ROCK ON-

Tumblr.

2009-11-15T04:48:00.000-08:00

Hello guys! I got a tumblr page. Check it out. :D

This blog will still be on. No worries.

http://coldmix.tumblr.com/

On a small note.

2009-11-08T21:08:00.001-08:00

Something really amazing happened to me today. You may not think so, but to me it is.

Basically, I have 2 friends whom I have known for years.

Both were brought up in a Christian/Catholic family. Blahblahblah..

The thing was, one of them didn't really believe in all the religion stuff, so he chose to denounce the existence of any god. While the other continued to go to church and all.

Here's the best part:

The guy who was an atheist recently went back to church while the other - having being a Christian for years became a atheist. And when I told my other friend about it, guess what he said.

He told me, ''Lol, but God has his own ways, just gotta trust that He knows what He's doing.''

It just felt weird for me hearing this from him. Haha.

Guess what he says does make sense. We just gotta trust Him.

P.S. The highlighted words are jsut in case you guys thnik my langauge is raelly bad and can't make out who is who. :D

Last Paper!

2009-11-08T20:49:00.000-08:00

Having my last paper - Science (Chem,Phy) - in about 1 and 1/2 days time.

Can't wait really. It's so exciting. :D

Okay, so some updates about myself:

-Started exercising, mainly jogging. Love the feeling when I bathe after I exercise. (:

-Tried applying for some jobs through emails. Doesn't seem to work though.

-Slacking at home sitting in front of the com. Just like what I am doing right now. lol.

Graduation.

2009-10-14T22:43:00.000-07:00

I have finally graduated.

After 10 long years of being in the same Brotherhood school - St. Gabriel's Primary and Secondary. I have done it.

It is sad I must say, to leave the school. Although I have sometimes shown displeasure for the school, but still I enjoyed life there. People always told me, ''Enjoy your secondary school life, it will be worth remembering.''

Now I know.

Firstly, I want to thank the teachers for being so ever patient with me when I give them problems.

Special thanks to:

My Form teacher/EMaths - Ms Liu. Thank you so much

Co-Form teacher/AMaths - Ms Teo. Thanks for explaining to me, even when I don't get it after 10 times.

Chinese teacher - Mr Lim. It has been a pleasure to be your student. Mr Salt water!!

English teacher - Mr Crawshaw! Never a boring moment in your class. :D

Geog teacher - Mr Chng. Sir, thank you for tolerating all the nonsense throughout the 4 years. :)

4E3 - It had always been fun in class, no matter how near exams are we still ''relive stress'' by having fun, wait, I meant LOTS & LOTS of fun! Thanks.

Welcome to SG Mum!

2009-10-14T05:06:00.000-07:00

I just came back from fetching my mother from Changi Airport. She just came back from Penang, M'sia.

From the looks on her face when I saw her, it looks like she had enjoyed her trip there.

Btw, did I mention how much I love my family and how we all behave?

While we were hanging out after dinner at Terminal 3, we saw this cute little colouring thingy so we thought to ourselves.

''Oh, why not try that out? Looks fun''

And so we did. i'll show you our 'masterpieces'

If it was ever the same in your family, I think we'd all agree that the Mothers are better artists that the men in the family. So you should be able to guess which one is done by my mum.
This is why I love my family. Cheap thrills with laughter :D

(If you still can't figure it out. I'll give you a hint. The multi-coloured one is a joint project between my dad and I)

O levels. Wow.

2009-10-11T00:01:00.000-07:00

Exactly 2 more weeks till the first written paper. English paper 1.
Getting a little nervous now. Especially for English papers. Scary.

Please keep me in prayer for good health and also for wisdom for the exam. I appreciate it :D

Results.

2009-09-30T02:25:00.000-07:00

So since I've gotten back all of my results. I'll guess I'll just reveal it here :)

English - B4

Chinese - B4 (O level)

EMaths - A1

AMaths - A1

Principle of Accounts - A1

Science (Chem, Phy) - A1

Combined Humanities (Geog, SS) - A2

Well, that's about it. To tell the truth I am rather happy with these results, just that maybe for POA I didn't hit my expected target so.. yeah.

Anyway, thanks to God for all these stuff. Awesome. :D

ICE-CREAM!

2009-09-27T05:39:00.000-07:00

I was supposed to be studying today, but I ended up in a arcade in Illuma, Bugis playing the ice-cream catcher game. I got one Ben & Jerry's icecream! Strawberry cheesecake :D
But I spent about $7 :(

Although I would really look forward to try my skill (not luck) at that game again. So fun :)

Maybe I should start some serious studying. If not others would start scolding me for getting good grades but not studying :P

Music.

2009-09-18T06:29:00.000-07:00

Came back from GRAMAPHONE. I was in the vicinity today so I thought I would shop for a Cd or two. To my surprise, I found this nice Blues/Pop Cd by Santana. Haha.
It sounds really good, I like the hybrid.

Maybe I will get a few more blues albums also. Might be planning to go into blues or classical guitar you know. Yeah, so its just a update. My guitar strings are still not changed!!
Urgh. So I can't try out any new songs. Sadly..

Dad's Birthday

2009-09-17T06:09:00.000-07:00

Just came back from celebrating my dad's 54th birthday with the whole family!!
We had dinner at Aston's. It was AWESOME! OMG. The Wonderful Lampchops :P
Mouth-watering Ribeye Steaks..

Then we walked down Serangoon Gardens and found a nice place to have some desserts. Mango with Sago and some Durian Moose thingy. WOW. The taste was so nice. Totally worth it.

Imagine the possibilities.. Okay getting out of point here. LOL.

Okay so I just want to wish my dad a Happy 54th Birthday!
May his wishes come true. (win toto) :D
May God bless him with good health.

Love you dad (:

2009-09-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

I came across this wonderful picture while checking up on some amps. Looks great huh? Haha, even my dad said so. So nostalgic.. So i thought I would share this with all you guys out there. :)

2009-09-12T18:04:00.000-07:00

This week of holiday has really been more of a study week. Putting in my best effort and spending time to study instead of slacking.

Lately I have gone back to looking up to people, but maybe I have forgotten that no one is perfect enough for me to look up to and totally follow. Well, maybe only God is.

Okay then, time to return to happy-go-lucky mode :D
Forgot stuff that aren't worth my attention. Haha..

1 more week before prelims ends. I really enjoy exams you know? You get to take a paper in an air-conditioned room, get to go home early, no need to stay back in school till late in the evening. Awesome-o.

2009-09-02T06:41:00.000-07:00

Prelims are great so far. Loving my new blogskin still :D

Oh! I just finished downloading Sims 3 and its AWESOME!
I think I am actually addicted to it :P

2009-09-01T01:00:00.000-07:00

Everyone loving my new blogskin?
HAHA. I am really proud of it. :D

Alright, down to business. Today's 1st September and I want to wish all the teachers whom I have ever come across a Happy Teacher's Day!
I just wanna let you all know how great you have been to me! Giving support, advice, etc..

Well for today, the activities are mainly staying home and studying due to the heavy rain. But its alright. A rather good weather for a nice afternoon nap :)

2009-08-30T19:48:00.001-07:00

Heya! It's about time for the prelims for O levels to start.

Wow, I really find studying taxing all of a sudden, I mean usually studying isn't stressful at all. Well, for me at least :D

Anyway, I got a really tough situation on my hand now. Its like if I did something wrong, should I continue to wrong in it or should I do the right thing? Gosh. This is so like the ''white lie'' topic.
Once you made a mistake, you got to follow through. Is that it?!

If not, I hope I get a chance to redeem myself. (Sounds so yellow ribbon)

Alright! So see you people around. :D

TA-DA!~ An update!

2009-07-01T04:42:00.000-07:00

Okay. The long awaited update for this long forgotten blog. HAHA!
So i'll start by updating you guys about my recent activities i guess?

June holidays was tough, had lots of extra classes. But i still had great fun around the last 2 weeks. This includes going out for a nice cell group outing at East Coast Park and watching transformers 2 with Charmaine.Bay and Serena.
WOW! The movie was just awesome! nothing more to say. To those losers who can't appreciate it, go back to watching cartoons! LOL.

Hmm.. then i also made this new friend who was a friend of Charmaine. Rather cool person. And did I mention that she has a really cool surname. haha. you guys will never guess what it is.

Well, that's all folks. See you next time! :D

2009-01-10T17:29:00.000-08:00

The O Level results will be released tomorrow and I am sure everyone is very nervous. All I can say is all the best and good luck for those who are taking the results!

Remember to praise Him no matter what!

Swimming

2009-01-04T06:05:00.000-08:00

haha..I was supposed to study with Anthony today, but ended up swimming with Kenni Hong, RiXiang, Anthony and more service 2 people. I really haven't swam for quite sometime and I got tired really easily.(unfit)

But it was really fun renting the tubes and going down tunnels and riding waves! LOL.

Now I remembered why I didn't swim regularly. I always get water in my ear and it blocks my hearing, so don't blame me if I can't hear what you are saying. xD

After so much fun I almost forgot school's tomorrow. Can't wait! wow.

New Year 2009!

2009-01-01T21:46:00.000-08:00

I had fun in East Coast Park with PKC people! haha.. I don't have the pictures, but it was just really really really fun!! We had a picnic and play so many games. wow. I love all you guys! Make my start of 2009 so enjoyable.
Afterwards I went of to join Jonathan, Michelle and Liyuan for basketball at Whampoa CC! It was great fun too. :D

Countdown to 2009!

2008-12-30T17:09:00.000-08:00

Wow! In a flash here comes 2009. I am so ready for the next year. It's just like 12 hours and 45 minutes away from now. I really can't wait to move on into a new year full of activities, friends and fun. Update more tomorrow about what's happening today :)

Happy New Year everyone!

Fireworks for everybody! :D

Thank you.

2008-12-21T20:11:00.000-08:00

Finally we have finished the major events for 2008 for YI media. This year has been great for myself, personally I have grown a lot closer to my friends both in school and church. Knowing everyone and working like a family was/is/will be a great thing. Its really nice to know that when I am falling away, you guys hold on to me.

Special thanks deep from my heart:
Michelle Kon Jia En: Thank you so much for helping me and guiding me along in my walk with God in this past few years. Even some times when I didn't believe in myself, you always said I could. Thanks!

Jonathan Huang Muen: Yo brother! Having you teaching me so many things in media is a great thing. Especially when we all admit that the events are not run by man, but by God. I just love it. Do take care of yourself and have a good rest. (:

Anthony Tan Chuan Min: Haha..We are in the Hood' yo. Always pushing each other on haven't we? Love you for your encouragement though you may not notice it. Stay cool and chubby! (:

To Nissi Salt1: I really love all of you. So funny and nice to everybody! Hope that everyone will grow further and we can work together for a better future! (Sounds like some national day rally speech)

There is still so many people to give thanks to. I've learnt so much from all of you out there! Do take care and gear up for a even more fufilling and fun 2009!

Post-YI Camp'08

2008-12-18T05:03:00.000-08:00

Wow! Back from Camp and stuff have been great! Had an amazing speaker speaking to us about the word of God! I felt revived from the dead. Literally. So tired now so i'll just take a nap first. Post the pictures next time (:

YI CAMP '08

2008-12-13T07:15:00.000-08:00

WHOA! Camp is coming this way and I am up to the beat! So ready for this. For this camp I am not really expecting much, just that I meet God and that I have loads of fun! (:

Me from BROWN tribe! I just love my group and everyone in it!

Also Ashley is coming from M'sia to visit. haha. Its really a once a year thing, but it's very fun having her around. Lol. With all these upcoming events, I am ready for a jam packed awesome December! Not forgetting Christmas bash, I got my clothing all ready! I am ready to become a superhero!!

Lets go people! All for BROWN TRIBE!

More recent events.

2008-12-01T17:42:00.000-08:00

Back from Japan! Looks like I skipped a month without blogging unknowningly. Anyway, I went for holiday in Japan for about a week.
The My Hope Project is coming for the YI people in just about 4 days time, and there's also the YI camp which I just found out that I belong to the BROWN tribe..lol
Also the wonderful Christmas Bash! This year's theme is superheroes, and that really gives me some trouble thinking of what to wear.

But I think I'll get to it soon. (:

Recently

2008-10-29T04:48:00.000-07:00

Okay, I came back from Macau and now I got a new job as a telemarketer.

Everything is cool now. It will be better though after I get my paycheck. haha..

Thats all for now. Been quite busy with a lot of things.

Thinking...

2008-10-29T04:44:00.000-07:00

My Lord, How I remember the many times that You have shown me Your mercy and grace. Like that once when I thought that You have forgetten about my prayer and when I gave up on myself. You came and brought me out of the darkness into Your light, proving me to be wrong once again.

And how You took me from the arms of those who try to harm me, protecting me within Your majestic and mighty hands. Never again will I doubt You oh Lord. Help me to remember You in my times of need and also in times of joy.

This I pray, Abba Father grant me this I ask.

Amen.

Eveline's 21st Birthday!

2008-10-11T17:56:00.000-07:00

Thank God for Eveline, my amazing cousin! Having her in the same family is a wonderful thing. I hope You bless even more as she turns 21 on 15th October 2008.

I went to Eveline's 21st birthday celevrations yesterday. Everything was so good! We had lots of fun and I think she also had quite a time of her life :)

Eveline has always been a very joyful person, cheering everybody up with her beautiful smile.

I'll let the pictures speak for itself, there's a lot more but I only have a few. Haha..

Playing BINGO with everyone. I won the first prize!!

Group picture! All the cousins!

Eeveline with the HUGE mango cake!

So nice (:

That's about all I have.

Thank you Jesus.

Return of the blogger

2008-10-09T03:19:00.000-07:00

Back, but I really don't have the mood to blog after I just messed up my POA paper 1. I can't believe I allowed my grieve to take over this paper.

I just pray that I will be able to get an A1 for that subject.

Valid Reason

2008-09-22T00:02:00.000-07:00

Gonna take a short little break from blogging due to the exams. Please be angry/understanding.

All the best for everyone's examinations/exams that are coming.

(Please cross out the appropriate)

Ipod Nano

2008-09-17T23:53:00.000-07:00

I find myself moving towards Apple Technology

these days. Don't know why, but it is a good thing(:

I am getting a Ipod Nano soon!

Probably Green or Red or Yellow maybe Purple?..

So beautiful.

Teachers. You rock my world!

2008-08-28T00:13:00.000-07:00

First of all, I want to wish all the teachers that have taught me Happy Teacher's Day!
Thanks for so much. I don't know where to start. Maybe my english teacher for teaching me how to read and write (:
That's why now i have this blog. Haha
Teachers are really like the parents of my school sometimes. So good. Of course sometimes it kind of sucks too. (:

Secondly, To all aspiring teachers/teachers who want to 'mould' the future, I hope and pray that you don;t get posted to my school. It's there where your hope and dreams of 'moulding the future' shall and will definitely be destroyed. (:

Happy Teacher's Day!

(Special thanks: Ms Lim, Ms Ong, Mr Lim, Ms Lee, Mr Stanley Tan, Mrs Tan, Mr Aven Choo.. with so many more+more coming on in the future!)

Laptops

2008-08-10T20:46:00.000-07:00

Recently I got into the Mac fever.
I gonna aim to get a Macbook before I go into Tertiary education. But until then, still using a PC. :(
Seriously, Macbook costs quite a sum. Gonna need more saving if I want one soon. xD
The white one looks really nice. The technical specs are quite alright too.

Feelings

2008-08-10T17:32:00.000-07:00

The feeling of having so many people that care about you is a really good thing. I know that I have my friends in school, church, media...so many more. Also my family.
Without everyone I think I wouldn't be who I am today.

I just had Media Retreat yesterday at COSBT. Also learnt some stuff on photography, like the basics. Also did I mention I was at church VERY EARLY? It was the first time for me to be there before 8.30 am on Sunday! xD
So exciting! Haha.. we did so many crazy stuff, I'll leave it to the pictures for more details which I will post next time.
I don't know what to say. Unspeakable joy!!

It time for many poly students in their 3rd year for their FYP. I wish everyone all the best!
I feel good about everything around, now. Hope it stays the same way for my upcoming exams. Being optimistic is a good thing. (:

Racial Harmony

2008-07-21T04:29:00.000-07:00

My school invited a sikh community professer guy to come to our school to talk about sikh-ism.
My guess would be because everyone knows stuff about the 4 major races, but not much on the sikhs. At least now I know that Sikhs aren't all about turbans. xD

Anyway school was great today. Had lots of food, games(ring-wrestling, zero-point, pick up sticks). But it wasn't that great for my wallet. Haha.
Wasted my money.

Red Cliff (Part 1)

2008-07-14T07:44:00.000-07:00

Just watched the 2 and a half hour long show. I was speechless by the plot. Almost every second was on a high, except the part where my snacks ran out. I would consider it a 5-star rated movie.

Camera was good, actors looked good, effects were spectacular. WooHo!!
But there was a slight flaw that only some people managed to see. There was a malay extra acting as a soldier in one scene. Wahaha.. I was laughing all the way, tried to control myself (:
As this show is based on Ancient China as a setting, there is no way a malay is helping out in the war. Get what I mean?

But i can't wait for the part 2 to come out next year! Great show!
[A must watch] xD

AMK Art and music fest.

2008-07-04T08:16:00.000-07:00

Today evening I went to Rachel Kan's school for her school's art and music festival. It was quite a big event looking at the setup and items made. I went to the ''dance floor'' first. Wow. The dance items were spectacular and beautifully choreographed.
Followed by the ''Creepy tales''. Haha.
That was Rachel's station where she was acting. The stories were quite ok, but the thing was seeing Rachel act and she also had her hair tied in 2 braids. So cute! lol.
Totally never seen this side of her before. (:

More or less after visiting other stations, I met up with Rachel after she had been debriefed and changed to go eat. Not much after that. Had some talk (:
So fun!

(P.S. AMK Sec had a lot of exhibits and models on display. Their art was..whoo! Indescribleble. Many things had to be seen first-hand with your eyes*)

~One of the reasons why AMK sec won so many environmentally friendly awards.~

Go.

2008-07-02T06:31:00.000-07:00

How come when there is always a good thing out there, nobody seems to want it if it feels strange and unfamiliar? It always has to have someone to act as a leader to go out, before others will follow.

I really think that the person might sometimes have to be ourselves. The thing out there might just be what we need, but if because of a little unfamilarity we miss it by just ''that much''.
It really not fair to miss what is needed in your life for just stupid fears.

Celebrations.

2008-07-02T05:47:00.000-07:00

So many events lined up for me this weekend.
First of all I have a carnival that's going on in Rachel's school. (:
She's acting in a drama. Haha. Its probably going to be worth watching.

Secondly, I have St. Gabriel's Secondary well-renowned Mr Lim wedding to attend.
Oh boy, am I ready for it. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Wishing you a happy marriage for life! (:
Then I have church on Saturday! Going to be cool.

Ashley, hope you save up soon enough to fufil your dream!

Here I go again.

2008-06-21T08:28:00.000-07:00

Looking forward to the re-opening of school. Try listening to the song devotion. http://youtube.com/watch?v=eLlKscsihR0

Haha.. its with mixed feelings that I enter the gates of my school again. Its the place full of chances and openings, a place where life can be so fufilling. Yet again, a place disgusted by a large group of homosapiens around the world namely students.

Here I go again. Not sure where I belong, I really would look forward to school if not for the long hours you know. The exams and work aren't really much trouble. Its just time consuming trying to learn something that can be taught quickly by my wonderful tution teacher, however not so for my school teachers.

But as I said, full of opportunities for the kingdom. And that's what I am here today for. That very purpose, no more wasting of time.

Let's go.

Church Camp.

2008-06-13T07:59:00.000-07:00

Revival was what was happening at COSBT annual church camp. Making disciples was the theme. And that was exactly what we did. Okay, I will not give too much details, for more information please visit the church CDs counter to purchase camp cds. ( Greatly encouraged for everyone(: )

The great thing was I made new friends! I met Rui Qi ( Xunxiang's sister ), Jun Jie and Emily.
We had great fun in our rooms playing lots of games. =)
There was prophecies made to almost everyone in the camp and Pastor Lim at the chinese service was a songwriter. Its was Cool. Sang so many nice songs.

Overcoming everyone else's thoughts.

2008-06-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

Wow. Thats what i have to say about the radical conference that I just came back from. This time the main speaker was Pastor Preston/Voltron from United States of America, New Jersey.

Even though this time Marcus couldn't make it to church, at least Colleen was. But still I bought some CDs for him to hear.
Mainly, I thought that a part of his sermon namely ''No More'' really speaked into my soul and spirit.

Haha.. also learnt the little dance of New Jersey culture. =)
(you know what I mean)
He talked about love that can come in-between any conflict and can resolve it. And also that so many times we try to fit in, but sometimes we just can't because we really don't belong here with others. So what do we do then? We just leave it and fit out =) really..

Offering all I have to Him who gives me comfort in my time of need.
Resolved my conflicts. Forgiveness and love in the place of hurt and rejection.

Post Exams, Pre Holidays.

2008-05-23T05:34:00.000-07:00

Just finished the cluster school carnival thing hosted by our school. So very much tired now. So much have happened. Now 'O' lvl students are preparing for their Mother Tongue paper. Now I am so busy with my projectwork, competitions, CCA thats I have almost no time for you. How could this be happening?

It just doesn't make sense.

It was really great to meet you at the carnival Shi Qi. Had lots of fun playing all the games.

Sigh.

2008-05-15T03:27:00.000-07:00

So much for hard work. Not getting very good results.

POA- A1
A & E maths- A1
Chinese- B3
Combined Humans- C5

School aside, these few days have been quite fruitful for me. Learnt a few lessons myself about human relationship. There really is so much more in this world then what you can learn in books I guess huh?.

Exams.

2008-04-28T22:03:00.000-07:00

Here come the period where every student, guy/girl, primary/secondary, even parents start to freak out. I pretty much like exams. For me as long as I listen in class, I think I will be quite ok.

