Back from band.. felt funny in band. No more jeanette, felicia and archana.. all the sec 4s gone. The band feels different. I miss the seniors. Now the batch of ppl i look up to are gone. Feeling sad.. the SYF realli helped us to get to know each other more. Not surprising that the non SYF dun reali feel it. And the percussion section look so pathetic with only 3 ppl today. Look so empty. Dun have jeanette complaining abt her skin, tan etc. No felicia with the retarded smile. No archana rolling her eyes and making funny comments. At least archana and jeanette will come back again. Haiz..

Got back report book today. Noticed something. my chinese marks are so cool.
sec1 semester 1: C6
sec1 semester 2: D7
sec2 semester 1: E8

Rawks rite? 6,7,8. just like in p 1 and p2. Band 1,2,3,4. My chinese, eng and lit ruined my marks. Chinese is always ruining my marks but eng and lit? This year was a total shock lor. EVERYBODY'S eng and lit dropped. I had a hard time pulling my C6 to a B4. Drop from A1,2 to C6 lor!! still have 1 semester to pull my B4 back to A1,2.

Haiz.. i'm in a little depressed mood now. SHall not blog anymore but leave you with a song.

Back from the bbq. Fun.. and we had a couple of "boring" games. Sleep over was not realli what i expected. I think it kinda got ruined by the watching of movies. Some watch already so not so fun. Some not watching coz too scary. Some wanted to watch Matrix the last movie which everyone fell asleep at least once while watching except maybe apple. Haha.. Still.. the whole thing was fun. Haiz.. looking forward to June retreat. Shiok man..

I starting to feel tired at last due to the lack of sleep last nite so i think i shall take a nap now.

1 week gone and so many things happened. What an eventful week. With post exam activities and band starting as well as getting back exam papers.

I shall not go into the boring details of each event. I'll just point out what i want to share.

Rmb i bloggged abt me being veri sick when i took my geog paper? All i could hope was to do ok. And my only prayer for the geog paper was to ask for enough strength to just get through the paper and not like give up halfway. Guess what my result was??? It still wasn't fabulous but i did quite ok. For the back part which i told you i started stoning at and couldn't think, I actually got 51/60!!!!!!! Thank You Lord. I was like so happy when i got my results the words thank you Lord immediately left my lips and then i realise sumone was looking at me. Haha. The bad thing is that Mrs SHam is so... ARGH! and will minus marks from almost everyones script saying that it is imposible to get so HIGH. Teacher was too leniant. So i kana -5. And she anyhow minus wan lar. At least not as bad as Jayne t. -9 so kelian. Did so well got 57.5/60 kana -9. Anyway i still got an A2 although i could have gotten A1 i'm not gona complain. Not much anyway. I thought i would fail or get 50 something. Thankyou thankyou Lord. This is my testimonial that God answers prayer and makes things turn out better than expected. For this case the prayer was answered quick. Coz well the marks came "quick". Can't say so for other prayer. But prayer without action also won't work. I studied like for 4 hrs the day before for geog. Just like to point out that you can't expect miracles to happen if you dun at least do something.

Dancercise. Another example that God answers prayers. We din realli complete the dance until like during the 5 to 10 mins when all the groups were rehearsing while we were still cherographing the dance. Haha.. did a realli simple wan. we were like so stressed before the dance. Panicking and all. And i made a simple prayer. Just get me through this. and let everything turn out well. so we came up with a dance and soon we were on stage. Things did not go as planned and we make a fool of ourselves on stage just like every other class. HAHA♪. The 4 couples were doing different parts of jive at the same time and moving in different direction. Yep. and when we were done the stupid music wouldn't stop. We left the stage feeling happy coz we had fun but humiliated. No FACE liao. Results... in third place..... 2e4!!! Incredible! We danced like ... still can get third. Is not like the other classes worse than us. Co ordination a bit off too but they had some nice bits here and there. Once again, THank you Lord. Like He realli answers my prayers. ALthough for many things it takes a long time before i see the effect. At least i know He answers so i guess i will not be so anxious abt waiting in future.

What a long post. Still have one more event. Not testimonial anymore but just to destress. Then again.. i dun feel like talking abt it now. ABt CL B and some school stuff. Lots of talking and some crying. Anyway for some other time.

OH and band is like taking so much of my time again. I realise once again that musicians get the least credits. Always left out. Dancers actors even singers get the attention. But not the musicians. Like they think it is so easy to make music. How much time and practice it takes to perfect one song. And then if you never play for 1 month ur muscles slack and it is veri difficult to get into shape again. Dancer muscles might slack yea but it would never take as long as it does for our lip muscles to firm up again. SO qi si ren. And guess what my dad put for the trip to overseas thing. 1) Thailand 2)malaysia 3)brisbane 4)Hawaii well i can't blame him. How to rasie the 2500 needed for the hawaii thing? And He was like why so expensive? Even go malaysia need $500 to $1000. We go ourselves cheaper. So if i can't go for the trip in the end, well pls dun rub it in ok?

Stil got so many other events but i shall not blog abt it. Insignificant.
TIll the next update abt my life.

Me looking forward to the BBQ next week. Actually i'm looking forward to the sleepover part. Haha.. anyway, i just realised that i've never seen any of the cell leaders angry. There are times when you can tell that they might be a little pissed but they have never blown their top before. Hm.. such an interesting discovery. And i thank God once again for the many blessings in my life. Example, the church. i wonder if i ever go another church, will the cell leaders be as patient as ours? And will we ever be as close? One thing's for sure we wouldn't have fond memories to talk abt during those free times. Though the church may not have our own building yet, i believe that God is watching over our church. Haiz.. i'm so blessed i often take it for granted. I take so many things for granted.

i think many ppl take the many blessings in our life for granted. I know i take it for granted that my sins are forgiven by God. Some of us have the mentality that it's ok to sin as God will forgive us. Not that they actively try to sin, they do try not to. But when they do they just think oh i'll just ask God for forgiveness. I wonder God must be thinking if we think that way. You ungrateful creature?? We dun know for sure. When we know we have been forgiven, i wonder how do we actually feel. DO we feel grateful and happy like a person who begged and begged and finally got what he/she wanted? Or are we indifferent and just think that oh i'm clean again?

I also take it for granted that i come from a christian family. Sometimes i even think that if i weren't from a christian family, i might have been closer to God. Coz of the obstacles and stuff. Then again, i would not be getting the encouragement from my parents either which helps me grow stronger in faith.

There are so many things we take for granted. That we have a chance to spend eternity in heaven, that we can sleep knowing we should wake up the next day, that we go to church, that we have certain talents. SO many things. I think life realli can be so much easier to live with if we would just count our blessings name them one by one. Life aint all that bad after all. There's always sumone worse off then YOU.

Freaky Nightmare

Wed took long "nap". Dreamt abt numbers. Troubled dream coz i was feeling troubled and stress in that little dream. Day before preparing for maths and geog mah.

Yest took a 2 hr nap. Keep dreaming abt science stuff. today had science test.
Yest night. NIGHTMARE....


THE NIGHTMARE:
I was just talking to God abt stuff.. and suddenly i think it got darker not sure. But i think i stop hearing His voice. Did i even hear His voice in the first place? Anyway i'm very sure the next thing that followed was i heard laughter. Evil laughter. Got louder and louder. Laughing at me. I was certain it was the devil. I kept saying 'shut up devil' but the laughter kept going on and on. I asked the Lord to shut him up but nothing happened. I just kept hearing the laughter over and over again.
And then i "woke up" (still dreaming but i didn't know i was at that time lar). My arms were near my neck and i couldn't move. I was sweating and stuff lar. Then my next thought was 'oh.. *gui ya sen'. Lol.. like so weird. gui ya sen still oh.. Then i tried to move again realli cannot. so freaky lor. got a little anxious and tried with all my might to get up and i manage to lar. But it was like i was on a reclining chair.. slowly go up. For some reason i change my mind and went down again.

AND I WOKE UP. i have no idea why i'm blogging this down but just felt like dumping it somewhere. I've no idea what this means. No idea why it happen. I've ever gotten dreams that i always think that the "monster" in the dream is the devil. and often call on God for help in the dream. Can it be a spiritual attack? I have no idea what a spiritual attk will be like. Than again maybe not.

Haiz... later better ask my dad or something...

*gui ya sen.
you go and sleep and then suddenly you wake up and you can't move. You can't speak but you can hear and stuff. Well.. some ppl say it's coz there's spirit pressing on you. (in my case dun have lar. I just couldn't move so i though gui ya sen. Not lor) ANd if i'm not wrong you think there's something under ur bed???? Can't rmb what joy said. Anyway something like that.

back from school. Tml last paper is science must cram lor.

Yesterday was feeling veri sick. First paper which is maths 1 i was okey. after recess as we started doing the geog paper, i was feeling realli cold. But like i didn't want to ask the teacher to reduce the speed of the fan coz at the place i was sitting she will have to reduce 3 fans lor. SO i suffered through the whole geog paper. Wad Sucked the most was i was kinda gong out i practically stone at the paper. Not processing anything. I couldn't think abt anything other than that i'm so cold and SO TIRED. so i think i'm gonna fail my geog.

Came home and was so totally exhuasted and feeling so sick i just bath and slept. from 1 to 7.30 pm. And i kept having dreams abt numbers. DUno why. Maybe coz first time i studied non stop from 3 to 11 the day before.
Anyway, woke up still feeling sick. BUt after a bath felt better lar. Then i watch amazing race and slept at 12.30

MIRACLE. i woke up feeling a little sleepy but not tired at all. My headache was gone and i felt so much better. plus i din feel like puking animore. THANK GOD FOR MY SPEEDY RECOVERY!!! I think i ace through my maths pp2. Lit kinda sucky but i always sucked at LIT.

Anyway the pt of blogging today even though it is exam period is just basically to testify that God watches over us. Brings me back to what david said last week. Everyone ask to touch Jesus. Only the person with fever then Jesus came to him. Well.. to be honest i was so KONK out that i didn't even think abt praying. I was JUST SO SICK. I couldn't think i couldn't sleep i was cold and i was hot. Yet he took my sickness and gave me strength. I feel a thousand times better today and more energetic. THanks to the Lord from whom my strength comes from!

Gona sleep now so TATA~

Hmm.. today some stuff happened tht got me thinking. Sum one in my class broke down. Probably too much stress. Anyway, she's a christian and she was pouring out all her toubles to her friends lar. I happened to be nearby and heard the whole thing. Well... to me the solution to the ptoblem was SOOOO obvious and i wondered why she didn't do it. So i asked her if she had commited her problems to God. and she said No and that she doesn't have such a strong faith. Well.. as i didn't quite know her so i didnt say much later.

So i was just thinking abt what Shufen said last sunday. We(at least christians) know what is the "model" answer to so many things. the thing is WE DON'T DO IT!!!! We know we need to pray and ask God for help. And we complain abt being so tired and how we can't carry on. we keep trying to solve the prob on our own and yet nth works. And we wonder why. God must have been standing by, watching over you and just patiently waiting. Waiting for us to turn to Him. To fianlly admit that we can't do it alone. That we need His help. To surrender
THis also brought me back to what my mom said abt based on a sermon that chinese pastor who walks everywhere preached abt. Our job is relatively easy. God gets the hard job. Well it's not hard to Him maybe but to us it is. We just have to commit our problems to Him and trust and have faith that He will make things turn out well.

That's the prob with Man. WE like to be independent. TO rely on ourselves. But when the going gets tough then WHAT?

So to ppl out there, trust in God and cast all ur cares upon Him. And anytime you duno what to do, just cast all ur cares upon Him. Things will turn out well. For surely goodness and mercy will follow me, all the days of my life and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
and rmb, u need to have faith too.
