How's everyone been ? My apologies for not blogging for so long cos I've been busy and I guess lazy as well ? Hehehe but don't worry, I have a lot of time now so I shall try my best to blog more often ! Decided to blog today because I'm transferring photos onto the laptop and it's boring to just stare and wait so I've decided to update my blog ! And this is gonna be quite a long one ? Will be an update about what has happened in my life ever since the last blog post all the way till now. Will try to recall as much as possible. ( using my instagram to recall and write hehehe )
So my last blog post was in May, so let's talk about June ! Starting off with Yiroon's birthday. On that day which was 13 June, a day before his actual birthday, we went to have Seoul Garden at downtown east with his friends and I remember he was so surprised when he opened his present. He was shocked because he never thought that I would get him a Man U jersey for his birthday. Should've recorded his reaction though. Hahaha hope he still wears the jersey :3
Then on 14 June, went to Malaysia for CAMP KADASH ! Had lots of fun with all the cheers and hyped up craziness every single day. Though my group was quiet cal-m and quiet ( not used to it cos I'm quite a crazy person ), I still enjoyed myself a lot. Still remembered the worship and it was soooo good. Faction war was super fun as well ! Enjoyed running like crazy to throw water bombs at others. Hahaha also remembered that there was one night, everyone would dispatch to their own cells and we would have cup noodles for supper tgt. The hot water wasn't working so Dillon, Angela I ran up to our own rooms to bring down our kettles to boil some water. We shared with other cells as well
hehehe. Overall, the camp was fun and I learnt a lot as well !
Still remember going to ECP with Yiroon to rollerblade and cycle ! Had so much fun though half the time it was raining and we had to just sit under the shelter. Went to have dinner at Jumbo after that and ate so much. The crab was soooo good though. LOVE IT. After we ate, we said hi to his grandfather and realised that it was raining so we had to wear raincoats and walk in the rain alllll the way to the bus stop which was pretty far. It was quite romantic to me though, walking in the rain hand in hand with the one you love. Had to run to the bus stop and his slippers broke. Still it was a great time spent (:
Cool or not
Candid :P
Then came 19 September, my birthday. Yiroon surprised me with an acoustic guitar that I've always wanted and I'm really thankful for that. Went to eat at Seoul Garden with the clique, Angela and Noreen then headed to open plaza where they then again surprised me with a cake ! Took some pictures and headed to watch my first ever NC16 movie with Yiroon (:
Group photo ! (:
Then, comes prom. Should've bought a nicer dress though cos the dress I wore was like too plain and too simple ? Hahaha my heels were killing me though cos it was so high and my feet was hurting like mad. I should've done something to my hair though and also like more obvious with the makeup ? haha but oh wells it's over and I really had a lot of fun with the girls that night ^^
The Clique ^^
Yay group photo !!!
So it was a Sunday and I had been planning this surprise for quite long alr ? Initially the surprise was to buy adventure cove tickets then tell him that we're gonna go for a swim at tampines swimming complex but before that we would go to vivo since there's a big sale there. But upon reaching vivo, I would tell him that I've a surprise for him and blindfold him all the way to adventure cove where his friends would be there as well and we would have a fun day enjoying the rides and all. But in the end, cos at the time I didn't have money to buy the tics for both of us, I just settled for the sentosa plan. It still worked out and it was my first time in a bikini ! Not very confident of my body so at first I was quite reluctant to remove my top but still did in the end la (: just have to get used to it and it'll be fine ! However, it rained while we were enjoying ourselves and we had to find shelter. Then we had dinner at jpot at vivo city before going to slack at the top of vivo. Some things happened which made me really upset because I felt like whatever I did to surprise him was not was not appreciated but ah oh wells, that incident is over so shall just let it pass.
Candid lor
One of my fav photo of us (:
Michelle was scared :3
Next up is Illumi run ! Went for the run with French, Chuyao, Jam, Chunming and Yiroon. First ever illumi run and it was with the one that I loved. Really had a lot of fun although the illumi paint was kinda disgusting. We didn't really run though, we just walked and see other people's lightstick (?) get snatched by the people that were approaching in the opposite direction. At the end of the run, my hair was like EW and my shoes and socks were like so stained from the paint. The paseo wipes did help a lot in the cleaning up although when I reached home, I had a super tough time getting the paint out of my hair. The trip on the way back was super upsetting for me cos of some stuff which made me feel like I wasn't pretty enough and wasn't good enough. But then again, that incident has passed so I shall let it float awayyyyyy ~
'Come let's take a photo !'
Started working at Jcafe on the 20th. It was exciting and the people there are super nice though ! The fun part is getting to work with Yiroon and Hamsley since one was my boyfriend at that point of time and the other is a friend that I know. The job is quite tiring though because we had to be on our feet for like a whole 10 hours or so and when there are a lot of customers, it's quite hard to get things going fast. Customers there are usually golfers so they are quite cocky ? Some are rather impatient but some are quite nice too ! Always afraid that there would be CAT 1 cos that's when all the golfers start coming in to eat since they are unable to play golf cos of the weather. Still, I think it was quite enjoyable cos the people there are generally nice and helpful unlike those that I met while I was working in Jpot. Yuheng is one of the nicest colleagues that I've met, she's always so helpful and always smiling. She's like an older sister to me. The aunty in the kitchen is also very nice, always so willing to talk to me when there's no customers. It's also quite funny how most of us don't like Dong Xia hahahaha cos she always call people to do things when she can do it herself and she's always finding time to be lazy and always giving a shitload of excuses. Well, I'm not working there anymore though. Stopped on the 15th of December.
