An Email to Ding....

(thought this would be a good summary of the past events anyway...and to show fab that yes...i've finally emailed Ding :D)

Hey Ding.

Heard you've been online quite a bit, perhaps it's just me who always seems to be on at the wrong time. Hope you'll come online to MSN soon, think we'll both have lots of stuff to tell one another. lol...been rather unfaithful with this weekly mail thing. sorry sorry, but the schedule disallows it sometimes. Finally got down to emailing you..don't want to lose touch with such an important friend huh? :D

Work's been piling up, not sure if you still want that post thing. Mrs Carol Low says she's sending you the chem stuff...maybe even Daniel Yew. Still trying to collect hwk for you, stuffing it into a certain locker 12 outside the class, just unsure of what to do with it. Some suggestion there perhaps? Hope you're coping fine with some self-study of your own and that Saturday school lesson thing.

hmm...just wondering...when school starts in Sept for you, what Grade will you be? Grade 11?

Oh that reminds me of that piano exam coming up...craps. Grade 8 exams, haven't been practicing or anything...so i'm like gonna fail or something..oh wait why am i telling you this.

What's worth telling about would probably be what's up at BB :). You'll be filled with joy to know that things are really starting to change around here...and so many great things are happening even as God begins to move within our midsts here. Moving from regimental to spiritual is a mammoth task, but hopefully you'll keep us in prayers and when you're back (hopefully in primers) we can see God work together...it'll be great.

Mr Charles is back, and he's added a new dimension to the spiritual aspect of BB. There's like weekly BS now and prayer meetings in the morning before parade. Looking for opportunities to touch the Sec1s lives. Even in the upcoming hike (yes you forgot there was a hike arh...btw it would be from Harborfront MRT back to school) the irony is we're trying to make it a spiritual experience...what would Jesus do if he were the hike leader? Love? Joy? Grace? how wonderful.

ROD's coming up (hope you still know what that is) but most of the IB ppl will definitely stay behind to help out in the BB. Live Praise will be on ROD...i'm leading...with emil..haha. Emil his usual self...bubbly and sometimes over excited...Mr Jonas Chow helping out a lot now..he's the worship officer. So we're trying to move to a more meaningful Live Praise...something beyond singing...some sort of testimony thing...to reach out to the sec1s...hey who knows? you might wanna send over a testimony of somekind and we'll read it on your behalf :D

Why am i telling all this to you? well...if you were here...you would be so filled with joy and renewed strength...it's just a refreshing experience to watch God work in our lives and in the BB. So i thought...since you can't witness...i'll tell ya all about it! Hopefully it's warmed your heart.

Been praying so hard for you everyday that you'll find your purpose in America. Don't ask 'how' first (How can i serve God here? How can i glorify Him), ask 'why' first (Why am I serving God? Why am I a Christian? Why am I in America) Asking why will lead you to answer all other questions. There's been so much talk about purposes and stuff recently, and i do pray that God will guide you to find your purpose in America. America is filled with soooo many temptations (to slack...to forget God..), just keep shining for God whereever you are...even in the darkness (Oh yes...my new blogskin.. :D)

SOCCER! Tien en, Ted Kin, Elliot, Eliel, Sloke, Justin....all in this new craze of soccer...yes they've all started playing...and they're really not that bad heh. Anyway, hopefully we can pull more over...so one day we'll all be late for class (oh yes..there was once we were super late for Shue's class...perspiring heavily, wet and soggy, and she asked us to stay out...because she scared we get sick...or maybe that was said sarcastically..but nevermind)

Soccer ball was punctured lol....sean was really really sad...so we've started using the Admin Room's ball...which we just coincidentally found lying around. :D We also always win soccer now...because apparently Daniel thinks that you're playing for us :D

Mdm Loo...keep her in your prayers k? Last week, Mdm Loo was hospitalized for an intestine surgery (removal of half the intestines...)...we visiited her at NUH...only to find her in a really weak state...he couldn't talk or move...was pale as a ghost..and from her sms looked like she was even ready to give up living. But by God's grace she's got better and should be back with us as soon as possible. Often we wonder why such crisis have to happen..but God has He's divine purpose. We prayed for Mdm Loo...and hope that she'll be touched by God in one way or another. (on a lighter note...we missed Chinese lessons for a week, even the uber long tuesday Chinese period...so CL ppl got jealous)

New LangArtsB teacher, a replacement for Maria Nathan...hmm Dr Singh...she's all the way from India. Strong Indian accent, cannot pronounce the African names in 'Things Fall Apart'. She's super super on...and some ppl have started to find her abit boring. Aiyah quite nice lah...just a little too serious at times...lacking a sense of Singaporean humor. She's always on time for lessons..even 10 minutes earlier. Scary.

Haha Ding you got 100 marks for Term 3 Core Math!! Because marks were taken from the investigation thingy :D happiness!

Romeo and Juliet in LangArts A. We've been watching various versions of it...including the very famous modernized version with Leonardo inside...and the weird weird Mercutio...and a version with Men in Tights...as most of the class like to call it. So ya..it's been weeks of sonnets and Shakepearean talk. I can't say i'm not enjoying it...but the IOC thingy is coming up and that's causing some concern...Of course Justin doesn't seem to mind at all.

IHS essay under way. Elaine Lee as lenient as before...she just took a glance at my Lit review and gave me full marks...saying that she wishes she could give me more than full marks...sigh.

Ok now for Physics...do read up on transformers (not the toys...) and for Chem...start on Organic Chem..more specifically the Alkanes and Alkenes first. You're smart enough so you'll do fine :D. Better than our class will..esp with half the class still treating Jason Chan like a clown..ok maybe Mr Chan is a clown in some way or another.

on a possibly comforting note to you...i haven't been doing much work as well...slacking a little here and there...playing neopets. (did i mention i quit SK :D) and just slacking typing messages like this to people..you know what i mean? World Cup's over but i'm still stuck to the tele (Singapore idol and stuff...haha...lol i'm wasting time!!!!)

OK Ding...hope to hear from ya soon...plz talk more leh....we're all starting to miss you liao...
