It’s been almost 3 weeks since I’ve last updated.. so how’s everything? I’ve (finally!) turned 18, just got my provisional license and I’m waiting for law lessons to start on the 17th of February. Apparently classes are all very full and I think I’d have to do a lot of self-studying to do. Apparently if I can pick up the driving lessons well I can take less than 10 lessons. Hopefully I’ll get everything done by March, and have my license so that I can start vrooming around Brunei (where else, right?) by then during the short term break. Mm.Results for both O Level and AS & A Level have just been released from the schools today. I’m retaking my paper so I’ll be taking 5 subjects this June and I am not planning to take them again this November except for maybe Maths. I can just see the finance room being fulllllly jampacked tomorrow! Haiya everyone also like this, leave everything until the last minute, haha :p It’s cuh-cuh-cuh-crazy! Tomorrow’s the start for all the O Level graduates to come to the respective 6th form schools; this is all very fast! Soon we’ll be staring into the eyes of new and familiar faces by the end of March.. Chinese girls especially grumbling while they adjust their tudongs and spending long hours during the induction period. Ah, the lovely bells of yore are already ringing.

Back from Singapore like a week ago and I’ll let the pictures explain themselves (as they always do) :)

I LOVE THE MRT/PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN SINGAPORE.

My firs time having Fish & Co. :)

Swedish models posing for the tshirts that were on sale..
This is Heart of God Church at the SingPost Centre.

Video testimonies that were done brillllliantly. First class, really.

After the first night

KORG keyboards used for strings, and Roland used for keys/effects :)

Here’s a place we all know and love..

Us with the guest speaker for Ignite, Ps Joakim :) he’s really cool and he’s got moves!

This is the EZ link card that has gotten me everywhere in Singapore!
(I thought they really had Hello Kitty EZ link cards, turns out that Yvonne’s cousin-in-law just placed a sticker over the card…)

City Harvest Church at The Expo. These pictures are really pale in comparison. Not only is it packed with people, but it is also filled with God’s presence, even at the moment you walk in.. It was my 3rd time there and each time I go it gets better :)

One of the best meals I had during my trip was on the last day at Raffles City Shopping Centre. I was with Yvonne and her cousin who brought us there for lunch on Monday.

Continuation of this post, soon :)
