Thursday, January 29, 2004 06:41 p.m. if we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like this : There would be :57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the north and south America and 8 African. 52 females, 48 males. 70 non-whites, 30 whites. 70 non-christians, 30 christians. 89 hetrosexuals, 11 homosexuals. 6 people would posses 59% of the world's wealth, and all 6 would be from USA. 80 would live in sub-standard housing. 70 would be unable to read. 50 would suffer from malnutrition. 1 would be near death 1 would be near birth 1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education. 1 would own a computer and if you still don't believe how fortunate and blessed you are. here's more. if you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. if you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. if you can attend church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are more blessed than 3 billion people in the world. if you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. if you have money in the bank, spare cash in your wallet, spare cash to take taxi or dine at a restaurant, you are among the top 10% of the world's wealthy. And if your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare. very interesting perspective indeed. got this article during civics today and it made me realize (again) how fortunate many of us are. how we take things for granted like owning a computer and having a college education, having such good housing, parents (even) and how we're simply able to come every sunday morning to worship. Thursday, January 29, 2004 06:33 p.m. was supposed to have the cross country run today but it was cancelled because it was pouring and pouring and pouring! just what i was praying so hard for! hah. but now, i think it's being pushed to the 9th of feb or something and it's a monday after school and we end early on monday. darn. why can't they have it on our late day? i don't want to run! what if i get lost in the forest or i fall down? i've been trying to connect the computer to the printer so that i can print out cell materials and my father refuses to help and he goes on and on about how if he had a son, the son would know ho to connect and know what a printer port is and whatever. argh. anyway. had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with lydia on tuesday at olio dome and we spent like close to 3 hours talking. she shared about the four traits women should have. submission, integrity, purity and piety. then about having a heart for everyone at cell then i won't worry about whether the passage was good enough, whether this girl likes me or not. talked about faith, being able to see those windows of opportunity to reach out and knowing when to let go and not hold on for selfish reasons. ah. going to so miss lydia when she's gone. well, at least it's only 3 months. she promised to check on me once in a while so at least someone to be held accountable to still. think i better finish up the probability tutorials now. and just thinking about the activities i have this weekend. sure, i'm busy with some school work and several activities but i'm not like super ultra busy? i'm just busy. and sometimes i think i'm busy doing nothing. yes, busy doing nothing. that's what i'm busy with. i think i better start getting busy with revision and proper work. hah.Monday, January 26, 2004 10:18 p.m. A proof of lame and retarded suzy can be.(an extract of a conversation between suzy and myself during GP. she was being nice and was cutting my nails.) me : szu. i must pay you for cutting my fingernails. (she did quite a good job surprisingly. haha) szu : yes yes! me : do you accept credit card, nets or cheque? szu : CHEQUE!! do i look like a credit card machine to you? me : yes yes yes!! haha. szu : (taking her calculator) here's my card machine look! it can even swipe cards! szu : please key in your PIN number. i pressed 666696 and handed it back to szu. szu started fiddling around with it and claimed she can store my PIN number. and then she exclaims with much much joy! " look! i can even trace back your PIN number with a press of shift A!" hahahaha. i really couldn't stop laughing then. realized also that the impressionable case is just like something that happened back in scgs. oh well. things change and people change. walking out of unknowns because i cannot iron out the complexities flowing from both sides. oh well, can't wait for the holiday on monday though! yay. Saturday, January 24, 2004 06:06 p.m. won't you please tell me? had some curriculum planning for cell in the morning followed by cell itself. very fun and noisy but after a while, the noise gets to you and your head starts spinning. but i was contributing to the noise too, so. going for the new year dinner party at my aunt's place now. i'm getting tired of having to go to so many places and to eat. there's like never a period when i'm actually hungry. i need to run. and i need to diet.Friday, January 23, 2004 10:54 p.m. haha. just spent half an hour talking to suzy and we're going to the beach! either next saturday or/and sunday. there's badminton orientation next saturday at sentosa and they're going to play paintballs and go kayaking so i want to tag along! i can't wait to play with paintballs! haha. and we're going shopping next friday! i can't wait! what's more there's a holiday next monday! yay. anybody want to come along to shop and get a nice tan?Friday, January 23, 2004 09:53 p.m. i just read some magazine that an accounts executive with an accounting degree has to submit a profit and loss statement every month! imagine, 12 in a year! and i don't think it's that simple as income and expenditure. i bet taxes and whatever comes in. goodness. what's more she's dealing with huge amounts of money. i don't think i'll never be an accountant. and i think accountancy is a longer course. my, how does she even tally those millions of dollars? today was slightly not so tiring. went to uncle chow's place after lunch to try all sorts of cookies that aunty siew eng made. she's the best baker. her cookies actually melt in your mouth and they don't smell of flour. then headed over to aunty wendy's house. talked and talked then aunty wendy was going to have the chinese ministry come over so mommy started helping her with ideas on how to decorate. efrem and myself went down to jason's to collect the roast pork. managed to talk quite abit since it takes like 20mins to drive down to jason's and another 20 back. efrem's going to be commissioned this wednesday and he's going to be some anti-tank platoon commander? leading some 20 men. quite cool. fussed around in the kitchen when we came back and watched uncle nick prepare the lamb, big fish and mash potatoes. went over to my grandma's place for dinner since the cantonese believe that the second day is the opening of the year or something. then over to my granduncle's house. he's much better than last time but his eyesight has worsened quite a bit more. i love to hear him speak! he's speaks very well and he holds interesting conversations when he ain't too sick and tired. anyway. better scoot. i'm hoping to find some time to actually do some revision and read the love languages book. aye. and i got to find my own way to michelle's house tomorrow.Thursday, January 22, 2004 09:48 p.m. happy chinese new year!! i'm super tired. we went to my grandma's place before heading for lunch at my grandaunt's place then to great grandmother's house and then back to the other grandma's house for dinner. 4 places only but yet it took the entire day. i don't know. feels funny to be in singapore during the chinese new year period. it's probably the first time in 8 years. didn't know how to keep myself occupied except to talk, play with my cousins, eat and eat somemore. plus the weather was so so hot. but yesterday was super fun! had chinese new year celebrations in school then the class had some potluck. the food was great but the few of us girls kept on eating the peas that sophie brought. haha. if only we could play cards too. after that, went down town with suzy and sarah. szu and myself saw a really pretty top at far east! i want to get it with my hongbao money. walked around at scotts with sarah because szu left to meet her friends then i went off to meet this whole bunch of friends at nooch. there was a total of 9 of us? met andrew too and he's like in this classified section of the army dealing with chemical warfare. so cool. i wonder what happens if he tells me where he works. besides, the govt probably wouldn't know that he told me too right? wanted to go to nydc for desserts but it was way too crowded so we ended up walking to crown prince for swensens. kept on talking to shimin about prom and she told me that this girl's mother who owns jean yip sponsored the whole class for a makeover during prom! haha. so cool. imagine the whole class going to jean yip to get their hair done. haha saw tons of people at orchard too. came home to pack the room up. it's so tidy and neat now, i don't even want to start studying there. then went for reunion dinner. i think i'll go running tomorrow morning before all the visiting and eating starts again. trying to upload the photos from yesterday but i don't know why the computer can't read. aye. and i'm finding it hard to talk to some stuck up and irritating people.Tuesday, January 20, 2004 09:36 p.m. this sounds really stupid but today during chinese, laoshi was giving out our vocab worksheet. and she started calling our names. then when she came to me, she read "huang ping guo, hannah" and i was like huh? and she was like, i didn't know you were called huang ping guo! but i didn't write it!! and so i've been accused of writing the huang ping guo! hahah so irritating ok. the entire class was laughing! and i bet it's sarahwalker or jeremy heng! because when we were handing it up, i just wrote 'hannah' and sarahwalker said she'll help me write my chinese name! i don't know which one of them wrote it! argh. stupid. i don't want to be called apple wong. damn. hahaha. sarahwalker! you better take down that notice on your blog! haha i'm not apple wong! i don't want to be apple wong! apple wong sounds so taiwanese and chinese-fied! argh! this is so embarrassing! you better change it quick or face the threat of being kicked to a faraway timbuck land! hahaha.Monday, January 19, 2004 06:52 p.m. "come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i'll