I see a lot of my friends actually enjoyed themselves in this period of time and the good thing is that I'm equally satisfied especially being able to do the things that I like to and hoping to do when I was mugging for my A' levels.
This few days I've been reaching home after twelve and this says a lot about all the crazy things I've been doing.
My birthday! - Celebrated it with diwei, yuting, huishan, charmine, eric, elvin and adeline. We went to eat my favourite BaGu Xia mian at beach road. We had the royal claypot Fondue from the angmoh dessert which totally rocks la. I really like it! The Chocolate is good stuff man:)
Dinner treat by my bro - We ate at Ding Tai Feng and thereafter Haagen Daz!! We had their fondue too and I actually prefer the one from angmoh dessert more. The Chocolate dip tastes like it's from nutella :( What an irony. However the Ice-cream tastes as good! I especially loved the macadamia nuts one.
Baking session at super sisters' house - It was a last minute plan after Tuanqi to bake cookies for Winchester and Liting's birthday. Quite a lot went and we had fun baking and "learning". The first time failed cos it was over baked. haha. Grace and Chaeyun came later and the girls stayed over.
Changi airport- Welcome minmin back from Incredible India which isn't so Incredible and then spend the night in Changi to see huishan, huiwen, yuting, xiwen, adeline and issac off to Changmai in Thailand.
Trio outing- I love Trio outing man! We haven't seen each other for like so long man and had great time catching up on each others' lives. I'll never forget Jas's "Meat wrap" which is Super duper small lar as compared to mine. Pool was fun and I had lots of "taiko" shots which is pretty impressive :) st's treat on Starbucks was awesome! haha.
NUH- Went to visit Kangkoon who got hit by a car. It's a hit and run case and hopefully this driver would be identified. Thank god that only one of his legs got injured and thus have to undergo operation. Ah Pua, aaron, clement, itouch, Lost purse, grumbling, stupid and lazy security and policeman, MacDonald, VivoCity, last train and taxi.
Colin's birthday- It's pretty unlucky to have his birthday falls on an examination period and thus we have to celebrate it where there's lots of books and notes laying around. Initially I thought that our surprise won't be a good one but in the end his blurriness made it a intended and good one. haha. Amira, Belinda, lena, huiyi, kelly aaron, cle, mingle, shiwen went and I'm really glad to see them cos the last time I saw them was like one and a half years ago and more for some of them. Nonetheless happy birthday to You Colin!
Chwee lan lao shi's recital- She's our choir teacher and she's really impressive man. Wait till you see her life's achievements then you'll be shocked. In fact her voice can stun you already. She's good la. Went with DiWei, DiJie and their mom. Well, DiWei likes Rahul. I can't. Sorry. haha.

Ultimate Best!!!
After rehearsal today in church, I grabbed my thick new black and solid glasses when I reached home and went running. It has been one week since I went running around my neighbourhood and I was expecting minimum improvement from this training. Well, it's not like I've been slacking or damn lazy that I've totally neglected about my exercising and fitness but rather I've been doing other forms of exercising. Like training on my pull ups which I currently am able to hit a minimum of 12, some super tough endurance exercises which I'm still working on and the hand-grip thingy, given to me by DiSong, which is super good for training forearms and arm wrestling!! Heh.
21st Nov timing was 13:18:83(according to my Nokia phone)
Today my timing was 11:36:91(according to G-shock!)
When I looked at the timing, I felt super great! In awe by how much improvement I've made, amaze by how I actually did it. Then I thought, could it be my uber geek's appearance? Picture this if you would. I had my thick new black and solid glasses put on, super ugly shorts and t-shirt, long and high socks, unkempt hair plus an outstanding and white pair of Adidas sport shoes. haha. Wearing my G-shock too! Each time I ran passed either a group of people or some loner guy wandering about in late night, and with these disgusting appearance, I would immediately look towards the ground and run faster! haha. Now you see it? haha. It's just a possibility lah!
Or could it be the Protein powder? haha.
In fact, the actual reason is because I know that I'm not running for myself. I'm really running it for my lord. Whenever I feel like giving up, whenever I tried to slow down, and whenever my lung or whatever it is feels like bursting, I focused more on my God. I said out loud and tell myself if this is what God deserves, if this is enough for him, and is this the best I can give? I'm really thinking if this is the best the ultimate best. And so I thank the lord that despite running a longer distance, I actually shorten my timing!!! Alright man.
Anyway, While I was running, I kept looking at my G-shock too! It reminds me of faces which I want to work hard for and give me the motivation to continue on :)

The SEXIEST..
The Chalet was better than expected. It was good because when I reached, the food were all cooked! The chicken wings-It's tasty but the second one that I took wasn't fully cooked, stingray with lots of chili which my friend tiger ate the most to revenge for Steve Irwin, satay which was the best and otak-otak. Marcel, Treviz and I were the most crazy of all cause we kept on eating like non-stop so as to make sure that the 22 bucks paid wasn't wasted.haha
Thereafter, we played this game organised by GuoHao called the voting game. It is a funny and ultimate biased game that made us laugh out loud like nuts. There is all together 13 S16 Best/sexiest/most...titles to be given out.(Instead of won because some of them are quite humiliating but real funny i.e most talkative, weirdest person, most sleepy face, most blurish face) It's biased in the sense that you are allowed to vote for practically anyone and that includes YOURSELF*(obviously Xinyi voted for herself when it comes to the S16 Sexiest Icon which is known to everyone haha), vote non-discretely like saying the person's name out loud which could in some ways influences other people's decision. And so guess what I've gotten? haha
O6S16 Sexiest EyesWell, perhaps it's true cause I won by merely 2 votes. heh. Thanks Dad and Mom too!! Anyway, all the title holders had to take photo with the guest-of-honour. Luckily the cat lover Miss Yap was patience enough to sit through the whole session of crap and took 13 photos. We had a super great time altogether.
Oh! We actually brought books to burn! I shall not go into the subject of the books cause our intention could be so easily revealed. Evil haha. Btw, that's the privilege of graduating!!! You can burn lecture notes and textbooks especially the subjects that you don't even want to think and see and know ever again in your life.
In this chalet, I'm proud to be who I am cause I'm actually able to stand firm according to my faith and never succumbed to any temptations be it small or huge. I'm the only guy in my class that did not let a single sip of alcoholic drink down my throat. I saw how my friends faces turned like how Marcus described it bloody Sh1t red, saw them doing funny but not dirty stuff(i.e Tiger blasting loud music into his ears to stabilise his swirling head) and heard about them staying in the toilet puking for an hour and slept there.
It may seems easy for me not to go for these drinks due to the comfort of being the muggerand the Guai student of the class but actually it is not. I thank the lord that my friends were understanding enough not to push me but there is still this urge to join them even though I never liked the weird taste of alcohol. In the end, I ended up joining them with an orange juice in my cup.
I know that all these will happen again and again when I meet up with different group of friends so I pray that the lord will give me wisdom of his to do the right thing(Cos by simply escaping, it might not always be the right thing to do) for him alone.
P.s. Tiger took his grade 8 piano on the same day as mine and that's the 3rd time he failed. Hai(s) Thankfully his mom is his teacher!!!

Happenings
I guess there's really too much happenings to blog or to be more exact, I'm too tired and lazy to blog it. Heh. I'll just list down.
Mind cafe- It's a super cool place that I love a lot. Went there right after my A's and laugh and scream so much. Reminder for those who want to visit; go on weekdays 2-6pm because the happy hour has got some super cool deal. Free flow of games, free flow of drinks* (I think I had 6 cups of peach tea la)and it is only for 5plus(inclusive GST 7%) bucks!!!
Malaysia- I know ST doesn't really like this place as in he almost wanted to insult them in the Econs case studies la. haha. Anw, I really had a good time over there in Malaysia. I Practically sat on the rocking chair and read this book by Tony Parsons for the whole day man. I've to say that this book is rather M18 for its vulgarity and explicit content. Nonetheless, this book is one of the most enjoyable book I've even read. I ate my childhood favourite BaGu Tei too!!! Spend quite a lot of time talking with my grandparents and I'm really very grateful that I'm their grandson!
Golden mile- Diwei, Dijie, Francine, Jonathan, Hongwei and I went to eat Bagu Xia mian!!! Delicious!!! I compromised at the very last moment even when I'm having one of the worst sore throat. The chilli makes a huge different man. I took the chance to visit my violin teacher and collected back my ABRSM certificate-at last.
DiSong's house- I realised I've the tendency to say DiSong's house rather than DiWei's or DiJie's house. I dunno why and dunn ask me. haha. Anyway, we stayed over and we played WeiQi. Had a really good time with DiWei and Francine when we played the do or die situation. haha. Super funny and amusing!! We watch some ultra hilarious and humorous Japanese videos and I fell asleep as usual while the rest slept at 5.
AGPC 60th Anniversary!- We wore the 诗袍!!! I dunn want to elaborate. Heh. I know minmin sure got things to say one. But only when she's back:)
Well, I think I've gone further than listing down. haha. I'm tired man so gonna sleep! Alright man. For those who are currently having their exams still, Jiayou and hang on man cos it'll soon be Christmas !!! All the way man!
I'll be off to my class chalet from tmr till Wednesday. Grinning!!
Peace!

Officer?
Just came back from exercising and I think that I need to share this with you guys.
As I was running, trying to pace myself so that I can improve my stamina and timing, I suddenly felt a surge of pain around my chest. Initially I wanted to ignore it but as I kept pushing forward, the pain gets more intense. Well if you think that this isn't a great deal of problem to me, you are dead wrong. If you think that I could escape this pain by not running and exercising or doing sports which are extreme, I guess you haven't known me very well.
If you ask me if I'm worried, my answer would be a 'definitely yes'. I'm so scared that I cannot push myself beyond my threshold when I train, so worried that I can't maximise my ability in what I'm capable of doing, that I can't train so hard so that I can be the best, so afraid that things won't go as I've planned. That I won't become an officer in the army.
I remembered that I once asked the doctor if this pain in my chest is anything serious, that could danger my lung or even my heart when I visited the clinic. She told me that it was nothing real serious and it would go away when I regain full health from my cough. Indeed I'm having cough now but I really doubt that they are corelated. I feel that this isn't the right approach to think that I would be well so long as I'm done with my cough.
I'm feeling super despair because of this pain. I don't want to lose my fitness and thereafter not being able to accomplish what I've planned for so long. I don't want to become a Pes E clerk, downgraded from B and beccome some weak guy that can't even run 2.4km without stopping to relieve the pain. I don't want to lose what I used to have and definitely not losing the chance to obtain that one bar when I didn't even have the chance to try, to give my best. That's not being me at all.
So is this being fair ?
I really don't know.
But one thing that I strongly believe is that I'm in my lord's hand. This one thing that I know gives me the strength and faith to say that no matter what is going to happen, my father, my lord Jesus would give me the best. I've experienced it before and thus I know that none other than my father, nothing is able to give me an answer to what's going to happen and nothing is able to satisfy my desire to know why sometimes life is so unfair. So Weijie, you think that being an officer is surely the best?
I know that I need to give up things that I'm so dearly clinched onto, so that my father's will can be done and not mine. I know that I can plan and map my path but it's god that determine my way. I'm certain that I can't do anything without his blessings. Without it, I'm bound to fail even with the best effort that I've put in.
I really hope that I would not backdown, never give up and never lose faith on him!
Nothing has the power to safe, but your name.
Do pray for me ya?! Heh.

First non-student day!
At last, A' Levels has ended. Full of joy, excitement as well as thanksgiving. I'll be off to Malaysia from tomorrow till Saturday morning. Going to visit my grandparents and have a real relaxation over there! Anyway, Jiayou for those who are still in their midst of examination and continue to fight hard cause I'm absolutely sure that there won't be any regrets!
I will blog more often from now onwards especially on my journey with God through the A levels Preparation as well as during examination itself.
Things that I would like to complete before I'm enlisted into the Army.
- Visit Grandparents
- Exercise Daily!
- Meet up with my friends!
- Read as many books as possible. Already got quite a few in hand!
- Improve on my violin skills as well as to play it for leisure whenever I'm free
- Relax and enjoy life as a non-student!

Trust
When is the time to trust?
Is it when all is calm,
When waves the victor's palm,
And life is one glad psalm
Of joy and praise?
No! For the time to trust
Is when the waves beat high,
When storm cloud fill the sky,
And prayer is one long cry,
"Oh, help and save!"
When is the time to trust?
Is it when friends are true?
Is it when comforts woo,
And in all we say and do
We meet but praise?
No! For the time to trust
Is when we stand alone,
And summer birds have flown,
And every prop is gone,
All else but God.
When is the time to trust?
Is it some future day,
When you have tried your way,
And learned to trust and pray
By bitter woe?
No! For the time to trust
Is in this moment's need
Poor, broken, bruised reed!
Poor, troubled soul, make speed
To trust your God.
When is the time to trust?
Is is when hopes beat high,
when sunshine gilds the sky,
And joy and ecstacy
Fill all the heart?
No! For the time to trust
Is when our joy has fled,
when sorrow bows the head,
And all is cold and dead,
All else but God.

Never repeat
Dear heavenly father. Thanks for being always there beside us. Though sometimes we may experience and feel less close to you, but you never allow us to stray and seek all by ourselves. Forgive my sins lord, for I am weak when I come into your presences with all those guilt and shame. Cleanse me with your blood so that I can stand up again, so that I can lean from my mistake and look upon you with a warm smile. Father, I wish that I can persevere and never forget the abundant grace you have given us. Let me comply with the plans that you set before me and not mine that are full of pride and greed. Allow me to trust in you wholeheartedly and abide in your truth. Inspire me to look beyond the present, think eternally but not what is temporary. Thanks you for you are so important to me.

The experiences
This is going to be an awfully random post.
Thanks to the reminder of Hongwei, I found out that I actually have not being blogging since the finale of SRC. Some of the things I'd experience were exquisite and some are going to be like once in a lifetime opportunity. This is how is ensues.
Trio outing after a super long time somewhere during the March holidays was refreshing and invigorating because of some new perspective on my dear friends. Went to vivo city and had lots of enjoyable times especially when finding Vinco. It was super tricky man. I can only remember the Mussle guy and the fine details are forgotten.
Then it's the Phantom of the Opera. It was 30th of March; the day that I'd been looking forward to for close to a month. I was accompany by teacher Yubao and Diwei. The experiences that I've gotten from Phantom of the opera will be in my memories for quite some time because it is the most splendid and breathtaking concert I've ever been to. The singing, the backdrops, the coordination, the special effects, the orchestra, the crops and of cause the plot is laudable. Nonetheless this is not totally why this experience will be lasting in my memory. I've actually hyperventilated close before the interval and the felling was terrible. I was shaking like don't know what till the extent that I could not walk and talk properly. Thankfully god places two lovely angels beside me, as their love and care in fully appreciated. Because I was so cold, we went to purchase a cup of warm water. However, the esplanade doesn’t seem to be selling just a plain cup of warm water. Thus, we ended up buying a packet of tea, which means that I actually drank a cup of warm plain water for a whopping 4 dollars. Total insanity. Albeit the dramatic things that I have had gone through, I didn't miss a single tad of this 162 dollars show. No regrets at all. And after the concert, when I reached Sengkang, I met one of my NCHS friends. Aaron was super caring and lovely cause when I met him and told him that I'm not feeling well because of the hyperventilation, he actually offered himself to walk me home. Another Angel god has prepared! We chat and catch up one each other's life after secondary days and I'm glad that he didn't change at all! Haha
Good Friday morning was spent in the church and we presented a song, which I personally love it a lot. That afternoon my family and a few of my mom's church friends as well as the pastor Lim came to our house for steamboat. It's so good that we kept on eating for like 2 to 3 hours. In the evening, we went to search for my little Brother's birthday present cum baptism gift. Considered a lot of things that we could buy and then we eventually settled on the hairstyling wax- the super amazing fudge.
Saturday was good because I finally got the chance to eat my favorite Ba gu xia mian which is heavenly. Haha. After one whole month leh.
Sunday was Easter Sunday and I'm glad that my cousin came to witness the baptism of my little bro. Haha. Didn't see them for quite some time and I love the GAP shirt they got for my bro. Haha. Celebrated my bro birthday for most of the afternoon that day.
Monday was brilliant because god is good! I finally resume my softball training, which I missed so dearly.
Yesterday, my elder bro came back from his missionary trip. Super glad to see him after like three months. Went to Sakura buffet which I like it pretty much. Especially the prawn and the marble cake with ice cream.
Today had my first nationals match with RJC. It was again one of my best-played game ever. Close to what it's like during the SRC but then this time round it is held in our school field which reduces a lot of pressure from my shoulder and they pitcher they played was their first choice. I was eager to meet him and see how this national team player is able to give batters huge headache. As expected, his ball was super fast and tricky at the same time. Even Umbi, the Angmoh got a standing strikeout. I was lucky enough to got a walk from him and I was only one base away from home after that. We played well during the first three innings as we managed to hold the RJC guys quite closely and we managed to score some runs, so it was pretty exciting and fun. However our momentum stop at the second half of the 4th inning when the RJC guys were batting and they were 2 down. We just need another one more player to be out and we would proceed on batting. However, we ended up conceding 13 runs. It was terrible and we really screwed up the game. The game ended 20-2. It was really a waste but then I believe that this match will spur us to putting a better performance on Friday.
Doing it for Christ!