Yay last day hehehehehe
So, here comes the bad part, on the 17th of December, at night, we broke up. I was honestly shocked when he asked for the break up cos I never expected that. To be very honest, I have never thought of a break up. No matter how tough things may get, I would still try my best to work every single shit out and make the relationship work. Because what's a relationship without quarrels right ? There will be fights and lots of shit stuff in the relationship that will make one feel like giving up and all but what kept me going was remembering the good times and also holding on because I still love him. However, for him, it was a different case. People ask, isn't there a chance that you guys might get back tgt ? Well, I guess not ? At that point of time, I did ask if we can get back tgt or if there's any other way out but he was insistent on the break so what else can I do ? I didn't want to beg any further.
On the 18th, I left for Muar for a mission trip, I woke up in the morning feeling like shit because of what happened the night before. Everything seemed so different. I did think of just not going for the mission trip but I told myself 'I can't let this affect me. Or at least, hide everything inside until it's okay to let it all out. I can't let this affect what's God going o do through me. Just fake a smile and go for it.' So that was what I did. Until we boarded the bus and I couldn't hold it on any longer. I started crying and they asked me what happened. As I told them, I cried even harder. The pain I felt was so real I just couldn't take it anymore. Caleb, the trip's leader, realised something was wrong and he asked me as well. Sigh, it was so painful. After awhile, I just told myself to not cry anymore, I need to be strong for at least this 4 days. The first day of the trip was quite okay, nothing much. Gave out flyers to invite people for the church services. I was shocked by how the people there were so friendly and so open to stuff like this. In Singapore, people would just reject you straight up. They wouldn't even want to listen to whatever you have to say. However people in Muar were really open and I'm thankful for that. The second day was fun ! I was in charge of the children's group together with Faith. A problem occurred though, cos we were supposed to talk about The Prodigal Son first but we found out that the message wasn't translated into chinese yet so we had to talk about Jonah and the big whale first. I guess it was a blessing in disguise ? Because after we shared that story, it was lunch time and when the children came back from lunch, they were abit restless. So we got them to do the crafts first before proceeding with The Prodigal Son bible message. The kids were quite tired at that point of time so they were like restless and didn't really catch the story but it's okay, I guess the story of Jonah and the big whale would be what I really hope they would know of because that's the typical bible story for kids. I really didn't expect the kids to remember any of the stories that I've shared because well kids being kids would normally forget what they've heard after awhile however I was shocked. During the debrief at night, I found out that when the pastor were sending the kids home, they were talking excitedly about the stories that I've shared and they remembered every single detail. I was so happy and yes, all glory goes to God for giving me the energy and the creativity to come up with actions for the story so that the kids would understand better. On the third day, we went to the old folks home. Talked to the elderly people there and we sang for them as well ! I still remember that there was this uncle who was on a wheelchair and he was playing music out loud from his radio. He was so cheerful. He lost a limb and he still could be so happy. That's one thing I really admire about him. He's living his life so happily and with such joy even though he can't walk. There's also this old aunty who was 90 plus years old and she was smiling the whole time ! She was like super happy and super joyful. She even 'danced' while we were singing songs for them. I also got the opportunity to pray for this old uncle who injured his arm from a fall. Though I was nervous because I didn't know how to pray in chinese, I still did and I hope my simple prayer for him did help ! Layyeng, Laymei and I also went to sing a song for this uncle who was alone in a room. He was tearing and he sincerely thanked us after we finished. His tears actually make me felt so touched because I knew that he genuinely was thankful for whatever we've done at that place. After visiting the old folks home, we went for lunch and then back to the hotel. We had time to dye our hair before our next activity so Matthew and I went to dye our hair. I was super happy with the service because the hairstylist did not just stop at dying my hair, he even curled it for me as well ! Plus the colour turned out to be super bright which was what I wanted so I was super happy with it ! Then went to Emmanuel church where we had to hold a kids service for the children there. I was leading worship together with Matthew. A little nervous at the start but I was glad that everything went well. Though the kids there were super playful and naughty, we still had a fun time holding a service for them. On that night, we played bluff until super late and we laughed so much until our stomachs hurt. And damn, faith and I woke up late the next day so oops hehehe. Anyways, on the last day, we had to facilitate half of the service for the congregation of Parit Jawa Church. Again, I was leading worship with Matthew. It was quite nerve-wrecking cos I had to tell the people to flip to the different pages of the different books, And plus, I had to speak in chinese. However, God really did help and we did a great job. All glory to Him ! At last, it was time to leave and I was quite sad because I had so much fun in Muar especially with the kids and I really don't want to leave the simple lifestyle in Muar. We said our goodbyes and boarded the bus back to the hotel to take our bags to leave for customs. I promise that I will go back next year if I can.
