bye 2005, Hello 2006

Wowee. Its actually the end. The year has finished.

This has been the well biggest year so far i guess.

And i do hope it gets bigger as time goes by.

I just finished all my appreciation and thanksgiving events.

And all were FANTASTIC.

But beyond all the laughter and everythin.

Seriously, Its a great one year.

Perhaps I have yet to express myself fully but...

THANK YOU

EVERYONE!!!

For everything you have done for me.

Well like what I said, 2005 has been a great year.

SO here's the top 5 events that happened.

With no order of merit at all.

1) O levels. - Till date, this has been the biggest challenges that I have faced. But i'm proud to say I did it with all I got, With all my heart and soul and mind.

2) Team IC promotion. - Not bragging about it but this has really changed me a little. With it came much joy, a sense of fulfillment and much responsibility.

3) The many seperations. - When we left maris stella and when we split section and when we POP from NPCC, I was seperated from so many of my great friends, STAY IN CONTACT.

4) Moving to EXPO. - This really stretched me tremendously, like what many people say. At times many of us are 24/7. Heh. So it was very memorable.

5) THE WHOLE YEAR ITSELF. - Well, in fact there's too many things left. So here's to everything. The whole year has been great!!! With HUGE challenges but with HUGE growth!!!

So thats it 2005!!!

HELLO 2006!!!!

Movie movie

Like what I said, these few days I have been more relax on my fun

Heh, so I'm staying home!! wahaha

Well to erase the boredom I'm borrowed 7 vcd's and downloading 2 movies.

My goodness thats 9 movies in total.

Well a few movies to really watch.

They maybe old but well they're all cool!!

1)Coach Carter 2)A lot like Love 3)Million Dollar Baby

All are like super nice la.

Especially the 1st 2 movies. Wow man. Heh.

Anyway can't wait for new year!!

next week, next year

To think of it, its scary.

Next year, wow is next week.

So many new things!!

Hello CJC, though I seriously don't wanna go there.

Well since I can't do anything about it.

BEst way is to enjoy it yeah!!

Well wow there has been so many changes in these past months after O's

We just had our W216 thanksgiving and my my, everyone has grown.

Recently I've had little to say on my blog, don't really know why.

Guess I don't realy wanna think so much.

Well, Christmas was cool.

Haha, for the first time counted down on the cab.

It was kinda made up by a memorable christmas dinner.

Now its new year, and well I'm broke!!

And I still gotta source for one last present.

This time a birthday gift. Shucks!!!

I'm a little excited for next year!! WAHAHAHA!!!

Then again I don't wanna lose the holiday mood.

I wanna bang the wall.

Speechless

Never have I been SO surprised.

I received a present yesterday, at my doorstep.

The amount of shock cannot be described.

But till date it has been the greatest surprise.

Making it one of the most awesome gifts ever.

Thanks my fren.

XMAS!!!!

Wow wow wow. Its finally Christmas.

It feels like last just yesterday when I think back of last Christmas.

Thought it was like a year ago, but it seems that I've changed so much!!

Time Flies. Heh.

Recently, all the incidents that have been happening are rather indescribable.

I'm really in a loss for words. All i can say is THANK GOD.

For everything, really.

I look back and smile at 2005.

I wouldn't mind reliving it!!!!

=)

Christmas!!!

Well haven't really had the mood to blog recently.

In fact, recently I've been feeling weird

I don't know what is this. But I can't really sleep properly??

Christmas is comin!!!

Though I'm still in process of catching the mood.

Oh well. Expo has been great.

I just hope next year will be greater.

Super Expo

For the past 3 days, I have only 1 thing in mind.

EXPO!!!!!

Wow man, Everytime i wake up, its expo time!!!

Considering i really do wake up late!! Well its really been tiring though.

I wonder how the working peeps cope with it man!!

Well I'm kinda tired.

Ok fine.

I'm not tired, I'm just lazy.

Throw me something about expo and i'll be high about it.

It's extremely addictive and fun...heh...

Move on....

This year, till date has been the year of the most partings.

It has been extremely emotional for not just me but many.

Well the first prating I had was during my NPCC POP.

Well at that moment i really missed it. Not too sure about now though.

second parting was with my schoolmates.

That was still one of the saddest moments but in a way happy as well.

I'm gonna miss not just 4F but all my long time frenz man.

Well the last parting is section 10.

Man this is the most recent.

Seriously, i think i'm really gonna miss this.

The days spent serving, spent running. Now there's no more.

Or not with these bunch of peeps that is.

I guess we gotta move on man.

Everything is practically changing for me.

Expo is here, school frenz changed.

I guess I'll just embrace it!!!=)

Feeling Rubbish!!!

Well its so annoying!!!

I really feel like banging the wall!!!

WOW!!! Finally!!! Lionel Choong is staying at home the whole day!!

Well I'm restricted, I can't do anything today!!!

Why???

Cause I'm SICK!!!

Well yes I'm sick, really sick.

Though the doc said its minor.

SMACK HER AR!!!

When I felt so feverish, she said

"Well normal temp to me."

What's wrong with her man!!! I recorded my temp using 2 diff thermometers 5 times!!!

And it read 37.8.

I mean how off can a thermometer get???

her main concern was, I think you're sore throat will clear soon.

HELLO!!!!

My main prob is like my nose and my fever, not a dumb sore throat.

Anyway she said it'll go away soon, heh that's the only right thing she said so far.

Well I'm stuck at home, and in extreme discomfort.

Can't watch TV for long cause my face will get real hot for some reason.

Can't sleep cause of my nose.

Can't go out cause I can't even walk properly.

This is rubbish.

I'm feeling Rubbish!!!!!

I'll miss this....

Today marks the end, or unofficially, the last hall duty for section 10.

A year just flashed past my eyes, the trials faced, victories attained.

Ushering is not what many would think of it to be.

To me, its fun, in fact explosive fun.

Serving not just the people, but God.

It's phenomenal.

Despite all the mistakes made, problems encountered in today's duty.

I'm at least sure of one thing.

I enjoyed it, seriously, it was never this fun.

Well I got promoted to a team IC, frankly that don't really matter to me.

Yes I'm happy, but what brings more joy,

is to see the old faces mature and new ones enter with excitement.

It was in fact very emotional, I'll miss section 10.

Well if the old don't go, the new won't come.

A new hall, a new challenge, a fresh start.

Expo here we come....

Well one last shout...

I'LL MISS YOU SECTION 10!!!!

I'm Crazy!!!

This is like so totally crazy.

Neglect the old post about me feeling weird and bored.

Well its seriously fun the past few days.

Well pool has recently been the Fun thing.

But it aint fun to the wallet man.

Sleeping over has recently been a norm as well.

And amazingly, window shopping has officially been declared enjoyable.

We went around shops cause i wanted a shirt and shoe...

Crazy thing is we simple started trying out everything.

Though i eventually bought something la.

Crazy man...and its getting crazier...

It is over....or is it?

Ok fine...I feel wierd. This has been the most anticipated time of my life. Or rather for the past 3 months. The pure joy of relaxing. An extremely heavy burden was kind of lifted. But then...Now as i'm blogging. I feel something is missing. I miss the books, i miss studying. As wierd as it seems. I really miss it!!! I've spent 3 months, i repeat 3 months of doing the same thing. Now that its over, I seriously do. Not suaning anybody who is in the midst of exams....but seriously...what can i do with all the spare time??? AHHHH!! ok fine....think i'll just sleep...yeah i like sleeping....

Everything that has a beggining has an end...

Well sounds familiar?? yeah i got that phrase from matrix, heh dumb show...So dumb I was captivated by it. Well yeah Its actually ending. My past 4 years just flashed by my eyes. Its actually the END!!! Tomorrow is the end. I can remember the days of mugging. well So many things, so many people to thank. I have no idea where to start. Though it'll be more meaningful if I post this like tomorrow, but well I'll be a little busy. Ok top places I have been to study and really treasure those placed.

1. NUS. Till date, its the best. Quiet, condusive, definitely the best.
2. Serene center Mac. Well nobody really goes there, but yeah its fun there.
3. Seng Kang BK. A little nosier but cushions are nice.
4. N&B outlet and S'goon. GOod place. Nobody goes there. But too cold.
5. Serangoon garden mac. Good to study, but too much distractions.
6. Marine parade lib. EXtremely good, but must go real early to book place.
7. Maris Stella. Not very good, but if all options are gone, last resort.

Next!!! Top people to thank while studying. No order of merit.

1. GOD!!!! I have never relied more on him. Thanks!!!
2. My bro. Drives me so often, cares for me...AWWWWW
3. CLass mates. They supported, encouraged, taught me.
4. NUS peeps, Great advice given, great people to be around, cheerful
5. Serene Center peeps, occupied my break times.
6. Ushers, who supported me and encourage me along this tough time!!
7. CG members!! Who definitely had a part to play in this success cuz of their prayers!!

YOu people are awesome!! WOOHOO!!!

Its ending...

Today was A maths. Wah. It was kind of retarded la. Not boasting or anything. But seriously thought it was real easy. I was all set for a killer paper. Mugged relative velocity till 4 last night. In the end. None came out. Waste of time. Anyway, its actually ending. Heh. Was looking through some basketball rubbish and i found some cool phrases.

Many A times, we see so many obstacles and think how difficult it is to accomplish, but when we look back, we feel accomplished. - Yao Ming

I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career, I've failed over and over again in my life. Thats why I succeed. - Michael Jordan

I bumped into CJ today...literally

This was such an eventful day. Just had to exclaim what happened even though i'm like in the middle of my O's. It was traumatising, sad, extremely funny and strange...

Well I got up this morning and off i went to bathe change blah blah blah, was heading to NUS with sharon cuz she drives. So yeah we left and headed there. We were all talking about car accidents in the car and as we turned into CTE, sharon screamed! Then oh, I realised someone on the windscreen of the car... Right We BANGED SOMEONE DOWN!!!! MY GOODNESS!! I was so so so freaked out, we ran out of the car and realised he was a cyclist cuz of his bike, then asked, are u ok? This is officially the strangest reply I have ever gotten from a victim of an accident k. "I'm fine, hows my bike?". How extremely "Kua ZAng" can that get?? Let me go to the extreme. so we had to rush him to the hospital, with the bike on board. He was conscience and what do you know, he startewd crapping with us. Saying I look Like sharon's BF and weirdest phrase. "You're not 16, you can't be...thats the best lie I've heard man..."

Seriously...I was wondering if he knocked his head real bad?? or is he that funny or rather crazy?? Well we rushed him to NUH, got down. Sharon parked the car and I followed him into the emergency. We went into wrong entrance, we reached the ambulance area. So we got directed towards the real emergency. But wait, he didn't go. He stood and complained at the bad service. I mean. HELLO!!! U JUST GOT BANGED DOWN!!! ACT LIKE A HALF DEAD MAN AT LEAST!! Though he was kinda limping, he was saying to me, "hurry up slowpoke..." thats down right crazy...

Inside, we got our number and the nurse examined him for a bit. What do you know, he started playing around with the nurse. He wanted to examine his buttock and right, he screamed. Literally screamed in the hospital. How embarrassing can it get?? We sat down. K now the sad part starts, we realised Sharon's car was in pretty bad shape (Realise the irony, he wasn't in bad shape, the car was worst. looks like the bike was ok good use after all). Then she was seriously freaking out. Called her sis and stuff, CJ (the victim) then called his mum, who was real pissed. Which freaked both of us out even more. She sounded scary. But irony was that she was fumed not cause of the accident but she thought CJ faked the whole accident to just pon school. I begin to wonder........ This is really strange.....

His pap came, then settled some stuff with the police etc. Though it wasn't big, but for insurance and stuff. He went in for the examination, came out and had to give a report as well. He then stated. "no la not 1st accident." Out of curiousity, I asked his dad. "So what happened in his 1st accident?". Unbelievably, he got banged down by a BUS. I REPEAT. A BUS!!! He's insane. Well after everything. We kinda became good friends. What a weird day?? I think so too....

7 more papers, 7 more days...

It seems a little pathetic and annoying these past few days, studying and studying and studing. For some reason, after this dreadful period of O's, i guess I'll miss studying? Heh...well maybe not. 7 more papers to go!! Woohoo!! And E maths today was retarded. well one A assured, however one 5 as well, that my friends is english. MAggot!!! hopefully the rest of the other 4 are also ones. Well all the best to allO level peeps out there...

8 left...

Its a long way to the end. For some reason i'm happy its a long way, I'm now recieving tremenous stress, perhaps its self-inflicted stress. Cause I seriously wanna do well for my O's. Well contemplated on whether to post this or not, but yeah. English was kind of a flop, or rather a disgrace. Long story. Bottom line is that i may already have a C5 in my list. I really wanna got below 10, thats why i'm really mugging now...In other words, the rest gotta be a 1. SOunds impossible yeah...Well cya again after O's...

Two down.

Well it has actually started...well why am i here online?? heh its mid-exam break...don't have any 'hiong' exams head so well, time to relax a little...study later at night...however, hopefully i can be as productive. Had E maths and SS today. Well can say both were real easy, however, well can say was a little dumb la. Made small dumb mistakes.

love unfailing....

A rich source of river...

A flow of life...

An amazing shelter over me...

A stream of love that never fails...

If there is one thing i learnt this period of my life other than knowledge...

If I have to choose 1 other thing...

That will be how important and heavily i depend on God...

The intense atmosphere i have felt recently has not translated into waste.

But into faith, hope, love...

Faith to know that I will do well...

Hope to hold on when things go rocky...

and love...

yes love...not from men, but from God...

To me this is so important...

To depend on a love that never fails...

A strong pillar...

Love unfailing, overtaking my heart... finding peace again.... Fear is diminished...

Rubbish 3

Well this is it, its actually 3 days away. My my...heh all the hard work we all put in comes down to this...Lets do well k...lets believe....=)

Weakness made strengths.

Perhaps we students have struggled oh too hard.

Feeling we are simply pursuing an imaginary goal.

Feeling we are simply working for the sake of it.

Pehaps well, we are on a road to becoming a loser.

No...

I refuse that.

Many seems to be studying, but feel so so tired.

Now ain't the time to be passing, time to get A's.

Many of you wouldn't know but i flunked my prelim 1.

Big time...seriously it was rubbish.

Humanities being my strongest.

And everything else. Being rather rubbish.

Despite my shortcomings in many other areas.

I wanna exceed my imagination,

I want to excel, I wanna shine.

I now have a goal to my my weakness my strength.

A solid strength.

Impossible?? Lets give it a try...heh

Maggot...

Ok for some reason i have been inclined o using this word the past few days. Maggot!!! Well no matter...kinda stressed, or rather tired. Been studying like this for what 2 months?

SOmehow it feels a little crazy and the moment it all ends i'm gonna look back and laugh!!

But oh well, 9 days to the actual thing, well not counting chinese. 9 days peeps, 9 last days...

I want to shine...Shine like the stars!!

13

Hey peeps, its 13 days away. Heh I'm no longer freaked. Cause I know I can conquer it!!

I know my God saved the day, and I know his Word never fails,

I know my God made a way....for me....

God and well Science...

Well, recently since I have been studying like a mad man.

I kinda took a little time out to check some quotes out.

Mind you this is purely out of curiosity. No form of intentions made.

Well this was kinda inspired by someone who said something I will quote later...

All these quotes originate from the well renown einstein.

They link the theory of physics and chemistry to God.

Ain't it cool...its like...in lame man A maths terms...proving God...

Instead of continually proving boring Trigo...heh...

Here goes...

1. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction
2. Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love
3. Imagination is more important than knowledge
4. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one
5. I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details
6. I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice
7. God is subtle but he is not malicious
8. The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility
9. The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. ( Ok fine...this is kinda not related...but its funny...)
10. God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically
11. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding
12. We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. ( I like this)
13. Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school
14. Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts

NUS

Well new joint to study. NUS. Heh. Ok fine...a little short to notify... but yeah, its a gd a place.

A few essentials...

Just for the fun of it and to destress, I came up with a few do's and dont's during exam.

Do's

1. Always, always pray!! That's the most important thing, get your spirit up
2. Get distractions away, studying outside may be good.
3. Music is good when things really get 'hot'.
4. Friends can be good or bad. Study with study peeps, not talking ones
5. Good food, makes a good student.
6. Caffeine may just do the trick to get you studying. Coke helps.
7. Burn the fats to destress. Exercise.
8. HAve a goal and vision in mind. so you can focus.
9. Like what you do, like to study
10. Remember to Rest. Even before exams.

Dont's

1. Study in front of com. Never helps, and even if you think you can study, you can't.
2. Never quantity but quality. Spend proper time and study SMART.
3. But never give in and use point 2 as an excuse to study an hour a day.
4. Eat heavy meals before studying, you'll sleep.
5. Multi-task while studying. Never helps.
6. Over-stress yourself. A happey student makes good results.
7. Burn the oil. Sleep when you're tired.
8. Think you know it all. You don't, so study...

Well thats about it, hope it helps...=p

Goodbye my friends...Hopefully this aint the end

Ok, Lets throw away the fact the the O's are drawing even nearer.

But today I just graduated.

Yes I am no longer a Maris. No more school song, officially that is.

Well it was a little emo today. No one cried.

But it was kinda touching to see how we all have changed.

Heh...we got a few pics...My class...2005 4F...

Well, its so many i have to post like 80 pics to upload all, so i'll like upload selected ones k...

No offence if ur face aint in here k...=p

Msn me if u want anymore pics!!=)

27

Right. I'm starting the stupid annoying countdown which everybody will hate me for.

