Great Weekend

Its just been a wonderful few months. Last semester results had been thankfully good for the amount of work that i managed to understand. Praise God for that, since I spent alot of time outside school, trying to lead a normal life with friends and also ministry.

The weekend that passed was one of the most wonderful weekends that I've ever had in recent months (minus the fact that I dint get to see my bro due to field camp, but besides that, everything was great!). Saturday was supposed to be a boring saturday, with many hours planned on conquering MS2008-Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Materials. One pleasant surprise came after another; first, Joseph called for a run (he's slimmed down amazingly, haha), and next, Taiyong called for dinner. We ended up talking late into the night, starting from 8.20pm, we had dinner, then talked at the void deck till 1am.

Another highlight was the YA Games day organized by Justin Sng and team. Prior to that, went to buy a new pair of boots for court playing cos my pevious pair gave way. The games was definitely fun. Frisbee and soccer. I totally enjoyed the games, and even more, the sharing with Kim at the table during dinner.

So to sum the weekend up; a very restful time, sharing with the closest brothers to my heart, as well as interacting with the Young Adult Cell people from church. Not many have friends close enough to share problems with, knowing that they wont gossip abt what i told them. Not many people have people to share the weekend with, like I did. It was just so amazing. Thank God. :). Too bad there wasnt any pictures. haha

Focus

Dont focus on the small things and miss out the big things

Right now, I'm kind of feeling quite down after my chemistry paper. Its not because it was difficult. The questions were not that difficult, but completing it in 2 hours is the difficult part. And the main reason for all the mourning was because of a 5 marks question that I did wrong. But the working was still relevent.





Walked out of the exam hall feeling like I just cheated myself of 5 simple marks. At the back of my mind though, I was thinking 'what would be the most christian thing to do?'. 'Ah, heck that.', I told myself. Last sem, I vowed never to compare answers with my friends. This once, I just let loose my feelings, and guess what I reaped; even lousier feelings. Everyone started complaining, and after listening to all those complaining, it felt even worse. So, falling back to what I told myself last sem, I kinda want to just put this aside.





I walked away from this experience being reminded of how distasteful and tiring complaining can be. Why did I choose to dwell over the 5% and overlooked the 95% that God had so graciously allowed me to understand and answer as appropriately as I could possibly have? If I allow myself to continually dwell on this, then all the talk about trusting in God would really have been nothing but lies.
