Its been raining non stop. If its a holiday I would most probably enjoy it. The weather cool and nice. However, it's not nice walking in the rain everyday to college. Freezing in the lecture halls and not able to play floorball. Worse still the water in hostel is so cold. Quite a torture each time I think of bathing. To make matters worse, the hostel connection seems to have a direct relationship with the weather. When the weather is fine the line is fine and vice versa.
Going to stop subscribing for the internet connection after this month. Assignments going to be over and its just not worth it I suppose.
Well, just to shout!! Finish SFM!!! Yeah!
and 3 more 2 go. =(

People say if you have expressed it out it will be much better. So here it goes...
A total disaster!!
Anyway moving from discouragement to praise.

Ahhh..... tempted to start the day with everything that is up in my mind but decided not to.
Thanks Lord for the wonderful day thus far and for the hours up ahead!
Trusting in You

My internet connection is finally back! Thanks to Mr.Tang =)
Anyway last Wed when and watch MPO with the rest of the hostelians and I actually love the music. However wish there was less plucking. Hehe! Could here the sound of New York Town. 27 of us turn up for the performance below is a group photo. (Not a complete one)
I watched as the conductor looked over to the violin section, then the percussion, then there was a seemingly insignificant lady standing way back in the corner waiting to play her one or two notes on a chime-looking instrument. "Who would even notice if she didn't play her instrument?" I wondered to myself. "The conductor would," said the still voice in my spirit.
An orchestra is a great picture of the way the Body of Christ should operate. It is made up of different people with different gifts, all being led by the one Great Conductor, telling us when to use our gift in the right time. I am sure the lady in the back of the room who only plays a few notes must think she doesn't measure up to the great violinist who sits right up close to the conductor.
However, imagine if you slowly removed each member of the orchestra, one at a time. At first you may not notice any difference without a trained ear. But as you remove each member of the orchestra, you will begin to miss the powerful and melodic sound of many instruments playing together. Finally, when all but a few of the instruments are removed, you notice a big difference in the sound and the void left from key instruments.
Imagine if these instruments tried to go out and play songs all by themselves. Imagine if the tuba tried to play a solo. Or the oboe did the same. You get the idea.
Every member of the Body of Christ matters. Every job matters to God and contributes to our great Conductor's grand plan to fulfill His purposes on the earth. Your contribution matters to God and has no hierarchy of importance.
Play your instrument to the glory of God in unison with the other instruments God has raised up for His purposes.
(My Son, haahaa! He kept Mum company) =) Thanks Son!

[Continuation]
The storm that came
The storm that left
However I wish another storm has passed. The earlier storm could be rectify quite quickly and things could be back to normal. What about the other storm? Why does He do such things I wonder. I said I cannot bear it. I am not able to "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'"
I am glad that before I did something I should not have the Lord reminded me through last Sunday's message. I have to stop trying to take things into my own hands and allow HIM to be the one in control. Although it was hard trying not to since it has been on mind for sometime. Finally the peace that I am on the right track.

My body screams for rest. Almost every part seems to be working in a slightly slower speed. This was how my week was.
Tues
LONG group discussion rush off for CF and back to the desk.
Wed
7am awake. Continue draining my brain juice. Classmate came over at 11 something in the night revamp business plan idea and start from scratch till 4am
Thurs
7.20am cock crows. Half dead. Trapped in the room. Left for a total non beneficial class 2 hours and it was back in prison. Got along the whole gang to be trapped in the dungeon this time round. Work round the clock.
Fri
Passed out for about an hour around 6am. Energy level slight recharged. Finished up the last few bits. Cleaned up the palace chamber and rushed through the King's royal budget calculation 15 minits before presenting to His Majesty. Attain the tickets for the Royal Ball next wednesday. Finally got back to the countryside at 5pm and plug in to the power supply for 2 hours and I am up and running.
P/s Although we only had 4 days to complete the Business Plan but I must say I have learned much through reading. Enjoyed the work! Was the last of such an adventure with the gals. It was a GREAT reunion to the Awesome 5. The latest addition to the gang was with us to for this assignment.
[To be continued] The storm that came to E10 on Thurs Evening and left Fri Morning.

I have always been looking forward to the final semester in college. Pretty much something I have been wondering what it would be since I was still a child. Guess nothing much to shout about. Since the semester till now (week 5) I have been stress out just thinking how I am going to cope with the workload. Its nearly double the work I had last semester. What more with the floorball league going on and also new responsibilities undertaken. Just trying to remain afloat. How I am actually glad with the busyness keeps me from thinking about things that does no benefit. Don't have time to stop to complain or to even think about the pain.
What this academic semester looks like
- Week 5 - Come up with a Business Plan (F&B Industry) for Financial Decision Management (FDM)
- Week 6 - Presenting the Business Plan (FDM) , Risk and Control Strategy Test 1 (RCS)
- Week 7 - Strategic Management (SM) Mid Term Test
- Week 8 - 2 Analysis Report of Companies 6000 words for Strategic Financial Management (SFM)
- Week 10 - Business Plan (Airline Industry) for FDM, Analysis Report 25 pages for SM, RCS Test 2 , Analysis Report of 2 Companies (RCS)
- Week 11 - Presentation of the Business plan (FDM), Presentation of the report (SM)
Can't believe what external consultant do in 3 months or even more we are suppose to do in 5 days. Not to mention the heavy tutorials they load us with to present in class. Looking forward to Week 12. Hopefully can get some studying done to prepare for finals and also the upcoming external exams. Tips to those considering studying CIMA in TARC. Join us if you are looking for experience to work in a pressured environment. Lecturers are sure to give you a glimpse of what you get out there in the corporate world.
