it's just less than 10more days to the middle of the year, and before all my camps start rolling in, i just had to change my blog skin and also wanted to share my first half of the year with everyone who reads this blog, and hopefully, you'll be blessed because i know, i have been. :) there's so many things to share, and i don't really know where to begin, but here goes!

#1: i remember that when i started the year, i had a new year resolution whereby i wanted to love other people more than myself. and i think that the resolution spurted out from this revelation of my self-centeredness and of course, from a revelation from the bible - love your neighbours as you love yourself. i first took up the challenge of project vibrant colours because it actually forced me to go and think of other people and serve others as well. and i think that this resolution is something that was very worthwhile, because the journey that i took to where i am today was a very fulfilling one. i wouldn't say that i love unconditionally now, or am totally not self-centered anymore, but i know that i'm on my way there. :)

#2: PROJECT VIBRANT COLOURS! personally, i don't think i have been a very good mentor because i've been busy busy-ing with so many other things that i feel that most of the work on OneFive has been done by Yvon. but, it was still worthwhile embarking on this project because i know that i have grown to see myself in a different light. i'm also seeing many of my own personal strengths and weaknesses that i can cultivate and change. and even thought the project is coming to an end (finale is on the 31st of may!), i am still learning alot about myself and the people around me. if i could turn back time and go through the journey again, i wouldn't do it any differently because i wouldn't have learnt as much. i'm also thankful for the groups of people that have walked into my life, and i hope that they do not walk out anytime soon because you'll are all wonderful people! :)

#3: Sheares Hall! :) is definitely an enriching experience because i really learnt a lot about leadership, relationships with people and living in a communal setting, as well as living independently. having to take care of your own room, laundry, meals and basically, yourself, was a very different experience because if you know me, you'll know that i'm very pampered and very used to people taking care of me - and in fact, i still like people taking care of me. but it was fun in a way because i made so many friends and had so many fun times, especially with my oft mentioned level6 boys. from SECC to Rag and then to Block Comm, the journey has been a really fun and enjoyable one. i'm also very proud of my BEP! :)) hahas. looking forward to another academic year in Sheares!

#4: GOD. :) i think that throughout this half a year, one thing that i really gained back was not religion, but my relationship with God. it took a long time and honestly, it's probably only the last three weeks where i really started going into the flow again. it was a really long and painful journey because following the ways of God and living in the lifestyle is not easy. in fact, it involved a lot of sacrifice and giving up things that i either treasured or couldn't let go for a very long while. i wouldn't say that i'm very holy - i'm still very much in the world if you realize. but whenever i'm in the world, i make sure that i'm not of the world. i changed a lot of habits and toned down a lot on my behaviour because i want to be someone that God will be proud of - Daddy's Little Princess is back on track and ready to take the world by storm! lols. :D thank you God, and Brother Joe and everyone else, for not giving up on me.

hmm. that's all for now. it's 11.26pm and i want to head to bed cause tomorrow is going to be a long day. i'll see you soon dears! :)

monday and tuesday passed by quite fast with nothing much going on except spending time at home packing the room or reading at starbucks/coffee bean/gloria jean, as well as spending sometime with the family. wednesday was a little more exciting because i went ladies night-ing at phuture/attica/arena. and i think it's going to be my last ladies night for the next month because i'm going to be busy with camps and other things. lols.

thursday, which is technically "today" was spent quite well too. slept till about 10plus, or was it 12plus, i can't really remember. but i went out to meet QiaoQiao @ tcc and we htht-ed until 5plus before i had to run off to meet bella, xinying and cherylkang for dinner. met at 5.45pm, city hall mrt station and made our way to timbre @ the substation. as you know, putting 4girls togehter = disaster when it comes to looking for directions. so, i took out my very reliable iPhone! hahas. and because it uses a GPS tracking system, there was a blue dot that "followed" us on the the map as we moved. and our very hyper cherylkang was extremely excited about it and she ran on the roads of city hall just to make the blue dot move faster! hahas. but we had a really good time at timbre. however, it's time to fall asleep now because i need to sleep as much as i can before race day. hahas.

NIGHTS!!!
