Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12: 2

a day of many happenings!

reached sch at 1030am to discuss abt a presentation we're suppose to give nt wk. the team ldr didn't know wat to do. so we were like sitting there smiling aimelssly at one another. then i say, y not we split the work load. one will take the social causes, another economic, political, religious and cultural perspectives. we'll do our research then email to him to consolidate. ok... settled, let's go eat breakfast... haha

then went to singapore studies tutorial. dennis was late. so i was telling myself.. ok, gotta overcome my 'girl shyness'. espy this bunch of gals, been hearing news abt how they view newcomers...
i went to dennis' friends, and said: "hi, u guys r dennis' friends right? can i sit over here?'
very flat reply: "har, u sit here, then dennis sit where?' then they turned back to carried on chatting...
there were obviously two seats left...
i was like thinking... gosh... never expected such response.
dun know y, i felt kinda irritated at tt moment. i got tis feeling tt tis bunch of gals tend to judge others too quickly as well as being cynical... well, as i told dennis later on, the friendship chemistry was obviously missing. but well, since i've walked over there that time, so i still sit down.... at least till dennis arrived.
the remaining 10mins was super awkward. dennis was still late...
the gals were chatting among themselves. i was trying to pretend i'm msging someone. fine, i was msging jon tay abt our shepherding venue, which i've already confirmed with him yesterday.

then came the time to split us into smaller grps. ok, i chose another group. dennis persuaded me to join his grp with e gals, but i was like.. it's ok, i feel much more comfortable with my current one.

sometimes i prefer entering into a situation where every body dun know every body. everything starts at zero. when certain social circles haf already been formed, it's usually a case where u r vewied more like an invader. as least tt's how i find abt e social formations in the secular world.

after my chinese studies lecture i grabbed two of my new lecturemates to central library and viewed a chinese literary video: hong fen for our upcoming assignment. managed to loan out the only copy of the original book too.
studied in library till 10pm, when the library closes. dragging my tired body to the bus- stop, when i took 151, 132, 76 back home.

home sweet home! ok, at least till now i'm rather in line with my revisions tis week. been planning to devote the next 3 days more into my minstry areas.

ending off here, my body's really aching....
