Most exciting week thus far

Saturday, May 9, 2009

Oh, so you mean I just updated exactly one week ago. Those early mornings and late nights have kept me a little less alert, dreamy. Now that I recall how I walk on the road in an erratic manner, I could only thank God that I manage to get home safely every night. Got home from Sandy's celebration and I stared at the road junction. The green fence is still on the ground, broken into parts. While JY drove us home last night, we witnessed the post-accident scene of a car accident, where the ambulance arrived not long after. Treasure life, seriously. Health is important too!

It's been such a fantastic week that I don't know where to start from. On odd days I woke up at 5.45am to prepare to travel on SH's car to JW for SOT! On even days I woke up at 6 plus to prepare to travel on MRT to BL to do and present the EID project. Hey finally this project came to an end. I took some pics of the process where the group was working hard at it. (Pics to be included when uploaded). Just want to thank Eric, WH and Jo for all the time spent together doing the project. We've done it! Although not top 3 nor top 10 but it's the process. I'm just proud of how creative the team is, to come out with a prototype that is totally handmade (from the tanks to the tanker to the trees and of course to the ambiguous control tower). Well at least to recognize the efforts of A, the one who did less than he ought to, but thank you as well. Through this project I made friends like them. There's so much learning involved and it would all be so different if I had gotten an all local student team. Alright, the sacrifice was worth it. The travelling each day made me appreciate my hall more than ever.

Oh yes yes, SOT!!!!!!!! Ya SOT rocks. They were on the GOHS series so I had a full day of BS on Monday (never tried that before), and on Wednesday and Friday the students had practical sessions. It is like practical after theory so they had a chance to actually prophesy over the lives of others, and to pray for people's healing. YJ shared with me that his bro prophesied correctly over his life, while he also prophesied rather accurately on another member in his team. Yeah not to forget he received healing for his eyes so it was just wonderful. (: Glory to God. SH got prayed for and that morning her voice just changed to become so sexy. Yeah she was having a sore throat I meant. But as the day ended her voice became okay. OKAY!! Tremendous experience and exposure. I'm glad I caught something out of the few days. If not for Dot I wouldn't be there (because she wanted to go). If not for SH who e-mailed Ps. Bobby I wouldn't be there (so that I would not be considered an illegal student). If not for KH's final approval I wouldn't be there (thanks a lot!). If not for God I wouldn't be there to catch the vision that He has imprinted in my heart. Divine planning.

Ending it off with this song where I love the chorus - "I just want You Jesus. I just want You my Lord." It is He who gives authority from heaven so that we receive it on earth. Rise up! Working towards the goal of being 2IC... <3

Birthday season

Thursday, April 10, 2008

My right eye is still swollen, oh darn. 2nd day, going on to the 3rd day soon. Perhaps the sleeping hours got to increase. Anyway roomie suggested getting a cake cos I didn't know what to get. So I went to get a slice for J who's celebrating his birthday today, 10/4. Put it in WQ's fridge so that it will still be fresh till today. Guess what... He returned home in the evening. I almost fainted. Boohoo. No more surprise nor anything...

 

HAPPY 22nd JASON! It's been a good year in the same hall cum block (: And being so ever-friendly to offer printing services using your roomie's printer, haha... This cake is for you! (but it ended up in my stomach for some good reasons...)

Had a lunch gathering with the t-t girls after an unsuccessful one last Thurs due to the stormy weather. At first we wanted to try CP but it was absurd to wait for 30 minutes when our stomachs were all growling madly. SW was even worse - never-ending queue. And OCK finally opened! Anyway, we ended up trying out the Western cuisine at The Palette. Can't give very good ratings though the pricing is considered reasonable. Chicken was so-so, soup was rather alright, latte turned cold oops, and the worst was the potato wedges. SALTY to the max! Why am I always served salty food? It's the same story with M's fries. Subsequently when I eat in school, I never fail to order fries without salt. Still, I could spot the salt crystals on the "salt-less" fries. At least the salt content decreases by 70% compared to a normal packet. Thank God. Too much sodium is bad for the heart yea... My heart is working harder than my brain. Back to the topic... Lunch was great! A time of fellowship or better known as TCSS session. I mean I always get to see MQ, and another is my roomie. Just that L is usually less seen by me. Felt bad letting her wait for us three cos of the eating speed, heh. Never mind, she woke up late in the first place. Still I miss these girls. We got to hold such meetings more often!

Oh yea the birthday wish-list! It's like a birthday season this week so might as well mention what I hope to receive:

1. Digital camera - perhaps the Fuji F50fd
2. Mobile phone - a N6500 slide or what comes along the way
3. Slippers - Havaianas and/or from Ada's online shop
4. Wallet - not too fanciful
5. Bag - able to fit A4. Camel/black/red
6. Christian books - Max Lucardo's
7. Tigger toys are welcomed!

5 days to exams!

my future

Monday, April 7, 2008

It marks the official opening of 3 particular fast food chains at Pulau NTU, namely M(the red&yellow guy), S(emphasizes 6g of fat) and CP(2 for 1, isn't it familiar). As usual, the first day is always flooded with curious people who want to try out the food. Actually JP also has the same fast food. Now that we have them in school, that will mean a dip in business at JP. Aww so sad. Yingy, watergirl and I take no interest in joining the pioneer batch of customers and decided to go to another canteen for dinner. To my horror, the portion shrank. Skipping lunch ain't a good idea cos I usually end up eating more. >.< After which I ordered an ice-cream waffle and ate heartily till my stomach couldn't take it. So filling!

Anyway SH and I had a conversation after service yesterday. She's really easy to talk to, no matter on serious matter or merely crapping. Was telling her I'm really glad to be part of the CB family, my spiritual ground. If not for CB, I may have already backslidden, so you see, CB matters a lot to me. It's the place that taught me to not settle for anything mediocre for excellence pleases God. Coincidentally, this weekend's message was on "Thinking with excellence", which complements with our values. Moving onto my studies, like what is happening in my life... The choices that I need to make but have yet to decide where to go. For the past year, I've been thinking of what to major in, like Civil/Envir/Elec/Mech, of which I thought I wanted Envir at first. But after some time, Mech seems to overpower Envir cos it seems more general and job scope might be wider. The specialisations also look more interesting, because of the one on biomaterials. Also there was rumour on the very few number of vacancies left in Envir. After talking it through, I knew the answer wouldn't come out from her mouth. Then again, she told me to pray about it, which I felt was essential so that I could be led by the HS to make my choice. After much thoughts and a desperate prayer last afternoon, I feel more control over what's going on - a direction that I ought to move towards to.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING!

So be it!

So now I gotta work harder on my core subjects, and also the electives. Till then...
