Loop or Shuffle?

Been a lazy day.. I spent the whole day lazying around the house cooped with my readings. Been carrying my readings everywhere I go. (except the bathroom) Something really has to be done to those ant-sized fonts. They are a hazard to people with poor eyesight like me. No wonder the amount of short-sighted people in Singapore is rising. Darn.. Anyway, all these readings seem to make no head or tail because when with 3 history modules this semester every reading seems to be talking more or less about the same thing. Crapz..

1 Sheep, 2 Sheep, 3 Sheep...

Woohoo, I've got a counter for the blog.. Quite a nice piece of addition I would say. Been a long day for me, as usual, every Tuesday ends at 8pm but today it started at 8am too cos I had to discuss tutorial HW with my group and the only time we had in common was 8-10.. Crapz but anyway it was fun. We were quite a dynamic mix that we came up with Dynamix as a group name.. LOL!!

Something not so nice happened to me today and I was in for quite a shock but then thanks God that everything turned out fine (i guess) and it was resolved eventually. Looks like I have to be smarter next time when I buy/do things

Monday blues?

Been choing-ing throught my readings and tutorials this whole day cos tutorials starts this week!!! arrgh.. Seems to me Monday as a free day is quite good. It's a day where I can adjust myself from fellowship(slack) mode to studying(mugging) mode. Maybe I should strive to make Mon a free day as much as I can from now on.

Sunny Side Up

I am an egg lover, maybe that's why my name is Aik(Egg) Hui. Seriously, I like to eat all kinds of egg-related stuff. And so I was browsing through blogskins, I found this skin which is quite cool and kinda related to my life and voila, here it is. I guess this skin should be staying quite a while until I grow tired of eggs (which I think I never will).

Anyway, I've almost completed my SS lesson and I am headed towards teacher training class which will last for 6 months of Sundays starting September. I know I don't really have a knack for teaching but since this training comes once in a blue moon, I think I should just attend it and then make decisions after that. Definitely, the kingdom of God comes 1st and I have to work towards that rather than obeying my physical restrictions.

Heading back to my readings.. Nitez..

Eye Wide Shut

Went for air rifle training. The 1st I've been to in so many years.. I was counting, almost 4 years!! I'm not really a great shot but at leat I could remember the techniques that I was taught many years ago.. I've been contemplating the idea of shooting good enough to join the school team but the thought vanished when I remember how I used to tell the younger youths in church about chasing pretty rainbows.. All are vanities, everything the world can provide are all vanities.. So why should I be so bothered to join the school team.. All I have to do is to do my best and let God do the rest, whether to join the school team is up to Him, not me. I just have to attend trainings dillengently and God will show that His mercy and grace never fails.

Ants Attack!!!

After choing-ing through all the readings over the weekend and monday to prepare for the 4 lectures on tuesday and surviving all 4 lectures on tuesday, I've decided to declare Wednesday as a rest day for myself. I don't mind reading a lot of stuff but the only thing that I don't like is the ant-sy words that is bothering my eyes, somehow, when I am really tired and my eyes start to play tricks on me, the words starts to dance like ants, crawling on the paper and believe it they do resemble ants. So now on a hot Thursday afternoon, I'm in school looking at the ant-ish words again trying to make academic mountains out of the ant-hill of readings. Will be a short day today but there's YPM later at Angela's house and it was her birthday yesterday so I think we are celebrating it later, though it's a little late. And lastly, Happy Birthday Angela. A year older means more responsibilities and I am going to give you these responsibilities as your bday present. Haha..

Looking back at the day
Whatever can I say
The time past and gone
And now I am all alone

The sky quickly darkens
And the crickets awaken
Wondering under the stars
Amidst the sound of cars

Wishing for the night to end
So that you can see ahead the bend
Hoping for you the best
When you can finally rest

Break a leg...

Am now in school trying to live with the noise generated by NUS breakers. So you might be thinking what's NUS breakers? They are a bunch of people who wanna break some guiness record by folding paper cranes and something like that.. it's about breaking records. I was like alamak, of all things they can think of. Can't we think of something more on the academic side like a record of 1st class honours students, record-breaking sportsperson from NUS? of all things under the sun -> paper cranes??? whoever thought of this must be crap.. hahaz. Anyway, I hid in the library to escape the noise and the recuiters who earnestly try to recruit everyone into the event.

To be or not to be?

It has come to a point in time where I have to make important decision. I've been thinking seriously over it coupled with earnest prayer and meeting up with older people in the church to talk about it. Initially, I thought that I've made the right choice then when things started happening, I regretted doing so and in a moment of haste, I made a quick decision without thinking through but eventually, after talking with my mom, I made the final choice and after that, I really felt at ease, really at ease. I know that God has a plan in everything He does and I'm not one who is supposed to hasten it or to hamper it. All I can do is to await for His will to be done and if I'm involved in it, I'll definitely be involved so why should I bother so much? Too kaypo is not good was an important thing I've learnt in the army and it's a lesson I've learnt well.

Back to square one

Due to unsatisfactory performance of the new blogskin, as there is some transition problems with the html code, I've decided to stick with this skin as it's still quite reliable. Until i can find time to work out the problems, this 'girly' blogskin will stay here. Personally I don't find it girly. Angela: a rainbow is unisex lor.. haha..

Another new skin

Due to some comments that my rainbow skin looks quite girly (-_-"), I have decided to change my blog skin. This is so かわいい = cute and I like it cos it describes what I mostly do which is to make people smile and laugh by making a fool out of myself. (^v^) But I guess it's just something that I am born with which is to tickle the funny bone of others. Well, hope I can tickle myself to laugh with this new skin. heh..

