The Little Things in life

Hello there. Here I am, back in action. :)

Well, no one's probably reading this little space but that's alright. it'll be pretty amazing to be reading all these 5 years down the road, maybe one day after I am married or I can show it to my kids in the future!

So anyway, its the summer holidays! I wouldn't call it the holidays though. Just went to dictionary.com to search up the definition of this word, and here goes:

hol·i·day

[hol-i-dey]

noun

1. a day fixed by law or custom on which ordinary business is suspended in commemoration of some event or in honor of some person.

2. any day of exemption from work ( distinguished from working day ).

3. a time or period of exemption from any requirement, duty, assessment
Apparently, I am not close to being exempted from work so yeah. But I am happy. I am happy serving the Lord and the people He loves. There were countless times I got mad, angry and upset, but if all these are a worship unto God and He is pleased with it then yes, God please bless me with Your grace, Your strength and Your wisdom to carry on until the day You come again to meet me face to face.

Let me take this opportunity to list down my commitments this season since it would probably help me in my processing too:

1.  I am on a summer research programme! 
I only went into the lab to conduct some mini experiments for 2 days. We were trying to extract and purify DNA of cells from a mouse. You've no idea no tiny the DNA strands are. A million cells only gave me THAT bit of DNA strands - the size of only this fullstop . The past two weeks were pretty much just hanging around trying to read up and start on my report. Its been a good time messing around with ZY too :) check it out below!

the COLD room

trust me, it was really cold. i've no idea what its temperature is but when we went in to mess with our DNA, we had to run out after just a good and short 2 minutes (considering that we still had time to take this photo)? madness. but. FUN.

 

2. NTU Freshmen Orientation Camp! 
and so, i somehow landed myself to be heading this camp again this year. sigh :( i know i can gonna do a way much better job than last year but having said that, it increases my stress level as well. i've less than two months before the camp and now the publicity and recruitment drive is underway. its exciting to see it happening but at the same time lots of uncertainty. i know my success is not found in the number of participants or what others say bout this camp.. so i am really trying to take it easy and give my best shot. pray for me that this camp will touch lives

3. SPMS buddies 
i THINK i am the programmer for this event. hahah, yeah i wanted to quit so badly but because the committee is so new and short of manpower that i decided to say. I know its good to be a stakeholder in my own faculty too so that i can be of greater influence and the salt and light! its extremely pressuring when you know that everyone is waiting for you to get things done to proceed to the next step. :'(

on a lighter note, work at TCW side has ceased because its school holidays for the main stream schools too. it was so hectic last week but enjoyed myself. at the same time, ministry has been pretty demanding too. why? on weekdays i am in school 9am-6pm and at night, i go to cg twice a week. other nights there are either leaders/prayer meetings or work meeting. i rarely get times to spend time with my love ones what more with myself... its especially difficult when my mom is home this season to nag at me. yes, i still do face loads of persecution and she still beats me... can't believe it cos i am alr 21. :(

just wanna whine a bit. i will still get things done!
lately, i noticed many people have been very concerned about me on whether I am getting attached with a boyfriend or not. my parents aside, recently a friend told me i am too CONSERVATIVE. ha, i wasn't really offended, just taken aback. after all, i follow the law that was return so many hundreds of years ago. ;) look at the amount of things i've to do everyday, where got time for BGR? please la... hahaha. OK i do admit once in a while, nice godly guys do stroll pass right before my eyes but i am not giving in just yet... not that i am unprepared but meanwhile, i just wanna make full use of this gift of singlehood God has blessed me this season of my life. i am, from the bottom of my heart, thoroughly happy with who i am right now and i look forward to fulfilling the God-given purpose as a confident and single woman before i enter into the next phase of my life. so, decided to re-read this book after getting it as my super-belated (almost 2 months late) 21st birthday present from my supervisor and his wife. been so blessed by it so far! :)

 alright, got to go and finish up my work. been procrastinating a while already. really hope to make my holiday next month a successful one. 

I NEED SOME TIME TO GET AWAY, SEE MY BESTIE, BE ALONE BY THE BEACH THINKING BOUT MY LIFE, FEEL THE WIND ON MY FACE AND TELL GOD HOW MUCH I MISS HIM AND I JUST WANNA BE WITH HIM.

 

I won’t let these little things  

Slip out of my mouth  

But if it's true 

It’s you  

Oh it’s you  

They add up to  

I’m in love with you  

And all these little things
