right. updates.
Just for those who are wondering what I had been up to.

1. Studying
And so its been 2 weeks since my last paper. Hmm, what can i say about them now that it is all over? Blah.. i don't want to talk about it actually. All i am feeling right now is the fear of failing my derivatives paper. You'll know you have a huge problem when you come out of the exam hall feeling depressed about your performance especially when everyone else around found the paper relatively manageable. I'm just going to trust God and leave it all up to Him right now.


2. Packing
After the exams came the tedious task of having to move out of hall. Because cherie, steph and myself are staying out next yr, we had to pack all our stuff out of our rooms and leave them at stace's place where we are temporarily staying at till we find ourselves a decent house! Till then, we are houseless and have to live off our suitcases and boxes. (Thanks stacey!!) Oh and i realised that i have never taken proper photos of my room, so this is for uru and the girlies back home who have asked me a couple of times how my room in hall looks like.


3. Summer Holidaying
Its kinda ironic how all the mugging for the exams that drains your every life existence doesn't seem as exhausting as the 'celebrating' after. I've been so tired from all the shopping and walking under the blistering hot summer sun, the countless dvd late nights, etc. I think i've watched about 18 movies in the course of 2 weeks. Yet, i most certainly do enjoy just hanging out and spending time with friends. Anyhows, here are some photos to elaborate what i'm trying to say.

above: cell bbq lunch at cottlesloe beach. we got a nasty burnt after that.

above: steak dinner at Albion celebrating cheeky, vernon and eugene's birthday.

above: su, mitchell and myself while shopping at garden city.

above: cheeks, eugene, vernon and myself at ciao italia where we surprised cheeky with a resounding happy birthday song..italian style. He was so embarrassed, so were we. haha. you should have seen the look on his face!

4. Home
I'm back home in singapore at last. Just got back yesterday afternoon, and the funny thing is i'm not exactly the most excited person i thought i would be. One thing's for sure, i do miss my family and nothing beats spending time with them.

Rahhhh!!!!
I hate exams.

Derivatives are killing me.
Hang in there steffi. Hang in there.

'So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.'

A Sweet Hour of Prayer.

禱告之時甘甜之時, 使我離開煩惱之事
來到神的座前發表, 所有意願所有需要
當我遇到重壓憂愁, 我靈卻常得著自由
不陷惡者所有佈置, 因為有你禱告之時
禱告之時甘甜之時, 如有隻翼載我願辭
來祂寶座向祂求懇, 祂是信實祂是全真
祂既命我尋求祂面, 信祂話語靠祂恩典
我要將我重擔卸釋, 在於你前甘甜之時
在於你前甘甜之時.

by David Tao
Album: 太平盛世


alright.

and now for the..

Translation

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief,
and often escaped the tempter's snare by thy return,
Sweet hour of prayer!

No, I have not turned chena-fied overnight. But you just got to take a listen to this song! As you can see, this is actually the hymn 'Sweet hour of Prayer', only this time beautifully arranged by David Tao himself. I met Liying in the computer lab this afternoon and while talking to her, she passed me his new album and before i knew it, i was swooning over his incredibly soothing voice and deep lyrics. Give me a guy who sings, writes and plays like him and I will marry him.

And I will open up my heart,
Search me in the deepest part.
And I will stand in cleansing fire,
by You, purified.
By You I'm purified.
