hit me like a ray of sun.
its been quite a month, with changes to adjust to & things to think about. its scary to think that exams are barely a month away & yet there's heaps of work to do before that. with the end of another semester looming ahead, thinking about the future seems to be something that often comes up. anyway, my 10th of October was somewhat exciting (:
+ there was a gathering planned at Melanie's new place to celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival (though we were a week late). & it was pot bless.
+ i had decided to make spring rolls, without realizing i had to make enough for 30 people. lol but thankfully Michelle had volunteered to help me out. she stayed over after ocf & supper and made her konnyaku jelly before we slept.
+ so we woke bright & early to roll & cook the spring rolls. (: they tasted pretty good (:
+ thank God for my dearest buddy (:
+ Michelle went off to work & i lazed around & caught up on Private Practice before collapsing to sleep & do work before the gathering.
+ This was probably the most elaborate pot bless, cos everyone's food looked so good! there was muah chee made by Sok Jhin
+ Honey Joys/ Honey Rock made by Siong (: & Swiss Roll with strawberry & mango by Cheryl. & loads more.
+ i loved Wen Hui's oxtail stew! & curry by Caleb! :D
+ after dinner & dessert, out came the lightsticks & sparklers!
+ that was when everyone started going a little mad. lol thats Jeannie (the new head of ocf) & Marcus. lol
+ my prized picture of the night! heh
+ thats Max the flyyy & Lynn. yeah, we went a little mad. lol
+ overall it was a pretty awesome evening. (: i enjoyed it a lot. (: & the chinese students who came did too (:
okay, ten random things:
1. a group of us went to the Operation Christmas Child warehouse to help out. Operation Christmas Child is by Samaritan's Purse where they collect shoeboxes of stuff to distribute to children in poor countries as gifts for christmas (: it was great fun cos it felt very much like working in santa's workshop! (:
2. there were several graduations (: Esther, Momo & Andrew (: it was nice to see Momo again & its always exciting to celebrate with someone who graduates (:
3. i seriously am craving popcorn. i think its cos my lecturer brought it up during lecture yesterday. heh did you know popcorn's actually good for you? it gives you lots of antioxidants which you need. just fyi.
4. i have days where i listen to Jamie Cullum continuously. its calming.
5. i've been playing guitar quite often for ocf. so much so that whenever i hear i song i sometimes start strumming to myself like a weirdo. also, i've declared one of the guitarists in church as my role model, he strums with his thumb alone & its so loud! (:
6. i was in school doing work a few nights ago, & i actually moved forward instead of being stuck. yayy! (:
7. i'm dying to read a book & sometime in the middle of the afternoon i daydream of getting lost in a bookstore. if only i had the time, sigh.
8. fruit tarts remind me of the 88s at weddings. (: i always remember when i pass a bakery. (:
9. one presentation down & 2 more to go, i wonder if i'm going to survive! ): but i'm quite happy with our final product. THANK GOD !! for bringing us this far. i finally feel that we've got something (: would you eat it? (:
10. the temperature's going up, i can feel SUMMMMERRR (: lol, i cant wait to hit the beach! :D
& thats life for now. (: back to reading journal articles & spoiling my eyes. hope everyone's good!
