Today, I went to Msia High Com. it was so nice! like a big house! at first, I thought it was until my dad dropped us of there in the the morning & mum went to get the pass. It looked splendid! the architecture, the buig tree where it rests on a bed of white petals, the "waterfall". nice! inside, it was super cold in the morning for the air con's sttrong and it looks like a polyclinic. many seats, that electronic board with the queue number...haha. it's not that bad, okay? so, went to make passport, then travelled to vivo cos mum wants to go to a shop there, then went back ot High Com to collect passport, off to tuition then cell. that was how today was spent! below are some pics of the high com!
When all the passport-making (not incl collection) is done, it was only 9am! and i wanted to study. so guess where i went? Not BK in vivo but the playground! there were some tables and chairs that don't belong to any food outlet. so i just sat there, lay out my things and happily study! i was definitely happy that i don't need to buy anything so i can hav a seat to study. after a while, i realised it was for parents to sit while their children play. well, no parents were fighting for them so i was fine! =) early in the morning, no kids were there. but at arbd 10am, 1 family came. subsequently, more came. i sat in front of the fountain so i could see the kids playing and getting splashed and all wet! it's like they were showering! haha. undoubtedly, i got attracted to them but i also did concentrate at most times! one of the things i took back is that one of the best photos to take of your kids is in this scene--when they are playing with water from the fountain! imagine the splash of the water and the smile/giggle of the child captured on picture! and their natural smile and intrigued mind, oh! what a picture! that it'll simply put a smile on your own face goo! i'll definitely bring my children there while they are young adn take lots of phtots! of their daring selfs! ate a pastamania that afternoon for lunch. and when i asked for a plastic bag for my drink, look!
they gave me this! it was a paper-made carrier. environmental friendly, yes. but it was hard to carry up the bus cos the drink's exposed. so had to hide in my bag. nonetheless, it's interesting and worth noting! =) then, at tuition, Hui Ming gave each of us in my clique a persent! there were 4 photos inside. our photos that we took on Wed! nice! i wanted to print and give them wan but she did it first. oh well. thank you so much Hui Ming! got a note for me too! really appreciate it! loves! Thank God I"d such wonderful friends! below is a picture that we took..at S11 foodcourt at orchard after tuition on wed!
cell today was the last lesson for our series--sermon on the mount. it's wondreful and insightful! st john st margaret church wrote it! the previous series that we did on--daniel--was from tat church too! and the good thing is that it has the application part. it's not jus head knowledge but application. the conculsion lesson was really great! an in-depth recap of the lessons we learnt right from the start of matt 5:1 to matt 7:12. reminded me about what each beautitude means, salt and light (the central focus of sermon on mount), "fulfilment of law"--to bring in the love aspect etc (rom 13:10) etc. the last lesson was from matt 7:13-24. 3 analogies:
the wise and foolish builder story and moral behind really spoke to me adn reminded me that i need to build my life upon God's Word and not on any other things that are shifting sand. it made me reflect on the things and action that i'd odne so far, and the thoughts and attitudes that i conducted myself. indeed, i admit that there were times when i was wrong. and it's time for a turn-back, girl! it's time for a turn-back. finally, we were talking about the word "believe". to believe is not jus to accept but to act and practise what you believe; the substance of faith. so, knowing this, re-look at John 3:16! Do you believe? well, all in all, thank God for this material and JPTN cell! =) alirght. back tracking a little, jus want to thank God for seeing me thru my downs and confusing moments this week. thank God fro speaking to me through a book that i read on finding God's will. thru it, He reminded me about seomthing i learnt--God is sovereign even over ht edecision that we make. and He will plan out in such a way that His will is fulfilled in due time. so no worrys, Sharon! yet, it also means that if i made a choice that isn't waht God wants me to make, I'll suffer consequences as a result of my actions. lyk wad Khalis says: actions and consequences are in a complete package! finally, another down period is this: scored 31.5% for my H3 maths. i was shocked and stunned. i knew i would fail but not so badly. sigh. it put me down. but i wasn't down primarily over my marks but over my h2 subjects. that night when i got back my results, i looked back and saw the little effort and ill-disciplined me at night and started to get depressed and despaired.losing hope and questioning myself if i can meak it for my A's was wad was on my mind. and mind you, i'm talking about my h2 subjects not my h3 paper. sigh. it was reall upsetting but i thank God that He pulled me thru. feeling better now. guess i shldn't let such thoughts enter me now! don't lose hope, Sharon! and stand strong on you own 2 feet! press on! =)) alrighty. tat's all i gotta say. if you see many typo mistakes, sorry. i typed this in a rush. gotta rush off now! take care! and do keep me in prayers! esp over my spiritual walk! thank God for watching over aunty Janet too! miracle! Hallelujah! --------------------------------- Sunday, October 14, 2007 @ 7:42 pm [15 more days to A levels]
