-takes a deeep breath-
-sings-

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Yes, PRAISE GOD!
My exams are finally over, and He took me through the storm, fire and turmoil.
He sent me Angels to look after me and give me support along the way.
Words of encouragement, jokes to cheer me up and the ability to put the smile back on my face really makes a lot of difference when it comes to the trying times.

Thank you to all my friends and family who were there for me during this period of time.
Thank you for all your prayers and SMSes.
Brightened my days and kept me going.

The final two days of exams were good, coz God brought me through.
Period.
Nothing else can answer for the peace I felt during the papers.
Almost freaked out at certain points, but calling upon the name of the Lord made all the difference :D
Corporate Finance, Management Science Methods and Elements of Social and Applied Psychology.
They are all behind me and now I can stack the notes to the corner (or return the texts to friends who lent them to me at the beginning of the academic year). Hehe...

The whole fact that I've finished with my exams is still taking its time to sink into me. I woke up this morning still thinking that there were papers to sit for.
So surreal...
'High' from the exams and still have yet to come down from that altitude. Wonder how long it will take before i really come down from there... hahah....
Another reason being: I am currently preparing for the Camp Enviro-Awareness.
Starts next Monday and your's truely is the Camp Mistress of both camps.
Yeap, it can be likened to a 7-day ling exam. hahaha...
Need to ensure that everyone has a good time and learns things at the same time. Cannot just concentrate on having FUN and forget that it is essentially an educational camp right?
hehehe...
With God, all things are possible!
-does the dance of joy-

Like every year since i started my exams at the Expo the final day of exams is highlighted by dinner @ Sakae Sushi @ Changi Airport.
Diana and Yangmui came to meet me.
So touched lor... they finished their papers last Friday but came all the way to have dinner with me... THANKS LADIES!!!! :D
As usual, part of the destress process, crazy was the main order at the resturant... hahaha...
Went from singing the Gatseby commercial to reminiscing about the past visits to that outlet. Amazing how I can still remember where we were sitting the first time we went there to chow after our first outing of UoL Exams... hahah... the food wasn't too bad I guess. Then again, the woman who fell down in front of us might beg to differ. (errr... no link.... the floor!)
Good food + Good friends = GREAT TIME.
What more could I possibily ask for?
Maybe more time... coz we sat, eating and drinking all the way from 6.30pm to 10pm odd without realising how late it was...
Missed out on the shopping opportunity though... hahaha... I miss walking around the Airport.. we only managed a small portion before heading to the bus bay to catch our respective buses... hahaha...

As with everything, the full circle came with me taking the bus no.24 home... reached my doorstep at 11.30pm odd...
-breaks out into hysterical laughter-

Me mentioned earlier that I woke up this morning thinking I still had papers to sit for... bleah... now I am yawning... hahaha... will be bringing some of my camp lessons home to prepare... very exciting experience, definitely not something that will be forgotten any time soon... hahaha
Considering that there are only 3 days left before the children arrive at HQ, the work has to be efficient and well done - to a crisp.
Eeeps~
Sounds more like I am talking about food... hahah... come to think of it, the tummy is starting to rumble... hahaha

Jia you to all my friends who have papers to kill.
That's right!
You heard me - KILL!!!!!
Make sure the blood flows until it becomes a river.. Xue Liu Cheng He... oh yeah~~~~
-throws pompoms all over the place-

And thus, tis' time for me to sign off, for now...

shall update again when I am inspired... hahahhaa

gotta go continue with my prep and serial list making... hahahha...

To God Be The Glory!

ONE MORE TIME!

-takes a deep breath-

-SINGS-

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Through the fire

Gwad… I finally get to post something on my blog.
Shesh~
Blogger has been a real pain in the neck of late.
Looking on the bright side, I guess that’s been a good thing coz I am forced to study. Which is supposed to be the job of the month.
Hahaha…

Speaking of which, I just finished my MM paper.
Then again, ‘just’ would be pushing it, coz the paper was on Monday.
How was it?
Most depressing thing in the history of papers.
-hits head continuously against the wall-
Really – REALLY have to fight and pick myself up from all that depression to prepare for the next paper: CORPORTE FINANCE!
Let me hear you’ll scream!
Just my luck, but I am getting a bit more optimistic. Just need to finish a few more chapters… must have confidence no?
-waves pompoms all over the place-

Lost my mind while at the movie screening…
Example : Don’t eat my calculator please. (I was referring to my camera) x.xlll

Here is the summary of the days gone by:
Movie event for WWS – This is the Sea.
School programme at WWS.
Studying.
Mugging.
Abnegating.
Falling sick.
Being unwell.
Still not well…
Admin at HQ.
TV stuff.
Camp preparations
TV preparation – filming’s on Sunday.
More camp preparations

I’m kinda excited about the filming.
But have to speak Chinese x.xlll
God’s will.

Ran into an old friend two weeks back.
Haven seen him in 7 odd years, how time flies and how much we have changed.
-starts singing “This used to be my playground”-
ok… the song’s a bit extreme but you kind of get the idea… the last time I saw him I was in lower secondary!
The last time we even had a proper conversation (before meeting again) was when we were both in primary school!
It’s nice to meet him again lah~
Haha!

White knight, green mail, grey knight, yellow knight, sleeping beauty, poison pill, suicide pill, people pill, Lady MacBeth, etc… oh how interesting finance is… now if I shall go on to get the entire CAPM into my head. Let’s not forget about the puts, shorts, longs and calls…
-loud psychotic laughter-

Got caught by Maroon 5’s performance on American Idol last night.
Awesome!
Here’s the song they sang:
