too many things to do, too little time.
my body is not agreeing with me.
i thought i was ok alr, but
now, it seems the other way.
this, is
not good. bad timing...
(not that there is any good timing to fall sick or feel uncomfortable/terrible/whatever.. but just not
now.. when there's so many things to do...)
pray okay? thanks.
well just a few things la. haha.
1st. the period of one week when my family was overseas.. and i was "home alone"
thank God for friends and family. im indeed very blessed. when i thought i would be alone.. (esp. at night! and raining somemore!) God places these people around me (: really, i feel so loved. ha! there are times when i missed my parents alot (and like how i freaked out when i heard abt the japan earthquake news.. thank God my family and relatives were safe!) but i guess these people around me makes things better haha :D
2nd. TaoRong's & Xue'er's Wedding
since last year, she was telling me abt it.. and now, finally the day has come. i've no idea why, but im reallllllllllly happy for the 2 of them. i've never felt that happy for all the weddings that i've been to before (rly. no kidding). i guess cos xue'er is sort of like a sister to me? haha.
reached there in the morning and started to practice for the special item. in between we were taking photos here and there. haha. after the whole trial run ended, we went to have a group prayer and then soon, the pple started streaming in. did ushering and then the wedding commenced. the whole ceremony is rly sweet and nice. a few funny moments, tearful ones too (tears of joy & appreciation)..
Da Die and Da Ma were there also. i rly missed them so much (and the children at grace home too). chatted with them quite abit.. and at the end of the wedding, i had to go alr. so i told them that hopefully, i can go and visit them at grace home soon, if possible, end of this year.. but i think most likely it'll be next year after i graduate.. and they said "good, good. see you soon." (i also hope i get to see them soon... haha)
3rd. shanghai study trip
overall, i've learnt quite a fair bit during this trip. it's tiring too.. having to wake up early in the morning to visit companies and all that till at night. the food is alright la. but after eating the same stuff for consecutive 2 days (breakfast, lunch & dinner).. you would not be looking forward to the meals anymore for the next few days. haha. yet i must say, there are some meals that are quite nice. like when the meal that the managing director of 1 company treated us to. very good meal but tooooo much food. when we finished eating, we looked as if we have yet to start. haha! managed to visit a wide range of organisations. cosmetics company, plastic engineering company, pump manufacturing company, even the shanghai singapore international school. the kids are super cute!
there are a few places that we went to for sightseeing/visitation. e.g. the Bund (shanghai tan), Jin Mao Observatory Tower, museum, etc.. the traffic there is terrible. when you're crossing the road, it has the feeling of "either you make it or you don't" haha. the zebra crossing and traffic lights are for show only. the first few times when we cross the road, we're like super scared .. and screamed a little, but after that we got used to it alr. haha.
the weather there has been nice too. cooler than singapore, but not to the extend that you need a jacket. maybe only at night i guess.. only on the last day, the weather was hot. and then..i started to have sore throat. and predictably, when i reached back home in spore, haha. im down alr. the sore throat, and flu is here. what a nice timing.. just nice school reopened too. (see the pattern here? start sch = fall sick. as always. haha)
and now. back to sch already. the engine has started and the train is continuing on its "crazy" journey again.. and there's a mountain of assignments/presentations/projects in front of me, beckoning my attention when im trying to ignore it ha.ha. aiis. reality. reality..
been "home alone" for abt 3 days now. well.. also not exactly la since ive been staying over at other pple's hse since saturday night. tonight, i'm staying over at my grandma's hse.
i thought i'll be so lonely (especially during the night) during the whole week. who knows. it turned out to be the opposite. there are some pple who cares. knowing that im home alone, they'll ask me if i want to stayover at their hse, if i wanna follow them out, go to their hse for dinner, etc.. (: i feel super loved. God is so! goooodddd to me :D
so far, so loved. haha ((:
my one and only common test paper - MRSH, is over tdy. but there isn't any feeling of "yay, common test is over." maybe cos there are still many other things to do.. owell.
my parents, younger bro and sis went to japan tdy. im starting to miss them already. feels kind of weird to have so little people at home, just me and my kor. but not for long.. soon, on sunday - 8th June, my kor will be going to beijing. and then, i will really be
home alone.. )': but i guess i'll go over to my grandma hse to stay la.
in 10 more days, i'll be flying to shanghai. haha. cool right my family. one after another, we're flying here and there. i think within 1 mth, we've been to the airport for abt like so many times... 1st to send my sis to beijing, 2nd to fetch my sis and kor (he went to india), 3rd to send my parents and younger sibs to japan. the 4th time that i go to airport will be when i go to shanghai. and then when i come back on the 20th , it will be the 5th time. followed by the 6th time which is the next day when my kor come back from beijing. HAHAHAHA. crazy hor..
xue'er and taorong's wedding soon!! haha. so happy and excited for them :D
