It may only be a month, but it'll feel like a year.

Just had lunch with my uncle.

Thank you, Lord, for giving me these results :)

He's helped me pull through with physics and english. Now I have to rely even more on His strength to achieve my target gpa of 5.0, which isn't going to be easy, what with english, physics and math. Of course, I can only do so little on my own :)

You know what?

I absolutely hate the fact that I'm this absent minded. Now I've dug a hole for myself. Happens every time.

Punching the past

Just so y'all know,I'm not going through some sort of emotional crisis. I'm just been in a pensive mood recently.

Anyways,just found out that my cousin will be starting her degree in medicine at Yong Loo Lin this coming august, which is awesome! (Admittedly I'm kinda slow, results have already been out for probably 1 month +). Wishing her all the best in her studies! (Even though she's not aware of the existence of this blog).

So yea probably she'll be your senior if you get into Yong Loo Lin too, but that's not for another 15 months haha.

Eagerly anticipating the issuance of progress reports. Want to see whether my CAP has improved! MUST GET DISTINCTION. To be honest, I'll be disappointed if I can't scrape a distinction.

As a student, and a Christian, my purpose of studying is to glorify God through my studies, and regrettably I haven't been doing this for the past 5 years, adopting a no-chap attitude for the majority of my time in nushs. I'd like to go back in time and punch myself for that, haha. No joke though. I'd really like to do that.

So yea. I'd really really like to do that :D

Studies, to me, isn't about getting good grades, getting a good diploma, get into a good course, get a good job and earn big bucks. Yes, on the surface I would sometimes say things that would contradict what I am saying here, (I really should stop doing that), it's about getting good grades, and glorifying God through them. After all, He is the one who gives me those, because I've put in the necessary efforts. I don't want to earn big bucks because I want to be rich. I just want to be financially stable, I just want to be able to live life. Well, anyway I've already decided that a tenth of my future salary should be for offerings (it's written in the bible)*. Granted, earning more means I can give more. But it's never about getting rich. I don't want to get rich. Riches breed arrogance (for example, CZY). That's the last thing I want.

*An example: 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. Leviticus Chapter 27

I'm quite used to burying my emotions.Which is why I have trouble expressing them,haha. So I'd come across as weird at times. :P

This

Career day

has cleared off something's that's been on my mind recently. Why pursue a chemistry degree?Do I really have a burning passion in chemistry? Or is it just because I score well in the subject?

And most of all, do I want a career in chemistry?

It's not that I don't...but...I can't really think of why I would want it. It's like there's a missing piece of the puzzle, you know?

Talking to that SAF officer was quite enlightening, actually. And he does raise quite a number of good points. Pursuing a purpose-driven career is alot more fulfilling than a profit-driven one. The sense of purpose is there. There are chances to help change other's lives. Plus it does give me financial stability. And there's that factor of contributing to the nation.

If I do get into OCS, I'll most likely sign on. 80% confirm. 20% comes from my time in NS, whether I feel that I should sign on.

God created these.

Looks pretty laidback...

this too:

amazing scandinavian landscape.

Can't shake this feeling. And I also feel wide awake,though my brain's telling me to go sleep.

:/

this is comedy gold.

Ellen messes around...again

Enjoy this fine collection of art.

 Basically the words on the apron reads: Do not feed the bird.

 Yes,this bird can talk

 Matchmaker bird

 I...

 That guy eventually became an astronaut.

 Belly flopping into a pit of oranges.

Says the fat bird.

I said that my legs would recover in time for tomorrow's CIP,but...I can't say that for sure now. It would seemed that it took a turn for the worse, now even my left achilles is threatening to leave me limping around like a cripple. (on top of my right, which seemed like it was almost OK last night...-.-)

Worthwhile

I'm really glad there was someone I could talk to about the matters of the Kingdom of God...although from different sides. I do have friends in church whom I can talk to about such things, but this is the first time I actually talked about such things for such a long time (albeit only for an hour or so). To be honest, that was the first time this year, I actually felt like I was talking about something worthwhile. Heh. It's also given me more motivation to be a better christian. Haha.

Somehow it feels like I'm always so far away from the rest of the world. :/

我的得救见证

感谢神！在我两岁时，神感动我母亲信主。我就在那时开始跟母亲到教会。当时我还小，并不真正了解“教会”是什么地方，只知道是每星期天活动的场所。从小接触到的圣经故事，以及每日每晚向神的祈祷过后，使我渐渐地领会到这世界是有一位真神在掌管，一切都是祂创造的。这位神又差遣祂唯一的儿子，在两千年前来到世上为要拯救罪人。我记得在主日学经常唱的一首诗歌，“神爱世人，。。。”就记载在约翰福音三章十六节。

在我五岁时，母亲就带我到基利心堂，在那里共有七年，过后，在我小六时，我就来到了裕廊西以马内利圣经长老会（之前是以马内利团契），感谢神赐给我有事奉的机会。

两年前，我参加了班丹加略堂的少年营，神籍着其中一个分享讨论会，让我们分享了个人的得救经历，使我真正对生命与救恩有更深一层的理解，这几年来我以为只要信，就得救了；在那一晚我意识到自己是个罪人，需要主耶稣的宝血来洗清我的罪，才能得救，成为神的儿女。在分享讨论会过后，我就请问长老如何做绝志祷告，真正接受主耶稣基督为我的救主

神一直以来都与我同行，带领我在身、心、灵的成长。感谢神引导我在少年营，慕道班的学习和受洗归入教会，使我领悟到要在神的话语里扎根，与主建立更美好与亲密的关系。

朋友们，有一件礼物，你收到没有，眼睛看不到，你心会知道，这一件礼物，心门外等候，是为了你准备，别人不能收。生命有限，时光也会走，如果你不珍惜，机会难留，礼物虽然好，如果你不要，你怎么能够得到，怎么能得到？亲爱的朋友，你是否想到，马槽的婴孩，是为你而来，亲爱的朋友，你是否了解，最好的礼物是人子主耶稣。

"神 爱 世 人 ， 甚 至 将 他 的 独 生 子 赐 给 他 们 ， 叫 一 切 信 他 的 ， 不 至 灭 亡 ， 反 得 永 生 。因 为 神 差 他 的 儿 子 降 世 ， 不 是 要 定 世 人 的 罪， 乃 是 要 叫 世 人 因 他 得 救 。" --约翰福音三章十六至十七节

Funny how I keep forgetting how to put on an ankle brace even though I've been doing it all day.

on another note,if my achilles is still as screwed up tomorrow morning,I have no idea how I'm going to make it to school tomorrow.

Why

do I have this feeling that I've somehow overtaxed my achilles. Sigh. What's wrong with my body.

I've definitely pulled my achilles. must be from sunday. Somehow -.-

You need someone to talk to,I'll lend a ear.(speaking figuratively of course)

On another hand,I SEEM TO BE SCREWING UP MY SIGNATURE.

Stupid throat ulcer,really annoying...

NS medical checkup is amazing.

I learnt lots of things about my body.Like, my fat % is 21.2%. I expected ~20%, so yea. That's cool. I'll try to cut to 15% haha.

And I also found that I have Sinus Bradycardia. That's even cooler. You can go wiki it. Plus I have the resting heart rate of an average amateur athlete (I think) of 55 bpm! Hehe. Now, it'll be cooler if I could run like one.

It's was quite interesting,except for the vocation assessment which I definitely screwed up.

Excited for enlistment! :D :D :D

BBQ on the night before NS checkup...why T.T my fat percentage will probably increase by 1-2% :P

Don't know how reliable this is, but it seems like a good read.

I do admit that the remark I made earlier today was a rather rude one. I'm not trying to make excuses for myself, but I wasn't in a particularly good mood. Nonetheless, it was quite unbecoming of me.

Though I can't deny the fact that I don't particularly like him. IMO, everyone has a certain set of boundaries and personal space that should be respected. Well, he doesn't respect other's. Of course, this is based on my own feelings, observations and opinions.

I should stop here. Shouldn't turn this post into a rant.

I just can't help it.
