random thoughts
met this really nice gal, who was my first opponent for the ssra competition, again on my second day. it's quite nice how we got to know each other. played with her a bit when no one was using the courts. i think i have a super big weakness when i play games -- i tend to slip out of focus easily. today was a pretty rough time. the first match was a sure loss, so it didnt really bothered me. guess i didn't really give it my all, which is bad la. the second one, i lost because i wasn't fierce enough! which is definitely something i could have done better. argh!!! if only i knew when to call for lets and strokes and when to just kill and not give loose shots and when to serve hard and when to do drops. argh!! the latter was really a lousy game. but i picked up something from my new friend, may b able to share with the others on how to improve our games.. :D at least i brought something home.
taking a step back, you can't help but realise how this march break seems to slip through your grip. one week may seem a pretty decent length of time to pick up loose ends and prepare for the upcoming common tests, or was it all an over-estimate? i want to believe in the latter if it helps to bring assurance that i've done my best flipping tys-es, going through well-plodded terrains of organic chemistry, theory of income or current of electricity, asking questions and getting answers for them. but reality tears all these illusions apart -- i've done none of these, not even anywhere close. it's not purely because of other activities, but rather my priorities. i don't know how many others are going through this emotional roller-coaster as i am -- knowing what we ought to do, yet not setting our hearts towards the final goal. it's not purely academic, my goal, but rather this is a benchmark towards my goal. yet i've done nothing to move along.
we're moving to a brand new day soon. it's going to be a wednesday. robs is off to indonesia for missions, do keep her in prayer. i'm sure that's something much more meaningful than what i've been doing the past few days, if we've the heart for it. hopefully one day, i'll take the step of faith and be out in the missions field. i hope everyone's doing fine, especially smo!! we all haven't heard from you for ages, really will like to hear from you soon. miss you lots!

gaps
i guess everyone has gaps in their lives. everyone's just striving to outdo each other so that they feel their sense of worth in their community. it's pretty coincidental that this theme of dissatisfaction with our present status keeps coming into play today, firstly at the yep presentation that tk and i went for, and secondly during cell. tk and i went to the library to mug after lunch together, and we were pretty entertained by a group of j1s from choir practising their vocals. was pretty tired, somehow homework seems to tire our brains out easily, so we decided to head to the squash courts to train a bit before going for the yep talk. marianne chong joined us for the discussion session after the yep presentation, and brought up some thought-provoking points. why is it that students are more generous with their time and themselves during yep trips when dealing with the locals there than when they're back home in singapore with underprivelleged kids? some people offered that they had less distractions in the foreign country and were prepared to set aside time to help out, whereas locally, they're too caught up with never-ending tutorials and assignments, coupled with cca commitments etc, to be able to give their time to others. then what triggers this rat race of finishing work so that acing the exams wont be an issue, and that they'll earn scholarships and get into good universities overseas and receive good job opportunities in time to come? there's no one solution to deal with this kind of mindset, and it's really up to the individual on what he or she believes in, on what he or she prioritises in life. the paper chase is like a rat chasing its tail, there's no end to it cos people are never satisfied with what they have! okies, i think i'm going to sound preach-y if i dont put an end to this. and for cell, we kinda shared about stuff along this theme as well. and it's amazing to learn that my fellow cellmates who are much younger than me have so much more experience than me, and are more grounded in the Word. actually it's not surprising that they are more grounded in the word, but more because of the experience they shared and what they stood for. they're just simply admirable. :) let's walk along with christ, and keep up with his footsteps.
there's training tml, and i'm tired now. need to rest, cos the day will be long.
