I feel so good today! A sense of accomplishment, a sense of achievement...one that is so overwhelming...i just calculated the number of hours i have completed for my nyaa cip...and it turn out that i'm left with only about 2 hours to complete! imagine, only two more hours to go...yeah! After that, i can start to do cip for my school... reflecting upon all these days where i have been today volunteer work, i have actually learnt a couple of things...patience and compassion are two of the things i have acquired. Of course the passion of serving the community keeps me going...i think that even though i started doing volunteer work because of the cca points. it develope the volunteering spirit in me and i always feel good about myself after volunteering...
Secondly, I'm so proud of my PW group members! We have finally completed the draft 1 of our report...We were very serious today when we met...and we spent the whole afternoon and evening at the library cafe to do our report...We stayed there until 9.30pm...we were all so tired when we parted for home...Our endurance, determination to finish the report are things that I'm truly proud of...I hope we will maintain like that and be serious in our work...

What a day to start school this week. It was really a long break from all the work and I finally had the chance to catch up on my work and beauty sleep...
I had quite an interesting day in school today. For GP, we did role-plays...being the advertising agency, production house and the media authourity. It was really a treat for us and a break from the usual GP lessons...
In the afternoon, I went to Biopolis with a few of my friends for the research attachment programme briefing as well as for a meet-the-mentor session. It was still early went we get there so we decided to get a bite at the Matrix Foodcourt. We decided on mango ice-kachang...Imagine! 4 pple sharing a bowl of ice-kachang...funny right?! Anyway, we did it... I also saw some of my friends from other jcs there as well...so, it was considered like a sort of gathering for us too...After the briefing session came the meet-the-mentor session..I was taken to IMCB at the Proteos building together with another girl, Sharon. We were each attached to one researcher and taken around the labs and to get to know the nature of our work. My mentor is a nice guy who make me feel relax. Everyone calls me S.K there. Anyway, we had quite a long talk and I was one of the last to leave IMCB... I was given some literature to read in order to get a rough overview of the field. I was given much antonomy as I get to come up with my own project (but if I can't, then I will have to do the one given and planned by them). In addition, he took me around the place and showed me the various machines, equipments and other places such as the pantry and the dark room...After the session, I am now more excited about the attachment. I can't wait for Nov 16 to arrive!!!

Trust In God
Trust In God
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God how could you do this to me!" he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it :

If Only...
If only we have 48 hours a day
To finish our tutorials, assignments and projects
If only we can turn back time
To undo everything we wish we had not done
If only we have the courage to say a simple "sorry"
To people we have hurt deeply
If only we have the motivation to be the best that we can be
We would feel good about ourselves
If only this world is free of crimes and diseases
With people living happily with one another
Getting along well
Living together in peace
Without riots
Without wars
Without terrorism
This world that we are living in
Would certainly be a more pleasant place
I know it is clinche to say this
Let's make this world a better place for everyone
It just take an individual to get the ball rolling
To spread the good deeds
And soon the rest will follow suit
So what are you waiting for?
Stop reading
And let's get started!

Life goes on
Someone once said: "Life goes on"
Like it or not
Life is really short
The seconds tickle away quickly and quietly
Life goes on
Whether you are in the top 5 college or bottom 5
Life goes on
Whether you have lectures today or tutorials tommorrow
Life goes on
Whether there's class spirit and bonding
Life goes on
So long as you are alive, breathing
Until your last breathe...
Which after that, you will reunite with Father Lord in Heaven...
Watching over this world
Watching over all creatures on this world
Therefore, I urge you people to live each day to your fullest
Spread the love and joy to your friends and beloved!

God's Boxes
God's Boxes
I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
We should consider all of our friends a blessing.
Send this to a friend today just to let them know you
are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life.
A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.
But the treasure inside for you to see,
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
