Yes... After 2 months plus of long holiday, finally it has come to an end and a new sem is about to begin... A lot of things has happened during this holiday, got ups & downs... Got very happening times, as well as very dark times... But I am just glad that God is always with me throughout those moments... Once again, I am quite sorry for not updating my blog all these while... So I decided to list down most of the events which happened...(those i still remembered.. hehe...)
- Hope Tertiary District Church Camp: "Finding Fishermen's Friend" (22-24th May @ Changi Aloha)
This is my 1st time joining district camp, and also my 1st time getting to know some brothers and sisters from the NYC group... I must say the whole camp was both fun as well as relaxing... Because, unless usual camps, which everyone has to squeeze into a small chalet to sleep, each small grp of us got a whole big chalet by ourselves! Everyone got himself a nice warm bed to sleep! It definitely reminds me of the Church Camp I went last yr, which was really a good undistracted period whereby u can experience God's presence!
(Everyone having "The Passover" on the "mountain")
-Zhichun's 21st Birthday Party (25th June @ Zhichun's house)
Went together with michelle and ellson that day... Haha, what a coincidence the 4 of us were wearing 2 bright red & bright yellow tops! Got a last minute bd gift for zhichun... (which is yet to be done... =p)
- KTV gathering session with JC friends (1st Jun @ Cuppage Party World)
Yes... Met up with my buddy Zhiyun, really been awhile nv catch up with her liao... together with Eric and Yuenqi (special guest-appearance... lol..) After KTV, Junjie managed to join us for dinner, as well as a fun & hilarious moments together at MINDS Cafe... Haha... Should really try them with ur friends someday if you haven...
- Eunice & Oilver's Wedding Day (17th Jun @ Westley Church)
1st time attending a church wedding, and it's sister Eunice from my ex-unit... =) Really felt happy for her and her husband Oilver... Also get to see my other ex-unit pple after awhile... A happy occasion to lift up my mood after some very down moments... Thank God!
-Many many Alpha Meetings... (throughout the holidays @ all over Singapore... lol)
Haha, should say Alpha meetings took up most of my holiday time ba... But it was fun and fruitful to really be able to serve in the ministry, esp together with my program team pple Jiadai, Huili & Dominic... It has been a mind-draining time of brain-storming of ideas after ideas after ideas, but it was definitely memorable and rewarding when the events eventually turned up well and enjoying for everybody.... Managed to take some photos with jiadai & huili during our 'slack' moments, to cover up our hardship... lol...
-Alpha Camp Recee Day (9th July @ Changi Aloha & Ubin)
Another memorable day... Not to mention the heavy pouring down of rain during our trip to Ubin, where everyone is being drenched nearly from head to toe... Managed to take some photos... But the highlights were recorded as videos, which i may post here in future (if got chance)
-Alpha Camp (12-14th July @ Changi Aloha)
I just the few highlights of the camp will be our Treasure Hunt @ Ubin & DotA LIVE Game on the 2nd day... Too bad I miss the treasure hunt due to my drama rehearsal... But the DotA LIVE was really a great fun experience, I guessed I had quite a great sense of achievement when everybody was enjoying the game, as the game was painfully brainstormed-cum-testing by both Ellson & I... (Sorry to the sisters who just participated in the throwing of water bombs, haha, but i guessed they had their own fun!) But personally, I felt that the most memorable moments throughout the camp will be during the 2nd nite, where the Alpha camp is officially over and some of us started our NON-STOP praise & worship session. People included were Jan, Michelle, Xinying, Dominic, myself... But slowly more people started to join in and it became like a mini concert! Everyone was so joyfully singing P&W, it was like a disco nite (except that the songs were all P&W!) For a moment, I did imagine this senario would be something which may happen when we are in heaven, where everyone is just praising the Lord over & over again... It went on from 10pm all the way till nearly 4am+!!! What an experience!
[Realised I didn't actually took photos during the camp, too busy liao... Keke]
-CG Overdrive Conference 2006 (14-16th July @Expo Hall)
If I can only use one word to describe my experience in this CG conference, I would say "EYE-OPENER!!!" It was so amazing to listen to the speech and sharing by all the animators from all over the world, including famous companies like PIXAR, ILM, Rubix Cube, etc... It was also glad and exciting to know that the gaming & animation industry is going to raise up in the upcoming years, which means I should have quite a big opportunity to advance in this field of work when I graduate... This conference really spur my interest on to be inspired to start my CG path...
-"开庭审爱" Drama rehearsals (throughout rest of the remaining holidays @ NUS CFA)
Small Production + Small Crew = Extra-Multi-Tasking for every single crew... Actor-cum-Backstage Crew-cum-Image Crew-cum-Props Maker-cum-Stage Manager-cum-Simulated Audience! I must say this production is indeed an unique one, managed to have closer friendship with the drama people: Zhichun, Zhixia, Huiqiu, Aiwei, Yuefeng, Jinsen, Jinwei, Chenqin, Trey, Benny, Jiawei, Audrey, Weijia... 大家辛苦了!
