Christmas Frenzy!!!

Oh wow look at the time!
Its 5am!!!
Why am I still blogging when I have 20++ Christmas cards left to write??!!
I dunno!
I'm going crazy!
Gonna see a zombie in church later!
Gotta drink red bull!!
Coffee!
Man I start to see some maids wake up in the houses opposite my block already.
Hope people note the fact that its the thought that counts, cos I spent the whole night writing un-impressional christmas cards!
Hours passed like minutes, minutes passed like seconds...
I'm so gonna be sleeping like a piggy tomorrow after service!
Thanks for the christmas wishes everyone!
And sorry for the blunder!

Merry Christmas!!!

Sorry for that totally blur moment where I messaged you guys with the name "Johnathon".
So paiseh, but yeah Merry Christmas!

Happy birthday to me???

Ok, so I received a birthday song after all, from region 3/4!
I love you guys X))
Gotta say this year has been the best birthday so far, more birthday wishes than any other birthday.
Loved the cake so much I dare not eat it, haha heart pain...
Had 'birthday lunch' with some of the youth at Long John Silver, my favourite fast food outlet.
After that went to Tampines building to play some lame games with region 5/6 people, though I didn't play much, I had fun just observing them.
Morning and evening service was good, speaker was the same as yesterday, and most of the stuff was repeated but I still enjoyed the service alot.
After that went to Jumbo seafood restaurant for dinner with parents!
Ate lotsa good stuff there, and best of all it was free!
Hahaha.

Lots of stuff happening this week, tennis at 7am tomorrow, going to change guitar strings, shopping and the my hope outreach party on tuesday, ball games and wii on wednesday, christmas outreach on thursday, christmas party on friday, and once again edge service on saturday!
I'm gonna love this upcoming week!

And my parents had their my hope outreach yesterday, and the kids that came messed up my guitar tuning so bad that my tuner couldn't recognise what note the strings were, and when I tried to tune I broke a string!!!
Rawr so now I officially dislike kids that range from 0-10 years old.

X))

Wahaha, Ivan bought me this game for my birthday!
So happy!
Was wanting to buy this game for a pretty long time but didn't have money after buying GTA 4.
So finally get to play this.
But can't play at night though, its ultra scary I think.
Zombies all over the place.

Anyway edge today was good, the preacher was so spontaneous, and was very funny.
After that had to wash toilet, haha my new white converse is becoming darker already.
Went with some of the youth to thomson there to eat prata.
Had a good time observing their conversations like some spy.

Birthday's coming up in an hour, having mixed feelings,
Dunno whether I should feel happy or sad.
Whatever, I should sleep soon, gonna try out my game tomorrow!

Yes Man!

Ok, I watched this show today.
It was freaking hilarious although there were certain obscenities.
Went with Ivan, Silas, Franklin and James to watch this.
James was so enthusiastic cos we saved his boring day. (haha).
Anyway on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 9, because it got me laughing the whole time.

Net tonight was pretty quiet, many were not around.
Discussed the My Hope Singapore outreach, and after that went to STARBUCKS!
Had caregroup at starbucks, no more worrying about how I'll die, but I keep imagine a scene from a dream where I was shot and my whole body was writhing in pain, and most of the scenes in my dream which I remember always come true eventually, like the time I dreamt I went back in time and thought I saw Singapore in the late 80s, but turns out I saw the exact same scene when I was in Vietnam, so I didn't travel back in time, instead I went to a less developed country...
Hope I won't die by bullets though.

What has happened recently?
Nothing, I guess, just slacking and more slacking.
Having tennis lessons at 7am, feel like staying up the whole night to sleep after tennis lesson.
But tomorrow promises to be a great day, Sunday too!
I can't wait for tuesday, as well as Thursday and Friday.

I just hope that if I take a bullet,
I'd do it to save you.
My death would be worth it then.
Your life is too precious to throw away,
Mine is too meaningless to be kept.

For fun, lalala

I'm back!

I'm back from Vietnam!
Touched down 3 hours ago, and feeling really tired and worn out.
Vietnam was really hot, the traffic was horrible, the people couldn't speak proper english, the air was severely polluted and it was a pretty run down place, worse than Malaysia.
I regret agreeing to go to Vietnam, I didn't really enjoy it, because I went with my parents, and I knew I could expect alot of bullshit when I travel with my parents, 9 out of 10 scenarios I predicted came true.
However, the food there was good, the people were nice people, they have some pretty nice scenery, and my hotel room rocked.
Will upload pics some other time, now time for a nap!
I really missed everyone alot, hope to catch up with you guys soon!

Another crappy day

Well I guess this is what I get for not going to youth camp....
Another screwed up day.
Started with a screwed up paper this morning.
Forgetfulness caused me to travel from school to home, home to pasir ris, pasir ris to punggol, punggol back to pasir ris, den home from pasir ris, I guess its not due to the 'high-ness' at 12am, cos I slept at 9pm last night.
Whatever, gotta study now.

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Hit me baby...

Next time you see me post something like what the last post was like, call me up and get my brother to smack me or something.
If I happen to feel so hyper at 12am for nothing, it probably means the next day is going to be a very bad day.
And by bad day, I mean that there are 2 test papers to study for, both requiring certain mathematical knowledge, memory work and practice, & all I have in my mind is nothingness during the papers and the only way to keep myself awake while studying is to be playing computer games.
I nearly fell asleep when I tried to study, and everyone knows that once I fall asleep, its gonna be a hell of a time trying to get me to wake up.
So please, do me a favour next time and force me to sleep by 12am somehow, so days like these don't ever happen again.

Today would have been a pretty special day,
I don't know why,
but all I did was screw it up for myself.

Right smack in the middle

Look at me I'm the undertaker!

Ok, its midweek now, approximately 12am on a cool wednesday morn.
Test today was OOPG, I know I'll fail but I won't fail as badly as the term test.
2 papers comin up tomorrow, Computing Math and Computer Architecture!
Both subjects that I can safely say that I'll pass.

And played GTA 4 multiplayer online with Andrew earlier, was really fun, but I had severe connection problems so we hadta stop.

And right now youthcampers are probably asleep already, or staying up playing cards or watching TV. Gotta say I miss them alot, and Jordan misses them so much that he set up a blog for us just to write a note to use before he goes to NS! The blog is http://www.regionthreefour.blogspot.com/. And I gotta say its a really cool blog, to represent our region. It even has a countdown to when the youthcampers will be back! Awesome!

And while screwing around with blog templates I accidentally deleted my link list which I've worked so hard to update time and again! :O :O :O
If you want me to link you just tag me WITH the link, cause I'm too lazy to try and retype everything.

I have the whole Heroes Season 1 and 2 on my laptop!
Gonna start re-watching the whole series again!
Season 3 rocks as well!
I love the storyline!

Ok, hope to see some great testimonies being posted up on our regional blog as well as the SengKang net blog!
Peace! Pray for me for my term tests!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I dunno why, I'm just feeling hyper all of a sudden

Headaches

Ok, so I'm having a awesomely heavy headache right now, my eyes are just about to close, and I still have to prepare a lesson to teach tomorrow.
Attack of the zombie teacher!
Everyone's going to see my with huge panda eyes and a really tired looking face tomorrow.
Youth camp is coming up in 2 days, I'm cursing myself for not skipping school to go.
Realised today that God is more important than a high GPA.
And I'm so gonna dread the week when they come back, cause everyone will be so hyper about camp and they're gonna gang up against the poly people and rub in how fun youth camp was this year.
I simply love pastor Miguel's message tonight, at least it gave some hope to my 'almost dead' vision I had at the start of 2008.
Now I'm as pumped up as a youthcamper!


Ok, I'm not a male chauvinist, but this was definitely written by someone who had a demanding girlfriend, I feel that it's kind of ingenious in a cruel but (almost) true way, so yeah.
Whatever.
I'll be in zombie mode tomorrow.

What I hate the most.

1) Intimidating and pressurizing conversations with my parents which happens almost daily.
2) Studying.
3) Not doing what I like.
4) People who force me to do stuff.
5) Having so little freedom.
6) Rotting at home.

Time for a change?

All gone in a flash...

Yeah, so Friday, went to school for SIWM class, topic was on the YouTube phenomenon.
Was quite interesting, but once again it took away my sleep, for Fridays....
After that met up with David and went down to peninsular plaza to change strings.
David had some probs with his electric guitar so he accompanied me there to get it repaired.
I changed strings to some cheap coated strings, and the guy adjusted the action so low till there's a 'CLANG' sound everytime I strum the 'D' string real hard.
Went to David's house to check out his multi effects pedal, and jammed 3 songs on the spot without stopping.

Saturday, had my first ever tennis lesson!
But it was at an unearthly timing, 7am in the morning!
I was still in dreamland during the lesson.
After that fell right back asleep and awoke only when David and Ivan reached my house.
We jammed for about 2-3 hours, we even tried recording a sound but failed miserably.
After that KFC at compassvale and went home to "study/slack".

Today, had youth band practice after so long!
Was really looking forward to it but we only manage to do 2 songs.
But it was worth it.
Went home for lunch after morning service, headed to Yishun building to play WII. (Not world war 2)
And played cs on lan with JJ for awhile.
Met up with Ivan, Nicholas, Vincent and Zhang Yi at yishun MRT.
Couldn't find seats when we reached the fusion youth hub, so we had to settle for some crappy seats at the back with a very lousy view of the events.
Games were good, prizes were good, worship was good and last but not least the message was SIMPLY FANTASIC.
It really opened my eyes to the reality of life.
Wake up call...
I really wanna thank my best buds Nicholas, Vincent and Zhang Yi for taking time to come down for 180, really appreciate it, we should hang out and do something one of these days ya?

Thursday, November 27, 2008

Poof! And the week is almost over!

So anyway, this week has been a bore...
Did nothing much but game and study, game > study of course.
Term tests are coming, and most are morning papers...
Going off to Vietnam after my last paper on Friday, which means you won't see me for net, edge and sunday service.
Right now there is something bothering me deeply, its about the course that I'm in.
Sure, the friends are great and the laughter is heart warming, but the academics are alien.
Until now I still haven't gotten a firm grasp of what each topic means.
For example, I found out today what a noob I am at programming.
The person helping me out was probably feeling frustrated at my puny knowledge of Java codes.
So I think to myself, if I pass my science O'levels, which definitely I will, I may consider changing course.
To mechanical engineering in Ngee Ann polytechnic.
I'm more of a practical person, theory just bores the crap outta me.
For instance, when I was learning guitar, I didn't care about the theory and focused on practice all the way, and through that, the theory became like my second nature...
Its the same for everything else.
All I have to do is practice and it'll be okay.
And mechanical engineering has math and physics!
My 2 favourite subjects in secondary school.
I failed science cos chem pulled me down.
But I think to myself, how can I leave my friends just like that?
Which decision is better, my future or my friends?

Anyway, events this week, nothing much, but I left my computer mouse in one of the labs yesterday and went back today to check and it was still there!
Saved me the trouble and $$$ to go buy a new one.

Net tomorrow, I'm teaching lesson as well as playing guitar, might be going to change guitar strings tomorrow after school.
Stressed...
Right now all I can take is a short breather this weekend.
Still have to prepare for net worship and net lesson.
Tennis lesson at 7am on SATURDAY!!!
Rawr...
Soccer cancelled...
Jamming with David and Ivan....
Youth band practice...
And 180 Event!!!

Time and Place Date: Sunday, November 30, 2008
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Fusion Youth Hub
Street: 3 Yishun St 11
City/Town: Singapore, Singapore180 is our biggest event of the year!
Come down for dance competitions, music, drama, games, and prizes.
Ipod nano and digital camera to be won!
Pre-180 events start at 230pm. (wii games, express manicures and more!)
[Plagiarized from James' blog]

And went blog hopping today, found out that a pretty girl has caught his eye, an angel, he says.
The description kinda matches MY angel....
Gotta clear things out with him...
Although I don't think it'll be such a coincidence....
Have to play safe...

I sat next to you in the bus,
We were talking like good friends.
Something next to me distracted me for 2 seconds.
When I looked back, you disappeared.
Vanished, like a ghost.
Blah sometimes I really hate dreams.

No life...


So today, made the same blunder I do EVERY monday, due to monday blues, I guess.
My class starts at 10am but I always forget and reach by 9am....
And I only realise it when I enter the lecture theater and see many unfamiliar faces.
So, with nothing better to do, I've decided to blog.

After reading others' blogs, I find that I am one who has the least 'life', as I'm always just slacking at home.
People go out, have fun even on school nights, and I truly envy their freedom.
I mean, even going out for dinner with friends would mean a lot, and I thank God for friends like David who asked me to join the guys to watch a movie on Friday.
But other than that, what am I doing?
Just wasting my youth staying home, and spending late nights playing games or doing assignments...
Its been a long time since I went to hang out with region 3/4 youth after edge or after morning service for a meal or something.
I've been rushing home the past few weeks after edge due to the fact that my parents need help in doing the housework.
Now that we've hired a new maid, I hope I'll be able to have more fun now.

So, cousins came down from Malaysia for the weekend, brought them to edge, went for bowling, and that's about it.
Due to this I've totally forgotten about one of my assignments, which is due in 2 hours...
Events coming up this week : Prayer meeting, net group, tennis lesson, jamming session with David and Ivan, and 180!
And all the best to the people from Ngee Ann poly and their outreach this coming Friday!
Do invite the contacts to 180! XD

Everybody sing like it's the last song you will ever sing.
Everybody live like it's the last day you will ever see.

Madagascar!


Ok, so I watched madagascar 2 today when I was supposed to be doing my SIWM blog...
But I needed a break, so i finally agreed to accompany the guys to watch it.
It was hilarious, and it really helped me de-stress and helped to keep my mind away from the upcoming stress period.
David's mind was distracted today, he only realised that we entered Burger King after sitting inside for 10 minutes.
He was like, "eh? I though they wanted to go ajisen ramen, why are we here?!"
And we had been inside chatting for almost 10mins before he said that.
The movie was hilarious, by my standards, I like the penguins, and the airplane take-off part.
And now, I'm just procrastinating my SIWM blog, and I have no mood to go for the tutorial tomorrow.
Its probably going to be a pain coming up with a URL for the blog, as well as a good title.
Really don't wanna do it, I wanna sleep!

PSLE results for my brother weren't exactly good news, and I do believe that results isn't everything, although parents always judge us based on results.
They always deny it, but deep in their hearts they just despise us because of our sucky academics.

And now, I just wish that I have someone to hold in my arms.
And all I want is for that person to be you.

Disturbed

So today I was feeling rather off....
Was thinking about how much I'm going to miss when everybody goes for youth camp...
The biggest event of the year, the event I've been looking forward to since the last youth camp, and I have to miss it...
Take a leave of absence?
I wouldn't mind, only that I'll miss my term tests when my GPA is already so low.
Parents will condemn that decision.
Other options?
Helicopter down everyday to attend the night sessions.
Too costly.
Leave a note and just sneak off...
Take a 5 day MC?
WHAT CAN I DO TO GET INTO YOUTH CAMP!!!
I'm desperate...
RAWR!
I'm going to be kept in suspense till the end of youth camp, and I'm gonna feel so left out when everyone's talking about it.
Should I sign up in faith and hope that they'll reschedule?
Argh....
This bites...
I really hate poly schedules.... Why do they have to be so 'special'???
When we're having holidays, others are having school or exams...
When we are having exams, others have holidays...
We're being isolated from the other half of the teenage community in Singapore and I'm not liking this one bit...
Youth camp youth camp...
Pray pray pray...
I want teleportation powers!

A friend?

Great, so now everyone knows about the EBR.

This week has been an awfully tiring week, with an average of only 4 hours of sleep per day.
OOPG lab test and C-maths class test this week, I'm so prepared for maths but not the least bit for programming.
Friday, came late for SIWM class, overslept once again.
Didn't do much in that lesson, should have skipped it.
It was CCN day, so we just checked out the different stalls set up.
Saturday, lazed around and went to edge, rushed home immediately after Jeremy Seaward said dismissed.
Today, K.O-ed for 5 hours straight and ended up missing evening service.
Oh yeah, and during pre-teens net, thank God Josephine taught the lesson...
I guess now I know what to expect, especially from Elliot.
Must be prepared with full fledged rebuttals to counter his questions.
Mass conversation on MSN with 3/4 people is fun, should do it more often, at least it takes the boredom out of my nights...

Parents complaining that I'm not studying enough.
I don't dare tell them that I stay till the wee hours of the morning to study.
In the day I'm helping out with housework, and in the night there's not much distractions...
Hope no one reads the book 'Conversations with God'
Don't read it.

5 years too late

Ok, I've been thinking alot lately, and usually I think about the mistakes I've made in my life so far.
I know, this kind of thing is what old people do when they're bored.
But I got too much time on the bus rides home, so I just tend to think.
And one case came to my mind which convicted me a lot.
______________________________________________________________________

(This space is reserved for a certain someone to see) :
We used to be friends, a long long time ago, back when I was still wearing shorts to school.
We sat together, we talked, we laughed, and we were good friends.
We bullied each other, did lame stuff and joked together.
The only thing was that you're a girl and I'm a guy.
I said some hurtful things in the heat of the moments, and you backed away.
And slowly, this friendship started to fade.
Gradually, we became strangers, not even a 'hi' or 'bye' whenever our paths crossed.
We became mere acquaintances who couldn't talk on level terms.
You're the smart one & I'm less intellectual.
You're the beautiful one but I'm the ugly one.
I soon felt that I didn't deserve to be your friend, and gave up trying.
This ruined relationship caused me to have made an subconscious vow, to never hurt a girl's feelings ever again.
And because of this scar, I find it hard to be friendly to other girls.
You were the one who I felt the most comfortable with.
What would you say if I told you that I once liked you, a lot.
How would you react?
I told myself and others that I would never like someone like you.
I lied.
And all that was on my mind then was you.
But soon you met other guys, better looking and smarter guys.
I wasn't jealous, I was just unworthy.
And now, the only thing I wanna say is,
I'm sorry
____________________________________________________________________

Very few people might know who I'm talking about.
Our clique, back then.
If any case any readers knows who I'm talking about, please don't reveal it.
Although I only believe just 2 persons excluding myself would know.
I just hope that she is able to read this somehow.

I did say that I liked you,
but now someone else has my heart.
Someone who doesn't even know she's met me.
Its painful.
I'm afraid that I might end up in another failed relationship.
That's why I dare not try.
One day, we'll see what unfolds.
One day...

Tiring week

Ok, this week has been by far the most tiring week of my life.
Been reaching home at almost 10pm everyday, and I probably only had less than 20 hours of sleep this whole week.
SIWM lessons are getting better.
Now we've gone on to blogging, which I enjoy as a school subject.
Hope to cover journalism in this module.
For my project I've decided to do a video on how people gain fame on the internet.
I'm going to be an example.
Time to borrow Brendan's video cam XD.
CMSK is worse than last term.
I would usually look forward to CMSK lessons, but this term I just dread it.
I like writing, but I hate having to follow a skeleton.
I just like writing random and no link stuff.
Had MacDonald's twice this week, and had subway 3 times.
$$$ being digested in my stomach.
Felt sick on Thursday and Friday, but still went to school for attendance.
Was still feeling really fatigued at net group but I still managed to lead worship pretty fine.
My voice was cracking up as usual.
Saturday was really bad!
I dragged myself out of bed just to go to help out at care and share.
And couldn't stop sneezing when I reached Punggol CC.
The air was really really bad there.
Went with Gabriels, Alan, Brother Hock Chee and his sons to Toa Payoh building to get the supplies for the goodie bags.
Imagine me lifting my own weight's worth of rice.
Back straining, so I gave up on the first sack.
After that headed back to Punggol CC to pack the stuff...
Sat in the scorching sun and did something like what they to in the factories.
Really pissed off and tired by then.
Went to Hougang mall for lunch, went to James' house to bathe and went down to SP to watch Kang Lun's dance performance.
Was a really good dance item, well worth my $10.
Very emotional dance choreography and mind blowing break dance techniques.
Kang Lun did really well, good job buddy.
Forgot to invite the guys to 180 thats happening on 30th November.
Will have more dance items to watch there I hope.
And, youth camp is a no go this year T-T
It's my term test week on the same week as youth camp.
If it was held in Singapore I might be able to go back and forth everyday.
But its in Malaysia!
Argh skip school skip school skip school skip school....

Barbeque?

So mum suggested a barbeque for my birthday.
But definitely not on a saturday or sunday.
Weekdays are not convenient as well.
There's net on Friday.
Sigh....
This week has been tiring.
CGS on monday and tuesday.
Margaret Seaward's messages were awesome.
Worship practice on Wednesday night.
Quite a small turnout.
And net tonight was good.
Boring post I know.
Sadly I don't have any pictures to upload.
Just hope I get my birthday wish.

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Presents??

So mum asked me how I wanted to celebrate my birthday.
I told her its still quite far off.
She asked me to tell her so she could start planning now...
zzz.
What's up with suddenly being so interested in how I would celebrate my birthday?
I liked last year's 'celebration', because it was a rather quiet one.
Spent at mind cafe with the region's youths, although I think most of them didn't even know it was my birthday that day. (Haha)
But this year, my birthday falls on a Sunday.
Which probably means that I wouldn't be left alone unless I skip church.
I mean, I do like people to remember my birthday, gives me the sense that I'm still loved by someone.
But I dislike getting the attention from people.
Its been like this from the start.
Every time I feel that someone is staring at me, I'll always check my hair, my appearance to make sure that nothing is wrong with me and I check to see if there's anything stuck to my shirt.
So imagine having many eyes on me when the birthday song is going.
I'd feel uncomfortable.
Really.
No birthday song this year.
Please no.
I want a quiet birthday with my favourite girl in my favourite restaurant.
Hopefully by then I'll have mustered the courage to even talk to her, let alone have a meal alone with her.
Christmas...
Man I hope Christmas is quieter this year as well.
I guess after all the time living in this fast paced and noisy environment I wanna have some peace and quiet.
Maybe I should hide in some cave and try to find my inner self like what they do in those kung fu movies....
random random no link no link....

HSM3...

Ok, so I watched this movie with SengKang net people today.
Woke up with a stiff neck and a twisted knee joint.
Sprained my ankle while walking on unlevel ground on the way to school today.
9am lessons...
SIWM class.
It was better than last week.
But assignment has started already... =(
After that I rushed down to Yio Chu Kang Mrt to pick up my brother to go to Dhoby Ghaut to meet the SK net.
Turns out we arrived too early, we reached at 2.40pm, waited till 3pm but still no one in sight.
Next time we gotta come half an hour late to be 'on time'.
Anyway, our overall net had 4 new people, who came from CW to the youth.
3 of them joined Johnathon's side and 1 joined Esther's side.
Had a short net at Plaza Sing's foodcourt.
After which came games like uno, jenga, taiti (however you spell it), murderer, etc.
I brought my laptop along so I managed to play PES for a short while before my battery ran out.
After that, the movie!
I was looking forward to it, mainly because I've watched the first 2 movies and enjoyed it quite a bit.
But there was something that put me off, it was the fact that there were too many songs in the movie.
I know its supposed to be a musical, but it was just an overkill of songs...
The songs had good lyrics, but the music arrangements just sucked...
I still prefer 'Camp Rock'.
Anyway, the character I liked the most was a new guy, Jimmie 'The Rocket' Zara.
Super cool guy, jokerish and he's probably gonna star in the rumoured 'High School Musical 4'
If he's the main character then I'm so gonna look forward to the fourth movie of HSM.

Mixed frenzy of emotions and feelings

Somehow I can't wait for tomorrow to come.
But at the same time, I wish it would never come.
I'm dreading it and looking forward to it at the same time.
I'm happy but frustrated at the same time.
I'm lucky but unlucky at the same time.
Why?
God knows.
I have no idea why I've been feeling like that lately.
I've become fed up with my life.
Its neither here nor there.
Its always somewhere in between.
And its a pretty screwed up situation.
Seems like things were never to be made simple for me.
I've just been given the tougher route of life, in terms of emotions.
I can't explain it in words.
But most people wouldn't want to be in my shoes.
It always never works my way.
Something has to go wrong, and I'm usually the biggest casualty.
I just want to be left alone, but at the same time I want to be around my friends.
Its an extremely annoying feeling.
And I have no idea which way to turn.



You Are Much Closer to Your Friends



Your friends are so great, it's hard not to be the closest to them.
As for your family, your relationship with them is probably a bit strained.
It's okay though. While you can't pick your family, you can pick your friends.
And you've picked some amazing friends who count as family to you.

Title : Heroes Of Our Time
Artist : Dragonforce

Lost in a dream, finally it seems,
Emptiness and everlasting madness,
See the sadness grow, watching as we know,
Long before our journey for the world,
Call for us, the power in all of us,
So far beyond the blackened sky tonight...
Glorious, forever more in us,
We are victorious, and so alive.

[Chorus]
We'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...

Fly towards the storm, see the world reborn,
Feel the pain inside the voice of sorrow,
Cross the distant shores, find the open door,
Stand alone, in judgment for tomorrow.

Years of pain still haunt us all, we saw the last sunrise,
Take me home, in freedom, for a lifetime...
Pray now for the silence, and the last tears we'll cry
So glorious, this fire inside, united we stand.

[Chorus]
And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...

Free from this world, here for the last time,
Oceans collide inside of us all,
Believe who we are,
The phoenix will guide us,
Freedom will rise once again.

Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us,
Light-years gone by, we're still holding on,
Save us tonight, a star shines in all of us,
Far beyond our lives, still our glory lives on.

[Chorus]
And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...Starchaser...

Our kingdom come, we stand as one,
And we will live for always evermore...

Meaning?

Had a dream last night.
I was standing on the top of a hill facing the ocean.
And at the bottom of the hill I saw her.
Standing in the breeze, facing the sea.
I stopped and stared.
And after what seemed like forever,
White dots of residue started falling down from the sky.
Finally, it snows in Singapore.
She began to stretch out her hand to allow the snow to land gently onto her hand.
It was a gentle feeling and there was a lot of peace and serenity at that moment.
After a long while she started to turn around,
And just as she was about to lift her head to look at me...

I woke up.
Annoying, even in my dreams.
She didn't get to see me.

Alright, enough of that.
How's my week been?
So-so la, not that bad, not that good either
I don't know why, lately I've been feeling lonely, and its my own fault.
I keep to myself and I don't let up.
At home I get easy frustrated.
Why did the maid do something so foolish?
Now the whole family has to chip in and do the housework,
not to mention taking care of my grandmother.
Seriously troublesome.
On top of that I still have O'levels to study for,
and my poly schedule is quite stressful.
Almost 9-5pm everyday.
I don't mind starting early.
I just hate ending late.
Cos by the time I reach home I'd be dead tired.
I used to be able to sleep at 2am and wake up at 7am easily.
Now guess my body has aged.
I wouldn't have the energy to last the day if I did that now.

Anyway, net last week was good!
It was good to be back after going missing for 2 weeks.
Edge was fun as usual.
Really like the new series on 'Search'
Sunday, not too good, I guess.
They wanted the net leaders to go and meet with the primary 6 kids to welcome them into the youth ministry.
I was a little reluctant, as I realised that my brother was one of them.
Monday, went to Matthew's birthday barbeque, it was normal, not super, but not bad as well.
Was really dreading to go to school yesterday, wanted to skip school.
But I went and managed to accomplish a bit.
Ok, my paper starts at 2pm today.
Should get a move on.
Sorry Andrew and Clement for leaving you two alone today.

