Day Ichi

Ahhh... today is over >.<

I'm bushed.

I'm having another cycle today.

Mood 1: Tired and depressed.

2hrs practical, 3 hrs break, 2 hrs lecture, 2 hrs tutorial. Give me a break man. I mean, yes, I had 3 hrs break but you know, sometimes its the long, long, long breaks that tire you most. When your mind has nothing much to do but count down the remaining hours. Prof Li rushed through the lecture today. He's an amazing lecturer. 2 hrs was already very short for the amount of content he had to cover, but his lecture time was further shortened by the double-booking of the LT we were supposed to use. Somehow, he covered all 76 slides in less than 1.5hrs, and still managed to be more coherent and comprehendable than some lecturers (or rather one lecturer) who have had 6 hrs. When he finished EXACTLY on the dot, everyone applauded. Prof Lars came in for his tutorial today, and I could see him trying to engage us. Unfortunately, the circumstances were just against him. We'd already had 7 hrs worth of brain activity, with the last 1.5 being particularly taxing, and we just couldn't take it in anymore. And then there was Prof Law who, with his perpetual grin, somehow crammed even more into our heads.

Darn. Why am I not surprised that I have no motivation whatsoever to go back tomorrow?

Mood 2: Slightly rejuvenated, with more determination.

Akiramete nai, nai, NAI! I went through my blessings with God in the shower, and I realized how fortunate I am. Maybe I've been watching too much Kaleido Star, but I think I see how Sora makes it through tiring times. When you take time to realize that you've got friends, you've got family, you've got creature comforts, and most importantly, you've got God, who in the first place gave you all these things, you start to feel more uplifted.

I thank God for this day, for the sun in the sky,
For the friends that I have, for the fun that we have shared.

Yes, this March holiday will be the most meaningful and memorable one I've ever had.

For His love that's all around, 'cause He listens to our prayers.
That's why I say thanks everyday.
Because a thankful heart is a happy heart,
I'm glad for what I have, that's an easy way to start.

In fact, that's the only way to start. Why focus on the things I'm missing, when I can enjoy the things I do have?

For His love that's all around, 'cause He listens to our prayers.
That's why I say thanks everyday.


I guess this goes to show VeggieTales isn't just for kids :) Though this version of the Thankfulness Song has some editions of my own.

I haven't sung this song in a long time. Maybe that's why I've been feeling so tired since this year started. It's because I'd forgotten how to give it all to God.

Notice something? This time the cycle's coming round.
