Back from retreat
it wasn't like the last, which was revitalising n rather fun. sigh. didn't slp well at all. didn't feel secure in that place i guess.... coz there were so many lizards. there was 1 in hsuyu's toilet the v 1st day...... anyway, so i kept waking up in the middle of the nite, look ard to make sure that everything's fine... kept hearing lotsa sounds...
we only had 1 outdoor low elements activity on the 1st afternoon. others were all indoor. well.... i prefer the outdoors stuff... more fun. guess the director had other ideas. esp w dirty jokes. yucks! watever. (sidenote: he hugged me twice coz i was standing nxt to him during this game. fengge wasn't v happy abt that)
a fren (who was staying a room away from mine) stumbled upon a frog in her toilet the 3rd morn. but it disappeared after her screams... anyway, after lunch, she found it in one of the cupboard drawers, n they managed to chase it outta the room. hahaha! i asked her how come she didn't kiss the frog? coz it was like all so fated. the frog in her room of all others. she saw it 1st, b4 her roomie. she found it in the drawers.... could really be her prince. haha!
swam on both the 1st n 2nd evenings. the pool wasn't exactly v clean... but oh well, the whole resort izzant. enjoyed myself more the 1st time, coz the waterjets were on, so i sat myself beneath them - some sort of jacuzzi. =) then i spent more time w myself too... juz swimming away from my frens, floating in the pool, looking up at the blueblue sky, n occasional birds flying across, singing songs of praise n thanking God for the simple beauty of things we always tend to overlook.
think i enjoyed the ferry ride back the most. not coz of the fact i was returning - i always dislike returning to reality - but coz i was on the deck the entire ride. =) took pics with frens, sat at the front part of the ferry (gee, wat izzit called huh?)......... the strong wind in my face..... the sun on my skin (it wasn't scorching, so it was juz nice)....... the waves beneath me...... the occasional splash of water on our faces........ the salty sea air..... the very defined horizon in the distance...... wahz~
the retreat set me thinking... on a v fundamental question that surprisingly nv crossed my mind previously. Why am i in the move to the new campus committee, when i so totally don't wanna move???
sigh. actually, think i know the ans. n i'm not v proud of it.
