New Beginnings

2008-09-12T12:35:00.002+08:00

Well, the reason why I haven't been blogging here is mostly because I've been using a book as a journal instead cos its more private and less troublesome than blogging. That's an attempt to be more toughtful about things that happen in my life or observations and pointers that i gather from people. But of course the secondary reason is because I'm too lazy to blog. as usual eh. =)

so yes, to the random people who drop by once in 6 or more months...well i don't know if i'll continue with this blog but i won't delete it I guess! cya all =)

Dear MATTHIAS WEE RUI DE

APPEAL FOR ADMISSION TO NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE ACADEMIC YEAR 2008-2009

I regret to inform you that your appeal for admission or appeal for change of course to Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has not been successful.

The Admission Appeals Committee had considered your appeal and re-evaluated your application carefully, paying close attention to your strengths and expressed interests. However, due to the exceptionally strong applicant pool for Medicine and the limited places available for the course, the Committee has had to disappoint many students like you.

We thank you for taking time to submit this appeal and wish you all the best for your future.

Well so this is it..I don't know..is this a sign that I'm not meant to study medicine? People tell me maybe its not God's will, but if I apply that principle to everything in life, won't that be used as an excuse not to try again for failures? but then again, sometimes God may want us to put in more effort or His answer may be wait. So yes..I guess I'll just carry on in RBS and commission as an officer first, then apply next year.

Small People

2008-06-24T13:04:00.003+08:00

I dunno why, but recently I've developed a strong dislike for small people with small ways. I obviously don't mean short people, its figurative! Constant childish behaviour, shallow or insincere comments..such things just get me down. The shallowness of conversation is shown from the subjects talked about..girls, soccer, what to do.. pretty much it. Its sad how the outward appearance of someone is such an important factor in judging a person. I hear comments about this lady, that actress (yeah no guys cos its army eh)..blah blah..how "her legs are too fat" , "eyes too small" , "ears too big" or "just damn ugly." This behaviour is simple abhorrent. Especially if the so-and-so commentator is not the slightest bit nice looking himself. Anyway, even if he is, it still doesnt give the right to mock at another person's looks. To me, its just a matter of keeping comments to myself, especially if they aren't flattering, or if you know that saying it will not help in any way. Yeah, but that's just me lol. I have a kind of "low standard", as some people put it. Its more like no standard. lol.

Ok I've no time or will to continue! Just wanted to write this down since I've been wanting to but have been too lazy to. =X

2008-06-20T22:53:00.003+08:00

God, if the doors you have opened are not wide enough for me to walk through, do open a window that I may crawl through

Oh how incidental, today's my birthday. I'm 19! =)

Medicine medicine medicine...

AHHHH.

ARMY

2008-04-04T19:31:00.002+08:00

Hello I'm blogging. Finally! haha..so many things have happened since last year man. phew. anyway, now I'm in army, already into the command school phase. looking back, i never believed that i could go into army man haha. just couldnt see myself enlisting and following routines set by others. its so against my nature heh. but here I am in ocs! sometimes i dunno how i've endured through the last few months, without getting my ankle busted or any other injuries etc..guess I have to thank God for bringing me through so much! =)

For me, the thing abt army is not the PT..I really dont mind training etc esp running..but i hate the outfield! GRR. wearing the vest and helmet..not bathing for days GRR. gah. haha. and of cos the lack of free time! and freedom. that;s so precious man.. sigh. But well, I trust God will carry me through the next few months!

Anyway one good thing that resulted from this is that I've become more confident about professing my faith..even in front of the whole wing. My wing commander asked me to share my personal vision, and I couldnt think of anything but saying that it is to serve God faithfully my whole life, and from there stems all the values that i hold to! Thank God for giving me the courage to say that, cos now I have the responsibility to show through my life God's work in me. I like it that my wing's stand is no vulgarities etc, though it may seem a bit weird not hearing Fs in every sentence lol.

I miss going out with church people! there's a kelong trip next week i'm so jealous! haha. argh miss you guys badly. the sad thing is even at the end of the year i may not be able to take enough leave to have fellowship with church people. so no PENANG trip! =(=( cries. haha.

OK i have to go alr man.. nice blogging matthias! =D

Prelims, sentosa, relationships and church

2007-09-26T11:39:00.000+08:00

Wow. I feel like a stranger looking at my blog. Heh. Havent blogged for so long. There's no much to say, no time to do so. Oh well.

Let's see. Prelims are over..I've been mugging like mad for the past 2 weeks..and slacking since friday. Phew. Gotta study today. Had 2 class outings and 1 chorale outing within 5 days. Pretty fun and relaxxxxing. Sentosa took its toll on me though. 2 days of it! Argh i'm burnt quite badly heh =) but it was fun! Time of bonding and relaxing..and realising how unfit we all are =D

I've been gravely insulted this past week about my 'lack of romance' hahahaha. All I can say is, if you think that about me, you don't know anything about me. Yup. =) I guess most people don't..haha. No one in school I guess. And about being stingy, I prefer to call it thrifty. Learn to spead within your means, that's all I can say. You ain't working, don't spend more than you can take, and not unnecessarily. Esp on sponging GF/BF. Ok I'd better tone down a bit. To me, a relationship always has to be a 2-way one, in terms of affection, communication, and even financially (dating in this case). It's true that a guy should pay for most stuff, esp if its on a date. Ahah! The keyword here is MOST. Not all. And I dun think a girl should sit back and allow a guy to pay for her every need, its just not polite at all. Maybe after marriage but certaintly not when dating. A guy is not an ATM.

I thank my parents for cultivating such a sense in me, its sorely lacking in many youths today, especially since the general rise in income for most families enables parents to give their children more pocket money, causing children to value money less. It doesn't mean that if you get say, $400 a month, you should spend as much of it as possible, eat at restaurants all the time, buy expensive clothes, of spend it all on your GF/BF. Lol. That's my opinion. But I guess people have differing standards. That brings me to another point: expecting people to conform to your standards. Firstly, others may not be as rich as you. Secondly, others may not be willing to spend such money though they have it, as they don't hold to the same values as you. Of course the converse is true, and I should learn to be less critical of those who spend money like water =) there's a chinese proverb for you! =D How a person spends his/her money should be a private thing. Unless it falls into extremes, and of course a friend should always advise him/her. I hope I'm not a miser! =D Think I'm one? I've painstakingly saved $400+, but I certaintly dun think I'd forgo anything just to save money. Heh.

I hope I've not offended anyone, I'm just offering my views, so that anyone who's critical of them can understand the reasons why I refuse to hop into some random restaurant whenever the impluse strikes. Ok I dont really know why I have to worry about what people think; don't like it, too bad =) It's not like I'll rather pick up a $50 note than save a friend from drowning, or not treat a person who's really hardup for cash (unless he/she brought it upon himself/herself). Many people owe me a couple of dollars here and there, but I don't like to chase them for it. Heh. Execpt Laila! $86 bucks for grad night..LONG overdue! hahahah. tsktsk.

Since I'm actually blogging.. I'll talk about church. About 2 months ago..my parents transferred membership to a sister church from the same denomination (ERCS), because of the divorce and remarriage issue. It really long and comliicated, but basically, My former church (FE) held to allowance for remarriage of the innocent party, but my present church (CE) was against. Yup, so after this controversy, the denomination split, which needless to say, was painful. My parents moved to CE together with my younger bro and I, while my older siblings stayed at FE. Then, I hadn't taken COF at FE, so I just moved with my parents. ANYWAY, 2 months have passed, and its still very hard to find a footing at CE.. to say the least. Us J2s, we've all grown up together as a proud batch of 16 or more (the biggest!!) in FE.. and since then, many have left or drifted away. Now, Julia, Aaron and I have all moved to CE. As much as it is that doctrinal purity must be upheld, its very hard to leave so MANY friendships behind.. esp when it is hard to integrate with new people. Sigh. I've no time to write more. Another day!

CYA!

Class Outing/ Sleepover

2007-07-02T11:03:00.000+08:00

Yawn I'm feeling the aftereffects of sleeping for 2 hours. Haha. Let's talk about class outing on fri.

I'm sorry I didn't plan an outing sooner. LOL. All I could think abt was COMMON TEST. Bleah. So quite few people could come.. abt 8, after some pang sehs. =D We met really late cos our dear gerald tay decided to come at the last minute and he was SO LATEEE. but oh well. cycling rocks! =) havne'nt exercised for a long time and it felt good moving my legs lol. though it not really tiring unless you start racing like what gerald and adam did hah. i think i really love the feeling of wind blowing against me. WHOOO! So shuang. We were supposed to go to Settler's to play but gerald wanted to lan. ZZ. and the girls agreed. lol. we discovered a new lan shop at ecp so went there to play dota. LOL. so funny. Zhi ying, sophie and Han Xin didnt know how to play at all. so we werent allowed to kill them, though i must say i was very tempted to do so. =) esp when the CM kept attacking me. Han Xin lah!! lol. killed gerald's troll many times with my NA hehe. NA pwns anything with less than 1.3k hp. One time HX killed adam and I with her freezing field and it was really funny. "deathglarewoman killed MattX for an extra 400 gold!" "deathglarewoman killed ____(adam)__ for an extra 400 gold" "DOUBLE KILL!" LOL. HX was literally screaming wth happiness. lol. so fun to kill people right. =D anyway gerald and I continued lanning, after the rest left. so lame right. zz. waste moneyy. went for dinner with him before going back. talked a whole lot of crap. hahah. fun lah.

Sleepover at zhi ying's house was quite successful. =) naturally it started late, by almost 1 hour. was 8 when everyone reached. watch harry potter for a while, ate dinner, which was some pasta made by zhi ying. we ate it despite her bro telling us that she poisoned it lol. he's funny. not bad ok! hahah see zhi ying i praised your cooking. did you cook? =D your bro said you only diced tomatoes =D. anyway we played this really wild water bomb fight, girls against guys. in the porch. super funny lah. the guys were completely owning the girls lol when sophie cheated and used the HOSE. LOL. of cos all hell broke loose. haha. that retard gerald started bathing with it and dancing away. seriously mad. then he sprayed everyone lol. darren dumped a bucket of soapy water on sophie and ZY..oh there was milk in it too! HAHA. i think we woke the whole neighbourhood up. oops. sophie threw HUGE water bomb from the balcony on top and missed all. haha. anyway we went for some random crazy walk along the road, meaning to reach gerald's house. but we turned back again haha. watched zhi ying play her girly game-Audition. and the guys thought it was so easy but it wasnt! haha. basically you have a character that competes with others to gain points by dancing, by follwing arrow keys and pressing spacebar for every few beats of the song. LOL. we create this silly account "stoopid" and went in insulting everyone. ha! watched V for Vendetta, it was good. super long though. ordered macs at 2am. i tried to sleep but it was too noisy. ZY kept insisting that i was grumpy so i shouted at her "I AM NOT GRUMPY!" hahaha. so retarded. finally slept at like 6am lol. crazy. wwoke up 8, washed up, some of the guys left. the rest just stoned around till 10. we slept on the sofa lol. with hyqel playing nice soft music on the guitar. hahah. i liked th sleepover, it was so slack and random. lol. thanks ZY! haha. i think her house is the best lah. her parents are so nice and tolerant and there's so much space. haha.

oh i'm such a loser. on sat i went gym, then swam. so shiok man. haha. but you know its pretty boring to swim by yourself, so like i used to do, i 'competed' with this ang moh man. he was swimming freestyle and i swam breaststroke. of cos freestyle is naturally faster so i had to really kick and pull a lot. lol. yah i 'won' but i pulled a muscle. LOL. so loser right! that was my first time swimming in 2 years. ha. wanted to run in the evening but couldnt. think ill run later on. sigh so unfit. ><

ok gtg liao..haha. school tmr! ARGH. going to get back all the lousy results. NOOO! ok bye!

Death

2007-06-25T16:18:00.000+08:00

Today, the first thing I did after waking up and washing up was to read the papers. Immediately I noticed this photo of Thaddeus, a j1 crosser from my school. I thought "wow" cos he must have won some race or something. So I laid the paper out to read the article. To my horror, it was about his collapse and death after recording a P.B in a triathlon. I was thinking, "Oh man it can't be!" But yes, the truth sat there staring at me in black and white. Dead. 17 years old. And a crosser too.

I dunno why I was so shaken. I mean I dun know him personally, just heard of him and saw him around school, or heard Eli talk abt him. Maybe its cos he was from RJ, was from cross country, was close to my age. I suppose when death strikes it has a powerful influence on many others, even those unrelated. I really really empathise with his family and friends. To be taken home in such an abrupt fashion is really shocking, to say the least. He was training twice a day! That's super hardworking and focused! Maybe he pushed too hard. Eli said he ever fainted during training before. ARGH.

