Hello! So today is a Saturday, a much-anticipated break from a hectic school week. Actually not so much of an anticipation because the knowledge of today's appointment with the seniors seniors wasn't something I would look forward to, especially when 9/11 of the people on the current committee are not going. Yesterday was an interesting Friday. For a start, our class had numerous lessons consecutively until late morning. Then we had numerous breaks until noon, followed by a few more lessons before school finally ended. I'm beginning to appreciate life without pdp, but that gave me extra workload too. Haha, since all the other people are most of the time busy, and me almost always free, or rather reltively free-er than them. During the lunch break, Zen and me found an empy classroom where we waited for our next lesson. I read my bible during which I realised many linkage between what was read and what happened around me. It's some kind of spiritual encounter and enlightenment. Suddenly, you are so convinced that, "heys, this makes much sense!" I mean, I used to be an unmoved free-thinker (a devoted buddhist when I was much younger). Then on day, when I was doing my routined reflection, suddenly I was became firm on the stand that I might be able to take charge of my own life. So for many years, I lived life as a free-thinker. Life wasn't that bad, but when you are really down, there just seemed not to be anything for you to fall back on. So those falls really hurt a lot. It's that impactful. Then recently, one day Christianiity became a part of my life? Somehow, it's unexplained. It just happened. Life's full of such things, isn't it? Everything changes, and the only constant is change. Ironical yea? But it's just this way.After lunch we had General Paper. Finally I'm enjoying that period again. For a while, because of the change of teacher, my enthusiasm for language lessons died. But it revived yesterday. We had a whale of a time, the entrie class. Hadn't had a good laugh over a long period of time. Mr Quek wore pink, and had hello kitty shoe laces, and kept emphasising that we were two lessons behind time. These were all made into jokes during his lessons and the class would always burst out laughing within minutes. I guess this must be one of the best, if not best experience I had with this class, which I was already losing hope on. The best joke was when Audrey randomly said that Mr Quek turns pink when he is angry. Good one, dude!Yesteday was Julie's and Wanning's birthday. Both are secretaries of Alpha HC 15th and 16th, and both birthdays fall on the same day. It's meaningful, isn't it? So after school we stayed back to write cards for them. Me and Theen went to the interchange to get them present. We got the both of them the same present- two Kungfu Panda pink shirt. It's pink all over, and looked like aunty's clothings to me=P. Let's see how they will react when we give it to them coming Monday. That's all for yesterday I guess.Quote:Rejection5:3Pharoah would not listen to Moses and Aaron because he did not know or respect God. People who do not know God may not listen to his word or his messengers. Like Moses and Aaron, we need to persist. When others rejects you or your daith, don't be surpirsed or discouraged. Continue to tell them about God, trusting him to open closed minds and soften stubborn hearts.Stubborn8:19Some people think, if only I could see a miracle, I would believe in God. God gave Pharoah just such as opportunity. When gnatsinfested Egypt, even the magicians agreed that this was God's work ("the finger of God") - but still Pharoah refused to believe. He was stubborn, and stubborness can blind a person to the truth. When you rid yourself of stubborness, you may be surprised to discover abundant evidence of God's hand in your life.Persistent9:1This was the fifth time God sent Moses back to Pharoah with the demand to let his people go! Moses may have been tired and discouraged by this time, bt he continued to obey. Don't give up when you know what is right to do. As Moses discovered, persistence is rewarded.Quoted from Student's Life Application Bible (Newliving translation)
