Mission trip

2006-12-11T18:08:00.000+08:00

Just came back from The Philippines! Home sweet home. And I saw Shu Ming and Swee Min and Adelyn at Macs. It was a very fun time there in the city and the provinces. Thank the Lord for travel mercies and bring us safely back in the midst of all the typhoons and stuff. My sister and I conducted a children’s program at the following places. Iloilo, Bacolod and Manila. It is all the church branches. We stayed in The Philippines from the 2nd to the 10th of December. It was really fun and an experience of a lifetime.

ILOILO, Catubig

On the second of dec it was mainly traveling from plane to plane and from plane to van and from van to the mission house in Catubig, one of the provinces in Iloilo. The next day we had the usual Sunday service and later we had the children’s workshop. We weren’t really exactly sure about what was going to happen but it turned out alright, with God on our side. Anyway, most of them were ranged from 1-14 years old. We had a load of fun sharing the word of God. Iza one of the girls my age, remembered me during the last time that I came. The next day we went to SM to buy some craft materials for the kids at the other place. I also bought sushi for Iza as she never tried sushi before. I slept on the top bunk bed with the mosquito net. At first I was a bit paranoid but it was alright later on. I saw Pastor Raphael, Pastor Merly, Sis Berlinda, Sis Elizabeth, Claire Angela and her brother Jnr. Raphael. It was a great time of fellowship and prayer. The next day we headed to the port to take a ferry to Bacolod. It was very rocky trip and they actually showed a movie about a shipwreck. I really wanted to vomit.

BACOLOD, Binabagan

Anyway, we arrived on dry land safely by the grace of God. We went to take a taxi to the province. We saw Pastor Emmanuel, Pastor Lynn and her adorable daughter Ester Grace. We had the children’s program at night after the children had finish their school for two nights. It was really enjoyable. They really loved singing and glorifying His name. I learned a new song in their dialect. We really learnt a lot from them as they did from us. At the end of the two days, we gave them their prizes and we started to talk to them and they mistook us for Japanese people. They kept on saying thank you in Japanese. It was funny. One of the boys the same age as me said that my sister was very beautiful and she was flattered. And it was very funny cultures cross. After we had dinner, the children did not want to leave and stayed on. We taught them other bible songs and the next day we left, with sad good byes and hugs. The returning trip to iloilo was much better. They did not show any shipwreck.

ILOILO, Catubig

We bought more things at SM and we ate Jolliee Bee. And I bought the new Jesse McCartney CD for a very cheep price. Anyway, we also bought some pasalubong and prezzies for my sisters. We had caroling the next day and we went to twenty houses in Catubig. And we also went to New Lucena to visit Sis Janet and her children, Joshua and Joy Rebecca. The next day we went to fly back on the domestic plane to Manila.

MANILA, Valenzuela City

We were caught in the Manila traffic and we were late for the program for two hours. Anyway we started the children’s program and I really enjoyed it very much. We had a lunch break and we went to see Pastor Carolina, Pastor Chris, Pastor Marrissa, Sis Vilma, Sis Leona, Sis Leony and little Chrissa Joy. It was a reunion of the best kind. We had our lunch at the house and we went back for the next half of the program. And I found out that some boys were whispering about me. Anyway one punk thirteen years old had the hots for me. Haha, yeah, very weird. Anyway the children were very cute and different from the two other places as they were in the city side and they were wearing sports shoes and other so called hip things. But the message of God was brought across perfectly. After the whole thing, some kids were still waiting for the bus and I found out that Brian was the brother of Angelica and Mariane. And he was making fun of his younger sister and we stopped him and later on she said the obvious, that “ my brother likes you”. Embarrassing. Anyway, I bet his ego couldn’t fit through the door. But it was fun meeting them. We later stayed at Sis Vee’s house and we had a lovely dinner and slept well. The last day we visited her at the hospital and we left for the airport. The ride back home was a great one and we were greeted by my parents and church members.

SINGAPORE, home!Well my sisters are bugging me to eat dinner so I better hurry up. Wow, such a long post. I hope to keep it updated. God Bless.

Sorry for not writing for so long. You know me. Things got in my way and stuff. I have been practically immobile as my whole body from waist down is aching madly. But in a good way, it gives me a valid reason to boss my two younger sisters around. I can’t even sit down without pain. This teaches me a big lesson: Always do proper stretching before running ten laps on Monday and ten laps today, around the neighborhood. Plus I also did some push-ups and sit-ups. I am so proud of myself. I loss a Kg. Yeah the rules starting from the 30th October was:
-run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
-shower in cold water
and the rest I will think it along the way.
Reading multiple books at the same time has been my trait and I really enjoyed it. I read this dim-witted book, which I personally thought was a waste of time compared to the other two books. The next book I am still reading is about a FI a forensic investigator set in the future. Very interesting. It is a series of books but I only found the second and third book in the library, but it is still in progress. The series is called ‘Traces’ and the author is Malcolm Rose. Really cool book. You might want to pick up the book someday and read it. Really cool. It gets me more interested in my dream ambition, to be a forensic scientist. The other book that I just finished was about this guy who became a freshmen and went to high school and his tips of dos and don’ts. This book really draws me into the story and his life. Love the author’s way of writing. The title is ‘Sleeping freshmen never lie’ by David Lubar. He rocks! I wish I could write like him. I think I will read it again. Oh and for all you book so called loves. Here’s a thought. READERS WHO TAKE CARE ABOUT THEIR BOOK EDGES AND BOOK CONDITIONS ARE NOT REALLY DEVOTED BOOK LOVERS. TRUE READERS WOULD MAKE DOGGIE EARS ON THE CORNER OF THEIR BOOKS. Quoted from a famous person. Go figure. Anyway, taking about books, I really have not typed or wrote a single sentence in my book since the end of school. I will try my best. And I will make a list of what books to read during the holidays. I am in the reading mood so please pardon me for my bad writing. Yeah I get it no excuse.
By the way, I started to learn Karate. Here are the things that I have leant. Dachi (3 Stances), Tsuki Wasa (straight punch), Gyaku tsuki (Reverse punch) and Uke Wasa (Downward block). The last one was the best to learn.
Oh and I just want to say this, I think Anastasia and Dimitri are the perfect couple. Dimitri has a great personality. He rocks too.
Today we had this pop music workshop and it was really cool. Yeah, I even got autographs from three of the musicians. Real cool. Too bad I cannot show you, cause my scanner is currently broken. I think it was a good idea to have this workshop. Really enjoyable. I even got to play the thousand-over-dollar bass. Oh, P.S. I am so sorry Jolene! After the workshop, Shereen, some of the boys and I went to Downtown east and ate at burger king and I am going to write one of my story parts like what happened and the behavior of immature boys. And after that we played shoot-ice-at-whoever game. Got sprayed and shot a couple of times by, Naufal and Jordan. Piss them. Anyway, goodie me did not do anything outrageous or childish. Anyway one funny incident reminds me of the ‘Speak Good English’ thing. Someone said if I could be his or her mate. I said yes, duh. But in actual fact it was not ‘mate’ but ‘maid’ appalling? Haha. ‘Mate’ is like ‘friends’ in Australia. Lame joke. But I was a bit embarrassed.
Oh and about my CCA, it was okay except that too much of the coke from BK did not help me project the lower notes of the bass part well so we ended up demoted to tenor. Flux sux. Anyway, I am not too sure if I am going to Sentosa to meet my grandmother and have a chat with her or laze around at home.
Still have not contacted my bass teacher, the word is lazy but it will soon dissolve. I heard quite a bit about self-discipline during the music workshop and I am really trying my best to practice everyday when I have the time. Seriously I think that learning the guitar is much more simpler that learning the piano, in my point of view. But I guess seek His kingdom first and the rest shall be added unto me.
Mission trip, I think I really need to prepare what are the materials and things to bring and teach during the mission. And I have to think of what to get for my dear friend RJ the raccoon for her birthday. Talking about things to buy, my sister asked me to write down a list of things that I would like to have. Well I will give you a peek on what I wrote.
A mountain bike, a skateboard, a pair of sport shoes, a dog which will never happen since my dad is sort of allergic to fur. I settled on what to give my older sister for her birthday. Thank goodness. I could be really mean and say that her birthday prezzie is her Christmas prezzie too or give her a very nice card and suck up to her. Heee, both ways I am saving money. Talking about money, I still have not ask God what His opinion of having spent another 240 bucks on a Chinese tuition class with Marie. I think it would be good but I know it would certainly kill my allowance. That is why there is a need for the phrase: It’s the thought that counts. I’m evil. I should get going by now.
Oh and P.S. my cousin is having his 18th birthday party, what should I get him? He is a very skill guitarist so I might make him a card with steel string strung across? This is getting cheaper and lamer by the day. Saving money here. Help?

Oh Sarah wanted me to do this thing so you can close your eyes and ignore this part.

I like so totally rock! I convinced three people three things that I wish was my life and they really believed it! Haha. This is so fun, don’t worry I told them the truth later. Talked to jenny on the phone for hours today, and I had a real good laugh, hearing her reaction. Hahahaha.
Anyway, this is the start of the holidays and I am saddened of the thought of us, twoFour not being together as a class. I really love you guys! I am really gonna miss everyone. We had the 2/4 2006 concert on the 25th and I was happy that it ended well and everyone was satisfied.
Yesterday we had the sec 3 PTM, which was very tiring for me. But we did have fun doing our duties. I hope Aaron did not get a harsh scolding. My legs are still kinda sore from yesterday’s standing in those shoes.
My book is unfortunately still in progress and I really hope to finish it as soon as possible so that I could hand it out to my friends.
Cleaned up and organized my two younger sisters’ room and I am totally exhausted. At least I did a good thing by throwing all the junk away.Got back my report book and it isn’t exactly what I expected but thank the Lord for helping me. I just hope on the 13th of November, I could get into the class of my choice. Yeah. Really pray hard. Talking about November, I need to shop for a prezzie for my sis and my friends. Which means spending more money and not saving it. Oh well, I think I should be going now. See ya peeps!
p.s. alex pettyfer totally rocks!

Yay!

Sigh, it is so difficult to pry my youngest sister’s finger away from my computer. Finally I have the time to write. Exams are over and I am so going to try to finish writing the book by the end of school. Today we had rehearsals for the EMP concert on the 25th October and it was fun even though I was only playing the tambourines. The two songs that we rehearsed was Start of something new and the famous Carlsberg song, can’t take my eyes off you. Something like that. It was amazing after so short a time, we could put up a great performance after the whole thing. 2/4 EMP students rocks!
Yesterday we also had a great time jamming and rehearsing. I brought my bass to school and after the final exam, we went to jam! We played the same song as the last time and it was okay, just that Nadrah was fasting and she had a sore throat too. But in the end it was fun, fun, fun. Some others came in and joined us in singing Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. The drummer, Naufal enjoyed himself the most as he changed the beat and the tempo of the song from slow to fast and slow again. It was a great time but I still need to improve on my rhythm. After school, Nadrah dared me to play her guitar in the bus and duh, I did it. It was kind of cool, I just wish we were busking and we could earn some money. I seem so money-minded. Anyway after that I went for my Believers music class and it was fun too. I noticed this teacher was more lax and gave us little pressure but my teacher was very fast and efficient. I later took the train down to Kallang to the church office. We had a prayer meeting and I stayed in one room with Tilda and we had fun, waiting for my father to finish the SAP meeting. I had a lot of wine then as I had Holy Communion and had a bowl of pasta with sauce with a lot of wine in it, but it was nice. Anyway, talking about meetings, I AM GOING TO THE PHILIPPINES MISSON TRIP! YAY! I was waiting for this a long time. I think it is on the 2nd of December to the 9th of December. I remembered I went for the Thailand trip and one Philippines trip a few years ago and now another mission to gather the harvest. Yay! I was like literally jumping up and down when my mother told me. I am going there with my sister and we are supposed to teach the younger children in Philippines about Jesus. I am so delighted, like a wish unspoken but granted. Thank you Lord for opening doors for me. Yay! Anyway, today I am going to try to finish reading my library book and start back on writing my book. I hope it will be a hit. I think I also need to catch up on my overseas friend, Jenny. I think I will call her soon. Oh no, my mum is coming back today and I have not bought her a birthday prezzie or made a card. I think I’ll do that first. I better get going my lunch is calling me.
ps. i watched STORMBREAKER and it was soooo coooool i can hardly breathe properly. Andrea lend it to me and i was like so thankful! I watched it the day before yesterday and it totally rocked. I don't care if people say that alex rider is not fit for the role but i think he is perfect doing it. Alex Rider rocks, not forgeting his uncle, Ewan Mcgregor!

Passed!

Okay, I admit. I’m lazy to update. Had a vow of silence in class and I did it for a while until break time. I could not stand it any longer, I needed to talk. Rui Jun’s advice for me was to talk less so that I might not hurt anyone’s feelings in any way or another. And as you can see I took it quite seriously. Anyway, today we had our science mock test which I think I will do very badly because I am not prepare enough. History was a bore and we had a mini mock test too. I did okay for it, I guess. I gave Aaron my science textbook, boys are so forgetful and always misplace things, and girls are so much more capable. English was okay and it was during this period that I found out that are two boys who are gays! But the most wonderful thing that happened was that I PASSED my Chinese paper 1. Yay me!!! Now I just need to do well for paper 2. Math was alright, as we got back our math mock test. I did not fail, which was a great relief. Thanks to my one and only Savior.
Here are some of the main events that happened during the week before.
I had a great bass class which rocked!
I watched two rented movies, Rush Hour and The Perfect Score. Rush Hour was so funny that I almost laughed my head off. And the Perfect Score was rally a nice story. I so totally like Francesca Curtis hairdo. And I wish I could too, be like them stealing the SAT answers. The show ruled!
I went with some of my friends to the airport to study. It was okay at first but it ended quite sour. But anyway what’s done is done. And I got a comic book based on the novel and movie, Stormbreaker. It rocked! And the illustrations were kinda cool. I really want to be the first in line to watch the upcoming movie.
I better get going. I’m starting this new Believers music class where I get to learn how to play musical instruments by the spirit. Cool huh? Yay. And the cool thing is that the place is right in front of my mother’s bank building in Anson Road.
Oh and my sister found foxtrot comic series and I so totally wanna read it later. See ya.

Teachers

2006-09-26T18:22:00.000+08:00

Exams! The pressure is on!
Today was a fairly okay day, I guess. We had our HE practical and my dish was Japanese chicken curry, which tasted okay. I did not make it that big or fancy. After that, we had science, which we did the copying of notes again. Mr Ong said during one of the days that copying from the projector was a bad teaching method. Our science teacher objected and I too felt that his comment was redundant. And it offends people too. He should not say any remarks on people’s teaching methods. Talking about teachers, I saw Mrs Tan and she talked to me. I was delighted that she came back and to see her warm smiling made my day. But my English teacher was in fits and in a real rotten mood. She scolded many of us and punished Jeslyn. I was personally angry at her as she singled Jeslyn out, who did not do anything wrong. She should not let out her anger at us. She has the right to be a bit angry at our results for the test, which I did badly, but other than that, she should not pick on somebody. I think maybe she came from another class, which angered her. Who knows? Anyway, LMM did not come!!!! I was so happy and I jumped around the class, giving hi-fives to my friends. This was the first time in a millennium that she did not teach us. I was delighted and I sat down to finish my math and read a book. Mrs Koh, yesterday was a bit annoyed at the class, hmm, is this The Attack Of The Teachers?
Enough about teachers, last Saturday: A horror.
During last Saturday, we went to the jamming center in the morning and we practiced for a while and we headed down to the audition place. We were supposed to head down to Far East Square but we ended up in Far East Plaza. I fumigated. What is with, with men asking for directions? We wasted our precious time going back and forth and finally reached the place. By the time we got there, it was our turn and I was soooo unprepared. I was very much nervous and I didn’t even play my bass. Arghhh! I don’t think I can face my bass teacher ever again. (He was one of the judges.) It was the most humiliating thing that has happened. And to think it was the best. It was totally not worth it. I ask God for forgiveness and he gave it to me. I was sooo thankful. This reminds me of the song: Better than life. At least I got free earplugs and a free water bottle. Today we also did the CCA endorsement form thingy and after that I waited for my friend. I fell asleep while waiting for her and when I opened my eyes, it was all a blur. I thought I was temporarily blind! Anyway can back home and ate sushi!! Yum.
I helped my sister with her homework and she deliberately wanted me to do some of her art work…pesky little sisters, with their sly eyes looking at me. I was a bit upset and asked her to do it by herself. Young children now these days…
Exams are coming up this week and I got a whole list of things to do and I still have not started my revision! And I still need to practice my bass for the next lesson on Thursday. Sigh. But today I’m going to the prayer meeting. Yipee. Okay, I think I better get going. My sister I bugging me.
P.S. so sorry for not updating.
God Bless!

crying

2006-09-19T20:28:00.000+08:00

I am sooo sorry I did not update.
Good things that happened today:
1) I got free bubble gum
2) Razzan promised to give me a stick of chewing gum tomorrow
3) We get to postpone our HE folio deadline to Friday
4) I got to learn how to sing a song taught by the expert
5) We took the final photo
6) Jenny, my penpal, great friend, replied my mail
7) I knelt at the feet of The Most High
8) It’s a new day!
Not so good things that happened today:
1) I still had to listen to LMM talk
2) I had to do a Chinese letter writing
3) I did really badly for my English oral
4) I almost wanted to cry
5) I am still worried about my art
6) I did not do well for my summary test
Today I went to fish’s house and we took the photos. It turned out okay. His room was like a junkyard. Full of interesting junk, and loads of food. My favourite. We went back to school and my friend taught me a song and I dedicated a song to all the sec 4 for their O levels.

I pestered Ms Zaidah to tell me my marks and she did. I am so sad. I could have gotten higher but I did not. She also said that she expected more from me. Friends comforted me and I wanted to cry even more but I did not. I am the tough guy remember?

Yeah, the list is something like that. Oh man, I am crying already…listening to the song, From the Inside out. Anyway, ANNOUNCEMENT! BIBLE STUDY IS TOMMORROW, PLEASE BRING YOUR BIBLES! God is my answer to all worries. I am so glad to have a loving and caring God. The anointing is so strong…

I better get to my work and discuss the worship songs. See whoever at bible study at 3.30pm. God bless.

cram

2006-09-10T17:20:00.000+08:00

Hmm, where do I start?
WED
We had Bible study at my house from 10.30 to 11.30. It went well. Afterwards I went on a bizarre state as I rushed through all my unfinished homework and I managed to finish everything, except chinese and home economics. Anyway, later my sister gave me some tips about English oral and stuff, which was quite helpful.
THU
We had our music project at my house and we did 30% of planning and 70% of slacking. Three of us were there and we planned out what we are going to do for the poster. My friend introduced me to a Korean drama show called ‘fullhouse’ and she told me that the story’s main outline. It did not really interest me but the main actor really looked like her brother. Weird.
FRI
I had a sore throat and a bit of flu, which was getting worst and worst…
I had choir and I just sat down there and copied Anna’s Chinese homework. Guilty. And the choir instructor did not mind.
Later I was told to meet at Simei MRT. I went around and found my classmate and we waited for some time for the others to come. We went to some deserted building and we booked a room at the jamming centre for 15 bucks. I was quite an experience and I was appointed to sing. Ugh, I really stretched my throat. It was kind of weird as… I don’t know it was a weird feeling. Anyway, I tried my bass part but it did not go too well. Anyway, we spent an hour there and we went out. Then we met Shuming, Amanda and Annabel. I was glad to see them and I stayed for a while, while they discussed some things and after that I went home. And I got a letter from the Riverlife church wanting me to come for their next service. I think the next time I will try to go.
I went again to the church office and we had a good prayer meeting followed by my aunt’s birthday. We had a small durian cake, which tasted really good, baked by one of our church members. Then I helped my dad to assemble the shoe cupboard with my sister. Later we went out for distribution and I was really reminded on how God had given me the gift of love to the people and he had softened my heart during the last few distribution nights. I am really thankful.
SAT
I stayed at home desperately trying to stay focused on studying for my science test. I called the genius and he clarified some things to me. I ended up more confused than ever. Anyway, later I called my overseas friend Jenny and we had a good time talking, although we were cut off. I getting a feeling I do not want to use the World Card anymore. It allows only a talktime of 20 mins! Wasting my money. Anyway, she is doing well as a ninth grader and getting used to school again. Yup, school again for me and her.
Later I watched a couple of TSL of Zack and Cody episodes and had a good laugh. Yeah, distracted again. Later I finished up my science notes and went to sleep. I wanted to catch the I Am Sam show again but I was too tired. I really loved that show. It was the only show, other than The Passion, that I cried. I am always the tough skinned when it comes to crying in shows except this one. I watched it another time when I rented the show, a few years back. I was really touched. I think I would put it as my favourite movie too. Hehehe. Too bad I missed it.
SUN
I woke up early and made my sister a crown for her props for the children’s presentation. Today we celebrated the OATH 10th anniversary. I hopped on the MRT and headed down to the church early, as it was my duty for setup. The decoration was being put up and I helped do the usual stuff, wiring the mics and monitors. We had a wonderful worship and a great presentation and events. It was a blast. The Lord’s presence was strong man! My sisters and I also presented an item. I could not sing that well, because of my sore throat, but I did my best for the Lord. Before the service ended, my sore throat was completely healed! Thanks to the Lord for answering my prayers. The lunch was good and after that I stuck around taking care of the children. Later we went back home. Yup, I have not studied for my History test. I think I am not going to sleep that much, time for me to cram my work.Sigh, the holidays have ended so fast and I did not even have a day to relax properly. And the worst thing of all is that I have not even written a single page for my story. And I doubt I can finish it time. And he said that the competition is on the 23rd of this month and we really need to practice. Also our exams are coming up fast and it time for me to cram and study real hard. And the practical exam for my Home Ec is coming and I only did one practice run. Plus I have also a due art pieces that I have not done. I think I will never get through without the Lord’s help. Okay I better get going, dinner is calling me!
P.S. Chelsea won!!! against Charlton 2-1! yeah! Go Chelsea!

2006-09-04T13:33:00.000+08:00

It has been a while since I wrote. Yeah, pretty much of laziness and busyness mixed together. Anyway, on Friday I did not do anything but go for my bass class, which rocked and watch Pocahontas. See now I can spell it correctly! On Saturday, I went out with ten other councillors and we when for a seminar at Siglap Secondary. I would have to admit, their school has uphold their name as an art school. It is really beautiful. Every wall there is something fabulous hanging on the wall. And glass cabinets were everywhere, showing off the students beautiful art pieces. Anyway, the seminar was about Volunteerism and the worst thing was that it was boring. Very boring, trust me. I was fidgeting every now an then at my seat. We almost wanted to quietly sneak out of the place. But out came the food, which was very nice and yummy. I can still taste the food now. After that we had a big sort of argument on whether to go or not. In the end, we stayed on. I surprisingly got a prize for my quiz that I did and it was a 77th street $10 voucher and a book to go with it. I do not really go shoping so I do not really know what is good for me to buy there. Anyway, the second half of the talk was much lighter than before. We even got to meet Edmund Twohill, Paul Twohill’s older brother. He was much much more civilized than his brother, I could say. There was a competition on who would get the two tickets to the Singapore Idol event. So we had a competition, if anyone who can say something about volunteerism for a whole minute. I actually wanted to volunteer, as the subject was somewhat similar to the speech I gave the last time. In the end I chickened out, plus the people up on stage were all boys. Another thing that bothered me was that a sec 1 councillor girl, I could not recall her name, she saw my name tag and said that she has always thought I was a sec one. And I replied her in the most sarcastic voice: Now you know. I was so angered by this. Maybe my ego had been crushed. So what if I am short, yeah, she is tall but so what. I have been sticking around her at visible distance and she still does not know that I am at least a higher ranking than her, well so to speak. I mean like come on! Ignorant people now these days. Sigh. There is nothing I can do. Did I mention that I am a shadow in the crowd and in the council board? Either way, it is bad enough.
Sunday was cool, we had usual morning service which rocked and everything else. My sister did not feel up to it to go to the evening service, so I sticked with her. Later my sister and my mother went out to borrow a few DVDs and we had a movie marathon. We watched Mrs. Doubtfire which was my childhood favourite. Anyway, we had a great time watching it. I could relate to the children sometimes. Speaking of the children Matthew Lawrence was cool! Anyway later we watched Bean, The Ultimate Disaster Movie. It was very funny and you could tell that Mr. Bean is actually quite smart inside. My sister commented that Rowan Atkinson face is very stretchy and thus can do many face expressions. I think he is very talented.
Today I went to school for choir. We did two songs, one was the Musica Dei and another was an American folk song, I can’t remember the title now. It was really fun as the altos get the main melody now. Hehehe. Now back to real business, homework. I intend to finish some assignment and choose what kind of dish I want to cook for Home Economics class. And I want to do a good job. Do not worry, I’ll write when I am free. Which might not be that possible, I think.

For the last few days, it was really packed! On Tuesday we had the food distribution thing and we stayed up late as usual. I made chicken on a stick thing, what do you call that? Anyway, Later I had Moy Moy remedial. Ugh! It could not get worse. After that I skipped choir to help out with the preparations for the Teachers’ Day celebrations, well not so much about the celebrations but the presentation. And sadly we still have school per normal. I still do not have the patience to do any more teachers’ day cards anymore as I am so sick of seeing cards and making them.

Today we had the usual boring stuff and later we had a dry run and a briefing on what to do tomorrow. I was allocated Mrs June Henry and we were supposed to give our allocated teacher their pouches full of notes and teachers day cards. Yup, I have seen too much teachers day cards in a lifetime. I was really upset when I was not able to share at today’s bible study group thing. I really wanted to attend it. Anyway, I think we will be having the bible study thing next Wednesday at my house, hopefully. The game thingy was not really a success but in the end everything worked out well. Thank You Lord. I talked to Aaron about the Bible study thing, and he was cool with it. He even wanted to preach! Yay, another person!

Anyway, I watched the presentation for the teachers and it was great some of the teachers even dressed up as Padme Amidala and another, a Jedi with Darth Maul’s lightsaber. Another posed with the lightsaber making the thing look like a blaster, ugh, they do not even know the difference??? I am not bragging but I could do a better job. Heheh.

Came back from school and went to tuition. I could barely concentrate. Anyway, when my sister and I went home, we were totally hooked up on the computer watching videos. And no surprise, I still have not finish my homework! I help out with my younger sister’s project which was making a rocket and I practically did everything. Hehehe. We had a brief period of fireworks and it was so cool although it was not as nice as the national day. I think it was the function of the WOMAD event. I glad I have a great and blessed house, we can almost see everything, really.

I have recently been to different libraries and I am currently reading four books at one time. Really nice books. A book that I picked up was somewhat like my story and I want to get some ideas from there and the style of writing. Really good. I am still reading the bible, which is a thing that I want to be disciplined about. I’m glad God is there for me.

My naughty older sister sent my photo to my penpal, Jenny and I was like WHAT DID YOU DO??? I looked so ridiculous in photos. She wrote back to me and said she wanted to see me with my hair let down. NO way.

I now have the eating habit coming back to my hungry stomach and I. I better control myself. Next week will be a new week, I guarantee you that. Loads of homework piling up now, I will try my best to finish it in time. My bass lesson changed from Thursday to Friday, which gives me more time to practice my bass guitar, which I have not picked up in days! And I have a new interest…on a certain boy name Cody. Figure it out!
Well I hope tomorrow’s thing will go smoothly as planned. I also want to pray for some individuals and write to my friend.

prayer

2006-08-26T20:21:00.000+08:00

Thank your Lord for answering my prayers! God is indeed moving in my life and everyone.

Yesterday and today’s follow up was good. Some of the councillors stayed back yesterday and this morning to help out in the Teacher’s day preparations. We did a lot of handy-craft and decorated a lot of cards. There was also an ant attack today. They wanted to join our little party at the councillors’ room. We had lots of fun. We even helped out in carrying the CIO instruments into the CIO room. Work out a bit. On the whole it was really enjoyable.

I had lunch with Sabrina at Macs and latter I went to the library and borrowed some books. All the while I was lead by the spirit to pray for Sabrina’s salvation. She came back and she surprised me by helping me pay my library fines. I was so thankful! Then after that I changed into my other clothes and went with Sabrina, Benjamin and Susan from 2/7 to Benjamin’s church. Riverlife was such a nice and friendly congregation. I even saw Nicholas David Sebastian and Amanda Teo’s brother! I could feel the presence of the Lord everywhere. This is the point I became hyper. The praise and worship was great. Later their Youth Pastor talked about friendship. I really was lead by the spirit to pray for Sabrina again. And at the last part when the pastor asked the people to say the sinner’s prayer, Sabrina said it out loud and I hugged her. Susan also received Christ. I gave her a pat on the back. It was a time of rejoicing later on as I know my father in heaven was also rejoicing for them. The service ended with me feeling that I wanted to stay on but I had to go back home. Susan and Benjamin stayed. I was still so hyper that I was jumping all the way out of the church!
Back at home again, I praised the Lord in the shower and jumped for his name. Hehe, I could not get enough of him. God spoke to me and gave me these lines of a song:
So blessed I can’t contain it.
So much I gotta give it away
He said that I am so blessed that now I am giving away my blessings to people. I was so touched by the Lord. I will never forget that. I promised to give Sabrina the extra bible that I have to her and she was like delighted. I am so happy God is moving in her life and the lives of many. You can see how the power of prayer can work in everybody’s life.
Okay, I better stop writing. I really need to catch up on my homework which are crying out to me to finish them or else… But first I want to watch some more episodes of The suite life of Zack and Cody. Yeah man!

Hyper

2006-08-24T20:37:00.000+08:00

I am going crazy and hyper!!!!!!!! Hey guys, did you know I am multitasking? I am saying that I was praising God with everything I have got! Using my bass for the verses and the chorus with my guitar and then at the bridge I hit my drumsticks while singing all the way and shouting God’s fame! I was playing the song Shout Your Fame, by Hillsongs London. Yeah man!
JESUS I DECIDE TO LIVE A LIFE THAT SHOUTS YOUR FAME!
I am too hype to write. Later!

Hey! We ate dinner and my sisters and I started to jump for the Lord as we praised Him while we were eating and now I got a tummy ache. Anyway, Thank You Lord for my food.

We have made a decision to still have the bible study group. And the best thing that we did not need to ask people to come to our bible study, they just flow in like His blessings. More people are turning to God and I am just delighted that the Lord has set in their minds to come and receive the bread of Life. I have also talked to one of the members who had a situation of temptation. God is always there with her. And I can feel it in her bones that God is strengthening her every minute she breathes. I prayed for her and gave her a few verses from the bible and she understood. I was talking to my mother this morning at 12 am and we searched through the bible for these verses and watched a bible study video on the book of Job. A midnight mini bible study session, that’s what I would call it.

Today I got the inspiration for my art piece. The Glory of the Lord. Yup. And we had the most number of hours having science lesson in one whole day. Yeah, it was quite tiring especially for my hand. Write. Write. Write.
During our recess break, Aaron was bold enough to punch my back and I did it him too. Good for him. Hehehe. After that we had math class and I had remedial. I was a bit stressed and stuff and so you know the rest. I had to cancel my bass lesson for another whole week! Anyway, I was totally late if I had gone. Good thing I made a call.

Anyway, I came back and practiced my bass, wrote a few pages of my book and the hype thing came. Now I am stable enough. Hehe.
Thinking about the funny situation that happed today. Dominic started to spread some stupid stuff concerning me and I was a bit mad at him. Jokingly. And when I was going up to class many people looked and me and started to whisper. And one guy was bold enough to point at me to his friend and they were laughing away. Aghh. Anyway, that will pass, hopefully. Sigh, Chelsea loss again. So sad Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough by 2-1. So sad. And to make things worst, my friends started to provoke me. So sad. Anyway, it is not the end of the world. You can do it Chelsea! Go on and beat Blackburn!

Memory verse:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Mark 12: 30
( I think so…it may have the next verse too)Anyway, my hope is in the Lord and His word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Have a blessed day!

speechless

2006-08-23T22:53:00.000+08:00

On Monday I spent the whole day after school painting my Art pieces that were due the following day.

Yesterday I went for the prayer meeting and the food distribution. We brought jellies to give to the people and they were glad. We came back at the usual 1 am timing.
But before that, I had my CCA. We met our new choir instructor who was not as high level as Ms Lai as you might say. I think she was alright. We sang a new song called Moo-See-Car Day-ee (Musical Dei). It was a good song, i guess.

Did my presentation today. I was kind of nervous but I tried to do it well. Adelyn did a very good job…congrats! Anyway after school, I skipped the Bible Study to go and meet Jordan’s Cell Leader and discuss about it. I was given a different point of view from people. I do not really know what is going to happen but I really hope that the Lord will provide all our needs. Thanks to Jessica I was able to get out of the school. I know that she will do a good job. Anyway, the discussion ended quite late with a solemn note. I just have no words to say. No words. It is indescribable. I really need to have some time before I explain. Oh Lord, deliver me from my wicked ways.

Rockin

2006-08-19T21:49:00.000+08:00

Rockin day today! I woke up early this morning to finish up the banner, which was for the ITMAP competition. RJ came to my house and we both went to the T-shirt shop again and I changed to my class T-shirt as Jeremy has taken mine. Humph! Anyway, the owner of the shop also gave us a free label sticker, which has a print of Happy Teachers’ Day. She was very kind to us. We took the bus back to White Sands and we had our breakfast at Mac. We went together as a group to Dovan MRT station. I did some writing on the MRT. We arrived at Singapore Polytechnic Auditorium. It was really cool as all we watched all the performances from Primary to Secondary Category. There were some groups that were outstandingly good. Ours were one of them too. Then we had a intermission, which I took two big heaps of beehoon and a punch fruit juice. It was really good. And it is free! Afterward the voting session began. Even though I did not have a handphone, I still supported and cheered the group on. There was also a show caseof special instrument with weird sounds but cool. They made music to my ears and it really sounded good. In the end, they got the first runner up! I was really very happy for them. Even though they screwed up a bit, they did their best. Rock On Toys N Her!
Later we took some class photos and went to the Padang as someone needed company. After that I went with one of my friends to the Esplanade library, where I found out I lost my 50 bucks! I was frantic. Anyway we went back to White Sands and had Mac for dinner. Solomon came to join in and disgusted my friend and I, by eating BBQ flavoured maggots! I had the most shocking thing of my life. It gives me the creeps..,But he is a fish, fish eat worm you know.
Now my leggs are killing me to the core. And I really need to sleep for tomorrow.CYA

Overwhelming.

2006-08-17T20:54:00.000+08:00

Today was a day of trials and tribulations. We had four free periods of pure boredom. Well not really. During Art lesson, I did not really feel like doing anything. I just sat there reading the book. I was so engrossed with the book that I almost felt as it was the End times, when the Rapture begins. I never want to be left behind.

Science was okay; we went through our most recent test, which God has blessed me with a good grade. Later we had two periods of free time and I got a message from one of my friends. I also wrote to my assigned partner and encouraged her. Later I read my bible with Shuming and we had a pleasant time until one of my close friends started crying. I knew it was because of me but she denied it, which I totally did not believe her. My Jedi senses were tingling all over. She then talked to one of her close friend and she later told me the whole story. I listened and suddenly I began to speak in tongues so violently that I had to go away. The touch of the Lord was so strong I couldn’t help but cry. I ran to the upstairs toilet went into one cubical and continued to be in the spirit. I could not control myself. I sang a song to the Lord and He calmed me down. I went back to class and still continued to speak in tongues silently. There was just this awesome presence of the Lord during that whole math lesson. A prayer partner also prayed for me in class. Really solid. Just indescribable feeling. I will never be the same again.
Here is a beautiful song written to glorify His name:

D G A D
I will never be the same again
G A
I can never return
G D A
I’ve closed the door
D G
I will walk the path
A D
I’ll run the race
Bm A G A D
And I will never be the same again

C G A D
Fall like fire soak like rain
C Em
Flow like mighty waters
A D
Again and again.
F G
Sweep away the darkness
Em A
Burn away the chaff
G Bm
And let a flame burn
G A
To glorify Your name

There are higher heights
There are deeper seas
Whatever you need to do Lord
Lord do it in me
The glory of God fills my life
And I will never be the same again

I think I want to play this song on my guitar the next session. No matter what others say, it does not have any effect on me. Because I want to live for my King only.

Later I had my bass lessons, which totally rocked! I played a very groovy tune while my teacher played his drums. It was so nice. Thank the Lord for teaching me and guiding me for the whole lesson. I learned real quickly. Later I learned the song from Greenday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams song. It was such an easy song that I could close my eyes while playing my bass. And I mastered it pretty well in less than five minutes. Anyway, it was a great lesson. Talking about music, I have not done a single thing with the banner yet, for the ITMAP competition. I really want to do a good job. I will do it tomorrow, I hope. Speaking about tomorrow, I have Chinese remedial! Oh no, bad situation to be in. Anyway, I want to Thank the Lord for blessing me. Even the trials that I face, His light will always be there shining through.
God bless

Thank You

2006-08-17T02:08:00.000+08:00

Thank you Lord for everything.
Thank You for all the ten Bibles.
Thank You for the first session.
Thank You for reaching out to the people.
Thank You for telling us to help these people out in the streets.
Thank You so much.
Yesterday I had a very good prayer meeting at the Prayer Chapel. We also helped cooked some food for distribution. We had Holy Communion and later had supper there. I came back home about 12am.
Today I had a very good experience. We started with our very first session of the Bible study group thing. It was very fun and we could feel the presence on all of us. There were 21 of us! Thanks to the Lord, other people from other classes came. I did not stop them from coming, as I knew that we should not stop them from coming to God. We started off with Jordan opening a prayer. Then we had a bit of praise and later we had the reading of the word of God. I was nervous at first but I asked the Lord to come in and help because if I did it by myself, I would be doing it in vain. Then we had a closing prayer by Dominic. Then Shuming handled the rest of the things. They were of great support. Others helped out too. I just want to thank the Lord for all He has done and provided. After that I ripped of the Hillsongs London CD from Shuming. Hehe. Which I am listening to now. Thank you everyone for joining us. I really felt like I was at the right place I was made for. I really felt like home during the meeting. I love God.
There were some feedbacks from some people that it was offending them for one reason or another. I felt a bit hurt but I know God will give us a place in his time. But for now, we shall still do it for God.
Anyway, later I went for tuition and later I went with my mom and sister, and went over to the prayer chapel again. We prayed and had Holy Communion. I think I was a bit hyper after the drinking of wine. Ehehe. We got ready for the food distribution again and we went out to the streets. It was my first time out and I was so afraid of the surroundings where I was. I asked the Lord to take away all the fear and replace it with strength and He did. We went to the narrow lanes and distributed food. I have never seen such a scene and it distressed me a lot. But the group of us was praying in tongues all the way. Breaking the spirits of evil. Later when we have finished, one of the church members blew the shofar while we were driving pass the streets. These places need salvation and we are doing what the Lord has planned. Later we went to a 24-hour tim sum shop and ate supper. Later we went to have a durian, which was not that good but thank the Lord. After that we went back home at 1am. I am really grateful that I have such a privileged life and I should use it to do works that last for eternity.
I am currently reading this book which is a series starting from the first book Left Behind, which I am reading now. It talks about the Rapture and the Endtimes, prophetically. I hope I will get a better understanding about the endtimes. God is coming!
I am a bit high so do not mind me. I have written 4 pages already a few days back. Anyway, I have not touched my bass guitar for like more than a week and I really need to practice tomorrow or a book will be flying at me. Not literally. Don’t worry. Tired, tired. I better get some goodie byes. God bless!

Concentrate focus

2006-08-12T22:22:00.000+08:00

Sneaking time to write. Today was a relaxed day; I did not do much except my music theory book and update my schedule. I did manage to write some more pages on my story. I have also giving the information for my illustrator, Alyah, to draw the main characters. I am really hoping to do this story well and exciting enough.
I cancelled bass lessons on Thursday, as there were some family matters to solve. Plus the fact that I have not touched my bass since. Oh dear, I think I really need to pick it up and strengthen my fingers again.
My mother gave me an advertisement about courses on playing musical instruments, for worship. I was quite interested but I did not have the time to look it up. I think I will do it sometime next week.
I can’t wait for the ITMAP competition. Go Mr Leung! Go all the rest of the group! I am most probably making a big or small banner to cheer them on. But before the competition, I think I will head down to the IT Designs shop with Alyah to pick up the remaining class tees. Talking about the class, we need to pan how are we going together to the competition place. We also need to discuss as a class what to do for the assembly concert and how are we going to rehearse. I talked to Alyah a while ago, and we sort of sorted things out. Yup, loads of things to do.
I did not have the will to actually do my history notes or study for my science test. I simply cannot sit still in front of a history textbook and study. The reasons are infinite. Anyway, I really need to study right NOW so I better shut down the computer and really concentrate hard. See ya.

Majulah Singapura

2006-08-09T22:10:00.000+08:00

Happy national day to all! Today I had tuition in the morning and later wrote more pages of my book. I lazed around pretty much, did nothing but slacked. Jenny called me and we talked and talked. It was so fun. Later I went with my sister to my grandparents’ house to watch the NDP on their flat-screen TV, well sort of. Anyway the NDP was alright. It was not that fabulous but good enough for me. The current NAtional Day song was not really catchy so it was kind of uhhhh....The fireworks were very nice and a real treat for all Singaporeans. So sad this would be the last time having the stadium. After that we watched half of the Singapore Idol show and went home. We were just in time to see the last contestant sing, which was Paul Twohill. His singing was frankly speaking, horrible and it was out of tune man! Even I, who am practically tone-deaf, could also tell that he was singing out of tune. It embarrassed me, being a Singaporean. I made two necklaces for my two younger sisters and they loved it. Now I feel a bit tired after all the excitement and I think I would be sleeping at the count of ten. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9….

A Blast

2006-08-08T22:08:00.000+08:00

My overseas friend replied! Yipee! I have just finished writing a lengthy essay to her. Anyway, today was a blast! We had the usual singing of the National anthem and the long message from some minister. You can tell I was not listening at that time. After that, we sang some national day songs. We later headed to the hall for our school’s IDOL contest. The contestants were really good. I personally liked Hanani. Her style was very nice and enjoyable. It really caught the audience attention and mesmerized the crowd and especially My Leung. Hehe. He was a great Judge along with the other teachers. In the end after the performances, Hanani won, my Jedi skills are getting better every moment. Haha. Speaking of Star Wars, I am halfway done with the book and has just mesured my padawan braid which is amazingly 16cm! Yeah! Anyway, I was given an award and it came as a shock a bit. I mean there were much better people in our class, why choose me? Anyway, after going back home, I got ready to go to the IT Fashion place for the order of more class T-shirts and some other things. I went with my friend. Later we went to buy the fabric paint and when we have reached Spotlight, I became crazy and seeing something and started putting stuff into my basket. I really love craft stuff, especially when it is from Spotlight or Art Friend. Yeah man! I the even the total price was $44.70! It really had my name written on it. Yep. After that we went back home. It was pretty fun and I am done with the correction of the errors on the T-shirt, although it was not really the right colour anyhow.
When I reached home, I joined my sister with the laughters of watching the MTV parody of different movies. I really laughed hard. The most disgusting one was the Lord of the Rings. Disgusting.Tomorrow is National Day…I hope we would do something as a family tomorrow. Like catch a movie or go to Borders a buy some books! Yeah, I am dreaming. I think I better clean up my room before my mom comes home and practice my bass guitar and also write some pages of my book. I better get going.

Crazy bassist

2006-08-07T22:17:00.000+08:00

Bass Madness! I came back home and after I showered, I played my bass for like four hours, stopping only to eat dinner. My legs are really numb from the air-conditioner. Anyway, I really want to train hard for my bass, strengthening my fingers and stuff. Well, I am quite happy, now that when I play the bass for more than 15 minutes, my hand does not hurt at all! Yipee! It is great to see that I am progressing a little. Anyway, I want to make it a point that everyday I am able to pick up my bass and do a little exercise, like I always do with my guitar. I played some songs like Dance Dance, Since you’ve been Gone and Trading my Sorrows! I really love the song Trading my Sorrows, for the Joy of the Lord!
We were given back our science common test paper, which I did badly. Sigh, I knew I could do better. Anyway, history was a bit of a bore to me and English was Yawn! Yawn! I was placed outside of the class during Chinese period as I did not take the test, which I was absent. Darn, why can’t I escape from Chinese tests? It was really easy for me as I did the minimineniminimo game with the cloze passage and for the open-ended passage and I just lifted a chuck of the story for the answer. Anyway, the outside air is much cooler than the air inside the classroom. So I stayed there until the bell rang. During the time I was questioned by many people even our Principal. What fun! Math class was fair.
After school, we had the High School Musical Rehearsal thing which only ten pathetic people came. But it was better than nothing. And my dearest boss ditched me! Nooo! We managed to finish the whole song and ripping off songs from each other using my computer. We finished practice at 5.30pm, which is quite reasonable.
Yup, that’s about it. My sore throat is healing pretty fast. Anyway, we have decided on having the bible study thingy on every Wednesday after school. I received the results of how many that needed bibles, the latest count was 7. Shuming wanted to donate money for buying the bibles. I am very glad to even be her friend, she really has a heart for God and His people.
Carried on reading the Dark Nest Two. Very enjoyable and interesting. Simple plot but cool. It is definitely cool because it is Star Wars. My novel is currently stgnant and really want to finsh it up.
Tomorrow is National Day eve. Yes! We are going to have a half day of school and then I will head down to the T-shirt making place again to give more orders plus I need to buy fabric paint to help correct the errors on the T-shirts. So tomorrow I will most likely head down the Spotlight to buy some tubes. Majulah Singapura! Is it the correct spelling?

excited

2006-08-05T19:22:00.000+08:00

Dead tired. It’s been a long time since I have written. A really rough week. Anyway, we received our class T-shirt yesterday. It turned out okay except for a few printing errors. It became a big deal and we decided on buying fabric paint and correcting the errors. Good idea I would say.
I cried the other day, I tried to hold back my tears but it was uncontrollable. The Math common test was very difficult for me and I simply could not take it. Very embarrassing. Later I had a bad headache and the following day, I was sick and did not come to school for one day as I had a bad strep throat, headache, fever and other things but the best thing was for me not to take my Chinese test. Yeah man! But I had more homework. I stayed at home for that day and finished up the history project. I went to school with my home clothes and brought the project with me. I would say it was a good effort for a sick girl. I sometimes must have self-praise…hehe just kidding. And I was appreciated. The next day I reluctantly went to school and we had our music project with me clicking. I did not think the presentation was done well; maybe I have very high expectations…
The Learning festival in our school is a very good idea that every school should inculcate it. Although I have not been to all the stalls set up, it created a lot of buzz in the school. Yesterday I performed with another classmate the song ‘more than words’. It was a disaster frankly speaking. Anyway, it is over. I really need a lot of catching up to do with my work. Plus Monday we have a test and I really want to push to my limits to score well for this test.
My sister found the new series of Star Wars non-canon and it was the Dark Nest series. We were so hyper when she found it and we went to Wookiepedia and to up our knowledge. And I was very surprised, as I knew Jacen was the nice guy but now he is total evil guy. Not that he turned to the dark side but he did a lot of bad things to save himself. He even memory wiped Ben Skywalker! And he killed someone to prevent the truth. Oh, I really do not like him. Jacen! How could you?! I am currently reading it now and it is much easier than the Yuuzhan Vong series and I can get the story line. I hope this series would be much happier than the previous one.
Thank God for my healing and restoration. Today my mother and I went for a short walk to the park and back. She asked me about OBD and what happened. Then we moved on to the issue about the Bible study group thing. She is willing to sponsor bibles for those who do not have any and we discussed about what topics to minister to them. She gave me the rough idea what to share. And I am really excited. I better discuss with my friends next week.I better catch up with my work as I slept for 4 hours just now. Hehe, do not blame this innocent one…

pencilbox

2006-07-30T18:07:00.000+08:00

Finally. Yesterday I had a great time at the OBD event. The presence of the Lord was present in the youths. First we had a long line up to the sanctuary then we had praise and worship then we had a short skit and later we had a preaching by one of the pastors. After that we introduced Jesus to our friends and later we had praise and worship again with a little prize giving thing. I have to admit Jordan’s friends are really friendly and they accepted us real fast. We had a celebrating at the open area of the car park. It was nice as we could see the fireworks and the choppers and fighter jets zooming pass. It really was a great time.
Today we went to church and there was a sweet presence of God. Later we had a whole lot of food, as today was ‘basket’ Sunday by bringing food in a basket. There was loads of food and it was a great feast.
I really need to finish my homework and study for my Science common test, which is tomorrow! And I have to finish up making the history model project and finish doing my big load of homework. Yep, I’m really busy. And I don’t even know why I am wasting my precious time writing. Crazy me. Wacked up in the head. Oh, I also had a gift from my aunt. It was a pencil box, which looked like everyone’s pencil box, big and thin. It totally screamed at me saying, I AM NOT THAT TYPE THAT WOULD CARRY THIS KIND OF THING. Practically screaming. It was totally not ME. I don’t know but I had this guilt feeling as it was a very good material pencil box and I bet it is expensive too. Anyway, I changed my old one. I do not know what to do. Anyway, my faith is renewed and I really want to push forward Christianity and win souls for Christ! Amen? Yeah, I bet my friends agree too. Crazy 4 Christ!

Oh no

2006-07-25T21:16:00.000+08:00

Time to catch my breath. It was such a busy start of the week.
On Sunday, we had a guest speaker from Myanmar and he really had a simple view of what God is and has done in his life as well as teaching the Word. The best thing is that his view of how God holds everything in place and opened my eyes to see a larger view and a much different perspective. Later we went back home and get ready for my grandfather’s birthday celebration. Yes, I wore a dress. It was very awkward for me to walk around wearing a dress. But it was long enough to cover the shorts that I was wearing underneath. Anyway, we were in charge of giving out flowers after a person goes on stage and present or say something to my grandfather. When I first stepped into the Crystal Ballroom, It really was a Crystal one. Chandeliers hanging with crystals and a red carpeted-walkway with crystals growing on trees. Yeah it was very elaborate. But the food taste nothing like the place. It was not really my type of food but anyway, its FOOD. Adding to that my stomach was indigested as there was horrible karaoke out of tune singing full blast. I do not even know why there was such a program. Moreover the whole event was in Chinese and I could not help myself staring into thin air like this O.o Another thing was that we were sitting right in front of the stage and with all the rest f the adults. My two pesky sisters occupied the children’s table, where I wanted to sit. Humph! Okay, maybe I have gone too far complaining. I will stop. About the most entertaining thing that happened was that my closest cousins had a burping competition and I did not exactly win but it was fun. We burped in each other’s ear and tried to out-burp them every time. But it was a bit unfair as there were two against one. The One, was obviously me. And they took a picture of me, on their camera phones, when I turned around. And they gave me some facial hair and two cakes squashed against my face. And I playfully strangled and tickled them. Adorable.
Yesterday, we had our history common test and all the while I was studying for the wrong chapter. I am really glad my friends did step in and helped me along the way as I coped with the new chapter, which I had to learn till the test. I am really fortunate and I thanked Him. The paper was okay I guess. Maybe more on the difficult side than the easy. Later after school my friend and I went to eat at Mac and coincidently saw her brother and some of our friends there too. It was like a mini reunion. Later in the night, I slogged all the way, burning the midnight oil to finish up on my Home Ec project.
Today, finally at last.
We had our Home Economics period and it was the start of our practical. Great. What worse can worse get? I really dislike cooking. I cooked fried eggs for my sandwich, which was eaten by the boys. I tasted it and it was quite bland, but still the Vultures devoured it as fast as a blink of an eye. Anyway, we had to stop our lesson and go for our class photo taking. I was in the third row, which was quite all right I guess, with the boys behind us. We went back to finish our cooking and went for our Science lesson.
To my great astonishment I got a good grade for my earlier science test, thanks to God. We had other boring lessons which time actually stopped, especially for my Chinese lesson. Good thing we went to refill about ten water bottles and waited our time roaming around the school. You would do that too, I bet. Did our English common test and it was really difficult of me to write in third person but I did manage to pull it off, after canceling a few paragraphs.
CCA was all right and we sang a few songs and we played music games. And the best thing was we won! And our prize was a treat of Hello Panda packet. It was really enjoyable. Later after CCA I went with my friends to Central and eat bubble tea. I had brain freezes a couple of times but it was fun. Still had the creaky noise when I cycled back home. I really need to oil my bicycle. I will do it, I hope.
Tomorrow I am looking forward to the trip to the Discovery Center. I also am looking forward to the OBD event. I guess there are a lot of other tings that will be happening soon, for it is a busy time. I ask my friend about the cell group thing and he said that we would start when the exams are over.
Having some performances and a bass recital!!! Argh! My bass teacher called and asked me to do a song to showcase what I have learnt. I really am reluctant to do it as I have not really practice nor did my homework. Horrors of horrors. I really need to take out my Baby and practice it, real hard.

Cool drink

2006-07-21T21:42:00.000+08:00

Just came back from my tuition. On the way back, I wanted to buy a nice cold can drink and when I reached the vending machine, I saw that it was a new one, with much ore variety than it used to have. I chose a very unique drink, peach flavored soda. And the brand company was Elisha. Cool right? And the packaging is really nice. I drank it and it was very nice too. I love it, I might want to head to the vending machine every time I have tuition. Hehe.
Today we had PE and we did our height and weight and guess what, I have totally grew one cm. I am so happy! And I am like the second tallest in my class, for the girls. But I gained one kg so it is nothing much. At least I grew! But I aspire to grow till 170 and above because I want to be Luke Skywalker’s height, which is 172cm. Yeah, me and my big dreams. Anyway, I came back home early as I did not have any CCA and while writing my book on my bed, I fell asleep. I did not do much work anyway. I really need to study hard for the up coming common tests.
Tommorrow I will be going to my friend’s cell group meeting and just spend time with the Lord. I hope I will remember to go or my friend will kill me.
Okay, I got to go for my daily session of documentaries of America. CYA.

Dont stop tryin

2006-07-20T21:06:00.000+08:00

Sigh. Today we had a big problem with our science teacher. When I say BIG it is BIG. Adding to that, she is pregnant and upset about our class. I really have this guilt feeling and I really hope it would not last until tomorrow. We did write her an apology card but she did not want to take it. I guess we really need to change our way of thinking or we have raging hormones. I really hope everyone do their part to stop this nonsense and open their eyes of ignorance.
We had art today and I asked the teacher how to bend the colors and she ruined it badly and now I don’t even have a spare drawing block.
Anyway, I discussed about the cell group thing with a few people and it turned out that we will meet on of his zone leader and he could help us. So I am supposed to go with him to his cell group meeting on Saturday. I hope I can make it.
In the end we did not have our English test but tomorrow we have a math test. So I really hope I can pass the test with flying colors. It reminds me I have to remember some formulas.
After school I went with my friend to White Sands to check out the new Popular bookstore and I found the Alex Rider series, with a gadget guidebook. It is so cool I almost wanted to buy it but I controlled myself. After that I saw my father in the library café and my friend commented that my father does not look like a father but more of a cool dude. Awesome right?
I later went back home and lazed around listening to the S club7. I love their songs and British accents. And really liked the whole group. And the some most appealing to me was, Bring it all Back. It has a real catchy tune and they are good dancers too. Okay I think I better get going and do my homework, write my story and study for my test. Signing off.

hectic

2006-07-19T22:54:00.000+08:00

Yay, I got the Clay Aiken Special Edition CD with a bonus CD! Yippee. Yes, I a slow to follow the crowd. Well, it is not really mine but I got my hands on it! I probably go against the law as I always do and rip it off the CD. But hey, it is Clay.
Today was a tiring yet fulfilling day as we had our first meeting for the finale mass dance thing. It was cool and fun. About nineteen of the people showed up with enthusiastic energy. The leaders lead the way and we followed. It is really nice to see our classmates do something that they liked and had fun together. Now my legs are really sore and painful. I think it is the non-stop dancing and moving that made it sore.
Today we also agreed on creating a cell group in our class. I think it is really cool. We had 21 responses. It was really encouraging that people are hungry for God. I am glad that I have friends who want to share the gospel. I hope we can get it going as soon as possible.
I have carried on writing my story, which is still in progress. I think it is going quite well. We still need to have a few more meetings on the different projects that I am in. Really a hectic school life I am living in.
Tomorrow we would be having an English test and Friday we might have a math test. Not forgetting the common tests that we have next week along with a science test. Horror. Speaking of next week, we are going to get our class t-shirt and tie and the OBD event. I guess it is really busy, busy BUSY. I gained half a kg but so what, as long as my sister does not tempt me, I am in a good condition. When I came back from home, our home was transformed. Almost everything was moved and my younger sister has a whole room to herself! And I do not even have one. Even if I wanted to, it is not fair. Whine. Hehe. Anyway, my room was not much of a transformation but the other rooms were transformed. So we had a living room, my younger sister’s room, the master bedroom and another room for my youngest sister with my maid. Im felling a tiny bit sleepy so I think I need to sleep now. So goodnight, see ya tomorrow.

better

2006-07-18T19:59:00.000+08:00

Love the song, Stick to the status quo. It is awesome! I love the tune too. Anyway, we had an interesting home economics lesson today, with role play. And we also had a bad English lesson with me standing outside of my classroom. I admit it was quite fun. I had to do the presentation thing again to the lower secondary, and I was happy that we did quite well, better than the first time. Although I made some mistakes but I managed to pull it off, I think. CCA was fun in the later part as we had a little music theory activity. I did manage to carry on writing my story, which is a great improvement, as I did not do anything from the list I was supposed to do, instead I watched Chicken Run with my two little sisters yesterday. I will try to write a full page today and do some other homework like art, which I have abandoned many eons ago and not forgetting to practice my on my bass. I have never writting so short a blog since, i do not remember. Anyway TTFN.

trapped

2006-07-17T21:22:00.000+08:00

This is the first time in a million years that I am actually free from homework, well not entirely but you get my point. Anyway, it is great. We also had an assembly talk about dengue fever, which we presented. And after doing numerous mistakes and bloopers, everyone actually laughed at me. And at that moment I wanted to dig a hole into the ground and bury my head in shame. But it went okay, I guess. Tomorrow we also need to do it again to our fellow classmates. At least it is not so bad as not too many people know me from secondary 3-5. It was bad enough.

After school, I started on my bass trying to do the scales and stuff. It was fun. After that I went over to my friends house and discussed about the history project. We did not really discuss about it that much. It was more of a chill out session. Later we had a water fight and it was kind of a distress time. Coming back home, relaxing again and I got a little present! It was a very cuddly TY dog from my sister.

Oh, did I tell you that I actually choreographed the whole song for the finale concert. Yippee. I think I did a fair job.

