It's almost a month since the last time I posted. There were simply too many things, too little time. School work (tons of students' compositions waiting for me to mark, SYF choir, exams round the corner...so I would be expecting another pile of compositions to mark), studies (My exam paper is on 18 May and I have two assignments due this week - Sadly, I am still reading! I realised I only get down to reading the text and resources when I have to do assignments. Sigh...If only, I'd have the time to read those texts) Family - I haven't been able to spend quality time with Nicole and Dearie because of my studies. Perhaps on Labour Day, I will plan for another trip to the zoo or Sentosa or somewhere else.
What greatly impacted me was Rev Benny Hinn's Special Weekend services...I was greatly moved and touched by the power of God. It was so awesome to fall under the power of God. I didn't managed to attend Friday's service as I have to attend Humanities lesson. I went for Saturday's service instead. As expected, upon arriving at the SIS, I saw long snake queues already forming outside the stadium. Irene, my Taiwanese friend of 7 years, nicole, dearie and I joined the q. Just then, dark clouds were already forming above the sky, droplets of rain came down and before we could do anything, what was a drizzle became a downpour. I was thinking in my heart, "God, are you testing us?" I saw people starting to leave because they did not bring their brolly along with them and most of them were soaking like new born chicks. :p I was determined and told Irene that we should just stay on in the q to get in. I also realised that I just wanted to attend this service so badly because two years ago, when Rev Benny Hinn came down, I was heavily pregnant with Nicole. ( my mother forbid me to travel)
Next, I wanna give 3 cheers to Choir. They have attained a silver award for this year's SYF central judging competition. I was calm before and after the results were announced. I guess being a musician myself, I have already expected it when I heard them present their rendition of the 3 songs on stage. It's a pity that their nervousness got the better of them. The adjudicators merely wanted the youths to enjoy themselves. I remembered the times when I was a piano accompanist for St. Marg's choir. (I was helping my friend Hoon - the conductor of st marg's choir then) Missed those times we had together though - the thrice weekly practices, the trips to NY Girls' high school (venue of SYF back then). Haha! I also missed the money I earned as an accompanist - real good money!~
I'll be back for more updates (hopefully after the exam) ghee...I am counting down the days I could breathe the air of freedom - HDB balloting results are out in May.
