I've been hearing voices telling me that
I could never be what I wanna beThey're binding me with liesHaunting me at nightAnd saying there's nothing to believeSomewhere in the quietnessI'm overcome with lonelinessI hear You call my nameLike a father You are nearAnd as I listen I can hear You sayYou are a child of MineBorn of My own designAnd you bear the heart of lifeNo matter where you goOh, you will always knowYou have been made free in ChristYou are a child of MineAnd so I listen as You tell me who I am
And who it is I'm gonna be
And I hang on every word
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free
But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie:
You'll never be enough
And though I'm giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say-You are a child of Mine by Mark Schultz

Covered by Your love divineChild of the Risen LordTo hear You say, "This one's mine."My heart is spoken fordon't you just love this song?haha i love it cos it's so...assuring.like.imagine the creator of the chair you're sitting on, the music you're listening to, the brains that you were given, the food that you eat, the air that you breathe,
everything.yup imagine he says to your enemy, "don't you dare touch her/him, she/he is
MINE."so cool right.with Him on your side, who can be against you?
haha and if you know me, i'm all about feeling secure and assured.i'm a fragile, not so little thing that needs constant assurance and knowledge that everything is okay.

ate mel's "happy v day!" chocolates.feeling loads better.(:
i'm a pig.
who was a soft spot for chocolates.
sweeeeeeeeet chocolates.
:D
oh oh oh i passed my ftt evaluation!wasn't that hard after all.
smiles @ 23:46.
i think i'm abnormal.
i'm not into what a seemingly typical youth shld be.like drinking and clubbing and shopping and drinking coffee and being at home only to sleep.i honestly don't think that even stuff like consuming alcoholic drinks and all are going to be hard for me to abstain from in the future.maybe i'm too naive and i haven't grown up yet.people say you'll grow up in secondary school.my mom said you'll mature in jc.but i've been in and out of both, and i still think i'm the same.maybe i'm just too guai.i seriously think guys get scared when they find out that i'm not into drinking and clubbing and shopping and everything else.i don't even drink coffee!maybe i'm just different.
maybe i'm just abnormal.
sigh.
okay sorry for that emo and
"who am i?" paragraph.today was the most trying day of my working life so far.i went down to jurong point to get stuff photocopied and binded, and i kinda got lost in that place.it's renovated and really huge by the way, shld go check it out.so anyway, the lady told me to come back in an hour, so i wandered around looking for popular, my new best friend.bought a couple of assessment books and then went back.one hour turned out to be one and a half, so i was seriously late for work already.collected the stuff and took a cab.the driver was telling me about how i shld say go to aye and turn off clementi road and not south bouna vista road, cos that will mean travelling one big round to get to pasir panjang road.then he went on to say how singapore is such a
fine country, and that singaporeans will not be scared until they get fined and feel the pinch.typical cynical cab driver i guess.
anyway, the day was still redeemable.there was no tuition to plan for, cos all the nus students were on exam study break.it actually got better, until at night, where generous me decided to do group tuition for the p6 kids.i thought that they would be angels today like yesterday, but ohhh no.long story short, it was a failure.i think i've been bullied by kids already.
how do you be firm with people?i don't think i can.i think i'm like a yes woman.i can't go like, no i'm not submitting to your demands.usually i ignore, but i think it makes situations worse.cos if you don't correct, the kid will think it's okay, or worse, know that you can't be firm and scold.
i don't think i take failures very well.i think it's a problem.
:(

on saturday morning my mom asked me if i was going out today, and i said no.
my dad laughed and went, "you have no life!"
sigh.and i thought i was being a good girl.
anyway, i baked on saturday afternoon.cos i have no life and i was
really bored.so i made chocolate shortbread with cut out shapes and icing.yes, and i'm satisfied with my products.no burnt batches this time!
on sunday there was soldiership class and after that, david yurong guanyou and i jammed in the audi and made alot of noise.haha.but it was really fun and really cool though.to like just play and sing and do whatever you want.after awhile we all kinda gave up playing, so guanyou played and we just sang.haha and then we tried to harmonise and decorate the song, until we couldn't remember what the melody was anymore.after that we went to graceheaven and sat in for their worship session.it was really enjoyable.so was the food after that.ha.
went for theory practice before work today.sigh.i keep failing the practice papers.and evaluation's on wed.
please please please let me pass.the person behind me kept killing his screen.
poke poke poke.so distracting.i realise i actually can't wait to get behind the wheel.haha.although i much rather have someone to drive me around.i want to pass on my first time!

He's able, He's ableI know He's ableI know my Lord is able to carry me throughHe heals the broken-heartedAnd sets the captives freeHe makes the lame to walk againAnd cause the blind to seei think i've learnt alot this year.although it's only been two months.i've learnt that not everyone has a beautiful life like i do, that despite everything, singapore is a hugely meritocratic country.which kinda throws equality out of the window.haha remainds me of gp lesson with lisa li.yup, i've come to realise that life is not fair, you kinda take what you get, and make the most out of it.i've also realised that there are kids ten years younger than me who have to wash their clothes, wash their shoes, wash the toilet...all on their own, whereas i'm fortunate (and pampered) enough to not make my own bed.that kids my age are facing a life with bleak futures, but still facing it with a smile.kids that have to study and balance their finances and take care of themselves, while i only need to worry if my results can get me into nus.
i've also learnt that life is really fragile.that old people are not the only ones to leave this earth.people across all ages die all over the world.and all for different reasons.you may read it in some newspaper of magazine, and go like, yeah okay.but you'll never imagine someone you actually knew going that way.it's the fourth night, but i really, honestly, believe, with all of my heart, that he'll awake.maybe that's why i havent broken down, or seriously cried yet.maybe i'm heartless, but in my hearts of hearts, i really do believe everything is going to work out.
yes, because He is able.

hi.mentally and physically tired.haha.yes, i love my job.but when you reach home and sink into bed then you realise how tired you are.although i don't know why it is so draining either.
went shopping at popular today.spent like an hour in there flipping through assessment books.then spent like 10mins going in circles trying to find "nice-nice" stickers.the total was two hundred over bucks for like 25 books and 3 sheets of stickers!haha.lugged them all like an auntie and took a bus to work.it's round two on friday, because the new stock of books will be in then.how did i know?cos the auntie me went to ask.actually, i was looking for normal tech syllabus stuff.it's amazing how much stuff there is for express students, and normal academic students even.but the poor normal tech kids have hardly any assessment and enrichment books for them.which doesn't make sense, i mean it's because they are weak that's why we need assessment to help them right?but yes, i know economics, and because people think that normal tech kids probably won't bother to buy, so there won't be a demand, but the express and special stream kids are probably kiasu and so will buying every single thing on the shelf.so anyway, this kind staff pointed me to the bottom shelf, which was like only 3/4-full.she explained only EPB publishing bothers to publish books for the normal tech kids.and even then, only english and maths assessment are published.
it's really sad actually.the kids in the home that are in sec school are mostly in the normal tech stream, those in primary sch are either doing foundation subjects, or are
waaay behind in their level.you want to help them, but helping each of them takes up time and focused attention.like one-on-one tuition everyday.and this is a luxury we don't have.everyday i'm given about one-half to two hours to go around all four sections during their study time.that's like 30 kids demanding attention.but you can't spend too long on one person, because there's simply no time.so i can't help them individaully, and assessment books and other help cannot be found for them, how are they ever going to break out of this cycle?i was talking with aunty soohong over dinner, and she said that for these kids, going to ITE is something to celebrate about, much less poly or jc.most of them end up having to find a job after their N levels, and out of the home they go, she says.because by then they'll be above 18.how are these kids ever going to find a stable job, stable income,
have a future?
this is so depressing.
i think i need to be fiercer.

hello!
i'm too lazy to blog, but i have been hearing this song repeatedly over the past few weeks, so i just feel like i need to post its lyrics up.i don't know what it means yet, but it'll come to me.meanwhile, maybe there is someone out there who might happen to stumble upon my blog and find hope or a reminder from the lyrics.so yup, this is for you.
err.would anyone happen to know who was the original artiste of this song?haha there's too many versions and too many different pple who have done this song.Over the mountains and the seasYour river runs with love for meAnd I will open up my heart and letThe Healer set me freeI'm happy to be in the truthAnd I will daily lift my handsFor I will always sing Of when Your love came downI could sing of Your love foreverI could sing of Your love foreverI could sing of Your love foreverI could sing of Your love foreverOh I feel like dancingIt's foolishness I knowBut when the world has seen the lightThey will dance with joy Like we're dancing now
- I could sing of Your love forever by Delirious?
