things i'm thankful for(NS)

2009-11-26T08:54:00.001-08:00

:D

just had to post this video. POKEMON = WITCHCRAFT. LMAO.
the reality of false teachers.

this was what Scorpion Company Drill Squad planned to do for our inter-company drill competition. But due to the lack of time to practice, we only used alittle. Came in 4th out of 11. Raven COY came in 1st, their's were superb. Did their fancy drill to OneRepublic's Apologise.
thing i'm thankful for in BMT:

being in a warrant officer company (they treat you really nicely.lol)
being in platoon 2 which means on the third floor.
not too high, so don't have to walk too many flights of stairs but high enough to see the sun set and rise.
being in section 4, no trees outside to block the sunrise, allows sun to enter room. more spacious.
being bed 08, bottom bunk, get direct blow from the fan, while my buddy on the upper bunk complains it's super hot.
also having my locker next to the window, so it's bright enough to see what's in your locker and see yourself in the mirror.
(sections mates always love coming by my mirror.haha it's like a backstage mirror)
S2408 :D

really thankful for the friends i've made there. not for them, BMT would have been really boring and dreadful. awesome sergeants that don't give you too much crap, and would also sit down and open up. sufficient free time to do what you have to do, even extra time to train physically. i'm also known as a freak, because i don't perspire alot. when others return with drenched shirts, mine is just alittle wet at the back. In which it's something to be thankful for, because then i smell alot better than the others and wont have to suffer with wet clothes etc. However, it's pretty dangerous because my body is unable to cool itself down, and more prone to heat injuries.

and surprisingly, when it came to writing down the PROS and CONS of BMT, I found it hard to fill in 3 short points for CONS of BMT. the Lord has indeed been with me through this entire course. Held Isaiah 40:31 close to my heart.

31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

These are just a few of the many things I'm thankful for. I'm glad to say that through the Lord's grace and mercy, I've been able to achieve almost everything an average recuit plans to achieve. Like Marksmanship for shooting, IPPT Gold etc. The only thing left is making it for OCS.

If I manage to get in, I'm prepared for a tough 9month journey. I know I cannot afford to be complacent. Yet again, I've got to place my trust up on the Lord. My Savior, My God. my new favourite song by Aaron Shust.

Had my Passing-Out Parade last week, can't believe it's all over. so many memories. GOOD TIMES, PURELY GOOD TIMES. everything flashed before my eyes as my parents walked over to put on my jockey cap, a symbol of graduation from basic military training.

I remember moments of laughter where we made fun of the sergeants behind their backs and scarying eachother at night with ghost stories and hiding under the covers of the victim's blanket, only jumping out and screaming when he comes back. Lots of singing in the Bunk, disney songs in particular. haha. The 6 day field camp experience, where i got bored and built a bench using logs and didn't get to shower. Grenade throwing exercises and live shoots, the power of gun-powder. Singing with much passion as we marched to the ferry terminal for book-outs. H1N1 out-break in camp that felt like L4D(the game). Moments I wish to cherish and never forget. Moments that only by experiencing it first hand will you understand, and not seem like long post of nonsense. haha.

And tears almost came rolling down my cheeks as i awaited my folks. Never did I expect my first 9 weeks of army to be this memorable and blessed.

ENLISTMENT

2009-10-06T06:59:00.000-07:00

this is it
I'm enlisting in about 10 hours time.
I'm pretty much prepared and looking forward to it all.
It's gonna be tough, and I've accepted it. Like every Singaporean Boy, it's a time where we
turn from boys to men. Looking forward to that $2 hair cut and free army equiptment. haha
Have been reflecting on what I shared at YPG while back as I prepared by heart for it. This is
what I shared:

" Growth of the Spirit:

We have passed the half way mark of 2009, and soon we'll be gearing up for our end of the year events. I took time to reflect upon these past 7 months that have passed, and I'm thankful for many things, yet disappointed in some.

Initially I started off with a bang, so eager to make this year significant. Wanting to end the remaining 6 months of school well and getting good grades. This soon took a toll on my time I spent with God as it soon became second priority. And eventually not spending my desired amount of time with Him, only turning to Him when exams were near.

It was difficult to go back to that initial state, because I felt rather distant from God. Not keeping up with growth results in being out of place when others close to you have sped ahead. A bitter-sweet feeling of being proud of them, yet ashamed of one's self.

When YPG returned after a month break, a new excitement from within. And an apt theme of 'Growth'. A challenge to start a new and desire to get back on my feet once more.

One lesson that really got me thinking, was the lesson on 'the Spirit of Man'. In which the Spirit = Secret to Power. A spirit triumphs over the body, like waking up in the morning. Your spirit tells your body to get up and immediately you get up. Similar when it comes to time spent with God, no procrastination. It is capable of putting you down, yet also capable of building you up.

I have experienced a small magnitude of the spirit's ability in achievements. This year, I had to take my NAPFA test, which would determine if I have to do an extra two months of NS if I don't get a silver or gold award. This got me pretty worried, because the last physical test I took was a year ago, and I'm not into much sports. Back then, I didn't know much about the capabilities of the spirit, only on hind-sight was I able to identify this.

I started off with running and going to the gym on a regular basis. However, after awhile I started to have negative thoughts. Thoughts like, what if I still fail after so much training. My spirit was soon crushed as I grew disheartened. Like in Proverbs 15:13 'A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken'. One's spirit can put one self down. Soon I didn't have the strength to attempt training for a silver. Then I caught myself wallowing in self pity. Have I forgotten about the Lord's promises and His faithfulness. The Lord has indeed seen me through many obstacles in my life, why second guess Him now.

This time round, I was determined to get a silver. Learning to rely on God, involving Him each step of the way, praying for safety and a strong mind. Now experiencing the other side of the spirit, the ability to build a person up. My spirit was able to sustain me. Like in Proverbs 18:14, it speaks of the spirit sustaining a person in sickness. But in my case, it was not in sickness, but in tiredness. The strength to power through, through the mind. More than just 'mind over matter', but a 'Yes, I can' spirit.

Through this challenge, I have grown in spirit as I learn to depend on the Lord more, with a greater level of trust. And that second guessing the Lord's faithfulness will not get you anywhere, an issue of doubt that I have to overcome completely. The Lord has blessed me with more than what I have asked for, instead of blessing me with just a silver, He blessed me with a gold.

This has helped me a lot as I seek to prepare myself mentally for NS. And one practical way for me to grow in spirit is through memorizing verses, hence also allowing my spirit to be renewed. Like it also says in 2 Corinthians 4:16, of the spirit's renewal. What's the use of having a spirit that sustains but grows weak after a while, then it is unable to aid you the next day. But once 're-charged', it's as good as new. A promise I can cling onto and be encouraged when I enlist. I'm not having cold-feet just yet, but I'm sure the Lord will be with me upon enlisting. My part is to grow in Spirit and be prepared for what's to come.

One song I'm reminded of when I think of renewal is, 'New Song In My Heart'. Songs give power, to encourage or to strengthen. And in the third verse especially, it speaks of how the spirit can be whole once more, the idea of renewal. [Put a new fire in my soul. Make this wounded spirit whole] ''

As I go in, I'm determined to have a this strong spirit of relience upon God.

I'm unusually calm right now, but it's gonna be different from what I've been playing in my head.

at 15yos

at 19yos. hahah notice al's same shirt 6years ago. hahhaha.

Met teacher Yongjing for dinner today. Had a good time catching up.
Shared a word of encouragement from 2Cor. 4:7-10.

''7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.''

The challange I have to face as I enter. I'm yet again reminded I can do so much and nothing more. But I'm sure I'll be able to handle all things with God on my side(:

I'm really thankful for friends all my friends. For meeting up despite your busy week and even wishing me well wishes(: thanks peeps!
Remember me in prayer guys! Seeya in a few weeks time. Hope I'll still be recogniseable.

Pre-enlistment

2009-07-27T16:39:00.000-07:00

Haven't been active here for a really long time.

Intially i couldn't blog much because i had final exams to prepare for, that was way back in the beginning of june. And now, it's all just about waiting to get enlisting on 7th OCT. My NAPFA experience was a crazy one. but i managed to pass it and have my enlistment pushed back. If not i would have to enlist in 10th SEPT and do an extra 2 months of NS to make up for my 'unfitness'. Training has indeed paid off.

I still have to maintain this. Plus, in army the fitness requirement is much higher. Uncomparable to this 'no-kick' napfa test. [will add what i shared at YPG about this napfa experience]

District 9

Saying this movie is good would be an understatement. The movie has it all, a very intriguing deep plot, good acting and great action. If I was to find a flaw in this movie, it would be the shaky cam technique employed at the beginning part of the movie and also at the very end. The shaky parts are supposedly documentary clips telling the story of Wikus, the protagonist. But rather than add to the feel of it, the shakiness is just nauseating. They just over did it. But after a while into the movie, they got out of the documentary mode and things couldn't be any better. And the special effects in his movie will have you believing that these aliens are real.

It's better that you go into this movie not knowing the deeper plot as a big part of the movie's entertainment value for me is the parts when things look hopeless and you really feel the despair and hopelessness of the characters. The only thing you need to know going in is that there are aliens stranded on earth and they are put in slums.

This is one of those movies that teases you that it's nearing its end, but inside, you go "No, I want more. It can't end like this", and the movie hears you and gives you more. And it's primed for a great sequel. The potential that this franchise has is just enormous. The way they can expand the story is just limitless and all of them can add to it's lore. This is a classic franchise in the making.

LOVE STORY (Taylor Swift) meets VIVA LA VIDA (Coldplay)

really nice clash of both songs. At the end you hear why the pianist did this.
Really sweet to know he did this for his 7 year old daughter.

Starting early prep for my exams at the end of the month. hope i can clear all my mods. dont wish repeating any and delay graduation for another 2 months.

The S Factor, it's ELECTRIFYING!