This incident is yet another reminder of how temporal life is, how vain Man is when he claims to be able to control the things around him, because no matter what he does, death is still inescapable; it still remains as a black maw feeding on the void of life. Indeed life is "a vapour which appeareth, and vanisheth away." Dunno if that is a direct quote but its somewhat there. Life's so much more than just exams, doing what you enjoy.. whatever. I can't judge anyone, cos I dun think I'm at any level to be able to do so. But pls, whoever reads this and is not a christian, PLEASE think about what life is about, especially life after death. Ok, I'm not going to talk abt meaning of life etc or go into a religious discussion, cos I may offend some people. But I do hope you will spare some thought on that.. its a reminder for me too. To BUCK UP!

Spent the whole day mugging chem, but its really hopeless cos I've not touched j2 work at all. Also was thinking about why shld I be stressed about CT2 when its SO insignificant compared to the larger scheme of things, to God's eternal plan for the world. Listened to lots of music on my mp3, esp christian ones.. over and over again..Just HAD to blog about this. Anyway I love the verse on his orbiturary:

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Can we, can I say that with as much confidence as Paul did?

Bio and the Bible

2007-06-24T19:34:00.000+08:00

My family was having devotion and we read this passage from Romans 11: 16-24.. it was so related to BIO! =)=)

i studied cloning in plants and this passage talked about grafting into the tree of Life. hehehe. how appropriate.

ok that was so random, just a fun fact. hehe.

oh i cant resist adding.. yesterday's KAP studying session was really funny! =) jere you are so blur. he recorded 50 minutes of our conversation cos he accidently pressed shar's mp3 player's record button instead of the OFF button. and the stuff we said was so funny! LOL. evidence of celest's msn ahem..SKILLS, justin failing to insult shar, me thinking that a key chain what-you-call-it was a ring.. lol. also shar going to the toilet LOL! super funny lah. anyway i'd better go study. night!

Being 18

2007-06-20T00:28:00.000+08:00

Well, I'm 18! =)

I dun feel old. Not yet! Hehe. But well I just have some thoughts..

First of all, thanks to God for carrying me through 18 years! It has been trying at times but with His guidiance, plus that of my family, church friends and school friends..I've survived! =D

Celest claims the right of being the first person to wish me happy birthday! Well she almost did, but I didnt check my phone to get the call. Justus wished me at 12:03 but she called at 12:01. LOL. Both WIN! =)

Well on saturday I studied with celest at KAP till 8+pm then went for dinner. (skipped KS ulp) Queued for the famous Satay Bee Hoon for a long time lol. But it was really nice! Anyway that's beside the point lol. We did talk quite a bit. We realised that there's much we missed out on during secondary school life and JC.. plus how the good old days of sec 1 and 2 were gone forever. 10 memories of that period:

1. Going for KS was the top priority ever. Not being allowed to go for KS was a threat back then! Now its more like duty..
2. Sec2- Lanning with celest at AMK before KS every sat! Ponning training and lying to our parents together. Ok that's not a MORALLY sound memory but it was fun then.. though sinful =(
3. Looking forward to sunday school each week where the 16-17 of our batch (the biggest ever in church!) had really memorable cathecism classes where we tricked my father into forgetting to give memory verses
4. When the church was FULL every week and the mezzanine had to be opened
5. Dreading each and every cross training but feeling wonderful after completing a tough workout. And ponning too many. ARGH
6. Having fun in school through massive paper ball fights and talking rubbish with Yi Liang
7. Sec3/4-Becoming a group leader in KS and being filled with zeal to serve
8. Sec1/2-Talking to celest almost nightly about everything from utopia to school to life to church, until our parents thought we liked each other and were so afriad:"Tell me truthfully, do you like celestine?" Me:"?!!?!?!?" Them:"Cousins cannot marry!" LOL
9. GOing for outings with church batchmates: P6er's outing, Sec1-4 outings.. having such a great time fellowshipping... so many have left us!
10. Writing and directing a play for KS 10th anniversary. Planning warm-ups for rehearsals and doubling up with laughter at the antics of the cast. =)
11. Ok this exceeds but I must not forget writing millions of letters to celest at the rate of once per week or twice when we had tuition! Seriously dunno how we did that!
12. Man one more. Sec2-Having chinese tuition together with celest and justin at celest's bishan home. Such times we had! laughing at Xu Lao Shi's exclaimations that the huge rainflies "Will bite!" ,horsing around, competing in answering close passages..basically not listening and just horsing around. which explains my d7 =)

As I look back I think I've got much to regret.. not taking a more active role in school, skipping trainings, playing in the com lab, lanning in excess, lying.. well the list goes on. My parents have kept telling me how I have the ability to excell if I put in the effort, (well not to boast..lol, most parents think highly of their children) which is true to a great extent. Do bear with me as I list my regrets. Sorry I'm indulging in regret and its really selfish but I want to confront myself with them. Witness the outpouring of matthias. LOL

1. House- I think I was one of the most active members of MOOR house in the initial years, taking part in T&F, DF, Swimming, whatever. But that was it. A committee member. Didn't dare to run for exco, though I think it was already too late after wasting sec 2 in the damned com lab. ARGH. I think I have an innate fear of rejection, dunno if its anything to do with the past. There was this character test, with 4 main categories: Decisive, Inspiring, Stable, C(cant remember). Well I was major I with slight D, which is rather fitting i suppose. But the fear written there was Rejection. And yes I have to admit its very true.

2. Cross Country- I have a love-hate relationship with it. I guess it was one of the things that helped shape my character and physique.(lol) Well, the ponning of training after the blow of C'div Nationals in sec 2 was the ultimate low I suppose. I still remember the heats, where I was the 6th runner out of 6 in the team RI sent, but came in 2nd. But subsequently at the finals I pushed too much, became dehydrated after the 1.5k stretch of beach and gave up. Enough of that. "Great potential" never fulfilled. 4 freaking coaches said that. It seems that as usual I'm a halfbaked participant in almost everything. That's why I call myself a jack of all trades, but master of none. Good in many things but lacking the willpower and focus to see it through. I still love running though. To feel the exhilaration of running downslope, the torture of upslope, the mental and physical challenge to push on when arms and legs feel like rubber, the adrenaline pumping before the start of a run, overtaking people (like the scum I am =D), clocking good times for interval training and many lousy times, joking with teammates after training or during exercises, doing hundreds of retarded toe-touching while standing in a circle, bowing like japanese dolls..sigh. Well I made my choice.

3. Studies- average all through sec school..except lit and english..till now. ok now my lit's dying, but then again no effort put it. ZZ. Again lacking focus..slacking..being lazy..well. They were only good in primary school when I was under strict parental control. The freedom of secondary school was the downfall. Again, talents wasted. I have lots to account to God for. The parable of the talents: God expects more from those with more, and holds them accountable to it. I'm not brilliant, but I'm not stupid either. Intelligence is a gift, and I've wasted it. Pls dun take it as I'm trying to be proud. Now I just have to atone for the last 5 years of excessive sloth. But is it too late?

4. God- well, contrary to what many people think, I'm NOT spiritually strong. In fact, just the opposite. I think Sec3/4 was the peak of my spirituality. Then I was, as mentioned earlier, a new group leader together with aaron and justin, feeling the responsibility on my part and embracing it. Though I was also group leader last year, plus KS Retreat comm, I have been gradually losing interest in KS or church for that matter. What kept me going last year was mainly the threadbare fact that I was the leader and it was a responsibility. Of cos my spiritual slide was not all downward but there were some ups when I tried to correct my path, but it always went down. So YES, I have been backsliding a lot. Now I barely go for KS, and feel strange if I do so. An ex-committee member too! I know I believe in God, but like James put it, I dun have a LIVING FAITH. Lots and lots of head knowledge, plus counter arguments for many theories, but no practical religion. Knowledge is good, but without application it is vain. Pray for me as I resolve to turn back.

5. Relationships- by this I mean friendships. I think I've always been friendly to people I know but extremely tao to people I don't. (at times) Wait that's not really true. Sometimes I think I have split personalities: 1. my extremely fun loving, enthusiastic self, taking the effort to approach others and talk to them etc 2. my utterly withdrawn self, avoiding most people except for those I'm closest to, keeping to myself, being rude and unthinking, basically insecure. I think I've shown much of the latter this year. So there's no Funny Mr. Nice Guy all the time. Its like a facade. No its just my other self. LOL. I still remember how QingQing was shocked at how I felt about stuff when I chatted to her on MSN last year. She thought I was just a happy-go-lucky guy, full of nonsense and jokes. But not so. Take chorale for example, I could have been more proactive in approaching others and forming friendships with the juniors but I just didnt feel like it most of the time. Well to be truthful, part of it was insecurity in my singing ability, which naturally faltered as I lost confidence. I'm just a natural singer, singing best with least pressure, and worse with. But mostly it was just my Mr Hyde showing himself. Haha. Now I've been talking too much about school stuff.. how abt church? Well I think all relations with church people esp my batchmates were slowly fading since j1, but recently it has picked up since phebe josiah and I had a heart-to-heart (sort of) talk one sunday and decided to make the effort to reunite us. Studying sessions@KAP have been the major factor! =) But its just a core of about 8 of us, the rest are drifting or left. Out of the 17 we had, aaron and julia have gone to CE, simeon and joel to other churches, alvis, joshua, noah, lazarus and lemuel never joining us, shi yan and pam drifting away from us.. that makes 9. well its still sad. but thank God for those who are still around. i just read celestine's blog post about me lol. THANKS CELEST! =) I'll write for you next time. I love the photos. hehe. a quote from you to me and now to you! lol "Anyway you've been my neighbour, schoolmate, classmate, bestfriend, cousin, church friend, and i'm glad to have you (: " haha i'm so unoriginal!

Well I'm really digressing. See I'm slipping into my 1. mode. Its like 2:36am now. And I've got lit lesson at 9am. MAN.

As some biblical figure put it "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter! Fear God, and keep His commandments," I shall conclude my horribly self indulgent analysis of myself. I think its really good to be clear about what I've failed in so as to try to change. Of cos there are hundreds more thing I regret but there's no time or space. And there's been a number of proud moments or achievements, though few and far between. I fervently wish I could go back in time to Sec 1, with my current maturity level, (not high at all but better than last time lol) and live my life over again. Heh that's what I told celest. But as she put it "There's no time for regrets, we just have to move on from them," I guess it has been God's will all long and He's been trying to teach me this lesson. So I cannot regret anymore but seek to keep to my resolve. DO IT!

Well if anyone managed to read till here, pls dun be alarmed at my really emotionally charged post, perhaps it would be wiser to keep it private but I dun have the option. And maybe its best if others read it too. Was that a good character analysis of myself? =) I want to be a psychologist, maybe. LOL

From my 18th birthday onwards, I pray that I will change my life, with His strength. Good night!

Yay!

2007-06-17T17:24:00.000+08:00

To all those who made Thursday@KAP special, THANKS! =)

14th June wasn't my birthday but you guys celebrated it and it was cool! =) Haha. Josiah almost spoilt the surprise by wishing me happy birthday earlier on. But I didn't notice cos I thot he mixed my father's birthday with mine! (My father's is on 14th) LOL.

Haha it's really funny that you guys complained that I did not look surprised enough. LOL. That's cos I really thought that you all mistook my birthday for the 14th so I asked "Who's birthday is it?" when I saw amanda and jere coming with the cake. HAHA. So funny lah. But YES! I got more and more surprised gradually, which isn't the point I suppose but at least I was! =) hehehe. Like how you all wrote the card without me knowing or planned it so well that I didn't know anything! haha. Its extra special cos it you guys, fellow j2s doing it, plus jere. haha. no wonder shar and phebe kept insisting that they could only make it on thursday. Ha! Yup but thanks! =) I like the bag but I'm not used to carrying sling bags, but I'll try! Brought it to church today.

Yep, its really nice to have a birthday surprise cos I've never had one before, plus my family doesnt really celebrate birthdays beyond going out for dinner or a present or 2. Yep, so I appreciate it lots! Haha. Thanks amanda I know you were the MASTERMIND. or mistressmind if there's such a title. Haha. Yep you are going to honour me on your blog so i shall do the same for you! =) lol so lame.

Pictures later! Dun have them. Anyway, thurs was SUPER coool cos my family went to Sakura to eat, in celebration of my dad's 50th birthday. the food's AWESOME. Phew. We bought him a 200+ dollar fishing reel cos he lacks one. By far the most ex present ever! Hehe. But worth it lah. Thanks daddy! =) and it was my parent's 10th anniversary too! =)

Right, I'm sad cos so many people have gone or are going for church camp but i'm not. =( haha. Ah the sacrifices one makes for studies! LOL. Righto I gtg liao.. haha. BYee. I'll blog more about the last few days another time. =)

Mugging Time

2007-06-09T19:02:00.000+08:00

Whew havent blogged for a long time..too troublesome! Anyway there's really too much to type out, I wish I could just think and they'll write themselves.. haha. Well I'm alive I guess, and trying to mug hard. Pooh. Just finished study camp in church! Quite enjoyed it..Anyway I've gained a reputation as:

Matthias the Mugger King!

Yeah.whoohoo! I love that title. Coined by Sharleen during one of our KAP studying sessions. Haha. Cos I kept talking abt how we need to mug etcetcetc. But thing is, I'm not really a mugger simply cos I can't make it as one! I mostly TALK, and study at weird times so that's the impression I guess. Hahah. KAP study sessions with church people are really good..we do good work and can have fellowship too! =) haha. I like it!

Oh I'm bored. lol. M for Mugging. That's the key. Oh I have to remember not to neglect my spiritual life for studies.. that was one thing we prayed for in our prayer meeting yesterday. Yep! Alright, gtg.. cya

Post SYF

2007-05-09T21:05:00.000+08:00

Phew. SYF's over. Man I really dunno what to say lol. This has driven me to blog! Haha. Well I guess the silver we got should'nt get me down.. its just that the more I think about WHY we got silver, the more pissed I get. Argh! I'm sure lah! Deducting points for transposing key! Like as if it affects our quality of music..bleah. Oh well accept it! Heh. Hope this does not affect chorale in any way.

Was quite upset the whole of today.. leftover emotions from yesterday i guess. Had to do GP compre and it happened to be a hard one! Got quite frustrated and started scribbling crap and cancelling stuff etcetc. Handwriting was horrendous, I can beat Vani! lol. Totally no mood to write man. AQ was made up of 1 sentence and was pretty cynical heh. Anyway, kept talking to Aud and moaning about SYF lol. Marie too. Sat beside Avonne during Lit lect.. haha. The lecturer was crazy, flashing slides every few seconds so she just kept taking discrete photos lol. some guy got caught lol. the lecturer is pretty funny, but I've got no time to describe it! hehe. well when i reached home I went gymming. WHOO. Forced myself to leave the house before I could get comfortable! haha. Wanted to do the normal stuff but there was a whole bunch of guys there using the machines so I just ran and ran and ran on the treadmill. For 50 mins. Man it felt good. All the tension slowly wearing out. Phew. Dratted ankle hurt towards the end. Bleah. But it was really a good experience. Such a relief of pent-up emotions! =) yeahyeah.

Anyway, on the bright side, we did MAKE MUSIC on stage and had fun! =) Yep, I used to dread pracs cos they were really often esp as SYF drew nearer.. but I think the last week was a very enjoyable one. The highs when we sang well plus chin ee's funny heartfelt speeches... the lows when we kena scolded by Mr Toh or feeling sian during sectionals (oops). Well I guess I haven't been very active lately..somehow just don't feel like mixing with people other than classmates and other friends. Yepand plus the pressure from my parents to do work! ARGH. Missed many dinners with chorale people heh.. so I feel kinda strange during pracs. And we wont have anymore..oh well. Guess I have something to regret eh. Argh as usual I'm running outta time. I'll blog more abt SYF another day, may it be soon =) some photos too!

Wow, so many things happened since the time I last blogged! Still no internet connection at home except my mum's laptop and its a PAIN trying to borrow it. Haha. Let's see.. hmm I only can remember Jema leaving for Australia! BOOHOO. I meant to blog about it then.. but its a bit hard eh? Well anyway jema I've something to say to you! =) Take care there in DownUnder.. dun miss us too much, make new friends esp church ones! Aiyah I bet you've already made millions =D Well..hope you fit in the church, dun be scared of them k if they bully you physically just scream and ermm all of us will fly over there to help. Wait that's too slow we'll teleport. Lol so crappy. Andandand! Reply my email! Haha. Trust in God! Oh haha your departure day really made me see the difference bet the way girls and guys express how they fell. Heh. I've always thought myself as being pretty expressive with regards to my feelings (sometimes lol) but that day I really could'nt express how I felt! Haha. All us guys stood by the side and watched you girls hugging and crying or whatever and yeah, just stood there! Haha. And you had to come over to hug us and stil it was pretty awkward! Well.. anyway I'm looking forward to seeing you this december! And let's go to penang again k. It's my year end goal! Lol. I miss penang and judopianotuition! Well I think it was then that we all actually talked some serious stuff other than funny nonsense, esp on the bus ride back. I've always been able to talk to you quite freely though not abt much serious stuff haha. And you've always been a great help in SO many things..like that time before Voices of Youth2 when my emcee script fell apart at the end cos of extra stuff and I had to type it out.. I was super stressed and panicking but you helped me relax lol and typed too. See I remember k! =) I dun have any pictures in this laptop.. so I shall just kop from my blog.. penang pic! Haha. Righto. Anyway thanks Jema and read this pls lol. You never reply my smses so i dunno if your number is the right one. Anyway.. take care and GOd bless. =) Argh I cant find the pic I'm looking for! Never mind lol I'll use another!

Group pic in the top museum!

Jema and Nick lol.

Arghh I've really got no time. Got carried away haha. Oh well! I gtg hope to blog soon =). Oh btw I watched spiderman3 with chorale people..quite cheesy at times but overall great! whoo. I love the ending.. its so sad. Argh anyway.. cyaa!

Life

2007-03-28T12:27:00.000+08:00

Hey..

Irregular blogging eh. Well home com's internet is down so its rather hard to blog! Thought abt a lots stuff but just no energy ha.

Well.. let's see. CT over. Not looking forward for results! Quite screwed up. Anyway did another Pamugun recording cos my prev one sucked so bad. This time it was a lot easier. Yep. Had dialogue session with the Minister of State yesterday. (MOS lol). Quite informative but I wish it wasnt on that day argh. Supposed to meet Celest, Amanda and Justin at Island Creamery for icecream! =( so couldn't go. So sad.

Why do I feel depressed? Lol. Maybe I'm just tired. Dun even feel like going for chorale later. Really miss running. Went running with Gerald on Tues morning. Did abt 10 rounds of track..not bad pace. But super lousy! Haha. Felt like dyingg. Must run more often eh..or not I dun have any exercise. That's the downside of joining a performing arts CCA cos you have to make extra effort to exercise. Sigh. Aim to beat 2.4 timing in Sec4. At least 8:30 eh. Think last year was my fittest but I paced ChongZhi instead. Shld have tried for fastest timing. =) I WANT TO RUN! haha.

Chorale concert 14th april. Bad date eh. Almost all of my classmates cant make it. KS on that day too, at celest's house and dinner provided! Argh. Of all days. Sigh. Oh well. But quite exciting lah.

Ah sian dun feel like blogging already.. bye.

Hell

2007-03-10T22:19:00.000+08:00

Hell is Pamugun. With eternal ding-a-dongs and ning-nongs. LOL. Can't believe how screwed up recording a song can be. With external factors of course.

1. Com crashed, has hundred + viruses etc
2. Wireless screwed up
*3. Mum nagging like there's only 1 day left in the world to do so
4. Noises interrupting the recording
5. Pitch Problems
6. Rhythm Problems
7. Com problems
8. WASTE OF TIME. -_- I'm J2 man. So free eh. CTs next week.

Bio SPA- *significant problem

Finally done after dunno how many tries. And it still sucks though. So off pitch. But I'm beyond caring already. Lol.

Shit I feel like swearing. Control pls! =)

Oh since we're on the rant abt how life sucks, lets add somemore. Sprained my ankle on thurs during frisbee for PE. So wanted to play man. Crashed into this fat guy when he fell after jumping for the frisbee. Sprained for the 4th time in less than 6 months. ZZZ. Parents still dun want to let me go for physio. Too ex, no use, just rest and it will recover.. stupid excuses. Please they expect me not to do sports for as it takes for it to recover when there is an avenue for help? Esp when NAPFA is coming. Dun wanna be a clerk in Army man. If this goes on ill be one. Can't even jump without hurting it. Must confess I swore quite a bit when i sprained it again. Oops.

Whatever. Bye. This sat's one sucky day. Oh well haha. Last night angst. PAMUGUN SUCKS! Grr.

LAME

2007-02-05T15:27:00.000+08:00

Wow, i'm blogging consecutively. Not bad eh, I'm proud of myself!

Heh school today was pretty inconvenient but bearable. Haha. 3N people are so nice! =) Haha. Thanks guys for keeping me company while waiting for the lift etc. For buying food for me too! Lol. Crutches are rather tiring to use but quite fun to walk about in. Haha. Must look at the bright side of things! Yeeha! Thing is I'm pretty independent by nature so depending on people for even the simplest things ain't easy. Ha.

I guess this is a test from God, to teach me not to depend so much upon myself but instead to look to Him. I guess the ability to run, jump, throw etc, basically athleticism, is very important to me. And always will be, I gather. Now He has taken it away from me, not once, but twice. And this ankle will always trouble me I suppose. Ok I'm very disjointed, sentence structure fail liao. Haha. I've learnt to appreciate what God has given to me, I think I should think more about how I can use whatever gifts I have to serve Him to a greater capacity. Maybe I shouldn't have taken a break from KS Ministry, I dunno. Come to think of it, my decision to quit for this year was mostly selfish, to spend more time on my studies -my calling- which is what I have not been doing. Maybe its the D&R Controversy among our churches and God is telling me to "Wake up! Get involved in what is taking place around you!" Well I certaintly need to reflect!

On a lighter note, I've 'upgraded' to the New Blogger..which is slightly better..lol. Well I've found this flower thingy on Wen Hao's blog and this is what supposedly represents me. Ha. Quite LAME actually, hasty generalisation.

You Are a Yellow Flower

A yellow flower tends to represent joy, friendship, and playfulness.
At times, you are childlike, as a buttercup is.
And at other times, you are fickle, like a dahlia.
And more than you wish, you tend to feel bittersweet, like a marigold.

What Color Flower Are You?

Alright, time to stop blogging and do work! Haha. Oh no I just realised that this post will kick out my old penang post with the nice pics! =( Never mind its still in archives haha. One day I'll print all this out man. Sorta like a journal. Argh I missed yet another drama feste rehearsal! Nonono! Stupid ankle lah. Haha. Anyway cya!

2007-02-04T09:41:00.000+08:00

"Dziedot dzimu, dziedot augu, ai-ja, dziedot augu dziedot muzu no dzi voj"

Translation: "I was born to sing so I sing, ai-ja, I will always sing and fill my life with joy"

Hey, stuck at home this sun morning, can't go to church! Cos of the bestbest sprained ankle. Oh well! I enjoyed chorale camp lots! =) Though it was pretty short and I sprained my ankle. Lol. Let me just relate some random incidences.

Hooray for my group, the Hoolidoolies! Haha. We played some pretty silly games like animal concentration, the yeehaa game etc. Chin Ee and his "stern as a bun" and Joseph's weird sounding ameoba (bet i spelled that wrong) were hilarious. And lots of other nonsense.

Night treasure hunt... pretty fun. Good idea to add in the watergunners! Really spices up the game. Ruth and Avonne are super SNEAKY! Esp Ruth. She hid in the stairwell for me to walk by and chionged out. Nearly kena heart attack sia. Joseph ran and ran and ran from them till he was wet with sweat. Haha. Good job with the clues though. I haven't played treasure hunts for a long time, only planned them haha. So it was pretty interesting.

The teachers-in-charge ordered us guys to escort the girls to the bathroom to bathe. Lol. Pretty strict eh. So we few of the guys slept at 12a.m after waiting for the girls to bathe. Whoo. For some reason we all kept waking up during the night.. dunno why, I've slept well on hard floors before. Played a bit of soccer at 6+ (siao eh), almost sprained my pathetic foot again. Capt's ball in the Bball courts for morning exercise. Eh my favourite sport! =) Pretty uneven teams. But anyway, before the cabbage came into play, I happily sprained my ankle. JUst a routine turn and shoot argh. Why so weak! Anyway I immediately hopped off the area, so quietly that only avonne knew. She helped me get ice! ThanksSS!!

Argh my right ankle really sucksss.. After the bad sprain last year while playing soccer with chorale guys. Before that I had never sprained before, even through all the hard running. Woot. This time better see a doctor. Well enough self-pity. Lol. After much hopping around and after choir prac, Aud and ZhiQi told me that I could borrow a wheelchair from the GO. =) It really helped. But I felt pretty extra though. Some people thought I was faking it! That's what Miss Lim asked me, but she was joking lah. She asked if I wanted sympathy. Duh I would rather be able-bodied than be handicapped. She's rather too strict but I like her witty comments and concern.

Station games.. apparently I've finally learnt how to throw a frisbee properly. Watched my group mates play stuff. It was pretty cool eh. Too lazy to write it all down! Isaac (yay i spelt it correctly!) was very good in finding the stickers to give us extra points. The rest were great and enthu. Well sitting in the wheelchair does have its benefits lol. Like being pushed around. Quite song. haha. And I should be thankful that God has given me the ability to run around!

We the Hoolidoolies had a lot of fun preparing for the special night skit. Our word theme was "Shimmer" so Marie came up with the story line. About this old man who wants to give his fortune to the child that had the most shimmery thing. I was supposed to be the old man, but I can't act lah so Joseph took over and he was SUPERB. Haha. "Wa lao peh ai si liao ah!" Super funny lah! Marie or should I say Marie-AH-Carey was awesome in her acting and her funny contributions to the script. She was the "Shimmering Celeb." Yi Hui had shimmering hair which cost $888 to get done, Stephanie had a shimmering bald head with sweat making it more shimmery, Nikki was the Darlie advert with shimmering teeth but with a cockroach in them, Min Si thought shimmering was simmering and so brought her simmering tofu to her "Ah Pa" and got scolded. Isaac had his Shimmering Glorious Male Voice which was an awesome jibe at Mr Toh's Glory of the Male Voice concert. HAHA. A short anecdote of the skit:

Isaac: Dad, I've brought what you have given us since we were very young... (Ah Pa has a confused look) Your genes!

Ah Pa (Joseph) gasps

Isaac: You have taught us how to sing and now I've come to show you my shimmering voice! Listen to the Glory of the Male Voice! (everyone bursts out laughing, Ah Pa nods sagely)

Isaac: (sings) I was born to sing, so I sing--

Ah Pa: --AIYAHHHHHHHHHHH! Why like that lah! How many time must I tell you not to sing alone! Like that got no overtone! Must sing together lah! *coughs and coughs*

Marie-AH-carey: AIYOH! AH PA IS DYING ALREADY! AND I WANT MY MONEY! QUICK QUICK! SING!

Everyone sings.

Ah Pa: Very good... *coughs and dies*

LOL! I like! haha. I was the retard beside the father. Basically acted retarded lah. Special night was really special. =) thanks comm!

On the whole, camp was great! I do wish I got to talk to more people though. Didnt really talk much, partly cos of the ankle so had to be pushed around, how to talk!! I love my group =) What a waste Nerissa missed it. YiHui,Marie,ChinEe,Nikki,Joseph,Isaac,Nerissa,MinSi,Stephanie a big thank you for being a great bunch of people! Hoolidoolie! Paul shift the gear box 1 ,2 ,3 ,4! Hoolidoolies rule! Yeehaa! That's our group cheer. =) Special thanks to Avonne for her care in bringing ice, Yi Kai and Chin Ee for making sandwiches for me, WeiSong for his piggyback, Joseph, Yi Hui, Min Si and Steph for their pushing, all others who showed concern like Ruth, Hui Lin, Nikki, Wen Hao, Jina. Wish I could have helped plan the camp though, I'm itching to plan something for school.. after being excluded in planning house party etc etc etc. Plenty of ideas for activities! Like the human Chinese chess game that is unique to our churches. At least I get to plan KS Camp again! =) Yeehaa! Wish chorale had a table to meet at in the mornings! rather than separate cliques around! Anyway...I shall end with a song: It Is Well With My Soul, since its Sunday, and I shall sing along! Lol i'm mad.

When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll.
Whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say:
It is well, it is well with my soul.

(chorus) It is well (echo), With my soul (echo)
It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought,
my sin not in part but the whole,
is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord oh my soul.

And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll.
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well, with my soul!

Sung is parts, this song is wonderfully moving. And so meaningful! Alright tha['s all.. cya people!

Thanks!

chorale j1s have arrived! haha. i seriously cant remember so many names argh. esp the girls. andandand.. they all seem to know each other so its pretty hard to talk. Partly cos i was feeling rather antisocial on wed. and last sat. and forever maybe =) think i seem to be very tao. =) lol. well anyway i'm glad i was stuck outside my house (again) after prac on wed, so i joined some chorale pple back at J8 area. played silly games like whowhathuh? told stories etc gossip lol. apparently i'll shoot audrey, shag debbie and marry avonne. err pls dun be shocked. its some lame game. and it was random! audaud dun kill me plz! =) got to talk to the 1st j1 on the 156 back.

Luo Wen, ShanShan (err her nickname i cant remember her full name!) haha. 3N ROCKS! haha. science lit classes are the funkiest. everyone is so slack that no one bothers to organise any class outings and stuff haha. and pple are so busy! haha. except me since i only have 1 CCA and am only a member. i suppose ZY and i have organised the most stuff so far. haha. hard to though!

i have to talk to my godsistas more! haha. we aren't really talking much. quite sad. haha. wait till we study together again! wish we had more outings though! we may be very comfortable with each other (as a class) but if no effort is made after jc we'll just drift apart. =( =( jia you 3N! haha.

come to think of it, i do miss RI haha. i mean it was definitely much boringer (lol) but there are some aspects that cant be replaced. like massive paper ball fights. 'bashing' of people. irritating teachers. talking tons of crap. basically stuff that only guys can do. lol. quite superficial but still good. i miss talking to KH, kenneth.. jian liang.. many others. we've been in the same class for tghe whole of sec school. at least i still meet xiao chong, lionel, lip kai etc, my com lab buddies lol. =) great that kenneth and i could catch up a bit yesterday. =) we had fun laughing at kuang hao's blurness. that cow still calls me 'small boy' or is it 'shorty' lol. well he's one person that will forever be taller than me lol.

another thing that i miss.. we had a sch trip to the east part of US in our sec 4 year. my 1st and last school trip! =( great memories. haha. esp since i got to go with some classmates. like kenneth, wei jie, and mr. vice head of council david chan. haha. also had chong zhi and got to know seliyan haha. trying to upload pics but connection to blogger seems to be down! oh wells. i'll try another day. gtg! haha i've blogged on 2 consecutive days whoo! nightt

Hellos..

school is boring! haha. i wish j2s had orientation too. =) cool mann on the 2nd day of school my classmates have started studying! yupyup time i joined them too. haha. well we really need to cos we found out that SO3N is amongst the bottom 7 in the whole cohort, which isn't surprising but dangerous!! Lol. studystudystudy!

*misses the hols* argh. i miss the days when we could just go out and meet for dinner, and play funny card games like STRESS, SUPERSPECIALSNAP and others. Bridge! haha.

sometimes i wonder who reads my blog. some of my ex-classmates do i think. which is pretty weird. arghh. but they dun post anything so.. wells. what else can i complain about? err.. yesyes my pants. haha. too short! lol. when i stand up it barely covers my socks and whem i sit it goes all the way up haha. my mum says she'll make it longer but i dunno when that will be.

many things to be thankful for! I've got a new hp which has a radio function. no mp3 though which is what i really wanted. thanks to my parents! =) got quite a surprise when they passed it to me on the 1st day of sch. Hope i get more reception now. LOL. brooks running shoes.. they really comfortable. =) haha eugene and i have decided to go running together twice a week in school. lets see how it works out lol. in RI when both of us were in cross we always made arrangements but never actually met to run. LOL. now that both of us are ex-crossers it should motivate us more! haha. or not we'll become fat and stupid! na just weak and lousy. haha which is excatly how i feel right now. haha some of the crossers aren't pleased with me cos i quit to join chorale. esp the guys. they must think i'm pretty weird. well that's cos they still have the stereotype of "weak sissy guys" who join choir. that's what i used to think in RI though till about sec4 when i realised that it wasnt true. though i must say the RI guys in choir RV were quite weird to me. haha. but those in RJ are great! haha. you could say more sensitive and a bit more petty, but not sissies k. haha. aud said she thinks chorale guys are manly and i said "WHAT?!" lol. manly's just not the right word to describe them lah. or us i mean =). singing's a talent! just like running or swimming or whatever. haha. funny thing is i still dun feel comfortable telling people outright that i'm from chorale, but rather i quit cross to join chorale. see that shows that some shadow of a stereotype is still lingering around. lol.

hmm the most recent KS meeting was a chatterbox session where we had a delicious lunch prepared by the Lims (thankss!) followed by a time when we wrote our spritiual resolutions for this year and passed them to another person to remind us. which reminds me that i havent msged benjamin yet. ARGH. and BW has not msged me yet! =) haha then i shall remind him to remind me. lol. anyway, i had 4 resolutions:

1) Do devotions daily for month of Jan (for a start)
2) read a book abt D&R issue every week
3) forgive 10 times every day
4) do 10 good deeds every day

the latter 2 are quite hard, esp the good deeds part. pray that i'd be able to keep them! that was a great ks meeting though! hope the p6ers oops sec 1s come REGULARLY!

I MISS PENANG! I MISS KS CAMP! I MISS KSS CAMP! ARGH. I've just descended back into the slough of despond. Na just joking. *smiles bravely* lol.

argh i regret allowing my entry abt KS camp to be put into the magazine. hope no adults read my blog man. it'll be SO weird for my parents to read the entries. at least there wasnt a link in the MEGAzine! maybe i shall go private! =)

alright!! i'm tired of blogging haha. cya!

More abt Penang+ Random thoughts

2007-01-02T16:19:00.000+08:00

Argh I'm sorta forcing myself to blog haha. I aim to finish blogging about Penang! I'll just do a sort of summary of it haha.

Well do be honest I was pretty apprehensive about the trip cos all my fellow J1s could'nt make it for the trip and most of those who were going were younger, all except eunice and Jema. But it turned out to be so fun mainly cos of jere's nonsense, kevin's outspokeness, emelyn's occasional rebuttal of jere, cheryl's witty comments , joseph's corny jokes, jema's funny stories, eunice's childishness! Actually the main thing was just the complete freedom given. Haha. No adults..nnot even BW! =) When the J1s went last year (wait that's lastlast already!) they had fun but not that much cos BW dictated quite a lot of stuff, which is good in a sense that their trip had more structure but less nonsense and fun! We didn't see anything much but the company and fun made all the difference. =)

The thing abt having fun is that sometimes you dun get to talk to people.. the whole thing becomes merely a time to have fun and nothing else, and that wears off after the trip. That was actually the case for the KS Camp and to a lesser extent, the KSS Camp. Well I'm glad that we managed to talk quite a lot on the bus trip back. Jema,Kevin and Jere were at the back of the bus and I joined them there cos we resolved not to sleep and waste the precious time we had left! So the 4 of us started talking. At first it was pretty weird sharing with them cos besides Jema, I've not really spoken to the others properly b4. But it was quite a good session though. =) Found out quite a lotta stuff abt them which I didnt know previously. Emelyn joined us later on too. Haha. I think they were kinda shocked at some of the stuff I shared. Lol. Like chasing Justus around with a knife when we were young. Oopsie. Well we talked for abt 3+ hours I think.. frm abt 10+ to 2am. Whoo. that's why its great!

Haha, Some random photos to post:

Stalled taxi where jema lost camera!! =(=(=(

Final pic at bus terminal *sobs*

Well like Jema said, she doesn't see how the trip could have been better.. and selfishly hopes that the group will be kept the same the next time we all go up. Well I quite agree with her, though I would like to go with the J1s too! But people like Jere are irreplaceble (BET YOU ARE HAPPY JERE!) same goes for the rest too. All the different characters fit in nicely and made it so wonderful. haha. Cheers to a great trip and thanks to God for carrying us though it and blessing us so richly!

Awwright! Random thoughts start here. Argh havent blogged about KSS Camp! I'll just blog a tinny bit about it. It was great! =) basically that's about it. Haha. Too lazy yet. Change topic!

Its 2007 already.. argh. NOOO! NO SCHOOL! I like the people but the work is NOT good. to put it mildly. LOL. haha. oh wells school tomorrow! hey i haveta go meet church people for dinner. Whoopsie! =) gtg! =)

Penang..!

2006-12-22T20:17:00.000+08:00

Hey..

What can I say? Penang was great. Splendid. Stupendous. Haha.

I MISS PENANG!

Lol. If you look frm a typical tourist's perspective, you could say that our penang trip was nothing much, cos we only shopped a bit and hardly saw anything lol. But because of the great company and the freedom... BOOM! The product is a great trip! Haha. Shall I blog abt the trip the same way as I did for KS retreat? Argh. I'll try! =)

16th Dec(Sat)- After Wendy's wedding, Jema, Eunice and I went to Jema's house to chill out till the time we had to go to board the bus. Well, Uncle Wee Beng fetched us together with Kevin and Emelyn to the bus bay..at some run-down shopping centre near Boon Lay. We had a lot of fun laughing at jere's gay pink bag and his pink shirt! Haha. Here's a pic of him:

Anyway we boarded the bus at 9+p.m and tried to play Mafia at the back of the bus lol. But the mean bus driver switched off the lights haha so we tried to sing the Lord's prayer in parts.. and were promptly 'SHHHHHED' by the other passengers. lol. so jere told us 'ghost stories' lol. which were so funny we laughed till our throats ached. haha. something abt a goblin called "IEATPEOPLE" and a fairy called "IDUNEATPEOPLE." LOL. and some retarded evil loaf of bread hahaha. stopped at some rest point and ate. I didnt though cos I was too full after eating my bread. lol. Some picss!

Anyway, we slept (or tried to) for the rest of the journey and reached Penang on sun morning at 7+. Soo..next day PLZ!

17th Dec(Sun)- Dear UCS met us at the bus terminal and we took taxi to his hotel to get ready for church. We were charged an insane price of 12RM for the really short trip. But never mind, the biggest scam was later on haha. Anyway, the guys went to UCS's room to wash up while the girls went to the newlyweds uncle xian bing and wife's suite. Erm when the guys came up, I'll just say that we had an adventure with a certain number of ROSE PETALS. haha! This resulted in some scandalized expressions caught on camera by our photograher Matthias! =)

Well, the Penang fellowship worships in YWCA, a rented place cos they are too small to form a church. The main reason why us youth went up was to witness the Confession of faith and baptisms of some members of the church! And of cos to fellowship with the saints there, esp tim and jon. haha. can imagine what its like there every week, just the 2 of them, only youth. This helps me appreciate the many peers I have in church here in Singapore! Esp my dear j1s =).

Anyway..the service was held in a very small sancturary, a better description would be a big room. haha. We sat on metal chairs. Great thing about such a small congregation is that you can feel the closeness of everyone around you, and the singing just echoes around the room. And we didnt sing psalters, but hymns, which was a plesant change! =) Sermon was by Pastor Paul Goh. Abt the parable of the sower. It really caused me to think if I genuinely am 'good ground' for the seed of faith to germinate. Guess I have MANY ways to improve. I think Paster Goh is really improving in his prayer and preaching. =) He used to repeat himself but now he's quite succinct and his msgs are deeper too I think. Thank God! Here's Ptr Goh!

Ohh we had such a hard time keeping awake. I kept pinching myself like crazy to keep alert! Lol. The Penang fellowship has very few families. prob only 1 or 2 with children! A few couples..singles. Yup I would say abt 20+? Well, plus us Singaporeans they had quite a few people haha. Besides us youth we had people like UCS, ET's parents, Kweks, Yuens.. err a few more. Anyway, we were invited to join the children's singing of christmas carols haha. PIC!

Wa, the songs were really high and we were half dead. haha. aunty Ida (tim and jon's mum) was really enthu and she did a good job! haha. kept the energy there. uncle boon kuang joined us and he saved our voices! haha. never thought I would see the day when I got tired of christmas carols! But it was enjoyable nonetheless. Shld have joined tim jon and teo outside for class. haha.

Went for lunch together. we had to be fetched! i think we were really troublesome. haha. but anyway! another pic! UCS, the kwek family and eunice! haha.

oh yes, i forgot our group photo outside the church. frm left, jema, eunice, joseph, jere, kevin, tim tan, me, emelyn, cheryl. no jonathan though. whywhywhy? lol.

Yes I'm gona hurry up and skip everything till the nxt service! We checked in at YMCA and went for the baptismal service in tim and jon's grandparents' house. more singing, msg by Ptr Goh, abt God's promise to covenantal children. well we had the Confession of faith of uncle paul, uncle jimmy, uncle xian bing and aunty Ida, followed by adult baptism, and child baptism of Nicholas, tim and jon's younger bro. haha, cute guy who loves my camera. picture!

oh yes forgot some pics we took b4 service. here goes:

jema, nicholas, jere and tim tan

jema, nick, me , tim tan

the 3 brothers!

proud jema! =) lol

jema and nicholas. nice pic!

uncle xian bing and wife. thanks so much!

awwright, i've edited the previous post! well, we had a yummy dinner and had fun talking and laughing at jere (who else?) or his jokes. lol. jonathan was watching soccer but gave way to nicholas who wanted to watch cartoons. so patient sia. haha. I call him Mr. Smile! haha. He has a permanent smile in his face. Well we managed to persuade Tim's and Jon's parents to let them come over to our hotel to fellowship and play, which was great cos Tim was flying off to HK the next morn to be with his grandma haha.

we played lots of Mafia! haha. It was really fun cos it was full of manipulation lol. Eunice came up with the "Penang boys theory" which basically is that one of them had to be Mafias cos the gamemaster would want to involve them in the game. haha. I think she was right! Both were Mafias lol. After lots of shouting and denials and crazy voting, we changed game to Charades, or sort of. My grp came up with Thoughtful Pink Panther and Emelyn had such a hard time acting it out lol. Our's was even harder, Phenomenal lol. So jere acted it out by syllable. We couldn't think of anything like 'Pheeenoon' besides Phenotype blah blah till Jonathan said the right word. lol. But after that they penang guys had to go off, so with many tearful goodbyes, we parted. lol. But it was quite sad cos we wouldn't see Tim for almost a year til next retreat, and who knows what might happen between now and then? Wow next retreat! That'll be AFTER A LEVELs. whoo. I trust that God will keep us for this coming year! Anyway we booked Jonathan for the following afternoon haha. After his JUDOPIANOTUITION in the morning. hahaz. Went for late night Ba Kut Teh and got cheated by the aunty lol. Stupid us. Anyway, that's all for Sunday! Quick photo of us in the room:

18th Dec(Mon)- We woke up at 9+ and went for breakfast. The guys played cards till abt 2a.m lol. Breakfast was not very good..after that we set off for some shopping, at Komptah, if I remember the spelling correctly. We walked all the way there lol. After getting cheated by the aunty we decided to be more prudent (as Jema said,"We have matured from child to youth") so we walked and walked in the sun..abt 30mins i think. Haha. True to our resolution, we visited many money changer's to find the best rate; we even called back to singapore to find out from Tabi! Haha. Jema and I went to develop photos cos we found some cheap shop to do so at. Made multiple copies for the others too. Our shopping was pathetic...spent most of the time wandering around haha. Ate lunch at KFC, Family Feast! haha. Finally managed to contact the ever-elusive Jonathan, admist debating amongst ourselves whether he "truly loves us" haha. Jema and I went to collect our photos while the rest waited for him at KFC.

No time to continue in this fashion! I'll do it random-style like how jema blogs. Haha. Next time!

Journey to the Wilderness!

2006-12-09T18:43:00.000+08:00

Hey I'm back frm KS camp.

Only one word to describe it: AWESOME

Whew I really really enjoyed it and I think most of the teens did too. The place is great; many facilities, great sleeping quarters etc, nice owner, and HOT WATER for baths! hehe, havent had that for a long time. lol. And a great price to boot. Yeah!

Now I shall embark on a day-by-day description of what happened. Haha.

Before Camp prep---

3rd Dec(Sun)- Had choir prac for Open Sunday or Church Anniversary. Frantic loading of BW's car to bring stuff for camp haha.

4th Dec(Mon)- Celest and I went down to the campsite to see if the treasure hunt planned still had clues that were present! Was quite horrified by the construction going on, but otherwise it was great. Uncle Chris was wonderful; he showed us around though he was so busy. Haha. The girl's dorm was wonderful, like a hotel. 21 beds! more than enough. haha. boys' was great too, 8 beds below and a huge space on top through a cool secret stairway behind a cupboard. Fully air-conditioned. =) Anyway, less I get carried away, 2 clues were missing and I had to plan new ones at the last minute. Haha. Next we went to Lot 1 at CCK to buy stuff for games! Really glad for Celest's company.. or not it would have been boring! Thanks! =) I remember being in a state of tremendous excitement when I got home. Haha.

5th Dec(Tues)- First day of camp! Reached there at 9 exactly. Main gate was closed so we went in by the side gate. Was very surprised at the number of people already there; the meeting time was 10am! haha. The whole Quek contingent plus Penang guys Tim and Jonathan Tan. And some younger ones. Many in fact. =) Oh man if I go at this pace I'll take a year! But there's so much to tell! Anyway, Celest and I did the design for our sticker game but we didnt use it in the end! lol. Eunice our camp mistress came late at 930 in her favourite vehicle -> The TAXI! =) haha. and she had tons of stuff and we brought them over the gate. Anyway, the rest came by bus. We started a bit late at 1020...had a briefing..checked in...and had lunch. Sleeping in sleeping bags on the floor might seem lousy but we had an excess and SO much space! Which is all I care abt. The older guys slept upstairs =)

I was too busy planting clues to eat lunch and play ice breakers. It's SO hard! haha. I was running around franctically trying to paste clues on the elephant statue etc. The campers' presence around also hindered me greatly haha. Finally I realized that I couldn't do it alone and asked Celest for help. Wanted her to play actually cos she was already helping in the station games planned later. Oh wells. But she had fun =) Thanks again! Hehe. Between us we managed to plant all the clues, including one at the BUS STOP which was SO FAR AWAY! haha. eunice led them into the girls' bungalow for singing to allow us to paste clues at the pool table. LOL. 12 in total. =) Anyway the treasure hunt called "Seek and ye shall Find" started. Campers were in their 4 tribes- Manesseh, Reuben, Epharim and Dan. Can't spell! lol. They started at different spots. Epharim was wonderfully pro cos they had Kevin and Tabi who were good at guessing and their grp was so observant! Jema's funny Manesseh searched all the sinks to find the clue to "I wash your hands but not your feet" but didnt find it. haha. blur lahh. Poor Dan (my grp) started with the worst clue, the bus stop one and Timo ran all the way out to get it. By half an hour the campers were either very frustrated and tired or very excited and tired, depending on their tribe. Haha. Some were pissed at the distance of the bus stop or the impossibility of the clues. The hardest one apparently was the one at the fence; "Without me, you would fall. With me, you may still fall, if you climb over me" All the grps except Epharim had so much trouble finding that they had to use their campers' right card or the Appeal to camp mistress card. haah. Shows how pro they were, or maybe they were just observant cos when I 1st pasted the clue Nat shouted "what's matthias doing there!" and I was horrified lol. Waa I'm so lor soh!

Station games nextt. First was One-handed fruit Capt's ball and Human Pinball, held concurrently at diff spots. Poor Dan got thrashed at Human Pinball, which is played like poison ball, only that there is a scoring system. Celest helped at Capt's ball and they had fun squashing fruits! lol. Josiah squished a cherry tomato by catching it. The best were bananas lol. Next games were the water game and passing rubber bands using spaghetti, like my J1 orientation game. =) the water game was very wild cos they had to jump around blindfolded lol. jere stepped on the cups and cracked them! haha jere is So funny. By the end of the games, Manesseh won overall, followed by Ephariam, Reuben, and Dan. Everyone was tired out. =) Even Benjamin and Nat! haha. Hope they enjoyed themselves as much as I did. =) Planning and carrying out games is just awesome! =)=)=)

Well..dinner by Aunty Leh Har. =) Followed by an opening msg by Deacon Liow. It was about the parting of the red sea, how the Israelites complained to Moses etc. Some application: oftentimes we are like the Israelites, complaining about everything, yet we fail to see how He has provided for us in so many instances! It takes the overwhelming mercy and grace of God to quench our fiery tongues. Since Julia wasn't there for the 1st day (she was helping out at Midnight Manhattan, RJ's Prom), I led the grp. Was pleased at the responsiveness of the grp. Glad that they spoke freely. Go DAN! =) More singing... camp comm meeting, and lights out at 12am! =) What a splendid day it was for me! Very relaxed at the end too, cos all my activities plaaned were over =) Us stupid guys sleeping upstairs froze at night cos the aircon was blasting away. Couldnt slp properly lol. Stupid thing was that no one thot of turning it down! haha. NExt day! PHEW!

6th Dec(Wed)- Woke up at 730am and went for EXERCISE planning by Joseph. haha. after stretching the campers played H2O. some catching game. Could'nt play cos of my ankle =). But it was fun watching. Breakfast next, followed by singing and another Msg by Elder Chong; "Jehovah is my banner," abt the battle between the Israelites and the Amalakites (haha bet i spelled that wrong!) It was a bit long so we didnt have much time for discussion and sharing. Application: God calls us not only to stand firm, but to fight against sin and temptation! Only through prayer and watchfulness can we withstand the attacks of the devil. Julia led Dan's discussion. I'll say she did a good job =) Not half as boring as I am. Hehe.

Lunch next, then Prayer meeting. we broke up into grps and shared. I led my grp cos we weren't in our fixed grps. Timo, Tim Tan, Ben Yeo, Emelyn, Barny.. oh no I forgett! Oops. Well, I think it was pretty meaningful, my items were for safety in camp, good fellowship, and discipline for nxt year. =) Aft prayer meeting were Hannah's and Ben Quek's games! Played some water game where we had to catch water filled balloons and bring them to our catcher to score points. Haha, Reuben and Dan had an agreement to team up against Manesseh, cos they had filled up their balloons b4 everyone else. It worked! =) Timo and I took advantage of our height and caught many other grp's balloons lol. Next game was one where we had to roll fruits up a hill. Ephariam let their watermellon roll down too soon and it smashed in the drain! haha. I couldnt climb the hill so I was the receiver at the top =). Obviously chaos ensured once it stared. haha. Fun! Imagine pple scuttling up the hill pushing an orange with 2 fingers. haha. No pics yet!

Haha, forgot BW car's game. Groups had to fit into his boot! HAHA. We could see his tyres dipping down as they climbed in. IMagine 8 pple squashed inside. but we managed! =)=) Oh mann, no time I'll skipp to the next day! =( All in all, hannah and ben did a GREAT job =) thankss!

7th Dec(thurs)- We all realized that camp would be ending soon and so the camp was all activity! =) People were playing table tennis, pool, badminton.. etc. haha. but we had a lack of free time though. many activities! =) I revived my love for table tennis, played some badminton with celest..no pool though! i dun like pool =). Our 4th and final msg was by Elder Chong again..about how we should always turn our eyes upon God and not toward ourselves cos we are sinful and weak. Sry no time for elaboration!

Played lots of volleyball, even had a competitiion between the campers. Since the net was just a little higher than a badminton one, imagine how much fun I had! *evil grin* But I'm not good in Volleyball though I love it haha. but it was great competitive fun! My side won though. Darren(Jema's friend) was good and so was Jo. I love spiking sia. =) oops this took place late in the day. back to the Main activity.

This was planned by Eunice and Diana. Groups had to travel to CCK to buy and make stuff relating to something we learnt from the messages. Dan decided to do the battle of the Israelites and Amalakites. haha. we had fun buying stuff from NTUC and what struck us was the different smells and sounds in the mall, compared to those at camp! Like Eunice put it, it should be a representation of our Christian life, how worldly things should be strange and foreign to us and we should to strive to surround ourselves with Christian friends and fellowship! Anyway, Dan had Timo, who just got out of the army, plus our fertile and gory imaginations, so our battle turned out to be a bloody one! hhaha. we used jam for blood, bread for the base, different sized marshmallows for bodies, plus facial expressions using nutella. LOL. We even had a blond Moses sitting on a piece of bread, with Aaron and Hur holding up his hands. =) Funny thing is, Manesseh also had the same idea, just that they were so much funnier. Their Moses was made up of a cucumber with eyebrows and beard made using cotton wool. SO FUNNY! and cute! lol. he had a surprised look lol. Reuben won with their funny presentation abt MOses bringing water from the ROCK-melon. HAha. Jere did the narrating, and he was hilarious! =) Ephariam did the wall of Jericho. it was splendid. =) and yummy. lol.

Ohh forgot about "jabberwocky." It was supposed to be Balderdash, hosted by me. But Eunice and I decided to give them free time instead cos they had so little of it. Abt half played capt's ball while the rest played Guesstures! haha. Of cos I played capt's ball =) My favourite sport! YEEEHA! I seriously hurt my ankle with all the jumping about, plus volleyball and running around, but it was ermmm worth it? =\ haha. I really missed good old capt's ball played by KS pple and it was great! The non-camp-tshirt-wearers won. I was one of them! =) na, it was pretty uneven in terms of team balance. as usual we had our funny moments like Jere lumbering around like a cute bear or slip ups haha. capt's ball later on during free time was crazy cos everyone played! some of us older ones noticed the younger ones were bewildered and so we made a "you-must-pass-to-the-younger-ones" rule. lol. Jere immediately went around squeaking "I'm a little one!" haha. it was willd mann. haha.

after a fantastic dinner by the Lim family =) we had campfire games. MAN NO TIME!! haha. All I can say that it was great, we had wonderful fellowship and singing. Ben Yeo felt sick and so I tended to him for a while. Poor Joanne fell quite badly while playing the crazy train-like game. Did some running and strained my poor ankle. =( haha oh well its my fault! anyway campfire ended at 1220am. After some tabletennis jema and I went to the girls' dorm where pple were singing, talking etc. we found poor Eunice scrubbing burnt pots in the kitchen, so I went to help her. I TELL YOU! I HATE BURNT POTS! LOL! We used sand and scrubbed like mad. after abt 20 mins of hard work we were done. had fun doing that though. lol. horribly, the curfew time of 2am was only 30 mins away so I asked Eunice for a no-curfew limit, since that was the norm for KS camps and we had no msg the next day. We discussed with hannah and decided on a 330 am limit. happily, hannah went to announce it to the ksers while eunice and I sang songs with josiah and shar playing guitar. =) BW heard though and told us it was too much cos parents would complain like they did last camp. oops. He said 2am was pushing it and didnt want our 330 am time. To be truthful, I was pretty upset when 230am was the limit. No time to sing or play table tennis! i spoke to jema abt it and she told me it was cos we had younger ones in camp...and as a senior we obviously viewed it as too restrictive. True.. =) Guess I was being rash. haha.

after mooning around I started playing table tennis doubles with sharleen against marcus and josiah. FUNNY! lol. josiah kept hitting out but shar was new to the game so it was pretty even. after some smashing and tyco shots, we managed to win lol. next was jonathan and jere. haha. jere's so funny. he kept missing and making funny comments abt that. shar hit the net many times but SMASHED jere now and then lol. jonathan's pro. so jere and him won eventually, 30-23 lol. I love table tennis! =) BW was gracious enough to let us exceed time till abt 3am... then I finally wentto bathe. lol. the guys played risk till 545am cos BW allowed them. SIAO! lol. I slept at 4 cos i wanted to wake up and send the Penang guys back at 7. Josiah snored in a very amusing way, with some wheezing and high-pitched squeaks. Like a performance! =) haah.

8th Dec(Fri)- Woke up at 7 to send the penang guys off. Jema, timo and ben were awake too. =) quite sad to see them off cos we only see them once a year! lol. they were great to have at camp...really sporting and enthusiastic =) jema and a few others are planning to go to penang soon, maybe i can go too! =) haha. went back to slp at 8 till 9.

Last day of camp.. hiaz. we all packed up, had breakfast, cleaned up and left. :'( no mood to say more. thanks Eunice for being the camp mistress! =) haha. all the stress over lol. wish it was longer. ahhh..! nostalgia! stopstopstopstop. haha.

On the whole, I think this camp has been the best I've experienced since P6 in my 1st Ks camp. not for self praise, but cos the mix of people was wonderful, the sleeping quarters great, facilities great.. phew. we'll be back next year! =) the msgs were solid too. Yesterday I slept frm 5pm to 9pm, had dinner and tried to slp at 10pm again. Could'nt slp for a long time cos I was thinking of the camp. =( AWESOME! i dun mind being in the comm nxt year too. =) great experience! thank God for it all! =)=)=)

WAA. This is by far the LONGEST post ever. haha. doubt anyone read the whole thing! =) if YOU did, say so and I'll reward you greatly with ermmm something mysterious! =0 haha. anyway that's all I have to say. Cya all! =)

J1 Outing

2006-11-30T21:30:00.000+08:00

Wow yesterday was a blast. finally went out with the church j1s.. our 1st official outing together this year! tues' outing wasn't really counted.. the guys played badminton at Ngee Ann, then pool and went to my house. played Cluedo, but generally a bit boring. haha took out a part of the sentence!

Yeaterday though was a different story! =)=) 8 of us - aaron, josiah, julia, celest, justin, phebe, shar and i went to Mind Cafe opp Paradiz. We were happy during happy hour lol. phebe came later though haa. the games there are awesome! played some number game, saboteur, taboo, some game like snap, and apples game. fun! we had a great time talking and laughing. and we DRANK. free flow of drinks. whoo. i had 3 huge glasses of peach tea, the rest had abt the same number. Imagine the queues to the toilet. haha. healthy though! =) LOL.

it was just $5.50 per person for 2-6pm. aft that we went to dunoo where, top floor of cinelesiure and booked a room to watch V for Vendetta. lol i'm so noob in the city! didn't know where i was going sia. aaron and shar had to go off though. V was quite inspiring. it ranks quite near the top of the few movies i've watched. Click trumps the rest though. =)

what a waste we didnt bring a cam. haha. anyway after an adventure with pb and jo trying to take 174 home, i finally reached home at abt 11. whoo!

the great part of the outing was that we really needed one.. since we all went into jc we've been bz with our own school life, only meeting up on sun or at KS meetings. no time to talk! yahyahyah. so many of us felt that we were drifting apart, and we prided ourselves of being the biggest and more closely united batch! thanks josiah for making the effort to plan. =) yay! i've got enough of planning for a while yet. haha. almost didnt want to go cos of my ankle, but celest called and she also didnt feel like going. but i realized my ankle was better and so we went! hehe.

more outings plz!

yesyes. tmr we have another outing. to the same placehaha. thinking of eating a steamboat buffet for dinner too. but no $$$! haha. broke. utterly broke. ha! lol.

KS camp is coming in abt 4 days. whew. all the planning. but somehow i dun feel like i did much haha. eunice,our dear camp mistreess is so hardworking and efficient. =) hope the activities turn out well and the teens benefit more from the messages! i think i'm not being biased when i say that this camp seems to be the most eagerly awaited one, from the response of some of the teens. haah go check the camp blog. hope they will be more enthu abt ks aft the camp! and welcome all p6ers. =) you're a youth now! hehe.

Right! tomorrow is a good day. i feel it in my boneess. =) cya!

2006-11-28T16:21:00.000+08:00

Thankful Item: I can walk a bit now. =) Yay! But I think the ankle joint is weak. It almost popped out once. scary!

CIP on Mon was a FLOP. Obviously I couldn't go for it but I thought it should run pretty smoothly cos the others could make it. Then there was O dry run. Next, some people didnt do what they were supposed to do and hence didn't want to go. Finally, only 2 faithful people went, QQ and Aud. Tsktsk. I'm really ashamed for us all. Imagine what Dr. Tan and the IMH co-ordinators must have thought. I must confess I really never thought that would happen. Quite discouraged. I suppose the concert is now off since we don't even have the commitment to do this project. Oh well.

Hey some church friends just came. Gotta go off now. =)

Injured

2006-11-27T11:39:00.000+08:00

AH hahah!

lol I'm currently a cripple. sprained my ankle on sat while playing soccer in sch with chorale pple. lol. how did that happen? chin ee was taking a shot on goal and i just managed to block it with me foot. thing is, it was really hard and me foot happened to be at a very horrible angle... so BANG! haha. and i could hear the bones cracking. really! lol. Dun worry Chin Ee, it was my own fault haha.

apparently I thought "die lah how to run anymore" but it didnt seem to hurt too much so I thot maybe not. butbutbut the smart laila told me it would swell and YES it did. got worse as i waited for my parents to fetch me from school lol. had to interrupt my dad's tennis game with my bro hehe. 2 days later and I still can't walk, only can hop around with an umbrella!! ROFL.

Stupid Thing: In my 4-5 years of running I have never injured myself any longer than a day or so, besides muscle ache and fatigue lah. ANNNDD once I quit this has to happen! haha. its quite amusing actually. But my only fear is that it might not recover properly or that the bone will be weak and sprain easily. argh. Mobility very important, esp runningg!! haha.

Bad Thing: KS camp is just next week.. and there are so many things to plan. this sprain certaintly hampers it. couldn't go to church yesterday too, and there were many things to doo! pray that i recover fast enough to go next week! at least be able to walk. can't go for class CIP today too.. zz. just cooped up at home lol.

haah my mum is going to use da com now. so no more blogginggg! haha. cya folks!

Whee!

2006-11-13T11:40:00.000+08:00

Haha. I'm blogging though i dont feel like doing so =P

lets blog abt my class! haha. after OP we took crazy photos and went for lunch at pastamania! haha. my class is funny, we are so bonded but all we do is talk and eat together lol! at least we went for a class outing last mon haha. abt 12 pple went for it. and we had no volleyball or frisbee! LOL. cos naughty laila didnt ask her mum in time and couldnt go, so no frisbee. and no one in the class has a volleyball! haha. but we had fun lah. it was raining, but hyqel and darren bought a frisbee and we played monkey lol. then it was cards, lunch, more frisbee, and han xin's fortune telling! haha. so funny lah.

apparently darren's fortune is:
10s, get a wife.
20s-40s, trouble (prob cos of the wife! =P).
50s, LARGE amount of fortune (wife died, inheritance! and no more trouble!)
60s, married again!
70s, small amount of fortune
80s, has a close MALE friend, a.k.a gay friend. Lol.
90s-100s, trouble, han xin said: dead liao

Holiday Plans

2006-11-01T22:18:00.000+08:00

So many plans for the holidays. I'd better carry them out. Someone whack me if I start procrastinating!

In NO order of importance:

1) Plan a smashing KS camp (both fun and spiritually nourishing) that "is worth the money" as jere puts it. :)
2) Organise a concert for IMH.. class CIP.
3) Study
4) Buck up on my spiritual life
5) Take COF
6) Write a script!
7) Start a running plan and KEEP TO IT
8) Spend time with family
9) Catch up with church frens and sch frens
10) Dont waste time!
11) still counting!

I think the hardest one really is no 10. lol. if 10 is settled, many others will fall into place! I'm quite screwed up I think. Where's the motivation to do well? argh. let's see.. results are just average, not interested in any H3, not motivated to study hard at all. that just about sums up my academic life! not to mention spiritual. pan deng is doing SATS this sat so he can go to an American university..he knows what he wants man. jia you! i really dunno if i'm just being pure lazy in not taking any H3, or its really cos i'm not interested in it. prob a mixture of both. how to study medicine? hmm.

