'ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you'. (Matthew 7:7)
i can't help but agree with the verse from the bible. it just popped into my head. God promise us and he will keep his promise if it is according to his will. he is a faithful god. he has been answering my prayers. thank you god. he is such a loving god who works in ways we can't see. he works miracles. come ppl come to know our great god.

i feel so so exhausted still. i dunnoe abt wat. dreading the upcoming assignments. argh!!! dunnoe where to start from. i feel like holiday, feel like slacking my day n night away, doing nothing. ok not nothing, else i'll be bored to death too. i miss having heart-to-heart talks with my frendz. well, all these nonsensical thoughts will be in my mind when i m having assignments due. but had a gd rest for the whole of sat. as i had told jess, i m so disciplined when i comes to resting, really did not start on anything. if only this can apply to my studies. had a gd dinner at aaron's place yest, had marinara pasta, complete with dessert. i muz say he really cooks well, everything frm scratch. haiz, guys in ocf can cook so much better den gals. alwayz having this conversation abt guys cooking better den gals, wat to do?? will learn from the guys one day when i am inspired. anyway the nite ended with drinks at koko black with grace.
feel like slacking.........tt's wat i had been doing, or rather have been doing. cannot, discipline discipline!!!

2 weeks of placement is over in a flash. still rem the time when i was so worried abt it n all. it was really gd, i had enjoyed myself a lot with the children. of coz i learnt a great deal too. haven got my results frm my supervising teachers yet, but i think it is the company of chn which is important. anyway robert brown is my uni supervisor. jennah and i were worrying that it would be robert roe, luckily it is robert brown. heh, nice guy. the children were really funny. they kept asking if it was my last day. i had to repeat myself so many times. i had some trouble settling some chn, and this gal helped me by saying it would be my last day, so let's be gd. so sweet of her, haha...yup the sweetest thing is tt during their free developmental play period, the girls made cards for me. they were bascially the same, as in they got everyone in the class to sign the card they made. so i had more than 10 cards with the signatures of all the chn. yah some of them made individual ones. even the more playful boys were saying things like they would miss me, can't believe they would say tt. oh well, this kids are really great n missing them already. this little guy kept asking if i had seen jackie chan. constantly, non-stop, every lesson he would ask the same qn. but i alwayz din ans him, keeping him in suspense. actually shld had told him todae. haha...he prob thinks every asian has seen jackie chan. went over to grace place after placement and had dinner with aaron before going for ocf.
updates for the week:
weekdays: placement, tired everyday
tue: watched hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy with grace, toh sin, aaron n his frend
the movie has no storyline, it is juz funny funny without any sense. too artistic for me, muahaha...the funny thing was tt grace n toh sin were supposed to be watching kingdom of heaven, but it was sold out, so they had to watch this movie with us. haha, sorry guys, it's juz too bad.
ok i will put everything aside for the weekend, ok at least rest for sat, and finish up my evaluations for the last day and get started with assignements.

today's the earliest day i got back, reached home at 4.30. for the past 2 days, had been staying back for staff meetings till 5.45 and 5+ respectively. i was just sitting there like an idiot half falling asleep and dunnoe what are they talking about. wanted to run out so badly. today was great. everyday had been gd except the first day as i hv totally no idea what was going on. the kids are wonderful except a handful as usual. easy group of children, unlike my other placements where ther kids are so noisy. jenny and chris are nice and helping me out. the only thing is that they din really give feedback like my last placement. hmm...oh well, hopefully things are going on smoothly. off to complete hpe essay and start on my lesson plans for tml.
countdown: 3 down, 7 to go
