Roughing it out for Thesis Prep

Don't know why and don't know how
I somehow garnered this immense strength and determination
To cover the major waterways that i'm studying by foot, bus and train.
It was a crazy and tiring journey.
To walk like I've never walked before.
Walked like there's no tomorrow.
Walked till the rubber soles of my shoes all came out
by the end of the 2 days of trekking.
Muscle-ache, blisters on my foot and mosquito bites still itching.
But well, all these tribulations that placed on me
has definitely benefited me.
My stamina and endurance,
enjoyed place-hunting and took buses that i've never taken before.
Seen and visited. Opened my eyes to things.
Luckily Singapore is this small...
if not i wld have take one week, one month or years to do a substantial study.



Trust and believe
Take the first step and just go ahead
Holding back will just impede progress and stagnate your passion.

Tensions...

Has been quite a while since I last quarreled with my sister
Arrghh...over such a trivial matter so more...
Happened just when I sat down to eat my dinner
and she's about to finish already
Then she proclaimed, "So when do you want to use my massage voucher huh?"
And I replied with a sian voice, "I'm not free leh, all my weekends are packed."
Impatiently and annoyed, she said, "Can you watch your attitude of reply to me?"
Feeling maligned, I rebutted back and said that I was merely stating the fact and asked why she kept forcing and insisting that I have to take up the offer. I'm feeling unappreciative. And some more, she throw these questions to me when I'm feeling stressed over my exams the next day and worrying over my thesis. BaH....what a timely squabble over dinner.
She stormed off the dinner table and began her temper throwing feat.
Seriously, at that point, I just shook my head and continue to finish my dinner.
What is really the big fuss? Why is she picking on me at this instance?
She's always quite sensitive about not being appreciated...
for what she buys or does for people.

Anyway, yesterday, somehow I felt the tension.
Maybe it's just me feeling it.
When she's home, we speak a word to each other.
But then again, we seldom talk on weekday nights also.
Tired from school and work.
But yesterday was different.

Haiz...my peace continue to dwell at our homes.

Finished complaining.

November mad rush

Adrenaline rush
Completing endless list of tasks
Tired, worn out and stressed
Yet excited and joyful

Thesis still not well-developed
But alas! There's some direction.
My life revolved largely around thesis,
BLYM and church choir.
And in all these, I know He is journeying with me.
Tt's why i never give up, or resent
And also the sweet gorgeous
always there to support and encourage me
and spice up my life.
And my friends and family.
How blessed! What else can i complain?
Bring it ON!

Oh...the confirmation mass on Sat.
It's another emotional moment for me.
Brought me back to 10 years ago!
With that stamp of the Holy Spirit on me,
I've indeed grow and extend this Spirit to many.
Thank you.
And i tink the youth ministry has connected quite well
with this batch of confirmands.
Really hope we can nurture them well.

Alritey, another week awaits...or rather has started 40mins ago.
Just hoping that I keep my eyes, my heart, my mind and my soul
focused on Him (which is everyone I meet!). Tough yah?...
Come what may!
