Mini DHSSB 1996 Gathering

I went for a mini DHSSB 1996 gathering on Sunday.

Firstly I wanna apologise to LM for being late... *Sorry my dear*

She so kindly offered to send me there yet I was late, and my dear friend actually went all the way home and then came out again to send me there! * So touched*

We were like 30mins late, and to our joy there were already people there when we reached! =)

YH and her husband Khet (who had grown to be like a part of us...), KJ and JT were already there. Our KJ as usual looks so much like a small little boyboy... But mai siao siao k. He's a Financial Planner, a Housing Agent, Assistant Manager of a flower shop and a Managing Director of his OWN company. He told us he sleeps like 4hrs a day, managing his US inventory-based company and watch his stocks while US works... Truly I'm so amazed... He's non like the person we knew back then. In our batch, only like 6-7 out of 500 whose results could not make it JC and his results were kinda close to those 6-7 people. And now look at him. How people change, thank God for the better.

Others slowly streamed in... People like ZK (a rare guest!), and of course the usual GH, LQ and Ryan (her BF). I was thinking, what a good representation: 3 from woodwinds, 3 from brass and 1 percussion. hehehe... I truly wonder how would it be like to have an official major gathering, even if it's just for my batch. I heard people like LJ already has a baby boy! I believe she's the 1st to be a mum... =)

After the usual catch-ups, we adjourned to another place in Siglap - The Coffee Club. And then I realised that out of 8 of us, 7 drove. No prizes for guessing who didn't.

*sigh*

It's like all of a sudden, thoughts like what am I actually doing with my life came gushing to me once again... All my peers are successful people... Let's see, we have 2 signed-on navy crew, a teacher, an entrepreneur, an audit supervisor, a banker, a doctor, 2 pharmaceutical engineers and me... I'm just a small little accountant struggling to make some decent savings... :'(

REALLY.

What am I doing with my life?

Can anyone help me answer this question...

*sigh*

I guess the only comfort I have is that I dun need to go through what our dear LQ has to. Seriously we all do not really like her BF but after listening to what he has gone through, I kinda pity him. They are our modern version of R&J. While the rest all had so many things to say on how to encourage them and get her mum to allow them to get married, I somehow just remained quiet. Once again, the real me surfaces in front of all the "I" people.

But I really wanna wish LQ all the best. It's not going to be an easy life for her from now till a long long time from now... And she's such a sweet gal...

God I pray that You'll be there with her whenever she has to go through all these...

Oh I do miss hanging out with them. People who have known me half my life. More than half actually. Been through so many things since those times. It's great to have such gatherings. =)

Thanks to GH for always being such a sport to organise such gatherings! =)

NOW.

After such a gathering, many things going through my head actually.

But back to the question of what am I doing with my life... I think this is something that I'll be thinking about till 2007 ends. Something that I will no doubt be praying about at least till then as well...

God I commit my life into Your hands. I know You will never short-change me no matter how reality may seem to be now... :'(

amen

I'm feeling so tired once again... What's with sundays and mondays? =(

Once again...

I'm feeling so tired once again...

Is it a lack of sleep? Or is it like Prov 13:12... "Hope deferred makes the heart sick..."

God when will my breakthru come?

I need a Word, I need a God moment...

Unique fellowship group with Pst (Updated)

All thanks to W, I got the chance to fellowship with Pst yesterday night after ZM. He had to do this just because I bao dou what happened to him on monday to GY lo...

Gerry, GY says that we can post the *ahem* of *ahem* on Youtube eh! He even has a name for it: From Coast to Toast.... haahahaaaaa......

I was initially not quite sure that I could make it in time for ZM. But after losing focus and concentration on my work at 8plus, I decided to be 萧洒 and just leave to go for ZM. =)

And from my office to YMCA is so near... So I reached there only at 9plus while the rest of the leaders were still in the midst of praying. For the FIRST time, GY subzone had full attendance yesterday! WOW!!! =)

Anyway, everything went as per normal until just before we were about to leave. Pst suddenly walked by to talk to us and asked if we were going to have supper with him. W enthusiastically nodded while I told Pst that I don't think I will join him this time round. Then Pst said, "So Sab is not keen to fellowship with me, then nevermind la..." Wa.... So sad eh... And so I decided to go together with him, since he put it this way... I'm always willing one ok, just that yesterday was kinda tired after all the fire fighting at work BUT nevertheless I still went! =)

The funny thing was, it turned out that the crowd yesterday was exceptionally small...

There were only like 7 of us Including Pst himself. And except for him, all the rest of us stay in the west! I believe this is a 1st time that such a group came about... So as usual it was a great time of fellowship since it was such a small group. It's always amazing to spend time with Pst, to hear from him many things that he doesn't usually share when all of us gather and to talk about non-official things...

I shall cut away all the unnecessary details and hence by the time I reached home, it was already like 1plus am... So much for wanting to go home early... I kinda overslept this morning cos I just couldn't bring myself to get up...

I think, I need to cut down on my night life from now on.... Of course UNLESS it's an invitation from Pst... heheee..... =)

Will you be my 77th reader?

Hey... If you are, tag me ok? =)

I discovered...

Attended ZP and Fyfy's wedding last night... It was a rather nice place, cool and Al Fresco kind of tentage. But not a very conducive place for a matrimony actually. Many people had small talk while Pst was preaching and since there was no live-video streaming, kinda hard to focus on the whole process.

Ok I confess, I for one were those distracted... Cos I was seriously very very hungry... =(

I walked from my office to that place and it took me about 30 mins! Walked from Raffles MRT to Boat Quay, to Riverwalk, to MICA to Funan to Fire Station and then up the hill pass Bible House and the many other buildings too dark to even notice what they are...

So we did something really dumb actually, we requested for peanuts in the midst of the matrimony... *sorry Pst, ZP and Fyfy*

SM Goh and his wife came to grace the event also! How cool can that be!!! =) But we didn't manage to take a photo with him, only stood there and waved at him in a rather silly manner cos he was leaving while the whole group of us were trying to take a photo (without the couple)... Guess we really dunno how to behave in front of important government ministers...

But well, the rest of the night was fun though the food was so-so only... With me and Gerry around, how can it not be fun???!!!! Right *wil*? Hahahaa... One day, maybe just one day we'll let you in part of our gals talk k? hehehee....

Not forgetting Alexis our "Tomb Raider", so appropriately dressed for the occasion while we climbed up the hill passed things which sure do resemble tombs... ehehe...

I haven't uploaded the few photos that we took together yet. Perhaps Gerry will have the honor of doing so? =) Not forgetting our prized video of *ahem*... =)

Ok, I better get back to work now. My in tray is once again reaching it's telephone directory kind of height... *sob sob*

Why am I always so tired on monday... =(
