just watched a youtube video by Paul Washer-quote:

We are not saved just because we acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour,
Satan too, acknowledges Jesus Christ as Lord.

We need to live our life unlike the world, living a life of faith and constant repentance of our sins.

We do not compare our lives to other christians, we compare our lives to the bible, to see if we are walking in the right path.

wide path vs narrow path
good fruit vs bad fruit

can be found in Matthew 7

Are we living our lives as good fruits or bad fruits?
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

How am I different from the rest of the world?

Think about His love,
Think about His goodness
Think about His grace,
That has brought us through

For as high as the heavens above
so great is the measure of our Father's love
Great is the measure of our Father's love

office politics are amazing..
it's amazing how a boss can scold the crap out of the people under him for negligence, how they can sort of patch up and start laughing at each other's jokes after a while.. then talking behind each other's backs a while later..

it's become part of what i see everyday already, and sometimes it's kinda frustrating to hear them, and i get to hear both sides coz im just a temp staff there.

sometimes these can be avoided if ppl just use their brains and not have to follow strictly to the book, or give just a little grace.. hais.

2008-03-24T08:54:00.002+08:00

huahh.. i was just adding links to ppl's blogs.. and i was thinking what alphabet comes after 'L'.. the first alphabet that came to my mind was 'G'

wahhahaha. inside joke.

anyway.
holy week has just passed, i must say it's one of the craziest weekends this year for me
and the message has been the same throughout the week

Luke 9:24 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

Pastor Boon Chiau shared about being decisive, making right turns in life, sometimes even U-turns, when God encounters you. Just as Moses encountered God at the burning bush, we must be vigilant and be able to KNOW when God encounters us, and be ready to respond, and not let it pass by.

2008-03-17T09:12:00.002+08:00

leader's meeting last sat-

our generation's addicted to sugar
sugar makes food sweet, brings comfort to us when we eat.
however, cancer cells feed on sugar as well, one in three people in the world will get cancer in this generation.
cancer cells causes an organ to lose its functions
we must starve the cancer by cutting down on sugar

similarly, cancer in church refers to us being too self-centred, too comfortable with what we have,good friends, that we forget about our destiny in church
just like cancer, slowly different parts of the church will lose its functions.
we need to stop this cancer by cutting down on the "sugar", or the comforts in our lives, the comforts of this world
too much sugar makes a FAT christian. :)

NEW YEAR NEW POST!

2007 has come to an end !

Many friendships made !

Many mistakes made :(

Many lessons learnt !

Many encounters with God,

Many things appreciated!

2008 is gonna be different.

Struggling at the start,

but I'm determined to end it well !

oh well,
this year I'm gonna focus more on improving musically,
since im leaving hall,
im gonna start practising more of the piano at home :)
im gonna write and experiment more music :)
im gonna serve God better :)

this year I really really wanna see my hall friends know Jesus. yeah.

2007-12-02T21:51:00.001+08:00

woohhooo!
finally got down to writing after 2 months plus. haha. time really flies!

one whole semester of sch just zooooomed past! yikes..
as we all know, this year has been a year of transition, all of us moved on to a new school, a new environment, new modules to take, everyone has been struggling to adapt to the change, but I guess one thing gd abt KY is that we're able to share our struggles with friends who are going through the same thing, or have already been there done that.

For myself, I never knew that computing would be so difficult, so fast paced and almost impossible to keep up.. thought it would be really interesting to discover how, for example, a washing machine works with computer programming.. but. i guess it's a little off my expectations..

Praying that God would give me the opportunity to transfer to faculty of arts, where i'll be given a wider selection of courses to choose from.. maybe psychology.

And as you guys know, I've been staying in eusoff hall since sch started. Gone through many ups and downs over here, mostly ups :) found a group of friends who were in my orientation group in eusoff :)
coming from different backgrounds, different interests, from different faculties, it's amazing how we can all click and hang out and do everything together in hall..

I guess it's God's doing, that He put me into this bunch of fun ppl, and it's God's plan and purpose for me to spend time wif these wacky ppl :) where else can anyone get this opportunity, but in hall stay.

praying that God will use me mightily in eusoff, showing others how I should live my life with a purpose, which is gonnna be tough.

yup. anyway im still in the midst of exams.. gonna end in 3 days time! woohoo!
this whole dec would be a busy one for me, especially in eusoff hall.. involved in the making of the background sets for the coming dance production next year jan..
im thinking of taking this dec break to maybe learn a bit of french, and read up on psychology, to prepare me for next semester..

dun think i'll be blogging anytime soon le..

p.s. THANKS PPL FOR MAKING MY 21ST A SPECIAL ONE :)

2007-09-27T10:06:00.000+08:00

this one week has passed really really fast..
it's already thursday!

really thank God for this one week to take a breather from sch.
wish it could have been longer though..

God taught us abt greatness in JYC

i shouldnt be tied down by my studies, that's not called greatness.
God I ask for strength to do MORE, much more than just studying. I want to start with a smile everyday, and not dread waking up for sch, but start each new day with a gd note.

reg just got her new keyboard which she has been waiting for years.. :)
she has something to thank God for :)
amazed by how God provides !

2007-09-19T00:02:00.000+08:00

JYC Anniversary :)

Project work's coming up :( more and more tutorials piling up! im like super high after just conquering one at a time. haiz. tests coming up. one week break next week.. really dunno where to start studying.

2007-09-12T12:54:00.000+08:00

really thank God for everything this week!
thank you Daddy for helping me to organise my stuff real well and not let anything clash!

This whole week has been packed with activities, but it would have been a disaster if everything fell on the same day! but God planned it in such a way that there's an activity a day!

thank you Daddy for taking away my stress :)
for giving me laundry to do so that I have more quiet time with you and to think things through carefully

thank you Daddy for blessing me with a band to improve my skills musically :)
love my band !

AND

2007-09-10T09:50:00.000+08:00

super packed week coming up

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

God I lift the stress of school, my relationships with my friends in your hands.

God help me to make honourable choices.

a little update abt what's coming up this week for me .

tonight there's gonna be project work meeting, then hall christian fellowship, then Dinner and dance meeting.

tmr there's gonna be a math test. boo.
probably jyc meeting at night.

wed's gonna be some investiture dinner for the hall committee members

thur's band practice

and fri's cell.

lots of tutorials and deadlines.
yikes

2007-09-05T23:43:00.000+08:00

just came back from eusoff hall christian fellowship :)
great bunch of people who are passionate about God!
the leader was sharing on how his purpose, or rather God's purpose for him in eusoff is for the guys staying at his level to know Jesus.

really inspiring.

how God has put me in eusoff for a purpose :)

2007-08-31T01:01:00.000+08:00

God has been great this week :)
Tutorials just started this week, and I've successfully conquered one week of it.
So many activities throughout the week, interblock games, band meetings, interviews... thank God for giving me a good night sleep everyday :)

another thing to thank God for was giving me the opportunity to join the Eusoff main band, Second Nature. I hope that through this opportunity, I would be able to pick up some new skills from playing as a band, and apply it in church ? maybe. hopefully. haha

and thank God for enrolling me into the cca Exxon Mobil. Basically it's a publicity CCA which organises Campus Concerts for NUS. From this CCA, hopefully I'll learn some publicity skills as well :)

Next step for me is to sign up for Eusoff Expedition, as a member. It's like a mission trip kinda thing, going to Cambodia to do community work i think.. oh well.. see how God leads me.

2007-08-24T13:10:00.000+08:00

i went for eusoff band auditions ytd..
went really unprepared..
was auditioning for keyboards and vocals..

went there wif my drummer friend..

i was super super uber nervous.. didnt know what to expect, and i was gonna play "HOME" by Chris Daughtry, a piece which I havent really played on keyboard b4.. but i was prepared to improvise on the spot.. coz i couldnt think of any other piece to play on keyboard..

when i stepped into the band room, i was super shocked to see so many auditioners, those from the current eusoff band, and they are REALLY GOOD.. oh well.. as expected, i was too nervous to play anything for sane ppl to hear.. i planned to sing and play keyboard simultaneously,.. but ended up either singing acapella or playing without singing.. super kanchiong i tell u..

anyway they were really nice ppl, thank God, they guided me through the audition, one guy even played the guitar so that i can do fill-ins and just play a bit here and there.

then they allowed me to use the guitar to play HOME instead.. but my voice was cracky and like a broken radio.. it was softer than the guitar playing too.. i thought to myself.. "GG" i wont make it..

BUT

Amazingly, through God's grace, I saw the results today, and i was one of the few successful ppl. first meeting's next wed :) cant wait.. see what God has in store for me :)

2007-08-20T14:50:00.000+08:00

had a great time at church :)
i must say that going to church really revitalises me,
how meeting God is so incredible, and how He's able to remove my stress and anxiety when I come into His presence
really happy to see my friends who love God as well :)
had a great time of jamming, trying out different instruments, killing everyone wif my horrid singing as well haha.
then it was Big Hooha appreciation dinner, wah the food rocks! i guess Big Hooha wouldn't be a success without God!

it was my lil bro's bday ytd too! he's not so lil anymore
i hope he will remember and treasure the love he gets from everyone, and his new ipod haha

Timmy in cast, writing words of love with great difficulty haha

on our bus journey home after church with ben and may, the fellow westies :)
can't rem how many countless cam-whoring bus trips we have. haha

remember when we were young and we used to enjoy sitting on these automated machines which cost 10cents or 20cents.. i saw a few of those in vivo. omg.. it's $1 now. haha. and it's not bcoz of GST..

oh well.
going to watch rush hour 3 wif the thurs gang later :)
can't wait!

2007-08-16T22:47:00.000+08:00

i passed my english test :) thank God!

where everyone sits in a circle, face to the left, and lie on each others laps
then the chairs under us will slowly be pulled away one by one... see how long we can last in that position.. kinda tiring actually haha..

i miss these ppl :(

2007-07-29T23:51:00.000+08:00

At the village we went to

Shagged after the trip to the village, after drinking yak butter tea and yak cheese

The Lefties :) James, Me, Eileen :)

Circus!
basically we paid like S$1.50 for tickets to the circus
the atmosphere was smoky and dark, like in the clubs
first 20 mins of the show was simple acrobatics by animals such as bear, lion, horse, monkeys, but the way they were treated was quite painful to see.
anyway.. the rest of the show was done by the chinese acrobats.. was relieved to see really amazing stunts..
this small girl could twist and bend her limbs and chest any way she likes, can even smell her butt hahaha.. no pictures though

Camel at the circus,

Airport wif a great view

They served this bowl in a restaurant -.-

Great view from the plane.

Anyway i got back my luggage on the 3rd day :) and i really enjoyed my trip :) by far the best this year

2007-07-10T07:25:00.000+08:00

there's wi-fi in the place we're staying at right now in china :)found some time to blog abt my trip so far :)

it has been an exciting one so far, especially for me ..

took silkair flight MI912 to kunming, a 4 hrs flight.
when it got there, the weather was like WHOA! so much cooler than singapore! not too hot not too cold..
just for the record, 4 of us carried about 12 bags + 2 boxes in total.. didnt think it was possible, but miraculously we managed.
we were waiting for or bags at the conveyor belt.. one by one our bags came out.. after a while, the bags stopped coming.. everyone got their bags.. but MINE DIDNT COME OUT! AHHH! haha.. later on, we found out that my bag was still in Singapore due to some glitch. oh well.. i can only get my bag on tues.. kinda a new experience to survive without any extra clothes, toiletries, bible.. had to buy new underwear hahaha. and the brand was ANUO.. HAHAHHAHAAH! oh well.

we walked around, i bought a backpack for S$30 :) the rest bought jackets for a cheap price too! after shopping, we got to the bus station ready for a long bus trip to zd. it was a sleeper bus, everyone had their own beds throughout the trip. the beds were like half the size of a single bed. aha.. it was supposed to be a 12 hr bus ride.. but the bus broke down after like 8 hrs.. took 4 hrs to repair it.. so we ended up having 16 hrs of bus journey.. but i got to sleep like 14 hrs of the 16.. hahhahhaa..

anyway we finally got to the lodge. it's a really really beautiful and comfortable place.. the food is great! carol's desserts are the best! she has two really beautiful golden retrievers as well! shall upload the photos when i get back!

now waiting for my luggage to return.. then we shall go hiking up in the mountains hehe :)

oh btw, we are at an altitude of abt 3000feet? not sure.. but I'm breathless by just walking up a flight of steps.. need to adjust haha.. other interesting stuff.. Ian bought 35 Dvds when we got to the dvd shop on the first day.. stunned. ; china's bubble tea is nice :) and cheap..

i really miss you guys

2007-07-04T00:59:00.000+08:00

just a few more grp photos from orientation camp..

just came back from our grp outing at settlers.. ended up playing cranium haha..

for those who do not know, i'll be flying off to China this sunday morning :) 10 days of holiday :) looking forward to the good weather over there :)

2007-06-29T09:29:00.000+08:00

many things to thank God for:

just found out i had to do an english entrance exam into NUS because of my lousy GP grade, heard from my friend that it was on the 17th July, and I would be in China from the 8th to the 17th.. i panicked.. Joel had already bought the tickets. then i read the orientation package.. found out the actual date is on the 19th july :) thank God

thank God that I got into Eusoff Hall
and the hall orientation camp is from the 30th July to 3 Aug.. I wont miss it either!

thank God for a new group of friends in computing that I can relate to, that I can joke with and really speak in the same frequency. pray that I'll be able to bring them to church

2007-06-29T00:06:00.000+08:00

just came back from a very tiring computing orientation camp, and I must say I've enjoyed myself alot :) too tired to elaborate on the camp, so i'll describe it briefly

we dressed our OGL up as a female barbarian using only what we could find on the dinner table (Napkins x 20, flower vase)

this is jiahui, the first person i talked to in my grp, looks very ahbeng, but very soft hearted and nice guy haha

the pretty girl in my group :):)

just came back from a trip to Krabi with Jason and Jiahao, I must say I had a great time over there, jam packed with activities! God was there with us throughout the trip, and he brought out the sun even though it was the rainy season over at Thailand :)

I shall use pictures to elaborate on the trip

This is where we stayed for the first night. It's a cheap backpackers lodge, the room's hot and stuffy, with rock hard beds, we didn't sleep well on our first night, but I guess we have to sacrifice a bit with the low budget we have

This is Krabi Town, where we stayed overnight. We were waiting for a van which would bring us to the beach resort where we would stay for the next 3 nights.

This is the little tourist spot at Ao Nang beach, where we pretty much had our meals for the 3 days we had at Ao Nang beach.

The next 2 photos are some hilarious wordings found at the shops at Ao Nang beach..
A pharmacist is a druggist in thailand?!
What on earth.. SIMILAN islands.. we really laughed till we penged. if u dun understand hokkien too bad for u haha

there's a restrictive timing for purchase of alcohol in krabi!?

the resort we stayed in

this resort gave us the feeling of serenity, the feeling of escape from the outside world

waiting for our speedboat to take us to different islands to snorkel :)

the speedboat ride itself was awesome man..together with the choppy waves, itwas one hell of a ride..see how messed up our hair was.. haha

we snorkelled near caves, many many fishes :) we got to bring our bread down to feed the fishes by hand even! rocks :)

oh my mouthpiece was dropping sliding off the mask and i didnt realise it until after posing for a shot, then the tour guide asked me where my mouthpiece was.. then i was like.. "CRAPPPPP, IT's underwater.. and it's really deep".. then she went.. "nvm.. pay me TWO HUNDRED BAHT".. then my heart sank. urgh. yucks. 200 baht for a mouthpiece. had to pay her in the end though for being careless

as you can see from this pic, my mouthpiece is almost falling off..

me smiling away without a clue that my mouthpiece has sunk underwater

then we headed to Maya Bay, a very nice cove with huge waves, but it was overcrowded with ppl, so we just went trigger happy at the beach. jiahao and I were observing how different ppl from different countries have different poses in front of a camera.
there were these 2 girls from China posing like they were the cutest bunnies on earth with peace signs and twists and bloating their face up to look like bunnies.

the korean men on the beach were carrying their spouses on their shoulders to pose for the camera. EVERY KOREAN MAN was doing it.. no matter how huge the Korean women were.

we singaporeans will just pose wif a sian face or retarded look. hur hur

the next day we took a small boat to Railay Island
I must say it has the nicest beach in Krabi.
We just spent the whole day swimming, throwing a mini rugby ball around, exploring the remnants of the tsunami that hit the islands,building sand structures, appreciating the marine life we found, enjoying the sun :)

we did a few nice shots against the beautiful sunset :)

the thai ronald mcdonalds

last day was at rock climbing :) then it was off to Singapore. home sweet home.

2007-05-14T10:26:00.000+08:00

just a few photos from my phone

pui's bday :)

joel doing his thing

ian wong playing around with the props during big hooha meeting. everyone was tired including him

2007-05-13T20:55:00.000+08:00

going off to Krabi with Jiahao and Jason tmr night! hope that it's gonna be a really fun trip and the weather will be good!

this week has been really great for me :) thank God.

really really relieved that I've finally stopped work, got more time and space to do my own stuff in the morning.. especially exercising

so many hilarious stuff happened this week

sam was eating oyster omelette on thurs..
i hated oyster, but i wanted to try some of the omelette..
so there was this gooey stuff on the egg, then i asked her.. is that oyster???
she was like.. no la.. that's not oyster, that's kueh..
then i said " Huh.. where got kueh in oyster omelette "
then she said got wad.. then why they call it char kway teow.. there's kway in char kway teow wad..

then i burst out laughing

mother's day today
planned a treasure hunt for mom.. told tany that i better give easy clues.. if not we wont be able to reach church on time if she cant figure out the clues haha..

so the first clue was like
roses are red
violets are blue
sugar is sweet
as sweet as you..

and my mom went straight to the flower basket.. when the next clue was at the sugar box.
and just so happens.. my present was hidden in the flower basket. and it's like the final place to go.. so she just tycoly jumped from first clue to final spot. so i stopped her in time.

then the second clue was
roses are red
violets are blue
keys are in two colours
neither red nor blue

and she went straight to the key box.. the clue's not there.. durh
then i asked her to think out of the box..
then she was like.. er.. turkey? our house got turkey meh..
-.-
anyway.. the clue was supposed to lead to the piano. black and white keys. hur hur.
and from the piano she finally got to the flower box.
at least she was happy :)

and last hilarious thing of the week
after captain's ball today
we played basketball, guys vs girls
guy team : tany, me , julian
girl team : sam, miao, nicole , may, kuan yin for a while

the stake of the game was quite high. so we played our hearts out. we were losing at the later part of the game, down by 2 points, and the girls had their match point.. but with the stake so high, we persevered and guarded the ball wif our lives.. hahahaa.. and we won 11-10 !!! WAHHAHA! phew
so sam and miao u noe what to do
hahahaha

anyway.. gonna miss you guys man.
gonna miss my class outing too :(

haven't been thinking straight for the past few days...

can feel symptoms of recovery today haha...

I think my crankiness was due to my loss of many things over the past few days...

here goes:

Lost my book to my form teacher as I was reading during chapel.

Lost my water bottle somewhere in school.

Lost my will to study

Lost my mind

Lost my sense of direction

Lost my grip of my stuff such as my violin, music stand, mel's plastic cups?! haha..

Lost my balance coz of the loss of strength in my legs...

THE ONLY THING I HAVEN'T LOST IS MY WEIGHT! WHY!? SO UNFAIR :(

oh well...

2007-05-09T17:27:00.000+08:00

2007-05-08T10:02:00.000+08:00

Spiderman 3 rocks! It wasn't possible without tany and Ian Wong planning.. and I must say it's the largest movie group I've been with in my entire life.. haha.. amazingly we got tickets for 33 people..

Many new stuff coming up for me!

For a start, I'm finally leaving my job after 6 months, woohoO! really looking forward to waking up later every morning! Probably leaving this friday :)

Then, hopefully, I'll be going to Thailand for holiday wif a few ycers next week :) hope everything runs smoothly :)

mm.. I'll be going for a teeny lil minor surgery to remove a cyst from my hand, probably after I return from Thailand. pray that everything will turn out well :)

hmm.. more bdays coming up hur. haha.

still thinking of whether to commit to a basketball mission trip on 11-23 June.
I'll have NUS orientation from 25-29 June, then Big Hooha on the 30th.. busy busy june man! haha.

God I lay everything in your hands.

2007-05-05T01:06:00.000+08:00

had a wonderful time at cell today,
we split up into guys and girls.
i love having an all guys session, everyone's more open

anyway joel shared about love in relationships,
about the difference between how a guy and girl responds with love,
how a guy will think logically most of the time while the girl will be led by their emotions, almost all the time.. heh..
how as a guy, we must learn to give in and be the FIRST to apologise
how as a guy, we must not slam the phone or walk away or do these kinda stupid stuff, but face the situation and apologise..
i remember doing all these stupid things last time.. hur hur

i learnt much much more, but can't seem to remember now. hur hur. so glad to always get to learn life skills such as this in church

2007-05-02T10:20:00.000+08:00

im in love with this video.
not the saxophonist but her skills man.. woots.

anyway lots of sports these past few days.
captain's ball, bowling, badminton, basketball, pool, swimming

but we always end up eating so much after exercising

body's breaking down already
sam says I have a body of an old man.

2007-04-27T09:37:00.000+08:00

my office just got this new gadget, which i think it's totally cool.

it's a thermometer hur hur.

but this thermometer takes a measurement at one spot.

it takes the temperature of the point the laser falls on..
and it costs a few hundred bucks
haha..

oh ive got some photos from Pulau Dayang from a friend, enjoy.

clear water

the hunks and the pui pui me

our last few steps on Pulau Dayang jetty. sob

2007-04-26T20:41:00.000+08:00

my lovely dyed locks are gone.

the hairdresser murdered them.

she took 45 mins to complete her mission.

i thought the longer she took to cut my hair, the nicer the outcome

NO.WRONG.

the longer she took, the more mistakes she made.

now i really wanna go Pulau Dayang le. for a week. for my hair to grow back.hurhur..

2007-04-25T17:00:00.000+08:00

went to my uncle's house last night.

i think my room will be complete wif a plasma tv.

i dunno what to blog.
squeezing random thoughts out of my brain.
going for jyc meeting later.

i suddenly lost interest in everything else but Heroes and 24.

i still miss Pulau Dayang.
i wanna take my advanced diving course and see baracudas and stingrays and moray eels.

i want my saxophone :(

i need a haircut :(

i need to lose weight without exercising :(

2007-04-24T09:16:00.000+08:00

yesterday, monday 23 April 9pm was supposed to be the release of Heroes episode 19.. silly me waited and waited the whole day.. wondering why the episode wasn't released yet..

checked at night when i got home.. still no heroes episode 19.. utterly disappointed.

then when i woke up today.. i realised. STUPID ME.

the time given was US time.. AHHH.. that means.. 23 April 9pm (US) = 24 April 10am (singapore)

ahhhhhhhhhhhh..

today that episode better be released..

2007-04-23T10:21:00.000+08:00

just came back from my diving trip! i had a blast of time over there, all of us were reluctant to go home :( one guy even said that we should go to sentosa today to slowly recuperate to prevent any "beach lag".. hur hur..

anyway i shall try to recollect all the significant events that happened during the trip, limited to my short term memory with apologies, wont be getting the pictures anytime soon

day 1: Friday, 20th April

-took leave
-went shopping wif may and lionel
-went to church and had a great time jamming, switching among the different instruments
-totally forgot about dinner, rushed down to raffles city when joses called and packed burger king
-rushed down to SRC after tt, and to our surprise, everyone else was late
-the van came at 830pm, instead of 7pm. we were way behind schedule

-bus journey abt 3 hrs, reached a town called Mersing at approx 12MN
-took a 3 1/2 hr boat ride to Pulau Dayang
-didnt manage to catch any sleep
-just gazing at God's creation up above, I could see a gazillion stars out at sea, it was just too amazing le..
-when we reached Pulau Dayang, i was STUNNED.
-the water there was so uber clear, it was clearer than some swimming pools here in Singapore..
-saw so many colourful fishes from the boat already, and I knew something great was in store for us pretty soon

Day 2: Saturday,21st April

-We checked in at 430am, caught some sleep, woke up at 830am for breakfast.
-There were like at least 50 divers waiting for their 1st dive..
-Saw 2 cute NTU girls.. hehe
-Anyway proceeded to our first dive site
-Was really disappointed coz the dive site we went to had not so gd visibility due to the dead corals there.. we only got down to 7m and did basic skills..didnt see much

-went back to shore for lunch, then it was back to the boat for the 2nd dive
-supposed to dive at this other island, Pulau Lang, but when we got there, the boat suddenly veered out into the open sea.. everyone was wondering what happened, why aren't we stopping to jump off for the dive.. we travelled out into the open sea for like another 15 mins.. when we saw this Orange sausage balloon sticking out of the sea. Apparently the captain of the boat spotted the orange balloon and went to check it out.. there were 4 divers floating there, waiting to be rescued.. haha.. scary man.. the current pulled them out into sea like a few kilometres away..thank God they were spotted!
-then we went back to do our 2nd dive, this time we got down to 18m.. saw so many funny looking fishes, too many to describe.. we played wif a sea cucumber as well haha.. didnt noe sea cucumbers could move on their own until that day.. they have this spout at the back to blow air out to move.. came face to face wif sea urchins too.. scary. they were huge spike balls haha..

-after the 2nd dive, we headed back to wait for dinner, there were ppl playing volleyball at the beach, 5 of us decided to challenge them haha.. many girls watching, so we played as if we were pros hahaha.. but it was really fun :)
-then we played beach soccer wif the locals! super fun la, the sand at the beach was so soft, it was quite hard to run on it haha.. some guys said that they would rather play soccer than dive.. hur hur..
-i think the highlight of Day 2 was dinner
-As I joined this dive through Singapore Recreation Club, we had special treatment ahhaa.. the club provided extra stuff for dinner.. like this HUGE FISH that tasted like chicken.. and... *drumroll*.. a few hundred HUGE PRAWNS that tasted like heaven... and there were approx 20 of us? each of us ate like.. 10 or more huge prawns.. and we couldnt finish them..
-imagine.. we ended up playing the zhong ji mi ma game to clear the prawns, the person who guessed the number had to eat it.. hahaa.. then we went on to grosser stuff like parts of the fish.. i got the worst deal.. i had to eat this huge fish eye which tasted like liver+brain+intestines.. but really had a great time bonding wif the other divers..

Day 3: Sunday, 22nd April

-woke up at 630am for the 3rd dive
-we did navigation skills, used a compass to find our way around underwater..
-we saw this really HUGE FISH! it's called the parrot fish.. it had this huge hump on it's forehead.. and it's beak is like that of a parrot... super funny slow moving fish..

parrot fish looks like tt above, but it's the size of a fridge

-on the 4th dive we had our leisure dive ... checked out the whole Dayang Bay underwater for an hour! saw sea turtles! many schools of fish! exotic man! so tempted to ride on one of the turtles hehe..
-set off for Singapore after lunch.. so sad.
-oh the 2 NTU girls were wearing a Brazil and Argentina singlet..
-then the guys were like saying "eh u support Brazil or Argentina?" hahaha..

anyway. thank God for the safety of all the divers! many scary things happened during the dive, like.. on the 2nd dive, when i jumped in from the boat, my oxygen tank came out.. hur hur.. my friend's weight belt fell into the bottom of the sea after he jumped off too.. drank a lot of sea water too..underwater.. which wasnt pleasant..

pulled this picture of Pulau Dayang from the net

2007-04-17T16:57:00.000+08:00

why we should never get clones for hello kitty

got this from Engrish.com

2007-04-17T09:01:00.000+08:00

sam... we all agreed... ur gonna get a box of vitamin C and a crate of bananas for ur bday.dun complain

anyway, ytd had my first pool dive at SRC, first time handling the scuba gear. i must say it's not as easy as i thought it would be.
firstly, the whole set of gear is ultra heavy, like 30kg-40kg..
i had difficulty breathing with the regulator, too used to breathing through my nose haha. stupid idiot me almost died breathing in water through my nose.
and breathing in compressed air is so uncomfortable.. it makes ur throat really dry and u'll have to swallow saliva constantly.

we did some skills like how to clear water from the regulator underwater, how to remove water that entered the mask.. i think im like one of the few with problems clearing the mask hahaha.. ultra noob. and i was holding my pee in throughout the lesson.. plus breathing in compressed air, i couldnt think straight.

the class ended at eleven.. my goodness. tonight's gonna be round two.. AHHH! sounds torturous hahaha.. but......
the feeling of diving is super shiok i must say, after taking away the negative points above.. the feeling of staying underwater and frolicking around haha.. it almost feels like flying.

anyway, i called yamaha ytd.. they are charging individual saxophone classes at 95 bucks for 4 lessons, half an hour each. gonna pray abt it b4 i go for it.. still open to other sources! but at yamaha they provide u wif a saxophone during the classes, so it's a gd place to start and discover the sexyness of the saxophone hurhur..

2007-04-16T10:38:00.000+08:00

busy week ahead..
apart from work, i'm gonna have dive lessons at SRC swimming pool tonight and tues night..
going for NUS medical checkup on wed, then diving theory test at night.
thurs work
fri taking leave :):)
going for a diving trip to Pulau Dayang, leaving Singapore Friday Night.. will be back on Sunday night..

i think travelling to Pulau Dayang (Island West of Malaysia), takes up most of the time in the 3 day trip..
i think the itinerary for Fri's like:
leave Singapore 8pm,
reach Pulau Dayang 330am
Check in and settle down 5am
Wake up at 8am for breakfast

super xiong man..

last fri at cell, the guys were having a great time sharing abt what God's doing in our lives recently. Ian and Joel were both pouring their hearts out on how they felt that their lives were wasted away, not being able to be really really good at ONE thing.. and they encouraged and urged us to pick up something we r passionate about.. it could be anything.. a sport, musical instrument, other hobbies, skills... some wanted to pursue graphic design skills, animation skills, even general knowledge.
for me.. it's my saxophone passion again haha.. gonna be expensive, gonna be really difficult and time consuming.. but worth it :)
at least there's a goal for me to look towards, a target for me to set,
at 30 years of age, I wanna be good enough to perform on stage, good enough to worship God wif the instrument, good enough to be able to influence others who have this similar passion to pursue it.

anyway, hopefully, i will be planning a trip to hk somewhere during the 1st 2 weeks of may.. then end may, i think i'll finally stop working.

june-
-help out in the many church camps coming up
-sam's bday hahahahaha..
-detailed exercise regime to prepare for IPPT
-concentrate on saxophone

july-
slack and prepare for uni muahahaha

2007-04-13T17:08:00.000+08:00

i just realised.. 1st May = Labour day = Public Holiday = Outing!!

