I'm into the 12th hour of stationing myself here at Starbucks. The morning is almost going into afternoon now. I've just shifted my seat and i've noticed that my butt shape has made a mold out of the cushion seat I was stationary on for 99% of the 12 hours I have been here.

I'm really really really very thankful to God in guiding me through. Even though I have not slept a single bit, I have not felt a single bit of tiredness. I think its really amazing. thank God for Mag's and huEy's prayers.

Was working through the first half of the 12 hours tog with leong. Could sense his frustration in trying to complete his assignment. Its so frustrating coz of the lack of direction, lack of resources, and everything felt so blurrish so blocked. i guess we can pray that faced with these situations, we may be calm and know that we do what we are able to. I guess as long as its an effort that we have put in our best, the Lord would be pleased.

Ok, I guess I'll hang around here for some time longer, then head straight to school.

PS: i wish that i am lounging here, with no assignments to rush out. haaha, like the angmohs who stroll in for crossiants, latte and muffins.

Thank God, after almost 10 weeks into university life, I think I've finally settled down. Even though the perennial struggle of catching up with work, meeting deadlines, understanding to absorbing what is being thought, are still very much present, I thank God for settling me into a rhythm of round and about.

Particularly in the past week, the fear of exams is slowly crawling up everyone's sleeves. There are more calls to mug together, and alarm bells, for some, have sounded. For me, as usual, I have been so lax about the entire situation that I've always seemed to be heading towards a black out. But somehow extraordinarily God has been so gracious to me and I've been able to get myself together in time.

Thank God, I've received back positive grades these 2 weeks. Last week, I was so thankful to get my first A (it was an A-) for my media writing assignment. Today, I've added 2 more, in history and my press release assignments. I was totally surprised by my history grade. coz history has been a massive struggle for me since the start.

yeah, I'll continue to press on, and rely on God to give my best effort (i really pray for this).

haaha couple of posts back I said that I wanted to spend the night at Starbucks here in Raffles City.

This place totally rocks. In less than 5 days, I've spent 2 nights here :)

Let's do some constructive work. I'll talk more about my experience the next time

tread the path with me

My Ex Bible Study teacher: 'Hello! Please don't stay up late, go sleep, even though you have no school tomorrow.'

Me: 'HELLO!'
Me: 'haaha ok I will. Thanks for your wise advice'

She went on to say that now that she has gotten a student to sleep, she'll go sleep too.

I am really thankful for my Bible Study teachers who have guided me and walked with me as i took my baby steps as a Christian. I'm thankful to God that I could always count on them for sound advice as they've always been an exemplary example in most ways. I just pray that I'll be capable myself as I take on the same role now, like them when they were guiding me along years back.

maturity, i need to mature now.

Thank God for a wonderful week.

My whole family went on holiday.
Parents, on Sunday night decided they wanted to go Taipei, and they flew on Tuesday morning. I went with Ben to neighbouring Bali, which was really beautiful. But Ben fell really sick over there.
Bro ferried over to Stockholm for a 4 day trip as well.

So yep, my family at one point was everywhere.

Now I've got tons of work to clear.

I've promised myself, that one night, I will work through the night at Raffles City Starbucks (the one just on top of the MRT station). Its 24 hours, and has plenty of sofa seats. yep. doing work anywhere else, home included, is kinda stressful.

I mean, for now home is the best place to do my work. But sometimes I wish I can make a cozzee corner out of the vacant corner of my room. Lay out a carpet, seat cushions, a short wooden table. perfect. Right now, I have this newly bought wooden work table, with a matching chair from IKEA. They were bought by my parents, who are more than eager to provide me with a study table to spend endless nights in front of. I love it too, coz it has a neat and clean feel to it. but it is wonderfully dull and boring, and I'm forced to concentrate on whats on the table, nothing else except the wall that blends perfectly well with the pale coloured table and the light.

Yays! Thank God I've completed my history assignment! :) I think I didn't make a lot of sense but I'm thankful that I've persevered. The assignment is only worth 10% of the final grade, but I felt like I was working for a 50%. Makes me wonder what do I need to do for the other 90% huh.
