union of man and woman..."

Such was the beginning of the Valentine's Day surprise our dear Pastor Kong had planned for all the married couples in the church building. In line with his Valentine's period's sermon series on relationships, Pastor Kong got all the married couples to renew their marriage vows.

And so every married couple in the church at the time (which made up a freaking significant percentage of the whole church) re-exchanged their marriage vows in a ceremony that I'm sure was as wonderful as their initial wedding ceremony. They exchanged new rings (which were a rather expensive gift from the church), and the whole thing culminated in a 15-second kiss (Pastor's orders) that sent the rest of the hall into tumultuous applause. I'm sure Pastor Kong was having the time of his life up there on stage.

"For what God has joined together, let no man or woman separate."

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you! =)


1. I am currently designing the flowers I shall give out tomorrow for Valentine's Day.

2. I am helping 4 people with their computer problems right now. Since when did I become an IT consultant?

3. I am thinking about my novel's progress right now.

4. I summon Blue Eyes White Dragon, in attack position!!! (Hi, Surya!)

5. I still miss Orientation.

6. Later, during the Road Run, when I time the male staff runners, I'm going to pass the time by estimating the timing of all the teachers.

7. I love the Spacebar key.

8. I'm wondering if the flowers I send out tomorrow will be interpreted wrongly.

9. I love the scripts for the plays the drama club is doing this year.

10. I hope I get the part I want. If not, anything's fine, but my second-favoured spot will be Tech Support of the crew.

11. I HUNGER. ROAR.

12. I waved Hi to 15 of my OGMs and 4 of my fellow OGLs in the last 6 seconds.

13. I'm sane. I can just about hear your horrified disbelieving gasps.

14. I'm really scared of spiders.

15. Methinks my body is compensating for the lack of Root Beer by getting hooked on H Two O. And I don't mean water. The OG16 OGLs should know what I mean.

16. I'm hungry. Have I mentioned that?

17. I'm behind schedule for my novel. Which is worrying, because deadline is drawing closer.

18. Oh, and I'm starting to have doubts about how interesting my novel is gonna be.

19. I think Stephen King sucks.

20. If my hair suddenly turned completely white, I'd be absolutely ecstatic.

21. I'm not looking forward to the March hols. Because a study break like that cannot be called, under any circustance, a holiday.

22. I have realised that ever since the J1s came in, the library personnel have bought soundproof headsets.

23. I'm eagerly awaiting March 22 for the completely wrong reason.

24. I want to go back to the hostel. Go figure.

25. HUNGRY!

It Was Kinda Uncalled For


I'm sorry, guys. I really appreciate the compliments. Really. You guys made my day, and for that I am eternally grateful.


But seriously, how in the blazes does a:-

-Tan gotten from the sunburns I suffered during Orientation
-New hairstyle obtained from the fact that my hair was too long to put it up AND that the wind blew it all to the left
-Sudden 'Glowing' aura (which, by the way, is an adjective used most commonly for pregnant women by friends who have no idea what other adjective to use)


... contribute to a conclusion that I fell in love, or that someone fell in love with me? Besides, even if the latter was true, me not knowing about it, how would I know to look a bit better? Psychic powers?


Again, guys, not meant to be pessimistic or critical. I just find it interesting that that would be the conclusion you guys all jumped to.

It's Over



Akash tired out after Orientation



Ya Guang smiling at the camera before he also falls asleep from tiredness



OG13 proclaiming the greatness of Xcion to all who dare to ask



Half of OG16 after successfully finishing 'Toxic Ground'



OG16 trying earnestly to grab cups in 'Rush Hour'



Success is achieved when one utilizes all parts of his body effectively



Running around in circles in enthusiasm



Waiting impatiently for the next Mass Dance song


A relic of the past: Mr Tong's school handbook (1st Edition!!!)


ORIENTATION IS OVERRRRR!!! T_T T_T T_T


Now I suffer from post-Orientation blues, remembering:
- All the times we screamed "*insert thing here* BAIK!!!"
- All the times we cheered our hearts and souls out
- All the times we laughed at each other
- The Mass Dances, especially the surreal-ness of dancing the girl part of the couple dance
- Seeing weird messages at the Fountain of Wealth like "TJC-ians please don't forget to bring your thermometers tomorrow LOL!"
- Meeting my wonderful OGMs everyday!!!
- Helping to run the Orientation and contribute to its success
- Skipping lessons ;P

Sigh... But all good things must come to an end, and here I am now, waiting for the next thrill in life.
