captain's ball under the scorching sun, futile attempt swimming towards the plot of land across the bridge, played 'monkey' in the sparkling water but at the same time choked by the high sodium content, a really dumb sandcastle competition in which the girls' emerged victorious with their cute turtle!, short 7-11 break, jellyfish discovery, a lost-and-found journey cycling and subway dinner. shueli, cheerup okay? whoever did it is really heartless or im sure lungless too! grr.we must catch musical fountain some other time yeah? last monday night'd been a really nice stayover at felicia's house.watched mr.house, an inspiring medical drama.all time favourite egg tarts!, card games which tell-it-all before dozing off, and updates of shocking, irritatable incidents neutralised by sweet happenings.old pal eh, i loved the fact that our houses are separated by just a bend in the road which is merely accessorised with 3 bus-stops.haha!{spiritual}today's sermon in church made me ponder a lot.it was a gentle reminder to give thanks IN ALL circumstances, and not just giving thanks FOR good circumstances.no doubt there will be bad circumstances we may have to face, but there is no condition in this world so miserable that we have nothing to thank God for.throughout whatever ordeal we may be through, He is in control, and He's in it with us.and He has a reason and purpose for us.ordeal is God's permissible will to strengthen our faith, to stand firm and to trust Him more.
i like this definition of gratitude.gratitude is a vaccine, for it prevents invasion of a disgruntled spirit and frustration.it is an antotoxin which prevents criticisms and grumblings.lastly, an antiseptic that heals and soothes a troubled spirit.isnt it nice and comforting? many a time we do not treasure the things around us until we lose them.and by then, it will be too late.and regrets will suffice.in the hussle of our daily lives, we are often so preoccupied that we do not even have the time to stop and give thanks for the simplest blessings in life - the air that we inhale, the beautiful nature amidst us, family, friends and the list goes on and on. its just a word of thank you, to God.anyway,training tomr at gym with coach and that can send some shivers.to be followed by stayover at tiffany's.im so looking forward to seeing you again (:some things are yet answered,and doubt will ever be.perhaps not now.
I MISS COUNCIL ): everything about it.went back dunman high yesterday night to spy on the juniors' council camp.haha.guess what, the school gate's locked and i had to climb over it, just like the old guides days.of course,the camp's filled with new faces (the 4th and 5th generations) except for a few who were with me last yr.best of all, its seeing my darling accomplices shihui, wailumn, dickson, the juniors close at heart lili, baojia and amelia and council teachers! memories of council days rewind itself again.its been so much a part of my life in dhs though its a short one year.all the preparations for sec1 orientation the whole of december, sports day cheerings and banner, PA duties every single morning, the graduation promenade, the chiangmai trip, doing nonsense for the sch, laughing away with laughter gang...and little did i realise almost one year have flown past,council has been cut off from my everyday and i am no longer fussing over such things in jc.but talking to the councillors yesterday as well as cheering those ever familiar cheers made me relive a little of that moment.council has been a short and sweet gift, though it hadnt been easy unwrapping it, eventually what's inside has made me the person i am today.the moment is but temporary, but memory is forever.often i remind myself, dont cry because its over, smile because it happened.but at times, i just cant help but miss it.
unfathomable reminiscence.
anyone who walked past our table would think that we've gone nuts.with all the silly poses.haha.and the rockers in a band (: its just sheer warmth being with you guys again (:{last wednesday}did my first ever studying this hols with yueqi,nicholas and lekchia at the esplanade library.getting back into the studying mood's rather torturous.haha.my mind doesnt seem to want to comprehend anything and my memory's still at a either pause or off mode,definitely far away from the play mode.in physics you call it inertia?haha.but i've got no choice i guess.better start revising now or regret later seems to be the threat.oh well.and we had a highly amusing subway dinner.pickles on just one side of the long foot? haha (:{last tuesday}op's finally over and its a HUGE RELIEF! chankeet,yuting and lekchia: thank you for being gorgeous pw teammates!wouldnt have made it through the whole year of pw alive without you guys with all the meetings and staying way late into the nights.building arts participation in singapore,haha,bet none of us would ever want to have anything to do with that, enough dosage.haha.so yep,the hols officially starts as pw marked its end.i realised updating a blog this way's kind of queer,cos time's moving backwards.but cant help it.im so lazy but to squeeze everything into one entry.haha.

church tomr, night (:someone waited,and walked an extra mile ,for a mystery yet resolved ,at a seemingly empty cinema,a peek at dessert yet tasted, wandering aimlessly ,a rare 7kg steak ,as the night set in, a walk amidst no crowds,sat on the steps,witnessed waves in the air ,and flashes of lightning ,aspirations? amusing microphone and chopper,a pleasant surprise,on the train back home ,not so sweet popcorn,sweet strawberry paradise ,back to reality thankyou(:
