Just a little farther north, people are hurting. Some of them have lost loved ones, and some of them have lost homes. Some of them have lost jobs, and some of them have lost entire livelihoods.
Definitely, the disaster which struck Japan has called forth cries of sorrow & mournings of grief. But life will still have to move on for them. I'll be keeping the Japanese in my prayers, and I believe strongly that no matter how tough the situation can get, they will emerge even tougher.
Truly, all I can do now is just pray. Not only in the aspect of Japan's meltdown, but also my personal life.
I wouldn't say this week was a very good one. Sure, I had a lot of fun catching up with all my different groups of friends, but there was always this heavy cloud that hung over my head and followed me wherever I went, refusing to disperse. I'm constantly reminded of the need to complete all my schoolwork on time, but I always fail to do so. It's an eternal struggle, really, because schoolwork definitely isn't what I would enjoy doing, and it's also because I'm not a masochist. I wouldn't gladly force myself to sit still only to subject myself to various sorts of brain torture. It disappoints me greatly, too, when I picture myself being extremely productive only to reach home and not touch a single assignment.
However, in social terms, this March break has been a fruitful one. Kept myself occupied with a string of activities. There was the kite-flying outing I had with the cell group on Saturday, the major camwhoring session with some of my classmates on Friday night, the swim trainings where I, more or less, managed to get closer to my teammates, and also the Pre-University Seminar training sessions. On top of that, I've also managed to squeeze in some family time.
And just today, I met up with Joel & Ron for a lunch session which was followed by a trip back to secondary school with my friends who were from Chinese Orchestra. In the evening, we made our way to Bedok for a cell group meeting.
Anyway, I was walking on a new pair of flip-flops the entire day. When I got home, my feet were sore with blisters. I hate how they sting in the shower, and how they make walking so uncomfortable. Remind me to never wear flip-flops out again. I should restrict their use to only for swim trainings.
Well, enough with my social life already. I have yet to complete my share of the GP project. On top of that, I have yet to complete my Chinese homework & Chemistry e-learning. I wasn't able to complete the tutorials for Chemistry & Math either. They're just too difficult, with some questions testing topics the lectures haven't even touched on yet.
I'll try to rush the GP project & Chinese assignments tomorrow morning before church. Wish me luck.
