Yes yes... i promised to blog about lots of stuff...
Shall start from last Tuesday.

Wednesday i went to help out with the late Archbishop's funeral.
I remembered the last time i saw him was during carolling in december.
Although his health wasn't in tip top condition, he still got off his bed and started chatting with us.
He even clapped and hummed along to our songs.
It was such a moving scene.
Definitely i wasn't close to him in the past, but he has indeed left a lasting memory with me and I will cherish the times that God has given me to interacted with him.

Something not very nice happened during that day too.
I witnessed an argument between two friends.
Two friends who had a really close friendship in the past, but have drifted away.
And part of the reason is because of me.
Yes, one of them told me that it wasn't my fault, and that everything happened because of their difference in opinion.
But they managed to get along fine for the past 7 years.
I just don't see how their friendship can take such a drastic turn. Hai.

Last Thursday we went for Seth's birthday celebration.
Had dinner at Fish and Co.
Seth had to stand on the chair while the Fish and Co. employees were doing their cheer. And he was so enthusiastic about it. SPORTSMANSHIP!!!



























After that we went to Luo Yi's house to chill out and play some games.
And i got high so fast.
I had to drink Fen's share cause she was going to drive later.
So i had a double dosage. And usually, i don't drink that fast.
It was so embarrassing that i turned red so fast... but what to do, good blood circulation lar... =P
All in all, it was indeed a fun experience.
Got to know new friends like Shi Hui, Luo Yi and Kelvin...
Floorballers are indeed a bunch of fun people.





































Friday was Fides core team meeting.
We didn't have our core team meeting in the boring gsr this time. It was in Raffles City Starbucks.
I thought it was good as it might help lift the very tense atmosphere that i knew we were going to have.
But no, it did not really help.
I realise as we progress on our term in office, the differing opinions from people start to appear.
It seems like the people in the core team are heading in all sorts of different direction.
A direction that they personally want for themselves, not a direction the community should have.
Yes, we can all talk it out and compromise and get to a decision in the end.
But the process is just so draining.
Everyone has to argue so strongly for their stand.
I pray hard that when we have the next core team meeting, everyone will get a clearer picture.
Just praying...

Over the weekend i had bondue mock camp...
Gosh, the camp was fun, but disgusting at the same time.
Shall not reveal too much now, or else it would spoil the fun for the next mock camp facilitators and the freshman. (not that the freshmen are reading my blog)

After bondue camp i rushed down to St. Teresa's for WYD spiritual preparation session.
Somehow i thought this spiritual preparation session was going to be something interesting and new.
And i guess it was, just that i felt the ambience was not ideal.
Yes, it was in the Chapel, but precisely it's in the Chapel that's why it wasn't ideal.
The Chapel is a place to pray and communicate with God.
Not a place for games like Charades.
But i guess through the session, we all got to know one another better.
And i am glad the session achieved its objective.

This week's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was spent in school getting people to sign up for Matriculation.
We are still short of people for the camp.
So I hope by international matriculation, there will be enough people for the camp.
On Monday I met the usual floorballers for lunch to celebrate Hui fen's birthday. Yay!!!
Happy birthday to my FBB!!!
We had lunch at NYDC. It was a nice meal and we had a beautiful cake filled with 20 candles.
I wanted something special, so we decided to go for 20 small candles instead of 2 bid ones. Haha.
Fen had so much trouble blowing. Haha.
Clive and the rest posted her present to her, whereas I prepared the scrapbook for her.
some of the pictures of the scrapbook is attached below.
My first time doing a scrapbook single-handedly ok. *pats myself on the shoulder*
Good job desiree!!!



















































And i will skip all the way to today.
I went to Emix's dance performance today.
It was interesting.
Personally i have never been to a concert which is entirely dance. Musicals yes, but dance, nope.
And moreover, it was hip hop.
But i did witness many talents in SMU.
The people around me whom i wouldn't have known they had so much talent if i didn't go for the concert.
And i really thank God for giving them these talents so that they can share their joy with others.
To see the joy on their faces when the curtain closed, it was worth much more than the amount i paid to watch the concert.





























Flying off to Sydney for World Youth Day tomorrow.
I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED.
I guess i will update more when i get back.
