Week 91 - Exam period week 1
Good solid time this week. Busy, hectic, running through things, missing out on things, doing wrong things, doing right things. But if i can summarise up my thoughts and feelings, it would be "CUI". Mainly physical.
Though, some thanksgivings to make again:
1) Chao lao day.
My dear cg for making the efforts to celebrate my birthday despite the busyness of exams and deadlines. Special mention to Cat and Ashley who came down from town and the other side of the world to pulau ntu. Seng and SW for the prep of venue and food. OOps. that's all of us.
Also, to many others for their well wishes and prayers and notecards and hershey riceball and email. (:
2) Small talks with people
Very interestingly, these (at least 5) came mainly in one day. Till i alr so cui but still talking. But what's exams without fellowship?
3) Getting to know more people
Think it has been a blessing knowing people like Boon Han and Chee Han and Xiaohui (duno if i spelt her name correctly). Hopefully it was a good exp for them studying with our community as well. (:
4) Those who had flu/nose irritants like dust
Wah lao. The one thing that hindered me from staying in hall this exam period. Getting infected is one thing, breathing in dust is another. Either way, it doesn't work well for exams, interaction, and everything else in life.
Despite all the complain. Haha. But, i believe that it is all worth it. Jesus never shirked away, anyway.
5) QT/NT with God
The thing which brightens up any exam period even when things don't go well, people fail you, you fail yourself. I cherish these moments. Even if on the day guitar strumming sucks becuz of incompetency, it doesn't matter so much.
Spending time with God is good enough.

Week 90 -- A week of choleric-ness
Nth much to say this week, only that God, help me be choleric and amiable and reasonably sensitive at the same time. (:
Today i saw quite a unique sight. I was alerted by the sounds of the ambulance and i saw people gathering at the bus stop near my place. Upon looking closer, i saw a bus in the bus stop itself. Later my dad found out that the bus lost its control from the traffic junction 50m away and couldn't stop, knocking into a few cars and i think a few people as it went into the bus stop. OUCH.

Week 89 Part II - Set apart for Christ: Commitment Series Part I (yes, no creativity
God showed me once again why things don't happen by coincidence.
As i was reading the book of Haggai today, just like Simon Peter in John 21, there was this sense of deja vu. It reminded me of the first time i saw this passage, in Oct 2008 when i decided to commit my time to God for the 1st time. With limited understanding. When I noticed Jesus stepping into my boat and started to allow Him to work in me. This time round, i took home 3 slightly different things.
I was touched by the part about God bringing unique experiences to each and every one of us. However, i was slightly hesitant about what was ahead. Supposedly, i sensed the busyness of each and every one of us as deadlines/quizzes/and the exams approach. But just want to reiterate Tim's last pointers even as i remind myself with this.
When we focus on people, on things, we see the part we play, we see miracles happen. WE SEE RELIGION. We forget!
When we focus on God instead, we see Him coming down, reaching out, WE SEE THE RELATIONSHIP.
Think for myself there are moments in recent times when i tend to just do and do (yes, because of a certain fasting), but as a result my perspective tends to be more on things (maybe less of people). Help me remember God. Help me remember the good times spent with You alone, that i may realign myself back to not just doing Your work, but renew this RELATIONSHIP day by day.
Came home around 12.30am. Haha. Thankful that my dad didn't grumble for the late ride, but really. Felt that every one of us needed a personal prayer seeing the busy week just consume us. Thankful for the sharing.
On a lighter note, i am also slightly amused that some bird droppings decided to find its way on my WHITE shirt one fine afternoon. Lol.

Week 89 part I
Barcelona 4 Arsenal 1 (Champions League Quarter Final 2nd leg, Nou Camp, Barcelona)
(Barcelona scorers: Messi 21, 37, 42, 88)
(Arsenal scorers: Bendtner 18)
I was running through the Barca teamsheet. Indeed Henry didn't play. But who needs Henry against Arsenal when you've got Pedro and Bojan (apart from the 1st 2 strikers) who can score too? Enjoy. This is a Lionel Messi 4-bagger spectacle.
On the other hand, Arsenal went route one. 2 options, either release Walcott down the right for a burst, or pump the balls to Bendtner for height. The scoreline kind of proved its point when Bendtner failed to muster a shot on target in the 2nd half after being put through in the box. Nasri, more notorious in his usual position at the flanks, was lost in the crowd for most of the game. Apparently taking on the role of Fabregas wasn't the most natural thing.
On a week when miracles continue to happen in our lives, this one was not to be. However, some miracles which i want to share as well:
- Catherine's passing of her uncertain module, praise God for that.
- God really allowing me to see certain things amidst a tight week.
- Realising certain relationships grow in different areas, even when i am not fully aware
Back to work.

