This is going to be exciting!

I've just made a decision that will shock my Sg friends. I have paid in full 175USD for my Spring Break trip to Miami with the crusaders. It wasn't a decision made on impulse. I prayed about it. I simply don't feel the draw towards Disneyland as much as I use to. Although I've wanted to visit it since I was 3, when Dad bought me Mickey Mouse from Cali. Disneyland, themeparks, meaningless sightseeing VS serving God in a different capacity, albeit not much sightseeing. Which would you choose? My rationale is that God will bless me so much more than I can ever anticipate. I can do the sightseeing after the semester ends. And somehow doing something for God sounds much more exciting than going to fantasyland. I like my fellow exchange buddies, but I feel like breaking away from them sometimes. I know my role among them and I feel I need to recharge. I can't keep being salty when I feel like I'm running out of flavour sometimes. It's not easy to encourage people to go to church and continuously live life the way Jesus would be pleased with. It's bloody difficult.
I'm breaking away. I'm spending one week with a bunch of people who are almost strangers. And I abandon my Spring Break in Your hands. Pray that God will use me and the rest of the crusaders greatly.

Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year

They do not have holidays for Chinese New Year over here. How sad. They don't know what they're missing out on. And thanks to them I've got no hols either. Anyway school will not close down even if there's a snowstorm. Because it will cost them millions to close down for just one day. That's GT for you.

Guess what are the beads for?

These beads are from Mardi Gras, my friends brought them back for me when they went for their weekend trip to New Orleans. These beads are thrown from the floats to the crowd below and according to my friends they threw em real hard! Ow. What are the beads for? Erm.. Alright. If you want someone to show u some any part of their body, you gotta tell them the part you wanna see and if the person flashes you have to throw em the beads. Sleazy eh?

Spent Chinese New Year cooking most of the time and eating. Lol. My greatest achievement is making Yu Sheng from the scratch. Plum sauce and all. With the help of my friends of course. Sad to say, I didn't take any photos during the process.

Vday was just busy. Stayed in school till 7.30pm that day working on a project. But at 4pm my friends came over pass me a flower. Awww. So sweeet.

Another roadtrip, another hole in my pocket.

Dear Jesus, this Valentine's Day, my heart belongs to You. And I want it to be so every Vday! Yay

A typical day...

Overslept for the 3rd time this week. Overslept everyday except for MOnday... Arrgh what's wrong with me? Actually, I know what's wrong. Can't do anything about it, so can only force myself to get out of bed. Headed to school for the HRM exam... It'll be fine. I think. I wrote as much as I could. Hands ached after that.
Followed by lunch and studying for the quiz for the next day. I swear I have quizzes like everyday!!! Gdness. God save me. Let it snow or ice the tutors in or something, I need a break already. Haha.
Headed back home after school and started on my fried snickers bars immediately. I didn't take any photos, coz they simply looked ugly. I don't know why the batter refuses to stay on the chocolate! Why? I don't get it either. Is it the fat-free milk, or is it the flour? Arrrgh I don't know. I'll just have to finish frying all the bars with the remaining batter. Yep, took my ugly snicker bars over to Wen Eu's place for dinner and my B&J ice cream. Weeell, at least the bars tasted good. They could have tasted better.. I sooo miss Fried MArs Bars.. We had curry bee hoon. Haha. Abit bland because the curry was frozen, but it was alright, since I wasn't feeling all that well anyway. Sick food. Haha.
Went to watch the short movies produced by GT students in school after dinner, it was fun watching the short clips. Except that I couldn't get some of them. The winning film Fanya Kaplan was really piang piang ( superb!), about the attempted assasination of Lenin. They spoke Russian! Impressed and their filming skills really good. The funniest film went to lecture crashers. 2 students who crash lectures and do outrageous stuff like ordering pizza in the middle of lecture?! And other crazier stuff. Nuff said.
I'm back in my room mugging for my quiz tomorrow. *yawn*

Snowboarding, exams and being in my own world.

Went snowboarding in the moutains last weekend and was it thrilling fun! Though I ended up on my butt half the time, I'm happy to say that I have kinda gotten the hang of it. Chance of lifetime. Why doesn't singapore SNOW??! People in the tropics are seriously missing out alot of fun.

Scary ski lift behind Bev and me.

Agnes went snowball-throwing-happy and ended up the target of all the people she threw snowballs at. Lol. It was good, clean, wet fun. Haha.
Wanted to go to New Orleans this coming weekend, but I thought I should just give it a miss due to my tight budget. Annnd.. I'm wondering if it's good for me to go there at all. I'm not going there to paartie, but to check out the voodoo hoodoo cemetries and haunted houses. Yea, sounds wrong right? Yep, guess I shouldn't test God. Didn't feel any peace about going, although I really wanted to go. But, not anymore I guess.

Going to watch Swan Lake this coming Friday at the Fox theatre and the tics are cheap, only 10 bucks :) But, I think I'll probably spend on food again. Sigh. HAte the exchange rate it's not working to my advantage.

2 tests this week! No more updates until I've got more time.
