work work work...

all the best to everyone having exams now! [and congratulations to the people who've finished A's] God's in charge of your exams. remember that. =)

blogging as a break. hoho.
i've been holed up in my room gosh. and will probably be for the rest of the week =S

so i had an essay due (26/11) and spent that tue to sat working on it...
then came the the lab report and presentation due (3/12)...
so i spent sat to today working on the lab report (hopefully i'll finish soon)...
then i'll do the presentation tonight and tomorow...
then there's the essay due (5/12)..
which i'll start tomorow - hopefully - and finish by 5/12...
then i just got word that the linguistics coursework will be put up on 5/12 due (10/12)...
talk about the feeling that work is never-ending.

then there's the christmas outreach and choir rehearsals scattered throughout that... and the event itself 8/12 [if you're in london and reading this, come support me! lol. there'll be free food!]

but holidays are coming! hurrah=D i just have to get through these two weeks. [and not think about the two exams i'll have on the same day in the 1st week of term 2. lol.]

i've been thinking... since christmas is coming and people are going back to s'pore... of missing home.

missing food (sambal sting-ray =P)... easily remedied
missing people... well just have to settle for msn - anyhow even in sg. you won't see people that often
missing church... pastor's sermons, the whole going to church thing... serving
missing caregroup... friends, insanity, the like.

and i realised. that when i go back to s'pore... the last 3 things i've been missing... would be memories of the past. people would have changed... (busier? hanging out would be different... new news... esp since we're all doing different things now). church... would have grown bigger - arrow ministry has split, revolutionary things have been happening... people would have grown... with various developments of things i wasn't there to see. caregroup... well. almost everyone has moved into uni caregroups and dispersed... and i don't know the j1s...

talk about a reminder to live in the present -

just how familiar is the familiar?
or perhaps it's a figment of my imagination - a false memory of what things are and will be

hmmm. over here we're stuck with the idea of 'going back to all that was'... when really. we're 'going back to all that is'... and it's gonna be different.
