~~~~~cLaSs BbQ!!~~~~~

It's been quite a while now since I last blogged... Well, I've been busy with school and stuffs... Anyway, being in Nanyang Polytechnic is a whole different environment to study... For 14 years of wearing school uniform, it felt weird wearing my home clothes to school but I guess I'm getting used to it... I'm glad that I went to ITE first as what I'm learning now, Engineering Informatics, is about the same as my Multimedia Technology course that I graduated from... Don't be fooled by the word, Engineering... It's not an Engineering course but it's an IT course... What we learn is the combination of Engineering and IT so it's like 2 in 1... So anyway, I'm one of the senior ones in my class as the rest of them are turning 18 this year and 3 of them are turning 17 this year... There are only like 6 or 7 of us, who are more senior than them...

I love my timetable as Friday I have no classes so, today they planned on having a barbeque at East Coast Park... It's been a very long time since I've been to East Coast Park and I mean it, a VERY LONG time... By the way, there's another Jonathan in my class but we have different surnames... So sometimes when somebody calls Jonathan, we'll both respond... Anyway, I went to meet up with Jonathan at Tampines MRT and then we waited for Aaron to fetch us as we were going with him to buy all the food and help to carry all the stuffs... Thank you Aaron's Dad and Mum for giving us the lift... We reached East Coast Park around 7pm and we decided to set up at 7:30pm... Let me summarise the entire barbeque... We had a great time chit-chatting and just bonding with each other... Most of them stayed overnight to cycle but some didn't, including me... So we left the place around 10pm and here I am now... I really enjoyed myself and I hope you guys and gals share the same joy as me... :)

Well, I guess most of you should know, this date and time isn't the exact time I blogged this but I feel that it's easier for you readers, and me, to read about the day itself... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~Going Back~~~~~

Since today I was totally free, no plans with anyone, I decided to go back to Great Eastern to have lunch with them... I met up with Xiu Fen first and we waited for the rest of them to come down for lunch...

When they came down, guess what, they decided to pack their food and bring it up to the pantry to eat... Well, at least their buying their food from Banquet... So I decided to buy my favourite western fried rice... By the way, it was raining very heavily... I really missed eating with all of you...

We decided to leave when the rain stopped... Since it was still early, we decided to go to Parkway Parade... It's been 2 years since I went there, if I'm not wrong... Anyway, we went there to take a walk around and trust me, xf isn't a good tour guide... HaHaHa... Don't kill me... Later on, we went to an unknown building to me... I wanted to go there as there was a pool parlour there... It was quite cheap... $5.50 per hour... I only played for half an hour and she just sat there and watch... She said she was too "noob" to play but thanks for sitting there, accompanying me... Thank You... After that, we made our way home... I took bus 15 back to Tampines while she walked back home...

Well, after a long day outside, it's time for me to chill on my PS2... That's about it... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~The Meet-Up!!~~~~~

What a day it was today... Cooling and a very nice weather to be sleeping in... But for me, that wasn't my plan at all...

In the afternoon, I had a lunch appointment with Lester and Jeremy... I decided to slack at the arcade, at EastPoint, while waiting for Jeremy to arrive and only then, we could call Lester out for lunch as he was working... We ate our favourite fast food, KFC!! It's finger-licking good... Anyway, after that, we walked around for a while and then Lester had to go back to work... Since it was still raining, Jeremy and I went to play pool there... Lester joined us for a few minutes then went back to work again... The rain had finally stopped and it was time for us to go back home... We went to bid farewell to Lester and we then made our way back to Tampines... By the way, the waffles near the MRT station are great and delicious and I recommend to all that it's worth trying...

Well, after a day of eating so much, I guess I need to exercise before hitting the sack for tonight... It's time to exercise... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~jAmMiNg!!~~~~~

It's been a long time since we last jammed... I met up with my jamming mates at Raffles Place and we then made our way there... We jammed on the songs from Nirvana, Bullet For My Valentine, Yellowcard, Stone Sour and Greenday... We actually wanted to jam more than those songs but, we were late and by the time we set up everything, we only had about 1 hour plus to jam... Anyway, the outcome of it wasn't that great... I guess it's because we were out of practice and all... But still, it was fun and all as we enjoyed ourselves...

Later after that, George went back home while the rest of us went back to Tampines to have our dinner... We went to the arcade after dinner and we made our way home after that...

Well, I really enjoyed myself jamming with you all once again... Hope that we'll meet up again to jam one day... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~TGIGF!!~~~~~

THANK GOD IS GOOD FRIDAY!! This is the day that Jesus died for all of our sins and on the third day, He'll rise again... Praise be to God...

After this morning's sermon, I went with my family for lunch at the coffee shop near our church as I had to go back to church for an event... I was one of the station masters, in one of the games they planned, and I was stationed at Pasir Ris beach... It's been a very long time, too long, that I last seen the beauty of the sea... The feeling I felt being there was just amazing and thank God for the wonderful weather He blessed us with for the entire event... Well, it was my first time being a station master and I was glad that my partner was Ber as he's more senior and experienced... At the end of the day, all of us enjoyed ourselves, station masters and participants...

When we returned, we rested a while and it was dinner time... Some of the guys and I volunteered to serve the food to the rest... What a scrumptious dinner... I didn't stay back for the worship service after dinner as, I had to rush back home...

WOW!! It was such a wonderful day today... I really had the time of my life... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

Thank God Is Good Friday

