It was a nice day of studying in school. There wasnt any class, thus no need to rush off from places to places. Settled down in a corner of library with my frens, overlooking the nice campus green. Peaceful and motivated to study. It was fruitful.

Went to Serangoon Cenral to visit one of my kids who just moved there. I think I made her day, coz she was smiling non-stop when I visited her. She has been upset that no one visited her since she moved there more than a month ago, so there i went, with a nice pink folder with 6 pictures of Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella Sleeping Beauty and two others that i forgot. harhar. glad to be able to bless her. she was one of my nicest kid on my bus, always calling me to chat with me when she was young. super adorable. and i discovered something today. she likes ARIEL! just like joyce!! harhar..

This trip to Serangoon brought back many memories. This was the place I hanged out for 4 years in my life. St. Gabriel's Secondary School, the place that molded me for my future. Im glad that I'm still able to keep in contact with my friends and teachers then. Meeting up every year, for lunch or dinner during the CNY period. Looking back, I felt old again, but i know that I have learnt alot over the years.

Met another secondary school friend in SMU today, he came over to look for our friend, who was from SGSS too. His first remark was, I looked so different. From SGSS days. I totally agree with him. I still remember the days when i was a nerdy boy in SGSS, not knowing anyone in school. Didnt know how to dress up, and I'm definitely not vain then. super innocent young boy and life was plain and simply boring. Life was just school, and home. nothing else. I was brought up quite strictly, that means no late nights out, no hanging out too much other than for projects.

It was only in Sec 4 after I came to church that my transformation took place. I've been feeling sentimental recently, looking back at my roots. N God keeps putting me into such situations, getting me to look back at those days. Went past my school on the bus home just now. Tremendous change. nearly couldnt recognise it. But its nicer, going from glory to glory. Just like how my life has turned out. It's been 11 years ago since i first stepped foot into SGSS. more than a decade has passed. amazed at the things that has happened in my life thus far.

reflecting is good, dwelling in your past is not.
thinking is good, thinking too much is not.
planning is good, planning too much is not.

anything that's in excess is never good for us. something i heard yesterday. it's a thin fine line between confidence and arrogance. there's a thin fine line in many things in our life. know the balance. seek the right balance.

something happened on monday. not a real emergency, but it is a cause for concern. i need to rework my plans. im not sure how i plan to go about doing it, as too many things are holding me back. taking a step at a time. i need time to think.

relying on Him even more..............................................................................
