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.

so this is how i'm spending my last june holidays, OF MY LIFE! how time flies. now that im in my second year of jc, i'm actually 'enjoying' the last june holidays of my life. and i'm spending it mugging. arrgh. in primary school, june holidays meant going on overseas trips, usually to malaysia. and being young and ignorant, such trips were a big deal. in secondary school, the june holidays meant extra cca and tons of camps and not forgetting the awesome student camp. overseas holidays became less frequent and malaysia trips less enticing. now i'm in jc, the june holidays have turned into little more than a mugfest. which is terrible sad really, considering the competition we're facing now, as students.

the older you get, the more work you have to do and the word 'holiday' no longer carries the same feelings of elation and joy at the prospect of a prolonged period of slacking. alas, this is life. how shall i change society? or shall society change me? nevertheless, i am thankful for parents who never felt that a childhood should be ruined by endless mugging and enrichment classes. my parents let me enjoy my june holidays, or most holidays for that matter, for most of my growing-up years. there was the occasional and inevitable nagging to 'do your homework', but my parents never checked, so i could get away without doing any. they thankfully never sent me to any enrichment camps or science camps or whatever nonsense camps they have nowadays to scam poor suffering kids and their kiasu parents. they let me go for cca camps, student camps, church camps, youth camps, etc, which were proper camps for the holidays. so i do feel sorry for the poor children who are whisked off to enrichment class after enrichment class, who have extra tuition and have to attend retarded 'learning camps' where i reckon they dont learn much besides how to hate learning.

sadly, the reality of jc life means that i have to hunker down and mug during this precious four-week break. i've basically squandered most of it, looking back at what happened over the past three weeks. that's me i guess, always putting things off till the last minute. it is quite a sad way to go out, as in go out of my last june holidays ever, by mugging...haiz...

a highlight of the past three weeks has to be church camp, which was at the very cool awana genting. thank God it wasnt as cold as i was expecting it to be, and the view was gorgeous. but those aside, thank God for what He did at the camp, touching lives and being a youth leader and seeing how much the youth have changed and how much more enthusiastic they are for God, it is really heartening. i do hope that this carries on. i guess time will tell.

another highlight would be i guess the class cip to botanic gardens. the kids were really cute. and having worked with them before, i thought it was a nice thing to go back and interact with them again. also, it was good that most of the class turned up for this one, so we all had a fun time together.

anw, i lost my wallet. it's heartbreaking because it was my 18th birthday present from my dear council frens. also, i had inside it my ezlink card, popular card, and sentimental stuff like my SMU card, my movie ticket stub collection, 4J neoprints and the 38th exco card. haiz...it was really devastating to lose it. well, i guess you win some, you lose some, eh...

shan't write anymore, just post some photos:
