Scrapbooking

I yearn... to scrapbook. It's been a drought for very long now. :D Well, it'll have to wait. Meantime, I can only l o o k and a d m i re the work of others. Better than nothing though. :)

Scenic

The scenery outside my window is so picturesque. The sky has many changing faces... although ephemeral, it feels like slipping into some ethereal subconciousness when I drift off in the clouds... I just enjoy watching the colours and the different shapes. God's handiwork is so awesome. :)

Late

Minutes pass,
then seconds.
Suddenly, the miliseconds
seems to have become poignantly important.

Run
run
run.

The lights turn from green to the glaring red.
Panting
sighing
worry
pounds the mind and
the heart beats in quick staccato,
and almost stops
when the familiar three digit number
on the illuminated placard of the vehicle
comes into view.

It zooms past
and feet patter hurriedly,
helplessly
frustratedly,
across
slowing to a discontented stop.

A look at the hands
of the numbered face,
tells of a wait for the next ten minutes.
Agitated.
Praying hard that the next won't be late.

Trust in the LORD

Today, during devotion, the speaker spoke about these two verses.

(Proverbs 3:5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

(Proverbs 3:6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I felt really encouraged because with the exams nearing, God has been repeatedly reminding me to have faith and trust in Him. The day before (I think) the song played as a signal for as to make our way to the hall in the morning for assembly was about trusting in God as well.

Also, during music, we were doing compositions and I managed to complete more or less, without adding in all the details yet. When I tried to check if my piece was saved in the program, I couldn't do so, the program just wouldn't open. My heart dropped then... what if I had to redo?
Furthermore when the computer was restarting, there was an error, so my teacher suggested checking my thumbdrive on another computer and shutting the current one. I did so but after 1 minute, decided to try switching it on again. Thank God, it worked and my work was not lost. Faith is not easy but it's vital.

Fever

My temperature was shockingly high yesterday at 38.2 degrees celsius reaching 38.4 degrees celsius. So, I got sent home half an hour into music lesson, along with the sandwich made by my caring teacher. Well, in a way, I think the fever was a hidden blessing from God. I haven't had enough rest lately, due to all the tests and I was panicking to study for the test the next day. So, God is good, I managed to go home earlier and sleep... zzz It was refreshing. :D Now, I think my fever has subsided, thanks to God.

We were suppose to do compositions today but now, it's ms P's turn to fall sick. I wonder is it because of me? :D I hope not but that she will get better soon. One injury and then, now, she's not well.

National Day Celebrations

Wowee...!!! Today was a sea of red and white, with some polka dots, which contributed to a patriotic atmosphere. I didn't wear red or white though as I didn't have any suitable outfit to wear, not even red. We had a 'don't forget the lyrics,' competition and NE quiz for the activities. I was part of the team of people who had to participate (by drawing of lots). Fortunately, for me, there was a lack of time and the songs were almost done, (the last few were for the teachers) so I was 'spared.' :D Joo Ye said I looked so stressed... Well I was... haha.

The singing session was great, we sang song after song in the warm morning sun, enthusiastically waving our plastic flags. Groups of people gathered together to sing, where voices intertwined with a similar 'heartbeat.' It always crescendoed to a resounding climax whenever we reached the chorus of the song. 'One people, one nation, one Singapore!'

Oh yes, our chinese teacher, became a Singaporean! How significant, and she made mention of our class. :D (ok, that's beside the point.) I'm really happy for her. She has worked long in Singapore and is a fantastic teacher.

Right, I'll better be off now... la la la la ... Together Singapore, Singapore!

Meeting up

Meeting up,
laughter,
catching up-the exchange of words
passions intermingle
with the clinking of stainless steel against glass.

S mi le
There is never a dull moment,
as laughter resounds, layer after layer
in pleasant, tinkling echo.


It was great meeting up with Miss T and talking with everyone. :D
