HELLOOOO Oh my gosh it's been almost 2 months since my last post. OPPS! My bad. But hey, I have been caught up with many more busy things, as much as fun things. Let's start this post with a simple HELLO I'M BACK and i'll try to keep this blog alive (i sure hope i can ugh, seeing the amount of assignments coming up, with tests and worse of all, EXAMINATIONS in another 3-4 weeks time) So yeah imma get kicking!
For starters, let's see what happened after my birthday. Hmm, trying to dig my brain out, searching through the 'files' for memories of what happened after my birthday. Well what i can remember is typically my last week of school. Well, Term 1 to be exact. WOOPIE and i had the worst experience ever HAHA
The last week of my Term 1, my Bio teacher dropped out and probably retired or gone off to teach somewhere else or something and I had a new teacher, who was the other teacher who taught Bio in the college. So it was only the second class with this teacher and the last class for the Term and I made a super bad impression, like seriously.
I woke up on that morning, as bright as 8am since class started at 8.45am. My alarm rang and I awoken. I was a ted bit tired and decided to sleep in for a while. So offed the alarm and went back to sleep for a while. In my mind, it felt like a 5 minute nap. But when I woke up, OMG 9am.
I rushed out of bed, showered like in 5 minutes, changed, took off with my bag and just went off to college which amazingly and thankfully just 5 minutes walk away. Just to be technically correct, the distance between my house and the college is just separated by a tiny road which could fit a car (coz it was a one lane sorta thing, or is it a two-way? o.o)
Anyways, I dashed out and made my way to the class. Knocked on the door and went in. Taking only a step in, I was asked to wait outside. My teacher was explaining about the plan for our investigation and stuff, which was done by us for our end-of-the-year assessment. Basically, it's an investigation where we have to plan out from the hypothesis to problem statement to the carrying out of the experiment to the results and up until the conclusion and stuff so yeah. FUN! -Not really ...
Upon that response, I was calm and stepped back out. I wanted to wait at the door but I don't want to look like a dog, waiting for it's owner to open the door so I could come in or something. So i decided to sit by the wall, on the bench and I literally took out my Biology book and just started reading. Little did I know, it has been 30 minutes sitting outside and i saw my classmates coming out for a toilet break. Astonished to see me, they were like "I think he forgot about you" My side of the story was that I was afraid that I would annoy the teacher by standing outside or knocking on the door again coz they might just lash out at me, which in some experiences, it did happen, just not to me XD
But yeah, my friend helped to knock on the door (after her toilet break, that is)and went " Hey, there's a guy outside, waiting?" My teacher went "OH!" and he came all the way out, apologized for forgetting about me and asked the reason why I was late. I, of course, blamed it on my alarm clock, which was technically true :P And went into the class, having an hour of class gone already == FYI I arrived at class at 9.15am (So picture me, getting up at 9am, showered and went to school in that amount of time) I swear, that was the fastest shower I've ever had. Anyways, to end the story, class was as usual and I sorta got made fun of but hey, that's the consequences for sleeping in heh
Besides that, the holidays were vast approaching. I mean it was just my final week and we had Good Friday so Friday was a holiday (thumbs up!) and so was the rest of the next 2 1/2 weeks. Best thing yet, I managed to go home, like back to KUCHING! Biggest birthday present ever (well I requested it but hey, it's almost the same? ;) )
Plans for being back home was just an abrupt idea before my birthday after discussing it with Dawn and she gave me the inspiration to ask my mum whether I could go back and thank goodness and surprisingly, Mama agreed! HAHA so yes, i went back for 14 days, exactly 2 weeks. Homesickness was crazy but manageable. Ok, I made a video of memories but hey, I really did miss home. Not the place, the people!
SO my journey begins with packing on Friday night, having a house unit dinner the night before I left, not coz they were sending me off or anything, it was just that they wanted to have this alumni house unit meet-up thing where they eat with those who used to stay in Vickery before and stuff like that so yeah. It was ... fun hahaha Packed 2 bags and a small hand carry, went off to my pastor's place for the night, which was kind of him to offer me. Drove up to his house for the night, in a tiny corner of the room, with a blue mattress on the floor and nothing else. Thank goodness he asked me to bring over a pillow, if not, I'd be having a major neck-ache the next day, I swear!
So I sleep for 4 hours, went off to the airport at 4.30am. Checked in my luggage and went off for some mini breakfast at Red Rooster. Boarded the plane and off I flew over to KL at 6am-ish. Sat next to this wonderful lady who was traveling down to KL for 5 days and then another 5 days at KK. She was super kind and sociable. Blessed to have met her and her husband :)
Flight arrived in KL at 12pm-ish and I was like some first-time plane rider to KL airport or something like that, which was technically true coz i never did travel alone before. But I made my way in LCCT, so I'm not so noob after all :D HAHA PROUD! So another grueling 1 hour and 45 minutes in the flight from 4-ish to 6-ish in the evening. Arrived safe and sound in Kuching, got my bag and off i went, in search of my transport.
