HONOURS NIGHT!!

its 11.27am now...

wow... i just woke up...
i reached home at midnight...
so tired... haha...
but it has been a good day...

yesterday morning, jiang wei came over to my house at 9.30am to leave his full-u and stuff before we went off together to visit jun ning...

at KK, jun ning was looking much better.. they had already removed the tube from his stomach through his nose... the tube for his drip was moved to his left hand from the right as the needle had already been in for 3 days... he told us that he could be discharged on monday after 5 days of anti-biotics.... yea..

i was glad that he had made new friends with the nursing students from ngee ann poly... haha... oh ya... jun ning had not used the pacifier that we got for him.. haha.. so we made him suck the pacifier while jiang wei filmed it... lol. then jun ning wanted to go to the toilet, so he pressed the button to call for the nurse who helped him bring his drip to the toilet... meanwhile, jiang wei watched tv at one of the activity corners while i played with a toy that requires skill to move beads across coloured wires that were twisted all over... i found it so much fun, but jiang wei said that i had a 'deprived childhood'... lol.

anyway, jun ning's classmates came soon after that and we showed them the video that we filmed.. haha.. it was really funny.. they also brought him a banner that they made... it was really long and it said 'Get well soon, Jun Ning!" it was really nice! they asked me to help them to hang up the banner high up on the wall of his bed (i guess it was coz i am tall :) haha..

but then i got an sms from ms lim that i had to be in school by 1pm.. so i quickly left with jiang wei to have lunch at KFC in Novena Square.. then we rushed back home to get our stuff before heading to school.. then while i was having my meeting, jiang wei helped me to polish my equipment! thx man! :)

then at 2pm, the councillors started to gather and we all went to prepare the hall for the event... so everyone was busy preparing, we got dressed into full-u at 3.30pm, the UGs came at abt 4pm, had an early dinner at 5pm... then the welcome party consisting of alistair, jin shi, wenyan, yinxiu and myself went to stand-by at the foyer at 5.30pm... then the long wait began...

we waited anxiously until about 7pm before the Guest-of-Honour finally came... it was a really grand affair! jiang wei and phillip did a great job with the bagpipes, giving her a grand entrance all the way up to the hall... it was a great experience being a part of it...

after ushering her up, we went back to our seats to join in for the event... after the worship, speeches and presentations... it was finally the prize presentation ceremony.. it was a really long wait as i was one of the last few ppl to get my award.. but it was really exciting for everyone as we cheered for each other when we went up... when it was finally my turn to go up... i was so nervous that i just went up to the person presenting the award, shook her hand then took the plaque without even waiting for a photo! lol. i feel so weird now, coz i was really nervous then that i could not wait to get off the stage.. haha..

after it was finally over, i rushed down back to my table and left my award there.. then i quickly rushed down to the council room to get changed into my blazer... everything was happening so fast... after i got changed, i realised that my hair was in a huge mess! i was so worried that i quickly got wax then put it on my hair! but i didn't know how to style it! i don't normally 'style' my hair! lol.. so i quickly rushed out of the toilet to see who could help me! then i saw alistair in the council room and asked him to help me with my hair... lol. after that, i quickly rushed up as i was supposed to serve at the VIPs' table for dinner and i did not want to miss it... but when i got up, my councillors were shocked at my hair! lol. then janelle used her hand and ruffled my hair! iwas so surprised! she took me out of the hall again and helped me to style my hair! haha.. it was so weird...

when my makeover was finally over, i made it in time for the school song, after which, the dinner reception.. it was fun serving food and drinks to the VIPs as i had never done it before... lol.. during dinner, i was so happy that they played my video tribute to the 5th Student Council! haha.. my efforts had paid off!!

then the photo-taking began! i took photos with those 4H ppl who were there, with jiahui & greg & yc, (lol.. photo was too bright!) with greg, his mum and my mum! lol.. so all happened to fast!! finally it was time to send the GOH and VIPs off... it was encouraging to hear compliments about our councillors from them... i also think that the UGs on duty did a GREAT JOB!! i'm so proud of them!! it must have been really hard on them!!


then it was feasting time!! as there were still lots of food and drinks left in the hall, the councillors, backstage crew and UGs were allowed to come up to eat the food! haha.. it was really rewarding for them!! then it was more photo-taking for us councillors at the stage!! haha... after having so much fun, the job still had to be done, so we all helped out to clear up the hall...

after debriefs and all, everyone finally was dismissed to go home and have a good rest!! i really think that this experience will be remembered fondly by many ppl... there are more memories to be captured like for the upcoming investiture... haha..

to end off, THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS THANKSGIVING & HONOURS NIGHT SUCH A SUCCESSFUL ONE!!!!

(anyway, its 1.45pm now... haha...)

KK Hospital Visit...

Jun Ning has Appendicitis...

he had an operation this morning at about 4am to remove his appendix..

so after school today, hong zhen, jieyi, stephanie, jiahui, keqin, jiang wei, gregory, yong chun, zheng jie, heng yong and i went down to KK hospital, Ward 55, Bed 24 to visit him... i had never been to a hospital for quite a while... so it was really new for me...

we bought him a "Men's Health" Magazine & a pacifier for him to pass the time... i wonder what he's gonna do with those things.. haha.. anyway, it was really painful to see him in the ward... he was attached with many tubes around his body... as if he was some electrical appliance... haix... i still feel so guilty that i even suggested to have lunch when he complained of stomach pains on Sunday (thinking that it was gastric)... i think i made it worse...

anyway, we went for lunch when the nurses said that they had to give Jun Ning medication and closed up the curtain... heng yong came later, so i went up with him to visit Jun Ning... then he showed us his scars from the operation which was even more painful and guilt-evoking... haix... Jun Ning also told us how the nurses gave him the medication... they put the tablet up his-

i think you wouldn't want to know the rest... it gave me and heng yong the chills...

anyway, i will continue to pray for Jun Ning to have a speedy recovery... and i shall go for the Honours Night rehearsal tmr...

YOUTH Sunday + MILK run

hey...

YOUTH SUNDAY WAS GREAT!!!

i had so much fun... (almost) everything was run by us, youths!! the band, ushers, set-up crew, speaker... i was an usher and i wore an orange "HUG ME" T-shirt outside my church auditorium to welcome ppl to church! lol.

Sunday church service was so different! there was even a space in front of the stage for people to sit on the floor! there was ice-breaker, dancing and a presentation of videos about the youth cells and the recent @lien Invasion Youth Camp at Batam!

unfortunately, i had to leave early and bring along the video camera (my sister was filming the event with it) and i rushed down to school from Orchard... i had no time to change so i wore the "HUG ME" T-shirt all the way down to Yio Chu Kang in the MRT... i think i didn't receive any weird stares... i think...

yea. so anyway, i made to school on time and we set off in 2 buses... when we finally arrived, i realised that we had stopped opposite Great World City, which was just beside my church... i wasted my time rushing down to school and ended up coming back to the same place! lol. but it was fun.

when we got to the ZOUK carpark for the MILK run, it was so crowded and noisy!! i had never seen the place before although my church was so nearby!! there were so many people!! we also met alistair, anadee, jinshi, jonathan and stephanie... we waited for the bagpipe band and pd to perform as we watched the various categories of races being flagged off! the community race had over 8,000 participants! it was really massive... 10mins after the flag off, more than half of the participants had not even reached the starting line!!!

the performance finally commenced at about 4.30pm... i will post the videos here soon... i think it should be quite stable.. i used jinshi's shoulder as a 'tripod stand' to support my video camera... haha...

anyway, today clement, gregory and jiang wei came over to my house to 'study' after we had lunch at food junction in j8... haha.. it was fun..

hmm... but on a more serious note... i found out that Jun Ning is in hospital... pls pray for him everyone! i know he will get better...
