Chinese New Year Visitation yesterday with the Sci crusade people... Really thank the Lord for the wonderful time of getting to know them... as I'm new to crusade, yesterday's session was really a good way of getting to know them... really had so much fun visiting people and travelling all over Singapore; ventured out of my usual central, west areas and to the east and north-east...it's knid of fun but a pity that I can't do that often... but then again, if you do that often, there won't be any fun to speak of...
And so, I met up with a lot of new people yesterday... seniors, peers, from different backgrounds, but all having the same love for the Lord and with the same passion to desire more of Christ. Wonderful people of God. So happy to have them as my brothers and sisters- in-Christ. As we travelled from one part of Singapore to the other, via MRT, bus, cab... we chatted and talked about all things under the sun... from worship, church, school, teachers and the good-old sec and jc times... there seemed to have a underlining consensus among many of us that we all miss our sec and jc school envt... (so I'm not alone...) really, there's nothing that we haven't talk about... that's how long we have spent together... and now, I feel much better abt going to sci crusade... though I miss my old dg... but now, with them around, it make things better and the transfer easier...
Visitation began yesterday at Amanda's house... we actually walked there under the hot 1pm afternoon sun from Boon Lay MRT, with me leading the way, for her place is opposite my student's old home... so, we spent so time there, playing games and eating the goodies, after which we travelled to the other end of Singapore to Eileen's place, where we made Bananna Split... oh, no, it's called the Bananna Explosion for artistic and design reasons. Then, we proceed on to Terrence's place for visitation and worship... The worship and the sharing part was the best part of the day... it reminded me of God's love for everyone and that He is always present in our midst, around us... How He is always at work in our lives simply amazes me.
I left around 7 plus to go for my tuition lesson... and thanks to Sharon, Shu'en and I managed to get a free trip to Bugis... Tuition was good too... managed to get to know the student better, in terms of her learning abilities and how she is adjusting to school... Everything is going alright for me... but I will still be prayful in everything I do. Here's a note to everyone who reads this blog, friends and relatives:
As you have realised, I always blogged about how prayer and God has been part of my life. This is so for I feel that God is really a part of my life and that prayers help and He answers them. So, if you have anything you want to pray about, feel free to drop me your prayer requests through via sms or email. I'll be happy to pray for you. [P.S: You don't have to be a Christian to drop me a prayer requests. This is for everyone out there who believe].

Woohoo...post Chinese New Year, pre- start to the school after sem-break... how should I desribe my feelings right now? I really have no idea... the past 1 week have been rather good, thank God for that... I had spent quality time with my bros, my parents... hmm, looks like CNY i a good time for family bonding... we bonded over th extra long dinner on CNY eve and the first day of CNY... plus, everyone is in good mood because of the red packets and yummy good food... That's so much for post CNY thoughts... as for pre-start to school..hmm, I don't think I'm looking forward to it afterall... all you people out there must be shocked... how can such a thing come out from my brains...hey, I know that you all thought that yours truly here would love school since I'm such a nerd right? Well, I used to look forward to going to school back in secondary school and JC... no doubt about that... ha... I love the teachers, and friends... but now, going to school is kind of different... not that I don't enjoy the company of friends or the learning... it's just that I find that uni is really for the self-motivated... there's no one there to nag at you and give you pep-talks. And you know what, I find pep-talks very encouraging and motivational though many will diagree with me... (but Irma would agree with me). And so, in uni, you need to constantly motivate yourself to keep you moving forward... if you, you may just find yourself not wanting to study and move on... and this happens to me quite often... (Huh, another shock of the day for many people out there, ha)... But seriously, I find myself struggling to keep the passion for studying alive in me... But, I must say, I'm not alone in this... I discovered recently that my brother is going through this as well... It was in one of our most random conversion that he told me this... well, actually i's not that random. It started with the concern sister who wants to care for a younger brother who's taking 'O' levels this year. It goes something like that: Sister, S (me): So, have you been studying? Brother, B (still staring at the computer screen with MSN logged on, and a couple of other windows): Huh? S: Do you know what you are in for this year?B: What? S: It's your 'O' level year... B: Oh that... I know... S: And then? B: Then what? S (obviously frustrated at his lack of concern, and partly jealous at his ability to remain so relaxed even though he's taking the 'O's this year and truly amazed by how he could still sit in front of the computer for hours): So what are your plans? B(suddenly serious): Oh, I hope to do something specialised... but I don't know what yet... S (surprised by his reply): Ok, so do you intent to go to poly or jc? B: Hmm... I just put in my best effort and then let my results decide... S (marvelled by that reply): Huh? B: I mean if I do my best and can't get into jc, then I guess I can only settle for a place in poly... but if my results will get me a place in jc, then I'll make the decision later... so, all I have to do is just to work hard... S: Ok...(so he knows he has to work hard)...so, is this how you work hard? (referring to the comp). B: But studying is so boring... I must first find some interesting things to do before doing the boring studying...and hopefully, the interest will be spread... S: Ok (what a lousy analogy, but that sounds like what I will say too). B: But seriously, do you really find studying interesting?S (another shocking remark from him): Well, (in deep thoughts) I used to a few years back... I don't think I can say so now... B: That's why I want to do something specialised and hands-on... it's more interesting for me... S: Ok, everyone has different interest... but no one can escape the studying part... B: True, but I'm not trying to escape... I'm finding the interest to study through games .. it's my tactic... S: Oh... I see... you better get down to doing your homework soon... B (nodded, engrossed in his games)... Yep, so even my little brother is looking for the motivation to study, abeilt the warped theory... But I guess there's a lot of things that I can learn from him... like learning to relax and not be so engrossed in the paper chase that I'm chasing for it blindly... at the end of the day, it's not the paper qualifications we will be concerned about... Press on people... Cheers... and have a blessed CNY.

