Who needs it most:

You’re never alone, I’m always near
When your troubled, down or blue
All you have to do is call me
I’m always here for you

It doesn’t matter where I’m at
It doesn’t matter when
When you need someone to talk to
I’m here to be your friend

If you need someone to hold your hand
Or a hug to say I care
If you need a shoulder to cry on
For you I will be there

So never think you are a burden
When the weight gets too much
You might find if you look hard enough
A good friend could be the right touch

You’re never alone, I’m always here
Through the good times and the bad
I’m always here to be your friend
I don’t like to see you sad

Smile, you’ve got more than one friend you know =)

I finally bought a rubik’s cube on wednesday, so that I can learn something new in my free time. Now I’m able to complete it on average about 5 minutes. I set my record of 2:45 on Thursday.

On Saturday, I went early to SIR building to renew my passport but they told me have to make biometric one because mine has exceeded 10 years already, so I did the application and took the photograph there.

After that I went to change the dehumidifiers and collect letters from my house (the one rented out). Unfortunately when I was leaving I accidentally locked my bunch of keys in the storage room, so I had to go to my grandmother’s house to get my aunt’s house spare keys, then go home (aunt’s place) get my house spare keys, then go back and reopen the storage room. I then collected the letters and went home, returning the spare keys to my grandmother on the way.

By then it was about 2pm. I started to scan the letters into the computer to send to my parents. There were a lot of letters, so I skipped the unimportant ones like newsletters and event invitations. I also received a wedding invitation from Aaron (Tung Ling guy) for 1st May. I’m still thinking whether to attend it.

I left home again about 3:45pm to go early to church service because I was on duty. There was a missionary who wanted to give a powerpoint presentation on the missions. The powerpoint crashed about halfway during the presentation as the powerpoint file was too large (it had a video playing and background music and lots of pictures), so when the computer ran out of memory it naturally crashed.

I registered and paid ($210) for the church camp after the service. I will be triple-sharing with Azaac and Belvin. Dinner was also provided as it was on the last Sat of the month. I gave Azaac his birthday present – a Rubik’s cube! I like the way he smiled when I gave it to him =)

An update on the shifting: Everything (ok, almost) has been shifted over, and renovations are supposed to have been completed, but apparently the contractor didn’t submit any plans to HDB for approval, so when the inspector came to check on the renovations, it wasn’t approved and so the renovations have been extended to make adjustments. The whole place is messy and dusty.

I have just finished shifting house 2 weekends ago, but there are still some construction work going on. My aunty just bought a new 36″ LCD TV and new set of sofa for the living room. I have posted pictures of the layout of the house in my facebook, taken while the construction work was still going on.

I’m looking forward to this year’s church camp from 8-12 June as I missed the last two ones due to school. My family will be returning on the 8th early morning before I leave for the camp.

The last few weeks was quite relaxed in camp, nothing much to do except sit in the office and do whatever I want as there were no trainings.