Serious...the last time i put the countdown till chinese O's.

Many came and requested i stop doing that.

But I didn't, face reality peeps.

27 days to O's.

Let me repeat.

27 DAYS TO O LEVELS!!!!

Whoever who can't understand what i just said. Don't take your O's...

Well its like a redefinement of stress...

It's no longer the I chiong to please.

Or the I chiong to do pass.

Now is like, I chiong for A's...

Whatever you see with your eyes, is subject to change

It is finally over...but am i rejoicing?? I wonder

It's amazingly kind of emotional, Surprisingly.

A few days ago, I just attended my last official day in school.

Yes, my Maris days are over. They are over.....

Now frankly I'm extremely happy it ended, but well. For some reason, I'm kinda sad

I'm gonna miss this hopeless school. For 10 whole years. Thats like a decade.

I have grown from a little dimwit, to who i am today.

All in this school.

Ok fine, I'm getting a little emo here....Though I shouldn't be. But yeah.

Maris Stella, There were the good, the bad and the plain ugly.

Hmmm For the fun of it, and simply for the fun of looking back,

We took like a whole bunch of pics, will upload soon.

All Maris, study hard man...

last week

Well. this is it. Its actually my last week in Maris Stella. Heh actually I wanted to blog about something bad about one of the teachers but decided not to,

maybe cause i feel nice since its 3 days to graduation

or maybe i wouldn't wanna get caught by police.

Well yeah. Heh its actually dawning upon me that.

Hey Its over.

After 10 long years, its actually over!! No more horrible Brother Anthony,

No more white uniforms,

No more paya lebar school!!

I wonder whats going to happen after this??

My friends?? Hmmm...I pray I won't lost contact

Lets not k........All the best for you O's.......

Shine...Shine with the light of christ!!=)

Do what you love, Love what you do

It's a simple concept. A concept of success. I heard this phrase somewhere.

We need to know what we are called to do and do what we're called to do.

We need to love what we do and do what we love.

If we don't love what we're doing, we won't be successful in life

If we don't love what we do.

Start loving it or changing what we're doing till we start loving it!

It has to be FUN!!!

Why am I doing this??

It came to my mind a few days ago, how normal it is.

For someone to be so used to do what he's doing he forgets why is he doing it in the 1st place!!

For example, you study so hard, you forget why you are actually studying.

This sounds stupid, out-of-my-mind to post this. But yes I will.

Somebody spoke to me a few days ago and told me.

Are you doing this cause you have to or you want to??

Hmmm...Till now I still wonder. Do I do things cause I have to??

For the 1st time I'm kinda in a lost for words.

No real mood to blog......

It's been kinda wierd these few days. Very wierd.......

25

Seriously, its actually dawning upon me.

I ain't good enough.

25 points is like crap. Really man!!!

AHHHH!!! Means I muz work work work.

However, the relax mood is still on for some reason.

Definitely my results have improved, tremendously.

From 33 points to 25, not bad.

No fail, no C6. But it just ain't enough.

I'm NOT going to burn the oil.

I ran too fast, now i gotta take it a little slower.

Give me 2 weeks and I'll go crazy again.

2 weeks, I wonder if thats too short, or too long.

1st paper is 1month away,

Hmmm lets stress ourselves here.

1 MONTH!!!!

If you're not studying, study!!!

If you gave up...PICK UP!!

If you're getting 40 plus points,

Don't sleep the next few days..............

Perfectionist

I'm a perfectionist I suppose.

I seek perfection and want things to be really well done.

A simple pass is hardly ever satisfying.

Yesterday, I did not show that sense and urge for perfection.

Long story, won't really care to explain. But we all learn from mistakes.

Today, I entered school tired, sleepy but full of excitement for some reason?

Perhaps its been 3 weeks since our real school day.

And its been rather nerve wreching, waiting for prelim results.

However, As the day began, that excitement became worry, and nervousness.

It seemed that everything counted on this prelims.

I had expected it to be bad for some subs, and good for the others.

However I was disappointed but pleasently surprised time to time.

I had not reached my expectation. However, I seek to strive harder.

Much harder!! Its seriously not satisfying to see your grades in a devastating state.

Well whats done is done, we got plus minus 1 more month.

Jia You guys!!

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. - King David

Stage 2

Just finished preparing for Stage 2 duty tomorrow.

I'm actually kinda excited. I wanna redeem myself.

The last time I did Stage 2 for a "conference" or a big event was Emerge.

And that duty was the bomb of terror. Everything went wrong.

This time, I'll make it good. I want to serve much better.

Help me Father.....

Mentally I'm ready, Spiritually not yet.

Thats why I'm gonna pray now.....

Let's Conquer the Hall!!! - Brother Eugene

Be healed!!

Right, I just realised I'm not really getting better.

My cough is really getting annoying.

Eating is now becoming a chore.

It hurts to eat. Man how sad can that get??

I've kinda lost my appetite like that! Heh.

Well this is the worst. I was drinking water then I realised,

The water has a taste. The taste of blood. meaning. Some part of my throat is bleeding!!!

AHHHH!!!

I seriously Pray that I'll be healed. Not my will, but your be done!!!

Think I should go see a doc.....

Outpouring!!

I started the day feeling down. Perhaps cause I didn't really sleep well, or I was thinking too much about what was I to do the next day.

Seriously man.

At times I really wonder whats wrong with me??

Well back to reality. Frankly I wasn't feeling well. Not physically but in the inside.

It felt strange like something missing. Like I've lost that fire. I really didn't get it?

Everything seemed fine the day before. Now this? well I totally had no mood to do much.

Studied yes, was looking forward to a BS at 6. But I totally didn't feel like going.

I wasn't excited for some reason. Yes Wow!! FT2!! But hmmm.

I kind of dragged myself there. With a little encouragement from Vincent, things got better.

Lesson started. Kinda happy Pst Aeris was preaching, loved his preaching!

However little did I know it was a God appointment.

Pst began preaching. And wow!! It was really cool. He preached on the outpouring of the Hols Spirit and how it was like a waterfall. It seemed so in time for me.

When I was kind of down and getting tired. This was really a Word in season.

Not just that. I went home. Did QT. And wow wow wow!!

I realised this. At times we feel lousy but seriously, push on!! Heh I remember Ulf Ekman Saying this once. God likes to play hard to get...=)

Well this song you're hearing now in a way helped. Enjoy. It makes me smile...

Wo Ke Shou

It means "I'm coughing" in chinese. Amazingly, I'm sick. Yes Lionel Choong is actually sick. And Its real this time. Forgetting all those fake ones during NPCC. Heh. Well I'm kinda shocked that I fell sick. I don't think its normal or natural. The only time I'm ALWAYS sick is yes chinese new year. Thats when I stuff my sad little stomach with all those junk food. Well I went to the doc on Sunday. He said its a throat infection. OUCH!!!! That kinda pierced my heart. I mean it sounded bad. Then he said it can be cured in 2 or 3 days. Hmmm Well this is the 2nd day and it only got a little better. I dunno how this stuff works

I hate the taste of medicine. Always disliked it. And every morning I'm forced to eat a few tablets of sun chorella. Eeeee. What to do with 'Kiasu' Parents. Heh.

Well Its a real pain man. I pray that my throat gets healed soon. Its so so annoying!! For once I'm like actually following my doc's instructions when he said "boy no fried food". Heh I dunno But maybe its stress?? Hmmm.Ya Think its stress....Yeah Its confirm stress. =)

changing

Things don't seem the way they suppose to be these couple of days. I actually talked back to my mum when she said "don't study la, lets go eat dinner." Now I just hope I don't into a freak. Well at least I'm resting. Relaxing. Perhaps in a wrong way?? I realise I'm wasting my time in friendster. Which is so totally wrong.

What can i do?? heh...wat to do?? Think i'll go download songs....yeah...hopefully that seems interesting.

Well I was kinda looking back at some photos and wow. I realised everybody has changed. With the exceptions of one or two. People seem to mature at different rates. Heh. Well think i'm done. To all Maris...Enjoy your practicals!!!! =)

Practical??

A short one. Heh i found this kinda interesting...Though I have been studying like a mad man. I totally forgot about my practical tomorrow...Now thats funny...wahaha!! Thank God its physcis pract only....phew...=)

Empty handed

Life would be seem very regimental, standard, uniform these past few days. Frankly it has. Past few days were rather machine days, going out to study, coming home like 10 plus, pray sleep wake up to study again. Hiaz, well thats life. But today, one of my friends experienced something that I think would cahnge his course of life. Well he broke up. Heh. This is wierd man. When he actually broke up, I didn't know what to say, what to think. To be happy or.... I have always thought to myself this time is extremely crucial, its the time to study. But perhaps it seems to difficult without someone by your side. I actually brought myself to carry his burden. Someone once said, Don't be too involved with others till it affects you. I think even I'm getting affected. However sometimes its really good to know that i'm always taken care of. I will never run out of love. Hmmm... I'm always alive in your hands. It makes me remember how important God is.
Empty handed but
Alive in your hands.....

My Cup runs over!!!

God is good
The Devil is bad
And we win!

Whatever happens, everything happens for a good reason and we always seem to win!! Ain't tat cool?? Well I admit, there have been disappointments. But somehow it always seem that everytime bad things happen, and it passes...Something good happens!

It may seem so simple, frankly that has been the way it is!! I have been tremendously blessed by so many things these pass few days!! A few weeks ago, my Mum actually offered to get a new phone for me!! Wow man!! how often does that happen?? And its A Motorola V3!!!! WOW man!!

Last week when I just gave my very first fruits, I was given $200 by my grand parents as a real belated birthday gift.

Today I was real blessed by many usher leaders who indeed really pushed and inspired me!! its so coooool!! Not just that!! Cut long story short!! I was actually offered a job!! By Pst Lilian!! Wow man!! I was thinking of working after O's, I haven even started looking for one and I'm already offered one!! This is really a God Appointment!!

You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over - King David

Start your Engines!!

The engine is rusty, oil is old. However the car has just been polished, buffed and wiped totally clean. At times that is what I feel. Trying to think. Ok I'm going to rest for this period of time. But actually It aint working, The man inside aint getting enough rest!! Thus the wearing out process is not slowed down.

I stopped the car 4 days ago, now I gotta struggle to restart my engine!! Perhaps the old traditional method of giving a good old kick may work..........If anybody is reading this......Bring me into reality by doing what is needed!!!

The battle is over, however the war is not lost!! Well recently I just watched Gladiator. So totally cool! Well relating back, heh it seems the general became a slave and the slave overpowered the emperor, hopefully one day I can overpower these books of mine....

Sounds totally psychotic?? Frankly, I'm tired of being sane...right...now that just sounds wierd... I take back what I just said...Wait why am I typing whatever that runs thru my mind on this blog? Hmmm...this is wierd....I'm losing it...heh....

Tell me what you want, want you really really want.....Lionel SiNGssssss!!!!!!!!

Will you run with me??

At times we realise nothing is working. Seriously everything falls down. Everybody experiences it. Even me. However i choose to keep running. Despite falling. I may fall again but I'll pick up again. If its a vicious cycle, then i'll make sure i keep getting up!!! These past few weeks, I have seen people go up sprinting. However in the slightest stone that hits their feet. They fall, fall so badly they can't get up. I can help. A friend in need is a friend in deed. But there's so much I can help. Ultimately it all boils down to this, "will you run with me??".

If there's a will, there's a way.............

It Is finished

Months have passed. The worst is over? This is the very last time i'll be seeing such an exam paper ever again. No more papers titled Maris Stella. This is it. Prelims are over. But there's a bigger war waiting for us!!

People screamed, shouted for joy. Frankly its a real joyous occasion. Everybody deserves a pat on the back, everyone deserves a good rest. Don't care about how well you did in the past few papers, you deserve the good night's rest. All of us do. Me? What rest?

Its havoc, it madness, but its absolute pure enjoyment!! For the next 5 days, gonna relax and abandon my books. Bye bye. Heh. Went to East Coast Park, had fun there. Cycled to Changi Airport, k that is crazy and I'll never do that again. Learned how to skate and yes it fun! (except the falling part...OUCH!!!)

Well most of all. Thank God its all over. I really believe he carried me through this extremely tough time. I didn't break down from stress. Seriously thank God for that!

Outbreak....Disaster!!

There are a few sypmtoms of exam stress, many in fact but gonna name a common few I've seen.
1) Stress, everybody experiences this, rushing for time, lack of sleep, days of tireless studying. This is very common.
2) Lack of sleep resulting in eye bags!! Hmmm though its really ugly, i guess this can be tolerated. Maybe cause almost everybody has it?? even though you sleep like real early.
3)Realise you're gonna fail anyway. This is bad, you lose motivation to study and fail, continueing a very vicious cycle.
4) Losing your mind. This is when you start laughing for no apparent reason or start speaking way out of point at times. K this is rare...but it happens....this is scary...
5)Anti-socialism. This is when you begin to be so competitive or stress you begin to backstab people or ignore every friend you come across just cuz you wanna spend more time studying.
6)Indulging in Food. This is an outlet for relieving stress...once again...its a scary cycle.
7)Pimple Outbreak. This is the saddest of all. You get so stress, outbreak!! Whatever happens...please please...avoid this!!! Its a disaster!! Seriously...I noticed a few in my class having outbreaks...so please people!! Study hard but take care of your face!!=) Hopefully this helps any O or A level student...heh...

Time to Shine!!

Some people deem the Exam period the most stressful, some wierdos think its real relaxing. For me, it hasn't been a real stroll in the park. WHy am I here blogging and not studying?? I'm experiencing a rare symptom of exams, the "I think I know everything, but actually I don't so I got no more drive to study." This my frenz, is extremely annoying. Well...I don't know I still feel rather confident everytime I enter the exam hall, leaving confident is another issue altogether. However one thing that I realised, some people enter real stressed, and these guys are like REAL STRESSED, an outbreak of pimples, never thinking that they're ever ready, oh man. Please!! Seriously, its only an exam!! Well... How do you get confidence?? Well a couple of things I realise. 1) You gotta be confident with your knowledge, study hard but everytime you cover ground in your text or your 10 year series, think to yourself, you're one step closer, you feel much more assured!! 2) this I feel is the most important!! You have to be confident in who you are in Christ!! If you know you are a victor, a conqueror, overcomer. You'll realise, no matter how nerve wrenching it may be, you can remain calm. In this exam period, you can choose to shine or be shone upon, its up to you.

I can do the impossible

I have finally felt it means to truly be "stressed". Don't get me wrong, its not all from studies, in fact I'm feeling very very little stress from my Studies at the moment. however, yesterday was service day, everything went well, the message preached was awesome!! However, Hmm I won't really mention much but yeah, I really felt real stressed and a little irritated because of the stress, wasn't too happy when I went home, hmmm. Everything just seemed to pile on top of me, really so much! It gets real tiring. Seriously, I have never felt this way in an extremely long time. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO FALL DOWN ON ME!!!! Well when I got home, It didn't get one bit better, hmmm till I just felt, my goodness, I have no way out. Till I simply picked up the Bible and read then hey, God Is close to the broken hearted. It made me remember, remember all the good times, when God really delivered me, how he made me do the impossible. Then I got up and Praised, Like never before!! Then that night, so many people started encouraging me through sms, I have no idea why!! it made me feel real good. I felt I could take on Giants again, I felt I could move Mountains! I felt I could do the impossible once again!!=)

God is bigger than the air I breathe
The world we'll leave
God will save the day and all will say
My glorious!

Ok I had to post this...although racist but ahhh!! This is real funny!! 

Explore Explore

It was a real bor to study recently...don't really know why, found myself slacking much more than I should, anyway today crashed NYP!! Frankly it was kinda interesting, all their com labs and stuffs, the people there were kinda friendly. Studied there with one of my ushers, the mac there is so so so so so cheap!! $5 for a double mcspicy upsize!! WOW!!

Ok fine, I'm lame, I'm bored, but yeah chanced upon a blog and this person commented this on FOP ushering. "I envy those who couldn't feel their legs, I could feel mine, and they hurt." Heh...

Stress??

It's back to daily normal studious life now. I found it rather easy to get back on track. however, it just seems so near yet so far. WHY!!! I feel I know everything but the fact is I Don't!! This makes me lose the drive and motivation to study. I was kind of agitated yesterday when I was doing maths but it seems I've completed everything, however when I did a paper, Nothing could seem to work out for me. Its 5 days to prelims, I'm tired of being freaked out, tired of being nervous. I seriously don't know if this is good or bad.

All I Need is you , All I need is you Lord, Is you Lord..............

Festival of Prasie

It was a time or pure worship, pure excitement, enjoyment, perhaps there are many words to describe this. However, Festival Of praise has really been great!! Well lets start from Thursday. i kinda ditched my A Maths cuz I kinda felt i needed to head down for Support, so yeah went down. Helped in some areas, and wow to my surprise, Bro Alex needed me for support, I was thinking nothing much. Hmmm. Ran a little, kinda shack amazingly. With sports shoe I ran till my leg hurt a little. Imagine with leather shoes?

Friday Came homr from school, printed some stuff, got prayed up and reported for duty. And yes for the first time I worked with Sijia. Haha! Helped Sis beat for traffic then immediately went down to run for 80 or brother alex at 7. Was kinda hectic, people everywhere, learnt the importance of even the smallest things, not just the big picture but the minority as well! Praise and Worship was a real experience!!

Saturday went down a little early, did support, same thing, wow things like bottle necks, work stoppages, it all seems so clear! There after. Got ready for FOP! It's round 2! I felt Everything seemed to flow better, even got to work with heart of god ushers! Now saturday was real tiring.
However Praise and Worship was still awesome!! Majesty, Take all of me, all i need is you, I give you my heart, all these songs were sung, I loved them!! Wahaha!! Delerious was cool, Hillsong as well! Well that night, my brother for some reason called me to help him in traffic. hmmm ok. So helped him for a while. But i was sooooooo tired!! at like 1145 was literally waiting for my bro at logistics, then waited outside cause logistics needed to pack. then at like 12, my bro finally decided to go home!! WOOHOO! he passed me his jacket cover asking me to hold it, but then he grabbed my hand and pulled me, everybody around started singing happy birthday!! Then I realised!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!! 7th august!! Haha! I was so touched by it!=)

Sunday!! My brothday day!! haha well yes I still served!! This time with joy! Some people ask whats the best gift? HMmm frankly I would say, being able to serve God on my brithday!! wahaha!! Won't say much about duty but yeah wanna thank a few peopel overall for this FOP!!

Qing Ni - Guided me well!! Taught me much!! If you have not been here! I doubt I'll be where I am now!! Thanks abot!!

Sis shirley, Bro Eugene - You've given opportunities to serve as much as I can!! I expand my capacity and taught me much!! thanks so much!!

My CG W216!! - Despite them not being around me for this whole FOP, you've all helped me alot my by all of those sms!!

Bro Alex!! - Thanks so so so much for giving me this opporutnity!! It was indeed enjoyable running for you!! I have learnt much!! Absorbed much!! What I have gotten in SIS i'll bring it back and pass it to everybody!!

All ushers!! - Sorry If you're not mentioned but yeah! It's great working with all of you!!

Oh yeah one last person, last but not least,
Sijia - Well it's like the first time working with you?? Thought you really did a great job, never expected to work with you that well, expected us to joke around alot heh. But yeah I hope you learnt something this FOP!! COntinue to grow yeah!! I did have fun running along side with you!!

Miracles do happen

Well I guess miracles indeed do happen. In this short period of like what, 1 month?? I have seen the trials, temptations and blessings in this arise and build. However what recently happened has indeed made known, that this cannot be denied. MAking that 1st step indeed is the most important, it moves mountains. Here's the story. I was in my mum's car, driving home from BS. Was rather tired, but was conversing. Till she told me something. My grandfather had recieved some money and is going to treat us a dinner one day. I was thinking he won some horse bet or something. However, it was far from that. Many years ago, My Grandfather's grandfather was a son of a real rich man in the past. In other words, my great great great grandpa was a real rich person. So due to the relation, my grandfather would recieve like $2000 every 6 months. I was thinking, wow not bad. However this month was different, due to the real huge profits made, he got $20000!!!! tats like 10 times the usual!! Well it sounded good, then my mum told me, couple of years back, she lent money to my grandfather, now he returns it, double. she recieved $5000. Whats the amazing thing? When she pledged for arise and build, she was really financially tight. Really tight!! However she pledged a huge amount! Unknowingly, there was a move in the spirit realm. She pledged her precious, her real life savings!! How much did she pledge?? $5000.

Whatever God calls for He provides - Pst Kong

Something Amiss

Perhaps something is wrong. Or I simply can't accept failure. Whatever happens, I always seem to say It's good, though it's real bad, I still say it's good. Don't really know but Sometimes I really have to admit. It really is very very bad. Wondering what I'm speaking about? 2 things. 1 was yesterday's duty. Frankly It wasn't well done. It was rather bad. In fact very bad. I focused so much on the big things, till I forgot about the minor details. I was so absorbed with getting everything in place. I forgot to accomplish the minority. Perhaps I'm putting too much pressure on myself? Perhaps I think too much on the results and what will people say about me? Whatever it is. One thing I know. This is Wrong!!! Change has to happen! I like what Mike Connel said. We all have to change!! 2nd thing was that one of my friends, well I won't mention who, if i do it'll break his heart even more. However, Me saying it's ok it's ok may not work all the time. Something I realised.

Well nontheless next week is FOP. Well I was pleasently surprised by many things. I frankly don't know if this is good or bad. Prelims in 2 weeks. But many things were assigned to me. 1) I just recieved my position for FOP, Gonna run for Brother Alex once again!! Hopefully it'll be fun this time! 2)Recruitment! 3)Photos for Lawrence. Well it can all work well. But one thing! Time management! =) and definitely With God I can do all things!

You don't understand me? I don't understand you? So why care?

I have found it extremely ironic. EXTREMELY Disgusted by a few of my friends actions today. Not to the extreme of me getting angry but it was big enough to make a mark. It was simple, 1 guy broke up, and the other was pissed cuz that gal was his cousin. Frankly, anybody would get pissed. Even I didn't like what I heard. Not only that. This wasn't the first time.

Soon enough, rumour spread and gossiping began, from white became black. Soon many friends began toexclude him from conversations, keep away from him. The most hurtful thing was that we were all close friends, I mean one of the best of friends, then huh?? It all crumbled in an instant? I was annoyed not by what he did but how my friends reacted!

Instead of being angry, understand him! I'm sure he isn't a heartless man! Not only that. HELLO!!! We were a pose at first, definitely we can understand each other. However it seems not. Just because of 1 girl. there goes years of friendship. Frankly I'm dissapointed. Very dissapointed. If you know he is that bad, instead of condemning him, ever thought of changing him? It ain't going to be easy, but someone has to do it!?

Before we reach for Hate, Remember The Titans!

Bye

It was rather sad today as well. Won't say much. But for some reason, there was a sense of sadness around all the teachers today. I wondered. What happened? To my horror. Miss Serene Leong. Has passed away. Though she has never taught me, however I have known her as a good teacher, a good person. Frankly I'm shocked, this is well, frankly the 1st death of someone I actually know personally. For some reason I don't know how to react. Hmmm. Well one thing I know. Instead of mouring over her death, I rather celebrate her life.

Why Why Why

It was a rather fine day. Still studying. Till something struck my mind as I was conversing with one of my friends. And this has to be addressed now! Seriously, frankly, Honestly. Ask yourself, everyone!! Especially O level people! I have come to realise that many if not all of us are studying like mad men! But have you ever stopped, and wondered. Why on Earth am I working my ass off so seriously!? Why am I studying so hard! For what reason! For what Purpose?? Are you studying cuz everybody is doing it? Are you studying just to be the best in the class or school? Or just cuz you wanna get a good job in the future?

Well your purpose has to motivate you! WHatever it is! Be driven by that purpose you are studying for! I know why I am studying so hard. I study to release my potential, to impact people, for God's Glory, For God's future purpose!! I simply don't see the point of being the smartest guy and most successful guy on Earth but have no form of happiness. Now with your purpose in your eyes, go full steam!!

Complaining is the language of victims. - Phil Pringle

Doing what I can

Sometimes, its really tough to get your way, to get people to simply listen and follow!! The past few days a certian friend of mine. He was heading in an extremely wrong direction in life! At this crucial moment of O levels! I won't really reveal much. But it seems that he simply won't listen?

I have spent almost every moment with him talking to him about this matter. Getting him to get back on track and not be so distracted. However it was all in vain. Then I thought "Ahhh why don't I just give up on him, after all its his life." Then I don't know what but I felt kinda bad for even thinking that. Then it came so clearly, perhaps he isn't you, and you can't get him to follow every single thing you say. It's gonna be a different approach from now.

Potential...Maximise it!!

Within us lies talents, gifts and abilities, within us lies destiny, purpose vision. Within us lies the ability to move mountains. However, are we using it? Many of us are oblivious to the fact that we can release that potential within us. We all have the Potential to get A's for many subjects, potential to usher a great Hotel 4 every week. yes it comes with it sacrifice. But definitely, something wirth sacrificing. These few days have been kinda hectic for many of us. I have totally no time to sit and slack (perhaps only when I'm blogging). Somehow I kinda like this feeling. however we gotta watch out. Remember to rest people!! Sleep at least 2 hours a day!! Next week!! I'm excited!! Why?? Mike Connel is coming!! I'm excited for the deliverance, the ushering, everything!! Woohoo!! The week after that?? It's going to be FOP!! WOW!! How fun can that be!! heh. it's all in us, all the potential is in us, to do the ultimate impossible!! 7 August is also church anniversary, but juz realised, wow, I'm exctly same age as CHC. Bday same day. Birth year also same! Wow!=).

With Purpose Comes Pain - Dr Ar Benard

Nike : Leave the old self

Was taking a break from my studies and watched 'lost' However an advertisement caught my eye. A sports advert from Nike (Don't ask me why these catch my eye, addidas with 'impossible is nothing' blew me away as well.). It started of rather interesting, a guy running a very long distance, he was shacked out, so he came to a stop saying to himself "ok lets rest". However the same person but at a different angle started saying "stop what stop". A rather long but interesting conversation between the physical man, and the man inside. They were debating whether they should continue running or not. Whether to push beyond limits and do the impossible or not. Then the man inside started to run. The physical man left behind, not following. Soon enough, the man inside began to run off leaving the physical man behind. I was so WOW!!!!!!!!!! It depicts a rather good story of the Old and New man. Leave your old man!If there's a chance you all have to catch it!

Leave your Old Self - NIKE

2 am

Its 1.15 in the morning!! Was thinkin of studying till like 3 am. Cause it seems like a long way to finish what I wan to complete for today, So i drank 1.5 litre worth of coke! Wow. But eh Realised I just finished everything! And I'm SOOO ENERGETIC!!! Going crazy..................................................................

Tick tock tick tock

The clock keeps running. So am I!! I'm gonna run! Like never before! Ok If memory serves me right. I have only 26 days left. That ain't long. Well at the rate I'm going. Only 2 things will happen. I rejoice and jump up and down! Or I break down before my exam even arrives. I planned everything out today. Everyday I'm gonna study 7-8 hours.(I hope). Believing that God will strengthen me every single step along the way! Wow! It's so scary eh. Perhaps I'm a little 'kua zang' or maybe I'm average? Frankly I don't know. But I learnt not to judge yourself by other's standards. But I just do my best! If you ask me. I'm scared, very scared, nervous, terrified, fearful, it so near. However despite all of these. I still believe and trust God! I'm going to be an overcomer.

"BUT GOD made a way when there is no other way!!" - Phil pringle

Breakthrough!!

This would perhaps be one of the greatest moments in my life. What else, but arise and build. At the same time. Nobody said it's going to be easy. Brace yourselves!! Last sunday was so challenged and impacted by the Word. The precious. I do remember long time ago, someone preached it, that same moment there was a prompting to give up one of my most precious possesions in my life. Yesterday. It happened again. This time. Double. This will really hurt! But! It's all worth it! Duty was also on. Did hotel 4. Felt I did better. However mistakes here and there. But i guess there's much more to improve to learn to grow from and most importantly to serve God much better!

Saturday I was rather inspired by a movie. Remember the Titans. It was a rather simple show. Or rather that's what I expected. It was so touching. A very good show. A must watch for everybody!!

I leave you with this phrase. "Before you reach for hatred, Remember the titans"

It is finally finished!

"I can't wait for my turn to Pass out", those were the exact same words I spoke of when I was in Sec 1. Young, small, naive. Now unsure if its horror or joy, its finally over, the book of NPCC for all sec 4's was finally closed yesterday during POP. The parade may not have been so grand as I expected it to be. However the most important thing is the heart I suppose. Looking back I remember all the good, bad, ugly, very ugly, and victorious times we had together! All the way back to the 1st ever swearing in ceremony in sec 1, to our very 1st ATC in sec 2, to NPCC day parade in sec 3, to Passing out in sec 4. I may have been a slacker. Frankly a big time slacker. However I think I'm going to kinda miss this. Not all the punishments, not the idiotic camps, but the people, Now that I think about it, Those people have made a difference to me, in my life, almost everything! Amazingly, NPCC has really changed me. What all the officers or ex-officers to us said yesterday really did kind of impact me, follow your passion, not the people. Perhaps the tiring journey has ended, but I have a feeling its the start of a new book, somethin bigger! =)

Last but not least. Spit Fire!! God Bless!!All the best! Rock on!

Wow busy busy heh

1 week since I blog. Miss me? =p. Well studying real hard for the Prelims in 30 days!! Well I think I must be freaking some people out. DOesn't matter, time is no longer on my side. However I do have the creator of time on my side.=) Lets see wed went for BS, fasted as well. Hmmm perhaps I'm getting used to it. Don't really know if thats good or bad, also had oral, won't speak a word about my oral examination!

Thursday kinda forgot what I did, but remember I was real shack that day, can't remember why. Friday went to church super early to study, before overnight PM. Studied like for 5 hours. Was real tired!! Then reported and ushered for the overnight PM. Did hotel 4, hmmm perhaps this was a below average duty, but nontheless still had fun! Presence of God was extremely strong that night!! Much stronger than the 1st overnight. However it was also much tiring physically!

Saturday had CG. There was a great breakthrough in the sprirtual atmosphere, you could feel it in the air, in the spirit man inside. Wow!! Thank God for that!!

Sunday!! Wow I was so happy!! well I got promoted! heh frankly I was kinda surprised by my cgl in the morning giving me a call and congratulating me. well at first I was ok, MM le. Hmmm ya lor. Didn't really think it was THAT big. However I was pleasently surprised by my beloved 10E. they popped out and gave me a card and a book. I was soo happy!

Monday Tuesday Wednesday all started to chiong le!! Now i'm sleeping at 2 everynight!! It feels real tiring! But!! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!

Would would make my day??

Call it a happy streak if you want. But I'm going crazy!! Crazy in making people happy!! I don't know why after hearing what Sis Beat say about her experience in Japan. It made me wanna do the same here!! Everywhere I go, I try my best to make someone's day!! I juz can't help it!! Smile!!!!!!

Smile!! It makes a difference

Many people who know me well. Would definitely know I'm someone who likes to smile. Even in the toughest times, I still smile! =). I was rather impacted by today's training group meeting with Sis Beatrice. She spoke about well recruitment. Won't speak much about that but what really impacted me was about her Japan trip. I quote all from her "We were in the train station, and yes it's really messy crowded and very very very busy!! Bustling with energy!! However we were contemplating whether to buy the 1 day ticket or the normal ticket, it may be cheaper?? not too sure. So we Requested help from the station's personel. Amazingly that person went out to us helped us calculate everything!! To see which is cheaper. We thanked him headed to the ticketing machine and amazingly that personel went up to us and helped us made sure we bought the right stuff!! Wow!! Not just that when I was so impressed with Disney Land's people!! Whatever happens, they smiled!! They went the extra mile to help people!! Be it say a good bye or say that hello or simply smile!!" Hearing all t=of these made me feel wow. We make a difference, not just by the things we say, but the things we do. Go the extra mile to make that someone's day, go the extra mile to please that stranger you may not even know. You'll never know, perhaps you would have impacted lives?? How do I know all these?? Cause I have been.

A moment like this...

A moment like this. Got this from a song then realized that perhaps its quite cool to post something about it. At times there are times, moments you just wished that it would last FOREVER Many moments you would hate to end. Sometimes you wait for a LIFETIME for a moment like this. Same principal, this could just be the time when breakthrough really comes, this could just be the time that we've waiting for. Arise and Build!! Not just that but many other things, times spent with frenz. Heh not just church people, but many frenz!! Imagine us not talking crap, sleeping in class, playing, having fun together anymore. Moments like these. Hmmm heh. I may be crazy but yeah. I seriously don't want it to end! Heh. Youth day just ended, makes me looks back and think, wow 4 years and this is my last youth day!!

Step Out!! From your comfort zone!!

Like what it says!! Step out!! Was rather fascinating today. Went to meet pastor Audrey for our Arise and Build which is coming up. Waited for 3 hours!! Wa!! Was much longer than I expected. Went with my bro adrian and loong. After everything, my bro offered to send me home!! (Seems kinda Auto eh) At first I was kinda shocked cause I never asked! So on the way home we talked. Realised talking to him makes me feel happy! Then he offered to buy me supper!! Wow!! Than I was really shocked! Came home made me feel happy by eating with me! So my bro was really good to me!! For some reason. So after supper, like 11?? He asked to help in his CG gifts. At this point I was Sooooooo sleepy and tired. seriously just wanted to sleep. Then I thought. Wa seh he did so much for me. Hmmm...return the favour!! So it's a whole lotta stepping out of the comfort zone!! heh simple story eh. =)

Nobody said it's going to be easy

Ever heard that phrase?? nobody said it's gonna be easy?? Heh. Well in a way, nobody said what we're doing now is gonna be easy. In fact its far from it. Whatever I'm or rather most of us are facing isn't that simple. Splitting your mind in so many parts. You feel you wanna blow up!
Nobody said it's easy to do study and get 6 points.
Nobody said it's easy to plan out Expo
Nobody said It's easy to Impact people.
Nobody said it's easy to keep fit.
Nobody said it's easy to keep cool in the face of sure failure.
Nobody said it's easy to believe and day despite doubts i continue.
Nobody said all of these are easy at all.
But heh. If it's so easy, where's the fun in that! If it's so easy, there ain't not kick.

49 days

Ok cutting the long story short. We all just found out today that we only got 7 weeks to our prelims, frankly we're freaked. Very much freaked!! We all thought it was 100+ days away. Heh so so so wrong. Time to pull up my socks, open up books and HELLO LATE NIGHTS!! I miss those times. Heh.

Petrol Man

Well been a while. Heh. So well these few days have been rather smooth sailing for me, studying hard! Today was kinda interesting. Went to church a little early cuz I was following my Bro. Wore an out of the blue shirt. A yellow shirt. Hmmm?? Well my 1st impression was. Ok not bad, but seems a little wierd, can't put my finger on it though. So went to church. And oh my goodness!! I then realised that the colour code of my shirt. Exactly matches the one in Shell petrol station!! Everybody was like, uncle full tank. Oh man!! I'll never wear that again. This is what people call "Fashion Disaster" heh. Celebrated Sis Shirley's birthday. Thought everything we did was real cool!! Surprised her big time. Heh i guess this was all the result of great planning!! Btw. Heh anybody sec 3 and under needs tuiton?? don't mind giving!!! $5 a lesson!!! Serious!! I need money!!

Hilarious!!!

I so happened to chance upon Sis Jing's blog this morning, and noticed a few links. Jan?? Guess it's Janice. Wow it really is. Then realised they all link to many many section leaders and team ics. All of their blogs are totally hilarious!! WAHAHA!!! I have never seen this side of out section leaders. They even have a 5566? heh. Funny eh. Even noticed Sis Beat. My goodness. =) Well i guess we're all humans eh. Well finally we kinda completed our project!! Just need to prepare for our presentation other than that. It is finished!! Today was supposed to wake up at 8. However apparently woke up at 8.30. While school starts at 8.30. Meaning I gotta rush. So kinda had no morale to chiong. Decided to head back to sleep!! But amazed I woke up at 10. Expected to wake up at 12! This is my last day in this room, my bro's room. As much as i miss him, I have a feeling I'll miss his room even more.Like what our friendly Yoda Says "Sleep you must get, or looking glam you will not", guess i'm heading back to sleep!! Nitez!!

In spite of doubt!!

What is faith!! It means a whole lotta things, heh. Well what started off as a good phrase from Phil Pringle, eventually became a whole new revelation which really spurred me on these past few days. Heh let me explain. Fear is doubting and not doing it. However Faith is doubting but in spite of doubt you still do it!! Thats what its all about!! When you're faced with the worst possible scenerio, are you still going to hang on and believe that God can pull you through?? Thats faith!! When you really believe God for a 6 pointer O level score but you seem to be getting 30 over now, you seriously face a huge doubt!! but continueing on is Faith!! =)

Interestin post

Wahaha!! Just read this post, you won't believe it, its from Sis Jing, was quite fascinated...heh so gonna quote a few parts.
"the way Yoda killed those clone guards way taller than him... height isn't everything, i console myself".
yoda's got more brains than you can imagine under those wrinkles.my favorite yoda quote comes from the Empire Strikes Back, where he was teaching luke the way of the force..."Do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda...
And when luke fails in lifting his battleship out of the marsh and yoda suceeds, luke says:"I can't believe it!" yoda replies:"that is why you fail...
"hmmm... words of wisdom from a fictional character- if we only try, no wonder we don't succeed. we have to (nike) "Just do it!"
Well i found it a little hilarious to see all this on her blog. heh!! and it all has some moral to it...maybe not the height one...heh!

back to reality

Well holidays have flew by, thats it, my last week of the holidays. Yesterday was father's day. Both my mum and brother ain't around so guess it's just me and my pap. Frankly it was the wierdest father's day ever, but at the same time, the best. Maybe because it was the most well quality one. It was real wierd. But I kinda liked it.=). Well today I kinda snapped myself back to the impending truth, its 100 days to prelims. It's comin. Real near. Getting freaked by it, but i guess while there's no stress i better start learning to enjoy studying. Yesterday had service as well. Was kinda impacted by the sermon. Looks like the view of money is totally new for me. I'm simply amazed and awed by it. At the same time, took Hotel 4. Hmmm, I guess, well, There's a whole lot to learn!! =). I guess well I'm sparing all the other minor events heh. So lazy to type all in!! Wahaha!! Now we're finishing up our Expo project. Finally next time i'll let all of u check it out!! Btw...If somehow my bro reads this. You're room, laptop and everything else is wonderful!! WAHAHAHAHA!!! HAd a fashion disaster yesterday. I had too many clothes to choose from had to call up 1 of my fashion consultants to ask. heh. TAts it folks!! Cya around!!

It's been a while!

Blogging ain't too consistent nowadays, kinda busy nowadays trying to squeeze whatever time into my books. It maybe futile effort but well it's worth a try? heh. Well I have no idea where to start. Hmmm ok from Sunday?? Lets take a trip back to the past!

It's a great day today!! Great day to serve God!! Well thats getting a little old let's try something different. Do you think you look good today?? Yes?? let's try something even more different. Do you think I look good today?? Haha!! That was how i started serving. Was supposed to give allocation so well tried something different.=p.Early morning!! YAWNZ!!! It was so tiring!! Arise from bed Lord Lionel!! heh! Saturday was an awesome day. Went for svc and support. And rejoice everyone!! Quee Leong went down!! Heh!! Though he may not be able to come but the seed has been planted! Sunday reached at forgot what time for meeting with Sis Jing. Wow kinda like how she runs things! Did traffic with Jason. I kinda like working with him. Chen Huat also. I have no idea why. Can flow with them?? heh!

Next was Monday. Camp time!! I got quite excited. Well i was utterly disappointed. What we did the whole camp. Hmmm. Sit and talk and do NOTHING!!! AHHH!! It was the most slack camp however the most boring one as well!! Well we were able to have fun during Fantasy Island. A game where we dirty all the campers. With what?? Mud mixed with kiwi mixed with flour mixed with leaves mixed with chilli sause and many more. It stinks it feels horrible and its disgusting!! Had to leave the enxt morning cause had something on. So happened also was able to go shopping on tuesday!! Haha. Had to shop for a father's day gift. And found it!! Not bad. Had no money but went into every other shop to just try clothes!! WAHAHA!!

Wednesday is flag day!! Wa Seh!! It was fun but also kinda boring!! Starting we so wanted to sell flags but eventually lose steam. Then went to cine ate breakfast, wanted to catch a movie but in the end aiya...nvm ba!!

Well a besides the point blog. My bro and mum are away in Israel. Hope they have real fun and enjoy!! While I'm at home enjoying as the king of the house!! Woohoo!! I've been spending the past few days in my brother's room as well!! SHiok!!

Well was quite impacted by these few lines. In all of your life, you make choices.The choices you make today determine the future you live tomorrow. Choices you make are generally split into Life and Death. Choose Life!! You will make choices which determine not just your destiny but others around you as well. Are you going to choose death and live in sin or choose life and live in righteousness?? Are you going to choose death and not create revival, not stand in the gap or choose life and do something for the people who are dying one by one by one to sin. It is all your choice. To believe to step out and make that choice of life even when everything is opposing that choice!! Make a choice to choose life!

Can one man make that difference??

This may sound awfully similar to my brother's preaching challenge but well I read through Bill Wilson's book and thought this was real good. Its long but please do take time to read!

This story is picked up in the bible Numbers 16. When all of Israel didn't like what God gave them, complaining, they were rebeling against not just Moses but God himself.At this point God sent a plague through out all of israel.A wave of death was in the air and into the crowd. The people started dying, 14700 people died! Understand this, there is an urgency when so many people are dying to DO SOMETHING!!! You don't have to but you choose to!

But can one man make a difference? Do you honestly think or believe in your gut that one man can make a difference in this thing we call christianity? We all say one man can make a difference, it's nice christian talk, proclaiming that in Bible School is great. But do you really believe it? Think about it, can you change this country? Can you change this marketplace as a student??

Back to numbers 16, the people are dying!! Moses turned to Aaron and said "Go do Something!" The instruction was to do something because they were faced with such a situation. And what do you do when people are falling over dead, one by one. Notice that Aaron was close enough to be affected by this, that demanded a response. The instruction was to run to the alter to do something! The urgency is screaming! It demands action! Aaron then grabbed a censer which is like a cup, ran to the alter scoop some fire ran to the middle of the crowd. However at this point Aaron didn't know what he was doing, he just doing something. And in the bible it says that where he stood the dying stopped.

This says it all. Aaron was standing IN THE GAP between the living and the dead. Where he stood the dying stopped! Can one man make that difference?? Aaron made the difference! But what did he do?? He ran to the alter caught the fire and plunged into the crowd. Aaron and the fire was all that stood between the living and the dead! ONE MAN made that move, that individual became a catalyst for all that followed, they made a difference.

In this relevant world, most imprtantly its about building relationships, don't just knock on every door, but make a difference in thier lives. We have to be the ones making the difference! Like Aaron do something which makes a difference!! Catch that fire!! From God!! Plunge into that crowd and make that difference!! After that, others will follow doing the same as you!Everyday people regular workers no hotshots or any of that sort, just faithful people who really care! Some say I can't do it!! Its too tough!! Aaron was 100 years old when he ran to tha alter! Yes you can can do it, you just don't want to! A man giving food to an orphan, that man made a difference in theat orphans life!

