37.6 degrees

today i had a fever ...not really a high one but it's a one that will burnt up my face and makes my face looks really red and of course hot.this is when i slowly picked myself up and get a thermometer.''beep'' the thermometer sounded and there i got 37.6 degrees.i started taking the medicine that the doctor had prescribe me previously when i am on fever .the medicine was pink in colour and was of course like normal medicine,bitter.
after taking the medicine,i felt lethargic and when i need to get up,i felt a little drowsy,as followed on the package that the medicine will cause drowsiness.i had also used numerous ice packs.i think i had used at least 5 of them .taking them out from the freezer,used them till they aren't cold,wash them and placed them in the freezer .the steps continued over and over again.until now ,the fever had finally subsided .although not sure that whether it will rise again...cause yesterday it started then subsided and today rise again...
i had to call my best friend(from primary school till now) called Eunice that i may not be able to meet her tomorrow...
Lord,bless me that i have a good health to go for drills and also offer my 100 percent to you.

An invitation to tiffany's house

on the 30th october 2009,i went to tiffany's house after much directions given by tiffany's mother.so venessa,xiuwei,angeline,,rebekah and me,went to tiffany's house.tiffany's house was huge and like mine,she had stairs too.hers even had a small garden near the living room.when i reached her house along with rebekah,her mother cooked us many delicious food.the dining table was filled with pastas,chicken wing,curry puff,chicken soup...
i still remember that no one started eating...because there is just so much to eat...and all looks so delicious.so tiffany says "start".haha like we are machines then need her permission to work...that's what venessa says.and so we started eating ...then like so filling.so after that ,tiffany's mum brought out the agar agar that tiffany made herself.the agar agar was green .but it was nice.her mum also brought out cakes...so we all got so full.later on ,after lunch venessa gave me a present and she left.so rebekah,tiffany,xiuwei and angeline gave me a surprise.not a small one but a big one.xiuwei started covering my eyes and tiffany brought out her violin and angeline started playing the piano.i was astonished.they were actually singing a birthday song for me .especially tiffany(she gave me a big fright!i never knew she could play the violin so well).then they both play the b'day song for me .then xiuwei and rebekah sing the song.haha then it was rebekah's turn we sang and played the song for her.haha ...after that i was really interested with the violin.i started learning how to play the b'day song from tiffany and rebekah.rebekah teached me how to read the notes and tiffany teached me how to how the bow.so i played with her.do you know something?at the end of the day,i learnt how to play half the b'day song on the violin.and tiffany's mum even wanted to give me a violin(cause tiffany had two violins).and before i leave her house with xiuwei,tiffany gave me a present.it was a cd from david archuleta.but i love the present.venessa also gave me a pencil case from myuk.i love it too! haha... so i really had a good day with all of my friends!!! haha...friends forever!!!

When you've prayed every prayer that you know how to pray.
Just remember the Lord will hear and the answer is on it's way.
Our God is able.
He is mighty.
He is faithful.
And He never sleeps,He never slumbers.
He never tires of hearing our prayer.
When we are weak
He becomes stronger. So rest in His love and cast all of your cares on Him.
Do you feel that the Lord has forgotten your need.
Just remember that God is always working in ways you cannot see
Our God is able.
He is mighty.
He is faithful.

so i hope this song will encourage every one who see this entry and lets learn to cast our cares upon our GOD in heaven.

first day of local service learning

On the first day of service learning,i went to clementi woods kindergarten to help out.the kids were really cute and independent.each of them placed their folders and waterbottles on the trolleys or trays that had their class name on it .then they proceed on to temperature taking .Me ,annajoy,piaomin and caryn then look around in the kindergarten.It was really big as compared to the last time when i studied in clementi woods kindergarten.today,i met many familiar faces .this includes my ex teachers,bus aunties and uncles.i kind of feel that time passed so quickly,just like a flash of light.recalling the past,i felt a little nostalgic about being a child.i think that the local service learning continue to inspire me to be a teacher.Although today i stayed in a room with my friends ,wrapping presents,designing the cards,i felt not just tired but also happy.it is because i get to work with my friends and share our views about being a kindergarten teacher.one of my friend said that it was cool to be a kindergarten teacher and i felt so too.so,although i am feeling tired i still felt worthwhile.really looking forward to interact with the childrens on thurs and fri.perhaps then i will be even more elated about the work i am doing and really be really inspired to be one.and i think this will help me to be motivated to be one.one of my good friend in gb ,rachel ,always say that i am going to be a teacher .because as you know,my name is edwina lau shi wen .she take the lau and my chinese name's "shi",then you add them together and you will get "laushi" and she decipher it as "laoshi".which means teacher in chinese.haha...so just continue to pray for me about my ambition to be a chinese teacher and that i may be able to do well for the following test after the wheel week.
