I survived today!

Today was such a mad rush :P Here there, we're practically everywhere, trying to get homework ready and all. We also had the teachers day celebration during assembly. Quite cool but I thought we should be performing for the teachers and not the other way round? oh well it was great :) Resonance did it again :')
I really do wish I could have my own band one day. With the instruments and all. But I should stop thinking at this point :P  heh. We also had class party today :)) Strangely, there was a lack of chips! I expected everyone to bring chips but I guess everybody else thought the same. The awfully chocolate cake was awesome :) And Ms Lee's cupcake too! Yum yum.
And I think Ms Lau liked the shirt! I've never seen her smile so widely before :)

Tomorrow is the Amath block test. The big day. Months of tution all boils down to this day. haha. PLEASEEE let me be let careless and let me PASS! (IF POSSIBLE, WITH FLYING COLOURS) hehe.

OK, should go to prepare the teachers day gifts and study now :)

School tomorrow...
After a seemingly short break, school is gonna start again tomorrow. 3 days isn't that much really. I realised I've left a load of stuff to do at the last minute again :(

On the bright side, MUM BOOKED THE AIR TICKETS TO ADELAIDE!!!!!!!!!! Finally, after 5 years... But we're not spending a day at Syndey anymore. Instead, we are transiting at Perth during the return trip. Still its gonna be an awesome trip! Gonna buy lotsa sweet treats and chocolates back for the FLL peeps if we're really visiting Melbas. WHOOTS :))

Anyway, had a really awesome and scruptious lunch today, there was assam fish head, oatmeal squid, vegetables, mushroom in oyster sauce :)) Mmm..

I should probably go back to preparing for tomorrows school.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121 : 1-2

OHHH..no words can convey my excitement for my trip to Australia :D We may visit melbas again and I'll be sure to bring back lots of goodies for the FLL peeps and all those helping out, and we'll visit kangaroo island, glenelg, eat fish and chips, go to wild life parks, play with aren and camp out in Aryees backyard! And I just can't wait to see aryee and family again :DD The flight is not booked yet tho heh. Should be doing so over the next few days!
And we are still considering if we are gonna stop over at sydney for 1 day :) If the flights permit, so we don't have to pay for accomodations :P

Cold day.

Its rare that its cold in Singapore. But I love it :)) Wish it would stay like this forever.

Anyway, I watched HOP on miotv today. I'm suddenly inspired to learn drums. Maybe after Os. Then, I would also want to set up a band, just for fun. I'll have a drummer, a guitarist, a lead vocalist and maybe someone who just helps out with many things :) Still, its all on studies for now.

Its almost the EOYs and as I've said, its probably wiser to concentrate on studies for now. But I don't deny that theres something greatly bothering me. I don't want to bother anyone else with this worry but its kinda important. To me at least. Hm...what do I do? I'm not if this is acting on the good of all but..uhh..dilemma again. I really don't want to bring it up but I'm going to regret it.. this is soooo hard...honestly, when I am  committed to something. I give it 101%. Or at least I try to. and..its so hard even to type! How to put it into words and tell someone..I'm gonna say the wrong things again. This feels wierd, I've never ranted to a blog before. haha.
But stilllllllll......I need to be reassured! I'm not going to put in all my effort and. Isn't it obvious what she wants? Won't it be so much easier..both sides would be happy. But we never know. Its especially important this year..it need to be right.  I'm never been the authoritative kind. I really don't think this is going to work. I reassure others but I can't reassure myself. I just let it go the last time, without protest. Or maybe just a little. It went fine..but I am I seeking more than just fine?
But I'm not in the position to judge. K I'm done. I think I'll just wait and see what happens. I'll just hand it over to the Lord. I really hope I can use this quote to remind myself to leave things to stop worrying. :P

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34

Short Holiday(study break)

Due to presidential elections and the Hari Raya Break, we will be having a 5-day holiday from school(sadly,including weekend) I really do hope I can use it wisely :P
Anyway, I got a real big shock when I woke up today. I heard some noise from outside the room so I thought it was still early and jie was still at home. So I slept on. After a while, I checked my phone -- 10.41 am. I practically jumped out from bed and ran outside. mama was like "eh你还在家？哈哈" :D

