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

Mm... I haven't updated for a few days already so I shall make up for it with an extra long post. Guess I've been too busy having fun and going out during the double public holidays. But it feels weird, and I feel some sense of guilt too for enjoying myself while all my friends outside of school are studying hard for the coming Os.
I tried going over to Brandon's to study with the rest on tuesday (it was nice of them to invite me and Hannah wouldn't go unless I went) and it was really great to be studying with them again. Though for me, the atmosphere of exam tension wasn't there, it was a good time of studying my greek mythology course notes on Hesiod's Theogony, The Illiad and The Odyssey, which I didn't have the time to finish reading in the duration of my literature option. Both William and I were like, "So, we're both here just for fun." Haha, I was glad to have someone else there who wasn't taking the Os too. He was actually quite serious about studying for a major exam too- the As. He brought a really thick geography A level textbook and kinda freaked me out. A little early but I guess reading up on the JC syllabus is a good way to prep for next year.
Just received a phone call from Renu and found out that I'm nominated for the Most Likely To contest for farewell alma mater night. My first reaction was: "You must be kidding. Did you get the right Michelle? I'm Michelle Lee..." It was only after she told me that it was for Most Likely To Be (school)
Principal that I figured that it makes sense because it's just like my class to nominate me, being a prefect, the advocate of school rules and a person with a rather strict demeanor. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing though. I hardly think I ressemble our principal at all.
Anyways, on wednesday, I spent the afternoon with my mum and brothers at my mum's club. The bowling alleys were newly renovated and the games were pretty affordable since we were members. I thought I was the only one who had enough bowling experience to not totally stink and make a fool of myself but I had no idea that my youngest bro, Amos, was under the tutelage of my primary school VP, Mr. Haniff. He could bowl so well! Almost like a pro, I must say. He totally trashed Joe and me in the first game but I bounced back after warming up to the game to get the highest score for the day- 122. Not too bad for an amateur who only bowls like maybe twice a year.
Went swimming after that but the pool wasn't as functional as it was aesthetically beautiful. I sat at the empty pool side bar (you know the kind where counter is right next to the pool and the seats at in the water) to tan for a while before attempting to swim laps in the small pool. It was shaped more in a circular/ blob-like shape than the rectangular olympic size pool I usually use for serious swimming. The swim wasn't quite as fulfilling because the length was rather short. I enjoyed an half an hour bath at the annoyance of my mother before we went for dinner at Balastier. I definitely want to go back more regularly to try out to gym during the hols.