Let's plan something!! haha.

And i just heard that my company's gonna plan a Sentosa outing.. Wahaha! and I did not even need to think to give them my reply on whether i would be following them.. No thanks.

Haha.. going sentosa with ppl my dad's age will be quite an experience, but I would rather stay at home :)

2007-04-12T10:12:00.000+08:00

ANDY's GONE FOR THREE WEEKS

boohoo..

oh well, all guys go through this phase

anyway, have been going for diving theory classes for the past 2 days.. i must say i have mixed feelings abt going for the dives next week haha.. tts because they show every possible danger/accident u can have in diving through the videos.. and it's a really tedious, disciplined sport.
the only thing tt im looking forward to is the marine life underwater, and the sat night bbq buffet hahahaa.. i dun think i'll enjoy lugging the heavy oxygen tank around :(

there's gonna be swimming pool dives next monday and tues, and a theory exam next wed.. there goes my weeknights again, and i'm gonna be missing bighooha and jyc meetings, gonna be missing cell and yc next sunday too..
pray that I won't lose focus on God

anyway here's a pic from sentosa last week :)

2007-04-11T08:58:00.000+08:00

had a really crazy dream last night.. which seemed really familiar.. i think i dreamt of it a few years ago..

anyway.. in this dream, i was at this condo wif my "supposed gf" in the dream, and the whole dream is abt being chased by this huge flying creature..
in the dream, i could do things like dropping from 10th storey to the 1st using the balcony railings and dropping off one storey at the time.. felt quite gd actually hahaha.. like some superhero

i think both of us were being chased in the whole dream, many near deaths, she almost got caught, then at the last part, both of us were separated or something liddat.. can't really rem. haha..

i really didn't wanna wake up from this dream, no matter how scary it was, coz God finally put her in my dreams after so long, ahahhaa.. if my mom didnt pull me out of my bed, i would have missed work today

hehe..

and this dream reminded me of the song by Enrique iglesias
rem tany "I could be your hero babe"

hahahha..

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

You are feeling very disillusioned at this time and you feel that you are being left out of things. You know - or you think you know - what you want, but you seem unable to exert the effort to achieve your objectives. As a consequence, you are feeling left out and neglected. You would like to be afforded greater security and fewer problems.

Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.

You are an emotional, sincere and impressionable individual experiencing frustration and unnecessary stress. You are carried away by other people's enthusiasm and looking for that idealised relationship, be it in a business or personal situation, which you are able to share with a mutual depth of understanding. You have lowered your defences in the past and you have been hurt, so you are now extremely wary of being exploited. You are still ready to trust people on the condition that they are prepared to offer you proof of their sincerity.

You are inclined to be too trusting and you feel that you need to be on your guard against the possibility that your endeavours and actions may be misunderstood. Too often you have been taken advantage of and you have been mentally abused. Now you are seeking a relationship which can provide peace of mind, where you can be yourself and not have the need to put on a false front.

i have just gone through a week of non-stop fun-filled activities!

wed's jyc meeting was great :) so many ideas pouring in from everyone, really excited on what's ahead for jyc in the next few months! learn new characters in the bible, jyc camp! woohoO!

maundy thurs:
decided to take a day's off from work
met up wif benw during his lunch hour, went for lunch and shopping wif pangmeimei.. although i didnt manage to find anything to my fancy (my polo tee shop at far east disappeared :( ), but it was still a great time smelling the air of orchard again.. and.. may and I saw this really really really really really really pretty girl with really really really big eyes! chinese version of mandy moore? i dunno.. hahha. but it was hilarious how we walked past the shop she was in like 3 times hehe just to get a glimpse of her!! hehe..
anyway met up wif the east latecomers a few hours later.. and we headed down to meet sharon, then to church for maundy thurs, this year's really different from the other maundy thurs services! got to walk through the events/choices/feelings Jesus went through before He was crucified and risen again..

fri:
woke up early as it was a day at SENTOSA! woohoo! was really looking forward to a tanning session! hahaa.. thanks Sam for organising! soccer/volleyball/ultimate frisbee/catching up wif ppl/free beehoon - priceless

headed down to hv nydc for lapz surprise bday dinner at night! lionel and I were totally shagged out by then.. haha.. but it was great catching up wif my previous cell grp mates :)

sat:
woke up late and stoned at home pretty much
headed down to church at night for a stayover

SUPER FUN STAYOVER!
boggle/bridge were starters
the highlight was CRANIUM TURBO! it was like so much more fun than the times I played at bintan.. i guess playing wif a grp of much younger ppl just made it easier for everyone to let loose and go crazy haha.. especially the charades portion of the game! plus the puppets! woots!
and i just realised how a mere cockroach can cause a person wif a sprained ankle to run, and 2 people to scream like there's no tmr.. and a few others cramping with laughter.. i will never forget that night.. hehe

downside of the stayover was the lack of sleep, i dun think anyone slept well that night

sun: we woke up at 5am to set up the 7th floor for sunrise service
tired and sleepy, we still managed to set up the place early, everyone's doing their part to serve God no matter how tough it can become

went for macs breakfast after sunrise service.. i think i can still remember the menacing look from yingnuo when i asked her at the cashier how come she wasn't having the happy meal.. hahaha... and andy was going on and on abt wanting to have hotdog meal at macs -.- andy without sleep

prayed for andy after easter service :) another person going to serve the country, another person losing his hair, another person with a new journey ahead of him! TAKE CARE ANDY! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU BOTAK WITH DARK GLASSES! hurhur

captain's ball was really great too, as there were fewer ppl present, we were able to work out the control of the game as a team, which was what we needed finally.

another tiring week ahead for me
gonna attend diving classes on tues to thurs nights
going diving next weekend :):):):) cant wait!

What does your handwriting say about YOU?

The results of your analysis say:

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones.
You are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.

my dream and target for myself by 30 years old:
to master the saxophone instrument and perform as a soloist.
God please help me to fulfill this dream

ive got 10 years :) gotta start soon! haha.. an alto sax's gonna cost more than 1k..
need to find a saxophone teacher too..

i wonder whether it will end up like my piano, violin , guitar..
nv really mastered any of them, never really liked practising them, lost interest very quickly.
i love performing in the orchestra though. i wonder what it would be like standing on the stage wif a supporting band, blowing the crowd away wif my saxophone skills, if i get ever get to that stage

wah i really cant stand the flies at my office, they keep coming and coming after i keep killing and smashing them, the flies at my office are not afraid to die, the only place they hover is anywhere around me, into my ear, my nose even, into my shirt... and the insecticide sprays dun work on them.. argh..

haha anyway last night i slept really early.. like 11pm.. i was asleep the instant my head touched the pillow.. then after i heard my phone ringing.. thought it was my alarm.. scrambled to the phone and it was an unknown number calling.. i picked it up, half awake..i really cant rem what the person on the other line said.. i was still zombified, but it sounded really official.. like "Some insurance company, or some police call, or some salesman, or something.. i really cant rem.. then at the end of that super serious statement made that guy.. i heard the name.. mr andy lee.."ARGH.. this andy.. made a prank call.. while i was sleeping haha.. but i think i had no reaction.. have to ask andy, i think when i heard Mr Andy Lee, i was like uh huh.. can i talk to u later, i wanna sleep a while more.. or something liddat.. hahahaa.. i thought it was 6am or something liddat already.. coz i felt like i was sleeping super long already, then i checked my phone clock.. ARGH.. it was still 12am.. hahahaa..

andy by the time u read this.. i think i wud have killed you already.. hur hur

had a really tiring weekend with minimal sleep

sat had to wake up early for a soccer match, as expected, i wasn't fit for the match, our opponents were much faster and fitter than most of us.. i'll need an exercise regime soon! something's seriously wrong wif the weather, the sun was blazing down from 10am to at least 5pm.. i really felt like fainting after the match.. haha..

headed down to tany's house to chill.. ended up feeling quite crappy coz of a fever.. but it went away after we left tany's house haha.. must have been heat exhaustion..

down to Tony Roma's!! really thank God that when we got there, the place was almost empty, so they could easily accomodate 14 people :)
thank God that the surprise for Miao was a success! tany, lionel, myself, andy and sea each wore a paper bag over our heads, spelling out the sentence "Hi Miaofeng! Happy 12th Birthday! Haha.. " everyone was staring at us la.. what are these clowns doing man.. hahaha.. i guess Miaofeng must have thought the same thing too when she came in. haha.. oh well. it was fun! haha. kudos to tany for the idea, which i initially was really reluctant to do.. haha..

the SNAKE PAPER BAG GANG

praying for miao :)

my ahbeng shot

sean taking on a full slab of ribs on his own

many bdays in april..

anyway ytd we had small groups for jyc.. and we were sharing abt the reality of Hell.. the thought of hell's everlasting destruction really scared me.. not the idea of eternal pain.. but the feeling of eternal separation from God will just kill me..

it was pouring like mad this morning.. the thunder sounded like techno when i woke up.. coz it was so random and loud and it kept coming and coming.. haha.. and.. again.. i didn't feel like going to work.. thank God for mummy for forcing me off my bed yet again.. haha

zzz.. my office's really cold and has a lethargic aura all around.. i think i'll sleep after dinner tonight..

2007-03-22T10:56:00.000+08:00

need sleep, but i always can't enuf of it, no one can
asked my mom last night to pull me/force me/tickle me/do whatever it takes to get me out of bed at 7 haha.. coz missing one day of work has caused me a lot of catching up to do haha, but im still blogging anyway, coz i wanna share abt what ive learnt at jyc meeting ytd.

we learnt abt the obedience and humility of Jesus from the passage Philipians 2:5-11
abt Jesus' relationship with God

Jesus, althought he was one wif God, he stripped Himself of all privileges, assumed the guise of a servant, in that He became like men and was born a human being. He lived a selfless, obedient life, and then died a selfless, obedient death, and the worst kind of death-cruxification. From THE MESSAGE, it shows that because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honoured him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth-even those long ago dead and buried- will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father

Similarly, our attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ
Just as God exalted Jesus for his humility and obedience, God will also exalt us, if we humble ourselves before God and be obedient to his calling. How does God exalt us? For example, if we are obedient to our parents, our parents will trust us even more and respect our decisions in the future, it's like a chain reaction, where if we trust our parents for their advice for us, they will trust us in return, then there will be less naggings, and the family will be as one. This is one way God will exalt us.

I guess as sons/daughters, we must choose the first step of being obedient towards our parents, although sometimes it's difficult, humility comes from God.

2007-03-19T09:04:00.000+08:00

had a very fulfilling weekend :)

fri's bbq was great! and fellowship after tt was better! was in the same grp as jiahao, eduard and timmy, i must say i really really really respect jiahao for how he is willing to sacrifice so much to serve God and serve his ppl, no matter how bz or sick or down he is, he still trusts God to carry him through..

sat : SYNERGIZE CONFERENCE! THANK YOU ANDY FOR THE PASS! LOVE YOU! haha. anyway, wah was really really really impacted by Matthew Barnett, and how his sharings are so uncanningly relevant to our lives right now. Jesus told the lame man to rise up and walk; Jesus told the lame man to do something which he couldnt do since he was born, something he believed it's impossible, i guess God is trying to tell us to not just take on what we think we are capable of, but humble ourselves and rely on God to take on bigger dreams, things we alone cannot accomplish, but with God nothing's impossible.

Jeanne Mayo shared a story at the night concert, it was abt 40 christians who were forced by soldiers to strip naked and stand in the cold icy wind slowly and agonisingly freezing to death, unless they denounce christ. they were each given a lit candle, their only hope. One by one, the christians fell onto the icy ground, giving up their lives for the Lord, until the very last one, where he shouted " I can't take it anymore , i give up, i denounce Christ!"
The captain of the soldiers stood way behind, watching this tragic tribulation he had called for. Then, he took off his armour, walked naked all the way to the 39 bodies on the floor and said "If 39 of them could give up their lives for the Lord, then what they have given up for must be something worth dying for, and it's real!"
The next morning, there were 40 bodies on the icy ground.

I guess this season is preparing us to step out of our comfort zones, to become broken for God and form up an army for Him !
And then came Pastor Sam on Sunday, where he shared on taking up responsibilities as men, to rise up! If we men don't rise up, the women in church will not, because God will not allow it to happen.
And during Jyc worship, God led Tany to use the song "Take All of Me"

I love You
All of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ, take my life
Take all of me

God take all of me

2007-03-16T11:46:00.000+08:00

funny pics of urinals around the world,
our world strives in creativity in all areas, even in the toilets

eeew.. i can't imagine

hmm..

whahhaa.. worse than beheading

wahahaa Saddam Hussein

my favourite :)

2007-03-15T09:17:00.000+08:00

just finished laughing at may's sec one photos.. haha

aiight, had a really great time at jyc meeting ytd, everyone was on time for a start! just realised this week i'm gonna be in church 5 out of 7 days.. i think i need to pack my toiletries/sleeping bag/pillow and bring to church to camp out le.. haha. i can't imagine how im gonna cope when i start sch.. it's gonna be a lot harder, and what I learnt ytd was.. as the going gets tougher, we shld not ease our load and do less, but strengthen ourselves and prepare to take on more. looking at how the other leaders find time every night after a whole day at sch and work to plan for the jycers, it can only be God's love that's pushing them on, and their love for the younger ones.

today's the start of synergise, or synergy, i dunno.. haha.. all i noe is that almost all my friends are gonna be there, while I'm stuck at work, while lionel's having exams, while tany has sch.. sad man. but there are two things keeping me sane.. God, and May Pang's Sec One PICS.. WHAHAHAHA.. cannot take it.

oh guys u shld check out the book of James, quite a short book, but the essence of the content is rich.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

2007-03-14T09:16:00.000+08:00

finally got the time to post, have been really really bz lately

sat:
went to church in the afternoon to fold bulletins, powerhour, set up for Aunty May's wake
went for Julian(James' bro) bday party at his house after tt, had a great dinner!
after tt went back to church to set up 5th floor for children's service the next day as we borrowed some equipment for the wake
it was already almost 2am when we were done packing, bathed and fell asleep almost immediately.. but didnt really sleep thru peacefully, not used to queen's couch haha!

sun:
was a walking zombie in the morning due to lack of sleep, bathed and went for canto song practice! it was KY's 89th anniversary, but i guess this year's another special year due to Aunty May's passing.. the speech Ian made b4 our song was great too, and how Bishop Solomon affirmed him! wah.. i think Pastor Lilian and Uncle KC must have been really proud of him.
after tt was lunch at shaw tower wif NO PORK CHOP RICE. even the mee goreng tasted so so only.. i guess i was really irritated at that time haha.. sleepy and hungry with dashed expectations... but thank God for JH and tany, seriously, both of them can just stand on stage and get paid to do what they do.. tell their life story haha!
Captain's ball was great! just that there were too many injuries liao, but GOd always resolve everything :)

mon:
went to work as usual, after work, got a call from joel wong to join them to try out this new boardgame haha.. we took 3 hrs just to set up and TRY figuring out the WOW board game.. even Joel couldn't figure out the gameplay.. a few of us were just stoning there, eating icecream, playing around wif the figurines haha.. 3 hours gone.. i ate like 10 bucks worth of gelato laaa.. shiok shiok haha!

