I was helping out with the games for the youth camp in church for the past 2 days, since they needed some manpower. I was perfectly fine on the first day, but I didn’t feel too good yesterday. By the time I came home I was seriously unwell, and I couldn’t stop sneezing. (It really sucks that I have such a sensitive nose.) Went to bed after having my dinner and showering, and even though I felt really tired, it took me quite a while until I managed to fall asleep. I think I slept around 12 hours last night… I’m much better today, but not perfectly well yet. Guess I need another day to fully recover.

I’ve been worrying about something since yesterday morning, and I wonder if it has anything to do with me getting sick. When I say that I’m worried about someone or something… it’s seriously the case. I’m the type of person that gets worried easily, and when my friends are in a bad mood, I can’t help but worry for them. I can’t be really happy when I see that my friends are not.

I feel like sleeping again…

As I promised… a post about my trip!

This is the first time I’ve been overseas with a tour group that only consists of the church people, which makes it more enjoyable because you know everyone! It’s also better in the sense that you can change the itinerary if the group wants to go to a particular place instead of the original one provided by the tour agency. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to go with a group like this again, so that makes this trip even more special.

原来最疼痛的表情竟是没有情绪
原来最残忍的画面可以甜言蜜语
我不懂得如何更爱你
影子讽刺地 跟着我难分难离
原来最孤单的是我还是那么想你
原来最悲哀的是我不能面对自己
你 收的干净
我也会 不留一点痕迹
(林俊杰 – 原来)

I feel like I’ve been living in a dream for so long… a dream that I wish will never end. But it’s time to wake up. The dream should have ended long ago. No point in wishing for things you know you can’t have, right?

Been feeling lethargic since getting back from my holiday. I just want to stone and do nothing at all, but I guess some quiet moments will do me some good. Sometimes you just want to be alone and have some quiet time, and moments like these are something that should be treasured. It’s like a retreat of sorts, from the busy schedule that I have during the semester. I don’t think I’ll ever be so free again once I graduate and start work!

I’m usually quieter than normal when I’m tired, upset or just feeling under the weather, but just let me stay this way for a while and I’ll be fine eventually. Don’t make me talk if you can sense that I just want to stay quiet. There’s nothing wrong with keeping quiet even if you’re with someone else – you can just enjoy each other’s presence.

休息是为了走更长远的路。

I love going overseas because it’s a time where you can leave everything behind, go somewhere else and see how other parts of the world is like. You can learn about other cultures, see how other people live, and appreciate the beautiful world that God has created for us. It allows you to take a break from work and other commitments and refresh yourself, and sometimes, it also makes you better appreciate the things you have and realise how blessed you are to be able to live in such a good environment.

But alas, holidays don’t last forever, and there always comes a time when you have to return home, and resume your normal life. That’s when you start looking forward to the next time when you can travel again.

I still need to sort out the pictures and figure out where they were taken, so wait for the next post where I’ll write about the trip!
