Here I am, sitting at my desk, trying to quell the feelings of nervousness in me.. My 2nd solo presentation! (Only this one's gonna last half an hour to 1 hour as compared to 5 min previously.) Was wondering how to set up the meeting room (cos Boss so nicely emailed and asked me to get projector and set up the room but I don't see any computer in the room so... guess I'll have to ask) and feeling nervousness start to slowly but surely creep in, then my handphone vibrated.

And I saw this message:

"Remember psalm 23. He will b with you wherever you go n whatever you do." - Daddy

Man, if I were any more emotional I would start tearing. God is so good! He sent my dad to send me an sms just as I was really starting to get scared cos well. I've never presented in front of so many working adults before and I always feel I haven't practised enough. Bah. But but. My heart's thumping, papers spread out on my table, slides on the monitor screen... and then God sends someone to encourage me in my time of need, when I feel quite alone. Hmm. Yeah.

God is good!

Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside quiet waters
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His Name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (or scary presentations),
I will fear no evil
For You are with me
Your rod and your staff
They comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You aniont my head with oil
My cup overflows
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Today I visited...

http://y-jesus.com/why_jesus1.php

Chanced upon this while researching some work stuff online, and I couldn't stop reading. (Eh, I'd finished my slides already, now I'm just prepping what to say for tomorrow! Anyway I can multitask, right right? :P) It might help when trying to talk to unbelievers about God. :) Plus it's super interesting to read.

Happy exploring the website!

OHMYWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gerald just told me that he wants me to present my project to I-don't-know-who-but-most-likely-the-BIGMENINOFFICE, for real!

Ohmywordohmywordohmyword.

We were just discussing some changes that he wanted me to make to the scoring sheet and presentation, like slides to add in, tables to change, changes in calculation methods (I have to come up with my own formula lor! o.O) when he added casually at the end, "... ... then you present ah!"

o.O Just like that!

I thought he was gonna be the one presenting, I'd just do the slides like the last time he had a presentation!

ARGHHHHHH I'm not a natural presenter, I need to practise the night before and the day itself AND yet I'll still be nervous, and the only time I presented to some big shots in BGS I was quaking! >.< I'm half-thankful that SMU has so many presentations, and during the recent sem I progressed to not holding cards, cos I'm pretty sure no one holds cards during office presentations.

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH! >.<


Andandand. The blister on my right toe is hurting! Don't worry, it's only ONE blister, I didn't catch it, hur hur hur. My immunity system is strong! God is even stronger. :D I got it cos I geh-kiang-ly exercised on the cycling machine barefooted. :X

Note to self: Never cycle on the cycling machine without socks/shoes again.

Proverbs 18:2

A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.


Consider your words carefully. Are you a fool or are you more mature than that, to put yourself in the shoes of another and consider others' feelings and perspectives? I wish you'd grow up for once. You knew it'd hurt. Yet you still said all those things, as if only your feelings matter. Saying sorry does NOT justify all the things you said. Have you EVER, ever tried to understand how they feel? And do you have any idea how it feels like to be reading all those accusations off your blog?And when people don't talk to you because they are so HURT by what you have published for the whole world to see on your blog, you assume that you have been alienated. STOP DWELLING IN SELF PITY! JOLLY WELL HELP YOURSELF BY GROWING UP.iT'S NOT ALWaYS THE FAULT OF OTHERS. look TO yourself BEFORE POINTING THE FINGER AT OTHERS.

Earlier this night I felt like a certain Prince Charming, calling out to his Damsel in Distress / Rapunzel for he could not go to where she was.

HAHAHA.. Oh my. What an experience. But it was worth it, nonetheless. :)

The saying that 'It is far better to give than to receive' is so true! To bring joy to another is such a rewarding thing to do. So it's better to give than to receive, cos in giving, I receive as well. :) :) :)

Happy is today. :) God is good. :)
