We all had a beautiful outing on thrusday with the few of us that made it down for this very outing :D... Though I didn't get to know most of the other sub com members such as racheal since she wasn't down, I got to know my fellow sub com logistic member Zach alot more since he came down that day! I was indeed disappointed when I heard that Jotum, Ian and Jeanette couldn't make it down either :( that didn't dampen my spirits that much :D

I had alot of fun chatting and playing various random games with the people :D... We seriously did alot of random stuff, and alot of dunking too HAHA... Poor Cherene had to offend the guys that in the end threw her in the sea, twice! HAHA United the guys stood!! Oh and Poor Sophie too since she was so light, dunking her was a piece of cake!!! HAHA

Charmaine came alot later cause I think she had something on, coincedentally swapping places with Sophie who had to leave right after lunch :(. But anyways, we just swam around the shore and chatted... And we hadn't realise how long we spent till it drizzled, to realise that we've been in the water for abt 3 hrs!! So we finally decided to change out at abt 4 ++ p and head on home :D

I guess the activities weren't that amazing or fun-filled as it sounds, but the company was just amazing!

Thanks for organising people!! :D:D

Sometimes there are some things so beautiful in life that you'll need not actually have them as your own :)

That probably sums up the night of Spirito. I wasn't really all hyped out for it, more like I was worried for the stage movement for the whole event HAHA so much for a logistics manager! But it all pulled through somehow.

To me, the performance wasn't all that great. I guess we still have a long way to go to being that 'Gold with honours' orchestra that we all dream to be, with ALOT more erhu and percussion people that would fill up that big gap that we have.

On the other hand, I was happy that the erhu ensumble piece went fine cause during rehearsal it was WAY WAY bad HAHA! We were all like going off stage saying GG HAHA! I think the Lord was there when we called out to Him and he answered our prayers to place the concert in his hands.

Lan se de si nian on the other hand was... LOLing... Our whole section made mistakes like no one's business HAHA... But I guess no one really remembered who made what mistake since it was really too LONG of a song :P...

I really enjoyed Mambo though... It was mainly Shouting and shouting my heart out :D... And it felt great!

But the best part of the concert was... WHEN IT ENDED! Saw so many people I know came down to support various other people... And had a nice talk with them :)

On the whole, Spirito was a really tiring experience... But I had fun, spending time with the Fu-en and gang singing Chinese songs on the side and everything HAHA...

So here's my thanks... Starting with...

Irvin: I mean the president should always take the 1st place on any thanking list right? The guy has been workng his heart out for CO and though this concert is over... I bet SYF is all over his mind right now HAHA!! Anyway, he overlooks everything thats going on and sees that its done right :) It must be real hard on you esp the cookies HAHA... But it tasted great :)

Pei Yan: And what would Irvin do without your help? I guess there's really not much difference in the workload between President and Vice President... So you're techincally doing the same stuff as Irvin :D Thanks for all that :)

The Barker people in ACCO: I know I was really literally pulling my hair out when there were so many changes to the stage movement and all... But here's thanks to Jarron that he stopped teasing me and instead asked me not to worry so much about the whole thing. Which really helped by the way! Thanks to Ken who really ran back and forth the stage to help Xuan Han and all HAHA though most of the time it was because of Monster Hunter that he ran :P... Thanks Lukas, for the encouragement through out... I'm not pro yet, unlike most of you all, but I'm aiming to get there and I'm almost there :)...Thanks Mike, it was good talking to you once in awhile during like backstage and stuff HAHA it was really comic relief... And thanks to Mathieu for your concern when you saw me like really cannot take the whole thing already for stage movement that is... All the help you guys gave really helped me through the whole thing... THANKS

The Barker people previvously in AC(BR): Thanks for coming down!! I was really touched to see all of you... Coming down for not only this concert... But for All our ACCO concerts! And I really enjoyed the time we spent in Holland V, talking about old times and all :P... If I get the chance, I'll see you at WJCO! HAHA

The ppl who came down to support: Thanks once again to Andrea for the beautiful flowers... And Rae too! It never fails to brighten my day :D... Thanks for coming down and I hoped you all enjoyed yourselves 1SD1 + Becky+ Jotum :D

And Thank you

God for everything you have done for ACCO

In the Past, the present and for the future of this very organisation :D

I had a great day yesterday since I finally had some time to catch up with some of my friends I don't really talk too that much, though I do see them every CO practice.

So, it was a nice day out with Lukas, Mike and Irvin for some time for badminton :)... We were supposed to play at Crainhill CC, just to go there and find out that the badminton hall was under some construction... *sigh* But we did play some basketball for about an hour or so, until we decided to head off to Thomson CC to play, and I realised that my passing and catching of the ball was ok, but I can't score for nuts!! LOL maybe thats why I didn't really like Basketball :P... Of course, having two ACJS primary school people around, the group of 4 had to drop by ACJS for them to take some pics before the whole school is gone for good...

To cut a long story short, soon after we left the place and arrived at Thomson CC, which seems SO foreign to me. (I've only been to the Thomson Area twice in my life, not counting this time :D). I really enjoyed the 2 hrs of badminton, and learnt quite a bit about how to improve by none other than Lukas... Hopefully in the near future, he'll find me a challenge :P... But that will definitely take really some time!!

We went opposite then to have some nice lunch at Long House, and to discuss if we wanted to go out and do some stuff... After a real long discussion and Irvin's 'persuasive' reasons, we decided to head off to United square... Must say its a real nice place... And I really enjoed that period of time that I've spent with them...

We must definitely have more outings like this man!!

... "It may not be nice to be good... It may horrible to be good. And when I say to you I realize how self-contridictory that sounds. I know I shall have many sleepless nights about this,. What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness?Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him? Deep and hard quesions..."

Really interesting quote to think about....

What does God want?

I've got my answer....

Have you?

Yup, never good enough... Never was, never is...

Something that my life revovles around... Was never good enough in my studies, had to always appeal into the school I wanted to go into... Never reached the mark of any benchmark... Sports, music or even character...

Well, I guess not making the mark for being an ogl wasn't any different either... When I came out of the interview, something in my heart told me to accept it if I don't make it to become an ogl... Maybe I should have listened to it then, so I won't be so disappointed now that I've indeed failed to be one... Haha, as quoted for some barker boys, I'm really a joke...

I have great friends around me that make me feel as if I can really do and take up responsibility for certain things... Thanks guys... But sometimes I wonder if my strength really is enough... I mean of course without God, I won't be able to do all these things yet... If he didn't put all these people in my life, could I have really done all these things?

Could I? Most probably not at all...

I wonder what God really wants me to do? What is his plan for me?

I read once that when one gets too far away from his own dream, he can choose to give it up and help others realise their dream... I seem to be taking that path, and I really love it when others get to do what they what...

Cause at least, they can do what I can't...

Still, I'll put in as much effort as I can in whatever I do....

Well, though most of the time, its not really enough...

I wonder how some people really handle this...

Win some, Lose some? Ha, guess its something I really have to get used too...
