Had my first pc (physical conditioning) lesson of the year. and well, we ran 6 rounds in total,2 warm up, 4 rounds. sit ups, pushups and some squats. haha. im gonna ache tomorrow and there's dance and ballet!
hmmf. really hate running. i can do anything but run. so anywae, 4 rounds is really very little, but after 2 months of vegetating and not doing any jjc pe, every stride was a pain, every wheeze was heavy and noisy.
and then i remembered all those times last yr we ran also. its really not that long ago.. and i remember, everytime i run, i think 'they tt wait upon the Lord shall rise up with wings as eagles, they shall walk and not faint, they shall
run and not be weary' adapted from is 40:31. also, 'i have run the race, i have finished the faith' argh. sth like tt la. then i keep running and running, wah its super hard man!
so well, we can imagine that the race for God is never gonna be easy. haish. but we gotta find joy in it to do it w exceeding joy.
hah! dont even know why im blabbering all these. just finished my human geog functional urban zones tutorial. feeling a lil accomplished. maybe i can sleep. got a long long day tomorrow.
one more funny thing. i used to, w my pw group, swee mich , leave nick out for now, 'curse' ms tiong. all because she was our poor pw tr. we didnt not like her. we were just pissed cos she was the tr, and she kept asking us for our written report and re doing this and tt. to take this out and later say put it back (man talk abt it and it makes me kinda feel uncomfy) pw really affected all j1's who went thru it last yr. its just this horrid worm in our systems which squirms at the mention of -pw.ok talk abt what she made us do, well, i guess we were pissed at her for being her after all. but then again, she was inexperienced, new to the whole thing and trying her hand at sth.
and then one saturdae during op rehearsal, when groups were putting their cd roms into her laptop, she took out this 'heart of worship' cd from her laptop cd compartment. argh whatever u call it. and at that, i realised ahh..shes a christian. and well, somehow, i just kinda softened to her. i felt a lil bad going 'screw ms tiong' and 'wah lao why she so [insert]' from then on. i dunno why. ok just think hkm. we dont care what he is, so hes just this short man there for us to ridicule all the wae. but somehow in ms tiong's case, after knowing she might just possibly be a christian, i started thinking in another perspective.
in the wae where u imagine she goes to church every sundae, and well, obviously shes like this super nice lady in church and well, she tells her church frens shes a tr..an econs tr, and mebe she tells them shes feeling very bad abt the whole pw business of the class shes taking cos they dont hand in anything on time and drag everything and there's this particular pw group doing cosmetic surgery who slack non stop and are being v difficult. and then her frens will sae they'll pray for her.
AND..what do ya know, at her back, every fridae, and at any mention of pw, we go 'screw her la!'[this's e worse i'll go other than wah lao'] and a lot of other horrible things that if she were to know, would be super hurtful.
from my perspective, its like me imagining someone like urm urm (who's a tr in church ah??) ok..urm aunty kin leng, a poly lecturer, or uncle christopher another lecturer, and their students go like..'s*** her/him' and worse stuff. its like so poor thing.
ok and then this yr, she's our econs tr. and econs being the lousy subject, u can imagine la. it'll be another yr of 04a3 cursing her. haish. no la. we havent been doing tt tho.but we'll soon be[i think n i hope not]. for me personally, im at the 'aiya dont care her la, ' stage. what to do. its not her la. its her subject!
shes our lecture lady also. she casually said 'you know techman sells v expensive books rite?' and just todae, we were saeing no to all her questions n being sian and she shared about her sundae school kids at church.'u know i take a sundae school class and i always ask the kids this n that and they always go no!! like you aLL'
ok la. so she's confirmed christian la. from what i deduced and observed. so yea, in a wae when i see her i kinda feel bad for her if students sae nasty things. [us being students,haha]
and, well, i think personally shes actualli very nice. as i said before, just poor her she has to take econs. and well, she mae be a lil boring, but shes new so we can kinda excuse her. but of course all we ever do is complain and we dont care abt e tr.
that dae she asked tim why he missed her lesson and he said he was in the toilet (even though she saw him walking around outside when she was in our class) and well, she still believed him and allowed him off. and was really nice about it. even tim was like..'whoa! shes understanding ah!'
maybe she was just trying to be merciful and not blow up as and when, and give chances and all. to be a good testimony and please the Lord. i think she's quite holy one la. tt kind one.
haha. michelle may be quite shocked reading this :P but well, we know shes nice la. i dont think im wrong :P
