haven't been updating for a very long time, but no one ever visits my blog, except that Marie does now. and it is also because of her I'm actually posting. so if there's anyone reading this, thank Marie.
many things happened this holiday. APLYC 8 retreat, working at SITEX, APLYC 8, holiday to KL and finally council retreat. i have to say many of these experiences shown me the world in one way or another. i can proudly say that money is seriously not easy to earn. imagine standing at an average of 12 hours a day for 4 days with an estimated amount of $180 and you'll know why, at least I've got 2 Lenovo shirts free. but its the experience that counts, so no hard feelings. APLYC 8 was simply fabulous. "Many Lives, One Mission" was the theme, and helping my Alma mater is one thing I truly enjoy doing. 12 countries all came to Singapore for this lasallian congress. share, care and reflect was the aim, and we the organising team influenced them and achieved it. many friends were made from all walks of life , friendships rekindled and even though I was the only one from my class of 2006 to help out, I didn't felt left out, but more close to my juniors like never before. Working for the secretariat at the secretariat shop was fun, with all the rushing to meet deadlines proved to be manageable, except we slept at around 4-5a.m. everyday. Xian Yi, Kendrick, Kenny Yap, Edmund, Lennon & Richard; thank you for the cheap thrill gossips, bitching sessions and support during that whole week, and it was an eye-opener to how open you guys are. Fiona Xie laminates, WHAT THE MOM swearing and that dance instructor. hahahahahaha. finally i would to affirm the hong kong delegates, especially to 4 of them; Felix, Nikki, Christy & Johnson for the very late night conversations. it was fun and enjoyable talking to you guys about stuff i would never dreamt asking. and talking to you guys improved my cantonese alot, so thank you! hope I can go hong kong soon. KL was really a unforgettable trip, besides it being a bad experience, it really reflects on how cruel life can be and the ugly side of people. the hotel manager arrogant, taxi drivers obnoxious and the chinatown retailers money suckers to describe them a little. there were nice people, but the bad things overshadowed the good in that city. the malays thought that they were kings or sultans, but its their country, and they do have that pro-malay policies all around the country, so you can't blame them for believing they are bigshots. enough said about KL before my thoughts get distracted. council retreat was really much more enjoyable that i imagined. it really bonded the 29 of us closer together and we had fun. haha the games especially, super duper fun and hilarious. thanks games comm for those dirty yet fun games. haha group 3 we came in 2nd! well done! mrs leong session was my favourite. affirming, sharing and reconcile was the activity and we were suppose to 1 to 1 talk with anyone. haha it was enjoyable talking to kai chuen, clare, jocelyn, nadine and ya hui! thanks for sharing. later there was bbq. I was the 'chef' and cooked alot of food. apparently pork and otah was the most popular food with the teachers and jason asking for them constantly and marie the otah which was very well done. hahaha. mr pang's session was rather reflective and I really loved the foot thing. haha I think my foot was nice :) and I rather miss the late night talks with kai chuen. just to let marie know I'm not emo okay? yes my posts are rather emotional, but that was the past. now I'm quite happy with the way things are now, knowing you and council mates made me feel alive again haha. omg that sounds corny. Satisfied I am right now. will update soon! (:
