Joyful?! Or mixed feeling?

In a twinkling of an eye, it is already my fourth paper le. Feel a bit tired after the whole days of back to back event today. NEvertheless, i still feel joyful over the sign of care, concern and love that have been send to me during this examination period.

Sometimes, occasionally, one will feel lonely and alone in this world. However, it is particulary this period of time that i feel so loved by the kind of actions and words that was given in one way on the another. Oh yah, and i receive my goodie bag again. Rennie came all the way to the '"desserted Boon lay" area as coined by Yating to send me his blessings in a Nice cutey, teddy bear box. =P Well, the box of goodies is really totful and he has to travel all the way here,to boon lay just to leave it at my footsteps. It was really nice.

I also received a sms from Waileong to encourage me for my 2 papers on MOn. Well, it was really nice to hear from u after some time. Guess we both have been busy with our work and committment that it has not been some time since we have contacted one another. Anyway, u are still in my tots okay. Take care bro!!

Anyway, exams are going to be over soon, but that is not the end of a sem. It is the starting of more joyful learning and experiences. THis sem exams is really different. Everything feels so different. Tis hard to explain. But i do hope that i can see Yating doing well aso. Can feel and sense that she has been working hard and she has even given me some stratgies to study man!!! It was great advices, i would say. Hahah... i realise that i have to think more lah!! Something that i have been lacking.. =P

And poor wanzi fell down today. WHile walking to MPSH5, all of a sudden, *AIYO* and i saw a figure felling gently to the ground, just like it was in a "not-so-good actor acting it out" HOWever, it was not the case, she was actually bleeding from knee to toe.
MM.. okok.. knee and toe... it must have been quite painful. Luckily her FRIENDS was around and nice Junxiang went to take some first aid kit.
Hope u recover soon k...

Take care pple... Hope tat we continue to live out our interesting life, full with vigour!! =P Stay cool... =P

My first exam paper

Today is my first exam paper and it wasn't too easy but still i am grateful for my cell leader who came down early in the morning JUST to pray for me. Yating even commented that Rennie is really Sweet. Quite hard to find someone who would really go all the ways out to meet my felt needs and i always appreciate it lots whenever someone make the effort and do this kinda things for me. Thanks rennie, again for making the effort.

My life have been revolving around studying and preparation for thy exams. Sometimes i would feel a bit stressed, sometimes i would feel that i have not been preparing for it in a smart way. For e.g. after the discussion of the economic geography concepts with Wanzi, i came to realize that i have not tease out the main pts that were of fundamental importance to the lecture. Well, i could have done it earlier so as to make my preparation better. Still, thanks for sharing wanzi!!! =>

Meet Yating in the evening to study for my 2 papers on MON. Wah seh.. one at 1pm and the other at 5pm.. haha.. Brain is definitely going to overwork on this MON man. Not easy. Anyway, yating and i went to Paya lebar MAc after her volunteer work at 5pm. We realize that Macdonalds were too noisy and decided upon a better and quieter location like coffee bean.

Off we went there and i think that the air con was really strong and i didnt bring a jacket with me. THus Yating "convinced" me to study outside instead!! => It was getting late and at 7pm, the sky grew darker!!
I exclaimed!! How come so dark here and i turn my head to look at the interior of coffee bean. Wow!! Furnished with bright lights sia!!!! Bad choices, bad location.
However, we still manage to discuss three papers!! So after all, still quite okay.

Okay, going to mug for my 2 papers le. =P All the best to whoever is reading this blog!! =>

Graduation trip settled!

Graduation trip is finally settled, and can finally concentrate on my studies le. Looking forward to it. => Anyway, one of my friend says i have been stressing her because i keep asking her about how is her school work and stuff.. Gee.. OOps. Didnt mean to stress u out. Was just concerned. Okok. Will take note not to ask too often.. haha

It seems that there are many things in life that is worth learning, yet it is hard to do everything when there isn't any focus. So right now, for me, just have to concentrate on my studies and do things right.

Seems to be learning new stuff from this sem's experiences. I think i am the kind of person that tries not to get involve in possible conflicts or argument. Do u all agree? Think perhaps i got to adjust my mindset a bit and learn not to be too passive but instead to be assertive, and stand up for my rights or people's rights when situation arise.

On a lighter note, went back to school to hand in project today and i ran up and down 4th, 5th and 6th storey aEconomics department a few times in order to find my tutor pigeon hole.. Hahah..and there was this lecturer who must have be thinking i am exercising by walking up and down the staits. Firstly i saw him at the 4th storey talking to his friend. 2mins later i saw him at level 6th storey as he was going back to his office, and after i ran down and up the stairs again, he was out of his office and i i was in his line of his sight again. WAH SEH!! i went up and down the stairs lo!! WOnder how come the Pigeon hole so hard to find sia!! So frustrating.

Anyway... to all who are still studying... Study hard, stay focus and best of luck for the exams.. To those who are working. It has been a long time since we meet up. Lets meet up soon after the exam ok? Take care!! C ya all soon.

Do Big things-- remember small promises first.

When was the last time u makes a small promise to somebody?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A promise is a transaction between two persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service or gift to the second person or devotes something valuable now and here to his use.

Are u thinking of doing big things, then take note of the micro (small) things in life. It has come to my attention that in order to be a better person, one has to be true to his/her words. No double-mindedness. This can be hard no doubt for people like me who sometimes ponder between alternating decisions.

Well, the aim here is to stay focus in the things that you are doing. Would u want to achieve big things in life? Would you like to be a better friend? Start fulfilling the smaller promises that u have make to your friends and bigger things will follow. It helps in the prevention of disappointment and in turn help to build greater trust and respect.

Qinlong is still doing his best, if there is an area that I am not doing well, pls, gently remind him and he will do to his best of his ability. Thanks pple. =>

Counting my blessings

Choir and words of encouragement

Went for the choir worship in church too and I agree with Kenny that it is really challenging. (http://kennygoh.blogspot.com/) Long time never have had such experiences and I remember that the last time I feel this way was during BMT. (Basic military experiences) That was when, all of us were in the knock-it down position (push up) and were ask to constantly do push up and hold it there. Whereby if someone drop down because cannot "tahan", the whole process of endurance would have to be restart again. The purpose and aim of which is to allow us to build up team spirit and a culture of endurance.

Now, the aim differs, we are worshipping our lord, and it is a really wholesome experience though it is not easy. I give glory to the lord. Gee.. So is there anybody who is considering to come and support me for this few weeks? I will be the choir team on stage in expo. Contact me!! IF u are interested. =P

I know that there are a lot of disappointment and discouragement in life. However, lets hang on there pple.

Whenever someone disappoint u, remember, at least u still have friends in Ur midst. Whenever trouble seems too much to take, remember we have overcome many difficulties to be here today
Whenever you feel like giving up, tell yourself u can do it.
Whenever you feel upset and lonely, tell yourself, life is more than about urself.
Whenever there is a struggle, committed yourself to God.
God will always be there for you when u have troubles. I remember the phrase in the bible that says, he will not give u more than we can take.

Dear friends,
Lets encourage one another and show our support in times of needs!! Take care everyone.
