trying to breathe

this is the time of the month that i hate. all the deadlines to meet, projects to rush... i'm kinda sick and tired of it all. bah!! and thanks to FP, i almost broke down twice. hmm,come to think of it, i shouldn't have controlled, if not i'll probably snap really soon. i'm seriously worried about FP, pple tell me not to worry, i TRY not to, but it just keeps coming back! [its no small matter!!] its that bad to the extend that i had a nightmare of it, that i got not 1, but 2 big F's for that module. *sniff*

*pulls hair*

i think i shall go scream soon. i hope this stress thingy dun affect my tolerance level. Thank God for people who never fail to brighten my day..

*just keep going, just keep going, just keep going going going....* (frm Finding Nemo, "just keep swimming..."

HAH! talking is easy. doing is a total different thing. somehow i feel that my list is gettin longer, not shorter. now i wonder why..

haha, new version of itsy bitsy spider

The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the birthday cake,
he ate up all the frosting,
and got a tummy ache,
and when they brought the ice cream,
he ate even more,
and the itsy bitsy spider fell sick upon the floor.
They took him to the doctor because he felt so bad,
it was the worst tummy ache that he ever had,
and when they brought the medicine it was WAY TOO SWEET,
just a drink of water would be a great big treat,
so the itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout,
down came the rain,
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again!

ok found that amusing.. came across it at http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/2559.html.

other than that, my saturday morning seems to be going well. i have inspirations for the music lessons plans!! about time loh. i have to get everything done by MONDAY! haha, thanks to aunty linda for some tips! haha.. if only next year i get attached at YOUR center! haha though not very likely, but hey! u never know...

Go UP, go DOWN

well well well, today is certainly an interesting day, if i do say so myself. To cut a long story short, much happened, and i certain hope it gets solved soon! To leen, dun worry girL!!!
haha yeah, went to ART FRIEND at bras pasar to get materials for our proj. and i tell you, i LOVE that place! i could practically feel my brain juices flowing as i passed each shelf and rack.. the colours, the papars, the cloths and more.. SIGH!! ok anway, we saw LOTS of boxes in the storeroom, n we wanted to ask if we could have them for our learning centers. yeah, we need LOTS of them to build, well build everything.. from the chairs to tables to shelves. YEPPP. but we saw loads outside the store, so beeling n i went digging for boxes while leen paid for our stuffs. haha we looked like those "karang guni" men, and pple kept staring at us the whole time! oh wadever! haha do in the end we got four huge boxes and more card boards too. Then when we carried it in front of us and walked in a straight row, we looked as though we are protesting against something loh!.haha but i found is such a funny episode. Shared a cab back and left all the stuff at leen's place.

Sigh, talking abt proj, i have to forgo all the other stuffs planned for my weekend!! *heaves a big sigh* no movie, no ys, no party. SIGH SIGH SIGH!!!!!!!! sorry to the pple out there, i can't make it! even though i initially thought i could. =/

AND the contemporary dance is FULL!!!! *wails* the lady called n told me today! so i can either join the ballet one or the full day symposium one. and after much consideration, i decided to give the symposium a miss, and ballet too. Cos i'm not really into ballet.. so they're gonna return the cheque.. oh well. i guess its all for the best!! considering the amount of work piling up up up!!

and my ankle is hurting AGAIN!!!!! argh!!! so annoying i tell you. like hello?? how long has it been already?? can u jus HEAL!?!?! argh. letme see.. feb-aug.. that would be 7 months!!!? =/ should i go see the chi phy again? but like so troublesome.. sigh.

Busy, with a capital "B"

And the work is endless! i'm kinda sick of it now actually.. i think i wont go for the movie on sat, and i'm thinking should i miss YS too anot.. and go home after Mission training..plus sunday's gonna be really packed as well! and there goes my time to complete any work. then more i think abt it, the more i think i shd do some sacrificing.. sigh! and i have no idea how am i going to do any work later on cos my mind is literally dead..

