The Results

And so Iwoke up at 8.55am, praying that I won't do as badly as I think I would. I guess the past few days, if not weeks, I have been worrying about it subconsciously and is therefore unable to eat or sleep well. But thank God for His constant reminders, that I have given my best and that I should just let go and let Him work and not make life difficult by myself. For He said, "who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?" That is so so true.

The examination period was extremely stressful for me because I could not finish studying what I want and the modules that I'm taking were much heavier compared to last semester. Nonetheless, God has proven that He will guide me through. "Ask and you will receive" indeed.

CM1131 was a mentally challenging exam for me because I only had 2 hours of sleep the previous night. I couldn't sleep the night before because I chose to stress myself up for no apparent reason since i couldn't study finish in time and the past year exam papers seem difficult. But amazingly, I went into the examination hall filled with energy and the questions that came out were amazing. Whatever I have studied/read through/glance through, came out!! It's truly a miracle!! But I came out feeling worried because I couldn't answer 2 small questions has high weightageon the marks even though. It was then, where Jesus reminded me that I have done my best for the paper and I should just rest so that He can do His best.

All in all, I thought I wouldn't have done well based on how I answered during the examination which explains why I have been worried about my results even though there's nothing I can do about it. This morning, I actually went to the S/U website to take a look at how I have done for my SS module. When I saw a B, I thought, :hmmm.... not bad, hopefully the rest are better. " But when I logged on to the results page, what I saw made me cry instantly...


I just want to praise God for this is His work and not mine. God has blessed me with 3A-. I was totally shocked and crying uncontrollably. All I can think of is to praise Him constantly. I'm overjoyed because this is so so much better than what I asked for. I've been praying that my cap would maintain, but he blessed me with an increase in cap. This is definitely more than what I ask for. Indeed, God will provide! Glory to Jesus!! Praise God for all that He has done!! =)))

The Holidays

I have not updated my blog for like 4 months? That is equivalent to 1 semester of busy time and indeed, it has past by super quickly. This semester has been very very hectic and tiring and there are definitely times where I was very very stressed out. But praise God for His wonderful presence and blessings for without His guidance and the many good, fun times with my friends that I was blessed with, I don't think I could have endure this journey. This Semester is really terrible because I felt so so tired throughout and I don't think I have the time to revise my work. The motivation wasn't there I must say. But nonetheless, I did my best, and I shall now let God do the rest! =) He has proven to me that with faith all things are possible! During the examination period, there were many times when i felt I didn't study enough or couldn't study finish. But miraculously, the papers came out things that I have actually read through or "glance" through before (except for LSM1401... that is another story). What can I say? God is indeed very very real!

For now, I must start to prepare myself for yet another exam, i.e. Driving! I've finally pluck up the courage to go and enrol for practical lessons. I don't know what the outcome will be like, but I guess, once again, I'm going to do my best and let God do the rest. Of course, I have to start boosting my confidence again.... Haa...

Miracle breakthrough!

A new year

With a blink of an eye, we bid farewell to 2008. Yup, that year has been a very eventful one for me definitely and I give all thanks and praise to God for blessing me with the many experiences and lessons that I receive. There are lots of happy memories for me to keep, interesting life lessons that I've learnt and the wonderful experience of serving God in the music ministry.

Yes, I may be complaining about how busy I am towards the end of the year and how I don't have time for people and things because of my studies and commitments to church and choir. But at the very end, the one big lesson that I've learnt is to trust God and enjoy the process of things. And true enough, my theory/belief of God making time for me if I make time for Him is proven by the results I got for my final exams. They may not be very impressive, the outcome may not be what I hope or expect it to be. But I'm still happy and am especially amazed by 2 of the modules that I took. I didn't do as badly as I thought I would have done for geography (in fact, i think it wasn't too bad a grade =)) and I did quite well for maths even though I didn't know how to do quite a number of questions. The amazing peace I felt throughout the exam period (almost stress-free I would say) is truly by God's blessings and I praise God for all that he has done for me.

Oh wells, now that 2009 is here, there will definitely be more and more challenges ahead. I suppose I will have much lesser time for myself since my timetable is planned in such a way that I finish school at 6pm on non-choir days and even later on choir days since I'm part of the committee now. But I guess, to be even more victorious this year, I will have to put my absolute trust and faith in Jesus for he is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! Yep, praise God for all that he has done and for what is to come! amen =)

Offering

The sun cannot compare
To the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence

No mortal man would dare
To stand before your throne
Before the holy one of heaven

It is only by Your blood
and it's only through Your mercy
Lord I'll come

I bring an offering of worship to my Kind
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus may you receive the honour that You're due
Oh Lord, I bring an offering to you

Back from Japan

My holiday was great!! wahaha... I feel so blessed because everything that is planned for us went very smoothly. And it felt really good to be able to experience snowing, snow and volcanoes. Though I was quite unhappy about the trip before I went, I guess the trip changed my mind though I wished we could have spend a few more days there. Company was great and the things we do were interesting. Wahaha... Anyway, photos of the trip are up on facebook. I will post some when I am free.

After my short trip to Japan, there are many things for me to look forward to and I guess I have very very little time for myself during this holidays.

17/12 - meet cousins
18/12 -meet dai kor then choir practice
19/12 - caroling in the afternoon
20/12 - caroling
21/12 - caroling
22/12 - caroling
23/12 - caroling (release of results!!)
24/12 - caroling
25/12 - mum's birthday
27/12 - cousin's wedding
28/12 - serving for pm service
30/12 - meet andre/watchnight service rehearsal at night (Bidding for modules begin)
31/12 - watchnight service

Woohoo! so happening. And that does not include other meetings and gatherings with other friends and families. So I am seriously having trouble to fit meetings in. Also, I am still clueless about the fifth module which I should take and bidding is like 2 weeks away. So so so busy!! I pray that I wll have time to breathe through this busy holidays and at the same time, enjoy myself because I'm very optimistic about the schedule. Wahaha.... Oh well, whatever that comes, let it come =)

Amazed

And so today marks the end of day 2 of my exams. 3 more papers and I'll be free! But I'm especially relaxed today because I've finally completed the module which I love and yet hate to study - Geography. So yippee doo deh for me! Next hurdle will be inorganic chemistry and I guess I can start my intensive maths cramming programme on Friday.

I'm truly amazed by God's blessings for me. I'm extremely touched and feel so looked after in times of need. Yep, if you do not know, geography has been quite a chore for me to study because I don't have any geography background (unless you count lower secondary knowledge which has mysteriously vanished from my mind since a million years ago). Physical geography was the one that I am very worried about because I don't understand anything about it! Even when I was going through the stuff last week, I was totally clueless as to what is going on. But thank God Daren lent me his geography textbook which explained quite a few things. What amazed me the most was how I was able to answer the exam question today even though I intend to skip that very topic during revision. In fact, I think that very question was the one that I'm most confident in answering compared to the other 3 questions. I'm like very very surprised. What amazed me even more was how I was able to write essay outlines for quite a few past year questions yesterday (which I couldn't last week even though I've finished studying what was required). Yep... how amazing is that! haaa... Praise God!!! and of course, Thank you Daren for teaching me geography and lending me your textbook which you can now take back from me. =))

Alright, so its back to studying and looking forward to end of exams on monday.. woohoo!