Singapore Recreation Club 10th softball carnival
Today's SRC started off with the match with the overseas softball team. Did not have much action on the left field throughout the game. Some of the highlights in the match for me is that for the first time, I got onto the bases. It was super cool cause that was my first time and also because from the start of this tournament, I've been hoping that I could get onto the bases at least once.
In this match, I had quite a lot of contact with the ball but then most of it were foul balls. And unfortunately/fortunately, I was given a walk to the first base. For the first time, I stepped onto the first base and it was really exciting. After that, the next batter sent me to the second base and it ended my run there. Throughout this game, we put up a pretty sluggish performance. It was mostly because of our own mistake, it cause the match to become pretty lopsided. Wild pitching by our pitcher again made us arrantly helpless. On the other hand, this match also had its peak when Umbi-the big ah moh hit an amazing homerun. The game ended with the result of 12-2.
After having the match break, we were up against the only team that has yet to lose a single game in this tournament, Raffles JC. We are probably the lousiest of all the team around and naturally we felt inferior to them. So the game started with RJ fielding first and us batting. It went like mostly like what we expected as they hold us down even though we were able to made it to the third base. Then, the next inning was their turn to bat. We got thrash like nobody's business as seven runners were sent home. That includes a homerun hit by this gargantuan batter.
So before the start of the third inning, we were already down by 7 runs. So, it was our turn to bat again. Sardic the Malay guy, first batter of this inning had a pretty good hit and got himself straight to the third base. Then, it was my turn to do the batting as well as to send Sardic home. That was my first time batting against the RJ pitcher though he's not the first choice. I guess I was pretty luck to somehow made some contact with the ball, which ended up being a foul ball. And then came the moment where I hit the ball and I finally made it to the first base. The feeling was lovely cause I actually made it to the first base with my own hit rather than the one I had the match before, which was a walk.
After that, I made a costly mistake by not knowing that I'm in a force play situation. I actually didn't run towards the second base when Samuel hit the ball, and hence I was being tagged out before I reached the base. At that point of time, I was really disappointed with myself. What a huge opportunity I've wasted! However, surprisingly this inning we made 2 runs, which was a huge booster for us in our morale.
The forth inning, we did pretty well in holding RJ down as we only let in 2 runs. So the game tally 9-2.
Before the final inning, which is the last chance we have to give our best shot, our coach said that if you guys were to score 2 more runs, I will consider you winning this game. Furthermore, he said, if you can score 4 runs in this inning, I'll buy everyone of you'll a drink. Including the girl's team. Whoohoo! This type of offer by coach himself is like rarest of the rarest. Grins. Then, somehow, we were able to made some fine batting and running, and we actually scored 3 runs straight. At that point of time, we were filled with jubilant and we were in our highest spirit because we never did so well and especially when you knew that your opponent is such a strong team. It really went beyond our imagination.
Furthermore, we continued on and it is down to a situation where we were filled with anxiety and yet exhilaration. The situation is this: 2 out for us; bases loaded; full count for the batter and the most scary part was that RJ team decided to change their pitcher to a better one in this yucky situation. Now, either a strike will round up our venture in this tournament or a ball which will give us the fourth straight run in one single inning and also, getting the treat from coach.
Then, it goes like this: the pitcher releases the ball. The umpire shouted: "BALL!"
Hooray! All of us jumped with joy and it was sensational. Then, our momentum continued with 1 more player running home and until it once again come to this scenario: the 2nd and 3rd bases loaded; still 2 out for us; score: 9-7; Umbi (the one who hit a homerun the match before this game) was the batter. Now, Umbi can only aim to hit the ball as hard as he can and tries to send the 2 runners home, which will send the game to a tiebreaker.
However this Sunday didn't come twice and unfortunately two strikes and Umbi was out. Nevertheless, this game was considered a triumphant one for us cause we put on a really good fight and hopefully it can spur us to a greater height!
Good game! We got our drinks too!

One whole year
It's been so long. Almost a year had passed and thank god for this heavenly respite that brought us together at last. Meeting up with my NCHS studying clicks was really great because we haven't been catching up and updating on each other's life for so long and it's such a bliss that we can hand out together once again, sharing cold jokes, having a game of pool and of cause some private comments on our ex-classmate. It's also quite amazing to see some of the old habits and characteristics of these classmates resurfacing upon me. Sometimes it really makes me laugh clandestinely. Grins. Anyway, I thank the lord for this unexpected yet special gathering!

Aftermath of the match
Yesterday's match at kallang was pretty singular for me because that's the first time I'm representing my school one the sandy ground which creates an inexplicable pressure on me. Although I kept telling myself to keep cool and remain my equanimity, but then this overwhelming sensation seems to take much control of me during some point of time. It is especially apparent when I see those huge batters stepping onto the baseline, again and again attempting to hit a pile driver right through the furthers fielders.
Nevertheless, it is these type of experience that I want to have it again. It is exactly how god works in our life. Giving us not only blessings but also sufferings, which make us closer to him, becoming more like his son. This experience is imperative for my improvement. I would never want to remain at the level I'm currently at now. Albeit Jerald's pleasant comment which goes like "Anyway, you have really improved greatly from the time where you can't even throw a single ball well, not knowing a single set of rules." However I believe that that's not the right attitude I should use it as an excuse to console myself. It will not do me any good. I know that I can strive for better and even though time is not on my side taking into account that I started softball only during JC1, I must try to train effectively and productively.
Reflection on what I can improve on after the game.
1) My footwork especially while catching pop fly or high balls.
2) Catching of speedy ground ball using 2 hands.
3) Try to observe the likely direction that a batter tends to hit and thus standing closer at that area.
4) My distribution of weight on my thighs; not to lean too much back when betting.
5) Glare and stare at the ball first then turn my hip. Not vice versa because I tend to focus too much on the turning of hip.
6) Not to run anyhow e.g. zigzag. But straight to the place where the ball will fall.
Aims and goals which I hope to achieve during next game.
1) Doing well on the above mentioned technical moves
2) Getting onto the base.
3) Not to get strike out.
4) Saving more balls. Hope that there will be more highflying balls.
5) Learn more things
My next game will be on Saturday against HuaChong and National. I'm really thankful that SRC is just a considerably small tournament that is something like a practice match before the Nationals starts. Getting the real feel of what the game is like is really important for me especially when I'm so inexperience on match. Getting stronger and not let my pass defeats bring me down is vital.

Common test, studying, softball, and violin
This week was one of those weeks that I'm pretty much stretched to the limit to such an extend that I’ve not been facing the computer for one whole week. Everyday in this week was so routine and tiring that I’ve been longing for the weekend to come-the god-given respite. Nevertheless, albeit this arduous week, I managed to enjoy and savor a few moments that allow me to take a step out of the daunting challenges.
Arsenal ain't doing well this season. No trophies this miserable season. All the opportunities simply just slip off its grasp. However I still love their beautiful football.
This Sunday will be quite special to me because I will be having my first official softball tournament. The SRC tournament. I'm having a swirling feelings because I'm feeling nervous yet overwhelmed with the eagerness to achieve something in the match. Even though I heard that ACS boys are tough to fight, but I still think that as long we have the passion and determination, it will bring us very far. Hopefully it will be a huge game for me that I'll learn lots of important things that only in a match itself can bring. Of cause winning would be brilliant.

Chinese new year
This year's Chinese new year was pretty unique because this is the first year spending this festive season in Singapore. This year my grandparents decided to have a reunion dinner at my aunt’s house, which is small but cozy. In Singapore, it doesn't give me a warm and delighted mood for CNY, unlike Malaysia where there is a total different kind of feeling altogether. There is something which I missed out as a result of celebrating CNY here. The days where my cousin and I spent a couple of days in our grandparent's house; counting down to the arrival of a new year; glazing at the fireworks spreading out so nicely right before our eyes outside of the house and not mentioning the food that grandma cooked. Hopefully next year we'll return to Malaysia.
Besides having the reunion dinner, this year my parents decided to bring us overseas. So we spent two days at the holiday inn hotel at Batam in Indonesia. It's quite peaceful there unlike the commotion in Jarkata if not I wouldn't be back in Singapore. Heh. It was a trip full of nice experiences!
This CNY while I was visiting one of my aunts (mum side), I found out something pretty impressive. It is a one Big new discovery in my life. Heh. Let me introduce Mally my new cousin. Not literally meaning new but a just found out distance relative. It started out as a conversation with Yvonne (my aunt's daughter) as we were doing some catching up on each other.
Yvonne: So what JC are you in right now?
Me: TPJC
Yvonne: Oic…Are you doing fine there?
Me: Okay lor. Now it's getting better! Heh
Yvonne: Oh. Actually I've got a cousin that is in TPJC too! Wonder if you know her?
Yvonne: What subject combination are you in?
Me: Hmm, PCME.
Yvonne: I guess she's also in this combination. Her CCA is softball.
Me: SOFTBALL? What’s her name? I'm in softball too?
Yvonne: Mally.
Me: OMG. I know her. She's the girl vice cap.
Me: The skinny and tall one right?
Me: Very loud one right? Heh
Yvonne: YEAH!
Yvonne: OMG.
Well, you see. It’s super crazy. And the following day, I went up to Mally.
Me: Yoz morning Mally!
Me: I've got something very important to tell you.
Mally (Expression was pretty weird)
Me: I'm your cousin.
Mally (Her expression didn't change cause I think she thinks I'm nuts)
Me: You know who's Yvonne? She's my cousin.
Mally: (Her eyes started to come alive)
Mally: You mean that Hougang one?
Mally: You mean that 8 floor one?
Me: YES!
Mally: Oh my goodness! How can it be possible?
Me: (I smiled)
Mally: she started shouting. (Her action very big also)
Mally: What's your surname?
Me: Wong
Mally: OMG. How has that got to do with Chiam?
Mally & me: Laugh.
The world is small!
Me: OMG. Then Samuel (also in the softball team) and me are related too!
Mally: In a way. OMG. Cause Samuel is my nephew.
Me: Heh. So Samuel is my???
Mally: It's too far. Haha
Mally: I'm going to tell coach!
How small can it get?

When you look through heaven's eyes
I guess you guys would think that opening and checking out my blog is a total waste of time, annoying. Probably due to the fact that I blog less often and because of that 'Because of you song' which many of you dislike. You are right in some sense however I've got my reasons. First of all before I start, I would like to apologies to those who I've agitated. Oh no! It getting so tense and serious. Haha.
Seriously being in the second year of junior college isn't fun at all. Meaning the academic part because all those thoughts of achieving good grades or upholding the expectations of others can be pretty disturbing. It kind of constantly reminds me of my past failures and these can generate negative and yet positive motivation. In another words driven by my past failure to do well. Well, to somebody else it might have been a bliss for such things to happen. However to me, I see it beyond that positive motivation. I don't want to be motivated by the wrong factors cause it reveals only the real intention of mine, that is to prove that I'm capable of doing better, I'm not a loser. You see this is negative to me. What I truly yearn for is how my master wants me to live. It's all about surrendering and letting him take control of everything, knowing that I still have a long way to learn!
So, because of all these negative thinking which I have to rectify, it took away most of my time by engaging in some so-called "competitive, self-edifying studying". It's highly unhealthy and I trust that more side effects will follow. So, the time spend on blogging about god's grace in my life of cause diminishes when I'm set to follow my own agenda instead of his. One big problem of mine. Hope that you guys will pray for me!
Today is considered a holiday (that's why I can blog! Heh.) for me cause this morning I had my first annual road run with this college. It was held at the East coast Park and I'm proud to say that I completed the mass run without stopping! Hooray. A sense of rhapsody and achievement filled my heart when I dash passed the finishing line. Even though today was just a 3km run but then it's different for me. I've ran the 5km the previous year but then this time is different. Before the race, I knew that my stamina has decreased dramatically when I entered this college and thus I've been struggling even with my 2.4km. It's quite amazing that god gave me the courage to confront my fear and hence this 3km meant a lot to me. When I was running not even half way through, I felt like giving up cause my legs started to feel so heavy. However when I realized that I'm doing it for the lord, everything feels much easier and I made it! Yeah I'm going to keep up this attitude and by the time a' levels is over, I'll be ready for OCS!
Yesterday night my cell group had our very first meeting at Thomson Plaza. It's a good start for all of us (other than the traveling part for me! Heh.) as we all shared experiences that we had for the pass week. Learnt quite a few meaningful and intrinsic things through the experiences that god has placed in other people lives. One of them leaves me pondering for quite some time. Now I'm going to share with you. When someone else gives you shit, it doesn't necessary meant to be bad for you ( pardon me for a bit uncivilized). It's all about perspectives and for me I know that I've got to look things through heavenly eyes.
God bless you all.
Cos everyone is special
when you look through heaven's eyes

It always feel so good to have a cup of yogurt placed right inside the fridge whenever you feel like having some nice and refreshing moment after a tiring day! Today was no exception. Had a pretty awesome day spent in church and far east. Went out to had a hair cut with the Di brothers, my bro and xianjie who is currently wearing a brand new colour on top of his head! I love the way XJ's friend put it-"Another evolving dude!" Obviously ds is the first. Heh
Even though it is only the beginning of the year, I've already experienced god's grace being filled up in my life so abundantly that it only make me revere him even more. There is so much to learn and to experience that it is indeed impossible without him. I really thank him for all his inspirations, all his mercy and all his ways that seemed to be so distance but in fact it is always right beside us to mould us and to give us the best life.
We're like fallen angels. Each with sinful nature, fallen short of God's glory. Each possess with only half a wing. We're incapable to fly. So How do we fly?
We can always embrace each another and fly to a higher ground.
I really like what Diwei had shared.
God always sent his staff with his rod.

Seeking beyond
Two months of hard work ended up with a blast during the last 4 days. Seeking beyond 2006 is definitely one of the most fascinating and wonderful experiences in 2006 and it makes me feel so glad that our lord is in the midst of us throughout this camp. Firstly, I want to give all the glory and thanksgiving to my heavenly father because without him, all of us would not be there for this camp. I thank him because he is indeed very concrete. It was pouring like crazy for weeks and all of e sudden it came "SUNSHINE". I believe wholeheartedly that nothing is too great for him as long as we have the faith to do great things for him. Yay! Also, I want to thank him for giving me the chance to serve him working as a committee for this youth camp. Sometimes back then when we were having meeting, I really so bad that this burdened laden heart and mind was going to fail the rest but because of his grace, I've overcame it. Sometimes we just can do it alone in all our endeavors and I praise him for he has never forsaken us.
Speaking of alone, up next in the list that I'm going to thank will be my fellow committees- Xueying the yingzhang, huiwen, yueting and my little brother. I guess that we can really work together as a team and by god's grace, we were gathered together to organize this camp. Albeit it was the first time working together and it was our first time planning out the whole camp, I think we did a great job man. I think that the reason we were chosen to be the committee is because god wants it to make us see things in a different set of eyes and he wants us to reflect more on ourselves. Sometimes because of our pride and ego, it makes us think that things will surely happen out the way we wanted. And because of that, god put us in different places to water down and melt down our sinful character. Besides that, it is really a joy to work with them:)
Moreover, I want to thanks all the people that place their faith in us to create seeking beyond a fun and fruitful camp. Without you guys, without your high-ness, without your presences it would be a different experience all together. I'm really in awe that most of them participate the programmes enthusiastically and make this camp a dissimilar one from the others. This camp is indeed one that binds and fosters the relationships of all brothers and sisters and it yields a healthy growth for all of us that look upon the same goal-Jesus Christ.
Although this time round I'm not able to participate in most of the games, I've enjoyed it thoroughly cause when I see the passion in the eyes of the participator, it makes me feel so enjoyable too. One of the best experience that I had during this camp is the campfire and final showdown. It is time where groups were so overwhelmed with passion in their funny and hilarious skit that they performed, where some sing the songs that they composed and for some, it is confession. I'm really in admiration for Diwei's courage as he stood in front of the people. It's a time where people put all their pride, their wrong doing, their stiff-neck thinking into the realms of god's hand and in return, it's when god's love, mercy, grace and healing start to fall in place. The forgiveness is immediate and better relation is build on it. And that is god's work.
Now, I want to dedicate this song "Despite Fear" to Disong, Diwei, Dijie and Wayne. Despite fear, they are able to confess out their weaknesses. Despite fear, they are able to stand in front of the devil and acknowledge all their darkest flaws. And that is when god starts to do things beyond what we can imagine.
A special thanks to Hongwei and Dijie was help me complete this song with a amazing melody. I really like this song a lot and I hope that you guys do so! Last but not least, I thank the lord for the inspiration that I've received from him and may he bless us more with awesome music.
Despite Fear
It's so cold outside
But I know he's right inside
He has planned everything in hand
He is right
At the end
[Chorus]
Seeking beyond my imagination
I'm looking all out for you my lord
I know that for sure that it is you and only you
And only you
Speak to me O' Lord
I'm down, I'm in pain, I'm distress
I'll require you love, your mercy and your grace
Now I'll let you take control
[Bridge]
It is now, the lord is here
You're forgiven
Hallelujah
FJFC.
Seeking Beyond 2006
My fellow beloved committee!

The days are coming
Haha! I'm back blogging after so many days. Actually being forced. Heh. There's so many things for me to handle during this festive season. Went to a couple of places which I loved dearly and I'm really glad that all the past events that took place went so smoothly. Awesome!
Okay. For Jas sake, blogging about "Not so silent night" would be first. Heh. Went to this concert with st, sean and Jx specially to give our moral support to our dear "Da jie". hehe. They had a skit which is mostly enjoyable and amusing at the same time. However, some turned out tobe rather "cold". hehe. I believe that st laugh the loudest in the theater when Jas came out acting as a elf. haha. The four of us had a conclusion at the end of the skit. Jas: "Only knows how to act cute." Had a pretty good time spend with them especially when we were discussing about the 3 roses "bought by Jx", and how it can symbolise certian stuff*being vague here*from someone. Grins. Overall, the concert was pretty well-done lor. hehe
This few weeks I've been reading up on a few books which kept me pondering on certain issues. Well, even sometimes when we know how things can path it way, even when we know that it will certainly turn out the way we have expected, we just don't have enough strenght and discernment to continue. Now what I can do is simply ask god for wisdom, understanding and insight to accomplish his will!
This weekend is gonna be high man! Yeah. Saturday we are having a concert in church "love@ christmas". There will be singing, dancing, skit and many more! I'll be performing too. So you guys must come and support me. hehe. It's in the evening and I do encourage all of you to come. It will be fun man and there is even gift for you! hehe. Sunday will be e baptism sunday and I'm really glad that there are so many of them who will be testifying themselves in front of the congregation declaring their faith! Hope that everything will go as planned and I pray that it will be a warm and sunny day too! hehe. Caroling at night too!
We become God's man when God's grace conquers our fear of others knowing our weakness and shortcoming.

These seventeen years
Sometimes, we often think that why are we born to this world? What are the reasons why we are obligated to make ourselves useful, to be able to contribute ourselves, our talent to the society when in actual fact we are not going to enjoy much when we have reached that pinnacle. If it is god's will, we might be staying longer in this temporal world than the average. And so how much more can we enjoy? Are we simply just going to aim and achieve what we assume that it is the most important thing in life? What happen after we have achieve what we are striving all these years? What will you do next? Spend your entire splendor on all the luxury and worldly things that you can find? When you have reached and obtained the all the experience you can get, when you are at the upper end of the world, is that the final whistle-full time? Game over?
I hope that my life will not be like the one that I've illustrated. Then you may ask how are we going to be living a purposeful life? One that can make full use of what we're born to accomplish. And it will go on to what are we born to accomplish? I've already known the answer for myself. How come I know? It is because I have faith that what I'm going to do can be justified by my heavenly father. In this journey of mine, I'm going to give my all to him so that he will lead me and guide me to walk the walk of his instead of mine. I'm going to follow his direction so that in everything I do, it will yield the best outcome. I'm going to use the talent, the gift that he has bestowed on me to inspire all my brother and sister to lead a life of Christ. I'm going to worship him using the instrument that he gave me; I'm going to use it to move the people around me so that I can complete what it is essential for me to do. That's what I'm born for.
I know that I'm never going to walk alone because he will always be there for me. He will provide me with more than what I require. I know that I cannot walk alone because without him, I am weak, I'm am fragile, I'm too puny to resist all the temptations. I know that with him, I can do all things through him who gives me strength to complete this journey.
And you may ask how do I know? Why do I have the faith that what I'm endeavoring is the one for me? Let me tell you this impeccable testimony. The lord that I love dearly need not to be pierce by his side, he does not have to endure the mockery, mortification, the spittle that was spat on him, the cheap wine that was offered to him, the pain that he had to suffer when all three nails were punched through him together with wood. He lowered himself and undergoes all these humiliation. He set us free when he chose the nails. His body was broken just like the curtain that was stripped apart to bring us back to our father. Because of his unconditional love, we are once again invited to reunite with out father. The curtain to the holies of the holy was stripped so that there are no more boundaries between our father and us. There is no more mediator/curtain because it was broken. He invites us to be with him because his love has atoned for all our sins. He did all this to win our heart back. He did all this for you and me.
Just for you
This is so vividly pictured in my mind that it makes me revere him even more. I know for sure that this is the right path that I'm going to take. I know that I'm born to honor him, to worship him. That's the ultimate purpose of our life.
In this wonderful seventeenth birthday, I want to thank my lord Jesus, my parents for the best upbringing, my brother that my heavenly father has blessed me with, my brother and sister in Christ that gives me all the support and all my lovable friends! You guys really make me who I am now and I'm really glad to be such a blessed man because of all of you! *Grins*
Want to end of with my favorite verse.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you." Declares the Lord.

Grace from him!
I got to say that this week is awesome! Simply remarkable! It all started at the Emirate stadium where good things happen for the home team while the losing team just totally devastated. Not going to elaborate and dig out all the "Wonderful moments" cause there's simply too much risk at stake when you have a group of Liverpool devotees who might just pounce out of nowhere and give you a huge punch:)
Before the match begins, I was at the Costa sands having my first J1 class chalet cum BBQ. It was pretty fun, better than expected. Haha. Some of them really looked "KO" as they said that it's impossible to sleep even at unearthly hours and when I saw the bottle of vodka emptied, there is no need for further queries. Apparently they imbibed they whole bottle of the 42% alcoholic drink. Luckily I wasn't there that night. Heh. So when I reached there, all the food was ready and I'm fortunate to sit down, bridge and being served. Haha.
Oh, before the BBQ, I went to Synwin! It was my second time visiting this shop that I really love. It changed a lot as from what I've seen two years back, when I was purchasing my rock solid violin. What surprises me most was the harpsichord that is on display. Gosh, I've never though that I would find such a bona fide instrument and I even had the chance to press on the keyboard. The sound was super unique. Haha. Then, guess what? 17,500. That's the figure. I actually played on a $17,500 violin. It was breath taking. The resonance of the violin is impeccable and the feel of the violin is what I've never experienced. If I capable, that would be first on the list.
Fast forward to Thursday. The day which Disong is desperately looking forward to. It's was our first cell group meeting that is not held on a Sunday. Really thank god that everyone was able to make it. We meet up at J8 and we had crystal jade:) The Du Nan Mian ordered by Disong for me was alright. However the Du Nan wasn't my type cause I don't really fancy slimy-slimy food. Haha. We had an enjoyable time sharing and I shared the story on Balaam. Really looking forward to the next one which will be a fortnight away.
Speaking of cell group, it brings up my decision on whether I should give an attempt on going for the audition to join the Singapore national youth orchestra (SNYO). It all started when our cell group was sharing about what will become of us 5 years later; seating at the exact same spot. Some said math teacher, while some just wants to help people. Heh. For me, I want to be a violin teacher. A violin teacher that can inspire others and hopefully touch their soul with my music and ultimately, bring them back to our heavenly father. That's my dream. Definitely not a Singaporean dream; to be a lawyer, to become a doctor.
However with my current standard, I'm definitely not going to make it, to become prolific. That's where I need to do something about it. Disong then suggested that I should give it a try on the SNYO. I believe that it will greatly improve not only on my skill but also as a player who knows how the professional orchestra works. That would surely improve my chances on pursuing this dream.
Of cause there are some things which I'm quite perturb with. It's like a totally new commitment. A total new environment that I have to fit into, a competitive place where only the elite got to stay. I got to say that I'm afraid. What about my upcoming A' level? What about my dearly softball which gave me the passion to live up my days in this junior college? What about the match with VJ? What about my coach, my teammate if they hear that I'm going to quit? You see, it's not an easy decision.
This afternoon when I was having a chat with Diwei during lunch, I told him my worries about the tough challenge that lies ahead if I'm choosing this path. I asked him why is it that it seems like all the top schools are able to achieve great results in the non-academic section-sports, basketball for instance. Then, he told me his experience during his J1 sports festival. It was real inspiring and my tears almost leak out man. I could see his passion, his unyielding determine heart when he and his team fought all their way to become champion, through his words and tears was also welled up at the corners. I realized that even though I'm at disadvantage if I join the SNYO, but then I have a heart of indomitable will to accomplish the mission that my heavenly father has for me. I know that this is powerful. I know that being successful is not all about talent. Thank god that I know. Amen to that.
Just like Nadal, no give up in his dictionary.
So I'm going to give a try, together with my hard work, together with his strength.
All for Christ:)

Hongkie Pushing to the limit?
Today I had softball training in the morning and because of the rain, we could only resort to some meaningless talk while waiting for the rain to cease. For some reason, coach went ahead to ask Yingwye what is his nationality. Yingwye answered, "Was once a Hongkie but now Singaporean." Coach replied straight away, "no wonder you've got this type of attitude." -He was kind of a slacker. "But then Hongkie softballer always tried very hard one leh!" coach added, together with the look of disdain on this poor guy. Then, our coach continued his cynicism while we stood there looking as if we give a darn what he's trying to say.
After that, I thought to myself. What would he think of me? Am I like those Hongkie softballer who give all their might and strength when I'm playing this game or am I like what coach had said to Yingwye though it's exaggerated? I assured myself that I belong to the former sort after the training.
While we were doing the third sets on double hand toss betting, my swell up blister on both of my hands broke. It was only the beginning of the training and it's really deplorable cause I know that I'll not be able to unleash my full potential later. May it be the psychomotor in me or the passion that I have for softball, I told myself that I got to take the hard way so that the next time I bet, it will be better. It's as simple as "you get the blister now, you bet better next time." It's the same theory when it is being applied to an amateur guitarist, violinist, cellist etc. They got to go through the phrase when their fingers begin to sore, their arms breaking due to long hours of practising, frustrated with their poor rhythmic sense etc. And when you have tried hard enough, when you have give all that you have, the victorious feeling is definitely beyond words. It will be better than the previous. I went home with a jubilant heart.
I always believe in working hard cause it will produce only either one of the two results. The first one is that it will yield an exceptional outcome, which is what everybody wants, including the slacker. The other result is that it will turn out to be a bad one -not quite what you have expected. However despite of this poignant ending, one who had work hard enough will not feel too bad for himself/herself because he/she knows that they have already given their best shot. No regrets unlike the slacker.
So have you given your best attempt?
P.s. I dunn really discriminate slacker.

First of all,
Project work is finally over. Yeah!
Fine.
No more free period,
No more slacking period,
No more arm-wrestling period.
Heh.
I think our group did relatively well.
Hehe
Everything went quite smoothly.
Just like the dozen and dozen of rehearsals.
The question that I got was unexpected.
However, I guess I answered well.
I'm glad.
Thank god.
Two H1 subjects gone.
Meaning more time to concentrate on other subject.
Meaning that I'm gonna have a higher expectation.
Consistency is what I need the most.
According to God's plan.
Sunday is approaching.
Yet I'm not memorising my lyrics.
Memorising Crash and Burn Instead.
All wrong.
I love Nitendo DS. OMG.
Doesn't looks appealing.
However, it's addictive.
Aaron rox!

How great is our god
Yesterday could have ended off with a much better way. How I wish. It started off with the sermon, which I find it pretty enriching and elevating. Huishan and yueting was our teacher for Sunday school. They did a great good in bring out all the learning points and key issues. With their sense of humor throughout the lesson, we had all the fun and amusement. Choir was one of the things that I love the most. It was a pleasure to have much more guys now joining us to sing. I really enjoyed the freestyle part. Heh. I think the last song "Here I am lord" was the best I've ever heard. I hope that it would be as good when we present next week. Pink tie. Grin. Heh
Touch rugby after choir was exhausting yet gratifying. Found out that Diwei is quick and nimble, while Esmond is such a witty and laudable guy when he thought of the ingenious move to crack down one of the Touch rug rules. Everyone was impressed cause even xianjie was once a rugby guy have never thought of it. Haha.
The talk with Diwei and Dijie was good; dinner with Hongwei, min and my bro was fun but the away match with what I called "small team", West ham, was horrid. We lost 1-0 to the "small team". I guess I'd failed to appreciate their strength. I thought that they were an easy opponent for a "big team" like Arsenal. I was ousted off my imagination when they found wining strike on the 89th minute. I was stupefied. My dad was like gloating "Haha! Small team yarh?! See now who's the winning team?" in mandarin. I was dead silent. The same thing happened as expected in school today. I was dead silent too.
Humility and meekness is what I need the most.

Through it all
I could still remember vividly that the last time I blog was like before the day where Jas and I celebrated St birthday at DKNY. It has been such a long and prolific week and there are so many things that I've experience and encounter that I could not pen it all down explicitly. Leaving a scar on my left forearm due to my careless mistake, Had our very first Sunday school outing at Swensen and then watching an impeccable robbery filmed by some ingenious guy whom I didn't find out. Even though it is a movie, but it takes a mind of that Shadow guy in Naruto ( Opps! I forgot his name), who has an IQ of above 200, to conspire such a brilliant plan.
Wedding on last Saturday made me feel so glad and delighted. Although some parts did not go as it was rehearsed, I still find the whole event was God blessed one. I believe that the most important thing is that the couple is able to accede so many people witnessed this sacred ceremony before this filled with compassion and loving God.
Was at coffee bean with the youth camp committee on Monday night. It will be my first time organizing such a gargantuan event for so many people. Hopefully I'll freak out and able to come out with some fun activities:)
Missed the chance to catch up with Cle and Colin on Tuesday :( Wanted to try out his new cello, which I found out only a couple of weeks back. This shows how much contact we've lost and I promise that I'll endeavor hard to make it all up. Probably got to wait till everyone is free again.
In the evening, went to Costa sands for a musician retreat. I really like the way we throw out any songs that we can think of and hopefully it fits into the song that is going to end. It was quite a challenge for those who seldom sing as well as those who can't figure out the lyrics. Hence, it really evinces how often we sing these songs with the effort to know what is the true essence of song. This retreat also let me able to know a few of my mistake that I've neglected, hence I got to remind and remember so that I can give out all my best.
Random: Mom's yogurt is going above average:) Yeah! Yogurt Everyday. Heh.
Had my first and probably last Theory exam this morning. I'm really filled with awe for my father in heaven because he let me have a super serene heart. I know that I must have faith in him cause he never fails. Love never fails. God is love. The exam was pretty manageable and hopefully I can get a good grade. Anyway, this is the very first exam that I have taken it with so many small kids around. Heh. Feels quite peculiar at some point.
I've received a lot protest from you guys pertaining to the "BECAUSE OF YOU". My apologies to all of you. If I got the chance meaning time, I'll do my best to remove it when I have found a better one. Heh. Crash and burn?!
Now I know how St feels when he meets her:)

S.seek A.and T.trust
Met up the super sisters at coldstorage and we started to shop for food with the highest level of energy content on Tuesday. It all started with the idea of buying food for Disong with the premise that his SAT would be held on Thursday. Initially we thought of using DIY paper bag to carry the food but as we shop, we found out that it wasn't enough to hold on to all the things that we are going to buy, especially the watermelon. Heh. Thereafter, we decided to change it to a box, which will have a larger space for us to put our goods.
Went to Huishan's house to redesign the box. The super sisters were so funny man. The first thing that I notice when I stepped into their house was Huiwen glaring right into the television with so much intense in her eyes. She didn't even notice about my presence until I went to make some sarcastic remarks on her. Haha. Amazingly, she's not the only one having this type of obsession. I found out that her whole family is of the same type later- watching television manic.
Soon, we began to work on the design of the box. We had so much fun making art out of the limited resources that they have and there were so much laughter and caustic comments. Heh. The super sisters seemed to be going overboard in swindling me in all situations can? I mean literally man. Obviously they thought that I'm too gullible.
After the completion of the redesigning of the box, we set off at nine from Huishan's house Disong's with our energy package. Having the thought of taking a cap to his house as recommended by the super sister's parent taking into consideration that we don't exactly know the way and it was quite later then. However, we thought that it would not show our sincerity, so we decided to give it a shot by walking there from Serangoon MRT Station. Managed to figure out the way with help from Xianjie. The journey there was somewhat terrifying cause the surroundings and the environment kind of builds up the suspense in us. Sometime, there would be dogs barking at us and we even saw a bat flying passed us. Heh. It was really a bizarre experience walking to his house at such a ghastly hours.
When we finally reached his house, we started to fix up the box behind a car parked outside his neighbor house. It was a funny yet scary thing to do. Funny in a way cause we have never done anything like this before, under the twilling of the moonlight, three of us were seating along the road endeavoring to fix the box as well as thinking of some funny instructions we can make him do before he opens the box. On the other hand, scary in a way since it was so late already, the passer-by might think that is these 3 people nuts? Are they some terrorist trying to destroy the car in front of them? Furthermore, we were very anxious that Disong might spot us before we finished all the preparation.
Did quite a lot of things trying to get information of his location and while we were still waiting apprehensively, a car happened to drive pass out of nowhere. Huishan was screaming towards me saying it was xianjie! Hide! Heh. I guess we were too oblivious cause we totally did not expect them to turn out from the other way. When we tried to hide, it was futile cause Disong had already spotted us.
Despite not able to give him the surprise that we expect, like what Huishan had said, "At least we succeeded in making the energy package and walking all the way to his house." Heh. I believe that we gave him some morale booster before his SAT and this is what we should do to show our concern and care to those we are in need for. Hopefully I can do more to make people happy, to change the way they see things in life and to bring joy and laughter to them. Heh. Of cause salvation too!

25 person, 1 voice presenting the Vienna boy's choir
Went to esplanade for the Vienna boy's choir after the exciting workout on sunday! The boys were as fabulous as what I've expected to hear. I really love their voices because it's so hard to find so many boys with so much talent in their vocal. It's really mind-boggling to see boys at such a young age yet being able to display such astounding voice. 25 people, one single voice.
The only regret that I have for this concert was that the musical play was rather boring. Perhaps for the others who get the chance to be seated near the stage would find it captivating and have an arrantly different view from mine cause we were seated on the circles. Yarh. The one and only. Heh
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the concert on the whole and I'm quite sure that it will broaden our horizon, as it is pretty hard to hear four different parts namely the soprano, alto, tenor, and the base all produce by a single gender.
P.s. The soprano was so strong that it made me ponder if the women's could actually be comparable to it. Heh. I'm no sexist. Grin.

Revitalizing day
Sunday was one of the most memorable and invigorating days I ever had since my promos had started. I was filled with the overwhelming urged to throw some fast and powerful ball with much control of it. Apparently my throw wasn't as consistent as I thought it would be. * Rusty * Nonetheless, I felt that I could thrown every single ball with much ease cause I believe that my daily practice on my chin up has take effect in terms of building up my bicep and back muscle. Heh! With the combination of increasing strength and decreasing of accuracy, it results in several Oh-my-gosh moments.
With the ball right in his hands, he's ready to throw. It was the first time he is going to use his full strength to unleash the most supine swing since a long time ago. He tried to focus with only one goal in his mind- getting the ball into the catcher's glove. With the adrenaline rush, his eyes shows the determination as well as the I'll-beat-you-down-no-matter-what attitude. The moment has finally arrived and he releases the ball. Will he have a perfect throw and claim the +2 points that will let his buddy and him enjoy the Mac ice cream or will he lose control of it?
His face went down almost immediately. He knew something bad is going to happen. The ball went pass the catcher, went pass the fence and guess what happen next? A truck happen to drive pass...
Thank god that it didn't result in any accident. Perhaps a deep dent?! Heh
Another hapless incident took place not long after the first. It was again due to his misfiring and inconsistent form. Albeit this lethal throw made him feel so guilty thereafter, he still want to thank god that it wasn't any major injury. The game ends here.
The above two illustration were the case where I'm the perpetrator. Sign. However, I believe that everyone had a good day! Praise the Lord!

Hilarious conversation
As usual, after my violin lesson, I went to one of my favorite places for lunch- Beach road hawker centre. I never knew that this place could turn out to be a perfect eating paradise for me every weekend. I love the place so much because of the wide variety of quality food being sold there. Two of my top pick would be the green plate "Bak gu prawn noodle" and "Beach road speciality Yong Tau Foo". Today I chose to eat the Yong Tau Foo because it is not heaty, as I would not want to get myself sick considering that the weather nowadays is awful. So, while I was savoring the nicest Yong Tau Foo in Singapore, heh, I received a message by Huiwen.
Huiwen: Reporting: PSI 130. Very hazy. So please remember to drink lots of water and stay indoor. Don't eat heaty stuff and Take care!
I replied: Haha. Thanks for your concern :) I’m now outside man. Damn hazy sia. Yong Tau Foo not considered heaty right? Heh
Huiwen: Lol:) you better run home man. Haha. Jk.
I find it arrantly amusing and I kept on laughing while I was eating. I believe that those who were beside me surely would think that I'm mad or retarded. Haha. Thank God for this humorous and wonderful sister that I have. Heh.
Besides that, the haze is getting worse and so everyone please take care ya?! Hope that the haze will subside tonight so that the programme will go on smoothly.