I need to really speed this time well. I might want to continue to write on my story. I could also do notes on some subjects especially science. I could also practice for the assembly concert. I could maybe even do some music or history research for my projects. I could update my schedule. I could do a lot of things but do I have the desire? I do not have that answer. I hope I can do some of them, not just mopping around doing nothing but relax and being idle.
I gained back my kgs. Thanks to my sister and her temptation skills. I really need to control again. I do not really see any immediate results but I’m positive it will help in the long run. Ah! I ran into her trap again.

mixed

2006-07-14T19:24:00.000+08:00

Teenage hormones? I do not really know. Maybe it is true. All this mixed feelings and stuff. I really hope not. I guess I need to deal with it and do not do anymore reckless things. Now I think I have adjusted back to my normal self again. Okay today we had a math test and I felt that I did quite well for it. On the other hand, yesterday I did not really do well or study for my science test. I guess I really need to excel and try my very best to stretch myself to do well for science.

Yes, I bought a bass guitar and an amp the day before I went for my bass lessons… The next day, I went for bass lessons, which was yesterday and I really need to practice my scales and my chords change. It went quite well, just that my bass guitar had a tight thrust rod or whatever you call it. I think I need to return it or change it. Anyway I need to practice for the assembly concert and other stuff. And I forgot to give the birthday girl her present! I totally forgot to bring it! Yup, I am a forgetful person. Loads of other things that needs to be done, especially, my homework, projects and my story. I really want to be on task for everything that I do for this term so that I can have a good grade.

After school I went for ABRSM theory class for the next grade. I am aiming to skip this grade and move on to the next. I really want that grade by the end of my school years. And I was kind of shocked as someone called me something that was very horrible. Anyway, it does not really affect me because I simply do not care that much. I think I also need to redo my schedule so that it is more realistic. I also need to choreograph the finale song that we are doing for the assembly concert. Yes, I am one of choreographers because I want to do something for the class. I hope it helps. Well, I think I need to head down to my tuition place, so I will try to write every possible time that I have. Okay?

SSC

2006-07-10T20:40:00.000+08:00

That day was quite a traumatizing day with all the misunderstandings and miscommunications. I really wish it would never happen again. Anyway, I stayed up the whole morning, desperately trying to figure out a pattern and a focus for my Artwork. It turned out to be the same as the last time I did the t-shirt, about the aboriginal artwork. And I only sleep for one hour. The whole day I was feeling a bit drowsy and sleepy. And thus I became rather quite, much quieter that usual. We had many projects coming our way and many tests too. I think this is going to be a busy month, plus with all the piling homework and other activities and the food. I think I really need to rest; my eyelids are always dropping away.
Anyway, Mr Leung during CME lesson came a let us watch the end part which we are planning the check. We are also getting ready for our assembly concert. And anyway, I asked my mother if she would allow me to go. Sorry I’m making no sense. Later, the small one comes and destroys the bigger defiant school pulls down working her day off. Okay my eyes are as fine as needles, Yawn, I think I will write some more later.

Later is today, a few was six days later. Yup, a long time as you might say. I wrote the top part six days ago. Anyway, yesterday was a great day. We had the official opening of our church office after church. It was nice to see my father’s spiritual father again. It was a great day and after that I was exhausted and slept. And I didn’t even watch the world cup. But it was much more satisfying than watching the world cup. Anyway, ITALY won so it was all right, I did not want France to win. I am a big mean guy.

On Saturday we went to the Singapore Science Center to watch in the omni-max theater, which showed a documentary of Greece and its secrets. I really enjoyed it. We also had a workshop and so called made a fossil and we also went to the dinosaur exhibition at the SSC. It was so cool, plus we could also take care of the kids who came from the childcare center. I was not really designated to any child so half of the trip I was partnerless. But later I found one small girl and stuck with her for the time being. The exhibition was definitely worth the money and I think the children had fun too. Although we were short of time, it was a great outing on the whole. Later I went to see Ms Foong for the assembly talk that we were supposed to do and it took more than what I expected. I was late in meeting one of my classmates to take a look at the basses. It was really fun as at every turn and corner, there was a bunch of music shops selling guitars and accessories and it was really packed. I did not really see anything that was really nice and caught my eye. But at least I knew what they had over there. It was an exhausting day for me.

Today was quite a boring day I must say. We had science lessons and yet again boring history lessons. And we also had boring English lesson except when we had to do a group work and a classmate was sort of bugging me and the guys said something like they had my back. It was nice to see that our class is growing closer by the many hours we spent together. Later we had a boring Chinese except for all the crude jokes and fifteen minutes to get out earlier as we planned to have the talk. But in the end we did not, but we did get something for being the demonstrators of how to wash hands the proper way. Let the NEA think of all these stuff like the Restroom Association. Who would think of that, but them. Anyway some of my classmates think I should get a makeover, well thanks a lot for the encouragement. Rolling my eyes. But I guess I should cut my hair as I really need to and I had already thought of that mind you. And today I spotted many conversations where I had almost given in to peer pressure but I know what are my limits and my path. Well for a person like me, I will never do what others tell me as I take orders from my God. I also want to thank God for answering my prayer, as I know that desire for You is building in her heart, in Your timing. My friends and I later went to the producer and printer for our class t-shirts. We had a good time, I guess. I am proud to say that I think we did a good job in designing our class t-shirt.

I have a confession to make, I sometimes now feel a bit kind of agitated and there is a struggle in my heart for a few certain somebody’s around me. I do not know what to do. Please pray for me, as it might really affect me, and the people around me.

Today I am going to try to finish my humongous pile of homework and study hard for my Math test. I really hope to do well for the next half a year as I did not do as well as last semester. And I really need to clean up my room. It is getting messier by the second. And I must ask permission from my mom if I can buy a bass guitar and I might want to take up pop piano lessons, if I can cope with everything else. I think I better go and do what I must do. And I also need to ask permission from my parents if I could go for the event at Cornerstone church. I hope the date would not clash with any other things. And tomorrow there is going to be the pizza day for our class and the bankrupt day for my teacher. Hehe.

Burning stuff seemed quite appealing to me during our home economics lesson. It was cool doing the burning test on fabrics. I really enjoyed myself, except for the smelling part. I almost chocked to death, the smoke was beyond ‘smellable’ if there was such a word.
During classes, we all did a verbal bet on who would win and I voted for any other team except Germany. The Germany fans in my class, gets me mad. And to think Brazil loss was a really sorrow. Going through the teasing and rubbing in was worse.
We had assembly talk today about drugs and the consequences, the usual. But the only thing that was left in my mind was the first part about the World Cup. He asked if there was any one who supported Germany and there were many boos from the crowd, all voting for Italy. I was personally happy that there was at least a bunch of don’t-want-Germany-to-win people.
Later we had our UNSW mathematics paper, which I totally did not finish, well at least for the last few pages. It was really tough.
Later we had our CCA and I really was feeling drained out. I really did not have any mood or strength to sing. I changed the date for my tuition and for my bass lesson…it would be the next week on Thursday, a whole another week! Argh! Okay better stop whining. Tomorrow we have to attend the O-level music recital thing until 6pm. I hope it would be interesting. And I did sneak in an ice cream yesterday and today. What! Do not blame me it was mint, my favourite flavour. All right I’ll try to restrain myself. And tomorrow I get to watch the match! Yippee! I don’t really favor Portugal or France; I just hope all turns well. I did some research about Jazz for our music project. It is actually kind of interesting. And I got asked if I wanted to join something and I was kind of keen and I said yes. BTW, readers can find out the something by themselves. Heheh. But the best thing was God taught me how to write songs and I wrote one!!!
Here it is, complete with chords :
C F
You are a new creation
C F
Everlasting praise creation
G F C
All out for almighty God
G F C
All out for almighty God
C F
We are his great creation
C F
Living in his great salvation
G F C
He is my daddy God
G F C
He is my daddy God
C F
Don’t even jump to conclusions
C F
Cause he’s already in the motion
G F C
Standing in the gap for God
G F C
Standing in the gap for God
Am D
From the north to the south
Am C
From the east to the west
G C
You are a new creation
Like it? It kinda has a groovy sound to it. I am still working on it so some of the words don’t really fit and it keeps repeating. And the chords are super easy, if you haven’t noticed. Anyway, I think I need to have a rest before checking out the results of the FIFA WC. See ya.

No!!!

2006-07-03T16:23:00.000+08:00

This would be the first in many days that I have time to write. School was very tiring…for the first week. We had usual classes; our history and art teachers were kind of boring. Usual stuff I guess. I fried on Saturday when we had the SYFOC. It was a great experience and it was fun being able to perform in the National stadium for the last time. My parents came to watch me perform and it was an unforgettable day.

Brazil lost and I was really in a devastated stage then. It was like NOOO!!! They couldn’t lose, but they did. I was kind of sad that France, of all countries, would defeat them the second time. Oh, well I will vote for Portugal and hope that they will win!
Today, I did some writing for my book, I transferred all the things that I wrote, into Microsoft Word, and found out that it was only 6 pages long…how pathetic. Had a call from one of my friends inviting me to her house to watch the match, Germany against Italy. I really have to ask my parents about that. I don’t know…and I still need to ask my parents about the bass thing. I really hope they agree. And I found out that I have to attend Math remedial during the time when I have my bass lessons, so I think I need to make a phone call. Anyway, I did my homework and watched the Karate Kid. It was super, only we couldn’t watch the last part, as the person did not put up the last part. Either way, it was very enjoyable. I love Mr Miyagi!!!Anyway, happy 4 of July! And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Heheh. Got carried away, a bit. Anyway, I think I really need to do my homework and do my schedule so…TTFN!

chatter

2006-06-26T21:54:00.000+08:00

Today was a fully packed day. I went to school with my friend as usual and we were the first ones there, well at least in our class. Talked to other friends about the world cup, matches, teams, footballers, guitars, and our classmates’ hair. It was kind of weird as every time you turned a corner, you could hear pockets of people talking about the same thing…the World Cup. Class was interestingly fun as our teacher was on relief and there was another teacher who did not care if we talked or not. Wild animals, we became, hmmm. I moved to sit at several places to talk about football and stuff. A classmate told me that there is going to be a sale of guitar at Bras Pasar, I don’t know how to spell, at about 50 percent off. I almost planned to go when I realized it falls on the same day as the SYF concert thing. Boo hoo. Anyway there was a funny incident, one of the chairs I sat on actually broke and fingers were pointing at me. I really did not do it!!! I hope you trust me as my friends did not back me up, which was quite saddening. Tear rolling…Nah, just joking. Later I did my recess duty with RJ and I talked to her about my bass situation. She really did a good job in encouraging me, a great pal I would say. Thanks! Anyway, I skipped the half of the day to go to the National Stadium for the SYF thing again. I roasted, fried, toasted and grilled in the intense heat. And yippy I have gotten the tan! And I have gone down by 2 kg! This must be a happy day. Plus the TKSS band played the Imperial march when they were rehearsing for the SYF thing too. I really hope that they would win. And amazingly I drank six to seven bottles of water during the whole time. It was hot! I traveled back to school singing praises all the way back with a Christian choir member.

And remember the batman and JL logo that I have done, I think I’ll do the world cup logo for my friend and other logos too! I seem some how addicted to do these kind of mindless things I guess.

Satisfied?

2006-06-25T21:40:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I went out with one of my friends to Pasir Ris Park to cycle, exercise and to play Frisbee! But before I met up with her, I was supposed to wait for her outside her condominium, but I waited long enough that I cycled to her block after U-turning and cycling back, a car honked at me. I cycled and so called raced the car to her block. It was ridiculously fun. Anyway, I slid in the mud a couple of times when catching the Frisbee, but it was fun except that I was exceptionally klutzy. It started to become cloudy and we decided to go back. On the way we saw a big lizard and a komodo dragon sticking out his tongue. It was kind of cool to get back into nature…I guess.
When I came back I did some project work and I did nice artwork of the Batman and Justice League Logos and it was superb! This is call self-praise to boost your confidence. I think I would bring it tomorrow to show my friends.

Today we had an announcement from God. It was about the Prayer Tower in the church office. The Lord wants it to be a 24-hour prayer center but we need input from every member in the church to ask God when can we take time to dedicate our time to the Lord. I am still waiting for his answer. Patience is the word.
I still have a slight sore throat and I hope it heals in time. Anyway, I am pretty satisfied as I did 4 scale drawings for our project, which was quite a handful. I still need to finish my Math tuition homework and update my schedule. Weight went up again, sigh. Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I will make the difference, I really hope. Sigh, I really do not know what to do about my bass lessons and the investment into a bass guitar…
I guess I better be packing my bag for school tomorrow. I am also satisfied that I have written about 19 pages in my notebook for the story. It is sadly still in progress. I try my best to finish it up as fast as I can. School vacation is or was officially finished for me since, wait, like about when vacation started. Okay, I will stop babbling. Good night!

Dead meat

2006-06-23T20:54:00.000+08:00

I am so sorry I was really tired and busy the past few days to write.
Well on Monday,

I had to go to school for the SYF thing and we were soaking wet when we got back home. The combined school’s choir was getting into good shape before the opening ceremony on the first of July. After that, I went to the prayer meeting. My dad and I went to Pastor Mark’s Place at the guesthouse to pray for his daughter. When we prayed there was peace all over her face and the house. Then we went to the church office and we went to the prayer room to pray. We interceded and prayed for many hours. One of the people had a word for me from God. It was from Song of Songs 8 verse 6 to 7.

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

It was so beautiful. Thank you Lord. And that is how much He loves everyone. And the best thing was I started shaking, my whole body was shivering in a supernatural way. I was in His presence totally. It was awesome! And I could not control myself, as I was not the controller of my body, my God was.

When I got back home with my dad, it was already 4 am and I went to sleep.

On Tuesday,

It was sort of like a rest day. I woke up very late at 9 am. But I was still exhausted. I used this whole free day to take a rest and had a long nap after lunch. I actually planned to go to Fuji Ice Palace to learn how to skate but I was too tired to go out plus the place was in Jurong. I continued my story during my free time when my eyes are open.

At night my sister and I went to the church office and God prepared a message to the people who were there. It was about a sparrow. The Lord uses things that we often do not notice to teach us. It was a reminder to all Christians, even me.

On Wednesday,

We had the SYF thing again and had sort of a full dress rehearsal. When we wore our apron, it was very stinky as the previous two days; we did not air the costumes and props so it stank. I prayed a silent prayer that it would not rain as I did not bring my poncho that was supposed to buy, so if it rain, I would be practically drenched. And it turned out that God answered my prayer. I was very thankful.

My sister and I later went to her school’s concert band performance at Victoria concert hall. My sisters and a few of her friends went together to Victoria concert hall. They were a unique group of people that you would hardly have a chance to meet. They were all very funny and friendly and they love to take pictures of themselves with the scenery of some of the monuments during the walk from raffles place MRT to Victoria concert hall. We were sort of the first few people to get there and later I saw Khaliesah!!! She was all dressed up very formally…to think I was the formal one. She looked happy to see me and so was I. The concert was good and it had the imperial march and the cantina song. I was a bi disappointed that they did not play the Star Wars theme song. But they did play other songs from John William like the theme song from Jaws. The whole thing was cool and fun. Later we went to the church office again to pray and we then went back home to sleep. I was totally exhausted.

On Thursday,

I pontang my CCA if you know what that means. I woke up late! Anyway I did have a slight sore throat. I felt very guilty but it soon wore off when I watched Totally Spies and Batman. It was cool, especially Batman. Then I went to Tampines to got for my bass lessons! Yipee! It was kind of cool, the place was nice, the teacher was nice and the bass was nice. There was a lot to learn and I found it difficult quite a number of times. But the worst thing is that I have to actually buy a bass guitar, which I am not sure if my parents even allow it, as I did not tell them. Guilty. I have learnt many things about the bass guitar that I did not know. It was a fun lesson and I get to have a book for free. I am totally dead. And I have a week and three days before the next lesson. I am in deep trouble.

Later I went to tuition and I totally felt sleepy for some reason or another. And I got at least five sums wrong. I went home and really had a good rest.

Today, Friday, I did go to my CCA and the teacher wanted a parent’s letter. Great. I am double dead. Anyway, our choir instructor would not be teaching us anymore as she is going to set up a music school called Juzmusic. I was a bit teary-eyed to see her leave as I think she was one of the best choir teachers I have ever encountered. I think I will e-mail her later.
After that, I went to my friend’s house with another friend to try to finish up our project. It was kind of a relaxed meeting. And I found out that BRAZIL won Japan woohoo! Yipee! I knew they would win. Straight after that, I went to tuition and had another session. Came back home to eat and it was yummy. We had salad, country barley soup, meatballs and spaghetti. We are still having the western diet. And I am totally off my diet thing. I will try during the next week and onwards I hope. When I got on the weighing machine, I was shocked with horror written all over my face. I gained 3 kg! I really could not believe it. I am so sad. I will try my best…I hope.

I am praying that my parents would allow me to watch just one match…Spain vs Saudi Arabia. I know with my eyes closed that Spain would definitely win, about 99.9 percent.

Swimming

2006-06-18T18:02:00.000+08:00

Wheew, yesterday was a tiring day. My little sisters, my mother and I, we went to one of our church member’s house at the condominium called The Bayshore. She is a German and is extremely polite and nice. Her food is very healthy. When I say very, it is really, extremely healthy. Other church members came with their kids and we all went swimming. Unfortunately we did not bring any swimming costume so we had to rush to Parkway parade and buy it. By God’s grace I remembered going to one of the shops selling swimming gear. We quickly bought our swimming costumes. Mine was kind of nice. It was like a t-shirt with shorts definitely better than what my mother bought for herself. The colour was very nice too. We went back and swam for approximately four hours, stopping to eat a hale and hearty sandwich. Most of the time I was in the baby pool looking after the kids. When we reached home I was extremely tired but stayed up to map out the plot of my new story. I do not think I can actually accomplish the story by the end of the holidays so don’t get your hopes high. My mother told us how God gave my mother the perfect spouse, my dad in five dreams. It was actually very interesting and divine. God matched-make them together. The first was when her roommate told her that my mom was getting married but she missed the bus to her wedding. The second was when she dreamt that my father proposed to my mother on her birthday. The third dream was when she was at her mother’s house and her mother was scolding her as she was going to marry a pastor. The forth dream was when my parents when to the ROM and got married on the 31st of December. The fifth dream was from her friend who told her that he dreamt of her having a husband. It was really cool as all the dreams came to past, too bad she did not ask her friend what was his dream, it might have been my mother having four of us! We ate the usual salad, sausages, spaghetti, and chicken, for dinner. After that I totally fell into a deep sleep.

Today was a cool day. We went to church and I was on duty to help with the sound and control throughout the whole church service. It was not something new as I had done it before. There was a guest speaker from Mercy Ships. It was very touching as all the testimonies that God has again and again showed us his miracle power. After service, I ate at the Love Kitchen as we call it. My Auntie came up to me and said that one of the missionaries, which came back from Singapore; our founding members said that the Lord had sounded His shofar when my auntie and I did it. And it was in perfect synchrony. She was blowing, followed by my blowing and God’s Blowing. Like he was answering back to the church. A powerful anointing and presence from the Lord and I couldn’t hear my auntie sounding her shofar and I did not even know I was sounding it in perfect synchrony together with her. I thanked the Lord for answering back to us and being with us.

JOEL chapter 2 verse 1.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the Land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; surely it is near.

stuffed

2006-06-16T23:47:00.000+08:00

Today was the official family day plus celebrating my father’s birthday. It was surprisingly tiring half way. Anyway, first we went to the Salvation Army place to look at some books. Then we went to eat lunch at Meritus Mandarin hotel as planned. But we found out that the price for each person is $55+++! We had second thoughts about it so we when to the good ol’ Takashimaya and ate at some Chinese crystal jade restaurant. The noodles were all right but the tim sum was, frankly speaking, not up to standard. It gave me an upset stomach after that. Later we headed down to Suntec city and bought tickets for over the hedge as my parents and my sisters wanted to watch it. We got the tickets but we had to wait until three, which was one hour later. We went into The ROCK Christian bookstore, and bought books for the mission libraries in Philippines. We also had a Ben and Jerry Mint and chocolate chunks flavour of ice cream. I totally broke my rule about junk food. But it was worth it! We later went to the cinemas and watched the show with popcorn in hand. When we came out, it was like we had our life sucked out. We were totally exhausted but we still carried on. We traveled to this Japanese restaurant and ate sushi and other stuff that were really stuffing our stomachs up till the limit and maybe even over. We later thought we should walk around to let our food settle down so we went to Parkway parade and strolled around. My mother later bought my sister and I pants and we continued walking. My father stopped to look at a menu, which had tea and coffee and desserts. I just couldn’t believe he was still hungry, because I was totally stuffed. My incredible father ordered Apple-pie with three scoops of ice cream and a tea. My little sisters dug in and covered their faces with chocolate. I skipped it. Then my mother came back from shopping and bought herself a coffee and some egg with sugar thing. I couldn’t remember the name. Anyway, after that we went to Metro to look at some clothes for my mother as my father wanted to get her something and noticed that she always wore the same clothing. Which was kind of true. My father helped her choose her clothes. It was absolutely perfect for her when she wore it. We bought two sets for her and headed home. It was quite exhausting. We sat down and watched a documentary of England’s football history, which was cool but kind of sad. Too bad they only won one world cup.

Latest results for the world cup: Ecuador, England and Sweden. With Argentina winning 6 to nothing against Serbia and Montenegro. Wow, that is really amazing or most probably the other team is bad. Anyway, they have put up a good show.

I guess it is time for my eyes to close. Goodnight and do not let the bed bugs bite!

No credit

2006-06-15T23:19:00.000+08:00

Started on my little blooming story after a lot of drafts and hesitation. I’ll try to finish the story by the end of the school vacation or end of this month. I really hope so. Did nothing much just lazing around.

I soooo hate the Teen Titans. * Clenching fist and grinding teeth*. They totally ripped off Star Wars original Episodes. The places, once I saw it I knew it was ripped off! The mentioning of the detention level, the shaft, the lightsabers, the area in the Death Star. The famous line “ I am your father.” The force levitation things being uplifted and throw at. And to make things worse, this was the first time I got a glimpes of Teen Titans. I will never, I repeat, never watch it again. Even if anyone forces me to. They did not even bother to give any credit or disclaimer to Star Wars!!! I would sue them if I was George Lucas. It is making me soooo mad!

After that was my favourite show Batman. I really was happy that they at least showed some good stuff on TV. Batman has shown that he has a very high IQ in this episode. That is one of the reasons why I so admire him! It was nothing like Teen Titans. It was way cooler and better and cleverer. It at least had good learning points to learn. I really thank the channel showed it as it has prevented me from smashing the TV to bits. “Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, hate leads to suffering.” Well I’m halfway there.

My helper’s birthday was today and we celebrated it with a cake, which I ate, tanks to my sister forcing me. After eating the Begawan solo cake, I ate dinner; which was Vietnamese wet rice or something like that with an unusual taste, but interesting. We also ate sausages and bread. I did not lose any weight, just the same.

WCGermany: Spain, Tunisia, Germany and Ecuador won. Germany and Ecuador are going strong, well at least for Germany.

Brazil won

2006-06-14T21:57:00.000+08:00

Must calm down, must calm down. I just got an e-mail from my mom that my sisters and I would be performing for my grandfather’s birthday party. And by the way I cannot even understand what a word he is saying as he speaks in dialect. And I rarely utter a word to him. Anyway, I do not really mind to perform for him but to my other relatives, no way. And I did not even volunteer to do it. Calm down, calm down. Okay, I will chill.

Today I am happy for myself that I stayed put in my chair writing out 1/4 of the story that I am trying to finish up. And I have also memorized the verse, prechorus, chorus, and post chorus of MTW. Which took like about an hour. Yes, I am a slow learner. But slow and steady wins the race. I also must make a mental note to one of my friends that I am terribly sorry as I could not make it and did not feel interested to step out of the house. Call me lazy if you want. I do not mind. Hope there is no hard feelings.

I also came up with the idea that I should start my own vocabulary book to strengthen my English language, as you know I am writing stories here. I will start tomorrow, as I am simply indolent.

No improvement whatsoever on my weight, I do not even know how not eating junk food can help me. It is still the same. Ate a good pasta salad, with lamb and baked potatoes. Okay the results for WCG, Korea, France and BRAZIL won! Yippi! Kaka you rock! Did not bother watching Singapore Idol, as I will feel so ashamed to be a Singaporean. Well, I guess that’s all folks!

Justice League

2006-06-13T21:28:00.000+08:00

Woke up at the usual time today and watched the Justice League episodes on video. It was really jam packed with action and cool. I really began to become a fanatic about the Justice League and I really admire the Batman, Wonder Woman and of course Flash too. One of my friends called and talked to me about JL and JLU. I overheard too about a fake JL with my friend’s brother as Superman. It was definitely laughable. Sorry, to insult anyone but you know me I don’t take things seriously, well most of the time…I think.

Later my two friends came as expected. We sort of slacked a lot and did more slaking than work. As always. I really need to start doing some serious writing for my story and the other story I promised to some of my classmates. And I really need to find that perfect song for me to play so I would be known for that signature song. And after my friends left, my father came back and I totally forgot about his birthday! It was today! I hope it did not hit him hard. I think I better do something, like make a card or something. My ate (helper) is also having her birthday this week. I hope I remember her’s too. Loads of changes in my schedule and I still need to organize meetings for our project. We I guess it’s back to the stay-up-late-nights again.

Blogskin still not able to show on the page. I think it is malfunction or some sort. No improvement whatsoever on my weight, sigh. I sound like some depressed person, but nuh-uh I’m so totally not. I think. Taking about blog skins and blogs, I think blogs are for writing out what happened in any day, I think people should not really have any mentality that writing blogs is for mushy stuff. Well, some are but not me. I think it is for recording what happened and at the same time improves our English and we might even excel in writing personal recounts. It is also very much like a website where you can design your own skin or background which I think is cool. That what I think writing blogs is about ad it must not be stereotyped as hate-letters or way to express people’s anger or love. I totally must point it out. See the new light?

World cup news, well at least for now: Czech Republic won America 3-0 is kind of expectable so no biggie. Too bad I cannot even take a peak of the games as my mother does not allow. Pity me.

done

2006-06-12T22:47:00.000+08:00

Yes! Yes! I finished all my homework! Wohoo! I am so proud of myself! Okay, enough of the boasting. Today I finished up my Home Economics homework this morning and we were supposed to do a research on Anorexia Nervosa. I looked at the picture and I really felt sorry for them, they were like practically skin and bones! I also had a shock when the symptoms that I found and the relation with myself is really an eye opener, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I finally finished all my homework.

I went out with my youngest sister today, as planned and we did not really had that much fun. We headed off to Tampines mall and looked around for a gift to my maid as her birthday is coming real soon. But we could not really find a gift lower than our budget. Then we went to the Times bookstore and sat down quietly and read some of the books. And later bought some back home.

We later headed down to Mount Zion, Century Square to buy anointing oil. I chose the Rose of Sharon oil. Then we went back to Tampines mall to get some cash. We decided to watch the movie Cars as my sister requested. We had fish and chips at long John silver and bought popcorn for the movie. At first my sister was all excited and happy that we were watching the movie but later as expected, her attention span was 0 percent. And I reluctantly went out of the movies with her dragging me out. We bought a small bag for my maid and headed back home. On the bus, she started to miss my mother and was in the verge of tears, talk about cranky. I was a bit upset it did not go as well as planned, but at least I brought her out.

I don’t know what happened to my blog picture but it does not come out, well at least on my computer. I hope it is not another virus problem.

People’s main conversations now are about soccer and the world cup… it really heating up. Germany, Ecuador, England, Argentina, Netherlands, Mexico, Portugal, Australia are gaining points. Too bad Japan didn't win it this round...I think I am also guilty of that too, being excited and all. Hehe.

Broke a bit of the ban of junk food today as I sneaked in more than ten mouthfuls of popcorn, few licks of ice cream and mouthful of fries. Yup all in one day. Don’t worry I still do not have that desire of eating any junk food. And I’ll be more cautious.

Late

2006-06-11T20:09:00.000+08:00

Woke up late this morning. It was the first time in years we went to church later than usual. Well I don’t really want to say the long list of excuses but just thank God for waking us up. We had a great service and a time of giving our all to Him. We had a celebration of the Senior Pastor’s birthday in advance after lunch. It was good although I did not eat the cake, for various reasons as you know. I did finish up my tuition homework although I had difficulty with some of the sums.

After that we headed home and had a home-cooked dinner by our dearest daddy. It was delicious! It consisted of lamb, salad, bread and butter, and later spaghetti. I was stuffed after that big meal. And when I go on the weighing machine I was back to the same weight, thanks to my greedy mouth. Plan one, which was to stop eating junk food progressed very well for this whole week, higher than my expectations. Now it is plan two, starting from next week I shall cut down on my food intake plus the plan one. I just hope I can lose weight more. And I have to start to wash the shofar and bleach it and anoint it too. Tomorrow I made a promise to my youngest sister to bring her out. And I will buy the anointing oil too. Okay, so I only have two more things less to do before my homework list is done. Yeah, I desperately need to finish it by tomorrow. I hope by tonight I can complete it all. Like that is going to happen. I think.

Rush

2006-06-10T23:00:00.000+08:00

Smelling the strong peppermint smell, which supposedly helps to stop me from scratching mosquito bites, as it goes up my nostrils, is a very enduring thing to do anyway today was a jam-packed day; in the morning I played Frisbee with my sister until late in the morning. Then I hade a bit of a homework session together with my younger sibling, Stephanie. After that I had to rush for our church office, as it was clean-up day, doing it for God. Then after cleaning the window panels and sweating it out, we, consisting of my aunt, Stephanie and I went to this showfar/shofar-blowing seminar. It was very interesting to know that God has a showfar at His side waiting to blow it. We first got to know the, who, what, when, where of the showfar, then after the break, we had a demonstration on how to blow the showfar in different pitches which was so cool. I could only blow one tone but not two or more. I prayed that the Holy Spirt would in time teach me how to do it. And the seminar was pretty much noisy with all the showfar’s being blown at different times and all over the place. Oh and that reminds me to take this mental note: Buy anointing oil to anoint the showfar. Anyway, after that, we headed down to the Expo where we got our tickets to the ARISE Concert which was at 7.30pm. We got our tickets and also bought T-shirts for ourselves then we had our dinner at a hawker center, where I had prawn noodles, yummy! The praise and worship started half and hour after we came and it was a blast! Although at first I felt quite awkward as it was a sort of a children’s ministry and I had to follow my younger sister near the platform with the other kids who were half or a third of my height, it was later okay. It was something like a kids version of Hillsongs and the last song before worship made me jump to my feet. I could really feel the Holy Spirit in that expo hall. Awesome!

Now I am here with my computer and getting ready to sleep. At least I could proudly strike off two more off my homework list. Well, I really need some rest so tata!

The World Cup

2006-06-09T20:41:00.000+08:00

World Cup! Would Cup! Yeah. Today’s the day! I hope I can watch the first match, if my parents allowed me, which the odds would be 1234567890 to 1 as it is late in the night and stuff.

Today the bass guitar teacher called me to confirm a date and I told him on the 22 June at 3pm. It was cool and settled. That was the only excitement there was today. I did complete half of my English homework and half of my Chinese homework, which I did the picking game (mini miney mini moe) to help me decide which answers to pick. Yup, I do that every time. Had math tuition later and came back with more homework. Sigh. I just can’t really concentrate and stick to doing my homework, I think there are too many distractions or I’m lazy. Speaking of distractions, I manaed to play the whole song that I have been working on, More than Words. It was kind of hard at first but later I tackle it and could play it. Yay! I still need to work on the speed of my fingering and the clarity of the sound on my guitar. I think I might practice it later and not forgetting to finish my homework. Gotta go.

Opps, I forgot, we had potato salad today and plain prata with tomato sauce, yummy! And I forgot to record what we had on the 7th. We had prata with curry which was yumalicious! Weight still the same. Oh, and while I was doing some research for my home economics project, I came across the BMI thingy and they helped me calculate my height and weight and the results were that I was at the Okay range, which was one point away from the undernourished which has a high risk of having osteoporosis. That was quite of a scare.

oh happy day

2006-06-08T19:53:00.000+08:00

Yo people! I have cancelled three things off my homework list. Yay me! Today I went to school late and had usual class and then I went off to Macdonald’s to grab a bit and also to do some of my homework. While I was there, I sat at a corner and it was hotter than usual, anyway, school boys started to come and sit near my tables and one table was blabbing about a guy who couldn’t play the guitar well and about B flats and music, while the other table was talking about soccer and which country is going to win the world cup. The funny thing is that I actually was interested in these two subjects and didn’t really do much of my homework. Yeah, I know I’m one guilty girl. Oh, speaking of the World Cup, ONE MORE DAY TO GO! I am so hoping that Brazil will win! I think I got the soccer fever going in me. When I came back home, I played my guitar for a while which made the tip of my fingers go hard. Yes! Finally! My father told me once that if your fingers go hard, it means you’re a real guitarist. Yeah man! I took a shower and watch some short videos at youtube again. You might as what videos I am watching, well, it would be the Suite life of Zack and Cody. I don’t have cable, that’s why I am watching it on youtube, well at least some of the episodes. It is really hysterical. So you people out there, you better be grateful for having cable TV. It was like a rhythm, watch video, do homework, listen to songs, do homework, play my guitar, do homework. And I actually completed 3 things out of my homework list! Well, I took more time doing the other stuff than homework, hehe.

I called my friend and I actually wanted to play Frisbee but she was unable and had a few reasons to go along with it. But never mind, I can do other stuff. My weight has gone down a kg, but I’m still working on it! About the daily record of meals, we had spaghetti with olive oil, beef, and salad, which consists of carrots and raisins. It was not really my taste but it was okay, I guess. Agh! There are so many mosquitoes around my room and legs! I better on the air-conditioner. Ah, much better but I have gotten four bites.

The day today has gone pretty well but the best part is, drum roll please! I can go for bass guitar lessons! Can you believe it! Yeah, I can finally be able to learn how to play it. Sadly it is only fortnightly but so what, yippee! The guy’s place is near Tampines so it is quite reasonable and near, just can’t wait for the first lesson. Seeya.

Goofing

2006-06-06T19:16:00.000+08:00

Goofing around you might say, well sort of. Heh. After having Math remedial, we went to bug Mr Leung for our results. And guess what, I got a distinction! 97/100 for my ABRSM Music Theory Exam! Yeah, woohoo! Came back home and goofed around, watching videos from youtube.com. Then I searched for guitar tabs for some songs and loved a song by Clay Aiken, Invisible. Tried to play it on my guitar but it didn’t sound like it so I gave up. But it was nevertheless a very nice song.

Oh yeah, I forgot. My mom asked me to note down what we are eating for dinner every time and check if the dishes are appropriate, as she wanted my helper to cook all western style dishes. So don’t mind me writing the stuff. Yesterday we had salad-lettuce, alfa, Baked potato, tomato soup with beans and honey chicken. Yum. Today we are having tomato soup, bread, broccoli, and fillet and fried fish. It wasn’t that fantactic, partly because I dislike fish.

My tuition timing is fixed now, which makes it easier to know which days I am busy. Weight is still the same; sometimes fluctuate a bit, not much improvement. I think I will take it slowly, not suddenly a drastic change. I think after doing my blog I will start on my homework. Speaking of blog, I actually added one of my favourite songs, thanks to my friend Rui Jun, from Hillsongs, Everyday. Hope you all like it too!

sigh

2006-06-05T07:05:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I was too tired to write; so today I shall write what happened. Pentecost Sunday was a day of refreshing, crying out to the Lord and waiting on the Lord. I have offered my life to the Lord as a willing servant. We could feel his presence all the way. Our pastor sang a song I have not heard but it was something like this, “learn your lessons well and in due time He will tell you, what to do where to go and how to say.”
It really was a beautiful song…I will try to find the chords for it.

My church is also opening up a prayer tower in a small, upper room, as you might describe it as. I might also want to book a slot and bring some friends over too. I might wan to ask my classmates too.

Loads of homework piling up in the dust, yeah, I know, I definitely need to finish my homework or else it will keep dragging all the way back.

I found this song called ‘stalker’ by goldfinger and I found the guitar tab and played it. It really has a catchy tune and great tabs to play with. It was actually quite easy although I still needed to work on the speed. Found loads of chords and tabs for some Christian songs I have been looking for thanks to Jesus.

Today I will vow not to eat anymore junk food, eat two apples a day and cut down on my intake of food. Because my mum told me that I am the same size as my older sister and I am two years younger. I will try my best to resist junk food. I think I will give you updates okay? The last time I mention it, was just a trial test, which didn’t work out. I will try to succeed in this and not break my vow.

Still need to go to school. Sigh, I think I need to make a schedule on which days I am free to go shopping for my guitar. Sigh, this school thing will never stop. Today from 8am to 5pm I am stuck in this choir practice and after that, at 6pm I will have to go to math tuition. Can you believe it? One whole day wasted, sigh. Never mind I sure there is something in store for us, or not. I better stop whining like a small kid and prepare to head to school. So see ya!

short

2006-06-03T21:51:00.000+08:00

Tuition. That was a word I have not been using for the past year. Yes, I know I drive tuition teachers crazy especially Chinese ones. Thank goodness it was a Math tuition teacher. I went over to her house and she taught me and another girl math. I found it kind of easy and finished most of the questions correctly and quickly. The teacher was somewhat kind, patient and real friendly. I guess I will be seeing her often, I think.

Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday! I hope I will be able to go to the national stadium for the Global Day of Prayer. Today I went to the library to return some books before going out and I found half of the series of Left Behind. It’s about children that were left behind after the Rapture. I borrowed the ones that were on the shelf, about four of them. Then we proceeded to go to Tampines Mall to watch Over the Hedge. It was very humorous and was very interesting plot. I had cheesy Nacho’s while watching. Then we went to my grandparent’s house to spend time with them. It was fun although I was a bit tired. Well that summed up what I did yesterday and today, in short.

Never Be Ashamed of You

2006-06-01T15:44:00.000+08:00

I feel soooo guilty! I did a dare that my friend challenged me to do and I did it…hurting her. I don’t even know why in the first place I did it. I guess I was being daring enough to ram my bicycle into her’s. I felt so horrible after that as she was sensitive and stuff. I know I cannot show sympathy but I did say sorry. This is so frustrating. I heard many people saying that she is like a tomboy, but I beg to differ. When I went home, I talked to my sister and she told me some funny jokes to lighten up my mood, which worked.

Anyway, today we had people presenting their mini project to the class, when the turn came to us, we could not find the pinned up project. The teacher wasn’t even a bit concerned, thanks a lot! After class my friend started to complain about our hard work being gone down the drain. I didn’t respond to that complaint, although I really would like to present our project to the class. It was no big deal anyway.

More homework piling up. I did some of them but the pile still did not go down. I plan to write my fan fiction then do my math homework…I guess.

One more day to go! After tomorrow there won’t be any more school, other than day for my CCA. I am planning to watch a movie or so and hang out with my friends. I also hope to find a place to buy a skateboard and maybe even go to Peninsular Plaza to buy my guitar. Hehe.
In school we did a source-based question and it was about the Protestants and the Catholics fighting in Northern Ireland. I felt kind of ashamed because of how the Protestants could act like that. I am a Protestant and I really felt that they were crazy to do these kind of things and were not right with God. Another article about the Protestants being unruly was about the driving Muslims out of Malacca. That was another punch in my face. I better ask my father why they did that. I know all of that was in the past and now we are the Jesus Generation and we are living for His name and we will never be ashamed of Him!

slack

2006-05-31T18:21:00.000+08:00

Attack if the birthdays! Wow, I didn’t know there were so many people born on this day! There is Jolyn, Meiling(classmates), Deeno, Nadrah’s Mother and many others. Same school days, nothing much except that I have loss 3kg which I am now at 49kg…haha! Now I am still stuck wih a pile of math homework to do plus a fanfiction that you all are waiting for.

I stopped my medication as I am totally healed of diarrhoea yeah! Serving myself a bowl of magi (instant) noodles and typing is my lifestyle. No wait, I have not eaten instant noodles for about 2 months but…mmm, yummy! Done with my noodles…chilling around a bit…not really doing anything at the moment. Maybe I should do my homework…bah! okay I guess I should do it anyway...or I could carry on writing my fanfic? I’ll make up my mind later…Gonna play some more games…hehe. I know, I’m a pure slacker.

Drowsy

2006-05-30T18:31:00.000+08:00

Boring, is the word that describes my day at school. We had the usual classes. Nothing much. I went out to buy some presents for my friends whose birthdays are around the corner. I bought a Mr Potato and a stuffed elephant, for one of my friend and a book for the other. When I came back, I read some fan fics and played some games. I’m still quite lazy to pick up my pen to do my pile of homework. Still in the process on completing my fan fiction…I say maybe one month? I hope I can get it done by then…
Heard someone and a Vanessa are having crushes on each other…Feeling a bit drowsy as I just to my medication. I am just glad today my classmates commented on my tanned skin. They said it suits me and I look more like sports freak. Yeah! And the day before yesterday, I managed to change my blog skin for the first time…Yippy! And the design is real cool. I hope you agreed with me. Still finding a song that I want to be challenged on my guitar and currently there is no confirmation when I will be able to get my new guitar or skateboard. Boohoo.

Triple As

2006-05-29T20:04:00.000+08:00

Ah! I have diarrhoea! I think I spelt that correctly… It was since yesterday, now it is not so bad…Thank you Lord! I took two types of pills one is a big black pill, which tastes yucky and the other was the opposite…small and it had an okay taste.

Today was a long day. I had gotten up early and I vomited in the sink…the first thing in the morning. Then I had diarrhoea again. Then I had to go to the NEA building at 8am in Newton. It was a bit rush but I ended up being one out of the earliest of the triple As. Well, you see the three of us, Andrea, Albin and myself (we are called triple As) are representing the school for this environmental champions thing. And I had to go as I might miss the fun. Hehe.

After that, we traveled to Jurong east by train, it was long and agonizing trip and we were suffering from the Boredom syndrome. From there we took a bus to the Singapore science center for a field trip. It was really cool and interesting, I really enjoyed it. Plus I was wearing my favourite jacket, which was bought for me in Germany…the world cup 2006! Wohoo! Yeahhh! I love it…if you have not found out, I’m a soccer fan and I am definitely rooting for Brazil. I ‘showed it off’ to all the boys in my class and they were like, “can I have just a piece of that?” and some were obviously jealous and gave rude remarks such as “ wah, action, show off”. Evidently I am showing off but…haha, I have it and you don’t! I am definitely sinister.
That was about it I guess. Oh, and I told the secret to the person and he was shocked…haha good for him. Well, I guess I’m not a good secret keeper. Period.

Secret

2006-05-26T15:24:00.000+08:00

I just found out a big secret from one of my friends. Someone in my class has a stead. I don’t really about the normal gossips of the day, but this, I don’t know how to put it. It is not a gossip but just headline news for me. I know I’m special…hehee. I can’t reveal the names but so what…I know it…third hand. I don’t even know why I am so happy.

Today was one of those days where you got labeled as an African. I know they are racists. Horrible people. So what if I get a tan…other nick names such as black gold (which we recently learnt that another word for oil is ‘black gold’) and red lobster. What could be worst? The boys from my class are very much childish…especially the two big bullies, if you know who I mean. I got the tan or you might say sunburn from the two days straight in the hot, blazing sun in the national stadium). Okay, I admit, I wanted to have a tan, as I was sort of white then.

Anyway, Taylor Hicks won!!! As expected, he is really good! The whole Finale show was so amazing. I know this is the first time I have really admired someone, by appearances, I bet you can guess. Clay Aiken!!! His hair was so cool and I think he looked better than his hair waxed up. So what if there was speculation about him? He’s the man! That is the coolest part of the finale, apart from THE Underwood. I love her voice!

I gave my exam scripts for my father to sign and he was not at all thrilled about my results…especially for my Chinese Language. Ugh! I totally hate Chinese.

Did not lose weight that much during these few days as I have been sneaking food and junk food in my mouth for the past days. I know, I’m supposed to be serious about the weight loss thing but seems like it didn’t work out…I try to lose weight during the holidays which is like next week! The sad thing is that on the first week of the holidays, we have structured program, just a ‘great’ way to start off the holidays.

That was yesterday…

This is today. Okay, I told the secret to my friend…so what. I have been tempted to tell the person that I know his secret but instead, I told my friend. She reacted if there wasn’t anything wrong or surprising about it and she promised to keep that secret.

