Yi Bin

Linkin Park is gonna be in Singapore today and I'm dead stuck at home.
This blows.

A BIG heartfelt thanks to all who've tagged my blog while its dead.
I suddenly felt instigated to do this.

Revival?

Its been some time since I've touched this blog haha!
Hols are often the times when blogs become stagnant.

Went for double service on sat & sun, both were great!
But i almost fell asleep during the sun one.
I guess it was because I slept at 2am in the morning.
With thanks to Daph for a morning call, if not I'd be late.

Pst. Ulf was a little deeper this time round, i got a little confused at several times wondering what his message was about.
It required effort to get back on track to the sermon.
Because somehow or another, i think I'm not used to the way he preaches.
Couldn't catch the main points at times.
But overall it was good, it got me fired up.
And Carola is a GREAT singer.
Truely anointed.
I can't remember how to spell her surname because its Swedish in nature.
Much like a french name haha.
To note, She's the winner of Eurovision 1991.
To the uninformed, Eurovision is the bigger version of American Idol, similar competition, higher scale.
Like World Idol.

Went to lunch with Kok Keng, Desiree and Amanda at Changi after service on sun.
Talked alot with Kk and discovered much about the cell group.
As in alot of inside info.
Interesting session we had.
And I'm pretty sure Desiree had a manifestation of a three-year old kid that day.

TOTALLY RANDOM
Majority of Singaporeans are all polyglots.
That is to say, they can speak more than one language.
I assure I'm one myself, speaking tongues of Chinese, English. Less fluent Hokkien, Teo Chew and to a certain extent, Malay, Tamil and Jap.
The only sentence i know in Tamil is the one heard everyday at the MRT stations.

Its time to ameliorate the standards of my posts.
Hopefully, it won't become a beta noire in the sight others.

Song of the Day: Saviour King - Hillsong United

Looks are important because the world is superficial.
The world is superficial because men are ministers of sciolism.

MUSOU DEADLOCK

Dynasty Warriors has taken up my whole afternoon.
I can't believe it lol.
It was really a true, pure hardcore gaming time, lucky its hols.

Well got a job intro from Bernice, Thanks!
Might consider.

On a lighter note, Kimberly much dearly awaits the return of Joy from OBS.
I think she'll have a breakdown soon if Joy doesn't.

Song of the Day: Old Yellow Bricks - Arctic Monkeys

Hello people, its been a week since hols started and i'm lazing at home playing warcraft the whole day.
Ok i stayed at home today for once.
Out on wed,thurs,fri,sat.

Cousins, aunts and uncles came my house today for some prayer thing.
And my cousin was playing pacman over the com on facebook haha!

Basically spent the whole day just playing, gaming and eating.
Kinda slack huh?

Oh, hope everyone who ate the food ytd are feeling much better now.
I think its a case of food poisoning.
The funny part's this:

believing the unseen says:
hey!
[ACM] <žMelvinž> The end of Fear is where we Begin. says:
helo
believing the unseen says:
heard u vomitted ah
believing the unseen says:

quoted from wen hui " We must be careful about the things we say."
believing the unseen says:
hahhahaha!!
believing the unseen says:
yah !
believing the unseen says:
hahahahha!!

The real scary thing about the incident was everyone vomitted about the same time, like when it was close to 3.
Eerie.
So anyway, i'm feeling better with much thanks to milk, prayer and God.
I'm off to bships with YZ now.
Chow!

Song of the Day: Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins.

ZK's Birthday Bash

Today was a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day.
Ok i'm talking about wednesday.

Well its two important events happening on the same day.

O's Chinese paper was quite unexpected.
The topics for compo was very, very unexpected.
However manageable.
Hopefully can score.
MUST SCORE

Paper 2 was ok, except one of the compre question was quite scary.

Well after chinese O's went to eat with YZ and Roc but in the end decided not to 'cos there wasn't space.
So went home and rested before going out again.

Went to celebrate Zi Kai's BIRTHDAY!
Planned to go Chong Pang and eat.
Ok compared to the other one where i ate last time i guess Chong Pang the people looked friendlier.
Mostly aunties HAHA
Food was ok. As usual, when there's guys around, its just spam meat.
And Chef Kah Koon made a nice broth of a soup.
Although Chef Harry's one was better haha!
But it is admirable to be able to cook nice soup.

In the midst of eating, i have a general conclusion that guys CAN cam-whore just as much as girls do.
Ivan was going on a spree haha.
I'm not one to cam-whore unless requested haha.
Its rude to turn someone down.

No pictures here though, BUT you can visit Ivan's blog under my links.

Went bowling after that.
Went arcade with KK and i got scammed at the spoilt drum machine.
Bowling was quite fun, we were making a hell' lot of noise there.
Alot of unexpected underdogs got really high scores haha.
To name were: Bryan Tan, Richie.
Bryan had a score of 128 and Richie about 133.
VERY HIGH
I got a 103 which got me satisfied.
Hitting 100 was alr quite hard haha.
We all went home after that. Tiring day haha.
But fun.

A few more hours to O' level Chinese.
If anyone were to ask me how prepared I am, I'd say no.
Well its hard to prepare for a language.

On the other hand, I've never memorised so many proverbs before haha.
Preparation at 70%?

Final preparation now: Prayer.

Intakes and Outs

I've signed up for facebook due to the overwhelming number of requests i've got.
Actually it was just 3 people but i was just curious.

My take:
A place where you can really, really waste a lot of your time on. Not recommended for those already obsessed over friendster.
As noticed, it is not as user-friendly as friendster is but one thing i like about its the amount of security the site emphasises.
Also its not as fake as friendster.
Well not until i discovered jun wen's profile.
If you don't have a online social network account, I'd not recommend facebook.
On the whole, its friendster, with much, much more things to do.

Disclaimer: Loads of functions YET to be discovered.

Service was good on saturday.
Watched about 5 videos, which was really the excess over the quotidian service.
But it really got the vision of an indoor stadium going.

Oh and airport fellowship was real funny.
Jing Zhu Zhe Ci, Jing Mo Zhe Hei.
Haha.
The song game thing was fun.

Mass pangseh'ed leaving only Margt, Calista and me to take bus.

Oh well.

And I've tried to come up with a few phrases on living life.

You don't learn 'till you've tried.

You haven't cared until you've shared.

You can't have faith unless you've believe.

You won't treasure until you've lost.



Well here are several alternative ones:

You don't eat 'till you bite.

You don't scream 'till you dream.

You don't smell unless you're in a well.

You'll stink if you don't drink.


Alright i must get some sleep already.
YZ says we must go LP concert.
I already have one concern: $128!

Word of the Day: Impecunious - Describes someone who is poor or is habitually without money.

One word to sum up Lin De, Michael or John(:

Song of the Day: Whole 'Lotta Love - Led Zepplin

I've been here.
Inter-cca soccer was the BOMB.

Zhi Qun the hat-trick hero hahaha.

Rumblings

Ok i know its about 1 am now.
But the blogger urge in me is taking over the possession of my self-control.
Ok at least for 5 minutes.

Was blog hopping since ham went to sleep which was about half an hour ago.
I keep seeing the same thing on my peers blogs: results.
I wouldn't list unless God got the glory from it.
Simple enough?

Blogging is slowly becoming a quotidian aspect in my online life.
I periodically stopped this process before FYEs, but now i guess the flow's picking up again.
More or less, subsequent posts would be rather purblind, so it'll be more of a daily record than an insightful post.

Speaking of which, i haven't done one in a long, long time.
The last one the one i did on facades.
I guess it was really dismayed. Not that good.
I'll attempt another one. Soon.

Ok time to get some rest.
It appears on my msn list that i'm 1 out of the 20 or so that disregards sleep as a necessity in life.

Random Thoughts

Sundays are perfect for lazing around and doing nothing.
Well its also the best day to worship the Lord, especially in the afternoon, when the sky is clear and the clouds drift endlessly from part to part.
Its just gives me a really serene feeling.

Its 9 days away from O' level Chinese exams.
Time is ticking and the world is changing. (This is definitely from a song)

Saturday was another busy day.
Tuition in the morning and Daph called if i could have BS before serving.
In the end, it didn't come to pass.

Did external traffic, expected rain but it was shine all the way.
And i saw Mansfield and Jeffrey.
I was quite shocked, ok surprised.
Haha didn't know that they went CHC.
Well now there's something to look forward to next basketball training.

I thought the message was very good.
Pastor used a lot of analogies which was good.
Analogies help to paint clearer pictures.

Car park external duty after that instead of recycling.
Dusting ants off the tentage, stacking cones up to a metre high in the cage, and "matching pipes".
Haha. Matthew is one funny guy.
And so is Calvin.
Knocked off finally at about 8.30pm.

Some other random things happened during fellowship.
Like Margt's mo qi become mo shui.

Ok i'm off to play more RBO.
Its a nagging thought in my head.

Song of the Day: Tears In Heaven(Acoustic) - Eric Clapton

I thought the acoustic version was much, much better.

Layla

TO THE WORLD OUT THERE,
Where more than 6 billion wouldn't care,
I OFFICIALLY have SHORT hair.

