Okay. many nice things happened today. actually, ytday, i was kinda upset n wondering if i'll regret my choice of sa cos i was jus thinkin of how many frens do i have. den today, i had such a wonderful time wid them!! i can see their care n concern n the fun n laughter we shared together. wad touched me most was...er...actually it's a few things la.

First, this morning, Yi Mei suddenly said thank you for showing care for her. i was surprised as i couldn't recall when i had done tat. as she began to retell the story/event tat took place last friday, i was pretty surprised tat she remembered. this goes to show tat little words do make a big difference. to be honest, i have hardly receive word of gratefulness frm ppl our age. not tat i'm expecting one but it's nice to receive one, dun u think? at least u noe tat sumwhere out there, there are nice ppl. i had only received one frm josiah last time n now frm yi mei. it's nice. jus brings smiles to my face. thank you! =)

The nxt nice thing tat happens is the balloon thing! met wq, pamela, yi mei n ansley at the balloon booth. they were thinking of getting balloons for each other. i joined in. they invited me, besides, i really wished to write a msg on their balloon! so we each bought one n start fillin it up wid lots n lots of messages. though the helium gas will soon escape n droop (lyk wad's happening now), but it's the tot tat counts. it's a bit weird carryin it arnd in the bus. had the balloon tied on my bag n placed beside in geog lesson. luckily, i din get distracted. it's the first time i carried/have such a balloon. thanks pals!

solved many tricks today too. a pity the sc counter is closed. we were looking forward to playin pictionary or taboo!! haha. nxt week guys! or maybe i bring my own pictionary set? how abt tat?? finally, got tut to do. chem tut. din noe there's tut 7 on the redox eqns i'm learning now. finally got work to do! lol. okok. missed work. met wei ling at sc today. din noe she's expecting a letter. haha. i'll try to write to her den. hmm. she wanna see how zg looks lyk. haha. i hope to get his picture den! toked a bit wid her. she wanna go ac. told her my experience of crashing n why i din put ac first choice. jus hope she'll be able to catch up wid all the lectures over in ac n enjoy n learn alot frm there!

Hmm. wad's nxt? er. met eleena for lunch. finally we met for lunch. walked arnd aft tat. went to buy newpaper den toked abt the serangoon case. den buy food for the youth. haha. i kept mentionin tat i miss the food n eating. n she kept reminding me tat i'm not the one who's eating. so sad. i wish i was though. lol. picked me n drove me back to sch. a good lunch n meeting up wid her! hope to have it one more time?? din noe last time also got sc where they can play games. nice. she was frm the 15th student council. hmm. hope to find the photo of her when she was young!

Learnt stuff frm "Purpose Driven Life". today i learnt abt temptations. it started with "Every temptation is an opportunity to do good". here's wad i learnt: temptation provides the choice. n when u choose to give in, it's sin. it's the same as in the case of Jesus. He was tempted but he never sins cos he never gave in to any of them. also, every time i choose to do instead of sin, i'm growing in the character of Christ. It's such a joy n comfort to hear this! now, i can face my temptations boldly =) cos i certainly do wanna grow to be lyk christ! N wad characters? lyk the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, goodness n self control. character developmet. tat's wad it's called. n chatacter developmetn involves a choice and temptation provides tat opportunity. dun u think tat very often we're tempted to express the exact opposite quality in the circumstance? know the temptation n overcome it. the book gave guidelines, naturally, wid references to the scriptures. n one thing tat rings in my head is to call out for God's help. it's comforting, once again, to know he's always there n listening n helping me. ah-ha! "Temptations keep us dependent upon God" Amen. "everytime i stand up to a temptation, you become more lyk Jesus". yeah yeah. so happy. kk. my favourite verse wid regards to this issue: "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him" James 1:12

One quality tat i'm being moulded to is patience. n i'm still being moulded as long as i'm single. indeed, it's a lesson learnt aft my fall? hmm. you can say so. tat's wad i had learnt last time too. tat God gave us this period of singleness to build christ character n it isn't exactly a time to explore but rather, jus go about yr daily work n stay focus. besides, tat's how Ruth met Boaz n tat's where King David was born where subsequently, Jesus came frm tat line. Ruth was out picking n collecting grains for food n was spotted by Boaz. Okay. sum of u readers may agree n sum may not. wadever the case, i respect yr decision n opinion n hope my expression of opinions wld not affect you or anger you. hee.

tat's all i gotta say! cheers n stay happy!
