me the bumblebee~


Hey all!! Am glad to be back to blogging after 17 long days!! In just 18 hours I'll be flying off, leaving Brunei for months :(

For some reason this trip is making me more home sick than ever! I really can't wait to be back in Singapore, but I guess I really just want to have more time, just a few more days with my family and friends here!

And I've done ALOT in just 17 days! I've did so much that I've lost 3KGs! Hahaha amazing isn't it~ losing weight even when I'm eating like a monster here in Brunei ;)

I am ^^ to see that you are still coming to my blog despite it being dead for a little while but it's up and running once again :) I've been more "alive" in a sense in Facebook :) hahaha in Joshua's own words "I've been very happening in Facebook" in regards to me uploading multitudes of pictures at one go~

Oh yes as usual:

WARNING : this post will be extremely long...even if it's going to be in point form (in just a few more lines) it'll still be a long post! So friends who either are faint-hearted / have the attention span of a....you fill in the blank yourself / are just too lazy to bother to read EVERYTHING....it's ok~ you're forgiven hahahaha

So yes~ I've been busy busy busy! Spending time with my family, meeting up with my friends, going places...in Brunei -_- hahaha helping out wherever I can in Church, eating...oh the eating, cooking, playing board games till daylight~ just ALOT of things! I am definitely going to miss my family and friends who are all here in Brunei at the moment, but at the same time I really can't wait to be back in SINGAPORE!!!

ALOT of exciting things are going to happen in Singapore! I can't wait to be back and to just be a part of EVERYTHING!!! Really miss CHC so much! Miss my cell group W372!!! Miss all of my CG members!! My CG Leader Darryl!! Just everyone!!! I even miss school! hahaha oh shutup~ I can be a nerd if I want to ok~

Two passengers were too late to board the plane, so they had checked in baggage so needed to remove them for security reasons -_- to top it all off...cause of the SLIGHT delay....Air Control Tower had to take 10-15mins just to change the route of the the plane I was on so it won't clash with another plane -_- this shows that even IF you like to shop there is always a time and place....if not cause mafan for everyone else only~
