Thanks
I give thanks
Not only for
What I have
But also for
What I will
Soon come
To find.

I give thanks
For trials
And tribulations
That have to
Be overcome.

I give thanks
For the test
That must
Be passed.

I give thanks
For happiness
And pain.
No matter the
Emotion - I
Give thanks
Just the same.

hi everyone! happy new year! (im 10 days late, i know). i suppose i should be blogging coz there has been a significant change in my life and yet surprisingly there's no comment from me, surprisingly.

so how's RJ? you might be asking, or you might not care, but neither do i, i'm talking about it anyway. haha. i'm in BAYLEY WADDLE, yellow house, BW3, L'chaud. for the uninformed, chaud means "hot" in French. so yah, we're HOT. my ogls are very good. considering that i've been involved in three sec school orientations, these two ogls, timo and nanett are realli good. from the bottom of my heart. strangely tho, they so remind me of tiffany and brynner. except timo is less bitchy than brynner. i had a rough start to rj life coz i was sick, physically sick and schoolsick. how can you enjoy games when you are sick right?

so anw, before i go on, i should just say something in defence of ri and rgs ppl. they are not half as bad as people make them out to be. they are actually pretty friendly and outgoing. yes, sometimes they do tend to stick to their groups but they do make an effort to talk to you.

my first day in rjc and i was already regretting coming here. there was a swarm of ri-ers and rgs-ers, and when they did this rafflesian cheer and all the non-rafflesians were cheering and stomping around, i made up my mind that i should go to vj, where my fellow ahsians are populating. i couldnt wait for orientation to be over and so i could just transform myself into some nerd and bury myself in books, away from civilisation and from rafflesians. but, slowly but surely things started looking better and brighter, the external activities were the first time i really felt that i liked my og. seriously, it is so not easy for me to just transplant myself from my haven of anglican high into this whole new environment filled with singapore's top brains with unparralled talent to boot. who says you cant have it all? thank God for ppl who talked with me and made me feel like i could be talked to.

that said, orientation is over. bittersweet will be the best way to describe it. there were fun times and there were agonising times, times when i wished the ground could just open up and swallow my freaking head. still, i have grown to become more fond of rjc and rafflesians alike. now that lessons have begun, im actually missing the games. still, there's much adaptation to do. the culture is still pretty much different from dear, beloved ahs.

God was definitely my strength in helping me to tide over the difficult transition. He was always there when i prayed for joy and strength. and certainly jc has helped me to become closer to Him. my msn nick is my favourite verse at the moment: "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. (JER 29:11)". what beautiful words.

there is still about a month before o levels come out. apparently it's 5-9 Feb, within that week. so, it's really soon. till then, i have alot of decisions to make. should i stay in rjc? should i change? if i do, where do i go to? should i drop ki? arrgh. lots of decisions. lots of questions, no one knows the answer but God.

to wrap up, rjc has left a great impression on me and cleared long-held misunderstandings. changing to jc has also drawn me closer with God, and made me appreciate how much i am attached to ahs and how good God has been to me.

To God be the glory.

Auspicium Mellioris Aevi. (LOL)
