Totally Inspired... ....keeping my dreams alive

Just went for a inspiring career talk yesterday. I thought that i would be sleeping and it would be a total waste of time. Surprisingly, the first speaker who came up was really eloquent and his speech was intriguing and interesting. He talked about how he started his business, empathyproductions.com. It is a really cool website that i have checked out. He started off as a freelance web designer. This created a spark for him to start a business to earn much more profits. He began his business just before he completed his diploma. He must have studied real hard cause he got the Certificate of Merit. He is right now a full-time NUS student, a full-time business man as well as a full-time song writer. He told us about the amount of hard work as well as his personal experience and downfalls while setting up the business... he practically works 24 hours in a day! When he started his business, he had to live on his parents and had practically almost nothing to eat!

His determination, perseverance as well as hard work(loads of it!) was like a wake up call to me. It reminded of the days that i would toil and study hard in PJC. It doesn't mean that i can do less work and relax more just because i am in poly. I will be working really hard! Going back to those days where i LOVE working. Having work to do is great! HAha... work hard now... then next time i can reap what i sow...

By the way, i will be assigned a place to work for my ITP(industrial attachment) REAL SOON! I'm pretty nervous about it, i really hope that the teacher will assign me a job that i can handle. So please pray for me? That'll be my prayer request! Thank You, Love ya All

I can't believe i failed NAPFA...

Yesterday i had NAPFA after lessons and i went there prepared to pass! So i was really upset when my expectation was not met. It was most upsetting and dissapointing when the guy didnt give me another try to jump... i miss by 6cm only. Argh.. anyway, i don't really regret going through the whole regime of training and running. It was a great fantastic way to keep fit and to relieve stress. Besides, my school fees includes paying for the school facilities. The gym in Singapore Polytechnic is not bad! Haha... yea.. i have never been to a gym before except the club at World Trade Centre (now known as harbourfront).

Well... this little sad girl is gonna need lotsa rest. My ties are aching when i didnt even run the 2.4km. Guess i need to build up those leg muscles. Well, if time allows me to take my NAPFA another time in October, i might just do that. Maybe just to make myself happy?

Anyway, i'll be really bz for the next few days... so no gunbound for me. Lots of reading and writing t do later when i get back home. Anyway, feel free to msg me oke? I will be reading my e-mails and all... Stay cool and funky dudes!

Different seasons of the year

DARLENE ZSCHECH - Through It All

THROUGH IT ALL

You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with your hands
And lead me in your righteousness
And I look to you and
And I wait on you...

Chorus:
I'll sing to you Lord a hymn of love
For your faithfulness to me
And I’m carried in everlasting arms
You’ll never let me go through it all

Hallelujah... ...

dunno why today i love making the "eeps" sound... sounds weird i know!!!
Today was pretty good... started the day by waking up late. I wasn't exactly in the mood for school. Who ever will be? The one week holiday has swept past me... and i haven't been exactly been enjoying myself with all the projects and "surprises".

I thought i was going to be late of class but i made it in time. The holiday was rather well spent i think. A well balanced program of both exericise, studying and time for God.
*Linda wakes up from her holiday mood*

There's gonna be alot to do and it's really important to remain focus as well as consistent in my work. I cannot be drowned in my own mixed messy emotions. So here's me waking up from all my fantacies as well as dreams. It's the season to work! Yep... oh please pray for me that i will be able to do well for my NAPFA. I have never gotten a gold only becoz of my standing broad jump! Long legs... yes... but no energy to fly. Hmm... as for studies just pray for concentration power... my mind and heart seems to wonder elsewhere most of time. Yup that's all for today!
*Linda is soaring on God's wings*

Escaping

I have been through so much this week... only becoz of one person. The past has come to haunt me. Close friends would have known who that one person is. As i struggled with the truth i have seemingly fallen back to the past. It was so hard to get up, and i ought to be stronger. What could have happened? Argh... as i sat in church, the peace in my heart was broken. Taking its place was bitterness and resentment. I couldn't seem to handle or control my emotions. Suddenly my thoughts were filled with him. Argh... i needed a solution.

Something was stirring in my heart, it was strong and i knew i had to do something, but what? I wailed in my heart to my only saviour. He gave me a solution and for awhile there was peace in my heart. But my mind was still filled with him. It was happening all over again. Turning to my a close friend and a confidant, i realised what i was doing... i was probably escaping. Whatever it was, i had to learn to brush it aside. After i was sober, i talked out loud to the Lord in my room. The Lord has opened my eyes and released me from my own fear and placed in me the peace once again.

Yep! How could i have been part of the cell group i am in right now if i was still with him? How could i have reached out to the people whom were precious to the Lord? How could i have forgotten his will? Haha... yes... it's ridiculous to allow one person to come destroy the plans the Lord has. Though i have a mixture of feelings right now and i'm not sure what i have to do next, i know that He will guide my path and protect me.

To my friends: "Thanks for all the concerns and comfort that you have given me. I wouldnt have made it through w/o your prayers and consistent encouragement."

Yup... as the title suggests, the 1 week break is finally here. This break really means alot alot to me. That's because i need to brush up and catch up on lessons which i have missed or am weak in. yep. Today is Wed and i havent done anything constructive yet... yar... don't be surprise. I might be quite a workaholic but... i can be quite a slacker too. Have been going to school everyday except on Tues. Haha yar i'm really happy to be free to do watever i can do, but this means my mind can wander elsewhere too. That's really bad becoz i start thinking of unhappy things. To make things worst, someone whom i don't wish to remember called me but i offed my phone (thankfully). Funnily, when i sms the person if he/she had sth to tell me, the person replied saying " Sry i press the wrong button." I know it's been a loooOoong time but it gave me the melancholy feeling. I was so lost for some reasons but i remembered the lesson the Lord gave me and that uplifted my spirits.

Today i went running, i did sth like 4 rounds the track. It was a good work out and i enjoyed it (except for the incessant nagging frm my mother). After which i rushed to school to do a project with my teammates. Although we didnt do much, i really appreciate the fact that they willing come down during the holidays to do the project. Haha yep! I came back home and i was beat... i tot of taking a 2 hour nap but it extended to 4 hours. I can't help it... it's the holidays wah...
I'm gonna just spend some time with the Lord after this... and i just think the time was well spent even though i didnt do much. Feel free to msg me in my tagboard! I'll get back to you ASAP!

"Good Morning" indeed

Oke here goes... i have only 15 minutes to type out this blog coz lessons are gonna start soon. Heehee... got to go attend a Law lecture later.

It's "amazing" how i started this morning. I got up alittle later as usual becoz the night before i was bz getting the laundry done. For those who have known me long enough, i have never done any household chores all my life. LoL... yes... envy me if you may, i have had a maid until 6 months ago, my mom decided to let me handle it. *Linda groans* Well, initially i had a hard time getting used to it. I mean sweeping, mopping and washing the dishes are so mundane.

So i woke up and dragged myself off the bed. I rushed my way to school only to realise that the morning class was cancelled and nobody notified me!!! Geez... well if i was in school yesterday i would have known, but i wasn't. I so busy practicing and preparing for my music exam. Yea... and speaking of which, the exam didn't go as smoothly as i expected. I panicked alittle here and there and i kept playing the scales wrongly! My fingers went all nimble and argh... wat a time to have butter fingers. Woohoo oh look at the time.. i really ought to be going.

That's all for now... see ya!
