Okay, i have decided to update on today and the 'old clique' gang thingy.
Well, today's the start of the National Inter-school Track and Field Competition. It's certainly such a pity i'm not able to represent the school even in my last year. But it's okay. After the sports school jumper came to VS and took over my event adding to my poor distances at other competitions this year, i knew i had no chance to participate. Adding to that, this year's track vest and all is a different colour. Also, i can't pon school to go and support my fellow team mates because i'm not in the team. Nevermind, i shall cheer them on while i'm in school. Today could have been my event day. Long jump. Argh. But looking back, i guessed the sacrifice i made was worth it. Investing in the things of the eternal is more worthy than investing in things of this world.
Today's a rather interesting day. I got up at 4am to catch the France vs Portugal match. First time. I came to a conclusion that soccer players are great actors. The fun part was when it was time for chinese class, in the later part of the day. As there is nothing to teach for chinese, my chinese teacher showed us the movie "I not stupid 2". I decided to stay in my form class next door, and play.. SOCCER. 2 on 2. Okay, i know it isn't that right. But oh well, we sec4s DO NEED to have some fun to destress. Yes, one window pane has already been broken 2days ago due to lack of ball control. But it wasn't us that broke the pane. :P The open space at the back of our spacious classroom is really a haven for aspiring ronaldos and henrys.
After a while, i felt guilty and went back to chinese class. I wanted to take a nap but somehow i carried on watching. As i watched i felt quite sad for the characters in the show, their plight of being given little attention to by their parents and all. Well, that isn't happening to me right now, but i know that there are many people whom i know who share the similar life shown on tv. It's just so sad. But wait, that's not all. Feeling sad for them was a start, after which i just felt this compassion for such people.
These people who are so broken, wounded and hurt on the inside. I was once like that. But God healed my heart and mended this broken heart of mine. If you don't believe you can just take a look at my earlier blog entries. "Depression", "Depression" and "Depression". These words were a recurring trend back then. It was even worse before i had this blog. These people really need to know God, they need Him to bring meaning back into their lives. So many teenagers out there, with broken families, lacking the love they yearned to received. I really wish i could bring them all to church and let them know how much God loves us. And that they are loved. Yes, you are loved by God! He loves you no matter how you look like, no matter how bad and dirty you are, He still loves you. Afterall, a doctor is to help the sick and it is the same here. You don't need to be perfect, flawless or sinless to know God. :)
Now for the 'old clique' gang part.
The 'old clique' gang as stated by i forgot who consists of myself, clarence, dudley, calista, cheryl teo, annabel and valerie. The seven of us. Different schools, same God. Well that clique was a thing of the past as it is stated as an 'old' clique. That was way back then in year 2004-05, if i'm not wrong. We always went out for movies and all. We were quite childish then, there were misunderstandings that plaqued us and happy moments remembered by all. We always went out together not just during the holidays, but other days as well. Soon, as time passed, more and more people started joining us when we go out. And *TATA* no more 'old' clique. Now if we go out among our age group people, there would be alot of people. Personally, i do not like going out in big groups as i have some phobia or something like that. But i still enjoy going out with my church friends. Afterall, it's the people that make an outing fun.
On monday, i went to do my CIP at marine parade library with dudley, calista and valerie. The details i will not emphasize. After that, we went to suntec to walk around while waiting for cheryl teo and annabel to come. We all decided to have dinner together. Sadly, calista had to leave and clarence was not with us. So it was just the five of us - me, dudley, cheryl teo, annabel, valerie. Only two were missing.
We were at raffles city and were looking for a place to eat. After much procastination and indecisiveness from us, as usual, we decided to eat at Burger King. That was when all the fun came to past. _______ said "why my coke so big?" and next moment our dearest dudley was there laughing till his face turned red. He looked at me, and immediately i understood and started laughing. The girls were still puzzled at our sudden outburst of laughter. BUT, they still laughed. LOL. Soon, all of us were laughing for no particular reason and became the centre of everyone's attention. It was really funny. I shall not say why.
After that, i brought them to swissotel which was within the building. We met this super pro pianist who was playing the grand piano at the hotel lobby. He's really good and really nice. He smiled to us and asked if we played the piano. When we left we waved to him, only to realise he couldn't wave back as he was playing. LOL. Then we were like "don't wave already, later he cannot play".
We went to the high class level taht elgin had brought me and handy to. It was really fun sneaking around. We went to the high class toilet and found this weird cubicle thingy which looked somewhat like multiple phone booth without phones. Soon, we went inside and starting posing for shots. Suddenly, there were people approaching. We quickly ran into the ___'s ______. And OH YES. It's a ___'s ______ ! And what were they doing there?! Somemore still can take photo. HAHA. I shall not go into the details. It is meant to be kept a secret. I wonder who, always like to go to ___'s ______. TSK! Haha!
It was really the most retarded time we ever had. A day we will never forget. If only calista and clarence were there, it would be even more fun! Nevermind, after the o's we shall go out again and explore other high class places. Set? Haha! 'Old clique', we're the best!
*Disclaimer: 'old clique' does not clique together anymore as in we don't stick among ourselves and talk only with each other. So yeah. We're not really a clique, it is just a term use to call what was of the past.
And oh yes! At last i have completed my 13hours of CIP as a librarian at Marine Parade library. Now i really hope i get my A2 for my CCA grading. It was kind of fun, experiencing what it was like to be a librarian at a library i literally grew up with. It reminded of all the good times and the 16books every other week i used to borrow and read in primary school.
