Welcome to week 6!!!

Half of the semester will be gone S-O-O-N!!! Cool... 7 more weeks + 1 week reading week + 1.5 weeks of exams then my vacation will be coming. Woohoooo :)

Anyway, let me talk about things that have made me happy in these few days:
1. Faith Formation Talk given by Sr. Sandra from Verbum Dei. She taught us how to do Lectio Divina (literally means Divine Reading). Basically it consists of 6 steps: Lectio (reading), Meditatio (reflection), Oratio (Praying), Contempatio (contemplation) + Mission and Action. She inspired me to not feel discouraged with my ups and downs in praying using scriptures. Let's start all over again :)

Last Friday, after the talk, I met an old friend (a senior). I didn't recognize her initially *duhh*. It was such a great feeling to meet her again :)

2. Yesterday I walked from MacRitchie Reservoir to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. It was fun :):) MacRitchie is beautiful. Bee, my friend from Laos, also taught me new Thai vocabularies along the way. Hehehehe.

In the afternoon, there was a recollection at Opus Dei. I fell asleep in fhe first talk and meditation *duhhh* But overall, I think the recollection was very interesting. It was a great chance for me to reflect on my journey from India and back in Singapore, as a final year student.

3. Today I got a reply from the school that I'll be working with for my data collection, so yeay! This Thursday I will be able to send out questionnaires :) Thank God! My literature review has been progressing too. It is still messy, but I'm very grateful that I start writing some stuff at least :) So...tomorrow I must finish packing the questionnaires and writing my first draft.

4. I got my certificate for level 1 Climbing Course. Wait! It doesn't mean that I'm a good climber yet, hahaha, had to struggle A LOT today :(:( My leg was even trembling when I felt tired climbing up, but I enjoyed doing belay. It was interesting to learn different types of climbing and the equipments and I felt connected with Bee as buddy-climber-belayer. Hahaha. I believe she's very good in locking position because I lost balance a lot and 'fell', Thank God that Bee saved me for so many times!!

So yeahh..welcome to week 6!!