Song of the Day: Layla - Eric Clapton

DANG DANG DANG DANG

Ok got back my results today and I'm really, really, relieved for A maths and Physics.
FINALLY PASSED PHYSICS HALLELUYAH!
55 marks. Not that good but as least its an improvement.
Well still failed overall.

Maths was like, er, can i get A1 or not.
Praise the Lord 'cos i got 77 marks!
Then Mr Lee(the maths teacher) had marked one question wrongly, so additional 1 mark hahaha.
Well i'm relieved because i did quite badly for mock exam.

To note, God is always faithful(:

Song of the Day: I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness

I'm considering red, blue or green for my hair colour next time.

School starts after the holidays and my body clock is all messed up.

RBO is the hots now. TD got quite sian as YZ said.

School is well, one free period after another and we're all trying to out talk each other about gunbound in class.
Well ok "we're" is just Cleon, Shu Yi, Darryn and me.
Occasionally Samuel or Josiah(?_?)

Today in GO was quite er, randomly wrong.
I come in at 7am and no ones inside.
Set up mike and system then go inside GO and read bible awhile.
Later a surprised Ervin came in around 7.15am.
Shan Wei came in and was rather surprised as well, 'cos he was wondering why so little people in school today.
School now starts at 7.45am everyday woohoo!
Then VP has to come with a black face a scold Shan Wei for his hair.

"Why your hair so long? Want me tell discipline comm isit?"

You know just this sentence alone makes me wonder just exactly how much power she really has as a VP.

"You what class?"

And the following logistics go on, name, class, date. OK there was no date involved.

So later Teo comes in and asks for his name tag.
Here's where the randomly wrong part comes.

He turns around and ask me for my name tag as well.
I was OK WTH.
Just sitting there with a hair like a bomb shell attracts instant attention.
Ok the back of my hair was flying.
But all the clay hasn't washed off yet!
Besides I never comb my hair in the morning. Lol


I was just contemplating on the number of things you can do in a minute.
So far i've thought these up:
1) Call someone
2) Do uniform buttons
3) Move from one end of the room to the other to take something.
4) Search for a particular worksheet in my file(This could actually take longer)
5) Create a sms and send it
6) Delete 5 inbox messages from my phone
7) Delete 5 sent items messages from my phone
8) Look at who's online on msn
9) Login to friendster and check for new testimonials
10)Do a particular video search on youtube
11)Bloghop and read the title of the first post available
12)START iTunes
13)Interchange 3 instant messages on msn with another person online
14)Drink a glass of water (Coke's longer)
15)Tie a shoelace
16)Search for a song on multiply
17)Lie somewhere and roll about 4-5 times
18)Pause and think about something
19)Surf 10 channels
20)A WHOLE 5 minutes to look at this whole list

Song of the Day: Majesty - Delirious?

Posting from about 2am and i was feeling tired 2 hours ago.
Ok i seriously think my body clock is screwed.

I have time for friendster now that exams are over!
Haha.

But its seems so much busier that i have to go out more often now.
OK maybe not.
Because i'm chionging gunbound and warcraft everyday now.

Well Friday's potluck was i guess, as Kang Wei said, "Abundance of Food!"
Everyone brought so much food.
And everyone left SO EARLY!
In the end only left like 10 plus people eating food for 20++ people.

Well ok, if you count Jonathan, a hungry Timo, Colby, Kang Wei, a hungry Joy and a "Mountain of Food" Awardee, all the food was still way too much to finish.

"Next time, potluck i'm not bringing anything."

WH, "What?"

"Oh nothing X_X"


Well today i think Pastor preached a good message.
And he messages now or rather, the services are geared towards motivating us for our 'Arise and Build' Campaign, which is well good.
Both he and WH said that the atmosphere today was real different from last week and like everyone was excited and all.

Personally i can't wait for 'Arise and Build' to come.
To give to God, i guess that's the only thing we can contribute other than time.
Well, at least on a practical level.

Its good to do good someone who is good to you.

Well i really hope that we can have a really nice and BIG building in the city areas.
I think we will.

Time will reveal all things.

Ok i really relaxed yet stressed at the same time because of chinese O's.
The momentum for studying is much or less gone by now.
But its really the last lap now.

Guess i must still pia, really relax after this last one.
We must make china department happy and all.
But most importantly,
Thank You God for the strength that You would provide for this last lap.

Some people question my faith and ask me why am I so full of the things of God.
My answer is still:
If you love someone, you'd trust the person and love to do the things he/she wants you to do, because its all for that person.

If you think about in this sense, LOVE is what makes the world go round, not money.

Money just makes people look good.

Song of the Day: Gel by Collective Soul

JUST TO PROVE MY BLOG ISN'T DEAD.

Hello everybody!

Exams are over and I'm feeling the lack of necessity in life right.

Song of the Day: Jenny - The Click Five

Encouragement

Ever since i've heard the "Encourager" message on friday, somehow or another i've been getting smses out of the blue encouraging me for my final years.

And the most surprising that its not from my cell group pals.

Well thank you guys! All the best to you too!



Had a talk with Wen Hui on saturday and realised how much i'm lacking in the spirit.
Its time to step up and be consistent!
And from there can I progress to new levels.

You do have to secure your foundation first before you build additional stories right?
If not all you need is just one push and everything will topple and fall.


Aside from that, building's fund coming up and I have a feeling that I definitely have to work this year for it.
Hopefully can find a job during the hols. That'll be nice.



I was just word-hopping at Dictionary/Thesaurus.com when i found something interesting.
The word 'Apostate' means someone who has abandoned his faith; religion or cause.

Another word or phrase if you like, 'doubting Thomas' means someone who is skeptical.
The reason behind the phrase was Saint Thomas, who doubted the revival of Jesus until he had finally seen it with his own true eyes.


So i pose a question today, would you be an Apostle or Apostate of Christ?
Both seem so similar in appearance yet different in meaning.

Song of the Day: World on Fire - Sarah McLachlan

Hooked on Anberlin.
And to my surprise its Christian Rock? Haha i thought it was indie.

Song of the Day: A Day Late - Anberlin

Ok my phone connection managed to work.
Here's the video, enjoy!
Its kind of short though.

Today had to stay back in school to do duty for sports appreciation night.

During assembly, Jit Hin, Manfred and me started climbing around the partitions in the hall toilets. Well cos we were disturbed by Rao when we were sleeping outside the cubicles.
Mooncake festival programme freaking boring.
Then i decided to go inside one cubicle, lock it, and climb over to another cubicle.
Fun stuff i tell you.
Oh and i got a cut at my elbow.

Ok after that went studio and thanks to Joshua's charger, my handphone battery didn't die.

Well most the time spent before the duty was stoning in the studio and playing soccer outside studio and in front of last supper.
Attained flesh wound number 2: Cut on big toe while kicking around barefooted.

Went out to buy bubble with YZ around 6pm.
Then came back to hall to pass Ervin and others the bubble tea.

Went to find Jun Wen to get back studio ball, then played basketball with NP and NCC people.
Why am i the only non-uniform group person there? Haha
Played till about 7pm, when Roc called.

Roc was in a bad mood today.
Well he lightened up during the duty.
And dam i couldn't take any pictures of the wushu people in air.
I was trying to get the auto-focus and flash working and i guess that partially distracted me from taking several good shots.

After everything, packed up and went bubble tea again with Robin.
Got a packet of bird's nest syrup.

Got home and realised i had some red mark that looked like a cut on my abdomen.
Score! Flesh wound number 3.

Ok actually i had an ever sicker wound that i gained on tuesday while dribbling the basketball for less than 5 minutes.
I'll upload the video of it once my phone connection is working.

In the mean time, Word of the Day:

intrepid \in-TREP-id\, adjective:

Fearless; bold; brave; undaunted; courageous; as, an intrepid soldier; intrepid spirit.

Song of the Day: Viking Kong - Racer X

Yet another personality test:



Well I'd say its largely true.

Song of the Day: Enter Sandman - Metallica

Another week closer to EOYs.
I'm going staunch on my blogging campaign right now to concentrate on the task at hand.

Anyway, English oral is a barrier that I can finally put aside.

Calista, Davin and me went Bedok to eat before service.
We had plenty of time after support ended.
Got the giant cup of chin chow again.
And I've received alot of insights about Poly life Haha!

Service yesterday was really reinforcing on ourselves spiritually.
Remembering all the things God has done for us.
I guess that IS important.
Always ying shui si yuan ah. Haha

Oh and we really contributed to global warming after service.
Burnt like 5-7 lanterns haha.

Word of the day:

turpitude \TUR-puh-tood; -tyood\, noun:
1. Inherent baseness or vileness of principle, words, or actions; depravity.
2. A base act.

Song of the Day: Change - Christian City Church

Speech tomorrow.
English oral, and urm i haven't even written a full speech.
Ok well my mentality is that since they're going to give us cue cards anyway, there's no point in completing a full speech.
I mean there's sure to be impromtu right?

Ok EOYs coming very very soon.
Have to work hard for Hist, Geog, Phys, S.S. and Chi.
Revise A.maths, Chem.
Ok i only don't have to study english. Woohoo.

In an effort to increase my vocabulary, i'm visiting dictionary.com everyday to look at the word of the day.

Today's Word of the day:

Impassible
1. Incapable of suffering; not subject to harm or pain.
2. Unfeeling or not showing feeling.

Not forgetting,

Song of the Day: Best I Ever Had - Vertical Horizon

Don't Change Your Circumstances, Change Yourself First

Today I MANAGED to get to duty ON TIME.
Like wow.
First time in like a 2-3 months.
The last time i was early was like before FOP.
So anyway, i learnt to hang the banners outside church.
Life-risking work ok! Haha the first time was scary 'cos had to climb the ladder until like the second highest step.
The subsequent times i didn't feel so afraid anymore.
I guess those abseiling exercises at taman negara really were effective in helping me overcome my fear of heights.

After that was zebra-crossing and it was madly packed during 4.40-5.10 period.
Like there was one wave nearly 300 people crossing at the same time.

Ok service was seriously exceptionally great.
Nick Vujicic sharing his testimony of how God changed his life.
He's born without any limbs but he's managed to touch millions around the world.
Check out his site at lifewithoutlimbs.org.
So anyway his story was really touching, i nearly cried.
And i really gained something from it all.



Ok maybe you'll reading all this and finding it irrelevant to you 'cos it seems that i'm just making my weekly entry about church.
Well if you're reading this here's what i really thought is really the gist of everything:

You can't exercise patience until you've learnt how to wait.

You can't exercise courage until you have become afraid.

If you do take a moment to consider, it is very logical.
I mean you can't show that you're braver than the rest until a situation arises for you to showcase your bravery.
So don't wait for your situations to change, start the change in you today.

Song of the Day: Through It All - Hillsong

Whew! Back from camp and this time i'm without blisters unlike last year haha.
It was good, this year's camp.
In fact, i think every year is good.

Amazing race was kind of gay, in the sense that my team had only 3 people.
Others had 4 or more.
Well we managed to finish 2nd in the end.
With help from Manfred's and YZ's group of course.
Oh and i pang seh'ed my team at the last station at vivo to collect my retainers.
They managed to finish that rather quickly i guess.
Good work!
Xi Jie and Andric are quite street smart.
Thanks to that we didn't get so lost.

NIght walk was a lil' too fast.
Clues sometimes don't make sense.
Well now i think they are actually quite direct.
Compared to amazing race.
Watched Exorcism of Emily Rose before night walk.
Well i must say its a very good movie.
It dealt with the problem of Legalism versus Religion in a rather intellectual way.
Definitely a 5/5 stars rating.
But definitely not for the faint-hearted.
And its geared more towards a religion-based point of view so not all may understand it.

Well this year i feel water bomb's gotten alot more fun.
Manfred got to be the mop.
YZ got jacked by Jit Hin and Paris.
Jun Wen and the pee bomb.
We rammed into exco's base 5 times.
Including the last successful attempt during the free for all.
Oh and there was a manhunt too.
XK manhunt hahaha.
Ok i must admit it was a little mean.

Oh well the rest of the camp after that was movie, Halo and more Halo.
Ok part of it included some funny tp videos.
Cepheus talked to the Exco's on the last day.
I thought it was really a crucial talk in really helping to remind all of us.
Of iMedia.
Of our CCA.
Of our passion.
How once we used to freely exchange insults without hurting the other party.

Well i still hate politics.

But the fact is, we all have to get over ourselves eventually.
Don't let selfishness and self-generated opinion affect and strain relationships with each other.
Its good to view things with an open mind.
Not judging is good too.



Ok on a lighter note, the aluminum foil caught fire at the steamboat place we were eating during Outreach today.
Funny stuff, ok ok its dangerous.
And i came in first in Daytona. Bwahahahhahaha.

Ok time to catch some sleep.

Song of the Day: I'll Be There For You (Friends Theme) - The Rembrants

Walking the Narrow Road

Last few days were rather boggling and my body says "I'm tired."

Well but they were pleasant memories all around.

Friday was the pre-teacher's day celebration.
And i thought i was doing some dedication programme, but was cancelled 'cos we couldn't find the jack to XLR (male) input cable.
Dam i just realised we should used the monitor speaker wire plus a converter.
Oh well.

80% of my readers wouldn't be able to understand this mumbo jumbo anyway haha.
OK i might be wrong.

So pre-teacher's day was aye ok.
Plain-sailing but not exceptional.
Hall programme i would say, intresting at least.
Band performances are always intresting to listen to.

SJAB band was rather weird with side performances and marching, music satisfactory?

Bobo's band was a lil' down standard. Cos of amps i suppose. Bobo got some mini yamaha amp while he's playing lead. Lol.

Shaun Paul's band was IMO the best out of the lot. Decent.


So after settling some logistics in the studio, went back to ATS.
Very bad turnout i guess.
Hardly anyone.
So we visited Mdm Cheng.
Us = Ryan, Ke Jing, Aden, Ky, KG, WJ and me lor.
Not lor mee.

Ok i guess most of the time we were stoning around and talking.
Rubix is some hardcore trend spreading to hell' lot of schools.

Left ATS around 1.40pm.
So later walked out with Ky and KG.
Went to find Angus, no one at home.

Walked together and KG went home.
Ky and me continued walking and took a bus at the golf course bus-stop.
He went home while i went back to school.

Soccer outside studio while interview going on. O.O
Left school and went to eat.
Talked about alot of things.
Mainly about interview and camp. Argh politics.
Went home to change for CG.

Well for once i wasn't late.



Saturday - Happy Teacher's Day!

Message was really good.
Walking on the narrow path, there are few.
Well it really redefined the meaning of a true believer for me.
And I'm making my mark to be one.

After service fellowship was kinda rushy.
I had to chiong my ban mian 'cos everyone was leaving kind of early.
Cos Ivan, Davin, Desiree and me went to buy bubble tea for the rest.
Nearly ten cups and the waiting time is super long.

Jonathan and Me spoiled a N112 picture!
HAHAHA



Sunday - Finale on SOTM and SOT Graduation Service
Last message on SOTM.
I guess it pretty much sums up everything.
It was very short.
But sufficient and effective in wrapping up the whole chapter.
Well today marks the start of the different me.
Or rather the changing me.


Jamming tomorrow.
Somehow i feel a lil' tired.
My flesh says "No."

Does my spirit ever listen to my flesh?
"No."

Song of the Day: Face Down (Acoustic) - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Happy Teacher's Day

Today was quite short.
Lessons-wise, its the last day of school!

All the funny stuff happens after school.
In the studio, nothing much going on 'cos about half the people in the hall doing teacher's day rehearsal.

Went to mac lab for general meeting.
Listening to songs through my ipod on the mac WHEN Lin De had to accidently pull my ipod wire instead of the keyboard wire.

*Pause*

Ok this time i really lost my cool and sweared.
ALL MY iPOD SONGS WERE GONE

"Lin De WTF did you just do!?"

Ok i managed to get over it somehow when the fact that it was still usable even after that little episode relieved me.
Warranty expiry date: 1/8/07

Well all i can say is PRAISE GOD!

Later Manfred wanted to use remote desktop to check what the juniors were doing.
When we couldn't crack the code, Ervin came and typed it.
Ok so later he closed it.
Then i tried without blinking or thinking.

*Pause*

*WT....*
Ok somehow i managed to crack it.
And we were all laughing 'cos it was like some sudden shock.

Manfred and Lin De were desperate to know the password from me.
Ervin just LOL'ed.


Tomorrow is going to be a full day of celebrations i guess.

And i'm going to be REALLY busy tomorrow.

First have to reach school early setup in GO.
Doing dedications for teachers O.O
Songs all from my library muwahahha.
Ok no metal and techno allowed.

So i just hope i'll be able to do a good job.
No script, no pre-recording.
Oh well, as Andrew would have said, "Aiya I'm doing impromtu!"

Song of the Day: Yellow - Coldplay

Blind Typing

Ok i'm typing this whole post while not looking at anything. Soif it screws up it ain't my fault!
But of course even if it is perfect, you couldn't tell a diff anyway.
Yz and I have just invented a few ways to train to be an accountant/clerk/typist.
This is definitely hot stuff to train.

Also typing skrawkcab is another gay thing to do.
Try to decipher haha!
Hmmmm....

Ok that's about.

Oh yeah, there's nothing new.
I'm being sacrastic. Haha.

Faith?

God, I need some self-discipline in my life.
Its 3 weeks to Final-Years and my revision well?
Its not even up and going yet.

The pace the others are building scares me.
6 A1s, 5 A1s, 4 A1s.
I wouldn't say envy, admiralty would be a better word.

Frankly i've had second thoughts about my life as a Christian.
Is it all worth it when in the end everyone still wounds up getting MUCH better results.

A lil' more reasoning would come to the conclusion that I need to spend the rest of my time outside church activities STUDYING.
With this i guess it makes much more sense.

Its about time to get up and put that gear to full throttle.
There's not much time left.
But in God I trust. Still.

Mrs Tan PMS'ing. Guess she really can't stand people who hand up HW late.
Ed Yong chionging temperature.

Speaking of temperature. Somehow or another, with the sudden arrival of two special guests in our school has the temperature going up even if it was freezing in the morning.
Manfred dosen't need alcohol to get high in the morning now.
Yeo PP's niece and one brit blonde in 3-8.
Somehow there's many passerbys around that class today.
HAHA

Arctic Monkeys are chillin' good.
Today went to buy bamboo poles for camp.

Air refresher too lol.
Dribbled in tracking room with socca' ball.
Ervin hum then ask us go outside.
Lol.
Tried the milk trick again.
All we got were 2 packets of yogurt.
Oh well.
Better fix that before camp.

That's about a week away.

Song of the Day: Old Yellow Bricks - Arctic Monkeys

Its been a week since i've blogged hahaha.
Somehow i just can't get down with the time to blog.
Maybe i just miss it sometimes haha.
Thanks to avid readers like Peck Hui[Honourable mention siah lah] who keep my blog alive while i'm away haha.

Had 2 bowls of laksa on satuday.
Actually it was one and a half.
Katong laksa seh! Don't play play!
Shioking sia with two spoons of chilli sauce.
It was more than that thanks to Colby and Davin.
But it wasn't hot, seriously.
ITS SHIOK

And as Davin missed the cockroach with his stamping feet, i back-swept it towards Bao Juan and Joan.
I was rewarded with a pair of shrill screams.
Slammed a hi-five with Harvee in the air.


Today was flag day.
Or supposedly it was.
I reached C.K. Tangs 1 hour later than scheduled.
So went to meet Darryn and we went to collect money until about 1pm.
I must say today's crowd wasn't that appeasing compared to the crowd last saturday.
Many people were unwilling to give.
However, those that did, gave rather generously.

So went to Cineleisure to eat.
Met Sunny, Ala, Kai Sheng, John and Leonard there.
Met up with Perry, Shawn, Box, Khee Ern, Gideon, Darren, Sei Yee and decided to go Suntec for a movie.
Well i thought there was a GV there.
So we took the train.
While walking up to the bridge to Suntec, Jun Hui joined us.
Khee Ern and me were walking faster than the rest.
So we were walking near to the end of the exhibition tower when we realized no one was behind us!
Oh and we were playing a game along the way, naming shops as we walked.

We reached the cinema.
And to our sheer amazement, it wasn't GV, it was Eng Wah.
Ok i admit i have a bad memory.
So we sat around and finally decided to watch License to Wed.

I must say its really a good movie.
Robin Williams proved yet again that his antics were more than enough to get the crowd laughing.
And that little boy kind of cute in a humourous way.
Minister-in-training haha!
Its one real romance comedy that does really make you think twice about getting into a relationship.
Plot-wise, it isn't really that good, honestly.
Theme-wise, it was great.
I liked the Jamacian and JC joke the best!

Rating?
I would say: 4/5 stars.

So then we chionged off to return the cans and went to eat at Taco Bell at Shaws.
Darren, Gideon and Sei Yee went off first.
So left Perry, Darryn, Khee Ern, Box, Shawn and me.
And we were talking about Grad Night, past, present, future.
Also a whole lot of other bullshit.
And Perry is now obsessed with wanting to watch Hairspray.
Through this flag day somehow i've finally managed to find a bond with my 3-4 mates.
Yep, it was a fruitful expedition.


So now might be planning for a shooting outing with the artsy people in the cell group as suggested by Jonathan.
Maybe during the hols, and definitely after Chinese O's.
And i realised one thing about the importance of framing your videos and pictures while looking at the mirror while in the bathroom.

Don't force to people to see what they can't see. Make them see what they thought they couldn't see.

300TH POST

Whew! Its my 300th post already!
Time really flies when you have a blog haha.

On another note i've haven't watched 300 yet thought i have the movie already.

Ok so anyway i just did this quiz from a link at Xing Yu's blog.
Interesting stuff but sadly i think its very hard to tell if its correct.
Anyway her goes:

YOUR REPORT CARD:
Category	Grade
Love	C
Friends and Family	A+
Body	B
Mind	A+
Finance / Career	B
Your Life's Average Grade: A
'What is your Life Grade?' at QuizGalaxy.com

Yep and i must reiterate that its not ACCURATE.

Went for service on sat AND sun.
Haha love Joyce Meyer.
She's really, really good.

I mean her messages are personal, yet touching and able to reach out to many people at the same time.
It gives people the feeling that they can somehow be in her shoes.
I think that's 'cos her analogies are pretty good.
Her statements as well.

If there's two things i've learnt its:
1) Live in today! Don't waste 'today' by worrying about tomorrow.
2) A good measure of Love is how you treat people that are not important to you

Yep and cg bbq on friday was mad!
The fire is very very very hot.
One whole box of fire starters was used!
That was maddening! Really huge bonfire was started instead of some lukewarm bbq fire. Check out the dancing flames:



Haha that was one hell of a bbq.
And i must take off specs to take pictures!
Reflective index of my glasses causes internal reflection back to the camera thus my eyes become much like an Angel's.
Pure light. LOL.

Song of the day: Love Will Keep Us Alive - Eagles

Resolved the friendster bug already.
"Saviour of the soul" huh.
I guess in a way its much better if half the world spent lesser time on friendster and more time on more fruitful things instead.
Somehow i didn't feel total hatred for this person who created this bug.
Frankly i was just real irritated.

Benny and Jun Yong came back to school today.
Haha for some reason Benny was able to unite the 2-5 people at one table with his grand entrance.
I think he's matured in his thoughts much more than before, in that sense its good but i pray that he won't go down the wrong path again.

Well as for Jun Yong haven't seen him much since this morning.
Still giving me the looks everytime he sees me.
Well I don't blame him, not anyone at all.
Its been quite some time since then.
I'd never quite forget that incident, but i've decided to let it go.
I don't know how you feel but i guess a relationship won't work unless both parties agree to it.
How i'd wish it were like the past.
But no, All i can say is, are you willing to start over?

Played soccer outside studio and Joshua made a personal statement with the exit sign.
Now its dangling in mid air with one of its poles de-attached from it.

Today tilt the machine again and 6 bottles of choco milk haha.
Gotta stop that.

I passed NAPFA with two hours of sleep!
Praise God!

I think i'm becoming a coffee addict.

Watched Shaun of the Dead in the studio today.
One hilarious movie.

I think i'm out of brain juice to blog about anything else.

Oh yeah during today's presentation WHICH I SLAVED THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE MORNING, well we didn't finish it in time haha.


Song of the Day: Slide - Goo Goo Dolls

881

Ok short post 'cos its about 3.45am in the morning.
Finished physics project around 3.20am.

Just had to make a short note in my blog haha.

881 was great. Caught it last friday.
Royston Tan had some great framing techniques.
I especially liked the framing technique he used where the guy went to sell his chicken.
I thought that part was kind of touching.

Overall i would say it is a VERY GOOD LOCAL film.
And the theme is well built in a very singaporean way.
Imagine the look on my face when i saw old people in the cinema getting up to leave after the movie ended!
Haha no i wasn't that surprised actually.

The movie release is just right, a week before the real seventh lunar month.(About there lah.)
There are sure alot of great films to catch this month but i would strongly recommend 881 as one of the MUST-CATCH movies.

Verdict? 5 out of 5 stars.

Song of the Day: Slide - Goo Goo Dolls

Some little extracts from my audio sensory device.

"You're Virgo?"
"No Libra, that's why I always say the correct thing!"

Haha that's true.

"You don't have the Poly face, I think you have the JC face. People also say i have the JC face."
"Oh. But can have the JC face but got the Poly heart."
"Sure anot? Poly people don't wash their hands before they eat."


"You'll don't know what is happening don't judge ok. Just like how you don't judge Sun."
"What has Sun got to do with all this?"


"Aye auntie, wo yao transfer cell group liao."
"Really ah. Why? Lao le ah."


"The cowboy ah i thought is wave the flag and shout 'wooowoooowooo' but then ah its *Chicok chicok chicok Piang! Piang! Piang!* "


"Then you kage bunshin lah."
"Huh what kage bunshin?"

Happy Birthday Singapore!

Wow our nation's already 42 years old!
Haha I'm at least older than a quarter of her already.
About one-third haha.

Went out to celebrate my grandma's birthday today.
Had some vegetarian food at thompson area, sin ming there.
Long time since i've seen all my cousins(mother's side) gathered as one again.

And went out shopping later and bought a new pair of shoes.
Yay!
Wanted to use the shopping vouchers my ex-cell group gave me for my birthday haha.
Would have gotten 2 new pairs if not for the latter, which didn't have an approriate size for me because it was out of stock for that size.
Anyway still happy :D

Song of the Day: Sum 41 - Over My Head

National Day Celebration

I didn't really feel like posting haha.
Just felt very tired and everything in this past week.


Today's national day celebration was quite short(:
Marching by UGs.
Wushu performance.
Modern Dancers dancing.
CHMA Finalists singing.
And ICE CREAM!

Went Darryn house after that, but surprisingly never pool'ed lol.


Punk rock week with Busted and Blink-182 mass spamming on my playlist.

Its like some time since i've heard Busted's album A Present For Everyone.

I'm not going to be Hua Peng and post videos on my blog, no offence haha.

But my blog can't really view a copied youtube video with right dimensions anyway.
But if you have time, and you really dig FallOut Boy, McFly, Sum 41 or (for some reason)Simple Plan, Busted and Blink-182 are two additional bands to add to your punk rock library collection.


