okay, at first i wasnt really comfortable with kids. as you all know, once i get angry, i can start shouting like a mad person and throw things across the room. so it really wasnt easy for me to control my emotions. but of course, that was something we had to learn.

registration and ice breakers were fun. my group was unique. well, two girls were literally stuck together and a few others were quite quiet. so again, it wasnt easy to try to go down to their level, communicate with them, and help them open up to the others to make friends.

group development! the cheeer came from me. the banner, we had many suggestions about how we should draw it and so on. of course, agruements occured and everyone started taking out their own notebooks and drew their own ideal flag. i mean, its alright for everyone to has their own ideas. but this was a group thing and i needed them to work together. so yea, i was frustrated, pissed, and loss at the same time. of course, all went well after we tried to please them.

journey preparation! we had to present an item, song and u'know. so everyone was like, huh...so the first few things that came into our mind was, she bangs, chicken little and carwash. but we chose she bangs as it would be amusing and entertaining. but, none of us knew exactly the whole lyrics, so we spent one hour practising 4 lines only. being a perfectionist and wanting my group to do well, i asked jason and everyone to help me download the lyrics and songs. they were so helpful! omg thanks. so we had the full lyrics, but practice time was over! ): fortunately, my co facils and I, managed to get the cooperation of the kids to be efficient and sqeeze out time of our schedule. we made use of shower time and dinner time! we had like 30mins to learn 3 whole new paragraphs, new actions, and combine them together. my group was awesome! whooo. donovan, thanks for copying the lyrics!

lasallian idol! we presented, had wonderful comments, although we din't win, i felt that we did very well. we learnt practically one whole song with actions in less than 2hours. we tried our best, thanks guys.

btw, we all knew faith won cos they sang a lasallian song, if not we would have won. great job!

storytelling and night activity! i was basically sleeping. yea.

reflection! well, while during reflection, the group should be quiet and attentive. but of course, their primary 4,5 so i din't expect them to understand that and i had to control my temper. we could have done better here my darlings.

after ot meeting which ended around 1140? some went to bathe, i went with her to the timble room and ahem. haha. 12 plus, i went back to my dorm, she got caught. so she said " we have until one to sleep!" lol. clare, rach, iggy, ian, gerald, pong and i went to sit under the stars and had a good chat. of course, we rushed back at 1259 as we dint want to do pt (george!!!)

haha, the moment i laid on my sleeping bag, i fell asleep. woke up at 5, smsed clare, learnt that she din't sleep at all. went down to her dorm, ahem. then rach, ted and jerome came from dunnoe where. lol. chatted, blah blah blah.

630am of day 2! i went to bathe, wtf water was freezing cold. haha.

okay, day 2 in proper!

morning exercise & reflection,
breakfast,
journey mission briefing,
journey,
journey processing-summary,
lunch,
journey reflection,
clean & pack up,
closing ceremony,
home sweet home.

my group was first at the courtyard, with clare's group second. haha, the exercise (easy to us) was relatively difficult for them. it was amusing. haha :D oh yea, great job guys.

journey! at salvation army home! (i slept during the bus journey there) PONG SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE, but the moment i stepped down the bus, 2 pieces of paper were given to me,"energizers". i was like, huh, why give me. wth. lol. so we went in. i became in charge of everything -.- went through the energizers, had to organize the positions and everything. wow, first time i had such a great responsibility. but well, when opportunities arrive, grab them! dont push the responsibilities to other ppl. we did, THE SIDE THE SIDE THE SIDE, PEEL BANANA, BOOGIE-WOOGIE WASHER WOMAN, THE COMMUNITY SONG, SHE BANGS, WE ARE LASALLIAN, AND CHA LA LA LEH-RO.

trust me, it was very challenging to make sure the kids follow your instructions. next, we were splited up into our groups. songs were played, and we were taught the actions on the spot. here, i have to say, mission! u guys did a fantastic job. you guys managed to dance with the songs and all. wonderful (:

okay, time was running out, we took group pictures and left. (i slept on the way back lol) they were disturbing me, trying to irritate me and make me piss off, but too bad, u all failed :P

well, then we had reflection and everything. closing ceremony and everyone left. oh oh of course, we cut up the flag, everyone was given a part of it (i took the cute frog! :P) hehe. okay then they left ): !@#$%^ i swear i miss u all. i miss u all damn fking much. although at times u all were irritating, you all left a deep impression in my heart and i'll rmb u all forever! omgomgomg. I FUCKING MISS U ALL. opps sorry.

haha, ot had to do final clean up and stuff. clare,rach, iggy, ted, ryan, donald and i went to pizza hut to eat(: ryan and ted left. 5 of us went to roxy square. we were all quite tired, and that clare! order pizza then dont want eat. tsk.

then in the middle, somethings happened, ahem.

okay, cabbed home with clare. yeap. thats it

CAMPSICK!!! OH WELLS, LIFE IS LIKE THIS. ALL GOOD THINGS EVENTUALLY COME TO AN END, IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW WELL U MAKE USE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES AT THAT POINT OF TIME.

