countdown
Ok, 6 more days to go before i get a nice long hiatus from swimming and like never go back to teach anymore. Haha... it's e final countdown. But u noe when u have to let something go you begin to appreciate it a little more.
Well things really have been rather pleasant so far. Last week wuz more eventful tho...had a surprise meeting with mr ian tatt, who is bald/hairless and has converted to one of those men in green rendering their services to e country. Met him at an interview at nus. My interview went rather bad tho as mindee said i felt like begging them "Pls juz take me in!!" Haha...I would like to enter this programme but really i guess it's not such a huge loss if i don't make it. It may mean tt other doors will b open in place of this closed one i guess. But, it's something to look forward to, the anticipation of wondering if i made it. Sigh...of all things my interviewers asked me my view on politics. I really, for the life of me, have not even a minute interest in this subject. Sorry, juz can't really absorb it. Which makes me feel like a silly, self-absorbed teenager. I recognise it's importance but juz can't bring myself to like reading or engaging in it. Oh well, to each his own...
Yay, tmr will be meeting chalene for dinner im happee. i plan to eat buffet...haha yeah. I have this thing abt buffets lah. I think they r damn worth it. You pay a modest sum to eat as much as u like and u can have e liberty of avoiding the food u hate while gorging on that which you love. Lurvely! Haha...what a pig.
Well...I juz feel like saying this despite tt well it is rather out of point. Prayer works! Really, esp if that prayer is not for yourself...because God moves. So yeah do make it a pt to pray for someone everyday:) For starters, pray for my interview! I do want to get into usp, but it's by His will!! Haha thanks:)

from the inside out
This song really inspired and touched me deeply.
A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Another week has passed...believe it or not im counting the days to the end of my contract. It's a really draining job you know to teach kids how to swim. Im enjoying certain aspects of it no doubt, and some kids juz make me smile...but sigh overall it's really exhausting. I really want to get a quiet job after this. Something quiet with well fleeting contact with people...meaning people that come and go i.e customers. Haha...honestly, I think i can do without collegues. They are nice to me, but I feel so contrived at times, to some of them.
There is so much i wish to do but so little time. And here i am wasting it typing this...I always did find gg online a real waste of time:p Oh yes and i have thoroughly decided to not go. Yup, i think i wouldn't regret it too much. I think yeah. Partially due to financial reasons but definitely juz one of the factors to a host of others.
Anyway it's 2 more days to good fri! Cheers:)

incandescent
Some things are always an incandescent spark tt flickers for a moment or so then fades into oblivion...i feel my spiritual life is like tt. The passion for Christ is always ignited by well, bible study, christian friends who inspire you and church. It's really hard to keep the flame burning. It's heartening when i had a chat with a fren from church abt my probs in my spiritual walk and she told me that it prob wuz because as a Christian I had grown. When she said tt i wuz surprised...but i thought i wuz floundering.
She told me tt a likely theory wuz tt I wuz not consistent say in QT, and I had to find the source of the prob, hence i find tt I'm not as close to Him anymore. I agree with her. I mean, if one wuz a new believer and is not tt consistent in prayer, QT or in seeking the word, God will still manifest Himself to the believer to aid in his/her faith. But as one matures, the discipline as a Christian to seek the Lord is more important...hence i believe tt if as a Christian you feel your spiritual life is low and you feel distant from the Lord, the withdrawal of His presence in your life could b Him hinting at you to return to Him.
Hence, I took her advice and indeed...He reveals tt He is ever faithful, waiting for His children to come back to Him:)
*****
Anywayz... Im in an official dilemma now. To go or not to go..that is the question. Which decision will i feel most at peace with? I really haven't a clue. We'll see, I still have abt 3 days to decide.
Swee is cooking for her family on thurs. At least she plans to:) Decided to take up the job of being the family chef. I rather like cooking to tell you the truth. Hopefully it would go well. I shall go western..more fun.
Went to joey's house today with tatt and cass to bake! We baked lava cake and apple crumble. Lava cake wuz a failure lah...way too watery..the only layer of cake wuz the topmost layer which began to sink into the watery chocolate grave when our spoons went in. Haha, but the apple crumble wuz rather nice:) Everybody is gg in soon. So sad. Tatt on fri and ll on sat. We shall meet again all you soon to be ns men. Haha. I feel vaguely old.
