Today has been really laid back but I just know that this coming week is going to be hectic as usual. Highlight of this week has been and will be the fantastically fun barakuda practices. It’s just so wacky. Haha. And yes, it’s been confirmed that for now, Sayang and I are the only two year 1 girls. Not that there were that many girls to begin with!
Work at the clinic is getting boring and redundant now that they have got a full time clinical assistant to replace me. I wish it was much busier then I would be able to run around and act all flustered. Haha. Did a couple of photos today and took the pressure, refraction and vision. Haven’t done those in eons. OCT as usual. Let me guess, all of you haven’t a clue what I am blabbering on about. Never mind. One of these days I will explain. For now, all you need to know is that I am a clinical assistant and enjoy the good life there.
Was supposed to meet Stephen at Queensway shopping centre but things got a bit late and I pulled out. Still feel bad about it. Hehe. Alternative? Stayed at home and did some work amidst the kicking back and relaxing.
Updates: I have cut my hair and in my opinion it is horrible.
Scholarship is moving slowly and just waiting for referees.
I have not been getting sufficient sleep and sleep in class almost every day.
Still trying to find a good spiritual support group somewhere in school.
Basically there are a lot of changes for me to get used to.
So before my head hits the keyboard, I shall take my well-deserved leave.((:
Yes. It is a page filled with nostalgia. Especially after yesterday and talking to sharon. I want to wear my school uniform again just to go to school and enjoy life. I miss the environment where you always had somewhere to go no matter what. You could walk into an empty classroom and just sit down to relax. You could sleep in the canteen and stay almost all night and no one would know. I miss the camps, the food, the people and… truth is, we are always going to stand out.
The polka dots are always going to be distinctive.
Hello again.
It is the end of yet another day and I am not in my best state of mind and physical appearance. Had navigator’s sharing this morning at 815 and then studied at the library til PAS tutorial this morning. Lunch was a relaxed affair in the SIM food court. A group of us slacked back in block 81 until lecture at 1. I fell asleep for almost all of the first half but really woke up when Dr Ron started to explain the cardiovascular system. It is really cool and sooooo intricate. By then I already had a splitting headache. Probably due to lack of sleep, water and intense heat.
Sat down for a while in the air-conditioned library before being called to go down and help Mel and Reka find their bearings. From there I took Mel to blk 81 where I was supposed to meet Stephen to watch the FOC videos. That in itself was a journey and I was all hot and bothered by the time I sat down to watch them. He ran off to do his HS idol things. I had a great time with Mel and then Shehlin and Bekah came. They made me even more high and it was as if we had gone back to the old times in school. One funny thing was that Mel was with me and she was wearing her MI uniform. Stephen actually asked her (in all innocence) “so which secondary school are you from?” I just cracked up. But then, I guess that is better than being asked which primary school you came from, right Shehlin?
After attending to a few administrative matters, we all trooped down to meet Faiz at the atrium and spent our time in the Library. All us St. Marg’s girls. haha. I decided to ask stephen something and this is how some of our conversation went…
Amy: Hey. Do you have any allergies?
Stephen: Allergies? No. Why?
Amy: Oh. I was just filling up a form and they asked if Stephen Chua from yr2 HS had any allergies. yea.
Stephen: What?? Serious??
Amy: Yea. I thought you knew you were so well known…
AND GULLIBLE!!!! HAHAHAHA.
I guess you can picture the rest. “you idiot!” “HAHAHAHA!”
Barakudas was a bomb cos I just learnt so much and hey, I can play!! Had to leave earlier due to curfew and things so I will learn the other two songs on Wednesday. I can’t believe we are playing on the 25th!!
The more I think about all of todays events, the more my head hurts so I shall call it a day here and go bathe.
Love to one and all,
amyruth.
Please don't cry
You know I'm leaving here tonight
Before I go I want you to know
that there will always be a light
And if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away, ya
So many times I planned
To be much more than who I am
And if I let you down
I will follow you 'round until you understand
That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away, ya, oh ya
When the days all feel the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
And I will shine on, for everyone
So please don't cry
Although I leave you here this night
Where I go how far I don't know
But I will always be your light
That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away, ya, oh ya
When the days all seem the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
Shine on, for everyone
When the stars all look the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
Shine on, for everyone
It has been a while since I last jotted some thoughts or captured some memories here. Not really the thing I am into. Good outlet for babbling I guess. Wanted a few quotes and got a couple from Stephen which concluded in my quote which is…
“God doesn’t do Coincidence.”
How cool is that. No, I am not talking about the quote but about the very fact that God doesn’t do Coincidence. He plans everything. It is of no coincidence that I was born into this family nor that I went to Christian schools all my life and just happened to get plonked into a non-Christian school. The friends I have made is of no coincidence. Like Campus Crusade’s vision, I want to be that someone so that everyone in HS knows at least one person who lives for Christ.
Now you want to know about Ngee Ann and health sciences? Truth is that I don’t really know what to say about it. People think poly is really easy going and all, reality-check: it is double, if not triple, hard. This difficulty goes beyond academic and stretches to social and spiritual adaptation and growth. The culture is so different that I had to stop this morning before going to school to pray that God will protect me from falling into the clutches of the evil one. Sounds really dramatic and all right? But the fact is that I started to put off spending time with God and growing in his word. Prayer was the last thing on my mind for quite a few nights. It wasn’t until I was caught in a spiritual dilemma on whether to join Barakudas or Campus Crusade that I realised my need for God’s ultimate supremacy and governance in my life.
Just to set things straight, people in Ngee Ann aren’t anymore gangsters than almost any other school. [at least not so far] Whether it is their language, mannerism, beliefs or physical actions, they have distinctly different values and standards from what I should have . That is one reason why I really need to have a firm foundation in my faith, firmly anchored to the truth in both personal and shared activities. To all those who are going to or are considering going to poly [or any other non-christian institution] don’t fall away or lose your foothold. It is easy to fall away but hard to get back up.
Remember, your friends aren’t always going to be there but God will. You just have to keep that relationship with him strong. He wants that. Do you?
