Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

ok correction. I did ok for my math paper, but my sem. 1 marks came back to haunt me so my EOY average was rather below expectations. Although I am still feeling a wee bit disappointed, I must admit that I improved overall and shouldn't be complaining. Right now, I'm dealing with an extremely depressed and sucidal friend. She's such a handful. I do hope that I have at least some sensible advice or words of comfort for her. Really exasperated with her sometimes. Guess it's part of being a friend, no matter how hard it might be.

Fiel's confirmation is tml and I'm so sad I can't make it. Really really want to be there. But priority-wise, my baptism interview comes first and I need to go for ushering. Hope they will understand. Ok gotta get to writing those personal notes to every single Fiel-er so I'll end here.

This is the second and last day of paper checking. In more ways than one, I've been pleasantly surprised and devastatingly disappointed over my results. Seems queer that for this year's EOYs, I somehow did better for subjects that I'm poor at (i.e. chem) and did really badly for subs that I usually score at. Bleargh. Math was a big disappointment cos I thought I did the paper quite well, and managed to complete the paper. Oh wells. Life disappoints at times. But I just can't stand people who cry over their marks (when they happen to be quite good). Urgh. In bad mood. Going off to get Maths paper now. *scowls*

WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXAMS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER. Which technically means my freedom started yesterday. After being ordered by a certain teacher to stay back longer just to arrange the desks for the Os, we all trooped over to plaza sing's swensons to celebrate the end of our academic madness. It was really a luxurious indulgence. *dreamy smile* Avonne and I shared two "towering temptations"- some fruity thing with vanilla and pistachio ice cream and bananas, and some cookie crumble chocolately yummy thing. Gosh it was sooo good. And that was our lunch. Surprisingly enough, it lasted me til 12 midnight when I had to eat cup noodles at Sara's place. Then after that, I rushed home to take a bath and cycled over to Sara's place (thank God she lives near me) to start our movie-marathon-sleepover. We watched movies non-stop- bring it on, again; boys and girls; new york minute; and the perfect score which by that time had two of us sleeping already so we just went to bed- that was at 3am in the morning. Then we woke up at 8am to Muffy's barking and went to serangoon gardens for breakfast. So now I'm at home typing this and feeling extremely sleepy (and grumpy cos my cousin's not going with me to the award ceremony and I'm missing church), hence this disconnected rambling. Anyways, I can still feel the jubilation of finishing those dratted papers. But my freedom ain't gonna last cos after this I'll be planning PIT camp, CCAO and mentoring my sec twos in organising informal farewell. URGH. I'll try to enjoy it as long as it lasts. I'm praying that I'll do much better for these EOYs cos I really need to pull up my grade (and that the ceremony would end early so that I won't miss too much of service/cell).

For now, I'm off to bed. Ciao.

"Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for sustaining me through this period of examinations, including the preparation weeks. I thank you for the strength and grace you have given me to overcome the obstacles in getting myself to study and for your wisdom and guidance in my exam preparations. No matter the outcome, Father I thank You that You have been so faithful, that with everything paper I commit into Your hands, I walk away from every paper feeling the joy and assurance that the knowledge of Your love gives. You are truly a great and Awesome God. I thank You and praise You, in Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

Ahhh... Just found out that the JOM vacation trip will clash with SP course in December! Which means I'll miss 3 out of 4 lessons. Bleargh. Guess Hannah will just have to go ahead without me *pouts*. But the good news is that the trip will be 6-days long- to langkawi :) Can't wait man, hope Rachel and gang are going, if not it'll really be not fun. And I also hope that I'll get over with that thing early in December so that I can go swimming. Am planning to get a nice even tan without getting sunburnt (which is highly impossible for me).

Ok, why am I talking about the hols when I haven't even started exams yet? Ours is so late (yes I'm lamenting that again). When we go for Worship Ex this week, everyone will be done with their exams and be freeeeeeeee to sing and dance around. And I'll be totally zoned out trying to remember the sine and cosine rule, how waves erode the coasts, the Northern Ireland Godd friday agreement and division algorithm. Urgh. And I'll be serving too. Which means I'll probably not enjoy as much of worship ex but it's okay cos I'm serving God. Will probably mug during free prep time before the doors open. Eep. I needa get a move on and do chinese revision. Got spelling tml. Sighh. But it'll all be over soon. All I have to do is to keep focused and study like mad. And I'll get the marks I want. And then I'll be able to pierce my ears! And next friday, we'll be having our nice movie-marathon-sleepover at Sara's with nice rented VCDs. I'd better get going. To all those who are still having the dratted papers, just hang on and you'll enjoy the fruits of your labour after it's all over and done. (I'm trying to psycho myself here too)

Today was Fea's P.I.T. investiture. I'm really glad that the post PIT invest experience went well. Surprisingly, the envisioning thing I got the batch to go through before we went in to break the news was effective in helping us get into the mood. Treating what supposedly happened as a reality really worked in getting us to show our true hearfelt emotions. I didn't expect the tears to come so easily. Just thinking that one of the little twos we handpicked from a huge number of SLs really brought about a piercing sense of disappointment and sadness. But seeing the Fea spirit shine through, especially when they said their pledge with such conviction and singing last year's board song, I broke down. The part where they insisted that we were being good seniors was especially moving because we know that we haven't done our best. But even then, they accepted us as we were. I suddenly realised how much I love them. Thankfully, it seems that Fea did take it in the right way, and they've proven to us that they'll never let us down. After the reflection and talking to my buddy, I felt somewhat like a parent whose child has all grown up (however cliched it may sound). Though missing the whole experience in sec 2 was traumatising for me, but I learnt to let it go and live with it. Going through this with Fea sort of brought a reconciliation within me. I could truly understand how they felt.

As said in the letter we gave them, this is not merely a board tradition passed down from batch to batch, but more importantly a meaningful learning experience that they'll always remember, even when the going gets tough. What we did for them was different from what our seniors gave us because we didn't want them to start suspecting each other or undermine the whole point of the experience. I can confidently say that we, Fianza, pulled it off as a batch wonderfully. Thank you to all those who held my hand through the difficult parts, and I'm just so grateful for being part of Fianza. The legacy of the board will live on, but its survival rests on the shoulders of those who pass through the portals of RGSPB, emerging as changed individuals who will treasure the significance of that "green black white striped tie we wear."

To Fea, we love you and you'll always be our 'lil twos.

I must say I'm quite glad of how I did for orals on Monday. I'm so fortunate to have Mrs. Shum Fung Sing as my examiner cos she's sooooooo nice! Pregnant with her first child, she made the conversation part really fun and comfortable for me, and the topic was one that I felt strongly about and was doing RS on it so yea, I totally scored with what I said. I love her :) She even said at the end "Hold on, let me put down your grade. And it's a good one." Because I was last, I helped her return the table and chairs to theis original places and went off feeling quite elated. The Christians in my class, namely Sara, Avonne, Anna, Cheryn-Ann, Adelyn and Cyn came together and I led us in prayer for the orals. God definitely shone through by giving me the confidence and self-assurance even when my heartbeat suddenly increased while I was doing the 8-min reading.

Another thing to thank God for is that He cleared the obstacle for me to go for the spiritual parenting course in Nov. Because our school decided to be extra and close school only on the 20th of Nov, I couldn't attend the two lessons of SP course that was conducted on the second week of hols (they start at 1pm). But thanks to God's divine intervention, our vice-principal Mrs. Chan announced today that hols will be brought forward to 5th Nov! Isn't that great? Am so looking forward to after the exams (wanna have a movie marathon at Sara's place), going for SP course with Hannah, doing water baptism, and going for the definitely-will-be-rocking Passion! Youth camp in November. The hols are gonna be pretty busy for me; we're renovating our house so we'll be pretty much vagrants during that time.

Today was quite a nice time for me cos after school, me and my buddy Cheryl Wong went on a shopping expedition to get a farewell present for our senior buddy in time for board formal farewell on friday. We actually planned to go to Taka but ended up visiting Watsons at Wisma and bought this really cute and fluffy blue hairy dog for Jin Yue- for only $10! I hope she won't be visiting this blog before farewell if not she'll know what she's getting. Then we kinda "lobo-ed" around (in Mr. Chia's words, lobo means not doing anything in army speak. It comes from the word "lobotomy" where they subdue crazy psychos by sticking a metal rod up the skull through the eye socket and mashing up the frontal lobe of their brain.) and went home at about 3.15pm, which was earlier than we expected. I hope she'll like her prezzie.

Okay, revision and my chinese textbooks beckon so I'd better get going. Hmph.

