surprises

the alarm clock kept buzzing off this morning, and i stomped out of my bed to shut it off.
unknowingly, i was susceptible to the bed beckoned.
the next thing i knew was, 'its seven in the morning'
I sat up at a perpendicular angle and contemplated if i should go school or not.
The consequence of being late for school dissuaded me to attend it.
I made deliberate effort in setting my alarm to 7.30am because i wanted to study till noon, as i have to compensate for what was lost.
however, the effort vanished into thin air. I could not dragged my feet out of my bed!
It was only till about 9 in the morning, that i decided to get up from my position.
Still, i'm astounded by the fact that i could not find the strength to drag out of my bed.

Surprisingly, i did what i had wanted to do.
i studied with dread for three hours.
Spent 2/3 of the time practicing mathematics because i guess, i might have forgotten some basics.
the most hilarious thing was that i reprimanded myself for not being able to do relative velocity questions!
After spending 45 mins on it, i decided to move on to other chapters. =)
I spent 1/3 of my time doing chem and fell asleep on my table, then onto my bed and back to my table again.
I tried to keep myself awake, but my mere strength did not enable me to.
The sweltering heat plus a heavy meal, made me felt lethargic.
I guess i have to admit that the last 1/3 of studying was not fruitful at all!

When the clock striked 2.15pm, my heart beated at a faster rate.
'Prayer meet will being at 4pm! i better get change and head for the train,' as i iron my shirt and droplets of perspiration rolled down from my face. 'Everthing thing is in my bag and i guess i'm ready to leave,' i thought to myself. 'Bye dad!' were the last words before i left the house.

Once again, prayer meet did not start on time due to some people that were late, and i believed that all had consequential reasons for such an action. What i enjoyed most about this prayer meet was that, only DMM can attend. Ting led worship while Joyce played the guitar. It was surprising because i thought they might asked sherman to play. During worship, God reminded us of how Jesus was being mocked at. This unconditional love has gave us the strength to give up certain things in our lives for him. When the prayer meet ended, i met my all my care leaders. It consisted of Joel, Sherman, Sathya, Walter and me. We screened closely into the lives of each leader. Namely, David and Neh. Leaders started off with a burden and their hands moved. They fought from victory and not for victory. Surely, i enjoyed the time spent with them. 50 pairs of socks by end december 2006! we called our group a revival generation with a specific reason. =)

After the prayer meet, i rushed down frantically to cck and meet yk. We head for somewhere and got Melvin a cute soft toy. Yk bought for me a bar of chocolate, and i really appreicated it greatly. I decided to keep the box! =) Then we head for town and met Melvin with the rest of his friends. It brought me a great sense of joy to see Melvin and the rest. I really treasure my the friendship we have with each other. Friends are not something that can be easily found. And i thank God for such people that he has placed in my life. People like Melvin, Jarvin, Yk, Mark, Seah, DMM and sheep. Not forgetting my shepherd, denniers loh. I still find that 'loh' is such a weird surname.

Afterwhich, i head for home with Melvin on the train. He was caught in the limelight because of the huge tortise.
Once again, i treasure all these relationships that God has given to me. Though i might not be able to spend equal amount of time with everyone of them, but in the deepest recesses of my heart, they matter. Thank you, Jesus.

Even as i typed out about my day, my stomach is filled with butterflies. Tomorrow is the start of my prelims, and i have not done my complete preparation. God, i desperately need your help. Help me to excel and choose the right topics to study. Alright, i trust in you.
