In a hardworking mood...

Dunno why... but I thank God for this attitude that I am currently in. I feel like doing my assignments all the time. The mood for enjoyment and procrastination is simply not there at all... I wonder how long this can last. I pray that it will last until my assignments end. Haha.

Janeee... all the best for your observations ok.... May God watch over and guide you as you are being observed. No worries... you will get through it in one piece! :)

Something to look forward to

Yay... will be going to Taiwan from 9 to 16 June and then to Hong Kong from 17 to 19 June. Celebrate Dearie's graduation! This trip will be more of a sightseeing trip than shopping. Anyway, I don't like shopping, so this trip is gonna be lotsa fun!!! YAY!

Crazy week just ended...

Finished a silly presentation and handed up a humongous lesson plan today. Was quite disappointed with how the presentation turned out coz of lack of preparation. Spent a lot of time on my lesson plan for mathematics instead (which was definitely more important). Glad most of the hectic stuff is over... but I still have assignments to hand in every week until mid May, when I will be officially relieved from all assignments. Have 2 lessons plans to complete (both due in mid May), one more presentation on 5th May, and one additional math worksheet creation to hand up on 5th May too. Ok... I see that the coming week is quite hectic too... but will not be as bad as this week.

Somehow... I am starting to feel disillusioned about my service in MM... I wonder whether I am getting stagnant and comfortable. Anyway, recently MM decided to 'revamp' itself by making a record of latecomers on Wednesday's practices. It's a good move, but I wonder what will happen to those who are often late. Will they be told to leave MM? Suspension? I guess it's just the embarrassment and guilt that will prevent latecomers for the time being.

Well... yes, I will not deny that I am often late for Wednesday's practices. Somehow, I prefer to be late, than to be early and end up having to wait. Furthermore, the last few times... I was mugging until quite late, and by the time I got to the sanctuary, it's near to 8pm and I have not had any dinner. That's why I'm late, coz I go down to hawker centre to eat. I do not want to sound defensive here... but God is good, I don't think I will need to mug and work til so late on Wednesdays anymore for the time being. So, I believe I can be on time for practices!!! I mean... on time for pre-MM. Yay!

Thinking again... is pre-MM necessary? Hmmm... Ok the fellowship is good... but sometimes, it just ends up becoming a lamenting time... Yup, it's good to share with brothers and sisters... well... does that make pre-MM become a mini cell? Ok fine... I'm thinking too much. God says we need to submit to authority. Yes, I will submit to authority.

God please humble my heart and soul to serve you wholeheartedly. Let me not dwell and complain about minute matters. Show me a path...

My 2000 word essay is finally complete and ready to go!!!

Yay! Praise the Lord! Finally... the torturous 2000 word essay will be outta my hands by 3:30pm on 7 April. YES! YES! Really... it's like a huge rock off my shoulders... Now I can concentrate on 6 new assignments due in April... doesn't sound any better right? At least these assignments are more relevant to what I will be teaching in the near future... And I will be more willing to do these assignments than the sickening Educational Psychology 1 assignments. Haha... Thank God...

My thumbdrive played an April Fool's joke on me on 1st Apr...

After I typed about 400 words of my Psychology essay assignment, I decided to save the work in my thumbdrive (duh). Then there was a pop up that said saving was not possible because the file type is different. WHAT DIFFERENT!?!?!?! How can my Word document become another file type suddenly? But it's true... my word document got converted into a temp file!!! I thought that the word document was still there... so I deleted the temp file without checking. Well... u guessed it... my hard work was all GONE! OH NO!!! But oh well... I did panic a lot, then I thanked God. Coz if this had happened to me when my essay of 2000 words is done, then I'll really be crying.

While I was on the train... as I had my laptop with me... I tried to reproduce my 400 words... by the time I reached my destination, I reproduced almost half of it... Thank God. But I wasn’t as satisfied with it as the first time... sigh.

When I reached home, I inserted my thumbdrive into the desktop computer to re-confirm that the essay is really gone... then... then I saw the TEMP FILE!!! THANK GOD!!! I could not find it while I was on the train!!! Why did it suddenly appear when I got home!?!?!?! Yay!!! All my hard work is not lost...

Thank God the original essay is found...

Twas’ a bad April Fool’s joke...
