In between work and on the train, I try to squeeze in time to do some reading and the book I’m currently on right now is this one by Jentezen Franklin entitled, “Believe That You Can”. It’s a very inspiring and eye-opening book about dreams – having one, striving for it no matter what the circumstances may be, and using the achievement of a dream to make the difference in other people’s lives too.
And this week, I have learnt one valuable lesson – there is 1 thing that can make one person succeed where another fails. One thing that can take you from mediocrity to excellence. One thing that can infuse your life with power and purpose. One thing that sets “great” leaders apart from “average” leaders. It’s passion.
I reckon that in whatever we strive to do or achieve, if the passion is lost, the drive and the enthusiasm goes down with it too, so let’s try to make a conscious effort to fuel the fire for a burning passion and not give up no matter what the circumstances may be. *smile* Remember, never settle for 2nd best but instead strive for excellence. All the time. *smile* Have a great week guys and thank you for keeping me in your prayers. Mwah!!!
It’s a miracle!!!! *grin* For the first time since I started the course, I have a perfect score for my main general achievement test!!!! Thank you so so much for praying for me (mum and dad, that includes you tooo!!!!! Hehe). It definitely made all the difference and God is so gracious. I’m so so sooooooo thrilled!! *grin*
It was the best news I heard all day… *laugh* because at school I found out that we had to do a 3rd test for diction and pronunciation right after we finished our 2nd test for the day. So we started off with our first kanji test followed by the weekly achievement test and the additional diction test. Tough day but it definitely ended on a good note for me. Hehe. Not sure about today’s test tho…*laugh* It was tough and 100% doesn’t come all the time. *laugh*
Anyways I’m glad the weekend has finally arrived. It’s my favourite time of the week and as always, I look forward to working in my pyjamas tomorrow. Yay! Hehe. Hope you guys will have a good one at your end too. It was a beautiful but hot day today. It’s about 13 degrees right now but no complaints because it's perfect for me! Hehe.
I’m gonna work on some new compositions this weekend. Being in a relaxed state of mind is always good for creativity and since my weekend has already started on a happy note, I think I'll have a few tunes to pen down now… *grin* Time to let the creative juices flow! Haha. Sorry I can't stop smiling. Hehe. Thanks again for praying for me and for being so supportive. I love you most! *smile* Mwahhhhh!
Trying to cram for 2 tests at the Language school tomorrow. Almost 4am and I don’t think I’ll be getting much sleep tonight. *laugh* Can’t wait for the day to be over!!! Haha. Once my vocal session after school tomorrow night is over, I’m gonna head home, take a nice hot bath, have a nice late home-cooked dinner and crash! Haha. Can’t wait! *grin*
Meantime, I wanted to show you this. The ultimate D-I-Y stress-reliever….tadaaaa! Hehe..
I have decided that black is now the new blond. *big-smile* Back to basics and not to mention the most economical way to upkeep your hair! Haha. Ok guys, sorry gotta head back to my books now. Pray for me k. Love love love you!!!! *smile* Mwah!
My final test results are out and I thank God for yet another miracle! *grin* Thank you so much for praying for me and for all your encouragement through the week. Big hugs!!!! MWahhhh~ Didn't expect full marks but no complaints tho!!! Haha. We started our first lesson of Kanji this week and I keep reminding myself that once it's all in my head, it won't be such a nightmare anymore. *laugh* Just gotta sharpen this rusty brain of mine first la... Hahaha.
Meantime, check this out – an orange-lemon hybrid! Hahaha. It has the colour and smell of an orange but it looks and tastes like a lemon. Hehe.
3 of these alone cost ¥315 (slightly over RM10) so it’s not a cheap lemon mind you! *laugh* Interesting to know tho ay? Haha.
Was talking to mum and dad last night over skype, planning what to do when they're here next next week. I'm sooooo excited! Can hardly wait! Hehe. But y'know what? Out of all the places, guess where my folks wanna visit in Japan for their 1st trip? Guess, guess, guess???
They wanna go to Disneyland. BOTH!!! Haha. So cute. They said that as long as they get to spend 2 days in both Disneyland and Disney Sea, they're happy. *laugh* So I guess I'll have more pics for you from Disneyland in another few weeks ya. Haha. You can never have too much of Disneyland and the company is what matters most so no complaints!!! Really looking forward to it with my folks. Yay!!!!
