Weren’t you the simplest of all? Wasn’t Mother Teresa simple even when it came to basic necessities? Why do I feel almost compelled to accumulate all that knowledge? Aquinas lectures. Bible study.

I’d passed him the agenda on Thursday evening. I was kinda afraid that I wouldn’t be able to elaborate or articulate my thoughts coherently and wanted to get up early to sort them out and further think about what I wanted to ask or comment on.

I slept 12 hours, got up, and started the day by finishing off my SW3219 tutorial. It was very exciting to complete! We were made to watch this pretty awesome movie on youtube (Homeless to Harvard - the Liz Murray story) and assess the case based on the child-centric theories which we had learnt in lecture 4 (which I had skipped by accident).

Wanting to attach more scanned images from the textbook to Jem and Nico to read, I just searched "logic" in my gmail account and came across a really old email that APY sent out to MOPY CG. I'd put off reading the long article again and again and eventually forgot about it, but I'm kinda glad that happened, because I think the email would have been lost on me if I'd read it in July, 2009. jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04502300702975456695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672240.post-4181946961965149432010-02-18T16:05:00.004+07:002010-02-18T19:26:44.699+07:00FRUSTRATION. that's why sometimes I really think it's better to do individual work, even though it means having to do everything.Azuma relief!@5.06pmjessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04502300702975456695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672240.post-57156923778875678562010-02-17T22:23:00.006+07:002010-02-17T22:28:19.281+07:00Came back from Ash Wednesday mass an hour or so ago.. It was really wonderful, probably because I made the effort to pay as close an attention as I possibly could. And I was rewarded with joy and consolation. So glad I went :) What a beautiful date with Jesus! I'm looking forward to playing for mass this Sunday with the SFA choir again.

Today's lectures were rather good, too.. Thought-provoking, and rewarding. The way my heart raced as I prepared myself to answer one of the lecturer's questions during the narrative lecture really shocked me. It was as if I'd just sprinted 100m or something.. No kidding.

To start the afternoon off, I had lunch at Biz with APY and Angela. So glad to be getting to know them better through the taking of a common module.. They're both so easy to talk to, and it always feels natural being around them. After that, I had to rush off for a lecture..

I had begun to become increasingly aware of how sin was breaking me down, and how it severely affected my day-to-day ability to love patiently. Just the day before, I grew frustrated and to some extent self-destructive; I almost allowed myself to be lost in the sinfulness and the self-pity.

It started out beautiful and ended off beautiful. I woke up after a great chat last night, and got a morning call from him a while after that. We spent another 45 minutes together and he hung up and went back to sleep, while I cabbed down to AMK Hub to meet the comm for our MM meeting.

It's been a fantastic Christmas season; the past 2 weeks have been really awesome. I spent lots of time with my loved ones, caught up with old and new friends alike, and attended midnight mass with Daryl. We managed to spend quite a bit of time together in the leadup to Christmas and I'm so thankful for that :) I always enjoy every moment even when we're both stoned jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04502300702975456695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672240.post-66070290871430230512009-12-22T13:31:00.003+07:002009-12-22T13:32:55.268+07:00Daddy sent this email to us and some of his friends..

Tired but feeling pretty happy. After cleaning up the rooms in the morning and breaking camp, I went home and made some envelopes, and had a good few hours preparing for the solo songs with Leonard. We headed over to Cher's place early.. and I reunited with the old comm!! It was awesome..

I was disappointed by my not-really-that-perfect-afterall eyesight.. I had to squint to see the stars, and I wasn't sure whether the faint glows were simply creations of jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04502300702975456695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672240.post-73096490494146584832009-12-15T20:34:00.068+07:002009-12-15T21:41:16.744+07:00I received the sms and decided to go downstairs for a stroll. It was really enjoyable to take a walk in the tranquility and coolness of the night, with nothing but the sound of flowing water as background music. During the 40 minutes or so I spent downstairs, a lot went through my mind.

Spent most of it sleeping and thinking of ideas for my christmas cards.. Though I've been waiting for an off-day like this for some time now I still feel like there's so much to do, and I can hardly kick back and really relax. Tying up loose ends for carolling and ADVENTure is giving me a slight headache.

Today I grappled with the awkward combination of anticipation and dread. Anticipation for confirmation mass, for which we've been practising quite a bit.. And dread because tomorrow's the 14th. The 14th also marks the beginning of the most hectic week of this holiday for me.Started the day off at St Mary's..

On returning home from St Joseph's I decided to succumb to the power of the pill for my cold. Never really liked taking medication cos I prefer to rely on my own body's resistance, but I can't be singing tmr in this state... :( Praise and worship at Biz went pretty smoothly..

After 4 hours of sitting around and trying to finish my book in the salon I decided to go for mass at IHM, since time permitted.. I didn't expect to be so moved by it, given that I was feeling really tired and went in lamenting my sinful nature.