Wow...time seems to fly (both literally and metaphorically) this semester...it's the sixth week of the semester this week... i've haven't really got the time to sit down to reflect and to organise all my work... all thanks to all the practical reports that I've to do every week... thanks so much... but speaking of labs, they are generally fun... and I stressed that not every lab sessions are fun... especially when you have to clean up and rush for another lecture at engin... oh my, I hate having to rush to catch the bus to engin... so, the impending mid-sem break is definitely welcoming... together with the Chinese New Year...all the new year goodies, fun and laughter... and some people termed CNY as the 'get-rich fast' festival... how true. I heard that one of my JC teachers/ tutors/ lecturers is going to Thailand for missionary work (I'm not sure for how many years though). Amazing isn't it. I also marvel at how God touch our hearts and inner souls to reach out, to spread the good news to others... hopefully, one day, God will use me for that purpose as well. Will be praying for that to happen and also for the missionary work that he's going to embark on. Speaking of which, I'm in the midst of switching to Science Crusade... yep, just met up with the in charge from sci... and she'll be looking for a dg slot for me...hopefully everything will be finalised by next week and i can start dg after the mid sem break... i miss my old dg group... everyone of them...all their jokes, even they're not really funny. I'm now listening to this Chinese hymn, which Si Hui recommended. It's the first Chinese hymn that I listened to... maybe not if you count the Chinese Amazing Grace... anyway, it's a nice, sweet, comforting hymn... shall attempt to look for the lyrics later. I think I better stop blogging here and prepare to go for my engin tutorial. But before that, here's wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. Enjoy yourself everyone.

This beloow quote was taken from the book A Return to Love written by Marianne Williamson.

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God.Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

School has started...just started...so all the tutorial slots are not quite confirmed... but one thing for sure, this sem is much more hectic than the last... just the practicals alone...it's twice that of last sem...imagine the number of lab reports i have to do in the coming weeks... but one good thing about the new sem is that i get to meet my friends back in school... haven't been meeting up with them during the hols... so yep... if I were to think of one good thing about the new sem, this will be it. Anyway, friends do make life easier. Much easier. They listen to do, you listen to them and we all will realise that we are actually facing the same struggles and the good thing is that you realise that you're not the only one feeling lousy about yourself... everyone (well, i expect most) struggle at some point in our life and need a listening ear, though I need more listening ears cos i like to talk to many people about my problems cos i will feel better... i talk to my mum, my dad, and recently, I started telling my bros about my emotional struggle with school... i don't know if they understand, but it's enough that they listen. Over the last few months in uni (that is from last sem), I'm more willing to share my struggles with people... I feel the release of stress after talking to people. And of course, prayers help a whole lot too. So, if anyone's feeling stress or what so ever, do talk to someone. Never be afraid to let someone know your weakness and struggles. Hope we'll all grow with all the struggles and challenges that come along.

