happy day happy day!!
today i had my general paper 1 and 2 and econs mid yr exam. was kinda scared at first cox i failed my previous gp essay. first time in my life i failed an english essay. feel so stupid. anyway, for today's paper i did this question.. young people today are materialistic and superficial. how far do u agree with this statement?..cool rite? hahaha! till now i've still not found a single person who did e same question as me. anw, i think dat wad i wrote is quite power. just hope it doesn't go out of point. oh ya, and i wanna thank God. cox as i was reading through the questions i just felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit telling me not to do those questions which they've gone through in lecture and tutorials, cox i did not study for gp. cox if everybody else memorise the points for that questions and know it super well, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for me if i attempt to do it without any background knowledge?
and i oso wanna thank God for keeping me sharp for my paper 2. cox a lot of ppl mistook the summary to be from passage A. initially i oso made that mistake but thank God i realised it was from passage B before i wrote my answer. a lot of my frens realised it after they've written down everything and some of dem din even realise until after the exam.
econs was cool as well. this is like the first time i write non-stop for 1hr 30min. even O levels i was not really familiar with my text la. oh! and i spot on 1 ques.. potential growth vs actual growth. whoo!! my face literally lit up when i saw e 1st ques la. hahaha!! Praise God for His prompting sia! if not i think i wouldn't have been so confident for today's paper la.
okie, im super tired. slpy time!

If You Saw a Lost Child, What Would You Do?
An ABC News Experiment Tests Unknowing Passersby With an Ethical Dilemma
By KRISTIN S. PISARCIK
Imagine you're on a busy sidewalk rushing to work, running an errand or simply out for a stroll, when suddenly you notice a little boy standing all alone. Is he really lost? Do you stop to find out?
To find out what people would do in this situation, ABC News hired four young actors, two boys and two girls, all 7 years old and dressed in everyday clothes. The children took turns standing on the corner of a well traveled street in a city near New York with various hidden cameras planted nearby.
Initially, we asked the children to stand in one place and look scared and frightened. Halle, the first actor to participate, walked out to the street corner and acted like a lost child, looking around for help with no guardian in site. A woman stopped almost immediately because, she said, she sees this sort of thing all the time. But this woman turned out to be the exception. Most people walked right on by. In fact, during our two-day experiment, almost 2,000 people walked by and only 47 stopped to help the "lost children."
The experiment continued with actor Alexis, who stood on the street corner acting lost and frightened. Several minutes pass, and many adults walked by, but no one stopped to help or even ask if she was OK.
"It is just not acceptable to walk past a child like that and do nothing," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and one of the people who helped design this experiment. "A young child on the sidewalk of any American city by themselves is vulnerable, they are at risk."
In fact, if a parent or caregiver leaves a small child alone on the street it could be a crime. Even so, back on the sidewalk minutes ticked by, and one stranger after another walked by the "lost" child. "People are so preoccupied on their cell phones or paying attention to other things, or in a hurry to get somewhere else." Allen said.
Would gender make a difference in how people respond? Would more people stop if the "lost" kids were boys?
ABC News sent Robert out on the street to find out.
Once again, many people passed him. Some were reading books, and others just walked on by.
I found this article in a forum. and found it quite disturbing. and this is not even the worse. let's look at some of e comments..
i would probably leave a lost boy/girl alone as i might be mistaken for a paedophile :(
and you know how adament other people may be about that matter.

no, i wont bother to stop.
its his/her fault for wandering away from his/her parents.
waste of my time as well.
This is super disturbing can? where has all our hearts gone to? study? work? wad's worse is dat these comments were posted by students! wad has become of our youths nowadays? anyway, my purpose for blogging is not to criticise these people but to relate this to evangelism.
We've heard in church time and time again that what's true in e natural is also true in the spiritual. there're thousands and millions of children of God lost in the streets of the world today. are we going to be like the passers-by, pretending not to see them, too preoccupied with "serving God"? are we gonna be like the 1st person who commented? who cares bout wad others think of us more than wad God thinks of us? or are we gonna be like the 2nd person who commented? who heck cares by blaming the lost for not accepting Christ? if that's the case then it makes no difference between us and those heartless people!
Come on guys! our skin needs to get thicker and our hearts, thinner. There're people out there who needs Jesus! let's not be complacent or negligent in winning the lost, but go all out to be fruitful laborers for Christ!
Matt 9:37-38
He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

