Commit to the Lord in whatever you do and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

Plaster disaster

Dear Director of Temasek Design School.

My name is Cheris Lee from PID year 3, the girl you met at the carpark earlier at night behind the workshop.

I seek your understanding for creating the mess outside the workshop. There was an unfortunate sequence of events that I will explain further in this email.

After consulting my lecturers, course manager and workshop technicians, I realised that plaster of paris is my best solution to create a mould, which is highly important for my model-making.

Initially I started mixing the plaster in the workshop, however I was afraid that it will be difficult to clear up later, so I brought the plaster out to the carpark area. Problems started surfacing as my fellow coursemate asked if I added wax before the layer of plaster, which I did not. Without that layer of wax, he said that it would be impossible to remove out of my expensive shell. This brought me and my friends into panic, so we took a hammer and tried to break the plaster. The hammering caused the pieces of plaster to fly around uncontrollably. Also, after 2 rounds of mixing plaster with water, the powder-form plaster started to fly around due to the wind. Layers of plaster clogged up on the roadside as we mixed 7-8 buckets of plaster. At first, I was not worried about the washing up because the plaster is water-soluable.

However, after the workshop closed, my friends and I, 10 of us altogether, stayed 1.5 hours to scrub, scrap and wash away the plaster. The remaining was difficult to tackle as the plaster formed in the gaps on the uneven road. Despite the difficulty, there is a high chance for the plaster to be forced out with a pressure hose.

I am very apologetic of the situation, I hope you understand that we have tried very hard to clean the mess. I have attached a few pictures below to show of the situation. Once again, I am sorry.

Thank you.

I’m getting fustrated.

I know I shouldn’t. But I am.

My head and my throat hurts.

Even though I have had enough rest.

Ideas aren’t flowing.

But my head’s spinning.

O Lord, O Lord.

Why?

Dear God.
I know how selfish I am. Looking for You only when I need help. I’m sorry.
But Lord, You’ve also said that You will never leave nor forsake me.
Lord, You have also said that “Ask and I’ll give the nations to you”.
Lord, Please help me to tide through this period.
This tough tough period, I pray You’ll stay by my side.
Hold my hand when I’m on the computer. Urging me to continue and not give up.

Phillipians 4:13 I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me.

In Jesus name I pray.
Amen.

2010

As 2009 ends, it only leaves me with more questions about the new year.

How can I quickly attain my diploma?
What will I do after I’ve attained it?
Will it be working or studying for me?
What will I be working as?
What do I really want to study?
Do I have confidence I will do well for it?

Will I keep serving in the Mandarin Youth Ministry?
If so, what role will I choose this time?
If not, where does God want me to serve?
English Ministry? A different church altogether?

I know we are all worried/anxious about the future.
But really, I will just keep praying for a direction.
And maybe this time God will show me divine interventions I’ve so often heard about.
And it excites me, how this experience would be if it does happen.
Or how disappointed and lost I will be if it doesn’t.

I believe in white and black areas.
But I also understand the existence of grey areas.

Pink!

And when the night ended, Colin asked, “So what colour is it today?”
“PINK!” I yelled.

Before the great night ended, my BFF, BGFF and I snuck out to the rooftop.
Drinking beer, singing songs from all kinds of genres and dancing like nobody’s watching.

Did I also mention I saw 3 shooting stars on the roof the other day?
I was sooo shocked that I couldn’t make a wish on time.
But I saw another today and made one.

Pink? Definitely. Though I used to hate that colour but you can’t deny its joyfulness.

I hope there are more nights like these. <3

Indigo

OMGGGG.
You wouldn’t believe what just happened.
JiaYuan and I decided go on an adventure.
We went up to 8th floor.

Climbed up a pretty high ladder.
Lifted a heavy door.
AND SAW A REALLY GOOD VIEW of the sky.
If only we’d found it yesterday.
And saw the meteor shower!

Oh wells, that was fun..
Until we had to get back down.
And close the heavy door.
“BOOMZ”
Hahahahah!
So scary, so fun!

Going back there soon!
Oh rooftop I’m coming for you!! <3

A Cry

OH LORD OH LORD!!
Help me put my heart into fyp.
Help me to love my lecturers.
Help my alias to not crash.
Bless ditto, dear Lord, that it shall obey all my commands.

OH LORD OH LORD!!
Save me from my fyp misery.

OH LORD OH LORD!!

If there’s a colour for stupidity, I’m definitely feeling that.
I am… so darn tired… and stupid.

Just went down to cheers in the rain with jy only to take ages to pick snacks.
And realise that I had forgotten to bring money.
Joke.

AHHHHHH. FYP GET OUT OF MY LIFE!
