Welcoming my brother's friend from Taiwan...

yest night, one of my brother's friend from Taiwan coming here for exchange program came to our house to sleep... this's part of the exchange program to stay in the students house for 2 night... tonight he'll be staying here also... quite a good opportunity to know someone from another country...

before picking them up yest... we went to Turf City... but that place now like quite 'ker lian'... most of the shop had closed with only a few shop left and the Giant and some restaurant and steamboat... the foodcourt and even the Mac are closed... we went for the Steamboat for $12 each... it's not bad as it got more variety then the marina south one but maybe due to the rain, there's not much ppl and many tables are empty...

in the main shopping area... many shops are not there anymore, with one brand which looks like a warehouse sale occupying almost the entire hall including the autrim and the empty shops... the place now looks very jia lat... dunno can survive for long or not...

so fast... graduated from SP for 1 yr liao...

it's been 1 yr since i took my last exam paper in SP... wow since like yesterday... and also the Australia mission trip, coming to 1 yr liao... 19 Apr to 8 May...

but due to the poly time table pushing forward, the current batch already finished their exams in early march and went for their mission trip already... tmr is the start of the new acad year... seems funny cos this usually starts in july... now is only mid apr... but poly term will be starting around this time in future...

Easter Sunday

today is Easter Sunday, the day our Lord Jesus Christ resurrected from the death... it also means ethernal life...

we also witness holy baptism of some of our church friends today... but i'm not baptise yet cos my parents still dont allow and also now as i'm in NS, it's quite diff to attend the baptism class... hopefully 1 day it'll be mine turn... still praying to God abt it...

Good Friday

today is Good Friday... the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins... besides Christmas, this is another important day in the christian calander...

thank god today is our dismount day and we got to enjoy the holiday and also Easter sunday on sunday... if in the other shift will miss both days...

this year, the good friday service was almost the same as last year's, although i miss most part of it... but heard from the others... then after that went to funan... actually we want to buy a laptop bag as a birthday gift for 1 of our brothers but in the end we did not buy the thing but ended up shopping around for other things...

took the 2nd last train back, then took the 1st train out...

last thurs, we went to suntec to celebrate one of New Dawn team member's birthday and also to send Jonathan off for NS as he's enlisting the next day...

then after meeting at 8pm we went to watch the fountain laser show until about 9.15pm then went to Pasta Mania for dinner... super late sia... at there, cos one of us got a friend working there so got 30% discount... we ordered one whole list of things worth more than $140... cos got 12ppl i think... then discount about $45... wow...

after that we went to Esplanade to cut cake for the birthday... by that time it was already near 11pm and most of the place are closing... so had to do it fast in order to catch the last train home...

this's super tiring as i only reach boon lay at 0017h and have to catch the 1st train at 0537h back to camp... feel so tired that day too...
