Went for the Geography competition at NUS last saturday! wasn't really expecting much then...cos there were like other really good schools there. I was just going there to give my best and take a look at the FASS..cos there's where i want to be in a few years time!
haha. but my, did we have fun! Coming up with a plan for the marina bay and all!
And here's the greater surprise...we got into the second round of the competition --the Geotrail! :D Everybody's really happy and looking forward to it. Yup and as Mrs Koh said.."Top 30, you know?" haha. I'm just so glad.
Started revision and practice already. Things are going quite well...only that I don't think I'm putting enough effort. It's like I still get distracted ever so easily by almost anything and get tempted to give excuses for my occasional laziness..
And I'm feeling so cut off from God these days. You know how they say, you never know how it's like until you experience it yourself? I never thought I would experience this. I mean, yup there were moments when I did not seek God first...but it's not like now. Izzit because I've sort of am doing lesser Quiet Time. Argh. I don't know. It's like the hols now and my homework schedule is different from normal school days when Quiet Time comes before homework at night. Now I get home earlier and do homework first...Quiet Time drifts out of the picture... I really don't want to let God out of sight. It's just really too scary to picture my life without Him.
I've actually been thinking too..is this one of the times that God outs your faith to the test? Not the whether-you'll stand-for-your-faith kind of test but a test of your faithfulness to God in time like now-when He seems so distant and nowhere.
Ok. I've decided. I'm gonna start with tonight. Those excuse about different schedule is actually just to justify myself, in other words, excuses for myself...A faith that's real, true and strong is one that never quivers in face of challenges AND times of total 'quietness'. When there's no limelight, nobody to see and give praise, will you, will I still be able to keep that faith going, to keep that faith true, strong and real, to keep the passion burning strong in our hearts? I think this is a question that all of us to think about.
