school..

this was taken on the day where we were stuck, unable to take lift back to w4 level 4 after sending anne off.. the lifts were closed down, and guess what, sibelle and me forgot to bring our phones! so that we didn't know what to do.. so we waited for them at the basement entrance while they waited for us at the level 1 entrance.. luckily the lift to level 1 was working, so we went and thank God! we found them or actually it's them who found us.. imagine lives without phones! tragedies.. how important phones are as a source of communication!:)
the situation repeated itself yesterday, but luckily our phones were with us, so we called sj to open the staircase door for us on level 4 since we were unable to take lifts up to sj's class..just at the nick of time, sj left the door and so he joined us trapping inside at the stairs. he cant save us, so he joined us! lol..but it's alright, we called cj to open the door instead..

yesterday's lesson was on cognitive, tightropes of logic.. i think that it's a bit contradicting with all those paradoxes, hair-splitting arguments, but i guess this is the reason why sj is so interested in this topic anyway!

these are some of the arguments:
-I always lie. So, am i lying?
-Are you fast asleep? yes, I am
-I know that I know nothing

isn't it contradicting?

another faci replaced our cognitive faci yesterday, everybody LGH, so the class shrinks from 5 teams to 2 in the end. and we got some jokes from the faci..

a man went to the doctor and claimed that he is not feeling well. so the doctor did a checkup for him and asked him to go back home to wait for the medical report. when the report was out, the doctor called the man and told him that there are two news: a bad news and a very very bad news. the man said that he wants to hear the bad news first. so the doctor told him that the bad news was that he had only 1 day more to live. then, the man asked about the very very bad news and the doctor told him that the very very bad news is that the report came out yesterday. so according to our faci, the moral of the story for the man is that the man has only 1 day more to live but the moral story to us is that we have no more time, our time is up and so we have to start presenting. one of the most interesting and yet random jokes that I have come before. =)

till next time

another week

Oops!.. One week of no updates.. gosh.. i just realised i'm getting a little lazy for it already..this shouldn't be the case..ok, i cannot abandon this blog!..hahas

hmm, where should i start? there's been a lot of things going on this week.. fun time! went jogging at admiralty park with sibelle after class on monday while sj and edwin watched naruto while waiting for us..ooops..sorry! lol..basically went over to jack's class to have cs sessions again!..this time with some rules and sibelle and I are ruling the game! this seldom happens, thanks to the rules!..yayness:)

today's a sunday..went to church and after service, we went to the Sarah centre for the elderly and the older folks near bukit merah. actually, i didn't even think of the purpose of going there. i just go for the sake of going because everyone in the cell is going. but when i come to think of it, i realised the purpose of it, which is to bring joy to the old folks, to let them know that there's still many people out there caring for them. this actually made the visit more meaningful. All cell groups in the young adults fellowship joined together to plan activites for the elderly in the centre. there were around 30 of us which was enough for a one-to-one interaction or get-to-know-more session with the old folks. first, we had a short skit, then songs.. basically, we prepared two songs for them.. we had a hokkien song 'jin jia ho' and it is indeed my first hokkien song!..gosh..but still i have no idea what the song means.. the other song will be the christian song 'as the deer' translated into chinese.. the old folks were more enthusiastic and active than we thought they would be! so it was really fun time and we also played games with them.. most of the old folks speak cantonese and so i'm the canton translator of the day! hahas~...

i could see that they appreciate our visit very much..we bought lunch for them. even though the lunch was not nice at all, they were all tasteless to us..but when we asked the old folks whether they like the food, they said that the lunch was very nice! some of them even packet back! we went over and talked to them, initiating conversations..most of them were living alone where their children and grandchildren only visits them like once a month! some of their children didn't even give them pocket money to spend..but even so, the old folks was like telling us this fact in a very happy manner..they are actually contented and satisfied with life.. and so, i've learnt a lesson, positivity, which is to always think on things on the positive side..the old folks didn't even complained a single word on their lives. many of them also shared with us their pasts.. of why some of them are behaving in a certain way.. some tend to avoid people..

there is no doubt for His faithfulness..His faithfulness is everlasting..His will is always pleasing.. it's indeed a meaningful experience:)



what does it look like?...lol.. the big head puppy by nicholas!!!.. it is meant to be a sunflower at first but later modified into a puppy!..haha=)

one week passed real fast..gotta head down for reflection journals again starting from tomorrow...
gonna stop here...

