Broken English Hearts and Cardiac Arrests for Brazilians

• And the hearts of Englishmen are broken once again at the quarter-finals at the World Cup, and so did mine. And again, they are kicked-out at the quarter finals by the Portugese speaking people. In the last world cup, England was defeated by Brazil (portugese speaking) at the quarter finals. This year, they go home at the quarter finals again, beaten by Portugal through penalty shootouts. One note, England has never ever won in a penalty shootout in the World cup finals. England played well but to only scramble in front of goal, missing high wide and handsome at the open shots they got. The referee was also too harsh on Rooney for giving him a red card for a foul that only deserved a yellow. Christiano Ronaldo also gets his Oscars for play acting and making the referee flash the red at Rooney. For your information, Ronaldo ran from the side of the pitch to the centre so that he can tell ref to show Rooney a card, at which Rooney tried to shove Ronaldo off. How pathetic, Ronaldo's act only seemed to be childish to me. Its like telling the teacher that your friend never do homework in primary school. But I take my hat off for Portugese goalkeeper Ricardo for his superb performance saving the shots at the penalty shootout. Results, 0-0 at normal time, Portugal beats England 3 - 1 on penalties.
• And 'merci' to the French for helping all of us prove to Brazil that they do not rule the football world. France beat defending champions Brazil 1 - 0 in the quarter finals. What was said to be the oldies squad kicked Brazil out in the quarters, preventing them from adding the sixth star to their jersey. Brazil was out of ideas when all of their key players are unable to get a touch of the ball in the penalty box. Their samba was not hot enough and the dancers could not move. The French fortress held firm, allowing the 1st shot on target only at the 91st minute by Ronaldo. Zidane also proved that age does not slow him when he set up the ball through a free kick for Henry to slot it in the winning goal. No.10 Ronaldhino was no match for the experienced no.10 Zidane of France who was simply magical on the pitch. Ronaldhino could not dance and the smile was just simply wiped off his face. History at the World Cup final 8 years ago is repeated once again. The French has got to be Brazil's no.1 enemy now.
• And thats it for both matches. It is sad that England got knocked out and my prediction proved wrong. Christiano Ronaldo is bound to get it the next time he steps into the Man U pitch for training, and when he goes into the shower room with his Man U team mates, he better watch out.
• Surprisingly, I predicted correctly that France would win. Haha. Interesting.

Italians cooks up Ukraine

Score from Hamburg: Italy 3 - 0 Ukraine. And another correct prediction! Didn't watch the match, but wow, what a scoreline. Just like what Brazil did to Ghana in the last 16 round. But really, Ukraine was against a team much better than they are, and it is no wonder this happen. Its ok though, the experience counts. Ukraine shouldn't be too bitter about this and be glad they even got into the quarter finals, unlike Singapore which can't even get into the World Cup. So in semi-finals we have Germany vs Italy. Tonight will be a big one. England vs Portugal and Brazil vs France. I will take England, of coz. All the way for England, no reasons for their winning coz I just like them. Brazil and France... I will play abit and take France. Lol, don't forget Brazil was beaten by the French before. And considering what Ghana did with Brazil, I think France could do alot better.

Back from 'Live' Germany Argentina Match

And this is Don reporting from his computer after watching the match between host Germany and Argentina. So who won? Of course is Jermani! Germany I mean. Like I said in my previous post, "Germany with their Panzers and Howitzers" will win. And so they did! But not easily. 0 - 0 was the score at half time, then Argentina scored and lead by 1 goal! Germany nearly went nuts and a riot was brewing outside the stadium (I think). Then after about half an hour, Germany equalised to get back into the game! The score 1 - 1 stuck through the normal game play, then continued into extra time, then into penalty shoot-outs. Germany scored all 4 penalties while Argentina got only 2, making Germany win on penalties with the score 4 -2. One thing to note though, people at the place where I was seem to hate Ballack as when he was taking his penalty, people at the place where I was were jeering and cursing him to miss his penalty, but of course he didn't. Anyway, so the 1st to go through to the semi-finals is host Germany. In about 20 minutes, battle between Italy and Ukraine will happen. I say the italians have a good chance in winning this one, although both countries were part of the Axis in the past (no link). But I am not going to watch that. Need to sleep.

And we are into quarter finals

Top 8 teams are just out of the oven! We have: Germany (host), Argentina, Italy, Ukraine, England, Portugal, Brazil, France. Needless to say, this is probably one of the most exciting line up. All teams are neck to neck with each other and theres no saying for sure who will win. Germany and Argentina is the first to clash and really, it is going to be a close fight. Germany is the host, and in history, has a higher placing than South Americans Argentina. Germany has won the world cup 3 times in history but Argentina only won one pathetic time. One thing to note though, Germany and Argentina met twice in the final of world cup and each team won once each. In 1986, Argentina won 3-2 against Germany to claim their one and only world cup trophy in Mexico. After that, in 1990, Germany beat Argentina 1 - 0 to get their last of the 3 world cup trophies as of yet. And the last time Germany met Argentina, that was in last year, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Both teams also prove to be very fantastic with their results in this year's world cup. Germany won all 4 matches as of yet while Argentina won 3 matches and drew 1. Both sides are good. But my take on this, Germany with their Howitzers and Panzers.

Brazil 3 - 0 Ghana

And thats the score from the 2nd round of the World Cup finals. Very impressive match from what I watch minutes ago. Both teams did very well I must say. Yes, Ghana lost to Brazil by quite a margin, but they did well. I must say Ghana did the best they could, nearly scoring goals against Brazil a couple of times. And despite being down 3 - 0, they never gave up even into the last minute. They fought on, on and on and on. They did their best and they knew it. None of them were bitter about the results. They shook hands, there were no fights (unlike the Europeans), and smiles were all over the game. Great game. The results does not matter, they did what they could and that does it. World Cup is a festival of football and this is the way to play it. Bravo, Africa is proud of Ghana.

Italy Beats Australia

• I am no fan of either team, but I watched the match between the Italian Chefs and the Australian Roos last night. And I must say, the way it ended was pathetic. A goalless 90 minutes, and just when we all thought it was going into a bonus 30 minutes for everybody, a penalty was awarded to the Chefs. 5 seconds before the 3 minutes injury time is up, the whistle blows. Not for ending the 90 minutes, but for a penalty to the blues. And my word, it was a not a good decision by the referee. The italian obviously dived over the australian body. Italian fella should have been yellow carded for play acting instead. But the referee pointed to the spot in the box! Oh man, as the commentator said, it was the point whereby "the australian hearts broke." So sad. It is such a crucial time and the ref making such a stupid mistake. It was just too harsh from the referee. The aussie defender was helpless and had his back facing the italian! He could not move out of the position! Why did he slide? He was running and momentum brought him down. Italian fella could have just jumped over him but he chose to run right into the defender and trip over the body. Argh, bad decision.
• Right now, I am watching Brazil play Ghana. And Ronaldo already scored a goal for Brazil 5 minutes into the game. Game still going on... hoho.

