Post #117: Faithful God
Post #117:
Perhaps I am passing through some challenges that I do not know even what to do, and how to go about. Getting out of the challenge that I am facing and God says "I will be with you". I may be passing through some torrential rains, some turmoils that I don't even know. God, help me. Right now, I begin to hold on to the faithful God. I am going through some fiery furnace, and God Almighty will say to me, "You will walk through the fire, and yet you will not be burned. The flames will not overcome you, for I am the Lord Your God."

Post #115: A low point in my life
Post #115:
Haha oh the cheesy pun. A "LOW" point in my life... (:
Well lately jr has been a part of my life, so I shall make a blogpost dedicated to the person with the palindromic nice IC number...
Anyway, on Thur/Fri was super fun we had a sleepover at my house. Thanks all for coming, and thank you JR for waiting so patiently at the MRT from 9:15, and Edward for waiting patiently from 9:45... Luo overslept and came at 11+ so we just sat down on the MRT station with edward eating his biscuits and waited for Luo...
Anw then we went my house and randomed around on MSN. We started talking to YangTerng then his pm from "Forget it. Never mind." changed to "Forget it. Never mind. I barely understand anything anymore." haha was super funny! Quotable quote from Luo: "no..."
Ok, after that we ate lunch (Pizza hut) and then we played table tennis for like... 3 hrs? Haha jr not bad was King for quite a while... But in the end I ended his reign muhahahaha. Anw after that we played SA and cards (bridge!) and Edward was sleeping cuz he was a bit sick. After that we did some killer math (i still don't know how to do qn10! grahhh) while jr did his geog and then most importantly we played Risk!
Risk was really really fun, i allied with jr and we owned everyone upside down. I had the whole of north america, south america and europe, jr had the whole of asia. Irvin had half of Africa and raph had Australia, Luo resigned at the start of the game and became Irvin's great advisor... Haha so situpi anw in the end jr captured 3 capitals with such a loyal ally like me. All my troops were super strong cuz well I'm pro hehe... We stopped RISK for a while to go for dinner (KFC!) and then continued on Risk again after that..
Anyway after that we did jigsaw (with a few missing pieces) but it was complete in the end! Anyway, after that Luo and edward started comparing songs, then we slept at like 3+. Well, before Luo slep the started swimming on the bed, did frogstyle and freestyle, then he started throwing Edward's pillows and blanket on to me and jr.
Haha anyway jr sleep that time will toss and turn haha almost pushed me off the bed -.- Haha it was so funny everyone squeezing with each other and the top bed was empty + it had pillow and bolster... Hahaha overall the sleepover was so fun (although we didn't get much sleep...)
Well, the next day we woke up and went to j8 for macs before I went off to present for IDAAwards... Then I went boarding had afternoon nap. Well that was the end of sleepover and now back to doing stupid homework.
As the name suggests, this post is dedicated to low jr cuz I have really nothing else to do. I had a post dedicated to irvin before and another to jtan before... hmm who next? Haha so anyway, I did experiment on him, see how long he takes to forget my gmail password. So far he still remembers it after a day... hehe let's see how long he takes.
Haha anw some quotable quotes:
(On SA) [seventhpotato] jrrrrr...
Too bad i couldn't screenshot this... rawr.
Wow it's late. 2:02 AM! I should be sleeping!

Post #114: Now is the moment
Post #114:
I guess now is the moment. The time has come. Now is the moment I start focusing on the essential and strip away the inessential.

Oh, anyway I realize I must really stop kapohing around other people's personal life. It's not about what I want, it's about what I must.

Post #113: Exams
Post #113:
AHHH!! Grade 8 piano exam tommorow. I think i'm going to fail. :( Haiz I can't believe I'm missing AGM for an exam that I'm going to fail. But never mind, fail or not it will be decided tommorow. I just hope that God helps me and miraculously let me pass... Unlikely, improbable, maybe impossible. But with God, all things are made possible...
Anyway these past few weeks have been bombarded with exams. And of course we get back our exams, some results make us happy and some, inevitably, make us sad. Let's list down the exams that we got back so far.
Chinese: 19/40 :(
Chemistry: 30/30 xD
Maths TA: 14/14 xD
Today was Physics CCT, I personally found it not TOO difficult, but there was one question I really didn't know how to do. I hope I get correct for my bonus ba. Anyway, I really really shouldn't be suanning people... :( I shall add this to one of my resolutions: No more suanning, as fun as it may be.
Haha a lot of people think I'm some super mugger like Dexter but then if you ask people like raph/philly/lowjr/luo...etc. they'll know that I don't mug a lot, because I whole day go out eat dinner talk talk, go outings here and there (like the Saturday outing) and always play SA. Time that I allocate for work I usually get distracted and chat, or I'll do Band/Infocomm stuff, so my mugging time actually is very little haha. Then how do I get nice results? (with the exception of Chinese)
No, I'm not naturally smart. I really agree with what Shaun Yeo said: I'm just really really blessed. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3 It is not me or by my strengths that I do well. It is God's blessings for my life and his strengths working through my weaknesses. I can't - but God can! So let's PUSH!
*P.U.S.H. = Pray Until Something Happens
Haha sorry for this "christiany" post, but the truth is God is working in my life and I'm so thankful for his greatness!

Post #112: Fun fun fun!
Post #112:
first went to mug with philly and raph bio, then we got a bit distracted and played chess titans (3brains vs 1 comp) and taught philly how to play minesweeper, then we went shopping for gifts for who we are succeeding (which we didn't manage to think of a nice gift enough for someone so important who believed in us that we can lead the band in their position), then we went to ION orchard too for swensen's ice-cream buffet
Haha we took at least 50 scoops of ice-cream, a lot of waffles and chocolate/strawberry/peach cake and chocolate fondue with marshmallow plus fruits and many toppingshen in the end we eat until full... You know i din have breakfast/lunch/dinner, all i ate was ice-cream (:
Here's a nice picture of us eating ice-cream. Me and Philly wearing same shirt so cool...
Sorry for blur picture Irvin's handphone camera isn't that good. By the way there are many scoops of ice-cream hidden beneath the mountain of ice-cream already present (:
Anw 50 scoops was way more than what we can handle haha then after that we went to watch a very nice gala concert with some very talented performers...
After that we went to a huge empty field and then lay down on the grass to watch the clouds...
So we just lay down there and tried to see what patterns we could make out of the clouds... We saw a broken heart then it transformed into a curry puff... Then philly saw a nice shooting star and then we did stuff like lifted our legs 90 degrees and stuff lidat
Then the clouds turned into the letter i, then we played o2mania and then we played and lied down and joked around until like 11+... Anw we talked a lot lol i din know we could talk so much
and we lied down there for so long i think we saw the same people come and go and then staring at us as if we were some weirdos... raph and irvin screamed while lying down (don't ask me why)... Oh and then we started singing (it was raph's shooting star wish)
Haha anw next week we want to have a sushi buffet then a stroll down the beach and lying down on the sand watching the waves crumble on the ocean and then see the night sky lit up by a few stars (:
Some quotable quotes:
[While paying the $44.49 bill with $44.50]
Me: "Waiter.. you can keep the change (:"
[While lying on the grassy field Philly wanted to go off]
Me: "Come lie with us for another 5 more minutes..."
Philly: "You guys are lying..."
Me: "Yes we are of course lying. You should too... "
I know there were some more funny ones I can't remember haha when I do i'll edit this post xD
Anyway, I was looking back on the start of the year and the 10 goals I've set for myself for 2009. And this is my progress so far (:
1) Show God's joy, peace and love to others that they might see God's work and moulding in my life.
This I'm still working on it. But at least I managed to show that a little bit i guess. (: Must work harder so that other's will see the difference in me. I should add one more attribute to this: humility. This I'm still working on it.
2) Draw closer to God and spend even more quiet time.
With all my business, I guess I should really spend more quiet time. But through my adversities and all that's happening around me and especially the open doors that God has given me, I guess I did draw closer to God. :)
3) Get at least a 3.8 GPA
Nope my PR1 and PR2 shows GPA of 3.72 because of Chinese. I should really work harder.
4) Don't piss the teacher off by handing in late work - leave a good impression on all my teachers(including chinese teachers)
Whoops. I guess I should start on this resolution now. It's a new beginning for me, a new page in my life and a dawn to a new phase...
5) Help the person I'm sitting beside with get a 4.0 for Math (or a 3.6 if he's not that good)
I don't help oso can lor. :)
6) Help the people I'm working in projects with to get really really high (helps me too) :)
I try, but sometimes I can be so lazy you know... :(
7) Show kindness and patience even to slackers and not scold them or threaten them
Well I think that I should change this resolution. If I don't scold/threaten them then they'll never learn so for their own good, I must remove this resolution from my 2009 Resolution...
8) Blog more
Aiya so busy how to blog more? :( But anyway I do blog more this year... right?
9) Be more active in my CCA, participate in more infocomm competitions and work hard in band for SYF
Yea! This one I've achieved. (: I did participate in more infocoommm competitions and I did work hard in Band for SYF although we only got Silver, I was proud of myself because I really did my best (:
10) No touchie XD's hair.
No comments. (:
Haha so many days and months have passed. I guess Sec 3 is coming to an end, so before it ends I must make sure I fufill more of my resolutions xD

Post #111: Humility
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." - Luke 14:11, NIV
Over the past few weeks and months I have been facing a lot of ups and downs in my life. And what God has taught me from all these ups and downs is summarized in the above verse. This verse in context is from a parable found in Luke 14:7-11 and it talks about the importance of humility. Sometimes with our achievements we are so tempted to exalt ourselves and to make ourselves feel better, and God says for everyone who exalts himself, he will be humbled. When we exalt ourselves we don't realize that all that we have achieved is God's blessings and without God, we are nothing.
We have to rely on God's strength and presence in our lives always because we simply cannot run the race on our own. We have to count on God's wisdom rather than our own in making decisions. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. (1 Cor 1:25) Moses understood the importance of God's presence. "Then Moses said to Him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." (Exodus 33:15) We need to humble ourselves and recognize that we are nothing without God, and then God's strength can work through our weaknesses. After all, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6b)

Post #109: What do you see?
Post #109:
Happy birthday Singapore!
The theme song this year is: What do you see?
He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." (Mark 8:24)
What do you see?
Holy fire come burn in my heart
To love the nations that’s fallen apart
With compassion igniting a spark
To bring forth the love of God
Let me see through Jesus’ eyes
Let me feel how He would feel
Let me love as He loves
And give as He gave
Oh Lord make me more like You
