Ehh... Okay! Steph here, btw. (Say CHEESE. ((: )
Before I go any further, let me say that putting the password on the blog wasn't a VERY clever idea.. Sometimes, losers and people with absolutely NO life at all will come in, sign as as a Con4 class member and ERASE ALL POSTS/CHANGE PASSWORDS/DELETE THE BLOG. Gasp!
Wow. Well, anyhoo, I won't edit the post seeing as to how it's part of our rules not to do so. But, Adeline dear, if there's a better way to spread the word? (I'm thinking during class or something.. I don't know..) Maybe you could erase that part out? (SUGGESTION. (: )
Well! So this is my post in _____ months. The last time I posted, I think I was a little angry that a class parting ways in a few months after being together for 3 years could not even bond together.
I am SO glad, I can delete that post now! (Not that I will.. because it serves as a reminder of our 'red sea' days.)
I really look forward to church every single week. (And will continue to do so till Confirmation. Then I might just cry or something. I don't know. Haven't decided.) OKAY! Well, as I was saying, I really love the class the way it is now, with all the bonding and the outings and the stupidness and the GOSSIP. (Haha.. a great perk!)
In fact, Camp was SOO super dooper TERRIFIC (yeah sure.. stupid describing words.. I totally agree..) that I even found out I had two neighbours who went to the SAME confirmation class as me. -.-' Yeah, I know. Quite silly. It shows how BLIND i was to the other confirmants around me. (except my dear talkatives lah.)
So yes, I can definitely say, come 25th May 2008, I dread 2 things:
1) It's the last day we're all 'forced' to be together as a class.
2) Bleddy' O'level Chinese Paper the next day.
Let's live on the spirit of our unique group everyday in our lives, because sometimes, that's the only thing keeping us on our feet! (:

Oh, and I'm gonna edit the blog a little.. so less questions are raised.

You've been whacko-ed by,
Stephanie Michelle.

hello hello everyone!
TIARA here!
this is like my very first time posting on the class blog (and only 'cause adeline openly put up the log in info, hahah)
anyway, i just want to say (again) how much i loved con camp this year because for the first time in 4 years, i actually felt CLOSE to the class. i mean, all this while its only been with the clique, y'know? steph, joan, nat, belle, anne, sam chan, mich. and. and. and. okay thats all i remember for now.
so yes, all those times playing whacko and OUCH are sorely missed by yours truly.
and what's cool, is that after the camp, cliques are redefined! ..somewhat.
like during holy week, from maundy thursday till easter sunday, we've been going for mass with people we wouldnt normally go with, if it wasnt for the ultimate bonding session in early march.
so well done to those who organised it, cos it was a blast(:
love, me.

let it be
Have you ever felt happy, sad, impatient, irritated, jittery, pissed, overly excited, annoyed all once at the same time?
well i never thought i was able to feel like that. until recently. to put it simply, it feels absolutely horrible. i thought i was going mad. i even thought maybe i could be possessed. like just so many thoughts racing in my mind, and being unable to focus in just one single thought... just lots and lots and lots of background noise, except that it isn't just background noise. all of these noises are equally loud. kinda like when you wanna tune a radio to a specific station, but in between you get all these white noises, and they leave you unable to focus on anything in the reality. you could be staring at a pen on a table, but all you can perceive is nothing. just lots and lots of undistinguishable commotion in your head, and you dont register that the pen is there on the table at all.
it's new to me, this feeling. and rather scary too. i tried to brush it off the first time it happened.. which was during easter vigil. but it didnt go away. today it happened again. and i couldnt take it anymore. and i prayed for god to help me and take it away.
and immediately the 'ave maria' tune came into my mind, and everything just settled into place. and then there was silence. and peace, and i felt really calm.
reminds me of the beatles song, let it be.
"when i find myself in times of trouble, mother mary comes to me.. speaking words of wisdom.. let it be.."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67J_66hdN-I&eurl=http://lyrics.com/lyric.php?id=5685
"When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it be. Let it be, let it be, ..... And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me, shine until tomorrow, let it be. I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, ..... "

when saint peter asks...
sunday peeps, remember last week francis asked if you guys knew the answers to the 10 questions.. and one of them was,
"what are the 4 entrance questions to heaven?"
what was your first reaction to this question?
"huh. go to heaven also must have exam one ah"
"shit. what ah"
"huh."
well... the 4 questions are:
1) "when i was hungry, did you give me food?"
2) "when i was thirsty, did you give me something to drink?"
3) "when i was naked, did you clothe me?"
4) "when i was in prison, did you visit me?"
[matthew 25:35...]
and please dont take it literally.
1) hungry.. for what? think! hungry for bread.. the bread of.. LIFE! hungry for god!
2) thirsty for....make a quick guess. thirsty for god's mercy. (hmm and what does this mean?)
3) naked... (huh?) think. when isit that you feel naked, bare, vulnerable..when you ask for forgiveness for your sins? so clothing someone 'naked' means, did you forgive the person?
4) prison.. refers to fear.. when someone was afraid (of what? who?), did you comfort him/her and "armed" him/her? and WHAT, is the best way to counter FEAR?
what is fear? fear of what? is fear necessarily good/bad? Mr John-the-disciple said something about fear. go check up his love letters, in John 1 (not the gospel!) chapter 4, verse 18. what did he say? does he make sense? how does it apply to you and your life?
stay tuned for more good stuff to come! and please, do share!
as i said earlier, last sprint. so run. run run run, as fast as you can. maybe you'll catch up with the gingerbread man. or maybe, you'll realise that you arent ready to run a marathon yet.
as chris martin of coldplay said,".... nobody said it was easy...."
can you say a resounding "yes!" to all the above 4 questions?

Heathen Chemistry
I must say after 3 years of being in the same class, I'm glad we finally bonded.
& I must say I had a lot of fun today.

1. Please include your name, because as much as we like to pretend we are psychic, we are not.
2. Please do not erase anything from the former posts especially those not written by you. This is rude, people.
3. Please write with seemingly objective views. I say seemingly because sometimes, subtlty works too. (:
