Graphical User Interface Development: B+ (i finally got a 'B+' for java!! i've never gotten anything higher than a 'C' for all my programming modules.. yay!)

Web-Based Application Development: D (at least i passed.. ha. really struggled with this module.. thank God for His favor and grace that my tutor gave me extra time to complete and debug my assignment.. not just once.. but TWICE ok! woohoo~ thanks miss chiang!)

yep! happy!! ^^ mmm.. actually i'm quite amazed at how things turned out for the better in this semester.. its started off lousy cuz i din get into the sub-course that i wanted.. it was either 'Enterprise' or 'E-Commerce'.. everyone said that e-commerce was easier and less stressful.. but i got into enterprise instead! -.- wads more.. all of my friends got into e-commerce.. how boring is that!

so i approached my director and appealed for a transfer.. met up with him in person.. tried my best to convince him in helping me in my transfer.. but failed.. he was really nice though.. he encouraged me and offered to help me out if i had any problems in my studies..

so yep, went ahead and studied in Enterprise.. then, things became worse.. for 3 of my main modules.. i had alot of problems with my members in our group assignment.. for GUID, peiyong and i did most of the work.. the other 2 of my members were always missing in action.. one is never in school because she's being constantly admitted to the hospital.. the other one, she just doesnt do her part for the assignment.. as for SWEN and WBAD, i got stuck with the same 2 girls and with another guy.. horrible.. its so hard to meet up to do assignments together la.. then in the end, all the compilation were rushed and done last minute.. cock up. program cant run.. ugh. felt really discouraged.. thinking, how am i ever gonna make it through.. but God is indeed faithful..

Dear God, thank You for maximising my time and capacity.. to help me cope with all the problems i had to face.. to be able to complete all of my assignments on time despite the fact that i've got other commitments.. especially for my WBAD assignment.. thank You for Your grace and favor that i received from my tutors.. i know i wouldn't have done so well in this semester if it wasnt for You :))

mmm.. 2007 has indeed been a great year so far.. even though i feel kinda stagnant in my dance right now.. but i'm beliving that things are gonna change.. the next breakthru in my life is gonna be my dance! yep! 2 more months until we graduate from project o.. its been a long and tough journey.. characters have been shaken and moulded.. problems have arised time and time again.. some have fallen and some are still standing strong.. its been a tough battle.. but i'm not gonna give up.. i'm gonna continue running this race.. i wanna be God's dancer.. serving in ministry.. not just within the 4 walls of church.. but out there in the world.. in the marketplace..

i wanna fulfil the destiny that God has for me.. its not gonna be easy.. i know, because i've been tested.. some how or rather, i sort of did lose sight of my vision.. dancing became a daily routine for me.. i just dance for the sake of dancing.. not because i want to.. but because i have to.. the passion died down.. i became tired.. things became worse when i saw no improvement.. people kept telling me that i'm not executing the steps well enough or big enough.. it really took a toll of my self-confidence.. i started being conscious of my movements.. i dared not show/express myself.. i felt restricted.. i couldnt dance when being singled out.. not even if my life depended on it.. yes.. it was that bad.. i was so afraid of what people might say about me.. about the way i danced..

so many times, i questioned God.. am i really called to dance for You? why am i not seeing my breakthrough? will i ever be a good enough dancer? thoughts of giving up came flooding through my mind in times like these.. trust me.. i really wanted to just give up.. but thankfully, i didnt.. God was there.. He knew wad i was going through.. He spoke words of encouragement to me through people.. it was then that it hit me.. that i can never get a breakthru if i dont work hard enuff for it.. i have to change this negative mindset of mine.. stay focused on the vision that God has given to me.. just take that first step of faith and believe.. i know that in due season, i'll reap the harvest.. i want to reach my maximum potential.. to fulfil God's calling and purpose for my life.. and when i go to heaven one day.. it'll be awesome to hear God say "well done good and faithful servant" :))

yep! am gonna work hard for the next two months.. there'll be lotsa dancing! talent time, easter production and also practicing for our final dance exam.. its the last lap.. and i wanna end it with a bang! jia you~ ^^

p/s: i just checked my email and this is what i received from this week's leadership files..

Quote - 'Attitude and personality are as important as experience and ability. Choose wisely.' - Brian Tracy

Hi, I'm Phil PringleYou're going to love this;

Our success depends upon whether our attitude is positive or negative, sour or sweet, good or bad.

All of life flows from attitude.
An 'up' attitude equals an 'up' life.
Down attitude, down life.
Negative attitudes form a poor platform for action.
We change our attitudes from;


Fear to Faith 'I believe God', - Say it!

Anxiety to Trust 'I trust God', - Say it!

Anger to Peace 'I forgive them' - Say it!

Hatred to Love 'I will love them' - Say it!

o-some isnt it?! God always has the perfect timing.. especially when people are in need of assurance and encouragements.. He's never too late :))
