Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

It is Dage's birthday today. Sent him a SMS after midnight before I slept last night. Will be giving him a treat when he is able to make it. He is the best Dage in the world. For countless times he came to my house, attempting to fix my wireless router. Still, something is very wrong so it is not in working condition till now. I am thus using Justin's PC whenever I need to go online. So my brother has been very kind to meet my needs. Thank God Eileen is back so Justin will be going out more often, which leaves me with more time to use the PC. Haahaa.
My Teaching Assistantship of 5 weeks is finally over. Even the extremely short one week break is almost gone in a flash. Thank God for granting me favor with all men. It is amazing because my two other colleagues (student teachers like myself) are under her supervision but she is most impressed with me! She spent close to an hour 'lecturing' them and giving them feedback on their lessons but spent a mere 20 minutes on me, of which most feedback was positive. She even told me to aim for distinction for the next Practicum of 10 weeks if I am back in the same school and under her supervision again. She praised me and said that I have done over and above what a normal student teacher could do in class. Whao! Even my 3 mentors were very kind and helpful to me. Thanks my friends, for all the prayers.
Buddies such as Rusyinni, Stella, Michelle Tong and Ong, Daphne, Dage, Adam, Simon, Andrew, Wendy etc. I know they prayed for me. I know it each time I asked them to… for particular issues. Prayers move the hand of God.
I missed the children so much. They sang me a song for my last lesson with them. They showered me with cards and little gifts. Most of all, they indulged me with their sweet nothings. A group of boys even stood up and shouted "We love you Ms Gillian!" after the song was done. I almost cried. Tears were already welling up in my eyes and I could only try to hold them there. Never like such scenes… so emotional. But I am okay now. Their smiles are worth the world!
School is starting next week. Going to be busy again, with hectic schedules. I have lessons ending at 6.30pm in the evening, which means I will reach home around 8pm. But most of my lessons start late, near to noon. I rather squeeze myself in the morning in the midst of the crowd rushing for work, then to wake up late and lose time. It takes a lot of discipline to wake up early when you have no morning class that day. Argh… miss school terribly though. Miss my friends, most of all Marie and Chris. My buddies. Time to catch up with a few of my tutors too. Have not met up with them for quite some time.
