So the past few weeks in church, everyone had been busy preparing for the ILC. With the band almost every week, to having previews of the musical BUILD, sad to say, it's now over. This past weekend had been so amazing and awesome and I can't thank God enough for it. ILC and SEA Region Conference and just services in a packed hall.

Even though it was a real bummer we did not watch the musical live while everyone else did. Ugh. But there were 5 sold out shows for the musical and over 2000 visitors! I just watched the musical (on dvd, duh) and it was so good now one of the songs is stuck in my head.

So anyways this is how my weekend went:

Friday, 29/8/14
Chinese paper today i....... don't want to talk about it. Haha. But we went to Swissotel the Stamford for the closing lesson and okay everyone was in this really big ballroom and it was filled with disciples from all over the world (mostly adults, but its ILC what can I expect hahaha). And we went to sit with Robbie yay we found a familiar face amidst the sea of people. Hahaha. When we reached there it was the announcements time, good news from ICOC all around the world, and we watched an ICOC Hotnews video as well. And suddenly poof Nathan appeared out of nowhere (I was shocked tbvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvh hahahahha) and yeah more announcements and stuff and then there was a 10minute break. We saw some familiar faces such as Sarah De Souza and Caesar! We didn't go anywhere though we wanted to go take pics with HYC peeps but we stayed to talk to Nathan who says that he has no friends and that his friends are beside him hahahah. And he was super funny today I don't even know why but yeah HAHAHA and he actually went for lesson on thursday too HAHAHA and yeah other funny stuffs happened to maybe because school had made us gone bonkers? Most probably. So the last lesson was by Mike Talliferro, the guy who's always on ICOC hotnews and we get to see him in real life?! HAHAHAH so cool ok. And the title was related to the theme, "Go Up and Build!" And after the service, we had worship led by Brian Craig! BEING ABLE TO SEE HIM IN REAL LIFE OMGAH hahaha. And yeah dismissed and then we went to find our HYC friends yayyyyyy passed by Jordan, saw Sarah Andrew, Isabelle and finally saw Vanthan! It was great catching up a lil with Isabelle and finally meeting Vanthan after a year! Hahaha and then we met Jiajuan ((in the same train)) for dinner and homed because we were not going for the dance party at church. Ps I was surprised at the number of teens who went to swissotel despite having school hahaha. :)

Saturday, 30/8/14
Tuition at 8am in the morning till 11.30 andddddddddd we went to church for the SEA region / ILC Youth Conference! We reached at like almost 2pm and the hall was just filled with young teens, teens and campus. So we had the simultaneous classes. The first class I went to was One Thing by Kent and Heather McKean and it just made me reflect and I actually thought how I survived watching The Passion. The second class was Why Believe? by . And while changing locations, we saw a group of Cambodian teens, and Porm came forward to aay hi. So I finally met her after a year! After the two simultaneous classes, we had a short break before gathering at the straits hall for the last lesson. And so we made friends with a few of the Cambodian teens who were here for their trip to Singapore! Mara's father still recognised us and he was like "hey it's you! You have grown up!" Hahaha. And we made friends with Phong and Kim. Kim is Gwen's sister!!!!!! And we also saw Jared Vasallo and he was like "hey the laughing twins!" And when I asked how tall he was, he just went "taller than you" hahahah whatever, he's like 2 heads taller than us. So before the lesson, we had talks for HYC and Swamp Corps and Goldstone school. NOW I REALLY WANNA GO SWAMP CORPS like at the US or South Africa or anywhere. And the last lesson was by Kent and Heather McKean, using clips from the movie "The Matrix". It was interesting and a great lesson and then we had to leaveeeeeeeeeee. But it was still a great Saturday!

Sunday, 31/8/14
SO. The end of ILC and SEA region conference, the busiest weekend for Central Christian Church members. Was early at church and we fellowshipped with the Cambodian teens. It's a pity we can't spend a lot of time with them because we are in the midst of prelims. Today's sermon was titled GO! By John Lusk and it was greatttt. But sitting on the floor was not funny at all because aching butt. Haha. And today, the ICOC churches officially welcomed Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand to the SEA Region YAY CAMBODIANS!!!!! [Speaking of cambodipans, i really cant wait for o's to be over, because the cambodians who came last year will be coming!!!!! And we have like a lot to catch up on hahaha] and for worship, we had the acapella and band mixed, and it was super cool. And for the last song, we sang the theme song Build! And also learnt that for yesterday's games forfeit they had to sing this song hahaha. Anyways went around taking pictures with the overseas friends because honestly, we don't know when we will meet again. :( yeah it was an awesome weekend and I LOVED the fellowship!

ps sat with Diana Wooten last sunday heh.

Pps i know this post is super very late uh but whatever

Hey guys. Just a pretty summarised post about life after prelim 1, which ended last thursday (actually a very long time ago this post is pretty much late). Life is pretty much the same I guess. And I have been pretty lazy to update my blog about last year's retreat, June retreat, HYC and probably somemore but we'll wait till when I'm not lazy ok HAHAHAH.

So thursday was our last paper, science mcq and listening compre and I was like yolo because 5SOS end up here was stuck in my head I couldn't concentrate much HAHAHAHA. But yeah mixed feelings now because I got over one of the major exams for my final year here (MAJOR YAY), but this means pretty soon prelim 2 and O's will be here. And we went out with Ku!!!!!!! #ADVENTURESOFTHETWINSANDNOTSOKUXUEQI hhahaha okay we actually took videos almost the whole day. Ku says we are so embarrassing but she still poses when the camera is on here so. First we went to lavender to collect Joey's passport ((we were supposed to collect it yesterday but mum brought the wrong passport)) and we got it in less than 5 minutes so we could laugh at ku who said she had to wait for an hour plus when she got hers. HAHAHHAHA. And then me ans Joey pangseh ku and we changed to dance tees and ku is stuck in the uniform hahaha. She was like "I wanted to bring my dance tee one but then I thought you two not bringing so I don't bring lor" you lame ku you lame. Hahah so anyway afterwards we were on our way to the Flock Cafe, which was at Tiong Bahru (so far I know, but Ku wanted) hahaha. Luckily we didn't get lost if not I would have whacked ku hahaha just kidding but yeah it was pretty simple place and I got some cream-based pasta which was really good hehehe. We ate until we were full. And then we walked all thw way back to Tiong Bahru plaza because our dear friend wanted to buy water. And that was when we saw the Teens magazine had posters of Ian, Xubin Aloysius, 5SOS and Taylor Swift?!?!?!?!?!! And so we spazzed even in the MRT towards town. XUEQI SAID LUKE IS HOT I TOTALLY AGREE. We wanted to get Krispy Kreme, and tried finding starbucks but we couldn't, so we only got KOI and them donuts hahaha. So tempted to eat them, but no. Then we U-turned back to somerset and went to muji where we made personalised notebooks and envelopes and pretty stuffs yay HAHAHA. Then we went to scape, tried finding a place to seat and then we settled at some shop hahaha until 4pm, and then we made our way back to dance. I LOVE THE NDP DANCE THIS LUCKY BATCH OF KIDS OMG. Only xueqi knows how I feel now HAHAHA. But yeah anyway after their dance ended, we had a mini birthday celebration failed surprise for faith and yini with the krispy kreme which we said was for other people hahaha. Sorry for the failed surprise guys, but its the thought that counts right. YAY day made by the dancers❤❤

And um quite a lot of things happened but I was super lazy to update as you can tell so here's a short preview HAHAHA WAT.

Racial harmony day 2014!! The last (hopefully) in CCHY and quite a handful of students wore ethnic costumes. The fact that CCHY celebrated RHD 3 days late and that all lessons was per normal, was pretty boring too. And I wore the Indian costume which I bought from India for triple physics?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?! HAHAHA WHAT IN THE WORLD. But took some polaroids and pictures woohoo!!!

And there's national day celebrations. We didn't celebrate it late this time hahaha. We celebrated today and our school wad literally red and white HAHAHAH because people either wote red shirts or their uniforms. It was a good good day because NO LESSONS AND HELLO LONG WEEKEND!!!! So we assembled in class in the morning and waited for like everyone to come before we had the activity. Which, apparenyly is origami, or paper folding. Into roses. Uhhuh hahahaha. And then there's Alice and Monray taking weird selfies with the wrird effect from candy cam BUT IT WAS FUNNY HAHAHA. We folded until like 8 or something? And then thr whole school assembled at the parade square for the parade segment. We were joined by students from Beijing and/or Shanghai, and also the RCYPS students. As you know, our school pupils take a very long time to settle down. And so, me, Joey, Xueqi and Xinru went to music room to see our dancers! Probably my 3rd time or something going back to dance this week. (P.s. laoshi said we have grown fatter HAHAHAHA) and yeah so paiseh being called seniors HAHAHAH I mean like hello some of you are actually same age as us *ahem yini ahem* HAHAHA. And after awhile we went back to parade square and we still had to wait very long before the parade started. It was my first time being an audience fo NDP celebrations. And yeah we cheered for our dance juniors I LOVE THEIR WAVE. LAOSHI'S SIGNATURE WAVE. HAHAHAHA. There was the parade and festival drums and nothing much, really. Afterwards, the upper sec was supposed to have "contact time" with form teacher but we were all outside class taking photos with everyone patriotic people. AND. MS SERENA CAME BACKKKKKKKKKKKK. It was so good seeing Ms Serena again. :') and afterwards was the concert segment and we all assembled at the mph. There were performances also for hari raya and I feel that this year's concert segment was the best. Except for the sing-along part. THERE'S TOO DAMN LITTLE SONGS and we wanted to be high but so little songs but oh well. YEAH HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPOREEEEEEE!❤❤

And yeah. You know about how out timetable states that our lessons end at 1.40 or 2.15? IT'S A LIE COS NOW EVERY SINGLE DAY WE HAVE TO STAY BACK FOR MOCK EXAMS AND IT ENDS AT 5 AND WE HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO BUT WHAT TO DO ITS PREPARATION FOR OUR O'S WHICH IS IN LESS THAN 70 DAYS. Honestly, I don't feel prepared. At all. Pretty much failing in life oh well.

Ps I'm loving every sunday's band now. And Rob Narita, a broadway and TV actor who sings for BUILD the musical just gives me chills when he sings. WE TOOK A PICTURE WITH ROB NARITA WOOHOO OMG. ((And me and crish took some secret selfies with him too hahahah))

HOPE I CAN UPDATE SOON ABOUT MY LIFE BECAUSE I MISSED OUT A LOT OF EVENTS AND I DIDN'T WRITE IT IN MY DIARY AND I DON'T WANT TO FORGET THE MEMORIES BUT OH WELL YEAH.
