Hermoso de cambio

Been the slackest thing ever on this planet the past few days. At home, stoning, sleeping, mac-ing. Rot to the max. It actually feels like I've rot too much.

Meeting up with rach, cy, boon was nice on saturday. Nandos! finally tried it ever since it came. mega long queue but was entertained by the catching up. Chit chating was good.. jokes... us. Bugis was quite mad crowded on a weekend.. we left at 7 and I went to meet my folks to meet my sister's future-in-laws. Dinner was .....tensed at first! I think cuz we both hvnt actually sat down for a dinner properly, the Lins n the Johns at the same table. But well.. all was cool and the stiffness melt down to a natural harmony.

I think sometimes I want things when I can't get them.

Accendo'10!!

Back from asoc camp 2010! freshmen orientation subcomm saigang ends today. Sunday - Today, slept on SR floor n burnt under chili padi sun. And chili padi burying really works in clearing the weather!

Camp was generally fun, meeting new people, doing new things, as a senior. So much nostalgia, going through the same things in a different angle. From a freshmen participant in 2009 to a committee backstage crew involved in the organising.. it was a special transition. And I really got a 360degrees view of how a camp is like. And it was tiring as a freshmen, being enthu etc.. but equally or doubly tiring being backstage.

The glamour in front needed soooo much hardwork, man power behind. And it's smth you will never quite appreciate until you're put in the spot. I rmb last year, i barely knew who e org comm was, nor rmb any game masters and definitely not any subcomm. One of the hardest thing is putting in so much effort and not being recognised. And I guess God wants to teach me the lesson of humility as well. Also, that He sees what im going through and is telling me the same story in a differnt context. Like in ministry, or when you're simply doing things for Godly purpose, sometimes, you would also not receive a single credit at all.. and nobody knows who you are or what you did. They rmb whos infront, the fun, but not the planning. Like a stage performance, the dancers put in work too, but its the crew that gave their all. But what you would rmb more is the dance and not how the props r made or how the stage is laid. What's the only difference in ministry work is God sees it.. and He's the most important audience which actually matters.

It was sweating hardwork, no sleep, no rest, getting pissed off n complains from annoying freshies who only wants to cheat in games, packing logs, rushing here n there, uncooperative facis, irritating people, irritable mood, lousy food, long hours of blazing sun on burning skin. Experience, experience. All sums up to a good experience though.

All in all, the people are quite nice. Hopefully there'll be more chances of such experience!

I feel like we're losing something. Losing how we used to really just talk about anything and I really don like the arguments that can jus make things not nice for days. Mayb we should talk about how we can not argue anymore.. maybe I should just delete this whole thing n pretend I'm ok. maybe I shld not let my eyes turn sour as I type this. maybe I jus miss my bestfriend.

Sun-kissed

Back from Bali for almost a week now! Enjoyed the sun, the glorious food and the service^^ and of cuz the company. Arriving at Bali was a pain... not the flight, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was actually quite good but the custom was a lonnnnggggg wait. queue could barely move and we waited for years to clear. A clubmed person picked us up along with other families in a small coach and made our way to the resort!

It was dark when we arrived but the officers still received us with smiles. hot towels n drinks for us while he briefed us abt the clubmed village. Got our sacred bracelet, which will gain us access to all club facilities n we head bck to our room! don even have to do check in ! all's done.

Ok room was alittle bit disappointing, quite small toilet but comfortable bed at least. No towels! Bad tv reception! Had to call to fix those but all's well.

Reception area

After settling down our stuff, we head out to explore the place! We went to grab a evening bite/supper at the Batuk Restaurant

And i ordered.. BURGER!

Bar was happening with sme party gg on, dance, music etc. got our cocktails n lie on the sunbed to enjoy our first evening there.

(all the clubmed events n parties to entertain guests allll nighhttt)

Bar area! where the party is

Sunbed and the pool view infront of us.

Friendly GO (guest officer) came to talk to us abit, was alil uncomfortable at the start by their 'friendliness' but you will get v used to it after four days there. OK tt's basically night 1.

Day 2: All ready to start the fun!

Woke up at 8am and went for breakfast! First proper meal at the place. (ok blogger don allow me to upload anymore pictures so check fb for more!)

Buffet style, sunny side ups, bacon etc. There were western, chinese, korean, jap, indonesian section of breakfast. but breakfast spread is definitely much lesser than lunch and much much lesser than dinner.

Went to the quiet pool to chill/swim for awhile. Quiet pool cuz u cant talk loud there. Not the main pool. hot jacuzzi! then head for tanning at e main pool after. And then it was low tide beach adventure and saw 10000 starfishes around! lost my shades!! =(

At night was performance by GOs at the theater and grabbed two cocktails again. lol.

Day 3: Sports day! Badminton, tennis n archery! We played the first two for like 15mins each cuz it was too tiring. archery was FUN! love it! Then we went to the beach area to tannnnn=)

After dinner we had moonlight tanning n picture taking. Watched the performance again, some sports demo by the Sports team GOs at the POOL.. such a small pool and they are do like everything there. lol. Good entertainment! Then sme brazilian dance show(by the GOs again..poor them) at the theater and fullmoon party at another venue. Went for star gazing session instead!

Day 4: Last nite! okk cant rmb wad we did. i rmb i did archery in e morning!

Day 5: LAST DAY! okk anws lunch was very entertaining cuz some GOs dressed in black n were disturbing the guests, acting like sme body guards. got pictures!

Sister did trapeze! COOL. i chickened out after one try.. cuz it was too scary.

Okkk lazy to blog alr. let pictures on fb do the talking. Oh anws, fright night dry run 2 was MUCH better than run 1. we at least got sme 'run thru' and testers for routes. And bidding is such a bitch.. three day week now, hopefully we get all our bids PLS. argh. Sh is back with goodies, met up to discuss bids, derek's ice cream treat soon! ok tt's abt all in vv short form.
