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.....
-Delerious

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