MISS AND LOVE ALL OF YOU <3 I'LL REMEMBER THIS FOREVER.

翻著我們的照片 想念若隱若現
Flipping through our photographs, thoughts of [you] are visible yet invisible

去年的冬天 我們笑得很甜
Last year's winter, we laughed very sweetly

看著妳哭泣的臉, 對著我說再見
Watching your tearstained face, telling me goodbye

來不及聽見　妳已走得很遠
[I] have yet to hear it when you've already walked so far

也許妳已經放棄我　也許已經很難回頭
Perhaps you have already given up on me, perhaps it is already very difficult to turn back

我知道是自己錯過　請再給我一個理由說妳不愛我
I know it's all my fault, please give me another reason, say you don't love me

就算是我不懂　能不能原諒我
Even if I don't understand, can [you] forgive me?

請不要把分手當作妳的請求
Please don't use parting (breakup) as your request

我知道堅持要走 是妳受傷的藉口
I know wanting to go is your wound's excuse

請妳回頭　我會陪妳一直走到最後
[Can] you please turn back, I will accompany you until the very end

就算沒有結果　我也能夠承受
Even if there is no conclusion, I can still endure

我知道妳的痛　是我給的承諾
I know your pain is the promise I gave

妳說給過我縱容　沉默是因為包容
You said [you] gave me tolerance, and silence was because of acceptance

如果要走　請妳記得我　如果難過　請妳忘了我
If [you] want to go, please remember me, if [you] feel sad, please forget me

Rain falls continuously
Why doesn't the flower bloom?
Despite my careful watering
you just say you won't love and don't love

I watch and appreciate the sorrow alone
Love is left with only helplessness
I kept refusing to guess
White emptiness will always fill the gap
between the black keys of the piano

Missing a piece
it can never be exciting
How can two hearts that rely on one another say goodbye
You know better than I do, yet you still want me to say it

Loving so deeply can make people crazily courageous
I betray myself
to reach your expectations
Letting go, not asking anything, and say goodbye

Let it be the last indulgence I give you
Coldly, drearily, mildly (I) will no longer watch (over you)
As long as you can be happy
(My) heart has only one regret

Who can I still ask to
Before you close the door
look back again for me
see if (our) snippets are still there


雨
不停落下来
花
怎么都不开
尽管我细心灌溉
你说不爱就不爱
我一个人欣赏悲哀
爱只剩下无奈
我一直不愿再去猜
钢琴上黑键之间
永远都夹着空白
缺了一块就
不精采
紧紧相依的心如何Say goodbye
你比我清楚还要我说明白
爱太深会让人疯狂的勇敢
我用背叛自己
完成你的期盼
把手放开不问一句
当作最后一次对你的溺爱
冷冷清清淡淡今后都不管
只要你能愉快
有一句感慨
还能够跟谁对白
在你关上门之前
替我再回头看看
那些片段
还在不在
心

we're left with, used to bes. if it was possible, i would turn time back and lock myself there, where we shared our love and happiness. but now its all gone. " Can we get this back to how it used to be? " thats the question.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the
first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I used to reach for you when
I got lost along the way.
I used to listen.
You always had just the right thing to say.
I used to follow you.
Never really cared where we would go,
Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the
first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?

I look around me,
And I want you to be there
'Cause I miss the things that we shared.
Look around you.
It's empty, and you're sad
'Cause you miss the love that we had.

You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around,
The only one around.

We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the
first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how
it used to be? Yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be, yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be.

whats the point of saying sorry when it was all going to happen again? whats the point of making me happy when you were going to hurt me all over again? you're practically toying with my feelings, toying as in make me sad then happy then sad and it goes on.

so many things i want to say to you, yet you dont even care whether i'm dead or alive. i still have my chinese holiday homework to do, but i chose to go to ur sch for training just to see you. you mean so much to me yet i mean so little to you.

everyday i try so hard to get you out of my mind, even if its just for a second. but i can't. all my mind thinks of is you. but you can easily forget about me for like hours, even for days i'm sure you'll be able to.

what am i to you? nothing more than a normal friend, perhaps less than that even.

i dont know what you want or what i should do.





lost.

i need a good friend badly now i swear. someone who i can talk too, someone who understands me, someone who isn't so shallow as the others. someone who doesnt mind talking to me 24/7, someone who cares about me, someone who loves me.

i've gained so much and yet lost it all cos i din't know how to treasure them. now i can feel the loneliness within me.

someone come save me please.
