Change of programme: Submitted & paid
Status: Pending

This will be lifted up to God. The only things that I can do is to fast and pray...

PRAY!

Back to school to settle some matter today, and off to hall. Everything looks quite the same, except for the cleaners. I was sitting in the TV lounge, watching some shows, including this very old “播音人”... So retro! Anyway it's a long walk from SSC to Hall and then I realise ADM building is really very "chio". Bought a charging cable for my phone and after a few clicks, I realise I was overcharged!!!!!!! Haiz. Dinner time ciaos.

same role, new challenges

Sat: Announcement & Sermon
Sun: P&W

I'm still looking forward to the day of being a director!

Anyway anyhow, finally settled the event flyer that I've been working on for weeks, since it's been rejected and modified quite a bit cos of my childish nature. Real pictures, not clip arts and cartoons. Oops. Now hopefully everything falls in place nicely... With the backdrop, flyer, (poster) done, now just the website. Relying on Sly to get it done and Pub's will be able to move on to event decor! I seriously can't handle that part alone, yeah man.

Last Wednesday also met up with the GLs for a briefing, brainstorming and fun session talking crap. Of course, we ended off with a not-so-productive cheering session to end it off. JH the turtle has sent us all a cheer sheet! Brilliant! Now we don't have to rack our brains but to reuse most of the past year cheers. Nah who says... We still need some fresh new cheers to suit the wondrous and highly creative theme set by the committee haha. Counting down... Less than 3 weeks to FOC! WHEE!

Clean + Dirty = Fun

a heart of thanksgiving

Monday, July 7, 2008

There are always numerous things to thank God for, as simple as the following items: a day of sunshine, water to drink, clothes to wear, food to eat, and spectacle lenses that don't crack overnight while I sleep. Haha... Just like how my 1.5 months Nokia phone is doing well. Other than it flickers at times, at least it didn't auto shut down. When my music player is playing, the tracks don't skip like some users are experiencing because of the design of the back cover that doesn't clasp the memory card very tightly. Nothing much to complain about that. I love the 2.2" inch LCD that's crisp and clear.

GL meetup session has been settled. It'll be a good time of gathering and to be able to catch those who're now in the neighbouring Malaysia but are coming back in time for this meeting. Counting down, where FOC will officially start in 3 weeks' time! Get HIGH man. =P I'm expecting 90% attendance! (: Meanwhile really need to crack my head on what to make for the group identities. It's hard to stick to our budget if I want to make 'that' haha...

It's time to get started on the flyer! Meow.

conversation revealed

Sunday, July 6, 2008

Yeah I know I haven't been blogging and not even checking my tagboard. This is so me. = Anyway just felt the need to come back and type something cos God has been leading me into some really strange events that has happened over the past week.

Like how hard I prayed not to get into EEE, I really didn't, and was streamed into Civil. After which a few days after service that Kel asked me what am I going to take next semester, of which I said Civil. "Huh, why not appeal to Materials?" On the night that the results were out, I knew that JH appealed to Materials. I sms JY to ask him what's the lowest GPA in Materials. It's equivalent to my own GPA. At that point of time, I could hear this *piang piang* sound in my mind. I also sms SP to ask her if one doesn't like Phy/Math, what's the survival rate in Civil? Her reply: Die lah. JT suggested that I appeal to Materials after knowing that I've gotten into Civil, cos he knows that I'm not a Phy person. The deadline to change course is on the 15th. Should I or should I not?

It's been a busy week, full of appointments, exams, meetings, briefings and etc. Luckily I've stopped working and that really is a plus point. On the other hand, it only means no income for the past weeks of slacking. So I embarked on studying, attending the various meetings to make myself feel used. LB, FOC, church. God has enlarged my capacity to do what He knows I can do, and I guess I can handle what has been given so far. Inasmuch I'm looking forward to school, being bombarded by numerous activities at one time is no fun at all. I think I'll start missing the TV, the freedom, the slacker life that I'm enjoying right now. LB, and that's where the creativity comes in. Design! It leads me to think about my CG. One common trait amongst us - artistic. We're just artistic in one way or another. Look at the number of the members taking art, design, having a flair for making crafts and art works, drawing and etc. Talents and gifts. Being in the same CG produces the same "breed". Haha... Next FOC. ZC asked me to go down for a briefing with him yesterday. Only when I saw JY today that I realised it's because everyone was busy. Ended up I was the only GL who turned up. Never mind, put that aside. Just glad I went down to listen to what has been said. It helps in such a way that now I know how the programme flow is like, what to expect, what to prepare, how to engage the rest of the GLs. I hope to meet up with them all soon, and pray hard for all to stay in the group. Church. Let's start with CG first. A number of things happened. One left, another joined, but all the rest remained. The last meeting was awesome. When times are bad, encourage one another. When times are good, we all celebrate together. After missing so many meetings and going for makeup, 'home' is still the best. That's what I can say. Just like what I've shared, very thankful for the opportunity to rise up in CB, being picked and chosen to be groomed by Kel. There's still a lot to learn, definitely, both spiritually and on leadership skills.

God has made my dreams and visions come true. In the past, a long time back in Pri sch, I wanted to be a prefect. In Sec sch, I wanted to be a student councillor. In JC, I wanted to be part of the house committee, and also a captain of my CCA team. Nothing came true. Instead, I was assigned to take attendance in Pri sch, a monitress in Sec sch, an OGL in JC, and an ordinary senior in my CCA. Nothing too extraordinary. Now that I'm recalling back to where I started out as a pupil who helped her teacher to take class attendance, these are little stepping stones, allowing me to become bolder, to whom I am right now. In Uni, organising outings and gatherings, becoming a GL, joining the main committee of LB, having intention to do more in the year to come and taking up more leadership roles that I've ever imagined. The goal card 2008 is coming alive, like how a genie came out of the magical lamp. So this is the first revelation I call it, on leadership.

Secondly, networking. How I got introduced to Geoff to take the exam, and allowing myself to be 'brainwashed' into thinking how great a life planner is gonna be. I'm still not fully convinced about meeting quota, and let's just put it this way. Hmm then one night God told me to approach these two people and get into touch with them once again, YQ and JR. It's really time to engage and pluck into the lives of these two people. Over the weekend, I sms YQ and we had a good sms conversation, and right now on msn, JR and I are chatting since the year 2003? Not sure what it's supposed to mean, maybe it's a chance to sow into their lives. Oh God, open my eyes to see, and my ears to hear, the crying of the lost out there.

Here I end my super long post. Haha I'm expecting more to come this week. Design! Rise up! Engage! To Him be the glory (:
