SHOUTOUTS

holloa world!
i have survived the dreaded exams, my first in jc!
Praise to Him! for sustaining me in health and mental strength throughout.
Even though i know i havent done my best ( didnt study as much as i would have liked to), like what Phoebe says, He builds strength through weakness and even if i dont do too well this semester, i hope ill be flooded with more diligence and discipline next term!

Thank God that even though i studied for history and lit only the night before, i was filled with inspiration the next day and my pen moved faster than i thought it would. For once in my life, after the papers i felt i didnt need to discuss anything at all, i felt calm and serenity. Like what mark said, he felt so at peace. Amen! God is indeed great! Thank God even though there have been quite a lot of expectations on me this time and even more next term, I didnt really let it get to my head (perhaps a bit too much on this part) and survived the entire event.

This June holidays has been one set apart from the other holidays ive ever had. Firstly, the Literature trip was so much more about UK and France. It was a journey of amazing friendship and since I was travelling with many God- fearing friends, it was definitely a spiritual journey as well. Thats why when people ask me "how was the lit trip?" All i can say is "really really good" haha. even though i know that doesnt really satisfy their curiosity, its just too much to say. :) a holiday in Europe was much more then musuems and plays, to me, it was a new haven away from Singapore. away from the towering buildings and super efficient transport stations and perfectly safe streets.

Back in Singapore I had to return immediately to my responsiblilities in band. the next morning after returning from UK, we had an exco meeting and lunch and preparation for more stuff. and PW was a headache too even though im really grateful my group came to my house! thankew people, even though i was listless and was falling asleep during the day due to jetlag, you guys never failed to understand! and then came finale pracs for the SYF closing ceremony. we made new friends and meeting old friends was just so nice.

then came the studying part. studying has never been so fun!
1) Thank you study groups ( Mark, mark, jeremy, and phoebe) and ( Kahsiong, eric, beatrice) for studying together and having as much fun as i would have liked to during our holidays. thankew for distressing along with me, either at the piano or at pastamania with loadsa juicy stories. haha. thanks eric (his dad) for sending me home after the ghost story night!

YAY TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!
after band and lunch ill be heading back to my ex-second hometown Bukit Timah for VIBE at GLCC, prob with jill and lovely friends i cant wait to catch up with, and then head back to east coast park for band bbq!

Thank God for this much needed wonderful rest - (i finished my exams on wednesday)! :)