Hello 2007. A brand new year; a brand new start; a brand beginning; it seems to be right to talk about New Year Resolutions. I don't like to set resolutions per se for myself, but I do hope to:
1. Be a better daughter to my parents
2. Be a better sister to my 2 younger (read between the lines: mischievous) brothers
3. Be a better friend to my friends
4. Be a better and more independent student in uni
5. Be a better Child of God and walk more closely with Him in my daily life.
Better is a rather vague word. But nevertheless, it serves to remind me that I should be more mature in terms of my thoughts and actions.
Hope 2007 will bring about new opportunities for growth for everyone. Have a blessed 2007 everyone.

Results are out...well, actually, they were out a few days ago... my results are all right... I don't have the habit of publishing my results on blog, so those who want to know can sms me to ask me...anyway, i should really be thankful for the results. I remembered going for dg during the study week...and talking to the grp, evan and evon and being reminded of God's words and promises really calmed me down then. 'Do your best and God will do the rest'; in simple words, you work hard for it, and leave everything else to God. This somehow takes off the burden and stress on you. It may sound simple, but to be truely able to do your best and leave everything to God reqiures tremendous faith in Him. I have to keep reminding myself that He will provide for me in every circumstances. And at the end of the day, you'll find yourself just relying on Him more and more. I realised it in college days, and I starting to feel so more and more. So, I guess, the moral behind this is that God is good and faithful.
2006 is coming to an end. This may well be the last post of the year if I don't post any tommorrow...we'll see. Looking back, this year has been a fruitful year for me in many areas; academic, spiritual and personal growth.
Academically, I did reasonably all right. I mean, given my grades, I can safely enroll for any course in uni, that's what I mean. And in uni, I'm just beginning to learn to be independent and responsible for my own learning. Now, this, I learnt is rather hard and difficult; given that I've been spoon-fed for about 12 years. I miss those days of just opening your mouth (or rather brains) and simply learn what the teachers tell you to learn and study. Those were the days... but yes, life goes on...so, it's more adviceable to be independent in uni...and yes, there's friends around to ask for help... erm, friends.
Spiritually, it's been a big leap for me this year. I joined Campus Crusade and being in a Discipleship Group (DG) really keep me reminded of God's goodness everyday. I am becoming more reliant on His strength day to day. I used to listen to God's words everyday back in secondary and college days during morning devotions and chapel(once a week or two)...but now, there's no morning devotions and so I only have the weekly DG sessions to look forward to. But, in terms of Quiet Time(QT), I think I'm making progress.
Personally, I'm learning to manage time better and to organise my stuff better. With tuitions and studies, I think I have to plan my study time so that I don't compromise my studies and students. That, I'm still learning.
All in all, 2006 has been a fruitful year for me; a year full of learning opportunities and challenges. Hope your 2006 has been wonderful too. Best wishes and have a blessed 2007 ahead.

Christmas is here again. Aren't all of you glad? For this is the day on which Christ was born so that He may save us from our sins. I'll be looking forward to Christmas every year. Not simply because of the good food and presents. Instead, it's because of the greetings that I look forward to receiving from my friends and others around me. I love the greetings, the company of friends and family, the carols and all. But I don't really like the too much commercialisation that's accompany the economy boom. That's not what Christmas is supposed to be! Christmas is about the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. We should be in the celebratory mood not because of the presents that we receive but because Christ is here and in our hearts. This Christmas, may we all join the merry-making with Christ in our hearts. Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Went to Sentosa yesterday with who else, but the SS people; Cheryl, Angela and Lisa. In my opinion, it hasn't changed much since the last time I've been there erm some 1 or so years ago...But, something interesting to blog about this time round... yesterday's trip to Sentosa was probably the cheapest trip I had. Well, first of all, we didn't have to pay for the entrance fee cos of some connections that we had and secondly, our tickets to Underwater World were given to us (courtsey of the SS module). So, people, do choose the correct SS module if you want to enjoy yourself...And so, that explains the cost of the trip there. I guess Underwater World is the most expensive attraction in Sentosa...but if you are a marine lover, then I guess it's worth the money. Afterall, you do get to see some of the rarest marine creatures found in Singapore, SEA or probably in the world. I like Gracie the dugong the most. (Gracie, btw is a name given to the dugong not by me. My bro actually I gave it the name cos I like the name too much). Anyway, I like Gracie cos it looks so harmless, demure, docile and 'huggable'. But beside this dugong, there's many other marine creatures like the jellyfish, sharks, crabs and ...The trip to Dolphin Lagoon (complementary with the purchase of the Underwater World ticket) is also memorable. The performance put up by the 3 pink dolphins is explementary and has won the crowd's applause. They are such clever and gentle creatures. But it kind of pains me to think of the trainings that they have to undergo...I really don't know what to think of this. After Sentosa, we went to Vivocity's Food Republic for lunch...The deco of the food court was that of olden times...1920s China, similar to Food Republic Wisma. And since it's Christmas season, they have some Christmas decorations like snowflakes hanging from the ceilings which in Cheryl's opinion clash with the interior deco of the place. But the food there is quite ok. I'm not a fussy eater and so I don't think I'm in a good position to comment on the quality of food. After luch, the 4 of us went to the rooftop's wading pool and and sat there for the next few hours, though Lisa and Angela left earlier to get something...it was the most interesting part of yesterday. Yes, you've got that right. Just sitting there, taking pictures and enjoying the wind blowing against our faces. And, I must add on...I guess we really have an affinity for kids...boys especially. Cos, some boys came to our area and started splashing water among themselves and you know, soon enough, they started splashing water at us and using their baby talk to talk to us...cute! And, after Lisa and Angela left, another 2 boys came and the same thing happened, except that we understood what they were talking and got wetter. I tell you, it's all Cheryl's fault...ha...cos the boys liked me so much that they couldn't bare to splash water on me and ask me to move away...but as I'm a loyal friend, I couldn't possibly leave her behind...so I stood (or rather sat) by her and got splashed as a result...I think I'm wetter than her seriously...ha. But the feeling of the water soaking through your clothes and into your skin is kind of nice and enjoyable. I haven't had so much fun ever since many many years ago. Soon later, it started drizzling and we decided to seek shelter and continue to soak our legs inside the pool and continue talking. I'm surprised that the skin of my toes didn't get wrinkled. But last night, my legs did have the floating feeling as if I was swimming...ha. Nevertheless, it was fun just seeing how the kids had fun...it's like going back in time and searching for our beautiful childhood memories.
A note to my SS people: I love you girls! Take care and God Bless.

Evangelism Training (ET) Reloaded- 9th Dec 2006; 9am-6pm; M10 Seminar RoomToday's ET was fantastic! I didn't think that it would be this fun and inspiring in the first place. I just went there with the hope that I do fall asleep throughout the session; and I didn't. Instead, I was wide awake. Really have to thank the Crusade staff for making the session interesting. The session was also useful to me, in helping and guiding my walk with Him. Really. I've been feeling kind of spirutally dry these few days, but today's session and all the messages brought up really drawn me back to God. So, yep, praise God for that. During the session, we learnt how about "Living in the Spirit" (Satisfied? Booklet), and how to present the "What you see is not all you get" (WYS) Booklet. (this booklet is really interesting; more about that later), and also about Realising our Mission. I think the "Realising our Mission" section was the most insightful and helpful to me at this point in time. It helps me better understand the Great Commission and how to fulfill this Great Commission. What is the Great Commission?The Great Commission of our Lord is the greatest plan ever given to men, by the greatest Person who ever lived, concerning the greatest power ever revealed and with the greatest promise. The Great Commission is Jesus Christ's command given to the apostles and to every believer in every generation to make disciples. It involves building multiplying disciples in all their generations so that they can, in turn, saturate their nations with the Good News and train their own disciples to do the same, generation after generation. And there's a few reasons why we should fulfill the Great Commission and a few ways where we can help fulfill the Great Commission; first by starting with our immediate friends and family members. I believe that if every Christian commits him/herself to this mission, we would definitely create a phenomenon of 'movements everywhere', where everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus. Indeed When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power to testify about Me with great effect, to the people in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, about my death and resurrection." Acts 1:8 (LB). Every Christian has this mission trusted upon him/her. The testimony shared about Dr. Bill Bright, co-founder of Campus Crusade for Christ is no doubt very inspiring. He was a bright student and graduated with top honours from school and had a very good, bright future (in the worldly context) ahead of this. But instead of embarking on this path, he chose to follow God and commit himself to fulfilling the Great Commission. Indeed, we can see the fruits of his labour today. Thank God for this one obedient man. The following information about Dr. Bill Bright is taken from ttp://billbright.ccci.org/public/. Bright was so motivated by what is known as the Great Commission, Christ’s command to carry the gospel throughout the world, that in 1956 he wrote a booklet titled The Four Spiritual Laws, which has been printed in some 200 languages and distributed to more than 2.5 billion people, making it the most widely disseminated religious booklet in history.In 1979, Bright commissioned the JESUS film, a feature-length documentary on the life of Christ, which has since been viewed by more than 5.1 billion people in 234 countries and has become the most widely viewed, as well as most widely translated, film in history (786 languages). In 1996 Bright was presented with the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, worth more than $1 million. The Templeton Prize isthe world's largest financial annual award. Bright donated all of his prize money to causes promoting the spiritual benefits of fasting and prayer.“He has carried a burden on his heart as few men that I’ve ever known. A burden for the evangelization of the world,” said Rev. Billy Graham, a long-time friend of the Brights. “He is a man whose sincerity and integrity and devotion to our Lord have been an inspiration and a blessing to me ever since the early days of my ministry.”Bright’s work through Campus Crusade for Christ will continue under the leadership of Steve Douglass, a long-time associate whom Dr. Bright tapped in 2001 as his successor. “Not only have I lost a dear and lifelong friend in Bill Bright, but the world has lost one of its greatest visionaries and faithful servants of Jesus Christ,” said Douglass. Praise God for Dr. Bill Bright.
So much for the indoor learning. Before we went out for Street-E (not some new dot.com term, but it stands for Street Evangelism), we have to check-out with a staff or senior- to allow them to check on our skills that we have learnt about street-evangelising. At this moment, I have to thank Weiyan for helping me refine my skills and also my testimony and also for giving me so many pointers and answering my doubts. Thank you so much for that, Weiyan.
And so, here cmes the Street-E part. We were supposed to go in pairs around to share the gospel. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. At least the inital part where we have to take the first step to approach people to share the gospel with. But I'm glad that the Lord still send some people to us. Amen to that! I also have to thank Christine, Joanne, and Evan for guiding me as to how to go about approaching and sharing the gospel with the people. And to the many people who have given us their time to listen to us, many thanks. I hope you all have benefitted from our sharing. My prayers will be with you. And so, we first approached a Chinese national lady, who understands a little English. So, we shared the Chinese version of "The Four Spiritual Laws" (4SLs), in a mix of English and Chinese. I'm glad that she's very open to the idea of Christianity and willing to share with us. Though language was a bit of a problem, I'm very thankful that she can understand us. Next, we shared a little bit of the WYS booklet with 3 teenage girls. They're kind of reluctant in the first place, but it got a little better along the way. I really hope that they would go through the WYS booklet carefully and contact me in the event that they are interested to know more. And after that, we met up with the rest and tried to get more people to listen to the gospel, to no avail. But still, I'm glad for this Street-E experience. My very first. And so, everyone who's interested to know more about the WYS and Satisfied booklet or anything about Christianity and contact me and we'll arrange for a time to meet up to talk about this more. Really, I cannot emphasis this any more- I'm really nothing without God.

