Good Friday

Saturday, March 22, 2008

Jesus Christ descended to the dead and on the Third Day, He rose again. Today He is still alive, reigning in riches and glory. I'm exceedingly thankful for His mercy and grace, especially on this day that is Good Friday, as Christians all around the world celebrate Easter in their local churches.

Drama in church was good, cos of the concept that's really fresh and new. A hi-tech gadget that stores memories, allowing people to view their past, be it happy or sad events. Other than the idea being unethical since it infringes human rights, it would be something good to have, if let's say, someone loses his/her memory in a car accident and the gadget will come in handy for recollection of events that happened in the past. Technology can make or break? During the first service, I was busy preparing for the second service, so didn't catch the full drama. Only until the second service did I truly comprehend the story and received PK's sermon with much understanding. Message was good. PT also preached well. On the way home, I heard this line 'PT's becoming more good-looking.' Haha, I AGREE!

The first service WM and I did better. Or rather, I screwed up a bit during the second part. Was following the sequence till KW sang a different part from what I was flashing and I was stunned for a second. That's one mistake. Lesson relearned: Play-by-ear. Then came another error which I felt was more grave than the previous: Flashed the line only after the 4th line was being sung. OMG. Total madness! I actually searched for the wrong song. To make things worse, WM didn't help me at all when he knew what the song was. -___-|"""" It was only when I asked him then he told me...Ya, he knew the song and didn't tell me what I needed to know. Such good teamwork leh. Luckily SH didn't scold or blame me, even asking me not to think of it since it's over(which I agree with it. Who wants to think of their mistakes?) I'm very much thankful for such encouraging leaders that I aspire to be like one. Being an encourager. Yea I can be one from this day on. Virtuous cycle!

TIRED! Need to catch some sleep. The 3am-7am sleep hours need to undergo some adjustments or my grades will continue to drop. Oh push it up like a push-up bra please. =X Then there's this test that's coming up next week... Aw...

My phone lagged while sending 10 smses at one go. Is that a hint? You know, Starhub is offering very attractive student plan only for new customers. Been so excited over phone deals this past month. Haiz. Don't they know what is customer retention? Launching into the market to secure a larger market share by competing with SingTel seems hard so they'd rather lose the existing customers and go for the new subscribers. Now the existing customer needs to cancel the old line in order to capture the new line benefits. But I don't wanna pay for a new SIM and registration fee. Yes, unwilling to the MAX man. My wanted list is already making me figure out where to get the money from to get my hands on those. If only I can get picked to win the 1st/2nd/3rd/consolation prize for VC07, since the video advertisement that I voted for won the 1st prize!

Existing vs New
1) 1000 smses vs 2000 smses
2) 100 minutes vs 200 minutes
3) Paying for caller-id vs 12 months of caller-id
4) $0 with free upgrade to USIM vs $36.75 for new SIM+registration
5) Current number vs Change of handphone number
Point 5 is a hassle.

Which is better?

life is amazing

Yesterday I was in such good mood for blogging, on the verge of resetting up a new blog. In the end I didn't but it was alright. At least it's been done now. Time seriously flies in school that I don't know how to describe it. And there's this maths test tomorrow. Grr. Obviously I've been lagging behind again, drowned in that sea of incomplete tutorials. It feels sad. I hate it cos my parents trust me so much; they gave me a lot of freedom and also the permission to go on this overseas trip that might have been impossible. By God's grace, the impossible became possible. And it shall be proven again, in the area of studies, the impossible shall become possible. AMEN!

After this semester there would be the special term, which should be a long holiday for me if not for my friends who are all considering to clear some modules during the S term. I didn't think so much of it. After exams, it's supposed to be holidays? And holidays should be spent on enrichment courses, some shopping sprees, more fellowship with the people around me, and also to find a job to earn some quick bucks! Who would have thought of studying even during the special term... After all, when I pass all my subjects this semester, I'd have cleared 4 electives which is ahead of most people who only cleared 2. Though the minor part does make me worry a little... Additional 3 modules aw. Still, after seeing what is being offered this S term, I'm pretty interested in languages, especially the Korean class. It has been something that I want to take since JC/secondary times, with that Korean wave that struck here long ago. Here's a chance, 'free' cos it's been included in the humongous fees so shouldn't I try to apply for it? After weighing the pros and cons, like inability to take up an office-hour job, it still leaves me unsure of whether to apply or not. It's 50% chance of getting a place in the course anyway. Yea maybe no harm trying. Whether I get it or not depends on whether God wants to grant it to me or not... Korean class/job(extra income)? Hard decision.

To add on, it's a lonely evening today. A totally opposite from last Tues when four groups of people approached me for dinner. It's a total disappointment today with no one is available for dinner. Sigh. But thank you Jesus for my neighbour yingy. She sent me a sms asking if I wanted dinner at the most crucial moment. Becos Easter is so near, many cell groups are actually fasting today and I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bed. When I woke up it was total madness. Actually thought it was morning already -.- Then the hunger pangs hit me, making me so blur in the head, and my head was really spinning very badly. Alas 30 minutes later and came a knock on my door. My bbq chicken set meal!!! It's Korean food, lol. Now I wonder if there's any link between the class and the food. Gobbled it up immediately and now I feel so contented and satisfied and I can only say 'Thank you JESUS!' and also to yingy(:

Now OEC is confirmed. Korean class is unconfirmed. Year 2 streaming is unconfirmed. MY prayer frequency needs to go up! And I'm all excited for the Easter production. My head is no longer spinning, no dizziness. Clear in the mind! WOOHOO.
