well, as can be seen, its been almost a month since i last blogged. many things have happened since then. for one, ive officially finished ALL my first sem's assignments, handing in the last one after i finish this entry. *wipes sweat off forehead* it has been one roller-coaster of a sem - assignments coming wave upon wave, non-stop for at least 3-4 consecutive wks. but thankfully, with God's aid, i waz able to churn out all the stuff on time, and i waz able to finish the whole sem's work w/o any pc in my rm - i depended SOLELY on the comps in the comp labs in sch! praise the Lord!
anyway, im glad its over. this sem passed really quickly, largely due to the fact that there waz so much work to do dat there wasnt really much time to mull over other things. a typical day for me included: wake up for first lesson, then lunch and subsequent lessons or vice versa, then back to hall for dinner. if there's time, i wld do some of my work first. then its either work or watch tv or both at nite. usu i'll stop work ard 12 midnite, coz my hall's comp lab closes then. then i'll spend some time doing personal admin, and usu end up sleeping ard 2+/3+.
looking back, am really thankful seeing how God brought me thru the sem, with lots of new frens made both in hostel and in my nie classes. if you know how impt frens are impt to me, you'd be happy for me. basically quite nice pple in my class. tho there are many grps, but the impression i get is pple are generally helpful. gd to know dat these are the pple nurturing the character of our young. a little ironic, tho, dat i only got to know some of them betta after the sem, like going out together (for karaoke!). but well, i guess r/s take time to develop and deepen, and im juz glad for God providing these pple ard me.

well, when i waz in nus, my discipleship leader alwaz told me abt the imptance of "retreats", ie taking time off regularly to step out of life, and do a stock-take on it, evaluating, or re-evaluating in most cases, life since the last retreat (or since you were born, if u've never once retreated). and i waz quite convicted dat dat waz wat i want to do. but alas, in the past 3 hectic mths, ive been unable to do so, and if i cant do it even now, wat more when i start teaching and get really bz. so i think i need to make up my mind to retreat regularly. retreats are really gd, u noe? if u've watched those kungfu movies, the old kungfu master wld alwaz come out of a 3-mth long retreat and appear more skilled with his kungfu, wat with the 18th level of dunno wat stunt skill. yeah, so there you go..
are you living out your life, or juz getting on with life?
