Anyway, that week was friendship week. Angel-mortal game had been going on for quite sometime. Perhpas too many of them, that I'm losing the zeal. The initial house comm one was a welcomed one, but those that came after was becoming too excessive. So throughout that course of 2 weeks or a little bit more, I think I only wrote 3 letters. Apologies to my unfortunate angel and mortal. 

Track and Field meet is coming up, and while expecting students to uphold certain values, some respectables are not doing that themselves. General Paper lessons analysed the words, irony and paradox. So I guess the former is applicable for such situation? Anyway, birthday is just some days away, but I've lost the initial excitement towards that. Firstly, it's a major major 18th birthday. Secondly, the Sports Captain and the entire Alpha House Committee was kind enough to put the day of Alpha's house event on that exact same date (I've some special connection with the house, so it's really meaningful. Moreover, poor tiongwei has no one to celebrate his birthday with, so the event is really something I appreciated so much). By the way, Rachael Fong has the same birthday as me, so I've been stopping her along corridors, hi-5ing and counting down to the 24th February. 3 more days!

I realise doing block posts of a few days sure does feel a little different from the daily entry. Somehow, when I did the daily entry, I always have the feeling that whatever happened on that particular day is just so different from the other days, hencefore, recording down every detail. Writing a block one genuinely made me forget something here and there (which means they might not have been as significant as I've thought they might have been), so it's really the selective few things to record down.

More recently, like yesterday, Alpha had cheerleading tryouts. I ended school at 1050, but yet only left school at beyond 6. First session of cheerleading reminded me of last year where we first started out. Haha, and I spotted the few successors of the predecessors- us. Shannah being the new Crystal, and Genevieve being the new Krystal, and perhaps Inez the new HanLe. Haha, the more unreplaceable one like me was of course invited into the squad again. Haha, kidding. But we are gonna try our best and win it alright! Go, Alpha warriors=P Haha, I'm thinking since we are the Alpha warriors, and indian element got to be included inside, why not have a indian warrior-themed thingy? Haha, suggestion only, but do not plagiarise ok=P Haha!

Had a long chit-chat with Ms Thangam after lesson that day, about anything and everything. Haha, I decided to tell her everything and anything also, and has gotten the answer to everything, if not most. Haha. Theen Yew, if you are reading this, I've gotten an answer- I trust you, and I will be supportive of whatever you do. Yes, and apologies for that time. ^^

This week's learning point- expectation is bad, especially expectation we place on other people. God told me that via so many possible and impossible ways this week. It was revealed to me, hencefore I will accept it. Heavenly Father, thank you for working in my life all the time, to help me realise myself to become a better person, and most importantly to become a better disciple of yours. For it was mentioned deed is nothing without faith. Uncle Martin shared with us about how our achievement is not ours, regardless of how much effort we've put in. But rather, it was by Your grace and mercy that we were granted such successes. Indeed we have done those things only by You and through You. Thank You Father for being with us all the time. Father Lord, I just pray that You will guide my heart, and help give me the strength to not only concede in face of the guilt of putting expectation on other people, but also the strength to help me slay off the roots of this sin. I hope that this prayer will be pleasing to You, and is in accordance to Your will and not mine. In Jesus name, Amen.

Sinful nature- a fruit of free will.
