Things are firming up!

Finally I'm starting to have a rough idea of my schedule nowadays... Hmmm tuition will take up 4 evenings/nights from Monday to Thursday... Then driving lessons will onli start on the 21st cos my instructor not free in the morning currently due to ppl taking their practical tests these few days... So now I can still wake up late everyday, hahaz... Plan to do some self-study oso (pls pray tat I have discipline for this) after driving and b4 tuition... Seriously need to learn SOMETHING about Econs b4 I start sch, and it would be cool to read up on some Math along the way too... This will prob be at my own pace, and I hope tat it wont be too slow, lolx... Other than tat, I will be quite free I suppose =)

Anyway yesterday I had a pleasant surprise... Got a call from someone asking if I was giving tuition... Turns out that it was my student's fren... The feeling of being recommended is reli cool, hahaz... I reli thank God for this opportunity to increase my salary by another $200 every month =) Things are reli looking gd for me as a tutor!

The conference yesterday was oso very gd... When I stepped in I could hear the worship team practising for the worship and I listened... Muz say tat their worship is quite gd... 5 piece band with no E. Gig (Pianist, Keyboardist, Bassist, Guitarist and Drummer) Smooth transitions between songs and they managed to build up the whole worship very beautifully... The sermon was oso very gd... It was preached by this Korean pastor and translated into Mandarin by another pastor... The main point was tat we should be diamonds and not stones... Stones are seen to be worthless and useless but diamonds are highly regarded and priceless... From what I gather, there are a few steps to lead purposeful lives... Firstly, our talents/gifts muz be discovered... Secondly, we muz be given opportunities to use our talents/gifts, and lastly, we muz let God mould us and shape us as we grow and oso use those talents/gifts that He has given us to serve Him... Simple steps but sometimes we somehow juz didnt manage to follow... Thought that it was a gd reminder for me in this new yr to continue to press on in my ministries and even in my tutoring =)

This morning I managed to arrange my table and clear it of all the unnecessary junk... (finally!) Now my table looks neater too, hahaz... Found out that I've been hoarding lots of crap and rubbish and its gd to see them go into the bin... Took me more than an hr to remove everything from the table, wipe off the dust and rearrange the stuff back on the table... Its sortof cool when u noe where's everything cos u placed it there... I dunno how long this can last b4 I conveniently start dumping stuff on my table again, lolx... I have NTU stuff in one corner, Audrey's "A first course in Abstract Algebra With Applications" along with some of her notes beneath it right beside me and Simon's AIA calendar with all the 2008 Public an School Holidays facing me... (so that I noe when's the exam period) Some other cool stuff include Weiting's and Ben's Christmas present (It's cool reading the words on the CD until I go dizzy, lolx), A plaque that I got in 2004 when we had an "Agape Badminton Match" at the Sports Hall and many books that I bought but havent got the chance to read =( My '08 Diary is oso on the table within reach so tat I hav easy access to it... Think I will get to use it quite often this yr as compared to last yr... I definitely have many more activities and events to look forward to this year! =)
