I can’t believe the way your love has got a hold on me
Each morning I wake to find you near.
You lift me above my feet
And set my feet on solid ground
All of my days belong to you
And I breathe in your breath of life that fills my heart
You are my all-consuming fire
Chorus:
And I stand here before you
In wide open wonder
Amazed at the glory of you
The power of heaven
Revealing you purpose in me
As I’m reaching for you
Yea... that's one of my sister's favourite song. I think it's nice too!
Today school started at 8am... and apparently i had my timetable all messed up.
I thought it started at 9! So i missed the first lesson of the day. Haiz... so blur of me.
I felt really bad just sitting at the canteen(foodcourt6) as i reminded myself the importance of not just studying but keeping a close relationship with God.
Yup that's the fact i can be so blur. Anyway i will not make the same mistake again! Haha ya that's one lesson to be learnt for today. Always check the timetable beofore i go to sleep.
Lately i have been having afew commitments. So i really allocate time for each of my task. At the same time, i also value time spent for just myself to do what i like. Such as just talking to God and chatting with friends and bonding with my current classmates.
Time will not wait for me and so i want to cherish this last year that i am going to have in Singapore Polytechnic. So far it has given me loads of laughter and stress(along with it comes pimples!) . All those out there reading my bloggy, feel free to leave a comment or something.
Continue to sparkle for Christ!

Textbooks? Don't waste your money
Here's what happened in school today...
Teacher: So have all of you got your textbooks?
Class: noooooOOoooo.... (except for the class rep who did.)
Teacher: oke... how many of you intend to buy the textbook?
Class: no one raises the hand
Teacher: Hmm... i have the same problem with the other classes. All of you should go buy the textbook! It's only 30 dollars and it is vital to your understanding of the module. I shall try to convince all of you to go buy the textbook for 15 minutes.
Linda starts to doze off... ...
Teacher: the notes that you all received are very brief. Therefore you all should go buy the textbook. We cannot give you the comprehensive notes because we do not want to limit the coverage that will be tested. So i hope to see all of you with the textbook the next time.
Oke.. here are my views...
First of all the textbooks are so thick!! If i have to buy a textbook for every module, i wouldnt have to eat or sleep. Everybody only has 24 hours a day and an average person needs at least 7 hours of sleep. I have bought several textbooks in the past years and i have NOT read a single textbook cover to cover!!!
Comprehensive notes SHOULD be given to students. It's not narrowing or limiting what students are to study. Rather, it is called "STUDY SMART!" Don't tell me to study everything... coz i know that even A level student spot questions. So give me a break! (I went to JC so i should know...)
Although it is true that such methods are deemed as spoon-feeding, one has to be practical. Although one wants to encourage independent studying among students, this is not the way to do it. Do not just throw the textbook at us, students. If we knew what the textbook was talking about then we wouldnt need teachers anymore!
So... the bottom-line is textbooks shouldnt be students Bible. Instead, the textbook should be used as a form of reference and for a deeper knowledge and understanding of the topic. The job of a teacher is very important. I cannot stress the importance of tat further. Also, comprehensive notes SHOULD be given! It gives students a better understanding of the topic rather than just reading and understanding nuts!

SparkLing FoReVeR..
Harlow! Yo peeps this is my very very first time writing a blog. Thought it was a really cool idea to keep my pals updated through blogging. Where shall i begin... ... *Linda ponders*
Lately school has reopened. As many events has taken placed during the past 6 months or so, i was determined to pick myself up again. To soar much higher than before but now, it's not gonna be by my strength but God's. I've ran out of breath long ago. It's hard to move forward sometimes when you are reminded of your past. It's almost like someone trying to drown you in the waters while you struggle to breathe.
Things have taken a turn ever since i found myself back with God. Oh.. hold on... i didnt find God. He found me. LoL
*Linda giggles*
It's a really different life right now. Perhaps it's the way He is bringing me up in this world. I'm growing up! This semester is going to be a real blast. Final Year Project is to be done this semester. Alot of revising of past years work. Argh... i returned most of what i learned back to my teachers! Sobz... alot of reading up to do. Yup... anyway whatever it is, i will not give up yet. Reason being Jesus is always beside me!! Yippie =)
