Shouldn't have stayed up and chat so late on MSN when I have lessons at 8am today. Very sleepy. Hahaha. I will be going for CG later so I need to rest/sleep as much as possible after my lesson ends at 2pm today.
Going home is not an option. I have to reach Paya Lebar by 6pm. I will lose a lot of sleep in between. What better place to sleep other than school then? So here's a few suggested places to sleep in NYP.
1. The Library Wings
Be it the north or the south wings, is it by far the best place to sleep. Nice cooling environment and no one will come to disturb. You can even try the 5th floor but the librarians like to patrol the 5th floor very often so it is not really socially "considerate".
2. The Computer Labs
A bit cold sometimes but still a nice place to take a nap. You can surf the web a little and even tune in to online radio and listen to music while you nap. Do bring a jacket along just in case. Caution thou, the smaller labs may be booked for lessons so you may have to leave if so.
3. The Corridors along the Classrooms
You can act as thou you are waiting for tutorial to start and sleep outside the classrooms. What is great about this place is you can really slump on the ground and the corridors are air-conditioned. Only problem, it may get little noisy if people are moving around. Some blind cocks may step onto you once in awhile.
4. The Lecture Theatres
For those who are more adventurous or need a stimulant, nothing prove to drive a person to sleep better than old boring lectures. Go into a lecture theatres where there is some ongoing lectures, sit at the back of the theatre, focus a little on the presentation and you may soon find yourself in la la land. Don't try this during your own lecture or you may find yourself sitting for the same lectures next semester.
5. The Spectator's Gallery at the Running Track
Very quiet and low on human traffic. A really nice place to sleep. However, be warned that this could be one of the HOTTEST spot and unless you are intending to get a sun-tan, find somewhere else to sleep. Don't even try to sleep here on rainy days.
6. The Toilet
This is one place no one will ever complain if you do fall asleep. Just sit on the toilet bowl and start dozing off. The once-in-awhile smell when someone else uses the next cubicle may be a bit offensive and it can also get a little stuffy in the toilet but it can be helped using a portable mini fan and some medicated oil (the oil will let others think you have some serious diarrhea and encourage them to leave the toilet as soon as they finish their business). However, the downside of this, it was said that you could develope piles if you sit in the toilet for too long.
7. The Canteens and Food Outlets
For those people who need "noise" to sleep, you can always find a place here. It is really noisy thou but I do know of people who like such atmosphere. Please wear a face mask thou, your drooling may put diners off. We want to be "considerate" neighbours.
Time to prepare for leson then SLEEP! Yawn...
Gotta confess this before I leave. GOD IS GOOD. :)

Fellowship Day!
There is only 2 hours of lesson today so went to "Bai Nien" at my classmate's place after school. Her mum cooked for us and even prepared "Yu Sheng" for us. Hahaha All of us even get "Ang Baos". :p
Went over to Center Point Coffee Bean later to join Desmond, Yixuan, Chloe and Joey. Had a really nice conversation. Joey is a really captivating person as she can really listen and pay attention to what you wanna say. It is RARE to find people like this nowadays. Hahaha.
On the way home, I was talking a lot to Desmond. Let me say this, he is also one of the RARE guys/male/man who can talk on the same intellect level with me and talk about serious and spiritual topics naturally. We were talking non-stop on the whole bus journey.
Why is it rare? I find many guys tend to keep to themselves if not, they are only interested in talking about computer games and sports, things that are very superficial and doesn't challenge the mind. Which is why most of my friends are ladies because very sad to say, I personally find most ladies are wiser in conversation. However, Desmond is one of the rare man who can really speak with wisdom. He is what I call, a REAL man. Hahaha.
So to say. GOD IS GOOD. And I gotta sleep! Hahaha.

