1 week more

It's about one week to the big 'A's now. Time is really tight now. It's the final lap for us J2s, before we can play like never before. Yay!
On friday night, there was worship under the stars. I really didn't know about it until Alvin Toh told me that afternoon, and at that time, I was not too enthusiastic about going. But I thank God that Alvin waited for me and brought me there despite my excuses that I needed to study, because I was really blessed by the whole event. The worship was so wonderful, and I felt God ministering to me during the worship, and also later on during rededication when a brother prayed for me. I was only interupted when I had to go back to the hub to get my bag, because I kind of forgot to bring it with me, and they were going to lock the hub at 9. I believe that the Lord knew that I needed a break from studying, and so brought me there to worship Him that night. And thanks Alvin for bringing me there:)
Ok, umm that's all I have for now.

Weekend again

What a week. There was so much time wasted, and so much slacking. I'm in danger of thinking that i've finished studying for 'A' Levels. I found out yesterday from AJC prelims 2004 chem paper 3 that this was not the case. I've almost completely forgotten my food chem already. And my GP is really lacking. I promised myself that from now on, I will only use the internet on Sundays with the exception of school matters. I seriously need to be more focussed.

Had church this morning, and the topic for cell was the qualities that we would want to see in our future spouse. Yeng Wai urged us to be honest in our discussion, but we only were really honest after a while. It's just a guy thing, really. What we present as politically correct answers on this topic are not very true:P At the end of the discussion, Yeng Wai then summed up that we should look at the spiritual aspect of a relationship, as that is the most important part of who we should choose as our life partner. He shared from Proverbs 31:30, charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

I still haven't got my enlistment letter for NS yet. That is both good and bad. Good because I'll be free at the beginning of next year. Bad because it'll mean a later ORD. Oh well...

Rain, Rain Go Away

Its another rainy sunday afternoon, and I'm supposed to be working now, but I'm just getting a little tired and restless. I was working in my room just now but i couldn't stand the burning smell, and so went over to the study. No no, I'm not playing with fire again. The burning smell is because 2 wasps/bees flew into my room on wednesday morning while I was doing QT, and I couldn't be bothered to chase them out. As a result, they flew into the open lamp in my room, and got fried. They are still there now, probably well done, or even overcooked, and that is why the burning smell comes on whenever I switch on my lamp.

The memories of Baccalaureate are still fresh in my mind. It was one of the best chapels that I had ever seen in AC, and we sang my favourite song during worship. After the service, there was more photo taking than I had ever seen in my whole life. I wish I had brought my cam, but nevermind, I'll remember that for seniors night. The atmosphere then was simply overwhelming, and I'm really glad that I am part of AC class of 2005, a really special bunch of people.

After that, I managed to get permission from Mum (who reluctantly agreed) to go out with the class. Yupz, so we went bowling at Bt Panjang Plaza, with Kevin, Joan, Mari, Soon, Alvin Toh, Charmaine, Beck and Rus. It was my first time bowling in my whole life, and it is no wonder that my first ball went straight into the ditch. My second ball left 3 pins standing. Yay! By the next game, I was leading, second only to Rus, and Mari said that I cursed the opponents' lane to make the ball fall into the ditch...haha... And then, everyone suddenly made a comeback, which left me near the bottom again:P I really have a problem with bowling balls, because the 9 pound ball is light and easy to propogate, but it spins so much that it ends up in the ditch by the time it is halfway down the lane; while the 14 pound ball is so heavy that it hardly spins, but I just can't seem propogate it straight, resulting in it going into the ditch too. But I got a strike on the first time I went bowling. Yay! **clap**clap** After that, everyone went to Mari's house, while I had to go home cos Mum said so. -sigh- But then it's probably due to her that I actually find time to work.
At church this morning, the cell topic was on death, which is a little foreign to me. Uncle Peter was speaking at service today, which I really enjoyed listening to, and the sermon topic was false teachers and doctrine.
Ok I think I've written enough today. Tomorrow, I'm so going to go gym, because I'm getting fat, and I don't want to fail IPPT and SOC next year.

A packed and tiring week

I'm back home early today because I'm kind of tired. The last week has really been really taxing for me. I've been staying in school with my friends till about 9-10pm to study, and visiting the gym 2-3 times a week, and I am so totally worn out. The workload is kind of huge, and the time left to the A-levels is kind of short, and so the rest can be easily deduced. I noticed that the hub is rather crowded nowadays, especially when the J1s like to spend their break time between papers in the hub doing last minute revision.
I just visited the gym today, and I discovered to my horror that my 2.4 timing has risen to over 10+ minutes. This is given treadmill conditions, no air resistance, air con, and the TV, which by the way, had a really entertaining show on today called "return of the pink panther" or something like that. After that, I met Bryan in the hub, and that took me all the way to 8pm. Went home on 74 later with Owen and Shai. By the way, I appreciate the parents who so kindly cook dinner for us day after day, but I am seriously tired of pasta, friend rice, noodles, and the likes.
Oh yes, a special hello to Edwin, who, I recently found out, visits my blog. :D