my energiser battery was too low yest so didn't have e energy to blog. anyway, i wanted 2 blog bout my chi oral! e one i mentioned dat i did not prepare for. anyway, i got the results yest. for reading i got 9/10 and conversation 16/20! Praise the Lord! i really believe it's God's grace which not only pulled me through but also gave me dat A! Praise the Lord for answering my prayers!
another thing i wanna share is dat for wed's bible study, i learned sth which i found to be really cool! u noe normally for students right, sometimes we barely made e passing mark for a test and we're like jumping for joy because the rest of the class or even the school failed the test. so the bible study teacher said sth similar to.. we're in the world but not of the world. i cant realli remember wad she said but the thing which i caught was dat as children of God we're not supposed to be satisfied with a passing grade. no matter how badly the others are doing, we still have the capability within us to be the best in all that we're doing! because He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world! if the Holy Spirit in us is capable of helping us achieve 100%, why settle for 50%, 70%? but of cox after e results are out, Praise God for it no matter whether is it above or below expectations la. cox for everything that happens, there's a purpose!
actually i feel that im very blessed. just a sudden random feeling dat im having as im typing now. hee hee!!

tired!!!! argh!!!
had a super long day in sch today. had 3 blood pumping lessons. first was gp. cox my group was supposed 2 do a presentation on the mass media today. and i did it using microsoft word 2008. and kuku me forgot dat my apple cant connect using e sch wire. so in e end had 2 transfer everything over 2 e teacher's laptop. and just when i tot..."okie! can already!"... E file cant be opened!! argh! u know y? cox e teacher's laptop does not have e updated version of microsoft word. amazing rite? hahaha! so i had 2 convert and transfer again. den i decided 2 test run b4 presenting and... the videos cant be played! so i had 2 transfer e videos over. so instead of a nice and smooth powerpoint, now i had 2 keep exiting and going 2 windows media player 2 play e videos. and by e time everything was ready, half e lesson was already over. so zai rite? hahaha! anyway i kinda rushed through my presentation and all. and wad's so amazing was dat the teacher said dat i was very good! whee!!
secondly was chinese oral. didn't expect 2 take my oral today cox i tot s06 gals will probably take up e whole 3 periods provided each of dem talk for 10 mins. so i didn't realli prepare for it. never did i expect each person to take less than 5 mins! so end up being e 1st person in my class obviously i had 2 take today. i oso duno y, but today's pre-oral stress was extremely high. maybe cox e ppl ard me are oso very stressed ba. so i decided 2 listen 2 some worship songs in my psp and prayed a little. Praise the Lord for removing my nervousness! if not i'll probably stutter and stammer la. and when i saw e passage i was like... er... cox i expected sth much much much more difficult. however though passage was easy, conversation was hard. bout museum. i mean, my vocabs for museum is like super limited la. even if i manage 2 wayang out some ideas i duno how 2 say it in chinese. nevertheless i think i did quite well! at least i spoke with confidence. even my smoke through sounds confident. hahaha!!
3rd is chi test after sch. i was seriously dead tired la. after e 20 choose-word-fill-in-blank(direct translate from chi) questions, i fell aslp. seriously! i even had 3 dreams la! BUT! praise the Lord for His supernatural strength which sustained me through and i manage 2 finish e test and still have time to slp! hallelujah! hee hee!! truly My God is a God of more than enuff!

Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is beautiful.

19-21, 20-22. this was e score for my match against nyjc today. i noe.. haix...
today's match i realli gave my all le. made sure i left everything i have in e court. made sure i ran for every shuttle, made sure i smashed e best i noe how, made sure i dropped my best, made sure i use up all my crappy strategies. hahaha! although im a little disappointed cox it was such a close fight, i know dat my opponent is gd. in fact, most ppl's major weaknesses she dun have. like receiving drop shots, receiving flick shots. end of e day.. it was a gd match to end. wonder if i'll ever play competitive badminton again....oh, and i played a trick on geraldine. gal, pls forgive me for tricking u dat im crying. cox i was realli very sad and needed some amusement.
so after badminton, i went for CANOEING! didn't intend to go into e water. but when i saw dem all paddling, it was so tempting! so i heck care my knee and ankle injuries and got into e boat. didn't expect to capsize too. but kuku xavier go let go of my paddle when i asked him to pull me towards e pontoon. so..*splash*..into e water. and i made great progress today! can finally paddle quite a lot and feather lesser! yeah man! so happy!! im so glad i went for canoeing today! if not i'll still be mourning over my stupid score now la.
but i missed bs again....=(
left early, made my way down, but was still late. so halfway i decided 2 turn back since im like gonna miss half of e lesson which is like a bit no point already.
overall, today was a cool day!

