And that's a wrap...

Now that it's officially saturday, i can't believe that my ten consecutive days of being in school are over. I'll miss them, somewhat... But make no mistake, if i were suddenly to get notice to go to school tomorrow i would just burst into sobs on the spot. Ok nothing so serious lah, but i definitely wouldn't want to take 10 to school tomorrow, with all the annoying NDP rehearsal road diversions that add at least an extra hour to the journey to and from school.

Some parting words from these ten days:

• Above all, thank God for His goodness and faithfulness to us throughout the whole matric fair planning period and the execution, and even now as the follow-up process is underway...
• I am hardly keen to drink any more newater for at least another month, after downing it by the bottle in order to clear excess stock. (Thanks so much to Yu Mun for agreeing to store the many excess bottles of water for us in your room, which looks very well done up, by the way...)
• Was really great to meet quite a few people i know from different parts of my brief life who were matriculating over the course of the four days, including choir friends, army friends, church friend etc...
• I realise that i was talking rather fast whenever i approached a freshie during the fair, i hope they understood what i was saying, and didn't just respond blindly... (Anyway, my talking speed hardly can match up to Shawna's, no matter how hard i try...) I somehow always tend to get overexcited and talk very quickly and with loads of nonsense in such situations.
• It was really very encouraging to get lots of verbal and prayer support over the course of this whole matric thingy... Thank God for each and every single one of these people... It really does help.
• Wow, the follow-up promises to be a very exciting time... Pray that we will be faithful stewards of what the Lord has provided us with...

Well, today marked DAY TEN, and though admittedly i was a bit sian by today (or rather, yesterday), since notice of it came so late, by God's grace he led me to realise the importance of today. Thank God for all the CF volunteers who came down, despite the late notice, and for His provision of even more contacts, some of whom indeed want to know more about Christianity. To borrow from Deborah, yayness!

After the activity drew to a close, i went for a swim at src (for the first time in my life), which turned out to be the only really relaxing thing i've done over the course of these ten days. The weather was so inviting (warm, sunny, yet slightly overcast), and so was the price (free =), and i had someone to swim with (Ian), who is thankfully of roughly the same, ahem, swimming proficiency level as yours truly, if you get my drift... I even lost count of the number of laps because of the soothingness (such a word exists?) of it all, but i believe i've definitely bettered my old record of 24 laps. I think that it was around 32. I think my aching muscles may tell a better tale than me tomorrow when i wake up...

Seriously, the src pool is much better (cleaner and better renovated) than the old and mosaic-tiled (i just can't stand mosaic) Katong pool that i usually go to. The water also is much less salty than both Katong and the dubiously-flavoured waters of Wild Wild Wet. Furthermore, src's free, even the lockers, and i figure, might as well make my school fee moneys' worth by making use of nus facilities... It's just like last time at ACJC, when i made it a point to use the gym regularly, not to keep fit, but solely to not waste my ridiculously expensive quarterly sports complex fee of $33...

The only complaint i have, of course, is the distance... But anyways, i guess that by the time school starts, i may be practically living on campus anyway...

Anyway, another contribution to my happiness today was my going down to ntuc to buy delicious post cereal while it's still on sale (till today) at only $4.95 a box... Yay to honey bunches of oats and blueberry morning =) One of the few ways by which i'll actually eat breakfast...
