Charging On

Dark clouds looming outside my room. Can hear claps of thunder sporadically. ITS GOING TO POUR! YEAH!!!! I love rain. Don't know why but when I see those huge droplets falling continuosly...it somehow refreshes me. Rain never fails to charge me up. I am thankful that on a day when I'm feeling rather gloomy and drained, the rain comes to perk me up!!!

Dread this week. 2 huge assignments in my face and I'm half-way done for each. I know I'm at my peak of stress when my brain is actively thinking about my assignments even when I'm asleep! Arghhhhhhhhh....literally losing hair over it (not that I have alot to spare lor). Gross!

Ha..but as I ponder about things, I asked myself if I should need to feel all frus up over assignments! Aren't there more impt things in life than my assignments? Why must all these dumbo assignments and deadlines have such strong control over me, my emotions and well-being!? I believe I'm stronger than that! Come on lah...I'm a product of the education system of Singapore! Haha...endured tougher training prior to NIE.

I always tell myself never to stay in the rut if I ever find myself in one. I have to somehow get out otherwise, I'll just remain there or worse, sink deeper. Its time to get my act together and keep charging on as I've been doing. All these trying moments are mere fleeting ones, but what should stand strong is my inner being , my character. I'm not easily taken down and these assignments will never be able to! Haha yeah!

For now, having a new perspective and making the choice to stay positive and be ME! :)

And waiting for the refreshing downpour to come! Quickly will ya????

Perspective

Sitting down in front of the computer and listening to 'All The Earth' for the 10th time. Its Anais's off day and we have been trying to upload our pictures onto Facebook. I've got my Day 1 up but poor Ana, still trying to get hers up! Have been in Cambodia for 5 days and returning to Singapore on thursday. Previously, time seem to snail by but as I browsed through the pictures taken of the past few days, I realised that its not that slow after all. Coming to Cambodia this time was different. Was supposed to lead a team to LIA but ended up not because of lack of preparation time and inadequate response. Anyhow, I just felt I should make a personal trip up to see for myself the work at LIA and sense what God is doing in this land. Prior to the trip, I've been reading about Cambodia's news and they just appear everyday in the papers. Well it can't be more clear than this so I went. Followed Anais as she goes to and fro the b oys' & girls' home to t

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get

Eat....Laugh....Be Merry!

Anais and myself finally satisfied our craving for chilli crab...after 2 weeks! YESSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH.........:) happy happy! Together with Ben, Brian and my sis, we headed to Sembawang to indulge in some seafood delicacies that included huge cereal prawns and stingray. It was also a form of celebration for Anais who graduated not too long ago! You bet we were so stuffed after that! Anais still wanted ice-cream after the meal but we were already max. out in terms of stomach's space and capacity. Yummy food was of course the highlight but what was more memorable was the company. First time hanging out with Ben and Brian and it turned out to be a hilarious time! Good food eaten with 'happening' people makes it even more tasty. I treasured this time of fellowshipping as I got to see a different side of people and getting to know them better. More of such makan sessions is good for bonding! Singaporean leh..:) From left: Ben, Jasmine (sis), me, Anais and Brian Happy we went, tota
