learning

again i'm reminded of sth I read in Love Walked Among Us. Jesus didn't turn down pple who went to Him, even when He was tied up / tired.

when I say I'm a Christian, it essentially means I'm a follower of Christ.

and that entails following His example of not turning people away when they need me. be it in the form of praying, words, or mere presence. even when exams are 2 days away, and studying's not anywhere near being completed.

i think tonight i managed to not turn pple away. sort of. one was a recurring problem, and the other was a surprise, a need that reflected good things.
trusting God to provide, since it is in the Word that 先求他的国和他的义，凡事都要加给你们了。

i'm really glad i took double major. else i'll be dying with finance now.

the level of efficiency drops drastically when i study for finance. i think there're two reasons:

1. i'm not that interested
2. i'm not good at it

and i think point 2 is a result of point 1.

but i've still got to do it. can't possibly drop the major now after i've taken 3 mods for it. and it's good knowledge to have. just that it's not much fun to study...

the only perks of my day - watching a rerun of shi jie zheng mei li during lunch, and a strawberry ripple ice cream cone :)

忍!

my niece

is sleeping in my room now. n i'm typing in the dark. -.-

n we just had a super sumptuous dinner at home to celebrate for her cos she's got good results this year. she 'ordered' chilli crab, herbal chicken, n celery+pork for my mum to cook for her. this sounds a lil funny but i think she's v lucky to have my mother as her ah ma. because of this dinner i couldn't go for steamboat @ xian's w the clique. sighs. nehmind there'll be a next time!

now it's only a week left to exams. but yet i've still got 2 projs due. :( need to start mugging hard if for the exams.

2 of my piano students will be going for grade 2 and 3 piano exams the week after next. one is prepared, one is not. for the one who's not prepared, i've done everything i can to help her, but she just refuses to practice, so there's nth much i can do.. at least the mum understands (she said her daughter has the same attitude even with sch work) how sad! the admin lady at the sch kept telling me that i needed to learn to let go. to just let her be (in other words, let her fail) since there's nth i can do alrd...

so sad!

what a disjointed post. shall join my niece in bed shortly. i think she's asleep alr. her breathing's getting louder...
