Back from Church camp!!!
Had to rush down after work on Friday (cabbed up to 4 times that day).
Had dinner with BASIC, and felt like an alien, cause i've been away from church stuff for quite awhile as i was unable to face up to something. Hoping now that i will find the answer to myself at this retreat.
After dinner we had ice breaking games. Hmm...in PAIRS. BASIC only has 3 guys including me. However Aaron was unable to attend. Thus leaving Brandon and i only. Like gay sia we partner each other. Luckily Lynn and Benedicta partnered each other. Not so bad. Got gay and les pair. HAHA!!!
Ended up doing forfeit coz we didnt do the couple actions. So whole BASIC decided to do forefeit tgt. Had to do more stupid actions infront of the other Youth Communities. Super paiseh.
Then we were split up into PAIRS again. Lucky kena girl some others kena guy. WHY lucky? Cause we had to COUPLE WALK around the church in the middle of the night and get to know each other better through the park too, and pray for one another. Quite an experience actually, coz u get to open up secrets to one another without fear of anything. Sooooo i had to partner this girl called Audrey who was in sec4 LOLS.
Throughout the camp there were alot of P&W sessions and self reflecting. P&W was damn cool man! Gained back the lost feeling i had of Christ since sec3. One word? ENRICHING.
Slept that day in the hall. Girls on left, guys on right.
Slept on mattresses WITHOUT any sleeping bag. Shivered the whole night, and kept waking up too. =P
Second day of retreat~
Had morning mass. The bread of Life was dipped into wine, the blood of Christ of us. *thumbs up*
Played games and stuff too. Had reflections, P&W and sharing sessions in our groups. Got to know new people as well, and that we are never alone.
The evening part was the most touching part.
There was this session where we have the 4 stations (Taken, Blessed, Broken and Chosen, i think should be these 4).
And behind us were all the facils in pairs for the praying over one by one for us.
Confession was in the room beside.
All these were not forced on us to do. But i felt i was really burdened by all the things that were happening to me during the past few months and years and still couldn't forgive myself for that incident over 4 years back.
Went to the station of Broken. Embraced my sorrows on the rock and prayed. And for some reason i started to tear. I could feel that God was with me, after i'd strayed away from him for so long. As i looked around i saw some other youths already breaking down in tears. After embracing my sorrows into the rock i placed it back into the tank of water.
And due that next week was the holy week, I went for confession in the next room. As i was queuing up my heart felt very heavy. Than words came up into my mind saying, "Ask Father about that burden."
When it came to my turn for confession, after confessing my sins, i decided to finally pluck some courage to ask Father on how i could lift this burden of guilt of my shoulders, in which after that i really felt the joy that i've missed after these 4 years of life. Praise the Lord!!!!!!
Played games on 3rd day.
By which everything ended in the late afternoon. Had lunch with BASIC too. Hope to know the members better and that i'll feel acknowledged soon too.
By now i was already losing my voice through all the singing and was also spritually drained. LOL.
Finally found the answer that i was searching for. And prayed for all my friends too. And im very sure God heard my prayers as he is always with me.
=)
Oh yes, and i bathed in the toilet that could not be locked. So i had to drag a chair in to jam the door shut.

Don't really have much time to blog lately though im actually quite free during work. Usually.
Hmm...i got caught for reading manga last friday during work.
Jed (sup): *stares at com screen while standing behind me*
me: *smiles* hehe
Jed: still laugh...
me: *thinking, its the end die liao. kena caught.*
Jed: i ytd read already you so slow ah?
me: O.O *curse and swear in my head* oh~~~ u read one ah?
Jed: Of course! that ichigo gg already la. Naruto i also read already. *smiles*
CUA SAI CAN!!!
Let me see...oh yea there was another incident.
me: *playing games on facebook*
engineer (some guy tall and skinny, i forgot his name): *walks into room* WAH! You all playing game! *fierce look*
me: ho seh liao. *trying to minimize screen*
engineer: you all GOOD!
me: *OMG*
engineer: NEVER GIVE ME LINK!!!
CUA SAI TWICE. kns. LOL. But when i think back. Hilarious.
Been downloading movies and reading alot lately. SHIOK!~
And i've also been thinking about being an EXCO in MI Club. Well, at one point of time i really wanted to quit in the beginning, but i promised preet that a few others and myself would stay on for her sake during the planning stage for the Design Event. In which we did.
After which, i still continued to stay on coz well...i felt a sense of belonging there, to be with the rest. Not to mention im the only active Exco from path 2 in MI Club.
Due to attachment i was unable to go for the OGL camp. Which im damn disappointed for not going. But really had no choice. Lost the chance for me not to have ANY juniors for the second time. Wanted to go back to help out to you know maybe vet stuff like what the previous seniors did like Hong Qing.
Nevertheless, i wasn't updated about anything. Don't really blame the rest, but yeah. It just feels like shit coz you wana help, but yet you can'. And that you wana have fun with them but you also can't do anything about it.
And even if i DID go back. What difference would it make?
If i go back and if i happen to reject some junior's work. Who am i to reject? I didn't get to train them. And it'll be like what happened to my Finale crew and Hong Qing that time, where we got pissed for him rejecting our work and saying us when he wasn't even the one who trained us nor went for the camp?!
Same thing applies.
Was pondering over the fact that if i DO stay on as an Exco, what difference would it make?
I can't find a reason to answer this yet. At one point i was kinda pissed coz i kept seeing plurks all related to planning stage, ogl camp, plan this plan that, and now what...planning for FMO. Talk about demoralizing. To the point i dun even care already.
Least i finally understood how preet felt when she WAS an Exco back then. Where there were no updates...yea you were alone. We don't blame the rest but...we just feel this way. Oh well...
Enough about that. Sad times to be pushed aside!
Going for church camp this Friday to Sunday! WOOTS!!!
Going for the J.P.Morgan's 5.6km run, Big Boss sponsored us $50 for this. Will be getting free goodie bag and stuff HEHE.
Ok~~~ I've blogged enough to kill those eyes of yours if you're reading this.
ADIOS~~~

Headed down to Mediacorp, to install 5 new servers. Installed 4 in the East Wing Datacenter of Mediacorp, and 1 in Mediacorp Pressholdings. Mounted the 5 servers and then installed the OS into it with my colleague, Gobi.
Got a chance to go to Mediacorp for the first time and learnt new stuffs about servers. I feel lucky to be attached to this company i-Net Solutions Pte Ltd, as I got the chance to get out of the office and have a real life experience on what and how the company does their work out in the working field. Other friends had to stay inside office to do work hahas. Though the job is physically demanding, and that the server itself isn’t light, I find the work here enjoyable and interesting at the same time, even though I have no NYP friends here.
It’s been a memorable experience for me here....SO FAR that is.
After walking the whole day my feet i think gona break off in that BATA (Buy And Throw Away) shoe. So dad decided to get me a new pair from Hush Puppies!!! Feet felt happier.
