Man... It's been close to a month since I've blogged, even dear ms En aka senior pok aka Ms Toot had to tell me to update because my blog was dying. Well, recently, I've been quite busy with my school work, especially art. Now, I can safely say that my art boards are off my hands!!! I don't have to stress over them anymore!!!!!! YES!!!! (well, i better not have to stress over them anymore!)
I now declare that art is the most time-consuming subject that I have taken so far in my life. I doubt anything can beat that, but we'll see. I spent most of my time doing art, in fact, I was so focused on it (we hand to hand the boards in by today) that I completely forgot that I had Chem and Bio test on Monday! Thankfully, I scrapped past the passing mark for Chem, unfortunately, Bio results were pretty bad. Now I'm not sure I want to take Art if I get to JC. Hmmm... Should I? or should I not?
Anyhoo, now all I have to do is complete the canvas, and paper 1 is finished. Then there's paper 2, but let's not go into that. I'm taking my O level English oral on Friday next week! Please keep me in prayer (when you pronounce it, it's a silent 'Y'. learnt that in English today. haha) Basically pray that I'll be calm, because when I get nervous my voice starts to crack and I sound like I'm about to cry. We don't want that happening do we? No, we don't. Like my English teacher said today, "you have to show the examiners that you have a brain, and that you can actually use that brain to make intelligent conversation." So.... yeah.
Right now I'm also reading "the God catchers". It's a great book, and I'm sloowwlly devouring it. Haa... I think these kind of books shouldn't be read at one go, but absorbed bit by bit. So I'm gonna take awhile, sorry Evan aka Ms Soot, I'll be taking quite awhile. Just so you know though, I'm 5/12 done with it. It's really helped me... because I've been feeling God around me, but not, for lack of better word, in me. So yeah, it's helped me to cope. I realise that I'm not hungry enough for Him and His presence to get closer to Him. I also know I can't make myself hunger for Him just like that. So I'm waiting around. Strangely though, there's this peace in me that I think comes from God. Maybe he's saying that it's alright and He is still around. I know He still helps me out though, He delayed me giving a speech in class for about a couple of weeks when I had no idea what my topic should be. God is good, all the time!
Now, I've got something light-hearted to share with y'all! A poem! Got it from Lit class... so here you go!

Elma MitchelOh! And I saw the mozzie that's been biting my family and I for the past few months. It's gotten to be quite big; Too bad it flew off before I could smack the thing. Oh well, that's all I have for tonight! Toorah!
