Day 71 of OBO... 1st Mission Briefing...

"Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. Little children want to play." Well that was what this morning was like... It started raining at around 0500hrs when we hung up... There was thunder and lightning... Well I couldn't sleep after we hung up... I don't know why... Sigh... Anyway, after tossing and turning, I somehow managed to fall asleep...

I woke up at around 0930hrs... Went to wash up and then got dressed to go to Far East Shopping Centre to cut my hair... Well I've got a fringe now and my hair is at least 5inches shorter than before... And I've got highlights... I'm still getting used to my new look... Well after that I left to get to Novena Church for my first mission briefing...

Reached Novena at around 1430hrs... Just in time for the briefing... Got the itinerary and also got to see my group members for the first time... Well my group's too quiet for comfort... And it was very small... Only 6 of us so far... Sigh... There's this other girl whom I know from church and Nat who's in the group too... We were the only ones who were talking... I guess the rest of them were just shy... Oh well...I hope they start to open up soon... There was also some sharing from participants from last year's mission trip... Well that was all we did during the briefing... It ended at around 1545hrs...

After briefing, I headed to church for choir practice and mass... We also practiced for the wedding next week and Christmas... Sigh... Everyone's getting married... Haiz... I wonder when our turn would be... Anyway, after mass, Nat and I headed home straight... I was feeling very very cold and tired... Exhausted... Maybe it's because of the lack of sleep... Or maybe it's because I didn't eat much today... Well I had no time... Was rushing from place to place... Sigh...

We reached home at around 2010hrs... I came up to my room immediately, put my bag down, turned on my laptop and cleared out my email... After that, I went to wash up and then went down to get a bottle of cranberry juice... Brought the bottle of juice up and then started blogging... Well that was pretty much my day... I'm just looking forward to 3 Saturday's more 'cause that's when I'd be flying off for my mission... And when I get back, it'll be 12 days to your return... I'm just counting down... Anyway, I'm going to do some stuff while waiting for your call... So till tomorrow...