give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -- Matthew 12:28-30 well. in fact matthew 12:20-30 was yesterday's message preached by pastor malcolm. but i thought this 2 verses were particulary practical? just like how Jesus asks us to take his yoke, it kind of reminded me not to take too much yokes. and sometimes we become too weary because we bring it upon ourselves by taking up so many positions, too much responsibilities that are beyond our limitations. and how true indeed because if you take the yoke that God gives to you, it shouldn't be burdensome. God's commands are not burdensome. in 1john 5:3 it says, "this is love for God : to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome." So in that sense, it was a good reminder not to take the yoke that God doesn't put in our heart because we can find rest, joy, refreshment in fellowship with Him even when our work gets tiring and stressful. the second thing i brought out of the message was that of Jesus's gentle nature and his humble heart. Jesus gets things done in gentleness. He did raised his voice a few times but there were many times when he didn't raise his voice. when he went about doing things in gentleness. and again, it reminded me of how many things in my life can be done with much gentleness. there is no need for any hint of harshness and there really is no need to push people to their limits just to get things done. and of jesus's humble heart? that we as his servants must be humble. humble enough to let him use us. and not to think that we are great and mighty and whatever because we are leaders or whatever. and it just hits back over and over again that pride must never get in the way. there were like another 5 other practical points that pastor malcolm brought up but i can't remember but i was reminded of these 2 points when i was reading the bible just now. oh well. just thinking of the class situation now. the 22 of us against that one couple. at the begining of the day, i was furious at the two of them because of the many disturbances they caused to the class and they were happy about the disturbances. but what sophie told us during recess made me sympathize with her. as much as i don't want to feel sad and sympathize with her, i just had to. but i was wondering, do i actually need to know what she is going through first in order to sympathize with her? or should i have forgiven her just like what we pray in the lord's prayer "...forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors..." i mean when it all happened, i shouldn't have added fuel to the fire and just understand that she's like that and forgive her? surely i couldn't empathized but i could have shown some sympathy? and then again. maybe i could show some love to her? you know i have no idea why they act in that way they act and i might never understand but shouldn't i love my enemies too? i don't think i can embrace her but at least, be kind. that is one thing i've been struggling since the end of last year. to love my enemies. to love everyone. it's so hard. it's so hard to look beyond that superficial level and love. i'm learningg.Saturday, January 17, 2004 06:42 p.m. i want to go out yet i don't know if i should go out because i haven't finished doing the writing of claims for the camp and there's some homework and a test to study for. what's more i'm going out tomorrow. can't decide now if i should follow my parents out for dinner and do some shopping or meet ronald, alex and lea for dinner at tanglin mall or stay at home and do all the stuff i need to do. i don't want to end up staying up late again tonight doing the claims. aye. i need some rest and time out but i can't seem to put the work down.Saturday, January 17, 2004 06:33 p.m. well if you read suzy's blog, you'll know what happened yesterday. just that i didn't know that there was an excursion to my house and i'm not influencing miss free! haha. i thought instead that there was an excursion to suzy's house! we were supposed to cook dumplings and pasta for the chinese new year potluck and her mother was supposed to teach me. but suzy thinks lowly of me so she thinks i can't communicate with her mother in chinese and her mother would feel so pek chek talking to me. haha. can you believe she suggested we both learn malay or something so that we have a common language? anyway. went to watch school of rock yesterday with suzy and terence. wah. that show rocks. the kids are so talented and the drummer boy is so cute! :) went to see ben skate after that and he's super pro! he can twist here twist there, jump here jump there. and he has this super pro friend too! his jumps are so stylish. haha. oh then we saw people with blue hair, pink hair and purple hair. pink was the nicest out of those three but red's still the colour to colour your hair. blue and purple were just too electrifying. oh yeah! i survived the 4.2KM macritchie run yesterday but i don't like it at all. super tiring. i don't like running. it's so sweaty. i rather have some 4.2KM swimaton or something. cell went well last night. there was sharing and daniel bought some new books but justin lent me the five love languages book so i'll read that first. i spent the day reading and i can't figure out my primary love language? trying to think hard. but the book's quite interesting. it states how like there are 5 primary love languages : words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, physical touch and giving of gifts. and you show love to people through one of those 5 love languages and you also feel loved through your pri. love language. however, if for instance, you feel most loved through quality time, then if someone showers you with gifts, you won't be that loved. and if like you don't feel that loved, your love tank would be empty and that is like how marriages fall apart because spouses don't use their other half's primary love language to display their love. in that sense, the book is interesting because it gives us a better understanding of those people whose love tank are empty and how to reach out to them and love them. good news too! i finally tallied the money for the camp. yay! haha. every single cent accounted for. but i think i delayed it for way too long so sorry daniel, danpek, aunty april, the church office and those people i owe money to.Wednesday, January 14, 2004 09:07 p.m. "there is a difference between a saturday night out and a big saturday night out." that's probably the only thing my father got out of the parent teacher meeting tonight. so he's been harping on it for the past hour. thank goodness my father didn't stay to talk to any of the teachers besides laoshi because she was standing at the table when we walked in. haha. she spoke to my father in chinese and my father replied in english and she said that is excatly what happens when she teaches me. haha. my mother didn't turn up because by the time she found out that the parent teacher meeting was tonight, it was 7.25 and so she couldn't dress up in time! yay. haha. but i think sarah walker's mom thinks that daddy and i are mean because we didn't inform her and left her at home. oops. otherwise, the meeting was okay. daddy and i sniggered halfway during the talk because he said that brother paul makes a good preacher. a slow preacher. haha. things are somewhat begining to look better right now. going to attempt to better manage my time and handle the increasing workload. somehow after the talk, i feel so inspired to study hard.Tuesday, January 13, 2004 06:48 p.m. ran 8 rounds today for pe and on friday, we'll have to take a SBS bus to macritchie for a trial run. great. how are we ever going to make it there, run 4.2KM and then come back in time to shower and eat? all within one and a half hours? couldn't they at least provide a private bus? argh. so not totally looking forward to PTM tomorrow night. i honestly hope only my father presents himself. realized today too that the term tests in week 9 are like a mock exam. wonnnndeeerrrffuuuulllll. why call it term test in the first place? i don't want to go to school.Monday, January 12, 2004 10:53 p.m. very bad day today. super rushed trying to complete all the half done assignments. brought it totally on myself. argh. change of timetable too so we're having a 4.30day. argh. at least something nice happened. mrs loke packed my stuff on the table for me today because it was just piling up and super messy and she even gave tips on how to file properly. feel so inspired to be neater. haha. can't believe it. i wish mrs loke was our home tutor. right now, i need the sleep to fight another pile of work tomorrow. i don't want to go to school. ayee.Sunday, January 11, 2004 06:20 p.m. UNKNOWN CASE. ( yes, ladies. here i go again. i'm frustrated.)i quit. i'm sick of being brought up just to be brought down again. unless you're not quitting, then give light to the wedge, the substitute and let's trash things out. i want to walk out yet i'm not ready to give up. the ball's in your court now. oh please, don't go around guessing what this is all about or even thinking you're part of it. treat it as if i'm telling the ladies something. it really isn't as simple as pointing that something out. aye. anyway realized that on top of my top 10 problems, more are surfacing. plus there's that fine act of balancing the camp accounts! it either i'm short of $35 or everything's okay. got to verify properly again. help! i want to die. and i'm so going to drown in my homework. oh and you know what!!! I HAVEN'T SHOPPED IN LIKE SO LONG. wah. it's been so long since i went down to orchard. one entire week i think. wah. i need to shop. i think retail therapy kills the blues. can you believe i don't even know what's selling at the shops? oh and i found my bobbi brown partner! hahaha. JANICE :) yay yay yay! Sunday, January 11, 2004 06:08 p.m. oh by the way. took out the tagboard, but the guestbook replaces it, so tag/comment there. i so love the black nails on this template. thanks suzy for helping me do the links :)Sunday, January 11, 2004 06:06 p.m. i don't want school to start tomorrow. i still got 6 more GP articles to write on, one econs essay and i have to finish up like 6 pages of the geog assignment. i want to die. shouldn't have spent the entire weekend sleeping and doing nothing. but i think i was like too stoned and too tired to actually touch the work. yeah. went to aunty anne's place for some new year's dinner last night. wah. she cooks the best, the best pasta :) met