breathe upon me...dear lord

Recently, due to stress and heavy work load in school, I have been having difficulty in breathing. Sometimes, the food that i chomped snappily down my throat would get stuck half way thru my esophagus (erm..wrong spelling, i tink. hehe) coz i needed to rush for nxt lesson, or i got to rush to get some work done. I became so bad till I cried out to God, "Help me pls. Breathe upon, God. I can't breathe. Literally."

Today, i juz received an email fr my 'head' who wants to observe 3 of my lessons n check my kids' files. The schedule is spread thruout August. I took a deep breath... and told myself to take all these in its stride. I'm not going to complain and whine. I juz need to start planning my work and discipline my life. Tis not easy as all i want to do is to run away or indulge in you-know-wat. Heheheh...

A life of a T------ is constantly challenging, changing, inspiring, uplifting, motivating, giving, satisfying and interesting on one side of the coin. On the other side, it can also be exhausting, presurising, mentally, emotionally and physically draining, heartbreaking and discouraging. I've dropped into a dark and cold pit months ago. Now, I'm struggling to climb out of this pit. I'm seeing a glimpse of light at the top. Slowly but surely, I'll climb out eventually. Sometimes, i really feel like giving up but in my case, this not possible at the moment. Thank God. He knows. Haha. He wants me to be successful all the way, even at this juncture of my life. I feel that I'm at the final lap of my present career. I muz make it and not break it. However, this means that i muz forget the past (all the hurts n disappointments) and set my eyes on the prize. Oh...it's so easy to say but oh so trying to accomplish. But I muz not give up. dear folks, will you pray with me? Thanx.

What God said to Jacob, he says to you: "I am with you and will watch over you whereever you go". Genesis 28:15
What God said to Joshua, he says to you: "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you". Joshua 1:5
What God said to the nation of Israel, he says to you:"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you". Isaiah 43:2

YEar 2...

Wow rach!!
your grad photo looks cool!!... hope i'll be able to take my grad photo some day!!

Well, school has started for 4 weeks already and i'm already looking forward to my next long holidays... heh... lazy me...

Year 2 seems fun!! I've a module on Art and another on creativity... so very monday, i'll have art lesson for 2 hours and another 2 on creativity.. this is so great because it's like returning back to my childhood days, playing with paint and many other materials and doing things without rules or restrictions... It helps me to destress too. And since it's on every Mon, it helps me to reduce my monday blues!! hee.. so interesting!!

Year 2 stuffs are less dry but application of knowledge learnt from yr 1 is required which i .... erm... (hee.. forgot).. so it's time to revise again... :(..

My time table looks bad too... starting school early and ending it late with so many free periods in between.. But i know soon, these breaks will be cover with project meetings... :)

OK la... I'm still enjoying what i'm doing now...
Hope you all have a great time this week!! Jia you !!
