its not what you can do, its what He can do
hi friends...
today as i was preparing for my lesson..suddenly got a flashback to my ns days where i was serving as a support staff in my camp....although my ns days memories were less than perfect..peppered with lots of bitter memories...being cursed and sweared at endlessly through the day...i did made a few friendships which i really appreciate lots....those days were endless sweating, toiling, moving stores, clearing rooms, setting up of equipment, endless guard duties...and not to mention the cruel people in my camp..haha...sound pretty obvious that i didn't really like my life then ya?...life as in life in camp...haha...but i feel for every person, the personal experience and what they bring away from ns is different..no 2 people can bring away with them same memories and lessons learnt..even if they're from the same camp..platoon or what so ever...
but what i never realised back then was God is preparing me for a job of teaching and educating ppl...the things i learnt in camp..such as video shooting, editing, multimedia...IT support..all came into use in my current job!..thats y no matter what you're going through now, its for a REASON...whether if its good or bad...you like it or not...even as i am serving in choir now, i know and believe that He is preparing me for something bigger, something that can impact more lives directly...of course i have no clue what it is..but i will keep on serving FAITH-FULLY or in other words, full of faith...haha
in 2 weeks time, it will be my 1st year of work ever since i left ns..haha..time passes SO SO SO fast man...didn't really notice it until i saw the date.."eh...end of august liaoz?"..hahah...gotta keep on doing what i need to do each day man...cannot waste time!
this week has been busy for me in the afternoons...have been spending time teaching my students how to do their video editing...for their projects u see..yup...so its like non stop madness from 2-5pm..hahah..but then again, i like my job..because i like to interact with ppl...talk to them and get to know them more..personally..rather than a teacher-student relationship...no no don't get me wrong..wanna get to know them more so i know how to meet their needs better in future...
technically speaking, the 1E1 students (top class) are the hardest to talk to..because they are REALLY smart..came in with psle scores of 240...wow wow...and because of that, some of them were really stuck up at the start of the year but right now, their attitude has changed greatly!..Praise the Lord!...was speaking to one of my students, cassandra...v nice girl with a larger than world attitude...i mean to her "all things can be done" attitude..haha...hardworking too..and not to mention, she has the brains and the looks..haha..can imagine her 15 years down the road..a successful business-woman kinda look..hahaha...ok..she wanted to go cedar girls...but missed out by a few pts (cruel edu system) ya?..i mean less than 5 pts difference?..haha..so i asked her why did you choose this sch?..together with another boy named jack...and she told me that she couldn't get into her 1st 3 choices...ya..so thats y...
well, i really enjoy teaching...every class has their own challenges..some gotta keep pushing them like bulls climbing a mountain..but some r really independant..in fact, i like it when i can teach them...hahaha...1E1 is such a class...smart peeps man i tell you..at their age, behaving like a mature teenager already...its a honour to teach them..:)
i treasure every class that i teach because i know if i can micro manage and touch each of their lives...imagine the impact??..wow wow...that brings me back to the pt that God is truly real and He is good!...sometimes we rely on our head knowledge even when we pray..we recite verses that we remember..not lead by the spirit but juz recalling..then whats the difference between us and ppl of other religions?..don't we chant the way they do too?...i have learnt that a simple prayer lead by the Holy Spirit and one that is truly heartfelt is one that will touch God and bring down His presence!
no pt praying for 1 hour but all you do is to recite verses from the bible...i tried that many times but couldn't feel His presence at all..but there r times i prayed for 1/2 of that time and i could feel His presence immediately..God is waiting for you to do the same too...
my sister sarah is feeling better now and tks for ur prayers..went back to sch yest after a 2 week hiatus..haha...long break man...but i will continue to keep her in prayer too!...well, last night i managed to meet dear when she came back from work...she is really working hard!..haha..well, can't describe the feeling whenever i meet her...magical is the word i can use to describe!...its like being joined back to the rib you lost!...haha..
i miss you honey dar...muacks**
well, personally i am having 2 exams, one this fri and another next fri..do keep me in ur prayers ya?..been revising the past nites...and ya..managed to finish one for the exam this fri..PTL!...pray for wisdom and annoiting to be upon me as i go for the exam..one more sem and I AM DONE!..haha...
well, thats all for now...listening to the CROSS ALBUM now..awesome stuff..i like disc 2..how about you?..haha!