up with like all those people i grew up with and those aunty and uncles who like knew me ever since i was in my mother's stomach? had church today then cell meeting after lunch. i'm paired up with michelle and deanne and gilly and jacq are in our cell group! haha. got tons to learn from michelle and i'm scared, but scared in a good way. i'm sure there'll be tons of interesting discussions too! and perhaps some occasional outbursts from gilly, jacq and myself. haha. yay! looking forward to friday. homework bids me come now. ah! i wish monday would never arrive.Sunday, January 11, 2004 02:37 a.m. i'm still stuck doing the accounts for camp. argh! i can't seem to balance the amount i have and the amount i SHOULD have. crap. am supposed to submit it tomorrow but i guess i can't since publicity hasn't given me their claims yet and some people haven't paid up. i'm very scared i make some mistake or i forget something. feel so bad because this P&L has been dragging on for eons. aye i need to balance it quickly! i'm so inefficient and lousy!Saturday, January 10, 2004 12:32 a.m. additional pains regarding the wedge, the past, the character, the doubts and a substitute. wondering where this entire thing is leading to. it's so confusing and frustrating. ayeee.Friday, January 9, 2004 11:57 p.m. had cell just now and we were dicussing some doctrines. talked quite abit about the gift of tongues and baptism. one thing that striked me the most was lydia reminding us that our faith must be based and grounded on the almighty God. it cannot be based on some feeling that you feel or on a particular experience you experienced or some spiritual high time. good reminder. something else happened but it's too long to be written here. in short, it again reminded me about leadership roles, time management, effort, considering the outcome of a leader's life and imitating their faith and also importantly, how 15mins of coming earlier to sunday school or cell would actually benefit me and how this can be a bit of a monkey see monkey do. nevermind if you don't get it. yeah. anyway. had dinner with danpek and yado before this huge bunch of people joined us. met yado before that to just slack around and talk at his house and to sit the swings! he wants to run on cjc's cross country day and compete with the ODAC people :) haha. well they have competition since yado's a super fast runner. he came in seventh in the cross country competition. oh and now, i'm super good at the swings! haha school was super slack today and i survived mass pe!! :) yay! had commencement ceremony this morning and got some good progress cheque. double yay! wasn't expecting to get it since i got the edusave merit award but yeah, this made up for it since the edsuave merit award has some criteria where the monthly household income had to be less than a certain amount and i couldn't get it so yeah. probably going to get some good books to read and misc stuff! i want to save some money but yet i found out that the bank's saving account interest rate is only about 0.185%.Thursday, January 8, 2004 08:45 p.m. amanda teo just messaged me to tell me she's going to stay in cjc! yayy! that means the school will finally have some champion pro runner and swimmer! i don't know why she's staying but she's going to explain it to me tomorrow at cell! oh oh, she's coming for cell too! so double yayy! :)Thursday, January 8, 2004 08:39 p.m. super retarded day at school today laughing and doing all sort of retarded/bimbotic things. sang 'don't cry for me argentina' but changed the lyrics and played those knock knock jokes to kill boredom! haha oh yeah! and during math today, mrs loke couldn't remember szu's name so she ended up calling szu, sushi :) haha. so if suzy doesn't do her math, mrs loke will eat szu up since sushi is her favourite food! haha. ah. school will be fun if everyday's like this! haha. the chinese laoshi is nice too! at first i thought she'll be quite fierce because she's the chinese HOD (i think) but she's cool! we're going to be doing chinese calligraphy next week. writing those chinese new year greetings that can be turned upside down :) so fun so fun :) plus, she wastes alot of time. like the first lesson, she spent the entire period asking us to go up to the board to write our name. haha i like this kind of waste time teachers! mass pe tomorrow. argh. don't want to run and do thousand sets of jumping jacks, pushups, situps and whatever. i hope it rains heavily just 10mins before PE starts.Tuesday, January 7, 2003 10:47p.m. you'll be the death of me. Tuesday, January 7, 2003 07:19 p.m. an illustrious holiday affair gone totally wrong.Tuesday, January 7, 2003 05:47 p.m. haha. it's my parents 20th wedding anniversary today! can't believe that 20 years ago on this day, my mother was fussing around with her gown, getting all caked up and just being the queen for the day. haha. school's killing me! i don't understand rocks and landforms. i'm still stuck at applications of integration and mrs loke has already moved on to permuation and combinations. and i can't seem to remember anything about money for econs. aye. aye. aye. i don't like this. plus there's holiday homework. aye. aye. aye. i need a holiday.Sunday, January 4, 2004 09:39 