Years of my Youth.
A walk with God (:Archive for January, 2009
Epiphany
=D Finally, a more tangible (scholarly) career goal to fight for!
Thanks to the Senior Admin and teachers for giving that pragmatic and timely mass PC lecture to address serious academic matters. Need it and appreciate it!
There’s a scholarship i feel called to achieve (if it’s truly God’s will, it will come to pass. i’ll do my outmost best on my part to attain it). i shall not reveal the name of it nor the organization that offers it as of now, because i’m not 100% sure yet. Basically it requires me to:
1) Obtain excellent academic grades (you know what to do, just do it!)
2) Excellent SATs score (ok set, i’m taking it in May)
3) Excellent NAPFA score (pure Gold again? Why not?! God is the same yesterday, today and forever.)
4) Good CCA records (do CASL & NYAA logging seriously)
5) Strong leadership qualities (thanks to BB & class & school)
6) Excel somewhere
7) Possess a strong interest in something
Come to think of it, everything just links! Coming to AC, taking IB, the one-of-a-kind subject combi (woohoo, my Y6 teachers are cool. And did i mention? Mr. Chirnside R.O.C.K.S BIG TIME!!!), joining BB, signing up for NYAA and now with the future before me…
God has been faithful and good to me, to say the very least. So i will continue to trust in Him wholeheartedly, knowing that He will direct my path according to His Will and for the glory of His Name. i know it will be from faith to faith and glory to glory. (=

The FireAC meeting we had just now was heartwarming and interesting. An uplifting time of encouragement and affirmation among other things. (:

i’m looking forward to Primers’ Outing @ East Coast this coming Saturday, (special) dinner & church =). It will be profoundly delightful, i know. A good little respite after an (somewhat) unearthly week. <3
2009 IB Result release!
Wow, glory to glory indeed!
Average point is raised to 40.1 already!
Which means about 69% of the class of 2008 cohort obtained scores qualified for top Universities in the World!!
It was such an unnerving experience to watch seniors i know and care about being kept in suspense… felt like puking (literally) perpetually for a prolonged period of time. A common reaction shared with Nicole! Haha. The funny thing is that when it’s my turn to receive result, i usually feel perfectly assured and strangely calm.
The happenings on stage were worthy to note, for they evoked a mixture of pleasant emotions.
… i was so moved by the golden couple, they created such a beautiful sight!! (: <3
CONGRATULATIONS for all seniors for being tough survivors, and for having fought a good fight! =D
To God be the Glory!
The Best is Yet to Be!
Will be away for quite some time probably, because a whirlwind called EETOKIAWL will be keeping me twirling in the air for quite some time. (x
Take care & God bless!
On my mark. Get set.
i know the limitations of New Year’s Resolutions, then again, i personally find it highly helpful to set the year right. It works for me (:

1 Timothy 4:12
Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
1 John 5:14-15
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Now, GO!
