So, I've decided to finally blog again. It's only recently that I realised that my last post was way before Serve begins, and now Serve has ended. That just proves how busy I've been these last few months. But well, Serve has ended, I'm free now, and I don't feel like applying for any universities or scholarships yet (and I know I'll regret it as the deadline draws near), so I'm going to blog again. And for the sake of many who complain my post is too long, I shall split it into 2 important parts alright - Serve and Golden Village work.

And much as I want to begin with Golden Village, I shall start with Serve. Well, so the 2 months of bonding between ServerYucks/YucksKnights has ended, and I would just like to thank Esther, Stephanie, Phoebe, Shaylen, Ryan, Markus, Judah, Joel, Joshua, Mark, Brandon, Ming Kiat, Benedict, Isaac, Brian, and definitely Nicholas for the wonderful time we had during this Serve, especially during the mission trip. The trip to Thailand was not like any other trip that I've been before, and it certainly turned out way better than I've envisioned it to be. Somehow, over there, I just felt the spiritual renewal within me, though we were supposed to help evangelise there, it seems like we have taken back more than what we could have given them. So, the hospitable Thais treated us really well, and till now, there's still this tingling sensation that I wish I am still in Thailand with them. Till this point, I think words can't really express the awe that I've felt while I was there so I shall just stop right here, and hopefully say God bless to the people in Thailand, that those who know Christ would continue being blessed by Him and that those innocent ones who don't would hopefully come to know Him. God bless (:

So with that, I shall move on to life at Golden Village. Well, it has been a long time since I've posted about Golden Village, but well, it is still as great as ever. Somehow what Xinyan had written on her blog about work being addictive is true, and I was just discussing with Huixiang a few weeks back how weird that is. Well, to be honest, the pay there isn't exactly good, or even normal, and the workload isn't very little or whatsoever, but somehow the friendships bridged there made the life there much more interesting than ever. Though I always appear not to care, and asked everyone to shut up or go away, I just have to say that I sincerely treasure the relationships there - be it close or not. Recently, I have this feeling that I love Golden Village so much that I'm appearing too much on the compound and everyone's like commenting "this is your house ah" or "why do you all always come here?!", and these comments come so much that I don't really feel like I'm going to go there as often anymore. But we shall see about that. Anyway, lots of interpersonal things had happened since I arrived, especially during the week when I left for Thailand, but I'm glad that most of the things have been or would be resolved soon. It is only recently that I realised how attached I've grown to them (though I really didn't want that to happen because I hate the feeling of needing to part) and how I would be upset as they leave one by one. Whatever it is, I would like to thank the special triplets - Huixiang and Xiaoting - as well as our Laojie Ryan for being part of my life in Golden Village and how everything has just simply brightened up because of you three. (: To be honest, I think I've never bared my heart out so simply and so directly in front of others before, so you guys are the first and possibly the last (: And here's a special note to you THREE that I would still like to trust you guys and tell you all all my deepest darkest secrets, so be there for me okay! :D

And that was supposingly the end, but I just decided to add this one-liner before I end this post: Relationships are still as complicating as ever, if you get my drift haha. Till next time then. Sigh. Lol.
