woah its been a long time since i last blogged!!
the holidays have started!! woohoo!! and i have lots of things i want and have to do.. some of the stuff include the 4000 word essay i have to do, at least i made a start haha, about 3 more other essays, music compositions, and practice for my upcoming guitar exam.
and of course do lots of nothing.
and then in dec its off to the phillipines for the mission trip!! and then beijing with my family, and then a partial youth camp cos i got guitar practice, will try to get myself excused as much as possible :(
just about a while ago i opened some obscure cabinets located at the outskirts of my room.. and one of them contained lots of old old old stuff that i used to play with, rather intellectual stuff i must say lol.. connect 4, a tangram, mastermind, puzzles, as well as a stack of unused origami paper, and hordes and hordes of origami i made, and i was in shock for a while how i made so much of it. no wonder i can still remember how to fold paper cranes up to this day. lol.
childhood memories. and i caught the last 15 minutes of spongebob this morning on kids central at 9:15.. RARR i miss being able to watch kids central without this voice at the back of my head screaming 'you're retarded! you're retarded!' while i'm at the channel. lol i really miss kids central. lol.
ok then. cya
i thank God for the results he has given me today. sure i'm not the top for anything, as my mind so dearly craves, but what God has awarded to me today was above my expectations already. i cudn't ask for more.
sure, there are many reasons that i could have to be disappointed, among them the introduction of this elitist 'dean's list' thing by the school, which i didn't qualify for haha.
but then again to be disappointed would be to be ungrateful to God and what he has granted me. i'm also happy for my close friends who are happy with their results. its nice to hear friends say that they are happy with their marks.
i'd like to conclude with a verse Colossians 3:23, 'Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men'. i think this verse is most appropriate at this time, as it reminds us it is God who ultimately pulls us through. :)
hello!!
today i'd like to blog about an article i read in the straits times today by tan seow hon.. its on page S17, review, titled 'True love? Look no further than friendship'. yeap it basically talks about how love has become overrated in our society, and yeap how the first thing that comes to people's minds when they hear the words true love is romantic love. but the writer of the article suggests a different type of true love, which is that of strong friendship.
one of the things the writer mentioned was that "We do not share our deepest secrets with our business associates; we may eat a satisfying burger with an acquaintance, but it is with our best friend that we think of sharing with great relish the description of our discovery os something mundane like delicious food." and i think thats quite true, considering i talk the most and do the most out of point things when i'm with my closest friends :D
so perhaps while i'm not so gifted in the area of romantic love, (eheh) if true love is having rock solid friendships, then i've definitely experienced it already.
buargh and tagboard has mutated into some dunno what cPanel thing.. dunno if it is a scam to get u to reveal ur password or what.. haha i have a good mind to dump the tagboard again.
haha yeap thats my thoughts for the day. cya.
SO.
its all over. but the end isnt as sweet.. the end of last thursday was sweeter haha. maths yesterday was terribly hard, and following a four day break from exams, = not veri good. well but i've told God that i'd accept whatever grade comes my way for maths, and of course for the rest of my papers. because i'm sure God will be fair to me and reward me according to the amount of effort i've put in.
music was quite okay. i spent quite a while cramming in all the set work and world music stuff.. and i guess it paid off. the music exam was really fun.. we all had to bring cd players cos the exam tracks are on the cd (u get to play them over and over again. haha but u onli have abt half an hour per track) and my awesome cd player i loaned from my friend cant work if it ain't plugged in. so i got to sit nxt to a socket point hahaha, amidst a comment by the teacher that i was lucky it wasn't raining today. lol.
after music we went to vivocity.. AND.. aiyah dun go lah. so crowded.. plus shops also not say veri good (well at least not those on the 2nd floor which we walked through) and now harbourfront's going to be terribly crowded because theres nothing to eat at vivocity except for carl's jr, which was probably terribly crowded too, not to mention the building looks like my school in the early stages of construction. walk down a corridor and u see shop posters being put up, goods being shipped in, and u go up to the top floor and theres construction work going on. but had great fun hanging out with friends and just talking nonsense at pastamania. hmm there aren't a lot of nice places to visit in singapore.. which are truly quiet and serene. maybe the airport.. but the travelling time spoils everything haha.
so what am i going to do after the exams? haha my life after exams and when i dun have exams doesnt really differ much. as long as i've got free time i just spend time on music, music and music. and yeap most of my hol assignments are music based anyway. and i will try to complete it in november so that dec can be free for mission trip!! and for some family holiday trip my parents are planning.
k then. cya!!
hello!!!
the first 3 days of exams are over.. and i must say God has really been good to me during these days. even though before and after the exam i was feeling most lethargic and tired, during the exam itself i was rather 'on form' haha. but looking back i realise that it must have been God giving me the strength, i would never have been able to pull myself through the past few papers without God's providence.
tml is econs, then the first, and most bit of my exams would be over!! cos theres just math P2 nxt tues and music nxt wed. woohoo!!
i'm listening to the offering's 'walking down heaven's road' now and its a really joyful song!! haha. but i cant seem the find the lyrics on the net. must really be quite an original composition haha. and they're really good.
yeapp well thats all for now.. i hope my brain cools down in time for me to get a good night's sleep!! haha. cya.
