last

and 2011 ends.

just to catch y'all up:

16-20 was my bbsg shift. it was pretty fun. made some new friends there. but most importantly learned how to manage people. more on that later (maybe). felt quite nice making friends with my boys, even though i'll probably never see them again. but i'm happy that i made bbsg enjoyable for them. usually people complain that they get yelled at by the primers and shit so i tried to be nice to them and it worked out pretty well :) when the other boys went to glasgow to slack my boys would stay behind to chat with me while cleaning the place up. it's pretty amazing what being nice to people can do to them. on one day there was a big guy who looked pissed and honestly pretty intimidating but by the afternoon i had him leading the entire team to tidy up the place and he said he didn't want to leave at 9 cuz there were still stuff coming in. many thanks to john maxwell.

went to hong kong with my extended family (mum's side) on 24-29th. met aaron goh there and did a bit of shopping with him. hk is a nice place; i wouldn't mind living there for a bit. finally somewhere i can speak cantonese without people looking at me weird. and yes, i can pass off as a local (yay!)

so anyway, the year's ending. it's been a great year. i'm pretty scared of next year, of growing up. sometimes i wish i were just a kid again. less problems. i can only hope that i'll survive IB 1213. i hope that i won't get affected by what may happen over the next two years. i don't know what God is doing and sometimes i just hate what's happening. nothing ever goes the way i want. there's always some catch. sometimes i'm just angry at god for everything that happens. i don't understand it. i just want to be a normal kid growing up in a normal family but everything is far from normal. i'm pretty lost now. hope i'll find God again soon.
