anyway, i'm really looking forward to the church camp in the scottish highlands(during my time there) and also spending some time with dear - having some real conversations! not that i haven't been speaking to him much or anything. on the contrary, we speak to each other twice a week over the phone. what i really mean is, i find it difficult to relate (on a deeper level) to most of the other TAP trainees here. don't get me wrong, they are fantastic people, we connect well on superficial, on-the-surface kind of conversations and get along great. however, i don't think i would find myself in a heart-to-heart talk with any of them (maybe i should add the word, "yet").
i think the problem lies with me... i find that it takes too much effort to get a great friendship going and even MORE effort to maintain it. i'd rather not put in all that time. besides, i'm happy with my life and the family and friends that i have now. i currently don't see the need for any more friends in my life. and just to clarify things, when i say "friend" here, i really mean someone who is in my inner circle, a confidante. (or maybe, the spark just isn't there with any of them (yet).) and once again i say, i love the other TAPpies!
i miss my family, my prof, my friends (u know who u are) and all the great conversations we had - about random things in our lives, digging deep into philosophical stuff and what not and crapping about the stupidest things ever.
Right, enough of all that soppy stuff.
couple of things that happened the past week:
1) Met up with prof's wife, tessa in london! had a great time shopping, walking about and talking. thanks for the time!! she'll be going to aust soon to join prof.
2)Went to Hillsong LONDON church (from Hillsong Australia). it was alright - i would say that it is a not-so-effective FCBC (Faith Community Baptist Church, Singapore). preaching was ok (the wesley and fcbc pastors are much better), no problems with the doctrine (at least from what i heard that service). i know i shouldn't be comparing speakers, afterall they are all preaching the Word. i can't help it, i prefer to hear clear, to-the-point impactful messages. speakers who lack organisation, focus, give far-fetched examples and joke too much (bad jokes at that) just aren't as effective.
3) Got my bicycle front wheel fixed!! it was punctured and i wasn't able to ride my bike for about a week. thanks to my wonderful colleague tony, my bike's road worthy again.
4) Had a house-warming cum bday celebration @Bader Gardens (4girls live here). Baked peanut butter chocolate swirl cookies and a bday cheesecake. it was a nice get together with loads to eat.
will be working 12hours tom and sat. hope i won't be assigned to buffer prep again. spent 2 out of 3 days this week there already. i wanna go back into facility! buffer prep isn't a bad thing, it's just a preference issue. =P
