Its cliche to do these, but I guess its always important to take stock of the year.
2006, two terms of schooling.
I think the year had really dragged on. As in, it really has seemed much longer than a year to me. Too many events have unfolded within this space. For some reason, just wanting to think about what has happened over the year makes me feel overwhelmed.
Let me see...
1) New Years Party
Yup, had alot of the CSS people come over that day, from all the different faculties. Yes there was drinking and yes, people were stoned in the end haha. Damn funny, I have so many *ahem* incriminating stories of people. Oddly enough, the next day, I ended up sitting next to Moses at Mass, AND I THOUGHT HE WAS YEAR 3, so ya, bro u look damn old la. (kidding kidding)
2) Knowing my fellow year 1s better.
Odd huh, the first half of the year I actually knew the year 3's and 2's better than the year 1's (the now year 2's actually) I think it was the timetable clashes la..being (at that point of time) the only CNM major and also because I didn't attend the FOC camp made the distance greater, so this year I would say yeah I really got to know my fellow year-mates alot better.
With that I must add that without alot of you guys, this year would have been unbearable. I think each and everyone out there has made a huge impact on me this year a big thank you. And I mean thank you for both the ups and downs, the troubles and the fun, the inspiration and the boredom. I loved it all.
3) CAW
Exhibition comm, I must say that I enjoyed the designing a lot. Befriending was interesting too, had to really pluck up the courage to approach people. And yes Im very shy.
4) Lent-Easter
That was crazy, limiting my gaming to 1 hour a day at the very most. I can't believe that I didnt play on some days even. One of the toughest lents i've had. Easter was something else though, we baked hot cross buns. To the group of you that came to my place to bake: IT WAS SUPER FUN but insanely tiring.
5) FOC
Who can forget this. The miracles, the fun, the laughter, FOC was amazing. A big thank you to my games comm, you guys are like the totally most like, radical group, like everrrrr. (excuse the language, thats how we communicate due to our lack of brain cells). I think FOC brought alot of us closer too. Despite how tiring it was, I enjoyed it.
6) Stepping up as CGL
Another milestone, I felt a call for it, never looked back since. A big thank you to Geraldine too for all the support. And of course my CG people too, for sharing all your experiences, support and everything!
7) Stepping up for Candle
Wow, I knew this was coming. Was a little hectic at first, but I'm really happy the way it turned out, stay tuned for the next issue!
8) The many retreats, DORs and what not.
I think the most significant retreat this year was the arts retreat. Not that the rest were bad, but there was some true deep sharing over there. At the same time, it was crazy for me too, perhaps to this day Im still afffected by the events at retreat. But yeah, it was really one to remember.
The Day of Recollection was fun, but the attendace a bit small =( but then again, it was lovely having everyone around. I like gatherings :P
CSS retreat perhaps set an important direction for me. At the same time, it probably closed an issue that had bugged me for a while. Well we still think back once in a while, but I guess its imporant not to let the pasthold us back.
9) Tioman
Ok this ones not in order, but I remembered that I forgot to mention it. Was a memorable trip despite the small number of people, and it taught me a very important lesson in life too. (Which will of course, forever remain secret to everyone out there)
10) Novena
Yeah thats right Novena - I had never gone to one before till this year, and boy am I glad. Its quite an experience I guess.
11) Greater trust in God
Something that money can't buy. I think God has never been more real this semester. A million blessings indeed. Just to share with you one, the visual comm module which I wanted to bid for was sorta like a mini-miracle. I missed the minimum bid by one point, at first it was below, then Joanne told me to up the bid, and boy am I glad I did.