Lit. presentation was today (finally) but I think we did quite a bad run of the play, largely because we didn't rehearse properly with all the sound effects and background change. And it was not as funny as we expected! It hardly elicited much engagement in my opinion. I suppose the only commendable thing was our set and props. But coming to think of it, we forgot to get the crown and sword for the fiend to stab conscience (that's me). Ah well. We contemplated re-doing it, but realised that it wouldn't be worth the time- EOYs are 12 days away! And I so need to start seriously mugging. X(

On saturday, my lit. macbeth group had a rehearsal and it was sucha blast! We had sooooooooo much fun doing silly, crazy and downright naughty things, together and to each other. We played the grand piano in the hall, sang with the mike, wheeled each other around the hall on that trolley thinghy etc etc. And it really didn't matter that I was wearing a skirt. Tan Ruo Qi of course took the chance to tickle me silly with me lying on the floor. In revenge, I took her shoe and ran away with it. We played "monkey" with the poor little beany pig, did a really mad version of Stand By Me from the Lion King OST. It was soooo much fun.

Then after that, we went to far east ljs (roy, that's long john silver for you haha) for lunch. There we totally saboed each other by playing truth or dare. Either choice, we definitely made it utterly embarassing and thoroughly enjoyable (for the spectators). We asked really naughty questions. Hoo boy, we made karwei fill in the blanks to describe her hottest fantasy (with a guy of course; e.g. and he put his hand up your shirt and ________ ); the incredulous look on her face and how red she turned was such a precious moment, I'd wished that I had a camera with me. Then after that we dared kaly to go up to the counter guy and say "hersheys makes thousands of kisses a day. can i have one of yours?" We exchanged the cheesiest of pick up lines like "Are you the airport? I can feel my heart taking off now." In the end, roy had to go up to a guy and say that hersheys line thing and kaly had to say "I think you're really hottt." But both of them were sooooo chicken and I was afraid I'll be late to church. So roy ended up escaping the dare (we're not over with you yet roy!) and kaly went to this pretty cute guy at a camera store and said "I think you're hot." That was da bomb! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

It still makes me laugh whenever I think of all those loony and hilarious stuff we did. My dear partners in drama greatness, you guys rock my socks. Really. And the next rehearsal, let's make sure roy does her dare. Maybe can get her to say that line to mr. chua/chia/ong/teoh (there's a philo test tml! eeps) yes? It's be sooo fun!

hoo boy have I been slacking big time today. I woke up, ate brunch, went back to sleep, woke up and ate oreos, went back to sleep again, then I woke up, completed a math assignment and went jogging. That's all I did in a precious holiday of 24 hours! Gosh, I totally squadered away my time. I desperately need to get my revision moving or else... yea it ain't gonna be pretty. And tonight there's the Singapore Idol results... *gigantic sigh*

I slept late last night watching Singapore Idol and The Apprentice. Then I finally got down to sending that overdue testimony to the passion! website before bed. I'm really happy for sis elaine who just got a successful job offer and left her horrible workplace. God is indeed a faithful shepherd :)

I'm totally rooting for Beverly Morata, though she doesn't seem very likeable but I believe she's got talent; she's just misunderstood that's all. She's leading the girls, together with Leandra, Olinda (SHE ROCKS!!!), and coming to think of it, all of them are good. For the guys, I think David Yeo and Sylvester (he looks cute when he smiles) are doing really well. I guess I'm kinda proved wrong in saying that Singapore is totally like talentless, just full of workaholic geeks who score straight As. But the American bunch of finalists definitely beat them face down. Clay Aiken's voice is the paramount of alllllllllllllllllll voices *dreamy look*.

Tonight I think I'm going to be sleeping late again cos I'm got to finish my chinese worksheet and then prepare for my Social Studies presentation tml. (Crap! I have to go to sch tml!) I hope the KS Chee will be available for drama prac tml. Our Lion King adaptation of Macbeth is the ultimate best in terms of comedy and drama. Take a look at our edited-over-a-million-times script and you'll know. I'm sure we'll be the best group in 311. Am just wondering if I should wear what I'm wearing to usher at church for the SS presentation; it'll make us look more like academics.

I kinda glad to report that my grades have been improving this term. Get this- I got 25 outta 35 for the math test!!!!! Gosh I was incredulous when I got that news. Guess I'm not that lousy. But my grouse what that I loss 3 marks to carelessness. *smacks myself on the head* But that itself is a feat I'm glad to have done. *beams* If I can do it, so can you! All you math failures, get out there and show then that the line that connects the external point where two tangents of a circle converge will bisect the angle at the center, and logay = x. Math will be the death of us, but if we can conquer death in Christ, we can conquer math! Rock on 311!

PS: I love you Mrs. Chew!
