Won against Nan Hua Primary 18 : 9 today. I think the coaches were good friends so we didn't thrashed them to bits today. But nonetheless, it was a good match. There were some surprises - like Han Htun being tough, Jian Ming being very strong in defending.

Got to know of more trouble that I caused in school. Heard from the grapevine that some teachers complained when I did a selection among the P4s. The selection were supposed to be among the P3 only. However, if I had kept what I had in P4s, the team will have no hope in future. Anyway, I think I better watch my backside. Too many arrows already. If this goes on, I think I can't even continue God's ministry in school anymore.

Got to hear of my pupils taking cigarettes to school. One of my girls claimed that she was given the cigarettes. I can believe her but I counselled her that she needs to be careful of the friends that she is hanging out with. I think she would heed my advice. But her situation is rather bad. . hopefully, she would be smarter and be mindful.

Looking forward to santification week. I think it'll be a great experience. And this time, bringing the young ones there too. I think it will be a real eye opener for them.

Tuesday

Phew, finally got things done. Had a lot of things going on at the same time - doing up a science noticeboard, getting ready for the Sony Science Creative Award at my school, preparing for the upcoming P5 camp at Jalan Bahtera. I think that's quite a lot of things going for one semester!

Today apologized to J. Didn't really get to see him personally, I guess he's sort of avoiding me. Anyway, I was too busy to get a chance to apologize to him face to face. I will definitely do it if I manage to catch him at a good opportunity. I was running around like a busy bumblebee all day. But seriously, I am enjoying myself. It's not often that I get to actually "enjoy" my days in school. I am glad that they took me down from being an ADM. Phew, that's one post which I really didn't enjoy at all!

I was examining myself today. This week is the santification week for my network in church. Santification, means, . . .setting apart for God. I know it more as making myself pure, making myself close to God, setting myself apart from other non-believers for God's purpose. But somehow, my view of santification means a lot different now. I remember last time, when I was still struggling, santification meant keeping myself away from tempations. But now, I felt as if it's a special occasion for me to just set me and my family apart, to put ourselves for God's purposes, especially since I am in a ministry where I can make a difference to my sons and daughters lives.

I thanked God for these few children that I can shower my love upon. Sometimes, as I think about how they come into our lives, it's really such an improbable task. Right now, I just want to keep praying for them and watch them grow and be independent sons and daughters for God. Each of them are different, in fact, vastly different in aptitude, attitude and values. For me, I hope to imbue within them a love for God, a close relationship for His family and a strong foundation of Him. I think if I can do that, I would have been successful.

Match against BPPS

We won today! It was a hard-fought match but we managed to take home 22:17 lead. That's amazing considering that this is only our second match.

Yesterday, I watched a fantastic show called Girdion Gang. Felt very inspired by the coach and really felt as if I am indeed in a position to do something! To make a difference in my pupils. But today, met with some hipcups at work. I railed at a colleague of mine - let's call the person J. I guess I just lost my head - what with all the many things going on. But somehow, with all the stress mounting on me, I can still manage to laugh and smile at life.

I want to really give thanks for the security that God has given me - though I can't feel His presence at times, I know that He is there for me. Even today, I had been through just so much "trauma" yet I just laughed my way to my boss office to let him know about the mistake I made.

I am looking forward to tomorrow. Will have to apologize to J, don't know if he would accept my apology. I think I made him feel really bad, and I think he really is pissed off after the incident yesterday. But I just do what I have to do and go on with life. Tomorrow, I get to announce the good news to the school! Wow, I can imagine the pride that is going on in them! Way to go!