Thank God for today. it was great to see so many new ppl in church. Ken, Jun May's sis, 1 adult and just realised one of the adults jus got to know Christ! praise God! Ken's nice. 26 years old. the oldest youth among us la. sab's colleague. was talking abt the usual stuffs la. jeremy, le jing and myself greeted him. so started talkin abt NS. then went on to uni courses. the usual la. but he was outgoing and talked alot to us (: Jeremy's going to NS tml!! haha. jus pray tat he'll be safe and sound, and stay close to God throughout his 2 years! Glad all the youths are going except for Sab and Jun May and Sam. thank God for the turn-out! and for the first time, i see the sec3 being so on and meeting on thu for the planning of the games! hoo-ray! tat also means work for me..give them the list of things to discuss. ha. last nite i was a total slacker la! i knew it was coming. watched catwoman. so couldn't get any work done! regretted. yes. definitely. sigh. my discipline when i'm at home at nite is really something i gotta tackle and find a solution! i'm hesistatin abt going down to the reading room at nite cos i'll lose out on my relationships with my family. so....?? i really dunno how. HELP! discipline discipline man! jus ate at 5-star kampong chicken rice stall! not bad. but half a chicken for a family of 6 is really not filling for me. i even ate 1.5 bowl of rice. besides the chicken, still got other dishes. but still doesn't make my stomach full. haha. but the bill ain't cheap la. $39 in total. oh well. it's lyk tat with big family! =) well, at least i know nxt time to bring my frens there! and to order a larger chicken! surprisingly, my siblings and i saw 2 Pei Hwa teachers today! so coincidental! but neither of us greeted them. haha. dun think they recognise us since none of us were taught by the 2 teachers. oh well. okay. tat's all i gotta say right now...cheers! --------------------------------- Thursday, October 11, 2007 @ 5:32 pm FAREWELL ASSEMBLY 11 October 2007

Haha. i know it's pretty depressing to see the number of days left to A's after seeing so many smiley photos. but still, gotta keep the tradition going and reminder too! today's FAREWELL ASSEMBLY!!! the day we officially stop lessons and so-called graduate from here. though the real graduation really happens when we get our A level cert. tat's when I'll really see the sch for the last time... Any after-thoughts after smiling so much and grabbing ppl to take photos with? well, jus glad i can take photos with many ppl. and i'm glad we can a really nice and candid class photo! well, this 1 year 10 months in SAJC have been quite an experience. ups and downs. and really wanna thank God for seeing me through this college life. thank God most importantly for Morning Worship! have really been blessed by it. that's where and when i really break through of my tradition expression of worship and stepped into something new. and God really fills the LT many times and spoken to me through that 15min-1/2hour that i can spend with him. thank God for my prayer partner, JOSIAH! who has been such a great fren to me and always pray for me. someone tat i can always turn to when i need prayers..thanks pal! so going on, well, the farewell assembly was indeed enjoyable and memorable! it was something that i'll rmb for a long time. never had such a ceremony. not even in sec sch. it wasn't so hip. although A Levels keep poping up. even in the video presentation tat the teachers gave us, but well, i guess it's undeniable and we can't forget about reality amist having fun. for the first time, I ENJOY SPEECHES! i was surprised but i listened to everyone of them attentively and absorbing in what each has to say. the Canon, Mrs Lim, Ms Surnafa, Ms K...they were so MEANINGFUL! took back alot of lessons. esp from Mrs Lim when she gives the parable of the pencil...they all gave very good speeches although they claimed they are not prepared... well, i was quite upset that they din start with chapel before everything else. oh well. so it was the prize giving ceremony..most courteous award, the fren of Singa Gold award and of course, the top 20 students. mun hon is really deserving of the Singa Gold award. indeed, pride din get the better of him and he's always humble and a gentleman. although i dun noe him very well, but i'm glad to have a few exchanges with him. besides, he's in my h3 class! =) well done, mun hon! all the best in your endeavours and i wonder if i'll see u again... so chapel was okay. glad i can know Ruth's taste of songs as she shared with me before chapel started. it's the first time the muslims see chapel too! so many huggings..i mean, put hands around shoulders tat kind. on-off-on-off. but it was nice. for once, when we sing the college hymn and song, we were doing tat. and for the first time, we sang the college song so loudly! but it was fun! really fun! so toking about singing and all, the teahers put up a singing item! Ms Lee was playing drums!!! i din noe. i din expect it either. thought she'll be singing instead. and Mr Casey Leong was singing!! oh my! i wanted to snap a real good pic then send to Eric to show my aunt who happen to be his teacher in msia, but my camera died on me jus when i wanted a better shot. i only got a blur one now..haha. but i'm glad my camera turned out okay so i can take more photos! well, the song they sang was Unwritten which i put in my previous post. got a chance to really look at the lyrics and it's so meaningful! thank you teachers! =) indeed, the pages