I realised that I haven't blogged in a while. A lot of things have happened over the past few weeks, but I will never finish this entry if I type exactly what happened since 13 December. So I shall start from last Thursday. Met Ben Wang at Northpoint Swensen's for lunch! :) It was an enjoyable lunch!! :) Nice seeing him again. After that I went home to relax. The slack life I'm living is so enjoyable!
On Saturday, my RJ band batch had a Christmas party!! It was so fun! We went to Paul's condo at Duchess Road and it was sparsely furnished, so we all sat on the floor in the living room. Ok, there was no furniture at all in the house. There was no TV, CD player, DVD player or anything that Paul said that there would be in the house. So we were just sitting in one big circle eating pizza and chips and drinking coke. It was so nice because we were like one big happy family again. :) Darryl and Paul were hilarious with all their comments about indie music (which is independent music, not Indian music :)) and other things. Passing the parcel was so funny because of all the forfeits and Liu Rui and Osh were so sweet :) Thank you to my darlings - Pei Xuan, Paula, Hui Yan, Tse Min, Liu Rui, Hui Yun, Vicky, Paulee, Darryl, Mark Wang, Yun Yuan, Holas, Wei Fang, Jun Yan, Zhong Ye, Yee Kiat, Osh and Marlom.
Today Mom and I went out for almost the whole day. By the time we got back, we were half dead. Our feet were killing us and the bus and trains were so crowded. The trains were especially irritating because even though they were full, people outside were still forcing their way in. What a pain. -grumbles- But we went to so many places! It was really nice! and I managed to get the sweater from U2 that I have been eyeing for a long time. At first I thought it was sold out, but then I found it at PS!
I realised that I have been very frustrated about some things lately. Last night, I went for the Penitential Mass at church and I really felt a lot better after it was over. Confession really is quite uplifting :) Thank you, God, for Your grace. I felt like a burden was lifted from me, but then tonight, I felt a little sad all over again. One of the questions on the screen yesterday for quiet reflection was "Is there a promise to claim?" And upon thinking about it, there was a promise or an assurance that was given to me a while ago, and I'm still waiting for it. I hope that God will reveal something to me in time. Meanwhile, I think I'll just have to be strong, not to mention keep my big mouth shut.
Tomorrow, I'm going for some training. Kenneth's mom needs help at a roadshow coming up, so hopefully I'll be of some use! :) sell some computers and maybe, hopefully, I can work with her for a month or so before I go to Australia.
I think I need to do some reflections about the past year. It really went by so quickly.. and I really need to start packing. I'll be leaving in slightly over a month's time and I haven't even started thinking about what I should be bringing. BAHH. I should heed Shun Ling's advice and start packing early!! but what to pack, what to pack?!
I need to clear my mind..
