Just As I Am

It's been raining/flash-flooding in S'pore. Again.
Thought since it's January the sun should come out. Looks like we'll just have to wait awhile more. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy the cool nice weather and suffer going to school everyday, stepping on the grassy muddy patch, only to arrive to a somewhat flooded school. Wonderful~~~

Anyway, it wasn't a very bad week after some groans of tiredness previously. (: My rest was replenished on Thur when it poured and poured.

Alright, got back my results except mktg. So far, thank God for everything! Let me maintain and let not pride nor complacency creep in. (: But this ain't prove nothing. There's still lots of other things jas wants to do great good in. Lots of areas to grow & improve.

Speaking of which...
Life is like a balance sometimes. There're bound to be areas at any point in time that's not particularly good. But there'll also be good stuff at that time. Then the bad must increase to become stable and to be balanced. Then other stuff will come in.

It's about balancing. Coping. Managing. Handling. Organising. Whatever~


Not much thought-filled posts nowadays. Just ramblings and on-the-spot stuff.
oh wells~~

Been oh so tired recently. Today's Tuesday and when I ended my lecture before proceeding to studio, I thought it was a Friday!

Psycho proj - almost done~
Econs proj - incomplete
Org Beh - incomplete
Marketing - progressing

Three more to go. Plus the ongoing lec & tuts which seem tougher ever since the term started.

Going off.

The joy of the Lord shall be my strength. (:

This year, it shall not only be a journey of knowing more of Him but others and also myself. J.O.Y. (Jesus Others Yourself).

Anyway...

I attended a sports symposium held in school last night and this morning. Several distinguished sports people came to give a talk. Those of whom I can remember are Mr Oon (CEO of SSC), Mr C. Kunalan (S'pore's athelete) and Mr Khoo Swee Chiao (Mt Everest climber). Others include a sports physician and psychologist.

It was rather interesting. Some parts. Though I can't recall anything now if you ask me. =x Hence shall not elaborate on the content of the talk. Rather...

To cut a long story short...
It would be "natural" to switch off during these kind of talks. But the thing is, as a captain, shouldn't you at least pay attention and ask the rest to listen as well?! Afterall, why come at all when you all can talk play and laugh (and do/compete in word search) some place else. I don't geddit. Yet, me being me, I kept mum. I just don't think it would be nice. Plus, I remember one or two others telling them to listen. But didn't really work.

Think of me as judging, whatever. We'll see how it goes during the upcoming IVP.

Random stuff`

~Realised I love the adrenaline/feeling whenever I'm doing sports. I know I'm focused. All other thoughts worries etc are emptied. There's a main aim for the particular sport.
Or simply, I just love to sweat it out. ha! I won't call myself a sports enthusiast, yet, it sure feels good after some sport or exercise! (=

Had the badminton camp before the year started. Somewhere before Nama Jama 'thanksgiving thingy'. Though initially I was hesistant about it, I came out enjoying the experience. We ran, trained a little and played captain's frisbee and captain's ball, which I enjoyed! (:
I won't say the team is united, in some way. Though this ain't a big part of my life but still do hope we all could bond and glue a little bit more.
Oops, did i like, sidetrack?!... bleah~

~I dont like to talk, I realised. I could perhaps live as a hermit though it'll be real lonely...
The less I speak, the more I find I've lesser things to say and even dont know what to say. I think my crap is diminishing too, am i not right?!

~I wld like my future lifelong companion to possess kinesthetic abilities and better still, kinesthetic and musical combo! =p

~I like detective shows. Those relating to police, codes, solving them etc. Came across on Discovery channel, The New Detectives. So adding that on to my short list of Alias and The FBI files which I don't think they even screen anymore.

Hmm, am I random? or randomNOT?! (=

To a nice, pleasant week ahead.

-End-

Only first three days of school and yet it felt rather long for me. Time to get back to the "school mode". Whatever that means, however you interpret it.

I saw the sky today. The night sky. It could be plain ordinary to you but I haven't seen some stars for quite a while. Each rare time I looked up, it was usually cloudy. But tonight, just a glimpse of the small portion that my eyes caught was sufficient. It is His gift for me for tonight. (:

Let's hope for more beautiful skies ahead. Along with better school days! (=

~~Let Sem1 Term2 officially begin!~~

Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.
-Isaiah 40:26-

I awoke late on the first day of the New Year due to a late night, or rather, morning. Hence missing the sunrise but caught the sunset of the first day of the year. Too bad I was in the car and could only capture it with nothing except the eyes the Creator gave me. The colour of it wasn't one you would see every other day. Not for me at least. Some sort of a pale golden perhaps.

Anyhow, till the point of countdown, my heart wasn't yet settled. Could feel myself giving in to the lies in my mind. After much struggle within, I made my first step- to decide. In or out.
I made my decision.
Isaiah 40 spoke. Not like thunder. But like a cool morning gentle breeze perhaps- slow; gentle. It took me awhile to absorb whatever was written.
None compares to Him.

Of course, there's still more to be unfolded.
More to seek. More to be found.
More... to come.

Let me know Him more. See His perfection; Change my imperfection.

Less of me
More of Jesus.

Welcome 2007!

Let the mindset complement the age
Let the heart complement the Master's
Let the faith stand strong & increase
Let the love bring forth joy and peace

Let her depend entirely on her Father
Let her grow in wisdom and in power
Let her choose to walk in His ways
Let her always trust, and obey

Let her have the Spirit of Excellence
Let Him give her the perseverance
Let it be a year of the Lord's favour
Let many be able to see her Saviour

Let weaknesses be strengthened
Let strengths be made useful
Let His power be manifested in weakness
Let her boast of His creation in her.

Let her heart not waver
Let her soar on wings like an eagle
Let her not only go through the year
Let her grow with the help of peers.

Let her heart be open and tender
Let there be passion and desire
Let her grow closer to Him
Let Him be above all other things.

Let it be;
Amen.


There.
My way of making those new year resolutions. (=
