Back to S'pore

Ipoh Lasallian Encounter 2007 at St Michael's Institution, La Salle Centre totally rocked.

Im a little lazy to highlight everything we did, so I'll just pen down some of the more memorable ones:

The talks by all 8 brothers really 'transformed' (theme of the camp) us in our lives. And so I look forward to transforming others.

We watched 2 movies in 4 days...lol....

Those from St Martin's, Tambunan, Sabah had extremely good musical background, they sang extremely well.

And the best part is, I learned an unforgettable quote.

Bro Michael Kang (m'sia) was telling us on how, his father while going after the girl he loved, wanted her to be Catholic ( a little selfish, I know)

When Bro Michael's dad confessed to her "I am Catholic" , she said

"If I truly loved you, I must also love your God too."

And lastly, I did not get to try their renowned "Ipoh Hor Fun"...

Lol, but never mind, I can officially say that this was the best camp in my life.

I high and low-lighted my hair today :D, 5 hours after I came back at 7am.

Anyway, all this stuff aside.

Once again, somethings happened. I don't know what is going to happen from now on. All I can say is, I can only do whatever is in my ability...

That's all I am saying.

Coming back to the real world, now we have to face all our problems again.

Only this time, I am going to face it with a whole different new way.

Bring it on.

God Bless!

This is just too beautiful not too share

Goodbye, at least for a while...

Yours truly will be leaving for a Lasallian Encounter, by making a trip to Ipoh tomorrow the 25th of May, and I shall return on the 30th, a Wednesday.

Through recounts of my seniors, I really hope to have a true Spiritual Encounter in a foreign land, while having fun at the same time. They gave positive feedback on how it was enriching but yet fun at the same time.

Sounds better than LLTC anytime to me...

Somehow deep inside, I have this apprehensive feeling that this trip, being in Malaysia, my mind flashes back on the school camp I had in March and all its negative features.

But I suppose since this is Legion, things would be better after all. Even if things will go bad,

I will always have my faith, at the very least.

But somehow with recent events, (refer to previous post) I have been down in an all-time low, until my friend told me these words.

"Have faith, that you have faith"

Picturing this words in my mind, this sounds like a bloody conundrum or paradox to me.

What if you never had any faith in the first place to begin?


Because, If you have faith that you have faith, then initially when you did not have faith, but then you believed you have faith, you have faith because you had faith, that you had faith.

Ok, this is seriously getting no where, let me sleep on it.

But here's another one for you, : Can you trust the Cretan who tells you all Cretan are liars?



Paradoxes aside for now...



Also we had our various CCA photo taking today. Since I was a prefect, I had to wear white long-sleeved shirt (we were give one day's notice =.=) and today being a Thursday we had PE in the morning.

Imagine wearing a PE attire inside, and long-sleeve outside. The heat..................

This year's legion photo looked good to me. Mostly comprised of the next-generation legionaries a.k.a lower sec members.

Somehow when I ascend to Sec 4 next year, (Oops, sorry let me re-phrase that.) IF I ascend to Sec 4 next year, (but either way) my responsibilities grow larger, as I have to succeed Michael in taking charge of the Student Assembly Prayer Leaders, which could once again affect my prefect duties.

Dickson is gonna be pissed. Again.

Wait, what the hell, since when did I ever care about his feelings after the time I got Mr Salleh's approval to smack him in the face (figuratively) by stating that I can go for Morning Prayer and can report to Prefect's Assembly at 7.10am, thus elimintating his stand of not allowing me to go?

And teachers gave so much, like 4 AMOAs (Alternate Mode Of Assesment) and holiday homework... There goes my freetime.... Thank you all teachers...We really appreciate all the effort you come up with to ruin our holidays, and we shall reciprocate by giving you shit the moment we come back :P __

at least most of us will...




And of course, another week without you guys, thus dampens my spirits though hmm......

I suppose there is always after the trip. :D Lookin' forward to seeing all of you again.

and for now, take care of yourselves alright?

tis' goodbye

Con Te Partiro, Bon Voyage.

God Bless!

I lost many of the people You gave me.

I saw the new faces, eager and willing...

And yet...many of them changed...what was once the right path in their eyes now becomes a path of bore, chore, and time-wastage.

Influenced by circumstances, I have tried to reach out to them, to guide them back.

But, alas... Many chose to take the wide and even path that was easy for them, which no doubt at the end, is a dead end.

Is it really that hard, just to sacrifice an hour? Do those things really matter than the very essence of what you believe in?

Once again, I've lost to the devil. He managed to steal away many of Her legionaries. And as leader, I have failed terribly in the execution of my duty.

Fighting an enemy may be hard, but at least with a loyal and devoted army, one can stand his ground.

But what happens, when your enemy uses propaganda, leads them astray, and you as the leader of your batallion, helplessly look as one by one, your men walk the path of no return?

Temptation overcomes their spirit, even though it may be strong, but the weakness of the flesh is just too weak to resist it.

Their young minds are just unable to resist it. Their faith was not strong enough. But I refuse to give up.

Not when I still have my faith that one day they will return, not when I still reign as President and I will see that they walk that path no more, and to return, to what was truly just and righteous.

If he wants a war of mind-games, he shall get one. At the end of the day, we know who is the clear victor. He may have had a good start.

But this is only the start, and it is not over till it is over. I have lost them, and its really up to me to bring them back..

God, help me seek and return your lost sheep to your flock, O Good Shepherd. Guide our paths, protect us from wild animals that seek to harm us.

Amen.

God Bless!

Morning dawns

It is so rare that I wake up so early like at 9.35 am despite I am on MC.

And thanks to my MC I managed to skip my School's Annual Jogathon at Bedok Reservoir.

(sorry, I don't really fancy waking up in the crack of dawn with my vision all blurred, making my way to some water catchment area and running 4.3 km just to air-condition the hall. I care more about the beloved chapel though :P)

Anyway, according to my friends Ascension mass at school was not bad as there were 2 servers. Hopefully everything went well...

Mass at church was ok as there was at least Damien to assist me for the 1 pm mass, but could not make it for the funeral as I had to see the doctor.

The doctor gave me 2 types of medicine. One was an eye drop and the other was an eye ointment which I had to run INSIDE my lower eye bag. Hurt a little and because of its sticky nature I could not really open my eyes.

(Oh and Edmund if you are reading this, fyi the medicine was not white so go get your own mayonaise and chilli and go fantasize all you want...)

oh yeah, I also toned my hair a bit, so it looks a little brown. :P

Came back home and I slept for a few hours. Woke up, eat my over due dinner and slept again.

God I am living like a pig these days......... :X


But never mind, when the holidays start I will forget what is called rest...

Ipoh Lasallian Encounter, Legion Camp, LLTC.

can die...................................

oh, but before I go Ipoh, I would really like to catch POC 3 At World's End.

hey guyz, free on 24th night?

aww nvm. I guess not. You all better concentrate on your studies la huh......


Omg...coming from a student who failed 4/7 of his subjects.. LOL!


I may be going Zion later to meet my friends for some LAN.

and can't wait to highlight my hair next Friday :D

God Bless

And have a good weekend ahead.


I am surely enjoying mine ;)

Sick

Really not feeling well, and I am hoping I get 2 days' MC. My eyes are swollen and I am running a temparature.

And I hope everything goes well in Ascension Mass in school today. Thomas I am so sorry I cannot serve with you and bring you the cinctures, I think there should be cinctures in the school chapel's vestry. And I hope Christopher will step up.

I am gonna serve the 1 pm mass in church since all the other servers have school (Muahahahahahah what better time to get sick).

Oh yeah, Day of Obligation today hor, do not forget to go. :D

Alright then, time to go to the doctor's and get my 2 days MC (oh i will MAKE SURE he gives me 2 days since Friday is jogathon...)


Take Care and God Bless

oh and take a look towards the sky, you might just see a light coming down, and a person going up..
Hee..
