My plan to be MIA

There's probably a whole long list of people I miss and a longer list of things I want to do (instead of studying and the endless assignments). I also probably have a thousand and one stories to share.

But for now, please pardon my antisocial-ness because I am highly stressed and my short attention span, plus huge need for procrastination, isn't helping.

Precious Memories(:

I miss mghandbells.

I miss the many performances we had, the many opportunities that we had to turn down (because holidays like Christmas was too important to us. haha), the skill of putting on make up on the bumpy bus rides, the skill of running around in court shoes, pushing the trolley of bells with Tiffany!!

But it's more than that. I miss the different pieces we played and how Mrs Aw really taught me how to perform a piece and really appreciate the music/dynamics. I miss the outings we had after we left, level by level. I miss working so hard with them to perfect a piece. I miss the late night practices. (I miss the 'punctuality speeches') More importantly, I miss belonging to a group with a bunch of awesome people who share the same passion for handbells, for music; who also shared the same faith, where we pray together before practice started and when it ended.

I can still remember my last major performance, how the last song was 'Give Thanks' and my conductor joked about the seniors crying in that song to make it more dramatic. But I guess, there is really a lot to give thanks about; just being part of it was amazing. Oh how I really want to perform just one more time..

Best homecell...

With the most awesome cell ever!!! I'm truly grateful for each and everyone of my members. Also, I'm so proud to be leading a cell of really sporting people, each unique in their own ways.

(Look at Joel, the guy with the balloons.)

I guess through this cell, God has really teaching me so much more about Himself; the biggest lesson is that if I'm willing to decrease and let Him take charge, that He will increase and bless me till my cup overflows.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

⁹But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. ¹⁰That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I love my awesome cell and the many things I'm learning from God through them(:

Melbourne's Weather

I like it how when I personify the weather in Melbourne, I just end up giggling to myself. In a way, it really reminds me of myself and if I was in charge of the weather in any particular place, it probably would be something like Melbourne's. Hahaha. Like how the change is not gradual, but sudden and abrupt, as it tries to catch its deadline (of when to be cold or hot).

And yet this is the kind of 'joke' that when you tell people they give you the -.- face and say 'okayyyy...'

But whatever it is, I'm glad to be in the country where you can experience all four seasons in a day and where the weather forecast is rarely right. It just makes life so much more interesting(:

MG

Today made me realise how much I miss being in a Christian school.

I had a group presentation today and as my group members and I were waiting for tute to start, the first thing that popped into my mind was that we should like pray before the presentation began. I don't know if they are Christians or not, but it's really simple things like this that makes me miss mg so much.

I really miss how we could just pray together before exam began, before doing really anything. I miss the different cliques all sitting together, holding hands and praying. It was cool you know, to be united as friends and also as fellow believers.

If I stay in Singapore, I'm sending my daughter to mg.

Personal prayer for wisdom

"Now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number.

So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.

For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"

1 Kings 3:7-9
