AIYA

My mom left for China over the weekend. I miss her already :( Counting down the 6 months starting.....nnnnnnnOW.

I also had a chance to reinforce a strong bond with Emily over this weekend. he hee. good times =) We made it to airport road without getting lost this time (i think it's cuz she was driving, i was half asleep, eating my Maria biscuits, so yummy).

I had my second last practical today. I said goodbye to some of my students. Kinda sad. Despite all the harassment through email and horrible marking hours, I've totally enjoyed interacting with students and having a chance to encourage them when they needed it. It's actually made me consider teaching.....but nah. Physio all the way =)

I'm so paranoid. I have a 50min presentation tomorrow that's worth 50% of my mark. So anxious.

In need of peace. The temptation to take my eyes off the important things continues to be strong. Where shall my help come from? You know my heart and my innermost thoughts, guard them and keep them pure. May they honor you.

Wow, this entry has been quite random.

Looking forward to worship nite for vcf.
Looking forward to end of Hazards.
Looking forward to the summer... ah...summer =)

I've missed my comfort place =)

The craziness is finally over. The past two weeks has felt like i was reliving second year exams.


I sorta knew this before but it really hit me today a i was on the rowing machine. Earlier, i was in the hidden lab playing with crickets and i heard all this rukus outside. I went out to look and saw some of my students, so we started to chat. After i went to work out and as i was getting off the treadmill, i saw another student. A prayer that i've constantly had over the past 2 years is to have more opportunities to interact with people who are not believers yet. It seemed like such a slim chance cuz i can be really shy. Last semester, i was really excited when i was talking to my one and only muslim friend about what he believed. But wow. I realized today that when God answers, he answers BIG. I find it hard sometimes to show love without being too involved (due to the nature of the relationship). But then i realized, 'pray about it, DUH!!!'. hehe...i'm such a duh duh head.

"Cheeseman, when will you save me?"

It makes me sad when people who proclaim that they are Christians do stupid things, like break families apart.

We had company over for dinner. My mom's friend was divorced because her ex husband left her for another woman- a Christian woman. Now my mom's friend believes that the Church teaches people to break families apart. She asked me if my curch has taught me that yet. It made me so sad.

Apparently she had several other stories to tell about the actions of these 'Christian woman'

If you're not going to be serious about the title, don't take on the name.
