dont know if i should blog about this. want to pen it down but yet dont want it to be so obvious. how should i go bout it? oh well. lets just say i am not sure if i am able to show my gratitute towards the thing that i love to do, my passion, my interest. would really like to but its not my choice anymore. know that things were not done as well as it should have been, but its not really what i wanted. know that i shouldnt push the blame away but its really true that i was "restricted" and that what i had in mind wasnt put to plan. things were quite messy from within. wanted to clear things up but chance was not given. dont know if i will be given another 2nd chance to correct things. can only hope for the best. "as you have believed, so let it be done for you" - Matthew 8:13

shall start of with saying that i am in kind of a dilemma now. shall i continue or not to continue? on 1 hand i do not wish to continue the struggle but yet on the other hand, i indeed do not feel like giving up like this. sigh. shall see the outcome this sat before making my final decision.
and guess what. i got my aeronautical specialization. haha. finally, after so many anxious days, weeks and months, i have gotten it at last. He has proven to be always so faithful in answering prayers yet once again. and the beauty is that daily devotion yest was about casting all worries on Him. isnt He just wonderful? haha. yeap. God is great. =D this is the verse that was in the devotion yest. shall share it here. enjoy.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6–7

as the title suggests, this entry is about the reflections i had of the past 3 months of the holidays. i will say its a very nice and rather well spent holidays. it was my last holidays so kinda treasured it a lot. but alas, i had to be down with dengue for 2 wks and another 1 month for complete recovery. but like i had mentioned in a previous entry, the dengue made me realise and reinstated how important real and true friends are. i was really touched by those who came to visit me during my stay in sgh. after my discharge, the rest of the holidays are spent doing the things that i like and going to genting, my favourite holiday destination. though its jus a short 3 days trip with my parents, i really enjoyed myself there. looking forward to the end of year holidays where i will go there with my whole family. hehe. right after my genting trip, i am back into hall, where i had a really wonderful orientation. never have i enjoyed orientation so much before. used to dislike orientations. but this time round, i enjoyed myself and loved my og. woo hoo.. udeiya rocks. my og is really a bunch of happening people. thanks to them, i had a really fun, enjoyable and memorable orientation to remember for my last year in hall and in nus.
now, the holidays have ended and school has started for 1 week. i have no classes on mon and thur. so on mon, i decided to go to the airport to "relax". while looking at the sky and planes at the viewing mall at T1, the clear sky and the thick white clouds reminded me of wallaby. missed the days when i was there. weather may be hot, conditions may be unfavourable, training may be tough, but thinking back now, it has been a nice and memorable time there. if i have a chance to go back there again during reservist, i will definitely look forward to it. once i have the photos back, i will post it up. i miss wallaby. tue was normal, with nothing special except going for classes. same goes for wednesday. thursday was the happening night. had our udeiya gathering in b blk lounge at night. turnout was very good. we had donut factory donuts, snacks, drinks and ice cream and even watched dvd after playing games. had lots and lots of fun on thursday night. udeiya really rocks.. i love udeiya.. haha.. friday was another nice night. after ibg, a few udeiya peeps went for supper together. told you we are a happening og. haha. nothing much happened on sat. went for the south east area campfire on sat night. supposed to part of the in charge of this campfire too because i am also the area venture leader but because i was down with dengue during the planning stage, i was left out of it.. hehe.. blessing in disguise? hmm.. shall not comment on this. sunday, which is today, or should i say yesterday, was another great night in eusoff.. b blk was having a farewell party for jacky as he is leaving for korea for sep. we gave him 1 "good time" and after that, we just gathered around and played drinking games and fooled around. eusoff really rocks. i love eusoff.. haha.. its gonna be the start of the 2nd wk. must start some serious studying soon. but of course, at the same time, i am not gonna miss out the fun in hall. eusoff rocks. b blk rocks. udeiya rock.. woo hoo..

we won! we won! we won won WON!!! Eusoff has the best float in Rag 2007. woo hoo.. go Eusoff.. i am so very happy and excited now, together with the many many raggers who put in 3 months of hard work to get this show today going. the tears of joy on so many eusoffians' face when the result was announced, the screaming and cheering hysterical eusoffians just showed how much we valued this award. finally, we won it back again. the marvel of the engineering of the mechanism, the colours, the design of the float, no doubt we are the BEST! enough said. i am a bit at a loss of words. let the pictures do the talking and show why eusoff is the BEST float..
our float. the space shuttle.
the exhaust of the space shuttle and the movable pistons
the explorer. this "car" was made entirely by eusoffians, out of various materials. talented arent they.. =)
the wings of the space shuttle.
alright. now to showcase some pic of the other halls' floats. they are quite good too.. but not good enough for eusoff.. =)
King Edward VII hall's float. the stadium.
the soccer boot and the ball.
the scoreboard and miscellaneous items.
huge coin..
the spotlights of the stadium, made up of CDs
grandstand..
sheares hall's cinderella pumpkin carriage.. the modernised and mechanised version.
opening of the pumpkin carriage.
raffles hall's magical schoolbus.. nice engine details..
the front of the magical schoolbus
kent ridge hall's plane crash on an island. sounds like LOST
tail of the crashed plane beside the waterfall
temasek hall's wayang kulit
the screen and the puppets and the pottery..
all these floats u see here are made entirely by students, using just bottles, cans, cardboards etc.. sounds fun isnt it? it is SUPER FUN. so for those of you who are coming to nus, remember to stay in hall and u get to have such fun. =D