Nothing much today, just went out for a short while to get stationary and assesment book. And bought lunch -- special chili crab subway meal. Makes me feel like such a spendthrift :/

My phone sure brought me a lot of surprises today. When I checked it just before going out, it said "Ask mama if she wants to go to Aryees place from 26/11 to 3/12. I stoned for a while and nearly burst with happiness inside. But I cannot get happy too early, it is still not confirmed but oh well :))) ADELAIDE <3  We are still not sure if we are going to transit though..

I think I need to get to writing my essay now..probably nothing much is going to happen over the next few days but I never know. Surprises may still happen. Fingers crossed :)

Today was quite an awesome day :) Mostly humance lessons. And for a-math, I could do the questions my teacher set us! Thats an achievement already. hehe. I well still need to keep practicing though, math is really one big obstacle I must overcome.

From the title, its cca day today :D I really love my CCA :') I guess its a complete contrast from how things were in secondary one. This is probably the only thing in sec 3 that is better than in Secondary one. :P But I believe I went through gym for a reason. Like I mentioned in the post yesterday, some blessings are in disguise and this is one of them. As for robotics, it is the blessing that came a little bit later :)

During CCA today, I talked to Mingxuan, Carmen and  Sujin about my dream career. Hehe. I really should concentrate on EOYs and then O levels now till end of next year but I really can't help thinking about it :P I would really like to go to a University in Australia to pursue the area of culinary arts...But oh well, for now, its back to math, science and humanities.

Terracotta warriors and mundane school life.

Just came back from the Ancient civilisations museum. It was part of our "Mother tongue fortnight" programme to view the terracotta warriors exhibition. IT was cool but it would have been better if we did not have that little time.I kinda liked the atmosphere of the museum. All dark and grand at the same time. Reminds me of night at the museum movie :))
I think I was like a lost sheep most of the time. There were just too many people. I feel kinda bad for the tourists :S Then I saw a mother trying to explain to a 4-5 year old kid about the unification of China, I couldn't really tell if the kid was looking awed or confused . heh :)

School was honestly quite boring today. Nothing much really happened. Lots of food sales going on in the canteen though, by 1SE, debate, PSG etc. Bought some fruit salad from debate and tried fresh blueberries for the first time :P Also got to try some of their apricot muffins, Which were really quite good :D
We also got our EOY exam timetable today. How depressing. But at least its easier to draw out and conduct the study plans with a proper timetable.

Despite it being a really ordinary,mundane day, I realised something big today --  how we often forget to count our blessings.I can list 1001 instances which I forget to count my blessings.  If  are having lots of good things, we are blessed with them. IF we don't have some things, its probably not because of bad luck. Its just that the blessings come later, or maybe they have come in another form, another way.

                                         "...We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
                                                And all the while, You hear each spoken need
                                             Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things..."

Monday..

So today I had Chem SPA on the first lesson.It was okay I guess but I was rather clumsy. Hope the examiners didn't see that :P I got back my my SS block test. I didn't do as well as I expected or wanted.
:((  Humance is my strong point...And after recess we got back our E-math paper. Totally felt like crying T.T :((( It was worse than I thought. As if the questions I did not know how to do was not bad enough, the careless mistakes and presentation mistakes made it far worse. I feel so sorry towards my parents, myself and my math teacher :(  Although she is fierce and scary and I'm kinda scared of her, I still like her as my teacher. :((
Looks like I have to put aside all my distractions now. No more clay after my last tutorial this weekend :( Youtube will have to wait as well. TIme to get studying.
But today was really tiring although it was only the first day of the week. But oh well I survived. I think I be doing math late late into the night from tonight on..
But still, this song never fails to comfort. :')

"For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
Psalm 100:4-5

Past week + yesterday :))