Today was kind of boring so to speak. We had assembly, as usual, and we heard the boring talk from our principal about suggestions and stuff. One letter was about the school’s event that is like American idol. Kind of interesting, anyway it will start next semester with auditions and stuff. Some of my friends I think can most probably get into the finals, with very quality kind of singing. I don’t intend on joining as frankly my voice is horrible and most comments confirms it. Yeah I know I’m in choir but…you know what I mean.

During our D&T class, we did some fun stuff. We made our own key chains for fun. I made two crosses with the yellow acrylic. I think this was the most fun D&T lesson I have ever come across except for the part when one of my classmates start nudging my arm while I was cutting the acrylic which made my cross go crooked and the coping saw to break, what a jerk. After that, I went for recess early as I had student councillor duty. I didn’t eat anything but help my injured friend with her food. I then went to class and chilled for a while. When I came down from duty, my friend said that I was late and is recorded. I was like furious as I had a clean record since…since I was born! That was when I suddenly had this bad mood. I don’t really know what happened. I was tempted to throw my tie, tiepin and badge into the drain, maybe just frustrated. I didn’t want my friends to see my burning anger, like one of those typical girls squealing and complaining about everyone is to be blame, so I just calmed down and shun it away from my mind. I was very difficult but I did it. I’m the Man!

We did some cleaning up and polishing of our homeroom and it was fun except when my tie got into the dirty water. The guys from my class still calls me African, but I have grow used to it. My skin on my nose is pealing off revealing my o-so-white skin. Getting used to the tan and nickname.

Yessss! I lost 2kg since this whole week although it is still fluctuating. The holidays, which is starting next week, is going to be the period that I try to lose weight and fats. Later I need to go back to school for the PTM. Although my parents may not be around go with me, I still have to attend it as it concerns my streaming and which subject combinations I would like to take. Well I hope I don’t fall asleep during the principal’s talk, as right now I am feeling sleepy…

The fanfic that I was writing has become stagnant and is not progressing at all. I hope I would have time to write during my school 3 weeks vacation. Well, I hope I won’t get a scolding from my parents when they see the results that I am going to bring back. Which is like 0.0000000000000001 % chance.
Wow, I didn’t know I could write so much…anyway I will hope for the best. God bless!

back

2006-05-21T19:53:00.000+08:00

I’m back! I am so sorry I have not post any entries during the last few weeks or days. Now I’m listening to More Than Words song, that I am unable to learn the whole song until now. Heehe. I am so sorry that I didn’t have time to write as I was so busy and tired…really, no kidding. Watched American idol and it was cool, too bad Elliot got kicked out. Kat’s voice was superb when she sang the song chosen by Simon. Very angelic. I talked to my classmate about his beautiful guitar and where he got it. Found out it was a cheapo kind…but it still caught my eye. I didn’t really ask my parents consent whether I could buy another guitar. I told him I was planning to buy one and he suggested on at Peninsular. I was sort of excited and had already planned to go there one of these days. He later said that there were punks and mafias there, but honestly I really wasn’t scared. Come on who would do these kinds of things in Singapore and if there was, I don’t think I would be the likely target. I wanna buy my guitar now! Okay, I just impatient…pout! Now I really sound like at brat. He offered to bring me there as I think he knew how to get around the maze of shops and stuff…sounds like a good deal, I might bring a couple of friends too. The more the merrier.
Heard the class 2/1 is putting up a performance during the assembly period. The boys from our class sounded kind of pissed off about one band that is performing. Frankly I think they are just jealous, so what if they don’t have a bassist? They didn’t have one either…which comes to another subject, I want to learn how to play the bass guitar!!! I asked my father if he happen to have any bass guitar, he replied that he used to have a red one but seems to have lost it or gave it away…and later I asked if I could borrow a bass for my dear friends for the EMP concert which is coming soon. My father made a deal with me if they wanted to borrow any bass, they would have to come for at least once a month to my church and play there for some time and then he would buy a bass guitar for my friends. Heard that? I know it would take forever for them to read this but a chance is a chance…Talking about the EMP concert, my group is going to Walking On Sunshine (the Aly & A.J. version) I think I’m playing the guitar or electric if my friend allows…hmmm, maybe…talking about my dreamland and I.
Yesterday, I went over to my friend’s house to help bake muffins for fun raising, I can practically remember the whole recipe as I have repeated it about thirteen times. It was a tiring job but we all did it. It was fun making the muffins I have to admit, even though I hate cooking. Yeah I know I don’t really consider myself as a tomboy but some people do. They say I dress like one sit like one and act sometimes like one. I would receive that as a compliment, it is definitely a thousand times better than people calling me feminine…yuck! Talking about feminine, while we were making the muffins, her brothers came into the kitchen and was nosing around, it got the two girls squealing after that. I didn’t find it amusing or anything, I guess they had a crush or admire them for some reason. I’m not criticizing them but you know…I just rolled my eyes. I’m not gonna be caught in this type of infatuation over boys.
My progress on the fan fiction is going quite well with about nine pages (A5 size). Yay! I have not continued since last Friday but I guess it will progress further. Borrowed some interesting books to read over the weeks.
FAT.FAT.FAT. That is frankly what I heard these few days. I feel so FAT. Okay, I really can’t stand it. I will show them all…I will try to prove that I can change and become slim and cool. From next week onwards, I will try to steer away from extra cabo and junk food and anything that is fatty. I hope I can lose a few KGs…I’m sure I keep updating, hehe.I guess I better stop writing…or else it would form into a composition! Hehe. Gonna watch Singapore idol, TTFN!

thoughts

2006-05-13T22:29:00.000+08:00

Yesterday’s wedding and wedding dinner was great and was definitely great way to spend the public holiday. It was very grand and nice. We left the house to go to the Catholic Church where the wedding was held. It was a bit unusual as I am not that use to all their different ways of doing things. I definitely prefer protestant ways…in my opinion. The wedding march went well except for my younger sister’s exaggerated way of walking, bobbing up and down, kinda funny. Great lunch food and great tasting desserts. There was a bucket full of hot fudge sitting there waiting for me. It was so invitingly that I took three scoops, not spoonful, but scoop-full of hot fudge and poured it on a chocolate oreo cake. It was like heaven! After eating to my limit or a little bit over, it started to rain and we went back home to take a nap, which I did not even have ten winks! My younger sisters were a buzz as they discussed their flower girl talk.
When it was time to go for the wedding dinner, I lazily put on a t-shirt and a shirt over it without buttoning the row. Simply me. I brought my guitar for the performance. We ate half way with a waiter at every table ready to serve you. For a moment I felt I was the Queen. After going though three dishes, the newly weds came with their formal dressing and frills. It was like the arrival of the geust of honor. They did the usual stuff of cutting the cake and opening the wine bottle and pouring it into cups. After that it was our turn to perform…I was kind of nervous actually but I guess it was alright. After that, I struggled through the other remaining courses of food. Too much for me. Played with the helium balloons along with the kids. We were also given tokens of appreciation (a very cute and nice key chain gift).After all the food, we hanged around for while and later we went back hop…I was so sleepy I could not even open my heavy eyelid. Taking a bout sleepiness, I am beginning to close my eyes..ohno. So that was the summary of what I had done during the public holidays.

Today was a rest kind of a day as I had invited my friends over to finish up our project. How boring can it get? We finished some of the places but we don’t know how to do and construct it. I guess I am extremely tired now so TTFN! …Ohyah, I thin I am going to write a fan fiction about my life pertaining to me friends and stuff in the School of rock. I think that would be my first fan fic that I will write.. Okay my eyes need toothpicks to hold them…

The day before

2006-05-13T21:35:00.000+08:00

Yes, I know I am not supposed to skip days not writing… but I was tired and most of all very sleepy. Well I will express my thoughts…in another post.

Bored

2006-05-11T20:30:00.000+08:00

Yahooooo! I’m done with my exams! Good riddance! But extremely worried about my results…Argh! Tomorrow is the day to perform and I barely had any rehearsals. Got to finish the project that my group started long ago. Hmm, all my days are cramped with stuff during these few days, so I don’t think I can buy my skateboard or even my guitar…sob!

D&T exam was an easy paper if I had studied. I hope I can still get a distinction. Overall, I don’t think I did my best this semester. I will most definitely strive to do well the next time.

After school, I went to my friend’s house to have fun and relax, and then I went back to school to collect my mother’s day cake. I hope my mother appreciates it. Had a nice nap but with mosquito bites when I woke. I am so bored although I have lots of things to do…I called my two friends but both weren’t in. How boring can this day get? I played my guitar and improved on the first part of the song that I was working on. I managed to play until the pre chorus, yay! But I still have a long way to go. I think I want to learn and find a song, that is difficult to play, and learn it by heart so if anyone asks me to play a song I know what song to play. That’s what I aim to do, apart from the song that I am learning now. Well that’s all I got to say…I think.

dream

2006-05-10T13:42:00.000+08:00

A very weird thing happened the first thing in the morning…I had the most peculiar and weird dream…you don’t wanna know. One more paper to go!!! Haha! I so excited I’m gonna by a skateboard with my own money! And I so truly hope that my mother is still up for the deal for buying me a new guitar… You will buy me a guitar (and a bass guitar too). I hope that Jedi mind trick worked… CIP fund-raising day is coming up, I think I need to get ready. Plus I need to do a whole lot of other things, I guess it is very rush. Pout! I thought I would have time for relaxation and chillin’ out. I guess not.

The wedding is the day after tomorrow, and I still have not practiced for the coming item that my sisters and I have to perform, this is bad. Main reason for not finishing up the tabs for the song: I slacked yesterday so bad that I did not do anything on my list of things-to-dos.

I still have some thoughts about my dream lingering in my head. I wouldn’t even dare to share it with anybody. It’s kind of embarrassing and appalling at the same time. I can’t even believed I dreamt that dream…ugh! It just freaks me out.
Tomorrow at 1pm is the day when I get the ordered cake for mother’s day…I don’t think my mother would even like the cake or more so even come back early for Mother’s day. Actually to tell you the truth I really didn’t want to even order the cake, it’s just that my classmates so called ‘ruined’ another class’ plans for fund raising. The ‘good’ and ‘kind-willed me tried to help them pair up their relationship with our class, I hope.

yesterday again

Yesterday was a total slack day. Even though the next day is my most dreaded subject exam-Mother Tongue, I didn’t bother to even open my textbook. I simply played games and more games…I think I’m turning into a geek. Yikes! No way…temperatures have risen…real hot…summer time too…Still slacking…
I'm so sorry for doing such extra stuff such as making an 'yesterday' posts which i did the next day as i want to try to post a daily entry...you know like time tracking and stuff.
(I know you don't know what i'm saying hehe)

calling all geeks!

Hand numb…can’t write…Literature exam. At least I can type…
Thank goodness the cleaning was over. I did some spring…no summer cleaning today, very tiring. I know I have the look of a don’t-like-cleaning-person kind of look. It runs in the blood, at least half of my blood :) . Spent like 3 hours cleaning up my mess. Now I’m studying…well sort of. Studying English I suppose (by writing this post!). Tomorrow is math and English paper two…dreadful. And on top of that I have to write the tab for the song that my sister and I were allocated to perform for a wedding dinner, which is like four days away. Big trouble.Literature exam was okay, nothing more difficult, and nothing more easy. I want to thank God for revealing some questions to me earlier and I have prepared it in my brains that period before the exam. Does anyone know how to change the blog skin? I know you have to go to the blogskins.com or something like that and to copy the thing and then paste it somewhere…I did all of that and noting came out…calling all geeks! Help me out! Please? And while you’re at it maybe you could teach me how to put music too…thanks whoever you are…in advance. :)

This title is called yesterday, as I wanted to post it yesterday but nevermind, I’ll post it today. Yesterday a long distance call from my friend reminded me to bring up the subject about my trip to Canada…I so badly want to goooo!Anyway, during dinner time my father brought up the subject of skateboarding when he was in UK or US. He said that if I bought one he would teach me how to do ‘scanting’ or somesort of method. I’m so planning to buy one!

sunday fun

2006-05-07T22:03:00.000+08:00

I have decided to spend my time posting and not studying for my literature exam, so I kinda have this guilty conscience right now. Today was kinda a good day. Today was the Lord’s day so we headed off to church. It was a refreshing day as the Lord’s presence was once again, always present in out church, the living vessel. I remember the time the Lord gave me a vision about the Sunday school. I was sort of very emotional at that time as He revealed his work that he wanted to do in my life. I am most utterly grateful and thankful. Anyway, today we had not visitors but ‘old’ friends who came back from Bagio city, The Philippines. The Johnson’s family including their 2 kids. They were very cute and behaved like most boys did. They played with the Sunday school children and were very much the entertainers for the Sunday school children. After church around 3pm we went to Mac Donalds and ate the usual, burger and fries. I was delegated as the babysitter while the parents had fellowship together. Obviously my sister did not even lift her finger and volunteer to help as she had her homework to do.
I was drenched after spending three whole hours chasing the wild cats and dogs, if you know what I mean, but it was fun! He he. We headed home about six o’clock.

Today

2006-05-05T18:36:00.000+08:00

Today was a very stressful day, well at least in the morning. I had my science exam! It was tough…
Anyway, after school was the distressing time. I headed home and deciede to surf the net, as always and hehe..went to check out some fan fiction. I read several fluff stories…kinda not I was expecting and I decied to surf the net on the school of rock. It was fun got to some fansite about Rebecca and Kevin and joey. Kinda okay. Got loads of pics. Joey looked like my cousin, who also by the way plays the guitar…electric I think. Kevin I have to admit is kinda cool with his spiked hair and all. I think the fanfiction has ifluenced me…I just admire Rebecca she is so way cool…I wanna be a great bassist like her but I don’t even own a decent guitar or bass guitar…pout. This is not at all fair. I wanna learn how to play the bass as I like the groovy sound and I find it soooo cool and anyway my friends needs a bassist. It would be so good to play in a band and be respected as an EMP student. Well, unfortunately I don’t know a single thing about bass guitars and how to play it. I can play the guitar a little but no one’s helping me. Just my computer and I .
Oh did I tell you I am working on/learning the guitar tabs of the old westlife song, more than words…kinda tricky and very fast…still learning.
My birthday was just over like yesterday. It was kind of touching in some ways… my class sang my bithday song for three times…I will always cherish that moment and after the third time they sang the song, my music and form teacher played the starwars main theme for me…it wwas the best. I’m not really the popular one in class but I’m truly happy that they remembered mmy birthday. Though I could tell that my close friend did not remember my birthday but it’s okay, I don’t mnd that much…
Okay here is the list that I would really like to have for my belated birthday:
-Anything that God wants me to have
-A new language
-A new guitar/ bass guitar
-scoring well for my exams
-A ticket to Canada, Vancouver for the holidays
-A soccer/volleyball
-track pants with zippers!
-A teacher for teaching me the drums/bass guitar/guitar for freeee
