new season of blessing

Well, lotsa stuff happened in the recent days, but Ireally wanna give glory to God for one particular event :)
As most of u who have come to know me in recent times, I was given this cross pendant at the end of year1 in VJ as a christmas present from my mom. Well, for those who don't noe, this is one special pendant, cuz it was to commemorate my coming back from my 1st mission trip (to Berkasi, Indonesia). During that trip I grew by leaps and bounds and so I asked mom to get mi a cross pendant so that I can be proud of my faith in a way that i never did before.
And true enough, as I honoured God by making this decision, indeed God honoured me back :) Truly, the J2 has got to be one of the best times of my life! Not only was God's blessing in all that I do, I felt a new sense of freedom and power. Even though I struggled many times during the year, I knew God helped me through it all and even blessed me with good results for the As and even a fantastic boyfriend :) And I even discovered a new talents in running and mentoring. But best of all was the spiritual high i had all year. Together with strong brothers and sisters in Christ, I was really stretched to the max spiritually, sharing lives Christian fellowships in S22 and council. In short, life was great :)
And just as i begin my new life in uni and start to forget how life was like being on a spiritual high, I suddenly lose that special necklace... And I looked frantically for it all over the place. It could have been anywhere since i put it in my handbag and brought it all over the place - in hall and then even to marina square to watch a movie. It could have dropped out ANYWHERE! Well, after searching in vain for a few days i was just gonna accept my fate that it was gone and i'd prob have to get a new one this christmas... But of course i was really upset... Afterall that pendant had been with mi for so long and everytime i looked at it, it reminded mi of God's blessing on my life. So I prayed, but i didn't really believe i'd find it cuz it was really impossible to find it if i'd really dropped it anywhere. So anyway, to cut the long story short, I found it. (so anti-climax) I wasn't even expecting to find it as i went up to the admin office to ask (and for that matter i was just passing by, so i decided to try lor), afterall, if someone found it they might have just kept it for themself or thrown it away right? But it was there! What a miracle! I was jumping around telling everyone! Anyway, just wanna give God all the glory :) For me, the re-possession of this pendant signifies the new season of blessing and the new level of spiritual high I wanna acheive this year and in the years to come in KR and NUS :)

On another note, by popular demand, i shall now talk about cute guys in NUS. Heh, of course got lah :P [Sorry ah darling, dun feel so threatened, u noe i'm not the type who'll go for just looks rite?! :)] Mostly seniors living in my hall. In my opinion, sadly, they're mostly outside my block... LQ, i bet if u came here u'll have plenty of eye candy :P But as for pple around sch, maybe i dunno them yet or wad, but i haven't met anyone whom really makes mi go 'wow' lah... but then again, as u noe, not that many pple make mi go 'wow' anyway :P

my 1st day at uni

Yay! today was the 1st official day at school! But actually i only had 2 lectures, so it was just 4 hours altogether! They were both chem lectures (chem's my major, so we have to take these allocated modules) One lecture was too easy and the other was too hard... Dunno wad's wrong with them... I hope tmr's lectures will be better :)

Nothing much to say about lectures, but life sure is great here! The last 2 weeks I've already been staying around in NUS, in Kent Ridge hall, my new home and family, at least while i'm away from home :) the last few weeks were the hols, so the whole campus was rather empty and peaceful, but this morning as i took the shuttle bus down to the science fac it was buzzing with life! And it was just a fantastic feeling just being in it all and busking in the energy! And i knew that i was in the right place, not somewhere overseas where it's supposedly better :)

Anyway, more about Kent ridge hall life :) KR hall like is supersupersuper fun lah! The last 2 weeks were filled with crazy activities and really fun seniors! The 1st week was orientation games, and after that we had to focus on rag and flag day. I was in the rag dance (btw, for those who dunno, rag day is when all the halls and faculties build a float like a chingay float out of recycled materials and present it to the public to thank them for their donations on flag day) so practice was like everyday for like 15plus hours lah! And in the end we didn't win... Some seniors say we'd feel that it was all worth it even if we didn't win, but i did't really feel that way leh... Not that winning was everything of course, afterall we did win last year, and it's reallyreally hard to win in 2 consecutive years, but seems like everyone was expecting so much and in the end we didn't seem to do justice to those who worked so tirelessly... Well, at least the frens that i made and the fun that we had laughing at the costumes made the time somewhat worth it lah... Nvm, we will win the war- next time! hees

Seem to be at a loss for words, I really have a lot on my mind, so many things running through every single day, but i guess it wouldn't be completely appropriate to put it in here... Or perhaps i'm just tired... Tmr got lecture at 8am, better go sleep!

Well for those frens who are in the same boat as mi or overseas (like layqueen) or serving the nation or doing watever, all the best!