For You

I said a prayer for you today

and i know God must have heard,

I felt the answer in my heart

although He spoke no word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame-

I knew you wouldn't mind-

I asked Him to send treasures

of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He be near you

at the start of each new day,

To grant you health and blessings

and friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you

in all things great and small;

But it was for His loving care

I prayed the most of all!

Dance

dance is coming up sooN!! and i hope i can manage my time well... yeah, not going to miss it for the world! so yeah, i'll still go anyway. hmm, after all its just for three days, 6 hours in total only, and its for God. so why not right.. besides, it can be a way to de-stress.. dum dee dum dum.

projects are going to drive me nuts! going to.. not yet. but hopefully not soon. see?!! i'm not even making sense here!

a sigh of relief

*whew*
i passed. Thank God for his grace.

My mentor still gave A LOT of comments (which i don't really mind, cos it helps me to improve) but she alomost marked me down due to the classroom management thing. And frankly speaking, i think my classroom management is really bad. siGH!!!! oh well, now one down, one more to go (for this term) and another 2 more to go (for NEXT term). To a certain someone: Don't be disheartened, don't even think of giving up. Just take all of it as a learning experience! look on the bright side, u passed too!!

yeah.. so far so good. everything is great! I really should be rejoicing now shouldn't I? *thinks* and *nods* yepp.

*rejoices*

=)

argh!!! my annoying neighbour is BLASTING his karaoke!! as usual!! he really BLASTS it so LOUD loh. Thanks for being considerate. NOT. how am i supposed to concentrate?! thats y studying at home has its numerouos disadvantages. Not only does it have high noise levels at UNPREDICTABLE times of the day, there's always the television and computer to distract me from completing my work. Ok, the latter i can control. its all about discipline and setting my priorities straight. But all the BLASTING?? nopes! *shakes head* i should just go over to tell him to lower the volume!! argh!

okay, other than that, my work seems to be making smooth progress.. oH! my attachment assesment is tmr!! i had better pass this time round man.. *thinks* yeah, leave everything to God. *nods*

suddenly i feel like eating bee hoon. wait, i just ate that for lunch!!! oh well, i STILL feel like eating bee hoon. *chants* bee hoon! bee hoon!

church was great!! nothing new.. church has always been great. haha =)

there are times for everything.. so use ur TIME wisely.

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose
under the heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together;

A time to embrace,
and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

yepp!

summary

just ONE word.

"wow!"

what an amazing week!! full of the incredible UPS and the little downs.. yeah man!! leave everything to God!! =) i still can't believe the stuffs that has happened, but yeah, thank God for always being there. its great that i am finally able to go for the mission trip! And now all i have to get through are my project deadlines, endless assignments,(challenging ones too i might add) and not to mention the remaining couple of tests and written papers i have to sit before it's "finally over" for my first sem. but yeah, nothing is impossible.

well, come to think of it, studying seems like an easy job compared to what other teenagers our age are facing around the world. Famine, war, poverty..... and the list goes on. hmm, shouldn't we be thankful that we have a proper education?? haha talking is easy, yeah, just a thought.

so! when u are sick of studying, think. would u rather be starving, be without a home or sth.. or would u rather study? haha k this is like a bit irrelevant already.

so humans out there!! study!! you are not alone!! everyone has to go through the stressful studying periods.. and don't think it will end after each year. it gets worse. haha ok i'm not exactly helping here am i? hiak hiak...

Lamer Alert!!!

2nd post =)

intro: welcome!! The "Lame Lame" productions proudly presents a musical lame show!

Scene 1

All: Sing a song of sixpence
a party full of rye,
Four n twenty KITTY -CATS
baked in a pie
When the pie was open
the cats begin to sing
*MEOW MEOW PURR PuRR MEW*
Now wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king??

Scene 2

King: (yells) WHO PUT THE KITTY-CATS INTO MY PIE?!?! bring me the cook at once!!!!
Cook: (frightened) i didn't do it!! they must have jumped into the pie when i wasn't looking!
The kitty cats sing: (to the tune of mary had a little lamb) we didn't mean to jump inside, jump inside, jump inside, we didn't mean to jump inside, it was so scary!!
Mommy cat: (wails) where are my kitty cats!?!?!??!!!!
Queen: (annoyed) Can u all just quit the noise and hurry up sing the right verses so i can eat my Sunshine bread and honey?!?!
Maid: (dances) ladidaaaa, i still have my pretty nose!!!

(exits)

hahaha. ok. got the inspiration from my text book. YES. my textbook. haha so much for inspiration for the music lessons.

n u have to know the full actual song to know what crap i was writing about.

And i realized that was so NONSENSICAL!! surprise surprise! ok, don't kick me when u see me ok.. HAHAHA.

haha

some 'things' just can't be explained.. =)

P.S. i got the highway code book from Eava! haha shall start to study it soon!! can't wait to learn man! though it looks as though there's A LOT to learn.. but i'm interested! so that is what counts right.. haha not going for classes.. save money. so i need all the help i can get!! =)

[add] www.dancecollective.net

anyone wants to join?? registration extended til 3 sept!! haha i wanna join! i am joining.. only a matter of choosing WHICH dance.. contemporary? hip hop?? musical theatre?? jazz?
[/add]

The other F Word

F also = Failure.

yep. i totally screwed up the art assessment today.

[shan't elaborate it here]

like "hello geri?!?" how can u even fail it?! its so easy!!
sigh, so much for the effort put in. i have to admit, i was feeling rather useless..

i think there has been too many good things happening to me, so this failure thing is something to balance it out. hAHA. BIG joke. wad nonsense, geri, u trying to console yourself?!?! well, i almost passed, if that is something to be glad about..

On the otherhand, at least i'm given another chance, which is already something to be thankful for. Furthermore, its NOT the end of the world.. God is not gonna like judge us on our grades in school right.. besides, we have to be "positive in the face of trials!" and may this be a learning experience for me... to improve and become better.. be it being a teacher or character wise..

crosses fingers

i HATE the F word.

F for Fear. its plain stupid man. arhh.

anyway,geri chants:

pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.
pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.
pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.pls allow.

PLEASE ALLOW!!!!!

[edit] and why oh why must they shift our holidays UP?!?! like, first u took away one week of hols.. then u are going to take away another MONTH of holiday?! excuse me!!?? of all the years!! ugh!! (k i know very drama, but i cant help it!!!) i SO HATE the shift in the semester year!!! *wails* [/edit]

The Secret Cavern

Underneath the boardwalk, way, way back,
There's a splendid cavern, big and black-
If you want to get there you must crawl
Underneath the posts and steps and all
When i've finished paddling, there i go-
None of all the other children know!

There i keep my treasures in a box-
Shells and coloured glass and queer-shaped rocks,
In a secret hiding place i've made,
hollowed out with clamshells and a spade,
Marked with yellow pebbles in a row-
None of all the other children know!

... Margret Widdemer

what a great day with great weather! nice *pitter patter* of the raindrops.. plenty of reminiscence, plenty of smiles..

thinking...

i'm in such a sentimental mood now.. listening to those kind of music makes it worse..haha.

I so dread going to school again...

i rather do something else.. like.. haHa nvm. only bev knows..

The Mission

To love the Lord our God is the heartbeat of our mission-

The spring from which our service overflows.

Across the street, all around the world

The mission's still the same-

To proclaim & live the truth in Jesus's name.

isn't it funny how when u are enjoying yourself, time seems to fly by? i'm like halfway through my holidays and somehow i don't feel as though i have accomplished as much as i wanted to. YET. But thankfully to God, my week has been much blessed with laughter and joy.