Song of the Day: That Thing You Do - Busted

I accidently drank a sip of lime concentrate and now the sour taste still lingers in my mouth.

Some cool stuff to find out morea bout yourself, well if you really need it that is.
Here goes!

http://noracom.net/eng/fortune/color_cheki1.php

So i tried it and here's the list for my personality. I wonder if it could be identified by you? Haha


You are Blue Tiger, whose ways of talking is very noble and have a rock-steady stance.
This may make other people feel you are a difficult person to get to know.
But you can make peaceful personal relationships with anyone, and are a person of good balance.
You associate people with broad mind.
But at the same time, you are making your own judgment on personal criticism.
You are very diplomatic person.
You don't notice nicety in people, and tend to reason personal relationships with theory.
You don't fear having relationships with others, and can have relationship with anyone.
You are a very popular person.
But you sometimes worry about whether a person you are going out with is really in love with you.
You can plan things with extreme preciseness, and can act as planned by looking ahead of the times.
Though, you sometimes feel you want to be more adventurous.
You think positively on everything.
You don't get things down on you.
And even if you do get down, you can recover from that situation fast.
You are very fair.
You can be an ideal boss.
You would be endeared by those who are strong-minded.

Post 290

I've been noticing how i always fail to post from mid-week onwards.

Another busy week passes by.
Ok this week was quite slack, i was slacking a lot for the most of this week.

Gan Qing Gu Xiang on friday was quite boring but i thought the english drama was good.

And Happy Birthday to Kah Koon(4/8/07)!

Sat went for Festival Of Praise at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The best ever!
The whole mood and setting was just great.
Managed to catch the LAST SHUTTLE BUS, TRAIN and PUBLIC BUS on the way home.

Haha Thank God for that.
Managed to catch the last train with Kah Koon, Ivan, Tawan and Clement on Friday as well.

Well, heck sure it couldn't have been coincidence.

There's school tomorrow but its going to be a fantastic week with all the holidays lining up.
Finally, time to catch up on my sleep.

On a personal note, someone tell me what love is.

Song of the Day: God Is Smiling Over Us Tonight - Delirious (LIVE)

Happy Birthday to Ham,
Happy Birthday to Ham,
Happy Birthday to Marcus,
You're finally 11 now.

Today's assembly was damn own.
The musicians were really good.

Wrecking havoc in studio again.
Left around 4.40 with Manfred.
He was going tuition and i was going BS at Plaza Sing.

Came home and went to AMK hub with my family to celebrate my brother's birthday.
Fish & Co.
Yummy stuff and fills easily 'cos of the butter, cheese and fried skin that my new york fish & chips had.
Not cheap though.

The Key Story

Praise God today for giving me guidance today to FIND the STUDIO KEY in the 'jungle'.
"Jungle" was coined by Ming Xuan.
So anyway how did i end up searching for the damn key in the first place?

A quiet afternoon was eminent on the fifth floor of cat high. Quite a rare sight to behold given this period of time in the afternoon.
Strolling past one empty classroom after another, I stopped short in front of class 3-8, noticing that it was Mr 'Ting' not Mr 'Teng' who was relieving the class as i originally thought.
As i walked towards the far end, Micheal gave me the sign. I removed the thought producing a similar action from my mind, and took out my favorite past-time handheld console and clicked it into action.
I was over absorbed into it when Michael beckoned me 3 times, i failed to notice him. Desperate, he threw the key, attempting to land it on the floor.
The key did a double somersault as it bounced from the floor, narrowly passed through a slit on the cold, hard stone parapet, and sailed 2 metres into the air, and fell practically a long way down to the 1st story.
This was followed by a certain number of blank stares, vulgarities and mouths which hung soundlessly agape.

After a fifteen minute search, i finally found the key.
Under the leaf of a plant, tricky.
Oh well its times like this that make life all the more interesting to live for.

Song of the Day: Lying From You - Linkin Park

If there's one thing i learned today, its God is always only a prayer away.

Its been some time since i've blogged.
Thanks to all my Faithful readers, some of you tag and some of you don't but still thanks for helping to keep it alive over this past week haha.

But now common tests are over!
YAY!
Still have final years but stow that thought away for a moment.
Taking a short break before really chionging studies.
I'm going to make it to the physics billboard ok.

I forgot the purpose of this entry already, so i'll just use it to make a record of the things that happen the last few days.

Wednesday recess was really memorable cos we snatched woon ngiap's phone.
Then once when he tried to snatch from linde, he threw to me and my catch like slipped and it bounced once...............twice..........................thrice in the AIR then LANDED on one of the cushions of chairs at the student lounge.

THANK GOD IT DIDN'T DROP ONTO THE FLOOR.

Just in case you were wondering which phone model was it:
N73 music ed.

Jit and me spilled manfred's anything onto the gym's bench while playing with one of those giant relax balls.
Taupok-ed Manfred five times later in studios.
Pillow frisbee nearly ended up in the destruction of the only mood light stand in the studio.
And now frenster is some search site for eye-candy.


Sat service was very very good.
I got delivered! Yes.

Okay going to hardcore FFT next few days 'cos i feel like restarting my account. Going to trade some stuff to Mooris's account tomorrow.

Song of the Day: Great is Our God - Rendition by City Harvest Church

If everyday you learn 10 new things, in a month you've known 300 new things.

God is not short of talented people, He's looking for the motive in using that talent.

TEST WEEK

Common test week so little to talk about.

JK and YZ were looking all over for a damned ping pong ball in the studio and gave up 5 minutes later.
At around 4.45pm John picked up a white ping pong ball from underneath the sofa.

CONCLUSION: Studio needs a real tidying up.

SS and CHEM tomorrow.
And i thought Mole wasn't going to be tested.
Only 2 hours left. Praise God.

Some random jokes YZ and me invented while chatting.


Q: Why can't you drive a white car to school?
A: 'Cos you bai car.

Q: Why is buying a BMW like buying a two-seater?
A: Boh Meng Weah

Q: Why did the Jap call his car?
A: "Ni-SAN!"

Q: Which car makes the loudest sound?
A: Horn-DA

Q: Which car did the bookie buy?
A: Mercedes BenZ

God works in miraculous and works in unexpected ways.
He's brilliant :D

"Potter?"

Today was very very slack. Basically had no lessons at all.
Shan Wei, Jit Hin and me were doing assembly duty.
So left class at 10.50am, the only other time i went back was to grab my bag to go j8.

Well its almost a year since the Goblet of Fire came out and i thought it was the best among the Harry Potter series of movies.
Just caught the Order of the Phoenix today with teh cell group peoplez.

The aircon was cold. Brrr.
But Darryn and me made the cinema our home haha!
Kiao ka like no one's business.
Joy's contact dropped out while into the first hour of the movie!

The movie was overall great, but i felt it lacked something.
Effects were much better this time, almost comparable to spiderman 3.
The only thing i felt that was not really good was the scene they took when Harry and the Order of the Phoenix people where they flew past the buildings in London and all, I felt the scene wasn't used as much as it should have been.

Rating? 4 out of 5 stars.

Additional 1 star for Evanna Lynch. :D

How'd you know if you're swearing too much?
When you don't stop to pause to add vulgarities in every sentence you say.

Man its almost a month, gotta stop.

Short Insights

Remade my frenster profile.
Noticed the new firefox has auto spell checker which is good.

Still alot to learn about being acupoint.
I think i'm either too slack or assume too much.
Oh well but its a helluva better than that time when i had to do zone AND acupoint.

Made some new friends and knew some better.
Yeah i think that part on my goal card is fufilled.
Gotta work on the others still, be a good finisher (:

Interesting things during fellowship today.
My packet of food can fly.
Melvin(another member) killing ants. LOL.
Skeenies.

Oh well i think i'll go sleep.
Suddenly everywhere there's angels.
Wilbur releases an album called City Of Angels.
Goo Goo Dolls did that long ago.
Rainmaker has that same phrase.
Jessica Simpson's rendition of Angels was great.

There must be something God's trying to tell me but i don't know what. Yet.

Songs of the Day: Iris - Goo Goo Dolls, Angels - Jessica Simpson

Today was slack.
Prefect investiture cuts away chem period wahaha.
Then jamming at studio.
Seriously YZ should be my guitarist HAHA.
I can't keep up with Michael.

Went to find timo, kimberly they'll at library.
Later Joy came.
Lol i was playing guitar haha.
Lucky its electric.

Suddenly i have the urge to get hold of a giant flamethrower and burn the world.

I think people who are nonsensical can be rather creative in a way.
Especially people who bullshit till there's no one else that can be just like them.
I mean you'd think that whatever that comes out from their mouth is all nonsense but if you look at it in a way, sometimes it takes some creativity to twist it into another perspective to direct at whoever's listening.
Especially if it is to attract attention.

Looking for bassists!

Song of the Day: Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple

Blasting in control room.

I saw the ugliest krumpler bag today.
It looked like this:



Forgot totally what i wanted to blog.
Anyway today was dam slack, ponned lessons after end of recess to rewire hall and pack up studio.
Both places were in a mess.
Ok maybe only the studio 'cos literally stuff was everywhere.

