Hey again. I'm back in kch now for a few days this time. Yeah, it's finally time to make my passport, student visa, and bla bla stuff to get ready for my studies. Exciting yet scary at the same time.
Now then I realise how fun and interesting national serice turns out to be. Classes may be a lil boring, but I'll definitely miss all my friends and all the funny moments we had together. It's not surprising that I'd rather be there right now, not here blogging.
I'm also really sad that I won't be able to join the closing ceremony on the 27 of May. And also the remaining activities during the last week, which will probably be community service and trips. *sigh sigh*
Anyway, I really thank God that I was chosen for NS. if not, I wouldn't be able to know so many new friends and experience things that so many have not been able to enjoy. It truly is a blessing...
Greetings from Sibu
Hah. It's a miracle that I'm here ryt now typing a new post. My cousin(dearest) actually has internet connection!!! argh. Thank God soooo much.
Anyway, to all those who don't yet know, I'm on holiday from National Service. 3 days only. And I'd chosen not to go back to Kuching, but rather stay here in Sibu instead. Besides, I can jalan-jalan in Sibu and save quite a lot of money too.
Okay...how should I summarize National Service to me in less than a million words? Hmm. Let's see. I've made a gazillion friends from all around Malaysia, plus some other classmates whom I've lost contact with for years. It's funny how I think I'd hate making new friends here yet enjoyed so much chit chatting with new friends.
Marching for hours each day is of course inevitable. It's fun actually, provided the weather isn't hot. There's a drilling competition between company coming up soon, so I really hope that my company (BRAVO) will win this one. The food, as expected, is not as delicious as mum's cooking, but fortunately I'm okay with it. There are many activities planned for us, among them are jungle trekking, kayaking, water rafting, camping, flying fox, obstacle course, "kenegaraan" classes (super boring but that's where I met some ahem interesting frens), sports (basketball, netball, bola tampar, badminton, ping pong etc) and many others which will be carried out pretty soon. There's also lotsa presentations and competitions between classes and companies. Presentations are real fun coz that's when you can act, sing, or dance and wear nice costumes... and no matter how good (or bad) we performed, everyone gets a prize!
We Christians get to go to church every Sunday, and after that shopping around Wisma Sanyan until the bus arrives. Thank God also that the buses are air-conditioned. The only bad news is that we Ns trainees from Kem Bumimas have to wear our class uniforms to town. Explanation: class uniforms look hideous. I look like a postman wearing it. bleh.
phew. That's all for now. If you wanna know more, do feel free to ask me. hehe. To all those in Kuching (esp SFEC youths), I miss u all very much! God bless!

great are His plans *praise Him!*
Memorable. The only word to perfectly describe today.
Ah, the BIG spm result. I did pretty well, didn't expect I would get an A2 for Moral, but oh well. Yeah, I'm grateful to Him, definitely. *smiles* The headmaster asked if I wanted to appeal for an A1 in Moral, but I passed down the offer. It's a long prosedure, and not necessary to me anyway. The only surprising thing is that my frens from Chung Hua No.1 didn't fare as well as I thought. *shrugs*
Went to Raven to hand in the certified copy of my result. Hopefully, the letter of offer will arrive soon and allow me to get out of NS by the beginning of May. I just hope that there's enough time for me to prepare everything before I leave for NZ. *frowns* Though I really want to experience something new and make new friends, but leaving your comfort zone is never an easy task, esp for me. Well, guess it's time for me to grow up. On my own.
Had to spray my hair black before changing my IC to Mykad. Was really surprised that the whole prosedur of making IC was so quick and efficient. Not forgetting to mention, the staff there were super nice. They even asked if I liked the 2nd picture they took. haha. And I had thought that it would take hours to line up, fill forms and wait for my turn. Not bad, the government is slowly improving in some ways.
Oh and about the new layout, that'll just have to wait.

It's true when they say there's always a guardian angel somewhere out there watching over you. Maybe not for 24 hours a day, but in times when you most needed their help to guide you through those difficult times.
During the usual badminton sessions every Sunday, I received a GREAT compilation cd of Christian songs from Darren. Included was a note and memory verses specially meant to help me though the National service. Gosh, I was touched beyond words. Truly, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

leaving dear old Kuching for a loooong time
Change of plans. At first, I wanted to postpone NS to don't-know-when. But now, I heading straight to Sibu on the 13 of March. Thank God I was able to change the camp venue from Selangor to Sibu. Short notice, but I'll cope with it. Wow, by next Sunday I'll be at the camp already. Then, by beginning of May, I'll be going to Kiwiland. Aiks. All I can say is, God moves in a mysterious way.
All day, been CRAZILY busy. Many people thinks that working at a stationery shop is a piece of cake, and all you do is wait to collect money. Wrong. It's way tiring than that, and I really need a full body massage now, especially for my aching shoulders... Always having dinner at around 930 pm is unhealthy. Yeah, but what to do? It's not convinient to have dinner while people are always coming and going through the door. *Tells myself: Do not complain*
Results are coming out pretty soon. Am I nervous about it? I don't know. Whatever is printed on the certificate has been decided by the Man above, so no complaints. The hope of getting straight A is still there, but remains a really fat chance. Anyway, to all who are receiving their results soon, best wishes and God bless.