tues:
didnt go to work! hahaah.. firstly i was too tired to even roll out of my bed, secondly i had to finish up my sis's SS project, still cant input the music into the video though.. sigh.
listened to my mom talking for quite long about this book she's reading now "HEAVEN IS REAL", and how the author , some Pastor Dr David Cho from Korea, had seen Heaven and described it in the book.. and there are animals in heaven :)

soon after, got a call from Ian wong inviting me to join the committee for Big Hooha, being the free guy I am, i guess i have no reason to reject him.. after all, it's one way to serve God in. but i was quite reluctant as Ive never even attended a Big Hooha event b4 coz of army the past few years :( thought I could finally participate haha.. nvm. hope organising will be more fulfilling..

went for Big Hooha meeting last night in church at 730.. i guess this time round, it's not as easy as Brunch Out, or any other church camp.. this year we're gonna plan for 400 hundred ppl. it's gonna be a lot of work, and we're still coming up with ideas for games, and the location for the games.

shoutout: anyone who has ideas for games for 400 ppl and a huge area( preferably an abandoned office building, enclosed area) for the games, please please inform me thanks!

sigh..

there's gonna be JYC meeting tonight, long night again.
God gimme strength :)

random thoughts :
oh ya, i just bought contact lenses today, dailies, probably wearing it for soccer once a week only, maybe for captain's ball haha.. i think the last time i wore contacts were in jc.. i remember the first few days of contact lenses were a chore, i think i took like 10mins just to put on contacts hahaha! super waste of time.

and.. i just found out i have worship jamming this sunday after yc .. tt means no captain's ball for me .. boohoo..

there are so many flies and mosquitoes in my office! argh.. everytime i kill one, another will pop out from dunno where, sam even called me a mosquito-hunter, coz i'll report to her the moment i kill one hahaha.. i guess the truth hurts, ive got sweet blood :)

there's gonna be SYNERGY this thurs onwards, i wont be going coz of work :( so this week there's no chance of meeting up wif the usual peeps haha.. sad :( more time to myself i guess. haha..

2007-03-09T10:14:00.000+08:00

i remember when i was much younger, i disliked church camps, but was always forced to go..
during the camps, i would sneak into the church office and ask Aunty May if I could use her computer when she didnt need it, she allowed me to without suspecting anything..
i would then use her computer to play internet games while the camps were still running, and of course, aunty may caught me red handed.
from that day on, she labelled me as a rascal i think.

it was so unpredictable
asking myself, Am I ready to meet you Lord?

2007-03-08T09:25:00.000+08:00

caught this show last night wif some ycers..
it's a really good show, should be called the epic movie of the year haha..
rated M18
i think there was so much blood spilt in the movie that it could fill a swimming pool
i rate it 4/5 :)

too bad all u 17 yr olds and 12 yr olds (u noe who u are) can't catch it hahha..

hur hur.
i can't believe im gonna be 21 this year.
it's as if ive wasted my youth and been thrown into young adulthood like daniel into the lion's den.

i wanna be forever 20 :(

2007-03-07T13:36:00.000+08:00

A picture speaks a thousand words
lemme add a few for you guys
starting from the right
tany: apparently in a trance, probably had a vision of the future in his head
benw: apparently feeling very gay(happy), probably excited that tany was beside him
lionel: apparently working wif utensils in sch is not enuf, probably had a recipe for tany's ear in mind
myself: apparently not very awake, probably didnt want to be in that picture
andy: apparently very yandao, it's probably true from the picture above

buddies :)

my eyes were closed in all the photos yesterday! ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

i guess i was just too tired after work, the rain was just causing me to be even more sleepy.. i was almost forcing my smiles i think haha..

but thank God for great friends :)
especially vic.. goodness.. her head movement nv fails to bring laughter, although it has been like 2 weeks already hahaha.. and parachuting with a table.. -.-
and.. the look on the waiter's face when he saw the flash chute pop out.. PRICELESS.. hahaa..

i guess regardless of where we hang out, eat, chill.. it doesn't matter, the feeling's the same.. looking forward to more hangouts :)..
before everyone starts school anyway :( sob sob..

2007-03-05T10:17:00.000+08:00

ytd during yc pastor lilian mentioned abt how God has given a specific gift to each and everyone of us, and we prayed for one another abt this gifting..

one thing's for sure, i dun have the gift of encouraging someone and giving him/her optimism. i think i'm too used to poking fun at ppl that when someone's down or feeling lost, i'm just left either speechless, or saying the wrong stuff,
that's one area which i really need to work on.

anyway really sad that i had to leave earlier during captain's ball for family dinner, last day of cny mah .. but it was a really great dinner haha.. got to bond wif my family.. disturb my sis and my granny.. hur hur

anyway.. was really really stoned last night when i got home, couldnt sleep coz i was waiting for my hair to dry off, decided to try out the windows live messenger games with may.. hahaha.. we tried this game called " SAVE MOMO".. wahhaa.. a bit retarded.. then we settled for minesweeper flags! haha.. may u need more practise.. muahahaa

yarp the weekend flew past so quickly.. disgustingly fast..
wanna go on a holiday haha.. maybe hong kong maybe malaysia.. see how.. if anyone wants to go overseas pls bring me along thanks! haha

2007-03-02T13:49:00.000+08:00

but the highlight of the lunch was.. some really hot girl from the other company! but she's like 22 :( and she's chinese speaking :( haha.. oh well..

don't drool on ur keyboards k.. it might cause it to malfunction

anyway! i had a great day today, so far anyway, hope u guys had a great day too!

2007-03-01T09:20:00.000+08:00

SHOUT OUT TO ALL ACSIANS AROUND THE WORLD!!
HAPPY 121TH FOUNDERS DAY!

come to think of it, ive celebrated 12 years of founder's day, from primary one to jc2.. always looked forward to founder's day, as it always meant an extra holiday for us! haha.. but now when i'm working and out of school, i really miss celebrating founder's day wif the ac family..
there were years when the whole ac family would gather at the indoor stadium, and we wud have this massive celebration! there was one year where this dude BENJAMIN SUN had 11 A1s for O levels haha.. and he was congratulated on stage in front of like.. tens of thousands of students.. i wonder what that feeling wud be like..i dun think i will ever get to find out haha..

ok anyway
the series LOST is back!
time to make a choice haha..

issit claire from HEROES

or

KATE FROM LOST~

Not a difficult choice huh.. lol

2007-02-28T11:14:00.000+08:00

pastor mentioned something to me abt family last week
abt how our church is like our home, and the church leaders are our parents
thus, it is important to treat our church like our very own home :)

just like what we should do at home, we should greet our church leaders first thing we step into the church, if not it would be like bringing our friends into our rooms without greeting our parents, that sorta scenario.. sama sama..

pastor is accountable for all of us, thus letting her know abt what we r doing in church and our reason for meeting in church is the basic step

i guess stuff like these have to be learned through watching and observing our leaders, following in their footsteps.

yay tonight i finally get to go home for dinner after one month of eating out! finally have more time to myself! Season three of 24 here i come.. muahahahah!

