i think the only thing i can do now, is to rely on Jesus and trust in Him to bring me through my crappy preparations for the MA paper tomorrow... i shall study super hard for my BF paper.

Dear God,
please help me pass the MA and the BF paper this time.
That's all i ask of You.
In Jesus' name i pray,
Amen

A lighthearted post.


Himali: "What time's dinner?"
Me: "5.30pm, since lunch's pushed early to 12pm."

At 5.30pm, knock knock knock knock knock on my door.
opened it, masa and himali came to get me for dinner.

at the staircase landing, himali heard ian's voice.

Ian: "Dinner's at 6pm."
Himali: "Really, why? How did you know?"
Ian: "I asked the kitchen staff just now. Dinner's at 6pm."
Masa: "Oh, I am so hungry."
Ian: "It's at 6 la."
Himali: "Are you sure?"
Ian: "Yes."
Masa: "Amanda, let's go and have a cuppa tea, first then."
Me: "Hah... I wanna go back and study."
Masa: "What can you do in half an hour?"
Me: "Half a chapter."
Ian: "Ya."

met magna, ann, cheryl, alvin and more pple who thought dinner's at 5.30pm.
went to really check, and dinner's at 6pm coz the door was closed and tutor tegan said it's 6pm.

back at the staircase landing,

Alvin: "I'm gonna go buy food."
Ian: "Where?"
Alvin: "At APH."
Ian: "What's APH?"
Me: "Australian Pizza House. Are you stressed to not know this?"
Ian: "No."
Alvin: "Ya, you're a Singaporean. You should be familiar with all these short forms."

laughter...

everyone begins to go back to their rooms.

Masa: "Where are you going?"
Me: "Back to my room."
Masa: "For what?"
Me: "To study some more. At least that half a chapter."
Masa: "Are you joking?"
Me, Ian: "No, we're not joking."

then everyone really went back to their rooms to study.. this what happens during exams time.

But, i didn't manage to finish studying half of my chapter coz Masa came in to disturb me, and tried to stop me from studying half of my chapter, which he succeeded. sigh~

Count It All Loss


i'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. i have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made - i'm a disciple of His. i won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. i'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, wordly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals

i no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. i don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. i now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor with power.
