Another long overdue update. But then again, it's been a pretty eventful week. Thankfully, with God's grace, all's well that ends well. Though now I have to nurse a sore throat and runny nose as a souvenir.
Assumption Mass went thankfully, without a hitch, though as I suspected, we ran out of chairs. Nonetheless this could not have been possible without the help of everyone who helped out, be in choir and offertory or reading. THANK YOU BERY MUCH for making it a success, esp the entertaining rendition of Salve Regina by choir memebers. The congegration was thoroughly amused, in a good way.
As for the common tests, well, it is human to err but divine to forgive. So teachers, if you will excuse me.
On a random note, Cambridge ppl are back! Good to see you all peeps back safe and sound, though its quite obvious from your faces that you had a blast there and would give anything to go back there. Forever. But there you go guys, all good things must come to an end(:

Sadly, the pleasantly fulfilling week I spent with all cj family was unfortunately marred by me coming down under the weather. Guess it was retribution by my body for abusing it with sleepless nights rushing through countless proposals, innumerable tests and long school days. I spent the weekend practically lumbering around in a way that would make even the slowest of sloths jealous. Of course, that isn't to say I had the leisure of time at my side, for there was the Lay Apostolate Dinner on sat night which I attended with the rest of Mustard Seed. It was a ten-course dinner, which was quite filling altough I only managed a nibble of everything. Just to be polite, I did finish the shark's fin soup, though it's against my personal beliefs to eat such delicacies. I was particularly amused by the pork ribs with coffee sauce. If the caramelised caffeine was intended to perk one up, it certainly did though I found it a tad too sweet. Naturally, as accompaniment to the food, there was the ear-spilttingly loud emcee(or perhaps it was just a faulty sound system?? from Lectors who tried to lighten the atmosphere with many a Chinese joke or two. Can't really say I had the time of our live, what with the stuffy nose and all, but it goes to show what I've been mising all these years; the fellowship of fellow teens, the friendly banter exchanged and not fogetting the dedication of Cathechists. I say this because I happened to see Aunty Angie, this lady who taught me when I was in primary school and she was at the next table. Seeing her brought back sweet memories of the past, with my classroom at the corner of the staircase. And sometimes, I feel , that maybe,

But of course, there's plenty to live for in the present, like common tests, proposal-writing and the all-time classic mugging (note the sarcasm).
So off I go, for yet another week of bombardments.
