10 HOURS TO NEW YORK!
yes, okay, the second post.
and yes, it's 10 HOURS TO NEW YORK.
im really really excited about the whole thing and all, but im still wondering, WHAT AM I DOING HERE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT PACKED MY BAG?!
yes i think im
Anyway i just came back from Good Friday service.
yes and today's sermon was divided into 3 themes- Darkness and Pain, Forgiveness and Hope and Restfulness and Victory.
all based on the Gospel of Luke 23: 26-53
and i firmly believe that we should rest in God when we face the darkness, forgive others who sinned against us as He has forgiven us who sinned against him and no matter how we feel like giving in, we must always rememeber that Mercy will come running.
with that, i really thank God for all he has done and i pray that He will be there for VJCSB throughout the whole trip, keeping us safe and guide us in whatever we do.
and for sure, VJCSB WILL ROCK CARNEGIE HALL! (:
yes, i better start packing my luggage now and i'll see everyone in 10 days' time!
but before i go, the only verse in the Bible that i know in chinese!
"神爱世人, 甚至將他的独生子賜給他們, 叫一切信他的, 不至減亡, 反得永生"
[John 3:16]
okay, two posts for today.
cos both posts would have hardly any relation to each other, so yeah.
past few days have been extremely busy though we only had 2 days of lessons?
yes, monday was the first day of term 2 and jiayun and i accomplished what we wanted to!
that is to....PAY ATTENTION AND STOP TALKING DURING LECTURES/TUTORIALS!
and we're extremely proud of ourselves for that okay!
stayed back till 7 for sectionals with Pinrui kindly helping us (: Thank You!
Tuesday was more paying attention and less talking for me and jiayun again followed by more band from 530-8.
Wednesday. Arts day.
Yes, and jiayun and i, being really nice and kind people decided to wait for Yiyong in the morning even though he might be late.
so after his arrival at 7:39, we chiong-ed to school and jiayun fell down! and her injuries were quite serious.
JIAYUN! you must take good care of yourself okay! have lots of rest and dont walk up and down too much! im sure you'll be all right really soon! we're really sorry! but dont worry cos me (AND Yiyong) will get you stuff from New York and send you your daily sms! (: dont miss us too much yeah! see you soon (:
okay then more band until around 8.
Thursday was FULL DAY!
but we still had band until 2.
Luckily we didnt arrange for bus stop outing on that day cos even though we skipped lunch and started packing our instruments immediately, we ended at around 5!
yes so maybe we'll have it after Yiyong and i come back from New York? (:
okay, headed down to Holland V after that to meet up with meiting, huiling, cindy and rachel!
yes, i'll miss you guys terribly! );
okay, end of first post.

enjoyed myself thoroughly on and off stage.
ON stage: got to perform with the alumni band for the first time
OFF stage: got to meet up with loads of ex classmates and bandmates, cornet section, and beloved #1! (:

Today
supposed to be out shopping with TTs for New York stuff, but then i was so tired from last night so decided to give it a miss.
furthermore, if you look at the past 3 days, it was liked packed from morning till night?
which means there was no time to do any work?
yes, so i shall study today! hopefully (:
okay, and before i end,
taken at Victoria Concert Hall
"When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed its point"
-Maria Callas
Thank you God for letting Polka!4 be a success. Teach me to do your will, and let your good spirit lead me on a level path in the many days to come.
With that, God Bless.

很多人都说我华文／语很差, 所以我现在就试试看我能不能用华语来表达我的思想。
我认为我一定做得到的，因为我的华语不是人家想象中的那么差。哈哈。
好的，我现在不知道要说什么了。哦，知道了! 这几天我学了一些成语:
1. 孤陋寡闻－什么都不知道 (?)
2. 死对头－LOGGERHEADS
3. 重色轻友－为了感情而抛弃朋友 (?)
okay, i give up, it's like super hard trying to say something in chinese! but i shall try, cos chinese is important. right.
anyway, it's 11:59 now and there's half day of school tomorrow, so i shall go sleep!
yup, was rather high talking to hidhir and yusheng. haha so good night!
(shall continue the post sometime soon)
"Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, i press on toward the goal to win the prize which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus"
-Phil 3:13.14
tomorrow's a new day, a new beginning, we shall wait and see what lies ahead (:
