Love is all that we need...

~Quiet day~

2009-01-27T16:36:00.002+08:00

Its been awhile since I've encountered an eventless afternoon... With about another 2 hours before I head off to my next activity on the 2nd day of the Chinese New Year, it is indeed a rae moment of peace for me...

Its amazing how 2 weeks of school can seem so long yet go by so fast at the same time. How Ironic does that sound? And there has been alot of stuff going on for the past 2 weeks...

I have been taking a break of CO for quite awhile now... With all the valid reasons and I thank the Lord for this break that I have... I guess now going to CO for me has turned more into a responsibilty than anything esle that could describe what makes a CCA worthwhile... I guess little old me just had enough of not really being accepted in CO...

But whats new?

Yet CO got me in, so the least I could do is show my thanks and stick with it till the end...

I guess as a performer too, I'm really very practical and realistic... I hate performing when there's not enough time to practice, and to go on stage and perform that specific piece... For example, I just got word today that my group would be playing a grade 3 piece... With only like what, 3 days of practice before the actualy event?

The old me ould find ways of getting out of this seemingly pre-determined embrassement... And to tell you the truth, that part of me is still there but I guess I'll have to do my best... And if embrassement comes, it comes then...

I look out of my window and I see the trees outside, with the leaves shining a nice green... I wonder when would be the next time I'll be able to sit and admire the trees, in the afternoon?

~everyday~

2009-01-19T19:28:00.005+08:00

How can every new day be mundane? Each day brings about new and special moments :)

It has really been awhile since I've blogged... From the last week of holidays that I've tried to cramp all my enjoyment into a week... To this 2nd week of school, quite a bit has come and gone just like that...

I must say, 2009 is really tiring even though this is just the beginning... *sigh*, many things are coming my way... H3 Chem, CO SYF, CF (though I must CF is really Lovely :D)... Might not survive this MANNNNN... But well, God will carry me through...

But before I continue on with my life's updates, I'll like to talk abt the 1st sentence up there... And explain what it really means... To me at least :)

Many of my friends think that like is really a planned out routine, that each day is really mundane and boring... I mean it is quite hard not to think so, if you view fun in life as the free time you spend out with friends or maybe by yourslef... I totally agree thats fun and exciting and all... But Beyond all that, we're in school many many hours of our current lives and if that really measures how the day is going to be... GOSH THAT IS BORINGGGGG!

So, why do I say everyday is special?

I look foward to each new day, not really for all the lessons... But really look forward to meeting the people I talk and converse with :)... Friends, even teachers can change how view a long, tiring day... We can never say we know anybody totally... Cause we can't even say we know ourselves... We're learning more and more about ourselves as the days pass as we change in our views and ideas about life... I mean, change IS the only constant right?

And the beauty in it all is... Each day as we converse and mingle around with people, you get to see a bit of their character as a whole revealed to you each new day... You get see the image of God in your Christian friends each day revealed to you...

Each day brings about a new oppotunity to share the good news... Each new day brings about the oppotunity to be better than the last...

And most importantly, each new day creates a new memory, regardless of whether it is sweet or not... :D

The beauty of life is as such, is it not friends?

Dawn
Light shines
Through the night
Breaking Dawn
By its might

Crimson rays
fall on thine
as your eyes
align with mine

A fine reflection
Of the affection
that you and I
share so kind

As the light
shines so bright
Beyond thy sight
I see
Beauty of thou's light

Finally,
The cover is lifted
And the sun
hides no more

To thou
Thy light is
now so clear

For Love
Is thou's light
And thy soul
Is renewed

For as light shines
Not to blind
But to give
meaning for living

Love your life
Live your Love
For the Love of life
Is Alive within your soul!

the year before... and the year ahead...

2009-01-01T18:55:00.004+08:00

So I guess its about time to type a post of new beginnings by looking through my previvous year and thanking God for all He has done for me...

ACJC has been a JC I've been wanting to come since I was in primary school... And to be here today has indeed been a blessing to me in many aspects of my life :)...

The year has really been a roller coaster ride for me... With Ups and Downs filling up the year... I've been asking myself many questions about the things I stand for, the things I want and the things I do... And also about the friends around me...

Last year, I made a personal decision to commit more to the Christian ministry in School rather than in church as I would have the years before... Deciding to only commit in the Exaltation Ministry and not going back to the Children Ministry was I think, quite the change for me in my service in church... I must say I indeed miss teaching the P5/6s last year and also this year, since I'm not going back to that ministry anytime soon... But Exaltation has really been a minsitry that I enjoy serving in... I guess its raelly been a joy to give praise to God and share with the people of God new songs that give praise to Him... Though its been stressing sometimes when things don't come together so well... When the band isn't together, can't attend practices and when we have real limited time to practice for the service... I can really see God moving in church...

As I watch people praise His Name... And Sing Unto Him, my heart warms... I feel real blessed to amongst people who give praise to Him with all they've got :)...

And on that note, I must say that the decision to commit in school's Christian's Fellowship (CF) has been a great one...

Joining CF has been also a great blessing to me as I've met many peers with the burning passion for God and His Word, also for the people He Created and have not been saved... It reminds me of that verse in Hosanna... That I really do see several people 'rising up with selfless faith'... How rare and beautiful are their faith that God has placed in them... Though I have chosen to be the Ex committee for CO (Chinese Orchestra), I was still given the great oppotunity to be part of the sub com of CF! And Indeed I enjoy working along-side Ian, my logistics-in-charge :)...

I have met and learnt from many in CF... And there is just too many to name... For I've been learning from just everyone I've been spending time with in my life...

CF is just like Angora in school :)... I feel safe and am able to open my heart to everybody and share my thoughts and feelings with everyone freely :)... I therefore look forward to every friday's meetings where we just gather and praise God...

Passion AC... WUTS (Worhsip Under The Stars)... REW (Religious Emphasis Week)... All these events... I've seen God's presence hovering around AC... And its really just been lovely being at these events reflecting about my own faith...

This doesn't mean that I only love CF and not CO :P... Though I could do with a change in CCA... But the friends there, esp those from Barker have been great to me... Though not ALL THE TIME HAHA :D... But I guess thats just tradition for them... Maybe thats why I can't really imagine being very close to them as friends? Hmmm putting that aside, I really value their friendship... ACCO All The Way!

Its always been scary in CO since my erhu skills aren't fantastic... So I do fear sometimes when I don't meet the conductor's expectations... Also being QM for logistics for 08 has been really tiring, with all the logistics involved, moving and saigang work has not exactly been enjoyable sometimes... But I guess after this, I really feel that I'm made to do these things :P... *sigh* *sigh*

Exams haven't been a highlight this year... But I know God has really been with me all this time... Only through prayer can I get through all these tough times... With Him and His appointd people by my side...

Though I've been going about talking about how many people I really wanna thank and all... There is actually one group I do wanna mention...

Thats my churchies :)... Have all this time I realised that the friends that mean the most to me are from church :)... Thanks guys, you all are great!

2009 is real scary man... With SYF, CAPERS, PASSION AC '09, Encore '09, A LEVELS??!! Please keep me in all of your prayers :(

But in any case, 2009, HERE WE COME!

Reflections

2008-12-30T09:09:00.006+08:00

Yes I haven't updated in ages... Seriously... But I guess with all thats been happening after I came back from Paris, I guess I was just too tired to blog about everything I've been doing...

So if your wondering what exactly I've been doing, here it is...

Dec 20th and 22th: CCIS which is Celebrate Christmas In Singapore!! Spreading the good news about Jesus Around! :D Nothing much to talk about :P

Dec 23th: Audrey Birthday Party Cum Stay Over... Read Annabel/Angela/Audrey Blog for WAY more details :P OH OH and I got my 1st electric guitar that day... I love it!!

Dec 25th: X'mas in church... Not really that X'mas-y as I thought it would have been... Still the Message really meant quite a fair bit to me as a good reminder about our Salvation... OH OH and Debbie and Jeanette were baptised that day! YaYs for them :P

Dec 26th: OK, finally a day of rest :).... Trust me I needed it... But I was STILL to lazy to blog

Dec 27th: Matthew came over to my place earlier to do some math qns before going for our youth thanksgiving dinner! IT WAS FUN MAN!! And I loved my blue hair!! Although I couldn't keep it since I had to lead worship the next day... The food was great and most imptly, Bin Xing Shared :o! Overall, I had real fun :)

Dec 28th...

Ok main highlight of today's post... So before I go on to elaborate... I shall just talk about what happened on that day 1st...

There was SUPPOSED to be my favourite CAPTAINS BALL session.... But there were just too little people... Like 6 only?? So I guess, it was a flop... But hey, next time?? LOL, A LVLS ALR :'(.... But Anyway, to cut a long story short, we went to eat at Hua Num early cause 1) we had to be in church early and 2) I needed to meet Ivan to play... Some... YU-GI-OH! HAHA Trust me, we were just reliving our childhood moments... :P

So then after, I only had worship practice for like what, 6 mins with the team due to some complications with Uncle Gerald and his practice slot... So then after we prayed real hard for the worship and then went back to our seats to wait for our slot for worship...

OK HIGHLIGHTS

There was really more sharings than I had intially expected... And I guess when we hear how God works for each and every individual in their lives, no matter the outcome... He is really fit to be called Emmanuel, "God with Us"...

So When the 1st shift of sharing ended, the 2nd shift of worship started and I went up to start it off basically... Ok, for those who don't get what I'm saying... Our thanksgiving service has 2 parts... So the order of the service is like this...

Worship

Sharing

Worship

Sharing

Worship

End

And there is a change of worship leader for every section of worship... I was number 2... So we went in and led the Church in singing and prasing God... And as we introduced Hosanna, a new song to our church... When I heard everyone sing... You know the feeling was awesome...

I had many previvous experinces from leading new songs in church and not any were like this... No one sang for the previvous new songs... Only for this song, Hosanna...

Indeed, the people of Angora really wanted to lift His Name on High that very day, in thanks for what the Lord has done for us.. And when the people of God gather to sing unto Him a new song, all who are there will be blessed by it :)

The People Sing
The People Sing

Hosanna
Hosanna

Hosanna in the Highest

Hosanna

Hosanna

Hosanna in the Highest

Ivan shared too that day... A new believer coming forth in front of the church to proclaim his faith to men of God... That really amazed me beyond words of mere comprehension...

And I too must thank him :) For he reminded me of what I was, and who I've become.. Things that I've lost as time passed by... Hmmm

So here goes... My Reflections...

It has really indeed been an eventful year for me... So many changes, so many situations, so many things that happened that I've never really had a chance to sit down and reflect on the year...

I was really happy to have gotten into ACJC and to have been in Sepoy... I guess we really bonded as a PAE OG and forged bonds that'll last for some time to come :)... It was an OG who were enthu about everything... Always complaining about me wanting to learn to dance again and again and again... HAHA the chatting sessions we had... Now most of my OG has gone their own ways in different JCs.. But we still meet once in awhile, catching up... I guess though now Sepoy as a whole ain't as united as it used too, but we have forged great bonds of friendship between certain individuals... And some even more than just friends HAHA..

Moving on, I got into 1SC5... THE COOLEST CLASS IN HISTORY OF MY CLASS LIFE HAHA (Ok, 1SD1 might kill me for this but NVM).. I was with Tims for PAE... A brother in christ that I most of the time depended on :P... I had a super united Class for the mere 3 months I was with them... Always entering the class with a warmish feeling in me of being welcomed... The guys always sticked together joking around in class whereas the girls were always backing the guys up... Our Valentine's Day money making plans had caused us to stay in school till 11.30pm and stuff like that... I really really miss it... And I've made great friends too :)

But then there was....

The HIPPY-EST CLASS EVER! Thats SD1 for you HAHA (Ok fine they won't kill me anymore :P) They have been a cool class... With people from different exteremes in the class... I didn't really fit in at first, staying with the SC5 clique that went into SD1 together.. But we somehow all got together as a class as time passed by :)... If I were to stated person by person how great they are in my class... It would more than an hour to finish.. So I guess I'll leave that to after the As :P

There were many many many more things that happened in the year... But I'll elaborate on that tmr... Cause I'm running out of time... Need to go out soon... But I shall say one more thing before I end this post....

Churchies are the best...

They are really the friends that will accompany you beyond life... Into Eternity :)

~back finally~

2008-12-14T08:50:00.002+08:00

Yes... I'm finally back for all those who still bother to read... Anyway, There are many things to blog about so I'll start with the earliest one...

Church Camp 5-8th Dec

Yup, the theme was Arise and Bulid.

At first I felt it was only an okay camp... I guess cause of the amount of free time the guys had... HAHA, I remember the church camp two years back, there were so much stuff to do! Especially the captain's ball session we had with the adults and young adults! Too bad this year round we didn't have any at all! Not even during the holidays... I guess I'm mostly the one organising all these captain ball outings, so once I'm not free, no one esle really organises these outings :P... And since Angela's out of town, there won't be any till end Dec to early Jan :P

Anyway, back to main topic... I had a nice quiet sharing group... But when it came to games... We OWN!! LOL, I mean we got third place :P... Benjamin BENJAMIN!! XD For the amazing race, we were like only walking around to every place and not even running HAHA it was amazing that we even got 3rd place overall :)... Anyway, the games were refreshing, I guess cause the girls planned it, it kinda resembled children ministry games :D... But THAT doesn't mean its childish, it was fun! HAHA

This camp I really spent alot more time with my cell group (guys one)... Well cause 1) The girls didn't really come over and play bridge or tiati this camp round, I guess they had stuff on; 2) The guys shared a room together? So yea, we kinda met quite often :P... Sometimes Gyming with Andre.. Or slacking with Jo/ Matthew depending who was in the room... This time, camp really answered my question on true friends... Yes and thats you all man! People whom you can trust and believe in for a long time to come! :)

Leading Worship in camp was a nice experience as well... It felt easier to do repeats, or adjust the tempo for songs easier on the spot... Well, fast songs were a killer without drums and if your bassist or guitar are lost... You're in for it HAHA! XD But anyways, When you can hear the singing of the people of the church, your heart warms cause everyone there is just really there for worship. To sing praises to God, you know? :)

As I was saying, I only thought it was an okay camp... Well, until the last night and last day of camp... Found the problems in my life... And In the morning when I heard the sharing about Esther and Sam I cried so badly... I asked myself why? It couldn't be just because of Esther... I mean I do miss her... But not that much...

So what was it?

I left early to get back to Singapore on the last day of camp to catch the night flight for Paris later that day... And I was searching for that answer... And it became evident to me what I was crying out for...

My lost love for learning... The word...

Well shall not really elaborate cause it would be really really long... And its kinda special to me, so I only plan to share to some ppl :P..

Moving on....

Paris 8-12th Dec

Yes Paris... I shall upload pics soon...

It was a real rush since the flight was 13 hours... It didn't really leave our family much time to go look see look see... So we did as much as we could in that little span of time... I went to effiel tower! Super nice :P And serveral other places... But I'll leave that till the pictures come.. Then I'll explain in greater detail :)

Finally,

CO outing 13th Dec

Since I was still on leave for CO, I guess I was lazy and all... So I legally skipped the morning combine practice to go for the CO outing in the afternoon to support our fellow percussionist Jun Yang! Well, before Jun Yang's performance, there was the ensemble portion of the compietition... Where I got to see all the PRO erhu and well practically EVERY SECTION pro people... Thats the difference btwn School standards and outside CO standards.. Ah but Whatever! Just goes to show I needa practice!

I saw many familiar faces too! I only said hi to one... But after that experince... I decided not to say hi anymore XD... Just leave some messages behind in MSN or smth XD

Jun Yang was SUPER funny on stage :P... He was acting as if he was in some drama serial! HAHA but I enjoyed his performance... I guess thats the difference between Pros and Noobs like me :P...

Well, thats about all for now... I'll comment more next time :)

~its my life... part 2...~

2008-12-04T23:03:00.002+08:00

Now for the real comments on Its My Life...

Yes, like I said, it was AMAZING :D... The voices, the stories.... They were all relevant to our lives as teens :)

That night, there was no such thing called 'calefares' or extras in the background of the whole musical.. Everyone stood out in their own Special way...

The only disappointment I had was that the character Colette should have more... well, scenes for the character's development or at least allowing the audience to have a better view of what the character really is all about... And she too, (*I think she was acted by Pam) had a great voice that was under used... But I'm no scriptwriter or director myself, so I guess her presense there to show that not all youths make it out of their problems a-ok... And I don't really have the right to comment on it :P

Lets talk about my good friend Xue Yi 1st... Xie Ting was really just Xue Yi for those who know her, you'll most probably get what I mean... The energy, the Singlish (*HAHA)... But there's one point that really shined through the musical... That Xue Yi is indeed a performer, esp in the music aspect :)... Her voice was... DIVA-LIKE... That power, and I loved the huskiness in her voice if you get what I mean :P... I think she'll make a great actress, though I would love to see her in other type of roles :P... GOGOGO XUE YI!!

Anard played by Movin speak to me the most, being the mommy's boy and all... OK FINE all the voices in the musical were MIND BLOWING... so will not emphasize how great all of their voices were... Ok maybe a few... Movin was great protraying out his character and I really loved it... In more than one way, it reminded me of the ever-so drama Arunan who is now back in KL... Miss that good friend of mine.... :(

Moving on, Nabil was great too! To capture the aspect of forced choice of his future career by his parents, he has really shown the pressure that parents have on their children about not only their studies, but their future career. Also, it goes to show that many parents still believe that the arts in Singapore cannot bring their children far... something that I also feel, though not that strongly for... But the vital question here is...

Practicality Vs. Passion

His 'not very malay' joke blew my head off! HAHA So FUNNY!

Farid was really into character and his power vocals helped him prove his point.... The bad boy turned good may have been cliche, but he made it all different... Because of the very fact that it was his own way of facing up to the things and learning to change... That made his character memorable...

Conan and Glory are two power vocalists... And it almost seems that their roles in the musical were like that of mordern day Romeo and Juliet :P... I was especially captured by Glory's vocals... Though their stories were interlinked and filled with all kinds of obstacles finally coming to a happy ending... It didn't really leave that great an impression... Maybe because I haven't met that kind of situation yet I guess...

Rong Min reminded me of how I too felt about myself... Always going with what the crowd feels we should be doing or acting... But at the end of the day, are we really fair to our OWN feelings?? Her vocals were, without a doubt great too!

The drama favourite, Clarice too swept the stage! Her comment that 'I told you I had Drama and Dance' made all AC ppl in the hall laugh like mad!! It was SOOOOO commical HAHA... Like AC all over again... But anyways, her character made me ask aboutmyself... Should we always take our parents' advice? No doubt they're right most of the time... But should we always??

As they say, Best for last...

I was really... really, BLOWN away by Sharon played by Sarah... WOAH... 1) Her vocals, you gotta give it to her, she's beyond the words good and great... Almost that of a pro, if not there already... 2) I guess cause she was so much in character that it also didn't seem that she was acting.. More of telling... telling us her story... I was so fixed on her when it was her scene just before she sang 'The Stranger In Me'... Though the song had a real strong influence of Corrine May in it (*Practically screaming out her name as the melody was played out HAHA), it was great!!! Really really great! I guess since my mom was almost like a single parent back then when I was younger since my dad's a pilot and all (overseas training for like 3 months or more?, not at home most of the time), the things I see in the character Sharon reminded me of my mom back then....

The tears I see from Glory, Conan and Sarah made it all seem so real to the audience... I guess the stories may have been based real strongly on the life stories of each one of them... Making the production so real, so easy to relate...

And I Love IT!!!

Its my life.. A production worthy to watch and if ever the recordings come out online or on Cds... Worthy of buying!!!

Oh btw, will be away till the 8th from tmr onwards... And will be away again on the night of the 8th to paris till the 13th of Dec... So see you till then!!!

~Its my life~

2008-12-03T22:53:00.003+08:00

A Teen Musical By Teens, For Teens... ~Its My Life~ Was indeed fantastic :)...

But anyway, shall post about the time I haven't blogged first :P...

I have been really thinking about things bothering me, about the choices I make as an individual... Things that were affecting me...

I said that I'm really happy to have friends there for me... But do I? And exactly who? When I call, who hears? Does anyone ever? Who are close and who aren't? Trying to be a good friend everyone can get real tiring, and it was pulling me all apart recently. Even when I was unhappy and a bit angry, I didn't let these emotions surface and just went about doing my duties though I could have told the people involved off... Was I being fair to my own emotions and feelings?

Did everyone I interacted with deserve my time?

Fate has its own little game it plays with me... As it takes the things that seemingly appears to be mine, away from me... I guess I've come to live with it, but I never fail to ask...

Why?

And I've been searching for answers for these very questions...

I worked as a Calfare recently under Mr. Micheal Tay, and sadly I'm not supposed to blog about it... But what I've gained out of the experience is that, life seems like a drama with the script all written out ready for the neccessary actors to act... Yet the beauty of it is that these actors don't know the script yet the way in which they act is just like the story line planned out in the 1st place...

I'll never know who to best spend my time with... So if I don't try, who really knows what'll happen in the end? So I'll start with those who really express care and concern... Its a good way to start :) Even if we're all just 'calfares' of others lives...

Now for its my life!!

An Amazing Production Indeed For TEENS! It really talked to me in my areas of my life similar to those acting...

Quote from Sharon, "... The hardest battles you fight against... Is yourself" Which is so true! Min's idea of how she conformed to society to get accepted, but yet feel uncomfortable about herself; Arif being forced to do what his parents want; Xie Ting optimism in almost everything only to hide her fear of being the oldest in the family; Claire's idea of perfection; Farouk's change for the better; I loved the part of Coret and Gail's own type of Love differing from their parents though its still not relevant to me yet; Anand's quest to break from the boringness of life... WOAH I LOVE IT!!!

OOooooooooo PLUS THE VOICES OMG :D:D!!! AND THE SONGS, ITS LYRICS AMAZING :D

Xue Yi, thanks for inviting me to such a beautiful musical! I loved it lots! Shall continue commenting on it tommorrow in my next post :P

"Lord, I've come back right here.... Nobody even thinks that I'm here but you...'

'They have no right to judge yet they do... But you who have the right, don't... Thats why I'm back here again.."

"You know Lord... You rock!"

~Cf Com/sub com outing~

2008-11-28T17:57:00.003+08:00

We all had a beautiful outing on thrusday with the few of us that made it down for this very outing :D... Though I didn't get to know most of the other sub com members such as racheal since she wasn't down, I got to know my fellow sub com logistic member Zach alot more since he came down that day! I was indeed disappointed when I heard that Jotum, Ian and Jeanette couldn't make it down either :( that didn't dampen my spirits that much :D

I had alot of fun chatting and playing various random games with the people :D... We seriously did alot of random stuff, and alot of dunking too HAHA... Poor Cherene had to offend the guys that in the end threw her in the sea, twice! HAHA United the guys stood!! Oh and Poor Sophie too since she was so light, dunking her was a piece of cake!!! HAHA

Charmaine came alot later cause I think she had something on, coincedentally swapping places with Sophie who had to leave right after lunch :(. But anyways, we just swam around the shore and chatted... And we hadn't realise how long we spent till it drizzled, to realise that we've been in the water for abt 3 hrs!! So we finally decided to change out at abt 4 ++ p and head on home :D

I guess the activities weren't that amazing or fun-filled as it sounds, but the company was just amazing!

Thanks for organising people!! :D:D

Sometimes there are some things so beautiful in life that you'll need not actually have them as your own :)

~Spirito~

2008-11-24T08:49:00.006+08:00

That probably sums up the night of Spirito. I wasn't really all hyped out for it, more like I was worried for the stage movement for the whole event HAHA so much for a logistics manager! But it all pulled through somehow.

To me, the performance wasn't all that great. I guess we still have a long way to go to being that 'Gold with honours' orchestra that we all dream to be, with ALOT more erhu and percussion people that would fill up that big gap that we have.

On the other hand, I was happy that the erhu ensumble piece went fine cause during rehearsal it was WAY WAY bad HAHA! We were all like going off stage saying GG HAHA! I think the Lord was there when we called out to Him and he answered our prayers to place the concert in his hands.

Lan se de si nian on the other hand was... LOLing... Our whole section made mistakes like no one's business HAHA... But I guess no one really remembered who made what mistake since it was really too LONG of a song :P...

I really enjoyed Mambo though... It was mainly Shouting and shouting my heart out :D... And it felt great!

But the best part of the concert was... WHEN IT ENDED! Saw so many people I know came down to support various other people... And had a nice talk with them :)

On the whole, Spirito was a really tiring experience... But I had fun, spending time with the Fu-en and gang singing Chinese songs on the side and everything HAHA...

So here's my thanks... Starting with...

Irvin: I mean the president should always take the 1st place on any thanking list right? The guy has been workng his heart out for CO and though this concert is over... I bet SYF is all over his mind right now HAHA!! Anyway, he overlooks everything thats going on and sees that its done right :) It must be real hard on you esp the cookies HAHA... But it tasted great :)

Pei Yan: And what would Irvin do without your help? I guess there's really not much difference in the workload between President and Vice President... So you're techincally doing the same stuff as Irvin :D Thanks for all that :)

The Barker people in ACCO: I know I was really literally pulling my hair out when there were so many changes to the stage movement and all... But here's thanks to Jarron that he stopped teasing me and instead asked me not to worry so much about the whole thing. Which really helped by the way! Thanks to Ken who really ran back and forth the stage to help Xuan Han and all HAHA though most of the time it was because of Monster Hunter that he ran :P... Thanks Lukas, for the encouragement through out... I'm not pro yet, unlike most of you all, but I'm aiming to get there and I'm almost there :)...Thanks Mike, it was good talking to you once in awhile during like backstage and stuff HAHA it was really comic relief...

~resting~

2008-11-12T18:32:00.003+08:00

I had a great day yesterday since I finally had some time to catch up with some of my friends I don't really talk too that much, though I do see them every CO practice.

So, it was a nice day out with Lukas, Mike and Irvin for some time for badminton :)... We were supposed to play at Crainhill CC, just to go there and find out that the badminton hall was under some construction... *sigh* But we did play some basketball for about an hour or so, until we decided to head off to Thomson CC to play, and I realised that my passing and catching of the ball was ok, but I can't score for nuts!! LOL maybe thats why I didn't really like Basketball :P... Of course, having two ACJS primary school people around, the group of 4 had to drop by ACJS for them to take some pics before the whole school is gone for good...

To cut a long story short, soon after we left the place and arrived at Thomson CC, which seems SO foreign to me. (I've only been to the Thomson Area twice in my life, not counting this time :D). I really enjoyed the 2 hrs of badminton, and learnt quite a bit about how to improve by none other than Lukas... Hopefully in the near future, he'll find me a challenge :P... But that will definitely take really some time!!

We went opposite then to have some nice lunch at Long House, and to discuss if we wanted to go out and do some stuff... After a real long discussion and Irvin's 'persuasive' reasons, we decided to head off to United square... Must say its a real nice place... And I really enjoed that period of time that I've spent with them...

We must definitely have more outings like this man!!

~a quote from a clockwork orange~

2008-11-05T19:14:00.002+08:00

... "It may not be nice to be good... It may horrible to be good. And when I say to you I realize how self-contridictory that sounds. I know I shall have many sleepless nights about this,. What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness?Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him? Deep and hard quesions..."

Really interesting quote to think about....

What does God want?

I've got my answer....

Have you?

not good enough

2008-11-04T20:41:00.002+08:00

Yup, never good enough... Never was, never is...

Something that my life revovles around... Was never good enough in my studies, had to always appeal into the school I wanted to go into... Never reached the mark of any benchmark... Sports, music or even character...

Well, I guess not making the mark for being an ogl wasn't any different either... When I came out of the interview, something in my heart told me to accept it if I don't make it to become an ogl... Maybe I should have listened to it then, so I won't be so disappointed now that I've indeed failed to be one... Haha, as quoted for some barker boys, I'm really a joke...

I have great friends around me that make me feel as if I can really do and take up responsibility for certain things... Thanks guys... But sometimes I wonder if my strength really is enough... I mean of course without God, I won't be able to do all these things yet... If he didn't put all these people in my life, could I have really done all these things?

Could I? Most probably not at all...

I wonder what God really wants me to do? What is his plan for me?

I read once that when one gets too far away from his own dream, he can choose to give it up and help others realise their dream... I seem to be taking that path, and I really love it when others get to do what they what...

Cause at least, they can do what I can't...

Still, I'll put in as much effort as I can in whatever I do....

Well, though most of the time, its not really enough...

I wonder how some people really handle this...

Win some, Lose some? Ha, guess its something I really have to get used too...

Good day to blog...

2008-10-27T22:07:00.003+08:00

Cause I am really unmotivated to study for Chinese at ALL!! So here I am blogging about my recent events that happened...

Promos were satisfying... Though many out there would agree that Bio was worse than expected... But well, I cant complain about the rest of my subjects... And the results of my friends has made me rethink a lot of things in life... But ah well, thats a story for another time...

Hard work cannot ensure you success at the end of the day anymore in today's context... Where Passing is not by the marks of your tests but by the As you get... (Ya, I know what you're thinking... Whatttttt~~? HAHA!!) And your peers aren't helping, by making life harder than it is as THEY excel too, which isn't a bad thing for them... But more for ourselves...

Of course, that doesn't mean we're not happy for them... Its great if our friends score well! :D

Yet, results aren't the main focus in our lives, isn't it?

The past year has been a lot more just studying and CCA-ing in a sense... Its been a time of interaction with people, knowing others better and for me, living out a Christian life in well, a medodist institution which ironically has a majority of non-chiristians in our midst.

What is YOUR life priority?

Good question. What a good question to start asking ourselves just after the Promos... At the end of this whole year, I realised that I had more questions about my life and lifestyle, my character and personality then I had begin with when I first entered the gates of ACJC... Interesting, huh?

As I grow, I thought the more I'll find out who I really am... Now, as I grow, I begin to ask more questions about it... Whatever the case though, I have a whole 2 months to think about it and get down to it...

J2 looks nice and tough... Better go out more often this hols!!

PS. Chinese Orchestra of ACJC is having a end-of-year concert called Spirito, and its held on the 22th of Nov! More details regarding it will be posted the next time :D

Packing....

2008-10-10T18:57:00.002+08:00

The move to my new house is the main focus today...

No, I'm not actually moving today, but it was more the packing that sucked the life out of me... It has been a long and not really purposeful day, but I guess we all have days like that don't we?

I really wanna go out... :(

art?

2008-10-09T11:40:00.005+08:00

What a way to spend the day after Promos with Open house...

That kind of sums up the whole day I had yesterday. With performances coming one after another, the panic of the T-shirts for C, I would say that All the CCAs that was in open house (Especially the performing arts) didn't have an easy time. CO for one was mentally draining, with the running about I threw myself deep down the mental pit of fatigue. Though I can surely say that the dancers and the others in drama were definitely physically and mentally drained beyond my imagination.

And because of Open house, I finally got a bad sore thoart which is sightly healing after having the cough drop that the kind Dr Tan gave me today. Knowing that my exams are over, he also gave me a two-day MC and a week off MC for CCAs HAHA... Still pondering if I should go for CF and CO on friday and saturday respectively... Hmmmm, maybe I'll meet my friends out?

But today I finally have some time to spend with my mom after so long :). The promos has indeed taken up quite some family time, though I still talk to my parents, but now with it over, I can finally spend some quality time with my mom :D... Family always comes first in the area of human relationships, of course not forgetting that all in all, God takes first place...

Back to the open house!

It was indeed a thought-inspiring day~! For us CO members, we do know that our performance yesterday was below expectations, yet there are those out there who appreciate our music! Which was surprising to me :P, since I wasn't really happy with yesterday's performance :(... Though so, I must add that an orchestra with so many new members in it, I wasn't expecting too much and the standard we've achieved has not turned out quite bad :).. Keep on working!

As I was chatting with Esther after the Open House, Dancers had the same feeling... Well, almost... Instead of screw-ups, it was more of the sian feeling than anything esle... Yet I really enjoyed yesterday's performance (well, except for the part of guys going between other guys.. you know, HAHA)...

The forms of art are many, and to write about all of it in detail would take years, decades... Or will it ever be all compiled in one document? It is ever changing, and bringing new insights to our so very narrow minds (Ok, at least my very narrow mind HAHA). And it never fails to inspire. Well, for one, all that I've faced till now has left me standing or sitting watching in awe... But behind every performance, there's bound to be loads of hardwork placed into it, and for those who really appreciates art to a great extent, can tell..

Well, guess it goes to show that, hard work can be really appreciated... At least in the world of arts, I guess.. There comes in the element of talent, of atmosphere and of skill... But what pays off the most? Its the work put in...

Hmm, guess I've got alot of work in that area to catch up with :(...

Updating

2008-10-06T10:39:00.002+08:00

Its been a long while since this space has been updated, really... :P Guess all my free time has been spent on reading online manga or watching videos, that has mainly been the way I've spent my Promos away :D

The promos wasn't as great as I thought it would be, I mean those papers that I thought were really scary weren't, and those which were supposed to be do-able... Lets just say it was above average...

In any case, my dream of doing a H3 for my J2 year has been temporarily placed to a side... Not really expecting much of the promos, but if God allows me, I would really love to take an external H3 :)... Who knows, I might even go to RJ next year on fridays :P...

I've been feeling rather detached from most of my friends recently, and for someone who believes that he cannot survive without friends in his life at all times... Has been a new experience.. Hmmm, how should I put it... Though sad that he cannot continue a long conversation with most of his old friends, he has been able to move on with things this way... Learning that from Lukas really helps alot, and life for me therefore hasn't really been that bad to me, since I would blame it all on myself if a friendship I had went on to become sour :P...

But I guess though I talk less to loads and loads of people nowadays, the face still remains. That they're place in my heart never really moves, as I still value my friends as much as I did before... Or who knows, even greater than before. I'm not saying that I would offer my life in exchange for one of my friends in a life-death situation... I might, but what I'm saying is, I'll always try to be there...

I havent really been the important friend in people's lives... No one really comes up to me when they're really down, or when they really need help... Maybe, I cant really help at all? Nah, on the contrary, I just think that I'm too insignificant for them to remember me when they actually need help... It isn't all that bad I guess...

It just makes me wonder to myself once in awhile...

Among my friends, who do I and who trusts me the most?

and the consequence of sin is death...

2008-09-05T21:14:00.002+08:00

... Which would have meant I've died countless and countless times already...

All this time I've been away from blogger, I've been riding on a spiritual roller coaster... I've been trying to be a good example for christians and non-christians in my school so that I can really glorify God's name... Though that has been done at a level better then in the past.... When no one's looking,... Sin is still there, consuming my heart...

Have I not learnt the greatness of God, that I should seek to find sin acceptable?... I know not anymore...

~the day...~

2008-08-16T19:50:00.002+08:00

It was a long saturday as usual... So I'll save you all the trouble of listening to the all so boring facts of life that we all ALREADY have to go through... A mundane ritual of CO was on today but at the very least, I was able to clear 23 pages of my 42 paged GP package.... Which would be tested on thrusday...

Not to mention my all so dreaded GP common test on wednesday...

But no matter, I shall leave that case to rest and continue on today with some mugging before it draws to a close...

I met up with Tims just now cause he had to be in school to study and he decided to stay back to mugg all the way till late in school once again... I really realised today how many good friends I've made from Barker... Its not really REALLY alot, like alot being 50 plus plus... But there has been enough to make life alot less difficult to go through... I think they already know who they are and well thanks for everything guys :D

And while the light of the night,
has not dimmed out of thy sight,
by the strength of my might,
complete to work of my life...

~down with flu~

2008-08-12T19:35:00.003+08:00

Major sianz today as I'm currently down with a minor flu... Kept on sneezing and sneezing... But well, we can't always expect the days to go my way. If only the world were to revolve around a single individual, HAH! But of course, asking for the impossible is a way we all run away from reality sometimes :P...

Work has been ok, since I haven't been going out as my friends all have their own committments... No matter work, or just going out with their other friends, I'm just not really the top of their list :P..

Haven't really felt that I've ever BEEN top of anyone's list then my parents whom I love alot... At this period of time, I can already imagine my fellow good friends Jarron and Matthieu's response of "SO SADDDD...." HAHA... But well, maybe I'm just not meant to be top of lists. It used to affect me alot, but now I guess its ok and all.

I've stopped aiming to be really important in others lives, now I just try to do so... I'm just trying my best to live out the life God has planned for me... And that in itself is already not easy in the first place. Well, I guess I'll have to pray and let the Lord lead.

In all things, let God take the lead :)

Going to start mugging...

2008-08-03T19:58:00.003+08:00

Mugging seems to be the new 'IN' thing for students in JCs around me... Well, for most that is HAHA... I guess I'll have to do so in the near future due to the all so 'nice' Promos thats up in a few weeks.. And to think I was just enjoying JC life just after orientation a few months ago...

Ok, fine THAT was months ago HAHA!

CO has been nice and fun... Sheena has been a great help as her QM post! I think seriously, without her, my job would be so much more, so THANKS :D... Btw, she proivded the new stands box in the CO room, so please take care of it guys!

CF has been great too! Although I told myself in the past that I'll only go if I had the time and no work... I've grown rather attached with it :)... I feel really at ease with the people in it and its where I can be myself and not get laughed at. Its something like church.. On weekdays! Its now a place where I go and reflect over the week and think abt my actions that I've done... I've made new friends there, and been trying to mantain the old ones...

With that thought in mind, I would also like to say: Church friends are the best. I know I haven't really been talking to you all, except for my cell. How long have I've known all of you? Matthew, Andre, Annabel, Angela, Audrey? Since P3 huh? THATS BEEN A LONG WHILE! Of course then comes Ximin, Jo and Wenxin who came a wee bit later... You all have been fantastic!!!

Guys, we should seriously conference soon!

Matthew, You've been a long time great friend MAN! Thanks so much for everything! I've always enjoyed the talks we have, but seriously we gotta be better examples by not taking sermon time to talk HAHA!

Andre, I've always take your comments to consideration when I do stuff, cause its really useful! You have always been a great friend to depend on and seek for questions, more on God's Word though there is definitely no doubt in your adcademic area HAHA

I decided to write a little something since your birthdays were coming up! HAHA

1SD1- My class has been great... But I know many of you are burderned and are weak and weary... Lean on the Lord for Strength, friends... We're all in this together

~Hope you all have a good night~

Mundane lifestyle

2008-07-31T20:54:00.005+08:00

The 'barker' side of ACCO

In view of all my fellow friends who too, blog, I decided to take some time off to blog and rant about this mundane lifestyle that I have now. Work Work Work is so now the priority, and PW is really getting on my nerve. While all in all, I cant say my group isn't doing work, its really not up to standard, and thats the truth of it.

Well, putting that aside, I've been reading alot of emo posts on other ppls blogs and all that, just wondering how are you all doing? My fellow companions in this very so boring lifestyle of just plain mugging and doing work...

Sigh, and to top things off, I have NAPHA retest, WOOHOO for unfit ME!

CO on the other hand has been ok... Got Logistics QM post, which is ok cause I've done Logistics before so... Shouldn't be that bad... Oh and I'm also working with alot of familiar people esp Irvin as President!! But anyway, all the best Irvin!

Just hope life gets more interesting and work gets less tiring and fustrating...

Lets have some pics up instead...

Weak

2008-07-17T20:30:00.002+08:00

Its been a week of work and reflection of what I've really become after entering JC. I must say that I've really changed quite a bit from the past, and personally not in a good way.

The past few mornings, I've been coming to school to do my morning devotions and spend the time to think about all the times I've spent here. For about 7 months worth of memories, what I see is merely arrogance, myself poking into others' matters with my really annoying busybody attitude, all this for just a mere wanting to be on an equal with everybody esle. Why? I ask, that I should feel that I'm not an equal? I think this question has driven me nuts for months, and probably changed me to someone I'm not. I was from a friend who told me about my change that has put this change to a stand still. Though this has indeed affected the way in which I have been conversing with people for the past week, it has provided me the chances to think before I say things or do things.

Never have I felt so useless and empty before... I remember in the past, where I promised myself not to change into someone who is full of arrogance, easily pushs the blame around, lazy and self centered,,, Yet for a period of time, what was I? This very being that disgusted me! Aiming to serve God and turn into a better person in JC to thank him for the grace he has shown me for my whole life, wasn't that what I aimed to do when I first entered AC?

Imperfection has always been evident in my life... I always ask myself if I'm needed in people's lives sometimes, whether even as friends, I'm more of a burdern than an aid... I depend on my friends greatly, yet I question myself, am I really a help to them.

Lord, help me be what you want me to be.
Amen

blogging again :)

2008-07-10T20:07:00.002+08:00

Was down with flu today... And decided to take nice rest at home :D... Did some studying, at my nice own pace... Chem was seriously unsolvable by my current knowledge of it... So will be asking more intelligent people soon enough :P...

Bio on the other hand, was more welcoming and more understandable than the all unknown Chem.. HAHA

I had many nice calls and smses frm friends so thanks for expressing your care! :D I'll be back soon

I hope :D

As of now...

2008-07-08T19:44:00.002+08:00

Bio got an A WOOHOO!! So Happy~~! But looks like mugging later in the year will come down on me hard...

S for GP HAHA... Wasnt really expecting too much for it ANYWAYS... But now at least Ms Neeta FINALLY realised I NEED Help!!

SO... Here's my Report card XD

Biology--------A
Math H1-------A
Chinese H1-----B
Cheminstry-----C
Econs---------C
GP H1-------- S

To God be the glory, Great things he has done
The BEST is Yet to BE

After Terms...

2008-07-07T17:42:00.002+08:00

I was just told by my mom that I've been spending too much time on my beloved computer and PSP... *sigh* No matter how much I want to deny it... YES I have been... But I haven't kick started the mugging mode for Promos... Which is really quite near based on what many many ppl I know tell me HAHA... I think its about I think 81 days away? Which is about 11 weeks and 4 days away? WOO HOO Friends, mugging in session with PW is coming up! Man that sucks

But anyway, terms have surprised me quite a bit... With me passing most of the subjects that I've taken, and well the other two I haven't recieved back yet... So here goes...

Cheminstry was a real surprise as I got a C for it! Like WTH? I thought I was going to fail, but I guess its all God's hand in this, cause I like totally blanked out in Terms and didn't know how to do alot of Qns... But he thought that I studied quite a bit, so decided to grant me a pass... But either ways, Thanks God! I entered the examination hall totally aiming for an A to only come out of it... Shagged and totally disappointed... which thought me that overconfidence really causes people to take a huge fall...

H1 math was great as usual with an A... I mean, Its a H1 and its math!! WOOHOO

Econs was good too with a C judging that I only mugged a day before... Putting all my hopes on Bio and Chem... So after chem I rushed home to mug for Econs.. And still managed a pass :D... Good job :)

Chinese on the other hand was quite disappointing, with a 68.7....%... And yes its a B... I was hoping for an A.. But guess I'll just have to work harder...

I just hope I'll do well for GP and Bio!

To God be the glory, great things he has done,
The Best is yet to be

~Storm~

2008-06-29T20:55:00.002+08:00

Storm of the night,
Hear my plight.
Where dreams take flight,
Beyond my might.

Men who believe they're right
just because they fight
for what they believe is right.

That is their plight
which has caught my sight.

Who is right?
What is right?
Do we have - rights?

O storm of the night,
Cry as I might,
Will that cause thee
to save us from our plight?

SEPOY!

2008-06-27T20:58:00.000+08:00

Hey there you all go friends.. And yes we alone took that many pics HAHA

~Ryhme and time~

2008-06-21T16:06:00.002+08:00

You felt that if you
stopped time and its ryhme,
then it would stop your demise.
Yet none can stop His design,
of time and its
ryhme.

For you are part of
ryhme and time,
For every moment is
Part of time,
And in every word,
Is a part of rhyme.

Death and its demise,
Is all part of time,
Yet for it to ryhme,
Is then life thine?

You say you cant,
But you can ryhme,
Its all in time,
To find your ryhme

A ryhme for all
Times to come,
In love, in hope,
In joy, or
To just - rhyme?

To ryhme is joy,
and joy for ryhme,
Yet my ryhme is wrong,
And so is my time.

For to ryhme right,
Is to, well,
Rhyme

To spell things right,
Is a matter of time,
And till we get to
that time,
Will our true time,
of life begin.

To rhyme is time,
And in joy, we
rhyme.

terms... soon... real soon

Here's a real good song to listen when you all are resting from all the work that you all are doing :)

Anyway, It has a real good holiday, one of the best I've had ever since the one right after 'O's... :D I've been spending time with almost everyone that I've lost time with due the JC life that eats up my personal life with friends...

I have found my love for learning which makes me feel kinda like a nerd through out the holidays... Haha, I've been enjoying learning new stuff, not only in my studies but for stuff that I dont study as a subject. Like re-looking at my previvous lit stuff, or new vocal techniques :D... Its been a holiday of new experiences, and I've been loving it... Learning also more abt my friends... Which is the things I love to learn the most.. Which is about people...

I've realised that my love for studying is not only like for the arts... But also for the sciences.. Yes people... You are thinking to yourselves, HE IS SUCH A NERD.. Well, seriously I dont blame you, though I dont study all the holidays cause though I like learning, Preparing for exams are TOTALLY diiferent things altogether!

I just wanna be always at this state... Learning stuff, Not for exams man... *sigh* Its going to be a super sian week ahead...

Well, study?

2008-06-17T16:58:00.003+08:00

YES I'M BACK WITH A GREAT COMPUTER!

HAHA!

Well, it has been a great 4 days in Maldives, truly having fun in the sun! I got a slight tan on my skin... Studied quite a bit there... But STILL didn't do my chinese work... HAHA I guess I just don't feel like doing chinese although I love the language XD...

I saw true starlight there and it was really beautiful... And the Sunset... WOAH!!!! It was sure beautiful :D

Here's a glimpse:

I guess you all should know by now... I travel quite frequently, seeing many sights, eating good food... But still something in me still hasn't changed after all this time...

I still enjoy being with my friends more than anything in the world...

I was thinking abt alot of things in Maldives... But just before I zoom in on what I did think about... Here's a little something I picked up from Esther's blog to set the mood right...

"I always wish for a lot of things, but one of those that I really want to come true (but I know will not) is for 1SC5 to have always been a class. We were only a class for about a month, but in that short time we became really bonded and close as a class, and the class spirit was so strong. I always felt comfortable with the scivers, like it was family."

"Imagine, up till now, we still have sc5 outings. Not everyone turns up, but the fact is, there's still this imaginary sc5 living in us, even though the sc5 we would like to have doesn't exist. And this is what makes us so special. I bet no other PAE class is like us. (:"

I feel We are truly family... I cannot deny that my current class is cool and fun too... But I only mix around with people that I kinda mix well with I guess? There are still some I cannot really like talk really well with... Which was not the case for me when I first stepped into sc5...

I was really gald that day when I realised that Timotheus was in the same class as me... Yes guys, I know you keep on telling me that he insults me like nuts.. But knowing him for such a long time, I know he is just teasing and really cares for his friends... So NEVER MIND HAHA...

I still have the paper that Ms Azlina had us do on the 1st contact time... To learn about each other... I still remember sticking to my OG friends and Tims when I first came in... But really REALLY soon, I found myself wanting to come to school everyday to see the rest of the class!

I still remember all the guys stood together when we kinda didn't do our homework for bio... AND other subjects HAHA... But I guess the rest of the teachers, though seeing that we were doing the WRONG thing, still played along cause it was really kinda funny how we defended ourselves...

I still remember once, We all didn't do our work, and Ms Azlina, knowing this asked tims a qn off the worksheet... Flipping to the page, I pointed at the answer and he went on to deliever a magnificent performance to make it seem that he DID the work! HAHA But I had to fill in at the last part cause it was also vital for the answer HAHA

We had many MANY active girls too like Shu Mei... I bet you cannot forget her and the Chinese Teacher right? HAHA THE CHINESE TEACHER!!!

I think we had to thank our Chinese teacher cause she was what mainly bonded the Chinese class people... Trust me, those who are non-sc5 ppl, you have not seen Chinese-Hell until you've been in our class HAHA

Who could forget the times we stayed back for fun-o-rama.. Just to get enough seed money to start a stall... The late night dancing, and all the laughs we had...

One of THE best videos done by TIMONTY!!

And it was really sad when our class was disbanded... Bits and pieces of sc5 flew all over AC and Singapore... And I guess I can now only say, it was great while it lasted...

So as I end today's post... Here's to scivers out there reading this post :

To all, if your name is not written here today, its not that I've forgotten you... Trust me, Its an experience that God has blessed me with. How could I forget? As the Asst class rep, I can tell you all one thing...

We are still a family

Or at least me HAHA if you dont believe we still are... You are welcomed to call me anytime, or anyone from Sc5 to talk to them... Why would we all care? If you should doubt... Why would HE/SHE care? If you should ask

Then lemme tell you and reaffirm you...

Its the memories that we've been together that makes, well at least me, love life more... And I pray for all of you cause you are... And still will be... the special gift that we, as a class... And for the many others that you interact with in many different parts of your life...

Have

God bless you all :)

Because we are 1sc5, we are AC-FIED!!!

first day in Maldives

2008-06-12T21:19:00.005+08:00

Yes guys... If you all have been wondering where I've been or have been trying to get me... Yes I am now officially in Maldives... And it feels like its been ages since I left Singapore, that sunny island! Although it is ironic to find a computer that is EXACTLY the same type as those found in the ACJC's computer labs in an isolated island... Here I am typing this very post :D... But, this High tech Computer could use an Msn Messenger... Because without is, I feel SO disconnected with all my friends!! Darn... And smsing here is like a dollar per sms... Which kinda limits me to all my messaging... Darn, sorry friends... But if you need to get to me, I'll be using the computer everyday, half an hour to check on my mail and stuff... Apparently, there are kids using the computers with good internet access to play games for hours and hours to past when we are all limited to only half an hour... *sigh* well, kids will be kids right? But well, maybe I'll have more luck tomorrow...

The scenery here is fantastic and the activities that we do here are great! It is really starting to become one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday man! With that being said, I also managed to complete studying and remembering the DNA chapter by spending 3hrs mugging too!! WOOHOO!!

Well, will talk about it more tmr... if not I'll end up being one of those inconsiderate kids using the computers for SO LONG ARGGHHHH!!

Apparently... All the computers cant post anything or send e-mails out to the world out there... So I guess, the really cool Apple computer that I'm using now... IS NEXT TO USELESS!!

You'll only get to see this post when I get back to Singapore and post it using my own com...

going to maldives

2008-06-11T15:26:00.001+08:00

Well, it wasn't an extremely eventful day for me... yet cause I'll be leaving for the airpost in about an 1hour and a half's time.. Well, I had the youth camp reunion on monday and tuesday and it was super super fun! With the late night taboo games and the anything goes song writing... It has indeed been a blast for me... The pictures are still in the camera which is in the luggauge to be sent over to maldives later... So I guess I'll post the pictures someother time then :P...

Was just spending some time in the morning thinking about things... I have always loved writing since young, and perhaps also everything esle regarding music too... And as you can see from the previvous posts, I love to write when I have free time and when inspiration strikes me :)... I kinda wish I took up Literature again, though Econs isn't too bad a subject to study... And I guess well, I should be studying my subjects rather than just writing and doing the stuff I would like to do in replacement to studying...

It always kinda seems to me that the world is trying to tell me, "You're not good enough in these areas of the arts, so just go study your science subjects and forget about all these things". With all the previvous comments that I got, this is kinda true..

Life kinda sucks when the world demands you to be better than who you are :(

~The Wind~

2008-06-08T22:01:00.002+08:00

And as the wind
Broke through the night.
The silent breeze
Swept past the light.

And into the depths
Of my heart it cried
“Wander not away from
Me, you might”
And I tried

I tried to run
Beyond my might
To follow what
I thought was right

The wind,
It held the saddest sight.
Of a life that is…

Ever going,
Never ending,
Never stopping,
Ever crying

Yet cry as it may,
Nothing may stop its course,
That is,
In vain.

But,
May I try to
Be the guy
That the heard the cry
And try

To stop the time,
When winds blew by,
To have chat and
Slow its time so that
Winds need not blow
With all their might

But friend,
Till then, my prayers
Are with thee,
That your journey is one, though
Hard and painful,
Brings joy and peace to many.

~Faith for change~

2008-06-05T21:30:00.004+08:00

Be Gone,
Oh dreaded foe!
Be Gone,
Oh so-called friend!
One beyond redemption
Shall not reach the likes of thee!

Many a times
My hand held out
Seeking merely friendship.
What I had attained in return
Were nothing more than just
Mere stabs in the back.

Oh Lord,
Hear thy prayer!
Forgive thy sins!
Forgive thy transgressions!
For I have left my brother
And his sins, without rebuke,
Without correction.

I pray that thou
Will not let the flames of hell consume thee.
Yet if,
In order to secure my redemption
Is to rebuke this so-called brother…

Oh Lord, I’ll shout out to you for strength!

Only a fool gains pleasure
In others’ demise.
When they see
Others in humiliation and in
Embarrassment,
Do they feel satisfied.
Oh Lord!
You know my heart!

For my heart
Has no place for them!

For a saint I am not, and
For the saint I aim to be,
I beseech you, Brother
Turn from thy ways, and
Be gone from thy sight!

For these fools, who,
like any other,
Will turn back to dust.
Judgement will come,
And promises only
Eternal torment within the
Depths of Oblivion.

I’ll pray, however,
For your salvation.
That a gay faggot
With such a shallow mind,
Such as thee, would change
Thy ways and receive salvation.

May your soul be saved.

Amen

~My Starlight~

2008-06-05T18:38:00.005+08:00

She passed me by,
Caught my eye,
my phantom of delight.

Words cannot describe
her beauty in the night
Where angels seem to flutter
at the very sight

But yet
Many pass her by
Without realising
this beauty nearby

Why can't they see
What I see in her eyes.
That sparkles, that glitters
That shines too in thy eye

Her wisdom is unmatched
Her beauty beyond description

Who am I
That she is thine
Who am I
That she is mine

In glory, in honour
In sadness, in pain,
In joy and happiness
That there is one such as thee
Beside thou art always
Now and forevermore

I thank God for thee,
The every moment that I spend
with thee

I thank you always
My one, My only,
My Starlight

If I wrote this to the one whom I fell in love in the future, I hope her heart will melt XD

300th post!

2008-06-04T19:30:00.003+08:00

I had finally got down to doing some substantial work today with Damian and April down at my favourite Jurong East Library... We met about 9.45am outside and managed to squeeze and rush our way to victoriously get a table to work on! :P I still remember doing that for my sec. 4 life, going down there during my free time or during the hols to mug... Though it wasn't really much :)

I got down to doing some math and about 3 questions of GP as the two others began their discussion on Literature. Oh! How that brings memories of my favourite lit. class in Barker! I really miss the times we enacted the scenes with the various accents and all the fun we had! *sigh* But I guess, its time to move out of lit and do my econs which isn't so bad after all :P...

We went out for lunch after attempting some Chem at around 12+. After that, Damian had to leave as he was interviewing some great guy for his Written Report with Joy... Hmmm, wonder how she is doing.... HMmmmm... Anyways, I got back with April and did chem from 1 till about 3... Attempting to explain and make remembering the shapes for chemical bonding with April... I kinda failed... But with April's help, I tied up loose ends and it was quite good! XD We both did Energentics next and that left alot of ??s in our heads HAHA! :D

In the end, I didn't meet up with Esther as planned... She was on her way home as she didn't have her books... And since she sounded so tired on the phone, I thought I should just let her rest... So I went home after buying some stuff for sch :P

I feel mentally drained now ....

escapism

2008-06-03T15:51:00.003+08:00

We live in a world where well, reality kinda hits you in the face quite hard... And it doesn't really help that people nowadays are quite direct at it. I'm not typing this because I face this type of smiliar injustice (believe me, at least not today :P), rather I'm typing this in the joy of finding an path out of this pain we face.

We run away from it.

I mean, we all run away from problems big or small, sooner or later... Its just different ways of running away :P

I take the path of performing. The things we practice for and work hard as a group together can be really tiring but yet ironically... fun? I suppose being a performer for at least 11 years now has indeed placed in me a heart for performing. And God also placed in me a heart of worship... So giving praise to him is fun to me too :)

But when I mean running away, I meant to use this as an oppotunity to find back our lost strength and, come back to the problem.

Stronger

I felt like typing this out in view of all the recent musical concerts that have been going on... I really feel revived and ready to go back to work... Ok, after I have some of my own free time for fun 1st :P:P

Escape reality by living on stage

please dont stop the music!!

2008-06-01T08:45:00.006+08:00

Yes and I am finally back after a long braek of blogging... I mean seriously, this blog is next to dead if not for the occasional tags.. Thanks Joyce btw for putting some new tags on the blog :P...I had 'enCOre', a CO concert to be worried abt plus all the projects and work that I had to do before the holidays... SO that really kinda explains why I haven't really blogged in awhile.. So before I put loads and loads of pics down to sum up the whole experience all this time.. Wanna talk abt a few things...

Its been a real roller coaster trying to manage work and CCA together! Not to mention play of course.. Which makes things alot MORE difficult!! Cause I end up playing my PSP whenever I get home after CCA and THEN do my work... Which either gets undone, or I have to stay up BEYOND my bed-time to do it (which is 10 btw HAHA)... But I guess its really all worth it :P

'enCOre' wasn't really great in terms of the music we produced... *sigh* But what was indeed great was the friendships we made between one another... And well, the amount of people that were there to support us... I mean I got a flower in a performance the 1st time in my WHOLE LIFE LOL... But to all those who went down to support us or just to hear some good old CO music.. Well thanks man! And I hope you all enjoyed yourselves :P...

The next big thing was the CO camp! Which I thought would be quite boring cause we only had 4 days to plan it was J1s... But hey it was kinda fun esp on the 1st day with all the team bonding games!! Amazing race was less fun than expected.. But I did really learn alot more about the CO shops in Singapore! XD

Thanks to all the J1 who put all their effort in planning such a camp, esp lukas, peiyan, Irvin and Fu-en, it couldn't have become such a great success without all of you plus the J1s involved in the planning!!

Now, to talk about the most recent...*...Drumroll....* 'RESTLESS'! That day, I went out with Jia Hui, Cui Xia and Timonty beforehand to Settlers' cafe to like just catch up and play some games... it wasn't really too bad a place to go but I guess, the more people, the better? Cui Xia was a bit bored of the games so I promised her that I'll research more on the games next time before we go there again... I bet Jia Hui has the rest of all the details on her blog so GO check it out!

Then we went to have dinner and went on over to meet Chor Hao and Cammie and the bleachers in school to go watch... RESTLESS!! HAHAHAHA Obvivously... But anyway, it was a really great concert and I felt that the J2s dance was amazing even though we already watched it like 4 times already :P...

I wanna learn how to dance man!!!!!

But anyway, without further ado, I will post the pics...

'enCOre'

'CO Camp!! :D'

Restless :P

Tell me last time I've blogged...

2008-05-06T18:03:00.003+08:00

Haha, yup its been THAT long... And with all the work swaming in... I'm just trying to juggle everything so that I can have fun too with the little amount of time I have...

My OG is like not really talking much cause we dont really meet each other nowadays and I guess they all should be happy with the classes they're in now... :( I kinda miss them...

My Ex-Class is still talking to each other quite often... I do miss them dearly as we were such a great class together... :( But that doesn't mean I dislike my current class :D

I mean Look at them! Such a lively bunch huh! :D It makes my day in school a whole lot better :)... But still that doesn't allow me to escape from reality as NOW I have to go do GP work... So I'll blog more some time (Hopefully) Soon :D

Chinese New Year

2008-02-10T10:50:00.000+08:00

Well... Guess I was only able to take out some time during this festive season to blog a post after such a long time XD... Sorry for the long wait to all the people who ACTUALLY visit the blog :P:P...

Well, its the end of the festive season and I collected less money than last year :(... But well, Money isn't everything right? LoL... And as I spend my free time these few days resting, playing some mahjong and chatting up with my cousins... I look and surf other blogs to also realise that... 19th Feb is coming up... And most likely unlike the general population, little old me has to appeal... :(:( Major sad... ESP. I forgot to print out my verfication slip and don't have a copy of it... Genius huh? So pray for me as I attempt to get a copy of it from MOE or smth like that... :P

But I thought instead of posting of my Chinese new year experience... I thought of posting about the AC experience...

I mean PEOPLE!! This is the first time in my whole LIFE I got into my 1st CHOICE!! LIKE THANK GOD :D... But of course when we first entered ACJC, though it was like our dream JC... We were like... really really anti-social... Is it because of our new environment? The people around us? It could be any of these or... Actually all of these factors :P.. But somehow, we all opened up and got to know each and everyone of us better :):)... So, I guess before the 19th of Feb...... I'll post some thanks to all of you, maybe also in view of valentines' day?? LOL o.o HAHA

So, first up we have.... (Will blog abt three people a day.. OR MORE XD)

JOANNE!! (Oh and P.S... Sorry for all the UNGLAM pics I took XDXD) Well, basically, I didn't know her till like the second day of orientation and we started talking because of... Mass dance XD... Well, as you can tell already.. we all DONT make GREAT dancers... So... I think you can all guess what the convo was about... HAHA... But after that, I think I've met a great sister in chirst... And she is just like anyone I've met in Angora, open to talk and I think if she was actually in our church, Our mass convos would be like... Non-stop talking HAHA... So, hopefully I'll stay in AC as you predicted so that I wont have to worry so much XD

Next up is....

The RV people, namely, Cen Hui and Hui Xuan :P... Fun-loving bunch of people and they stick like GLUE... I remember the first time we all actually talked was the fact that I was kinda freaked out when Hui Xuan took Cen hui by the hand and pulled her to the toliet and spent like about 15 mins in there.... So I was like, "Ok...." LOL... But I sincerely meant that as a joke... Well, they like to talk alot (I think its a girl's thing) and love to play truth or dare XD... But they're going NJ... So well, here's wishing you all the best in whatever you do :D

And finally we have....

