8 days elapsed into the new year and much has already happened within this time. Spent the past few days crashing orientation, feels sooo different coming back as an alumni. teachers come around and say stuff like, " you people arh, no life is it ?!",or "you evil people. keep confusing poor old me, making me think you are all J1s skipping class" and stuff like "you people who just can't graduate." feels as if the once hostile and stressful atmosphere is gone for good. somehow school feels more like home. when circumstances take awayall the familiar faces and surroundings, it just makes me feel weird not to be in school, not to be in the company of friends. i guess you start to treasure what you have. it's of no wonder people say,
" you know when you've found it, cos you feel it when it's gone!"yuppp.

anyway, this time round my OG was called DRAGON! yeah !! twas huixian's OG. haha. the first 2 days were kindda slow cos everyone hasn't really gotten into the whole mood of orientation, still in the process of warmin up. day 3 came and woah, suddenly i see a bunch of extremely enthu kids screamin their lungs out. we ended the day watchin the choir perform at the "tearin down christmas tree ceremony"(sorry! haven't got a clue what its called besides it being the 12th day of christmas)
yeah! finally, day 4, the last day of orientation came and this time, it is sooo obvious that everyone had a good time, treasurin each second that they can spend with their fellow OGmates. the OG time at myron's house was sooo good that none of us actually wanted to return for the campfire. can you believe it ? haha. never thought it would ever happen.
thought the program for campfire was really boring though. nothing like the previous years. well i'm not discreditin anyone for their efforts, but perhaps we could see a change in the emcee, cos the slang coming from someone really doesn't go well with the whole thing. it's no wonder why people started to leave alr. (alumni i mean) yeah.. i think the only factor makin everyone stay behind was the thought of dancing, something everyone practiced really hard for. yupp.
interesting interesting. thought it was a pity tho that the dance time was really short, but perhaps it was a blessin in disguise cos it allowed us to go out to have supper together. yuppp. it was really funn, played all the retarded games and all.
couldn't wait for today to come cos i missed the OG quite a bit already. haha.
it was a good day, talked to them quite a fair bit. met up with Ai Ling for dinner. brought home 2 important thoughts. firstly, she made me realise how God have placed random people in my life to remind and support me though i had sorta distant myself from the fellowship in church, using them, he Himself gently tuggin on the rope to prevent me from goin astray. secondly, he made me realise how interesting funny some of my thoughts/theory were. i thought thinkin through certain matters over a long period of time would ensure that the loopholes are covered, at least most of them. but boy, i learnt how flawed it was. thinkin that protecting somebody more was to think for that person and do more, but never did it occur to me that i could actually be bringing about more harm.
