hey sorry for going on a short hiatus. been a bit busy (and lazy) lately. today was quite fun. went for Haven duty in the afternoon and watched the last part, then i went again at night to watch the whole thing. a really well done performance, better than last year's 'The Birds'. my only complaint is that they should have let edmund and yuan hao to have more performing time. they both were really good. had a chem test on friday. to put it nicely, it didn't go too well. kinda dreading the results. oh well, i'll just take each day as it comes. this coming week will be really fun! tuesday is a hlaf day, wednesday is a holiday, and so is thursday! for me at least. party!
again i've realized how an inconsequential thing like a small exchange of words, a 'hi', or even a small wave can change your whole day. take the friday where i was asked to run for prefect's council. i was in really high spirits that day, cos it would be the weekend and the world cup finals were just around the corner. then my prefect mistress came up and said just these few words: ' Nat, i want you to run for prefect council. tell me on monday'. there went my weekend. the whole #$@! week was spent thinking and swinging back and forth on whether to run or not, cos the decision will definitely affect my future. my friends could tell that i wasn't myself, and i really wasn't. it felt like this huge burden had just dropped on my shoulders, but by God's grace, he eased it and took it off me, and i felt much better after praying. but i still felt bogged down that weekend. on the other hand, i woke up this morning, and felt ok. mediocre. then, somewhere through the course of the day, i talked to someone, and that person, for some reason which even i don't know, really just lifted my spirits. i can't explain it, but i just felt different. i felt recharged and energized, like nothing could put me down for the rest of the day. and nothing did. so i thanked God for it and prayed that i'll feel the same way i felt after exchanging those few words with you. my point is, we have to be careful of what we say, cos even the smallest thing can make a difference (ooooo cliche!), be it positive or negative. to you, it was probably just another ordinary conversation, or was it? i dunno, but what i do know is that it was nothing but extraordinary for me. i don't think you know who you are, and i'd like to keep it that way. thank you for making my day!:)
