I'm in the XS room right now... Waiting for either my parents or my brother to come pick me up. We're going to celebrate my brother's birthday at some chinese restaurant in commonwealth. I'm not a big fan of chinese food, but its not my birthday. Don't think it was dale's idea to eat there either.

This week in camp has been a unsettling one. I hate the feeling of uncertainty but there's nothing that we can do about it. Just have to use whatever time i have to relax. But there's always a threat that there might be last minute instructions for us to do something. So anyway, friday was the epitome of my whole week. We had to book out to go to the Padang at City Hall to help out. I ended up walking up and down the stretch of the padang to the 4 phone booths in between Raffles City Shopping Centre and Marina Square Shopping Centre. My feet hurt at the end of that day...

Which brings me to my next point. I'm tired & I need a break... A retreat to think things through. I miss the days where I could just run off to the airport or to plaza singapura, find a nice corner to sit, eat, listen to music, read, pray and write. The problem with being responsible is that you have to be responsible even though going away to recharge would allow you to do a better job. You can't just stop.

I have been pleasantly surprised by Joel last week. Its things like this that make it worth carrying on. Jean Francois also surprised me by messaging me to be his mentor. I need time to settle down first before I decide to. Its no good mentoring if my own life is in a mess.

::: Thought of the Day :::
Sometimes you have to do things even if you don't like it.
But sometimes you have to question the purpose and not do things blindly.
Ask smart questions and you'll be safe.