Energy Saving Mode
Here I am blogging the second time today.
Nothing much to do in school today. After that big presentation yesterday, I decided to take a break and go on "energy-saving" mode. That means, I go where ever I like when there is no lessons and keep to myself, get away from idle conversation and allow my mind to look inward rather than bothered with the hassles of the things happening around me. Even my classmate was commenting that I was very quiet today. Hahaha.
Actually, when I am quiet, I hate to be disturbed. Perhaps it is because I am having "conversation with myself" and anyone else is a "thrid" party. Sometimes, it is just so hard to find time for myself that when I finally have such luxury, I don't wanna be disturbed.
But it doesn't mean I don't care. If anything happened, I will still attend to it. If anyone is in trouble, I will help as much as I can. It is just that, I also want some time to be alone. And I mean, to be truly alone. Then I can "talk" to myself in my mind, make a few "silent" prayers to God and even hum a few worship songs to praise Him. I have being humming "What a Friend I've Found" recently without knowing it myself. Such "luxury" can only be afforded when I am alone.
Hmmm... Looks like I am on "Wanderlust" mode again, aka "Energy-Saving" mode. Hahaha.
So to say, I really wanna watch the movie "Fearless". Seems like many of the people had already watched the show. I wonder who else who be interested. Maybe I would just go watch it alone. I really wanna watch. Hahaha. Oh wells...
And what is the saddest thing? I will be missing the first ever prayer meeting of the year, which is tonight. All because I have lessons till 8pm!!! Too much sia. So many people will be going. My schoolmates-cum-zone members Eunice and Xueting will also be going and yesterday. Xueting even asked me if we could meet in school and go down for prayer meeting together. Argh!!! Haiz... Oh wells. Have to do my part to pray at home lor.
Gonna read my bible and pray. Gotta pick up my guitar and worship. YEAH!
For those who knows Xueting and Eunice, please pray for the two of them as they will be having a lot of projects and presentation to be completed by this week. Then next week, they will be having their semestral exams. For me, I will always keep them in prayers. Hahaha.
So let me confess this again, GOD IS GOOD! :)

A Time to Weep and a Time to Laugh
Finally, one of the most difficult presentation is over yesterday. Missed out one point forgot to talk about thou but nonetheless, it is still pretty good. Hahaha. Not easy to distribute the work and presentation among 14. So now 2 down and 2 more to go. But the last 2 is not going to be too difficult. Perhaps, I should just take a rest this week and continue the other two projects next week... depends. Hahaha.
Heard from Xueting that she also completed her hardest project yesterday. This particular project have being causing her to lose many nights of sleep and a little of her sanity. Hahaha. Well, I can identify with that. Talking to her over the phone reminds me of myself too.
Sometimes when I am stressed or frustrated, I may just bang the table or stamp my feet without much thought. Or when closing the door, I may just let it swing free and slam shut. I wouldn't try to do it on purpose, just perhaps it happened without much thought; sometimes I am shocked myself when the door slammed. If my mum is around, she will start to scold me, "buei son huh?" (as in "unhappy?") then I will quickly tell her "it's an accident" or "the wind blew". Hahaha. Coincidentally. Xueting sometime does that also. :p
Well... today I am suppose to have a good rest in the morning but I seems too have another bout of mild headache again. Haiz... I am getting used to it already. Everytime when I am stress, headache is really common. Nonetheless, I still enjoy the company of my church mates. They will always tend to understand and may even chat with me in a Christian viewpoint, which I find very comforting.
Speaking of which, sometimes I find my unchurched friends not so easy to get along. The last time I tried to let them know that I am not really feeling well and I am stress over the school projects, I kinda get very cold reactions if not, they will try to joke with me as if I am kidding. Naturally, that only make my blood boils. So whenever I am not really happy, I will still put on a smile but I will talk less and perhaps, even avoid them.
Perhaps it is true, that they are some friends whom you can only share "happiness"; like my school friends. Then they are some friends who can really laugh with you when you are happy and cry with you when you are sad. Such friends the bible says are friends who are closer than a brother. Thank God most of the people in my CG/zone can really listen when you need a listening ear or be with you when you need company.
Hey, I give a listening ear and comfort people too. I am much mature already. Hahaha. But I came to know one very inportant truth,
Alone I am nothing.
At all times I need God.
There is a time I can help others and there is a time I need help from others.
So the bible says, "it is not good for man to be alone" and "iron sharpens iron".
Well. GOD IS GOOD. :)

The Weekend.
The Christian band "Delirious?" came to lead songs in church this weekend. Their style is very different in the sense they may have praise follow by worship and then praise again, a very free flowing style.
However, it wasn't chaotic or out-of-sync. The transition to every songs are very smooth and it really bring in a very strong and tangible presence of the Lord. Their style of music is very much like a rock band but every word is so anointed! I felt so soaked in the presence that I start to feel very 'drunk' in the spirit.
So yesterday, Pastor taught about the need to honor the house of God and our priority should be firstly God's House, Family second and Carreer third. Why God first, because God always help to take care of everything. According to Psalms 92, God promised 7 blessings if we put Him 1st.
1. Fresh anointing
2. New vision
3. Hearing God's voice
4. No dryness
5. Health, riches, honor
6. Life-long productivity
7. Shine for Jesus
Then CG today was a combination of 2 CGs, plus MANY people coming for makeup from MJ zone. Hahaha. CG taught about Relational Evangelism. Yes! Got to be relational to reach out to people. No matter what role I play, always know that no effort is put to waste.
Was suppose to visit Geogina with Desmond at Clementi today. But we realised that her Dad's soya bean shop is not in Clementi Central but West Coast instead. Somemore, she's not working by the time we called her. End up fellowshipping with Desmond and had dinner with him instead. Later I treat him to satay. Hahaha. We were thinking about setting our own CG blog. :)
I am planning to go out with Eunice and Xueting this Wednesday and try out the Valentine's Day Chocolate Fon Due at Hagan Daz. Hahaha. In case you think otherwise, Valentine's Day is also called FRIENDSHIP DAY so dun think otherwise. Hahaha. All 3 of us are from the same zone, MJ zone and we studied in NYP. Eunice and I are the same CG. I really hope to start a zone fellowship in NYP to reach out to more people. Hahaha. Can give each other support when reaching out.
So truly. God IS GOOD. :)