of my life are still unwritten and i will write something meaningful on it! purposeful such that God uses me mightly! then, it was farewell for Mrs Lim too. the video presentation was good. i lyk the layout. ms chia was super anxious that everything goes well. then there was this gifts-ceremony where each CG rep has to go on stage to give mrs lim a gift and hug her. but i dun lyk the way she shows the gifts to everyone in the cc. it's lyk comparing gifts. yee. but the gifts are nice and many. i hope mrs lim likes them however big or small it is =) If we hold on together was a song that we sang together. as for gifts I receive, thanks Ms Tan! Alison! Mr Fong! Ansley! ms tan gave me a black book with my name that is stickered on it! tat black book look vaguely familiar. and when i got mine, i know why already. well, not saying here. before ms tan gave the book, she was also echoeing the speeches and saying that some of them names are a bit crooked. she apologised and also said she can't change it. make a mistake but move on with life. so yar. tat was meaningful and something i take back home together with the book...now i'm jus wondering what to do with it...wad to write in it.... Mr Fong gave a class photo of us made into a puzzle! it must have cost something man! but more for the thought tat i am grateful to him for it! he's a nice teacher although i'm not v close to him. still, thanks! I can't believe i'm leaving school with 2 keychains! one of house council and another of class of 2007. nice. it's awesome. the class of 2007 seems so much lighter than the house council one. oh well. i'm going to put them together anyway... finally, the things/people/moments i'll miss:
I believe that's about all i wanna say here! study hard to my frens who are readin this entry! take care of yourself and i'll rmb you all always! =) cheers! --------------------------------- @ 4:11 pm Unwritten

DO YOUR BEST! is the key 3-word =) i guess tat's wad set my mind at ease for h3 paper too. it wasn't easy. there were many qns i din noe how to do..dun think i'll pass it. but i felt strongly tat i did my best. and tat puts a smile on my face. i tried. i really did. so no regrets? lyk wad some cliche phrases say. haha. today, kah hwee invited le jing and i to bsf introductory lesson for young adults coming thurs nite! i was really surprised but thankful tat she sms me! i was actually thinking abt signing up for this course nxt year onwards and this introductory lesson will definitely give me more info! on-right!! =) i'm so glad. so want to know more abt wad's it lyk. the structure of each lesson and to see if i really wanna commit myself to this 7-year course to study the entire bible in-depth =) i think it's cool. definitely. and it's young adults too. ppl frm the same age group and it's a mixed grp too =) anyway, looking forward. i was surprised tat le jing is interested and willing to go on thu nite. i tot she'll choose studies over this. besides, the last time i mention bsf to her in chr, she doesn't look interested to join me. oh well. i'm glad there's a turn of heart. hope nth obstructs us frm going!okay. tat's all i gotta say. ta-da.. --------------------------------- Sunday, October 07, 2007 @ 7:45 pm [22 more days to A levels]

N THANK GOD FOR SEEING ME THROUGH!! haha. sometimes it's freaky to see anonymous ppl taggin on my blog. n i tot it'll jus be someone who blog hopped and happened to see mine so tag. then, my spectulation became wrong when the person comes back. n ask for my help. haha. i dun mind helping. but i wonder how the person gets my url, why he/she keeps coming to my blog and why he/she wants to remain anonymous? why??? and was talking to zhen tang who's sitting nxt to me, he jus showed me a v scary scenerio. yee. i hope it's not true but yet it's probable. ha. not trying to say anything bad to you, if u are reading, but i jus hope u can make yrself clear. mm. tat's all! ta-da! --------------------------------- Wednesday, October 03, 2007 @ 11:30 am [26 more days to A levels]
okay. hit the 2s already. grr. tml got h3 prelim!! n today got GP mock! grr. until so late and i couldn't find any transport home..if u know wad i mean. sigh. so left wid the entire graph theory and P&C. sigh. i jus hope i can finish them fast and quickly! also realised tat it's hard for me to conc at home...keep going out to watch tv then tok to my family. so no-discipline! tot of studying outside at nite but i had to come home for dinner n QT. so can't compromise on tat. esp QT. then, tot of going to reading room but i go there and spend lyk 3hrs after dinner there, the communication btw my family and i will really be v little. i guess this is wad most econs ppl will say: opportunity cost. and i dun think i'm going to compromise on my family ties. so, tell me, wad shld i do?? help!! quite fortunately or unfortunately, i had an interesting encounter ytday when i went back to sch to study. i was sitting outside sc on the bench areas beside this couple. the guy's a current j2 and the gal is a j1. the guy was teaching maths to her. it so mirrors me. i mean, the guy took off the tie but she din. both sat on opposite sides of the bench. the guy sometimes take a break by lying down to rest. n the nicest part is tugging her fringe behind the ears for her. tat so reminds me of last time. but the difference is that both are not councilors and i dun really know wad status they are in though i can quite confirm both have a connection. sigh. memories...unforgettable ones. reminds me of a quote i saw recently: when time fades, memory replaces it.... --------------------------------- |
