SBC Graduation Day
Finally, the day has come.
it's all just like yesterday when I resigned from my work and started my study in SBC 3 years ago.
In this school, I made new friends from everywhere around the world, and they became my closest support group.
During this time, God opened my eyes, to see who are my real friends, and who are not.
It is also during this time, that God has broken my heart many times, through pain and sorrow, so that I can see things more clearly and I can depend on Him more wholeheartedly.
If there is one thing I learn through out these 3 years, it is this : Fear God and nothing else. Fearing people will not bring you anything, depending on people may only bring you disappointments, but fearing God is the way of life and the beginning of wisdom. He alone knows all my paths and my weaknesses and He alone cares for me more than I ever care for myself.
Today's graduation ceremony will be held at NTU-Nanyang Auditorium. Incidentally, this is also the very same place where I graduated nine years ago for my bachelor degree in NTU. Who would have expected that I were to have two graduation ceremony in the same place?
My family will be attending the ceremony with me. Friends will come and go. Family, they are not always there with you all the time, but one thing for sure is this, Family is your core support group, who are always there when you need them.
So, my friends... start your family now.. today :)

Free!!! At last!!!
Finally, Free, at last... just like the picture I have at the profile...
I spent the last sleepless night, to cover the last assignment...
it is amazing, that I can write almost 30 pages paper in about 3-4 days only...
(of course, I did the background work and some thinking and research before hand)
I did the presentation just about 10 minutes after I finished typing the summary and printed out the paper. and guess what, I was so tired that day (wednesday) that I cannot really control my tongue and had errors here and there in pronunciation and worse, when the lecturer asked me questions, I could not really answer him even though the answer is in my paper...
Anyway, all is over.. and now I can enjoy some free moments, free from assignments I meant. coz in two weeks time is my big day, and I need to really spend time to tidy up the room, and prepare for the new member of my family to move in :)
thank God for all the things that has happened in the past 3 years :)

Last Sleepless Night for SBC?
I got to finish the exegetical paper by tomorrow evening...
looking at the speed I am churning out the paper, I should be able to do it...
problem is, now I am really tired.. I cannot really do an all nighter now...
there are 4 sections for the exegetical papers' commentary section. The first section is done, and the second section is just waiting to be written. The third and fourth sections will be completed tomorrow... or will they?
apart from these four sections, which are the essence, I still need to touch a bit of research on the historical background, immediate context and overview of the paper (around 5 pages) not sure how I am going to do it...
this is one of the most hectic moments of my life... I am confident that I can pull through.. I will take a shower now... take an hour or two's nap, then I will continue... just bought a fresh supply of chicken's essence.. that will help me to concentrate...
After tonight, and maybe a bit of tomorrow, I can then be totally free... and the feeling is exhilarating ... :)) free... can watch movie, sleep, or read the books I want to read... (I wish)... not entirely free... of course, as I need to prepare the upcoming Big day :)

worship policy paper is done
Yup... the worship policy paper is done...
the work is not satisfactory... probably about the same level as the wedding sermon.. I guess I will get a C+ or even a C...
but nevermind... that's not so important at the moment..
the most important thing is to get all the tasks done by tuesday evening..
not sure how I am going to make it..
red bull gives you wing they say.. but I think nothing can help a weak and frail body... hahaha.. when I need to sleep I need to sleep... friends are supporting me... encouraging me... but this final race of school... I have to finish it myself... God help me to go through all these...