Last week or last last week I was talking to Zhiying on the bus journey back home.. got to find out more abt her struggles with coping in Singapore..sigh. It's really hard for pple who come back from other countries to study in singapore to cope, esp since exams are so stressful here. Well, pray that she will get her feet on the ground! I can help anytime too :)

Another thing we were talking abt was how people can behave differently in front of different people. sort of like putting up a front, projecting an image of yourself. that realyy got me thinking. i think it also applies to myself..applies a lot! like previously when i was still in cross, i was very quiet and reserved to most of them but crappy to those whom i was closer to. cross has this stiffling aura that makes talking weird. i duno. maybe its just the clique problem again. i think for me, the closer i get to people, the crappier i get. is that true? maybe its just that i feel comfortable with the person.. which is not a bad thing. at least its not a conscious effort, like behaving "maturedly" in front of adults. its quite unconscious. wonder whether anyone else besides myself and ZY feel that way. YOu! celest! how? never mind i'll write it in the letter :)

Oh well so much for rambling. Prayed for grandmother's and Ah ma's salvation today.. if they come to know Christ, it'll really be a miracle! So many people to pray for...enough abt myself. No pics abt the chorale outing.. so i'll blog abt it another time :) it was GREAT though. i love sentosa :)

Aww right! I gtg. time to insert a RANDOM pic! arghh blogger's down! oh well bye!

2006-10-28T13:17:00.000+08:00

WOW havent blogged ever since i realised that tagboard was down. lol. but now i've got cbox! :)

well i've gotten back promo results! :) they are: A for GP and Math, B for Chem, C for Lit, D for Bio! not too bad eh. though i was expecting A for chem! then again i was expecting S for Bio but i got D hehe. thank God :) yay!

chem spa next week and PW OP coming up! i refuse to acknowledge its the hols yet cos of those things grr. hehe. classs outing PLS! when where? lol. too lazy to organise esp since my stupid phone has no reception most of the time!! as laila says, "THROW IT AWAY!" LOL. haha i hope to get another phone soon.

time to post some random class pics! whoo!

abbbbby and treeeeeees! lol

kristel, qingqing, emmy , audrey in LT1 after H3 chem lecture :)

check out this really funny video of zhiying, trees and abby! haha.

my funky class! hahaah.

chorale outing on mon to sentosa yay! :) looking forward to some fun and exercise lol. im growing fatter by the day haha.

last sat KS went 'kite flying' at marina bay lol. there were only 2 kites and they kept tangling in the trees! no wind somemore. lol. but it was really funny and cool haha. after an exhortation by justin, we played some silly games by eunice which were pretty cool lol. as usual jere was hilarious haha. some of the KSers tried to fly the kites near the pond thingy but there was no wind and they just kept runninggn! haha. and tabi's video is side splittingly funny ill try to post it lol. some pics!

christine RUNNING!

funny jere, shar and justin.. kite is entangled i think! haha

hhaah! kite in the trees! we all had to pull it down lol.

tabi's video taking too long! ill try to upload it later. ok ive got the video!

we went poking around the rock pools or rather puddles, catching some gobies and crabs haha. it was along the waterfront of the singapore river i think. haha. funn! we let them go though. some of the KSers had an ADVENTURE with some crabs and an eel haah. HiLaRiOuS! well that was it!

ks camp is starting to take shape hehe. its 5-8 dec! whoo. planning it is really tiring but funn. no time to post pics of it... do check out www.datkscamp2006.blogspot.com or just click my link hehe. wellwell since im not in O team there's really much more free timee to plan hhaha. stupid councilors wont get any help frm me, they suck but MT rocks! that's the sole reason why i'm quite irritated cos orientation is very much a house thing! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. sometimes i feel like approaching those fools who interviewed me and ask them WHYY! WHY NOT! WHY SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE DAMN UNENTHU CAN JOIN O-TEAM BUT NOT ME? lol. an impassioned outburst. YEAH! zzz oh well. think i was just too boring in the interview LOL.

gtg! haha. oh man look at my moodswingss! lol. church tmr. :) bye!

Life After Promoss!

2006-10-04T22:27:00.000+08:00

to talk abt past stuff.. didnt get into O-team. quite dissappointing. grr. i thot the interview went pretty well though i was a bit boring LOL. apparently my credentials are not gd enough. cant help but bear a grudge against those pple who interviewed me. STUPID COUNCILORS! GRR. i think it aaffected me more than i care to admit. i dun seem to have any credentials.. gr. NUS H3 bio rejected too.. but that's my fault LOL. nvm i think it was God's will.. then i can help plan the KS camp w/o any other stuff on. :)

well.. today's her death anniversary. how many yearss?! hmm.. 10 i think. sigh. going to the grave this sat :) but reb wont be there! :( we can visit pastor cheah's grave, aunty kwai peng, uncle james.. so many pple.. sigh. so many deaths. oops.. i gtg.. zzz.. sch again tmr. but singing is funn! :)

Teacher's day!

2006-08-31T22:26:00.000+08:00

Thursday 31st Aug

Happy Teachers' Day! :)

Haha. Today's teachers' day celeb was so good! =D It was worth getting stuck in that MASSIVE jam along bukit timah rd on my way to sch. lol. Of cos the highlight of the day was the funky MR THAM dancing salsa and hip hop. lol. he literally rocks! LOL. sophie and juee were just screaming "he's SOO cute!!" and the hall was in an uproar. cant believe qq and aud missed it! lol abby and trees too.. poners! =D you have to be there to see it to really understand how funky it was lol. MR THAM is our very funny chem teacher who had the same lit teacher as me in RI (yearrs ago). he's also the new chorle teacher in charge! =D anyway he's quite big and him dancing is very amusing. just like me dancing lol. but for different reasons. he is pro man! =D
here's a very blur pic of him. lol. i want more picss!

CRAP. cant upload it. stupid blogger! zz

the rest of the performance was quite good. magic show by this pro j1 guy... teachers acting.. SUPER lame jokes by zhenghong lol...teachers band. the band was cool. miss chai isit? she plays the viola SO WEll. i wanted to ask the singer to shutshut so it would just be her playing. the sound was rich and had this pulling effect that really makes one feel it. at least from what i could hear. she rocks! :P

went back to RI today.. put cards into mrs. albar's, miss low's ppigeon holes.. haha. gave to kenneth low too. forgot abt mrs chan! arghh. lol. i feel bad. qq and kristal came with me.. they wanted a tour of RI lol. frm qq's blog i think it impacted her somewhat.. :) surprisingly though i dun feel much attachment to RI, this time i really had a dose of nostalgia.. its the first time i've been there besides taking my testimonial at the start of the year.

at their request we went to my old classroom where my sec 2 and 4 days were spent in .. all the memories just GUSHED back.. like a dam breaking... so sudden and all-encompassing. esp my sec 2 memories, when i just had fun the whole time... crapping with yi liang and throwing paper balls like siao.. playing stupid online games in the com lab after sch... talkin rubbish during chinese lessons.. and getting scolded lol . sighh. sec 2. 3 years ago and yet it seems like eons. if i had gone for training instead of slacking for 3/4 of the yr.. i wonder how different life would be like now. this reminds me of CLICK! super movie. the best one among the few ive watched. how the the guy used the universal remote to go back and witness those memories and it was totally heartrending to see the way he wanted to change them but couldnt. how applicable.

anyway, i must not fill my life with regrets and what ifs. move on! lol.

anyway.. i finally got to meet mrs albar, my eng lit teacher who made the most impact on me... but she was SURROUNDED by her ex form class and some of my ex classmates. she just said hi matthias lol. she winz the most popular teacher award man. lol. funkeh woman! =D no wonder mr ng and mr tham are so funky cos they've been taught by her! =D

anyway.. gtg.. haha. no pics! grr so irritating. nite@

Partee and More

2006-08-27T23:15:00.000+08:00

Hey!

i cant believe this. this is a RECORD. matt is blogging in the span of 72 hrs! waitt.. maybe a bit more. lol.

this was a really interesting weekend. haha. first my family had a birthday celebration for my wai gong at a great LIVE seafood restaurant at upp thomson. imagine those yummy fishes and prawns were those we saw swimming around the tanks just minutes ago. lol. poor thinggs. my uncle, celest's dad gave a very ermm, passionate talk abt some new health product and his philosophy of life :) abt digging a second well, not to be buried in (lol!) but as a possible second source of income. well we had a good time, but my poor grandparents were a bit left out. wish my popo had normal hearing.. she really nice to talk to but its hard for her to communicate. she's so cute though! =D and i really admire her godliness.. she prayed a sincere prayer b4 lunch.. and she copies parts of chinese christian lit on papers to remember them. i'm happy for her!

after lunch i had to meet nat and hyqel at j8 to shop for zhi ying's present! :P it was quite silly cos we were supposed to go to han xin's house to do the dratted PW.. and the restaurant was so near her house! anyway we had fun shopping, and we bought ZY a banana that could be peeled and a cute giraffe. lol. nono its not edible. lol. cos she's a banana--- westernised chinese. just like me. yellow on the outside and white on the inside. gross. i prefer to be brown on the outside. though i neeed a tan cos i dun train anymore.. :(

PW in han xin's house was cool. we had a crazy time after PW when we were rushing to get ZY's banana wrapped and write a card. of cos the card was a banana. duhhh. it was so cool! haha. han xin and hyqel were giggling away cos the banana looked like a gigantic FAT sweet. she was impersonating Martha Stewards and faking some silly accent lol. hilarious! and trees was just calmly writing a card lol. pooor gerald was waiting at mac ritchie busstop for us till he fell asleep lying on the bus stop bench. lol. "cos i was reading my bio notes." gerald was so funny. han xin's dad drove us and she dashed out of the car and grabbed gerald's bag and him and dragged the dazed pok to the car. hence, he left his VIRUSES on the bench. ttsktsk so irresponsible.. spreading viruses around. lol.

ZY's partee was great. it was a bit stone at first. then we started playing truth or dare. what else man? its the NUMBER ONE game for parties. lol. pple had to do embarrassing stuff like gerald singing a song he sang to his gf lol, darren kissing gerald =D... adam's first crush, hyqel's sms girlfriend whom he never met.. lol. haha! wen loong's impersonation of dunno who, but it was soo fuunny! just as i praised abby's blackmail cam for videoing all their embarrassing moments the stupid 1.5l F&N grape bottle supposedly pointed at me. i bet sophie did it. lol. lol i had to dance some stupid body jam moves. duno how to lah. i suck at dancing lol. i didnt know how to escape! haha. i shld have sung a song instead. lol. and obviously abby wicked cam took it all down. =D well.. gerald taught trees how to header a ball but that poor silly trees ended heading a basketball! ouch!! haha. of cos she killed him. argh there's a lot more to tell but there's no time.. lol. thanks ZY! hope you had a great time. =D open your house more often ks? hehe.

hmm today in church i got angry over some church cleaning thingy. cos our senior youth grp (KSS) was assigned to clean up today.. and a grp of us washed and kept all the dishes then went up to sing =) then jema asked us to help somemore cos there supposedly were a lot more stuff to do. so in a middle of a song we all went down. i was quite irritated cos i really hate being interrupted when i'm singing a nice song, or reading a book. but it was still ok. until joshua yacked abt him doing a lot of work etcetc, implying that we didnt do any. (hello, we did all the dishes while you others were pigging out and slacking around the tables) his self righteous tone and condesceing words totally pissed me off. "oh! the kettles will wash themselves!" tiao. so i just grumbled angrily and grabbed one waster dispenser to wash at the other sink. jema was following me and saying something like "sorry i didnt know you guys had done it already" and wanted to do it. of cos i didnt let her, and i snapped at joshua and the others in general. she thought i was pissed with her. then she went up to cry.. =( oopsie. i felt really stupid for bothering abt joshua's comments and snapping coldly at those pple in general.. sigh. guess she was shocked cos i dun usually get pissed or at least show that im pissed. but well, we've made up already. =) i haveta be more sensitive to other's feelings man.

jere! i really hope you read this cos i was quite impressed by your article in the Dat KS Magazine! i liked it cos you were putting across some gd points but it wasnt preachy cos it was really funny and engaging. lol. to cut it short, he was writing about us being christian bloggers and not solely blog about secular stuff. for example sharing what we learnt from devotions or sermons. yupyup. i'll remember that!

just a quick elab on my previous post.. i think i do make friends easily but most are just FRIENDS. you know what i mean? nothing deeper than that. i dun mean in a relationship sense, but as in being closer friends. talking abt relationships.. my chruch youth grp had a workshop on dating today... it was quite good.. how that dating someone shld always have marriage in mind. yep, so its quite serious. for me, i believe that anyone i err ever date must be a christian and shld have some similar interests. and i feel that having a relationship in jc is no-no. i think crushes like those in pri and sec sch are usually silly and pointless. even in jc. i'm skeptical about many people having girl/boyfriends. well that's what i feel.. i'm not any authority on this subject lol. basically i'm just trusting in God to provide. yupyup. im content to wait =D. no pressure!

wish i could blog more.. but its really late.. 1230 liao.. better slp. hiaz once i blog i alway take so long. lol. kk.. cya!

