BEYOND THE SPHERE

Chu-san.

I don’t usually describe my day or week on my wordpress like others do. That’s not my thing, but I am gonna try it for once.

I have been so tired this chinese new year. I literally slept the whole of chu-yi away. Spent the entire day of chu-er at my grandma’s and when I reached home at 12mn, I just knocked out. (without a shower, eww)

It’s day 3, chu-san of chinese new year. I woke up at 8am for my 10am lessons and guess what? I found out that lessons are at 4pm instead. Best news I’ve heard so far! But oh well, I still have to be in school by 2pm for projects. Miserable chinese new year. To deepen the misery, here’s my exam timetable.

I know some of you don’t get it. It just means that I have truckloads to study and too little time to do that. Sigh.

Note to self: I NEED TO START MY REVISION ASAP.

HCNY.

Happy: What makes you happy in this season?

Chinese: What does being a chinese mean to you?

New Year: So what’s new exactly?

Happy chinese new year, y’all!

Oil is running out.

I’m sorry that this post is about my school work again. I usually don’t post much negative thoughts but I really need to rant this.

It’s been an insane week since school resumed. 6 projects running, a japanese test and 5 written exams coming soon. I always thought that I work well under pressure but this is nothing I’ve experienced before so it’s kicking me real hard. Plus, (yes there’s always a plus) the fact that I am working, dancing and committed to serve. I envy those classmates whose parents pay for their school fees, give them more than enough money to get by, and they only struggle with school work at the most.

“Jiayou” doesn’t seem to be able to add much oil to me anymore as it becomes too frequent a word. Guys, I need something more than that. God, be my strength. Amen.

People need people, too.

I came to understand recently that sometimes I’m guilty of ‘running a pity stall’. When someone tells me his/her problem, I tell him/her this – Oh, you think your problem is serious? Well, check mine out… And I go on to rant about my own situation. The thing is, it already takes a lot for someone to come to you and share a problem, don’t take the person out with your own problems. Be good, and be a good listener. That’s what everyone needs from time to time.

It’s a myth that guys don’t get hurt.

Keep negativity out.

Thank God for making this possible. I will take good care of this laptop more than ever. (Y)!

Busy, busy like A, B, Z.

After this mess is over, let’s get down to social business.

Needs a spiritual paradigm shift.

Today’s sermon was awesome. It spoke so directly into my heart and got me thinking. So here’s a few take-home points I really want to highlight for myself.

1. Knowing that the supernatural wisdom I have, is not my own.

2. “And God granted his request.” Ref: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10

3. To glorify God, don’t pray small prayers.

4. God has placed me in my family, no matter how bad things are. God has a plan for me in this family. (:

What’s the balance?

We all have female friends at some points of our lives. But what makes a strong and biblical friendship with the opposite gender? I’d say the basis is love. Whatever you do (verbal affirmation, encouragement cards, meeting/catching up), do it out of love. Don’t only please the person, please God when you do it. But love alone is so ambiguous, that’s when we need purity. A pure heart, with no other motives, to relate with a female will keep you out of trouble. So gentlemen, don’t refrain from relating with sisters. Relate with them generously but with love and purity (and accountability, for some cases).

Love and purity, guide my heart.
