I woke up today with a swollen right eye! You guys know i've got double eyelids. Now my eyelid is like twice as big as the normal size and swollen! I can't open my eyes properly! So painful, so gross, and so ugly! Imagine, swollen eyelid, with an eye that can't open very much. =( sigh sigh sigh!
It's quite irritating how I can't open my eyes fully. Pray for the 'thing' in my eye to go away soon soon soon! Even now! Dear Lord, pleeeeaaaase heal my eye and remove that stubborn 'thing' under my eyelid. I want to go to school for project discussion! But my eye doesn't permit me to do so! So there goes my term break, sitting at home moaning about my eye. Ooops, hold on a minute. I remember Jeff saying something about complaining. (Seeeee! I listen when Jeff was talking!) Okay, no more complaining!
Time to read on about bushido.
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

Well, finally the problem's fixed by removing it altogether. Yes yes yes, many many people have gave up on my blog about seeing too many "angelfire.com, angelfire.com, angelfire.com" thingy in the background. Problem solved by totally removing it! =) Makes me a little happier without people saying my blog's possessed
Anyway, the tag-board's acting up, with the server not working for some queer reason. Somebody explain to me why! argh! I know it takes quite a while to load my blog! But pleeeeeaaaaasssseee bear with it! Apologies!
It's the mid-term break now. Or so they call it. I got my lit essay done, philo paper done, before the break. Deadlines to meet. At least it's over and done with. Thank God!
Let's all pray for more discipline and dilligence for this girl here! Reading right before tutorials quite stressful and preparing for discussions 15 mins before tutorials quite stressful too! (But then I know Joel will stare at me in the face and remind me about my 2 day weeks again...) Oh well, discipline!!!
"He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray."

Starting of school has indeed taught me many things.
Independence. Discipline. Time management. Consistency. Wisdom. Critical thinking. Decision making. Concentration. Focus. Concision. Openness. Forgiving. Selfless. Friendliness. Smiles. Navigation.
My tutorial groups so far have been very encouraging and enthusiatic. So that's great! We're all here in school to help one another and to compare and contrast our personal views on various issues. And we always end up with fruitful discussions! =)
I miss studying music though I don't not like what I'm studying in FASS now. However, I really miss I was still studying music, analyzing the structure of this particular concerto, how does Liszt lead the principal theme to the subordinate theme, which should be in the dominant or subdominant key(depending on the situation) with the transition theme. What kind of modulations happened throughout this passage? Oh man, I really really miss studying MEP! Ok, fine fine. I admit. I miss AC! Not like NUS isn't making me feel comfortable. But it's so different altogether in AC! It's the bonds that were formed within the two years I was there. The unforgettable memories and the trivial moments we have spent with one another. Trivial to the outsider, but not to the participants.
On the brighter side, the modules I'm doing are pretty interesting! At least tutorials are! And so are the information and the materials we're suppposed to absorb for these modules! So that's good! =)

School has started of course, and my 2 day week on even wks and 3 days week on odd weeks still sound pretty good to me. (I can sense some people grumbling away, but who cares! =P) High time to be disciplined, consistent in my readings and showing much more concern for my projects, assignments and assigned readings. Independence in university is indeed crucial. Even with numerous friends around, sometimes you'll still be left alone to complete the assigned tutorial etc.
However, God has blessed me with extremely wonderful project grp members in my tutorials. In fact, everyone I'm working with is enthusiatic and responsible in their work. And I'm glad! Thank God! =)
29th August marks an important date. My baptism. The day I publicly confess of my love for God. I love JC and I want to do all I can for Him. God has been amazing in many ways to me through these months of July and August. Some dual celebrations within these significant dates: 4 July 2004, 11 July 2004, 29 August 2004. Really really significant dates of the year! In many many ways, to many many people! =)
To those in school, make the best out of school life-even though it might seem dreary at times. To those in army, get all the exercise you need in there, simply because you'll probably not find it anywhere else! To those GOING to school (or bumming), spend all these time you have now wisely! To those working, find joy in your work! Now, I wonder if I miss out any categories. Pardon me if I did.
Something I learnt from God's word today is that the destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness. Holiness is not only what God gives me, but what I manifest that God has given me.
God has been graceful and merciful to me in many many ways, so uncountable! God is good!
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice."
