exams are like a sumptuous dinner!
when it begins everyone is fired up, fully fueled (more or less) and ready to go
similarly when the food first comes, everyone attacks it with voracious appetites
as the exams go on we get discouraged by some stupid answers, missed out parts in studying, misinterpretation of questions
and as the meal goes on you might eat or drink something you dislike, get fuller and less hungry
and when it reaches the last part of the exam, the last stretch, like now
you just lose steam.
or enter into another of those constant tensions between studying and slacking.
just like at the last part of the meal, where everyone is too full to drool (what the?) and as everyone gets fuller they start asking people to eat more and you enter into this tension of eating more since no one wants it anyway or eating less to keep slim.
THEN there's this last piece of ______ sitting on the plate staring at everyone, and no one wants to touch it.
the HERO(INE) saves the day by sacrificing her figure to eat the last piece to save everyone from the infallible sin of wasting food.
and the same heorine with the same spirit will finish up the last paper with all the vigour and strength left in her.
and know that like how food is a blessing from God, pulling through this is the same. everything becomes a blessing when you put it in proper perspective!
Moving on to my birthday 2 weeks ago. sorry for the late entry post.
thank you Lord, for the trail of 19 years of footsteps you've left with me. i look forward to 91 more with you.

"This is just a beginning of a long race full of short sprints.
Keep your stamina, and know when to sprint when the time requires.(:
We have to keep this in mind (:
A fresh new school term, a whole new experience. I'm still trying to adapt to hall life!
No matter what happens, i want to take everything as a learning opportunity nd to expand my capacity as much as possible(:
Monday night was super tiring, tuesday had bad diarrhoea):
i'm going to have a rest today and come back even stronger on thursday(: YAY
til then everyone!(:

4 camps in a row was indeed a tiring affair and an accomplishment that i thought i would never achieve.
It wasnt really 4 complete camps because of the business and sports camp that ended early due to our dreaded H1N1 virus in the campus.
I would say the H1N1 experience wasnt a pleasant one to begin with. Being the only one in my group in biz camp to talk to someone from the SDE camp had got my ogl worried due to confirmed cases in the SDE camp itself. I thought that i was so close to having the virus as i shared toilets with the SDE camp girls. Little did i expect that i would have such close encounter with the virus in the next camp, sports camp 2009.
Since the start of sheares camp, which i thought so far was the best one, i had been looking forward to this sports camp. Rumours of it being tiring and most money worth as u just pay 70 dollars for a whole lot of new experience. Yes indeed, i get to try things that i would never ever if i wouldnt come for this camp.
Zovball.
is this big rubber ball where two people are "tied" to the insides and allowed to roll down a hill.
WHOA it's super cool! i got to roll down the hill with ren ying and we made a pact that we were not to scream in the ball.
BUT when the ball started rolling down, we just laughed so loudly that we started screaming! HAHA it was hilarious and exhilarating!
OMY i really want another roll down! Alot of my og mates were also fighting to roll the ball down as u get to threaten the people inside and hear their screams and pleas which is really funny.
Paintball.
A short experience but really cool! liike how i used to watch those movies of assasins shooting and firing at each other, paintball paints a mini scenario like that. I managed to run to the front and hid behind the Big tins. Quiite scary to see paintballs hitting the tins. there was one that flew past me by 1mm. i swear it was that close cos i felt it.
Kangaroo spring thing.
Whatever it is called. it was not really very fun but i got to be really tall. It was a great experience in balancing in a spring like bottom and jump around like a kangaroo. and of cos, i thought that the demonstrators there were really pro. they can jump so high!
Night cycling
I must say it was my first time cycling at night and such far distance. It was good bonding session and i must say the guys are really protective and nice(: kudos to the guys in Gambino! (:
We cycled from ecp all the way to kallang then to dhoby ghaut, taka, victoria street, SMU, Arts house etc.. (cant really remember already)
Cable Skiing
Short experience but wasnt a good one because i drank the sea water due to the abrupt drop into the water and was feeling sick after tt ):
Dragon Boating
TEAMWORK!!!!
Had fun paddling
Canoeing
Andy is a great canoe partner! (: he gave me some tips on canoeing. and yeah he said my strokes were good too. hehe
Pool Games - canoe polo
oh my i love this. so fun! i hope to have more opportunities to play this!
OKAY i'll continue blogging tmr. til then!(:

WOULDNT IT BE NICE?
Sometimes we may be so caught up in life that we tend to forget the little things that really matter, it's not the big things that affect us, but the little things that guide our day and determine how it ends...
the smile when you get back when u smile at them
the gentle affirmation when you do something right
the person who bothers to hold the door open for you
the people who bother to say good morning and good night
the little compliment friends make about how nice you look
a simple phrase "it's good to see you" or "how are you"
saying " i miss you " or " i love you"
an offer to buy you coffee or tea even if you decline
a kind gesture of giving you a lift home
a thoughtful offer of helping you to take your bags when you have too many on hand
a nice gentle reminder of your whatever you forgot
a little note or sms of appreciation for your hard work
the call just to ask you how your day is
the person who offers you a tissue when u cry
the person who notices that you are sullen and bothers to talk to you
a simple random gift or phone call to show that the person matters
an offer to send the person home when you know its late
Wouldn't it be nice if I could do all that....?

WHO AM I?
This is a thought provoking and complicated blog post.
Many things happened recently but i wouldnt blog about it all here. Being 5 days away from the deadline of my submission of application for universities, i'm still unsure of which school to choose. Everywhere i go, people ask me so which school which course i want to go etc. Yes, some of you know that i'm inclined to go to NUS because of the culture(:
I've been asking God for a clear direction in which school and even which course i should enter. Small signs had stirred me to try out for the teaching scholarship for MOE, but i'm still unsure if that is the direction i should be going to. If i take up MOE scholarship, i have to appeal and change course to economics.
With a Princess E camp coming up this Thursday means i'll be away from home for like 3 crucial days which upped the challenge of really sitting down to think of which school i should go. Hopefully, i pray that clear signs will be shown to me during the camp(:
This week's gonna be tough for me. I have so many things in my head seriously. I just hope that during this time i can make wise decisions, do right things and stay happy.
Orientation camp- sports camp, Sheares hall camp etc. SO MANY CAMPS coming up! gosh(: 2 more months before uni starts and oh yes, time really flies when u're enjoying it. (:

Time to stop and think
A few weeks ago, a taxi driver's random comment started me thinking.. He said " Singaporeans are always in a rush nowadays. Where are you rushing too, girl? Must reach by what time?"
I was taken aback by his straightforward question. It seemed like he knew that i was going to be late. Anxious, i told him " uncle, i'm late already.. reach by 7pm Changi rise "
Why are we always in a rush to wherever we go? Or is it only me? Do you all feel that there is so much to do but with so little time in your hands?
to be continued...

Random thoughts
RANDOM thoughts in my office(:
I will not confuse what I need with what I want
What we need is called essentials, without which we would find it hard to live, like having enough to eat, a roof over our heads and decent clothes to wear. What we want may be different. It may be food that we love but is expensive.. Do not confuse the two.
Gratefulness is Letting others know by words and actions how they have benefited my life.
I will count my benefits rather than my burdens
How we will look at our circumstances will determine our happiness. If we constantly look at what we don’t have instead of being grateful for what we have, we will become discouraged or even bitter. We should count our blessings as there will always be others who have more and others who have less than we do.
I will listen to criticism
When we are criticized we must separate what is being said from how it is being said.
There may be a lesson to be learnt that may benefit us if we do this. If we constantly adjust our behavior to the criticism we will become better persons and earn the respect and trust of others.
I will point others in the right direction
I will not stretch the truth to make it more attractive
I will appeal to a person’s conscience in terms of character
I will wait for the best time
I will not argue
Persuasion is often more effective than force
“ It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn’t”

Mindful Thoughts
Unexpected things can happen, seriously.
And yes, no escape and Margaret, you must deal with it bravely and properly.
I hope time will solve the problem
By having schedules packed back to back for the past weeks, i could hardly sit down and think things through properly. I could have missed out on so many important things that will only surface in the quiet. so I have decided to take some time off for myself (:
When the doors of life are closed, God will always open another one for you.
You just have to wait patiently...
Wedding Planning was great!(: God has indeed blessed me with many little experiences for me to learn from and slowly discover what my purpose of life is, what God has in store for me in the future.
Experience in New Moon was an eye opener and as a bonus, of course, the perks that came with this job(: No lah, not free abalone! ( I Wish, haha )
Blessings just showered on me continuously and God opened so many routes for me to take.
But i believe there is more (:
