Whoah… Its been like AGES since I last updated my blog…

So I’m now sec four, everything’s so fun and all… It’s my last year in SJI, and I plan to treasure it to the fullest possible sense =P

So let’s start where I last left off; after the confi party in mid Nov last year… Yah, Wow, I know. So, yeah, I had a wedding that I originally couldn’t go for, cuz I was supposed to go for Beijing trip… But now that I could go, I had to sing for the wedding mass, and it was the responsorial psalm some more, so I had to solo in front of all the ppl who were all staring at me… But it was a familiar song, a nice song, so I was comfortable enough… Thankfully, the pianist didn’t throw me off by singing harmony in his own mike, though he nearly did… But other than that, the dinner was great, especially the drinking part =P (their red wine was quite cheap though)…

So THE CLUB formed at LLTC ‘B’ last year had a chalet, where they got together to celebrate all birthdays in Dec/Nov… And it was quite fun, SPS got to see how SJI guys really were… All the more cha kway teow-ing and teh tarik-ing… But yeah, I got a nice necklace that I still wear (though I broke it already, it’s repaired but quite fragile now), and I got to know more SPS guys, although the barrier between the two schools is still there… Why can’t we all just mix?!?!? It’s as if there’re two different groups… *Sigh*

Next up, I had a Vocation Camp at the Singapore Seminary at Punggol… That was actually quite fun, since I went with Julian and Eugene, but didn’t know that Glen Kiang and Andrew Yong were going too… So in the end, I had quite a few friends there, though I didn’t even know who I would get to know when I got there… So it was a very good, meaningful camp, and I really got to turn to look at my intrinsic self… Andrew does look and act like Marcus Goh, or vice versa, I SWEAR they’re related!

So after that weekend camp came the Legion Chalet, the one we were all waiting for (sorta)… And this time, it wasn’t so much of a disaster… Hehehe =P But yeah, it actually wasn’t that bad… Everything was quite easygoing, and I had to leave after two days, but it was going quite smoothly… Spent most of my b’day in camp again, last of which was at the beach, where we built a series of canals in the sand… So sad I couldn’t swim, but I don’t think anyone would’ve joined me looking at the sad state of the sea,,, But other than that, it was a nice day for me =P Stupid Chitty didn’t turn up…

So I left on the seventh night, and we went out for dinner, though I can’t remember where… It might have been at home, but I really don’t remember… Anyway, the next day or so was spent packing, and on the eighth night was our flight to Boston… I ended up getting an economy ticket which was upgraded at Frankfurt, and I had a nice nap cuz I couldn’t get much sleep before in the squashed seat… But I did make friends with the two guys beside me, and they gave me their business cards, though I don’t know what for… The caucasian guy was nicer though =P made some latex mattresses or something like that… LOL

So Boston was fun for all four days of our stay there… For another rare occasion, all five children were once again reunited… Last time was Kids Camp earlier that year in June, but it was the first time that Rem and Wei had been to Boston, and so Gen and Tush had a good time showing them around, especially all the cool sights like the Aquarium and Museum of Science… Other than that, we had a nice drinking game, where they forced me to pull out before I got any more drunk than them =P They were jealous, just because alcohol capacity is related to body mass… *Sigh* I needed all that anti-depressant…

So from Boston, we flew up to Vancouver, where we stayed overnight in our grandparent’s house, which was quite inconvenient, cuz of all the moving in and out… I prefer their old house, it was nice, big and warm… But their new house sufficed; I slept on this weird rug thingy that kept me warm and toasty… And the next day, we found that cuz of a snowstorm, we were delayed going up to Whistler to ski, so naturally, we went out to do what we did best… SHOP! We shopped the whole day through, and breakfast was a damn good original Denny’s breakfast… All you need to trigger a heart attack; eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.

When we finally got to Whistler, it was like returning home… The snow was such a welcoming sight, it was like so white and fluffy… I will never forget the time I spent there, all the joys and the tears, and that time of year =P So yeah, skiing downhill the mountain, and the nice snow that we built our snowman in,,, All the fond memories in Whistler when we used to go there at the end of each year… It was so fun lah, but its tiring and expensive… *Sigh* I hope we can go again, it would be even better if we could go with friends, so that the experience would be heightened…

So, we go back to Vancouver for Christmas, where multiple Christmas parties are celebrated… All the fun and laughter, the Christmas spirit just sets everyone off =P (in a good way), but I really missed the Christmas spirit here, what with Legion parties and Choir parties…

Just when I was going to leave for Singapore, I discovered a new swelling of an infection on my inner thigh that resembled somewhat my previous two leg injuries… However, this one was much more painful, and it was also inhibiting my walking cuz of its position and painful nature… *Sigh* Third time it was happening to me… And I had to tahan it all through the flights and the long walks through the airports, carrying my lovely little crumpler =P

But school was starting in a few days, and I had to finish up my homework for that… I was actually quite excitied to go back to school… Don’t know why, but I had so many things to look forward to =P

Little did I know, last minute complications would present themselves along the way…

Alrighty then, I have to go now, but I promise a part II, yah?

Must study hard for CTs, and work hard too!

One last year, till it’s aaaaall over…

Here we go then, till the end.

*Sigh* once again,
