Home alone

Wow a day just passed like that with me watching prison break all day. haha. I think that is what I am going to do for the next few days. I need to ensure myself that I do not touch my laptop at night, at least spend the time to do more reading. I do not know why, but I think they are correct, economics makes you appreciate the newspaper more, so I shall read more newspaper. Besides, I need to rest my eyes from the screen. That is what I really wanted to do during the break, to stare more at reading materials instead of the laptop. Am starting to get excited for the coming semester! :)

Sometimes we do silly stuff

I spent 6.60 dollars on correction tape. I cannot believe it!!! This can buy me 3 meals!

Correction tape with casing + refill.

But I bought the refill first -__-

The thing is, Prarthi and I both bought refills instead of the correction tape itself!

What happened is I went to buy correction tape for tomorrow's writing paper since it would be easier to do any correction and I met Prarthi at the mart. She went there to get her correction tape too. So, we got our stuff and went back our rooms.

I was opening the wrapping for the correction tape that i bought and was a bit puzzled about the structure of the tape.. seems like something is missing.. At the moment when I think I knew what was missing, Prarthi texted me "Did you buy the same correction tape as me?"

"Yes and I think it's a refill!"

I just bought a correction tape without its casing!

Now I have plenty of correction tape :D

Better make good use of it tomorrow.

Itchy fingers

Hehehe, deluxe maru. I feel like pinching his (her?) double chin.

Yes, my fingers are itching... i.... want.... to.... buy....

a.... g.. u.. i.. t.. a.. r......... yes?

Anyway, i need to think like an economist for the coming few days to comprehend the wonders of economics before saturday, micro and macro :/ But it is not that horrible, just that staring at it too long makes me a bit bleh.

I got back my essay for my SP1202. It is the language part that pulled me down. Only scored half of it.. I guess there are always areas where i need to put in that extra effort and time compared to other people. I am quite amazed how did i get the courage to take up this module. I think people without the flair for writing would stay as far as possible from this module. But it is okay, i just need to be extra careful on friday and spend more time reading through for mistakes. I hope i can get an average grade for this, please be more kind to me. fingers-crossed ><

I hope this cup of coffee sustains me. I went for interhall fellowship teaching. It was great! How i wish my mind could freeze everything the speaker said and play it over again and again.

Test on wednesday! By God's grace, i hope i can nail this!

Final lap

I wanted to write this for quite some time ago but couldn't find the time, not that I'm busy, more like lazy. haha. Anyway, here is what happened.

Somewhere during last week, after class I went to the canteen to have lunch. I was on my own and was happy when I found a table. I sat down, 'chop' that table and went to get my food. I got my food, happily sat down and started eating. It is when you are on your own, the light, the fan, the guy at the next table or the two girls walking past seemed to interest you. While I was eating halfway, this guy approached and asked whether there's anyone sitting with me (it was lunch hour so seats are hard to find). I said no and he sat. First thing I noticed, he sat down and prayed for the food and he prayed for quite a long time. He eats his food while i eat mine. Awkward silence. This is the moment where your inner struggles rise. To strike a conversation or just quickly eat and go! Finally, I couldn't stand the silence. "Hi, I'm teresa. Are you from science?" I could not think of any better topic to start with. It turned out he's pretty easy going, very interesting person to talk to. He stays in PGP too! I'm in block 1 and he's in block 3! Such a coincidence.

The conversation ended after our meals and we departed to our separated ways. Didn't know that talking to random people can be so interesting and exciting!

On the side note, I have been passing by this catholic students society notice board everytime I have 2161 lecture but I never notice what's on the board. Until that day I read this and I find it meaningful:

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.

Redirect

No bible study during cg today :D haha. Prarthi didn't make it back in time to conduct the BS so we chilled and bonded. Lastly, we paired up and prayed for one another. It is my first time pairing with Priscilla, a year 3 architecture student. We managed to share quite a bit before praying. It is really inspiring to listen to her and comforting to know there are people out there who share the same struggle. I think she is the kind of person you would not mind sharing more with her. Maybe it is because she is a CGL for her youths in church. That why she displays this very encouraging and sincere personality.

Anyway, thanks for praying for me :) It did warmed my heart hearing someone praying so fervently for me. But when she said God can do the impossible, somehow there is this tinge of doubt within me. Maybe i'm try not to keep my hopes too high, so i choose not to commit to God the impossible stuff, in case i get disappointed in the end. Whether it is impossible or not, may Your will be done.

And Priscilla shared this statement: God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him - John Piper

The relationship, the satisfaction that you find when you seek Him.

I have yet to comprehend the gist of it but i think i kind of grasp the meaning behind it. I'm hoping this will be a guide to redirect back my heart. True satisfaction.

First things first

Came back from fellowship teaching, realising that I forgot to put my can of tuna back into the fridge this morning. Am forced to throw the remaining half of it away. But it is okay, cuz that can of tuna is the extra one I kept since vcf welcome tea. hehe. If not heart pain ler.

Tomorrow,

Mini group presentation at 10am, have to go early at 9am to discuss.

Econs lecture at 2pm. Macro is harder to grasp btw.

Test at 2.30pm.

Following that, mini freedom :D

By tonight,

Revise my article draft and submit it.

Submit my new media presentation (done. sound quality like crap but don't care. haha. such ignorance. tsk tsk)

Finish the remaining few lecture slides for the test tomorrow.

Read through lab reports for test as well.

Keep myself awake!
