eventful...
last fri was indeed an eventful day.
matriculated in the morning at smu. they had many stations. one involved taking a pic and making an electronic card. quite cool. but i look super ugly in it.. oh. and i ordered a laptop on impulse. the salesman was too good. i decided i could cancel my order anw if i see better deals, after i've looked around and seen wat the market prices for laptops are nowadays. not my expertise tho. n i signed up for alot of things too. like 2 orientation camps. 5 ccas. and 2 cip projects. of which one was helping out at ndp. which means i might not b able to go to church for a few wks consecutively. hmmm. kinda sucks tt rehearsals are on sat.. but anw i think this cip is gg to be fun. different. 'because smu is a different kind of university' =)
eh wait. why am i doing publicity for them. heh. sch pride jus naturally sets in. whichever sch.
PLUS did i mention that the people there are very very very friendly? no airs. at all.
anw after the 3 hr long matriculation, i went to orchard with serene and rebec. met jiaying at orchard, what a pleasant surprise. so in the end we all had lunch together at coffee club. din noe they had such nice main courses. i love the garlic prawn pasta. mamamia!!! mmmm... and the muddy mud pie is really really great too!!! beats nydc's. for one, it is 2 times the height of nydc's mudpies =) after lunch, we rushed like mad to catch 'war of the worlds'. i had v high expectations for the show, probably cos of the great publicity it had. hence i was disappointed. i mean its good, but not THAT good. the book's probably much better, as critiques have commented.
and after that, i met up with the rest of standtall for dinner before fever05. i really had a fever gg on after fever05 =) metaphorically i mean. can occ adopt a village in east timor? can we can we? i wished all the youth of gj had gone tho. its hard to spread the fever when everyone else is not infected with the bug. but i still rmb the night, clear in my mind. the majesty of God as the stage is litted up with singing and dancing. the victory in Christ as the banners and flags are lifted and waved. the unanimous raising of hands to the Lord. the joining of hands as a body of Christ as we broke our hearts (and lightsticks) b4 the Lord, and litted up the darkness with the multicoloured lightsticks. may we be the light of the world, shining for Jesus. what perfect symbolization. WOW.
i'm still trying to find a picture of the event. to recapture the moment. it will go here when i've found it.
it all ended too soon, but after that i still had 'eventful' moments to come. after walking to the mrt, i realised that my wallet was missing! rushed back to the expo hall to look for it. heng...it was right where we seated. felt very chuan3 after all that running.. but i was also v touched by the concern of all the other standtallites who actually ran all the way back to help me find it, so tt not a minute is wasted. u guys are really really really (times infinity) great. thanks soooo much. -smiles-