~~~~~Movie Time!!~~~~~

I was bored staying at home today so; I decided to have my lunch outside... I went to East Point as I thought that I could meet up with Lester for lunch but, it was already 2pm when I went there... So I decided to eat at Long John Silvers and gave him a call to check whether he was free to meet me and guess what, he was eating lunch with his colleagues... My timing just couldn't be more accurate...

After that, Jeremy asked me to check the timings for the movie, "Freedom Writers"... Lester, Jeremy and I planned to watch that for tonight but the timing wasn't on our side... The both of them could only make it at around 7pm and the final screening for the day was at 7:10pm... My guess was that both of them couldn't make it in time even if they rushed now so, we decided to watch Mr Bean's Holiday as there was a screening at 7:45pm and that was just nice for all of us...

Anyway, since I was there and had nothing else to do, I decided to watch "Freedom Writers" alone again... It was a very touching movie as it was about this teacher, Ms Erin Gruwell, who went beyond her job as a teacher to give her students a hope and their say in life... Can you imagine a teacher who took up another two extra, part-time, jobs just to pay for books for her students to read about and excursions?? In the beginning, they were the worst class of them all but at the end of it, they were completely transformed... In conclusion, this was a movie that involves all of us, especially in this stage of life as we struggling through everyday...

A few minutes after I came out of the theater, Jeremy called me saying that he was on his way... Later on, Lester called me saying that he was on the train... So I waited for them before I bought tickets for Mr Bean's Holiday... Finally they came and it was 7:40pm... Just in the nick of time... Well, in conclusion to Mr Bean's Holiday, it's hilarious and all but I guess there were only some parts of the scenes that I actually liked... One of the scenes were, when it was going to end, Bean manages to make his video diary of the trip (in which Sabine is frequently seen) appear on the film screen... If I have to choose between the two movies, I'll choose "Freedom Writers"...

Well, that's about what went on my entire day... It's getting late and I'm getting tired... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~The Park!!~~~~~

Actually for today, I planned to go to the gym but in the end I didn't... Anyway, I woke up at 2pm... Since I'm not working anymore; I've been waking up in the afternoon and thus, not having my breakfast... So, I decided to order McDonald's for lunch... After lunch, I was too full to even think about going to the gym... I decided to wait a few hours for it to digest fully and to see whether I still had time to go... My guess was right, I had no time to go to the gym as it was already 6pm and I had to go to my Grandparents' place for dinner at 7pm... There was no time for gym so, I went to my Grandparents' place instead and decided to go for a run at Sunplaza Park... I realised my stamina has dropped tremendously...

Well, after a tired run today; I guess I'll hit the sack early for tonight... I guess I need to start building up my stamina instead of sleeping in... But for now... This JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~April Fools!!~~~~~

To the kids, today must have been their best day as they could play pranks on others... To us, it's kind of childish and lame... Anyway, I went for YMPACT service this morning... After that, the small group members and I went for lunch, before we made our way for our last study on the book of Romans...

After the study session, I called Randy up to check whether he was already awake as we were going to play pool... He told me he was eating his lunch so; I went to Downtown East NTUC Resort first... I figured that if I went to play in the arcade again, like last time, it'll take quite a while as it's hard for me to stop playing... So I decided to book a pool table first and played by myself first... Randy came when I cleared the table... We played pool for 4 hours, making us the longest people who stayed there... We could have played longer but our stomachs were growling... So the end score was 11 - 4... By now, all of you should know who score is who's... We ate KFC for dinner and went back home after that...

Well, after such a great day of fun, it's time for me to relax and start playing my God of War 2... Finishing soon, I think... But for now... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...
