an angel in disguise

today, my angels were lindy n adora in dg :) we didn't do much. nth 
special, tho coffee club was a nice change of environment for dg. 
but, sometimes their presence n heartfelt concern is all that is needed.

n a few mins ago my niece came into my room. 

her: 姑姑,你猜我华文拿多少分?upon 60
me: 你会叫我猜这样一定是很高咯。57？
her: *shakes head*
me: 58? 
her: *shakes head again* 
me: 多少？
her: 60。我是唯一一个华文拿满分的本地人Leh

haha this silly niece of mine. proud of her! kids are like that huh. so
innocently want to show off her results. haha. 

warning: for the easily grossed out, pls do not read the following. 

me: 妈，我今天有泻肚子Leh
妈：*大笑* 你很好笑的hor. 现在开始到考完试我看你不用吃水果都可以大便了啦。*继续笑*

haha. i'm starting to get stressed. n whenever stress comes, my 
digestive system sort of screws up/goes into overdrive. but oh well, 
it's good to clear my intestines once a sem. haha!

on a happier note

:) the emails from fang nv fail to put a smile on my face :) thank God for such a dear sister.

n i can feel another friendship getting stronger :) problems and tears - the ingredients to a growing friendship n sisterhood :)

the things i went through w the girls i lead in dg encouraged and reminded me. even though those were things that i've studied last year in the dg i'm in. even as i lead, i'm learning new things too :)

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade-kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
1peter1:3-7

indeed, all we need to rejoice in is salvation.

:D

that aside, i'm starting to think abt what things to do when the sem's over in abt a month's time. right now there's:

cycling to pierce reservoir
geylang taohuay w meihui/shi en/ber that got postponed from last time
karaoke! (preferably the 10bucks one. adora i need to make up for the last session i missed! haha)
treetop walk with my parents :D (don't know if my mum can tahan walking 12km though. hmm)
island creamery (pear, we can wait till u're back from taiwan!)
CE class w wang ye (exciting!)
outing w my little xiao zu (qing en's been pestering me for abt 2 weeks now..)
finally putting tgt the parcel to send to crossroads w kaising
finally finishing what we have to do w dabestclique
bball w dabestclique (haha this is highly unachievable. we always end up w dinners)

:D the holidays look good now. incentive to prowl through the rest of the weeks!

life's not been very interesting lately. because i don't find going from project meeting to project meeting with increasing backlog on readings and the looming finals interesting.

i need to focus on sch work, much as i don't like it. learning is fun. slogging for projects isn't.

need to start thinking and sourcing for internships seriously. otherwise i won't ever graduate. will need to either take one sem for it and leave summer hols free, or do it in summer hols. so tempted to take the one sem off. let's see how things go, if i'll be able to secure an internship i'm interested in for the coming sem. hmm.

it's late, i'm going to have faith that i can wake up early tmr morning to finish the assignment to be handed in by 11am.

i think i need to go for a run or sth. or eat chocolates. release some endorphins.

over optimistic

i always think i've more time than i actually have.

today spent a little too much time at the hospital w ah ma + dad + aunt than i had originally planned. this time, felt disturbed by the other patient opposite ah ma. looking at that lady, I'm really thankful that ah ma is slping most of the time. at least she's not suffering as much as others seem to be. that other lady was so xin ku, with the phlegm at her throat. the sound was really scary. the ward's name is peace, but the place doesn't seem to be peaceful.. in abt 3 weeks' time, all the patients in her side of the ward have changed. turnover rate is really high :( when will her suffering end? when my dad and aunt were chatting abt the past, i could feel their sadness. this is starting to take a toil on her children too.. how long must this drag?

我们基督徒常说凡是都有神的美意在其中。但现在我还看不到那美意何在。“我要赞美，无论锝时不得时” 。唱得简单，做却很难。

two quizzes on fri. advertising and marketing research. sch work is really piling up now.

定睛看耶稣，不要惧怕，因为神与我同在。要记得我所相信的这位神也是圣经里记载那使寡妇的油和面不减少的神。

thank you meihui! we were under some staircase at bugis junction, n i got this under some 'mysterious' situation. haha. it was quite funny. the shopping was fun. :D I think it was the first time I've shopped this sem actually. n i really thank God that we were frank enough w each other. may the problems we faced and mistakes we made serve to strengthen the friendship instead of weaken it. :) (and i will curb my curiosity and only open the letter when i'm upset.)

i'm becoming more of a pig. yest night after shopping i was supposed to study for tmr's quiz. i ended up slping at 10 plus! then i was supposed to be up at 7am to study. but i ended waking at 8. which left not much time to study. so in the afternoon i was supposed to really study alrd. BUT i fell aslp within 10 mins of reading the notes. woke half an hour ltr, only to fall aslp almost immed after i resumed reading. knocked out for another half hour. which explains why i'm up at 1am now. -.-

shall go off to bed. hopefully i'll be able to wake up tmr to do some more revision before the test. sleep, here i come!
