I’m finally back after spending most of my nights away from home after exams.
The time spent at Tanjong Puteri camp was very good and time passed quickly. There was recreational time, where I retouched soccer, basketball, table-tennis, squash, and swimming. Food and space was abundant, but more the fellowship I enjoyed, and the opportunity to listen to the many touching testimonies. Messages by Rev Tan and Yong impacted me the most, and the theme on Nehemiah, was clear as if I was brought there with a time machine.
Today would be the start of my internship with ByteSquare which would carry on into my 1st week of my next semester. I’ll be working on MyHomeTone and the FaceBook platform. Hometone is a Call & SMS service which allows international calls (to your handphone) and sms at a cheaper rate.
Activities, experiences on my new job would be written at my separate developer’s blog.
Although exams are over, life’s not a single moment less hectic than school term.
So here’s the track for my trip from KL back to Singapore on Aeroline on Monday.
Tuesday to Friday is Music Camp in school, where there’s fun practicing music, playing games, attending Masterclasses, eating, talking, running to and fro places, losing sleep.
Lots of moments are going on other than myself eg. Brother’s back from Malaysia & Daddy’s going into Malaysia. Next Monday we are going in again. Then Christmas, then new year, then work, then school’s reopening.
I’m now in Swiss Inn (Jalan Sultan/Jalan Petaling/Petaling Street/Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur), enjoying an hour of free Internet usage.
Its been a day of traveling, eating, shopping (1 day at Sungei Wang), buying and spending on tons of stuff. Among the stuff bought?
A large size Doraemon stuff toy =)
Here’s GPS log starting from the coach ride at Johor Bahru. And yes, it the first time I’m travelling on a double decker aircon bus.
(after I experiencing classic 42-seater (Bus Skolar type), to VIP, to super-VIP, to super-super-VIP buses).
This is part 1. The laptop battery only lasted 2+ hours, the 2nd part of the journey was tracked usign my phone
More detailed stories later. 3 mins of usage left! See ya!
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans 12:15
This week Mr Ee passed away, and the 2nd funeral I attend in 2 weeks. Apart from my grandmother, he’s an elderly whom I’ve seen and interacted more than other elderlies of the wakes of I’ve attended. His testimonies in church and the love seen through his family members touches me. Although I always never feel too sad, I’m start to realise the grief that the love ones face may be more than what I understand.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
As mentioned, statistics from my GPS dumps taking Sentosa Skyride and Luge.
