Back from Thailand..... and back from PBL symposium.....
Back from Thailand last saturday night..... feeling so tired..... i was in church the next day ard 12:30pm helping my team to do the fund raising..... kinda sad abt it as I couldn't wake up earlier on to help..... but in the end I'm glad I'm still useful to the team..... nothing's impossible with God i guess.....
Bought very little stuff back..... so unexpected..... i guess each time i wanna spend, i ask myself whether is it really needed..... remember the poor..... often upset when i take a cab to church or elsewhere..... which i did for sunday and yesterday.....
Yesterday, the PBL symposium really bring forth insight and I'm glad to be in the right poly..... a poly that really aims for excellence..... we are in our 2nd year of establishment and we can have so many major events..... refresh.....
Today's my first day in class after all the hectic schedule..... finally can relax a bit..... today's UT (Understanding Test) is tough..... my lousy science..... hai~..... all in all, i'm glad to be in where I am today and will seek Him first..... learnt a lot of things.....
Poly Forum 2004 isn't tat fantastic..... disappointment in quite a number of stuff..... esp the narrow minded facilitators..... but all in all, i like the fellowship..... it's really nice..... yeah..... sunday..... erm..... nothing much except fund raising and PBL Symposium Recee..... yesterday..... attended the symposium itself and it's cool..... 'free workshop', goodie bag and enjoyed my duties yesterday..... never felt so pressed for time and yet so fun..... missed the times in Bangkok..... will never forget this poly forum though it kinda sux in some sense.....
Thank God for my speedy recovery of my health, sleep, etc.....
In His Love,
Kenny Ong

Fret Not!!
Anyway, today's basic science lesson is really tough but still manageable..... the Reflection Journal is kinda tough..... did ask Genia for help..... thank God she did help to clarify my doubts..... thx genia!!!!! Struggled through the lesson today but learnt quite a number of things.....
Had a meeting in regards to PBL symposium, we were arranged to what we want and the MCs are the in-charge of the main groups..... thank God for giving me so many chances..... needa fix my client's PC early this morning at 7 or 8am..... gotta fly.....
Lastly, met Genia..... so cool..... we always got the same and right timing..... when I tried calling her, her phone line went dead and she was trying to call my number too!! haha..... sms also the same..... I'm beginning to like her character, attitude, lifestyle, etc..... Genia, I'll be there for ya..... as a friend, gd friend or maybe best friend!! I realised tat liking someone is not abt how often or how much u meet the person..... it's abt ur walk with God and ur relationship wif God and the others..... Genia, hope we can aim towards our life-time goal..... and purpose..... *hugs*
I'm tired..... rest first b4 i start work again.....
