Back From Phuket

Well, I'm back from my short trip to Phuket today.

Left on the 7.45am flight from Changi Airport. My uncle came along with me, giving me confidence to fly alone. It's my first time flying alone, see. Not very sure of the procedures.

Anyway, the first day in Phuket (Monday)...
Went to visit the beaches along the west side of the island. It was a beautiful sight. The sea is so clear and calm, the sand is white like flour. Awesome view!The effects of the tsunami is still evident in some places. I saw rows of shophouses in the process of being restored. Some business were up and running, whereas some have not begun repair work due to shortage of fund. I'm speechless to see what mother nature can do. But humans still have our own way out.

That evening, went to eat authentic southern Thai food. Had to say I couldn't tahan the food. Delicious but it was way too spicy for me. Ate until my mouth and stomach was on fire, litterally.

The second day, my dad took us for a car ride along the eastern coast of Phuket. Unlike the west, this side is full of mangrove swamp. It is still untouch, and the sight is amazing. Too bad I can't attach some photoes here. Dunno how.

The weather there is super, super hot. The soarching sun was like draining every bit of energy out of me. Had very bad headache. Couldn't enjoy much of the trip later in the afternoon.

Spent the few days there being with my parents and sis. Really enjoyed the trip. We didn't go out to the sea as I wanted to spent the time just being with them. Anyway, been out to the sea a few times already....jelak, nothing new to see.

On the way back, had a spectecular bird's eye view of the west coast of Malaysia. Saw Langkawi, Penang and all clearly. The plane flew so much to the south of Singapore, I even saw Indonesia. Thank God for the fine weather.

Well, here I am back in campus. Having only a few days of my holiday left to do project work. Brought my stuff to do during my trip but didn't even start. Yeah, that's about it.

Helplesness

Finally, the wait is over. The one week break is here. At least I have one week free from lectures and tutorials. Have finished some of my mid term quizes and part of the burden lifted. Wow, what a relief. So many of my friends keep saying they're gonna die! But thank God, we're still alive :)

Will be flying over to Phuket to visit my parents and my dearest half tomorrow morning. Yezz, can't wait to see them. Yeah, I know it was just last week we were together, but hey, I enjoy being together. big, big smile...

But will be bringing my project along with me....sigh, what a burden. Imagine I got 5 projects to do. FIVE!!! That's insane man! Worst, 2 is personal work. Ok, one day one project. HAH!! If only can....

On the more spiritual side, been feeling helpless. One of my friend just told me she may not want to attend church again. I dunno why, but I feel she's turning her away from God. Why? Just 1 month ago I brought her to the church I'm attending and she said she was really blest and felt God. And the next two Sunday, I asked her again if she wanted to go again, she said no, telling me she has lost her faith. Why? She was saved in a country I cannot mention (due to persecution) and held on to that faith until now. But why here in Singapore she turned away? It's my first time having a friend telling me that she's giving up.... sigh.....feeling helpless. But I know salvation is from God alone. Nothing I can do but pray and be a friend to her. Can't describe the grief I feeling for her. What more about Jesus. sigh....

Yeah, hope I will always hold firm.

Over load!

Just realised that I haven't updated my blog for ages. Arrgghhhh! Been so busy lately. It's mid term now and I have tests, assignments and activities to join. Time is just passing by like lightning. If only it could slow down.

Anyway, had a great CNY reunion with all my family. So nice to be together again. But as a result of eating rubish, I was down with food poisonning for two days, out of the four days I was home. So bad! Worse still, after I was ok, my sis was next. And on the day I was leaving, she still wasn't ok. Felt bad that I had to leave.... ok.... had to admit, I shed a few tear when bidding farewell to my family. It was very emotional for me, eventhough I not the one to show it outwardly, I couldn't help it. Very sad, as I wouldn't see then until I dunno yet.

It's then I realise how much I miss my family, the people back home.

Anyway, the few days back home resulted in a pile of work to do. So much to catch up. It's nothing but studying now. What a life! Sometimes, I wonder if this is all we live for. Thank God, we have Christ that gives us a reason of living.

A dedication to all my friends

I'm super busy lately. Feel as though all my energy is sipping out of me eventhough I make sure I have enough rest. Study and study and study, plus other campus activities and time for friendship bonding.

Can't believe I have 3 test, they call it quiz here, immediately after CNY. So unfair! How am I to enjoy when I have to read around 30 chapters? Argghhhh!!!

Anyway, I dedicate this song to you guys. Click the hyperlink below.
Thanks for the friendship.