p.m. the problem is not about running away from you or from me.the problem, however, is about running away from us. Sunday, January 4, 2004 09:36 p.m. went for leader's retreat :) going back to sat morning, i think i pretty much saw going to the retreat as a way of escaping reality. the harsh reality of school starting and whatever. i mean, of course i went there wanting to hear God speak to me about leadership positions, fellowship and sharing with one another about the things we want to do in 2004 and considering i was quite worked up on friday during school, the retreat was somewhat like an outlet to run away from homeworks and all but but but it kept on creeping back to me that sprituality and practicality must balance and i saw it even more clearly that i cannot have an extreme of one when i had some sort of a quiet time on saturday night! saw that point and so yes, i'm going to face reality. going to face school work. trying so hard to console myself that it's just one year of hardwork and i've been doing it for almost 12 years. besides all that, leader's retreat was good. there was plenty of sharing to encourage one another, advice, giving constructive feedback for several programmes planned and all! plus there was good fellowship. managed to speak quite abit to jacq, ryan, charlotte, dorcas. so yeah. few boo boos in the retreat like yado's father realizing with much shock and horror that i am that girl who got married to his son during camp and gave him 2 fishes in a fish tank with a pink straw. yes. thank you daniel long for spilling the beans. hahaha. was also trying to make a point that i'm intelligent but somehow contradicted my point and of course came up with some retarded method of conversing with danpek and ryan. haha. other than those also. considering and praying very hard about the leadership positions at cell. indeed there is this passion for the sec3s and the sec4 girls and i'm aware of the committment and i'm ready for it, but it's the calling that i'm most afraid. is there really a calling and all. oh well. though i'm excited about what's going to happen at sunday school this year! :) anyway. back to school. week 1 of the A levels. yay. homework not done. bag not packed. math tutorials not found. pre-monday blues. pre-monday blues indeed.Saturday, January 3, 2004 01:17 p.m. tell me you're not ready to say goodbye.Saturday, January 3, 2004 01:15 p.m. going to leave soon for the leader's retreat. slept at 7 last night. woke up at 1245 to bathe and then slept all the way till 10 this morning. don't know how i'm going to ever finish geog holiday homework, math integration and GP assignments. aye. many lovely thanks to sarah, sophie and szu who listened to my top ten problems and offered all sorts of solutions and advice! thanks ladies! we have to plan our escape routes, our exercise regimes, our study plans and maybe our shopping trips! haha. let's help each other with homeworks, staying awake and mass PE! and we'll beat the term tests, mid years, prelims and the dreaded A's :)i love you all!! big big big hugs all round :)Friday, January 2, 2004 06:35 p.m. schools sucks all the life from me. it drains me of all my energy. i'm feeling so sick on the first day. argh. at least we have a big classroom with 6fans and i'm still between szu and sarah. at least the latest we end is at 3.50pm! but we still got rani for GP and michael tan is still going round catching girls for their socks and skirts and the speed at which the teachers are going to take to finish teaching the syllabus is faster than any bullet train. bleah. quite demoralized already considering i have 9 other issues to handle. i want to swing back to holiday mode.Thursday, January 1, 2004 10:23 p.m. school's starting tomorrow. great. double period PE. don't want to run. don't want to sweat.Thursday, January 1, 2004 11:46 a.m. a wedge came in between. everything's falling apart (again). i don't know what's going to transpire over the next few days and i don't like it at all.Thursday, January 1, 2004 03:50 a.m. happy new year!! :)just came back from supper with a whole bunch of people. hopefully in the new year, things will be better, easier and it'll be a period of growth. and being as cliche as everyone else, i have my own resolutions. bleah. hannah wong's new year resolutions : 1) christian walk : - to learn how to obey God's commands. - to learn how to love without expecting anything in return. to love God. to love my neighbours. to love my enemies. - to move on to a more intimate relationship with him. - to cultivate the habit of doing my daily quiet time even when busy-ness sets in. - to have complete trust in God. - to listen to him. - to lean on him and to commit everything to him instead of solely relying on my own human strength. 2) school/studies : - triple A's and nothing less. triple A's. triple A's. triple A's. - stop procrastination - pay attention during lectures and tutorials, do homework diligently and to be consistent in revision and work - no last minute studying. - to build long lasting friendships especially with the class. i'm going to stick to it. not very simple. so many tough challenges ahead. how how how how how how how. to start the new year right, i'm going to meet szu to |