Dad and my two brothers came over and picked me to go over for dinner. Glorious dinner at Sarawak Club just as soon as I touched down. Mmmm butter prawn (Y) THE BOMB! woots!And yeah, after dinner, went home and gave mum and sis what they wanted from Perth. Sis wanted the drinking chocolate thingy while mum wanted sour cream for quiche. (mmm Mama's quiche is the bomb! MA NI FIQUE! Sorry for the bad French teehee)
After that, a shower was taken and then Facebooking became the night's activity with posting of statuses of being back and the joy of it. Yes, it felt great haha The best thing was Oliver offered to bring me out to supper which was like the creme de la creme of being back. He picked me up at 11pm, along with Bernard in the car and we went off to Peach Garden for a mini supper. We had to go home early coz Bernard was tired from choir and Ollie had class the next day so yeah :) But really a nice night though :)
Back at home, it was sleep and Facebook for that night and for the rest of the next day on Monday coz everyone was in school and I was the only one there, having a holiday LOL But Tuesday came as fast as possible and at night, it was supper time with Dawn. She picked me up after the dentist appointment I had with my brother, which the condition of my teeth was sorta bad, up to the extend of wondering if I wanted surgery for one of the teeth. But anyways, supper with Dawn was awesome, with the accompaniment of Jess whom I haven't seen in ages as well, besides the fact that we did Skype with each other and with Yong, Karen and Eli before going back home. It was nice, having the old time chit chat about what's happening in each other's lives and just new experiences.
The night came to an end for an early rest though the next day was a holiday, thanks to the Hari Keputeraan of the new Sultan. Later that night, went out with my brother for supper down at Empire and met with most of the Empowered gang. Hugs and kisses were exchanged and we saling bertanyakan khabar. It was nice to be back I guess :)
So yeahhhh and Wednesday marked the day when I spent the next days till the end of the trip with my church friends. Wednesday morning was filled with videoshooting down at the amphitheater with Rex, Pius, Bernard and Ollie. Later that afternoon we went down to Taska Mana, to settle the video files and went off for snooker for relaxation. Next, we went to church coz I wanted to attend mass (coz I was guilty of missing Easter Triduum- Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday) Nevertheless, went for mass and Anastasia was playing the piano and Pius was asked to sing. It was a great time, I'd say. Wednesday night I went out with Kak Jah and Didi (who was back from KL for 1 month and didn't know I was back) Surprised her in the car and we exchanged our "ahhhh!" hahaha funny times :)
Thursday was day that Daniel brought me out to school and later that afternoon, we went to meet with Dawn and her classmates, as well as Jess and James. Followed James down for physiotherapy due to his injury from basketball. YIKES! Nevertheless, had a marvelous chat and some clarification of stories I've heard, from personal life to study life to just many things :) Then off to school to collect my oral slips for SPM and I got to meet with some of the YCS gang who apparently had a meeting then :P
Later that night when I went off to see the ER dance practice! It was good to see dance after so longggggg and spent time with Kak Jah :) Followed by the next day was the day I went to Spring to meet with Kolly, Nat Choo, Elaine and Angel. Haven't seen those girls for quite some time! Went for ice-cream and chit chat while walking around in Spring, the usual ;) Then at night, it was Youth time and was helping out at the help desk with the T-shirts. New faces were seen, even the Admin crew has changed haha It was the same, yet it felt a lil different, if you get what I mean. It's like the Admin team is still there, just different faces XD
Youth went on as usual just that I wasn't serving that much anymore so I could sit down with the usual gang who sat and listened to the speaker's teaching for that Friday. After Youth, went off to McD for supper. Had supper with Jason and Aaron whom I haven't seen for ages too. So we caught up with what happened in school and stuff and then it was time to go home.
Saturday and Sunday evenings were packed with masses and especially on Saturday night, there was a potbless for servants and volunteers of ER2012. Families were welcome and I went to have fellowship and helped set up the table and stuff. Watched them play games like Pictionary to Name Bomb (or something along those lines) Was watching coz I sat with Iain by the projector and laptop, just coz I wasn't feeling the groove of playing games that night.
Monday was a brand new start and I went for the ER dance practice again. Tuesday was prayer night for ER2012. Funny thing is, I didn't go up for prayers teehee, even when they asked for Admin and for people who haven't received prayers for the night. I was like super pai seh to go up so just remained rooted on my seat XD Iain was so sweet to pray over me during the last prayer so yeah, felt blessed.
Wednesday afternoon, I went off for badminton with the YCS gang- Claudia, James, Ralph, Bry, Doro, Ju, Alistair, Josh and a new friend, Erica. Played a few rounds, got the hang of the games but hey, my mind's sorta blank from the rules and stuff d LOL Thursday night was ER dance prac again, followed by WCO on Friday. Saturday was at mass again for promo booth and then time just zoomed pass SOOO fast :( On Sunday I had to leave already :( So reluctantly, packed on Friday night and Saturday night, (oh on Saturday, the night before I left, I had the mind to take on the chance to go and watch Battleship at 10.45pm and the movie ended 2 hours plus later, so around 12+ nearing 1am, went home and did final packing and slept around 2am) and then on Sunday morn at 4am, i had to wake up and went off to the airport for the 6am flight again and flew to KL and then back to Perth :( Bid goodbye to everyone like during Youth so yeah.
Not forgetting Pete's surprise celebration for his birthday on Thursday night :) And just many more great memories. Thanks for making Kuching the best trip ever, despite I have been there for 17 years and I wanted to leave so badly. But honestly, I miss everyone back there :'( Just hope everyone is doing fine and good in everything :)
Thus I should end this post. It's been a long 2 hours (well almost) and I needa sleep, class starts at 10.50am tomorrow but what the heck I need rest too :) Nights people! Praying for ER2012 that's coming up in another 1 week+ ALL THE BEST! The Lord will provide :) Jeremiah 29:11!