Fecilia! Well, if you hear from Wen Xin that I always stick around a girl... Well, I think she is most likely referring to her... Well, the part about her being a girl is true (hopefully XD) But the part about me sticking to her is SO WRONG... Anyways, I thought she was like punk, attitude girl who like was the enemy to the world when I first saw her... Which was also kinda freaky... But slowly as I got to know her, realise that she is quite nice... (Though on the verge of being EMO LOL (hint. the EMO notebook :P:P))... Takes the exact same combi as me (Explains why you see me with her most of the time) and plays the bass (Psstt.. Matt, this is Tims replacement for you in the chapel band @ ACJC)... Well, thanks for all the times talking with you and having fun!!

Well, thats it for today!! See you all soon :P

Lectures...

2008-01-19T21:24:00.000+08:00

Hey people.... My week was still all lectures... REALLY SO SIANZ... Chem's ok... Bio is also ok.. Econs is real BORING and IRRITATING because of the lecturer :( who spends 3 lectures introducing econs... AND ALWAYS STARTS LECTURES WITH Q&A... :(... Happy with ponning Maths though :P... Cause its really boring and I've already done all the qns... XD

My friends kinda agree with me that lessons are a REAL BORE!

Oh, I got my new class too!! AND I'm with 3 of my OG mates and Tims :P!!

Will post pics next time!! TILL THEN

The year 2008 :)

2008-01-12T08:22:00.000+08:00

Hey yo people! My first post of the year 2008 I think :P...

Well, its been a BLAST SERIOUSLY!! ACJC has been great, not because of the school itself but because of the people in it :D! I thank God for my OG: Sepoy of Joaquim which OWNS!! Most enthu group with our OWN SELF MADE CHEERS LIKE WOAH... BE IN AWE MAN HAHA... Would like to thank my OGLs Rox, Chole and Mark :P for spending precious time in their J2 year to come and help out with our dance steps XD And YES we know we cant dance very well... BUT THANKS SO MUCH...

I would like to thank my OG... (Not the part where you all ELECTED me as an OG rep... HAHA) You guys are fantastic! Always enthu.. And together unlike some other Ogs... You guys rock!!

ALL THE BEST FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK!!

P.S. OG outing's date will come out sooon :):)

Well.. Another day

2007-12-28T21:09:00.000+08:00

Yo people.. Had an outing with my P6 friends today.. It wasn't really that great.. But well, I really got to catch up with some of the people that I've lost contact for just too long...

And after all these years, I realised that some things about people just don't change at all... Its just like what I've been told.. People change, but some things of them just don't, no matter how hard they try..

And Well, I guess, I still can't bring myself to like and appreciate all the people I deem as 'friends'.. But hey, we're all human right? So I guess thats fine :)

Well, I'll continue with my Heroes now XD! post again sometime soon...

I hope :)

Christmas eve :P

2007-12-24T09:24:00.000+08:00

Oh and before I leave..

2007-12-21T21:10:00.001+08:00

Just one more thing....
We're all at Crossroads now.. Though we'll always come face to face with all these crossroads in this long path in life... One thing's for sure

No matter how old we'll be, there'll be or loved ones with us always :):)

Merry Christmas!!

Worship

2007-12-21T21:10:00.000+08:00

Oh I almost forgot... I loved doing worship!! Though it was my first time leading and stuff.. And it was really REALLY stressful... I guess when you're on stage, everything just comes of you.. And God does all the rest...

Now, the thank you list...

Thanks firstly to God, cause if he wasn't there to begin with, the whole thing would have been SUPER meaningless and BAD... But he was there and took over everything.. Which by the way was great :):)

Thanks to Daniel and Jeremy for the advice of leading... Esp on Amazing Grace.. Now that was difficult.. Oh and daniel if you're reading this, I wanna go take vocal lessons man... XD

Jo for the SWEET electric guitar Skillz... Which filled in all the GAPS I felt when I was worshipping all the time in angora.. Plus, the intro for All for love... Amazing... It brought the song alot more meaning... To me at least

Matt, for all the nice fill-ins... It was great man, bring up the songs to climax and down again to a soft and less dramatic kinda volume.. All because of drums and you!! The Bass!! And the song list we thought up together... Nice

Audrey, for reaching all the high notes I could never reach in MY LIFE HAHA... It was also cool that you learnt all the new songs in three practices :P...

WenXin, for all the good entrances for ME... I know, sometimes I don't really come in on time and stuff esp during practices.. But you always gimme the right cue with the look on your face HAHA XD... I esp loved the panio for Open the eyes in the chorus.. It really brought out the kind of vibracy I wanted from the song... Though I didn't really tell it to you :P...

And pracitically Everyone esle who was there.. to worship the Lord!!

So might blog again laterz... Till then...

A new skin..

2007-12-21T20:53:00.000+08:00

Well, I thought its time to change a skin... Just like changing one's appearence once in awhile.. And I know I haven't blogged in ages and stuff like that.. But if you do wanna ask me anything about my trips or camps... Feel free to ask since most likely I won't be blogging about them..

2007... Definitely a year to remember.. With all the people I've known and new friends I've made.. Bonds re-affirmed this year.. It is a year worth my memories...

There is a few things I wanna mention about the year that has flown by so quickly now that I look back on it.. Though it has been tough on all of us as the sec 4 batch of the school.. I think that the year has made me learn that through tough times, the bonds between friends grow stronger and last longer.. Sure we do have our misunderstandings and stuff.. But what comes out victorious in the end - .... Our friendships :)

I pretty much guess we all have messed up lives with loads of problems... Sometimes only we ourselves and God knows... But its because of friends that we can look beyond that to see the beautiful side of life I guess... When was the last time we sat down just for the purpose of enjoying the wind.. Or the last time we took a walk with a good friend just to admire the scenery? We tend to look past it all in our daily lives due to the work and stuff and get easily fustrated and angry.. Yet again we ask ourselves "Why?".

Friends have always been there for ALL of us.. No matter if we realise it or not.. When it seems that there is no one there for you at a critical period of time, it doesn't mean that your friend doesn't care about you? We are all human, and sometimes we can't make it to be there for you all the time when you truly need us.. But friends really do care about each other and not use this bonds they have just for fun or to prove to others that they have A SOCIAL CIRCLE!! They are more than that...

And I have alot to thank for.. For the friends, the family and God of course... And that is why I picked this skin..

Each of us are unique... Definitely different from one another... That is the beauty of creation.. The beauty of the work of God :)

guys are jerks.. a re-look at that

2007-12-01T20:06:00.000+08:00

Well, this was adapted from an interesting post on Joyce's blog.. Which well was quite true, to a certain extent... At first I wanted to type about Eygpt.. But this was more interesting, so I thought I'll post about this first...

Truth about people
(As I'll like to look at it...)

guys are jerks
I mean there's a jerk in every guy
I'm I wrong?

Every person has two sides
a good and of course a bad
like yin and yang

In our lives,
people see all our sides
and we do things that we regert
in relationships, in our own very lives

In BGRs, most of the time
guys ARE the ones who don't know what they want
Esp since girls mature faster than us, guys
we then to act more immature
without knowing what the consequences
our actions will bring

But we are all on a search
of that someone who knows us
And if it doesn't work out
should we stay on?

Thats what guys thing when they
get bored of a girl
well, not all the guys of course

But these most of the time are excuses
for us guys to find new gfs...

True, or not?

To me, yes it is

We are all people searching
for someone esle to fill
the gap in our hearts, right?
And when we do find someone
we try our best to mantian a wonderful relationship

Of course at this age
our relationships are bulit on weak foundations
and the relationship would most likely end
all very soon

Not many would last,
Now thats the truth

We all tend to things to save the relationship
Shoot good friends who might end up
in a relationship with the exs

And many many other stupid things...

But..

We're all growing up,
so I guess..

We'll just have to get up and try again, growing from experience

Thats why, I don't plan to have a relationship anytime soon... Which I think its quite good... Will have alot more time to do the stuff I want :)

Will be back from Egypt on Snuday 4pm-4.30.... So cya all then!

:)

Egypt

2007-11-24T00:01:00.000+08:00

Hey people.. Since I was able to use a com here in Cario... I thought I'll post abit onEgypt before I run off to catch a train to go off to Luxor.... And Aswan... But here's how it is....

We arrived here on the 21th in Cario time and rested for like a day... The hotel ran out of rooms.. So.......... We got one of the only vacant rooms left.... The Predidential SUITE XD... So, it was like one nite of WOAH-ness before we had to move off to a normal room the next morning... More details and pics when I get back...

Then, we went out on the 1st day and it was like a history lesson the whole day about Egypt which I thoroughly enjoyed!! Learnt a comprehensive lesson on the Old, middle and New kingdoms of Egypt.. Reiligous beliefs which also included the basics of Islam and the main concepts plus the Five pillars of Islam that is needed to follow for each muslim... Managed to grasp some of the hiroglypics and learnt what my name was... It was supposed to mean a boy of purity, with a longing to learn and gain knowledge plus a brave man... (Ok, mostly true except the BRAVE part is just SO wrong.... XDXD)..

I also learnt about the origins of Yu-gi-oh! And about the boy king that resembled Yugi in the Japanese Anime... Its like looking at all the monsters in those really old stone tablets... WOAH...

Today, we went to the pryamids and admired the work of them... Sat on a camel for the first time today and it was kinda scary!!! But kinda got used to it... Oh, and we also went into one of the three famour pryamids which had a really small entrance and it was really tiring as we all had to bend down and walk for 30m.. (Well, it isn't that long.. But since the entrance was only 1 m tall... We had to bend down all the way which WAS Tiring MIND YOU XD)...

Well,... Will get into the details when I have the chance in the future... Gotta run and catch a train..

Til next time :P

The end of a chapter

2007-11-21T12:26:00.001+08:00

Today was the kinda day where you sit back, and practically do nothing... Its the kinda of day where you practically sit back and feel the cool wind blowing on your face and just think about all the things you could possibly think of...

Thats why I love the end-of-year holidays! Cool and refreshing...

The past week has been really eventful with grad nite and outings everyday filling all my schedules... It was only today that I've remained home for practically the whole day... Well, at least until I need to depart for the airport later to head on to Cario...

Ok, so lets start with Grad nite. As you can see in all my pics below... It was a fun and engaging nite... I was like super high and happy too since it was the day we ended our Os (the 13th of Nov.)... Of course there was Alex who tried to dampen my spirits and piss me off on such a nice day... But ah well, I pushed my emotions aside and continued having a really great night! There was really loads of laughter and some really lame jokes by the emcee and some attempts by bin soon... Which was like really... cold XD... But it ended up as a great nite!

The next experience I had was being part of te ACJC CO!! Its been awhile since I've played my instrument but I still managed to smoke through the practice when we were invited for practice the very next day after grad nite... There was a shocking surprise audition... Which felt me with cold sweat all over especially my hands!! Ah well... I guess other than being owned by a Nan Hua guy with a grade 9 (highest grade?!) song... I think I did alright... I also got to know my seniors in the practice on sat. and actually had fun in CO!! Looks like I shoud be joining CO if I enter ACJC!! : )

Class party was right after CO practice on sat, and I also enjoyed myself a bunch : )!! THe food was great... The mahjong was fun... And I got to catch up with some of my other friends in class!!

I won't really get into detail with everything I did in the past week... Cause it would really be a long long post... But since I'm already here typing.. I thought I'll make this post longer since I might not be typing for another 10-11 days.. So here goes...

The year has been long and tiring... Though it does hold many fond memories for me... Taking the time now I have to think back.. Excluding sec 1.. Wow, I've really enjoyed my time I've spent in ACS (BR)... The friends I've made, the things I've did in secondary school... All have been a blast... And I've changed much since primary school and thanks to all the people around me, I've seen God at work!! I might not be the smartest of people and there are indeed many more smarter than me but, all my friends made me feel important! And so thanks for all that!

I think there was only one person I didn't really like in secondary school... Whic was Alex.. And well, if you're reading this, just wanted to let you know.. What you did to me well, if you thought it was funny, then well at least it made you happy. But to me, I really haven't seen the better side of you yet.. So, if I do say anything really hurting or insulting to you.. You can't really blame me right? But well, I hope that if we do continue to meet each other in JC, hope that you'll stop doing this kinda of things to me... Like stop insulting would be a good start followed by stop pushing me around, physically? Ya..

To sum the whole year up to a picture and a few words...

Its been fun and AMAZING!

Now, my future awaits.. What will it hold?? But I know though I am weak.. There'll be my family and friends to help me out when I'm in need!!

Now... OFF TO CARIO!!

See you all when I'm back on the 2th dec...

[Written by Switchfoot]

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only YoursI
pray to be only Yours
I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

The guy's version is switchfoot and the female version is the one sang by Mandy Moore... Enjoy this in the midst of the Os... :'(..

The only hope for us to get thru Os...

Prelims are over.. And practically 29 more days to go for the Os.

2007-09-23T08:34:00.000+08:00

Ok its a bit scary now, with only 29 more days to cover.... Well everything esle... But with people like Irvin and Daniel Wang who actually show you how MUCH they mugg.. Obvivously you'll do the same... However, unlike them, I cut some slack and still meet friends out to play some UNO HAHA XD... Talk about the lives of us sec.4 man... But all's still fine with revision.. I've got most of bio covered, History about 3 chapters... Chem is fine... Physics is starting... Doing SBQs for SS and most likely history soon... English needs some practice + CHinese too though I'm not really interested to do the two... but hey! Will get started soon.... And of course, how can I forget about my two maths! But no worries, been practising that everyday....

Oh and got back all my prelims alr.... So this is how it goes:

B3 for english Which is a MAJOR YAY! Cause we actually do very badly in school for english... So I hope I can get an A2 for eng at the Os...

B3 for Bio.... HAHA well, what can I say? Study more?

B4 for Lit? XD Never study also B4.. HAHA so mugg SSH and SS?? Who knows?

A1 for Chinese :)... Keep it up :P

A1 for Chem!! Looks like all the studying and practicing paid off real good :)..

A1 for Emaths! Practicing for emaths really pushed it from a 5 to a 1 XD...

A2 for combine Humanities! I hope can get 2 or 1 at Os...

A2 for Amaths! Though I wanted a 1.. But 2 is... AMAZING! HAHA

A2 for Physics!! Like O.0 How can I get 2 for physics... Its like my 1st physics A in my upper secondary life XD

So thats a L1R5 a 10 and L1R4 a 8 :P....

Praise to be GOD'S!!

Back to muggg now....

Holidays :)

2007-09-05T20:58:00.000+08:00

Well, its been 3 days into the hols... Both my parents are out of town so its me and auntie at home... Spent my day with Irvin mugging today which was relativitely quite good... Did like 1 1/2 amaths papers... some bio and chem too for about 2h 50 mins... Though it was really noisy in the lvl 5 teenage section in the jurong library :P...

Well, haven't have much mood to mug... But I think I should really get to it like after this post... Cause it seems that I'm starting to forget some stuff from my subjects... So with only46 days till the big Os... That isn't really comforting.. But with friends like Irvin that finished all his papers for the holidays... He really helps to put quite a bit of pressure on you....

Talking about that, I guess its time for me to hit the books and get back where I left off in the afternoon.. Or maybe I'll study some chinese 1st :P....

P.S. Brought Saviour King today by Hillsongs... And its quite good... Those who come and read, you all should be buy it :)

Exams are... OVER

2007-08-29T16:15:00.000+08:00

THATS IT!! Its the end of the prelims!! WOOHOO!! Well.. It has been a hard time... But its over.. well for now...

Watching D Grayman anime series which is indeed quite interesting... Also picked up a few books to read and help me with my lifestyle which talks about how to cope with learning disabilites and stuff like that... And also improve my englisg too at the same time!! XD...

GOing back to Nan Hua on friday! See ya then to all Nan Hua seniors!!

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!!!

Another week..

2007-08-27T11:52:00.000+08:00

Well, its been awhile since I last posted... Alot of stuff lately... With all the papers and stuff like that... Well, getting real tired of all this.. And to add things up... I've just pissed my mom off cause of a passing remark I've made...

I mean, yes ok maybe I was making a passing comment and since it came out like an insult.. My intention of it was like a joke... So shouldn't parents understand things and accept things easier once you explain things to them... Well, So I said sorry and stuff... But I was termed 'ungrateful' for ignoring the fact that she was sick and still came to pick me and went in and out of the carpark with me due to lunch and what I wanted for lunch... But I didn't say those things for that purpose... And as you can see... Obvivously she hasn't accepted that explanation...

So I've gotta a question to ask...

What does it take to be that good person that your paretns always wanted you to be? I mean I've really tried very hard and being both myself and a good person... But still, I get critised for things sometimes I don't mean.. I didn't do those things intentionally sometimes and I'm sorry to my parents as it seems insulting to them... But why after an explanation.. They don't understand?

I just wish they wouldn't look more at my wrongs and just be a bit more understanding sometimes to the wrongs that I made un-intentionally...

(P.S. though saying all this.. I don't mean my parents are bad as a whole.. *sigh*)

@ Crossroads

2007-08-17T11:19:00.000+08:00

@ Crossroads.. We all go different paths just to be united agian :)

Well, it has been a week of Exams... Its been ok.. History and SS was only Ok... THough I felt it was not as good as my previvous ones... :(... Chem was great!! At first I thought I screwed it up.. But after checking the answers on the notice board... I was XD... HAHA Then came english which was not that bad as well... Bio Was SCREWED HAHA Cause I checked all the answers and mine was just... XD... But Physics was Super FUNNY... When they ask us to open our papers.. It was like all past years O lvl qns.. HAHA But still abit difficult.. But might be seeing my 1st physics A1 HAHA

Ok.. gtg :P

Ok... Resting at 5 days..

2007-08-08T08:42:00.000+08:00

Well, this morning I'm not really that motivated to study... So maybe later... Since yesterday I've just been playing to get that stress level down.. You know what they say... You can't ALWAYS Study... Although I know some WHO can... But nope that ain't for me...

Ok lets look at where I stand now...

History and SS for the 1st paper isn't really that great... But if my plan goes well... It should be good...

Bio is cool... Now just to remember the stuff on mirco-organisms..

CHem is too... Just need to remember all the catalyst and the table for tests with NaOH and NH3...

Physics is looking better... :P Though stilll have some work to do :P

the maths are cool... A bit more careful is all I need...

Lit... Well, study? HAHA

Ya, tts abt it... Time for breakfast then plaY!!

Ok... Its 8..no wait 7 days to prelims

2007-08-05T20:44:00.000+08:00

Well, today was fun and all :)... I was like having a little study in the morning but was not really motivated to study much.. So DIDN'T and ended playing for 2 hrs HAHA...

Church today was great with sermon being rather nice and worship was ok.. Though the guys behind me were a bit nosiy, but I guess it comes with the age and that they were not really interested with the topic anyways... Sunday school was great with the fact that Ximin was leading today.. So he was like... consize and to the point... But I think he'll be a great person to discuss 'deep' questions with... and I kinda like relating to him and I guess Jo and Matt do too :P... Maybe we'll suggest that we just do discussions on some topics and see how it goes..

What ya say guys?? Anyway gotta go and get some rest.. OR some study before I rest... *sigh*... Prelims is really getting to me... Hope I can do well...

Working...

2007-08-04T16:43:00.000+08:00

Ok.. Been mugging alot more lately... Maybe its exam stress.... But other than sleep counting from yesterday.. I've only had about 4 hours of rest... HAHAHA talk about how time files when you're mugging.. OR NOT...

Well, been doing some lit... Though not hard core mode yet... Errmmm... History still going fine... SS is ok... Physics alot more effort has been put in... A maths too... Emaths also... Chem and Bio is COOL... And well, now NIgel officially = NO LIFE since my parents even asked me to STUDY LESS TODAY... So I decided to take some time off to blog...

Well, just really tired and stuff like that... NOthing much to blog.. So maybe MORE tommorrow...

See ya

DPA sucessful?

2007-08-01T15:12:00.000+08:00

Well... Waiting for a call to interview but haven't recieved one yet... When two others in my class alr did... Which kinda sucks... But who knows I'll just wait and see....

Well, today school was rather empty since sec 1-3 had e-learning and all... So we were WOOHOO!! No long ques during recess!... So at assembly today, we had this 'wake-up call' speech by our prinicpal to like Study since its only 12 days away to Prelims...

Sigh, guess thats my que to go study... But ya, all the best to the rest of the people studying... Oh and...

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY MATTHEW ONG

Motivation? HAHA

2007-07-31T19:36:00.000+08:00

Was kinda movtivated today to study.. Maybe because its only like about 13 days to Prelims... I studied or like at least read thru 4-5 chapters on bio.. And most likely some emaths later on... Well, the stress or tanking season has not really got to me yet... BUT I do feel the tension in the class as all those people who keep yaking and yaking really gets to my nerves... But of course... I've been cool abt it.. No shouting yet..

Ok, lets see...

Bio's ok

Lit is kinda un-touched...

History's going fine...

SS is also going fine...

Amaths is ok too.. Though a bit more practice is encouraged...

Emaths needs practice...

Physics is SCREWED... But better now due to practice... HELP IN PHYSICS NEEDED...

Cheminstry is cool... Just studied the chps I was weak in.. So should be better...

So thats about it.... Well, I'll stop here and get back to work... Bye

Some de-stressing tactic...

2007-07-30T16:33:00.000+08:00

Well, now with all this pressure of prelims in about I dunno.... 14 days... Its defintely getting to me and the class... But I guess I'm on track although lets see... Physics is well.. Dead? Bio and chem's been cool.... lit is kinda bad but still ok... History and ss been great :)... Emaths transformation and amaths.. well, in general? HAHA... So guess more work on my side...

Studying on a daily basis is well... Tiriing? Ya and today's english oral wasn't so great though I had learnt alot from Miss fong and had some fun... My marks, well... :(... HAHA but Nevermind... Now more prepared for O lvl oral... I think next time I'll just go to her for english help :).... And because of you know, to help my english out.. I've decided to blog a bit more... HAHA also to de-stress anyways...

Well, for those out there preparing for SPA... God bless!! Cause ACS boys all SPA-ing so we already finished!! So revision all the way...

Oh and if you're looking at this post, I NEED HELP WITH PHYSICS... AHH.... So anyone if you're free... COME HELP ME...

Anyway, make a move first.... Bye :P

kinda getting used to it...

2007-07-24T18:30:00.000+08:00

Well, haven't been blogging recently cause well... BEEN LAZY TOO... but anyways, its been an eventful two weeks...

Well, school has been either laughs or zzzzzz mood cause most of the time we are in the air-con and we kinda joke alot to keep the stress off.. Of course with only 2 1/2 weeks left to Preilms.. Well, people, it ain't looking good :(... Of course, I do enjoy the opportunity to study :) But only a few of the subjects to me are really worth studying... However, I do force myself sometimes to study those 'other' subjects cause they are deproving due to constant neglect.... *sigh**sigh* I guess if MAtthew came to read the blog, he would be 'yaaaaaa maaaaannnnnn...' Since he is kinda worse off then me NOW due to D&T... Ouch.. But well ALL THE BEST MATTHEW AND JOACHIM FOR YOUR D&T!!

Ok, recently was performing with Matt and the band for the perfects' investiture... Well, I was like a kinda extra person there cause there were like two pro singers there already and they didn't kinda need me... + I have kinda bad pitching... But it all turned out fine... And the usual happened which was me being called like an extra.. BUT HEY... IT WAS GREAT TO PRAISE GOD!! For the exact amount of people there to watch, go look at matts blog... He even has the pic :P... Well, it was the last performance I had with the band and I'm going to miss that experience I had with them :)....

Also on that note on missing people... There is alot of people taking their leave for overseas study which is kinda sad for me... Esther was the first one to leave... I still kinda miss her when I'm not studying just thinking about how I spent my sermon time teaching and having so much fun learning and playing TOO!! :) Those were the days :P... Though so, I still know that on that side of the world she is like kinda on a path to her dreams so that thought motivates me to spur on in my studies :)... Amanda and Celena were next to go for their UNI education... It was kinda sad to me since I really kinda liked talking to Celena and Amanda (although talking to Amanda was actually most of the time online...)... But I was starting to drift away from celena anyway... So did it really matter to me that much?

I mean, adulthood brings about much more work than I, as a teenager could possibly fathom... Or so I presume... Cause for most of the young adults I know and converse with.. Well, they're usually busy and kinda hang in their own clicks most of the time... Of course I would not really generalised all the young adults... But hey, personal experience with the few I know kinda ended up like this... So... Maybe it was all meant to be?? Or maybe just in my case...

Something came to my mind when I thought of this... And is something I study in Lit which is kinda true for me... I dunno about you but here's how it goes...

Law of seperation in life starts right from our mother's womb as we detach ourselves from it to enter this world... As we meet and greet our loved ones, friends or family, bfs or gfs... We come together only to be apart, all in due time... Most of our lives struggle and misery comes from the attempt to deny the very existance of this.. Yet.. It is undeniable... the only person who will really stay with you for all of our lives and beyond- the one who would finally unify us all- is only God... And Death is the passage way to this utopia..

Is not that I wanna sound cheem or anything.. But this is what I really feel...

I really wanna have a sibling somehow...

Talk abt long...

2007-07-06T20:07:00.000+08:00

Long time NO update that is... Well, what was there great to update anyways? Sec 4 life= Mundane... Well, trying to get use to a routined lifestyle of Studying, eating sleeping and THANK GOD, using the COM... If not, it would really be BORING... Oh wellz... What to do... I have not really started mugging HARD yet... But mugging is in action... :( I need help for E maths...

Well, My parents kinda did some house cleaning while they asked me to like study... -.- and they kinda found my old keyboard (electone)... So they like asked me to keep it and like play with it?? HAHA.. So, now my free time that I have is also used to pick up the keyboard... Well, I'm off to a good start since I've learnt how to play chords.. Though my chord changing sucks... But learning the keyboard has given me a wider picture of a kinda full band sound... Imagine if I had learnt to play the drums... Hmmmm... Then I would be really PRO... HAHA

But this has once agian shown me my love for music... :) It really kills all the boredom I have... Though once I stop playing and look at the books... It kinda just doesn't work out for me to go back studying XD...

Well, ALL THE WAY MAN...

About 130 days from Os
About 30 days to Prelim

Why do I wanna know all this?? AHHHHHHH I'm DEAD

updatin'...

2007-06-13T20:35:00.000+08:00

Its been awhile since I like updated... What can I say? Its been boring... Well, until recently with the bbq and stuff :)... So, matt ask me to post about youth worship and stuff.. So here is what I will say to him :

Go to the group's BLOG man..!! Its all there... Cause Jo said it all! Except for the part where he think he was bad, thats what I would have wrote...

Anyway, I will talk about the bbq.. It was a real blast and all.. The new people were kinda Coolz... And very easy to mix around too.. But you know us guys... Always doing the work on the very spot.. So, I didn't really talk much to them... Maybe youth fellowship meeting? :)... Sounds good :):)

And all the girls were like Super high that day... All random laughters by most girls... ESP Jeanette and Victoria.... Its like modern girls really know how to entertian themselves real well... Angela's "Songz" Taught by Annabel... WHich until I so DON'T GET lol.... and well the smoke from the BBQing might have might them high :P... Well BBQing for the guys was a blast... Matt as "NOT- SO- FAT satay man" and all the fire-starting and serving was actually quite interesting as we were working most of the time... Quite enjoyable actually :P...

Well, next time we are doing a mass event agian... Its gonna be Captian's ball... Or pot-luck, AIRCON WOOHOO!!

:P

Boring...

2007-05-25T21:03:00.000+08:00

Its truly been Boring for today and the previvous week... And look at my next week's schedule... (*peers into oragniser...*) It ain't goin' to be pretty... Be at least there is something to be comforted by... CHURCH GROUP STAY-OVER on the 30TH OF MAY!! WOO-HOO!!

However I have Chinese on Mon (Scared), Physics and Chem SPA on tues and wednesday respectively.... (Ouch)... So, looking at all these + The amount of revision I have put in for chinese in the past week... I decided to take most of today off!! (YAY!!) Which ended up in mainly the guitar, my com and Lots of sleep!! :) So, I have left the night for Chinese... Looking at the clock now, I think I'll roughly put in another hour or so... But If I can't sleep... Thats another situation.

The year, as I look at it has really been passing fast... I mean I was only a moment ago that I finished my mid years and now... Look, its Chinese 'O' lvls... Even though its been only like 2 1/2 weeks... I haven't felt like I have rested enough yet... Maybe because studying even after the mid years for the SPAs that have been happening all the way until the 30th of may made me feel this way...

There are many things I wanna do this year.. Having a balanced time with studies, friends and GOd +family have not been exactly great... Studies has the majority time... And most of my time spent with friends are in tution centres... Which is not really healthy :P... Well, Family's been doing fine... Since I can't raelly be with them All the time... Like say I have to study for a certian exam... Even though I am studying half-way, if like mom wants to go out to buy some stuff home to cook... I would go accompany her since I don't really have much time for the family...

O levels makes students have practically no life...

I'm just looking forward to the June holidays....

Wait, what June holidays?

Exams are over.. But Os?

2007-05-20T08:49:00.000+08:00

SPAing recently has been ok... But getting my results weren't well.. Ideal? Should I say? But I thank God that was not any worse..

THe stats this year before we got back our papers...

1 out of 2 failed Chem O.0

Majority failed Amaths

30% of the standard failed ENGLISH?!

Majority did badly for physics

Bio.. Well many needed marks to pass

Lit has only A1 from our class :P

So with all these, I was like O.0 SUPER SCARED.. But there was like nothing I could do to prevent it anyway...

And when I went to collect my results... I thank God there were no F9s on my results (YAY) However an average of 4s and 5s???? LOL So this is what I got....

English: 59% HAHA At least I did not fail english C5

Amaths: LOADS of careless mistakes but loads of method marks gave me a C5 and a 8% improvement for last year YAY

Emaths: BIG DISAPPIONTMENT... I never practiced and got a C5... Hitting the maths for june hols man...

Chinese: WOO HOO!! This was really comforting... A1!

Chem: B4? LoL... I studied but maybe not enough I guess...

Physics: SO VERY SURPRISING! It was even better than my chem!! WOW A B3 I didn't even understand it at first.. I guess spending the MOST time on a subject really works!

Bio: Thanks the tution.. A2!!!!!!! But it was such a waste cause I miss A1 by 1 mark!! Oh well... Mug more for Perlims?

Lit: Well, need more time on understanding my text.,. B4 :p

Combined humanities: Hist REALLY ROCKED! 35/50!! But cause SS spotted wrong qn,.. I thought overall I was going to fail.. But by God's grace I got full marks for only the one question I did for SEQ (28/50)and got a B4 overall!! WOW

So, my L1 R5 you ask?

L1: C5

1 science: 2

1 maths or humanities: 4

1 maths or science or humanities: 3

Best other 2 subjects: 1, 4

Total: 5+2+4+3+1+4 = 19 pts!!

SO more mugging for me... Anyway, gotta go now and start my day off with Chinese... SEE YA

ITS OVER

2007-05-13T07:01:00.001+08:00

YO people! Its been awhile.... I actally been awhile since I posted thus making the blog REALLY dead... But thats also because blogger does not allow me to post?? WHY?! So I had to re-edit one post to update my blog....

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! WOOHOO... though I dun know if I'll do well.... HAHA but well can't really worry about that since I have yet again, O lvl practicals and O lvl CHINESE EXAMS!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... So our school is going on both chinese and science intensive both IN school hours and AFTER school hours.... Who knows? 5 hours Chinese?? *faints*..... Well, buck Chinese REP!! I can do this...

Captian's ball, anyone? I really wanna play captian's ball :'(.....

Well, let's see what esle has happen in the week... Friday was last day of exams... YAY!! And to me it was a combination of 5hrs of XBOX and 1hr of Mahjong with the Barker Boys! HAHA I won 2/6 of the mahjong games ok?? HAHAHA THAT OWNS!!!

Bio class yesterday was fun... WHen Lam went to toliet... Vassensa and Bel told me that he 'touched a female student' so ask all the other girls to be wary... At first, I thought maybe a bit wary of Mr lam, since he was the bio author and all... Then he took so long in the toliet that even cheryl from Cedar ask me to go 'Check it out'... I was like MAJOR LOL..> WHAT IF HE WAS GAY?! HAHAHA... But anyway, when he came back, I too grew a bit wary of him... Cause he always stop the lesson and like talk to the girls... And even time he went raelly close to like say Debbie or vassensa... I would like ask him about a question... So, everybody felt very werid... But because of that, we were laughing most of the time HAHAHA!!

Then amaths was just like doing work for... 2hrs? Talking to the girl Yuting about her new boyfriend... And then when I got scolded, I moved over to talk to Caderina about her like fashion and stuff... LOL, then we all started smelling a really strong perfume which gave most of us a headache... Which was from none other than Caderina who can't smell it herself.. LOL... We were like 'Whatttttttt......?"

It was a super fun day!!

Ok, O lvls HERE I COME!!!

Day off tommorrow... TO mug?

Well... Its been a tiring day... Never really sleep well... I think I drank too much coffee yesterday afternoon.... Never really sleep in the night... Then the papers today.. Actually were still ok...

Sunday. I had like a basH! It was really FUN! I had my final FINAL sunday school with my P5 & P6 batch.. And we were hardcore freeze-and-melt.. Running like MAD... HAHA...

And being in Angora.. Its been something worth remembering... Knowing God.. And the people he placed around me... The guys and girls... Of course some friendships have gone stale.. But some are strong and un-breakable....

We didn't have youth sunday class cause there was only Matt and Me soloing... So, we decided to do some catching up with each other... And it was a really good talk..

You know, that talk made me think about certain things... Why to certain individuals, the relationship fades as time passes... Whereas to others, especially for the guys I know, it does not fade away... I remember I used to be quite close with a few people... But since they are all older than me... They are all busy most of the time after awhile... And we stop talking all together... Which to me is really such a waste... But what can I do?

Sometimes, we cherish things only after we lost them... So why don't we cherish them now?

Mugging...

2007-04-28T09:04:00.000+08:00

Well... Exams just started and I realised that I haven't update for a long.. So decided to update today before I start mugging again... Well...

I had my first paper on thurs which was the beautiful CHINESE!! LoL... I think my paper 1 not so good.. But Paper 2 should be able to pull up the marks :)

On friday, I had my English paper 1 which I felt was not too well done.. But Oh well,.... Can't really help it :P... But Lit paper was like WOOHOO!! FUN :P.... I was praying for the paper to be on themes cause I studied themes... And it came out FOR ESSASY!!! THANK YOU GOD!! So LoL....

Then I went out with Matthew to extreme MUGGING mode... We had lunch and all and went youth hub to study... So we started with Maths... Which was quite LoL... Cause both Matthew and me quite blur at first... But we got used to the questions XD... Then we took our 2 hr break at 5.30pm and went to watch worship practice at lvl 2... Then we continued at 6 pm... But was not really productive since both of us came to the conclusion that humanities mug by yourself better.. So we ended testing each other the chapters coming out for SEQ... Matt is the Cold War Guy and I'm the Nazism kinda person and we both tried to master China.. Obvivously China was not so successful but will study it again later... But at 7.30pm we decided to go back to maths... Then at 8pm, Jo came and join us for maths... Whereas Audery and Bel were study at a side since 4 or 5pm till then...

So all the guys 'tank' Maths whereas the girls did their own studies.. And we all ended at 10.30pm!! O.0.. Like WOAH... 6hrs 30mins plus 1 hr break... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA... Longest studying time.... HA! Beat that!! LOL

But because of that I only woke at 8am so... Studied all the way to 9am.. The typed this..

To all having mid years.. God bless!! YOU ALL CAN DO IT!!!!!!

The Week

2007-04-07T21:27:00.000+08:00

That probably sums up all I've been thru this week...

Friendship

Of course thats not the only thing that I've come to learn after so long.. The week has been uttertly amazing.. There has been so much things happening and yet I've come to enjoy this all as a whole..

Well it started off with SYF, where all our work was put to the test... I mean all the work for 3 months that is... We were very afriad to go on stage with what we had, looking at the fact all other schools had twice our size and had trained longer... But we decided that since we are there.. We might as well put in our best... We went early for morning practice that day and it was really great... So when we were there, we felt rather well, not ourselves except people like Jarron and gang who were encouraging us that we would get gold... So we went to do all the stuff we had to do... And finally...

We were at the door to enter in the hall.

We had to line-up 10-15mins before we entered for our performance... It was really pressurising... Like things pressing down on you and you just can't seem to lift them up... But in the end, just before we got in.. About 5 mins or so... Ian Yang reminded me to do what a Barker Boy should always do... And I still thank him for that reminder...

"Nigel, could you lead us all in prayer before we go in..?"

And remembered that it is not what we did, but what God would have done with his hands for us.... If we asked... And after we prayed.. All of us clamed down... And well, though there were many screw-ups on stage... I felt it was the best the orchestra did... And after it all...

It felt Great!

We had lunch after that.. And it was really relaxing... Talking to friends about the past four years together and taking pics for rememberance... It was nice...

So after all that, 25 of us went back at 1.30++ pm to watch the rest of the 10 schools perform in the afternoon... It was really WOAH performances... Our president Ian Yang was really like telling me.. "We confirm silver.. No gold..." kinda thing, so I was telling the guy it was ok and all, leave it in God's hand.. And so was EVERYBODY HAHA... But it was a really painful and long 3 1/2 hr wait for the 6pm results...

School no.1.... Brozne

School no.2.... Silver

School no. 3 ... Brozne...

School no.4 Anglo Chinese School (Barker Road)...

There was a moment of silence in the crowd...

And as he looked as us... He mouthed the word that cause a 31 strong representative CO (including teachers) to rise up and give a Shout of Victory!!

Gold....

After the whole thing, we went downstairs and thanked God for his reward to us as a CO...

Well, this part is for the CO members... I know maybe I'm not really the best person to lead you all... Maybe there could have been someone better... But I believe that no matter what.. Its not me that makes the orchestra.. But all of us, and as a team... Like what I said, we play to the fullest... Because only that can truly express what God has given us to the fullest...

We are all imperfect, not really all that bad yet not all that good.. But its because of these things that we are called human... And friendship, as I've known it, overcomes all the barriers between all of us.. I, sadly, might not be able to join all of you all for the Japan trip (due to the expensive prices) but we are and still will be the CO that played our best and never regretted after each and every performance!

Hope I can work with you all again someday.. ACJC?? DSA?? haha... Maybe just maybe...

Well, not only SYF, but the week... Many people allowed me to see God's grace to me and I've really enjoyed the week... Maybe I'll talk more tommorrow... Gotta go now...

Music is the one thing that bonds everybody together.

~God bless~

2007-04-05T21:32:00.000+08:00

The Winds of the Orchestra.....

Moses settling all erhu problems... Pro....

Student Conductor Irvin + Concert Master Nigel :P

SYF + REW

2007-03-25T08:24:00.000+08:00

Its been another long break after my post...

Well, been up to much... Though now slacking most of the time after CCA and free time... But at least study a bit here and there to make sure I'm on track with my revision.. :) Ok lets start from the beginning of the week...

Monday

There was SYF special practice at the place itself... Well, it was really fun to sit on the bus and enjoy the view on a monday!! At least no studying so early in the morning... So when we were like there, in full uniform (Which is SUPER HOT) I asked them to like tune up with my 4 TUNERS I FOUND XD!! LoL... They all look so shocked cause I had even more tuners than the school :P!!! So then we waited for our late conductor to start practice after being there abt 5mins late.. Well, to sum up in two words.... It Sucked... Or so we thought... What to us sucked was actually Bronze - Silver standard by the instructors... WOW... But our conductor was really afraid of that performance standard... So when we reach back to school at abt 12pm... We had a lunch break before the new practice set... 1pm - 6pm... AHHHHHHHHHHH Well... After like whole day CO, I was really REALLY tired so I slept at 7- 9... Before Sleeping again at 11pm...

Tuesday

We had basketball module WOOHOO!!! (For PE) It was really fun doing the basketball assignment.... (It was to judge our ability to play).. Well... Thats abt it...

Wednesday - Thurs...

Nothing much lol....

Friday!!

The day was actually quite boring... But not after school!! We had chapel band practice! This time, instead of the sancturay, we used this really cool chapel in the Oldham hall... but it had so much echo that I had to really sing my heart out to overcome the drums, guitars and the bass !! Its bad for singers without mics... :(.... But the order of songs and links were cool and smooth for this practice... :)..... Starting off with Mighty to save then link over to From the Inside out then to Majesty before ending off with Jesus' blood........ It was just FUN!!

Saturday

CO started and kinda ended my day... It started from 10 in the morn to like 5 in the evening.... SIANZ... But it was real FUN! (In a sorta way) The practice started kinda well... And after like 3hrs (10-12) All the instructors confirmed a silver - gold standard (Which means high chance silver if not gold!!) We all were like WOAH!!... Why so much difference from Monday! but well, we were like happy... Then went for lunch at waffle town... and end up talking to Matthieu abt his table manners and his church committments :P (Its Mattheiu Tan if some of you were wondering If I spelt Matthew wrong :P).. The rest of the day was really REALLY smooth... With us, after each successful run requesting for a break LoL>>.....

Well, looks like i'm going to enjoy this sunday!!

Updating...

2007-03-14T10:45:00.000+08:00

Yo back from LONG slumber XD.... Well, been busy as usual, using all the free time I have (which is sometimes, if I'm luckey 2hrs...) to play Dota against AIs... So SORRY never did update...

Well, was also preparing for my O lvls SPAS... (which means school-practical-assignments.... O lvl new marking scheme for practicals..) Well.. Lets see... I have 8% tested for these few O lvl assignments... This how they mark...

2- full marks, got everything

1- for not getting everything, but did something...

0- for not doing ANYTHING AT ALL

So, lets say unless you are a total hands on person... 2 would be really hard to get in the many many parts of the marking scheme...

So, Bio came up first last thrus which I really really screwed up... But its still a 1... Overall...

So I mugged really really HARD and most likely for my Chem which was on monday... I'll hopefully get a nice 2 :)...

Yesterday's Physics was HORRIBLE.... (Not that I really screw up)... But many people never really did finish the experiment... I thank God that I barely finished it... So at least I got a 1.... Skill one was ok... With another hopeful 2 at hand....

Well... thats what been going on for the time I wasn't around blogging... CO was ok... Though SYF is screwed.... Pray that our conductor doesn't create anymore changes that the previvous conductor made... Its so confusing AHHHH!!!

YO PEOPLE

2007-02-26T20:33:00.000+08:00

Yep its me and I'm back from a super long break of NOT blogging.... Oh well... you know the CCA and the work has been piling up and all and its really been tiring... But today I've got some rest cause I've got the flu!! :) YAY...

Well, Chinese Orchestra has been well... Long but still a bit fun... I must say I'm looking forward to the days without the CCA in the way.. But till then... well, I guess its alright... Literature has been really fun!! With all the laughter and the lame mimicking of the voice for the movie traliers..XD... "One man, One desire.." XDXD...

Well, I'll guess I'll end off today's post with something I read today which I felt was really meaningful to me...

Here's an abstract from Dan Brown's book: Angels and Demons...

Here the camerlengo, who is the right hand man of the Pope, said something that... really makes you think...

"Never before has it been as obvivous as it is at this moment. Science is the new God."

Shocking, isn't it?? But there's more

"Medicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation... these are the miracles we herald as proof that science will bring us the answers. The ancient stories of immaculate conceptions, burning bushes, and the parting of seas are no longer relevant. God has become obsolete. Science won the battle. We concede."
...

"But science's victory,"..."has cost every one of us. And it has cost us deeply..."

"Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertianment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Out sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destoryed. Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident... Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone. We are bombarded with violence, divison, fracture, and betrayal. Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point of human history? Does science hold anything sacred? Science looks for answers by probing our unborn fetuses. Science even presumes to rearrange our own DNA. It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions..."

"Yes, you have won.. But not fairly. You have not won by providing answers. You have won by so radically reorienting our society that the truths we once saw as signposts now seem inapplicable. Religion cannot keep up. Scientific growth is expotential. It feeds on itself like a virus. Every new breakthrough opens doors for new breakthroughs. ManKind took thousands of years to progress from the wheel to ther car. Yet only decades fromthe car into space...We cry out for meaning. And believe me, we do cry out. We see UFOs, engage in channeling, spirit contact, out-of-body experiences, mindquests- they are unshamedly irrational. They are the desperate cry of the mordern soul, lonely and tormented, crippled by its own enlightenment and its inability to accept meaning in anything removed from technology/"

Its goes on and on but I'll stop here cause its already alot... So, what do you think??

MGS..

2007-02-08T18:26:00.000+08:00

Well, seeing that I've nothing much today.. I thought I'll post... AGIAN... XD... Since Matt like surfing blogs... Here's something for him to read...

Today was another mundane day... SS test was well... unpleasant... The whole cohort... 6-9 or 10 passed English Comprehension... I was like 14th in class.... with a Nice Score of 7.5/25 :):).... Two digits ok?? XD...

Then after school today, we had this SS lecture at MGS we had to attend since for us it was complusory... Our lesson ends at abt 2.30 and the bus to go MGS is like at 3.40... So, I had like nothing much to do... So went to the library... AND GUESS WHAT?? Had a free game of XBOX 360 XD... Cause our library has a lan centre with an XBOX 360.. But apparently when I went into the lan centre to look at the games in the centre... My friends were like playing the XBOX 360 cause the previvous bunch allowed us to play a bit more because they had to leave before the time was up... So we played a bit... Then we went down to the bus.. To MGS

MGS was like WOW Big.... I must say it looks really REALLY nice... And quite cool too.. Though the seats in the auditorium were like very VERY squeezy.. And cramped... Thought I would see Wx there but it turned out that all the Girls that went for the talk were sec 3.. The talk in general was really REALLY Boring... But ah well... At least learned that Singapore might be governed but many women ministers in the near future...

Well,... Thats about what happened today... Going to rest now... (As in eat dinner) before reading/studying... CYA Laterz....

*~The End~*

Yep updating...

2007-02-06T18:10:00.000+08:00

Well... Its been rough... Study Study Study Study Study study study study study study... Yep you get the idea... Plus Loads and LOADS of CCA... Thats why Matt... I didn't really have time to update...

But well... Taking a break todae... So After reading up and studying a bit.. Thought I'l post :)... School's been.. Well, because of certian people... Quite unpleasant... Try to be friendly, asks you to shut up... Make a comment about something, says you act cute.. And when you defend yourself that you're not saying him, he flares up and asks me (or anyone esle) To shut up... *sigh* What to do?? Its been pissing the whole class up man... And making him the No 1 Public enemy... Ouch...

Sometimes it just doesn't pays to be too friendly :(... A great example would be in the above text... But on the other hand.. When you show care and concern towards others, they remember you for a long time!! I'd just got back to a friend who migrated to Shanghai because of her dad's job and now is back - For GooD!! ^-^ YAY!! And whats more, her school is like just down the road (literally) from mine... Yep... ITS RGS O_o.... Smart huh??

Hope I can find the time to meet her soon!!

Well, gtg back to studying so see ya all laterz...

At recess...

2007-01-22T11:24:00.000+08:00

Hey.. At recess now but just passing time now at the library cause its still having some long Qs in the cateen... The usual people is like joking around, so I decided to post today since most of the week I'll be away in school till 6.... AHHHH!! CO has been rather crappy but hey, Just a few more months and I'll be out studying like Crazy....

I've been looking over at my friends' blog and most of them are all so EMO....

Is the world really all that bad??... Everybody says that the world's system is governed by higher evils... At we live in the era of twisted theories and in a land where no real or true friendships really, really lasts... How true is that for many.. Many of my friends are already breaking down under the pressure and the emotional pressure that their friends or the school have brought them... And because of these people's comments, they judge themselves by this standard and when they cannot meet the expectations of others... They, thus, break down and EMO state arises... (Dun worry JO I'M NOT TALKING ABT YOU)...

I always fear that I'll change to someone much worse in the future... As many of you would know... And once (since Jo's name appeared alr...), Jo asked me why was I comforted that why I fall away from Christianity that Its not God's fault (Cause everygood and perfect gift comes from above) though he gave Satan the permission to tempt me... (If U dunno what I'm talking about its ok... Since this was our guys grp Sunday school)..

At least I know its my lack of faith rather than the belief of any imperfect God....

Well, so anyway, As I live everyday, I hope to be a good person... Someone that does not allow anger to come over him... So at least

There's at least someone who wanna make the world a better place..

Well, gotta go for recess now... SEE YA!

At least I know that the God I'm worshipping is all perfect

Another day..

2007-01-13T21:30:00.000+08:00

Today was somewhat tiring... Finshing a song in a day.... And having A maths straight after.... I'm like -_-ZZzzz.... By the end of it...

Anyway, school has been a bit stressful... Bio test = Most likely Fail... Amaths and Literature test coming up... Plus some work on the weekends... Mom been saying I don't study much... X_X... Can't stand it... Onli Jan and mom bugs me to study... Freaky... Does it mean its really near exams...

Really wish can relax.. But people around me allow me to do it... HELP!!

Time to continue...

2007-01-09T17:11:00.000+08:00

Sorry its all in parts.... Am I trying to make suspense?? No lah... Its just that all these days have been packed with studying and work... Until like super tired... X_X.... But hey, I'm taking a short rest by typing this post before I prepare for my tests on this week/ next week/ The week after next... So you get the idea...

Anyway, lets talk about... I dunno? AH!! 4 people today... Cause 4 is a nice number!!

Wen Xin
Well, what can I say?... Its really been a long while since I've actually really talked to you.. But still, I really enjoy your company with all of us... I dunno how to put... But I think you've taught me.. We're all special to everyone no matter how important or insignificant we may be at times... And well, you remind of my mom when you are like HIGH... LOL... And I also dunno why I ca't really start a conversation with you :(... Me = simple-minded, You = deep?? Dunno :P...

Thanks... Hope can get to know you better this year... :):)

Matthew
Of course, How Can I forget MATTHEW!! Well, known him for quite a long time also... And being the same school with him has allowed me to know about him... Well, gotta say... When Matt says he acts dumb, He means it... Cause he says really deep things sometimes which really makes you think, ya know?? And actually his actions also teach me lots of things...

So, matthew, have you thought of becoming a teacher?? :)

Ok... Thats all I can think of now... Well, gotta study for Bio... *sigh*

*~Till Next time~*

Yes Yes I know.. I know

2007-01-06T08:34:00.000+08:00

From like 9-5pm..!! XD... So tired.. But the results were like AMAZING!! 70 ppl for the CO!!! XD.... But too long to blog about it.. So decided to continue writing thanks to people...

JO
Yes, I know its not one of the first few on the blog... But hey, Sorry man... No inspiration = how to write?? So now that I have, I will write... Duh... XD...

Well, what to say.. He is like a big bro to me... Guiding me, teaching stuff wheather its concerning music or its not..... Taught me alot though most of the time its not really directly... A man of the game... Super Enthu.. And this is a X'mas present from me... A Guy with God in heart...

Go man!!

So since I saw Jo's post on my tagboard, I'll put this up first...Now gotta go for breakfast.... So type more later....

And New Year thanks..

2007-01-02T15:01:00.000+08:00

Yup ... Part 2 of yesterday's post... This may become a long post... Or not... Depending if my headache stops me before I finish typing this post.. Or not... So, not in any order AT ALL.... Let the fun and games begin...

Who to start with... Hmmm....

Audrey
Why?? Cause she said I always put her like at the back of my lists...So here's a first.... Well, actually in the past.. Didn't really take the effort to like make friends with you kinda thing.. Cause most of the time, You + Screaming = Ear pain... Haha so ya... But last year due to all the church activities, I got to know you better and found out that.. Screaming for you is natural... Juz joking, Also found out that you really care for all your friends and thanks for just being who you are...

Your scream = unique XD

Angela
And of course, when you talk about Audrey, you'll talk about Angela and Annabel... So Bel, yours is coming next... Angela... I've known her for.. 5 odd years... I remember I used to talk to her in church and tao her in school.. Cause I always thought they were like two different people... All the way till I was like P6... HAHA... Well, Also because of the activities that the youth have... Got to know you all that better... You're always just like organising stuff for us like Captain's Ball and stuff... And also ALWAYS providing the location for Captian's BALL... So, here's THANKS for that.... HAHA... Of course, thanks for just being who you are...

Annabel A.k.a BEL...
XD.... Sorry, couldn't help it.. Well, thats practically how I really started getting to know you... Because of all the jokes you made.. XD.. You + MAtt + Lame jokes.... = Funny (Depends on situations)... Well, you're really sensitive to others and let them feel that, hey if I went too far in doing something, I aplogise kinda thing... Which is really nice... Just like ME... XD Juz joking... And thanks for being the person you are...

Your colours (Esp your finger-nail colours) add COLOUR to LIFE... ESP YELLOW XD....

Jun
Well, dunno if you'll see this... But anyways... When you first came to church.. I like so seriously didn't know you're Eng Soon's sis... But I got to know you in like the YOUTH camp com... Always thought you were a quiet girl in Sec 3... Well, nothing's change there Except.. You're in Sec 4.. Oops... I always found out that, you can be a nice person to chat with... But haven't been talking to you like in a while... So, maybe sometime soon...

And if you're free, wanna jog from the cheese prata shop to church again?? I wanna set the pace this time :):)....

Jeanette
Well, when I first had any contact with you.. Which was like in P5.. Well, you kinda scared me... Which explains why sometimes, I feel intimitated by you.. So its kinda natural... XD... But anyway, In the Year 2006, I realised you're burst of exclaimations are just because its the heat of the moment kinda thing... Though its scary, but most of the time, you don't mean it... Do you?? But anyway, more than just shouting and being angry, I realised you get HIGH when playing ESP during The X'mas Party... XD.... And that you're always serious in God's Work...

And don't worry, Most of the Time... I don't take your words to heart ... Oops :P...

Andre
What can I say??... This guy is the guy I seek for a nice chat... Though we sometimes have small debates about things,... I always learn a little something new from him... Which is kinda cool... And he always lends a helping hand esp if I need a lift to Church... HAHA... And gives me that push of encouragement in whatever I do... Thanks... And most of all... He knows most of the things I would say to him... So, there's not much need for words, right Andre?

Celena
Why am I writing about you after Andre? Cause when you talk about Andre, you get reminded about Jeremy... And you get reminded of Jeremy's Family....(Daniel)..... HAHA XD.... No lah Just joking... I decided to write about you cause I had just gotten inspiration about what to write abt you... Well, only start talking to you recently.. I dun really remembered how all the talking started... But its been fun since... Thanks for being that someone older to talk too... :).. Jie Mei in Chirst... :)...

Its kinda funny how much in common we have... Maybe thats why we're Sisters... (This just sounds wrong)... XD

Ok... Taking a break... Keep looking out for your name in the next few days, ok?

See you all laterz~

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2007-01-01T17:39:00.000+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

I heard like you all stay over was like WOAH kinda thing... And I really wished I was there... But.... This year what I did was like Totally different from my other years in the situation of count-downs.....

I was still dragging to go for the count-down in Malaysia that my parents had planned.. For One, The oldest there is like 11 yrs old.. And Two... Its going to be quite boring since the guys there would be hogging the X box they brought... (Which indeed was the case, but at least I played abit this morning...)

But I could not deny the fact that I have not been spending enough time with my parents.. So I just went...

The day was as expected.. Boring... But the night was like WOAH...

As You all know... My Mom = HIGH... Put her near loud old school music... Mom = Super HIGH... And as my mom says it... Its HEALTHY to be HIGH... Cause in this way... SHE DOESN"T NEED DURGS!! XD Which in turn after awhile.. Got me HIGH... And we all ended up singing that all famous song.. "PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC, WHITE BOY"... And my mom dragged me to the dance floor, telling me that she wanted to teach me dance moves... XD

Well, that night was like clubbing W/O Alchol I think... But there was only one word to describe the night... HIGH!!

Well, The school going to start.. But....

ENJOY THE NEW YEAR!!

Boring day home... :(...

2006-12-29T20:24:00.000+08:00

Its been such a boring day... Its been like CO in the morning from like 9-3pm.... AHHHHH... Then when I came home... So bored dunno what to do.. So just lazed around...

sigh... Dunoo what to do...

The rain... Its pain...

2006-12-27T20:29:00.000+08:00

Today was another plain day... Spending time out, doing stuff mom and dad want... But I got a new pair of shoes!! So.... No complains there :):)....

Actually there was something I wanted to type about which was really crappy... But after thinking about it, maybe not... Its not really that great...

Well, its ok.... Its most probably a part of growing up anywayz....

Blogz laterz...

I've made that choice.. But now I've come to know that it still hurts... Its raining out there... And the decision to run out there... It does not come without sacrifices... But at least I've come back Home again... Come back to Me again...

After all the staying overz...

2006-12-26T20:27:00.000+08:00

Christmas has came and gone... And soon its the new year... T-T...Man... This really is a fast holiday thinking back on it.. Though when we experience the holiday, its not really like that fast... But now, there is juz so much more to do.. Before we all get imprisoned in the big circle... Where its perimeter marks the path our future may lead.. The one that God has planned for us... And thinking about it now, brings shivers to my spine....

The 'O's ARE COMING!!

Looks like alot of studying for next year... Studies groups are more than welcomed... Its like major studying EVERYDAY!! XD.... Juz joking... Well, time to talk about the stay over....

Christmas has been quite different compared the other years...I never really had the chance to spend my time during Christmas with all of you... And its really been different... The play and singing were great... On stage I truly felt myself and acted someone I could also have been... In doubt, in anger and yet in the end, realising my mistakes and clam down again... (This was when I questioned Peter about the Star) I usually don't get angry and always seek reason... I dunno if this is a sign of weakness, but... I never really liked getting angry... So I always try not to get angry no matter what the case unless I'm pushed to that line... But I don't think I'll be that scary... Well... But going back to the main topic... It feels great acting out all I can be on stage.. Putting my point across in the heat of moment... Full of doubt... And questions against an idea... So at least now I know... How I feel or look like when I'm in that state.. Which Still is something I do not wanna be...

And singing as you all know, Is MY FAV!!!....Cannot imagine if there is no music in life... WOW.... Thats a bad thought... Oh and here's sorry for all the people who had to go through my singing the whole night!! HAHA XD... Sorry :P.... But I'm like Nigel man... Its like ME man.... So, get USED to it!! XD... (All this is juz joking ok? Don't take it seriously XD)....

So after all that singing, the night starts... Music composition.. Bridge and stuff like that... It was all real great... They say that there's a little something different when you are with different people celebrating the same event... And its so true... I really enjoyed myself with you all... :) Thanks for... Everything...

Oh, if I can't write fast enough for all the X'mas Cards, I'll post it up and the more sensitive stuff, I might call :).....

Blog tommorrow again. See ya around... :)

Its a cold night out here...

Hey guys!! Got back into to the blogging mood... :)... Maybe its because school gonna start soon... Mann... That really sucks.. That means I have to finish off my holiday homework and start some serious studying.... Like matthew would put it.. "Awww~ Man....."

But lets not dwell on things, and just enjoy the moment... And to start things off this post... Lets give a shout...

JO, YOU DID WELL MAN!!!!

Great job man... Next year is Super Serious year... Study group with Matt??... And maybe with the rest?? HAHA.... Dun Know Why so Enthu into studying... I think I need more game- remedy.... HAHA...

Well, today was quite ok... Woke up and left the hse earlier than usual... to bring breakfast to my Grandma and spend time with her...Quite a meaningful time we spent.. But sometimes when i can't understand the dialect their talking in.. It gets quite boring... Then went to spend the afternoon with Pok which is like annual event for me... So I spent an afternoon blasting heads off floods in Halo in Heroic Mode... And also invited for Cpt's ball tmr!! Look out world... Here comes The Pok & Teo players!! XD....

So at abt 6.30 +, my dad came to pick and we went to do some things before eating dinner... Which we thought would only like take 20 mins... But ended up we onli ate dinner, 7.45 and went home 8.15.. HAHA XD...

And I always love the holidays because of the chances of talking to people on the phone for a long time.. Without my parents telling me off... :) My way of spending time :)... Its really enjoyable :)

Anyways, its now raining nice and heavy outside... So, I think while its cold... Maybe I'll go get a nice cup of hot chocolate and read a nice book on bed.. To get into the festive mood... :)..

*~Till next time~*

On a Sunday morning...

2006-12-17T07:45:00.000+08:00

Its been quite an eventful week, with carolling and CO camp making up the whole week.... And its this week that I learnt many things about myself...

On tuesday, there was the usual carolling and cpt's ball... And during cpt's ball, i was unusually more 'high' than usual... So end up running up and down... And guess what? In the end I cause Wx's leg to sprain... AGAIN... *sigh*.. Why every time I'm high I cause injury to others... So, lesson learnt here - Dun get too high, Power is nothing without control...

On thrusday, there was CO Camp... Like 9-5pm for 2 days + 9-1pm on Sat... I had like fun lunch breaks for all these days thanks to the Erhu group and Ian Yang and Irvin... :).. Got to know my junior better and they even accompanied me to look at guitars in Palza Sing. WOOHOO!! Thanks guys!! And when I was like testing all those guitars... I like fell in love with the steel-stringed aucostic guitar sound... Its like WOAH!! My type of sound.... So maybe this time round... No more electric, but aucostic plug-in? Yess.... Anyways, I also met alot of tests placed by my conductor when in the combine practice... Which makes me re-think the whole Concert Master thingy... But I pulled through... And on Sat (Oh, all the bad things happened on thrus), I was the only person playing in my whole section!! XD... Got praised by my instructor, (Happies!!)...XD

Oh, and one more thing... I have always been having my inspiration to write my compositions... For me, composition has two parts to it... One, thought and Two, Sound... Well, for me only Part 1 has been covered... But for the 2nd part... I can't think of anything....;(...Awww man.... I NEED AN AUCOSTIC TO COME OUT WITH A SONG.... AHHHH~!!! LoL...

Well... Post more laterz...
