It's been 3 to 5 working days already, and I still have yet to receive any update on my laptop. Customer service my foot. Bah. This marks the end of the first school week, and already there's so much to catch up on. My maths results are very the digusting, despite studying the mostest hardestest for it and all the tuition/consultation/library sessions. Oh, life is such a vending machine. No matter how much you put in, you don't always get what you want.

School has been otherwise quite fun (minus all the pep talks and the youshouldbestudyingyourassoff signals from teachers). Backed out of NUS Stats competition cos I figured I'd be workload overload. Learning some new dance for PE. It's quite hilarious actually, cos the lady (whom I suspect is a trained belly dancer) looks so graceful compared to us. Like the passing the oyster movement and the washing the side wall movement. Hahaha. And with Bob as my dance partner, who insists that I should be more expressive when referring to the moon aka him. Not to mention whacking my hands (on purpose) during the chorus. Immature. And Andrew who poked fun at me cos I kept dancing the guys' part.

Friday was Alfresco, a bigBIG success thanks to Miss SYT, who headed it (: CA set up a booth selling s'mores, donuts and Merlion chocolates. And I had to fan the charcoals for like the longest time so as to keep the fire going to grill the kopitiam bread and the marshmellows. I honestly think I have severe long term health costs from the smoke inhalation. But oh well. And Matt has a unique sense of humour.
(selling donuts)
Girl: Ooo donuts! What's in them?

Matt: Flour and chocolate.

Haha.

Enjoyed the performances put up too, alot of the facils strummed/sang which was good. Then there was movie screening of Little Rascals during which, yes you guessed it, council debrief. Somehow I am most reluctant to step down, not when Mr Leong said we were cohesive together. I really love everyone in 33rd, and I guess it's sad that it had to end just when we are getting super tight ):

Saturday was facil bbq! Turnout not bad, Mr Tan was (is) kind enough to sponsor all the food and clean up after us, which made me feel very guilty. Pity more girls didn't turn up, but food was awesome. And yeah no prizes for guessing who fanned the fire again. Haha. Double smoke inhalation.

Today, I met Francoise for the healing youth rally. Although it started later, and we being kiasu turned up wayyy early for it, it was awesome (: Fr Simon always works his magic. Somehow it just feels good, that no matter how much ___ you may be going through, God always works through the people we meet to help you out. It's amazing really. Like sometimes we think God will come in some majestic way like a shining knight on a mighty stallion, but no - it's always in some discreet way like through a friend but we don't always notice it. Like how on Fri I was a bit late for morning mass (it was 708) so I didn't feel like going, but lo and behold, I was on the bus with Jess! And she wanted to go for mass too, so being the exemplary senior that I should be, we went together (late). Father was already into his sermon, but let's not get into details. Point is, God wanted me to go for mass, regardless of whether I was late :D

So yup, keep your eyes and heart open to witness the small miracles of God, instead of waiting for a major sign and missing everything that He put in your way. Gosh I am so inspired right now I could get started on my Econs essay instead of being entertained by MSN.
Could, not will.

Happy Youth Day!