2007-02-27T10:19:00.000+08:00

i can't load my blog page.. no idea why..

attended my friend's ntu hall play last night, it was a great performance overall, i guess a lot of effort was put into the play! we were all giggling to ourselves when she came on stage as the lead actress, in her serious acting mode..
it was pretty weird, she was always the life of the party, the crazy girl who was always being teased haha.. now she's playing the role of a girl playing hard to get.. hahaha..

but on a lighter note, there were a few really hot girls present last night hhaha! i cant imagine myself in NUS in august..

anyway.. it was great catching up wif my ex schoolmates. everyone's growing so fast in maturity, and horizontally too. haha.. most of them are working temporary in shenton way, already introduced to the working life in the central business district.
the girls my age are already finishing their 2nd year in uni. how time flies.
it felt like yesterday when we were sleeping in our lecture theaters, skipping classes, talking nonsense at the school void deck, checking out girls, playing soccer/basketball, skipping more classes, CCA!

haiz. i miss acjc a lot.
-funorama
-AC Games
-PROM
-Last day of school

fond memories.. haha.. getting very emo now
lol

one thing i wouldnt wanna rem is the food in acjc hahaha..

i guess everyone moves on in life, new friendships formed, old memories treasured, new phase in life starts in august :)

2007-02-26T10:16:00.000+08:00

You don't miss your water- one of my all time favourites by craig david

anyway, a big shoutout to all those who came down to help out at ytd's brunch out event!! greatly appreciated!!!!

ytd was one crazy day! jam packed, tiring, fun filled!

started off wif JYC BRUNCH out, then it was YC service, then off to captain's ball, ended off wif Simon's farewell BBQ in church!

it was amazing how we cleared hundreds of chairs from the LIVING ROOM, how we set up 5 stations in merely 15 mins.. has to be from God..
although not many ppl brought friends to the event, but i really wanna thank God that everyone who came enjoyed themselves and really put their effort in competing.. thank God no one was injured too!
and.... the foood! oh my gosh. the food was super good la! chao's burgers and fries! the endless flow of root beer floats! banana splits! for 2 bucks.

yc was great too! i was feeling really really sleepy during yc.. but thankfully Matt Rawlins had some interactive stuff to show us, if not.. confirm KO.

captain's ball after service! wah havent exercised for eons due to my back injury.. today i was finally back in action! haven't had so much fun in a long time le! so much more practical to exercise and have fun at the same time! but i think my nett gain/loss in calories was ZERO ytd haha.. as we had 2 bbqs in one day! haha..

yeah after captain's ball was simon's farewell bbq! had a great time sitting around the basketball pole just talking nonsense haha.. talking abt how Anton uses 50% of his brain while everyone uses only 10%.. how May got excited unnecessarily hahahaha.. we played boggle too! really love boggle as it forces me to use the brain that i left in storage for 2 years of NS.

anyway back to work again, had so much difficulty dragging myself out of bed today, my whole body's aching as well! i feel as though my hips can crumble anytime, and my legs can cramp any moment.. oh my legs cramped in the middle of the night..but i just slept the pain away.. too tired to even stretch it off..

gonna attend this play tonight at raffles hotel, some ntu hall play which my friend's apparently the lead actress.. hahaha..
there's jyc meeting tmr too.. another packed week again, i miss home cooked food haha

-sam left for china :( no one to disturb liao..

the people at my site are having a fire/chemical spill drill now..

everyone's armed with a walkie talkie each..
using the walkie talkie, they are supposed to locate the spill/fire and report and assess the situation..

mind you, 3/4 of the ppl at my place are foreigners who speak broken english

so.. the conversation was a little.. confusing..

couldnt understand a single word they were saying.. until.. i heard something that struck me in the face haha..

later i found out what it really meant..
it was supposed to be
"Cordon off the area with spillage"

what i heard was
"condom off the urea with spage"

im not kidding..

3) I love to beat someone in something he/she is good at, then i'll lose interest in it and find someone else to challenge with.

4) I feel like puking when I eat abalone

5) My tongue was sliced/burnt(notsure) by raw pineapple when I was a kid - my tongue's now less sensitive to hot stuff than before, i can scald my throat without realising it. (there's a scar on my tongue now)

6) I've got a feeling of dejavu everyday

i rem how tany and I had planned for ytd, and how we had planned for other stuff like bowling, timecrisis3, swimming, tennis, many many activities..
but things didnt turn out as planned, something wrong wif my tv, couldnt play any ps2 shooting games, it was drizzling as well..

BUT

God had his plans for us, His itinery was so much more fun than expected, activities just came coming in one by one :) endless fun :) stuff like charades and bauderdash weren't even part of our plans :) but it just came on the spot..

it was like a mini cell grp, wif tany as our cell grp leader :) hahaha..
i guess these days are precious moments where we will take wif us forever, imagine 10 yrs down the road, and we might come together again and recollect this very day,

when yingnuo was a crazy edison fan, might still be 10 yrs later
when tany pursed his lips and did a cleopatra (talk abt being girly)
when sam did her britney spears dancing finger and her patrick pose :)
when miaofeng did aunty TLC's heart warming tears
when victoria did her ANNA NICOLE SMITH!!! and garfield pose (i thought MEOWfeng would have done that)
when lionel did his little mermaid pose that STUNNED everyone hahaha! lionel's gifted with his on-the-spot humour!
when julian gave his definition of septugenarian as a person from Neptune and who is vegetarian hahahah..
when alysson did a much better version of a Felicia Chin pose than me, although im a 500% Felicia Chin Fan! haha..

10 yrs later, i'll be 30 yrs of age, Tany and Yingnuo will still be 12 yrs old
hahahaha..

alysson and julian will be 24/23.. wow.

maybe yingnuo will be a toolbar inventor,
tany will be a lip model
sam will join kidscentral with andy (paedophile) hahahaha
vic and miao will be netball coaches haha.. anyhow whack
aly and julian will still be studying
lionel will be on his way to becoming a 3-star world renowned chef

benwu and may will become fashion designers/artists/graphic designers i dunno..

so exciting to look into the future, tany has his plans marked out already, wonder what's mine

talked to andy abt it, I told him that similar to Tany, I've asked God abt relationships, and God told me to wait 3 years, i will be 23 then. 3 years to build friendships and He will lead me to the girl that's best for me, 3 years to commit and prepare myself, 3 years to fight temptations and become a stronger person, 3 years might be a long time, but it's just enough time for me to mould myself to become a better person :) and it starts now :)

i dislike the feeling of my brains just wanting to shut off immediately, but it just can't, coz i'm working?

i was so tired today. had jyc meeting the night b4, came back late, just so tired, so many things on my mind.

went to jurong point during lunch hours today to upgrade my atm card, had to take a bus there.. when i got to the bus stop, i sat down, cupped my hands to my cheeks, and fell asleep immediately.. first time i managed to fall asleep in that position..

so many things happening this week, and the weeks to come, headache!
birthday presents to get as well.. headache!
need to shop soon..

just can't wait for cny to come, to grow fatter and loosen up my brain cells a little, so that i can actually sit down and think for once :(

2nd post for the day,

it's raining like siao at my workplace now, just counting the minutes away before I knock off, planned to start running today, but the weather won't permit me to :( oh well..

anyway really wanna thank Miao for helping me to plan for the diving trip :)
thanks Tany and Nicole for giving tips and suggestions :)

there's gonna be a 50% chance that we'll be going to dive, due to the fact that by the time the monsoon season ends, some of them might have already started sch in JC, many other factors to consider as well :(
pray that God would give the GO ahead signal for us.

after talking to some of the teens in church, i must say that they have really really grown a lot! can see how they put God first in their lives, how they trust God in every situation, stuff that I cant manage to do sometimes..
God is building an army.

might be planning a diving trip this march,
really want to learn to serve the younger ones by planning everything out, logistics and stuff, but it's gonna be really tough, coz it's my first time doing it..
hopefully all those who said they were interested can make it..
but the cost of the basic open water diving course is kinda high.. 500 bucks. argh!
but i guess it's worth it..

check out the details here

if it doesnt turn out well, i guess it's back to the Hong kong trip Joses and I were initially planning, but we decided that diving was more worth it.. haha

so looking forward to the days ahead!!
-CNY!
-Church Anniversary!
-V DAY!?? hur hur..
-Diving TRIP??
-BRUNCH OUT!!!
