Just moved house on Friday, and I really miss my old house. Internet was just installed yesterday night, phone line a moment ago. But what I really miss is my HOT water-inadequate supply over here. Yes, as a guide/YA/UGer, I shouldn’t be complaining cos I had been through more days without hot water before.But how should I put it, it’s different.Home is suppose to be comfort and camp is suppose to be all grim and dirty.
Anyway, it seems lately that I am missing a lot of things.
YA conference on community service on the 29th and the 30th of March, sounds kinda nice. I wonder why community service though, isn’t service-learning better? But then again, I am biased. Very.Biased. Sent that application e-mail already, I hope Hawa received it. Speaking of community service, it’s really making me miss DREAMS 5, even though DREAMS 5 is solely service-learning.
I finally got my hands on “
chicken soup for the college soul”! YAY! But unfortunately, it’s borrowed from Bishan Library. Awesome book, making me excited for college come May. Hopefully I can do my freshman and sophomore year(which is 1 year here) in Singapore then fly over there for junior and senior year over at Long Beach. But really…I would be a lot more excited if my major is English/English Literature/Psychology/History. But hell…2 more months or so till school starts, the wait is so darn agonizing.
Trips to Kamini’s house had become a ritual of some sort(watching coffee prince), and cooking over at her place too.Oh, and drinking bubble tea bought from her house “downstairs”. Her dad though I am a boy, with my worn “slippers” and Shayer bag.HAHA. Think it’s time I should get a new bag and a new spatu-sandal(sorry..no idea how to say it in English but literal translation is shoes-slippers).
Went to Treetop Hike with Andreas,Peiwen and Jie last Saturday, and we got lost on the way back. We walked this 1 whole stretch of country club road(where we were in the risk of getting hit by the golf balls) until one kind lady gave us a ride to the exit. We were damn shocked, I think our mouth hung wide open throughout the whole ride. We should really start believing in 1 good turn deserves another.
And the last stretch to the treetop with the UWC students who were also hiking is worse than 2.4km run, we couldn’t even run up to the top, cos it was too steep.
We rewarded ourselves with dim sum and ice kimo’s chocolate fondue at Thomson afterwards.
And this is only the recce, I will think twice about going to the actual one.
PEIWEN and JIE….PHOTOS.pretty please.
