JSS

Thanks to JSS, I suddenly find myself...

Going for bowling again...

Playing Baseball and attempting blockbuster Home Runs...

And getting a chance to camwhore in a yukata jinbei (super casual Japanese ethnic wear for your ojisan next door).

夏祭り! Summer Festival 2009!

Perspective

New vocab learnt from Steph: "Wholesome-looking" :D

What Do You See

Wa, nice leh, one of the nicer songs from these few years. First heard it only today LOL.

I somehow can't imagine the throngs of primary school kids sitting in stuffy school halls singing this song during comunity singing, but I'm not complaining :) We do need non-schoolkid-friendly songs once in a while la, huh?

Summer Thanksgiving

Now that summer is coming to an end, I'll give a general account (not the one on CORS) of what transpired during the sweltering season of fun.

Blazing the Music with Converse! Playing in the glass window display at Tangs wasn't exactly friendly on the acoustics, but we did have fun!

Xavier said he thought of this J-Rock hairstyle when he first looked at me. Encouraging, huh?

Bintan beach retreat with CVCF! A great time of fellowship, Tzu Char binging, Bintang Beer and hermit crab collection.

MusicMen!!!

All Saints' Church Student Camp, where I witnessed many brothers and sisters being used mightily by God for expanding His Kingdom.

Plus my own nostalgic night walk around AHS, marvelling at how old (concrete) meets new (concrete)

SHINE Youth Event at Orchard Road! I played bass for VOICES and REIS for the fringe event booths.

Stormtrooper from 501st! They're actually the most decent-looking ones at SHINE, among a whole throng of cosplayers.

CAC (Cultural Activities Club) Camp. I just found out that they'll have a finale this coming Friday where CAC will actually be publicised. Wow.

Too late, damage's done. Put me through 3 days of pure, unadulterated "Engin Camp Part 2". つまんない。

Marina Barrage really boasts a panoramic view I'd say.

Takeaways from the camp? A nice tan plus a sand sorcerer shot, LOL.

You'll bet I wanted some relief from that 3 days of awkwardness away from home! Got it at the following J-Studies Society camp!

I kind of missed JSS, 'cause most of the activities clashed with lessons and VOICES. I've gotta say they're a fun bunch!

Nice freshies and a CCA camp that's got its own character. Didn't waste my time.

Fun with old friends...

Enjoying Nighttime Sentosa

Manning stations and doing silly stuff like drinking with 10 straws

Playing Ponyo at the beach

Playing motion shots with DSLR. Again.

The glorious Jumpshot!

Burying Junhong in the sand and "building" a Gundam Wing Zero out of it. Carolyn can really draw, even on sand!

Halfway through the summer I found myself in the organising commitee of CVCF Freshmen Camp, doing programs with Chuling. When Jiamian first explained to me his concept of CORS bidding simulation - all for the purpose of giving the freshmen some hands-on before Round 1A actually starts - I never expected the project to scale up towards a fully working, formula-driven spreadsheet. We had great fun bidding for food items (which we agreed are the best form of incentive we can promise in a 1-day bidding game), but eventually the prizes proved to be... a tad too much to stomach, LOL.

I've enjoyed the CVCF camp experience lest year - simple but rewarding. I guess I can say the same for this year as well :)

Same Museum, different year.

I've come to love eagles especially after understanding the significance of the analogy in Isaiah 40

The real "Can of Worms"! If these are the larvae I can imagine how big the beetles will end up. The description says that they taste like shrimps when fried, but I'm not sure if I want to find out!

Our group winnings! I guess we got the more digestable combination.

The coming semester promises to be more hectic and eventful, and my prayer is still the same. To remember God in the excitement of my days of youth, and to deliver.
