The EAS room is the room where all the aunties and uncles that tidy up our school so thanklessly go to when they are having breaks. This time round, one of the aunties (I don’t know her name!) stopped me in my tracks while I delivered biscuits to them and started a conversation with me – in chinese. (yeeepers.) I told her about my university life and all – and that I was scared to grow up!

And she replied – “girl ah, xin xing (confidence) and ren nai (endurance)! Work is actually very simple – its the human relations that make it complicated. Just believe in yourself and endure with others – and you’ll be fine”

After that – talked to Rui Shan a little – then went to MEL’s house to eat yummy bee hoon and watch ELLEN! We totally just nuaed teh afternoon watching tv away – breaking at 4.30 pm to ride her grandma’s bicycle to katong shopping centre for BUBBLE TEA. =) Dinner was with Papa and Mama – PA STILL ONLY LETS ME DRIVE FROM hawker centre to home to hawkercentre to home.

why =(

Tuesday! Met up with Victoria – and spent the whole time just talking to her and catching up on each others lives. Just as we were sharing on how difficult it is to love everyone around us in the way Christ calls us to do so, the HOMILY for the evening mass totally answered that. =) Amazing timing! YFP at night was good – we learnt about the story of stuff:

Today was totally awesome lah. Except from the fact that I feel I need to spend more time with my Pa and Ma.

Anyhoos – I went to SICC for lunch with my GYLC mates – Joanna and John! (and his mother!) The two of them played golf before I arrived – so then we had lunch – talked about life, where we’re heading, how we’ve been…. And then John (who had his own car?!) drove us to Orchard. We went to Jo’s house to get her car and then headed to the BEACH! =) Where we plonked ourselves at Mana Mana.

oh my goodness gracious me.

It is totally like a resort. Especially since there were NO ONE. We were practically alone, facing the sea, listening to 91.3, and just tuning into each other’s lives and views on things.

TOTALLY NUA.It was really good – cos’ it was the perfect atmosphere to catch up with someone whom I’ve bonded over 2 intensive weeks of GYLC – and stayed in touch with for 2 years. =) And we’re so going London together!

Went for church thereafter – went Duane!! And Jason —> ended up talking for a good whole half an hour outside Father’s house. It’s so amazing how everyone’s linked in this huge family of God =)

Then I met Limin and Cheryl Yew at Raffles for DINNER! =) Just chatted and caught up over sandwich – listening to their NUS stories and their RAG experience. Its just so surreal. =) I’m so happy for you guys!
