YES. i was so laggy, but now, it's better. actually i don't know what to blog about. OH YAH. i got top in class for math, which isn't very good, cos i'm just the average in other classes. well, i'm quite happy, considering that's my aim for this test. so, YAY. and mr low is going to treat me FISH AND CO.!! or MANHATTEN FISH MARKET. totally rocks. i'm ecstatic. but i'll have to buck up MORE cos i didn't really do so well for MYEs. hope i promote. next aim, PASS AND GET AT LEAST B GRADE FOR BIO TEST ON THURSDAY.

today was a horrible horrible day. but it was a great evening. bad day because the school literally locked us in for the racial harmony events. it is so stifling, i feel. we wanted to go opposite school to buy bubbletea and fulfill my chaitaokueh cravings, but the teacher stood at the gate and refused us entry into the outside world, because they want to make us stay in the school, and "foster the school spirit". that is like crazy.
i was so so angry because all i wanted to do was to go and have my lunch and come back to celebrate racial harmony. but what did i get? i ate crap food in the crap canteen, which totally ripped me off. we were all so frustrated, kityee nearly cried. she has issues with the school. i used to love to go to school. but now, i dread it so much because most of the people there only go 'law by law', and they can't open up their minds to see if they could just be wrong about some of these things. totally spoiled the mood for today. i agree with kityee, if the school wants to foster the school spirit, they shouldn't force people to do it, if they do that, it'll only make students hate the school more.
so we just sat at the cafe and did our math tutorials. i really don't understand the school. it's so stifling there. sigh. technically spending one more year there. now i know how much fairfield means to me, and i treasure it so much now.
on a lighter note, i enjoyed today's training. but the PT was crazy. so tiring! my arms nearly dropped off. i enjoyed the dinner too. after training, i went home and bathed. came out again to meet the volleyballers at lot 1. tis' the time to bond. haha. after that, studied with cass till about 1040, and here i am now. i enjoyed the later part of today, but not the afternoon. it totally ruined my mood. i'm in disbelief.

just want to express my feelings of happiness when i heard that eunice finally accepted and made a commitment. finally, after the weeks of persuasion and ecouragement. i'm glad for you.
anyway, it's getting tougher. studying till late is becoming a chore. can't stay out too late cos i'll be very tired. more and more things are piling up, i can't seem to balance everything. tired. ired. red. ed. d.
on a lighter note. i got a new phone. K810i. cybershot. now can take nicer pics. and put more songs cos i've a 2GB memory stick. yay. (:

today was so very tiring. after 'training', we went for CIP. it was so unproductive cos 0 people from our assigned block showed interest in the blood donation drive. and there was this woman with 5 dogs. they kept barking and we were all afraid. LOL.
after CIP, headed to BPP (Bukit Panjang Plaza) to have dinner with the volleyball-ers. in the end it was only cassandra, eunice, denise, weiliang and me. ate MOS!!! and studied there till the guy chased us out. so we went to macs. it was so so productive, i'm proud of us. finished tutorial on partial fractions!! and did a lil' of GP too.
i thought today would be crazy cos i had so little sleep the past 2 days. but prayers from my classmates and friends helped. (: and the verse that michelle sent me- "i can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!' really helped alot! thanks. to kityee and lissa too.

As I was listening in Math class today, (and standing in front of the board trying to write out ques 11a that took me 10 mins), i got another revelation from God. we all want so many things in life. more specifically, material goods. latest CDs, new bags, new clothes.. you get the point. yet, I am willing to forgo all these if only I had good grades, because I studied so hard, only to get 4 Us.
but I stopped to think. will getting good grades really make me happy and satisfied? will it really give me eternal happiness? NO. it's the same. I spent 10 mins writing out my answer on the board (which is a long time), just to get it erased by Mr Ling. It's not permanent. The same with material goods and good grades.
We all have to focus on the permanent things of life, that will stick with us even through eternity. yes, some may have good grades, but what if they do not know Christ? it'll be a shame. I may not get excellent marks, but I have Christ who lives in me, and that alone, brings me joy, happiness and satisfaction that no one, and nothing, in this world, can possibly give me.
so back to the analogy of the whiteboard markers, do you want to achieve things that are perishable? or do you want things that are eternal? if you want eternal rewards, and not happiness that lasts only for a moment, put down your normal 'earthly' marker today, and pick up a 'heavenly' permanent marker. know that the things you achieve with the permanent marker will last forever.

just had a 'counselling' session with uncle ronnie and aunty june, my ex-sunday school teachers. aunty june's a lecturer at NYP and is a psychologist. uncle ronnie is a metallist or something that works with metals and engines. they took the time to see where i went wrong in my midyears, and now i'm gonna start restructuring. hope this will get me promoted.
God has something very special in stored for me. I can feel it. This is one of the times where the verse comes in,
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
-Ephesians 3:20-21
I believe that He will make anything possible for me, using His power, and not mine. In the sermon at Aldersgate on saturday, God spoke to me too. He reassured me to have faith in Him, and that nothing could go wrong, if i took the first step of faith, and God will do the rest.
"This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.' "
-2 Chronicles 20:15b
"You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you."
-2 Chronicles 20:17
Just wait and see. God's hand is moving, because people are praying. (:

this is one of the worse results i've ever gotten in my entire history of education.
Math - U
Econs - U
Lit - U
Bio(H1) - U
GP - C
Chi - B
let it speak for itself. I am very very upset. everything's just going down. i am so bummed out. yet, i know that i'm doing this all for God, and results shouldn't matter. but still, deep inside, it hurts to see that after the hard work i've put in, still U's. and believe me, this is one time i really worked hard. well, God probably has more to teach me. so i'll just be patient and wait.
today God spoke to me during lit lecture. he said, my power is made perfect in your weakness, which is clearly my studies. so i guess he's trying to say that through my results, he'll unleash his power and do miraculous signs. i'm just waiting for that to happen. in the meantime, i'll work hard(er).

quite a good day today. supposed to be very tight timetable, but eventually many things were cancelled, so it was kinda slack. turnoff of the day was when the relief teacher for PE made us do PT when we were promised games. i was so unhappy. agh, whatever, never mind, will not let it affect me. it's so minor, yet my class felt strongly about it, cos we wanted to take PE as a slack time to get away from studies. in the end, more exercises. sian.
but got back econs and bio today. don't wish to talk about it. after all these disappointments, i decided i will restructure my study programme, cos i don't wanna retain.
anyway, went to mos burger at raffles city to meet alycia for tuition. i am so clear about demand and supply and elasticity now, thank you! at this rate, i hope i'll ace my promos. (:

the two slackest days. mondays and thursdays. and today is one of them. I was very very hyper today, and ber han and i kept conning kityee. she believed every single one of our bluffs. HAHA. funny. well i've decided i'm gonna mug my a*s off, and get promoted. i don't wish to retain. i'm gonna stay disciplined and do my revision and work regularly. promos are in two months!
anyway on a lighter note, yesterday was church anniversary. and it was quite nice to see all the previous pastors of faith methodist church. the cake was huge! happy belated 41st anniversary to FMC!
i'm going to have to change my way of thinking if i wanna start living for Jesus. Die to self, live for Christ. (:

i am going to start my life right once again. i'm surrendering it to Jesus. i really want to, because he is the way, the truth and the life. he is amazing, and there's this deep sense and desire to want to hunger and thirst for him all my life. i want that fire again, i want revival, God.
At the cross i bow my knee,
where your blood was shed for me.
There's no greater love than this.
You have overcome the grave,
your glory fills the highest place.
What can separate me now?
