oh darn it!
just when i thought i'll be a motivated-to-exercise girl this morning, it just had to rain ): and i was looking forward to run in my jersey (: hahah. ayeee. hopefully it stops later so that i can still go run. and so that i dont need to walk outside with an umbrella. haha.
i need sleep, i think i might just collaspe from exhaustion soon. thank God for the kt trip next week, yay! (: then i can sleep like there's no tmr. haha.
\\EDIT;0758
my time with God the past week has been crap. like so chopped up and quite dependent on things that happen in church to keep gg. sian. but God is faithful and he still allowed me to enter into his presence easily, be it for prayer or worship or just standing there and enjoying him! and i FINALLY did a proper qt last night (the last one was wed) and it felt so good to 'be back' (: yay! i need to pray for more discipline. been reading 'ordering your private world' on the way to work on most mornings and it's a really challenging book, even if you are not a christian, the values can still apply to you. and yeah it makes me feel quite disgusted about the lack of a strong inner core that i lack, in my case, one that is with God. (gloria!!! my pace partner, where are you up to? we need to pace this week okay? (: and must get nat too...)
went out with my mentee from sn yesterday. i realised that i find it hard to share about God with some of my friends, because their lives seem to revolve so much around the physical aspects, and there seems to be no time for themselves or even God. it's like you keep occupying yourself with things so as to seem like a busy/popular person but actually you're just in need of something else which is more important. something that can fill the God-shaped hole in us. and you know what it is but you just stand there, apathetic, finding it a silly thought or something irrelevant to your life. get into the zone man, God wants you to know him as he knows you! he loves you so so much more than we can ever love ourselves or others can ever love us. you need Him, because only he can satisfy and once you've found him, you'll never ever want to let go, you'll never want second best.

slacker
haha. i feel like one this week cos there's nothing much to do ard for some odd reason. haha. been helping glory prepare kj stuff which i quite enjoyed cos it was rather hands on and crafts based. yup. brainless but i like (:
i was so bored yesterday, wanted my cello so badly ): so that i could play and practice instead of rotting. ended up searching youtube and found some child prodigies. haha. glory got new boyfriend. his name is daniel hass and he's a charismatic 11 year old who plays the cello in a way that makes people swoon. haha. was so nice watching him perform. watched him with glory. it was quite amusing cos there were 3 vids of him performing, one when he was 9, 9.5 and 10 y.o. respectively and you can see him grow bigger and his hair grow longer from the artsy length to the tarzan length. hahah.
qing told me that we got invited to play for jubilate in may (: yay happy! haha. haven't played tgt for 2 yrs + alr. miss the feeling alot man. and the people too. been very inspired the past few cello lessons cos there's just so much more to learn now, esp since got more time and she really works on my lousy basics. hahah.
oh yeah now i rmb what i actually wanted to blog about. haha. o lvl results just came out yesterday and soon it'll be the a lvl-lers turns. and i was thinking about my choices for uni courses again. med in spore is really difficult to get into, but i believe that my God does the impossible (: and i dunno, might end up overseas. then i was thinking if i should try for YST music. but then i need time to prepare audition pieces which would only allow me to audition next year. yeah. medicine? music? yeeesh. i hate making decisions sometimes man.

last day of ignite later today! God's been showing me some stuff, which is really cool and it gets me really excited about 'lifting my staff' for him (: his divine appointment is really awesome. like last thurs i was told my teacher couldnt make it this thurs for lesson due to rehearsal so it got pushed back to wed instead. then that night, anqing msged me about a strings dinner which would fall on this thurs. at first i didnt think anything bout it, like oh okay, great i can go meet up with my fav ensemble (: then on friday night during the conference, it suddenly occured to me that nothing happens by chance and by God's planning and arrangement, that would prob be a rare chance to see them and communicate the gospel to them in some way or another, which i thought was super cool (: yay so now im excited, not only to meet them, but to be a seed planter for him on thurs!
yesterday i prayed for siewmin too, cos i felt that this mentor-mentee relationship is probably the only one in the whole sch or smth. like how many mentors still keep in touch with their mentees and vice versa? yeah so it was very unique and special to me and im sure that it is not without a reason, or without God's hand in it for that matter.
somehow, someway, God WILL DO something (: just because he can!
on a side note, im becoming a sleep deprived girl. annoy me and i will bite your head off... heh heh. ya la, im very tired, getting panda eyes and an outbreak. disgusting. and im losing my voice. well not exactly but in a sense. can't sing for nuts now. haha.

in retrospect...
the year has passed! it only seemed a while ago when we were all complaining of j2 life and the looming A levels, and now it's poof!
2007 has been a real roller coaster, maybe like corkscrew or the freefall thing. haha. at the start of the year i was thinking of the many things ahead, like track (nationals and captaincy), studies, God(qts and His church), cg( both the sec4s and j2s), piano dip exam.
i rmb the many crazy trainings with my favourites (keewei, yujun, jocelyn, yingjing, kevin, rayson, kamalesh and not forgetting our coach ms tan!). the cemetery runs, circuits, jumping up the gallery steps, reps of 150s, 200s, 300s, 400s, 600s, 800s, 1000s, 1500s. it was really crazy but the discipline was good (:
i rmb the competitions (sph relays, swift, nat juniors, nationals, and one more i forgot). i rmb the pre-comp jitters (always!) and the warmups outside gombak.
i rmb the chicken rice stall we always eat from after comps or trngs.
i rmb the rubdowns and physio sessions from shin splints, ankle and lactic.
i rmb water running! (;
i rmb encouraging the sprinters and throwers during trng.
i rmb the lightness of spikes and the way it grips the track.
i rmb the panting during runs and the speed during short reps.
i rmb the drills (ankling, high knees, shuffling, sideways, lunges, striding).
i rmb the fun times we've had as a team or even in our small groups. like tau huay after trngs and just laughing our stress away.
i rmb ms tan, with all her pep talks with us as a team, with her encouragements during trng on our individual performances, with her leadership skills teaching us in the exco.
i rmb the exco, the mtgs we had, the fun in organising camp tgt.
i rmb saying 'the sky is falling' everytime i talked to rengfu.
i rmb the study sessions at the balcony, cafe or lib, even after trng stopped for us, where we spurred each other on in a common race of the A levels.
those were the days (:
i rmb coco, geks, limin, hsiaoen, youyin, xiaolan, how we always hang out tgt even with our individual cliques. thanks for the whines, the laughter, the nonsense, the food, the sadness, the annoyance, etc we all shared (:
i rmb melvin and zhenjie, my good gp gang amongst the arts people, always full of nonsense (esp melvin) yet never failing to brighten up every gp lesson.
i rmb leo, as yy's bf mostly, but also as one who really cares for the people around him.
i rmb jianming and his wit in class, and always helping the teachers to set up the av stuff.
i rmb the scholars from china/hongkong/indon/msia/thailand who made 06S02 the hippest scholar class ard (:
i rmb the class team of 10x200m runners, where we were so unwilling to participate until the day itself when we burned the track man (:
i rmb mr chia and his care towards the class, even though his physics lessons got boring sometimes :P
i rmb mrs cheng with her black and white wardrobe, and her speeding train chem lessons which we had problems keeping up with initially.
i rmb pe lessons with mr dan ho whose strictness was so scary at first but turned out to be his way of setting the standard (: he always said we were his favourite class!
i rmb all the consultations outside the glass door and at the balcony, rushing to fill up the teacher's timeslots and mrs cheng had her's so full that she had to pass some of her students to other teachers who had so many empty slots!
i rmb the studying sessions after school along the corridors/outside sc/lib.
i rmb morning worship everyday with john, kris, sam, glory, evan, hannah, joanne, marcus, etc (:
i rmb the countless times we stepped into popular to window shop though we did buy stuff occasionally.
i rmb the assemblies where no one wanted to stand in front and our class always ended up with no space cos we would be crowded out by s1 and s3 since no one stood there and mrs chan and mr chia would chide us.
i rmb the slacking in the sc during breaks where we would go disturb melvin and juan
06S02 really rocked (:
i rmb the goal setting with sec 4 cg where we had major exams at the end of the year and said that we would (or they would) encourage one another not only in studies but in their faith.
i rmb the cg times of fun, seriousness, dazed and distractedness, etc
i rmb the voracious appetites of the guys (which they still do have) who always welcomed the presence of food anytime without fail
i rmb the times of outings and retreats that were planned
i rmb the times of silences which spoke volumes.
i rmb the times of prayer where we edified one another through the prompting of the spirit (:
i rmb the study sessions with the j2 cg at cheryl's place where just being there made a difference somehow.
i rmb the outings the guys kept planning: to cheryl's house, genting, night cycling, escape, meals, etc
i rmb the guys weird personalities and characters which brought alot of laughter (and we'll miss them once they enlist which is soon)
i rmb the girl like screams and whines of guys like tsura, and the fearless and fearful and daniel guilds in genting (:
i rmb the foam mat fights and the duck sound thing at camp in the j1/j2 bunk.
God's love is above all and in all and thru all (:
i rmb the piano lessons which had weird timings so as not to clash with trng, and all the rushing here and there.
i rmb the practices i squeezed between lessons at LT1/2
i rmb the female examiner who was so gracious and talented and nice
i rmb the emotions after stepping out of the room
i rmb the anxiety when opening my envelope where the results were in
i rmb the nights when di walked into my room for no reason and we'ld share about our day.
i rmb the times when i thought about mum, how much i missed her, how different life would be.
there are so many things to rmb, to be thankful about and one blog post cant list them all. but the most important thing that i rmb and will never ever forget would be God's presence thru every single little detail of my life, how he's held my hand and walked me thru, carried me when i couldnt stand it anymore. his mercies were and are new every morning and he never lets us down with his promises (: God is truly a good God and he is real! i thank Him for a great year (:
and in this year, many changes are taking place, even now. it's time to grow up and move on, with God being my guide (:
