I would like to be in a cold, cold place right now.

It's just so HOT!

Every time the month of April rolls by every year, I think of the Songkran holidays I've had while studying at MC.  It never fails to bring back good memories!

Songkran 2004

Our dear Thai friend, Wanwisa Watcharakaweesin (Kip), invited the 6 of us to her kampung in Roi Et to celebrate Songkran.  I don't quite remember how many hours it took to reach her village, I only remember it was midnight (or past midnight) when we arrived.  

That was when, for the first time, I threw water at someone without worrying that that person will get angry at me for doing so.  That was when I had cold beer splashed right on my face. That was when I soaked myself in the Mekong river.  That was when I got my first sun burn in Thailand. 

 

Songkran 2005

This was when I had my first Songkran on campus.  Had water fights with friends - FUN!!

 

Songkran 2006

No water fights for me this time.

However, I was fortunate enough to be in the MCCC and MCSE because this was when we had our first MC Promotion Tour! Destination - Sarawak and Sabah.  Being a part of this group of people has taught me a lot of things.  The ten days of singing and traveling with this group of people also created a bond and a friendship so close among the members.  

I got to meet and get to know people.  I got to go to places I've never been before.  Lots of laughter.  Lots of fun.  I really did enjoy myself!

Songkran 2007

Another MC Promotion Tour, this time to Peninsula Malaysia and Singapore! 

I got to meet ex-classmates, ex-schoolmates, cousins, and friends in Penang.  In Ipoh, I got to meet the kid I babysat in college.  I got to meet my favourite cousin and spend the evening with her.  I got to step foot in Singapore again after 16 years.  

Post MC Songkran Holidays

Songkran 2008

A group from MC came to Sabah.  I had a good time hanging out with the group while they were here.  :D

Songkran 2009

I had a great time accompanying the group from MC to churches in Sandakan, Ulu Dusun, Telupid, Ranau and Tamparuli!  I'm so glad Pr. Konis requested me to accompany them because I had a really nice time with this group of people.  Lots of jokes, riddles, and laughter involved! 

I got to meet people who remembered me as a child.  I got to know a second cousin whom I never met before.  I got the chance to contribute my part in promoting MC.  :D

I wonder what Songkran 2010 has in store for me. :D

It has been a while...

since I last posted an entry. 

It's 12.38 a.m. 

I just came back from having, what I can consider, a good time, just talking, laughing and catching up on things and also reminiscing about the past.  We just sat in the car and talked and talked until past midnight without realizing it. 

There's just something about the campus that makes you do that when you are with someone you were close with in your high school days. It is even better if you still feel close to that person until now.  Not many people I know maintain a good friendship after being hurt, and it does make me feel good, although this reminiscing-about-the-past thingy sometimes make me wish that I could turn back time.  Back to the good old days.  

Sigh.

Hmm... my eyes are closing even as I type and methinks it's about time I hit the sack.  Have to be up in a few hours.

Shabbat shalom, people.
