school and other stuff...
it has been a rather hectic past two weeks, what with meeting up with international students and getting into the momentum of starting school all over again after that wonderful 3 month break. oh well, what to do? once again thrown into the motion of things- planning timetable, choosing modules, musing over what has gone and getting over it, being stressed over science mods ( foundations of engineering and transportation in singapore =x) + queuing at the co-op to buy textbooks ( of which two cost 80 bucks?! ) + meeting new people ( in classes and in vcf) and generally just being forced into the whole 'system' of business and hustle. now i know how people suffer from burn-out. haa. personally, i think it's not really the studying per say, but more of the stress generated by trying to fit in; or rather catch up with the rest of the crowd- trying to be first in queue to buy books , trying to borrow that reference book before others get it so that one will have a so-called 'advantage', trying to find the best combination of modules to take to get the optimum CAP to do honours, RANKING! , the bell curve where every tries to squeeze into the top part of it. argh! all these are sufficiently enought to drain one for the rest of the semester, trust me. the queue at the co-op says it all. haa~
anyways, i've been trying to adjust a fair bit as well- with my 5 day school week.arghhhhh! it's perhaps poor timetable planning on my part; but then again, I really wanna take my medical sw mod, and am insistent on finishing up my required modules for attachment by this sem, so , i guess there's not much choice. hopefully it'll make me more dilligent in doing my readings and stuff. hopefully. =P
was pretty stressed last week over something in cf, which pretty much attributed to my lousy mood ( sorry pechies! =P) can't really talk much about it here, cause it's pretty sensitive . moreover, what i may say might be too one-sided and egoistical and really not very edifying; so i shall not elaborate. was bascically just frustrated. sadly, i haven't really been able to talk about this issue with the rest of the comm, much less my head. still a little peeved by what happened, but will probably get talking to him soon cause i must admit, i am being rather petty and immature about it by sort of avoiding him-esp since we are all in cf and in the body of Christ. yea, anyway, talking about cf, glad that quite a number of freshies came over for welcome tea despite the fact that it was a lecture week. it's really encouraging to see so many like-minded people on campus. =)
was rather happy yesterday! i am finally able to do more for music min!! yoohoo! been wanting to do it for a while, just waiting for an opportunity; and I was glad that God really answered my prayers and opened a door for me. Praise the Lord! am excited about the changes with the ministry and all.. think it's pretty cool. now we'll have people in charge of devotion and stuff in the ministry as well. it's great to see how even the music ministry can help its members to grow spiritually in the Lord.
hmm..everyone's been raving over FOP and i figured i must simply join in! haa~ it was great! couldn't really grasp the concept of 'being in heaven' when people worship the Lord together till last sat night. It was surreal. everyone was lifting up their hands, singing on the top of their voices praisng Him. Loved hillsongs! somehow their songs are more catchy ( or perhaps i'm still not accustomed to rock ..=P hee) it was alright though. we are afterall all praising the Lord the same. was glad that the sermon by colin dye challenged me to really seek a 'revalation' from God and ask HIm what he really wanted me to do for HIm. it was the reason why i offered to open my house to the vietnamese on national day; and I don;t regret it a bit! it was truly rewarding to really know that you made a difference and you built bonds with them. glad to see them so happy. i guess the stress was sort of worth it. =)
right now, still have a few things left on my mind; and well, pray that I will continue to trust and depend on Him.
trust implicity.
You rescued me, and picked me up
A living hope, of grace revealed
A life transformed, in righteousness
Oh Lord, you have rescued me.
Forgiving me, you healed my heart
And set me free from sin and death
You brought me life
You made me whole
Oh Lord You have rescued me
And you knew me,
before I knew you
And you knew me for all time
A new creation, in your image, O Lord,
You rescued me, You rescued me.
trivia! which will cool faster: a small block of tofu or a big one? haa~ the interesting stuff i learn at engin class.
be curious: curiosity doesn't kill ( you are not a cat) =P