Week 88 Part V (end)
Easter Service (4/4/2010). Won't say much here, but my thoughts about today and the road ahead for the next quarter of the year is summarised in today's QT, coming from Micah 4-7.
I do not know the thoughts of the Lord, i don't understand His plan, sometimes i do feel the temptation of following my own plan. (4:12)
But i do know this: I will stand, I will shepherd His flock, in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord our God, in the likeness of the Ruler of Bethlehem, Jesus himself. (5:4)
Why: Because God has shown me what is good. And the three things which God requires us to do - Act justly, love mercy and walking humbly - I will. (6:8 with tinge of coffee beans)
I will remind myself that fearing the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (6:9)
What used to be: Not trusting neighbours, nor having confidence in "friends" (7:5)
Now turns into hope because of the Lord, that He knows, He hears, and He protects. (7:7)
Solemn warning to the devil and the dark side:
- Do not gloat over me, though i have fallen, i will rise. The Lord will be my light. Because i have sinned against Him, i will bear His wrath, until he pleads my case and establish my right. (7:8-9)
Because God, You are compassionate and merciful, i will be, too. (: (7:18)
It starts from today.

Week 88 Part IV - Farewell grads
2 Apr is Good Friday. No lessons, but a time of GFG that signals the end of the period/fiscal year(or accounting period etc). A time when the old waves bid their farewells (though not dying on the beach, if you know what i am referring to).
Characterised by LAN gaming (it was my first time playing LAN games for a LONG while, never a gamer to begin with), BBQ and oldies from the 1980s, the highlight was when the grads were sharing about their experiences. Timothy was playing a string of melancholic tunes, yet in my heart there wasn't that mel feeling. Instead, i felt joyful and happy for them, that they'll be moving on to their next stage in life.
Thanks for the acquaintances and friendships, to Hongyao, Tun Kai, Chee Harn, Xuan An, Eng Seng and Qimin. (: Keeping in touch ain't easy, but by God's grace i believe it's possible.
Some reciprocal comments were more real, some were more general, but something was deposited in my heart, that i need to work upon sooner than later.

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 2 (Champions League Quarter final 1st leg, Emirates Stadium, London)
(Arsenal scorers: Walcott 69, Fabregas pen 85)
(Barcelona scorers: Ibrahimovic 46, 59)
Arsenal v Barcelona
Uploaded by imorenball. - Check out more sports and extreme sports videos.
Want to dedicate this post to Arsenal FC and this game. Free flowing, breathtaking football. (:
Highlights:
- Barcelona had 23 shots (10 on target) compared to Arsenal's 6 (3 on target).
- Arsenal are playing on home ground
- Barcelona are the reigning European champions
- Arsenal captain Fabregas (23 yrs old this year), is a former Barcelona player in his youth days
- Barcelona striker Henry (who is the all time leading scorer for Arsenal with 226 goals), played for Arsenal and well loved by the fans. Emotional night.
- Arsenal have lost to Chelsea and Man Utd (the 2 strongest in the English league besides themselves), and lost convincingly. True underdogs going into this game.
- 1st half possession of the ball: Barcelona (est. 70%), Arsenal (est. 30%). How many teams go to Arsenal's home ground and have such dominance.
- In the end, Arsenal had 3 players (Gallas, Fabregas, Arshavin) injured, Barcelona had their 2 central defenders (Pique, Puyol) missing out on the 2nd leg in Spain.
- As it turns out, Barcelona took a commanding 2-0 lead before Arsenal made a comeback.
And to Nou Camp, Barcelona for the 2nd leg... Barca on home soil. No shame to lose, really... but can i hope?
