At last, I finally have access to a com. I was supposed to have written this yesterday, but I was so tired that I collapsed in bed immediately after dinner. I'm like really enjoying myself now. Geneva and London were fun, but nothing beats Vancouver. This place is simply great, from the shopping downtown to the parks. Wait a minute...what shopping?....those who know me know that I hate shopping:P
The only complaint that I have is that the familiar Singapore food is rather absent, and since I am rather addicted to spicy food, I really feel the effects of not having it around. Oh, and I don't really know how to say this, but I'll scream if I ever have to see wholemeal bread again in the near future. I mean, I really hate it, and as if I don't see enough of it at home, Grandma also buys it, but I'm going to try my best not to complain.
And just to share some of my muddled thoughts, on the flight from London to Vancouver, it was a full flight with near maximum load, and during take-off, the moment the wheels left the ground, the captain retracted the wheels so loudly that I actually thought that one of the clusters on the undercarridge had dropped of, and I got a little nervous when the plane started vibrating considerably immediately after this. It just isn't like me to let my thoughts run wild like this, right? But thank God nothing of that sort happened.
Going for a walk later with Mom and Auntie Eng. I'm really tired again.

Waiting
Waiting...something that I don't do particularly well. We're going to London tonight at 11:20, and I sort of finished my packing, so I'm just sitting around doing nothing:P Mum's giving the floor an extra sweep, so I think that it's nearly time to go. I hope we get a new plane today, top class cabin crew. I'm hungry, and I don't like to have to wait for dinner.
Oh yes, Yeng Wai and Hil May's wedding went so beautifully yesterday. Everything turned out simply well, and the bride and groom were really looking great. There was so much sincerity as they made their vows to each other, and as they thanked their parents for all that they had done for them. Only thing was that I took a few wrong steps at the beginning of the recessional, which I hope not too many people saw:P Happy day:) Thank God for the wonderful couple:)
By the way, I saw Kevin See at river valley yesterday when we went to buy dinner. I got to chat with him for a while, which was great:)
I'm looking forward to the holiday, and Christmas with Grandma, but I'll miss all my wonderful friends. Hope to see you soon.

Prom
I just came back from Youth Camp today. The theme for this year was knowing God, and I must say that I've certainly learned a lot from this year's camp, and got to know some friends better. In the middle of Youth Camp however, I took leave to go for prom on tuesday. It was certainly the most packed day that I had ever experienced. In the morning, we had this game called civilisation frenzy, which was basically war games in clementi woods, and was quite a lot of fun although I got a little dirty at the end of it. In the afternoon, I went home to wash up, and read harry potter and the half-blood prince for the entire afternoon. Before I knew it, it was already time to go.
I made my way down to ritz, and saw that the lobby was filled with people who were taking pics and were looking great. I almost could not recognise some people at first:P I first saw Alvin Toh, Kevin and DZ at the lobby, then saw Joan, Soon, Mari and Bryan Chua downstairs. From then on, it was an endless stream of pictures until my camera battery died:( I should have remembered to change the batteries before coming. Anyway, I managed to take pictures with most of the people I knew, but did not manage to see everyone due to the time constraint.
I would like to say a big thank you to all my friends in ACJC Class of 2005. I really appreciate you a lot, and I hope we can continue to stay in touch.
After Prom, which passed by too fast, I went to Momo with Jon Tui, Jiade, Daniel, Mel, Joyce, Shu and Kenny. I saw Edwin and Karno outside the door, too. Well, I wasn't really prepared for the deafening music in the club, and I was a little stunned at first. The cigarette smoke was present in large quantities, and the smell of it went home with me:P (I saw some friends smoking there, whom I never knew to be smokers.) Pravin and Ruiwen tried to make me dance, but I was rather unenthusiastic. Sorry to disappoint you guys, I was just really tired, and I have very little confidence when it comes to dancing:P But thanks for trying to get me to dance:) I still have much to learn.
The next day, I was totally out for a good part of the day, and I didn't get much done. This morning was the final day of Youth Camp, when Wei-En challenged us to live our lives in a different way, bearing fruit, because we know God better. There's another rehearsal for Yeng Wai and Hil May's wedding tonight at church, and I also need to study for driving theory.
Hope to catch up with you soon.

I don't know what to do...
I sometimes feel that I am too free, but of course that is impossible. We can be too busy but never too free. I sure appreciate the much slower pace now. Just had senior's reunion last night at oliver and josh's place. Their condo is simply huge and really nice. I really enjoyed the whole evening, the games, the BBQ, as well as the time of worship and sharing. I'm grateful for all my wonderful friends at BB. After that, they went to btp to play lan, while I couldn't due to parental objection=(
Actually, I have quite a packed time ahead of me. Tomorrow, I'm helping YFC with an event at PHS, and that should take me all the way til about 4pm, which means that I am missing a rehearsal for Yeng Wai and Hil May's wedding. Oh well... On saturday, I'm free for a large part of the day. On sunday, the heavy schedule starts. I have youth camp from evening, and I'm leaving on tuesday at lunch time. Then there's prom in the evening, and there's club momo after that until very early (in the morning, I mean) Wednesday, I'm free again, thursday there's the full wedding rehearsal as well as worship rehearsal, saturday is the big day, and then family holiday starts on sunday night. Yay! I'm going to raid the plane's kitchen of cookies at night as usual, and then catch whatever movies they have to offer. I'll only be back at the beginning of next year which is when I hope I can get a relief teaching job. I really want to teach in AC because I really love the school, but I don't know whether I'll even get the job in the first place. I specifically stated that preferably I want to teach maths in the application. I did not choose any primary school subjects in the application because I'm not confident of controlling the kids in class.
Now I am trying to get down to reading harry potter and the half-blood prince, which I should have done ages ago=P
To all my friends: Happy Holidays!!! See you at ritz
