i love today. Dunno why. Maybe coz i had enough sleep. Maybe coz the weather was cooling and fresh. Or maybe, it was just the inner peace of God. :)
Project group work can be very much of a tricky business sometimes, especially when it comes to choosing who to work with. Selecting people from your clique might be the most convenient option but sometimes people whom you can get along very well, might not be the best people to do serious work with. Some might be lazy or sloppy in their work and being on very good terms with them might make it hard for you to be firmer with them. And some just possess different work frequency from you. Why work? Coz although you can talk and go crazy about practically anything rubbish under the sun, you just cant understand them when it comes to discussing serious "deep thinking" work. And they are just some who have just plain different working style from you.
Then there are those times when you have no choice but to do group work with people you never knew existed in the course or people you know them by face but never got to talk to them or know their name. Doing project with these people is like turning those traditional 1 toy "vending machine", where you never knew what they are going to give you. If you're lucky, you'll get enthu groupmates who seems more kan chiong then you with the project, but if you're not, then you'll get those that you rarely see even in lecture! Like i have one groupmate now...(shant say names here...lets call that person Hoola) Hoola hardly comes for lecture so when we have those last min project meetings, Hoola will be conveniently left out! And even during meetings, Hoola will jsut seat in a corner and hardly participate! Macham supervisor role sia!! haha...
Yes...choosing the right person to fit your working style is indeed difficult and sometimes, we might not even find that person! Hence, it will be better if we can be more accomodating and patient...understanding that not everyone has the same working styles and for that matter has the same priorities and commitments....but that of course it is easier said than done... Just imagine: in the future in our line of work when we have to work with colleagues that u cant clique with at all, or clients that change their mind every so often! So i guess this kind of thing: handling people and peers is something that we all have alot more to learn about..
oh one more thing before i end this post..Really glad that i went for Rev-up today. Felt so refreshed just listening to God's words and singing hymns of praise halfway during the mad rush of work and deadlines...Feel so blessed also to be able to enjoy real fellowship with the crusade people, talking to them about school work and encouraging each other not to give up and to have more faith! :) God just provides! :)
Oh yeah, really glad Weichen went for Rev-up today too. Thought she would reject me after telling me she havent study for the Research Methods test this Friday. All praise to Him who touched her heart and gave her that burden to turn up!
Anyway, Amy Lau's teaching about Moses today was a reminder to me that we always have thousand and one excuses to Not this and not do that but God ALWAYS have a response, a perfect answer to every single one of them, telling us why we should do it. Aint that powerful? Amen! :):)

:) It's great to be able to be be honest with oneself about the spiritual struggles. And thank God for speaking to you through others. May we remember that there is no limit to what He can do, regardless of how finite our abilities are. :) Jiayou!
