| Post-It Notes for ... |
|
|
| 23rd, Monday It's very important to stick to the recipe for studying Statistics: 4 Cheese Sticks + 2 Chocolate Cookies + 1 Fruity Sugus Sweet = Studying Stats Comfortably Don't make an immediate conclusion that I need to binge whenever I study. Those ingredients actually symbolize (in shape) all the Stationeries I need beside me as I review my Stats lecture notes at a place not my desk, so I don't need to run back and forth to grab them. (Running back and forth can be a bad distraction!) My four pens (red, blue, pencil and correction) are the cheese sticks, my ruler and calculator are the chocolate cookies, and my eraser is the Sugus sweet. They sound like the type of study snacks that I'd enjoy, too! Perhaps this will help me befriend my books! (Oh, what a nerd!) Hey! Just wanna make a heart more cheerful and a life more lovable! |
| 22rd, Sunday "That was a very good try", I say, in what I did today. |
| 24th, Tuesday I tried and I tried. I felt better as I am trying, but I am not there yet. What's next then? I guess, keep trying. |
| 25th, Wednesday I have to say I've never felt so engaged in life. I can't really give a concrete reason or explanation for the things I am doing right now. But one thing I need to remind myself so I won't forget tomorrow is that today I have been so blessed by Him: I know that I have goals to accomplish, earnest people to team up and work with, and realize that I can be of some use to Him. Simple things, but precious enough. I don't want to take them for granted. |
| 26th, Thursday Tonight I have written my own testimony down. |
| 27th, Friday Suddenly have an image in my mind. Don't know if it's because I have had too much "A Taste of Love" (a very recent Hong Kong TV Series). Life at Breakthrough - the camp - the concept of "co-creation" and "lives touching lives" feels and tastes like a steamy bowl of rice thoughtfully cooked with seasoned minced beef blanketed by the bright yoke of an egg on top... [ for an explanation, you can come and ask me; it's really hard to explain with a few words!] Then, I have a thought I wish I could share with a few of the pastors or counsellors I have met recently: I don't think we always need to mention the name of "Christ" for people to see Christ. It's like we don't wanna say "I love you" to someone until we have shown him/her love. |
| 28th, Saturday Three hours of sleep is not too little if you can see nine smiley faces of the Ambassador Team energizing you up even when you arrive BOM ten minutes late (8:10am!) for a team meeting. It's all about laughs, jokes, crazy ideas, "let's-do-it"'s , and surprises! (What do you want to write in the washrooms? huh?) We have the fun, but we also get things done! I lost my sleep, but gained a new friend who cares about me. Winnie, thanks for the ride and your kind words. I think you really have a beautiful heart of meekness and the gift of appreciation. ^ v ^' |
| 29th, Sunday There's something intriguing (or ordinary, depending on which way you are looking) about speaking through a microphone to an audience. No matter how distracted you have been, at that very second, you begin to hear it,and recognize, "Oh, my, it's my voice!" Perhaps, you feel a little embarrassed, but know that you must carry on and just tolerate the echoes for as long as your speech goes. Your self-consciousness comes into the scene so subtly yet powerfully that you will focus, you stop to stumble, and you glance the script carefully hoping that no one catches you reading off your notes ... ... bla ..bla .. bla ... To you, this means so much; yet, to the audience, this is but another Church announcement. |
| 30th, Monday Stats Test tomorrow. F*p, n-p-1 .... ANOVA Table ... the confidence interval is t times .... sigh. Then, I would rather wonder about how to build a test-statistic to falsify the null hypothesis: "There is no God." What would be the variables? This is not gonna be in the test, but I am just curious! |
| 31st, Tuesday Another month has passed by. That's been too much! I am ready for August. |
