Hey! Back up again...

it's been like almost 6 months since i've been blogging... been collecting dust... 6 months seems like such a short time ago, but a lot has changed since then... oh well, NS is NS... And looking back, I haven't got much to say...

Today, I'll write about my recent clubbing experience. I don't club frequently, and I've only done so three times so far. First time was in BMT, that was ok but it ended at 3, and I spent most of the time exploring the place so I left feeling a little unaccomplished... The 2nd was the worst cos it was my friend's birthday but he spent the whole time trying to get those MIA pple to come down, so I was stuck with pple who I didn't really know. Finally he got drunk and pissed and got taken home, and I went home shortly after that...

But this time, it was really fun, first of all cos I encountered no smokers!!! Haha! It was mambo night and I really am a retro kind of person so all the songs were fun to sing along with... The pple standing on the platforms and dancing were, quite plainly, really really tacky and I wouldn't want to be seen doing that. But let's face it, without them, the party would be dead... After all, they made you feel ok about looking weird dancing... So yeah I would say that the most fun part was going down with all my friends, dancing like hell, and not giving a damn what others think... It's about letting go and really making an ass out of yourself... :D Then there's always the girl factor. It adds that extra thing that makes the whole night much more exciting... But to be honest, I always end up feeling guilty about it. Call me old fashioned, but a club is not a place I'd like to hook up. But it really wouldn't be complete without the girl factor.

Oh the past six months have been ok really... NS has its excitements here and there, but my biggest achievements were outside NS... August to October was a really busy period for me in terms of tutoring the EM3 kid... When his PSLE was over, it was a real relief for me... After that was the OM course in my own camp, and at the same time, now I'm busy with planning the Legion of Mary church camp... So all these things really help you achieve something and helps time pass by much much more quickly... Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how I'd cope. Plus, all these extra spontaneous events like clubbing and such add that extra bit of excitement to my life, so it's fun.

Speaking of extra events, a memorable one was All Saints' Day recently... I went to mass at St Francis of Assissi church on one of my nights' out... It was great. For some reaon, going to that church, by myself, so far away from home and family, really makes feel a sense of peace and a sense of God. I always love and look forward to going there. Which is wierd cos I go to church every sunday... Maybe it's the feeling of a gesture to be with God in the midst of the 'wilderness', that is, a place that is, to me, far from home and comfort.
