Week 61 - Tipsy, drowsy, sniffy, racey
The end of the first half of sem 1! A deserved break (yes, no lessons but full of projects). The end of AB005, AB228A. Brilliant. The F1 season (awfully vivid images of that hilarious AB114 final presentation), and a restructuring of CG.
NYCA1(old) -> NYCA1 (new) + NYCA3
Interesting split, though i must say that for the new A3 sisters, it would be good as well as they can understand each other better, being teachers to be and going through similar paths in their stint at NIE. As for the rest of us, it brings about a more concentrated mix of fellowship. Look forward.
F1. I was wondering how the advertising went for them, as well as how successful this season's event will be, whether how able they are to advertise and promote this mega event. (taking a quick glance at the TV set). Shall blog more about this next time.
I was pleasantly surprised when Wenjiang showed us the clip on the German Bundesliga. Here's the video, as i end my post.

Week 60 (end) - Nehemiah Series (rebuilding)
Saturday evening.
A sense of deja vu.
"i offer my life".
Interestingly, this song is replayed once again from Thu sub-D.
The sermon.
Nehemiah Chapter 4.
Rebuilding with opposition. Fierce opposition.
Making reference to the previous blog post, 0-2 down. It's like the close to the first half. The morale of the team is down. Head knowledge tells us, you need to do something, and not sit back and try to maintain status quo. Not to advance, but to rebuild. Rebuild in God's ways.
Alas, when you're 0-2 down, also making reference to Sat's sermon, psychological factors act against you.
1) Criticism (outward)
2) Threats (outward)
3) Discouragement (inward)
I stare long and hard at the worship song lyrics and frowned. It was just like God rebuking me once again. Fear of trying to reduce the deficit to 1-2 as a first step of rebuilding, because you fear having your defences left unguarded and bare. Thinking about going 0-3 down seems hard to imagine. This is when you really need God.
Criticism. Threats. Discouragement (self-doubt, lowering of self confidence because of past experiences, fear of saying the wrong things etc). Are they a concern for God? Why fear all these? In reality, things are not like, when it's 0-2 down, you say "let's restart the game to 0-0" and begin without making the same mistakes. The 2 goals conceded will still be there, because back when the game first started, you'd probably had not pre-empted much.
The head knowledge is there. But head knowledge without action is futile. Typing this post becomes meaningless. Head knowledge with action, without partnership with God, is also futile, as it lacks wisdom.
I will embrace each and every single road, smooth or rocky, with love. God's love. I will stretch to rebuild this with God. Criticism, threats, discouragement? Just bring it. Let not fatigue and weariness be excuses for anything that is negative in Your sight. God, i need You.
Ecc 3:1 - There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
Rebuilding season. God's timing.

Week 59-60
Arsenal's first game into Euro Champs League season 09/10, thursday morning 17.09.2009. Coming into the game with 2 consecutive defeats by Man C and Man U, 5 mins in, 2-0 down. Yet another defeat looms large. But watch on as they registered a comeback win. =)
Yes, setbacks and defeats ain't the most easy thing to deal with. But with patience and partnership with God, the ray of light is still warm and everlasting. 3-2. Victory? The road is still long.. (it's only just one game)
Particularly found the worship song today great. Offering our lives to God. Many times we do have to remind ourselves what and why are we here, that we do so because our God is a God who gives us strength, gives us hope, and most of all, gives us love, and we want to thank Him for all that He's done for us.
Can't wait for tmr. AB228A final lesson!
Nicodemus

Week 58 - The 21 gun salute
Sometimes i wonder. Does God fall ill? Tried picturing Him with a fever, blocked nose and tonsilitis, and still showering love on us. Random thoughts, though i won't be surprised if He does. =) Anyway, week 4 of school marked a physical battle, as many of us fall victim to illnesses that start to penetrate and work its way into our immune system. At this i'd like to pray for all who are sick right now, that God will just heal them quick and let them regain their efficiency in work and serving You.
Jiayou! The march is still long. =)
