yes, i shall still blog.. n geez, it's amazing how a lot of things can b changed over a short span of less than 15hrs. look at the draft i typed out tis morn so tt i wun hv to spend so much time here:
---
well, u know i usu hv the habit of blogging before i go somewhere.. hee.. yups, this is one of those instances.
I'M GOING JAPAN!!
hehh.. i've been keeping this quiet for a while over the blog cos i wanna surprise some ppl.. *evil me* ;p
yup yup yup.. i'll be gone for ard 9days.. my flight is scheduled to leave at 06 00 hour from Changi n arriving at Narita ard 13 00 hour. 7 hours of flight, so Tokyo shall be the furthest place i've charted to tis year. hee.. well, this is part of a church activity since my senior pastor will b going there to perform the Magic Of Love, i'm taking part as a prayer intercessor.. part of my duties include doing some magic tricks, which i picked up over 4 lessons.. i'm not sure what to expect when i get there.. *excited*
packing last nite oredi boosted up my excitement level, til i found it rather hard to sleep. tonite wld definitely b a sleepless one as well, because i'd b heading down the airport tonite to avoid catching a taxi early in the morning n suffer midnight charges. (the last time i took a taxi for the half marathon, it cost me $25++!! btw, yea, i ran on 11 Sept, n got a timing of 2h 34min 52s. still not within my time goal, still got room for improvement..) anyway, Steff offered to keep me company, tho i declined at 1st, but on 2nd thots, it might be a good idea cos i need someone to help me jaga my bags when i go washroom, n i guess it's quite an adventure to stay overnight at the airport so i wun wanna deny Steff that thrill. hehh.. as for myself, i've done tt before while i was in JC. heh.. ppl do weird stuff during that age.. :P
n to my dear KwongHsia, yes dear, i'm fine. yes, i'm putting ur name down here cos i think u still read my blog n i owe u an sms. haa.. will msg u when i get back, okie.. take care yea.. :)
n i had a most wonderful dinner with FK. *winkz* i dun care if u've gone down to try the ice cream while i'm away, the point is that we mus go down there tgther one day when i get back n when i save enough coins for it. heee... :P
to evryone else, pls wait for updates n photos next next week! til then take care ~!
---
well, i'm still going Japan for sure, by faith. hee.. got a lil freaked out bout the visa thinggy, but shall chk it out tmr n see how. silly me, never chked that out.
n as i'm typing tis at ard 1135pm from home, it means that i'm not staying overnight at the airport. Irene thot it best for me to sleep more (she's paying my taxi fare later *hee* n sending me off on top of that. :)), but alas, i'm still not asleep yet. soon, soon.. i'm quite tired now. dun think i will hv enough sleep.. last time i prayed to God before to multiply my sleeping hours by 5-10 times. n it sorta worked cos i was fully awake n functional the next day. oh God, let it be so tonite..

before the clock strikes midnight,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMIE!!!
n i rmbr that when i jus started my blog, i made a special wish for my momie's bday too. *grinz..
yest's nite appreciation dinner turned out to be a sch function, so it wasnt onli for GB girls.. in fact, almost practically none of the girls were there. n once again, i wasnt dressed for the ocassion, but i guess it was all right. some other ppl were dressed quite casually as well. anyway, for once, i did not care for the food so much, din each much either cos surprisingly i was full even before i finished the food. perhaps i was thrown into a strange circumstance where i knew not many ppl there except a few teachers n my GB captain. sighz..
but it was a good nite because i got to hear the FMSS band and choir group performed. n they were awarded gold for the SYF, even with hons for choir. i love the piece from Pirates of the Caribeans that the band played, but the choir cld hv done better, what with their flying colours, i expected more. i guess this is more of a goodbye night for me, for FMSS. will explain on tis point later.
today was National Bible Quiz day. FMSS sent two teams, which i coached for a period of 3 wks on the book of Luke. i mus say tt i did not fare well as a coach cos i myself did not finish the book, n it was a sad blow tt the girls did not get into the top 5. i was half hoping tt they wld get at least 5th. o well.. one team got silver n the other one, which got onli 3 points lower, got bronze award (this gold, silver, bronze award is based on score, not that u get 1st, 2nd or 3rd). 3 pts made a difference. poor team. i felt sad for them. all in all, the girls were quite high spirited n independent. cld jus do without an adult volunteer to jaga them.
then after that, i met momie at city hall. she wanted to buy stuff from Giordano. *geez.. haha.. we went to the one in citilink, it did not hv her size. then we toured ard marina square, they did not hv a Giordano there. fine, so we had to make our way thru the large crowd (thx to Comex, n some World Food thinggy) to the outlet in Suntec.. no luck there as well. finally confirmed that they hv the stock in Raffles City. phew... thank God that they hv 3 outlets nearby in the city hall area, so now u ppl know where to go hunting for ur Giordano items on ur bdays, if u wanna play safe.. hee.. ;)
oooh.. that reminds me of a fwded sms i got. shall post it here before i end off. pls read one line at a time slowly. hehee.. i really like tis one.. :D

oh, n yest on my way back, i bumped into another old labmatie of mine. he did one module together with me, the beer module. *grinz.. i'm glad tt he still rmbr me. hee.. these days, i happen to bump into ppl a lot tt it frightens me. i guess i need to be prepared evrytime i step out of my house, prepared in the sense of being dressed more presentably. haa... well, i hv a knack of appearing in big T-shirt n berms, even at Orchard Rd once. cos i wasnt doing shopping ma, i went there jus to do an errant. n *bam* i bumped into my coursemates there. so paiseh tt i jus waved a hi to them n went off quickly in the opposite direction.. hahaa.. sighz..
tonite i'll be appreciated by my GB girls.. hee.. 'em throwing an appreciation dinner at FMSS for the volunteers. so yay~.. sth to look fwd to after work. :)

perhaps i shd blog a lil evry morn. hee.. not my usual habit to start the day as i usu prefer to blog at nite when my mental activity is the highest, which perhaps explain why it may be kinda hard for me to sleep early at nite stimes.
yest was an enjoyable day. went with auntie for lunch at NIE n on our way back, a young boy stopped me to introduce to me what his project group has done. sth he called as Claymation. being with auntie, i cldnt stop long, so i promised the boy tt i wld come back again. n i did, with some mentos sweets (courtesy of my undergrad student who bought it for the lab. but i felt tt my lab cld do with less sugar. hehh..). the boy did not rmbr me, but the kids were a joyful bunch when they took turn to explain to me about their project. n i did not get to see their happy faces when they get the sweets as i only passed them over to another boy who went to get water and met me on his way back to group. yet i'm sure they wld b glad to receive treats of any sort.
then during my jap class (oh, did i mention that i took up a preparatory course for JLPT 3? well, me gg to sit for the exam end of tis year. :)), i seemed to do better now. scored 10 out of 13 for my listening, which was an awful bad score when i first tried out for it. hee.. tho i usu get an awful headache after class, mb bcos i focus too hard n too much info. guess i'm not made for student life anymore, eh..
at nite, went for dinner n a drink session with the group from Pho Hua last time. been ages since i last sat n drank at the same table with good ol' Rum. it was a good time, but i mus admit my drinking tolerance has gone a great notch down. 2 1/2 glass n i'm quite a goner. it's the usual symptom of blood gushing out of my head, displaced by the alcohol, n i felt cold all over my forehead. i cld imagine tt beads of cold sweat wld form next if i'm to drink more. n of cos, i had a very good nite's sleep at a remarkably earlier time than usual. hee..
...to make one happy, just make someone happy...