Someone says my blog sux.
Why can't people just mind their own business.
I don't understand how people can be such lowlifes as to flame others' blogs.
Anyway I'm not going to care much about this.
So long, and goodbye ;)

Thursday, October 23, 2008

Can't believe I woke up at 5am!

So here I am blogging, yes at 5.00 freakin AM.
I guess its because I slept at 8.45pm last night.
Was feeling really tired due to lack of sleep from other nights.
Anyways, my new timetable really sucks.
Wednesdays suck the most.
Full days from 9am-6pm on most wednesdays.
And I still have to retake CARC.
On top of that I have to come back to school every Friday for 3 hours to attend my CDS (Cross Disciplinary Subject), Styles in Media Writing (SIWM).
I have no idea what this subject has to offer.
Hope I pass CARC and clear all my other subjects as well.
Programming is gonna be way harder this semester.
I'm so gonna die.
Anyway, I've been feeling really under the weather.
Hate the rainy season.
Got caught in the rain twice.
Feeling sick, but school is still important.
I should still be sleeping.
But my mind is really awake now.
Should I study?
Or play games?
Or just laze around in bed?
Hmm...

Science!

Ok, so this month has been a VERY long month.
And its still not ending soon.
Had science practical last Thursday.
Chemistry was pretty annoying for the practical.
Physics was ok, I guess.
After practical I rushed off to Changi Airport to take a plane up to KL to attend grandfather's funeral wake.
By MYSELF.
It was rather funny, I guess, the airport staff said those under the age of 17 needs someone to escort them to the plane, and blablabla, I felt like a kid who was lost for directions, but I also felt like a VIP, cos they allowed me to go to the front of every queue.
The wake was good, quite a lot of people turned up.
The wake service was really good.
A crystal clear message to encourage the family.
Burial day, very few turned up due to the timing.
Dad almost lost it, I could see.
Guess I've finally seen my dad shed tears.
It happened in a dream once.
A déjà vu moment.
Circumstances were different but the scene was the same.
Came back on Friday night, a very long and tiring 48 hours, if I do say so myself.
Went for edge on Saturday, had that surreal feeling that I've been gone a long time, yet everyone still was the same, guess this situation only affected me. Oh well.
And today, Chemistry paper!
Was quite ok, I think I can barely manage an A2.
All I need is A2 to get that ultimate prize.
Saw David Lim and Joel Tan at Pei Hwa secondary school.
Left quickly after the paper cos it looked as if it was about to rain.
Been craving MacDonalds all week.
Have been craving Long John Silver, Burger King, Seoul Garden and Sushi as well.
Absolutely love wasabi.
No link, totally random.
Blah Blah.
Something's wrong with my guitar.
Same problem as Sheryl and David.
Gotta change new strings and fix that dent as well.
And I want an electric guitar! (Preferably a Gretsch brand one cos its so cool looking!)
I want it for my birthday and christmas combined!
I'm willing to pay for half of it.
And, school was supposed to start today for Temasek Poly students, but due to my Chemistry paper, I had to miss school.
Oh well, school starts tomorrow den.
Hope all goes well.

Be strong, trust God

Ok, so what we feared the most has finally come to past.
The news came as we were on the way home to Singapore earlier today.
I'm guessing that dad's mind must have been in a whirl the moment he heard the news.
It also made the trip up to Malaysia worthwhile.
At least we got to spend time with him in his final days.
All the suffering has finally left him for good.
He's with God now, rejoicing in heaven with the angels.
He got saved about 3 years back I think.
I'm not too sure about the details, I was just glad that he finally gave his life to Christ.
I don't think that I have appreciated him enough during his time on earth.
He was a good man, always looking out for the family, and making tough choices for us.
He used to cross highways the way we cross normal roads just to get to the market and buy breakfast back for all of us, despite his age.
He walked slowly, but he always made it back safely, by God's grace.
Even when he's hearing became weaker, he still continued to buy breakfast for everyone, walking the 1km+ to the market every morning.
When his vision became impaired, he still continued to do the same, all out of love.
But what did I do?
I complained the food wasn't nice, Singapore's breakfast is better.
I didn't respond when he spoke to me.
I didn't bother to learn Cantonese to communicate with him.
I didn't spend enough time with him, thats for sure.
Every time I went up to Malaysia to visit him and my relatives, he would give me $50 SGD to spend, saying that I was too skinny and needed to eat more.
Yes, I spent the money eating, but I took the money for granted and always expected him to give and give.
Throughout the time spent in Malaysia this time, I felt such a strong feeling of sadness, as I realised that this was the man who used to look after me since I was a baby.
He was the one who watched me grow up and always did what was best for me.
He was the one who always rejoiced and smiled every time he saw me.
And not once have I appreciated him for that.
Like they say, you never know what you got till its gone.
And now, all I can do is hold back the tears and be strong.
While this phrase keeps ringing in my head.

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

Because I know that he's finally out of the pain and suffering, and I can rejoice in this situation because I know that he's with our Father in heaven.
In every season, He is still God, He will never fail, He has a plan.
Even when Grandpa's gone, life still has to move on, we can't mourn forever.
We can look forward to the day when we meet with him in heaven.
Till then, we will carry on living for God, because He will never fail us.

Thank you everybody for showing so much support to me and my family.
I really appreciate it.
Do keep the family in prayer.
And may God help us to be strong.

Malaysia

Ok, so I have only 3 more days to spend in Malaysia.
Its not much, and we don't know how things will go.
Its quite a depressing scene in Grandpa's room.
We rented a hospital bed for him so that there's all the 'functions' needed.
The nurse comes occasionally to chat with him and take care of him.
He's not doing too well, lost a lot of weight, reducing him to literally skin and bones.
Its just like the skin is sagging from his bones when he lifts his hands.
Its really alot of suffering for him.
I can imagine the discomfort he's going through.
Pray.
Thats all I can say now.
Pray that he finally finds eternal peace and rest.
Free from this dying body.
Free from suffering.
Pray.
For the 2 sons, my dad and my uncle, that God will grant them comfort should anything happen.
Its always a moody atmosphere when I enter his room.
He wants love and attention, but i fail to give that to him.
I can't even speak his language, Cantonese.
What am I to say when I'm there?
What am I to do?
All I can do is to hold back the tears.
And to try to grant him some comfort and rest.

Cousins are doing well, having exams now though.
So the fun factor has been cut by 70%
I'm also supposed to be studying, and I did, for 4 hours overall.
Guitaring here isn't the same.
I love my guitar.
So all I can do is to MSN, Facebook and to watch anime.
Occasionally I play a few warcraft customs games and that's it.
We did get to play Fifa 09 on the PS2, as well as card games.

Week of prayer and fasting.
Not much fasting though.
On Thursday, the 2nd day of our arrival to Malaysia,
for lunch we went to a restaurant called Black Canyon.
I ate American fried rice, and had a mocha ice blended with whipped cream on top.
For dinner, we had western!
Sirlion steak, fries, cole slaw, salad, escargot, shellfish, ice lemon tea, cream of mushroom, etc.
Yumm...
Today, had a really good dinner, Chinese food, but we had fried chicken, curry chicken, butter prawn, rice, veggies, and lots of chinese tea.
Although it doesn't sound as good as western food, believe me it comes a close second.
Anyway I'm going to attend my cousin's church tomorrow.
I have a funny feeling that something bad might happen tomorrow.
Shhhh.....

This whole week.
All I've been doing is thinking of her.
My mind's been so distracted.
After not seeing her for such a long time.
I hope things fall into place soon.
I wanna know the outcome soon enough.
The suspense is killing me.

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Ok, updates (Not much though)

I'll be going away to Malaysia for the next week, grandad's in critical condition, leaving him bedridden, I heard.
Yesterday, lazed around at home...
Woke up at lik 10.30, went for lunch, took an afternoon nap and dinner, MSN, den went to bed.
Sounds like a wasted day dontcha think?
Today, at tuition, managed to stay quite focused, because I think I wouldn't have the mood to study in Malaysia.
And the science practical is on 16th October!!!
2 days after I return.
Rawr....
Anyway I can't stop feeding this bottomless pit of mine (the stomach)

It growls a lot, especially at night.
And at tuition today I couldn't take it anymore so I asked Eugenia to make me a sandwich.Ok, when I first looked at it I was impressed. She had it grilled! WOW!
Den I took a bite and noticed something strange.
Yes, I was eating my way to cancer.


Yeah so any way after that went for prayer meeting.
Followed by caregroup.
Dad was chasing me to leave the caregroup meeting earlier.
Dunno why.
When I rushed out he was still having a chat with brother Paul.
Wasted.... =.=

A day of formal (3/4 Style)

Ok so many I'll post some updates first.
Knee feels much better, can finally straighten properly.
And pimple problem improving.
No much pain, just scars....
Ugly, ugly scars.
Not a good time for photo taking la.
Evie says I copied her pose.
Anyway, edge, had a good message, a new series titled, "Search"
It was good, at least everything maaged to link up in the end although I got lost halfway during the message.
After that, had a good dinner at Hougang mall, after a long time of not hanging out with region 3/4.
Sunday morning, the youth wanted to wear formal as a region, but as usual, some of them didn't get the memo, most wore semi formal, I wanted to also but I had ushering duty and it didn't allow me to wear jeans, so had to wear full formal.
JJ came in a tie!
Wow super smart.
Everyone looked pretty good, yeah.



Yup, we stayed back at tampines building the whole day, studying in one of the classrooms.
Well I can say I managed to study a little, I finished a worksheet in 45 mins!
First time!
Usually I take 2-3 hours.
And even after 2 cans of coffee, a pack of cheese fries and a cup of Oreo Milo ice blend with pearl, I couldn't find motivation to study, so chatted with Johnathon and James about Heroes season 3, slowly linked to X-men, and finally Naruto.
The message for evening service was really good.
Although I was nodding off half the time, I really felt that the message was specially meant for me.
And the other words from God during alter call.

Anyway, I wanna apologise again, because today had been a day of tough choices.
I had been invited to 2 different parties.
One is from my long time buddy, Asri, who's Hari Raya party I missed last year as well, I really feel like I let you down this time bro, so I'm sorry.
And to Haziqah, I'm sorry I couldn't make it tonight, parents as usual.
And to Nicholas, real sorry I forgot your birthday was today, thank God I realised it before 12AM or I would really be feeling super guilty...

So thats it, the rest of the photos are up on facebook.

Thursday, October 2, 2008

We looked like a mafia organisation

I wish things would go back the way it used to be.
Friends forever
Would she hear me if I call her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?

Disappointment

So this disappointment is just another way that the devil attacks.
The only problem is that he's too convincing.

______________________________________________________________________

Today was a rather promising day.
But things took an unexpected turn of events.
I was supposed to meet Ivan to go down to town to change guitar strings.
And after which, I would go over to his house to jam because its going to be his first time playing guitar for his net group this Friday.
Wanted to be of help to him, but due to my laziness, I woke up at 10.30am, got scolded by my mother and wasn't allowed to step out of the house in the afternoon.
Spent the whole day online, watching anime and just hopping around the different pages of Facebook.
James wanted me to suggest a nice place to study.
I jokingly suggested the lounge at my condominium's clubhouse, but he readily agreed.
So he came down with Pamela, and met Sheryl there as well, and we studied.
I only studied for about an hour, before going home to have my dinner.
After that, we went down to Buangkok to play basketball with the region youth.
A really huge turnout, which caught me by surprise.
It didn't feel like one of those badminton days where it was just the few of us.
Anyway, this basketball game was the sports 'event' that I had been looking forward to all week, which has only been two days, but whatever.
I have once again injured my knee, I thought it felt better today because I managed to straighten it fully without discomfort, but now it hurts again.
Had supper at the Kopitiam nearby, went home after that.
____________________________________________________________________

Failure is the stepping stone to success.
Which idiot said that?
I've been a failure my whole life and I've never once tasted success.
So whoever quoted that ought to be shot.

Monday, September 29, 2008

Oh dear,
Someone's tailing me.
Better keep a lower profile

Sundays

I didn't post yesterday because I fell asleep right after dinner.
Was feeling extremely tired and just collapsed on my bed.
Anyways, Saturday, had a good time at edge, message was about being a hostage to secrets.
Was a really good message. None should have missed it.
Sunday, had youth band practice.
After that service was really good, the speaker was really like a stand up comedian, so funny but his stories were really relevant to the message.
And he expressed it in such a hilarious way, plus his accent made it even harder for us not to laugh.
Had corporate class at 3pm at Tampines, had to rush down from hougang after lunch, we stepped in only 15 mins late, because we took some time using the toilet.
The lesson was good, on how to plan meetings and how to give a backbone to any meeting you organise.
I needed that.
Evening service was like 2x better than morning service, because he made even funnier jokes, plus his message was really good.
Its been a really long time since I laughed so hard.
Anyway, now back to reality.
Got to study for O's that are coming up, I heard that people retake one or two subjects for O's because their main objective is to change course after their results.
But I'm not changing course, although it would be pretty sweet to head down to Ngee Ann poly to take mech engineering.
I don't want Singapore poly because it's too competitive, and Temasek Polytechnic is too in the heartlands.
Nanyang poly would be nice, since its walking distance, Republic poly, not a chance.

She finally noticed me.
It was simply the best feeling a guy could ever get.
I never thought that someone like her would notice someone like me.
But I'm still afraid,
What if it's the look of rejection?
Is that why they call it a crush?
Because it really crushes someone in the the end?

Where's the black ball arh?

Today was probably the most eventful day this whole holiday.
Went for badminton with region 3/4 ppl.
Had lotsa fun, although I got owned, and the worse was when Esther owned me upside down.
I found out that I'm much better at playing singles rather than doubles, cos I like to have the whole court to myself, I'm a selfish bugger, I noe.
Jordan said that the way I swing resembles a tennis player's swing, so that gives me more reason to go learn tennis.
After that lunch at KFC, abit sinful, but who cares?
JJ ate all the cheese.
Jordan put cheese into his mashed potato.
They made fun of the Gnin brothers.
Had fun talking, after which went to play pool for awhile.
And....
Got owned again.
The joke of the day today, was during the pool match between me and Gab Gnin, we were so engrossed in the game that no one realised that I accidentally hit the black ball in already, which meant that I lost.
But... No one realised until someone shouted, "Where's the black ball arh?"
Then we all paused for a moment.
Then laughter.
My match against Evie was worse.
Got so many fouls.
So many choices to hit, but when I tried, the white ball just weaved its way through everything and either hot nothing, or went into a hole.
Felt so noobish.
At net, same same, I guess, had a rather short net meeting, den went down to SengKang sculpture park to meet the other half of SK net and Punggol net.
Played ice and water, 2 rounds.
Then hide 'n' seek.
Was quite fun overall.
Ice and water, only David could keep up with me and only I could keep up with David.
LOL.
Dashed so fast that after that I just had my vision blurred, due to lack of oxygen in brain.
I didn't noe that they would hang around until so late.
They got so much life.
Me? No life.
Once parents call means must go.
Rawr.
Lucky Sheryl was there, if not I would have had to put up with verbal assaults from dad, I expected him to like scold me like hell when we reached home but I just locked the door.
Haha so now I guess I'm just gonna watch bleach until morning, and try to get some sleep.

I want to spend at least one day alone with her.
But she just doesn't notice me at all.
All fear of rejection will overwhelm me when I think of intorducing myself.
I don't know unless I try.
But the humiliation of rejection is far worse than I can take.

Thursday, September 25, 2008

So, about my day...

Ok, so today wasn't that bad of a day, considering I accidentally bit my ulcer, my mind couldn't focus during tuition, I got a mini heart attack and my knee felt like it loosened.
Ya, pretty uneventful, dontcha think?

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Trying to find my mood back.

Found this lame picture the other day, just felt like putting it here.
Had no mood to do anything these past few days, other than to eat, sleep, and use the com.
Was really outraged yesterday when my internet was experiencing some difficulties.
I even wanted to use a hammer to smash the modem, but thanks to some help from Felix, the tech master, boss drummer and electric guitar solo expert (I hope you're reading this btw), I managed to fix up the connection.
So managed to keep up with my dose of animes.
But now, something happened with my graphic card, and I can't seem to get into my games.
So I've just been doing something extremely lame the past few hours, and thats doing the impossible quiz 2!!
http://www.notdoppler.com/theimpossiblequiz2.php
Its an amazing hair pulling, brain teasing game that made Alan and James go bonkers!
You should really try it out sometime, after exams of course, cos you'll get addicted.
And if any case you don't like the song that's playing on my blog, well, thats too bad.
I like it!
Haha

Monday, September 22, 2008

Hmm...

God's been speaking to me in many ways.
I only just realised.
It started since care group meeting on tuesday last week.
When J.S talked about how we shouldn't lose our vision and focus that God once gave.
On friday, he shared something similar.
Saturday at edge, he shared about being a hostage to lies, and the dangers of it, and how to overcome.
Sunday, the message was on drifting.
Tokyo drift! Was the first thing that came to my mind.
But it was a serious message that really made me ponder.
But it didn't hit me as hard as it did just now.
All because my mind was clouded up.
So I heard the song "Desert Song" by Brooke Fraser, and it hit me.
No matter what I'm struggling with now, God will make a way.
He will be my victory, and no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
Although CARC supp paper looks like a lost cause, I believe that God still has a plan whether I fail or not, and I'm ready to brace myself for what the world brings, because I know that my God will save the day.
Ok, so i deleted the post below....
Cos i felt that maybe the feelings expressed there were too strong and violent.
Might be making another blog in livejournal, so that locked posts are enabled.
But I do apologise, cos that post has come under much scrutiny by the people around me.
So it appears that I might have made many rash decisions.
So yeah.
Had more friendly advice from net leader again.
My net leader is so wise. (~I'm not worthy... I'm not worthy....~)
Always seems like she does the right thing.
Hmm.
How to make better decisions in life?
Teach me, and I will surely learn.

Moody....

Posted the last post at 3.10am.
Set my MSN status to (Sleeping).
But stayed up till 6am...
Just pondering about where I went wrong in life.
The constant screw ups, my friends, bad experiences.
And realised why my parents don't trust me.
It was a revelation that hit me right there.
The vicious cycle.
Due to my lack of performance, they limit my freedom, due to my lack of freedom, I do worse and worse in school.
Its the attitude, I guess.
Had only 3 hours of sleep last night.
Now having no mood to study what-so-ever.
+ parents want me to skip evening service to study.
When I have no mood at all to study.
I'm just blankly staring into the CARC notes.
Trying to absorb but nothing goes in.
At least I managed to have a chat with my net leader last night.
Finally somebody who bothers to hear me out in my time of need.
Thank you so much.
What I need now is lots of encouragement to even continue on with life.
Cos it seems so pointless.
We're all working our way towards a happy life before we meet death.
But I hope that my attitude can change, and hope that I'll start to see things with a new perspective.
I'm hoping for the best.
Sorry for all the wordy and EMO posts this past year.
My vision has just been really cloudy and I'm currently emotionally unstable.
Confusion just hitting me from everywhere.
Attacks from the enemy just keep coming and coming.
I need emotional healing.
Give me time, and I'll give back the Arthur everybody once knew.

Not so quick update...


Ok, so here's an update of what's been happening...

Friday 12th September 2008
Esther requested that I teach net lesson and play guitar for net worship.
Stress!
Hard to juggle between the 2.
But I guess it turned out quite fine.
Although she said that I'm expressionless when I teach.
Its true.
Emotions are quite hard for me to show sometimes.

Saturday 13th September 2008
Slacked in the morning.
Went to edge in the afternoon.
And had an awesome time at edge with Jon Pritikin.
He's a world record holder for being able to roll up a frying pan.
He has many more stunts too.
Incredible ones.
Take a look!








Yeah after that went for dinner with the youth.
Smuggled a BigMac into hougang mall's food court.
Had a discussion about music styles with the youth band.
Fruitful discussion.

Sunday 14th September 2008
Sunday morning service.
Went for youth band practice.
The night before, fruitful discussion.
Practice, not as good, the song did pretty well, second was just messy.
Guess its because I don't quite like the song.
Hmm.
And the whole song is just one chord just that we have to change key many times.
Practice strumming then.
Ushering duty,
Tiring.
Welcoming usher as well as offering usher.
So hard to keep that smile when greeting people.
Dunno why.
At least they appreciated the ushers at the end of the service.
And....
Learned a new song after service.
Nice song, and easy to play too!
Shall keep practicing that song.

Monday 15th September 2008
Went down to hougang sports hall to play badminton with Alan, Esther, Gabriel, JJ, Josephine, Joshua & Jordan.
Was quite fun, at least I managed to exercise a bit.
After that went to have lunch near Josh's house and went to his house to slack awhile.
At least now I know where Joshua lives so I hope I don't have trouble finding my way to his house for care group tomorrow.
Oh well, Its been a long day.
I guess.
Feeling sleepy now.
2:04AM
zzzzZZZZZZ.

After all's been said and done
She still doesn't acknowledge my existence
Why is that?
Ignorance is bliss, they say.
But what if this ignorance is the root
Of what's to come?
An accident, perhaps, or maybe not?
Life is precious,
So it is worth dying because of her?
When will this end?
Or when will it start, rather.

Been just having tuition all the way...
Except today.
Met up with Aiman, Ain and Haziqah.
Didn't have any solid plans so we just hung around causeway point before and after dinner.
Dunno why I'm feeling so hungry today.
Ate a plate of chicken rice and had another meal at Macdonald's only like 20mins later...
zzzZZZZ.
Metabolism rate is a bit weird for me i guess.
Even right now I'm feelingg rather hungry.
But its unhealthy to eat at such a late hour.
Joshua invited me to play badminton with Gab tmr, called JJ along but cancelled last minute cos Joshua had another appointment.
Had been a super lowlife these past few days.
Tuition and gaming.
Thats all I do.
And....
I only failed one module!
So happy.
Only have to take 1 supp paper.
Although I got D for everything, its really by God's grace that I passed everything, cos my first term test results were pure ultimate crap.
And the module that I failed was because it was at an inappropriate timing, as well as me, being as forgetful as ever, I forgot to bring my pencil box that day which resulted in poor me calculating everything with my super rusty brain.
Its like 6000 divide by 1024 that sort of equation??!!
So ya, I got an F, a big fat F for CARC.
And its also due to that darn lab test, which I must've sucked at...
I'll stop making excuses, cos I know its also due to lack of preparation.
Maybe I should post some super lame jokes...

A student was attending a chemistry class. The teacher said, "The formula for water is H2O and its very vital that you remember this because its coming out for your tes
t tomorrow."
And true enough, the question came out on the test. So the not so smart but v
ery literal student wrote his answer as, 'The formula for water is HIJKLMNO (H to O)

A pregnant woman met with an accident and falls into deep coma. Six months later, she awakes to find that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asked the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, "Ma'am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine, your brother came in and named them.
The woman thinks to herself, "Oh no, not my brother. He's not a very smart person". Expecting the worst, she asked the doctor, "What's the girl's name?" The doctor replied, "Denise". The mother is impressed that her dimwitted brother managed to come up with such a fine name, so she asked the doctor about the boy's name. The doctor said, "H
is name is DeNephew."

A man wanted to take her girlfriend out for a date. So he arrived at her house and waited for her as she got ready to meet him. When she came out of her room, she had a huge red lipstick mark on her forehead. The man was greatly disturbed by this and asked her,"Where did you learn to make up like this?" The woman replied,"But yesterday you told me to make up my mind??!!"

A boy was in Sunday school and the teacher was teaching him how to pray. She said, "You must always begin the morning with prayer and your prayer can be as simple as Good Morning Lord".
The next week the teacher asked him,"Did you pray this morning?" The boy promptly replied,"Of course I did. When my mum woke me up, I immediately shouted,"Good Lord, its morning!"

Well I guess thats all. Maybe some photos will make this post less wordy.
I'll show you the lame stuff I've done this whole holiday so far.






What'd I tell ya? I'm a real lowlife here. The only reason why I'm in love with this game is because it offers total freedom in the gameplay, unlike other games where you have to follow a specific way of doing things. And there are so many hidden things in this game which I've yet to find out about. So I guess I'm stuck with this game and my Fifa 08 until the newest version of GTA comes out.
So I guess that's it.
Will be posting more lame jokes in time to come.
Look out for that!
And also cant wait for the weekends where I can get to see the Region 3/4 friends!
Woohoo!

Weekends!

Ok so the holidays have been pretty boring so far, tuition, sleep, eat, tuition....
Relatives came down from Malaysia on saturday morning at 2am...
Stayed till Sunday afternoon.
Grandpa is not doing so well, has a tumour in his face.
Grandma is also suffering from body aches.
My youngest cousin, Joel Phua was hogging the TV the whole weekend, watching nothing but playhouse disney, why the heck do I even have that channel man...
Friday night, no net group, went to play basketball with church youths,
but only managed to play for like less than 5mins.
At least I got my butt off the chair in front of the laptop and went out for some fresh air,
That was all I needed,
Other than that, have really been rotting at home....
even reduced to playing GunBound with James cos he was bored also.
Was supposed to go watch the movie 'Death Race' with friends but most of them weren't free.
So just slacked and slacked.
I have to kick this slacking habit,
maybe I should go for a run, or exercise a bit,
the basketball was probably one of the most strenous exercise I had the past few weeks,
I'm not kidding.
Anyone interested in playing sports with me just call, I'll be glad to join you, depending on the venue as well...
Well, thats all, most of my friends have school tmr, I have tuition....
Boredom!!!

Nothing much...

Just wanna apologize to a few people on this post,
I just feel that I've let down a lot of people last week and this week,
First up, I apologize to Haziqah and Aiman for leaving so early after the ubin trip, was really feeling tired.
Next, I apologize to Jonger for arranging to meet at 11am at Peirce Secondary but ended up 2 hours late.
Sorry to Valerie for arriving late for net and not having time to practice for worship.
Sorry to Sheryl and Jessica for coming late for discipling on saturday.
And sorry to mum for being so forgetful...
Hope everyone forgives me.

And just thought about this song when I was reflecting on saturday's edge service lesson. About anger, how its like fire and it will continue to grow if you fuel it, etc...
This song is called Everything Burns by Anastacia featuring Ben Moody, the ex-guitarist of Evanescence.




Lyrics :
She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing

Chorus:

'Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this faith
And all of this pain
Burning all down
Cause my anger reigns
Everything burns

Ohh

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
To consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

Chorus:

'Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this faith
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns

'Til everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
(All fade away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams
(Watching it all fade away)
Oooh, oh
(While everyone screams)
Burning down lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this faith)
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Til everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
(Oooh, ooh)
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away

a quick recap

Heard part of this song on a TV program earlier.
Lyrics are so like what I feel about her



[Chorus]
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon lets try

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

You beautiful soul, yeah



So back to reality,
Ubin yesterday was good!
Besides the weather and muddy conditions.
Was really challenging and I must say I havent had this much of a challenge in years.
Cycling's straining, but beneficial.
And today, went back to Peirce, hoping to meet some teachers,
but disappointing, so many of them left so early.
only managed to meet up with my DNT teacher,
DNT was one of the subjects which I failed in O'levels,
so was rather paiseh =X
And net group,
was pretty good,
good lesson, good fellowship as usual,
played monopoly disney version after net,
I got the character of sleeping beauty cos i love to sleep =P
And what else?
hmm....
I can't think of anything else,
Heard that NUS service was good!
praise the Lord!
And edge tmr,
will probably slack the whole day before going,
and now that its the holidays,
I should be given more freedom tmr, so ya,
well, I guess that pretty much sums my whole week,
take care, God bless.
