Time really passes quickly! I am already back from Adelaide. It was a wonderful and restful trip.
Things weren't how I imagined them. It was better :) I shall post a separate post about my trip.

Its almost the last week of the holidays yet I haven't completed my homework T.T Too busy with many many stuffs.
YM camp H2O was really enjoyable and it was really a great experience working with the camp comm. Thank God for giving me this chance to serve him through the camp :)

However, I do feel slightly burdened by a certain thought.
 I think I have been spending much time with older people, more understanding people that my view of things have really changed. I can't seem to be able to connect with people of my age group in school that well anymore.(not saying that I am matured or anything) I am definitely in NO position to judge but I really can't seem to understand why they do certain things.
Makes me really want not to go to school next year :P


For the 100th time, I think Infocomm deserves more respect. Simple as that. There is absolutely no reason why we are less superior then other CCAs. We are not a "dumping ground" for all the students who have failed the auditions for other CCAs. Neither are we a "nerd CCA". These are actual quotes that people have said about our CCA.  In actual fact, Infocomm takes in people who are passionate and love what they do. Without photographers, the only existing photos will be "ZI PAIed" photos. Disney and Pixar animators had to start small. And robotics, no bias here. But 6 consecutive years of championship is nothing to cough/sneeze at.
Anyway, the competition we join, FLL, requires the dicipline , alertness and coordination, as well as teamwork of sportspeople, fluency and passion of speech and delivery.
Robotics is a seriously underrated CCA.

Secondly, there are people who do things that are just wrong and disrespectful to themselves/their school and its just akoejkfo!!! Its not cool, its wrong and strange :/

Homework and study is not helping with Os coming next year. :P

However hard next year may seem, God will bring us through. Jia yous sec 4s of 2012!

3 more days to Adelaide!!

The trip is so close yet it seems so far but days are zooming past for me! That maybe doesn't make sense but oh well.
CCA has been keeping me mightly busy, taking up 3/4 of my day. I really need more self control to do my homework instead of crafting when I get home. But usually when I get back, I feel so tired and lazy that that is hardly possible.

Anyway, this week has been quite a turbulent week. Won't go into details now since I'll be heading for school soon. CCA starts only in an hour's time but I wanna get there early to settle my stuff and have some time left over to clean up the store room. Its driving me mad. (and its me I'm talking about here so thats saying somethingXD )

Back to the point, honestly, I don't think I am really as happy as I look in school sometimes. I try to be though. But when you try to be happy when you aren't completely and you overdo it, it tends to come out looking wierd and crazy.Like, suddenly skipping in the midst of walking hahahhaha. This sounds quite funny. No seriously, this isn't some emo post or rant, its just that sometimes there really are things that are bothering me that people in school either don't see or see just on the surface. So forgive the wierdness.

Back to happy things, I have won 2 clay contests on youtube and I'm awaiting my packages :)) And another squishy package which I ordered myself and intend to put it on sale. So many exciting things happening! Homework is such a party-pooper hahahahhaa XD.

Okay okay, its time to go if I want to have enough time to clean up.

CCA tomorrow

The weather is great now :) and its 13 days to the adelaide trip. :D:D

I am really glad that Chinese Os are over. Thank God.

This week is packed. Seriously packed. In fact, my holiday is packed. Theres CCA tomorrow but most of the sec threes are not there. But we're getting the play field tomorrow ! So exciting! But I doubt Laoshi will let us build the playfield since we  are not in "our" room. Rawr, don't really like being in the library for long hours :( So little freedom. And you can't adjust the aircon.
Wednesday to Friday will be my pushcart course. I am quite excited but also a bit apprehensive since I am the only sec 3 there T.T 

First week of extended cirriculum is over! It was long and hard but its over! Thank God! Yesterday and Thursday were particulary hard because not only were the days long but I had to bear with my runny nose. It started on Thursday and then on Friday I was debating to myself on whether or not to go to school cause I started to get a headache along with the runny nose. After a long time, I packed 5 packets of tissue, a large bottle of vapourrub, strepsil and my jacket and went to school anyway. In the end, I had to get 2 more packs of tissue. By the last lesson, I felt like just falling asleep on the table :P Then towards the night I think I must have gotten a slight fever or something cause my head and body felt warm but my legs felt cold. So I just slept real early. Much better this morning but i think my voice still sounds a bit funny.

Extended Cirriculum

So..while everyone else is on holiday, probably sleeping at this time now, I'm going to school soon. For extra lessons. Each 1h30min long. And school ends later than usual. I guess it helps in the long run, and I really appreciate the teachers efforts to come back to conduct lessons but I think they've put too much in one day. We have O level Chinese next week. I can't really speak for the other students but personally, adding CCA, I am just too exhausted, mentally and physically to do any studying..

I've been more worried about FLL than I should. I just want it so much more, after last year. I really want to experience it. Winning really isn't everything but I can't deny it isn't important XD In any case, FLL is really fun and I'm sure this year will be too. :)

God's perfect Plans

All that ranting aside, we learnt in Sunday school today that all things happened for a reason, that it is all scripted out perfectly by God, just that we can't see the script, or how perfect and well planned the script is. That even when we go through bad things, they happen for a reason. Although I did not share today, I had too many experiences that truly shows this. The main ones being

1) Gym. I had completely no idea how I got assigned into gym but I felt like I had to try it out. Though it was pretty much 1 year and 2 months of physical (i'm not a sports person), mental and emotional torture (hmm..maybe thats a little exaggerated but oh well), it taught me perserverance, tolerance, patients, reaching my limits and people-people relations.?? Also, since I missed the infocomm auditions when i went for dance, I would not have been in such a great CCA now if not for gym. Not saying gym isn't great, I suppose it has its plus points.

2) FLL 2010 It was really a struggle for me, but through this, I learnt to be a better leader and friend and that theres so much more to just winning. A little surprise then came to me in July...

So yep, no matter how bad things seem, God is always there to support you and you can be sure He has already planned things out perfectly. :)

"...And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

Its raining really heavily now..Hope it becomes slighly less heavy so that I can go out without getting drenched. :P Its special CG today. I think I'm slacking big time now. Ms Lau says its time to work hard again. I think she's leaving next year. I would say she is the most special teacher I've had so far. So strict, so fierce and well, frank, but I still really like her as my teacher. I really hope I left a good impression of myself on her?

I'm gonna to a Testimony tomorrow at YM service. I'm really really scared. No wait, nervous is a better word? But I guess if God had somehow allowed me to go on stage in front of the whole level to deliver a really short speech as a "delegate of Turkey", I should be able to do this. :)

Business has been good :) Many orders for the whipped cream ring, which I am wearing now :)
K, I shall go now, want to buy a drink before going to CG.
