i really needed that break. and on wed night i told myself that i couldn't take it any longer... i needed to rest on thursday and i really slept a lot. work has been piling up like nobody's business and i had been sleeping less than 5 hours or so for the past 1 week completing work and work, and that excludes preparation for cts.
it felt like a brand new wk when i returned to school today... maybe because it's the first time of the week that i feel so refreshed. thanks to people who asked how i was feeling and chem test was bad. i tot it would be real easy and i din noe that ionic equilibrium would be tested. i wondered if it was the right paper... but any-o-how, i tried my best.
prayer group sessions were real fruitful and the coming weekends spell some sort of relief for me to really rest and sadly, mug. but it'll be over in 2 weeks when i can enjoy my birthday and the one week break.
=)

this week had been really horrible. literally i was really busy, with 5 hours of sleep almost every day and such. i ought to take care of my health in order not to fall ill. yet, i thank God for the strength and refreshment each new day, and i thank God i can still be alert n pay attention in class.
had been unhappy with some teachers lately. and the frustration n agitation on why things don't seem to go the way i feel it's best still agitates me. but as i was thinking about it, i guess i really cannot do anything else. hmmm.... then only prayer works.
it had been cca admin, work, projects and more upcoming tests. and i doubt the following week (and subsequent weeks) won't be any better. there's a million-gazillion things to do and seriously i start to feel the pressure only now. there's so much, too much, and over-much (if there's such a word) but i guess i can only go through all these by the grace n strength of God.
Amidst of such workload, i hope to be able to be a blessing to others in my sch, cell and wherever... becoz each of us face struggles in our lives, and it's good to support n care for one another =)

it has been the most hectic and crazy week since the start of the year. and it meant less sleep as well. i have to tell myself to get out of the holiday mood that im still in.... and common tests is in like 4 wks time?
was just thinking about school and life. i realised i haven't been putting in my whole attitude in work even though i do complete tutorials and homework but the whole work attitude towards doing it isn't just right. guess i gotta change coz more work is piling up soon.
had a chance this week to talk to sab as she was waiting for class to start. it wasn't e typical hi n smile, and one thing she told me was to get used to the heavy workload in j2 and i told myself that i really hv to. even my other teachers said this too. tests and tests and tests. even though how sian it can be, i just need to run this race all the way for the year.
yeh running is now getting better for me during mass pe sessions. i really do need to train man. and thank God that mass pe sessions are finally over.
orientation had started this week in school, and it's rather noisy that i can hear the screams during lesson time. and i din noe how i manage to complete a gp compre enduring the noises. haha. cca bazaar was cool with performances and the response for debates was really overwhelming too. too many people signed up i would say.
had a long day ytd with history test which i wrote too slowly and debates shadow adjudication was a learning experience for me.
hope that next wk would be a better wk

i've realised im quite lazy to update the radi8 blog. haha and im updating mine instead. haha
anyways wasn't really in the mood to celebrate chinese new year this year. wasn't excited, wasn't looking forward to it, it was juz a let-it-come-let-it-go kind of mentality. probably this year's was too early in jan. it wasn't the angpows i was looking forward, in fact it was nothing. i remember every year i would be looking forward to cny but really not this year. but oh wells, 2 days had passed by and im going to just let it pass and there's gonna be no more holidays til my birthday *hints hints* haha...
realised that the past 3 nites had been lo-hei-ing. yes my family and i had lo-heied for three times , and for me four (inclu fri's celebratn). haha many many blessings indeed. it had been talking during cny, playing my cousin's iphone, and eating bak kua, playing cards. today was rather mundane and i spent this cny trying to think of arguments for my history tutorial. writing a history essay on religious fundamentalism is so hard. oh wells, i'll see how well my answers are tmr.
juz need God's strength to guide me through the many tedious ahead. i need God to help me really.

alot had happened this week and i guess i should state the key events this past wk.
played for the last 5pm svc on sun... kind of historic with water baptism as well. school started where i felt adjusted back to lectures and tutorials. the past week was sian n i was glad it was s0-so though nicole thought i felt sian in sch. but it wasn't la... i guess it was my serious face that shows but in actual fact it wasnt.
mass pe was kinda tiring but i think i have gotten used to it (based on last yr's experience) , and a lot of enduring. and i guess encouraging tim to run n pace him (more so in e first round) allows me to be more pro-active in pe? haha
prayer grp was kinda established on wed afternn... when we gathered n i guess everyone's sharing was great la. and the subsequent sessions were great too... and we'll keep on praying for God to move in this place.
cny celeb in school today was interesting . with exciting performances from dance, and odac and mr fong's cmi dance steps - which was hilarious , coz u can tell he was constantly looking at the others on the dance steps - he wasn't sure la. the lo-hei was kinda messy but i guess we managed to clear it. lots of food contributed though i din bring anything (oops) but thanks to ms mook for getting the class to bring food la... if not we really wouldn't be having any food.
cell was good juz now with sashi's sharing and also the 'why do parents want us the young ppl to not stay out too late' and we had 2 answers - one for guys and one for gals. and the trust fall activity was great. i wasn't scared at all when sashi asked me to fall while the rest of the cell supported me and it was great la. and sam was lying on the floor, hoping she wouldn't be crushed by me if i fell (and i think she also trusted sashi too la). kinda fun la
and there's touch rug tmr. hehe