Then of course that's only in theory. Practically I do freak out a little bit myself.
I have to be fed Essence of Chicken every morning for my exams. I really love it! Wish I could drink it everyday. Haha..

Hope everyone do well for your exams. So we can enjoy the wonderfully holidays without worries =)

A lost generation

2008-04-18T23:25:00.000-07:00

It's been so long. Since I blogged. I saw this from Kenneth's blog so I took it..haha
--------------------

I am a part of the lost generation…

And I refuse to believe that…

I can change the world…

I realize this maybe a shock but…

“Happiness comes from within”…

Is a lie, and…

“Money will make me happy”…

So in 30 years I’ll tell my children…

They are not the most important thing in my life…

My employer will know that…

I have my priorities straight because…

Work…

Is more important than…

Family…

I tell you this…

Once upon a time…

Families stayed together…

But this will not be true in my era…

This is a quick fix society…

Experts tell me…

30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce…

I do not concede that…

I will live in a country of my own making…

In the future…

Environmental destruction will be the norm…

No longer can it be said that…

My peers and I care about this earth…

It will be evident that…

My generation is apathetic and lethargic…

It is foolish to presume that…

There is hope…

And all these will come true unless we choose to reverse it…
-----------------

Exercise time.

2008-03-28T03:44:00.000-07:00

Just came back from running 2500m at my house's park. So exhausting. It took me 10-11 minutes to cover the 2.5km lap. Thats pretty bad for me, and after running I had a prompting my time was up in this world..lol. That was a lie, just felt very dehydrated.

I had actually planned on running 2 times, another for cool down. But almost imediately after my first time it started drizzling. Luckily I reached home before the heavens opened and started pouring like the rain and flood Noah saw in the ark. That was another lie, just very heavy rain.

Gonna get some food for the energy I lost.

Ahead of time.

Whoa. I don't believe myself. I started studying as if I was taking exams/'O' (ordinary) levels soon. Just came back from Yijun's house, went there to study with Charmaine Bay, Yijun and Shannon came later.
There, our little study group =)
P.S. Charmaine didn't studied a lot, kept eating and drinking HL milk. haha

I woke up quite early this morning and went on my way to church excitedly. Surprisingly I reached church at 8.30 am. It was my first time being so early in church. Went to the English Service Easter Program, totally reflective. Down the Via Dolosora - its a song you must hear in youtube (best with lyrics). After that went off to study.
The rest is probably history.

Happy Day

2008-03-20T17:36:00.000-07:00

Good Friday is a day of rememberance. It really is a great day, I woke up this morning and already hear the birds chirping. Sounded so peaceful. Also because it is a public holiday.
LAter I will be going to watch Vantage Point. Think its going to be a really cool one.

Just realised that I have been over-eating too much and forgetting to exercise. Think I am moving on from the 50's kg to the 60's kg. I really like to eat, so eating is so much easier than sliming down which makes you sweats like crazy. Trying to watch my food limit nowadays. Haha..

Back to civilisation

2008-03-12T19:14:00.000-07:00

Just returned from M'sia yesterday. Had a camp at Kota Tinggi Rainforest. It was quite a lot of fun staying there for 4 days and 3 nights. Attempted to climb Gunung Panti but couldn't make it because of the heavy rain that day.

Next day, we tried to climb the Pelapah waterfall. Very interesting journey, my group made it up! Yeah! It was a totally beautiful sight...and feeling playing under the waterfall.

This camp is really worth remembering.
Still happy that I am back in Singapore though. Now I have to go and wash my muddy clothes =)

New handphone

2008-03-02T06:15:00.000-08:00

Just got a new phone today. Its quite a nice looking one. I never liked slide/turn/clam phones, always wanted a simple one. I got Sony Ericsson K770i. Pretty cool. Cyber-shot too! Now I can take lots of pictures, dream come true.
Also got a change of handphone number. Dang! Hate all the hassle of having a new number, I must tell the whole world about. Sucks. Whats up with the test week?.

I heard a two part sermon for the past Saturdays about What Would _ Do?. The blank automatically fills in as Jesus/Satan. It really was a wake up call to me rather then a talk/moral lesson/discussion.
How I've been living 15 years of my life really shocks me a little. Sometimes I totally don't give a hoot about my identity and start doing stupid things. Just some regret. Really hope to straighten out my thoughts and move on to another level of life, a higher and better one.

Thinking..

2008-02-22T02:31:00.000-08:00

Just thinking for a little while on this week. I feel that I have neglected many things, which in my laziness created much more problems for myself.
If I said that i felt stressful, that would be a cliche. Who doesn't feel stressful and tired? There are always times in life where we all breakdown, however there is also breakthroughs.

Change me Father,I don't want to be the same day after day.

Val day.

2008-02-15T02:04:00.000-08:00

Day for celebrating love and friendship.
Wow. 14 Feb '08 was a great day. Because she was not in Singapore yesterday, so I spent it with some of my friends this year. Thanks Alim for free hugs. Haha.. Crazy day. Imagine what guys can do on a valentine day, lol boys' school =)

After we went for lunch then I had to go off. Stupid tuition. Quite sad, spending such a nice day in a class after hours of classes. I almost bought a rose for her sister to keep. But on second thought, haha. Rachel may kill the rose. =D

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
Haaha.

Steamboat!!

2008-02-05T02:31:00.000-08:00

Wow.. This is my favourite time of the year! All the food! And its almost free! well..for me it is =)
Also getting the chance to meet some of my once a year seen relatives..haha. A really fun time! Oh. and not forgetting the cash that we all youngsters receive. Wow. I declare this week my favourite week and also the best holiday! =)

Thinking about..