love, megan..:)

mooncake festival

it's mooncake festival today!!!...

it has all along been one of my best festivals of the year. hmm..what do i say..maybe it's because of the gaiety that the festival brings: mooncake, dinner at grandpa's house, lanterns (it brings back my past memories), our tradition at grandpa's house, cousins, dogs...

but this year's mooncake festival passed just like that without any celebrations like back in my hometown..it's just like any other normal days..hope i'll be lucky enough to celebrate it back in my hometown next year!



weekend's always the same.. sian..have to get my weekends occupied!!! but at least there's some variation this week..i went to the gospel rally by rev stephen tong at the kallang indoor stadium on saturday night.. it's a bit crowded but still fine cause it's a very large place. guess what, rev stephen tong is in his 70s already! but nevertheless, he's still full of energy..going to every destination preaching the word of God. he caught up with his flight to Jakarta, Indonesia right after the sermon and that he will be back to Singapore for the gospel rally tomorrow afternoon again. what a blessing!

hmm...just happy go lucky everyday? not possible i think..we were all born to work..so just get on and continue working in life. just look on it from the positive side, life is actually meaningful and i'm sure there's actually things that are worth doing and remembered in life. but so, dont be too indulged in it, you have to know what is your purpose in life.

new semester

Alright, I realised I haven't been blogging for a long time already. And cut your SOMEpeople SJ, duh! I know it's me..

It starts off with a new semester and a new class in W26L..and it's already one week!

time really flies, but nevertheless, i still spend my precious moments with my buddies!

we went for the piano concert by a very expressive pianist. that's a picture of her. have to say that she and her pieces were amazing! she is very very expressive when playing her pieces. it was fun time with our inside jokes about it..lol

so far, i still enjoy being inside my class. it's fun at times.. but problems are becoming more advanced and hard i think, especially for cognitive.

have to spend five of my weekends here without esther!.. can you imagine boring weekends without her? she would only be back next month..

i have to breakthrough this few months to be back! but anyway, i think that it will be in just a blink of an eye..

patiently waiting..

I think I'm signing off here.. I am actually cracking open my sleep-deprived eyes! eyes surrounded by crusts of sleep.. lessons still going on tomorrow..

hello singapore

Back and Hello Singapore..

it's cloudy day today..

in fact it's raining cats and dogs back here in Singapore..

Say hello to Singapore again and goodbye to my lovely hometown. ain't time passing by so quickly, just like a sudden lighting striking down to earth?.. this holiday, time is indeed my companion that goes with me on a journey from the days and countless outings that i had in Singapore to the days and the times that i had in my hometown. it reminds me to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. human life is just a dream, it is just rounded with a sleep..in just a tick of a clock will things just go by. Time is never enough to do everything, but there's always time to do things that are worth doing or that you think is important. and there's also a fact, cherish the people around you! what comes around goes around. There may be times when thinkings rush through your mind, "I wish I have done that" or "I wish I have said that out" or maybe "I wish i never did that." but what's over is over.. you could never turn time back, all you could do is just to raise your head and be prepared for what's ahead, which might even be same as before..

Hmm..what's the significance of life.. maybe the people around you explains it. love them and cherish them! we are not just survival machines, programmed blindly, instead everything around us makes sense..

what would i say, the truth is always there.. or in other words the reality of what happened.. it's independent of you..despite our ability to detect it sometimes. we do not have full access to these truths because the truth is internal, held by someone, who chose to keep it internally.. we cant help it even so, it's up to one whether he wants to keep it internally or externally.. time is the only comforter, my best friend!

am i considered to be in luck today or not, my excess luggage payment paid by mum (no idea what's inside which made up this much weight) lol.. and my poor luggage lost its tag on the way so that its tagless, no identity which causes it to be stucked at BKI (kk airport). i love flying but i hate this, sad to say, which occurs frequently! it gets on my nerves just like fingernails on chalkboards! anyway, from the positive side..it saved my energy storage, i only need to take care of my hand carry back till to woodlands. my luggage is boarding the next flight now and there will be airport staff in-charged to make sure that my luggage is safely back to its rightful owner's hand at her place of residence..:)

anyway, time do change one's thinking..

i remember that this question was thrown twice to me! once in the middle of the year and the other one just a few days ago.. "are you looking forward to be back to Singapore?"

and my answers are different both times! maybe there's another factor which causes me to think so..

ready or not, it's here...way to go..

love, meg
