Start of Attachment(IAP) month
Opps... Sorry for the late update again. I've been so busy since my attachment started. Enjoy my morning so much on 2nd Sept. I guess I won't forget the feelings that day. During afternoon, I went to the airport to fetch Ping & her sis at the airport when they just came back from their HongKong cum China trip.
On the 4th of Sept, my dread day has come. My first day of attachment. I was posted to National Environment Agency (NEA) head office. Cool, at least, it is near town area and not at West area. Everything was kind of last minute, when I don't even know which level of the building to report too. So I ended up at 19th floor, the HR department. I felt so strange and dare not ask about the pay too. Can you imagine? That I don't know who to report to on the 1st day, don't know about my pay and the worst is, I don't even know what time to report for work. Oh.. Really sorry to bother my Laison Officer (LO) on last friday, 1st Sept, AFTER OFFICE HOURS. Hope he forgives me! The office is so big and I get the big desk with computer and scanner. Ok, shall not talk about the office anymore. There are a lot of staffs and overall, they are quite nice to me.

On the friday evening 8th of Sept, I went over to Settlers' cafe at Clarke Quay outlet. It was an small scale outing organised by NP poly ministry for evangelistic purposes and I'm the IC. Managed to get Charmaine, YiLin and Marcus to join. Hope they have enjoy themselves that day.
A few of us from NP poly ministry gathered together at Esplanade on 11th Sept to have simple Japanese dinner and farewell James who is going into the army on 12th Sept. He is going over to join SP poly ministry and we wish him well.
That's James!
After my attachment work ended on 12th Sept evening, I hurried over to Aloha for the Faith @ work, Faith outlast camp. It was nice to see TP and NP students gathering that day and at the camp, I get to learn more about God through the sharing. A pity that I can't stay over cause I'm having my attachment the next day.
Result was out on 15th Sept morning and my result was terrible. Real bad. Although I didn't failed any modules. Probably, it's time for me to do some reflection.
Happy Birthday to Royston whose birthday falls on the 16th Sept. Hope you like the t-shirts present from us and the special present. It was great meeting up together to celebrate your birthday. Hope you enjoy as much as we do. The food & drink was nice at Changing Appetite at Marina Square.
Another big event going on that day was my NP class gathering at West Coast Park. We had a bbq together although not everyone was present, we still managed to gather a group of people with two lecturers, Mrs Mariam & Mr Tan.

Feeling very determined to keep fit & lose weight, I started my first step aerobics class at Hougang Sport Hall with Ling & Ping on 22nd Sept. The lesson was great and we got a good instructor. The steps were a bit familiar as I had my aerobics module before during Year 1 Sem 1. It's so fun. Do try it.
Finally, my second time to Pulau Ubin trip on 23rd Sept. This time round, with more people. Jeff Yeo, Ping, Ling, Ah Gu, Kenny Hang & me. We cycled most parts of the Ubin, had coconut drink & a sumptuous dinner together. We started talking about the days in Bowen when we were still in secondary schools when St. Gabriel people came into the picture. So hilarious when we joke about the swimming pool incident. We shall get together again soon.
As Glenn's birthday is on 25th Sept, Ling, Ping & I decided to get a cake for him since we are uncertain of what he likes. Hope he enjoy the cake and it's nice to get to know you! Happy 19th Birthday.

Somehow, I felt so sad on 24th Sept onwards till the last week of Sept. I felt so dejected that I decided to go for an isolation period. Didn't contact any of my friends for a few days cause I need to forsake certain thoughts like to forgive and to learn to forget things that I shouldn't continue to brood on. Please forgive me for not replying any sms or answer any phone call.
It has been long since I met up with Cheryl. We went over Suntec to do some shopping. Thanks for accompanying me although I wasn't in good mood.
Happy 21st Birthday to MeiYun whose birthday falls on 28th Sept. May the Lord bless you with a wonderful memories of your life and continue to depend on Him.
After aerobics class on 29th Sept, Ling, Ping & I rush over to downtown east after a quick bath for MeiYun's birthday party. We were so glad that we were able to make it on time for the cake-cutting ceremony. We had an enjoyable evening and stayed up late cause my dad came to fetch Ling, Wei Zhong, Ping & I back home.

Happy Birthday to Jeffrey Chan, Ah Gu, whose birthday falls on 30th Sept. May the Lord continue to bless you with good health and your faith with Him!
I miss the palm writing session with you although you might have forgotten it. Can't really blog my feelings out here but I hope you know who you are. All the words that I said to you, I really meant it. Even till now when you didn't contact me. Thanks for the memories you have given me. I'll remembered it forever. But do you really get to read this message?
