Week 2 of school is over! :) I made friends with my desk partner, (we were in the same class last year though, but we never really said anything to each other, that's because) she's quieter than me. :D There's a lot of homework, but still, weekends are really here. :)
This week was rather fruitful and well-spent! On Tuesday, my cell had a cell outing with everyone present. :D On Wednesday, me, Jane, Liz and Louisa had fun at Kallang. (: On Thursday, me, Louisa and Lisa did the biotech competition project report at Lisa's house and got to eat lots of good food. :D On Friday, back at Lisa's house, had more fun and finally finished our 11 over pages report. (:
I am looking forward to spending countless times in the company of my friends in church on Sunday. Although next week will be the last week of the holidays, I am quite excited because of the One Love Conference. (:
Ever since I moved into Bishan and took the house out of the packed boxes two weeks ago, I realised one will never get much of a chance to walk on an empty pavement or pathway. Everywhere you look, there are people travelling to and fro. Last time, at pavements and pathways around parts of Braddell, there will always be empty and silent most of the time. There was always a chance to sing a song while walking along the path :D Now at Bishan, I can't really do that. I think I really miss the sound of crickets at night and the chirps of birds in the morning. At Bishan, the road is very much alive. The sounds created by a lorry, car, motorcycle and bus driving by is distinctly different. Still, I thank God for this new home. It's like a new beginning and environment, a place that is much more convenient to get around. One day, I will discover the silent and empty pavements and pathways of Bishan. Then, I will lift my praises to Him once again :D
I took the untaken road and now I am back, it was fun. but hard to live by while coughing and coughing non-stop. even harder to survive while feeling very blind and watching the blurred trees go by. In the blink of my eye, four days are gone, ROCs 2 is over, and now back in Singapore again! I can't wait for tomorrow :D
God answered the prayer in my heart! In the morning, He gave me an opportunity to learn how to dance! (: In the afternoon, He gave me courage to sing with the choir :D I feel very blessed today!
A few weeks ago on a Tuesday night, I heard a song. But right after I stepped out of church, I lost the tune. I really wanted to hear it again. Today, I heard it! I really want to know the lyrics, and I really hope that one day I will get to sing it in church again.
There's Jap CA2 tomorrow and it was really frustrating to study for it. I am looking forward to Tuesday night again!
Yesterday, through Sarah's teaching, I learnt alot! I am dead without Jesus, but because He died, I have life! He didn't mend or replace bits of my old black heart, He swapped his heart with mine! and now I have a God-swapped heart in me :D
Today, just as I was about to leave Blk 3, I caught someone's smile and it was a really impactful smile (:
7 long years ago, I lost it as a child. 7 years later, I feel the full impact of losing it. For 7 years, I have been oblivious to it until suddenly one day, I knew I didn't have it, and when I had it, I was too young to cherish it. It practically haunts my living moments and surrounds my mind. Its like a hole, getting bigger and bigger and one day the insecurity might just swallow me up.
This week was hectic! Tuesday was the home econs practical test! (: and that Tuesday night was the 1st time I received so many warm hugs in my life :D Wednesday night, I went to Alice's symphony band concert at the Esplanade :D I enjoyed netball on Thursday! God was GOOD TO ME :D
And so I was in the company of Elissa and Rebecca doing homework and talking, then we went for 3rd service and Sarah was leading worship today :D And worship was great; it was freezing cold during sermon :P It was hard to concentrate! Then I ate lunch at Blk 3 with Rebecca and we went back to church and did our homework and studied while listening to christian songs. And we talked alot (: It was a quiet, relaxed and peaceful afternoon sitting in the canteen.
I really like going to church because its a place unlike any other!
And now its another week in school, I dread it so much. I know I must survive till Thursday night!
Even the sweetest and cutest things can make one cry (: This video is a very sweet reminder! Its the most touching video compared to all the other videos in the veggietales series! :D
The best part of running 3.3km is running with the Lord's music in your heart! Having a rhythm keeps you going and running (: Now running is such a joy! I am so glad that I got top 20-something position, although its not good enough to win a medal yet.
Everyday is not okay whenever you're there. So how do I tell you what I really think of you?
Now that CTs are over, (: life is slightly more relaxing ;D Cross-country, march holidays and James 1:27 are coming up! Another week of school to conquer before officially marking the end of term 1 :D
EXAMS ARE OVER and I got back some results! Not that that good, but still quite ok :D The results that I am most satisfied with is history! Usually, it is my worst subject, but this time, it's much better (; I'm looking forward to Cross-country! I think I will start "training" for it :D
Tuesday night was quite (: It was great! Every prayer meet is like no other.
