The experience of giving tuition

WHEE! i'm glad that i'm done with giving eng tuition! well, it was supposed to be 8 sessions but i guess both of us are busy with our own things..so i really thank God he initiated that he wanted the last session to be today! so i had 5 sessions altogether(: I thank God for giving me strength to give tuition to this china boy, esp when the time is at 5pm. And thank God for wisdom too to be able to teach him. quite tough at times..but the one and a half hrs pass really fast!!(: overall, it was a great learning experience for me esp when it is my first time giving tuition!!I have been blogging frequently recently! (: does this show i'm free?? anyway, i need to have gd time management as i will be away for like the whole dec??
counting down...

life is unpredictable...

oh well, lots of things have happened the past week and have caused me to think hard...firstly, the sudden death of the old granny in my sch who used to picked up cans in the dustbin and frm sizzlin ice..i remembered the times where she will stop over at sizzlin ice to talk to us in hokkien but i usually just nod and pretend to understand..and she's now gone just like that due to an unforeseen accident which nobody wanted it to happen. but I guess its God's will..
secondly, the recent news on the dragon boat tragedy in which 5 lives were taken, out of the 5 only 2 were christians..and i was really really upset abt this tragedy, so young and they left earth just like that..many will wonder why these specific 5 lives were taken..and i know God has His reasons. Thru this 2 incidents, God spoke to me like how lives can be taken suddenly just like that, and i feel this burden to reach out quickly to the lost souls out there which i have been praying for. It's realy unpredictable. I wld really hope to see my loved ones and friends in heaven some day where we will live for eternity! (:

TIME IS PASSING REAL FAST!! Yf camp is next week followed by SS camp then off i fly offff! yay!!!(:
