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...

Choices: To Be Or Not To Be, That Is The Question

Let me start of with this: Does anybody still read this stuff anymore?! Ok, enough. I just made a choice. And that choice is to come and post on the blog, instead of doing something else. And this is called opportunity cost, in which case I believe that posting on the blog is the best option... ok, enough economics. Well, we make choices everyday, don't we? To choose to take the bus or take a cab. To choose to wake up early, or just lay in bed. Or so on and so forth. It is endless. We make so many choices everyday that we decide to stop counting the choices we make. Now thats a choice too. Man, this is crazy, I can go non-stop about this. And it is a choice that I wrote the last sentence. Argh, this is making me mad. Whatever. Ok, every choice will have a consequence. Be it minor choice, or major choice. How do you define minor choice and major choice? Well, minor choice have minor consequence, and major choice have major consequence, its that simple. Minor choices include, to take bus instead of cab, to use spoon or chopsticks etc. Ok, major choices include to convert to a religion or not, to tell someone "I love you" etc. Then theres medium choices. These include to go school or not, how much you decide to spend etc. And its real important that we make the right choices. Be it minor, medium or major, it is very important to make the right choices. To make right choices means to make the choice that will bring the most benefits and the least damage. And these benefits need not be for you. It can be for other people too. Just make sure the damage is minimal or best none. Ok, I suppose that I will have to make a choice to stop writing now. Choice made. Haha...

I Don't Know

It just seems like so long since I last wrote anything at all on this page. And I am wondering if anybody reads this stuff anymore. I just feel so tired nowadays. I just suppose its the insufficient sleep I am getting. No that I am rushing homework or what, its just that I love to sleep late. And having to wake up early is quite a torture, for me at least. Academic wise I suppose I still manage, but I don't know when I will no longer be able to. Also, I just feel so weak nowadays. 2.4km is tiring already. I am not getting good results for fitness. I didn't use to have these problems. 2.4km run was pretty alright for me. But now... well. Pullups no longer is an easy thing anymore. From the 7 pullups which I could easily come up with, I could come up with only 5 now. In the past when I was being "tekan" by scouts senior, 20 pushups was not much of a problem, but now, I had to really push to make 10. I suppose all these is happening cuz I became very slack. And theres many reasons for these. First, ever since I became a scout venture, I did not do much pushups, instead, I order people to do pushups, which in turn meant that I am becoming weaker. And, after my bicycle spoiled, I did not go cycling anymore. My stamina, leg strength all deteriorated. And overall, I have become much weaker physically, and I could feel it myself. Napha is just around the corner. I cannot afford to get anything less than a silver. And with my current condition, it will not be easy to achieve a silver. Thus, I must start to work my body up so that it will be once again toned back what it used to be! 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2....

I Am

totally stressed out to the point that I can break down anytime now and die on the spot. And yes, I am exaggerating. I am just a little stressed than what I had been in the past 4 months. I just had to wake up at 6.30am every morning instead of the 12pm in the past 4 months. Actually, I shouldn't even complain about this, I have friends who wake up at 4.50pm and 5pm simply because they live as far as Tampines and Johore Bahru. For the benefit of people who don't know why I say its far, Tampines is at the other end of the island from my college and Johor Bahru is on another country. I have not ended yet. For the first time in 4 months, I had to do homework. Yes, homework, work that is to be done at home. Although it is just very light work, but the thought of bringing work home to be done really bore me. And also, I have to stay at school untill 5pm? Not everyday, but staying in one place for so long really is boring. And now, I shall say that all the above things are not valid... er? No, I did not tell lies to you, I am only saying that theres something else that discounted all these complains. Friends. My new friends in college literally removed all these stressful complains. Going to college no longer becomes a strenous thing to do every morning, staying at school no longer is a boring thing to be done. Lessons no longer become a bore. All these due to my friends. And I thank God for this wonderful class of friends. Helpful, fun to be with, full of humour. These are enough for me to enjoy college life. A life with no friends really won't make it. Ok, I have work to be done, homework. Some literature anybody? Maybe geography? You can even have the choice of general paper if you like...

And College Life Kicks Off

Hey hey, its the 5th day in PJC and the orientations have ended. Notice that I did not use the word "finally" because I really missed the orientations. Just hoped it could be a little longer. The orientations were really fun and I really enjoyed myself. My new class has such a fantastic bunch of people, and thank God some sniffing stucked up guy decided that PJC was too low for him he decided to go to AJC. Good riddance. So my new class has, of course, new classmates! And they are all great. Really interesting and enjoyable people. And we have... hm... 4 boys in the class, 21 girls. Er, so you can really see the ratio is... off balance. Alright, its fine, none of the boys in my class has problems with girls, so we mixed in real well. Ok, today, lessons officially begin. Starts off with an hour of break as we just slack around in the canteen. Had a good chat then went for lit class. Lit class was pretty cool, theres this funky teacher who teaches and it really makes the lesson interesting, although note taking was not easy at the speed he was going. This teacher cracks jokes and all, and, he's the first male teacher I see who tucks out his shirt, like some factory worker. But he's fun, really fun. Then comes geography. Woh, this geo teacher was really on jet mode. He just goes so fast. He doesn't even gives an introduction to whats he's teaching. First thing he said was something about hydrology then went on babbling about floods and all and showed us pictures of some Britain towns that were hit by floods, and its all Britain. He has this heavy british accent and he just talks so fast, goes through slides so fast. He just goes on and on and on and I just have to keep writing and writing. I don't even understand some things he talked about. But well, never mind. Then comes project work time. This time, the teacher was on super sonic mode. She was really really really fast. I thought geo time was bad enough, I was wrong. She just go slide after slide after slide and don't even give us some time to take down notes, promises to give us some notes but did not. Then comes assembly. Ah, funky teacher again, remember my lit teacher? He gives a talk, pretty interesting. I had time to write notes properly, at last. Very motivating and logical, shows us that we have only 13 months left to study(maybe thats why the teacher go so fast) and gave us this manual of surviving in JC. Cool. Now I can survive in JC. *Jumps up in joy and cheers*

Following The Mob?