A LONG POST

2006-08-24T23:01:00.000+08:00

Woah, havent blogged for ages.. lol. so hey! i shall blog now! i'll just talk abt random topics.. really too much to say...

today i watched Click at j8 with celest.. it was really meaningful. something about how this guy gets a universal remote that he uses to control his life, to skip unpleasant scenarios etc, like arguments with his wife about spending too much time working. so he keeps fast fowarding his life to avoid such circumstances.. and though he became CEO of his company, he lost his wife, his family, missed even the death of his father. it seems plain, but the directing and superb acting of Adam Sandeller (duno how to spell) made it really touching, yet not preachy cos it both funny and full of meaning. yup, i think this movie has really touched me.. good recomendation by celest! i really have to learn to treasure my family.. esp since we dont have much communication.. i just dun bother to talk to my parents. =( yup, that's something i took home from the movie..

glad that i got to talk to you celest! i still owe you a letter :X i really miss those days when we were in sec 1 or 2 or 3? lol when it was one letter per week =D or more if we had tuition with xu lao shi. lol. but i think you still are my best friend and cousin.. i really thank God that i have someone my age that i can relate to easily. =) really close friends are rare. i shld know that. though we arent as close as last time, i pray that it continues all the way!

lol now laila, trees and addy call me their godsista no. 1. haha, its quite funny. the 4 of us were studying in a nice classroom last tues n they came up with the godsista thingy. lol. its fun to study with you guys! =D it makes the agony more bearable! we haveta do well for promos sia.hope all my Us undergo translation to become As! =D this past tues we studied till 8 again... and ordered kfc. we ate outside the window (shocked?) , floating in the wind. lol. no lah, rj's designed weirdly with places where air con vents are that are platforms where pple can walk on. =D so we ate under the stars. cool eh? it was very nice. hehe. let's do that more often sia! that's a pic!

SO3N really rocks. i think we're really unique cos we are a science class taking lit :). and everyone's quite friendly.. :) we have cliques but the good thing is.. our cliques allow us to be closer to some people but most of us mix around pretty well :) we rock! just haveta do better in studies lol. hmm we have 9 guys and 17 girls.. lol. there are only 4 express guys, including me.. :( i'm just not close to any guy in class, or in rj either. joash, subash and ZQ are very nice, but we are just friends.. not close friends. i've always wanted a best friend who is a guy.. but i've not got any since primary sch. pple talk abt being kindred spirits etc, but it just doesnt apply for me... :( recently my church youth grp did this workshop abt friendships... we had to spend $25 in 'buying' the qualities of good friend. i 'spent' my money on traits like godliness, compassion, humourous, common interests, can relate to, athletic ability. most of the guys i know are nonchristians..or just talk abt games..work.. duno what else. i've had some friends in cross..but we dun seem to enjoy any other stuff in common besides running.. i really love singing, writing, SPORTS! drama stuff..duno what else.. practically everything except studying. :X lol. sigh. oh well, i think i wont get one anytime soon. maybe im just too picky. lol. i duno. that's why i hang out with my godsistas! lol. and others like qq, aud, zhi ying..yep. we arent really close but its ok.. we've only know each other for like 8 mths. i duno, but i honestly think i relate better to girls.. =X perhaps cos i grew up with celest and julia.. duno. reb (my sis) asked me if i'm becoming girlified cos i hang ard with my godsistas lol. laila would say yes, she thinks everything i do is girly lol. HAHA. quite funny lah.

i'm made up my mind to quit cross.. and stay in chorale... sigh. it was a VERY difficult decision. =( after 4 yrs of cross in RI and half in RJ.. i'm both addicted to it and slightly bored of it. since i wasted my supposed 'talent' (as some people say) by slacking in sec 2 and 3, i'm just average .. below i think. lol. but now i dun run at all! =( the queer thing was, my legs were aching so badly when i didnt run, and stopped when i didnt run for a long time... withdrawal symptoms eh? lol. i miss cross.. i must say that. sigh. but nvm. i'm happy in chorale! hehe. i shldnt have quit chorale at first.. now they have sorta formed cliques that are rather exclusive, or maybe im just not friendly enough? duno. but its fun though. :) but its really queer that even as i laugh at some silly songs they sing spontaneously, i keep questioning myself: "am i having fun? or is it all fake?" i duno why! but that's the thought that keeps running through my head. sighhh. will i never be satisfied with my cca? i think that;s why i dun have any close guy friends. yupyup. well its sort of my fault. quite a lot actually, cos i slacked off in sec 2 and 3. oh well, hope i'll be able to grow closer to chorale pple =D its a cca that COMPLETELY depends on friendships to make it enjoyable.. cos itll be very horrendous if not for them.

oh well its late. better go study for bio spa. grr. lol. here ends my blogging spree. lol. im addicted to the song friends are friends! its so nice. lol. kk gtg. cya!

Procrastinating!!!!

2006-06-06T22:08:00.000+08:00

hello..

havent blogged in such a long time! aiyoh. this time im really procrastinating! lol. but i'm really lousy man.. such a slack person. pooh.

ahh last thurs' kap outing with the 'sec4s' was great haha. though we didnt really do anything other than trying to study and bridge.. we had fun! haha. was nice being out with you guys. celest and i went to watch xmen3 after that... we had quite anadventure getting there on time haha. read her blog to find out haha. im not so lor soh like her to relate everything =D my parents dun really approve of all movies.. i dun really share their views to that extent bt i try not to watch movies.. xmen3 was my first this yr! but oh well im still being disobedient. new movie came out today. the OMEN. horrible show abt the birth of the antichrist. sigh, that's exactly what my parents are afraid of. evil in movies. really the work of satan. 06/06/06 sign of the devil. but then its nothing new! =X

hmm now both my parents are in china. its gd for us i guess.. we have to take care of ourselves! i really see how much they have been doing.. like washing clothes. as i type the clothes are spinning in the machine! lol. we really have a lotta freedom... too much i think. haha. poor daddy was so lonely in china.. argh i'd never want to go there to work.. God willing. and mum was lonely too. but she had us kids! =D lol. hope they have fun! and go SHOPPING!! lol.

class outing is going to be on 19th.. argh. whywhywhy!! of all days! haha.. going for church camp frm 19-22. im really looking forward to it.

oh.. im sry but the above was typed more than a week ago so its a little ermm outdated eh? :)

ok i'm all set to fail common test when school reopens... barely even studied! i only have myself to blame. argh i'm really deteriorating.. frm being hardworking in Pri school to becoming slacker in sec sch.. now its the most impt 2 years of my life and im even slacker. =( how? i feel that im wasting God's gifts to me by being lazy. argh. i need to 'pull up my ankle socks' LOL

ok.. enough about me.. lets move on to other subjects. oh a sad group of people frm my class went for a learning journey to IMH b4 sch closed.. sad cos 28 people were supposed to go but only abt 12 actually came...but i guess they really had urgent stuff to do. but anyway the rest of us had a good trip! it was fun and really enriching. well we learnt a lot abt IMH.. that really helped to dispel some myths for us.. esp for me haha. so we agreed to help raise funds for their run4fun event in july.. ive only managed to bully :) celest and jema to donate so far! and we talked about ogranising some mini concert or something of that sort to spice up the patients' lives... since we have so many musically talented people in class! haha.. i think more than 20 people in class can play the guitar.. and some like hyqel and charleen are PRO :) then we have joash who is our mozart haha. ohh we have drama pple too..ahh! odd-aud qingqing and i can play our treble (is it right?) extremely ahem beautiful remake of Canon in D or rather Canon in C with aud doing the bass (LOL i remember that) and qingqing and i clashing on the high notes lol. haha. i think the poor old folks would sit up straighter than they ever did in their lives. with absolute appreciation of course. what else? haha. aiyoh, i'm so lor soh.. see that's what i like to do.. ramble on and on lol. anyway we havent done anything yet! i REALLY hope we could do something as a class! rock on 3N :)

i feel really bad.. while waiting for 154 to take marc (my younger bro) and i to POP POP's :) house there was this blind man at the busstop holding a card with '852' writted on it, so that bus would stop for him to board. but a 77 stopped to drop passengers and the man thought that it had stopped for him.. so he boarded the bus. AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. i'm so pissed with myself.. i just stupidly looked on as he did so. argh. dunoo why i did that man. i really have to be more proactive in everything i do. yup that's a resolution!

a quick take on KS.. FYO- KS is a youth group in my church.. its called Kingdom Seekers. yup last sat we had a discussion about both churches' youth grps,CK and KS, and we concluded that attendance was and is really dropping. that's really sad. i really dont know why, but the trageted teens from sec 1-4 are mostly not coming for KS, with just a handful attending! i really thank God that those people actually come..its quite comforting at times to know that events planned would AT LEAST have those few attending. but the rest! if a youth group isnt attended by the youths but more so by the 'seniors', it wont be a youth grp anymore! :( hmm... i think i'll have to work harder.. :) like ETan said, we have to PESTER them, PESTER their parents, by calling, smsing, writing notes.. you name it! haha. OK! my group members have to watch out! im coming for you! =D

arghh. my sis is yelling frm the living room that she wants to use the com. lol. as usual. haha. so.. we will meet again! :) soon i hope. haha. man.. i cant wait for church camp! next mon.. and it'll jus be marc and i haha. freedom. whee! we'll have a great time together as a church.. hope it'll bring us closer together. looking forward to both physical and spiritual nourishment! :) oh she's coming! lol. behind me now.. whining lol. hahahaha. so cya!!

Life As It Is

2006-05-18T23:32:00.000+08:00

hey..

i'm blogging after a looong time. lol. and as usual i dun have much time. argh. well i shall be very very brief and to the point. haha.

hiaz. there seems to be so much death nowadays. abby's gandma died of stroke yesterday. but well, God has promised in the bible that all the saints will meet together in heaven after Jesus' second coming! so therein lies our hope. stay strong abby!

moving on. well.. i have entered into a we-tao-each-other phase with my cross country coach. he thinks my attitude sucks cos i asked him a few weeks ago whether i could do my own easy run instead of coming to school to do! but when i heard it was an interval traning i skipped my CLASS BBQ to go for it! :( and he said i was not serious abt training. double slap. arghhh. duno if i will still run for t&f nats this july...now that he thinks i'm a slacker. ohh well. but who cares abt him?? i still love cross trainings.. i think.

alright. i've made up my mind to rejoin chorale. msged the conductor mr toh on my way back home just now... its quite weird to join back after quitting so abruptly in feb.. but i MISS chorale so much! i think choir pple are friendlier than cross people by FAR. :) looking back i must admit that my decision to quit was too hasty, though it really seemed like the right option to take then. argh. i'm going to try to cope with BOTH chorale and Cross country... butbut i'm not sure if i can. actually i think its possible.. just need to manage time properly..!! which is VERY hard! be focused! but anyway, if i can't cope with both.. then byebye cross and cross coaches! (pun intended) just praying that i'll find peace with my decision.

well i havent really blogged abt my CCA woes.. but that was just a quick update lol. school! haha. oh KRATON is officially Dead. :( that's my OG btw. its really quite sad. but out of the 6 pple who still bothered to go to the z'cove... both shaun and sauling are involved in council... so oh well.. i guess that's the end! but we won't let time erode the bonds we formed during and after orientation! go kraton! :) OG outing soon?? watch x-men3? haha. i duno. hmm.. i must really thank God for a great class too. there are so many christian classmates.. strong ones too.. like joash and abby (duno abt the rest yet). i guess all of us can support each other in our christian walk with God! :) yup. i really want to invite people to church, but its really hard! ahh..everyone is BUSY.

haha. oh RJ chorale concert. it was great, though some songs were a LITTLE outta tune :) the one abt the 12 sons of Jacob... duno how to spell lol. cool but creepy. haha. i LOVED the alumni's Africa and PUNCH was hilarious! hha. Soleram was super nice and so was He's got the whole world. :) the good part abt watching it was that i really enjoyed myself cos most of the songs were familiar! but it was really hard watching them sing and knowing that i could be having fun there too. :( but oh well.. i'm rejoining. =D i'm happy! i went with a ragtag bunch of people. let's see.. church pple like celest and josiah, classmates like nat, gniq and emmy and another church friend dominic who brought his friends! lol. weird mix of people. haha. but we have a great time! though mr josiah was sleeping through half of it =D. celestine rocks! she brought a camera and we took lame pictures. they are on her blog lol. hha.

arghh.. gtg now. rebecca (my sister, not my wallet =D ) wants to sleep now. haha. this was such a llong post! haha. and fast too. haha. I hereby promise to update more often :) lol. i'll be getting some photos up soon! haha. cool eh. ok cya! i had fun typing this post. =D bye!!! night.

Song in my mind: Sing Me To Heaven (by RJ chorale) =D rocks!

He's there, the phantom of the opera!
