im starting to believe that PE life in RJ is fantastic. yesterday for PE we had a lecture on goal setting. can u believe it? i mean, a lecture, by a PE teacher in shorts, telling you how setting goals will help you tremendously in life and how to go about doing it. how slack is that? and today, we ran four rounds around the track before playing soccer. i think im having it relatively easy, compared to my compatriots in VJ or TJ. forgive me if the rumours i heard are wrong, but apparently VJ guys do 4.8km every lesson along east coast and TJ students add an extra round every week to the number of rounds they have to do. based on what i've heard, seems like it's 3.2km for TJ now.
so PE in RJ is comparatively slack, but who's complaining? no one rite? it's not that i have anything against PE, it's just that it's against my nature to take part in anything that requires physical exertion. haha. yes, im a couch potato. i've been trying to get in shape. last week i went down to bedok stadium to run 2.4km, it wasnt too bad, just that i could have run faster. if all goes well, i will either go running again tml or on thursday. and those of you who know me well enough surely will be gasping and writhing on the floor in spasms now. "What?! noah is exercising?!" yes, yes. do not discount the fact that NS call-ups are in two years time. but even then, two years is too long a time. because, napfa will be held in april. so to ensure i can shave two months off ns, i have to get a silver by next april. i know that to many of you a silver could be considered a disappointment. but to me, i would be satisfied with a bronze. too bad the army isnt. to me, napfa is the hardest test. you can study to get A1s, that's fine, and it involves alot less pain as compared to hitting the track and doing crunches. but i wont complain. i used to berate the singapore government for forcing all males against their will to "serve the nation". yet now i think i am resigned to fate and conforming to this society. but indeed, if i have to do it, i'll do it. though i much rather go to uni and finish my education and start working.
complaints about NS aside. countdown to O level results day: 3 days!!! oh man, it's just crazy. while i keep telling myself not to worry, since nothing can be done about it, what's done is done you know? i still cant help thinking about it. what if i dont get single digit? what if i fail something? despite it being very kiam pak (qian da), still, im a mere mortal right?
oh well, the days are getting better and brighter. God is with me and i am slowly but surely settling into the momentum of things. RJC is a cool place and i think i might just stay to rough it out, and end up a better person because of it all.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance; perserverance character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. (Romans 5:1-5)
what a gem from the pages of the Bible. the Bible is a mine full of diamonds, we just have to dig in deep to find them. hope in the
