Busy and exciting weekend!=) Then its serious mugging for a day before my Com 488's mid term exam on tuesday,2nd June!
slowly adjusting my biological clock to the 'back-to-school' routine.. its hard to wake up & stay awake for the 2hr lecture at 9am every tuesday!!
Anyway, tuesday's leaders meeting at JW church with Dr Niko was awesome! The presence was so strong & God spoke. Ministry.
Oh, and we got really good seats, 3rd row facing stage, directly behind pastors. =)
Wed after school, lunched with ari,eddie, mark, alson, jolyn at NP's makanplace.
During lecture, received an sms from a loved one that i really missed.. during break,saw some that i really missed.. after school, i think too much and was emo for the rest of the day..
till merrill talked to me. that last sentence really brought a smile to my face: )
Thanks clair, merrill :)
Oh, and i hurt my foot again, this time its the left ankle. sprained it.. dunno why i'm so accident-prone: ( Saddening eh..
then thursday, tong very tired so we didn't meet up, then rolland & kin wei offered to bring me to the sinseh at bukit batok.
But kin wei couldn't make it, so rolland brought me there after he book out. This time round, it hurt way more than the last time: (
although they praised me for being brave, not screaming & crying.. but i squeezed rolland's arms & the side of the bed super tight la !! haha.
Then we rushed down for training, i tried not to do too strenuous stuff.. and the auntie came down with our girls costumes already, and i think me,clair & stacey did a good job, designing it! :)
haha.
and cause julian ask me to help him coordinate with the auntie abt everything..
i kinda became friends with her, we chat abt quite alot of stuff at the training ground yst: ) haha.
Oh, and ter told me that his sec sch cluster girls commented that i look good in the costume, and one of them was si ying, from est cg! : ) haha. happy!: )
After training, as usual, vege dino(mike) sent me home.. the brothers offerred to take my bag for me etc.. and we went for supper at my home area, we had teochew porridge.
Cause they say its unhealthy for me to eat mac every night.
So nice of them!=)

I just have to put the fear behind & do my best, can already:)
When i cried last training, cause of the pressure, stress and felt incapable, rolland, clair,stacey's support, hugs, smses really moved me: )
Their comfort's really very assuring, and i see the importance of teamwork: )
After the preview, we ( stacey, jeslyn, rolland, brian, mike: vege dino) went to Cityhall, HK cafe to eat dinner tgt.
Then we went to Esplanade for an evening stroll.. Did 1 or 2 simple stunts on the grass patch & lie down & sang songs tgt.
We went to Merlion to star gaze, sit around & chit chat & camwhored : )
We talked about everything...cg,church,schools,relationships & even politics. LOL.
And vege dino( Mike) really like a big brother/Daddy, in a way.. he talked to me/advice about relationship issues..interpreted my actions/thoughts.. etc..
Dunno why, but for the past 2months, so many pple have been asking me about relationship stuff.. Most unexpected was shoot, who suddenly ask me why i'm not attached. lol.
Haha. its been long that i really had such an enjoyable time doing these simple things that i love doing:)

We 2 blessed xin lei with a very pretty gift to thank this wonderful, loving cell group leader for treating us soo well & made us feel so at home in New Life Church!=)
Tian tian jie!=) She is as sweet as her name! This zone supervisor was introduced to us by Pastor Abraham Ku.
She taught us bible study classes (2 lessons) and asked xin lei's cg to take care of us.
And during the zone meeting on thursday, it was worship time & we were all praying...she came towards me to pray for me.
It was such a powerful prayer of encouragement & reassurance, i was lost for words & tears just poured out. Tong laid hands on me & cried too.
After that, qun zhi (alex) prayed & prophesy over my life too. His main point was to encourage me to continue being me, do not be afraid, do not stop loving because of past hurts.
During the sunday svc, me & tong went down to the altar call for rising up as leaders someday & the pastors prayed for us.
Believe that its really true.. Tian tian jie said.." you didn't come to Taipei for nothing, God sent you here to New Life church to catch something.. for a revelation, for assurance of His love, for encouragement that you can & you should continue loving people & giving your life for them, without being weary...because God is your strength. He will give you wings, and you will soar higher & do even greater things someday, as a leader!"
Our long awaited bubble tea!=)
We were too engrossed in drinking it & the queue at the customs was rather long, so we were very late in boarding the plane back to Singapore!
The air stewardesses were packing up & going in already.. We ran faster than we would run for the last bus home! hahhaha.
Once the plane doors close, it took off already. & the ride home was quite a bad experience=( I cried cause the plane went up very high, too fast a speed. Thank god for tong tong who kept on hugging me and we prayed tgt:)
And there were like 4-5 turbulances throughout the 4.5hours journey back to singapore.
& mummy & daddy came to pick me up! so happy to see them after a week. miss them & thank God for daddys who will help to carry all my luggages! haha. =)

Oh, and Taipei has an NTU university too. Its the 2nd best. He's in that uni.
And alex is doing his masters degree in IS, so me and tong were commenting that all of them are so intellectual & smart! haha.
In the cabin of the Ferris Wheel. It was quite scary to be up so high.. but they 2 kept talking to me, so i kinda 'overcome' my fear of heights during that 15min ride. haha.
