Pack, pack, pack.. Ack..

My backpack and suitcase has NO more space. Goodness. How can there be NO space? I have only packed rather little things. Oh no. Must figure a way out. It's 4.39am and I'm still packing. Better get used to this.

Took my own sweet time to check the results today. Didn't feel like checking it because I screwed up my papers. But. God never fails to amaze. The results I saw was quite unbelievable considering that 30 plus marks were deducted after every post-mortem of the exam paper done by comparing against the notes. I am in awe God. I thought I did get Cs, but the lowest grade was B. I'm no straight A student, if I were, it'll be unfair to those who started mugging 2-3 weeks before the exams. I started really late this sem, to the point that I gave up on the later papers, cramming only the day before. So, I give a BIG thank you to God above, coz this sem's results are especially important to me as they make up my whole yr's grades. Grades from the exchange are not counted. So actually, it's pointless to score As in Georgia. Meaning that I can slack. Muahahaha.

Yea right. Think God will be happy if I slack? Definitely not. I will continue to work hard, but maybe He has other stuff for me to work on, not so much on the grade grinding? What matters is putting God first. The results are a good testimony. Though honestly, I haven't been putting God first as much as I'd like.

I am not leaving Yishun today, unless I really have to. Went out with some people for the past 2 days. Guess I'm more or less ready to leave, said my farewells. Please DON'T watch Borat. Yucck.. It's disappointing in my opinion, didn't laugh very much. There's a good reason why it is R21. I don't think I'm suited to watch R21 shows. Traumatised. Errrk.

Last day in Singapore. Sleepless in Singapore. Starring: Dawn and her faithful laptop (Hopefully it remains faithful in US and doesn't quit on Dawn)

Leaving again.

I'm back from Taiwan! Thought I did blog a long post about Taiwan, but I don't have the time nor energy to do it. Maybe next time when I have more time on my hands. For now, I feel like blogging about my impending departure to US and here are the photos from Taiwan! I love that place man, love to go there in June after coming back from US. Haha. Managed to do the captions for some photos.

I'm starting to miss people even though I haven't left. It's kinda difficult to say goodbye. So, I haven't told some people that I'm leaving, lest they ask me too many questions. In case you I failed to tell you, I'm leaving coming Sat.

Been wondering what has God called me to do there, if I have been walking in His will and if going for this exchange is a mistake, becoz I must admit that at times things don't seem right. However, in general things are going well. I'm pretty hyped up about going, but I wonder if I'll get homesick and lost. Pray that He will give me the courage and to see things from His perspective. I'm going there to grow. Heh. Not that I won't grow in Singapore and Daniel had said at least twice that I'll be missing out on what's going to happen in Secell. And since I made my choice, I'll go and make the most out of it and bless the people.

I'll be attaching myself to a Jewish prof and he's been really nice to correspond with me via email even before I'm there. Staying with 2 americans and a fellow ntu mate in the same apartment and I just learnt how to cook porridge today! Bought sambal sauce to marinate fish also. Yummmmy.....

I just hope to meet as many people as I can before leaving. Time is running out... And I am determined to leave light-hearted, not in tears.

Absent.

I'm at a loss of what to do because there just too many things to be done. I really have no idea where to start. Alright, I shall attempt to cook my first dish tomorrow. Ho hum, flip through the cook book and see what I conjure up from the frying pan. Hopefully dad and I will live through lunch that I'm so determined to prepare tomorrow.

Went to Glady's birthday party, she's leaving for Murdock next year to become a vet! I'm happy for her though, her dreams are coming true :) Half of my JC classmates turned up, mostly guys though. It's been 2 years since I last saw some of them and they haven't seem to have changed at all, especially the guys. Lol. Still the same old same old. Can't believe it's been this long since we've graduated from college.
I'm getting increasingly tired as the days pass. Wonder if things will get better after youth camp?

It's wonderful to spend the day home tomorrow. Help me to see things the way you want me to see them God.

Breath. A little.

Muahahaha. The exams are finally O-V-E-R. Though I must say the last paper was quite disappointing. My fault this time, I couldn't reformat my brain anymore. Yes. I felt like a storage device during the exams. Erase and store, erase and store. Finally. My brain is blissfully empty.

I feel like a changed person after every sem. Maybe that's uni life or life in general when you are 20 and above. Or perhaps this is the time of your life when the most drastic changes take place. You become the care-giver instead of being cared for, I can foresee my future role and I'm already slowly sinking into it. The difficulty level is only going to go up and up and up.

Lots of things to be done, the holidays only bring about another kind of flurry. Especially during the Dec holidays.Youth camp. Friends. Shopping. Christmas. Taiwan. Impending departure. Farewells.

No time to breathe. Wish I could spend one idyllic day doing absolutely nothing. Those days are gone. Ha. So many things I want to do. Scrapping, baking ginger snaps, vivocity and more... Ok. Fine I still haven't gotten within 10 feet of that place. But I will.
