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!=).

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!

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.

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. =)
