12:34 AM

Thus is the conclusion of one of my most perfect Fridays, simply because I enjoyed immensely the company of my favourite army bois for dinner. Sekolah was rather enjoyable actually, apart from the hiccup I had being late for my Lit simply because I walked past the real room twice thinking that it was not the room. I'm starting to feel the pressure from class participation, everyone seems to be well read and opinionated and all debatory while I'm such a opinion pushover :/ English was quite interesting, actually I think all my tutors are fascinating people la. Took the longest MRT ride of my life for tutoring time and was super fidgety for it to finish. And because Jocelyn is so ridiculously absent minded, my half charged phone died on me right before the dinner so I could not contact the guys. ): Luckily Joel and Terence found me! Then we BKed at the Ion which has like super cool iPod outlets to charge your mp3 and listen to them at the same time. I also won $40, 000 today on wheel of fortune! :D and more importantly, I did not break my curfew yayy.

I think I'm actually a very distracted person and this continues to bug me well into my 3rd week of term, often I see people (or rather, one person) with so much ambition and passion that I'm both awed and ashamed at the same time. I'm still not sure wherein my purpose in life lies, although something tells me it's people-oriented. I like people to be happy, I like to make them laugh, and sometimes I also think I have no life because I always think about how to make another person's day. Of course this is almost comparable to trying to please others, but hey, in an age of self-centeredness (Nobody, Nobody but Me) is this really a bad thing?

Of course I also had my slight hiccups during the week, when people try to take advantage of a giving nature - my mother never fails to remind me that "there is no need to be so honest". However, being so competitive also makes me feel guilty at the same time.

My knee is healing well, although I have done nothing to aid it. In fact I sprinted for the BTC that day from CL all the way to LT13 under 5 minutes, when I reached home I felt like puking. Hopefully it will not die on me during FB next week (which I am still not sure if it's the best thing for me to join).

I think this week flew by rather quickly! Tomorrow will be best friend time with our favourite activity of badminton which we only play twice a year HAHA, because her schedule is busier than mine. And hopefully an Ashton's treat! (:

Derk mentioned that I seem to be happier now. Mm, I think so too, although of course my weeks are as eventful as ever and I do have my highs and lows, but as Mr Leong once said during retreat,
Pain is good, it means you are alive. And thus I like being alive, because it means I am full of God's love and ready to share and spread it to others.
