I've promised myself, that one night, I will work through the night at Raffles City Starbucks (the one just on top of the MRT station). Its 24 hours, and has plenty of sofa seats. yep. doing work anywhere else, home included, is kinda stressful.

I mean, for now home is the best place to do my work. But sometimes I wish I can make a cozzee corner out of the vacant corner of my room. Lay out a carpet, seat cushions, a short wooden table. perfect. Right now, I have this newly bought wooden work table, with a matching chair from IKEA. They were bought by my parents, who are more than eager to provide me with a study table to spend endless nights in front of. I love it too, coz it has a neat and clean feel to it. but it is wonderfully dull and boring, and I'm forced to concentrate on whats on the table, nothing else except the wall that blends perfectly well with the pale coloured table and the light.

Yays! Thank God I've completed my history assignment! :) I think I didn't make a lot of sense but I'm thankful that I've persevered. The assignment is only worth 10% of the final grade, but I felt like I was working for a 50%. Makes me wonder what do I need to do for the other 90% huh.

God loves me

When I'm totally clueless about how to start on the history assignment, God still loves me.

When I'm struggling to research on that history assignment, God still loves me.

When I can't really understand what I am reading, God still loves me.

:) I'm so happy!

I've just submitted my first ever graded assignment this afternoon. It was a big struggle to complete it. But its good training though. I had make a sudden change to my news angle, and the difficult part was because there weren't any specific issue to write about. We were supposed to go find our own story.

Last night I even went to meet up with Esther and LiQun for dinner, my 2 JC classmates. I havent met up with Esther since we left school, which makes it like almost 3 years? I've missed all the gatherings during the 3 silent years. hahaa.. So when she initiated a meet up last Monday, I readily agreed to it, not knowing about the bomb that would come the day after. So I couldn't miss our dinner appointment yesterday, and we had a good time nonetheless.

I reached home at 930pm, terribly worried and growing flustered and freaking out coz I was yet to start on my assignment. Coz I hadn't written a draft first, anything could go wrong. So wrote with trembling hands, afraid of the potential threats that could very well throw me off my track. like a ticking time bomb u know... What if I suddenly found out that my story has no issue? What if its inappropriate? What if the sources are irrelevant? What if I couldn't finish writing a good story in time for submission before my brain starts to shut down?

Thankfully I steadied myself and slowly punched in words to form paragraphs, erased entire paragraphs, shifted their positions... Thank God I managed to finish writing it :)

Thank God for He gave me creativity. Our God is a creative God too :) He created everything unique, and according to their kinds.

Hmm, i'm just thinking... Since I found it so hard to complete a supposedly easy assignment, I think its frightening to think about how I'm gonna get through the harder assignments to come. But hey, trust in the LORD, for He is good :) yep

I'm gonna update this place now, something which in getting increasingly uncommon. But coz I urgently need to pour out some of my grief.

My favourite gal tennis player just went down in the 2nd Rd of the US Open. Its so painful to see her surrender the match so meekly to a player 9 years younger. The scoreline couldn't save any face or salvage any credits for her. Its so sad, even the commentators said so. Its such a sad phase to watch, when you know the time cycle of an athlete. Its like watching someone who's accomplished so much in her life struggle in her dying days.

I think the organisers were so nice when they scheduled her to be on centre court (Arthur Ashe), coz she's among the lower rung of seeds. Only something special about a player would convince organisers to place her on the largest stadium.

Sighz, saddenz siaz.

Ok, I'll write out a full article on that when I have the time ok.

Right now, I have to scramble to complete this bomb of an assignment, due in 6 days. I have yet to source out people for interviews. We're supposed to get prominent people for interviews, like principals, chariman.....

Cheers!
