Dreaming of revelry.

Been wanting to leave this pokethepickles and change a domain since I always can't upload photos because it's so troublesome so my posts become extremely wordy! But I haven't made up my mind on where to go and what URL so just sticking with this for the time being!

Anyway, so much has happened since 2012 started which was spent with a lousy view of the fireworks totally disappointed :(
Sent my cousins and family off back to aussieland after their 1 month here! Sigh so much happened (good/bad) but I'm really so thankful they were here and made life so much more fun instead of being so mundane!

So, went off for Project Serve camp on the 3rd of Jan and I honestly was dreading to go for it that I packed in the morning (which hardly happens btw) but God really reminded me of the love i experienced 2 years ago and I'm glad to say I LOVED CAMP! Even if it meant having morning run, 'boot camp training' and travelling by foot from sembawang to woodlands/marsiling which left all of us with aching bodies! Had awesome bunk mates and I'm so thankful for having Elvira in the same bunk even though I was in a different ministry...
Got to meet my ministry people towards the end of the camp, who are a pretty darn awesome bunch of people!! It's so amazing to see how people from all walks of lives and different ages can 'click' so well together even though weeks ago we were nothing but strangers. I guess it's all because of one common passion that we have, which is to serve God and right now despite being 3 weeks into Project Serve, I am definitely not regretting this choice and I don't think I will, 'cause I am doing something that I LOVE and having people with the same interests makes it even more interesting! I guess these are the friendships that I'll probably hold on to if I could and if God willing.

By the way, I think I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms 'cause I haven't travelled for more than a year!! Sounding like a spoiled brat but I used to take being able to travel overseas for granted but now that the dec holidays are over there's hardly a chance to :( Miss taking all the photos which reminds me I have to get my lens fixed 'cause the auto-focus isn't working le sigh :( Hoping that my aunt will get invited to UK by some companies that usually do then I can tag along!! Fingers crossed! 

Ok gotta run off to bed, having my first CNY meal with the serve people and chen su lan kids later! :)

Every time I check my friend's page, the number of posts just gets lesser and lesser but I'm still glad to see posts!!! 

School's out, less than 20 days to THE exam and so much has happened in the past few months I'm just so thankful for every single thing
Very very glad to have my classmates with me for 2 years even though I only really got to know them inside out this year. Year 1 was really just nonsense and everything was such a blur and horrible memories (including almost retaining).
Thank goodness all of this is now the past and I really just wanna do well and get into a good uni :)

Oh and I have yet to mention, approx a month ago, we found puppies abandoned so we decided to adopt them!! Bandon and rusty have grown ever since and they have brought nothing except joy ^^ albeit being really mischievous and all...

Prelims were fine but I really expected much better and I guess it's really not my time to peak yet! Hahaha really reminds me of my sec school days where we constantly talked about peaking at the right time! I guess early admission is just not for me and I have to wait for the real deal when I get my results /:

I'm using pictures from my facebook to recall what I did....and I found out that I went to USS in June with M, G and K! Not my virgin trip there since I've been there countless times but really really brilliant time there and amazing weather = no rain but lots and lotsa sun!
F1 in September which was alright but crazy noise there and we saw Shakira!!
Then WESTLIFE in October!!! Probably my first and last time seeing them perform together since they're gonna break up next year! It's been too long for them I guess, robbing them of their personal time and everything!

Ok really can't wait for A's to end and hopefully I'll be able to travel like mad by then!!! I sound so deprived hahahaha
study hard people! the end is almost near :)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
