friday was farewell assembly for the sec fours, and for deb tan too cos she's gonna leave to principal the sports school a.k.a. super stinky school (hehe -pokes someone-). the award-giving ceremony was boring, as expected, after all the rehearsals we went through. chuh. i have a picture of zeslene and i looking super bored on stage. oops. speaking of zes, we have some sort of unspoken yuan fen. forever ending up with each other in weird stuff like this. rofl.
then! we surprised dt with our batch item, i only have a vague memory of how exactly it went, but it would suffice to say that it went extremely well. to cut the story short, we went up to class after that and camwhored and what not, got back progress reports. well i really must must thank God for those unbelievable results, and all the lovely people who prayed for me. please, pardon me as i take this chance to show off his blessings:
english A+ (which means >80 !!!)
higher chinese B (from 60-64. a big improvement from C+ last sem heh)
add and ele math A (70-79 this means. i could hardly believe it)
social studies A
literature A
geography A
chemistry B+ (65-69. MY GOODNESS?! i barely scraped through last sem!)
physics A+
overall gpa: 3.56
oh thank You Lord. i never saw better results in my entire secondary school life. thank You for rescuing me just in time by pulling me back to my studies 3 weeks before the eoys, thank You for giving me such extraordinary mugging stamina, thank You even for letting me fall sick throughout the exams so that i understood what it meant to fully rely upon You, and to have no energy at all for any kind of anxiety or worry. finally i thank You for all the innumerable blessings i didnt notice. all glory and honour be unto You and You alone! :)
that sure felt good.
just to sidetrack a bit, i remember chris enlightening us to the meaning of praying God's kingdom come and his will to be done: it means to pray for his kingdom of love to invade into this age of evil and even then overcome it. that's how and why people get healed. o.O cool aint it.
well well saturday. i had the privilege of listening to a very good sermon once again, by samson. (thank you!) it cut right to the root of what needed to be fixed in ypm, and it was really relevant, i must say. touched my heart, and i bet it did for many others as well! yay.
yesterday we had powerpraise, and i had a great time worshipping and being refreshed both physically and spiritually. van completely forgot about first service and i almost had to play. ugh thank goodness she rushed down in time. anyway! luke was being such an adorable brat. !!
"you are SO FAARNIEEEE hurhurhurhurhur" with his slitted up huge eyes and chubby face xD
then we stoned from like 230 to 4 plus at chapel watching thanksgiving rehearsal, with wayne daddei falling asleep on jon's shoulder. and what better time to snap as many photos of him as we wanted! HAHAHA. i cant wait for jon to upload all his pics. damn funny.
then came more stoning. quite bad i must say. me yeening jon wayne jesh just sat at the lobby for like half an hour doing absolutely nothing, just waited for smth to happen. well nothing did. so we just decided to leave, and took 31. i shall not elaborate on what the heck went on in the bus between jon and dad -.- gross is an understatement! lol. so having nothing to do, the five of us trooped to bedok inter to eat dessert. a chee kueh war broke out with us snatching each other's portions xD then! esther saved the day by calling and telling us her mum intended to treat like 15 of us for dinner. (RAHHH you should've seen me grin, and jeshua scolding me :P) but jon hadta go home to studyy. boo.
things got a lot more interesting lol. the rest of us had a really fun time at dinner at no signboard (!) with the usual snatching war-it was peanuts this time- and kind uncle jesh being bullied into being our imperial prawn peeler. LOL sorry unc you love your bro and niece too much xD oh we had COFFEE pork ribs. how strange that i found it nice. and a jug of soft drink cost ten freaking bucks. -.-
after dinner we lured chris to the breakwaters outside again and surprised him when he came up to the restaurant! yays. okay this birthday trick is really overused. it should be the last time we use it xD cant believe we dint know last monday was his birthday. hahaha. and i cant stand the number of november babies i know now! knowing so many people has its bad side sometimes. burns your pocket bad. lol.
ahh jiayou o level people with ss and bio paper 2 today. God be with yall. :)
right now the love song is the stand, by hillsongs.You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand
So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand
So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
SHOW ME YOUR GLORY.
i took a break;
