Finally, I CAN TAKE A BREATHER!
WHOOOO!!!
Yes! I'm ecstatic!!

After 3 days of intensive mugging, the worst of the worst is finally over!
For those who do not know, I DISLIKE my humans. papers the most. That's because I can't prepare in advance for them. So having all 3 of them in a row was quite a killer.
Anyway, they're OVER OVER OVER!!!! except geog p1 lar but it's mcq.

For those who have prayed/been praying for me so far, here's a big THANK YOU! They really made a difference. Somehow, I could feel God watching over me even as I did my papers. My marks ain't gonna be terrific, i know i didn't put in enough effort to expect that, but it's feels as if they are gonna be better than what my efforts were worth.

So, a disclaimer even before prelim is over and before the results come out in abt a month's time, all credit goes to God.

And they say, the bird's damn lucky.
But I know better. The bird's just blessed.

Yes! I've finally gotten the motivation to start studying - 2 weeks before prelim.
Seems like it's a habit I've developed. I'm not sure about sec 1, but if i remember correctly, I've always started studying only 2 weeks before exams since sec 2.
Crap. I hope i would have the drive to continue even after prelim.

Anyway, I'm here to post my prelim schedule for those who wish to know and pray.
Many thanks in advance.

W580i. Big screen, slider, flat. Grey blue/Orange white.
Oh my.

Ok. I'm suppose to do a game now.

"FUN" GAME
Rules of the game: Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.

1. I think sharing straws is gross. Maybe that's because when I was young, there were a number of occasions when I found food stuck on the straw which I shared with my brothers. Imagine sucking that up :X

2. I have a strange opposite "curse" when it comes to my results. Generally, if I expect to get back good grades, I get bad ones. But when I think I'm gonna do badly, somehow I end up getting good grades. Oh, this does not apply to Chinese. I always get bad grades for that. ho hum. But in everything, give thanks, yes?

3. I want to see snow. FALLING. I used to cut rough paper into small squares and throw them out of the window. It's a pretty sight :) That was until I realised I was littering.

4. In Primary One, I wanted to become a president. The first female president of singapore. Then my brothers laughed at me. So instead I wanted to fly to the moon. I think Uncle David said he would bring me there. Maybe it was just a dream.

5. Here's a secret. I'm scared of heights. I don't dare to stand on the balcony of houses that are really high. I used to be scared of using the overhead bridge. I imagine I would fall if I walked too near to the side so I always walk in the middle whenever i had to use it :/

6. I never understood why people love going to town. I feel so crapified each time I'm there, I just want to go home. I imagine that I have a hundred things not yet done whenever I am there.

7. Sometimes I feel like a giant. Tall, big hands, big feet. I told my mom that if I grow anymore, I am going to see a doctor to get some growth stunting pills. Too bad the nurse said my growth rate was still within the normal range during health check up.

8. I want to dress better, but have no guts, no money (i spend too much on food), and almost no clothes that match my frame.

9. Surprise surprise. I like the chinese language. I just can't seem to read it, write it or speak it. So i just listen. To 93.3FM. To Mayday and S.H.E. Surprise surprise.

10. I think this game is quite fun. I think I imagine too much. I think I'm weird.

TAGS. Dawn, Jere, Rochelle, Jesse, HuiJun and Joyce.
Wahaha. I manage to think of 6 names.



Anyway,
Happy TWENTY-FIFTH birthday
to Daniel Yan.
This is a distorted photo, but it's the only single shot I have. HAHA.

I am almost ready to declare my phone gone.
Tmr shall be the last attempt.

To say that I don't feel sad at all, is a lie. My phone was my mp3, camera, "gaming station" and alarm clock. I feel a little cut off from the world. But I'll survive. It's just a phone after all.

Ever heard of a guy called Nick Vujicic?
He is a guy with no limbs. I highly encourage you to watch THIS.
For people who are facing difficult situations.

I was reading through my message history on msn.
"I believe passionately about masterlife and the results it can bring" - 3 Sept '06
How did we end up treating masterlife as a really tedious and boring thing to do?
4 Sept '06, we saw our unfinished new church and was super excited about service.
How did coming to church end up a chore for some?

It's questions like these that will start to weigh you down as you ponder over the answers. Well, I'll encourage you to watch the video. Hear it from a man who has no limbs.

Ahhh!
I can't find my phone!
I think I left it on the bus.

Jix.

I am feeling ...
low in spirits.

It was with a heavy heart that I went for FOP. Even after trying to quieten down my heart through prayer, I still did not feel ready for it. So, it was a good thing that we started with Don Moen. I must say, I felt greatly encouraged through his songs. For awhile, I thought everything had gotten better. But it all came back when I reached home.

I feel weary and disappointed. I don't know how it happened, but one moment there were people beside me, and the next, I'm all alone. I feel tired of conditional love, conditional support, well, just conditions. But I know I'm just the same.

More can still be done, and I believe more WILL be done.
"However when the Son of Man comes, will he still find faith on the earth?" - Luke 18:8

You are my strength
Strength like no other
Reaches to me

You are my hope
Hope like no other
Reaches to me

In the fullness of your grace
In the power of your name
You lift me up

Tough times build tough people.

True no?
Someone said that it's better to hear the seemingly harsh words that are true, than to hear words that are diluted in order to spare the person from hurt.

I thought about it for quite awhile, and found it true. Hear only the good things? Nah. I would rather hear the truth as it is. It saves so much time. You know where you are going wrong, and can quickly deal with it. Not cut out to be a leader? Then quickly find out what you were really made to be instead of trying to be someone you're not.

Something that someone said reminded me of something someone else said which I used to repeat to others frequently. Imagine you start off with skill point 2 in a particular field. You work really hard and manage to get yourself to skill point 5. But no matter how hard you work, you can never do better than someone who started off with skill point 4. Well the point was to do something you're naturally gifted in.

I thought about myself and about others.
Have I been diluting my words too much and as a result, have been hindering another's development? Have I been trying to be someone or something that I'm not? Then where am I suppose to be? Who am I suppose to be? And as a group, where and who are we?

I think we are quite lost. Maybe what we need is someone who has the courage to speak the truth. Maybe harsh, but truth that will wake us up, open our eyes and then head in the right direction. This generation has a very lost feel to it.

So maybe there will be hurts and tears. But at the end of it all, we'll come out tougher. We'll come out thanking the person who woke us up.
After all, it is the tough ones who survive and win the race.