A Day At CMPB

• Today is the day of my medical examination to test whether I am operationally fit for NS (National Service). This examination will determine which PES (Physical Employment Standards) I am in. PES will classify whether I am combat fit or not, so as to determine which vocation I will be allocated to. PES ranges from A (being fit for all operational vocations) to F (medically unfit for any form of service, probably paralysed or something).
• So my day starts with meeting Alvin at the Queensway MRT station to go CMPB. Took the 195 bus but wasn't sure which stop to alight, thus ended up missing the CMPB stop. Never mind. So we stepped into CMPB after some security checks. Saw Weihong who is working at CMPB when we passed the canteen. When we stepped into the building, we went to the counter and told the guy there that we were here for a medical examination. Yup, so we handed him our letters and ICs. Next we were asked to go to the photo studio.
• Dang, the moment I stepped in, a very unfriendly guy told us to put our bag downs and put on uniforms. I was abit shocked but then realised that this is the result of army life. So i put on this tight fitting green uniform (yes i looked old in it) and had my photo taken. With us were a few guys here for medical exam as well.
• Then we were asked to go the medical screening area. Went to the counter and the lady did not even bother to look at us. "Read the instructions", that was all she said. So according to the instructions, I handed in my IC, my blood donor's card (to show proof of my blood type so they won't take it again), the medical questionnaire I filled in. Then I was asked to take a seat, and watch television.
• "Ang Meng Hui", that was me. I moved along to station 5 as instructed. In this place, they tested my hearing capabilities. I wasn't prepared for this. I was told to read instructions again and I did. I was shoved into a sound proof room and put on this head phones. Supposedly, if I hear a very soft tone coming from the left side, I would raise my left hand, and if it comes from the right, my right hand. The tone super soft and is just next to silence. Thank God I wasn't that deaf. On my sheet, I was given PES A for audio, cool.
• Then I was sent to station 4. Here, they tested me on my sight. Well, the usual "read the word off the wall" test. But the instructions wasn't clear so I kept reading from the wrong rows. Lol. How pathetic. The guy asked me if I had any eye problems and I said myopia, but he said it ain't a problem. Really? Well, even the short sighted me got a PES A for this test, impressed.
• Next up, room 3. X-ray station. I waited outside the room for some time and then was called in with a whole group of other guys. Once inside the room, we were all told to take off our tops and ya, so our tops went off. Freak, I was the last in the row so I had to stand super long topless in the aircon room. Inside the room, there were articles showing that x-ray is not harmful to the body, hm. After the taking the X-ray, I wore my top and went off, to station 2. No PES for this one.
• Station 2 is dental. Checks my teeth and all. I hate dentists the most, thanks to the monster nurse in my primary school and her clipboard with recycled paper. But this one is ok. The moment I stepped in, the people inside asked me if I was religious coz I wore a cross on my neck, so I said ya... Then I was introduced to them and their churches and all. Turns out to be very friendly brothers in Christ, amen! Dental check up done and I got PES A for it, cool.
• Then comes station 1. I stepped in and was handed a bottle and a stick. I was clueless as to what this was for. That guy told me to go into the toilet and read the instructions (again). So I go in and was instructed to pee into the bottle and put the stick in it. Crap, I wasn't even urgent la! So I took awhile then i pee-ed into the bottle, put the stick in, poured out the contents then went out to show the fella the stick. Was supposed to have a blood test, but I was exempted after the guy saw that I declared to be G6PD deficient. So I was given a piece of paper telling that I can't take some drugs and some nuts and all. Am supposed to give this paper to my sergeant(whoever he is) on my enlistment day at Tekong. So, ya.
• After this, went to station 6. Again, I am asked to strip down everything but my shorts. So many people were in the waiting area with nothing but shorts on. Then I went to the ECG room after hanging around the area not knowing what to do.
• In the ECG room, they placed weird devices on my body to test electrical currents coming from my heart (?). No idea what for. And for some reason, the officer had problems putting the device on me. Weird. And I was given a "abnormal right axis..." result. Crap, abnormal heart? No way...
• Then I went to take my height and weight. That was simple. After that I went to take my blood pressure at a self-service measuring machine. The guy for that station was surfing the net la! Aiyo. So I hit the buttons myself and took my blood pressure, and showed the results to the net surfer.
• Next I went into a room called "Alpha, A". Consultation, where all your secrets leaked. The moment I went in, the guy told me to drop my shorts and underwear. I was taken back for a moment but did as told. Then I pulled them up again and went to sit down. Showed the doc my file and he saw my "abnormal heart" thing so he asked me to stand up and took my heart beat. He never said a thing. Then he gave me an overall PES B coz of my G6PD deficiency. How sad.
• PES B qualifies me for most operational vocations.
• Then I went to another room and registered at some board and was told to read the instructions (again!). So I did. Then I waited very long and took what I remember to be "MAPHAS" or "MAFAAS" or "MAFFAS" test. It is supposed to test my mental capabilities. Man, this test is tough! I was tested in the range of patterns, numbers, algebra, arithmetics, physics, my opinions, my reaction time, my memory etc... I couldn't complete all of them in time as there was a time limit. Crap.
• Then I went to the exit counter, handed in my pink form and was given another file. Inside was "Secrets of passing your IPPT & NAPFA" and "Recruit's Handbook, A Guide Through Basic Military Training"
• Ah, so welcome, Recruit M H Ang.

England Through

England just qualified for the quarter finals of the world cup!! And so did Germany, Argentina, and Portugal. In the last world cup, England also went through to the quarter finals with the top 8 teams, but to be beaten by Brazil in that super free kick from Ronaldhino which killed David Seaman. This year, England goes through to the quarter with yet another super free kick from David Beckham, meeting Portugal in the quarter finals. England vs Portugal, this is getting more and more exciting...

World Cup 2006

• Its that time of the 4 years. Its world cup time and its taking the world by storm. Ah, crap. Well, really, world cup is whats hot this June and July. And I am feeling the heat already! Bah, what studies, lets leave that for awhile... haha, no way, studies in the day, and world cup at night, woo hoo! Now don't tell me I don't have the energy... I know what I am doing.
• Lets start off with the team I am rooting for. England. No, they are not fantastic. They are not as show-off as Brazil. They only won the World Cup once through the Queen's intervention. But they are still a team I support. Hey hey, I got an England ball (courtesy of Mr Brighto) and an England wrist band. That makes me a fan, ok! Why do I support England? Coz their flag bears the holy cross... ah, I think theres more to that. Not quite sure though... but you don't need a reason to support a team, right? So lets get on with it. :)
• Hey hey, England's not doing too bad here, ya see. Top in the group with Sweden, Trinidad and Paraguay. Not bad not bad. This means they won't have to meet Germany in the next round. Not that they don't stand a chance against Germany, but well, just not yet. But poor Owen injured himself. How sad. And Rooney was throwing his temper like a kid when he was substituted out... they still pulled off a draw. Good one.
• Lets see, many of my friends are rooting for Brazil... I mean, COME ON, obviously they will do that. Brazil won the last world cup for goodness sake. They got the stuff in there. Ronaldhino swings his leg like a dancer. Ronaldo's gone a lil fat and slow but who cares. Kaka is up and rising. OF COZ everybody will support them. Why not? Everybody wants to support a winning team. Everybody likes to don the jersey of a winning team. Why not? I don't blame them... unless... there is an upset... hehehe...
• I have a friend who is a die-hard supporter of Portugal. To this friend of mine, I still remember. Check it out, Figo said he was gonna retire during the Euro 2004 but he's still here. Guess you must be very happy now. Dunno whether you are reading this or not, but who cares. I just write. Portugal's not doing badly too. Came up top in group D as well, winning all matches as of yet. Bravo indeed. But may the best team win :)
• But really, no matter which team you support, let us all have good sportsmanship, or "fanmanship". No matter which team scores a goal, lets cheer. No matter which team wins the world cup, lets cheer. The ball is round and many things can happen. So, may the best country win it all ;)

Lord...

Dear Lord, be with me now. In this darkest of hours, in this time of need. Lord, give me the strength and the wisdom to pull through this time. Let your hand be upon me, that I may be able to have the strength and abilities to excel in this time of tests and exams. Lord, if by your grace and strength, I come back with success, let your name be exalted. Let your name be glorified. That all may know that it is only by you that I have been able to excel. That it is only by your strength that I have been able to pull through. Lord, this prayer I pray not only for myself. I pray for all whom I am close to, for all to have come to me in this time for prayers. I pray, for Bright, for Vip, for Stanley and for all the people taking exams. Lord, bless them that they may know that prayers work. That you are the true and the living God. That they may come to know you one day. Lord, uphold us in this time of need. Bless us with abundant knowledge and wisdom. Bless us with strength to carry on. Lord, I thank you for upholding me all this time. Let your blessings befall on us once again. In Jesus name, amen.

Friends

TWO friends appeared on my mind today: Rebecca Tan and Zihao. We used to be close friends. Really good friends. Yet, for reasons that I do not know of, our relationship starts to collapse. We no longer talk to each other. No phone calls, no message, no meet ups. It is sad. I really like my friends. I sure hope that we can be friends again. It will not be easy, but its surely more than worth a try. I surely hope no other friends will leave my side.

Dear Mr Da Vinci.... its not your fault, really

• Many people have been coded by what is known as the "Da Vinci Code". But really, the code does not come from Da Vinci himself, it comes from some author called Dan Brown. For the benefits of the masses, 'The Da Vinci Code' is a book written by Dan Brown. Please do note that it is a story book, a fictional tale.
• A big controversy that the book states is the claim that Mary Magdelene was sitting beside Jesus at the last supper. Apparently Dan Brown was looking at the painting "The Last Supper" by Da Vinci and decided that John looked rather feminine, so he said that was Mary. Let me clear this up, really.
• First of all, can I note that Da Vinci drew "The Last Supper" purely based on inspiration and research on other last suppers drawn by other artists.Da Vinci was not there at the last supper with Jesus, neither did God send him a picture of the last supper. It was a fictional work in itself, open to interpretations like the one Mr Dan Brown did.
• There is only 1 true account to the last supper: The Bible. In all the 4 gospels, the last supper was described to be shared amoung Jesus and his 12 apostles. There really is no other interpretations for this one unless you start arguing who the 12 apostles are, and I am sure Mary Magdelene is not one of them.
• Yes, that guy in the painting look feminine, he looks like a girl. But for goodness sake, it is only a painting. I say just get over it. Besides, during Da Vinci's time, men are drawn to be graceful and pretty feminine, the only thing that seperates men from women were probably the facial hair. Maybe Da Vinci just forgot to add some hair...
• My point is, please get over it. "The Da Vinci Code" is only a story book, just read it for the mystery and get over it. You don't take Gulliver's Travels and decide that there really is a land of small people, a land of horses etc... I believe no one reads "Three Little Pigs" and thinks that there really are three little talking pigs building houses somewhere in the world, and a wolf that can blow houses down in a breath. No. So please.
• J U S T G E T O V E R I T

Mirrors

• I look into the mirror and I see a not so impressive looking young man... I think to myself "Ah, its just the mirror, it sucks". Happened to many of us, isn't it? We blame it on the angle, the shape of the mirror, the size of the mirror, colour of the mirror, brightness, time of the day, anything but ourselves. Kinda makes me laugh when I recall myself doing that. But really, we want to think of ourselves as good looking don't we? Come on, we all do, don't try to tell yourself you are humble again...
• Might not be mirrors, happens alot to the photographs we take too. Don't we all have the experience whereby a friend takes a photograph of us or we take one ourself, and if its a digital camera and the photograph tend to show a rather 'not so impressive' us, we will scream 1st thing - "DELETE!!!!"
• True, many people must be laughing at themselves right now for doing such things. But whats more true is this fact that we just cannot accept an ugly side of us. You name it, "Bad hair day", "Wardrobe malfunctions", all the excuses for us not looking good. We make sure we look good everywhere we go, wear nice clothes, do up our hair, for some people they put make up. And its quite surprising that sometimes we cannot even recognize ourselves! No wonder some people proclaim "hey, you look so different without make up!" Ya... some people look different.
• But really, we should accept ourselves for who we are. Don't try to run away from our ugliness. We are all imperfect, so come on, a pimple outbreak won't kill you, don't start screaming over a few red dots on your seemingly perfect face. But of course its always good to look nice. You know, make sure your hair isn't all messed up, that you shaved your face, that you are wearing decently. Its ok. Just don't stand in front of the mirror for 3 hours trying to cover all the imperfections on your face with some powder, or stay in your room trying on every single piece of garment you can find in your wardrobe for another 3 hours. Seriously, not many people will notice that belt you are wearing or the colour socks you have to match your shoe.
• So next time you walk by a mirror and it doesn't show that you are too pretty, just accept it. "Well, thats me on the ugly side" Really, different angles from the mirror shows different sides of us. Some angles really show us to be very very good looking, but we can't see life from only one angle, can we?

A Big Happy Mother's Day for all our Big Mothers with Big Hearts!!!!

• NO doubt it is already over, I must still wish all mother's in this world a very Happy Mother's Day. So how did you spend your mother's day? Of course the most ideal way is to spend it with your mum, bring her out for a very special dinner, give her presents and hugs and all. I am glad if you did that. Not what happened to me though. 14th May 2006 was spent at church, after that going home to slog myself over homework which I have not completed.
• In fact, thats not my main point (haha). I need to tell everybody about mothers. Hey, everybody has a mother so don't tell me to buzz off or what. Your mother might be evil to you, dead, sick, paralysed, indifferent, a stepmother, or just a normal mother, she is STILL your mother for goodness sake. As long as you stayed in her body for nine months or even shorter, she is your mother. So take it. You got a mother, theres no denying it.
• I believe mothers are the best people in the world, to their children at least. Motherhood starts from the 1st day our dad's sperm infuses with our mum's egg. Thats when we were 1st created! Hey hey, nobody might be able to see us coz we are so pathetically small but we are there! In that chamber called a womb. And for the next nine months we will grow in this womb, while our mother will be holding us, ensuring that we are protected, that we are developing well in the womb. It is tough OK! No joke, it is very difficult. And ALL of us came out from that nine months camp in the womb. So aren't our mothers great or what.
• Mothers are willing to sacrifice everything they have just to make their children happy. Ok ok, I know many people will start throwing stones at me coz they will say that this is untrue. Even if this is untrue for everybody else, I must hold that this is true to me. Sorry all, but I feel that my mum is the best (muaahhahaahah). Since my birth, my mum has been taking care of me. And almost everytime I want something, she will always try her best to give it to me. I might not say it out but I really feel very grateful for this. Many times I might have hurt my mum with my words and all, but she still loves me nonetheless, hey man, that ain't easy. Try to constantly sacrifice for someone who don't even appreciate it. The feeling SUCKS man! And to think that my mum did it for 18 years. Bravo!
• Still remember one day when I was down with a fever. I was 16 I suppose. I could have easily went to see a doctor myself, but instead I called my mum to tell her that I got a fever. Without a moment's doubt, she went down from the coffeeshop to bring me to a doctor. I tell you I really appreciated that but of course I didn't say it out loud. I mean who would? We always keep these things in our hearts right?
• Lol, but who will know it if we keep holding these things in our hearts? How will our mother know that we truly appreciate them for all that they have done? Thats why we have Mother's Day dude. Learn to appreciate your mum fully on this day ok? Its only 1 day out of 365 days in a year. Come on! Be a little generous. Clean the dishes, pack your room, do your household chores. Give your mum a break. Buy her a good meal, get her a nice present. I tell you, these things you do are nothing compared to what your mum has done for you, but such things will no doubt make your mother very happy! All mums need is to have her children appreciate what they have done. Thats all.
• To all the people who might not be as blessed as others with a good mum who will take care of them very well, please don't start picking up stones to throw at me. I have good news to share with all of you. There is someone who loves you equally much and is willing to sacrifice himself for you as well. And that person is none other than God. God loves all of us unconditionally. You don't have to be rich to get God's love, don't have to be handsome, don't have to be smart, don't have to be popular. God loves you for who you are.
• One thing that is even more incredible than what mothers do, God has loved you even before you existed on the face of this Earth. Before your dad's sperm meets your mum's egg, God already knew you and He loved you with all His heart! He knew you were gonna sin so He prepared a path for you by sending Jesus to take our sins 2000 years ago! All this done so that you can be close to Him!
• Even right now, God is still looking after you even if you had not acknowleged him. Why? Because God's love is unconditional. He loves you no matter what you have done. He loves the sinners, but He hates the sins. Thats why we all needed someone as big as Jesus to take our sins for us. This is done so that we can go to God clear of our sins.
• Sad thing is many people choose not to believe that this is true. They continue on with their life thinking that no one cares for them. This caused them to be depressed for their whole life and lead a very sad life!
• Hey man, life is tough, isn't it only better to have God on your side? God is always there to help you, and He's only a prayer away. Even faster than all the emergency hotlines that you can find. This prayer will reach God in an instant, even faster than the speed of light at 299,792.458 km/s! Ok that is fast right. No doubt.
• So like all emergency hotlines, there will be no response if there is no call in the 1st place. What to do? Call! Call out to God and I am sure he will respond because He loves you. Your mother might not care but God cares. Your mother might care but God cares even more! Muahahaahah! Happy Mother's Day to all!

Welcome back, Don! + A short post on exams

A big welcome to our writer, editor, publisher, Don!!! Ah, thats just me saying welcome to myself... well! After a long break from blogging, I guess I am back to the business. Lets see... how long has it been, a few months I suppose. Many things happened in these few months no doubt, and I am blogging from a different computer and in a different room than in the last post! Yes yes, I am blogging right now from my OWN computer :) and in my OWN room. This = total freedom of both time and space. The ability to blog at any time of the day! Ahh... as I am typing this, I am suffering from the aftereffects of a frostbite I got earlier. Jeez, they really bite. Ok, getting on with the post of the day.

Ya know, I had a test yesterday morning (16 hours ago) and I realised many things that seems to run in a trend in all tests I take. Oh yeah, on a side note, I was realising all these things as my mind was pretty blank when the questions hit me. So yes, one single trend: People who seems as though they are sick always exists in the exam hall. Either they fell sick while studying so hard for their papers, or they find that the exam hall is too cold, or they are just trying the make the silent exam hall a little less quiet. Whatever the reason, I realised that people always SNEEZE, BLOW THEIR NOSES, COUGH, COUGH CONTINUOUSLY, CLEAR THEIR THROATS. The above mentioned are things that you will SURELY find when you are doing your papers, especially in junior college. I've even seen cases whereby people seemed as if they were about to puke or something, clutching to their chest and all. This is crazy, is the exam hall so stressful that people start falling sick the moment they step into it and then recover again after they get out? I don't know. Leave that to you to figure then.

I said it was going to be a short post, so it is :)

IMM: I, Me, Myself

"Hey, its my turn!", "May you excuse me?", "I wanna see this!"... well, these 3 phrases are extremely familiar, and many a times, it comes from our mouth. Yes, I admit that I always say this. All of us uses these phrases. But does it mean that we are selfish? No, I didn't even mention the word selfish untill now. In fact, many of us are just "ALL ABOUT OURSELVES".
You see, almost everybody thinks that this world revolves around them. They tend to think that people will notice them wherever they go. When they get on the train, they think that everybody is noticing them. Well, I am not blaming anybody here, it is just our nature to think this way. We are created this way. No choice.
Let me give some examples. When you go out with a friend, and have a very very wonderful day of activites, do you go home, go online, and then go to your friend's blog and check if he/she has written about the day, and in particular, about you? Lol, no need to answer, I can expect pretty much "Yes" here. You see, this proves that we really pay alot of attention to what others think of us. When we hear people talking about us, we really want to know what they talk about. We want people to think highly of us. This is alright, its great to think this way, but we need to be careful here.
IF we are not careful, we might fall into the trap of wearing masks. We are start having 2 personalities, 2 lifestyles, double standard living. One is the wonderful self that you put up front for people to see and blog about, and the other is the true you that hides in your room.
It is best if we really show our true personality to other people. If everybody starts acting to be Mr.Nice Guy in front of everybody, it would be disastrous. Everybody will be the same! The true you is still the best. Yes, flaws here and there, but its alright. We are created with imperfections, nobody is perfect. Ok, don't give me your "Nobody is perfect, I am nobody, thats why I am perfect". Thats crap. That is totally stupid. You know what we should do, we should just accept our imperfections and just improve on these flaws. We shouldn't try to twist words and try to make ourselves look like we are perfect. Keep on improving ourselves and we might just be near to perfect, not perfect. In fact, all of us has a different definition of perfection, so I don't think perfection is something that can be applied to anybody.
And oh, sorry couldn't blog these few days as the modem isn't really happy. But anyway, wish all a merry christmas =)

Santa Claus Science?

Came by this article from a science magazine. Santa Claus true or false? You decide.

1. No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
2. According to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second.This is to say that for each household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but for the purposes of our calculations, we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest manmade vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second--a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload--not even counting the weight of the sleigh--to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison, this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
5. 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centripetal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion--If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

Fear

Its a fear I cannot understand. A fear I never had before. The fear of being reckless, fear of being daring. Yes, I am bounded, chained by a fear I never used to have. Its been 5 days since I got my bicycle back and trust me, I have been cycling for these 5 days. However, something is very different from the past. Now, theres a fear that wraps around me, causing me to be extremely careful. This extra attention that I give to the traffic. The slow speed that I move at on the pedestrian walkway. I know where this fear comes from. I suppose its what they call post accident trauma. Being knocked down by a car and losing a bike has certainly inserted a safety measure in me. This safety measure made me fear traffic, fear the road, fear speed. For these 5 days that I was on wheels, I hardly hit the road. Most of the time I would just cruise my way around on pedestrian walkways. I am afraid of the road. I am afraid of cars knocking me down. Even on the walkways, I cycle very slowly. Its very hard for me to go into gear 8, or even 7. I am afraid of knocking people down, I am afraid of falling. The guts that used to be with me when I cycle is gone. I feel rather lost, not knowing where to go. I do not know whether this is a good thing or not. Some might say this is good, that I pay so much care and attention to my own safety, but I don't know. I really want my guts back. I want to speed on the roads with no fear again. I want to ride down hills. I want to go off road. I want to be the biker I used to be. I want my guts back. Take away this fear from me. Release me from the bondage of trauma, break the chains of fear that lock me down.

Hotwheels!!!!

YES! Finally after about 8 months of waiting, the bike can hit the roads again! Yep, I have finally completed the bike restoration programme and the bike is now fully functional. For all of you who don't know, my cycle was rendered disfunctional about 8 months ago due a pathetic car accident. For 8 months, the bike laid motionless in my room. The bike restoration plan was started during late October this year. The plan was to, of course, restore the bike to back to functioning condition. It is not a simple task. I started out by going around many different bike shops and going online to look for good deals and compare different prices. All this took about a month to finish. Finally I caught a very fantastic deal online and brought my bike down to the shop to fix. I would not provide the details but the deal was really quite a bargain. The bargaining and negotiations took about 5 days to complete as there many parts of the bike to be discussed. Finally, on 21st November 2005, I brought my bike down to this nice shop to be fixed. The repair process took one day to complete. On 22nd November 2005, which is also my sister's birthday (for more information about this can go to my sister's blog at http://neverperfect-.blogspot.com), the bike was delivered to my house. Fully functional bike. Some new parts are: Giant Yukon Disc frame, disc brakes, new rims, front derailer, gear shifters and brake levers. With my fixed bike, I immediately sped off to my friend's house. Ah, I totally forgot I had to stay home to cut cake with my family! Sorry sis! When my mum called me, it was quite late already. I had half an hour to rush home but my mum wouldn't allow it. She was worried enough since the car accident so of course she wouldn't allow me to speed home. So, I just spent the midnight cycling around Bukit Gombak neighbourhood then stayed at my friend's home to watch Man U play Villareal. After that, we cycled for lunch then went home. And thats that. Reached home and I started blogging... typing this post and posting it...

Shopping, Not My Favourite Past Time

Imagine walking and walking and walking, at your left and right side are temptations that aim to rip a hole off your wallet. You continue walking with no aim at all, just walking and throwing yourself into temptation of spending money like nobody's business... Thats a situation I don't like to be in. And more than often, I find myself in this situation. Yes, you have no choice but to go shopping when you are out with girls. My sister in particular is one person who so loves shopping that she can spend hours walking around a 1km by 1km compound. No kidding. Wait, don't get me wrong. I still likes to go down to orchard road to buy stuff, but not shopping. I don't like the idea of walking around an area with no real intention or aim, looking at items through a glass panel and not really able to afford it. No. I like to go shopping when I have the cash, when I know what I want and when I see it, I will buy it. Just recently I went shopping with my sis and some other friends. It was quite an experience. I would just follow them and they would go into almost every single shop that they see, and I will just stand outside waiting. Occasionally I will hear someone ask me, "Nice?" I will just take a look and give a short comment. This can go on for hours, around the same compound, into and out of same shops. Sure is some good leg exercise. Some tips for guys out there though. Don't ever complain outwardly to your female shopping companion that you are tired or bored, just keep it to yourself and hope that they will end their shopping trip fast. If you really can't take it anymore, suggest to go for a meal or a break. If the girls ask you for comment, give your comment. Don't try to act cool by acting indifferent. Don't give false comments coz you won't want people to waste their money buying ugly things. When shopping with girls, just stand behind and follow them, don't ask why, just follow. Don't try to get a seat at any opportunity you get, it will only create a bad impression of yourself. And lastly, if you agree to go shopping with them, go shopping with them. Don't try to excuse yourself or leave halfway no matter how boring or tiring it may be. Be a gentleman for goodness sake.

Horrible Horrible Horrible Not So Horrible Afterall

I promised I will update... and ar, forget it. I am not here because I promised so, I am here because I really feel so... argh, frustrated. Let me tell you about it. My computer, which is I think 6 years or even older, is not as obedient already. Just last wednesday, it decides to break down. Well, I did my best to revive it but to no avail. So ya, I had to call the repairman down to fix it up. Sure, fixed an appointment. Well, I felt bored so I tried to mess with the com again. That piece of chips + wire + metal then decides to work again! My goodness. I was glad and shocked at the same time. Must be God's miracle. Thank God. So well, I had to call off the appointment. That repairman named Mike sounded disappointed (one business gone). Haha, so I am real glad that crap worked again. So I was playing happily when... dang, the modem started giving me problems. It just won't recgonize the stupid cable. Pathetic. Ok, I am no expert in cable so I had to call the technicians from Starhub down. Fixed an appointment for Saturday. So saturday came and I waited. Felt bored so I went to mess with the com again. You all can guess it. The internet is up again! Glad and shocked and I don't know what to do. That guy must be on his way. And yes he is. Technician guy called me and told me he is on his way. I told him internet is up already so he don't have to come down. Technician guy sounded glad and say ok. Ya, so thats it, pathetic computer back to working order with no external help, no even help from me. Thank God. Well, all I did was format the com... and ARGH! This is my second frustration. I lost so many files in the com that I can just go and bang my head on the wall already. All my project work, my literature, school research... and even my saved game files... especially my saved game files... especially the Need For Speed Underground saved game file! All the 111 races that I completed and all the cars that I modified and designed myself... all formatted... Right, smart move Meng Hui. I didn't even have a backup copy. I searched high and low for a backup copy but no, no backup copy!!!! Argh, I don't want to replay that game anymore, I'll just play other game... nah, I'll just get my bike fixed and go cycling. Haha! Yes! My bike is getting fixed soon! I am so glad! Finally, after months without getting those wheels on the road, I can finally hit the streets again!! Woohoo! Gladness overwhelms me and I can't even go to sleep with the excitement knowing that my biking days are coming back again... HEEHEE........:)

An Update (Obviously), About My Exams Results

Recently, I recieved complains that I did not update my little blog. Well, so here goes, an update or a new post, whatever you want to call it. Hey, did I tell you that I finished my exams already? Of course I did. But I didn't tell you the results right? Well, here goes. I PASSED! Yeah, that is really fantastic. At first when I had the setback in my economics paper, I really though I had no hope. There goes one subject. I only had geography and literature to push me to J2. Literature was definitely not my forte and you need 2 'A' Level passes and 1 'AO' Level pass to get into J2. I was desperate, but well, what can I do. Did the exams and prayed all thing would go well. When I got the results, I was overwhelmed with joy. Literature got me really fantastic results. That was unbelievable, thank God. Geography was pretty cool, and economics was not as bad as I expected. General paper was pretty cool. So the results on my result sheet (which is the combination of CA and Promotional Exams marks) are Economics (A): E, Geography (A): D, Literature (A): D, General Paper (AO): C5, Chinese AO: B3. That means 3 'A' Level passes and 2 'AO' Level passes! That also mean that I passed everything that I studied for! Praise the Lord! Of course it isn't the best of the results I could get but I am already very happy with this. Indeed I will have buck up through my J2 years in order to get a good enough results to go through to university. Well, an update, and I will update more frequently, no problem.

All In A Nutshell

Hey hey, been some time since my last post. Well, it always have to pass some time before I even post, but, I have just so much to say this time! I've been wanting to post some thoughts of mine so many times for the past week but just could not find the time to! It had been a pretty hectic period of time for me. Since 2 weeks ago I had been wanting to write something. That was the time my promotional exams ended and, darn, many things sure happened. I had one of the most major setbacks ever in examinations. I believe complacency caught up with me and I did not read the instructions for my 1st paper, the economics essay paper. Instead of the required 3 questions, I chose only 1 question and spent all my time on that 1 question. This caused me to lose 50 marks out of 75 for nothing. It was a hard blow for me as economics was one of my most confident paper. But I recieved much encouragement and was able to move on and finish all my paper. The exam week was 1 week of intensive continuous examinations. I was extremely stressed out due to the bad start but was still able to pull through. And after the last paper, I quietly took out a little choclate bar from my pencil case and congragulated myself... but only to find out there was still more work to do! Well, at least exams are over. But but but... there is still project work! Had hours of meeting and all even after the paper... well, then we were free! Wahahah. Enjoyed and destress the following monday at the southern island of Sentosa. Didn't get too tan though, the sun is acting weird nowadays... And after the monday... I don't want to say it but... its school again. Hours and hours of project work... and this sort of project work life just went on and on and on... and now... we are still doing project work -_-" Haiz, my CCA was announced to be closed down yesterday. The Humanities Club (which I am in) had our last meeting yesterday. Did nothing much but to give farewell speeches. Felt kinda nostalgic during the meeting, we did spend some quality time with each other anyway. I just can't wait for my results. They are going to be released next monday. I wonder if I can make it through to year 2. I really pray that everybody in the class will make it. Don't want to see anybody being held back. Don't want to see anyone leave the class. Especially all my friends. Without even a single one of them, the class wouldn't be what it is. Can't think of what it will be like if anyone should leave... the class is small enough, wonder if we will be rebanded if anyone should leave. Well then, I shall end on this note I guess. Not the best of endings I guess but its just everything over the past 3 weeks in a nutshell...

Christianity: The Whys And Hows

I am a christian. I am not ashamed to tell everyone this. In fact, I am going to shout this out and make sure everyone knows that I am follower Jesus Christ my Lord. The thing is, many people will start asking me questions like "Why do you believe in Christ?" and "Why should I believe in Christ?" First things first. Why do I believe in Christ? It is very simple. I believe in Christ simply because I know that He is the only God in the world and that He can deliver what He promises! Maybe some people might ask how do I know this. I'll tell you. I have seen miracles happen. I have seen promises delivered. And I can just feel His very presence. Jesus has certainly done a miracle in my life. Not just one miracle, miracles. I'll just take the favourite "Car accident" for example. I really don't believe that my body is that strong to take a knock from a big piece of metal that is travelling at 60km/hr. The only explanation I can give is that I was saved by God. Well, well, enough of why I believe in Jesus, lets see why YOU should believe in Jesus. Ok, let me tell you that Jesus LOVES YOU. Now don't tell me things like "How can He love me? He don't even know me yet!" Nah, Jesus already know you! He knows your name and everything you know about yourself and even more! He knows you even before you were born and He loves you even while you are in your mother's womb! In fact, He even died for you so that the sins that you commit can be pardoned! You know that sins brings you to hell don't you? But what you should know is that Jesus is here to remove these sins so that you won't have to go to hell! Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Yes, that is why you should believe in Jesus Christ! Ok, so are you ready to know how to be saved by Jesus Christ and pardoned from your sins? Here goes! Just believe in Him! Yes, its that simple! Have faith and believe in Jesus, know that He loves you and that He gave His life for you. John 3:16 "For God so loves the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Know this then take step number 2. Come to church! Just come and look for me and I will bring to church! After that, your steps to salvation will be go on and you can be like me, saved through Jesus Christ!

Mr.Accident-Prone

Thats what I have been called since a few months ago, and I couldn't agree less. Mr. Accident-Prone, or the Accident-Prone Man, they mean the same thing. That is, I am someone who is very very prone to accident. Actually I didn't really believe it, but when I looked back at the number of accidents I had in just a few months, I was quite shocked. I appear to have already gotten use to these accidents that having one more accident don't matter much to me anymore.
Lets take a look at the last few accidents I got myself involved in.
Well, I believe many of the accidents I encounter had got to do with bicycle. In 2001, my friend's bicycle knocked into mine while we were going downslope at Pulau Ubin and it got really messy. I had a palmful of blood and my friend got his leg badly cut. In 2004, my friends and I went on a cycling trip, while returning back at Kranji, my bicycle hit a protruding rock while we were going downslope (yes, downslope again) and I basically had a somersault with my bike. Got my knee pretty badly grazed there.
Then I got my new bike. This new bike was cool. But it did not prevent many accidents from happening. I got it during the halfway mark of 2004. Took it out for rides and accidents start coming in. Was careful with it at first but started speeding and all as time passed. Then, accidents happen. I was going downslope(YA, its downslope again, again) along a sandy path and my front wheel got locked in a crack in the ground. This sent me flying through the air. Injured my knee and my waist. By that time, I had already learned to wear gloves, so my palms was safe.
Next was at a carpark. I was trying superspeed cycling so I was going real fast around the carpark. Was doing alright untill my cap(Yeap, I was wearing a cap) flew off my head. This gave me a shock and I lost concentration. This caused my lose balance and I went down to the ground at extremely high speed. As a natural reaction, I detached myself from the bike to reduce injuries. The next thing I knew is that my bike went flying straight at a car parked nearby. "BANG!" Chain came off, i injured my elbow and knee. Fixed the bike up and went home.
The next accident I can remember will most probably the car accident I got myself in. Was cycling home when I decide to cross over to the other side of the road. Checked the opposite road but not the one on my side. Was crossing halfway when "BANG!", I got hit and flew through the air. My knee and elbow got injured again. My bike was destroyed.
IT may appear to be "no more bike, no more accident". But not. Accidents continued to occur. Even on foot. It was raining and I decided to run to school to avoid being drenched. Was running and I just slipped. Flew through the air(Yes, even when I run) and landed on concrete and grass. Cut my elbow very badly. Got scarred bad.
So ya, i decide to walk carefully. Nah, accidents won't leave me. I was walking when a speeding bicycle(ya, bicycles again) came at me and bang into me. Bruised my waist.
I thought this would stop, but I even injured my finger while playing sports!
Well, thats what there are untill now. I seriously hope and pray this will stop. Hmph.

The English Language

Just came across this article recently, so I would like to share it with your guys. Enjoy:)
-
The English Language. Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?. Let's face it. English is a crazy language. There is no egg in the eggplant No ham in the hamburger. And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England. French fries were not invented in France. We sometimes take English for granted But if we examine its paradoxes we find that Quicksand takes you down slowly, Boxing rings are square. And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. If writers write, how come fingers don't fing. If the plural of tooth is teeth. Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth, If the teacher taught, Why didn't the preacher praught. If a vegetarian eats vegetables. What the does a humanitarian eat? Why do people recite at a play, Yet play at a recital? Park on driveways and Drive on parkways. You have to marvel at the unique lunacy. Of a language where a house can burn up as it burns down. And in which you fill in a form by filling it out. And a bell is only heard once it goes! English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (Which of course isn't a race at all) That is why when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are invisible, and why it is that when I wind up my watch it starts, but when I wind up this observation, it ends.

Prayer and Prayer and Prayer

Today, lets talk about prayer. To pray, according to the Oxford dictionary means to speak to God or a god in order to give thanks or to ask for something. Prayer is the most powerful thing in the world. With prayer, we can work wonders and miracles by the strength of God. In Christianity, prayer is the most important aspect. It can be said to be the backbone of the faith. This is basically because prayer is the only way we can speak our God Jesus Christ. It is like a telephone that is directly connected to Him and everytime we phone, it will be answered. No prayer will be left unheard. All prayers are heard, no matter by who. Anybody's prayer, be it young or old, male or female, pastor or not pastor, ANYBODY, their prayers will be heard. In the bible, even Jesus Christ our Lord needs to pray regularly, what makes us think that we do not need to pray? 2nd Chronicles 15:2 tells us that "If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you." Prayer is very important as it keeps us close to God. Prayer is sort of like an armour to protect us from doing evil. If we do not pray regularly, trust me, we will fall into doing evil. Matthew 26:41 says "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." Also, in 2nd Chronicles 12:14 "He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD."
As you can see, prayer is so so so important. If we pray, we will enjoy peacefulness from God. This is seen in 2nd Chronicles 14:7 "we sought him and he has given us rest on every side." In fact, in the books of 1st and 2nd Samuel, 1st and 2nd Kings, 1st and 2nd Chronicles, we can see that any king of Israel or Judah that seek the Lord enjoyed peace and victory, but any king that turned from God lose out in one way or another.
We as Christians pray for almost everything under the sun. Some people might think that we are kiasu, but that’s not the case. Thats because we believe that everything under the sun needs a prayer. When people are sick, we pray. When people are taking exams, we also pray. When people are going on a trip, we pray. When we eat, we pray too. Everything needs a prayer. For me, every and night when I wake up or sleep, I will pray. This is so that the day will be successful one.
Just last Monday, on 8/8/2005, my church had a prayer session to pray for the nation of Singapore. Prayer is extremely extremely important.
Sometimes our prayers are answered instantaneously, sometimes God decides to take it slowly. But do not lose patience! Continue praying and it will surely one day be answered! I know of someone whose parents are both unsaved. Every day she would pray for her parents. It is only after what seemed like 10 years before her prayers are answered and her parents came and know Jesus! Let me give you yet another example. The other time I had sports with my friend and we were waiting for a cab home. We were both in an area where the road is extremely busy and no cabs would stop for us. We prayed to God for a cab. Almost instantly, a cab pulled over by our side for a passenger to alight. We thanked God and boarded the cab.
You see, the power of prayer is immeasurable. If you have not started praying, you should start now.
James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

Oh How I Love You Please Don't Run (By Don)

This is a poem by me, an assignment by my literature teacher on the topic of "Love". Just sharing it with you guys.

Oh How I Love You Please Don't Run (By Don)

-

Oh how I love you please don't run

The way you look oh so special

The way you feel oh so tender

Oh how I love you please don't run

-

Oh how I love you please don't run

The softness I feel when I bite

The taste you have and should not hide

Oh how I love you please don't run

-

Oh how I love you please don't run

The milk which oozes as i squeeze

The kind of pleasure I can't bear to leave

Oh how I love you please don't run

-

Oh how I love you please don't run

The sugary sweetness as I lick

The sweetness which comes from your sugar-coated skin

Oh how I love you please don't run

-

Oh how I love you please don't run

I must put you inside of me

I must do so you will not leave me

Oh how I love you my sugar-coated milk bun

Another poem 友情与爱情 by Lee Zihao

友情与爱情 (Lee Zihao)

爱、友 双者从不合

有爱无友，有友无爱

有如太极分明了

一点不容滴两地

矛盾，不了，却无助

舍一不可，留两不得

风沙不起，眼泪直流

真情难找，好友难寻

为何事实不容俩者合？

为何世人不寻梦？

失友，失恋，接连来

伤心，无助，无人问

两勒插刀，情义绵绵，不留在

只留心伤一人日月风雨

泪洗面。。。。。

_____________________________

Translation By Meng Hui

Could love and friends be together

No, they have never conciled ever

They have been ever distinct

Never have they been one thing

Oh, such struggle

Leave one not and keep not the other

My eyes is thus filled with tears

Neither love nor friend is easy, i fear

Why can't both be together?

Will it only be a dream forever?

Losing either will cause agony

Yet i find no help to such misery

Both thus shall not exist

Leaving me thus to weep in this mist...

朋友 (A Friend)

I shall share a poem by Mr Lee Zihao, a friend of mine who studies chinese literature, and also the translations of the poem.

朋友(By Lee Zihao)

人生知己得几人

来去匆匆不留痕

了解我心不容易

志同道合更难依

谁知他在我身处

只是我俩不知熟

我俩生活多处和

道路也是多有同

只有他知我心处

为有他肯听我述

不知不觉友数周

但愿我俩友不瘦

时间也能停于首

可惜我俩住两处

不然就可日谈述

怨天怨地或怨人

谁知事实不容愿

只望老天了我愿

能让我俩永谈远

____________________

A Friend (Translation By Meng Hui)

I walk down the road of life,

Hoping to find someone to call friend.

So many people pass me by,

Yet no one could truly understand.

-">

Little did I realize who was beside.

Someone I have not met or known.

Yet he was one I could confide.

For we have much in common I know.

-">

He was someone who could understand,

To sit down and listen to me he will.

Time, I hope our friendship can withstand,

Or perhaps time should just stand still.

-">

A pity distance separates us both

Or the day could be spent to chat.

To blame who could us both,

For a pity wish was never fact.

-">

Thus I would just pray to heavens above,

That forever this friendship we will love

Create-d

And Create 2005 is over. Create 2005 is an event in the church whereby many talents come together to fight it out for titles in Singing, Drama, Video, Foam Art and Missions Presentation. Much was anticipated for this event and much was shown. It was a neck to neck competition as all the competitors were extremely good, or talented I should say.

An event that spans over 2 weeks on Friday, Create has shown much talent in our church. In the 1st Friday, we were overwhelmed by all the fantastic singing of Vocal Singles and Vocal Group. All contestants really sang their lungs out and we were treated with a concert that really my breath away. Region A swept the 1st and 2nd position for Vocal Singles while Region C held 2nd and Region B 1st for Vocal Group. We were also treated with a video clip of the Foam Art competition that was held in the previous Saturday. Region C again made it to the 2nd postition with their art piece while Region B held champion with a tower of letters.

The 2nd week of Create starts off with Missions Presentation. All region did their best in showing us the needs of the Yishun community and stirred the hearts of everybody to do something for the community of Yishun. Region B got 2nd for touching the hearts of everybody while Region C 1st for putting up a fantastic presentation. We were then brought to a world of drama whereby all 4 regions showed us the life of 4 great men in the bible: Moses, David, Joseph and Abraham. Dramas came in different patterns ranging from musicals, ancient context and modern context. Region D eventually clinched the 2nd spot with their showing of the life of Abraham while Region C managed to get the 1st position with their fantastic musical of Joseph. Also, we were treated with the videos of the different regions advertising Heart.Sports. Region A grabbed the 2nd postition for their exciting video and Region C once again got the 1st position for their well thought out video.

It had been a much fun and exciting Create this year and we can all look forward to what Create 2006 holds for us next year. Untill then, much will happen. For now, its has been Create-d.

The Living God, Finale: The True God Of Promise

Good things come in 3. Blockbuster movies like Lord Of The Rings, The Matrix comes in 3 episodes. And so of cos, my discussion comes in 3 parts.

In this final episode, I want to tell you that my God is one of true promise. The last 2 episodes tells us that God is one who is living, and is living in the past, the present and into the future. And because He is a Living God, He will SURELY be able to deliver all His promises.

The bible speaks of many promises that God had made. In the Old Testament, He promised many people different things, and all these promises were fulfilled, both the good ones and the bad ones. We all know of this man called Abraham. God promised him in Genisis 15:5 "Look up at the heavens and count the stars - if indeed you can count them. So shall your offspring be." And yes we all know that Abraham's offsprings eventually made up to be a nation of Israelites.

Also, theres one thing very interesting. In Genesis 15:13-14 "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possesions." That seems like a very long and detailed promise isn't it? Yes, and God did every single thing He promised. In Exodus, we know that the Israelites indeed were enslaved in Egypt. Then Egypt was punished by the plagues God sent. The Israelites and came out of Egypt and in Exodus 12:36 says "The Lord has made the Egyptians favourably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians." And in Exodus 12:40 says"At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord's divisions left Egypt." Look, everything was done according to what the Lord promised. And 430 years! Thats a very very long time. No one here have ever even lived for 400 years. And yet, after such a long time, The Lord still remembers His promise.

Abraham's story is just but one of many stories about promises that can be found in the bible. But all these stories are not just about promises, its about faith too. Its about faith in the Lord our God. If you have faith in the Lord, the Lord surely will deliver His promises to you! In Genesis 22, we can see that Abraham had great faith in the Lord, and was even willing to sacrifice his one and only son for the Lord! Of cos God stopped him in time as it was only to test his faith, but because for his faith, the Lord has grant him such a fantastic promise!

You see, if you want someone to do something for you, you must believe in the person first right. This means to have faith in the person. If you don't have faith but still ask for something, wouldn't that be not right? This is similar with God. If you want God to help you, you must have faith and believe in Him! Then when you have faith, surely He will help you!

My God is a true God. He sent His son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. He promised us in John 3:16 that if we believe in Him, we shall not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus has used His blood to wash away all our sins, now all we need to do is to believe! Is it too good to be true that people choose not to believe? Yes it is good, and it is true! Have faith! Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and SURELY, He will deliver His promises to you, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

God will deliver His promises as He is the True God, The Living God through the past, the present and into the future. My God is a great God.

Revelation 22:12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done." John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believe him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

The Living God Part 2: The One Who Was And Is And Is To Come

In the last part, I discussed about a Living God, one who is resurrected and can live up to His promises. In this part, I will discuss about a God who is living in the past, the present and even into the future.

Revelations 4:8 says "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come" Revelations 1:8 also says "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." What does all this mean? "Who was" would mean that God is of the past, "who is" would mean that God is of the present, "who is to come" mean God is of the future. Alpha means the beginning, and Omega means the end. So our God is one who spans through all time, existing from the beginning to the very end.

We can also see from these verses that indeed God is definite about this, He is sure about what He said. He did not say "who may come". He said " who is to come". The mere use of the word "is" ensures that He is sure to come.

"Who was". Our God is one of the past. Even though He is one of the past, He is still the Living God. Matthew 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living." Our God is one of the living. He is the God of the forefathers, God of past. You may ask how this will be as we will all die eventually and that the forefathers are dead. Indeed our earthly body dies, but when we believe in Christ our Lord, our soul is revived and lives eternally through the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Who is". Our God as one of the present. Matthew 28:20 "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" Hey hey, look at this verse. God says, "I AM with you always" He said I AM. "Am" is present tense if you know english. This clearly means He is the God of the present, NOW. And look, "to the very end of the age". This is a promise that He will be with us till the end, as the above have shown, to the Omega. This eventually leads me to the next point.