Can one man make that difference?? YEAH!!! Its all said, just remember there are people out there dying falling away to the Prince of this World! There are people dying!!! And it takes one man!! One you, One me to make a difference to those people!

Indeed Extraodinary

Words cannot describe what many of us have went throught the past 3 days, awesome spectacular, these words just don't cut it. WHat happened?? Something Extraodinary, a time where people all emerge to see and experience what they have never experienced before! Well from preperation till the thing itself. It was all awesome! The prayer meetings, the pumping up, the encouragements, Wow!! Let me get to the details!

1st day! Wow!! We recieved news that i'm gonna do Alpha 2!! Kinda surprised and oh my goodness supposed to wake up at 545 to reach at 715! But i didn't care really wanted to check it out! Went there actually nothing much for alpha 2, no whiteboard so helped put with traffic, it was really exciting!! Ran about here and there, then prsise and worship was spectacular! It's been so long since I experienced somethin so great! However the clutch time was during the Sermon when Pst preached on the schools, campuses. Felt a great burden for Maris Stella!! AHHH!!! Next session was talent time! WOOHOO!! Although not as good as last year i felt. But this year had many more out of the blue performances! The trio which was a combination of the chinese Er Hu, Indian Drums and western guitar. Wow! Next was the 3rd session, too bad but ya was sent up to do overflow! Never mind!! I'll serve with all my heart! The whole overflow was full in 5 mins?? heh fast man! Then could enjoy praise and worship. And wow!! once again! the presence of God was awesome!!Then headed to the children church to sit cuz i had to prepare for alter call there. The thing which really impacted me this whole conf. Indeed was this msg. It really made everything so clear!! Especially for ministry wise. I'm so so happy!! And thank God!!!

Now its the 2nd day!! Was so very very tired!! only caught what 4 hours of sleep?? And was supposed to do stage 2!!! AHHH!!! Quickly rushed down and settled everything. Not gonna say much cuz well save space =p. Next was my brother's preaching challenge! It was great!! I have never felt so proud of my brother before!! Next was session 3. Was also great I felt!! Awesome! Once again!! REVIVAL!!!

LAst but not least!! The third day!! I did traffic today. It was an awesome time though i couldn't really catch the message, the alter call was immensely full of God's presence! Wow!! The end was really the best!! I kinda miss emerge now. ALl the days the Hols Spirit really poured down his presence upon all of us in the whole church! I have never felt so ministered in such a long time! After Phil Pringle this was the best! Thank God for such an awesome encounter!

Beyond

This indeed has been a little stretching of abilities. Extending of capacity. Times of miracles. Saturday was supposedly a rather normal day. That was what I thought. Till I realized, it was immensely tiring! Though I was hindered by a sprained ankly I went on for CG as well as support duty. That week we all met up for lunch or most of us. Good time for fellowship, never had this for such a long time. Went down for support, was a little late cause rushed down and also cause of the leg. Came and realised that there were 4 huge boxes of recycling to do. It seemed almost impossible to complete. Not only that there were so little ushers! We made do with what we had till I realised we had 9 inserts. Sis Caiyun came and wow realised we needed to paste stickers for 4000 emerge cards and communion was also taking place. It was rather tiring to realise that there was that much to do. normally we would have completed everything at 9?? but then, at 9.30 we only did 1800 bulletins. It was that slow so Sis caiyun asked a favour from sect 9 and thus we did only 3000, didn't even complete. However through these tough times. Through these times of hardships Lives are impacted. I seriously do hope whatever form of encouragement and impact got through to the ushers!

Today was awesome did Alpha 2 for the 1st time. Fun try Fun experience won't speak about it much, However!! Reuben Morgan was awesome, for some reason was much better than expected!! He went up and WOW!! Message was great, Conversionist!! And yes like any other CD went to buy Reuben Moragans CD, and it is awesome!! Great!! A must Buy!!

Another thing was that I was looking through You the leader and was really moved by it. A few phrases

"We may see the facts as they actually are, we subscribe to the truth of the Word and make that assume precedence so we live in the victory of Christ!"

"Revelation is spiritual insight given by the Holy Spirit. It is knowing. This knowing is what Faith Is. Knowing things which are not revealed by natural senses. Acting on revelation is what faith is."
"God didn’t have one of you. He wanted one of you. So he Made one of you.
The key is the revelation of who God is and who we are, this changes our destiny."

Ouch!! My fingers!!

Simple short post. My fingers hurt!!! Why!? cause well i've been playing the guitar like once every hour the past 3 days, since adrian was around, he taught me some stuff. Now able to play 'thank you' and 'Jesus Reigns" or most of it!!=)

Sneak Peak

4 days gone. Well Hopefully they were all well spent. After the chinese O's I guess there's not much break. Now its the start of round 2!! Gotta start studying again! These few days had A maths lessons and tuition. Integration. Amazingly caught on to it a little faster than expected. Thank God!! Well 2 chapters to go and thats it for A maths!!

Yesterday night had a little sneak peak on my bro preaching!! And wow man!! Get ready to be impacted like never before!! I was like wow!! Jia You!! mY brother!! =) K back to studies!! Btw ankle still hurts!! But thank God its much better!!

Sleepy day

Man!! I'm sleepy!! I have no idea. Since yesterday night. Wow its really tiring! Yesterday went to catch Star Wars 3 again. Once again!! Its really an awesome show!! Everybody has to watch it. Then after that Adrian and Loong came over to my place to sleep-over, we had a little prayer meeting, was split into 2 parts and wow!! The 2nd part was awesome!! God's presence simply flowed like water through the whole room, through the heart and soul. Today went to school at 7!! Managed to catch only 4 hours of sleep, maybe that explains why I was like drop dead tired. Then after Came home much easier than expected cause Goh TK didn't come so yeah! Sleeping a little later tonight, gotta study!!

Wo De Jiao!!!

Well, Sorry didn't update since O levels. And yes!! Its over!!! The Chinese paper is over!! That day we practically went wild!! Tables and chairs flew!! Screams and shouts!! I'm just so happy so very happy that the IT IS FINISHED!!! After all the hard work and effort. Now its all up to God. Immediately after O levels I HAD TO GO OUT!!! So went out with Loong, managed to get myself 2 shirts and he got himself a pair of jeans. All were good buys. But I think the highlight was most definitely the Star Wars 3!! Man It is an awesome spectacular show!! ALL MUZ CATCH IT!! I'm serious. I was seriously in a very big WOW!! Went home at abt 10+, Went to watch "the new police story" on DVD, not bad, kinda nice!

Sadly, nest day still have to go back for school got lessons. So went back to school, lessons were alright, but during recess went to play basketball, and yes, the worst happened!! I sprained my ankle!! OUCH!!! That really hurt. After so long of not playing and suddenly injuring myself. Hiaz, it seems perhaps basketball truly aint my cup of tea. So was literally limping, Limped to the chem lab 3 storeys high!! and wow!! Had a mock prac test!! I did it limping to get all of the chemicals, It was terrible!!

Soon after went home changed and went out again to cut my hair, Too bad kelvin is not around, so just went to jantzen and requested to anybody to cut for me, Satisfied with the style but not overjoyed. At this moment I was like forcing myelf to walk properly. A grave mistake!! Went to the library to read up on first aid. Check up on any immediate way to get this prob out of my way!! After that went to meet sijia at harbour front, then after that went to meet loong at outram. Went to creative to get a pair of head phones, and loong to change his mp3. Ahhh!!! The pain was getting unbearable!! So well started praying, take the pain away God!!! Eventually it subsided for a while. Thank God!!

Went to church and realised. "oh my goodness, how am i gonna serve?? I'll definitely not be a traffic ic or anything like that, most prob door usher." So went in and as expected was doing traffic, Ziliang hotel 4. All ready to do door usher. Hmmm for some reason felt kinda useless, Felt that i could have helped out more. Then during general briefing for traffic. The unexpected happened. Took 456 side for traffic!! I had no idea how am I supposed to do it!! QN requested that I not move!! AT ALL!!! AHHH!! A new usher timothy was also attached to me. Guide him and stuff. At the end of the whole service I think he enjoyed himself. That really made my day!!

Traffic as a bai ka. Considering I had 15 ushers for my side. It seemed kinda easy. for some reason when i served no pain??=) Thank God for that. At this moment I kinda got used to one thing. Seeing the big picture by not doing anything!! Sending out people like never before!! Soon I realised my bro was taking 123 side. Kinda cool. The choong's both taking a side. =). After everything really learnt to flow, impact the ushers and not do things myself!! I enjoyed it. And the prayer meeting was awesome!! It was like wow!! The presence was extremely strong!! And wow!! It felt like this was just a preview. Can't wait for emerge!!

Today woke up and OUCH!!! my ankle really really hurt. COuldn't go to school today and eventually went to the chinese doctor. Those people are mean!! And yes!! they wrapped up my leg, and it stinks!! EEEEEEEEE!!!