Ebullient!
Being able to sit down and have a good reflection and feeling so laid back is considered a form of blessings. Being able to do the things that you yearn for without any form of diversion is god's grace. Unfortunately, I deem that the immersed pressure created by the environment is constantly thwarting most of us thus that is why we are feeling worried and stress all the time.
Because of this, we have Disong to present "Ideas to fun and productive learning" to the ShaoTuan. It was full of his own ideas and pepectives as well as the captivating animation done all by himself which sent a vehement and important message across; to know why we study, how to cope with stress and the various methods on how to study with passion. You may think that this kind of presentation is always so cliché and boring, but this one is definitely not the usual type. It was motivational and inspiring.
Aside from that, I am currently a ebullient guy cause PROMOS is over! I'm extremely
glad that now I'm liberated to do what I want and the things that I've mired; completing the weekly bible reading material prepared by yubao, practicing my violin daily, 1100 words which is intrinsic-to name a few. Promos actually is not as bad as what Xianjie had told me before after experiencing it. Although the time devoted into studying is comparable to the 'Os', however in terms of the pressure that others had placed on you, it is dissimilar. Nevertheless, what's most important is the effort that one has placed in and now I know how important is consistancy.
Speaking of consistancy, it reminds me of the ONE and only Emmanual Adebayor- The consistantly inconsistant. Haha. That brings me to the match a couple of weeks ago. The showdown between the seemed unstoppable Manchester United and the dejected Arsenal. Manchester United was having their best start of the season with five consecetive wins while Arsenal on the end was experiencing their worst start without any win at their new emirate stadium plus away home. Adebayor was the protagonist as he scored the only and winning Goal. It was pretty dubious on how he did it. Nevertheless, he abeted Arsenal with enough momentum, motivation, confidence, vociferous will and thus spur them on to the top-flight. With the inform Henry banging in more goals, I can see them toppling down the misfiring Chelsea soon. GO! GO! GO!
I was honored to be the violinist for the upcoming wedding. A few months earlier I was asked and I thought I would be prepared by now. Without any further notice and reminding, I was carried away by my own work such as preparing for promos. On Monday, I received the scores. I found out that I've made a mistake by thinking that the wedding would be held on the 28th. Instead, it will be on the 21st, which is next Next Week. I was stupefied. Moreover, I believe that the score given to me was alleged to be for diploma level. Can you believe it? Its like don't know how many ledger lines they have to draw before reaching the notes. The high High C. Anyway, I can feel the pressure now and I will not have any excuses of playing below average. Do pray for me cause I really need your support and ultimately, I want to use the melodious music to bless them too!
Looking forward to the weekends cause I'll be going to the Chinese garden to celebrate the lunar moon cake festival! Hope that it will be fun! Vienna boy's choir gonna be amazing and before that, I'm gonna try out my new strength!

Before promos
Father, thank you for your word that says you've given me a spirit of love, of power and of a sound mind. Not a defective, handicapped, weak or sickly mind, but one full of strength, vitality and soundness. you said that I have the mind of christ. At age of twelve, Jesus was astonishing the religious leaders in the synagouge. It is written that Jesus grew in wisdom, strength and favor with god and man.
I believe that I have the capacity to learn and to make excellent grades. In daniel's life, you caused him to be ten times greater in knowledge then the men around the world, when asked questions by the king. I believe that as I exercise faith in your word, the mind of christ will be working in my life.
As I study, show me what to study and how to study most effectively. May the holy spirit cause me to be quick in understanding. Help me to develop the powers of concentration, so I can maximize the ability you have given me. Help me to discipline my mind to think on the subject matter at hand, and not daydream and lazily wander around, so that I can get the most out from my study time.
Father, as I enter to take this exam, I ask you to help me. Grant me wisdom and show me how to take the test, so that I can gain the most out of all the points and using the knowledge that I have to the best of my ability.
Thank you that the holy spirit was sent to bring things to my remembrance. So that I ask and believe that those things which I might not be able to recall in my own natural ability will be brought back to my remembrance. If there is a difficult question, help me not to get frustrated or depressed, but help me to stay full of peace, for word of God is peaceable and works in a peaceful mind; I know that you will help me. I thankyou beforehand.
Your Words says, father that whatsoever is not of faith is sin, so I take my exam by faith. You are my pal lord. I'm able to step into the examination hall with confident because we are out there to manifast your greatness and power. I will study hard and do my best. where I come up short, I believe that you can make up the difference. I want to give glory to you in all I do and so I'll take this test with all my heart. Because perfect love cast out all fear, I won't let any fear cloud or block my thinking. I cast down those thoughts of fear and helplessness, and replace them with thoughts of faith and wisdom.
I resist the temptation to cheat on this test and I pray that you would let everyone work with honesty and you would help those around me to do the best that can on the exam.
In Jesus' most precious and almightiest name I pray. Amen.

It's Disong and me. Haha. Managed to get this video uploaded. I think that this video is pretty cool and I hope that you guys enjoy it yeah! If you guys had noticed, Disong wasn't really focusing as he kept on looking and searching for something- his mom. Haha.
This is the pastor whom I have been talking about during my previous entry. haha. His vocal rocks to the core man. Do have a look at it and see how our almighty god is able to create such a person who can sing his life our for him! I like this video a lot!

AGPC's MUSIC SUNDAY
Started with the prelude where Disong and I played the violin accompanied by our pianist Minmin. I really loved the song arranged by Hongwei as I think it had the whole service started well and I believe that it is why we played with emotion and also not forgetting our main focus of all these devotion- Our Lord Jesus!
Having Disong as my partner as we serve the lord using the strings was really amazing. Had so much of fun and laughter with him and I really thank the lord for this opportunity to let us be more bonded in you. Today was his debut and I'm in awe that he did not freak out more than I do because I made all those mistakes that I think it is totally should not be made. Nevertheless, I guess that we played pretty well. Heh. Besides that, I'm also impressed by how fast he grew spiritually taking into consideration that he became a believer only for a few months and I hope that he would really continue to strive and look upon you even more!
Singers, pianists and violinists :))) Kope this picture from Jianhui's blog.haha.
Sermon was by one of the pastors from SBC and I wholeheartedly agree that his voice is remarkable. This is the first time I heard the male congregation singing extraordinary loud. Neither it is because there is exceptionally more male today nor there is a group of male choir that joined us during the service but it is because of this man. Heh. The difference that he made was immense. It is really an eye widening experience because I've never heard of such a thick, strong and rich vocal live before. An incredible nice and superb voice that god has blessed him and I will not for get what he had said in the sermon. " Acquiring much of the talent, skills, knowledge, favor, wealth, but using it without the right purpose means futile."
Tuanqi was pleasurable and I think that all of us had so much fun. Still without any clues on why we started up with such a high level of adrenaline rush pumping in us especially in the Youth fellowship. Heh. So much of joy and laughter when we performed our tribe style cheer led by Xianjie our ever-ingenious guy in doing all sorts of funny moves. Won the mini New Testament competition over the JYF! However, they still did a good job. Heh
Had a new Agenda! I hope to finish the bible again but now it is in Chinese. Heh. Cool right? Hopefully I will not take longer than 1 year to finish cause I think that my Chinese really sucks man. Furthermore, I hope that it will help me to improved my Chinese as well cause 'A' level Chinese is coming soon and I'm ain't going to do well with the kind of standard I'm having now. Haha
Arsenal is going nowhere of they are going to perform again in this type of manner. I'm totally disappointed with them. Last night my blood pressure almost went to the peak man. Haha.

Dejected soul
September holiday is ending soon. Heh. I'm so reluctant to let it go because it means that I'll not have much time left to mug. It's just so deplorable to let go when you feel that this much-needed holiday is coming to an end. There goes my morning breakfast with my mom, the time for me to practice my violin without any worries that I’ve neglected the other things that I should have done instead and of cause the revision period. Not to say that this September holiday is not productive at all, but it is the feeling that tells you what you have done so far is not enough of what you have expected.
This entry is going to be like the review of what had happened for the past few days!
I guess wearing my new spectacle gives me a new form of identity. For those who don’t know that I’ve changed my spectacle; I got a new frame last Thursday and I went to collect it on Saturday with Disong. Decided to change it because I’ve been wearing the old style (my last two pairs) for such a long time and also it is a bit spoilt. Heh. This time round I got a spec which is quite funky, commented by my cousin. Haha. Think that I look quite different from before as a result. However, I like it pretty much.
On Wednesday, my mom and I went to Malaysia to pay a visit to my grandpa who is still currently in the hospital. Seeing him getting stronger day by day was a form of relief for both my mom and I, as well as encouragement for him. It is poignant to see his body covered with red patches of rashes cause by the allergy to a particular medicine which was given to him. Now the only thing we can do is to continue to pray that his immune system will get stronger and that the Lord will heal him.
I did something that I’ve never expected to do during this trip to the hospital. Haha. Thinking of it now really let me realize how important my grandpa is to me. I actually help my grandpa bath. It was a once in a lifetime experience man. Heh. Since he have not been bathing for a long time and the lack of male nurses on that day, my mom suggested that I would help him bath. It was a impromptu stuff and I did not have any thoughts of declining. Perhaps I think that it is because of the love and hope that he can recover as fast as possible. I’ll leave out the details of the procedure. Heh.
On that day, I’ve also accomplished something that I thought it is so difficult to do. I’ve finished reading a bible once throughout. On the 06/09/06, 3.33pm. Heh. Auspicious yarh! Other than that, I really want to thank the lord for giving me the patience and perseverance to finish it once, not mentioning Minmin who also gives me the encouragement as well. Hopefully that I can really look through the word of God again with deeper understanding as well as a discerning heart so that I can be more like him!
Haha. Yesterday evening I tried swallowing raw egg white after a exhausted run around my neighborhood which I fail miserably. The taste was disgusting (like rotten egg) and I can’t help but to throw out everything that was in my mouth. Thought that it would gives me more protein but with those type of struggle I will have to go through, I rather give it a miss. Heh. Besides that, I think that I got to train hard on my stamina cause with the results that I got yesterday, I doubt that I will barely touch the passing mark.

Nan Chiau High School
So much of the memory, so much of the laughter, so much of the humiliation, pride, joy and thankfulness were felt when I went back to my Secondary school. It had been a place where I spent for such a long period of time and without any doubt, it leaves numerous wonderful memories that are still vividly printed in the deepest part of my mind.
The little mischievous boy who had high hope that is to top the entire cohort, the awards and prizes that he got every year, together with his best friend, they fought their way out of their biggest adversity, they laugh and create names for their teachers, they make a fool of themselves by being the first few councilors to get detention. It's a place where friendship are forge, a place where school does not literally means school, a place where I'm educated:)
This time round as I stepped into my secondary school, the feeling that I got is exceptional. I believe that it is because I am an ex rather than a student of Nan Chiau high school currently. It makes the whole frame of view totally different. Now, I feel so thankful that Nchs actually provides such a conducive, well-furnished, well-designed environment for their little boys and girls, which I took it for granted that all these things should be obligatory. How I wish that I could have my lessons conducted there, to study and have lots of fun there again.
Saw many friends whom I've lost contact with and I want to thank god for this opportunity to gather most of us back. It's an amazing experience that allows me to realize how fortunate I am in so many areas which I've overlooked.
Happy teachers' day!
Yesterday night, S0606 had another class outing at junction 8. Once again I was given the chance to catch up on a lot of things with my fellow classmate. It was a good gathering considering that we had so much fun things in common to talk about. Took lots of photos and I'll be uploading them soon!
P.s. Let's hope that Arsenal would be more luck this time round k?!

Lord please heal him
I was suprised by Arsenal insistence on overdoing things in their disappointing 1-1 draw with aston villa. To add up to the dismay, they allowed their visitor to knock in the first ever goal scored in the new emirate stadium. I was pretty poignant by the quality og they played and I believe that all these happens because of the tight schdule their players are facing and thus their fatigue were low. Drawing is better than losing on their first match nonetheless. However I still hope that thry will adopt a more direct appoach in their coming match. So don't rule them out ya?!
I was jubilant when I finally reached the 221 mark. It was a form of relieve as well as encouragement for me on tuesday. I managed to settle for a silver before the last chance of getting an award for my napfa test come next week. I was quite proud of myself because I never thought that I could jump any further than the 200-210 mark. The determination as well as the unrelating innate will power made me overcome this barrier. Not mentioning the technical methods in doing so made me reached my goal. Gonna thank Disong too for his advice ya! However, the following day, my whole body was aching like mad. This was probably due to the negligence of not doing warm up. Totally regret it because now whenever I bent for example siting down, it hurt and ache. Now I can't even do a single pull up. shucks!
Your ATTITUDE Determines
Your ALTITUDE
Yesterday, I went to the Raffles museum for the learning journey. At the beginning, I was not willing to go due to the fact that I was too busy with the things going on currently and I wish to spend the time prudently for example studying. Eventually, I decided to go as I do not wish to leave any bad impression in my teacher's mind. Now, I got to say that this field trip really broadens my horizon because it showcases a wide range of Singapore's diverse wildlife. Some of it are extinct but many surprisingly can still be found on the island. Some of the key exhibit include the 19th century leathery turtle, bukit timah last banded leaf monkey, 4.4 metres king cobra and many other more. It was a cool experience and I think that I did not make the wrong choice:)
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, So also through the obedience of one man, the many will be made righteous.

Will her life have a impact on you? Will her presences draw you closer to god or instead a burden for you to experience god in your life?
This week seems to be no better than the previous partly because of the stressful life in school. Promos in 37 days time and I've yet to study at the level I'm expecting. Consequently, panic starts to overwhelm me.
Disong just got his license. Haha. It's damn cool man. One day I shall also get my driving license!
Presenting Uth talk on sunday!
English premiership kicking off this sunday!
GO Arsenal!

Heartfelt Thanks
Celebrating Singapore's 41st birthday in the hospital was sad enough. Needless to say when my granddad was sent to the hospital on Tuesday morning which I got to know only when I woke up. I was trumatized by the news from my mother because this happens just when we thought that everything in the world is going to be fine, we can just settle with the "happy-go-lucky" attitude and taking things for granted that the person you loved most will live as long as you think. I was wrong. I could sense the urgency then cause I heard from my dad who rushed to Malaysia at two in the morning that my grandpa was having a mild stroke.
Things did not happen the way I wanted it to be on that day. Though I've prayed and leave everything unto god's hand, I still did not feel the comfort, the calmness that could let me experience the presence of god within me. I could not concentrate when I tried to study, I could not think anything properly till the extend of playing the violin on my bed. Now, I wonder how I did it. Negative thoughts crossed my mind many times and this eventually led me to depression.
Then, I decided to put down all the things that I was supposed to do and started to search for an answer in the bible.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24I came across this verse and I thought for a very long time. Is it that simple that God will grant you what you hope for, what you yearn for? Then, I realised that Yes, this is what God has promised us and I believe that if we have faith in him, if we have no doubt but to trust in him and if the intention is right, we can claim what he has promised and he will genuinely grant you what you have prayed for!
The following day, I went to the hospital in Malaysia to pay a visit to my grandpa. The minute I saw him, my tears were all welled up at the corner of my eyes. I never expect him to lay on the bed and look so vulnerable with all the machines and tubes around him. However, his condition was a lot better than the day when he was admitted to the hospital and I really thank god for his grace upon him that prevented him from falling into the realm of death.
I want to thank god for his plans because of this incident, I could see how weak each one of us is and how life can be changed within months, weeks or even days. I got to know how much I need my heavenly father in our lives and have faith in him. I also want to thank god for gathering the whole family together, to pray and to seek your presence and through this, we are more bonded in you lord. However, what most important is that you saved my grandpa live, your grace is sufficent for him to let him repent, to trust in you more, to walk the rest of his life in a glories way to you.
Lord I also thank you for those people who cared and prayed for my grandpa and may you bless them in everyways. I thank you lord for putting these people in my life, to help me, to encourage me, to guide me to be more like you.
Amen!
Big faith leads to God's work being done

No.14
Oh gosh! Now my blog became something like a week review of what my life throughout the week has been like. Actually I'm not totally responsible for this cause you'll have to consider how busy I'm am daily all because of the tight JC schedule we are going through. Young people out there better cherish and make full use of ya time to enjoy life before coming to JC man, or else you gonna suffer from serious psychological problems because JC life is totally different from Seconday where we got to play chapteh, soccer after school etc.
-
Life is JC is getting better as the day goes by although it's still tiring and hectic. Finally our class has a class T-shirt(Jersey). Yay! I'm pretty satisfied with the overall design and wanna guess what's my Jersey No.? It's 14. haha. If you want to know the reason, Please go and consult Henry. Besides that, we had a mini brithday celebration in school today. Didn't know that there were three August babies in our class until today. I guess that I should really put in more effort in knowing more about my classmate cause for the pass 6 months, I think that I'm quite passive towards them. I shall not blame the school anymore! Right! We ordered 6 regular pizza after our math lesson and we celebrated their birhtday. It was pretty sad that the servings were quite little and for those who didn't eat fast enough, they only could have a slice of it. Lucky me cause I got got two! Grins. Sumore everyone got to pay 3 bucks man. haha.

Random: I love honey star! Not only does it look nice but also taste fabulous. hehe

250 Cranes
Thank God that finally now I have the chance to sit down and blog about the past one week. It's really amazing when I looked back cause there's so many things that I thought I'm incapable of seems to work out pretty well in the end. With God's grace and mercy, I'm able to accomplished so many things.
One of those things that I mentioned above is folding cranes. I've never expect myself to have the kind of patience and persverence that one has to devote, cause without those quality, I believe that it's not possible to even sit down for a hour simply folding the cranes. I've experience it on the first day when I started folding the cranes. While folding the Tenth cranes, I almost gave up because I refused to accept that I should spend so much of my precious time just folding e paper. I thought that I should do something much more pratical such as studying, practicing my violin etc.
Things started to change when I found out that Disong who is also folding the cranes for XJ's birthday present, have not even started. At that point of time, I'm motivated however in e wrong way. It was short term cause when I reached the 20th cranes, I'm totally back to square once again. I went to sleep.
The next day, I got to pay the consequences. I had a long day in school, not mentioning softball training, tonnes of homework and the impulse to do many other things made me felt tremendously tired. I was completely drained. Thank god that there some voices, messages that keep me going, I managed to came out of that adversity and finished my task.
The Next 3-4 days, almost the same thing happened. I grumble as I fold, cause when everyone is asleep, I still got to stay focus to complete my work. Folding Cranes not only Require determination, perseverence but also a thick skin. Literally and figuratively cause when my parents and brothers walk pass my room, they would give some "nice" comment about folding cranes. Hai. I'm like a object of scorn for e past week can. However, those comment for instance "How can you finish by sunday? 250 cranes leh!" by my y.bro made me even more zealous. HaHa.. Actually some of the comments were pretty funny.
(Fast-forward to saturday)
All thanks to disong, we managed to get a couple of tickets to the National day preview. It was awesome man! Min, Hongwei and I chiong straight to kallang after the worship prac rehearsal and throughout the whole journey, out adrenaline were pumping on and off cause we can get high even seeing someone wearing red! haha. Thank god that we managed to get some good seats that allow us to view the whole performance pretty well although it's quite sad that we could only veiw the performers backside.haha. On the other hand, I think that our seats were first class for watching the fireworks considering that it is not too high up where people got to hold umbrella or too low down which will be blocked the people on top.
The fireworks was the peak of the whole event and we got really lunatic.Haha. We were super duple high man. haha. Screaming and shouting was our forte and we ensure that enjoy ourselves by doing it. we tattoo ourselves and I love the part where all the people stood up together with their hands raising up with e flag and start singing all the songs that bind and bring all Singaporean, every races together.
This is just like how our hard work pays off when all our cranes meet. I'm really glad that I managed to keep my promise and I'm proud to say that I did my part!
On sunday, we celebrated XJ's birthday at seletar reservoir. It was really cool to see a car boot full of cranes, as all our hard work were presented to him. Got quite disappointed cause he had already knew what we're up to. Nontheless, it's still great to give him the present that cost all of our time and effort.
Playing a violin duet with disong was a really good experience cause I think that it sounds damn cool and good taking into account that the piece was rather easy. hehe. Hope that we can practice hard and give our all to our lord!
That evening, We went to town for a haircut as well as having dinner with Xianjie. Firstly, XJ suggested that we would go to orchard food court to have our dinner. unfortunately, the food court was under renovation. We had no choice and so we walked to one of the Japenese noodle house. Guess what? It was closed. What a rotten luck man. And so, we decided to take 111 from orchard to Potong pasir. Once again, our karma were damn rotten that we landed up in Douby Ghaut instead. Stunned man! We totally stone for a few seconds before we were struck back to reality. This type of things never ever happen to me before. What a big joke man. Thank god that the food at potong pasir was good.
Looking back, I think that my week is pretty interesting. hehe.
What does the lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your god.

Yesterday was a great day! Went to the Singapore's 1st band competition at victoria concert hall and I think that we really made a fool of ourselves. Disong, Hongwei and I went there after church and it's really fun going out with them. It was so fun to shout and scream in the concert hall after Min's performance has ended. haha. Although it was embarassing when everyone was looking at us, we felt great afterwards. Had a enjoyable dinner at subway after we left concert hall. I believe that our laughter was really loud and disturbing as well. haha.
Finally finished reading Rookies. The final volume was impeccable man. It is way which I wanted it to end and I have to say that this comic really taught me a lot.
If I have the chance, if I could manage my time well, I would definitely read it once again.
250 Cranes to fold by this week!

Softball Rookie
Rookie has been as inspiring as ever and I love reading it simply because it is so much related to me. Just came back from my softball training and I have to say that my god is really great cause he let me have the chance to become a softball player and I love softball to the core! Haha. Even though I'm physically tired after every training, but somehow I feel that it's all worth it cause I enjoy it greatly.
Today, I managed to hit some highflying balls and it feels really wonderful after you have done so. I have to work hard so that each and every time when I am betting, I can hit some powerful and driving balls.
Before the start of the training, a few of us risked our lives by playing soccer with those non-softball players. This is so because our coach seriously loathes those softball players who play any other sports other than softball. However, we push our luck by continue playing it when it was time for us to stop and start warming up. The consequences: 1) The five of us were prohibited to take part in the inter-class soccer competition which was going to start later in the evening. 2) We had to do the Maris style punishment by dribbling a soccer ball around the track 20 rounds, since we like soccer so much. When I heard this, I was totally stunned cause I was looking forward to the inter-class soccer match. Also, I do not wished to waste my training time kicking the freak ball around the track for so many rounds. However, for some reasons, coach did not make us do those things that he had said. Haha. Phew! We were super fortunate man. Haha
So, I went to the inter-class soccer competition. I believe that the seven players from our class including me were fantastic although we lost 2 nil. Hai. I sound so unconvincing.
Never mind. Budden it's true that we had put in the best effort trying to play some beautiful football. I have to congratulate our opponent cause we were totally no match for them. All of them look so experienced and skillful. However, we enjoyed ourselves and I think that that the main essence of the game. Deeming that you have already done and put in your best in whatever things you do from either it's studies or sports, can always raise one esteem and also work hard when there's another chance.

*Grins*
Just came back from church and I thank the lord for today! Today's service was pretty cool because we had Xianjie as the translator. I think that he did really well taking into consideration that this is his first time translating. When I looked at him standing on the stage, it made me think that our church looks really vibrant and young cause we hardly have the chance to see youth up on the pulpit. Hope that more and more youth will rise up to serve the lord whether it is translating, serving as a musician or even being a tutor.
Because today didn’t really crap around with min like usual, haha, I managed to find out that Disong was really a blessing to me. Talk to him after choir for a long time as we exchanged views on our philosophy and I have to say that it’s really inspiring to be seated next to him, listen to his life, his passion, his goal and how he is willing to achieve those things that he desire. Haha, it’s really great to have a friend like him. Thank god for him, our performance coach! haha!
Tomorrow will be a start of a new week and I pray that I can really make use of my time to achieve the things that I want. :)

The difference
I got up early one
Morning and rushed
right into the day;
I had so much to
Accomplish that I
didn't have enough time
to pray
Problems just tumbled
about me,and heavier came
each task;
"Why doesn't god help me?"
I wondered.
He answered," You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and
beauty, but the day toiled on
gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said,"But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into
God's presence;
I used all my keys at
the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided
"My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning and
paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish that
I had to take time to
Pray.

Ranting
I really like last Saterday cause the youth fellowship had some nice bonding session at Yiching house. Apparently, Basketball was not as rusty as I think and I love playing rugby with XJ and disong.
This week started pretty bad I guess. Was ultimately disgusted by the brillant zizou especially has notorious head butt which not only cause him a red card but also the World cup which they had been trying to get hold of. Congrats to those who supports the blues. That's a minus pt.
The villian in the finals. What a disgrace!
Not my team at all!
Italy's Fabio Cannavaro lifts the trophy after defeating France 5-3 in a shotout in the final of the soccer World Cup between Italy and France.
Gosh!
Next, Yesterday chinese A' level Oral examination was gone case. I seriously couldn't make it. What happen to my distinction for O's ? I stammered throughout the oral can.. Couldn't read almost 1/4 of the words in the passage. Damn it. I only got myself to blame. No one else. Of cause that another -tv pt.
Roger Federer match with nadal was exceptionally good. His powerful backhand, his overhead smashes plus his brillant 47 winning streak on grass outwit his nameiss. I really enjoyed watching it than the world cup considering that France lost.
Had Nafa is afternoon and guess what? I failed my standing board jump. The only component. Gosh. Now, other than working hard for my 2.4 which I nearly make it, jumping is my main concern. -tv pt.
Alright, shall stop ranting for the time being.

5 day break
This entry is going to be long cause I've not been blogging since a long time. Yup. Lots of activities going on this week and I really enjoyed myself!
On Friday night, I managed to witness an amazing and intriguing match between the host nation Germany and the mighty Argentina. I'm on the Germans side from the start of the match as I do not wish the Germs to be knocked out so quickly. Colin, my dad and I went to watch at MacDonald and I guess that it would be one of the best match I've seen during this world cup so far. Both of the team were great from the start but it was Argentina who changed the score line first a few minutes after the commence of the second half. The Germans the felt the pressure as they do not wish to be defeated as well as not disappointing millions of supporter world wide especially their native. And so 10 minutes before the final whistle blows, the leading top scorer of the world most prestigious tournament, klose, headed in the equalizer pushing the match to extra time. Really couldn’t believe it man. Everyone who was in the Mac screamed and shouted and the atmosphere was great. Damn high man.
Argentina could have sealed their place in the semi-finals if the ball went straight into the net instead of hitting the crossbar in the 2nd half of the extra time. What a waste man. The match then proceeds to the penalty shoot out which will determine the winner. OMG. LEHMMAN totally rocks man. He was the hero of the day as he saved two goals:) Hooray! Arsenal Goal keeper totally rocks man. Germany won 4-2! They are into the semi-finals!
On Saturday, I went to the national stadium for the Singapore youth festival 40th anniversary opening ceremony with the guys in my class. Damn cool sia. I got the chance to see the 3 top military bands in Singapore namely TKSS, BOWEN and DEYI secondary. Applause from me!
I believe that they really put in excessive effort in preparing for this grand event. Now I aspire to be like them man, in terms of my studies, violin and softball. I desire to be the best in whatever I do and I believe that I can achieve it only through my heavenly father, who gives strength to those who are weak, provide for those who are not satisfied. Gonna thank god for everything because he can make everything beautiful in his time. He has his timing for everything needless to say me.
Really had a great time out dere in under the scorching sun for like 4hours with the guys in my class. Haha. Especially playing the bong pong. Sometimes I wondered if I'm really studying in a junior college because when I was young, I always thought that those who were in junior college will be much more serious and mature. Apparently I'm wrong. Haha. Now when I'm in JC, most of my friends are still those people who are so lame and people who joke around. It makes me think that I'm still studying in lower secondary. Perhaps it is a blessing. Haha.
On the other hand, because of this event, I missed several appointments which I think that I should have gone. Hai. Regretting now. Especially not having the chance to see Su ai back to Australia. Hope that god will continue to bless her with wisdom, health and strength to continue her studies. The things that she has done for Agpc is greatly appreciated and I believe that the others would think so too. Really thank god for her.
On Sunday after church, I joined the junior youth fellowship as they were going to fly kite at marina. Yay! Thank god that I went. It's a great time to relax, enjoy good times with friends as well as putting all my work to a stop for the time being. Now, I realize that I must make full use of my time to enjoy while I can before next year, which imply that I'm in the final year of the JC life. Time really flies. Hai. Less than one and a half more years, I would be out of JC and preparing myself to serve the country.
Through this outing, I got to know one new guy called Roysten. Hope that he would not put too much pressure on himself and I hope that one day he would become a believer. Roysten reminds me of Wayne. I never knew that Wayne could make friends so easily. Haha. Xueying and me were like laughing our way out of the Mrt station as we were really amaze by Wayne character. Haha. Hope that he can make use of his talent to serve the lord and I believe that he has the potential to be one of a good leader. Haha.
After that, we went to have steamboat. Though I didn't really enjoy that food, I enjoyed the present of the people around me. They made me laugh and I found out a lot of interesting things about my friends. Haha. One of them is Zixin. He likes to suck out all the juices directly from the head of the prawn, which he thinks that it's nice. Haha. Anyway, I'm glad that god gave me so many wonderful friends! Hehe.
Yesterday, I went out with the TRIO. Hehe. Finally man. Haha. Although the time spent was little, we managed to catch up on each other’s life. Da jie, this is not going to be the last one right? Haha.
Tomorrow will be a holiday for my school. Yay! Love it man. Tonight I'm definitely going to watch the semi-finals. Germany vs. Italy. I'm rooting for the Germans! 3-1.Haha.

Bible knowledge competition
Getting the results of the Bible knowledge competition today after service was really amazing as I'm so proud of myself as well as those who went to participate especially Wayne and Brandon. We did fabulously well as we scored 30 points out of the maximum 40. Praise the lord! Even though both groups were short of 1 pt to get into the finals, I'm sure that we'd already gave our best and such results are considered laudable. haha. At the beginning, Jiawen and me thought that we would get 10 marks as we didn't really study for it even though the elders put in a lot of effort in preparing the question for us. However, we did great and well-done guys!
Not been playing softball of 2 weeks + holiday ending + Exams coming + No Trio outing + lots of hw not done yet = Deaded!=> According to Jas. haha
Deaded mentally, physically and thank god not spiritually. haha.
All the best for those who are having Exams!

Over soon...
Came back from Malaysia this morning 1kg heavier and guess what..My brother and I only stayed there for one day! haha. Amazing right? Had 6 meals yesterday as we were eating non-stopped from morning till night. I loved the food there especially the "buk ku teh" which is one of my favorite as you can't find any that is even close to the standard of it in Singapore. Living in Malaysia will really make one loosen up as we can temporary get away from all the pressure and stress that bombard us in every aspect of our life-mind, body and soul. In additional, my brother and I got to spent quality time with our grandparents that we always yearn for. That's the reason why I loved to go back to the place where I was born.
June Holiday will soon be over which means that Midyears is around the corner and I got to start mugging seriously. Not saying that I did not studying but rather I'm not feeling confident if my preparation for this examination is sufficient. Hope that I can concentrate studying when there are so many things I wanted to do at the same time. How I wish that I could multi task and quickly settle the things that I've been running away from.
Hey guys! Have you all heard of this term called "Overtone singing"?
A brief description of Overtone singing is when one is able to sing two independent tunes together at a same period of time. For instance, singing do re mi and la ti do simultaneously. Seems impossible right? You got to believe me that I heard it during the concert "Jerusalem Dreaming" which I mentioned during my previous post. It's incredible when you first hear it as you will ponder if he is using some hidden instrument or is he human at all. It's really mind-boggling and I believe that anyone who has the chance to hear it will be impressed.
Cars-Four star out of five. Thank god that I watched that instead of RV with my cousins last thursday.

Pull-up bar!
Thank God that There's RTM 1. haha.
Now I got the chance to catch live soccer matches straight from Germany!
It's cool man.
Though the reception is not very good which caused my whole screen to be covered with sparkling silver dots,
Watching live soccer match really rocks man!
Yesterday match between S.Korea and Togo was great!
Haha.
S.korea being one of the two teams sent to represent the whole of Asia continent made me feel that it's better to support them.
They played well last night considering that they were one goal behind Togo which was really unexpected.
They managed to equalize with a fantastic free kick and then fighting their way to win the match proving to the millions that they're still playing like four years ago where they were in the Semi-finals.
Tmr, I'll be going to a Concert! haha.
Yay!
Concert rocks man!
Venue: Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel
"Jerusalem Dreaming"
It's a choir + String concert by the Victoria Hanna and the Israeli contemporary string Quartet.
Look Forward to it!
Hope that it'll be good.
Actually my brother should be the one going instead of me.
He went to KL after the children camp instead of coming back home.
Anw, it's great for me too. haha
Bought the Doorway pull-up bar on the way back home today.
Actually I'd been eyeing for it since long ago.
Budden today I made up my mind and decided to buy it.
haha
I shall have a Target.
By the end of this year,
I'm going to do 12 pull-ups at one go!
haha
By next year, My Napfa Test will surely get Gold one.haha
Great!
Sumore by next year Nationals, I will be able to throw the ball further than my coach can see. haha
Fantastic investment. haha

Great weekend
Grandparent's birthday is on last Saturday and early in the morning, we all went to sentosa for a family gathering as they have not been to sentosa for a long time. That morning, I had a hard time getting off my bed as I watched the opening match of the world cup the night before where the host nation Germany beat Costa Rica by four goals to two.
We took the train around the island for some time and then we settled at the siloso beach where the adults chat and talk and the younger ones played freebie and softball. Guess what? I brought my softball gloves and ball to sentosa.haha. Though I didn't train much. haha. Didn't really spent much time on the beach as the rain starts to pour soon after we started playing. Took quite a few photos before we went out of sentosa.
Because we had ample time before the dinner, my brother, mingming and I took a shutter bus from city hall to marina. Walk around the whole complex before heading towards Carl's Jr to try out their huge burger and of cause their free flow drinks. haha. Kind of cheapo cause the three of us shared a superstar cheeseburger meal which cost $10.50. It was fun refilling the drinks but embarrassing at the same time.
After having our meal, we went to the hotel where my grandparents will be staying for the next two days to bath and changed up for the dinner where everyone of the family will be present. When we entered the room, the first thing that we did was to go straight to the balcony. At the 62nd storey, we saw the Singapore that we have not seen before. The view was extraordinary and incredible because at such a height, we could see the magnificent skyline of Singapore, the upcoming integrated resort, and the curve and turn of the Singapore River that passes through the CBD, the Clark quay and many other places.
Dinner at one of the Hakka restaurant was great. Though it was quite small for so many people, but the food serve was above average as most of us were satisfied with it. We got the chance to taste some of the traditional hakka food which we all haven't eaten before. I really enjoyed the food as well as the family gathering as we seldom have the chance to get together as a big family considering that quite a few of my auntie and uncle lived in Malaysia.

Yesterday after church, I went to Esplanade with Tuanqi to watch a free concert called "Sparks goes pop". It's a band concert by River valley and yuhua sec and most of the songs played were contemporary and lively as the name of the concert suggested. Enjoyed the concert really much as the band was really good.haha. This concert will be my 7th concert in just 2 months and I believe concert is valuable as it will not only inspire you to become a better musician, but also let you experience the wonderful music created by our god.
Went to Marina square with a couple of people after the concert to hand out for a while, as it's still a holiday after all. haha. Went to the arcade and we all played Daytona which I've not played since a long long time. Guess what? I came in last. Hai.Seriously I'm not good at this type of games. Actually I could have came in ahead of min min one.Budden somehow I went into the pit stop to change my tire in the last lap and so I'm the loser lar. hai. It's alright. haha
Couldn't watch the World cup but on a lighter note, I could watch the Roland Garrous Men's single final between the World No.1 Roger Federer vs. the clay court wonderkid Rafael Nadal who has a 59th game winning streak on clay and had already beaten Federer for the third time this year. In the end, after 3 hours plus, Rafael Nadal, the defending champion once again proves to be the best in clay. Kinda sad for me as I was hoping that Ferderer could win and become the third player to have all the grand slam under his belt.
Anw, I really had a great weekned!

S0606 outing at Marina
On Tuesday, I went to Marina bay for a class gathering and I had a great time having steamboat with class S0606. The date was 06/06 and so that's the reason why we chose to have a gathering on this day. Even though many couldn't make it either it's too far (haha) or some other weird reasons, but the time we spent together was really precious and special as we have not been seeing each other for so long and also because we couldn't have all the fun we had all over again.
As we were heading towards the bus-stop, a lady approached us trying to pull us to her place for steamboat with free transportation as exchanged and the immediate changed of walking pace as well as the facial expression of everyone was damn funny at that moment. After discussing for some time, we decided to reject her offer and we waited for the bus to arrive.
Bus 402 arrived first and all of us happily went on board without making sure where it will bring us. So, we chat and chat until a point when the bus driver shouted at us, " Where are you all going? This is the last stop! " And one of us replied, " To the place where we're going to have steamboat. " Thankfully the bus driver was kind enough to send us back to the place where we board the bus or else it will waste more of our money on transportation. Yay man Alford! Concession rocks man! haha. Anw, besides wasting our money, our time was wasted too. Almost half an hour after boarding the first bus, we were back to the same place again. Arr..What worse was that we saw the lady who offered us the free ride there provided that we go to her place for steamboat.. At that moment, I really think that we're loser can. haha. Damn embarrassing sia.
All thanks to Javier and Alford, we managed to buy the soft drink at a bargain price of $1.00 per can. haha. The food was pretty nice though it was a bit salty and we had a nice time eating junk food. Ate a lot of meat man which is high in protein that allows me to become stronger so that I can throw the ball further and faster. haha. See, everything that I eat have a purpose. haha.
During this outing, a few of the guys including me got the chance to experience the feeling of killing live prawn. It's super duple gross at first as when we were trying our best to kill the prawn using chop sticks and spoon, we could still see the prawn wrestling with us, trying to escape death. However, after a few killing, some of us were getting fustrated as the killing process was too slow and that resulted Alford to use his bare hands to kill the innocent but delicious prawn.
The short time that I spent with them was really pleasurable and I hope that I don't have to wait until Dec 7 before I can meet them again.

Adrenaline rush
Had a great day in church today! hehe. Played softball with Disong and a few guys outside the church compound as Disong brought two gloves and a ball. Because of the adrenaline rush after reading the comic that inspire me to be a good softball player and also the determination to prove to my coach that I'm way better than his 'C' division Maris boys, I've decided to train my softball technique whenever there's a chance. Haha. Today Disong brought one right hand glove and a left hand catcher glove, which was quite weird as both players are right handed and it's more comfortable to throw the ball using our right hand. So, it's quite funny to see one of us after catching the ball, we got to take off the glove and then throw it using our right hand. Anyway, gonna thank him for the effort by bringing the glove and ball. Had lots of fun with them and I hope that I'll be able to borrow the gloves from my school and bring it next week. haha.
Alright, got to go and watch the Major League Baseball: New york yankees vs baltimore orioles which just started. Take care everyone and have a great week ahead!

Majestia
Friday night was indeed fun and enjoyable. Had a long bus ride from sengkang to parkway parade before meeting sentat who was holding two stalk of fresh pink flower in his hands. Haha. He refused to go into the flower shop at the beginning but after much persuasion from his buddy, he finally had the courage to buy it. haha. You look fine. haha. Trust me. We were there 25 mins earlier than the start of the concert "Majestia”, which was rather an enjoyable concert perhaps it's because sentat was seated beside me.
Don't worry Jasmine; the concert is not as horrid as you think.hehe. You all did well, especially the part when you all have to perform together with your section. haha. Sentat and I were damn high can?! Shouting "piggy" and "pyralis" continuously took us lots of guts can.haha. We had to wait for the right timing to shout or else it would definitely make us damn malu. Anyway. I really like your school cheer as it really shows how well your college made the pupils feels towards it. The vj guy next to me was really engaged with the cheer from the way I see him scream and shout with passion and pride. He added, "I really like this cheer man!" after the cheer ended. haha.
Sunday after church, while Disong, Xianjie, Hongwei and I were waiting for min's meeting to end, we had a great time exercising. Playing chapteh was really fun man. After playing the two vs two, Xianjie requested the match against me. haha. I accepted the request and then we started the exhilarating game. I lost the first two set to him as I was kind of not focus budden somehow the feeling and determination to win the game turn the match the other way round. haha. I won in the end and I have to say that the match was excellent. The match was also giving a name called "Mr. consistency vs The Impregnable defense".
Managed to catch X-Men 3, the last show of the trilogy. It was nice budden somehow it didn't have a conclusion. Not really disappointed as I had a great time with those who went. Nice dinner yeah min. haha.
I really wanna thank god for giving me so many wonderful friends the brighten up my life.haha

Thoughts and feeling
Am I supposed to sit down right in front of the computer, typing journey entry while there's a major examination tomorrow waiting for me to study and excel. After reading Ben’s blog, I seriously agree with him that is Singapore really a country that well developed where its citizen don't have any places to rest and relax their mind, body and soul? Is this the result of why Singaporean is so stress and occupied by some routine work such as schooling, working or even housekeeping?
For me, after having a taste of what JC life is all about, I find that time indeed is not on my side. Everyday after school upon reaching home, I would have a routine work to do and to name some will be like 1100 words to be completed everyday, music theory and the endless pill of tutorials. Common words that I've always heard from a typical JC student would be "sian la","stress man","Boring sia","i'm so sick of it" and "damn tired man". I believe that those who are reading will agree with me. It's true! Life is so structured and monotonous as in everyday in a week, we're doing something that is so repetitive. Somehow, one day or another, we'll be going nuts just like the guy seating on my left this afternoon during the economics test. Basically what I can see is that he didn't study even though it's a common test, which constitute quite a large percentage of marks into the promos. Not even about an hour after the commence of the paper, he requested to leave the examination hall. Is there any problem with him? Does he know that it's an examination but not a test? I would think otherwise. Even if it's a test, I believe that we must also put in the minimum effort in it.
Holidays is coming and I've been keeping track of what assignments I'm suppose to do instead of what activities I'm going to take part in, when's the date I'm free to go out with my long lost friend etc. Am I supposed to continue to deceive myself that this is what everyone is going through? Arr..I want my life back!
Yay! After school tomorrow will be the start of the one-month holiday. And tomorrow night, I'll be going to vj for the band concert which I think it's a good way to relax as well as a great way to kick start the holiday.Hooray! Hope that it'll be pleasant and fun..haha..with sentat! Alright! Shall begin studying for tomorrow's physics exam.

Remembering Events
It has been a long 9 days since I last blog about my life, my journal entry. Life has been quite demanding and tough for me because of all the work given by school, activities that is compulsory to attend, CCA which thankfully always lift up my spirit in school, grade 5 theory which need to be learnt by October and many other things which I could not list down. Ever since I've become a JC student, I sleep at around 12 midnight and have to wake up at 6am in the morning. Because of that, I've been late for school like 7 out of 10 times. This is absolutely terrible. I don't want it but I couldn't help it. I've got to change!
13th May 2006(Sat)
My dad and I was in the taxi and seconds later, I realised that the violin that I brought along with me since my violin lesson was missing. I was shock to learn that it was nowhere near me. Where could it go? My thoughts filter through a lot of the places that I've been to and then, I was sure that it's in the restaurant which I had my dinner not long ago. I began running down a couple of streets to retrieve my violin. Thank god that my violin was still there when I entered or else I'll be really depressed over the loss of my precious violin.
14th May 2006(Vesek day)
On this day, I went out with my church friends as it was a holiday where everyone don't need to go to school and so we hope that this gathering could foster a closer relationship among the youth. FYI, actually we're the ones that chose not to go for the one day Malaysia trip organized by the church. Everyone of us has our own reasons of not going and so Xianjie organize this outing for us.
Heard from my brother that the trip was really fun and they enjoyed it really much. I've also seen some of the photos that were taken during the trip and it further made me regret of not going. However, I was glad to realise that I would not have as much fun as him even if I go. My entire clique didn't go and so I wouldn't have enjoyed as much compared to the outing that I went.
Had a lot of fun playing soccer with my church friends. Got to see the sporty side of these people namely zixin, ezra, xiwen, disong, min, xianjie, hongwei, my bro and esmond. Had lots of crazy moment with them especially during the time where goals were scored. We played for almost 2 hours and scored quite a number of goals but many of the guys didn't expect me to top the scoring chart. haha. What an achievement.*Grinz* The number of goals that I net in was close to 10 and I was named the star player of the day. haha. Should stop gloating now, as I should also give credit to disong, my always-energized goal provider. He assisted close to half of what I've scored and he also kick in some too. Got injured as I pulled a muscle of my feet. It looks bad and it feels bad too. Everyone ached somewhere after the game. haha. Must thank god for the wonderful time we had and also for withholding the rain that started pouring after the soccer match.
After the soccer match, we went to lunch at a coffee shop near Disong's house. Crashed his house after the satisfying meal and I love his house. His plan and simple tatami styled room was really nice. Found out that he and his 2 brothers is a comic manic. Can you imagine that their collection in total should be able to open a comics shop? haha. DS lent me a comic that's about baseball and I think that I will like it.haha.Kinda related to me. Besides that, his house is like a gym. Pull-up bar, lots of dumbell and exercising machine everywhere around his house. Played naruto on the PS2 with a few guys as I don't know how to play bridge with XJ,min,DS and esmond.
Supposed to meet my secondary school friends at marina bay for a class gathering as we're going to have steamboat. Then, the unexpected happened. When I reached home, I found out that I forgot to bring my house key along with me. So, I decided not to join them as in when my parent reached home, it would be damn late to meet them and sumore I looked so shack after a tiring day and also bacause of my injury. I was seating outside of my house, reading the comic while waiting for my parents to arrive.
14th May 2006(Mother's day)
Under the recommendation of yu bao pastor, our family went to watch a Choir concert by a some really famous Philippine youth choir to celebrate mother's day. At the beginning, the Choir was all right as they all sang the slow songs. However, after the interval, they try to add in some skit thru singing and I thought that it's somehow similar to "singing in the rain". haha. Really enjoyed it, as the choir was superb. The unison of their sound is amazing. After that, we all had dinner that gluttons bay. The food was nice and I like it really much.
15th May 2006(College Sea sports day)
Went to kallang after school for the sea sports carnival. haha. I took part in only one competition and it is dragonboat. haha. It's really physical challenging and I had quite a bad ache for my arms. Budden the whole event was fun and it indeed made our class more bonded.haha. Our 2nd class outing in one month k. haha.
17th May 2006(wed)
2 more hours!!!! Guess what? ARSENAL VS Barcelona...haha.. Starting in 2 hrs... haha..Alright..I'll wake up two hours later..Wait for my good news!!! haha.

Highbury(1913-2006)
It's all going Arsenal way! Yesterday after clearing up all of my doubts regarding physics in church with Weisin and Andrew, I went back home for the long awaited soccer match between Arsenal and Wigan. It was the last match of the season and it was also a day that is worth remembering. Farewell Highbury. Arsenal played their last match yesterday at the magnificent and historical Highbury. From 1913 to 2006, Highbury had been Arsenal fortress all these years. The match was fantastic and anticipating. Beating Wigan 4-2 at the famous old venue which had been the north-London club's home for 93 years was enough to send them into champion league next season. Of cause West ham got to be credited as well as they have done Arsenal a favor by beating Tottenham 2-1 which thrown them outside the four champion league spot. Haha. Every thing is going Arsenal way!
I've to agree that Wigan played well last night, but it was not enough to stop the Best player on earth( My point of view) Thierry Henry . Once again, he stole the limelight by making his last Highbury appearance with a hat-trick. He scored 27 goals in the premiership alone and I believe that he will once again lead Arsenal on 17 may and destroy Barcelona to win thier first champion league title.

Sport's day
Falcon Falcon, Falcon on the fire
Need no water, flames go higher
Falcon Falcon, Falcon on the Fire
Raise the heat make you bow to our feet!
Today's sport meet was fantastic. Just like what our principal had said, this is the best sport's day I've ever attended, as it was electrifying and full of excitement. I felt the same way to. We cheered for our own houses and scream out our lungs for the cheering competition. This sport's day was totally different from the past sport meet I've been to. The atmosphere was amazing and it made everyone so high. Had a lot of fun especially during the cheering competition I shall say that today was the best in my stay in this college in a way that it gave me a sense of belonging. However, it's just a start. Who knows if there's momentum that will continue to make this college and fun place. I would think otherwise.

Abounding Gratitude
Went to the violin concert the day before yesterday. Praise the lord that violin is such and beautiful and wonderful musical instrument. The heavenly sweet melody, the mature tone and the soothing sound, can be produced just by four impressive strings. Ain't it worth praising the lord for? I really wanna thank god for putting music in to my life. No only does it add entertainment and activities into my life, it adds colour, purpose and life to it. The way for me to return my thanks to him is to play my violin well for him. Not just returning it back to him, but returning the best and the most beautiful music I can produce. Through my music, I may draw people closer to him and let him be glorified. Thanks god that through this concert, i'm inspired to play my violin better, especially for my lord.
This concert was a special one for me because I was accompanied by 7 adults including Di song and Jassica as they were 19. haha. Di song and I got a treat from Yongzhen.Yay! The reason for his and mine were different. It was his 20th birthday on that day, thus yongzhen decided to pay for him. As for me, it's normal that when you go out with working adults, it's hard for us to search for our wallet. haha. Of cause I insisted on paying half, but still she decline. haha. Felt so thankful. I must really thank god that your blessings are always so abundant for me. Thank you

Choir camp
Falling Sick on Friday was terrible. It's my first time in this year. Firstly was sore throat and then followed by flu, cough and fever. It's like a package where you buy 1 and get 3 free. Couldn't go for my violin lesson was heart- aching, as I wanted to make use of each and every lesson to improve my skills. Besides that, I also had to miss the discipleship and Tuanqi in the evening. So, it gave me ample time to rest and recover, that I could at least have a chance to go for the choir camp. Give thanks to My Awesome heavenly father! I'm back from the choir camp.
The choir camp was a blessing for me as I got to know more about the people around me. Don't really have much time talking to those who I always left out partly because I'm too occupied with the lessons and programme which come simultaneously. On top of that, the short sermon on choir members really caught my attention. I thank god that I'm so privilege to be a priest, a prophet and a teacher for you. I really want to thank you lord that your grace is always abundant for us especially min and I. You gave us enough time to prepare for the game and making the game that we organize a success. Receiving positive comments was really heart-warming for both of us as both of us put in quite a lot of efforts in it. I'm so happy that they enjoyed the games and participate so enthusiastically.
Shanhan's Sunday school lesson was brilliant. I really liked the two flask clips that were shown to us. Got inspired by one of the clips that was another version of the footprint. Indeed he has already walked through the path that we're going to take and I believe that he will definitely guide and lead us through as long as we follow his footprint and his words. He knows our sorrow, our pain, our happiness and of cause our future. We do not have to worry about tomorrow, as he is already there no matter what happens.

Rain Rain go away!
Rain, rain and rain. I dislike it. I don't like rainy days. Especially today. Today is the day that I’ve been looking forward to since last week because our school softball team was supposed to have a match with them. I don't care about the results but I just wanna look at them playing softball and find out how strong they are. However, due to the rain, which I’ve been praying about it, made me feel so hapless when my coach said that the match would be postpone to next week.
Went back to Nchs to collect back my O level certificate. Once I took it, I don't even feel like looking it can. It sucks man. I hate it. Because of it, I'm now stuck in T**c. Hai. Dunno wat to say Alr.
Anyway, there's one thing that is worth celebrating. My Arsenal.haha. They are into their first ever Champion league final. Really could not believe that they have gone through so much. Beating Real Madrid, Juventus and now Villarreal. On top of that, they managed to have 8 clean sheets in total.haha. I'm so proud of them. Now there's one more step before them. It's May 17, Stade de France. They will be facing either Barcelona or AC Milan.
Dad has been in china for two days already and hope that he will be able adapt well there. haha. Anw, 2 more days to go for him I think.haha.

Long weekend
On Friday evening, after softball training, I rushed down to AJ for the harmonica concert. The concert started at 6.45pm and I thought that it would end at around 8.45pm, which is like 2hr later. However when I entered AJ auditorium at 8pm, I heard the word "Encore!” I was shock by this word. The concert ends at 8.10pm, which was 10mins after I’d stepped into the auditorium. I was so disappointed can. After 1hr of traveling time, I end up not even hearing a song. Alright, I should stop complaining because I should have told my coach to let me off earlier.
Met sentat at J8 to shop for jasmine's B'day gift. Because of her, me and sentat went into SaSa to buy the mask for her. haha. It's really weird because how on earth would two guys go into this kind of shop. It was so embarrassing at that point of time. Also, we bought a card of sympathy instead of a b'day card for jas. haha. We thought that it was rather unique, creative and interesting. haha
Went to cut my hair after my violin lesson at Far East on Saturday. Getting there was terrible, as I couldn't find my way there. It's not that I’ve never been there before but somehow my intuition brought me to the wrong place (Far east shopping complex). Called min for help.haha. Finally after like 15mins, I reached Far East plaza. Anyway, I’m pretty satisfied with the hairdresser. hahah. Looked quite cool after styling. However after cutting my hair, I still find my hair a bit long.haha
Carnival at my college was horrendous. The whole place was so dead and i really don't like it. Hai. Wasted my time much of my time as i was seating at LT4 doing absolutely nothing. Actually i was supposed to be in school for the cleaning up but then after waiting for so long, i gave up and went home. During this carnival, i saw the other side of Chee boon. haha. FYI, He's 37 and on that day, he wore levi's jeans, Adidas shoes and tight fit t-shirt. haha. The way he dresses himself reminds me of roy.haha. Metrosexual.
In the evening, Went to winchester's dinner. It's fine dining btw. haha. Our clothing got to be smart casual and i think all of us look cool.haha. Enjoyed the dinner a lot as the food was great, the whole ambience was fantastic and of cause the people who dine with my made my day even better. After this dinner, i got to know more about dining. haha. We must use the cutlery from outside to inside, no leaning of elbows on the table and many more.haha.Winchester was the restuarent manager on that day and his clothing was super formal. haha. As for the main dish, it's salmon and i love it really much considering that it doesn't have the type of smell which i don't like. As for Elvin, i was quite disappointed with him because he simply couldn't behave like an adult. Really dunno what to say.
On sunday, which is yesterday, after attending the combine service of all the presby churches in S'pore indoor stadium, all of the musician had a retreat at Fish and Co. haha. Min and I shared the seafood platter for two. OMG. It's damn nice can.*Drooling* haha. Despite all the ulcers in my mouth, I still ate all the fried food. hai. Couldn't resist the temptation.haha.
After such a heavy lunch, went to meet sentat and cinli at Plaza singapura. It's nice to see them because i really miss them very much. About half an hour later, jasmine, our birthday girl joined us. haha. We took neoprint together and made lots of noise in the machine. haha. Even until now, I still dunn think that I'd changed the selection of the print k. haha. I'm innocent can. hai.you all bully me. haha. Made me take the ugliest print. Went to Pepper lunch express for dinner and we crap and talk alot. haha. Btw, me, jasmine and sentat saw KELLY POON. haha. She's really short and she looks rich. That's my comment.haha
Overall, I wanna thank god for giving me such a wonderful weekend as it really helped me to relax myself.Thanks god.
Btw, It's 4 schol day week for next two weeks. Yay!
Have a good week ahead everyone!