"Who is to come". A God of the future. Joshua 1:5 "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." Look at this. The use of all the "will". "Will" is a future tense. He WILL be with us, WILL never leave us, WILL not forsake us. When someone says that he will, he is making a promise. If I say, "I will come to have lunch with you", I am making an appointment, a promise that I will come and have lunch with you. Similarly, God is promising that He will never forsake us, and we can be assured that God never fail in His promises.

Indeed, our True and Living God lives through the past, the present and the future. He was with us in the beginning, is with us now, and will be with us in the future, all the way through to the end. And rest assured, He will not fail in His promises to be with us all the way.

Revelation 22:13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

A Living God

Once again I feel like talking about my God, so if you are sensitive to religious issues, just kindly move your mouse the the "X" at the top right hand corner of your screen and click it.

Ok, my God is a living God. Meaning, He is not dead. This is the most wonderful thing in christianity. Jesus isn't dead. He came down to this earth, died on the cross for all our sins, and ROSE AGAIN. Ok, the reason why I capped the "rose again" is because this is real important! 1 Corinthians 15 of the Bible tells us that if Christ has not risen from the dead, all of our faith would have been wasted, Christianity wouldn't even exist! This "rose again" is so important because it shows that the God which we believe in has actually beaten death! Some of you might ask why is this so important. Well, it is important because, Jesus has promised all of us, that if we believe in Him, we will have eternal life. And the only way to have eternal life is to beat death. If Jesus did not rise again and beat death, wouldn't the promise be a fake? Jesus told His disciples that he would rise from the dead after 3 days and He did. Imagine if He did not rise from the dead, wouldn't His disciples just walk off and not continue Christianity? So yes, indeed Jesus has rose again, beaten death and we can be assured He can give us eternal life. I'm not critisising other religions but Christ is the only God that rose again! Buddha did not rise from the dead, neither did whatever gods there are. No other gods that are worshipped has ever risen again except Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ rose again to prove that He is the Son of God, that He has power over death, that He can give us eternal life, that He is the Living God. I wouldn't want to worship a dead god, neither do I worship dead ancestors, as all these are dead, buried somewhere or are even in ash, they can't help me to achieve eternal life when I die, coz they can't even do it themselves! I worship a Living God that can speak to me, one that can help me. A Living God that has beaten death and will surely be able to grant me everlasting life. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Turn Left Turn Right: Review

And I watched the VCD I bought. Nice show I would say. A spoiler of the story here, I just like telling people stories. Haha.

The story start off with this 2 person, a man and a woman, both just beside each other, but do not know each other. Many a times they are close, but never once they met. The whole story revolves around a poem. This poem talks about a man and a woman who always are close, but never meet. Get the link?

Alright, this 2 people just live next to each other ok. Only a wall seperates both of them. Yet, because of something that they are afraid of, the lady goes left whenever she leaves her house, and the man, right. So they hardly have any chance to meet.

Yet, as if the story is developing at last, the 2 characters come to a fountain. As all of us know, this fountain is round. And when u put 2 parallel lines around a circle, they meet right? So yes, at last even though they were going opposite directions, they met.

The 2 characters spent quality time with each other, and fell in love at 1st sight. In fact, not at 1st sight. Thats because when they were very young, they met and fell in love too. Regconizing each other by their student ID number, as they did not know each other. At a train, the girl asked the boy for number, but lost it. That was long time ago, and now, they meet again, wonderful isn't it. Both then got to learnt the wonderful poem which this story is revolved around.

So they spent time with each other, untill it rains. They quickly exchanged numbers and rushed home, one going left, another going right. However, just when I thought the story is developing, ah, the piece of paper which their numbers were on got wet, and the numbers gone! So they went on guessing the number, untill both fell sick.

Ya, so they went on like this. Always getting just next to each other, but never meet. Untill one day, both of them recieved a package of photos that were taken of them, so close, yet never meeting. The 2 characters said the same thing: "Without the other person, its like a person without a shadow" So nice isn't it.

Ok, and they still continued with their life, guessing numbers. Then, people who once liked them gave each of the 2 characters a number. And guess what, the number is actually the number that they were guessing all along! But they did not know.

The man, a violonist, got admitted to go to Venice for a music thingy. The woman, a script translator, got a job in America. Both of them will be leaving each other, but still, they can't guess the number. So forget it, the man decided to call the number which he got from the person who once liked him. And the woman did the same thing. An answering machine took the call, and both of them just talked to the answering machine. Now I hope that you all remember that the number they called is actually each others number.

So yes, they were talking into each other's answering machine. They did not know at 1st, untill both read out that very poem which they shared! They knew immediately that it was the other party. Both then immediately ran out of their house, opposite directions and began shouting frantically each other's student ID number(they did not know each other's name). The shouting was a failed attempt. Both returned to their houses to pack the things they needed for going overseas the next day. It seems all hope is lost.

Both were at their homes, and I thought the story would just end like that, forever not getting to meet each other. Yet, indeed, good things do happen in the end. Just when both were about to leave, the guy decided to try again to call the number, and the lady decided to wait just a little while before leaving. The call got through, the lady picked up the phone.

Yet yet yet, at that very moment, an earthquake shook the whole apartment, and call go cut off! Ah! What a waste isn't it. However, thats not the case. The earthquake not only cut the lines, but also brought down the wall that were seperating both of them all along! They see each other, and knew immediately that they would never leave each other again. The End, how nice.

Thanks God

Yo, this post is totally dedicated to my God. You see, many a times, God helps and blesses us but we don't see it that way. We sometimes know its a blessing but we forget to thank Him. It is very important to know that God is blessing us and thank him! Let me give a real life example. I once had a bicycle. There was this time I took it out for a ride and left it outside my friend's house, with me being in the house. It was stolen. Gone. I was very sad. So I went on my knees and prayed to God. In an hour time, as I was walking about looking for the bike, I found it lying by a firehydrant, full with no parts missing! I thanked God there and then. But God told me to give a testimony about this to my cell group. I failed to give the testimony. One month later, the bike was stolen from outside my own house, and gone forever. This happened before I was revived and on fire for God. It is very very important to thank God, so here goes, I am gonna thank God for all He had done for me as far as my memory can bring.
The first thing I want to thank God is for bringing me to come and know Him. Through my parents I got to go church, and got baptised. However I left God when I was young, that is so wrong of me. But, thank God once again for forgiving me! And not giving up on me for all those years that I did not serve him, then bringing me back to Him again! And now, I have dedicated my heart to serve Him. Next, thank God for all my great friends. They have been very fantastic and have lightened up my life. Next thanks is very important. Thank God for preserving my life in the car accident I got. I believe that had it not been God interception, I would be in the hospital. It is truely a miracle and I believe that it is God's grace that I had been saved at that very time. Then, thank God for all my friends and family who helped me celebrate such a wonderful birthday. Thank God for all those wonderful gifts from Steph, Trina, Zihao and my sis. And also thank God for helping me to go to the church camp this year. And lastly, blessing me so wonderfully with such a fantastic church camp! Yes, thank you God, you have been a great God, and I will surely and truly serve you with all my heart.

6th June ~ 10th June: Evangel Family 32nd Church Camp

Yes, so how have you spent this week of yours? I don't really need to know how you spent your week but I'll just tell you how I spent my week. For many people, its the holidays, but to my friends in poly, sorry its not. So that means no school. Thus, as the title suggests, I went to the Evangel Family 32nd Church Camp, in simple words, I went to my church's camp in Malaysia. So let me bring a little details about this wonderful experience I had at Sunway Pyramid, PJ, Malaysia.

6th June: I woke up and took the stuff I packed the night before and left home. Upon reaching the MRT station, I realised that I did not bring my EZ-Link card, BIG MISTAKE. So I had to buy a single trip ticket which cost alot more than the usual fare and boarded the train. My destination is NEWTON, but due to my blurness, I alighted and exited the station at NOVENA. 2ND BIG MISTAKE. Therefore, I had to buy another single trip ticket to go Newton, wasting time and money. Reached Newton, I was late by a little. So everything went as planned and we headed for the Second Link Tuas Checkpoint. TRAFFIC JAM! My goodness. The bus stayed motionless for about an hour. Then we went through the packed Singapore checkpoint and into Malaysia. Had lunch on the way to KL at some place called Yong Peng. When we were nearing Kuala Lumpur, 2ND TRAFFIC JAM! Ok, nevermind, we still reached Sunway Pyramid at 5pm. Then I went according to the timetable, having prayer, service then sleep. Had a mini wrestling in the room. End of Day 1.

7th June: Woke up, washed up and went for prayer. Had devotion then breakfast. Found out that the waiters are pretty friendly. Then service and after that lunch. Went out to Subang Parade for a shopping trip but bought nothing. Had an Earthquake at Swensons then went back to hotel. Bought a Adidas shirt at the hotel mall for RM50. Had dinner then prayer then service. Walked about the mall a little then sleep. Had another mini wrestling in the room. End of Day 2.

8th June: Again, woke up, washed up and went according to the timetable. During breakfast, I decided to be a waiter myself and poured myself some tea. During the afternoon free time, my friends and I went to the theme park and played. Got ourselves wet and had a great time. One of my friend even lost her slippers. Then as usual dinner and prayer and service. Became a waiter again during dinner. Went around the mall a little again, tried some shorts but decided not to buy them. Then went room to sleep. Had another mini wrestling. End of Day 3.

9th June: Once again, I do the things I do every morning. Continued being waiter during breakfast and got called waiter Ang. During afternoon free time, went to really shop around the mall. Bought a pair of board shorts at last for RM41. Then dinner and got called waiter Ang again. Prayer and service. Then went out to a market place opposite to have supper. Had Cuttlefish with KangKong Veg, chee chong fun, fried kway teow, some noodles and chicken wing. Bought fried kway teow and chicken wing for my room mate. Then I went back to room. Packed my things to leave tomorrow. No wrestling tonight coz we want to be peaceful. Chatted with each other in the dark about many things. Slept at about 2am. End Of Day 4.

10th June: Was supposed to wake up at 6.30am to soak in the bathtub and pray with my room mate. But the alarm failed us and we ended up waking at 7.50am. Designated time to have breakfast: 8am. So we rushed through the washing up. Then we prayed. We took our bags and said goodbye to our room. Had breakfast and waited for our coaches to come. Took some photos while waiting. Coaches came and we went off. Had lunch on the way to Malaysia Checkpoint, same place where we had lunch on the first day, Yong Peng. Went through Malaysia and Singapore Checkpoint. The coach brought us back to Newton. I bought another single trip ticket and took the train home. Did all the unpacking and stuff. And now, I am blogging.

*END OF LOG*

Turn Left Turn Right

After scouting around for this movie, I finally found it at North Point in Yishun. I tried Lot1 in Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang Plaza in BP, but just can't find it. So at last, I got it for S$8. Pretty cheap. And yes, i suppose it is a nice movie. Just have this good feeling about it. I like the song very much, Yu Jian, I suppose thats what they call it. It means to "meet by chance". Well, and the show is pretty touching I heard, no idea, I haven't watched it yet. It talks about 2 people who live right next to each other but have never ever met before. This is because this guy likes to turn right, and the woman likes to turn left. Well, just like parallel line, they just never meet. However, they met at a fountain, probably because the fountain is round. So they had this love at first sight experience and really got along well. Then, it rained. They quickly exchanged phone numbers and ran off, each to the direction they like to go, left, right. And sad enough, their numbers which were written on paper, was smudged. And whats left was just a few numbers. And the story goes on about how they try to find each other and like any story goes, they finally found each other. So thats basically the story but I haven't watched it yet. Oh ya, holidays is here, so happy.

A Poem To Share

I find a particular interest in this poem and would like to share it with you guys. Enjoy.

A Satirical Elegy (On the Death of a Late Famous General) by Jonathan Swift

His Grace! impossible! what, dead!

Of old age, too and in his bed!

And could that Mighty Warrior fall?

And so inglorious, after all!

Well, since he's gone, no matter how,

The last loud trump must wake him now;

And, trust me, as the noise grows stronger,

He'd wish to sleep a little longer.

And could he be indeed so old

As by the newspapers we're told?

Threescore, I think, is pretty high;

'Twas time in conscience he should die.

This world he cumbered long enough;

He burnt his candle to the snuff;

And that's the reason, some folks think,

He left behind so great a stink.

Behold his funeral appears,

Nor widow's sighs, nor orphan's tears,

Wont at such times each heart to pierce,

Attend the progress of his hearse.

But what of that, his friends may say,

He had those honors in his day.

True to his profit and his pride,

He made them weep before he died.

-

Come hither, all ye empty things,

Ye bubbles raised by breath of kings;

Who float upon the tide of state,

Come hither, and behold your fate.

Let Pride be taught by this rebuke,

How very mean a thing's a Duke;

From all his ill-got honors flung,

Turned to the dirt from whence he sprung.

The 17th Birthday

It is the 536112000th second, 8935200th minute, 148920 hour, 6205 day, and 17th year of my life. Ok, looks pretty heavy right, its just my 17th birthday. Some people say the 17h year is the sweetest year in your life. The sweet teen, or even a magazine called "Seventeen" would suggest this. But why is this so? I don't know, and I don't feel like thinking about this. Well, thats cos I am so happy today. Why? Not just cos its my birthday. Its cos people actually remember my birthday. They sent me short messages through the phone wishing me a happy birthday. And they wish my happy birthday in school. Thats just so great. Some people say its great only when you recieve presents. But I say its great when people actually remember that its your birthday. It takes effort to remember someone's birthday, ok? I mean, its hard to know this kind of joy untill you get a year when no one even remember its your birthday. Thats sad. Well, this year, a whole bunch of people remembered the date, so that really made me glad. Birthday is a day that happens only once a year, and each time you celebrate your birthday, you get older. That means from the last birthday till now, I am older by a year. I mean thats the obvious, but many people still don't realise it. They just spend their birthday like its just a normal celebration. They just see it as a day when you get good food and lots of gifts. The real meaning of a birthday is the growing up, and thats why every year, your gifts will be different. When you are like just 3 years old, people would give you little toys, or bears or whatever. When you are 17, thats a totally different thing. People would give something else like a shirt, shoe, or handphone. I mean, if someone give you a baby toy at your 17th birthday, wouldn't that be way too absurd? It would seem like a joke to you, wouldn't it? And as you get older, like reaching 60s or 80s, people would hold real expensive dinners for you, buy tonics as gifts. See the difference? I am sure you can. Well, for today, not much celebration with my friends, they wished me a happy birthday afterall. It was at night when I celebrated with my family. My sis bought me this pretty tight T-shirt... I am sure she didn't meant it to be tight, just maybe she overlooked the size. Well, my family and I had dinner then had this birthday cake and song. And thats all. Had a happier birthday than last year, I wonder what next year will be, when I am 18...

A Day Before Birthday

And its a day before my birthday and I am already feeling so very happy. This year's birthday, I suppose, is so much better and meaningful and the last year's one. Last year, if my memory does not fail me, no one even remembered my birthday except for my family members. At least my friends made it up to me by bringing me to dinner some days after. This year, quite a number of my close friends have my birthday in their mind. I am so happy. Whats better is that they actually give me present before my birthday! Heeeee, I am so glad. The first present I got was this nice cross that I could hang on my phone, reminding me that Jesus is with me always! Thanks Stephanie! And the second was a nice photoframe which I could put the happy memories that are captured on photos in! Thanks Trina! And the third was this super expensive Adidas shoe which I could wear to replace the old rugged Adidas shoe which I had been wearing for years! Thanks Zihao! Oh my, its so hard to even to even put my happiness in words. And its not even my birthday yet! Gosh, I wonder what will happen on my birthday. Already today we had this nice little meal at Billy Bombers. Heeee. And I think back my last 17 years. Well, I don't keep a diary so I basically don't have much to recall from. I can only grab hold of vague memories of when I was just in primary school and secondary school. Other memories would come from the many photos which I had taken. Memories are things that goes very fast. They come and they go. You either capture them, or you lose them forever. Thats why taking pictures is so important. And thats why a photoframe like the one Trina gave me is so important. Keeping memories will surely add much meaning to life. Haven't you taken a picture of when you were 1 years old, then 5 years old, 10 years old, 15 years old, 17 years old and compared all of them together and realised how much you have grown and you didn't even realise it? Imagine if you have n0t taken the photo at that time, wouldn't it be impossible to find out how you looked like in past and even know how much you have changed? So its always good to take up a camera and snap some meaningful memories so that these memories can be captured and be kept with you always.

My Tooth Aches

Yes, I got a toothache right now. Not a sharp pain, but this stupid feeling as if I got a bruise inside my mouth. I ain't gonna see a dentist, and will never see a dentist unless my teeth are in critical condition. The reason? I have this phobia towards the 'doctor of the mouth' ever since a very bad experience with a dentist in primary school. This dentist in primary school is extremely "not good". Ok, she made me spit mouthfuls after mouthfuls of blood. Thats sick. I hate dentists ever since. Oh well, enough crap about this. You don't have to see a dentist if you take care of your teeth and brush it well, right? And let me thank Phebe for actually reading this crap. I wonder if there are other people who reads this. And well, lets talk about what happened to me on 2 May 2005. Well, my friends and I went to Sentosa to relax, have a volleyball game and just slack around on the beach. Ok, so we went, brought along food to eat. The sun was so hot nobody needed an oven. Man, the moment I stepped barefoot on the sand, I wanted to fly away. The sand can really cook your feet. I am serious. It is extremely hot. So my friends and I basically wore slippers to play volleyball, to prevent the "cooked feet syndrome". And well, for the 1st time in my entire life, I got sunburnt. Not really serious, but it feels stupid. That healed the next day. I became very tan. A little red too. Now, my nose is starting to shed skin, no idea why though. And ok, I think thats enough. Man, I am bored...