CHMA Trivial

Some TRUE bits of CHMA trivia:

7 months of hard work.
7 weeks of rehearsals after the auditions.
7'teen hours non-stop work on the day itself
7'teen songs including Mark's performance.
7.7.07
7.35pm (Delay mah)

7 Nation Army


One iMedia.

After this year's CHMA, i've felt all the work put into it is really worth the effort.
So aside from the many jokes, the iMedia crew have once again stepped up another plate.
Video Crew, Audio Crew, Lighting Crew, Stage Design Crew, Photog Crew(Zhong Wei one man show) and the Stage Crew.
Nothing would be possible without everyone's effort.
Anyway i won't be commenting on the show 'cos i really can't see anything from back stage. At least not from the audience's point of view that is.
But you still can always get the DVD (:

Many thanks to all who made this year's CHMA possible.

CHMA

ORAL FCUKING OVER!

And CHMA'S A HUGE SUCESS!!

CHINESE ORAL

In about 14 hours i'll be getting ready to take my chinese oral.
Oh yah must remember to bring all the verification shits.

I've been on a vulgar spree lately.
I think 'cos its near CHMA.
But seriously should cut down on it.

I've found another 5 ways to piss people off. Here goes the list:

1) Take freaking long to get down to the studio when you're the only one with the key.
2) Make one of John's drumsticks seem like its missing.
3) Talk about LHB in front of SLC.
4) Play the two drum sets simultaneously while everyone's talking in the tracking room.
5) Play Seven Nation Army whenever you have the chance.

Song of the Day: Time is Running Out - Muse

Indeed time is running out.

Rehearsals today dam own.
The whole crew was pawning the whole show.
No major screw-ups.
No LAST-MINUTE TECH RUN SOMEMORE.

All the contestants were pretty good.
Shao xian abit off key.
Qi Ren still can't reach high notes.

Bands were ok.
Tony's band improved.
BoBo's band was pretty good, Franz Ferdinadzzzzzz.
Brian Wong's band wasn't up to standard today. Think 'cos of the pedal boards.

Then later got guest performance.
PIJ OWNS
Ming Xuan on steroids.
Feng Heng on drugs.
Lead singer cannot be seen.

Suddenly i find life very much like a hurricane.
Plucking you off your roots and then you revolve round and round waiting to be released only to find yourself right in the middle of nowhere.

One miserable misguided soul plunged into a sea of uncertainty.

Is material gains and social status what we're really after all our lives?

Even so, no one will still then be contented.

So anyway went to Darryn house to do the passion portfolio video.
Haha had fun.
Played pool too.
And abit of maple. Now 50%.

Drums in school, guitar at home.
Hot liao.

I'm sure i've seen Blogs with passwords but this takes the cake.

Oh ya the url in my earlier post was my own reference to the geog thing this morning haha.
YES i abuse the coms during lesson time.

Song of the Day: Supermassive Blackhole - Muse.

Today is officially Muse day!

Margt sent me Blackholes And Revealations the full album.

YZ wanted SuperMassive BlackHole.

My cousin sends me another 3 Muse songs.

ipod has Muse on playback.

I think i'm addicted.

B Blues

I think i've got a case of the B Blues cos suddenly i'm missing great bands like Blink 182 and Busted.

Listening to Muse after Margt sent me the album Blackholes and Revelations
Thanks Margt!

So went for tuition, surprised to see Nicole there haha.
She said half her face was sunburnt, but i couldn't see 'cos of her fringe.
I guess that's why the fringe is there too lol.
But her new tan is nice.

Going Eng tuition soon.

HOMEWORK has just pawned Mel for 200 extra gold!
HOMEWORK is UNTOUCHABLE!

Yeah i haven't touched it yet.

The Secret?

Ok today had tech run and i overslept again 'cos i didn't want to wake up to the alarm.
SO anyway when i've reached, Ervin was later.
YES I'M EARLY

Manfred was showing Henry the secret lol.
Its on youtube for you guys out there who don't know what it is.
I'm not that nice to give you the link either. :P

Then went to jam the drums awhile before Ervin came.
When he did, we had to move a ton of stuff to the hall.

I carried Smarvo amp while Manfred and Ervin carried Peavey amp and i overtook them lol.

Basketballers using hall.
Setup equipment just about 10.30am.
Then don't know why waited so long before the bands started their rehearsal.

Rehearsal finally started around 11am.
Bryan Wong's band was not bad, except for their ending, which was a little weak haha.
Bo Xian's band er, wasn't so good.

Later we closed curtains and walked to j8 to eat.
Then Michael, Manfred, Ervin, Shan Wei pangseh us go foodcourt.
So Henry, Hua Peng, Jerold, Donovan, Yin Zheng and me went Long John.

Long John was having this promotion on the shrimp+chicken combo and if you upsize the drink you get scratchcards that could win prizes.
So i ordered the meal but didn't want the upsize cos i wanted to buy MILO PACKET from bishan market.
So Henry, YZ and me ate the meal and only YZ got upsize x2 to large drink so got 2 scratch cards.

Then later YZ like trying to act out The Secret and said, "Ah this one ipod nano 4GB."

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

*Scratch*

"WTFF IPOD SHUFFLE 1GB WTFF!!!!" - Me

The second card was "Thank you for playing."

Everyone at the table was kind of shocked.
I mean seriously what were the chances haha?

Everyone started talking about it haha.
Jerold and Henry were whining about how they could've won the shuffle instead if they had upsized their drink instead.
Jerold thought that the serial numbers were in sequence but they weren't.
Then they started talking about The Secret again lol.

Later when we finished eating, Henry said he was super thristy after glancing at his empty drink and said,

"I should have UPSIZED my drink."

I just LOL'ed.
In fact everyone did.

Later when we went back hall, after buying bubble tea and i finished my milo packet.
Michael just didn't believe YZ won lol.

Later did tech run and our 30 second clear-up was more than screwed.

Moved everything back to studio.
Manfred seemed quite pissed 'cos everyone was slacking around while he was the only one clearing up.
Oh yah and i think he had tuition close to four or five.
So i finally stopped talking and helped him.
And managed to get the others too, Ervin had already made several trips back and forth.
Then later when we went studio, they slacked inside again lol.
Left Manfred, Ervin and me who went up to clear the hall.
OMG 3 PEOPLE CLEAR THE HALL HAHA.
After donovan took the bass drum down *round of applause*, equipment check:
- Smarvo Amp
- 2 boxes of wires
- 4 Power Extension cables
- Crash and Ride Cymbals + Stands
- Hall & Studio Keys
- 8 Ball mic
- 2 SM57 mics
- 2 SM58 mics (Condeser Mics)
- Drum Mike Kit
- 2 Mic Stands

Still left in the hall.

Not a lot hor, not alot.
Micheal went LOL went he saw me came in the door of the tracking room.

Later chionged a little physics hw.
Chionged to tuition with Ervin.
Fingernail painting during tuition LOL.
Got a waffle and walked back to school with Erv too.

Drummed abit before going home.

Ok which homework should i start with?

Suddenly i'm quite scared by the amount of pictures my fellow CG members have.

Airport Trip

Went airport in the afternoon to send Wen Hui, Delvina, Daphanie and Kang Wei off to Malang for the mission trip.
Haha they'll be back in a week's time with good reports :P

At first I thought I'll be late when i saw Lena's message and will become Wen Hui's food lol.
Surprisingly, reached there EARLY.

Saw Sharon and Angeline in the same cabin as me when transferring to the train that goes to Pasir Ris.
Then met Jonathan and Amanda while transferring to the train at Tanah Merah.
Haha super qiao.

Then met up with Margaret, Bao Juan and Lena at the MRT outside.
Walked to macs to eat haha, which was very far, like at the other end.
When we went up the escalator, met Calista, whom i've mispronouced her name twice.

Ate at macs, Big Mac upsize siah lah, still felt a little hungry after that.
Margaret couldn't finish lol, cos i think she ate before that.
Talked alot haha but i stayed silent listening.
Gathered alot of info haha.

Later, the missionaries came haha and Kang Wei seemed rather hungry and chionged fries and a drink.
Went up to departure hall where we snapped some pics and did a short prayer.
Haha and later the missionaries took their own sweet time going in while waving at the same time.

Later we went to the viewing gallery. Waited quite long before we saw them again haha.
This time they were on the plane, couldn't REALLY see them but saw a waving hand through one of the windows haha.

So after we split up and took different buses.
And now i know alot more about the cell group haha.

Song of the Day: Drops of Jupiter - Tanya Chua, Train

Personally i like the Train one better.

RedRain 2007

First time been to HoGc's new location.
Sing post became sim post lol
Waited for JK to come, which was around 3+, then chionged with Yi Bin to the church haha.

One big auditorium but i thought the lighting system was rather good.
The cameras they were using were the the long kind i duno called what model de lol.
Just that i know our video uses the same kind.

Sound system blasting into JK right ear. Mine too lol.
Got a while to get into the mood of the concert haha.

Alter call near the end.
The lead singer's really good.

After the concert, JK and me went to grab the special HoGc bibles haha.
Saw *suprise* wei cheng haha!

Met a few new people haha.
Ok everyone was new of course since i didn't know anyone there, except Yi Bin and Ming Yang, whom i met during Emerge.