Musings

I was looking through my blog and I find that I happen to be talking quite a lot about the weather. *grinz. But seriously, Singapore's weather is erractic though it's on the equator but it's just so unconstant. Well, on to the main topic. Went for AWC orientation today and boy, I think I am facing serious competition if I want to get selected to enter the shooting team. There are really at least 4-5 guys there who have much experience in shooting and have been shooting for the past few years by representing their unit in army shooting events. I think I will have to buck up in order to get somewhere. But I love this thing, shooting is a thrill and it's an interest I'd since secondary days, however, I never took it seriously, or maybe I should say, I never take anything seriously, that's why people always don't take me seriously. Training will start for me next friday and I'd like to see how far I can go in this aspect.

Another new day

Went to school in the middle of the day and boy, the weather was hot, extremely hot. I was squinting my eyes at everything that reflected the glare of the sun. I was perspiring everywhere I went. Somehow, I think I need to thank God for air-con. 'hee' Now, I'm waiting for the start of my lecture, the only one for the day. I'll be having Air Weapons Club orientation in the evening. Will post later to update on that. Chiao...

2nd post to compliment the 1st

Went for night class today. Learnt a lot from Pastor Zhang regarding God's moulding of Jacob. Jacob shows me many aspects of human nature and most of these are present in us, especially pride. It takes a certain kind of understanding and acknowledging our shortcomings before we let God take control of our lives. I take that as an important lesson learnt today. Well, tmr will be another new day. It will be just a 2-hr lecture tmr, easy to survive through it unlike the tuesday timetable. Will post more musings tmr.

A post for the day

Yah! spending time to coop myself at home on the bed, in front of the computer. It's a free day and it will be a free day after the tutorial balloting!! I like free days, it lets me catch up on my readings and to print them in preparation for the next few lectures. Also, having time to myself lets me think of my service to God, esp this year where I am the camp commandant of the Dec YF camp. Looking 2 years back, I would never have seen myself taking up this role but then I see now as a chance to serve God. The years passing by have made me into a different person, I'm a little more matured, have a good analytical mind and also able to understand the concerns of others. But there's more room for growing and maturing. I wanna be a good citizen that belongs to the King.

A new day of happenings and revelations

Today was a day of lectures till 8pm, I was pretty amazed that I was able to keep myself awake till that time with a barrage of 3 lectures starting from 2. In a total, I had 4 lectures today with one starting at 10am and I can say, I'm pretty satisfied with my attention performance so far. Of course, all this isn't possible without God who always through all ways and means manage to sustain His children through various situations.

I wore my new sneakers to school today. I think I bought them half a size too small. It created blisters at the heel and at the pinky toe and so I had a hard time walking around the various lecture venues today. But thank God for preparing a free day for me tomorrow so that I can rest my tired feet by slacking at home.

Met Ruth today again to sign the laptop loan as a guarantor. After that, we were going for lunch when she decided to walk through the bazaar. In the end she bought a handphone Bible verse chain for $8, then she started whining if it was too expensive. Well, all I could do was to tell her what's bought is bought, you just have to use it to your best.

That set me thinking, it's more or less the same with the way things work. No matter how much we think and pray before we do something, there's always consequences and then after that, we have to deal with the consequences and all that follows. Because we had placed the thing in God's hands and definitely, He is the one who allows the consequences to happen so as to mould us into a better person through the choices that we make.

Sometimes, I think I think too much into things and end up doing nothing at all because I'm always afraid of what will happen. I look back in my life and I agree with that. I'm afraid to throw myself into a relationship, afraid to take risks, afraid of how this one action will affect others, afraid of this, afraid of that, etc. Praying and committing choices to God is one thing, making the 1st step to do the thing after God has replied is another thing. I must say that it's time that I started learning how to do the next step.

School beckons and other thoughts

It's weird to go to school on a gloomy Monday morning. The sky was overcast the whole day today, my mom kept telling me it's haze, but I think it's just the clouds. Anyway, the start of school should be an aniticipating moment but well, somehow I am not very anticipated to go to my lectures, rather I'm feeling constipated. Various thoughts run thru my puny head - What if I get a lousy lecturer, what if I find I cannot survive in this module, what if my project mates are a hopeless bunch, what if... Plenty of what ifs but no answers to them. I know God has a plan and purpose when I prayed before the bidding of my modules. I handed the success of the bidding to Him and with what I got, I should thank Him and do my best in those modules. That's what I know, but I forsee that it's not what I am going to do - it's human nature i guess. Well, school is still school with all the problems but I've considered myself blessed as not everyone gets a chance of education at the uni level. So I've to depend on God to guide me in the modules rather than depending on my human nature.
Went for Bible class on Chuch history by Pastor Zhang. It's the last lesson of this topic and I've got to say that I'm impressed. Looking back at history makes me wonder how people cope with their problem then and how much differently are we doing so now, especially in the area of evangelism, I can say I am not lifting my finger the least to evangelise. Somehow or rather, I've kind of psycho-ed myself that I don't have the gift of evangelism. Again, it's the darn human nature that's playing a fool here. I guess it's my inability to talk sense that I find myself not convincing to others. It's something I definitely have to work on in my years to come as a growing older and older Christian and an exemplary role in church.

A new skin, a new beginning

Yoz ppl, here I am back again after a year.. I've been blog-hopping for so long and I've decided that blogger.com is the BEST blogging service there is. I've been to friendster, MSN spaces, livejournal, none of them meets my expectations. So after some tuning to make my blog look a little more exciting, I'm back now again in full colours of the Rainbow.