2008-01-26T07:43:00.000-08:00

Small kind acts can really change a person's attitude. I think i heard something similar like a smile is contagious or something like that. But besides smiling, I would rather do something more if possible to make a small impact or plant that little seed.

I am so proud to know people like Esther. Brought over ( probably by force by your sister) to cell group. I found it a little difficult to even try to ask your name. Always hiding in one corner. However, now you are totally opposite. Always chraged up and ready to go for the Great Commision!

Also Shannon. Haha. I think you came over to COSBT because you were following/dragged by your sister. You were so shy and quiet, never wanted to participate in anything. Wow, but look at you now, a awe-inspiring small group leader growing in God.

Not forgetting Samuel, haha buddy. I still remember when you first came to Shalom, everytime we were having praise and worship or discipleship, you and Tom (partner in crime) were always trying to hide from everyone under the tables and behind cupboards. =)
Now you are forever staying strong in God. Praising God with your talents!

Great gentlemen and ladies of the everliving God.

National Library

2008-01-25T07:24:00.000-08:00

Today I had a an school librarian excursion to the National Library at Bugis street. It was my first time at the new library ever since it moved from its old location. It was totally amazing!! Unlike any other national library, its huge! Very quiet! So many things to do there besides studying such as...checking out old newspaper with the microfilm thing and old VCR video viewing.

Ok, maybe many of you have been there and may think that this post is kind of from a guy who has never stepped into a library. But to me its really quite a cool thing. Almost every second I was being amazed in every way.

(was lazy to rotate it =)

Think this was one of the holding..I won't say pillars but something like that.

The very long and big building and space. This is not the whole length though like only 1/3 of it.

National Library! Nice.

At Ignite '08

2008-01-20T05:28:00.000-08:00

Apart from the usual praises for many conferences that I went to. This one was truely different. Ask me why! Haha. 'Cause in this conference it clearly talked about reaching out to your schools. It was straight forward right from the first sermon, no one ever needed to explain to me that I needed to impact my school.

Realising from one of the second day sermons, that I am always in school. And besides having doing my work, I am sure to have free time so why not share?

I now will go on ahead with my best for my school. I take it upon myself to make a change in my area! Serangoon is taken over! Ending my part of the race with my best is only the least that I should do!

Resolutions 08

2008-01-12T06:30:00.000-08:00

Well.. Here I am. Back after a week.
This week was a rather rough one, been staying up late doing schoolwork and class admin stuff like never before. I am begining to think that maybe, just maybe in this leap year I might need some help to push myself on. Unlike in the past, where usually I depend mainly on myself to get things done.

Trying to have some peace in my hectic life now. Oh. And my New Year's Resolution for 2008 is to try my best to smile at people and in situations that really sucks. =)
Cause I realise that a small effort that I make to smile can really change the atmosphere. So if you see me smiling at you...I am not trying to be funny =)

Alvin's wedding

2008-01-05T22:04:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to Alvin's wedding. It was great fun! Seeing one of my oldest cousin getting married was kind of fun really. After service I went off with my great looking cousins =) Rosaline and Eveline to the wedding. Took quite a number of photos. (not of the bride and groom..lol =p)

haha..only have 3 pictures with me. But everything was really good. They had a very nice video and pictures of their wedding. It was really good =)

Congrats to Alvin & Katherine!

New year's eve!

2007-12-31T18:51:00.000-08:00

Just woke up! haha.. I slept from 7am this morning to 10 am. Last night was awesome fun!
Went out with some media crew: Wee Huat, Muen, WeiQiang, Liyuan, Davin, Vidas, Regina, Mich Lo and myself.We went to watch AVP2. It was supposed to be a good movie but...forget it. Then afterwards we went to Rochor Road to eat beancurd =)
Then we split up, Muen sent Davin and Vidas home while the rest of us went to West Coast Park for some breeze. lol.
Ended up talking and talking from 2am till 5am. Then we went home. Even though it was tiring, I still had to admit that it was great fun with you people!

Year end

2007-12-29T07:15:00.000-08:00

So fast and it is already coming to the end of the year.
Taking some time and thinking back what I have been doing throughout this 365 days. Well...I'll be rather proud of myself. I think studies wise I did rather well. Got into the class that I wanted. In my walk with God, hmm..It wasn't lousy, in fact I felt that in the second half of this year I grew even more than before. Still wanting to grow even more though =P (Ain't satisfied!)

Also cell group (Nissi Salt 1),
I want to take this time/post to thank all of you people in my cell group who have seen me grow so much. People who have also encouraged me, Weiliang, Michelle, Samuel, Liyuan, even Jieying. Thank you so much for keeping me in the walk. (For those I did not mention, you know who you are, you deserve the same credit too.)

Media buddies,
It has been so good to serve along side with all you people. Having so much fun and at the same time enjoying what God has in stored for us. Special thanks to Kenneth, Wee Huat, Zhao Lun, Wei Qiang, Muen, Vidas, Zhen Ke. You people have taught me so much from projection to lights, sound mixing to coiling cables. Hahaa..This year was really a good year for media! I hope next year in 2008 it would be even more fun!

My friends,
I thank everyone that I know whether in my school, church, basketball friends, as long as you know me=)
Maybe I won't say out how much I love all you guys. Shy. Haha.. But now in this post I am saying, thank you so much for all that you people have done for me. Every little things impacted me thats for sure!

This post is getting long already.lol. Probably one of my longest post=)
I hope that all of you will have a fruitful year next year! Have fun counting down!

Christmas!

