I'm back! ♥ 2:17 AM
Theolo has ended, and all of us have to come down Mount Sinai.. Are our faces shining like Moses? Well, probably not since we are not that holy. Of course, all things have an end so we are all reluctant to leave.Since i was 15, i always have a retreat at my Father's house to reflect and learn His word. No televisions, no computers, no mp3s, no contact with the world. All these makes you take a break from the world. Its not as bad as it sounds really, i find it better than having a holiday overseas.
Many things happened in theolo. The one that hit me most is my dog. He passed away on the 23rd of December 2005 by food poisoning which i suspect that is given by our Malay neighbours. I mean who else? My Grandparents are like the only Chinese in the village. Of course, i have no evidence but i believe Max won't run so far out into the streets. Well, he's a good dog most of the time and i will miss him very much although i'm his shit picker but i miss that job. I guess i still haven't get over him, and the fact of not seeing him anymore since i'm tearing up again. Max is the first loved one that i know very well and is close to to pass away. That kind of pain is one that i never experienced before, even break ups are not that bad. Good bye my best friend and brother, you will always be in my heart.
I left theolo with more responsibilites. As a counselor, i learned a lot in theolo like how to understanding others, calm the girls when they are too stressed with tests, cope with girls crying and most of all understand myself better. You see, sometimes i feel lonely since i'm the only counselor for the first two weeks and the people sees you as 'the counselor' and have the tendency to be not so close to you for i dunno what reasons. Its not really their fault too since i'm not in the same class with them and don't really know what's going on. Yeah, so the only real close friend i had was God. Fortunately, Hui Ping came in the last week of theolo or i probably end up at Adam Road hospital.
After theolo ended, i have to stay over at church to look after the Australians and South Africans but i stayed only for a night since i love my bed and my parents are only coming on wednesday(theolo ended on tuesday) We bought the people out to Chinatown, my home, zoo etc and its was really tiring.
On Thursday(29th December 2005), Aunt Susan(Fresa's mother) called me to ask me to tell Fresa that her grandmother died. I was the one who have to break the news to her and her face changed when i told her that. We were bringing out the foreigners to Bugis and bugis was the place that i told her the news. I still can remember vividly the place we were standing- outside MacDonalds. I asked her whether she needs a hug and i gave her a hug then she cried on my shoulder. The first time a person cried on my shoulder because most of the time people stand beside me to cry or i'm the one crying. Its was pretty awkward since we are of the same height but nevertheless, its a shoulder to cry on. At least she felt better. When she was crying, a verse came to my mind.
Ecclesiastes 4:2,4 => A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to weep, and a time to laugh
I supposed that I, as a friend should stick by through thick and thin. That's my principle. So that's was why i travelled nearly the whole of Singapore because we need to get her stuff from church since she was supposed to stay with the foreigners until they left and i have to send her home then go home to pack my stuff to stay with the foreigners.
We had great fun though but again all things have an end. On Friday, the South Africans left at around 4 plus and again tears and hugs. You get the picture. Later that day, the Australians' turn.
Theolo really ended...
*I haven't have the time to upload my pictures probably next week so be patient!
