Merdeka Night...A loooooong Night

Yesterday night was Merdeka Night organized by MSA. Many Malaysian students in NTU gathered together to celebrate national day. The program for the night was great, performance, games, and the sketch was really a good one!! Thumbs up to the committee and seniors. Will upload some pictures next time k =)

After the event, most of the OG decided to go for supper. Our group was abit undecisive but finally went supper around 1am. After supper thought it was time to go back, but instead we went to ADM building again, this time on the roof, and sit there and talked for hours. Shared some of this and that with each other. Some were sleepy but still enjoyed the talk and the cool wind on top of the building.

This is the view of the ADM building from far. Took this picture on my way down from Nanyang House. There is the roof where we sat and talked.

Finally at 5.30am we decided to make a move, some were too exhausted so went back to their room. The rest??? since in an hour time we can see the sun rise, we chose to stay and wait for it. We walked to Nanyang House which is somewhere higher to have a better view. Continue talking while waiting. Too bad it was too cloudy and we weren't able to see the sun rise, but the view there is still beautiful.

Some were too tired and they fell asleep

The process.. See the colour of the sky changing..

Around 7am, we finally walked back to our own room and have some rest. And it started raining in the morning, and lasted the whole afternoon. The weather was so cooling.

Hmm.. really enough of fun for the week. Time to study d..

*Thank God for His wonderful and beautiful creation, for never leaving me when I'm alone, for taking care of my loved ones when I'm not around. Thank God for who He is*

Birthday on a WET day

Hi everyone, was back in Singapore on Wednesday. Trying to catch up with my studies yet I didn't get to do much. Athena having a gathering cum birthday celebration for two members, so we had steamboat for dinner together at Hall 8. I went there around 7pm to help prepare the food, then waited for people to arrive and the soup to boil.

The ingredients we had


Cooking pot


So we had our dinner together, everyone fellowship and enjoyed the food together.

After dinner, we celebrated Sin Ying and Kuan Chuang's birthday. Sin Ying's on the 28th and Kuan Chuang's on the 30th. Sang the birthday song and played awhile with birthday boy and girl.

It was already past 11pm, we were too noisy till the hall office people came and ask us to leave in 10 minutes. So we changed venue and went to Arts, Design and Media building (ADM). It is the nicest building you can find in NTU, but too bad it was dark so can't take picture of it. You can actually climb up the roof of this building and enjoy the scenery from up there. Romantic place though. Will take picture of it next time and show you all. This is what I got:

Can see the pond/pool there

There's this tradition in NTU where they will throw birthday boys and girls into the pool(or rather a pond) during their birthday celebration. So the guys started pulling each other into the pond, then later got the girls in also. Of course I was not exempted. All wet, we walked back to our room and it was really cold coz the wind was blowing. Finally get back to my room, bathe, washed my clothes and start blogging.

*sorry for the blur pictures coz the only camera i have with me is my phone*

Anyway I got to remind myself to study. Many things to catch up and do. STUDY YAPEI!!!

Class at 8.30am later. This time i will wake up. Nights all =)

Priority

What is your priority in your life?? Ever wonder?

Try to list down the things that are important to you, it can be God, family, friends, studies, gf/bf, your car etc. After listing it down, arrange it, putting the one that is most important to you first and so on. What is first in your list?

We can conclude our priority based on the list we made. However, we can know easily whether the list we made is true or not base on our actions. Everything we do can reflect what is most important to us. If something is less important to you, you probably would not spend time putting your attention to it, or just simply neglect it. From ones action we can see how much effort they put on certain things and how they value it.

Your choice.

Home !!!

I'm home...

Am happy to be at my home sweet home.

Am happy although just a short time spent.

Am happy get to sleep on my bed.

Am happy to see my loved ones.

Am happy now.

=) =) =) =)

Am tired....sleep

Experience

Hey all, I'm currently in Changi Airport, waiting to board my flight to go home =) One and a half hour more to wait. Woke up at 8 today, kinda blur in the morning coz i went supper with my OG members and slept at 3am yesterday. Took me an hour time in the MRT to reach the airport. This is my first time going to Changi airport. Feeling abit lonely though. What an experience to travel all the way here alone, searching my way to the right terminal not knowing how before hand. Haha.

I didn't post anything for the last two days coz went to the welcome tea for Campus Crusade for Christ and Christian Fellowship. I'm still considering which group to join, but most probably will go for Christian Fellowship as there are more Malaysians there. Yet to know more and get involved in it. After 2 weeks not attending church, it feels great to get to fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and worship the Lord.

Throughout the two fellowship, I was reminded that I came here to NTU not just as a student, not to forget that I came here as a Christian also. God called us as a Christian first, then a student. Not asking you to neglect your studies, but in the mist of working hard to do well, we can make a difference in the life of others also. We as students, our campus can be our mission field, a place to show God's love to others and bring friends to know Christ. I admit it's easy to say than to do it, but let's try our very best. (correct me if i said anything wrong)

My flight is at 2.05pm. Hope it won't be delayed. Want to go home. Miss everything back at home, and I WANT TO EAT FRIED RICE!!! the fried rice in NTU is not tasty at all. Desperately need some nice fried rice. To all church and youth members, enjoy your camp yea =)

My room!!!

Time to upload some photos. Show you all some pictures of my room first. And guess what, my hall (hostel) building colour is BLUE!!! I'm glad I get this hall because it just renovated and everything is new inside. You actually need a pin number to enter the toilet and laundry room. I think is to prevent other people from using.

Two sides


My side of the room

Cupboard and cabinet

Aircond but can't use. It's for the Youth Olympic Games next year.

. . . . . . . . . .

Went to the ECA fair today again and took yet another free tee. They giving out one colour each day. So i got...

Anyway tomorrow they giving out pink colour t-shirt. Don't know do i have the time to redeem it coz timetable will be quite pack. Haha. Having fun collecting t-shirt....

Need to study and do my tutorials tonight. wasted whole night yesterday d. Bye bye =)

Free tees and out-ing

Really not in the mood to study now, no notes or tutorial questions in front of me. Someone suggested writing another post, so here it goes. haha..

NTU is having their extra curricular activities fair for 3 days. Today finally i have more time and went to take a look. Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering club was giving out goodies bag and free t-shirt, so went to get mine. Then went to collect some stamps and redeemed another goodies bag and t-shirt from student union. Got 2 tee for today =) After 'touring' the booths, i decided to register for some christian groups and piano ensemble. The audition for piano ensemble will be on next monday and tuesday but i won't be around. Hope there's a way for me to get in.

Last Saturday was the first outing with my OG after FOC. We gathered at canteen 2 for lunch then went to Bugis by MRT. It was raining but the weather was cooling after that. After reaching, GL nicholas brought us to an ice cream shop to get some nice ice cream. Then we went for shopping at Bugis street, bought a bag for $10, thanks to sin yee :)

At night we then went to Geylang for dinner. After walking a GREAT distance finally we get to sit and eat, was so tiring walking. After dinner we head on to another famous 24hours shop which sells soya bean and other taiwanese food, so sat and had my favourite cold soya bean. Suppose to go back after that but we went to explore some places instead, then end up rushing to catch the last train, if not will need to take a cab back which will be much more expensive. Reach my room about 12.30am, was tired but nice day.

Going back this Saturday to prepare for my piano exam. Want to go church camp but too bad can't join you guys. Have fun during the camp k. Sure it will be fun!!

Learning to start, starting to learn

Hi all, actually I was requested by people to start blogging since I'll be away from home. They say it's a good way to keep track on me?? Since darling Rachel keep asking me to start and even want to start a blog for me, I shall then give it a try, but no promise for frequent update k.

Although this is my 3rd week here in NTU but i would want to talk bout my orientation 1st. Freshman Orientation Camp (FOC) is organized by Malaysia Students' Association in NTU. First few days was busy settling admin procedures then with activities at night. The theme is ODYSSEY this year and my orientation group (OG) is called 'Athena'. Thank God that I joined this camp, I get to know friends and seniors, get to know more about the campus, get to do crazy stuff by the roadside of Singapore. Although every night will end up very tiring but it was really a great camp. Till now we still gather quite often for outings or dinner. Class started last week. Wasn't that busy but it will soon coz tutorial starting this week.

Definitely I felt homesick and even wanted to give up the first 2 weeks, yet i'm still here blogging. Haha.. how funny when thinking bout it. Just like i shared before this, I will trust God and continue on. =)

So yea.. There are too many orientation pictures, can't possibly upload all here, so below is the link, feel free to check it out. Enjoy :)
