Just finished my Cyber Security Paper less than 2 hours ago. For brothers and sisters out there who are praying for me, I'll do a bit of updating on my exams.

Last friday was the first paper, and it was maths. For the whole week each morning, I made it a point to spend some time with my God before starting the rest of the studying, and God had been true to His word. I've been able to complete more than I expected with lesser time. By friday, I've never remembered a time in university when I have been more confident in my maths. Not that I was confident that I'll do every question with ease, but there was this peace residing within my soul; the peace spoken in Phil 4:7, that peace which transcends all understanding. Its true, I did not understand this peace, but I know its be there when I need it. Came out of the exam with the peace still residing within my heart.

Ever since university started, I've not really spent time wondering about my ministry in school. Guess my mind's been spending too much time thinking about alot of things which do not matter. Just before entering the exam hall that morning, I met a friend outside the hall, and talked to him little. Amazingly, I managed to pray with him and encouraged him. Didnt expect to do that, but did that i did. Too much time spend pondering without doing doesn't really count I guess.

Today's paper was the same, and like my other maths test, I actually felt that I over studied. Praise God! I finished the paper with much time to spare, and was pondering if i should just get out of the hall, but there was a prompting within me to stay and check through the paper once more thoroughly. By the time i finished checking, my eyes was opened to 8 marks worth of careless mistakes. Hallelujah!

I have three more papers left, the next one being physics this wednesday. Alot of understanding to be done tonight and tml, and tml's tml too. So, I thank those of you out there who are praying for me, and continue to do so, because physics is like a 3rd language to me for now. haha

One thing I must be continually conscious about, is that I do not turn my confidence into pride. By God's grace and through the intercession of other was I able to attempt every question, though not all correctly, and it will be God's grace once again when my results show on the slip. There had been far too many warnings from the bible for such a man who turned proud after a living in righteous comfort. King Hezekiah, the richest king of the Southern kingdom of Judah, led a blameless life till his major sickness, but fell to pride after God had spared his life from death. King Uzziah too, had been recorded in 2nd Chronicles that, 'He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord', but in the same chapter just 12 verses later, it records of his fall to pride, and also his punishment.

Too many are man's mistakes in life, just may I end well.

1 and a half weeks more of studying! haha

Took a day off yesterday from the studying, even though exams is so near. Spent the day in church till a good part of the afternoon is gone, catching up with churchies, and playing table tennis with my bro. Had the liberty of using the car since my dad was in malaysia over the weekend. Sped things up alot, and thanks to the convenience of it, i was able to visit my grandma for the first time in about 2 months. The day ended really well when God allowed my aunt to fetch me back to hostel so that i dont have to waste time driving back home and taking the public transport down to school. Managed to spend quite some time just chatting with God at a very relaxed pace. It was good.

Amidst such busy times, its very easy for me to just keep with the flow of working and rushing. This one day when i forced myself not to do anything school related, it was hard making that decision, but nonetheless was rewarding. The relationships and family ties I had accidentally overlooked suddenly seemed more real to me than before.

Now, its the weekdays once more, and i'm back in hall. This time, all alone. Dont think Jem's gonna come back today or tml, so its just me and myself. Exams start in 4 days. haha.

For brothers and sisters out there, my exams time table are as followed;
20 Nov (fri) 0900~1130 Mathematics
23 Nov (mon) 1700~1900 Cyber Security
25 Nov (wed) 1300~1500 Physics
1 Dec (tue) 1300~1530 Material Science
3 Dec (thu) 1300~1500 Life Science

Do pray for clear mind and understanding of the exams questions, wisdom and knowledge to do and attempt the questions. Most importantly that the peace of the Lord will be with me throughout :D

Friends are one of the things in life that God bless me with, and may faithful friends abound around the faithful.

The last weekend had been one of the most pleasant weekends ever, since the start of school. Friday was Cheryl's birthday, and we had a feast at Tony Roma at Suntec. They sell THE best ribs in Singapore. And more importantly, tony roma tasted so nice because of the Buy-2-Meals-Get-1-free-meal offer that came with a coupon.

This dish was really shiok. The the Onion Ring. Try it if you can. haha.

The Ribs. Oh mine, I would love to be able to cook such nice ribs.

The most important part though, was getting to spend time with my family, especially my mom, whom I havent really talked to ever since school started, because I stay in hall during the week, and hibernate in church on the weekends. Its times like this, that though simple, reminded me of God's grace to me, that He had blessed me with a family.

Saturday was hectic, but Sunday was unexpectedly joyful day for me. I was heading back hall to study right after church at 2pm when Taiyong suggested we study in church. What followed was a great time of fellowship with Taiyong, and subsequently Andrea and Joseph. This is the joy of being in the fellowship of believers, and even more so for close believers. Like downing a can of 100plus on a hot and humid day, is such gatherings to the soul. If I had went back hall right after lunch, i will probably be feeling lonely the whole day, like i always feel in hall. Its a feeling comparable to the "Book-In" feeling for NS boys.

A levels had started today, and though 'shear coincidence', I've taken on this task of keeping the JC2s in prayer. Taiyong was asking the JC2s for their A levels schedule last week and i overheard. I guess its God's way of reminding me to uphold them in prayer. Its a responsibility that I've been shrinking away from up till now. Prayed for them on sunday, a general prayer during my QT, and also today at 2.20pm, after realising that their Maths paper 1 was supposed to start 20 mins prior to me praying.

So, i was messaging andrea for clara's number so i can kinda encourage clara(since my phone did not have her number for some reason or another), and the following msg ensued.

Me: Hey, give me clara's number when you are done. :)

Andrea: XXXXXXXX(clara's number). Whee 1 paper down!! :)

Me: How was it? I prayed for you people at 2.20pm, so if for the first 20min you were struggling, that might explain why. LOL

Andrea: HAHA WAH YOU PURPOSELY RIGHT. I started at 2.10(pm) and got stunned at the first qn!! But i miraculously rmbed how to do it at literally the last min HAHA so drama! Thank God.... (blah blah)

Our God is so hilarious. HAHA
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to say that mine is the only prayer that God listens to. God listens to the prayer of the (any) righteous man(and woman). haha. But just this something interesting to share. haha

Anyways, today is the last session of BSF this year for the Study of Life of Moses. It had been an eventful and meaningful study, opening up my eyes to details of the bible which had not caught my attention before. Also as Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." This year God had exposed me to many thoughts and ideas about the old testimony, particularly the 5 books of Moses. Thank God for BSF and may God continue to bless those who had offered their time for the planning and attending of BSF.
