beautiful disaster

Wow, mid-week post. This blog hasn't had a mid-week post for a while.

It's been a sleepy, sultry day so far. The weather used up all its rain yesterday and so this morning the sun was shining like it was the last day on earth. I hate sunny days, especially when there's history for last period, becuase the warmth seeps into the classroom like the sleepy monster, threatening to enchant us into dozing off (which Tasha, next to me, did).

Jac gets a sewing lesson today because she has to sew on her press-studs or risk being dubbed "unloyal to the prefectorial board". i got booked for long fingernails last friday during prefects' meeting. The irony. They weren't even that long!

Booked Gilly today. :( She's not talking to me but Gerry told me not to say sorry because it wasn't my fault. Gilly's not good at the not-talking bit, though. All right, i'm sorry you broke the rules but i'm not sorry i booked you.

Just when i'd cleared my Chinese homework i got another zhuo wen to finish up today. But Chinese was really fun today. Kim and i talked more than wrote, as usual, and the topic for today was the Singapore education system and why learning Chinese is a good enough reason to go overseas.

Ooh, i think it's going to start raining.

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
