3 months holidays just zoomed past like tt, faster than I imagine.
This holidays, I did 2 special semesters, studied 2 very interesting subjects on property management and names. Am blessed with good tutors and frens who did the modules tgt with me, family, boyfren and frens who are supportive of what I am doing.
Though there are things ard sch tt I dont like, like how they raise our sch fees and spent it not on building amenities that would benefit the large student population, but on exception groups of students and wasting money on random stuff like planting random grass and seedlings around the campus. Still, I consider myself blessed to be able to enter into university and pursue a degree. To be able to enjoy student privilege, a chance to stay in hall, to meet bunch of amazing frens, a loving boyfren, library which I could have access to journals and books, cheap canteen food, good tutors whom I could approach,a chance to study a subject I was not familiar with and open my horizon to the world around me, a chance to learn about independence, learning to juggle my time to excel in my studies as well as toserve the Lord etc. etc.
This Friday, I would know God's plan for me for the next 1 year. Whether I would stay in NUS for another year for my honours or whether I would be going for contract teaching while waiting for my next NIE intake. To say that I am not anxious at all would be false. Yet, I started on this risky journey placing my faith in the Lord. I trust tt if it is His will for me to go through the special semesters in order to achieve my honours, He will open the ways for me. Indeed he opened the way for me at MOE side in deferring my NIE so I could complete my special sem 2 module. And also NUS side so I could do this module in replacement of a 3000 module which I had no options to choose from. Last lap, no reason why I should not trust in Him, knowing He is in control over every aspect of my life.. So when friday come, I only ask and pray for peace and trust. And whatever the result might be, I will accept the decision, and embrace the next season in my life..
Went for 4 overseas trip, all to Malaysia! haha.
1st with my awesome hall frens to tioman. They never fail to make me laugh and be comfortable. That was when zicheng officially asked me to be his gf too.
2nd was with church to JB for higher conference! The encounter with holy spirit at pastor Kong session was truly a life changing experience (:
3rd was with my parents to JB for a day trip, tgt with zc who met my parents for the 1st time. The session was quite funny, cos zc was so nervous throughout. But it turned out great! (:
4th was kukup with zicheng's sec sch clique, STWC! I enjoyed their company. Simple and fun bunch of people.
Zicheng came over my place to celebrate tao tao's 2nd year bday tgt with my family! So he has met everybody except Gundy who was acty the most enthu amongst them in meeting zc. haha! My dear nephew is so adorable and excited at all the new toys and gifts! Truly the doted one in the family.
Met up with frens, some really special ones tt I have not met in a long time, like flora, charlene and jody. God presenting me opportunities to reach out to those who are struggling with their spiritual walk and introducing them back to His love.
Started to go visitation to the children's church's children home. It was an eyeopener and a learning exp for me. I am truly blessed to be born into a complete and relatively well to do family. Yet, regardless of our backgrd, God's love is freely poured out to ALL. We are all equal in His eyes.
Signed up for ministry.. Tuition and CHCSA. zicheng was right, settling for a ministry is not as easy as just according to ur interest. I need to pray and seek deeper.. will I question myself next time, why I am giving tuition to kids free, when I could easily earn much more as a full time tutor. Why am I sacrificing my time teaching these kids. Will I find no more interest and nth to learn from it anymore next time? Will I be too tired to teach extra few hours after a full day of teaching? God, please help me answer my doubts and allow me to go into a ministry according to what u place in my heart..
Ending my 12 lessons of kickboxing tomorrow! The experience has been nothing but fantastic. I often get so tired by the kick and punches. But would pushed myself a lil more, just to enjoy the feeling of fulfillment in being fit and healthy. Aches all over my body, but satisfied nonetheless. visit ACTIVERED if u wanna try kickboxing! haha! not paid to do publicity for them but I really liked their genuineness in introducing the sports to us. And the instructors are really friendly, genuine and great in their service. They dont force us to sign up for courses but it's really up to our free will according to our satisfaction with their service. On the contrary, I was invited to True Yoga for a trial lesson and the experience was so different. I was so super turned off. They give us trial class just to hard sell the membership to us like MLM. They asked for my IC for registration and I forgot to take back from them at the end. I tried to get back the following days and it felt like they were detaining my IC just to get me to go for more trial lessons and kept asking me to introduce new names to them if I am satisfied with their service (which I am not). I was ready to contact ICA if they dun return me my IC. I finally managed to get back my IC and left immediately, with the woman bugging me to give her some names.. I have enough bad experience with MLM!
Tidied my room, though not completed. and also shifted my stuff back to hall! helped zicheng too. Looking forward to a good year of studying in hall! Discipline and focused life for Jesus, to live an EXTRAORDINARY life for Him! Though part of me dread going back hall, cos I have made myself so comfortable at home the past 3 months. And built a better rs with my family members. Just hope that things wont change once I move back..
Just 2 days ago, celebrated zicheng's 24th bday tgt with him. Planned 2 surprise + 4 gifts for him. baked cake and did a scrapebook for him containing all his loved ones' msges. On his bday eve, we went to eat at kilo at kampong bugis, with car breaking down. haha! these kinds of things always happen to us, getting chased out of USS, kena chased out of hall, stucked in hospital at Vietnam bla bla! Thankfully we asked passerby if they had jumplead and managed to find someone who had it. They helped us jumplead our car and we were soooo soooo blessed to be able to still travel for supper and to waterfront park for a nice scenery before sending him and myself home. The next day, the car couldnt even start at all, not even the aircon and music. The nissan man came to changed our batt. Zicheng and I could only just kept thanking God on how blessed we were the night before, that the car lasted us for the night and we were not stuck in random places, having to ask someone to tow our car away. And the car only broke down back at my home. On his actual day, we went to the zoo where we had so much fun! We felt like sch girl and boy all over again! Then had dinner with his parents at jurong point, before showing him the scrapebook. Nights of lil sleep was worth it to see him so happy and touched by it (: Happy 24th dear! To make up for ur 2 years in rag and not celebrating ur bday! Thank you for being the love of my life, for loving me, for ALWAYS being there and standing in the gap for me. Looking forward to a lifetime spent with u! (:
Today went for rag, shouted only for a while for TH and my throat hurts now! haha! Happy that TH gets to perform at Chingay tgt w eusoff next yr. The float was really pretty! And was great catching up w qi, su, dom and kar. qiqi was so sweet to accompany me for dinner at Bedok! (: Saw Claire Neo too! and biz performance was great! well done dear! Really hope we will get to see more of each other!
3 months flew past just like tt. Only regret I didnt have time to go visit kids back at COSI, or visit the kids in Thailand. But it had been a fulfiling holiday! 1 more day to sch start, 2 more days to my results! praying for the best and trusting in the Lord! Amen!