Today, after a long and tiring race of the amazing east, my friends and I went for dinner then sat down outside a macdonald restaurant and started chatting. One of topics we talked about revolved around "love". This love refers to boy-girl relationship love, not your innocent mother-son or whatever love. And it set me off thinking. Many a times, we see our friends going out with their girlfriends or boyfriends, and we actually get this peer pressure that maybe we should get a girlfriend or boyfriend for ourself too? And many a times, this is pretty wrong. Before we get into a BGR, we shouldn't just follow the mob. We should put into thinking many of the things that will be involved in this relationship. Like the sacrifice of time, the attention, the money, and on and on and on. And we still have to consider whether we can cope with what we are doing or not. Theres so many things to consider because this relationship is one heck of an important thing in our life. We shouldn't just jump into a relationship just because our friends are doing so. Not that I am against having a girlfriend or boyfriend nor am I being high above the rest or anything, I am just trying to say that there many things to weigh out before we do something so serious it could probably impact our life. And we shouldn't follow the mob for every other things as well. Like if many people smoke, it doesn't you should too. If many people drink, it doesn't mean you should too. If many people commit adultery, it doesn't mean you should too. If many people decide to go to hell, it doesn't mean you should too. We shouldn't always follow the mob all the times, althought sometimes, the majority could be right, but that doesn't mean the majority is right all the time. In a race, there is always only one winner and a mob of losers.

College Life - Not Too Much Of A Nightmare, Not A Dream Either

And thats it, I am in college and there ain't a thing I am going to do about it. Appeal options are available in every poly but I am not going to trouble myself, despite of all the advice from some of my friends that perhaps I should appeal for poly. Ok, for two days I was in Pioneer JC and life don't suck there. I really appreciate what they do for the orientation. They try very hard to make the new peeps feel welcomed in the JC, and I can say they pretty much has succeeded. I actually felt this sense of being lost again, the same feeling I felt everytime I get into a new institution. The first day I was in JC, I didn't talk to a single person except for my friends from secondary school who were with me in PJC. The second day, I talked to a boy in my orientation group, and that led us to talk to another boy in the same orientation group. Then thats it, there were only 3 boys in our OG. The rest were all girls. So ok, we talked to the girls, and the girls talked to us. Then our whole OG started talking. Thats great, I have new friends in new college, yeah. Ok, the 1st day in JC was extremely boring, so was the start of the 2nd day. They did nothing but admin stuff, that means speeches after speeches after speeches. I actually paid attention, afraid that I might miss something important that I needed to know in the JC. And then we started opting for subject combinations. The rest could opt, but not me. On my form was "Please see Vice Principle For Subject Combination". And I did as the paper told me. I was posted to a class that has econs, geo, eng lit, general paper and chinese AO. I could not opt, they gave me only one choice and I was approved straight away, great-_-" And the games, helped to know each other. And the dance, pretty interesting. Well, I guess JC life isn't so much of a nightmare afterall.

An Island Tale and The Start Of A College Nightmare

Yesterday, 21 March 2005, 5 people, 4 guys and a girl, went on board a ship and went to an island, a sparsely populated island. They bought a camera, went on this bumper ship, then snapped many many photos. When they reach the island, they decided to rent some 'high-end' bikes, but when they found that these bikes cost $10 each, they decided for the more lousier ones, which cost $5 each. So they sped off into the island on a road that has seen less cars than people. They went and went. Then the 5 people became 3 people. The reason being that 2 of them decided that they wanted to rest in some hut. So the 3 people continued their cycling journey around the island, with no clothing for the upper body, leaving it all vulnerable for mosquitoes to attack. They cycled and cycled, sometimes offroad, sometimes on road, sometimes up slope, sometimes down slope. Then there came a point when the 3 peeps were going offroad downslope, when one of them peep's bike got into a problem and he flew out of his bike, landing onto rocks and stones and sand. But that doesn't matter, it didn't stop the 3 crazy boys from cycling. They went on and on, taking photos, looking at quarries, passing by cemetries and feels scared, and getting chased by mosquitoes. When they decided that they had roughly covered most of the island they decided to return to the village as the sun was about to set. So they got back to 'town', or the only village on the whole island, rendevous with the other 2, returned their bikes, looked at people take wedding photographs, then waited a long time for a boat. Then they took a boat and returned to the main island, Singapore, from the sparsely populated island, Pulau Ubin. So the gang of 5, were in this Changi place and they had dinner. Then they went to this Bugis place to watch movie. Then they went home, after such a long day. The next day, one of the boys, Meng Hui went to check which place he got posted to after his O'level exams, hoping he might get into Singapore Poly, which was his first choice. So he logged on, and checked. He almost got a heart attack and died on the spot. To his horror, he realised that the screen read "Posted Institution: Pioneer JC" He almost killed himself. Pioneer JC was his fourth choice, the last of all his choices. But well, nevermind, he shrugged it off and decided that this might be God's will for him. Then he prepared himself for school, the start of his college nightmare.