captivated by this song.. when God ran. it's realli an amazing song. reminds me of Daddy God's unfailing love which never fails to touch my heart. here's the chorus to the song..
when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran
sweet sia...
anyway, sch's been great as usual. played cjc yest. lost.. 5-21 13-21. very obvious dat my strokes are stronger than her's but not as stable. and guess wad? my strokes have become so powerful after i joined canoeing dat i broke e strings of both my racquets in 1 match. amazing rite? hahaha!! it caught me by surprise oso. another thing which surprised the team was my opponent. we tried to guess their line up such dat we sacrifice 1 singles 2 their best player. so i wasn't suppose 2 meet their best singles. obviously, things din turn out e way we wanted it and so zhun i tio her. so in e end i lost. 2nd set wasn't so bad. 1st was trashing defeat! so unacceptable.. den i went back to school after e match for canoeing land prac. as many of u guys should noe, im a person who has very high expectations on myself. so when i cannot achieve dat, i'll do all kinds of stupid things. so for yest's land prac, although my ankle is still injured, i did 1/2 times more of wad everybody else was doing to vent my anger. and of cox it aggravated my injury. nevertheless, the canoeing gals ,whom are realli angels sent from heaven by my beloved Daddy God, are ever so caring and sweet. they like.. pull me, drag me, pin me down, carry my bags, trying their best to stop the crazy me from injuring myself.
i duno if i will ever have the same passion for canoeing as i have for badminton. i duno if i will cry for canoeing like i've cried for badminton. but like wad weiwen said... i will definitely cry if im ever gonna lose these canoeing frens

ankle is still swollen.. boo hoo.. think it'll take quite a long time 2 recover. anw, despite my injury i went for canoeing water prac yest. it was great! cox i can paddle a few strokes now. luckily canoeing dun nid ankle. if not i'd be so dead. but it's super tiring swimming back to e pontoon cox onli can use 1 leg and 1 hand to swim. so it took me super long 2 go back. sometimes i just give up and scream for yi chao 2 come help me. and i cant empty my boat e normal way oso!! argh! so i use e "hand only" way and it took super long cox nid 2 empty quite a few times.
oh! and we celebrated jocelyn's birthday yest! i celebrated 4 her twice la! once as a class and another for e canoeing team. kuku her go do the super embarrassing task of distributing bananas to strangers which i bet wif weiwen dat she wun do. now i owe weiwen bubble tea... haix.. however i dun mind paying for bubble tea to have a great luff la. when she give banana so funny can! she was like.. "hi, today is my birthday. i treat u eat banana." HAHAHAHAHA!! and got 1 ah pei bo chap-ed her! so funny!! Lol!! and e canoeing team gave her new urban male slippers and body shop moisturiser. envy her sia.... hahaha! class celebration was awesome too! we ended up having a mango cake war. e cake was like flying everywhere la! one moment it was on e table, next moment 1 piece is on someone's face! so funny!! luckily this time nvr kena me. maybe they see i bai ka cant run so they dun want bully me. hee hee!!
today morning i went for badminton training in sch. sometimes im amazed by my rebelliousness too. haha! e more bai ka i am, e more i dun wanna conform to it. so now u guys noe la hor..use reverse psychology on me. it'll be much more beneficial. hee hee!! but though im superwomen, im not God. so my standard confirm drop a lot one. im kinda worried bout my match on monday. against cjc. initially is can fight 1. but now.. not very sure. dun care! must win!
anw, it has been a wonderfully, lovely, fantastically, amazingly, joyful week in school! Bubu, jia you! u are small, but u are strong!
