Collecting 'O' Level results

Ok, I know blogging about this topic should be a few days ago, but, it's not I don't want to, it's I can't...

Well, speaking about this, I really feel so happy about it (people please don't call me show off , I really feel happy...), can you imagine, of the 4 subjects I took, I actually improved in 3 of my subjects!!! I've got 16 points for L1R4!!! Wow! That was what I wanted last year, and I got it! Praise the Lord!!!

Well, I got quite a number of people to thank though.

1. Of course is my Heavenly Father, He's faithful always, and Matthew 6:33 does work!!! Thank God for the blessing in studies!!

2. Qi Hui, I got tuition for free!! Haha, joking joking, but seriously, I really gotta thank her for taking out time to come and teach Wei Siong and me, not forgetting Jason Chong!! Learnt science once again from Qi Hui, even though not much, but had fun. :)

3. My school teachers, especially Mr Shah and Mr Khoo. They've both been patient teachers, and I did improve my science through their guidance. :)

4. My beloved leaders, Xiu Wen and Elaine, for giving me all the moral support and praying for me. :) Not forgetting other members that have also given me moral support! :)

5. 5A and 5B, especially Wei Lun, Chie Kuan, Chen Peng, Chin Leong and rest of the gang, had alot of fun getting to know you guys even better, and thank you for your guidance in class when I don't understand, and thanks for waking me up whenI doze off!! :P

6. The fellow 'O' levellers that have studied together with me. Shamus, May, Wei Qiang, Cerenna, Kalyn, Alvin. Not forgetting Wei Siong also, even though he studied for his 'N' level, but we did help each other. :)

7. Last one, hmmm, was wondering whether to put this, but I think I might as well add this in also, thank you Benjamin Chan for bringing me back to church! Without you, I wouldn't have known so many people!! :)

All I know now is that I have to quickly make up my mind on which course to go, if not, I'll be schooless...

Last Sunday celebrated Elaine's birthday, hmm, the surprise wasn't that surprised, but it was a fun celebration though. I'm sure Elaine had fun. :)

I go look at my JAE book...

Forgiving

Well, the title is not actually whom I want to forgive, but it's actually the title of the message that was preached by Pastor Tan on Sunday service! An impactful one!

I learnt the true meanings of forgiveness.

1. Forgiveness is unconditional
2. Forgiveness does not minimize the seriousness of offence
3. Forgiveness isn't resuming a relationship without change
To resume a relationship:
a) genuine repentance
b) restitution (restoring)
c) rebuilding trust (takes time to do it)
4. Forgiveness isn't forgetting what happened
5. Forgiveness isn't my right when I wasn't the one being hurt

Seriously, this is really really an important message, because it kind of suits me. This sentence is interesting though.

" Life is 10% 'what happened' and 90% how we react to it." Quite true though. Another one.
"If we judge what we value by our circumstances, we will de-value what is important to give value to what is momentary."

After service, most of us went to eat 'ban mian'. Haha, had fun fellowshipping. After lunch, Xiu Wen, Gary, Wei Siong, Siyuan and me went to Jurong Point, Xiu Wen went to meet Shella though. In the end we ended up in arcade, Gary left to meet his friend I think, then halfway Xiu Wen and Shella left, leaving the three of us. Wei Siong and I played the basketball machine again..haha, it was fun. We then went to some shops and look at our own individual stuffs before Siyuan went down to buy waffle. We then had quite a long talk, about the cg and stuffs. Although a long talk, but at least we know our views for the cg, and we knew each other a bit better. Hope to have more similar fellowships like this.

Then when Wei Siong left, left Siyuan and me continue talking, about the same topics though, only difference was some stuffs were from her past. We then parted and I went home, I planned to meet Raymond and Nick. Haha, had quite a good chat with them also. Arrgh...tired, I go sleep.

Today was a talking day!! :P
