I'll Be Going...

Away, to a far away place, so far even driving there sounds crazy, insane, siao! The horror!

No, not the North Pole.

I'm going to Taiping, Perak. Attending Glo School for the whole month of January. It's like a Bible school where you, err, learn more about the Bible and God? It'll be my first month in my 17-year life spent without my family nearby. Oh gosh, it feels like I'm in Survivor or something.

Oh-yee-yeh-yeh-oh-yee-yeh-yoh!

I'm not mourning, it's the Survivor theme song. By the way, the school doesn't have those tribal-free-you-from-agony voting.

Well, initially I wanted to join Glo because my two sisters had already joined the school before. They spoke about how the lessons were good, enjoyable (I think) and fun the people they met there were. So I, in my rotting year, decided to join it also. I really do want to learn more about God and also to find another 17-plus-year-old guy who is going through the same things I'm facing, a guy whom I can relate to spiritually and a guy who is firm and makes me realise the wrong things I'm doing and prompt me to change them.

It's not like I can't relate to my dad or any young adults in Youth or anything. It's just that they have probably been through what I am starting and it can be a wee-bit lonely sometimes. Gosh, I talk like I'm just entering puberty and got menstrual issues. To make it simple, take a look at Shuen, Sin Yee, Melissa and also Hwei, Sin Lan, Chen Li, Juliana. I too hope I can have that friend as well. Shaun and someone else. Hopefully the dude's name also Shaun, great name and what a pair we would be. SS! or maybe S-squared!

So yeah, going to Glo tomorrow. It's a rather sad thing that I'll see Marcus, Jeremy, and Livia for the last time tomorrow if the bus leaves for Taiping after church service. Jeremy and Livia will be going back to New Zealand on 1st February while Marcus will be on 3rd. I'll be away from Malacca for a month. It was fun to have them here again. Marcus being crazier, Jeremy has left his trademark 'Bapak lu!' and gone for a new accent where 'yes' sounds like 'yeast' and 'what' like 'whot' while Livia is talking more often than when she left which is really good!

So that's it. Keeping my fingers crossed at what is ahead. Hopefully I'll be able to find my way there.
