SEAsia

nothing exciting happened during the week, and if something did, YOU would have been important enough for me to tell you.

friday: "dragged" to international dinner (of pizza...haha) by Hidy, but had a lot of fun with the "international kids", then went to yaf at anding's, came back and chilled at bv lobby to keep jessie company while she works as a deskie...then at 1am when she got out of work, came back to my dorm and talked till like 2...slept around 3am

saturday: woke up at 130pm, left for mall with Hidy and Miki for an assignment around 3, got back around 4, pooped around, went to Sarah's apt for southeast asia dinner!!! it was exciting to be surrounded by my fellow southeast asians, i was scared to release my singlish tho, because they spoke it so naturally, i didn't wanna seem like i was just making fun of them, so i refrained. hahaha, we watched 小孩不笨2 and then watched random youtube videos...it was a nice gathering, it made me happy =D

sunday: went to Calvary chapel for the first time attended their main service and their college service, got back to campus around 1, picked up at 210 for chinese church...boy was it just a churchy day...@.@ i was so sleepy...so got back around 5, took an hr nap, dinner with Hidy and random koreans...then came back to dorm and watched the golden globes!!! but i was sad that the movies/tv shows/actors/actreses i was cheering for didn't win...except for Up...whoo!

there was something else i wanted to write about, but i totally do not remember what now, haha, oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be posted! or if i think of it later, i'll do a "edit//" =D, hokay, gonna try and sleep before 1 tonight!

Take It To The Lord In Prayer

So i have been back to GRapids for almost a week now, class is good, i'm glad that my DCM (developing a Christian mind) is the most chill class from all the DCM of all my friends who are taking DCM...hahaha also, taking badminton is fun too, i feel like i'm reliving my SBC days...the 4-8 year old me playing badminton with people 20-30 years my senior on the [no longer existing] badminton courts outside of Block 4...oh man, good times...hahaha

i went outdoors iceskating [for the first time ever!] on saturday with my floor, and i've only been iceskating once 10 years ago, so i wasn't quite sure how well i'd skate, but thank goodness for my rollerblading years in SBC (hahaha, i think i was actually quite athletic in singapore...what happened?!) so i did alright, wasn't too speedy tho and was kinda confused on how to stop...but i did not fall...until my last round around the rink...i lost balance and fell backwards, i thought it was nothing, but the bone above my butt - tail bone? (where i landed first when i fell) has been hurting a lot lately...my mother says i might've broken something around there...but i wouldn't be able to sit if i did right? i dunno, it hurts a lot when i bend or when i sit...T.t

lately, i've been worrying a lot...and i don't usually worry...especially about things of the future, but i don't know why i have been lately, so i needa do more praying, because all these things i'm worrying about, i know God will take care of...or has already taken care of, as He's always like a billion steps ahead of me...but yeah, more pray pray, less play play...so i'm requesting that you faithful readers of my mundane blog to pray for me too, and if you talk to me i'll tell you what they are OR you could just pray for me in general =D thank you!

p.s. i haven't played sports in so long that a few days of badminton is killing me, i'm so sore...plus my butt hurts uber much! T.t
