Last Essay
I love Lockhart, but it's time to revise and we still gotta do his essay! And the bad thing is that I haven't been reading much for this sem lor.... sigh...praying hard now.
Aiyah, nvm, let's talk abt nicer stuff. I promised to outline a bit abt my life in NUS to commemorate my grad rite. Here goes:
I recall going to watch the annual floats with my church mate, Daniel, last time. Was a blurry-eyed freshmen then, but my fren already seemed to know his way abt. Bumped into some of my secondary frens on that day.
Think the whole of my 1st year, esp 1st sem, I hanged out with my SNG frens a lot and din wanna know new ppl. Haha so anti-social hor. But I think it was the after effect of the bad time in JC, I just din trust ppl so much liao then. But praise God cos He has healed me abt it now and I have bec more sociable. I had lectures with Lorraine and Jingting and usually hang out at either Lorraine's room in Raffles Hall or Yvonne Teng's room at Kent Ridge. I even helped my former classmate, Aihui, who coincidentally shared room with Yvonne, with her Pol Sci essay, for which she got an A and I got B! Hahaha... I remember the PS1101 was a frightening exp cos there was 3 Year 3 Law students in the tutorial class and they were really impressive.
I oso joined Red Cross, by default. Why? Well, the story is a bit long, but I had intended to join a martial arts ECA during Matric Fair. My fren, another Yvonne (Wang) and I signed up for Judo, Kendo, wushu and even fencing. We went for kendo welcome tea tog, but neither of us joined, maybe it's becos of the super ex outfit u need to possess. I think I went for wushu, too, but rembering my injury, I din join. I really dun rem how exactly I ended up in Red Cross, but I went for their Welcome Tea and oso a First Aid quiz, which I nearly won. Darn!
But I just joined them naturally and was accepted. I volunteered for many stuff, like CPR demo and Blood Donation drives. I got to know lots of them. Then a very significant thing happened. I joined the first FOC they org in a long time as the Vice-Chairman. The Chairman was the guy that was to bec my BF haha. The FOC turned out fantastic, despite inexp and not so gd planning. My friendship with the Chairman dev, but that's all I will tell hehe.
The next sem I went to stay in KR, the best time of my NUS life other than my 4th yr. It was a time of (too much) fun. I got to know so many close frens, got involved in scandals, grew spiritually (only to forfeit it later). Got my own space from the people at home, whom tho nice to me, do irritate me at times. That was also where I got to know how to play Double Jeopardy, whom our dear exchange fren from Canada, Jackson, so kindly provided for us. Ah, he is now a missionary to India. How I miss him! Would love to see him once again. I would also love to see Big Chris, Weijian, Jasmine, Wei Tee and Michael again. But I paid a heavy price with my grades. Sigh...
Anyway, yr 3 went on ok. I seriously thot that I was gonna grad then cos of my grades. So I just studied with zest, for the last time. Eat the delicious yakiniku don last time with pleasure and all. I oso led the NUS team for first aid comp and we emerged champion! Meanwhile, being busy in terms of love life, I somewhat neglected my frens, missing our squad outings. Sorry gals! See, I'm making it up to u gals now. But God was gracious, at the end of yr 3, my grades improved a bit, so I thot of giving 4th yr a shot. The rest, as they say is history. Haha no pun intended!
