| I deserve a longer holiday |
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
For some reason, Nickelback's 'Savin' Me' song sounds like a Christian rock song.
Well, Semester 7 is over and done with. Semester 8, here I come. Truthfully, this is the first time I am not looking forward to a new semester. Something tells me that I'm going to be going through some hard stuff. I know this feeling. I've had it before. But in the end, if I trust my instincts and God, I'll pull through. I always have. As they say, hope for the best.
IMU gave us such a short break. But not a day went wasted on my part. As soon as the viva list was out, I rushed back to KL for a church conference. SIB's Exist 2006 Conference (E06). It was a 5-day affair filled with plenaries, devotion sessions, seminars, workshops, concerts and lastly, a community carnival. Everyone in my group of church friends joined the 'college stream'. Me being the type who's always curious about what the adults are talking about, joined the 'young adult stream' ALL BY MYSELF!
Wow, with no one else tagging along with me, it was a scary thought! To be alone among A LOT of young adults(I can't remember the total..300? 500?) and not know a single person??
But luck, or maybe God, as always was on my side. As soon as I arrived, feeling lost, an Indian guy asked me whether I needed help, and when I told him, he helped! And not just direct-you-where-to-go kind of help, he even introduced himself and became one of my new friends throughout the conference. Everytime we met after that, we'd crack a joke here and there and talk about the conference. Such a sweet guy! Must be my good looks that made him help me. Haha! Yo, it's my blog. I'll self-praise all I want.
The conference was great. Definitely an eye-opener. I made some new friends here and there. Learnt some new stuff that I'm sure would be useful to me. So in the end, I would definitely recommend attending a conference by yourself at least once in your life. If you don't learn anything from the conference itself, you'll definitely learn more about yourself. You'll see how strong you truly can be.
I have no idea how someone managed to get this picture. That someone is SO gonna die.
Other than that, my break was mostly filled with shopping, watching DVDs, hanging out with my family and my best friend, Linda. Even went clubbing at Zouk! I refused to spend the night before results were out thinking that I would fail in my finals, so I ended up spending it dancing! Got to meet ChiaMing(finally!), KarSeng and some of their friends. KC came with us too. I had a good time as always.
ChiaMing, it was great to see you again. Have fun in Manchester! Oh ya, Linda and I think Nicholas is cute, if only he was a real Japanese.. Heehee.. :p |
