Sigh, only when under such tight constraints of battery life and time, to i decide to do the most utterly useless thing of blogging....
Haha, oh well... i'm now in transit in Taipei and waiting for a 10.50p.m. flight. so decided to put up a notice to everyone that i'm not in Singapore.
Will be spending the next 3 weeks in America (the US of A) 26th of May to 17th June. Quite sad really, it can't be just an all out holiday, cuz i come back to a week before the JCTs, which means i have brought all my work with me, and will be mugging during the free time i have.
Still, am going to enjoy this holiday, afterall, am meeting relatives and going camping (that i'm actually quite looking forward to, my dad too!) So don't think any silly work can bog me down.
Anyway, i'll keep this short. I will be missing all of you back home in S'pore! haha, but now come to think of it, i have to get a whole bunch of things for everyone back home. lets see... what's cheap, easy to get, and representative of New Mexico.... i know! I'll bring back home for everyone.... MEXICANS! :D hope you like them!

You just might find, you get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want (but you try!)
You can't always get what you want
But if you try, sometimes,
You just might find,
You get what you need!
The acoustice portion in the front is to die for! JD Fortune is an excellent front man for INXS.
Had my daily dose of Happy Stick, and also a fair slice of real life. But like they say, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.
And so starts as a whole new path unfolds in front of me. I realise i tend to take the road less travelled, be it by choice, or by circumstance...

Ohana
I've come back from council camp, so i guess that is something worth blogging about. I forgot that council is not just about what you can do for the school, or the things you can change or even the events you plan. Fundamentally, council is about the people.
Perhaps, with my relisation, i have a few more things to consider before i jump into anything, or even jump to conclusions. but those stuff i can/should/need to handle on my own, no need to say too much here.
Council camp was quite good. sure there was a lot of pain involved, with all the physical training and the time limits and such. and even today, on tuesday, i believe some parts of my body are still sleeping and aching. However, there were times where it really pulled out the team spirit of the whole group, some of which i do agree with, but some that i do not necessarily mesh with.
I learnt something from council camp. on the night of the campfire, many of the seniors came back. i recognised people all the way from the 25th to the 29th Councils, and i bet they recognised me too. Yet, i didn't seem to be able to talk and really connect with them. there were a few of course, like some of the 28th, after all, they were the ones that conduct my nomination period, and i am grateful for them being there. the one that surprised me quite a bit was the 29th, perhaps they were busy trying to catch up with each other, but i kind of felt like i did not know them anymore, and neither did they know me.
the thought has passed through my head that even though i may know a lot of people, how many of these relationships are deep, and how many more are transient. When i leave this school, is what i am going to leave behind purely material, or will people remember me for who i am, and for being their friend?
I know where i want to start. I want to really get to know my Babies, because sure it might have only been a game back last year, but they have grown on me in a way, and seeing htem always makes me cheery! Speaking of which, it was yanting's birthday on Sunday (last day of camp) and it was nice to be able to spend it with her (even if it was while we were all half dead) and give her a present.
TJ has become my home, and i would like to create the people i deem family. When i leave TJ, it will be this people i can always talk to again, even when not in school boundaries. That is the kind of meaningful relations i would like to make, and it needs to start with me.
I just keep learning and learning. there is just so muc more to know.
Ohana~ means family, and family means no body gets left behind :)