Ester Sunday
Ester Sunday was good. I believed that everyone had worked hard for the lord on this day. This year's Ester Sunday was quite special as the choir led the whole service. Thanks god that it was considered a success as the entire programme worked out fine. Really glad to hear that people saying that the songs that I’ve played were really touching. *Grinz*. I'm not gloating alright. haha. Really wanna thank god for giving me the chance to serve him through violin. Hope that I can continue to use this instrument to bring people closer to our lord.
After the service, we had a Technical session(Jamming)with stephen. He taught us many things that will be useful to lead the congregation into worship. Besides, he also corrected us the things that we always did but it was technically wrong. Hope that we can really improve and be able to let our god use us.
Caught Ice-age 2 with Xianjie and min yesterday night.It was a funny show however i did not expect the plot to be so bad.haha.Like what jasmine said, " Go watch cartoon=waste of money." haha.
Why did they nail his hand
when his love would have held him there?

Good Friday
I wanna thank god for this week. It's stressful, tons of homework awaiting for me to complete as well as fighting for time to study, or i should say catching up with my tutorials. However, i'm able to pull it through at least for this week. Thank you my big father.
Firstly what i'm going to say is Softball rocks.haha.Yesterday match against VJ was superb.haha. Everyone was screaming their lungs out to cheer for our softball team. haha. I've never seen a softball match before but i believed that this was a awesome match. haha. We Won!!! 9-2 was the final score for the guys team. haha. congratulation to them once again.haha. Especially for ARIEF. He was the man of match,at least to us.haha. He made a home run and the coach was so happy and said" that's my boy." haha.. I've never seen the coach so happy before.haha. As for the gals, they got trashed by the VJ gals. According to jas, they rocks and yesterday i got to witness it.haha.yup! They were too good for us. We seemed so inferior as compared to them. 21-2 was the score.hai. congrats to them.haha. Alright, up next will be JJC. Hope that we will remain aggressive and beat them.haha.
Tomorrow will be Good friday. Yeah. No school but then i'll be busy until sunday. Got lots of songs to practice and hope that i can play some beautiful music to the lord. Thank you lord for sacrificing your only son to us. Dying on the cross for us,sinners, forgive us and save us. Thank you lord.
Where can I go from your presence
Under your wings I take refuge
Your spirit lives within my heart
I know I'll never be apart
Everyday, I draw closer to you lord
I long to see your face
And hide in your embrace
All my life, dwelling in o=your holy place
My heart O Lord you've changed
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same

Aaron's birthday party
Yesterday was a busy day. In the morning, i went to violin lesson and then to church for the bible study. Yesterday's bible study was not as usual because we also celebrated weirong's birthday.haha.His my younger brother for your info.haha.At the end of the lesson,all the people who were in the church rushed into the room, with the cake and the candles and they sang birthday songs for him.haha.
After that, i went back to my secondary school to receive my money.haha.Got cheated can.Actually the whole event was supposed to start at 5.45pm. Budden they told me that i'm supposed to reach there by 4pm.Waited for so long can.Sumore i'm wearing my college uniform.Super embarressing can.Didn't expect to go on the stage to get a plague.haha.It was quite cool though and i like it really much.Of cause i did receive the cheque and i was equally pleased.haha.Left the school at around 7.15pm which was way beyond what i've expected.I was supposed to be at aaron's birthday party like 7.30pm.Disappointed.
After waiting 10mins for the bus,i gave up and took the cap instead. It was pretty amazing that esmond,xianjie and i reached at the same time. Esmond took a taxi which was in front of me,and XJ was driving behind me all along.haha.Coincidentis the word! haha.. It's so glad to see him turn 21 so happily .haha
Was really high when me and alot of guys was going to dunk aaron into the pool.haha.However our plan failed when the security told us that we were not allowed to do it as it will dirty the pool.OMG.It's like one in a life time experience for aaron can.hai.Super anti-climax sia. Hai.Budden in the end,we still managed to slam a mixture of all kind of sauce right into his face..haha..It was really mean lor.haha.
I'm still sixteen!

Cedanza
Cedanza.Went to watch the concert cedanza with hongwei,xianjie and his friend which i forgot his name at victoria concert hall.What a fabulous performance by the RGSSB.I'm really impressed by what they did 3 hours ago.hehe.No wonder they got Gold with honour during last year's syf. Well Done MinMin! I'm so proud of you. Finally you are able to pull it through after all these years.haha. I can see that for this concert, you have put in a lot of effort and i believe that all this had paid off.Today's concert brings back the time when i was still in the string orchestra. Training and practicing for a performance is not as simple as it is. Lots of commitment are required and some times you got to sacrifice things such as time for watching television or even studying time.
Overall, i really enjoyed this concert and thank god that i did not regret going.haha.Actually i don't intent to go because i thought that i was broke.But then dunno why,i suddenly got the urge to go and support minmin.haha.I did not tell her that i was going and she only got to find out during the interval. She was so shocked to find me there and because of that, she cried.haha.so funny.Yup.She didn't expect me to be there.haha.What a surprise!
I really want to thank god that he gave me the chance to go to cedanza. The reason why i say so is because this week supposely was the busiest. I got all sorts of homework, assignment and project to do.If you were to ask me if i'm Stress, i would say of cause i am.I'm scared that i could not finish up my Project ideas for PW on time, homework not done when i'm suppose to hand in and thus i'm being left behind time. Thanks god that yesterday i don't have softball training, i got the "extra" time to finish my first PI draft.On top of that,for today's consultation, my PI draft was approved.Although there are some minor mistakes,but then it is like three quarter done. This means that i don't have to waste any more time thinking of ideas and redoing the whole PI. Yay! That's why i'm so pleased to go to the cedanza.
Next, Arsenal. If you read through my last blog,you would know what i'm going to say.
Arsenal Rocks!!! YES!!! They are into their first ever Champion League semi-finals. Although they drew with juventus this morning,the final aggregate was 2-0.haha. Arsenal all the way...Besides that, my college softball team won National jc softball team.haha.yeah.What a good start! Next is against VJC. So sad that because this match is going to be played at homeground, i can't go the vj..hai.
Something that's not funny happened in my college today. After my physics practical started about 5 minutes, the fire alarm rang continuously. Everyone seemed to take things so lightly that we all did not even panic.I don't know if that's good or bad.hai.Then when we were about to go to the field, one of the teacher told us to return to our class and said that it was a false alarm.hai.What a waste of our time sia.Hope that it will not happen again.haha.

Emily's farewell party
Finally i have the chance to blog once again.This week had been a really busy one for me as i've got endless pile of tutorials to do as well as co-curriculum activities to cope with.Although i'm currently under lots of stress,however like what yongchen said,"Even thought you're stress,but from your face,i can tell that you enjoy it right?" Actually at first i dunn quite really agreed with her.But then as i looked back,i found out that all these stress is not given by my friends or teachers.It is me.I want to be a top student,i want to top the cohort,i want this and i want that.And this will go on forever.My unlimited wants.That's what motivate me and thus,i'm so called stress.In fact,this are not really stress.I knew it the best.I know that i can get through it as long as i continue to walk with him,stick to his word and i'm sure he will lead me to the place i want.He knows my limit and he will never put me in a situation i can never handle.I must have faith in him.
Alright.For this part of the blog,it is all about Emily's farewell party.FYI,yeaterday was the party.The venue was at Aranda country club which i mistaken it as Arenda.Emily's going to USA to further her studies..Marryland i think.haha.The time i spent there with class S0606 was really great and enjoyable.Getting there was quite troublesome for me as i've never been there before.In total,i took 5 buses from church to the country club.haha.amazing right? I also couldn't believe it.haha.Coincidentally,javier happen to see me at the mrt station and so i got to follow him there instead of finding my way there.Then,we waited for samuel for a very long time until we decided to PS him.haha.Met up with the PHS gals at the bus interchange.haha.I was really glad to see them after such a long period of time.haha.They seem to be the same as the last time i saw them.haha.Got to catch up with them qite alot about their life in AJ and that's the time where i got to look at the Diary S0606 made for emily as a farewell gift.Seriously,i like it really much.It contains all the testimonial from all the people of class S0606 and it includes alots of photo that brings back the memories when we were all still in the same class.haha.Really miss the time spent in AJ.
As i entered the chalet,i saw a few of my classmate which i have not talked to since i left Aj.haha.After talking to them,we all went down to the BBQ pit to start the fire.haha.Actually i did not contribute much in setting up the fire as i was busying trying to talk to people.Waited for a long time before the fire was up and we started the "Uncle Muthu's satay" and "Auntie Fatimah's sausagues" stall.haha.We were competing against one another who's better.haha.It was so fun can.Everyone is so enthusiastic and high.haha.We took quite alot of photos together,with and without the teeth.haha.Then at one particular point,we were all super high.haha.Everyone started singing songs together.haha.We sang chinese,malay and even tamil songs.haha.Actually is all racial harmony songs.haha.We also sang the AJC college song and the orientation theme song which we couldn't figure out the lyrics.haha.All of us was damn high.haha.Yeah Class S0606 rawks.
Then we went back to the chalet and we were all praticing the song "peng you" for Emily.We intented to give her a suprise when she comes into the room.haha.We turned off the lights and waited for her to come.Inside the room,we were all very anxious and everyone feels like peeing.haha.
And finally when she comes in,we sang the song for her and yitian presented the diary to her.She felt so touched budden she didn't cry.We were all like looking at her when she fliped through the diary.haha.Kinda funny budden everyone was so sad the she's leaving us.Hai.We took sumore photos before those who are not staying leave.Then i took e cab with siping,yishin and xingyi back to sengkang.haha.It's amazing that 3 gals can talk non-stop throughout the journey.haha.
So that's all for Emily's farewell party.Before i went to the party,i was at the church having rehearsal for today's service.haha.I really enjoyed playing the violin and thanks god that my improvising skills are getting better.haha.
Finally ,ARSENAL ROCKS!!! Firstly,they won Juventus 2 nil in the first leg of the champions league quaterfinal .haha.HENRY and FABREGAS is the best.haha.Hope that Arsenal can advance to the semifinals and even win the champion league.haha.Today,they won 5 nil agaist Aston villa.haha.Yeah..They are going to overtake Tottenham..haha.
So that's all for today.Take care everyone!

Ah mui's homes
In my whole life, I never knew that shaking someone's hand is so difficult.Normally,i would be so generous shaking hand with those people who I got to know.Eg New friends.However yesterday was a totally different case for me.After the bible study, I went to Ah mui's homes(or whatever you call that) with a few adults as well as some around my age.Honestly speaking, I’ve never been to a home before.Yesterday was my first time.As I stepped into the home, I knew that this is a place of misery,a place of dispair and a place where old people were abandoned.In each room,there were about 8 to 9 people living inside.Of cause all of them were of the same gender.From their facial expression, I could see that none of them were wish to be there but they don't have a choice.All of them looked so depressing and life is so difficult to go on.As expected,most of them is so skinny and bony.On top of that,due to their age,their hands shrunk,thus their skin looked really eroded and wrinkled.Thats why i shook their hands so reluctantly.
But in my mind,i knew the reasons why i was there.I'm not there just to experience or get to know how thier life is so pathetic,but to bring laughter to them,showing our concern to them by shaking their hands givingly or even look and smile at them.Thats why i started to open up my heart to accept them and not ostracizing them.
We sang to them a few songs to liven up their mood and one of the pastor told them a really short sermon which is about how our heavenly father still love them even if they were abandon by their loved ones.When I looked at them,i really felt like crying because their faces show no expression and some of them even had their legs amputated.
Alright,for today,as usual went to church until around 3-4pm.haha.Today's tuanqi was pretty fun although the programme was prayer meeting.haha.Most of the people turn up but then there were some who didn't.haha.Love it especially singing the songs.It gave me a really warmed and cosy feeling.haha.Love combine tuanqi.Yay!
Now i'm learning drum fron Hongwei.haha.I thought that drummers are usually very cool.haha.Love playing the drum because it gave me a sense of achievement when i can keep hitting at a stable beat.haha.Besides,i also hope that one day i can use this instrument to serve the lord! haha

Pale Green in colour
This weeek is kind of usual for me,as everything seemed to fall nicely in place.Although i got to meet my new classmate,i don't feel anything so special about it.Perhaps it is because in this short and sweet three months,i got to make three groups of friends.Namely my OG people in Ajc which i still didn't forget them,my class S0606 and my Og people in Tpjc.Even though i still didn't get to know my classmate really well,but until now,four days already,i'm able to get well along with them.Hope that this class will be really bonded,so that we can work and study together as a class and i can have a few trustworthy friends which i can depend on.
Finally! I bought my graphic calculator and school uniform.haha.There's a little secret between me,shangyong and marcel.haha.Cannot reveal the content as i had promised them.haha.btw,i'm feeling abit guilty now.hai.Anyway,the Graphic calculator is really hard to manipulate.Don't even know how to insert the equation in the beginning.haha.Budden now abit pro already.haha.For my college uniform,it's pale green in colour which i think that it look really ugly.Seriously i don't like this colour.But who cares if i like it anot.I still got to wear it afterall.Life is so miserable.Both college uniform and collar pin are dotz.haha.Should not grumble so much.haha.Going to alter my pants like 10cm in length.haha.Cause actually i'm suppose to wear the size 28,budden it is too tight and i cannot pull it down to my butt, thus i changed it to size 30.haha.That's why now my pants is so long.haha.Got to wear it by monday or else sure will get scolding by my teacher.haha.
Had softball training yesterday.haha.Still learning how to bet,catch and throw the ball correctly.haha.love softball.haha.Finally got to see my coach.He is those type of person that you cannot afford to make him angry.haha.His face remain so serious and focus throughout the whole training.haha.Maybe because i'm just an amateur,he didn't talk to us.It's so funny rite? I think he has to focus on those experience player as national's is like two weeks time.hai.haha.I don't think that i can participate in this tournament.Sad sia.haha.Budden i'll be there supporting them.haha.
Btw during training yesterday,i broke the blister on my right thumb.Actually before the training,it was perfectly fine.Not even a single scratch on my thumb.Betting is crazy can,that's why there is this huge broken blister on my thumb.hai.There's training tmr and i don't think i can bet in this condition.
God bless you ppl!

OHRYAN
What a day it has been!
Actually it is not what you are expecting.The reason why i say so is because if i compare the this day to the rest of the days in this particular week,the differences is great.Haha.After my violin lesson,i went to the 125 Anniversary Presbyterian Church Fun Fair at Kuo Chuan Presby .I dare not say that it is the best funfair i've ever been to but the time spent there was rather enjoyable.Due to the fact that i've got about 70 dollars worth of coupon, i did not really have to worry about how to spend.
When we were about to go,someone actually mentioned that today is yongchen's birthday.haha.We celebrated her birthday there and sang birthday song for her.Beside the stall that my church set up,there was this game station set up by one of the church.haha.It is a machanism that make people fall into a huge tube of water.we're suppose to throw the basketball to hit the target in order to make the person fall into it and get wet.Then,we persuaded yongchen to go and try.At first,she was reluctant,but after we told her that she's gonna regret since it is her birthday,she accept to go for it.haha.In total,she was dumped into the water for 4 times.haha.Really had and enjoyable time in this funfair.haha.Luckily XJ decided to send me and suzhen to church for the reheahsal,or else we will sure be late.
After the rehearsal,Went to dhoby ghaut to meet (jasmine and sentat) + jiaxin.haha.Actually we don't want to outcast jiaxin,but then he always don't talk to us and how are we suppose to click or bond with him? No idea yet.Again,it was back to the three of us.ME,sentat amd jasmine.haha.We walked to heeren from plaza singapura as we had decided to have our dinner there.However,as it was still early,we decided to shop first and so i got to buy the wallet from surf & splash.haha.I like it alot!! Because jas don't want sukae sushi,we went to marche for our dinner.haha.We ordered a total of 6 dishes and sentat treated me and jas ice-cream.haha.Super nice can..haha.Crap and laugh alot..haha..
As i walked home from the mrt station,i looked up the sky.Although i didn't manage to see alot of stars,i saw the orion belt.For your information,orion belt consist of 7 stars.4 of them which forms a parallelogram and inside the parallelogrem,there's three stars which is parallel.(haha.it sounds like OH RYAN)I was quite amazed to see it in singapore.And so my thoughts started to filter to the time when i was in Thailand.In thailand,the stars that i saw was unbelievable and incredible.Even till now,that image of the stars filling up every single corner in the sky can be clearly remembered.Besides,seeing a shooting star was the bonus for me as i was the birthday boy then.haha.By the way,only i saw it.haha.Even though minmin was standing beside me,she didn't have the chance to admire this rare sight.At that moment,i made a wish.I was hoping that i could get into AJC(pae).About two months later,my wish was granted.haha.I couldn't believe it.
My OGL once told me that the closest friends you have in your life will come from JC.Well,now i really do believe it as i got to make some really close friends during this first two month in AJ.Even until now,after leaving aj for two weeks,i still miss them so much.It is really amazing that during such a short period of time,our friendship can blossom so much.

Reassurance
Due to lack of sleep and my laziness,i've decided to give my make up lecture a miss.Even though i could lie on my cozy bed for a little while more,i still got to drag myself up not long after.Went back to my secondary school this morning to attend the rehearsal for my school 39th anniversary as well as to rehearse for the prize presentation.As i stepped into the hall,i saw some familiar faces,namely MR ong,my Principal,Mr Wong,my string orchestra intructor,many other teachers and friends.Some of them looked as young as before,while some seriously put on tonnes of weight.haha.I'm quite mean sia.Then,i went to report my attendance to one of the teacher-in -charge.She said to me,"You are sec 1,2 or 3.Under which category? Top in subject? or Scholarship award?" Oh my gosh! Do i look that young? Haha.
Got to meet a few of my friends which i made only When we were in the same jc(pae).One of them is siping.We talk alot about how our jc life is going on and i found out that S0606 is really seperated.However,some were simply lucky that they get to have their clicks in the same class.For Munkiat's case,i felt so sad for him.He tried so hard appealing into Ajc and yet,he is alone again.None of our class people will be in the same calss as him.Lets just hope that he will be able to adapt well into his new class and having friends around him that is able to influence him well.
For those who came this morning to this rehearsal is either those who topped in a particular subject or having outstanding award,which is like those who have 7,8,9 distinction.And that explain why most of them are in top 5 jc except me.At that point of time,i really regretted not going for the make up lecture.I really have no idea if i should complain, gramble or to blame myself.I know vividly that this is the plan god has for me.However,part of me is not willing to accept.
While i was having my devotion just now,i came across this passage which i could clearly see the path god wants me to walk.
I'll stay where you've put me;I will,dear Lord,
Though i wanted so badly to go;
I was eager to march with the "rank and file,"
Yes,i wanted to lead them,You know.
I planned to keep step to music loud,
To cheer when the banner unfurled,
To stand in the midst of the fight straight and proud,
But i'll stay where You've put me.
I'll stay where you've put me;I'll work,dear Lord,
Though the field may be small and narrow,
And the ground be neglected,and stones lie thick,
And there seems to be no life at all.
The field is your own,only give me the seed,
I'll sow it with never a fear;
I'll till the dry soil while i wait for the rain,
And rejoice when the green blades appear;
I'll work where you have put me.
I'll stay Where you've put me;I will,dear Lord;
I'll bear the day's burden and heat,
Always trusting you fully;when sunset has come
I'll lay stalks of grain at you feet.
And then,when my earth work is ended and done,
In the light of eternity's glow,
Life's record all closed,I surly will find
It's better to stay than to go;
I'll stay where You've put me.

Retribution
Holiday! It seems that this holiday is not like what i had expected..Didn't go anywhere except school & shop.Everyday i'm like doing some mundane stuff.Wake up,go to school for make up lesson,go to shop to help up my dad,reach home,eat,go online,chat,sleep.
I really don't like this holiday.Sumore my mummy & bro went to vietnam.Coming back on saturday.Which means that i still got three more days of house chore to do..arr..it seriously irritate me..nowadays,i don't have the opportunity of getting my mum prepare breakfast for me..hai..Got to spread my own peanut butter.Sometimes i really feel like going to school with an empty stomach..budden thinking of the consequences,i rather do it.Sumore,whenever i spread my own peanut butter,i will miss my 6:37am bus.hai.
What is going on in my life.Life is so miserable and pathetic..Mummy..please come back..Now i really regret not going to vietnam.Perhaps this is my retribution of taking things for granted when my mummy did almost everything that seems so trivial to me..
Looking forward to saturday..cause i going out with my og..haha..miss them like crazy..haha..most probably we are going to have buffet together..so sad that joyce is not able to to join us..alright..that's all for today..
Take care!

SoftBall
Haha..actually i should have my violin lesson now.Budden because of some reasons,i postpone it to 4pm this afternoon.hehe.
Yesterday i went to tennis trial..At first i thought that i would get in.Cause i think that i did pretty well in returning e ball to the coach.However just when i thought that i'm able to get in,i was rejected by thhe coach.haiz.Perhaps i'm fated not to play tennis.
I went for the softball trial right after the trial for tennis.haha.It's my backup cca..haha..At first i thought that they might reject me cos i was late for like one hour.yeah.Tennis trial took me 1 hour and yet i'm rejected..Budden the softball seniors were so kind and they welcomed me into their team..haha..It's not really a trial cause i start training immediately..Dunno any single stuff abt softball at all..haha..Yeaterday i've learnt how to bat,throw,and catch the ball..haha..It's really fun..love it..Actually i'm suppose to go and watch e match btw my sch and NJC..Buddden tmr i got to go back to M'sia to celebrate my Grandma's birthday..haha..So i'll have to miss this match..hai..
This week, i've heard lots of ppl appealing successfully and those who did not.For those ppl who did,congratulation to them but for those who did not,don't be too sad abt it cause life still goes on and hope that your all can look forward to ya new college and excel in it..hehe..

CCA Exhibition
Just came back from school..haha..today's "orientation" is much better..haha..It's not the effort put in by the college but by my classmate as well as myself.Hehe..Today i got to share some of my lame jokes to my classmate and i've also heard some really funny ones..haha..Finally found somebody in my OG which i can crap to..haha..
Hai..my OGL is such a failure..they simply can't be bothered abt the 2nd intake ppl..hai..CMI..Today when we had this free period btw classes,i asked my OGL what we are suppose to do? He didn't answer me.Fine..Then when i proposed that we play some ice-breaking games,his replied was " play what games?"..Oh my gosh!! what are OGL for? i really dunn understand..hai..now i really hope that i could change OG..
Then,it's CCA Exhibition..haha..It was fun,noise and enjoyable..haha..In total,i sign up for 7 CCA..haha..You guys can call me "kiasu" or whatever but i got my own reason..haha..I signed up for Tennis,squash,ODAC,Rock climbing,soft ball,band and sailing..haha..
But ultimately i wish to join tennis in tpjc..however,there's trial..hai..dunn even know if i'll get through..afriad that i might end up like that time when i was still in aj..hai..haha..this time round i got lots of backup..haha..even if i cannot join tennis,i'll still have lots of option to choose from..haha..
Thank god that today is much much better..hehe

TPJC
It's been a few days since i wrote my last entry..This few days had been really tough for me as i got to make quite a few choices.
On friday morning,i went online to check my posting result.I've been posted to Tampines Junior College.Because my mum was seated next to me,i tried to hold my emotion back.Why am i so lousy? Why i simply just can't do well during my major examination? I asked myself all sorts of question.
Budden deep down in my heart,i know that there's my almighty god.He had already planned where i am suppose to go.It's a plan that is best for me.However,all of us got the right to choose.I can choose to appeal or not to appeal.At that point of time,i really dunno what to do.
In the afternoon,i went out with my OG-pyralis.Actually it is only the usual five of us.hai.Before We went to East coast park,we all went to VjC with cinli to appeal..That's when sentat and sean bought e VJC PE T-shirt..haha..Then me,sentat and cinli were cycling while jasmine and sean blade in East coast park..haha..we had lots of fun doing funny things and crapping..haha..we also took photos..we cycle and blade until evening and we went to Parkway Parade for dinner..haha..We ate e ramen..It's nice budden abit salty..haha..This time round, it is really our last og outing..hai.budden we all agreed tat we'll meet up once a month..haha..looking forward to the next one..already miss them..haha
On sunday,went to church in e morning then went to Orchard in e afternoon with a few of e guys to buy shoes.haha..Finally i bought e shoe liao..haha..I love it very much..Yay..My bro also bought one..His is NIKE theme edition while mine is NIKE delta force..haha..budden i think that his is nicer.haha..
This morning,i went to my new JC..i woke up as usual at 6.00am..budden this time,i got to take a total of three buses to school..luckily the journey is not to long..hehe..The first impression this college gave me was "It's so big..wow..bigger than AJ".. haha..yeah..the school compound is larger, newer and nicer..haha..soon,i got to meet up with quite a number of friends and we talk alot..haha..And then,we got e time-table for this week..i found out that we actually dunn have orientation..hai..tmr going to start lecture..hai..Now i really really miss AJ..hai..dunn talk abt it alr..Then we stone,listen to principal crap,tour around e college and play some ice-breaking games..haha
Today we played 'wacko'..haha..the weirdest part is that there's actually a guy called weijie..same as me..so i decided to call myself ryan..haha..Then,dunno why so coincident,there's also a guy called ryan..haha..It's really funny.haha..anyway,they called me ryan..haha..Even though the game is short,and sumore it's the only game we played today,i enjoy myself very much..haha..then also got make some friends which is also very crappy one..haha..play lame games with us..haha
Today,i don't know why, i suddenly dunn feel like appealing to MJC..Perhaps it is because their retain rate is very high or so other reasons.But i know that i got to trust my lord faithfully..Knowing that he is with me always..So now i'm officially a TPJcian
The soft,sweet summer was warm and glowing,Bright were the blossoms on every bough: I trust Him when the roses were blooming; I trust Him now....
Small was my faith should it slowly falter Now that the roses have cease to blow; Frail was the trust that now should alter,Doubting His love when storm clouds grow.

This morning,as usual,my og gathered near the foyer..It's the last time..hai..Last day of school..In class,we took lots of photo..with our teachers and friends..although majority of them are staying,but there are a few which couldn't stay..Eg.me..
We had lots of fun while we were taking e photos..haha..especially e "tao pok" haha..all the guys from my class stack over each another..haha..also dunno why,i'm the second from e bottom..It's really fun..budden we all got to suffer from muscle ache and all sorts of pain..haha..from the photos taken by one of my classmate,it's quite obscene..haha..it looks like err..haha..
During recess,i ate e two bowl of 60cent "dao hua" with 5 of my classmate..haha..the 60cent dao hua is damn big la..haha..then we took photos and that's my last recess..
Finally,it's the last lesson of the day as well as my stay in AJ..It's PE..haha..this time round,it's really special..because i wore e Catholic High PE t-shirt..haha..although it is rather small,i felt like one of the cat high boys..haha..During our PE,people kept on asking why is this class so special..haha..all cat high guys..Whole class of cat high student ran together,doing warm up together..haha..i love it..Then,we took photos again..
Then,when we were all going off,everyone was like "bye ryan.." hai..i really wish to be with them..i'll miss them ..hmm..i was so touch can..almost cried..
This is my last day in Anderson Junior College.All my happy moments i had in AJ with my OG&Class people can only be part of my memory..Life still goes on..I got to move on..God,please lead me..I'm holding on to you and please guide me and teach me the things i've yet to learn..I thank god that you gave me such a wonderful time in AJ..Thank you..

Special Day
Reached home at 1205am..haha...today is a really special day..actually is yesterday..haha..Now i'm super tired..but somehow,i feel like blogging..
After school,i went out with my friends to NYP(nanyang poly) for lunch as we still got 2 hours to our econs lecture..On the way back to school,i actually saw a snake which is at least 2 meters long..i was really shock that i actually got to see a wild snake in singapore..sumore it is in e canal jus outside AJ..it was really scary..budden wat worst is that there were 4 malay Kids which actually went down to the canal to play with the snake..From one of my friend,i found out that they actually pull the snake out of the water and pull it back into the water..obviously they somehow wanted to kill it..
Then,my fren chris shouted at them..trying to get them out of the canal..however,instead of going off,one of them went to confront chris..he was damn vulgar,rude and trying to act gangster..He is like 1.5m and yet he dares to confront 3 to 4 guys who is like 1.7m.It is so stupid can..luckily, Johnsmith did not come..haha(he's 1.8m).He went to him and said "what's your problem..why did you shout at us.." He thought that he got a screw in his mouth,we are scared of him..then came alford..he stood up for chris..it was as if a fight is going to break out..Budden dunno why,that guy back off and said "You better watch out.Dunn you dare walk out of this place.(we were outside the school)"..We all then went to e general office to report abt the snake and then the clerk made a police report..Then we chong to e Econs lecture as we were late..
In e start of e lecture,i couldn't really concentrate..haha..my heart was pumping so fast can..still thinking of that incident and what will happen if we walk out of e school..Will he bring all his 'Brothers' to fight us? haha..It was really freaky at that point of time..haha..It's not only me k? Yvonne was also in the same situation as me k..haha.."Ding Dong.." The lesson is over..
It's time to fight..haha..Johnsmith was like saying..toylyn..lend us your hockey stick..we're fighting..haha..it's so funny at that time..
We went out of the school..haha..and to our suprise,we din see anyone..At that point of time,i'm so disappointed can..haha..No show anymore..hai..Then,we chat and chat even though it was drizzling..We are still waiting for them..haha..
Then Chonghong and i decided to leave.After we walked abt 50m away from them,we saw 4 malays 1.5m kids..they ran across the road towards them..I totally freak out at that time..They are going to fight..Then,i searched for my phone and i called javier and alford..i told them to bring all their Cat high guys out to help us..
I'm so scared can..i'm like afraid that they might hurt one of us..hai..then dunno how,they managed
to settle e whole conflict with them..jus when those 4 guys were abt to leave,Alford brought like 20 plus ppl with him..haha..cat high guys all very tall one..haha..Then i called alford and told him what was happening and so they din come out of the school..haha..Or else we will sure win the fight..haha..Then i chiong home..
About an hour later,i was at Marina bay..It was a tuition group outing..Esmond,Xianjie,Huishan,Jianhui,Yueting and i went.It's like a farewell outing for esmond as he is going to army in e first month of march..we had steamboat and we ate lots of things..haha..I really enjoyed going out with them..haha..Then,all thanks to huishan idea,we decided to punish Xianjie by asking him to cut e live Crab and Prawn for us..haha..At first he din dare to do it la..cause it was super disgusting lor..it was sth like fear factor..haha..But in the end, i also tried it out..We really had lots of fun..haha..Esmond and me were like comparing whose chicken taste e best..In the end, i also dunno whose e winner..haha..My chicken is more tender but esmond's chicken taste better..haha..funny..took quite a lot of picture too..haha..
Then we decide to go somewhere decent for a drink..not Alcohol k..haha..That place was MR BEAN..not the daohua one..It's somewhere near douby ghaut..Recommended by Xianjie..He drove us dere..haha..I ordered e Hot chocolate with ice-cream drink..It's heavenly..haha..Thick hot chocolate below,chocolate drink in e middle and ice-cream on top..haha..sumore,xj ordered e sinful brownie..OH MY GOSH..Every single spoonful of brownie tasted like dunno wat, sumore it is hot..OH...haha..Then we took more picture and then xj drove each of us home..haha..thanks god for him..haha..we're so lucky..haha..
okay..there's bible study tmr and violin lesson..haha..looking forward!!! yay!!

First bible study
Praise e lord...yay..Just had my first bible study...This is the first lesson and our Teacher is Roy!!!yay...I'm so glad that i'm able to attent this bible study because i know tat tru this lesson,i will get to know more about the bible as well as knowing more about our lord jesus:)Thank god that he gave us such a wonderful time,simply to devote ourself to him and tru it,we may make use of the things learnt to glorify him.yeah.
Actually before xiwen & huiwen persuade me to join this lesson,i was reluctant because i dunn really feel like going...perhaps i felt that it's Saturday wad...sumore i'm always so busy and my friends usually go out on that day...Excuses...Yup...anyway..by god grace,i'm in church today!!Yay..i went to the bible study and after that i found out that it is so essential in my life.
After today's lesson,i got to know more about myself.The title of today's note was 1 out of 6593758716...haha...actually at first,i thought that it was the no. of lesson we're going to attent in future...haha..so lame...In fact,the huge number is the World population.According to 18 Feberury 2006. And the 1 is actually me..I'm Wong Wei Jiat,the unique one out of 6.6 billion people...
I'm so special...haha..I'm unique,I'm being set apart and I exist for a purpose..
"Before i formed you in the womb i know you,before you were born i set you apart.." Jeremiah 1:5 haha..i'm so unique..there's only one single me..i'm born with a purpose.god specially mold me to be the person who i am now and is to fulfill something for him...no matter it is big or small.Perhaps my purpose is to be someone's friend,to be his or her true and sincere friend.Or someone out dere speaking sth great...haha...as long as God wants me to go,as long as he lead me and guide me,i WILL go...
Have you ever wonder..since you have always wanted to be so different from others,wanting to be someone so outstanding from your friends...so unique,Why is it that you are always comparing with other people around you?
Asking why is he/she so fortunate to have this and that and stuff...You&I are set apart by our lord...So,make use of the talent that god has given each and everyone,to glorify him...
Although only 6 people attented the lesson,i know that god will surely make full use of this lesson to teach us and bless us..Hope that the other ppl who agreed to come but somehow din appear today will make an effort to attent e bible study lesson next week...
I seriously thank god for letting us have roy as our teacher and hope that you will bless him greatly and tru him,we can know more things abt you from him...Amen:)

Crashing MJC
Today i went to crash Meridian junior college.haha.I was quite excited at first as it was my first time.haha.hai.all because of colin,i went there one hour earlier.haha.I was quite upset abt it in the beginning but it turns out to be a great preparation hour.haha.colin brought me around the school compound and gives me a few advice on where to hide during e flag raising and stuff.haha.actually,there's not much difference between the sch land area of AJ and MJC.Thought that MJC is really huge but it is kind of similar to AJ.haha.Just that it is much newer and it has lots of staircase.haha.got to climb alot.jus when i was supposed to go and hide,i saw one of my nchs friend who also came to crash MJC.He told me tat i could go to e general office and get e visitor's pass.yay.after tat,i can guang ming zhen da walk around MJC.haha...not like jasmine,got to play hide and seek with e teachers in vjc..hehe..so fortunate.then,it was flag raising.it was kinda funny and weird because the only sound that came out of the speaker was e tune of our national anthem.Sumore,plus none of the students want to sing,we were all like listening to instrumental song...haha...it's the funniest flag raising i've ever attented.the GP lesson is the one i like e most.haha.Colin's GP teacher is so funny and crappy lar.throughout the whole lesson,it's so relax and enjoyable.haha.Finally,i went to shop.
Overall,i think tat Meridian jc is an ultimate Mugger sch.At every single corner,there will be someone mugging..hai..dunno wad to do..if i happen to be dere in e 2nd intake,i really hope tat god will gives me e mental as well as e physical strength to cope with e stress.haha..actually it is not so bad la...haha
Hai...my AJ life is going to be over in another two weeks time.hai..i will miss AJ alot.the friends i've made dere especially my oG ppl...sintat,jasmine,cinli,joyce,eewee,and many many more,,all e crappy thing we did dere,our OG outing,Aj food...it's gonna turn into my memories...NO...so sad rite...hai...but life still goes on...gotta treasure the remainding time in aj.
