Packed!

Packed Packed Packed!
My week is almost packed everyday!

I really really need strength from God.
Everyday is like a challenge to me, mountains of homework just come like that.
But luckily this week is better, not as pathetic as last week.

Thank God that this week is better! I've doing things right. So far so good!
I'm very encouraged by my Oral Communication classmates saying that I did well for my presentation! But I feel that in everything I do still can be improved. Sometimes I feel that I should have the urge of being the perfectionist and doing things with fullest potential.

Relationship with my classmates are getting better and better!
I'm really happy to meet them in NAFA and hopefully more open doors would be opened in them.

I can't wait for CG and SVC this week. Looking forward to them to get myself refreshed and rejuvenated!

Stay Delighted!

Delight!

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Yep. Delight!
I've been attending the Prayer meeting every morning for 2 weeks!
I went 9 out of 10.
Woke up at 5.30am and traveled to Paya Lebar.

And on the way I met an old friend from Primary Tuition class at RC.
Its amazing! I didn't even thought we would meet up in the bus, its been years since we last met.

The morning prayer really pumped me up a lot. Its a real good way to start your day!
I love it when I got those cool stickers from the counter. O(≧∇≦)O

Every 5 stickers you achieve you'll get a $10 starbucks voucher! ヽ(▽`)ノ
Now I can go get some goooood coffee!

The morning prayer is more than receiving those starbucks voucher alright..

Here are the bible verses that are on the stickers. I have only 8 stickers though, forgot to take one sticker ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ

BLESSING: 3 John 2
FAITH: Heb 11:1
PROVISION: Phil 4:19
LOVE: 1 Cor 13:13
FORGIVENESS: 1 John 1:9
IMAGINATION: Eph 3:20
RIGHTEOUSNESS: 2 Cor 5:21
ENCOURAGEMENT: Gal 6:9

I hope someone would give me two of the missing verses here.

Anyway! Finally I'm done with my scorpion pop up.
Lets take a look at the pictures!
\(o ̄∇ ̄o)/

Pop Up.

After many tries and prototypes built, I've decided!
Not to make the toilet bowl but instead, make a scorpion!

Any tips? If you have, please TELL ME.
ε-(´・`) フー

Stretch, Stretch, Stretch!!!

This week..
Caused me to stretch out, give out, strain out, drain out most of my energy, time, money, braincells, sleep, (insert word here).

I have to do 3D pop up abstract in a week and I did it in 2 complete days! Yes! what a good news to hear! BUT.
I came to realize that my work is not up to standard at all.

My lecturer John, said that my work is too plain, not really complete.
I was thinking, "what?! I've filled up almost the whole paper with drawings! what do you mean not complete?!".

After the class, most of my classmates all went outside the library to finish up our work.
At first I did not quite feel like touching up my work at all since I got 64/100 which is only a C grade. So I was busy thinking and brainstorming what can I make for my final Pop Up which have to be able to relate/link/connect to my abstract concept.

I was like "..wha".
Totally felt as if I've done something so wrong that I wanted to give up.
Maybe it was because I don't have enough sleep!

Luckily my classmates were there to cheer each one of us up. We supported each other by all kinds of jokes we could think of and even my Classmate Tian Wen started the "Battle-Sheep" joke. (was supposed to be battleship)

Ugh, tired, stressed, burning braincells~ \(--)/

Finally, after an hour or so..
I've colored most of the parts BLACK and I submitted it.
I guess what John meant by complete means the whole background is being covered and it is not WHITE.

I really feel like throwing my work away!
(*・_・)ノ⌒*

But luckily I tried my best to touch it up and resubmitted it and I got 72/100!
I felt kinda relaxed a little. Phew!
ε-(´・`)

And now, I'm gonna like.. make a 3D pop up TOILET BOWL!
And it is due next week.

Every morning I've been waking up super early and every night I've been sleeping late.
Phew! Thank God today's cellgroup was great and really really helped me a lot.

*sleep*..(´~`)

Mother

What? Mother? Maybe you are wondering why is this post titled as "Mother".



I got back home quite late last night and my Mom was nagging and doing the usual scolding and stuff like that. But, it is different this time.
She talked about her past, her childhood life. It was really terrible.

Somehow, I felt that this time my Mom became more opened to me. She is starting to pour out her bitterness that she had been holding. I really hope I could talk to her about some stuffs but I couldn't. It is always the Buddhist thing and my side that is creating a barrier in between.

I really pray hard that my Mom someday would be really opened enough for me to say some stuffs to her but it is now too sensitive for her.

So how do you relate to your mother?
How do you talk to your mother?
Have you ever comforted her?

Usually, I won't even bother talking to my Mom as I thought she is crazy! (Yes, literally.)
I really want to tell her, the whole family loves her a lot and I really want to share my experiences in Church but I can't at all.

I really believe that if I am able to console her with a few things I've learned from the Pastor, it would really help a lot.

I am wondering, how can I talk to her? how can I really get close with her?
My relationship with my Mother has not been that well for the past few years. Even for my Dad too.
I really hope for a breakthrough this year that my family would get really really close.

Any tips for me? Anyone?

Festival of Praise 2008

FOP 2008! It is kinda like a rock concert for Christians that are in Singapore.
It was fun and all but sometimes it might get a little dry.

I went on the first and the second day already and it just gets better.
I remembered the FOP I attended last year which was featuring Delirious' song Rain Down.
The atmosphere was really awesome.

But somehow, I think it is not as good as last year! This is my point of view though.
Maybe it was because the introductions are a little too long winded and the singing is really way too long. I got really really tired after the praise and worship. But when Mark was about to preach, I think everyone really got back their attention. He is a really good preacher! He speaks with so much confidence!

Anyway, I guess I am going for the 3rd day too. So this year I'm attending 3 days of FOP!
Yeah, tiring but I'm excited what is Mark going to preach about.

AHHhh I just need to get some long rest.. ( ̄~ ̄;)