This is long time ago business...the trip to RMBR

Wednesday, December 06, 2006

Well, exams are now over and I shall keep my fingers cross for my results...
Anyway, the first post-exam activity this time round is kind of different...it's not the usual post-exam stuff I would do...like going for lunch and then followed by a walk in the mall or something like that...guess what we actually did?! We went to West Coast Park!!! and we walked there! Cool! Well, West Coast Park is actually kind of near NUS...it's just a brief 20 or so min walk from the Kent Ridge Terminal...depending on how fast you walk...The walk there is just an appetizer kind of thing...you wouldn't believe what we did there! At least I did not imagine I will do that kind of thing at this ripe old age...(but come to think of it, I think I'm still quite young... young at heart, oh, whatever). Anyway, back to the main point, we actually played in the West Coast playground and I kind of like that sort of fun... it's so different from my usual idea of relaxation and fun like catching a good movie and reading a good book with nice, hot chocolate in this northeast monsoon season...(come to think of it, I haven't finish reading Three Weeks with My Brother by Sparks...) yep, so, I was 'tele-transported' back to the time when I was young, say 12-13 years ago...the feeling of sitting up there...having the wind blow against your face, looking at all the wonderful creations of this earth...how I wish I am young again...
What adds on to the fun was the rain...it's the first time that i actually walked in the rain without an umbrella. I think walking in the rain can be kind of therapeutic.(and if my mum knows about this, I'll be......)And I seriously think that I will not fall sick due to this reason. Check with me again. But I seriously doubt I'll fall ill. After West Coast, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner...dinner was like the usual lunch kind of setting where you know, the main lead will crap and entertain us with lame, not-so-funny kind of talks...but crapping sessions help. The highlight of the evening...neo-prints! See i told you, we are young at heart. But then again, taking neo-prints is not just restricted to kids and teenagers...we saw a bunch of adults taking neo-prints too alright! I think they are just so cool! I must be like them too. Five, ten, fifteen, and even twenty years down the road, I'll be calling my friends and dragging them to take neo-prints with me...ha! I think adrenalin is building up in me...somehow the more I blog, the more excited I become...talk about the after-effect of blogging. There's so many things to think about now...i better stop writing here. Good night.
(In case you are wondering, the pics were PRETTY...the decorations, and everything else.)

What is a Christian?
- By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
so I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow!

Share this with somebody who already has this
understanding, as reinforcement.

But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can be dispelled.

I realise I haven't been writing a proper post in a long time...the last one-word post is simply to let people know that, yes, I'm still alive though not really kicking. Let's blog a little about the mid term break...how should I begin? Well, the break was filled with tuitions and more tuitions...cos the lessons on the previous week were postponed...how coincidental...oh right...and so, it was tuition from Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs...th HIGHLIGHT of the week was probably tues and fri when I met up with Cheryl, Lisa (on Tues) and Lydia (on Fri). It's been ages since I met up with that GREEN girl...we were at anchor all the way from the morning to night...except when we went for IKEA for a little while...old good anchor... i kind of miss that place...and oh, it was also on Fri that I finally ate the Secret Recipe cheesecake after a long, long time...how I miss it...talk about indulgance...i know it too well. So, that's the mid-term break for me...how interesting it was... Anyway, this week has been a quite a good week for me. It's the exam week. ANd i guess, you all know what's coming...i'll soon be free from tuitions. So, for this week's tuition sessions, I didn't really teach the kids (ok, they're not that young...but calling them kids sound nice), instead, I focus more on stress management, pep talks and all that...i know that i'm not quite qualified to talk about that...but hey, i've been through all that; and it's heartening to hear that one of my students went to St. Andrew's Cathedral to sit and quieten herself before my lesson. I guess I will miss all of them...i'll miss their inquisive nature... miss having them around...but we all have to move on with life...
Talk about moving on with life...Shirley announced during dg that she'll no longer work with crusade...how sad...i mean, we all loved her...i've been talking quite a lot to her...and she's a good listener...in addition, i have a great deal to learn from her in terms of my walk with God. But i guess we can still keep in touch...By the way, tml's Mid Autumn Festival. Got your mooncakes and lanterns ready? Enjoy.