The week that just passed was heath week. Largely, it was a good week. Except maybe for the bio test and the Emath test :P But it was really an amazing week. Last Sunday was my 15th Birthday. I hope I grew inside and not just in terms of age. Rosemary planned a day at Playnation for my birthday. I really appreciate that, even though the others could not make it, it was still a fun day. The surprise came when Carmen came. Not that I was surprised that someone else was coming, I already kind suspected it..somehow. Haha. :) But still its really nice of Carmen to come :) Playnation is basically a cafe where you pay for a package and you play 4 hours of board games or console games with a free flow of drinks. Rosemary bought us nacho cheese fries and calamari rings too :))

On wednesday, we had the interclass health week activity. I was in the soccor team which turned out to really be a futsal team. :P But it was awesome fun! 3GR managed to get third!! I think. Yep! But I think we really were awesome heh. Its kinda my first time playing soccer (or a soccer like game) as far as I remember, unless you count last year's inter-cca water soccer. Which was fun too.

And on Friday afternoon, we had our inter-cca captains ball. Infocomm played  against the other clubs and societies though not all.   We won every single game we played though :) Debate won the first one but for some reason it wasnt considered :/   But it was a close fight. All the other CCAs played awesome too! :) Theres no word to describe the final match. EPIC. maybe :D heeh. All the other ccas were watching and OHH it was really  awesome fun :)) The chess players were really good sports too! They played really really well too! :) A friendly game is always the best :) Good game everyone!

And on Saturday afternoon, I went to CG at church. We played a game which was quite amusing and then did sharing. I realise I'm a leeetle more open in sharing now..in a way.

And after that, I met Yuting at TP MRT station and we went to ION orchard Daiso. Did not get what I was looking for :(( But I got a display shelf for my rements and some boxes to organise my craft stuffs and keep them away by tomorrow so I will not be distracted from my studies ;P Then, I stated to take a real long time and we were late by 7 minutes. But when we got to Orchard Cini, there was no one there  XP. hehe. Finally, Rosemary, Xinying came, followed by Jodie. Then, we walked in the rain and rushed into raindrops cafe. How ironic :D However, because we did not have a reservation and it was raining outside, we had to look for someplace else to eat. And then Carmen and jiun ning came :)) We walked about Orchard Cini for a white and everywhere was packed. So we everntually settled down at A.venue cafe. It was a cosy cafe with good food. I guess it was resonably priced for a posh cafe. After we ate, a surprise came. The friendly staff sang happy birthday and brought in an oreo cheesecake, which I think Rosemary bought :) Then even made us a little snowman out of ice cream. :))

Yep. So yesterday was a really awesome day. And on the whole, I was a good week. Thank God for giving me such awesome friends and for bringing me through the week -- exciting yet nevertheless slightly tiring :)

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever.
 Psalm 136:1-3

Blogging again..

As from the title, I'm blogging again, after stopping for more than a year. I know the end year exams are coming and this probably seems like a waste of time but I think it helps me keep a clear mind and kinda place everything down. But this time I guess it will be different. I'm actually, in a way, inspired by a friend to do this but it will not be exactly the same as hers. Its probably hard to understand what I'm saying now..but thats not that important.

I think in this year, I've really started to see God more and more in my life. Even in the smallest things. I remember how my Aunt May gave me a book before she left for Adelaide called "God is in the Small Stuff for Kids". Its still meaningful when I read it now, even if it is a children's book.

For a start, today's Sunday school, we had a new teacher. She's really nice and patient :)) We'll be learning about the book of Romans this term, based on the text called "How to be a Christian without being religeous", I think I might want to look for the book and purchase it. I was understudy for soundwoman today :) I'm quite glad I can serve in another way during service in future. Hopefully I will successfully learn the skill though. :P

There's not that much homework this weekend. Or maybe I just forgot..hmm..But I'll probably be tidying up my workspace and room to prepare the place to be "conducive" for studying. My results have not been too good and its high time to get studying. I'm really worried for my E-math results especially. I will also have to revise for 'O' level chemistry SPA tomorrow. Can't believe its the actually thing already.

So thats probably it for today. But I think I'll talk about yesterday or in fact the past week then. A long time away from blogging make me want to blog more. Its such a long post so I think I'll make it a separate post :P