Hectic Week
Back blogging again.
So so so busy for the past few days. The presentation is literally giving me a headache everyday, even today, I seems to be feeling giddy the whole day. Gotten worse at night but seems to become better after a shower.
If not, I wouldn't be blogging.
Went out to shop and dine on Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday was with Xueying and Xueting while Friday went with Eunice. Finally got to go out with the NYP people of my zone! Yeah!!!
On Wed, I met Xueying at 5pm and waited for Xueting to finish her tuition. She was suppose to be done at 5.30pm but not sure why she ended at 6pm instead. Hahaha. We went to Bugis Village to shop, only to find most of the shops are closed. Haiz... Chinese New Year mood. But we went to the Burmese Restarant at City Hall to eat. Hahaha. Had a good time chatting and fellowship with the sisters. By the way, Only Xueting is in NYP, her sister isn't.
On Friday, went out with Eunice, had dinner 1st before we proceed to Raffles City. We then gp on to Suntec City. At first, we wanted to go to Bugis but end up shopping the whole of Suntec instead. Hahaha. It was also fun to hang out with Eunice too.very nice to 'suan'. I bought my new wallet at Top Man finally. Hahaha. But that would means I probably will get my new belt after the next pay day. Gotta control my spending. Hahaha.
Wanna blog about Delirious? too... but if you can read from my blog, you prob can sense my brain is shutting down... so I will blog about it tmr instead. Hahaha.
By the way, retail theraphy really does help to destress. Hahaha.
GOD IS GOOD.

Baring My Fangs. Rr...
I actually wanted to blog about my Chinese New Year. So much fun and FOOD! Hahaha. But it's so long, it yet to be completed.I have dratfted it and was thinking of completing it today.
However, I just wanna blog about something else. It is about the ICA this coming Monday.
This is one ICA that really make me wanna VOMIT BLOOD. (Gotta sharpen my fangs and suck someone's blood later. Tradition method of blood transfusion.) Not because it is diffictult but the kind of RUBBISH some people can give me.
1st of all, I made it clear to everyone, GO AND READ THE LECTURE NOTES 1ST! One particular team in charge of doing the medical and nursing management can give me something almost totally different from what the lecture notes have. What does this show?
IT SHOWS THAT NO ONE FROM THAT TEAM READ UP THE LECTURE NOTES!
So counting today, we still have 3 more days, not counting the weekends, AND THE WHOLE PRESENTATION IS SUPPOSE TO LAST FIFTY MINUTES! With so much things yet to be done, we can't even try to have a full rehearsal.
It is not easy trying to coordinate 14 people to give a 50min presentation. I really reck my brains to think of a wonderful idea. Praise the Lord. But without the information, the whole presentation would be POINTLESS!
And when I call up the team leader this morning and ask her to make changes, she said IT IS NOT FAIR TO ASK HER DO EVERYTHING CUZ HER TEAM MEMBERS ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING.
Hello! If that is the case, WHY DON'T I DO EVERYTHING MYSELF? Get the people in your team to help you lah! If you always try to do everything yourself, OF CUZ ON ONE WILL BE HELPING YOU! Who are you kidding when you say YOU ARE STRESS?
Anyway, thanks to such people (and who needs the devil), I decided to meet up earlier with that team today and tell them STEP BY STEP what to do. We have no more time to waste. So now the STRESS IS ON ME. Fine. Haiz...
Thank God I didn't shout over the phone. There is nothing wrong to be angry, but just as some people are told by God not to touch alcohol or not to do certain things, I am told not to blow my temper. That is because I go out of control whenever I lose my temper and will hurt the people around me. I can feel angry or frustrated but, I cannot lose my temper.
I also didn't shout over the phone because I understand how stress it can really be. The other person is really stress despite of not being efficient. It isn't easy to handle people, I went through it myself. Each of us got to learn, it is important to know how to get along with team members. As far as I know, I being through that and I know how it feels. I am annoyed with the situation, not the people. I think it better to help the person than the situation 1st. As the leader I will sacrifice my time to see that everything is in order.
I pray that God will truly give me strength and the support I need. I need wisdom more than ever. I really need Your grace. Nonetheless, I know that God is always there for me. Thank You.
