OKAY technically, i can't go for RS on tuesday cos the stupid speech day rehearsal ends at 3, which is the time RS ends. WOW. sigh. i think speech day rehearsals waste a lot of time. i mean, from 10am to 3pm isn't very short.
anyway. i feel REALLY REALLY stupid. i didn't bring home the books for my chinese PT again. and we're meeting tomorrow. great. now we have to do it by memory. sighhh. i'm so dumb! and careless and forgetful and muddleheaded and everything else. =P
i can't wait for tuesdayy!! i hope we have enough ties... i realised dad only has one really RED tie. the other two solid reddish things are rust/maroon coloured. then there's those reddish things which patterns. there's one with like black stripey things. which is cool! so i have about 4 "red" ties. =D
i have nothing much to blog about.. met up with my friend on yesterday after school. had lunch at macs at bugis. after 5 and a half years. amazing. i'm jealous everyone's so tall! but then again he was always tall. since 5 and a half years ago. he was on the top row in the class photo! XD
okay random. today MS was interesting. they'd been doing this for the past two weeks but i didn't go the past two weeks cos i had tuition. anyway. it was interesting. but i didn't feel the impact during healing.. i only felt something during the message about how what we think controls our lives. Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) says, for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
4 functions of the mind:
1. memorizes
2. imagines
3. recalls and replays
4. forgets
Pastor Rony mentioned that sometimes we embelish a thought - we imagine, we tweak it such that we convince ourselves into believing an imagination, by obssessing over it. while people think about bad things, when people expect the worst to come, we become what we think of. in a way, we prophesize our future in our heads. Some people mix memories from reality with their imaginations, and are blinded as to what is the truth - what really did happen, and what did not.
tell you the truth, i do that. i think of things, i remember them. then i forget which one really happened. it's a bit screwed, but i can't really do much about it. thank God the things in my life aren't really that important yet. i still have time to change things..
and Pastor highlighted forget. our mind has the ability to forget things, so we should forget what we ought to and remember what we ought to. take for example a heartache. the pain, the agony, the torture and suffering that one goes through in a heartbreaking moment. some people would say they can never forget it. but actually you can. you may never forget the person and what the person did, what you did, etc, but you forget the pain. it's something.. we ought to forget. because it only pulls us down.
so in conclusion, let's all forget the bad things, remember the good things. look FORWARD to the future, expect a victory, and with God's joy as our strength, we will ultimately live a happy, rich and fulfilling life.
=D i think i like MS a lot.
