I CAN'T BELIVE I GOT SUNBURN frm today's orientation!!! wad was i doing?? walking arnd wid my og along the track? playing games? come to think of it, all the games are outdoor in the sun n none of them are in the shelter lyk outside SC or sumthing? hmm...no wonder i got a tan! i tot i'll only get tat when i swim under hot weather or when i went for OBS last time but now n this?! haha. jus surprises me when i first looked into the mirror before shower. took a closer look n exclaimed! but it's not too bad. red at my nose n cheeks. looks kinda nice though. ha. jus hope it wun be so bad till it peels!

saw xiong wei n his frens at the bus stop. greeted him n naturally, his frens ask who i am. wid my ear phones plugged into my ears, i din hear much but roughly make out wad they were saying wid the way their mouth moves. fell aslp in the bus too. den when it was my turn to alight, found out tat one of his frens alighted at the same bus stop as me n crossed the road to transfer bus. wanted to greet him but tot of leaving him alone. walked to the nxt bus stop where i can transfer bus. when i was abt to sit, the bus came, boarded it n hoped i'll not see tat guy. ha. to the opposite of my guess, he was there. looking at me. he recognised me. so well, jus make the initial move to intro n tok to him. wad was my first qn? where he stay. i din even ask for his name till i was abt to alight. funny. hmm...come to think of it, was i too bold? was it too weird? cos traditionally, gals ain't suppose to make the first move so was i wrong?? gee..to say it nicely, was i too outgoing n to say it crudely, was i talktative? hmm. well, anyway, caught his name. an interesting one. kaynes. haha. i've forgotten. come to think of it, i wonder if i can recognise his face. ha. in any case, made one more acquaintance! yeah!

okay. today's orientation was good. i rmb everybody's name now. yeah. incl the new ones. jus tat kayee n ka boon went missing when doin the stn games so din really get to know them well. met clara. nice gal. an 18 year old. i wonder if i shld tok to her lyk she's a 17 yr old or if i shld tok to her wid a bit more respect. hmm...the way i tok to junjie was lyk a fren but tat's cos he was formerly frm my sch n so there was a connection. so then, maybe i shld tok to clara lyk a 17 yr old? she failed her o lvl eng 2 yrs back but when i hear her conversed in eng, it was pretty good! i really wonder wad happen. oh! n she's a National Youth Bowler!! tat's super cool!!! haha. so during the time when she was waiting 2retake o's, she trained for the Nationals. so pro! haha.

today, met victor for morning worship. sang my best. initially, i tot of not singing n try to praise God widout singing jus lyk wad one church did last time but well, it's tough for me to conc?? i dunno. but when i started singing, it's better for me to immerse into his presence. hmm. perhaps there's sumthin wrong wid my attitude cos it's not abt the music, my dear, but it's abt God. it's not abt the words too, but it's abt God. okay. so bear tat in mind, my dear sharon!

wad's nxt? er. almost couldn't speak in the morning. kept whispering to melissa cos she also got sore throat. introduction time din wanna shout so got ppl to intro me. shawn was my facilitator. nice guy. scholar. but lyk my induction ogl, shao ming, he also left us alone for sum time. so i guess, perhaps, i shld try tat method?? yup. perhaps lyk tat it'll push the ppl to tok more. plus, had seen how rachael n jing xiu led our og n kept asking us to tok. quite pressurizing n in the end, my prev og wasn't bonded.

stn games was fun!! it's always my most fun n fav part of orientation. got wet. similiar games. new games. enjoyed battleship. volunteered myself to be the ship so i can get wet but in the end, it was wet only at my shorts n not on my entire body. grr. shld have wet my face too. den i wun get sun burn! haha. er. i enjoyed the chicken butt n wing n i eat you eat part. esp rolling the item into the box. mine was the tennis ball which was the hardest n i managed to do it for the first time. yeah! er. yes. bonded well wid the og. worked as a team. i shld say this og is not too bad but dunno if we'll still stick arnd together aft we split.

okay. there are 150 christians in the JC1 cohort. counted roughly. the DP toked to us n encouraged us but i prefer the prev time when the principal toked to us. tat tok was better. n there were so many messages. keep nodding off. grr. den see vaguely the guitarist playing a guitar tat is similiar to wad victor jus bought. hmm. interesting! pray tat all 150 plus of us will shine lyk stars for u lord! shine for you!! n i'm reminded of the card tat anna had made for us. it's a aluminium foil wrapped arnd a cardboard n it writes "Who are we reflecting". it's a good reminder cos the aluminium foil do reflect light. but there was a distorted view when i put it in front of my face (naturally). den i was thinking, am i reflecting a distorted view of God? am i showing Christ's image in every word n action??

time n again, the song sang by corrine may "Angels in disguise" kept playing in my mind even till now. it's a splendid song esp since it has a story line. it's superb. n 2 things hit me. 1 is to always look arnd me n thank God for the many angels He had sent to touch my life. Eleena, Pastor Janet, Victor, my family, Pamela... the 2nd thing is whether i'd been an angel to someone. it's similiar to wad i'd written above abt reflection. cos to be an angel to sumone, it's only done thru words n actions. so am i? n can i strive to be one everyday? to touch someone's life no matter big or small?? yes! i want to! definitely!! tat's my reply to you, Lord!

yup. met victor aft everything ended. walked arnd. toked abt stuff at the balcony. my first time there. interesting n nice tables. n bid each other goodbye on the bridge. also explore the so call clock tower. went all the way to the top. looked down n commented on nice photographic angles n exclaimed when the half moon was seen thru one of the windows on the wall. den victor commented to go up n take a photo when it's sunrise cos the sunlight will pour in. hmm. it'll be nice but we'll be having morning worship when the sunlight pours in. hmm. perhaps nxt time when they say there's no morning worship k? den we still come at 7am n wait upstairs for the light to come in den take many pictures yea? looking forward to tat day! soaking in God's glory...haha...i lyk to see his creation of nature!