Got to meet:
- Yi Bin's elder brother, Yi En
- This girl who never stops smiling :D but i don't know her name
- Hui Yi, haha seems to be a good friend of Yi Bin (Guess wrong her age, opps! :P)
- Another random girl that i forgot to ask for her name

Haha i just forget to exchange greetings most of the time.

So after waiting for Yi Bin they'll to finish decorating an album for Pst. How, zhao'ed to mrt while showing them how to get to the 24 bus-stop.

Haha ok thats it!

Wen Hui, Daphanie, Kang Wei and Delphina (is this correct?) flying off tomorrow on mission trip ah.

New CG!

Met all the new CG people and its like WOW alot of new people lah.
And like wad Darryn said, like girl dominating lol.
Last time is guy dominate.
Oh well, nice for a change.

Still miss E342 ah :(

But i guess its time to move on, hopefully everyone else is doing ok too.

Service was good and Pastor was rather funny today haha.

Short post 'cos I think nothing much lers.

If i go to indonesia, i can drive.
WOAH

Song of the Day: Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns & Roses

SHIT i think my bicep muscles are de-gening.

Swelling

Ok its mad to see how much my cheeks actually have swelled up to since the day after the extraction, i mean its like stuffing two tennis balls into each side of my mouth.
Its that big really.

But today i think the left side kind of stopped swelling and became smaller after like 12 or 14 pills of that swelling medicine.
Like spam lol.

Going to tuition in an hours time.
Don't ask me about holiday homework.
I'll tell you, "What holiday?"

Extraction

Had my wisdom teeth extracted in the morning.
The surgery consisted of:
- 4 jabs of something through a super long needle into my mouth.
- two pieces of cotton wool with anestathic on it placed in my mouth to numb it.
- A sawing tool that i could hear and "feel".
- Some hook-like tool to keep my mouth open but i couldn't see it as well.
- Some knocking/cutting tool to extract the tooth.

The last 3 i couldn't see the appratus cos i was er sort of blind folded from nose up.
I think was because to prevent blood from splattering onto my face.

Anyway the anastathic feeling was really numb.
My whole mouth had like no feeling and when i closed and opened it, i couldn't feel my lower jaw.

The sawing part was quite nice compared to the digging/cutting/extraction part.
Cos it felt like something pressing against the tooth and had the sawing sound without the pain.
Cool.

The extraction part could feel something scraping against my lip's edge so not very nice.

Then i think the whole thing was done up pretty quick, like i think half an hour or about 45 minutes.
My mouth was numb.

I become so numb...

Or rather my lower jaw.
Settled the dates and payments then went to taka foodcourt to eat.
By then my left lower jaw was hurting like crazy but my right jaw was like no feeling at all.
After eating, took the painkillers which managed to subdue the pain after about an hour or so.

Reached home after a wet trip buying ham's lunch.
Then GE'ed and now level 24. Fast siah lah.

Hope pain goes away before saturday.
Cos it hurts when i smile xD

Song of the Day: D-technolife - UVERworld

Halo. Gym. Bleach.
That's like the past week of my holidays.

Ok at least last sat went for the photo seminar thing which was kind of fun.
At suntec.
Saw a Moogle and a Sasuke cosplayer together giving out suntec flyers.
Like omg lol.

Then yz mass spammed money into the psp machine LOL.
Roc got to level 4 for House of the Dead 4 with 1 credit.

And the muah chee costs more than $2 lol.

Last sunday meet our new cell group leader, and some of her members too.
Ah at least all the cat high together.
Magaret also lol, she reminds me of a mouse. =X

Today played match with Ao Yang and another team, i think called Punggol Union or something.
Er i guess not bad 'cos we finally won Ao Yang.
But got thrashed 57-37 when played with P.U. lol

Down to last two weeks of hols, don't remind me about homework.

Final Post on Emerge 2007! (Or at the the chronological record of it)

Emerge Session 7: 10.30am-12pm
Didn't make it for the morning session at 10am cos i couldn't wake up on time =X
Then went to queue for the second session.
This service was friendship connection so there would be free Ben & Jerry's!

Emerge Session 8: 12.30pm-2pm
Got seats and only Samuel came while Roll had to serve.
Ban Chuan and his members were sitting with us too.
Surprised to see Sam at the service!
This service was friendship connection too so there was free Ben & Jerry's for the new friends!
Haha but i didn't bring anybody.

Later ate lunch and had to queue SUPER SUPER long for seats.
Everyone was like squeezing and pushing in the line and me and Samuel were playing blackjack while queuing lol.
Then later he stormed the front then got one path then i just follow behind lol.

Emerge Session 9: Finale! 5pm-10pm

This is like the best session of all the Emerge sessions!
Samuel, JK and me camped for seats at Delta while watching the Winning Eleven 8 finals.
Then later service started and it was like the first day 'cos they were broadcasting it LIVE again.
Arm wrestling finals very entertaining haha.
Word was good.
The talentime prizes!
I think the solo vocalist catergory, who i thought should win did.
Bands i guess it was kind of so-so for the result.
Drama haha, expected.
Then later the whole thing ended like around 10+

Rather short 'cos i can't remember everything already haha.
But I think i'll come back and edit once I remember more stuff. (:

MUST GET DVD

Good Day

Today is a very good day.

After two days of pure inactivity, i had to get my bum out around 10.30++ for what i thought was supposed to be physics remedial.
Jie Chou had called me the day earlier and told me there was.
Apparently the school was rather quiet and the only lessons i could see were the sec 4s.
Wondered around school till about 11+ and decided to go home instead of waiting at school.
Oh yeah, helped Hubert get the wires and mic haha.
His reactions real funny and Yong Kang even called him KS.

Met Manfred on the way home too.

Reached home, planned to start quiet time but then went to do some physics MCQ and i'm proud to say i could do 10 without any reference.
Then later don't know why just felt real tired and fell asleep for an hour plus.
The only real time i woke up was during a phone call.
I walked to another room, slept in it for half an hour and realised that the fan in my own room was still on.
Being green-minded, i dragged myself back to my own room and slept till ham came back.
Later read the bible awhile then tried some trick on Halo campaign mission that ham read from the internet.
Didn't work.
Anyway i was waiting for my mum to come back for lunch.
Physics started and 2pm and i waited till about 2.30.

By the time i reached there, it was about 3pm.
And i think Ms Wong just finished one part of the lesson.
When she started the second part i realised that i was without notes!
But i tried to concentrate on the lesson and at the same time, make it rather interesting to the people around me(esp. Manfred) so that i wouldn't fall asleep.
The wave with the fiber optic cable duly caught everyone's attention.
Guess i still have the lightstick/phone/camera phobia.

Later went to play basketball where Yi Bin thrashed Bryan, Xing Yu, Leonard, Kenneth Tan and me 11-4 i think.
Like 5v1 still losezzz.
Then most of them went back to stall leaving Bryan Tan and me training by ourselves.
I mean Bryan is seriously a hard worker, he knows his basketball is not good so he wants to improve it.
That's the spirit! (:

So later, some JC people came to the court and played at the other side.
They came once to ask us to play with them, we declined because we were short of people.
Later Ben lee came and they asked us again.
Well we played and surprisingly, we lost 8-11.
I mean well it was quite and ok score and Ben lee was the top scorer for our team haha.

Moved off to refill water when Ben lee invited me to go into the stall.
When i did, Yi Bin was kind of shocked, but he told me in a rather pleasant way to get out.
Of course i had failed to notice their Sir in the room so sorry guys.
Went to slack in the studio as John lamented about his broken skateboard wheel axle.
Later zhao'ed back out 'cos it was 6+ already.

Talked with the NPs awhile.

Super Happy part.
NAPFA (End of April) - Pull Ups = 0
Thurs 7/6/07 - Pull Ups = 2

Aiming by next year NAPFA to do 10 (:

Reached home, bathed, ate ALOT, then went to tuition.
Surprised to see Terence there.

My song of the day is not the Click Five's - Good Day haha.

Song of the Day: Dirty Little Secrets - All American Rejects


And now continuing with final Emerge post tomorrow!

Emerge 5

Sat 2/6/07 - Talentime Finals.

Chionged to church to watch the talentime finals while waiting for usher to start.
Contestants really good.
I would say the standard is much higher than that of CHMA, of course there is a difference in the age as well as gender alike.
Not that it is alot haha.

Later, was scheduled to usher charlie terrace.
Before that, arranged arena chairs, then went to terrace to wait just as the flow came in.
At first I was doing zone usher and taking attendance for CT01, then later change of plans and became Cyndy's runner.
Had to upkeep the number of empty seats in each zone of the terrace.
So passed the attendace slip to Elisha to handle.

Before service, there were lots of scenarios where people were booking seats and others were unhappy.
Er, i guess sometimes people just refuse to sit somewhere else.
But Charlie's got the best view so i guess there's gonna be fights for the seats there.
Managed to resolve one or two cases i think, but they still wanted to sit at charlie.
Later Pei Fun came and told us that there was actually a family looking for seats but could not get any so she came and debriefed us about it.
Ok gotta improve on that.

By worship, the terrace was full up.
Very good ah, takes a whole load of pressure off my back.
Managed to enjoy service in a seat somewhere in CT03.
Looks like not ALL the seats have been filled haha.

