Totally awesome man.
For those who havent tried this awesome food-advert like food (read: oreo’s twist lick dunk), you take a tim tam stick, bite off the top and bottom part – dip it into milk, and slurp up all the milk through the stick. How to succeed? Make sure your tim tam stick is refrigerated first – and slurp really quick – it kinda disintegrates after a good 10 seconds. Totally cheap thrill but yes, =) do it!
Anyhoos – It was a pretty eventful week I must say. Started my weekend marathon from Thursday–> where I went on a major shopping haul with Abigail, just cos’ she spotted a 70% roxy sale! Ended up shopping everywhere else but there – managed to pick some good stuff for UK – and ALMOST bought red crocs! Thanks Abby for being such a great shopping buddy! Rmb what that Easter Egg Jibitx stands for okay!
Friday morning – had to go down to Changi to meet Noelle to check out the multi purpose hall for the management lunch we got to perform at. So I had the afternoon free! Decided to give myself a short nua-getaway by staying home and attempt to play the guitar, since I told Jensen I will play with him one day hahaha! I realise its becoming my pick-me-up of mid day!
Went to meet Duane at Hougang to walk to Nativity – it was so beautiful =) 


Met with Nat and Peter and went for Amplify Fridays! It was sucha moving experience cos’ the praise and worship session was really good. =) Learnt about Ministry gifts. I thank God for Duane, Nat and Peter – cos’ we shared on the long bus ride back to Bedok. I learnt so much! =)
His blessings are abundant I must say.
There I was at Bedok Mrt, 12 mn, being late for like 4 hours of the Warwick Freshies’ Stayover @ Claire’s – preparing to walk to Claire’s where worried Duane, Nat and Peter wondered how I was going ot get there – when Kun Peng (I hope I got your name right!) and Oliver came and fetched me from the station! I was so thankful =)
We spent the whole night paying bridge, other card games, eating donuts and talking till about 5 am. I woke up at 7.45 am to go to Changi Airport to send my mommy off to Jakarta. Though in my heart, I was really quite scared my super old organs would fail me and drag me into deep slumber.
That morning – happened to be the best morning walk I ever had in my life. I woke up to like sleeping people around me – left the house – and walked from Upper East Coast road to the 36 bus stop. I swear – I regretted not bring the camera. The sunlight was perfect – as it shone right through the trees I was walking next to. The air was particularly fresh and I burst into song (softly, lest people thought I was mad) as I was walking lah! I now understand why Abigail enjoys her walks home – cos’ nature and quietness of the walk allows for conversation time with God.
Met mommy at airport – just so I make sure I see her before she leaves – and ended up having breakfast with my dad. I was so thankful for that morning! Because it was really hard for me to just get family-alone-time. Shared with him my university prep – and YES! I got to drive from Changi Airport to Claire’s. So my morning was uber awesome. Topped with Bridge playing right after I returned to “home”, awesommmme. =)
We then made our way to the pre-departure briefing after rushing lunch at food republic. The fair was pretty okay- nothing much. Then I left with Claire and Yong Long – with time to spare, I decided to kill time with Yong Long since he wanted to “pamper” himself with a nice drink. Blessings never end! Had a great long conversation with him about the time before we leave for Warwick and all our thoughts about it. Totally fuelled my day ahead.
Then made my way down to Serangoon to meet fellow CAASers to finalise the script for our performance and film Xue Yang’s part of the video. 
The next day? – Met up with the CAASers at Changi Aiport to film all our parts. IT WAS SUPER FUNNY PLEASE. Cant wait for the video to come out and ahhhh! Laugh at it all over again 7 years from now, when we have dinner at some cool place in the airport (maybe crowne plazaa!) Noelle was the artist, Xue Yang’s the overacheiver, Francis’ the advernturer, Kenneth’s the runner guy and I was the nerd (hohohoho, it was the most fun to play la.)
___________________________________________________________________
I have so many things to say about every thing that happened. And its so sad – I can digest it and chew it and totally remember the moment!
All in all – its been such great week and all.
But the two smses that really touch my heart and make me stop and take a deep breath are:
From Dajie: We leaving for Aust next wkend. Hope can spend sometime with u before u leave for uk.
From Erjie: The car is at home. We can go for a spin later at 10?
(which never happened cos’ I came home too late. =( )
All this compounded by the fact that I havent got the courage to start on my WYD blog cos’ of the sheer amount of things I want to type – my only prayer is:
