I Love Holidays!

Having the longest holidays of my life... 3 months of complete slacking, hanging around with friends and doing whatever I feel like doing... Haha... University life seems really cool, the guys more mature and humorous, the girls more fun-loving and open. The activities also require more independence, communication and "out-of-the box" thinking unlike my pre-uni school life.

I can't wait to choose my laptop at the matric fair, though I've nearly spent about 40% of the money my parents gave me for it already... Dunno how to ask them for more money... Sigh... Can't seem to stop myself from spending money for the least of reasons. Think it is time to reject offers of outings and chalets already... =P

Right now all I can think of is the planning to the Agape Youth's teaching calendar. Major headache that one. I've roughly done the scheduling, but I've got to pray really hard about what God really wants the youths to know. Sometimes I think we really need a revival. I know I do... I'm seriously dry and I'm too lazy to get the water I need... God please give me initiative and strengthened this heart of mine to do the things you want me to. You don't deserve a worker as lousy as I am, but I really want to contribute to the extention of your kingdom.

I need a revival. Please God, rain down on me.

Arts Camp 2006

I know it's a little late to post this, but right now is when I've the most amount of time and strength since the camp ended a week ago. Arts Camp 2006 was fun! I totally so not regret going for it... There was cheering, and games, and meeting new people who are just as cool as I am! (Okay, I know some of you like to think of yourself as cooler) No more PRC scholars who can't speak proper English, muggers who can't talk anything but studies, and especially all that Maths and Science jargon that for some weird reason I just don't seem to understand. It's time to enter a new era and major in something where the battleground is flat and everyone starts from the same level and altitude: the Beginning.

Anyway, Arts Camp was really great! I always thought that the 1986-1987 babies were a bunch of pampered pricks like my brother (Hahaha), but they're really cool people. The girls in my OG are fun-loving, always smiling and have no problems revealing their intimate side once in a while. The guys are garang (as usual), easy to interact with, and have the greatest capacity for humor. Our OGLs are fantastic people with different personalities and opinions that make for an extremely exciting group overall! Thanks guys for making this camp so memorable. I've never had so much fun and bonding in my life since my 1st 3 months in SAJC and my OCS days. I hope this is the beginning of an enriching and unforgettable friendship that will last! =)

During the camp, some poeple have asked why I've chosen to go Arts & Social Science instead of Science or Engineering since I was doing Science in JC. Some of the reasons have been listed above. But the main reason is this: I'm going to do something that I truly love and have passion for. It's worthless doing something that I may be good in (Science and Maths); There will be alot more fun and drive to study something that I have passion for (Psychology and Sociology). For those of you who have known me since my teenager days, I've always been fascinated with human relations, interactions and thought.

Yes, I know I'm not good with essays, but I'll learn. I've got 3-4 years to hone up those skills of mine.

Okay, still got Sociology Camp and Crusade Camp to go for. My NUS life is really starting out to be alot more fun and exciting than I've ever imagined!