Yeah and later was more exciting, Liu Geng Hong and Wayne were upstage doing a song which i cannot remember due to my poor memory.
But it was good.
He did something shocking as well but i'm not going to put it online, for those who just can't keep your curiosity at bay, arm your handphones, spam my tagbox and nudge me on msn!

Celebrated Sun's birthday too!
Super cool i tell you.

Alter call for all the international delegates.
Really strong presence of God there and then.
I can't believe i actually cried during worship, i thought i had already long forgotten how to cry.
I haven't broke down in a long time.
At least not for the reason of being so touched.
The last time i did was how long? Like 9 years ago?
I'm serious, i don't even break down during funerals.
Definitely it was a touch from God that taught me how to cry again.
There is definitely something special here as I can sense.

So after service, helped to collect the attendance slips and passed to Cyndy who i could tell has had a long, long day.
Took the bus ride home with Shi Lin and Hui Hui back to AMK to eat.
The zhao'ed as they both took cab home 0.0

Emerge 6 upcoming!

Emerge Sessions 3-4

Ok slept from 3am to 2pm++
Feeling much more energised after charging battery.

Emerge Session 3: 1/6/07 10am-1pm

Initially i thought i couldn't come for this one 'cos i thought the stage crew camp was on thurs night.
But it was to be on fri night so i could come yay!
Met Nathan then walked in to find Daniel for our seats.
Another talentime finalist.
Forgot her name but i remembered she did a really good rendition of 'A Moment Like This".
Then were the Math Olympiad finals. Its mad lah. The MC haven't finish reading out the question then they answer and correct somemore.
Prizes dam shioking, first prize $1k. Second $800. Third $600.

Later Nathan had to zhao early so Rolland, Daniel and me went to eat lunch at expo.
Later we were joined by Timothy(not tljj).
Rolland had to go off to see a friend who gained an injury during POS and Timothy was still doing some stuff at the foodcourt so Daniel and me went to slack at hall 7.
Played 2 games of pool. Both he ownded me lol.
First game i wasn't really playing at all 'cos like the easiest i still miss. 6-0 ball count.
Second was better, but still lost. 3-0.
There was one shot that was crazy, i accidently whacked the white ball into a jump ball, it hit a brown ball and it flew into a diagonal hole after bouncing off a yellow stripped ball near the diagonal hole.
Then went to watch the Beauty Pagent and ManHunt finals. Haha nothing to do while waiting for usher to begin.
Only watched the street wear and nightgowns/suits segment then had to zhao.
Hotties? I would say a few haha but i'm not the judge.

Emerge Session 4: 6pm-10pm++

External traffic again.
Did the parking lots and i'm in charge of like the main VIPs lots which if i remembered correctly, all are Pastors' lots?!
Like wow hah.
Got to sort of confirm the myth of Pst. Kong being super tall.
He's like half a head taller than me.
Worked with the maths olympaid winner!
Didn't know he was in usher haha :D
Plus he's only 13.
Could hear the results of the Beauty Pagent and Manhunt from outside lol.
Finished around 7+ and finally went in for service, man my legs were killing me, standing there from 4+ onwards.
Got to know more people too (:

Service was SUPER!
Like i think this nights' service was the best in terms of 'special' performances.
PROJECT SUPERSTAR Di Ya and Darren gave a performance with much enthusiasm from the crowd.
Everyone was waving light sticks/handphones/even cameras!?

Super cool message too.
Spelling bee finals was kind of funny to watch haha.

After that went out to keep the external traffic stuff before chionging to the buses with two other fellow ushers, Jason and the other guy i forgot who(x

Reached bishan interchange and walked back to school while having my dinner.
12am? Timely dinner i suppose.
Reached the main gate of school and passed it by 'cos i thought it was locked.
Walked back to whitley court and saw like 20+ people there playing/watching soccer lol. At midnight too.
Then went to the wall and got into the other side and strolled to the studio.
Very nice.
Aside from some rather inapprioriate jokes, went through the backstage plan for CHMA and then we all went out for supper.
Had 1 piece of egg prata and some ngoh hiang.

Later walked back to studio while Mr Wang cabbed back home.
Nearly bought like one whole carton of milo till i found out it cost almost $15 plus for the whole thing.
Later wanted to watch hell night(NCC Air) but only left Manfred, the rest of rest grew tired of waiting.
Slept around 3 and woke up around 9.
Introduced the 'zune zucked' video to Ervin and i could tell it brightened up his day.

Session 5 in next post.

Emerge Sessions 1-2

I'm back from Emerge people!
If you're asking me what's Emerge, hohoho you've been missing the BIGGEST YOUTH CONFERENCE ever.
Ok maybe i've placed a slight exaggeration.
From more info, please procede to Emerge Main Site for more details.

For the past four days, its been not only a mind-blowing experience, but also a period where i see my spiritual self grow in ways i never knew i could.

The Lord has been good always and all the time the Lord is good.

An example would be my ministry, for those that know my ministry and for those that don't, i'm in the usher ministry and its been heavily taxing on my physical body to come back day after day, waking up so early and going to bed so late.
Haha let's just i'll be dead beat after each session.
In the past, when i first joined the ministry, at times i felt that it was a chore.
Then on sat's service, our IC Pei Fun(i think) said that, "It is actually a priveliege to serve God because God does not really need our help in the first place..."
Well so i guess that must have been something that God has been trying to tell me about ministry, and yesterday, which was the last day of Emerge 2007, i really felt i missed serving haha.
Especially when Samuel, Jia Kiat and me were waiting for seats to be laid, i missed that feeling of being able to serve others then.
Even though it was only for a day.

Also on sat's service, I felt I kind of stepped up a new level, at first i was doing zone attendance.
Then Cyndy asked me to be her runner, and i had to report the number of empty seats after collecting the results from the other zone ushers.
I hope i didn't too sound over-assertive when i asked for the number of empty seats from each zone area usher haha cos i thought i did.
CT06 was having some probelms as there was only 1 usher taking the whole area, but the other ushers that finished filling their areas' seats helped to fished for him.
All in all we managed to fill the entire Charlie Terrace close to the end of the first worship song.
Yay!

Later found out there was one seat not filled(loophole) and had to fill it in CT03 as one of the taiwan delegates weren't there.
Lol.
But still i think we did a good job :D

Ok a breakdown on each Emerge session.

Session 1: 31/5/07 10am-1pm

Opening Session of Emerge!
Didn't make it to queue, but managed to get in.
Heart of God was in the house too. Met Yi Bin as well as some of his friends.
Talentime singer finalist, good singer, must say hairstyle and dressing reminds me of Paul Twohill, the female version haha.
Did a rather loud but powerful rendition of Kelly Clarkson's "Walk Away".
But i think she has a short tongue, Caleb said it was her braces.
Brainest Youth had some technical probs so the questions part was quite messed up in a way.
Message was good.

Went for candlelight lunch with Caleb, Rolland had POS.
Came back and lingered around hall 7, looking at basketball finals. The basketball players really good but i don't know if those playing there were the Tetiary or Secondary catergory.
If it was the later, man its really scary cos their centers all seem to be able to dunk.
Waited for Darryn , Timo and Samuel to reach then pangseh'ed Sam from the queue as i had usher =X
Did external traffic for:

Emerge Session 2: 31/5/07 6pm-11pm++

Traffic flow was ok, no huge overflows.
Made a new friend, fellow usher (:
Later went inside for service, man it was gooooood.
Tank came and sang jie tou ba wang i think.
Faye from F.I.R. came too. But she didn't sing haha.
Good, 'cos i wasn't there to watch Tank sing and i didn't want to miss F.I.R.s' performance either.
Not so good for Cyndy, she was a Tank fan haha.

We couldn't see them then, cos we had to do the signboards for bussing.
There were chatered buses for everyone that would bring them to the various mrt stations. Of course there were a limited number of buses.
So Alwin and me were doing the signboard. We re-did one 3 times and finally got it right on the third time lol.
Who would have thought pasting a few pieces of paper with tape onto a plastic signboard with a long wooden handle would take so long.
We decided to pangseh the job halfway to watch POS lol.
In fact i think almost everyone did haha.

POS was super cool. With all the flies and cheerleading.
Really brings out the unity in the individual clusters.

Message really good.

Bussing was really mad later, my team of 3 were doing the 'West' buses.
Less than half an' hour, all the buses were gone.
Kind of crazy but expected 'cos those buses were going the Jurong areas.
No wonder so hot.
Then went on to help with the 'Central' buses section.
Later, moved some barricades back to logis area before zhao'ing to Foyer 3 to meet Darryn, Shi Lin, Hui Hui and *Surprised look* Shawn.
Ok i didn't know he was coming.
Took a bus ride home where i forgot to tell Shawn to alight for the MRT TWICE. Haha.
Walked Shi Lin home together with Shawn.
While walking past this concrete bridge near bishan park, Shi Lin thought a hand could come out from drain cover, and i thought crocodiles were already a crazy notion.
Later Shawn wanted to cab home so i got a lift home *Twists Fingers with 'yeah' face*

Continue later today 'cos i need my beauty sleep.
Man this is just day 1!
