lotsa happenings

hi! it's been a while since I blogged.. feel a bit strange now.. just visited a few friends' blogs and wow... their blogs are really populated! ha.. looks like daily updates!

Anyway I just thought maybe I should just note down some happenings in my life recently.. Maybe they'll be a good read for me a couple of years down the road :)

Just yesternight I was having a nice chat with pompom on the phone. Think we talked til like 2am. (ok la we started 12 plus nearly 1) Haven't talked on the phone in ages. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to pick up the phone, sometimes I wonder if my friends are free to pick up the call.. I think that's the problem. Sometimes I 'worry' too much. But friends aren't supposed to be like that. And so a few moments ago I just decided to sms pompom to see if she was free for dinner. Ha! and she was! So we're going out later. Eat what I'm not sure yet. She suggested crystal jade but I'm feeling a bit sick of that place... Ah well...

I'm on what juzeothergirl calls the 'missile' place now.. this year's kinda different cos our dear sup went to jie hun while the super a2 is now rowing boat.. so this year it's s1, 2 a1s, me and ernie! i'm glad for that though, that ernie is here with me.. she makes working there FUN! haha.. the a1s are a bit quiet.. so I'm just talking to ernie most of the time. but that's good enough la.. i'm only here for 2 wks anyway! seems like i'm the only one debooked for the 3rd week.. hmm i think i'll be pulled out of the missile engagement soon... like i think next yr i won't be in any more.. sighsigh! ah well.. they can't have too many snrs on a job anw!

which brings me to my next topic.. Well recently I heard news of 2 snrs leaving.. one confirmed and one not.. (apparently one retracted) Which at first made me feel like leaving too! ok let's call them Miss A and Miss B. So Miss A is confirmed leaving and Miss B is not la. Well, from Miss A I learnt that it makes plenty of sense to stay till at least S. Got more $$ mah! And she seems alot happier to be leaving now.. Not like last year she was still deliberating and wondering if it was the right thing to do. Well, Miss B's leaving was a big err.. 'blow' to me.. cos if she leaves, next yr I'll be doing that job with Ms Not-so-nice! I dun want! And that's why I thought I should be leaving too la.. But now that she's not, I can stay :)
Which is kinda silly la I know, to leave over one person. But sometimes just one week can be hell..

But now I'm determined (for now la) to learn as much as I can. There're still plenty of sections that I'm not exposed to yet.. From now til the end of the year, I can see a smooth path lying ahead. Lotsa blank slots! And my leave is approved! I'm going Sydney at the end of Nov. I hope it'll be fuN!

On a lighter note, I went for a Youth Camp last weekend. It started on Friday night, ended Sunday noon. My group wasn't v close initially, but after some time I could feel everyone was trying to make the effort to make it fun! There were like 6-7 guys in my group and more than half were uncles. Hahah.. either married or not so good looking.. Pretty sian diao initially though haha.. The girls were mostly FD i/cs. At first it was like quite clique-ish la. But later on it was a lot better. I guess 2 days is really quite short for bonding la.. But I made a couple new friends there! Hope to see them around soon.. before it starts to get weird to say hi.. :)

Oh and a question was brought up during one of the forums. I've heard the answer before, and I think I should reiterate it here lest I forget again! You know, sometimes wise words just float to the back of your head..

So the question was how to juggle time between activities. 2 pointers I noted: 1) Put in 100% in whatever you're doing. This way, you'll be able to fulfil what ever u need to do. 2) Prayer. I guess this is one path that most ppl neglect. At least I do. Well I guess if we pray hard enough to want to fulfil all our responsibilities, then we WILL be able to fulfil them. I guess I need to put in more effort baz.

That aside, I wanna say I saw a shuai ge during one of our prep meetings! Pleasant surprise.. But I wasn't holding much hopes of seeing him again at the camp.. Cos we've got like 20 groups! Nearly 400 ppl at the camp. How to meet? And indeed I din get to see him until it was the individual group presentation bit. That's not the point. Thing is, I was trying to tell myself to please forget it, stop behaving like a stupid teenage girl and stop letting my stupid thoughts run wild. And cos I haven't seen him since the prep meeting which was more than 1 wk before the camp, and concluding that I prob won't see him anymore, I did manage to put it aside, for a while. Cos on Sunday's lunch, his group was sitting at the bench in front of mine! Alamakz. So much for my efforts of trying to put this thing away. And it was hmm.. i dunno what to describe it.. But I was talking to some friends in my group and smiling/laughing away. And on his side it was the same thing la. And so I saw him, and I'm pretty sure he saw me, and like we were both wearing happy expressions on our faces. OK end of story.

Which honestly doesn't build up to anything much and I don't think we'll have a chance to meet again cos I'm from the East region and he's from West la. Sigh! (ok i think i like to amplify little things like this. my state of maturity is stagnant at JC!)

Anw Sandra was saying we should pray that our future partners be our partner in kosenrufu. Doesn't mean that he's gotta convert or what, as long as this person helps you advance in your faith and most importantly, makes you a better person. Yup and so I shall add this into my daily prayers. I think I need to be more hardworking and stop doing my slipshod 5 min prayers.

Jia you jia you jia you!
