Whee! I'm blogging again :P
- I just came back from Toastmasters Club Officers' Training today. Haha. I'm the newly appointed Vice President (Public Relations) :P
I've done 3 Prepared Speeches so far, 2 of them at other clubs. And I'm assigned the role of Toastmaster of the Day for the next club meeting! :/ Hope things will go well.
- I watched an original musical put up by my sec school yesterday - "My Father's Gift". It's supposed to be the last part of a trilogy, and was about how the Israelites entered the Promised Land. It's quite coincidental because I just started reading the book of Joshua. Acting and singing was good, and I'm really amazed by how talented the actresses were - the 3 main characters were only sec 1s!!
I love the songs too! Some excerpts:
"We're at the edge of a new frontier
At the start of a new beginning
God has been there to bless your destiny
He can count every grain of sand
Every hair on your head every strand
Put your trust in Him and you'll understand
God will give us the Promised Land
His Promised Land"
"Oh Lord help me to find myself
The one You believe that I could be
Lead me and guide me to walk in your ways
With your love in my heart I can face all of my days"- I went night cycling from 11 Jul 2200 - 12 Jul 0630 with youths from church ^_^
Quite surprised by how I managed to survive the night but I didn't really feel the tiredness until we stopped cycling :)
shall remember to bring snacks along for the next night cycling trip (if there's a next) cos i started getting hungry less than 1 hr after cycling even though i finished my dinner at abt 8.30pm. haha :P

It has been a super super long time since i last blogged -_-" haha.
Anyway, I thank God for the many experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant, I've been through since the last time I blogged "properly".
There really seems to be too many to write about..
- I've received a scholarship from NUH to study Occupational Therapy. This I believe is something really by God's grace. I think it was literally a blessing in disguise of a misfortune. In short, i believe it was probably this event which i mentioned at the scholarship interview that helped me so much.
* indeed, God's ways are far greater than our ways, His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts :)
- there were some issues with the new La Trobe Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Occupational Therapy because its the first year they're having the new course structure in 2009. I'M NOT GOING TO MELBOURNE ANYMORE!
heh. actually, i'm having quite mixed feelings about this. on one hand, the qualifications from LTU seem VERY attractive. haha :P but on the other hand, i prayed after receiving the news and i seem to have more peace in my heart about going to Curtin (which the university i was forst interested in). there are many + points such as:
+ sp's sister is an OT lecturer in Curtin!
+ my aunt has a house 5 mins away from the campus
+ the fieldwork schedule is quite unique, with the last year consisting mainly of fieldwork -> more practice before actually becoming an OT
So maybe this closed door to LTU has brought me back to where God intended for me to go.
- I'm learning driving.
- I'm attending a 4 day course - Certificate in Practical Counselling Skills conducted by TOUCH Family Services
- oh ya! I'm working now, at TOUCH Child Care in Hougang as a Assistant Teacher/Office Staff. but this was not how i found out about the course in the previous point
- i'm tutoring, mainly people i know from church :)
- i attended church camp in malacca, from 18-21 june, and had a really blessed time :)
- still many many more but i shall stop here. don't know when (if ever,) my next post will be though! :P
