should i apply for INSTEP? to cornell university? wonder if it's super competitve... wonder if i should just try... of course...must always seek the Lord... pray He'll give me some direction.

school's been quite normal...this sem is more bearable. psychology is a interesting addition to my biological core modules... it's really cool to learn about evolutionary psych..mating strategies of the male and female...post traumatic stress disorder experienced by tsunami victims...hypnosis...consciousness... the rest of my bio mods are focussed on the cell and DNA... not too bad... better than last sem.

joined youth choir at church. it's been a wonderful few practices. the last time i was in choir was in primary school. and i loved it. now i still love it. and it gives me more satisfaction since i'm singing for the Lord and serving in a ministry at church. been having weekly lunches with the NTU-NIE-bethany people...louisa, teacher aileen, teacher carol, teacher elaine, xiaohan and shanni. it's always a wonderful time of fellowship. =)

sometimes i look at the struggles i go through in my life and i feel so tired. i'm starting to get cranky easily and tend to snap at people more often..which i don't want... and sometimes i think my tone of voice comes across as grouchy when i didn't meant for it to be grouchy...if you know what i mean. then those friends of mine will tell me to 'eh, relax lah'... and i'm so puzzled because i really wasn't agitated...

struggle n. spell of struggling; vigorous effort; hard contest

been struggling with my faith and my walk with God. how to CONTINUE... memorising His word, going to church, singing in choir, finding the time and energy to do quiet time every day without fail. yiyong was just telling me about something she read...about how this man met with Jesus everyday in his study room. then work overload and all caused him to not do quiet time everyday...but one day he saw Jesus sitting in that very room...and Jesus told him "I was here everyday, here in this room waiting for you."...so He loves us so much and He wants to spend sometime with us everyday...so it gives us even more reason to spend time with Him everyday.

no distractions. no TV. no msn. no internet.

"But you must continue in the things which you have learnt and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learnt them."