2007-12-23T06:25:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went for the Christmas Bash at Jurong Stadium!
Wooh!. It was awesome!
There was a lot of salvation!
It was also very fun. I loved the drama, performance and not forgetting the dance!
Wooh!. Nice job everybody!

Its going to be christmas soon!
I really hope that everyone can enjoy it and stay merry! HoHOHO!!

YI camp '07

2007-12-20T06:24:00.000-08:00

Returned home from RJC for YI camp.
The camp was very impactful. This year's speaker was Pastor Matt Fielder! He was a great preacher!
Besides the first YI camp that I went in either 2003/2004, I think this one made the most impact in my life.
I felt it was like a woke up call to me to tell me that I have been slacking and not telling people around me the Good news.
I also enjoyed the games. It was great fun seeing my team member going all out for the games!
Especially the 3rd day when we had war games as a tribe! Totally awesome!
Just before I go. There is a event this saturday night at Jurong Stadium. It a christmas party sort of.
Whoever's free please come!
P.T.L!

Old friends

2007-12-11T06:30:00.000-08:00

Woohoo!
Today I met Ashley to eat ice-cream at Swensens for breakfast. haha..
I haven't saw her since 2 years ago I think. So long.
It was in one of the camps in Malayasia where I met her..lol.
We ate at the Northpoint Swensens. It was nice, but Northpoint wasn't.
Both of us were so bored that we went to make those handphone keychain with our names on it.
And also take neoprint. haha..then very funny. the machine got this Wind* button.
when we press there was actually a fan to blow our hair..lol. like models.so cool!

Then ltr she went to the Zoo with her family while I went home.
haha...but who knows. She sms me at night and asked me if I was free..lol
Went to shop at Bugis Junction/Street.
Man..could she shop.haha
She bought a lot of shirts, 2 bags, a watch...etc.
Haha..
End up now we very tired, but it was fun and worth the trouble.

Mission trip '07 !

2007-12-05T04:22:00.000-08:00

I am back from MISSION TRIP '07!
This year's mission trip was wonderful. I saw many people who were so desperate for the love of God.
I was in Nong Khai for about a total of 6 long days.
We went to the schools there almost daily, which then in the night we did night rallies.

It was really amazing to see God work in Thailand so powerfully. I really think that this year I wasn't

prepared for Him to use me. But still I tried! =)
While doing the rallies and giving out treks, I also had a lot of fun. (Thats me, samuel, wanlin and the thai translators)
My team had a great time. haha. We also went for prayer walking at temples, idol gardens.
It was so cool knowing all the idols stories. they kind of link like a comic.lol
the translators were very good friends to me..haha. we made a havoc on the bus.oops!
But the driver also didnt mind much, cos he also our good friend!! woohoo!
then last day we went back to Bangkok to shop.
phew.was shopping tiring, even though I could say that it was a fruitful shop.haha
going back..lol
There were also Australians who joined us in this mission trip.
One of them here is my good buddy, Rainer.

As you can see, in the picture he is sharing his testimony.
A really powerful one of how God saved his life.
There are a lot more pictures. But I just cannot find time to put them all up. Sorry.
I really missed mission trip already. But I'll still wait for next year to go again! =)

2007-11-26T04:28:00.000-08:00

Mission Trip is coming less than a day's time!
I am very excited to get up tomorrow. WooHoo!!
Thailand here we come!
Get my jackets on. Funny leh, this year my daypack like very big.
Maybe cause of my jacket.

Wow whee!..

2007-11-22T01:06:00.000-08:00

I just bought a PSP!
Super happy. It was kind of difficult to find. So many places all out of stock.
White colour. Very stylish.

And there was a show I watched on channel 5. Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Its super funny..
Compare little kids IQ to adults. lol
Welcome back Esther and Tiffany from overseas!
Haha..Going to go to mission trip in a few days!
I cant wait for it!!

Last last day of work

2007-11-19T07:14:00.000-08:00

Back from work.
Now looking back I really miss them even now already.
Today time passed extremely fast and also most things went especially well for me =)

Last day of Work

2007-11-19T03:17:00.000-08:00

As the title of this post clearly says, today is the last day of my work at Pizza Hut.
It holds many moments of friendships in that Pizza Hut.
But still its always the anxiously waiting for the payday part.
Its coming, but not yet here.
Arghh!!...

Mission Trip.

2007-11-15T02:37:00.000-08:00

I went for the first mission trip training already.
This year service one people are all going to Nong Khai!
I've heard much about that place..
Have to go there by bus via Udon Thani. Gonna be a long trip =)
In my team :Junze, Liyuan, Weiliang, Samuel, Jieying, Shannon, Tiffany, Michelle, Esther, Ann and Ruth!..

It was very fun. Saw all the new skits.
Can't wait to practice them!
Tomorrow going to bake some cookies at Michelle's house.
And car wash on Sunday!
I am in the Windows Cleaning Department =)
Clean that car! =)

Tiring Tuesday.

2007-11-13T03:17:00.000-08:00

Today was a totally tiring but fun day.
First thing I did in the morning..swimming!
haha.I finally pulled myself out of my house and into the pool.
I really can't remember when was the last time I went for a proper swim in a pool.
Still got the hang of it though =)

Then I felt super hungry and went all the way to Tampines Mall to eat some buffet.
Man! Could I eat. I stacked up quite a lot of plates..haha
I was bored. So I went with my dad to Orchard Road to take a stroll.
I bought a new shirt! haha.
Took a rest at Starbucks.
After the whole day I was super tired.
Thank God I slept peacefully on the bus home =)

Faith

2007-11-10T06:35:00.000-08:00

There are many kinds of defination about faith out in the world.

