Happy Mother's Day

Yea, it is mother's day today and I'm extremely happy. Just for laughs: I woke my mother up yesterday at 12.05am and wished her happy mother's day and asked her to wake me up at 8pm today. Then, she nodded her head. Then I went to sleep. I was charging my handphone prior to that and didn't have any alarm next to me, since my handphone is my primary alarm.

Then, the next thing in the morning, I woke up and saw my watch and was I was like, 'GG!!!' Yea...quickly wash up, and ate my breakfast. Then I asked my mother if she could recall what happened yesterday night, which was an obvious no. But I told her she was nodding her head. Then she said she was probably sleep-nodding. Lol?

So I asked her to give me $5 for taxi. =D Then reached seelan's house at 9.40. Yay! Free taxi. How much better can this get? Mother, the one who gave us a chance of living, other than God. The one who despite tremedous difficulty, tolerated the hardship and sacrificed for us, just to ensure we get the best of life.

Thank you ma, for all that you have done for me. I know that it is tough taking care of me, seeing me through the day I was born till where I am today. Without you, I wouldn't even be able to type all these now. Without you, I don't think I will have any proper education or skills to survive. Without you, having all these will be meaningless anyway.

I love you mum. The best way that I can express my gratitude is studying hard and honoring you when I grow up. Thank you for believing in me. I will not disappoint you. Even though you might not see this, but I hope that I will be able to remind myself with this post everytime I fail to live up to your expectations. And I know that I would not be able to, cause I'm not perfect...

Alas, nobody is...But it is in our imperfection that the very essence of life is manifested and we realise that we need someone greater than us, which is none other than God.

Yes I know, it is very formal, haha...

Bequeath-A joy or burden?

It has been a long time since I posted, 10 days to be exact. Been really busy with settling stuffs in school. Monday I have cca counter duty till 7pm. Tuesday I got lesson till 4.30pm. Wednesday I got cca till 7pm. Thursday lessons end at 5.00pm. Friday lessons end at 3.30pm. Usually I will go to the EG room if there is nothing on, and stay there till it closes at 7pm.

May will probably be the busiest month of the year. Firstly, there will be 3 camps during this month. 15-16 house camp, which is compulsory for all Bannister house students. 22-24 West Zone line camp, and I'm helping out in admin as a student leader. 29-31 e-club camp,which is also compulsory but I seriously don't want to go...throngs of cca mates share the same sentiments.

As we are suppose to put up a performance during the 2nd night of the camp, my president put me in-charge of it. Managed to gather 8 people to participate so far, which is fairly enough. Given the inadequate manpower and seemingly unfavorable circumstances, the performance would not be a good one, if not failure.

God I need your wisdom and strength for the upcoming ordeals. I can't do this on my own, I need you...

Fortunately, I'm still doing well for my studies. Got 31/35 for chemistry lecture test and 23/25 for maths lecture test. Thank God for his grace, when I didn't study much, lolx...=X

Everyone is talking about relationship, but I'm still being nonchalant about it. Maybe it is due to my upbringing, that the matters of the heart makes me really uncomfortable to talk about. Teenagers nowadays seem to be extremely competent in discussing about such topic and even a kid as young as primary 2 already knows the things that should be known at a later age.

Maybe I'm being cynical, but what is wrong with society at this present age? RJC's motto 'Auspicium Melioris Aevi', which stands for 'hope of a better age', really sets me thinking.

Saying this though, I don't oppose anyone having relationships. I don't mind being with the girl that I like too. It is not like I will go up to a couple in the streets and shout at them.

That will be totally deviant, lol.I think I will only understand when I'm in a relationship, which is 314215298 years from now, lol.

Thats all for this week. Tune in next week or the week after for more updates =).