woo hoo... EUSOFF rag preview.. die die must watch!! this was videoed yest night. the dance moves are simply mind blowing.. at a loss of words on what to say. so proud and excited of eusoff..just watch it..
had nussu flag day yest. was very very tiring but fun. flagged from 7am to 10pm. yeap. thats a whole 15 hours. but of course, with a couple of hours of rest in between. i'm not a freak of nature like lawyer said i am. remember that lawyer.. i also need a rest. and i am also not cruel nor a slave driver. u had your rest at the designated time, as promised. was fun flagging with lawyer, though i had to endure the things she said. gosh. a lawyer indeed. could never win her in an debate nor argument. on-job-training before she was even "qualified". anyway, that's beside the point. point is it feels great to be flagging for eusoff, to be committed to eusoff, to make eusoff my 1st priority now. had been making that place the 1st priority over hall, over nus, over the place where i should have been for the past 3 years. i am not going to make the same mistake this time. sacrificed so much and all i get is this crap, even having to ans to that ******* now regarding the things i do. you have no right to question me, and i dont have to answer to you. argg... felt so much like scolding out vulgarities in here. cant be bothered much with what they do with that place anymore. really really very tired. rather spend my energy for the place where i should be spending on, to the people/person whom i should care for, than getting myself pissed with the people in that place. all i will do there now is what i should be doing. nothing more, nothing less. eusoff is where i pledge my loyalty n commitment to, where i will devote my time and energy now. no more that place. n come to think of it, that place is where my very bad pains originated from. 3 yrs ago and now again with another one. alright. shall not talk bout that place anymore. had my awakening and very clear with what i should be doing now, where and whom i should devote my time to now. Eusoff, to the fore!!!

i am feeling very very very high now. not high due to alcohol but high and excited. high and proud. high and emo. Eusoff is the cause of all these. why? just ended our orientation week tonight, with a closing ceremony and a performance by the Eusoff band. the atmosphere and level of ecstasy is just simply overwhelming. been a very wonderful orientation week with my og Udeiya. the closing ceremony is just so wonderfully done. to me, its also very touching and heartwarming. ever since Eusoff accepted me in about 1 year plus ago, i had pledged my loyalty to Eusoff and tonight, i felt so proud of Eusoff, so proud of our band, so proud of our EHOC. the way all of us jumped and clapped and cheered and sang with the band, the level of enthusiasm of everybody present, the feeling is just beyond description. wanted so much to tell everybody how great Eusoff is. had a sense of belonging, a feeling this is where i truly belong, what i really ought to do, be and devote myself, instead of being at that place which is now causing me quite a bit of unhappiness, the place where i am dealing with people, or kids, who are not at the same level of maturity, who wont understand things that people of our "generation" like. for instance this whole entire orientation week. they will prob not understand and think its lame etc. maybe i should start hanging out more with people of my standing, instead of sacrificing so much time and ultimately to be betrayed. maybe i should spend less time in that now unhappy place. alright. enough of that unhappy place of betrayers. coming tue is the nussu flag day. next sat will be the rag day. looking forward to it. saw the preview just now. the rag and the dance. boy. the dance is so full of energy, so full of life, so full of power. again, this is something "they" wont understand or appreciate even if i had told them how great our dancers and dance are. looking at their dance club and dances, ha, i wanted to laugh myself to death. seeing how excited they are in their concerts, screaming their lungs out, i just gave myself that "ha" grin, laughing at their ignorance. wait till they see what real dances are. they think that their dance club is so wonderful but they are just frogs living in a well. cant blame them also, can i. they are but little kids. hahahahaha. anyway, yah.. our dance is really cool. whoever seeing it will definitely move their bodies to the beat and the moves. i can vouch for that. proud of Eusoff but sadly, this will be my last year here. sigh. well, all good things must come to an end. what's more important is that i had enjoyed myself. i can proudly say "i love Eusoff". go Udeiya, go Eusoff!!!
