i thank God for blessing me with the fever... really... and no, benjamin's head has not been burnt by the temperatures... but i just realised that my amazing God is really an amazing one.. if not for the fever, i would have maintained living my own egoistic and pragmatic lifestyle; if not for the fever, i would not have remembered that i need God to survive; if not for the fever, i would have carried on living life at full throttle and missed out on many of life's wonders... through the fever, i realised how weak i am, and how much i need my God to be with me, to be my mental and physical strength and to give me encouragement when i need it... it's after the fever, and the long rest, and a clear mind thereafter, that i saw what a bad state my relationships with friends are... and that's what i thank God for... for opening my eyes to see what i have been blinded all these while...

and good things don't come alone... today i received another letter from People's Association... well, i've received the Marine Parade Book Prize Award and will be treated to the "national day dinner" with Senior Minister Goh on 11 Aug... whoooooo... i don't know what's that... but well, dinner with someone like that is something quite fantastic... i think... lolx... and i guess my formal attire that i just bought for dining in might come in handy again... wahahaha...

but on the contrary, i'm still quite worried about my National Youth Achievement Awards stuff... i've received no news or whatsoever from them... and it's like the interview is from July to August??? and we're coming to the end of July with no news of it at all??? gRRR...