1.
Confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2.
Belief that is not based on proof.
3.
Belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion.
4.
Belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit.
5.
A system of religious belief.
6.
The obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement.
7.
The observance of this obligation; fidelity to one's promise, oath, allegiance.
8.
Christian Theology. The trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved.

These are found in dictionary.com
But how about your own defination of your faith?
Today Pastor preached a sermon about Real Faith.
Naturally, most christians when refered to faith and the bible will turn to the Book of James.
Understanding my own limited faith that I had in my God made me knew how deep I had gone into His words after all these years.

Small things, Big effects

2007-11-05T07:07:00.000-08:00

This post is kind of related to one of Wanzi's posts about discontentments.
Really weird. Today when I was in SGH, was kind of sad that time. Then I received a sms from Wanzi.
Encouraging me. Haha..
After I read her sms I felt a lot better.
Its really amazing come to think of it, her sms was just in time =)

While leaving SGH, I left with contentment and I knew that the sms really made my day. Lol
Little things like this can totally change somebody's mood for the day.
Making a difference by doing small things like smiling or encouraging, can have big effects on the person.

2007-11-04T07:08:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been going into one of the driest periods of my spiritual life.
Because of many family problems, I feel very tired and exhausted.
I really need some miracle in my life to turn things around.
Its times like this you wished that there was an instant-miracle cup thing.
Maggie Miracle. As if.

Yesterday I went to church. We watched a movie Facing the Giants
It was a very touching movie.
Felt it quite close to heart. =)

Opening up myself

2007-10-31T06:58:00.000-07:00

Many a time I like to keep things to myself.
That because it is always so difficult to tell someone about your problems, though now I found that I should open up myself more.
Now I very talkative.
Kind of scared that my phone bills very build up to a high cost.haha

While talking to others I have also been hearing a lot about others problems.
It has been a great experience for myself.

(thanks to Wanzi. smiles =))
Think About It.

My new name =)

2007-10-29T08:04:00.000-07:00

I got a new name today.
Haha. Jo Jo, she couldn't pronouce my name, lol
so she gave me a name Andre.
Quite cool leh..
So I begin telling my Malay friends about it.
Easier for them to pronouce. =)
I so kind right..helping those in need

This week was quite a hectic week.
But I still did remember my new year resolution.
Ha.
It was to spend time with my family and friends.
Don't neglect them.

The daily boogle

2007-10-27T08:40:00.000-07:00

What have I achieved so far in my life?

I know that I am still young, but there has to be something that I did for all these years..
Hmm..
Maybe the only thing that I can think off is finishing a big buffet.
=)

Oh..I would love to go overseas especially New Zealand
Probably 'cause I like to eat mutton and beef.
Woohoo!
I think they have lots of fun things to do there also.

Now for prayers lists:
1) Wanzi, Edwin and many others are taking O levels this year..
2)Weiliang, Gideon, these guys are taking A levels..more tough.haha
3)Kenni, Stephen, Daniel. the people busy overseas.don't forget 'em
4)Finally for everyone to enjoy the holidays..[P.s. This is the least important one, pray for the rest first =) ]

First Day at my first job

2007-10-24T08:18:00.000-07:00

24 October '07 marked my first day at my first job.
It wasn't that bad.
Taking bills, serving food, slacking in the kitchen and eating pizzas(oops..too much info)
Fun. I made lots of new friends.
But all older than me. =(
I really can't wait to get my pay and do some spending..haha

On the contrary, I felt tired during the peak hour.
Quite normal, had to serve..blahblahblah..
Time passed rather slowly while I was at work
Everytime I looked at the clock, only 5 minutes had passed.
lol.Seemed like 30 minutes to me though.

After everything. Packed up came home.
And I ate my delicious Seafood mania Pizza( still fresh)
woohoo!.. It was unlike any pizza delivery.

Pizza Hut...mm..smell that

2007-10-23T04:33:00.000-07:00

I found a job at long last!
Its in a Pizza Hut (not telling you where)
Gonna save up.Woohoo!
Buy whatever I want, no restrictions.
I rather work then just lay in my bed whole day and slack.
Boring life
No kick lul.
Eating pizza for dinner sounds wierd though.
Like very not filling.

So I found my job. How 'bout you?

2007-10-22T03:49:00.000-07:00

Went to look for another job again today.
I think this one might have more chance, haha
It quite cool.
Getting a job that pays me well. =)
Cash!

Relationships

2007-10-20T18:22:00.000-07:00

People in many ways are like family to me
Media and Cellgroup. These people help me to get on with life somehow.
I might imagine sometimes without all these people in my life it would be chaotic. Lol.
Also not forgetting the people overseas, Kenni(in Australia training) and Daniel(in UK studying)

When I first met Kenni, he was the super long hair guy which most of you should know if you had seen his old photos.
After he went to NS he looks a lot better.haha
Short hair and all. Jia you in NS!

Daniel was also a great friend to me. We shared some of our problems, a great guy to talk with.
Recently he just went back to UK to study. Do well in your studies.

Wouldn't know what to do without everyone?!

First Post

2007-10-20T07:36:00.000-07:00

This blog is brand new..
Gonna make it a simple blog
Just plainly for expressing my own views

Today I went to church, yeah it was pretty great and all
but I thought to myself. What did I learn from the sermon?
I wasn't really paying attention to the speaker. Tired
Pretty much excues but..
Yes.
Then after I ate dinner it was rather boring lor..
Didn't get to play 'cause Serena and Kenneth's cell group were preparing for catering
Went home after that.
Yeah. Thats about it.
