Cycled from Xunwei's house to Marina Barrage, and back again, through bukit timah.

Though shorter compared to the route we did 2 years ago, I must say the fun we had was comparable - albeit with a smaller group.

Now I just need rest. Loads of it.

First run in eons!

Totally shagged, and died after around 15 minutes, hahaha.

Ohwell, that's a pretty okay start I guess! I feel good after running though, and can't wait to run again soon!

That will be my last run of 2011 though. But come 2012, I want to be running and running. I plan to take part in some 10k run with ZheHui and Dion, so I gotta be prepared! Not that army won't prepare me anyway.

Young Adults camp for the next 4 days.

Luwin's speaking, oh yay, gonna have a good time during the messages. Luwin really can capture my attention and get his points across, imo.

Trouble is I haven't thought of the songs for worship leading ): thankfully I'm leading on the third evening, which gives me some time...

I need HYMNS that talk about the holy spirit or the acts of the holy spirit! Drop me a text if you can think of any (though I doubt anyone knows, since everyone's so contemporary :P)!

Ciaoooo,

P.S. It'll be my first time with the YA! Hope things don't get awkward!

What did Adam say to Eve on the day before Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Eve!

So I completely forgot to write Christmas cards for my friends this year ): I was rather busy, and during the free time I had, I just felt like resting - now I know why my free time felt so boring! And there I was, complaining that I had nothing to do /:

--

I went to Elliot's church yesterday, with Jerm! I went for their youth Christmas service and it was fun! The youth there outnumbers my youth by milesss, hahaha, and they were rather friendly to the newcomers (: The theme was 'reason for the season', and even though I have known that Christmas is more than just the giving/receiving of gifts, and the festivities that come along with the occasion, I never really applied it. I guess it's very easy to get caught up with all the Christmasy feelings that one would feel, and lose focus on the reason why we are even celebrating this season. So, as Christmas knocks on the door, and my church's Christmas eve service is today, I'll keep this in mind.

One of the games that was played was super mega cool! It was essentially Don't Forget The Lyrics but using a texting service, from polleverywhere - where everyone has the chance to fill in the blanks, by sending their answers to a number! Fastest fingers win! It was really cool and I think it can be an idea for other events, what with technology being so advanced now!!

Being a contemporary Baptist church, they were singing Chris Tomlin and other contemporaries, and it was a welcoming feel - especially since Hermon's very conservative and hymn-ish!! Heh.

Here's a different rendition of Joy To The World!

Merry Christmas, eve!

I've finished reading thru the Bible. Not with complete understanding yet though, but imo, reading thru the Bible in this way is not wrong and does not, in any way, de-revere the Bible. I just realised that it's kind of like what teachers taught us, in attempting comprehension questions - where we are encouraged to read thru the passage once, then reread it again, paying more attention the second time round, (though I believe no one actually does that) heh.

Anyhow, it was a pact I made with Nadine at the start of this year, and I'm glad I've stuck to it. Come next year, I hope I'll be able to do some quality (self/taught) Bible studies, going more in-depth, despite having army!

HongKong Trip [28.11 - 1.12]

Sooooo many people I know went/are in HK during this hols! HK's like the place to be in eh! hahaha. I went with my family and we stayed at the Hollywood Disney Hotel! And so we went to Disneyland too. Granted it was mostly for kids (it's totally for kids who am I kidding) but I still had some fun there! It's good to feel young(er) at heart! We mostly went for sightseeing over at HK, not much shopping as my brother and I would have liked hahaha.

This is effectively my last family trip (save for the possible malaysia day-trips) before I enter NS! Wooo 2 more months before I enlist, and 1 more month before my results come out! In the end, I guess I'm still glad we went for this trip after all (:

--

Mission Trip [3.12 - 8.12]

I went to Ipoh for a youth mission trip by my church! Initially I wasn't able to go for this due to possible clashes with my HK trip, but I'm so so so so so glad the dates didn't clash. These 6 days were really awesome and fulfilling. Chances to lead, share, learn and make new and strengthen old friendships - I'm glad I came for it. :D

Through this camp, I had my very first exposure to leeches, which I never had the chance to see, due to AC having no OBS! Leeches are so disgusting! Black, slimy and slug-ish. I also got to see how salt can kill the leeches (and everything else). Of course, this isn't the biggest takeaway though! :P

The speaker was really good. He was such a joker, and I think this is one of the most well-chosen speakers of all the camps I've been to! Another would be Chris Chia. He totally cracked everyone up with his jokes and asking to be called handsome etc etc! Hahaha I hope his messages got through to the Ipoh youths, as well as our own youths.

Handsome!

As there were 4 Chinese-speaking Ipoh youths, we needed to help translate the speaker's message for them, and aid them in the discussion. I joined this group to try and help! I must say this was a really trying and demanding task, since we didn't have the time to read through the message outlines before the camp itself - resulting in us having to stay back once the days' programmes were over to discuss and plan for the next day's messsage. Tired as we were, I'm glad we were all willing to sacrifice a bit of sleep and free time(: Granted uncle David was mostly the one leading the Chinese group, with this superb Chinese skills, but I must thank the rest, Zhehui, Mark, Naomi, Rebecca, Dom, for helping out so enthusiastically!!

(unofficial) Chinese group pict in the bg!

Definitely one of the major takeaways from the camp, and from any other camp, is the friendships!

New:
The 2 Chinese-speaking youths, Junkai and Jiahao.
- Inseparable friends though they had some quarrels during the camp
- Hopefully they took away something from the camp, and their parents won't stop them from coming for future Christian-related stuff.

Junkai & Jiahao

The 3 cute boys of uncle Zeb and aunty Kok Eng, Luke, Thaddeaus and Asher.
- Stay cute and lively! hahahaha

Luke

Thadd
Asher

Naomi.
- Student leader!
- Got to interact with her for the first time(:

and Old:
Yanwen.
- Group leader!
- We were both busy poking fun at Philip and Celest hahaha, and the frequent 'are you thinking what i'm thinking' looks!

Jiayi.
- Adult leader!
- Really encouraging to see him more involved with the youths! Totally following his brother's footsteps!

Mark.
- My 'Ruth' hahahaha.
- Great that I could interact with him more!
- ACS all the way!

Sent Steven and Alvin off at the airport. Met Eko and James there too! It's so fast how 4 years have passed, and now this is their sponsored-by-MOE return flight back to Indo!!

Great friendships last a lifetime. (:

Then I spent some time by myself at the airport, lounging at T3, armed with my ipod and my book. Went to woodlands and explored the library! It's a rather cool library! Then, met Sam for dinner! All in all, quite a fun day, albeit being alone for most parts. But anyhow, time alone is precious. Time alone gives me the freedom to let my thoughts flow too. Haha oh no, do I sound like I'm gonna release a novel soon!!

--

Anywayy, the class plan to go overseas doesn't seem to be materializing, what with everyone overseas and not free ): maybe a chalet would be best! Speaking of chalets, I'll be having one with my relatives and one with my church friends! Fun fun (:

This evening, I'll be going with my church friends to yewteepoint and westmall to support our children's choir who will be caroling! So cute!

..And this has been by far the most productive work I've did today! Now back to my watching of naruto!

It's scary how one year can change so many things. Friendships I once had (pimples are now my best friends!!), conversations I used to have, uniforms I used to wear, things I used to do. Give it another year, there'll pretty much be changes too.

Change is the only constant.

I concur.

18.11

(Finally) the last day of IB! I'm so thankful I no longer have to sit for an exam for my formal education! Even though some things went wrong, and others went well, during this exam season, I thank God for being there with me throughout the papers.

Come 6 Jan, desired or undesired results, I'll still praise Him.

The mini class outing was kinda fail, cause we dilly dallied for so long, on deciding what to do. We need a proper lan outing, pronto. And a pool, cycling, movie, outing.. the list just goes on!

Anyhow, I'm not going to waste my free time till 2 Feb away, so I have started reading one of the few books that I have with me. I hope I truly understand and takeaway some things from them. It's time I dugged deeper into the faith that I profess, anyway.

19.11

Hung out with birthday girl Nadine and mission trip training at night!

I'm pretty excited for the mission trip - even though it'll involve me speaking/leading at least twice! Being the super-ultra introvert, I hope I survive hahaha.

It's gonna be my first mission trip, so I'm totally looking forward to it. I hope I'll be able to enrich the kids at Ipoh, as well as get enriched myself! (:

I really hope I'll be able to do my part of the work well!!

Anyway, today, my mind randomly remembered this and I think it's just too true:

Judge a cat by its ability to fly, and you've basically screwed its life up.

Ramblings

2011-10-12T22:55:00.003+08:00

My formal school life is all but over (save for the IB exams in November)!

I'm so saddened by it, partly cause I am not ready for life after school, and more so, cause I really do not want to leave acs! 6 good years have passed - the last 6 years were THE best of my life so far and rightly so, since it's the 'prime' age of youths anyway. I would not have want to spend the last 6 years in any other way, in any other school, and I mean it when I say it.

I may not be leaving ac as a typical acsian where I'm confident and charismatic... but I've definitely grown to love the culture and friendships made here! So it's with a heavy heart that I'll be leaving ac (or have left ac, since today was the official last day of school) but it'll always have a special place in my heart!

IB years were definitely the best of the 6 years, and mostly due to wonderful classmates of 6.5, genius og mates and encouraging BB friends - such as (and just off the top of my head) Janell, Esther, Seang, Clement, Bynes and Si Rui! (: indeed I've been fortunate to be provided with these awesome brothers and sisters in Christ (:

I've been slacking in my praying for my closer friends, so I think it's quite timely with the end of school, where I'll sadly see them less (and with IB drawing ever so closer), that I resume praying for them!

--

On a completely different note, I am realizing the fact that more and more people are more extroverted online than they are, offline! I have always met people who were more or less the same, where the difference is but a thin line (hahahahaha) but I'm finding out that more people are just like that - like me! hahaha I always thought I was the only guy who's super hyper/crazy online but nothing like that offline. On that note, I've been trying to change to be less of a double-faced person, if put that way, and be similar online or off!

Okay that was just something that I had to get off my mind.

--

On a closing note, as Os/As/IB draws near, let me leave with a (hopefully, motivating) adage -
Work like it all depends on you; and pray like it all depends on God.

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! (:

Heheh saw this comment on the yahoo news on China accumulating more rare earths and stifling the supply of such precious metals. Dang, China's getting so huge and fierce it's scary! Somehow I just don't like the sound of a China, possibly, controlling the world, even if it's in one area. :P

do the demons know your name

2011-09-16T14:54:00.004+08:00

One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?"

- Acts 19:15

So I was reading Acts today and this verse struck me - hence leading me to this post (which is a good time-off from analyzing my chemistry anyway). Highlighting the verse and checking up on what others have typed in response to the highlighted verse, I saw one post which was titled 'Do the demons know your name?' - hence also the title of this post.

Sidetracking... I love how the Bible on the ipad is so convenient. I get to read about other peoples' responses to the selected verses I'm curious about/unsure of the context. This is just one of the many benefits of technology!

But anyway, so this verse - though in the playful context of what was happening in the preceding verses - is actually quite serious. How many of us can actually say with certainty that because of who I am, even the demons know who I am!

I am also reminded of Matthew 7:21-23:

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of my Father who is in heaven... Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!

Right now, I doubt the demons know my name.

Nevertheless, I shall continue to work towards the Lord knowing my name - cause anyway once He knows - logically speaking - they should know too right? :)

Just some thoughts..

The top comment made me laugh a bit - SAVE MALAYSIA! WE NEED YOU BADLY!

But I guess every country needs to be saved, as much as any country needs! I never really paid attention to this song whenever my ipod plays this song and I usually skip it because it gets repetitive and anyway, I'm not Australian! But somehow I had the feeling of listening to this song this afternoon and felt myself singing along to 'save Australia' :P I particularly like the end part where everyone got together in groups and just sang along. So nice to see (:

Anyway, I don't know why I've been spamming youtube videos. Usually it's to make up for the lack of posts/words. But sometimes it's to share good music around, hahaha.

So anyway, before I go, another video!

Always liked this acoustic version of the song (:

And ohhh, can anyone actually figure out who is the main one singing, at 1:24?

Foreshadowing

2011-08-06T23:01:00.003+08:00

Luwin shared today and he talked a bit about how the Bible is so full of people we shouldn't follow, people who aren't good role models at all. In fact, the only person we should follow is Jesus Christ, Himself.

But hey, guess what there were a number of people who were pretty blameless and whose wrongdoings weren't recorded in the Bible!

Joseph:
A favourite son of his dad, was put on royal (King Lear! :P) and nice robes, resented and envied by his brothers, thrown into a pit, rose up to be second to none, except to Pharaoh himself, in Egypt, and saved so many people (think it was the whole of Israel)!

Daniel:
Not well-liked by the people around him.

And what struck me, and was a new thing to me, was that these people were actually foreshadowings of Christ eh!

Jesus:
Favourite (and only lol) son of God, came down to earth, wasn't well-liked by the people, crucified and hanged on the cross, rose up on the third day, and is second to none, except God his Father, saved those who believed in him and is interceding for us!

Mindblown.

Today ends on a happy note~

Exactly 2 more months!

So I'm feeling stressed over having to work on tok, wl, ioc, common tests, and nyaa! But then again, I realise most ppl have all these to do as well! But I guess I get more worried cause I know I'm damn weak in these things. Sigh, the first week of hols has passed, and I haven't started on anything. True, I had the business comp, but I've been way to slack anyways.

Sometimes, I get the 'vision' that God will take me through and I see myself doing well and smiling when I receive my cert, come Jan next year. And sometimes, I just get so worried over my current state. I'm such a worrywart. /:

But as it's not healthy to end off feeling more stressed, I shall comfort myself - knowing that He has the way plotted out for me, and it is for my good, and He'll take me through all these workkkkkkkk!

It feels like I just wasted away my past 1 and a half years - no anchors, no hockey, no deans list (okay this is forgo-able), no nothing basically luh. Sigh.

And I hate how I can't concentrate on my work at hand at all. It's already the end of term 2 - and I can safely say I am not ready for 1 Nov. Heck I'm not even ready for tomorrow.

Hahha just felt like I had to pour out my frustrations through some medium - bottling things inside can kill.

ramblings

2011-05-06T22:22:00.005+08:00

So I wanted to blog this post on Wednesday - after the math paper. Got lazy/tok essay to do so I haven't! Anyway, I'm so glad it's friday today and the (long) weekend after. This week was going to be a stressful week - with econs and math tests, tok essay and design prac (which george graciously extended till next tues) due! I was so dreading this week, that even the monday holiday didn't really help. The whole day was spent reworking my essay draft which needed 'major restructuring'. Thank goodness I've done up a pretty totally different draft - I hope it is worthy of at least a B grade!! Thank God!

So the reason why this post was thought up was because of what happened during the math test! I know it's a really small thing and all but it brought comfort to me (: I shared this during the bs we had today, I'm so thankful for this regular bb bs we have, even though I'm not very close to most of these brothers-in-Christ.

So anyway, it was halfway during the test that something - not sure if you would call it miraculous but - miraculous happened. So I knew my GDC was low on battery and all, and I even bought batteries the day before. But I guess I was too focused on revising and working on my tok essay that I forgot to replace the batteries. So when I first turned the GDC on at the start of the test and saw the message of 'low battery' - I had that 'oh-my-please-don't-fail-me' moment. So halfway through my test, it blanked out and died, and I was quite stunned for a while. ;P

I immediately asked God to do something and boy did He. (: Actually prior to it dying, while I was attempting the questions, I was running through my head - should I borrow from jeu who's beside me? Will the teacher allow? etc etc (haha totally focusing on the questions)! Butttt, somehow - definitely by God's grace - I fiddled with the GDC a bit and frantically resetted it, and oh maaaaaaaan, it rebooted!! I was so thankful!

Yes, this may be a really small matter, but I was so comforted by the fact that I know that He is with me, hence I tweeted something after the test (: More so, I was so stressed this week that I doubt I would have gotten through week 7 (oh my it's week 7 already?!) without Him. Definitely, my tok essay isn't of a high standard, but I believe it is much much much better compared to my previous draft. ((:

I'd like to talk about the GE but I wanna sleep now - slept at 1 ytd (it's late, based on my usual sleeping hours :P)!! In essence, I just wish the voters would be wise and not vote the opposition, just cause they don't like PAP. Just like in hypothesis testing, rejecting Ho doesn't mean accepting H1 ;P

Gonna have a run with Jerm tmr morning! Can't wait, our first run in eons, gotta get my fitness back up!

Goodnights world!

I think it is very apt that I'm at the book of Job now, in my reading! These few weeks haven't been the best, and now that I fell sick and took green form today, and all, it just feels like I'm all alone. Even though I know He is always there with me, sometimes, you just can't help but feel that way!! Sighh, what a low confidence level ): hahaha and not to mention, my studies aren't looking too good atm! ):

I was talking to Matthew, and he was telling me how I should be like Job, and praise Him even in sickness hehe. I must admit playing and singing on the guitar did help!! (: Now, I'm just looking forward to being healed completely and be able to enjoy the long weekend - which will be spent doing my WL draft 2 and IA4 draft 1, heh! ;P but of course, please let me not forget why we even have this long weekend in the first place. (:

I am reminded of this song shared during plc, and would like to share it again!

Okay, time to study a bit for the english test tmr! The bane of my IP and IB journey.

It feels weird having not exercised in close to two weeks! I plan to run around my estate with Jerm soon enough though! We plan to run before bs every saturday, then go for breakfast, then head to school for bs (: sounds like a plan! I do hope my shins won't still be hurting when I run again though!

So today was free cone day! And so I went with my classmates and Jerm to great world city! hahaha, last year I went with a few of my classmates and we didn't get it, so technically this is my first year having a b and j free cone! hahaha.

With tok op out of the way, I'm feeling much slacker but nooooooo, I shall not slack! I shall prepare for the math test tmr! And hope mr Azmi's feeling better by tmr!

ENCOURAGEMENT

2011-04-11T23:06:00.004+08:00

I must say I have the most awesome-mest friends! I guess I knew that already, but it was re-affirmed today, starting even early in the morning! What do I mean..

I woke up to texts from Nadine and Janell wishing me all the best for TOK! Matthew texted me shortly afterwards too! And Esther was so telepathic as she called me just moments when I reached school to pass me a note! Hee, I wonder who else does stuff for their prayer mortals mann, I know I'm guilty of not /: anyway I digress..

So I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Nadine, Janell, Matthew, Esther, and my other awesome friendssssss! Beginning from sometime ago (pretty recently), I am realising the importance of encouragement and how it really helps! Even though I think my tok op didn't go too good, I think it would have gone worse if not for all my friends and encouragements from them! Not to mention God who was definitely with me when I was presenting.

I was texting my friends about how my op went and guess who replied with the shortest text hahah. Yes, Esther replied! She said: just pray:) With just 2 words and a smiley but I feel, hey, that's just what I need to do. Not that I hadn't been praying before and after the op, but hey, instead of lamenting how I could have done better, why not re-commit the worry to Him! (:

Come what may (on thursday when we know if we need to redo), I know He holds my hand.

Thank God for friends - awesome friends (:

OH AND HI ESTHER! :D

Just gonna end this rather long post for my standards with 2 songs that were in the video for enrolment service! Man, saturday was the first time I heard of them eh. Maybe I heard Chris Tomlin's once or twice, but I don't really remember hehe. Here are they, enjoy!

I need to buck up.

I told myself last year to not procrastinate and slack off too much this year. Maybe its hockey that's making me too tired to do work so its not really my fault but I think the comp is too much of a distraction! I need to stop staying near the comp anymore. Remind me if you see me online!

'So many things to do, too little time.'

How many times have we heard this being said! It just means that it's time to buck up, David, time to buck up...

Just gonna post two new songs that I have heard only recently, even though they aren't really new! hahah, this is what happens when you don't listen to the radio frequently!

Sang this during youth camp, found this song really nice. And really apt.

When the morning comes on the farthest hill

I will sing His name, I will praise Him, still.

When dark trials come and my heart is filled

With the weight of doubt, I will praise Him, still.

(Chorus)

For the Lord, our God, He is strong to save

From the arms of death, from the deepest grave,

And He gave us life in His perfect will,

And by His good grace, I will praise Him, still.

When the morning comes on the farthest hill

I will sing His name, I will praise Him, still.

When dark trials come and my heart is filled

With the weight of doubt, I will praise Him, still.

For the Lord, our God, He is strong to save

From the arms of death, from the deepest grave,

For the Lord, our God, He is strong to save

From the arms of death, from the deepest grave,

And He gave us life in His perfect will,

And by His good grace, I will praise Him, still.

I went to bukit timah for my ee interview this afternoon and boy, it was a good time! The information I have acquired from my interviewee seems really good, and now its up to me to digest it and churn out a good report. I'm slightly afraid that this overload of information may do me more harm than good though, hehe. I must say, more often than once, I've been losing sight of the aim of my ee. More often than once, I suddenly find myself asking myself questions like:
What am I supposed to do with this info?
What is this info for?
Do I really need this info?
Does this help answer my RQ?

I had that feeling just now again, and I must say its pretty troubling. Add to that, sometimes I do not really understand fully the comments that my teacher-supervisor gives me! Then sometimes I do. Ahh, this is so frustrating!

Update:
- Half the holidays have just flown by, and so I need to rev up my working gear!
- I just got house and paddyclarke from Samuel, so I think I should get to reading paddy soon!
- I'm getting addicted to cod4 again, oh no. Its so fun (thanks Shah) but I must tone down the playing... soon.
- I'm addicted to speak now, yayy hahah.
- Since saturday, I've been in a mood where nothing could/can get me down! May this feeling/moment carry on!
- I'm good.

I'm tired, physically tired.

Having all these activities one after another just seem to slowly sap away the already notsomuch time that I have. As a result, I think my relationships have suffered, a bit. And this isn't good!

At least now that I won't be going for pc and sgb, I get around an extra 7 days of free time! And as such, I'm pretty free this week too. Gonna have to finally start on some work while I'm at it, and settle youth camp stuff.

Okay actually, the above part was thought up a couple of days ago when I was so darn busy I wasn't even using my comp for more than 2 hours (so I never really got the time to blog about it till now)! Now its much better, thankfully ((;

My wisdom tooth extraction's at 3pm later, so I'm gonna go do some work before.

My first and last coy camp's over! It was a really good experience, one of the many bb camps that are around. A takeaway is definitely the worship sessions that we have, I was really inspired whenever I hear the whole lt4 singing in unison.

Being a gl helped too! When Clement initially approached me, asking if I wanna be a gl, I agreed straightaway but slightly expressed concern regarding my ability to lead qt sessions. He granted toj to be with me and toj was a great help! We woke up earlier than all to prep ourselves for the qt session later on and I must say qt went really well and besides God's presence, toj's presence was really helpful!! (;

Seeing the juniors being (slightly) more receptive and responsive during qt sessions were really heartening. Hearing the sharings from the group was really encouraging too.

Physically drained, I must say I've been spiritually inspired by this camp. (:

Just to end this post on a lighter (and bigger note), uss' pizzas are really huge!! hahah they're a must-try!

So promos are over, and it ended on a pretty good note for me! Math paper 2 was far far better compared to paper 1, though I lost markssss(duhh), I think it should do good to pull my dismal paper 1 marks upp (;

Had total fun yesterdayyy with wendy's with the class, (which was yuck! Okay not yuck, but in comparison to macs/kfc/bk/subway etc, I think wendy's pales in comparison, by a lot! teehee) then went for pool then to bobby's house! hahaha, the long walks to the faraway coffeeshops from his house to near beautyworld is always fun.

Today, badminton with the .13ers. some at least. Darren didn't reply )); don't think he would be free anyway, confirm having his own plans! /: can't wait to do some exercise after such a long hiatus, hehehe.

Sadly, there's tok day on friday which so spoils the mood. I could do with another day off. I need time to settle some stuff too. And now cas files are due on monday! ))))); can't wait for floorball on saturday though! Its gonna be my first time playing it ((;

Ahhh, so thankful to God for sustaining me through the exams! Now for a good weekend of relaxation before I hit mount eetokia.

So I need to extract a wisdom tooth on my right as it has started to cause problems, though mild ones, like having food particles stuck at the end. Damn. So I told Matthew about it and his reply was a rather short and to the point of 'Oh no. Its super pain ;(' hahaha oh damn! So I checked out wikipedia and found out that wisdom teeth appear from ages 17-25. Yes, right on the dot! )); I'll admit I did wonder why'd God create wisdom teeth if it had no use! But, they do seem to have some use! They possibly, can harvest stem cells! Cool stuff. But no, that still does not make me feel happy that I'm contributing to society! ;P

Kaisheng was sharing with me this song from lp's latest album. I need to go listen to all their songs in this new album soon. I know leave out all the rest is rather nice too! This album gives you a very very berry futuristic feeling!

I remember how I used to keep this song on repeat for as long as I was on the comp, which means forever and ever, hahahaha. Ahhh the good old days! Such a lovely song, and its kinda pretty very berry relevant to, I dare say, every Christian's walk with God.

Bottomline: God's timing is perfect - wait on it.

Seeing all the positive comments about the meaning of the song on another website made my heart leap for a moment ((; I think I'd have broke down in tears if I were a girl!!!! ;P

God is good!

God works in ways, even small ways. So I was nervous about commanding again for assembly, that was my second time. I'm not a guy who can shout really really loud but I think I did pretty okay just now (; God works in small ways, He kept the announcements and devotions really short! When I fell out, I looked at the clock tower - 7:40am. Wow, only 10 minutes? It's gotta be one of the fastest morning assemblies ever - totally. Though I did make a mistake, but yeah, God was with me, and as the thought of the day was for today: God's with us - always. Standing right in front of Scott, I 'bore the full brunt' of his words, and I nearly broke into a smile (; heehee and just like Nadine said, I'm easily made happy!

God is always good.

Chanced upon this on a tumblr:

Why wait for 11:11, when God can listen to you 24/7. ((;

Today's youth meeting was pretty productive, surprisingly, considering Lydia, Jiahan and uncle David weren't there haha. I hope the amazing race for our camp in dec goes well (; reminds me of explorally all over again hahaha.

Despite his usual outspoken and sometimes, maybe overly outspoken nature, Isaac does think a lot, deep down inside. His sharing today really jolted me. And it coincided with missions Sunday today too. I have to admit I've not been a good christian - evangelistic-wise, and its one of God's biggest commands to us christians. /;

I really wish I could turn even at least 50% of my thoughts into words, and even after so, turn them into carefully-crafted words. Sometimes I really do wanna put in my 2 cents worth. I do.

I guess I'm too busy that I don't have time to blog, or I'm just lazy.

I went for a bb hike from last night till this evening. My first ever hike. hahah, and it was a pretty fun experience! Group 4 with Esther and Seang was awesomeeeeeee, too bad our group got sacrificed due to shortage of manpower ;(( I'd have really like to continue the next day's hike with them - along with the 4 cute and funny sec2s, and also, of course, Mr Ding! So sad, we all got split up the very next morning.

The final destination was Christchurch Sec School, and boy oh boy, the school compound there is awesome! They have the high rope elements, you name them all - rock wall, flying fox and high ropes! This was my first time in Christchurch and likely my last too hehe, so glad I got to see how Isaac's ex-school was like.

So I'm tired out, not ttm, but still fairly exhaustedd. Not so much from the walking cause I have pretty strong legssssss (hahaha kiddinggggg) but more so from the meager sleep we had. The bunks in bgbb campsite were pretty nice btw(;

I'm pretty thankful for this hike even though my ee ppt isn't done, my iop ppt isn't done, my econs article hasn't been found, tok essay not started - and they are all due the next week - as I got to forge stronger bonds with 2 people! Namely, Esther, who was in my group, and Mark Chan, fellow logistic/saikang warrior! And also, a little of more bonding with Seang(; though just as Asher said, if God kept the weather perfect for us, likewise, he can help us overcome our (many mountains of) work!

It's 10, I want to get at least 9 hours of sleep, so I shall head off. (ya'll and) I will get past this weekend and the week ahead, for (you guys and) I can do all things through Him who strengthens (you guys and) me!

I am now struggling to come up with a ~4min script for my oral! /; Ohwell, I crapped up one already, though I think there's plenty more I can add in. Gonna ask my teacher for help tmr! I really hope I don't get marked down too much because most of the content are from myself! At least my teacher did say its not about the content, but more so on how fluent one speaks (;

Chem Oly first training tmr(at long last)! /; I haven't read the notes yet, I don't even think I'll be able to understand them by my own. I think I need to make a trip to the national library to get a really thick general Chem guidebook. Mr George Chong recommended it, and Malcolm has it. Ohh mann, I really don't wanna have to drop out but I know I'll have to, sooner rather than later. We'll see how it goes tmr first!

I don't personally know Mr Simon Lai, but I pray that he'll be alright, and he'll have a speedy recovery!

hahahaha. Let's chase after the real things in life!

So we're 60ish% done with our econs short film! It was(is) really hard work, even though Steven's the one doing most, if not all, of the wonderful drawings! If we do come out tops in the competition, I'm sure we all deserve it, considering the hard work we've committed into it (;

Of course, many other alternatives that could have been done during the time doing up the film are daunting. Like I'm still stuck at my EE writeup and I don't wanna give him a bad impression of meee! /;

I can't say that I am starting to have a backlog of work, as the deadlines aren't literally up yet, but I'd have like to have them completed eons ago. I'm already daoing msn messenger, maybe I needa do the same for facebook too!

I actually signed up for the Chem olympiad trainings! I know its very vigorous but I guess I'll just give it a go first, since its self-eliminating anyway, since I do believe I'll have to drop out halfway. At least I'll know then, that passion alone isn't enough - you do need the ability (;

Naturally I was quite saddened when George wanted to reconfirm if I really wanted to join, but I guess that's only natural for him to ask me. I'll just have to put it more effort! I need to better manage my time tooooo /;

This week has been horrendously tiring. I'm always only home past 6, and tomorrow will be no different! But it should all pay off as hopefully my hockey improves and our short film is well-done. (;

When all you gotta keep is strong,
Move along, move along.

I can take heart in the fact that everything is in Your hands, and nothing, nothing is too difficult for Thee.

Had what was most prolly the most out-of-the-house weekend? Not counting the world cup final weekend thoughhh.

I'm so tired.

My work is piling.

And I have no free day this week, hockey on odd days, and econs short film prep on the even days.

Still, I know God will take me through, just like how he answered my simple yet sincere prayer just about 2 hours ago! (:

Then sings my soul!

salvation's song

2010-07-11T16:48:00.003+08:00

Loved before the dawn of time,
Chosen by my Maker,
Hidden in my Savior:
I am His and He is mine,
Cherished for eternity.

When I’m stained with guilt and sin,
He is there to lift me,
Heal me and forgive me;
Gives me strength to stand again,
Stronger than I was before.

So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation’s song;
And I’ll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

All the claims of Satan’s curse
Lifted through His offering,
Satisfied through suffering;
All the blessings He deserves
Poured on my unworthy soul.

So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation’s song;
And I’ll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

Singing glory, honor, wisdom, power
To the Lamb upon; the throne.
Hallelujah, I will lift Him high.
Singing glory, honor, wisdom, power
To the Lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah I will sing with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation’s song;
And I’ll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

Stars will fade and mountains fall;
Christ will shine forever,
Love’s unfading splendor.
Earth and heaven will bow in awe,
Joining in salvation’s song.

This is a pretty new song to me, sang it in church for the second time todayy, the words really spoke to me.

Oh and Matthew, this song has the potential to be a played-on-repeat-but-still-sounds-nice song ((; I believe we kept sanging verse chorus verse chorus verse chorus then verse for like slightly less than 10 minutes! ;D

2010-07-08T18:32:00.002+08:00

It's 630, I told myself to stop slacking once its now. ;( but I guess I'll continue slacking for a while moreeeeee (: ages since I used the comp!

So I went for cage today, awesome time of meeting up with my ex classmates again, woohoo. Oh and I scored once, a beauty left-footed shot ;) hahaha sorry I had to let off some ego of my own (: so we had fun, and I must say after so long of not playing soccer, I'm starting to feel like playing for it again. Can't wait for hockey trainings to start though, been ages too, since I hit a hockey ball.

Everyone was saying how .5's so bonded and full of outings that I'm so proud to be in .5 (; but sadly, I ditched them today cause I was fairly tired after cage. Then again, I don't really like going to kbox, ohwell!

School starts tomorrow! Then its the weekends! woohooo. So my prediction that Holland will go all the way through only to lose at the finals is still holding true. Let's hope the school starts school late on monday so we can thoroughly enjoy the match (;

I've been listening to my 113 chinese songs in my eye-pee-ohh-dee, and I'm at 62 now. Been ages since I've listened to chinese songs, they do sound good! :D

Ahh, okay, I shall start doing some work after dinner time! Oh I love procrastinating.

Davidd

Random thought but I dare say I'll rage if my phone loses its inbox memoriesssss, again ;((

2010-07-05T12:26:00.003+08:00

I'll be away in melekaaa till wedddddd (;

I must say I've neglected here since exams and post-exams, haven't been in the house for long anywaysss.

This is (very) late but : EXAMS ARE OVER! :D

Now to fear the release of results! D:

Stay safe everyone and all the best for those who still have exams (like sook yeen)!

Prayer meeting today was quite alright! It does feel good to have people praying for you, I must say, hehee.

And I didn't study todayy, out of the house all the wayy. But at least I did clear some of my math doubts in school (;

Another term, with more responsibility. Am I up to it?! I know for sure, that I have to start voicing my opinions out more during meetings. Yeppp.

Last working/studying day of the hols! Looking on the bright side, as Bea's status is, its ONE week left till the end of termssssss! Then we have about a week of hols again! (; I'll be sure to catch all the nice movies currently showing! ((; yeppp yepppppp!

Davidd

your love captures me

2010-06-23T23:51:00.005+08:00

tumblr is actually pretty cool, I love all the pictures with phrases/sentences I find nice on it (; those make me smileeeeeee ;D hehe cause I just saw a really nice picture on Celeste's tumblr (; and also partly because with tumblr, I can kope the pictures and post them, at ease, no copyrights infringement whatsoever. I think I'll consider getting a tumblr soooooooooooon! Pictures are far easier and better in putting my thoughts out (;

Steven came back today hohoho, and he came over to meet Xunwei and I to mug! We actually mugged at rafflescity shoppingcentre's foodcourt hurrrrrrrrr. hey there were 2 other youths who mugged for a while too! a lovey couple at that too (;

heheh Steven and his 'hot', 'noodle', 'woman' mispronunciation/thoughtsssssssss, tskk! ohhh and on a separate note, Steven will get us all killed one day - Xunwei and I are positive - so please Steven, control yourself!! ;P

oh and THANKS STEVEN FOR THE TEEEEEEEEEE! ;DDDDDDD

hehe heard this song on some random person's tumblr, hahaha tumblrrrrrrrrrr (again)!

Can't wait for tmr! (;

Cause I am! I'm lost without you!
Are you afraid of leaving tonight?
Cause I am! I'm lost without you!

Twitter is over capacity, again.

Math is pissing me off! /:

Gonna sleep early to wake up early tmr to do some work before my dental!

It'll be a standing ovation! ;D

Davidd

P.S. It's the last week of hols, stay cool guys, and study hard!

p.s. i love you

2010-06-19T21:30:00.006+08:00

OHSO TIRED.

BUT TODAY WAS A FUN-BUN DAY! ((((((;

Woke up at six-thirty today for Explorally Training three! Then rushed off to MGS for my church's family-cum-sports-day meet (: heheh it was quite fun though I was there for like an insignificant amount of time!

My craving for cs is coming back .. and I still haven't lost my touch! ;D there's gonna be a vs game against the ruggers with my class sometime after midyears, alright-o, orsum possum!! But Jang claims they are reaaaaaally pro though! hehehh

I really wanna do well for this midyears, but when I get down to studying, I don't accomplish much, even with Chem, I actually took longer than required. Matthew's thirtypercent-only-nia thinking is slowly seeping into my mind. NO NO NO NO WAY MAN! ;P but now I still have to meet up at uncle Daniel's house on Friday for a meet-up with the next term's comm. Time time time!

I most probably (actually more than eightypercent-ish) am gonna stay on. /: I still don't know if its a good thing or not. But I know I'll miss the yf when I do get too old for it. Only have this and next year left. Choices choices choices, how I wish God would give clearer signs sometimes, actually all the time! heheh, or maybe its just me, being only human, not able to see them! ohwell!

The day after tomorrow! <3

Daviddd

i'm yours

2010-06-17T20:41:00.006+08:00

This guy's voice is really good, totally didn't expect it from such a big guy. Almost just like the script themselves! (Y)

So happy, I just completed (AT LONG LAST!) going through Chem once! ((; but I haven't really started on the other three subjects hahahaaa, ohwell, opportunity cost! /: but I still have quite a number of questions/queries/questionmarksss and Gchong still hasn't replied my mail to him regarding them ;(( I NEED MY CHEM DOUBTS ANSWERED, PRONTO! heheh.

So yesterday was Hanmae's sweeeeet seventeeeeeeenth! We went to HardRock cafe hehee, nice environment they got there, too bad there wasn't a live band playing at that time! The lunch was meant to be a surprise but it went a little wrong, hahaha. It was still cool and fun! Yayyy 5.5! (;

I think I can have my well-deserved break now ... after finishing a chinese worksheet! D:

It's been a weeeeeeeeeeeek mann! How's ya doing!

Davidd

P.S. Oh this is funny! (;

And I just realised, I should thank God for keeping us safe in HardRock while the flood was floooooding orchard just outside! Geez. (:

>50 ?

2010-06-14T09:37:00.006+08:00

Second lunch at lot one
First dinner and second dinner at jurong point.

Oh, and jp has restaurants within the kopitiam, my first time seeing man hahaha, pretty cool! (:

Ohwell, today's a mugging day (my first!) and also ... Tjokro's birthday!

HAPPY EIGHTEEEENTH TJOKROOOO! (:

Really glad I have him as a close friend (Y)

what a perfect day

2010-06-12T23:58:00.007+08:00

10.06

Went science centre for some volunteer's briefing, then headed off to woodlands for the youth dinner! Halfway towards there, Phillip calls to tell me its now changed to orchard! /; luckily I wasn't late though (: Had a good time of fellowship with Isaac, Priscilla, Angela, Joel and Leticia (: we ate at some noodle place in far east then hung around at starbucks in ion. Took 190 back with Joel. Haha he's 20 already! I kinda forgot, but he's working at the building beside dhoby ghaut mrt as some tax-related guy, part time (: he's only going into army in november, sucky time to go in, considering he was in poly (1 extra year) + this few extra months to spare.

It was a fun day (:

11.06 & 12.06 (todayyy)

My cough got real bad during the previous night that I decided I won't go for training today. ;( anyway, finished my iop essay and did one chinese piece of work, yay me! Met Bryan, Chew and Xunwei for dinner at westmall and went over to Chew's house for world cup! Kenta and Jerm came later on. Played a little texas, watched 'Mongol' with Jerm while the rest were busy wreaking havoc on fb ;P slept at 2 and woke up at 7 for explorally!! Chew took extremely long, so long that we were late and were still at his bus stop when it was 830 D:

Got there, finally, and saw my grouping! I'm the co-head station master along with Calvin, woohoo. We are in charge of doing the briefing/debriefing when the 120 (yes, that many) groups come along! I'm put in the same group as quite a number of ruggers lolol. Trying to class me as someone buff eh, its not working! My group consists of Gideon, Zhende, Calvin, Mark, Jiehui, Sean and Sam Toh. All ac people so we got along real well hahaha, we had real fun, though it was very very tiring. I think we'll definitely do up our station well, come 3rd July. Today was really tiring though, ran up down orchard road like there's no tomorrow for the dry run. From ion to taka to skate park to istana park pavillion to war memorial (the 4 chopsticks) to fort canning. Fun, yeahh, but REALLY tiring hahahaa. But the ruggers were actually rather nice! hahah, so was Jiehui (:

Went suntec for the last hour of it fair with Xunwei after that. Had to buy a 1 terrabyte harddrive for my bro and a sd card for my dad. So nice I know (: we went over to esplanade for Xunwei to use the 'very nice' toilet there, as Junyong once said, but we couldn't find it hahahaa. I explored around, and found the library Nadine was talking about hahahaa, sadly it was close already. I went up to the roof terrace too, quite a scenic view! (Y)

Okayy, its 12:10, I have Sunday school tomorrow too, should get all the sleep I can get, don't wanna fall sick (: and its week 3 of the holidays tomorrow, about time to start hardcore mugging for midyears? I think so!!

Nights, world!

2010-06-09T16:15:00.005+08:00

Ran 4.4km for hockey today. I'm quite pissed with myself, cause I actually gave up running the last round; it should've been 4.8km. /; But I guess I can take comfort in the fact that I ran that much although morning trainings aren't my type; I can't perform during the morning when I haven't had much to eat, and I get easily drained and feel giddy cause I have no fats to burn ;(( another reason why being thin sucks huh. Hockey was still funn though, learnt how to reverse and stop on the reverse, then we went to the gym too heheh.

I then went to science centre to hand in the volunteer form to be a ... volunteer. While I was waiting, there was this lady working somewhere within science centre with a child, a lost child. A small boy, prolly 3-4 years old? Quite cute, hurhur. Well he was lost, so they made an announcement, and quite funnily, he wasn't in tears, but the moment he saw his father, his mother/aunt and his fellow siblings/cousins/friends, he started crying! AWWWWWWWWWWW! hahahh idk how to properly describe my feeling but, let's just say, I found it quite ... coooool. (;

Well, I've decided, I'll be a CV whore - I'll make time to be one, and hope I manage to be one.

Meanwhile, I have to start on my revision too. And so shall I start it, right nao!

Buhbye!

Davidd

P.S. Mr cough, please say byebye to me toooooo ;(

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
