ah, school. pretty much getting used to the rhythm of things. meeting at k'cove, missing the command for the anthem, figuring out where class venues are, chatting nonstop with licia.. coming up with code names haha. and my class has many many breaks (leading to extremely long days) and they are mostly spent chattering in the canteen. time wasted when all around ppl are busy doing tutorials ah oh well maybe just maybe this might be the only period that we can do such things.

currently feeling quite torn over some decision. been bugging me the whole week but then again i realise how insignificant it is. once again God's mercy dawned on me when i realised how extremely extremely blessed and privileged we are. having everything we need and all.. what more things we just want. a friend mentioned: we worry abt whether we have enough pe shirts for lessons while.. you can imagine what the children less fortunate would be worried abt. killing ourselves over getting straight As while others dont even get the chance to have an education. makes everything else feel so redundant huh.

spending years thinking and stressing over our future.. yea it is definitely important but somehow things are shaken into perspective when we maybe consider the bigger picture. also when we realise things are in God's hands and have been ordained, there isnt the need to fret too much. but then again.. ah well i'll pray God teaches me the right way to look at things. a kingdom perspective? Please help me to discover what it is really that im here for.

been over the past week trying to regain a steady walk with God, praying continuously, reading the word. seeking His face, waiting on God for some direction. oh i went for student venture, which is a christian fellowship in rj. they have worships two mornings a week, but now that we've had an explosive expansion we'll be splitting into prayer groups based on Acts. also starting an accountability group with fluffy. :) thats like, so so crucial actually.. people to check on you and be your keeper. esp in jc. was talking to jean and yeah how easy it is to fall. and harder to regain footing if there isnt support nearby. so anyway God i pray you'll constantly remind me. my ring pledge with kelly suddenly has new life and its a good reminder. :)

then theres also the pact with jean. thank you so much all you with whom i've made promises, which i hope i dont break. they really take on new meaning and its like a refreshing spray in my face.. which i appreciate. :)

aha thanks for bearing with my random ramblings. sincere ramblings, though. :) the first three weeks of the first three months. been rather fruitful i guess. the period of decision-making. which im honestly terrible at. im very fickle. so thank you too to those whom ive bombarded questions with and sought advice from. (:

my heart is always Yours

k'predorus, over.

ah pretty sad its over already. but it was fabulous while it lasted really! you can go check out the photos, but they're not very many.

lectures start this week, cant imagine how they'll be like. havent thought abt the studying aspect of things since the Os ended and now with all the fun last week provided studying seems really dreary. but anw, abt orientation. :)

ap-hr-oz-ee! haha my og was great. the first few ppl i met in rj. really, really nice people, enthusiastic, loud, spiced orientation up so much. guys, really hope we'll stick even as time goes by. dont let our k'cove grow cold and dusty k. it needs regular cleanings with our shorts and skirts. :)

orientation was all about making friends, being comfortable and adjusting to school culture. it was pretty amazing, rmb the night clement went for dinner with me and some of my og mates. there was a quick introduction and then the entire night thru clement and darren were chatting like they were old friends. :)

derrick and shafia my ogls are some of the craziest ppl ive seen arnd. :) you two are really superb and even though we didnt say much during reflections, know that you are like the stars of orientation ok. your crazy antics, casual mannerism and enthusiasm made us feel welcome la. heh kudos to you and all the best for this year yah. :)

haha one thing that was pretty weird was becoming fast friends with siew chi. :) she was our squash opponent the past 3 years, dao and all (both ways) but taa dah we're now like close and ahem have a bond. :D haha chichi it was soo funny freaking derrick out so many times. -hugg OH pls stop looking at girls.

to the indispensible rest of aphroze- sarah (rah-rah! you dance great) bryan stephanie (love our class yea?) :) chuan (sing and scream on, buddy!) :) ngiap (pls stop being so gay) daniel (we should come up w some car pool thing) nan qi qizhao (we have so many common friends haha) jia qing yinhui yue-yi (you're lamE) flubberzee jean janaki mui kee roger sergius vicki (you go girl!) darren (haha but i dont know why im laughing). :)

keep the outings, scandals, love, k'lam and k'floo circulation going.

our cohort this year is h-u-g-e. the thousand three hundred ppl and the equally large campus makes it less cosy and harder to meet people. ok thats an assumption so i hope that isnt the case. oh and a good thing is, my class is a mixed combi class so i'll actually get to meet more people, from the geog lectures. :) licia and i are very happy abt that. hmm but i hope that doesnt affect how close my class is. we currently have 5 guys and 18 girls, haha. want to come to love my class as i did 406. :)

every meeting with any friend this week has been orientation talk, heh. really interesting though amusing how this is so universal. :)

of course im not forgetting what i really want to do within these two years. please keep the prayers for me going k? like kelly said, God goes beyond our wildest dreams. its mind boggling how velda kelly and i ended up in the same sch when we were just SO sure we would be splitting three-way. anyhow this is divine, so we'll not overlook this foothold and go for it, yea!

my heart is Yours

im bushed. orientation tires you out, but it rocks! big time. :) cant wait to tell you all abt it. its like we're different ppl after this week. but hmm yea it literally is life changing, like you start to get used to what life will be like for at least the next two years. which is, i must say, extremely different from what it used to be.

its O night tomorrow night! wheeps. i predict i'll soon be singing the song my extremely talented elder brother wrote, to myself. child prodigy ah haha. its a pretty practical song, honestly. :) oh, go ahead and ask him what it is. but rmb, i didnt say anything. (:

must go search for retro clothing (again- rmb sec one?). ah nvm since the dances are groovy baby. :) and the company really spunks it up. i'll take many many photos!

my appetite has shocked me this week. like, i never onced finished my food. which is incredibly strange. maybe its cos ive been tired bleh. but still.. food?

oh please do be generous if you see ppl selling flags tmr. its for a good cause, the tsunami victims. alright? as shaf said, this orientation is meaningful cos we're contributing to those who need our help. :)

in SO6c, B48. (: but you wont believe how much the og was missed in that short one hr we were separated. ah dah. :)

cant wait to get my hands on the k'lam and.. tell my few fellow selffars whata joy they are. :)

thats the way uh huh uh huh i like it uh huh uh huh.

i promise i was very eager to update but urg, must make myself sleep early! and rah rah pratice de dance! yes everything to talk abt abt frm my won-won-wonderful og to civics group (christine sim!) and dah dah dah so much more.

ah, ah ok this is where it stops, and where i try quieten myself down :)

ap hr oz eee
