[[ my letter to choon ]] -27th january

hihi choon,

how're you? hope ya's fine. =) i'm still missing nila and you loads. =) missing the times we shared and even missing the bunk. -hahahah- shall spare you from all my craps. and i only had the time to email you now 'cause i was on mc till wednesday and my doctor and mum refused to let me do anything and go anywhere 'cause of my sunburn. -hurhur- and yes that's why i had the time to catch that u-channel programme and saw you on tv. =) and after that t'was 'cause of the homework that piled up within my absence from school for three days so i need to rush them like mad. =\

anyway, my sunburn. i got blisters in the end. -pouts- and the biggest one was like 2 cm in diameter at the beginning and it became 3 cm in the end. and if my doctor didn't burst it, it would have been bigger. =\

and thanks for everything in obs. i really am glad that i went for it and i actually get to know myself a tad better. or maybe it's a lot. but no matter what, the point is i get to know myself much much better yar? i didn't know i had that much determination and perseverance until during the journey back to obs site in the sea-x. neither did i know that i could tahan those physically-tiring activities 'cause i'm kinda sickness-prone and quite weak in the sense of my health and strength. and i've this terrible + horrible height phobia that when i went great walls of china during my math immersion programme i just couldn't get down from there and had to be dragged and carried down my two male teachers. =\ and everytime i would just scream my head off even if i'm on a overhead bridge. so i guess it was another big challenge for me in the tripod obstacle and the DDD and i actually finished it. =) although i'm still real scared of heights now. and it made me realised how miracles, i will call it, would happen if i set my mind in achieving anything, be it personal or as a team. and after the obs course, i'm actually getting more self-disciplined, less self-centred, and maybe okay, i'm still as short-tempered as ever, but i'm attempting hard not to be. =)

oh. and btw, the coconut. hahahahah. it's sitting on my chair in my classroom now. any ideas what we should do to it? =\ it's been more than one week. was joking that maybe we should tie it on top of mrs. pey's table and wait for it to drop on her. =\ hahah. and oh yes, remember about you asking us to keep a look-out for chio single teachers for you and recommend you? i will try my best okay. dun worry. -wink- okay. gotta go now. hope we can keep in touch? yea. hahahah. -bigfathugs-

with lurve,
Jac.

[[ choon's reply to my letter ]] - 20th february

Hiya Jac..

pardon for the late reply, been bz... in fact juz returned from a week long sailing trip to Indonesia. U will be shocked to see how dark i am now!

u know what, its so nice to hear from you that u are glad to have come to obs. For me personally, i consider a job well done when
people leave smiling. But u left with more, an increased self awareness. Now that is like a bonus to me, a motivation for me to do even better next time. Thanks.

in two weeks' time, i will be conducting a 21-days course for a group of police inspectors to be. wish me the best ok..

I wonder hows nila doing back in school. The footprints u gals left was strangely quite deep. Saying i miss u is an understatement. Help send my regards when u see them ok..

Lingering,
chOOn.

heaven by your side;
