The Number 34

Long Post Alert

I feel good today. :]

Let me explain slowly slowly why I feel so happy today. But first, I wanna start off with a BIG THANK YOU to God. Very very very grateful for all that He has done and blessed me with all these past 2 weeks. Even when it was tough and rough He has been faithful, all along by my side. Won't say too much more, but it was a dramatic Saturday night. Thank you Lord. :]

I digress alot when I blog. So I'm trying to keep up my pace... haha...
Okay, moving on...

I have finally finished all 25 of my prints! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ahahahahahaha. This is a really really big sigh of relief for me. It marks the NEARING ending of a very very tough few weeks, and how it went back to back to back with fuel camp to countless photography outing shots to long tiring nights of print processing. It's just owrht capering around and around and around.



Finally took a break off today and went to watch Number 23 with hoops. Hahaha it was an awesome movie. Very expected twist-sequence though, which was quite a disappointment. But nonetheless Jim Carry not being portrayed as some slap-stick, superficial comedic protagonist for once is very refreshing. He's a great actor la... After the movie hoops and I were looking for our own number to obsess over, and we both thought of 17. So 17 = 17 = 34. Our number was 34.

And hooper (being the smart-brains JC student), actually found quite a few 34s here and there. Like on buses and stuff. He did the equations, while I did my part of smiling and shaking my head. It was a good chilling time hanging out with a good friend instead of like one huge mob and you have to constantly be thinking of interesting things to say and stuff like that. You know what I mean? Like when you're the funnybone of the clique, there's always the expectations of you doing something whacky or say something random to entertain everyone else, and for once I could just forget about being that funny Helmut and be myself. Ahhh, awesome breather.



Some people really have very elaborately planned birthdays. And that's all I will say. Just being more important and having a bigger role automatically means you have a recognized birthday and everyone's flocking for a piece of the celebration. It's just the way of life. And I find this thought very interesting. I'm not jealous or envious or anything, I just find that sometimes people like the cleaner auntie or the quiet and shy girl in church or school or anywhere deserves a huge celebration cause their equally as important. Funny way things go ain't it? Haha..



Darkroom people ARE THE FAMILY. We are just the most crazy bunch of people in school.
I piggybacked Kelle in a piggyback race against Wanky and Amanda. I could carry Ferooze on my back for a bit i'mnotkidding.
And Ferooze led us as we capered and danced around our darkroom chemical basin like wild monkeys at the songs on the radio. It was practically like a club in there, cause everyone was on this temporal high.. hahahaha...
Jaslyn is Dinosaur Girl now... ahahahahaha... and we said Chee Yong - whose in love with contrasty photos - must really like her cause she's a living proof of contrast; black attire with white pale skin.
We hid from the security guards and shouted randomly at the camp committee members downstairs.
We goofed around with the coke machine hoping to make it cheat out an extra bottle of coke for us.
We ate cup noodles constantly, and listened to stories that Chee Yong told us about our seniors in design school.
The constant BOOs! We do to one another in the blackness of the darkroom, and the HUGE amounts of singing and screaming that Nart and I and a few others do.

That's why this Darkroom Processes module might cost a bomb, waste a whole lot of precious time, take alot out of our health, override my fitness-training times, make us crazy and deranged and walking zombies.....

but it's all worth it. Every single second of laughter and fun, is all worth it. Love them all. :]





Tomorrow we're having prayer walk in school with Ps Jenn. And I'm really looking forward to praying for our school in a tangible and physical way. I think my prayers for school have been rather generically non-persistent, and it's not what we want out of it... So I'm really going to press on in prayer too. By leaps and bounds and high jumps and aeroplane flights.... hahahaha so random....


Nat and I are going to watch Freedom Writers... whoooo... Or so I think hahaha, really looking forward to watching it.


I feel very very happy after sending my pants for alteration. I really have no idea why but it just makes me happy. And Faith is going Taiwan after this module (have a good time there yo 'bro' hahahaha) and I asked her if there were any nice white pointed shoes and red cardigans (not the grandpa sweater kinds) if she could get them for me, and she might! Whoooo.. oh and the clique wanna go shopping after the module. Hahahaha madness man I tell you. But yea of course it's great to hear la. Somehow I've became quite Aaron when it comes to the notion of shopping; it could be fun if you try to make it work for you. So yea, I'm well girlfriend-trained already. *big grin*


Annnnd I'm just glad God has given me a new people to have gotten to know better and stuff. I'm beginning to know alot more, and I've a bro in Christ that I recently got to know very very well. Amazing how Daddy puts people in our lives that can help change things. :]


Okay! Finally the long post is finished. And I mark off here with a goodnight. It's late and the diminishing orange clouds are revealing a darker shade of black opal... will post some more design works and photography stuff along the way.

Ciao
