Appreciated!

Did YOU enjoy the Youth leaders' appreciation day? I did. I thank God for giving me this chance to work with the youths, and to enjoy doing this with Serene. (: Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen, while watching the youths presenting on stage from the AV room, every move every word, still had this element of surprise. What made me even happier was the fact that the youth leaders were smiling, laughing and enjoying themselves!
I was really touched when the youths prayed from their own leaders.

Thank you FISHERX. You guys had prelims and exams but all of you spent time planning what to do, what to say. I like the box a lot. haha except my face on the box. I look so UGLY (as usual). haha the snacks made me laugh even more. Did you know the strawberry sweet is EXPIRED? haha... oh. And I loved the joke. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. hahaha. WHO CAME UP WITH IT? COME STRAIGHT OUT WITH IT. hahaha. But the brownie and cookies tasted really good. (: thank you so much. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! hehehe. so sad Kenneth wasn't there. hmmm... But glad that he recovered fully. (:

Make sure next year is even MORE memorable k? hahah.. I have high expectations!

Move on guys!

God pulled me through! I cleared all 5 types of basic cardiac life support modules! Ok for all those who don't think very highly of this... When I was practicing all the CPR stuff, I was constantly given a fail grade, and told all the wrong stuff I did wrong. That list kinda included everything that can go wrong. Besides, learning this only 2 weeks ago and only given 2 practice sessions, I inisist that passing it is a GREAT thing. (: Of course with God's help.
You know, I become really hungry and tend to have tremors in the hands. Amazingly, I had no such problems today. Heh.

I got an email from someone special today! (: Unexpected. Sweet. Made my day. Must continue to write to me ok? (You know who you are!)

After this CPR tests and stuff, it's like a huge burden rolled off my shoulders. Not because I have no more tests coming up. In fact I do! I have 2 more exams coming up next week. It's just so good to know that whatever comes my way, I don't have to worry because God is going before me. Each time He pulls me through, I hear this message again and again. It's reassuring.

I drove to school in Monday and Tuesday! How cool is that? haha. Yes. I have been trying to gain my parents trust and confidence about letting me have the car alone! hahaha. I did it. The feeling of reaching school in a mere 20-30 min is... indescribable. Usually, I would drag myself out of bed when the sky is still pitch dark... and travel down the old lonesome road... heh... no... the long, bumpy journey (: to school. Driving makes things SO much more convenient. The joy is short-lived. Dad needs the car most of the time anyway.

School life, has unfolded yet another chapter. I believe that as people grow older, we tend not to look too deeply into certain friendship issues. More because we are matured, can understand each other better. We learn things like psychology and sociology and psychology communication for a reason right? We should be able to differientiate what is truly a problem from making a fuss. Being demanding from being firm... etc...etc... apparantly this assumption is too generalised. Or maybe I was too naive.

How I wish everyone were easy-going, shared the same wavelength, frequency. That would make things so much easier wouldn't it? I really thought it came with age because I can't imagine my friends and I being 50 year old, still having to deal with problems due to insensitivity... it's like in primary school, we used to say "don't friend you" we don't do this anymore at the age of 20! And shouldn't we progress on to another stage?

Having fun

Life seems more fulfilling. Right up my list, is this major event called.... YOUTH LEADERS' APPRECIATION DAY! Yeah I know. It has seemed like I am forcing people to appreciate me. But I really should be appreciated! And I insist that I am not demanding. (:
This has really been a chance for me to work with youths from other CIAs. And getting to see different sides of them. I get to call people I have really never called before! Watch them do stuff, laugh, tell me the not-so-funny jokes, meet them up, and the list goes on. I admit there are some youths, where I only know the name from the directory. I can't even match the face to the name. And that is terrible.
Secondly, I get to work with Serene! hahaha. It's like a trial run before the publicity work for the camp. Ha. (:

Touched

I just had my one week break. It came and flew past... because it didn't feel like a break at all. Too busy settling all those presentations and what-nots. Glad that it's over. The last presentation was completed today. I won't say it was a success. But at least to me, it's completed, over, and I can now focus on the next thing.
God has granted me grades that I am truly grateful for. Yes. It's a relief. When I got my first C for my practical this sem... I realised that there was a necessity to re-shuffle, re-schedule, re-prioritise what and how I was doing things. And after just acknowledging the need, and try coming back, He has given me a confirmation.
When Ade shared with me on how sometimes what others say can be an encouragement on how we are trying to live our lifes, I realised how true that is. What do we want at the end of the day? Or at the end of life?
For me, I hope that somone can say, I touched him/her, and that's because of Christ.
