Pre World Youth Day 2016 Jitters

I am excited!! Nervous and also worried at the same time. Just a week more and I'll be flying off with a group of church friends to Poland!!

For what, you ask.

For World Youth Day 2016!!


This will be my second time attending a World Youth Day event. The first time I attended this event was in 2011 where we all headed to Madrid, Spain. This year, we are heading to Krakow, Poland and I am super anxious, thrilled, apprehensive all a jumble of emotions!

I'll be travelling with my 2 sisters as well who have decided to attend this event with me on a very impromptu basis. Impromptu as in they had never shown any interest in this event before but out of the blue, they made a choice to go on this pilgrimage with me. Hooray!

What makes this trip different from the one in 2011 is that I am going under the umbrella of my own church. Previously, we hitched a ride on another church's organization since no one from my church was doing the organizing at that time. I also have a more active role as part of the committee coordinating  the trip to Krakow on behalf our church's participants. Of course, being first timers doing this, there were a lot of issues that came up, finance being a major topic of discussion. It's really stressful I tell you... I hope we do a postmortem about our organizing after the whole committee returns from the trip. Fingers crossed that we don't grab at each other's throats during the trip. Hahaha. We're humans after all...

The theme song for 2016's World Youth Day is as below. The official one is in Polish (Duh!). However some kind souls have decided to translate it into English so that the rest of us can understand...Lol! Enjoy!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
