A wonderful end to 2006
1) Metamorphosis Camp 26-30th Dec
It was a great camp to know more Crusaders from different faculties of ntu, having fun together and learning biblical lessons together. Those guys have so many silly games up their sleeves!
While on the train for Project X, the camp's outdoor street-e event, my group mates started guessing one another's schools.
All of them thought that i was from a girls' school! Ha.. Because they think I look like one. Interesting.
But of course, I am not.
I am from Riverside Sec - a school relatively unknown to 97% of Singaporeans (the 3% are Riversidians themselves).
Ok anyway, from Project X, I am also assured of my gift of street-e. guess what?
2 girls, Jiale and Jessie whom my senior and I approached, said the sinners' prayers and accepted Christ as their Friend and Saviour! Praise God. More names in the Book of Life :) For them, a loving heavenly Father to talk to now!
2) Clarke Quay + Reflections + Resolutions + 31 Dec 06 = Good time
After church service, the initial plan of going for a movie was cancelled, so we girls strolled to the riverside near clarke quay to chill.
We were just letting our hair down and having fun with the new game i taught them. The forfeit? Drawing one sushi on our hands for every mistake. Hee.
We had a time of reflection as well, reflecting on God's blessings to us this year. I looked back and say WOW! I had a fruitful year. There were ups and downs but i learned so much more to live as a person. I can't help but feel immensely satisfied with 2006.
I have resolutions but there are just too many to list down. So yea, shan't bore you all to tears.
To end 31 Dec 06 and herald 2007, mom bought sushi from ichiban boshi for supper with her vouchers! YAY! Sarah and i, at the sight of the dainty handrolls and sushi, threw our healthy eating mantra into the dustbin.
3) Great results
I checked my results on 29th Dec for my 1st uni exams. I did pretty well! I could not believe my eyes because Psychology was such a killer but i got a B! Phew. And that was my lowest grade. If this is not God's grace, I don't know what is. It kept my spirits up for the next few days!

2nd day of 2006
FAMILY FISHING & SUMPTUOUS DINNER AT "ULU" (our family code for this great zi char place)
I spent half the day fishing with my uncles, aunts and cousins at this newly-opened park at Seletar. They paid 70 bucks to fish but sadly, we didn't catch anything while the ah peks 50m away from us caught some big ones.
Boo hoo hoo. But I'll consider it money spent for family bonding.
After being fried in the afternoon sun, we drove to "ulu" for dinner.
Dinner was delectable with soft & tender asam fish (slurp), crispy cereal prawns, fish maw soup... etcetc.
The only downside was the blend stir-fried veggies which, in the words of 2nd uncle william, tasted like GRASS.
Whichever way, i still enjoyed dinner and the terribly hot afternoon I was fried in was forgiven after that fulfilling meal.
What to expect from here
