If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else.

Something random: A change of name from 'swine flu' to Influenza A (H1N1) virus. Yeah, keep reading the news/paper, about personal hygiene as well. US President Barack Obama almost got hit by Influenza A, thank God it didn't happen. Then I read about being a journalist could be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, with rising rates of media workers getting kidnapped, killed, arrested & some even serving sentence in jail. They were just doing their job. It led me to wonder what happened to the Freedom of 'Speech' that the society, or rather the world, always advocate. I guess it's not a matter of fairness anymore, since 130 journalists have been killed over the past 30 years, some not even knowing the reason why. So, where has justice gone to?


Last week's OCIP meeting was great. Hmm, Jeslyn, Amanda, Eliz & Lorayne got in too! :) Okay, the school's proposing to go to Nepal. Ah so excited. Anyway, we'll kick off with a team bonding at Yishun Student Care on 5th June, which obviously falls on the last day of Pre-U Sem. Yeah, but I'm quite sure I'm not needed on the last day, unless Mr Teo has any tasks for me. Yup, so back to the student care centre, we've to start planning the activities for the kids on the 2nd day of their Brain Booster Camp. Hahah, more to be done.


Labour Day.

Met up with Donavan, Yang Ling, Sye Mun, MinHui, Samuel, Gilbert, Rong Li & SengMeng! Manhattan Fish Market at Clarke Quay, followed by a nearby pub introduced by Yangling. Man, that girl is changing. Haha, kidding (: Well, Fashion Bar was good. Saw Paul Twohill with his friends. The day ended sweet! Meet up soon :D Photos below, more in Facebook.





















(:

Sam took this.



Saturday.

Met LingJia at 11am in church, she's battling with Project Work, so went to see if I could be of any help. Her project idea's quite interesting, hopefully she will be able to do well. So much for "deleting" the words to meet the word limit :) Even though we're of the same age, she's one the few whom I really look up to, be it her character or attitude. From the day she told me how she got into Sajc, I knew she's someone who places God first. It's not easy, I must say. There, a live example for me to follow & learn.

Dinner with cell at Thomson area after Youth Ablaze, then to Icekimo for dessert.









Thanks so much. :)

May babies :D






Even though I was out for the past few days, thank God for the discipline in completing the 7-8 assignments way before the deadline. No doubt that it meant lesser time to sleep, but I'm fine with it since I think that sleeping's quite a waste of time.

Tried to get myself to sleep on Sunday night, & before I realise, it's time for school. A torture for me when lessons ended at 2.40pm, & I had Econs essay test at 6pm. The thing is I can't fall asleep any elsewhere except on my bed. So yeah, did a bit of revision & survived through the test which ended at 7pm. Dinner with Ryan, Ian, Kimberlyn & LiuJen at Pizza Hut. Pretty random, I know. Haha. By the time I got home, crashed at 11pm.

Dental appointment later, so no school for me! :D Hah. Pre-U Sem meeting tomorrow, & OCIP meeting on Friday. A' div Tchoukball competition on Friday too, all the best Innova! Training, training, training.

Also, thank you Doreen for sending me a sms containing this verse:
Hebrews 11:6 - "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exist & that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

Indeed, it's only this year when I've so many commitments revolving around me. It's also a reminder that I need to be more focused than anyone else, because if I don't, I'm gonna fall really badly. Thank God, the verse came in time. PTL :) Faith.
