SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS.

PRAISE REPORT.

Guess I need to start logging my testimonies before i forget them. :) And I promised God I'd give Him glory.

1. I need to thank God for the opportunities He placed before me. I have been praying for opportunities, and i knew what I was getting myself into, but this time was alert and determined to go all the way. He opened many opportunities to me, in school, at work.. and I didn't even realise it because it was so instinctual that I just grabbed them and didn't even give a split second of hesitation to pass it off. blown away.

2. Next, I thank God for my results. No doubt they are not awesome, but they aren't mine to claim. :). I couldn't have done them alone and I really lifted them up. I can just see that God was with me all the way. I got a distinction for my design, for many of you it was perhaps a hard scoring module. But I want you to know I didn't do it on my own. I went to Australia during submission period of CA2, and God blessed me with good friends that even offered to help me submit it. Beyond that, even the designs, the inspiration, the effects, it was all from God. the whole concept and the ideas, I prayed. And God brought me through it. all the way to the end, it was always God.

3. I need to thank God for my A in law as well, because, it is quite a difficult module to study for, as much as I love it there's a lot of memory work to be done. And I can't really say I put a lot of effort into studying, it just all didn't seem to go in! and the paper was on a thursday, which didn't help one bit. I went to cell the day before and was seriously freaking myself out in my mind! my body was in cell group alright, but my mind was flipping through my textbook. HAHA. then I realised man, you know I don't remember anything. And I was trying to piece definitions but ZILCH. Well, ofcourse I managed to tell myself nonono. you have God and you raised it up to Him. He created law, do you think He won't know ?!?!? and immediately I knew I was off track. I bounced back, I prayed, and I read the bible on the way to school. I can even remember I was without notes outside the exam hall. AN A. THAT IS THE POWER OF MY GOD.

4. And ofcourse, I injured my leg 2 weeks back, I think it may be my running style, or the fact that the route I took had too much incline. any the case, it was bad for a week at least. Then when I tried to run after I feared it was turning into an old injury. I hardly met 7KM last week. It was scary, especially the thought of not being able to run anymore. But GOD HEALED ME. And I am still so amazed. It's IMPOSSIBLE. sweet. All praise to God. :):)

5. Lastly, I just want to thank God for His favor on my life. I mean I have the opportunity to do all the things I like and still stay on the path, and focused. :P I thank Him for blessing me. Like how I can have so much going on but still excel. How I can not even miss a single cell group session even when school work gets crazy, even when the next day is a major paper, even when I feel like I am not prepared at all, even so, I never doubted my Lord. And I can spend my saturdays at church each week, even tough sometime I think it's unfair how all my classmates get 24 more hours than I. but who was I kidding! >

woah. I didn't know how much I had to thank God for till I started, and now I can't stop. :D:D

THE RICHES OF YOUR LOVE

WILL ALWAYS BE ENOUGH."

Decided to start blogging again, not tht anyone will read as my blog has been dead for a few centuries alr. HAHA.

I've decided to take a new light on blogging, and there wont be any pessimism or complains, pure personality. :) I've deleted my whole archive as you can see. A FRESH START. :D

I guess blogging really is an outlet. ah wells. I prefer that I am the only one who reads this, till it gets discovered anw. Probably won't update often, just when I feel like it.

BEen really tied down lately it's really stressing me out. :S don't even have time to meet up with friends, not even my really good friend LENNON. Sorry buddy. :( can't bear to reject him anymore. :S

Alright, here goes...

Passions are really precious things. They are hard to find, but easy to get snatched away. By someone's mere sweeping statement you may just lose it all. But we got to hold on and stand strong, because what you have in your heart, NO ONE can take away. A true passion will NEVER die. I really need to safe guard all my passions and dreams, not allowing anyone to snatch them away. Sometimes they just seem so far and so unattainable, and its scary. honestly scary. My Lord is greater than any giants I guess? :)

I love running. to have a passion, doesn't mean you have to be excellent at it. I am not really a great runner at all. I am not an athlete. But my passion has evolved, ever since i took up the courage, the faith, with that really really special encouragement of a best friend that day, and I realised I could run. It grew so more as I came to poly, and I really ventured new heights. Crazy limits like 10KM were so beyond my reach, the most I ever ran was 2.4. But I made it. And when you attain something like that, you just got to go further. I would never have seen myself running marathons at all. but I just got to get it. The adrenaline rush!

Running to me is like life itself. It is the only time i can experience complete FREEDOM and nothing else will cut it. The feeling you receive for just simply completing a target you set for yourself, especially when you feel like throwing in the towel half way there is remarkable. It's a feeling you can't explain and I get high on running. I could run everyday any time. its just me. And I feel really restricted cos I can't be like some of my friends who can run at any waking moment. My parents will kill me if I told them I was going for a run after 7. It's such a pity.

I LOVE THE DRUMS MORE THAN EVER!! Drumming is the greatest discovery of life. It's crazy! Someone made a statement the other day that really affected me. they said, " nina is learning drums now." Let me get this straight. you can't LEARN drums. Drumming is an art, it's a feel. you can't LEARN it. It just comes to you.