A tribute to some of the brightest and most original girls ever known to the sunny island of Singapore. Damn joke, seriously.

it's been a whole 1year and 1 month since stepping into SIM. it's been an awesome time. With the pretty slack timetable of 3hours a day, but 6days a week , it's been fun.
Made great friends, who have been project-mates for mostly all my assignments.
It's sad to realise that this 15month course is coming to an end, and it's the army for me. Indeed the Lord has seen be through another phase in life, and confident that He'll be with me as i enlist in Sept/Oct.

Random group picture.

picture taken on the first week of school, April'08. for my group profile.

One crazy year later. slight difference as you can see. (hopefully for the better)
will sure miss studying for another 2years after this semester. so better piah now, and study real hard in compensation of the 2years of no brain activity. lol. dont wanna repeat a module too, then i would have to 'stay back'.

went to visit Allister in Changi General Hospital on the 18th of April. living the Grey's anatomy life aye. haha. but it's been tough for him, like having a needle in his hand for the drip of antibiotics.

you know with his new hairstyle, we couldnt identify him from the rest of the patients at the ward. like all the uncles there also had that cool hair-do. haha. Al's recovering at home now. We'll still keep you in prayer man!

Nigel playing with Al's bed level control. an attempt to crush him. haha

circle of life

2009-02-25T02:57:00.000-08:00

circle of life.
Aunty nelly just passed away, only moments ago. was thinking of her on the way up to the office, before hearing the news. looking at the family camp poster with her in it which was plastered on the lift wall.
it has been a tough journey for her. vague memories of her singing with the evergreens for church events. And times where she would come over to our house for CAFE meetings, sometimes bring along goodies for my siblings and i.

yesterday in the car, my dad was going to visit aunty nelly so he decided to give me a lift to school. he was telling me about how it's good to go visit people in hospital. a source of support and encouragement for the family. and though aunty nelly cant respond, she might still be able to still understand on her side.
and aptly, the circle of life, from the lion king, by Elton john started to play on the radio.

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to be seen than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

...

In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle,

the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of us soar to the stars

And some of us sail through our troubles

And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

at prayer meeting pastor asked us to prayer for aunty nelly as she faces the last few weeks. never really thought it would be this soon. but i believe God has it all in His perfect plan. like cos pastor would be away in india for the week. and if she passes away then, he wouldnt be back in time for the vigil and all. pastor said he will be speaking on the idea of the valley of death. something no one really looks forward to. i'm glad that aunty nelly knew the Lord and had years of being a blessing to everyone, expressed through her jovial character. i remember going for her husband's vigil long time back in BethanyII, then i just tagged along with my parents, but not time round, more than just tagging.

God has us all in His perfect plan. something i'll be blogging about in my next post. now back to studying.

what is love.

2009-02-18T05:31:00.000-08:00

What is Love?

found this funny/cute/weird video through another video in relation to Vday.
recently found out that my exams will be on the first week of march.
good and bad though.
good cos it's at least 2weeks before family camp. got time to prepare.
bad cos it means i've really got to start preparations, it's only less than 2weeks.
the exam craze is here again.

Valentine's day.

2009-02-13T22:08:00.000-08:00

it's VALENTINE'S DAY or SINGLES AWARENESS DAY!

the day was originally a pagan festival that was renamed after two Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

a day of over-priced roses and chocolate. lol.

random doodle.

the song

'How Deep Is Your Love'

by the Beegees keeps playing in my mind.

a nice sweet valentine's day song.

''I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch my hand in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

Chorus:
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Verse 2:
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest night
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love''

have been trying to eat healthy this week. just so happened the chunk i took out looks like a heart-shape.

Going to watch the curious case of benjamin button today. the plot sounds awesome. 8.5 stars out of 10 on IMDB
On the day that Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, elderly Daisy Williams nee Fuller is on her deathbed in a New Orleans hospital. At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. Daisy asks Caroline to read to her aloud the diary of Daisy's lifelong friend, Benjamin Button. Benjamin's diary recounts his entire extraordinary life, the primary unusual aspect of which was his aging backwards, being born an old man who was diagnosed with several aged diseases at birth and thus given little chance of survival, but who does survive and gets younger with time. Abandoned by his biological father, Thomas Button, after Benjamin's biological mother died in childbirth, Benjamin was raised by Queenie, a black woman and caregiver at a seniors home. Daisy's grandmother was a resident at that home, which is where she first met Benjamin. Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they finally match up. Some of the revelations in Benjamin's diary are difficult for Caroline to read, especially as it relates to the time past this reconnection between Benjamin and Daisy, when Daisy gets older and Benjamin grows younger into his childhood years.

at first i had my own theory that since he's reverse aging. then he would become a foetus and reverse and die. but i heard it didnt end that way. well i'll see later on tonight.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

anyway, the last paper, Managing Human Resource, was alright after all.

the night before couldnt sleep, too unsound a mind. felt really really unprepared, paniced like hell.

wanted to get up early to study further, but due to the disrupted sleep i woke up at 12.30 for lunch.

left off for school quickly but the bus took so long. 'NNOOOOOOOO! *playing untitled chorus lyrics in my mind*' tried to make up for the studying on that hour ride, rj called with made me more tense. (why rach why?! wrong timing girl.)

paper began at 2.15. arrived at HQ on time. dashed to the hall in a cool manner, entered at 2.20.

flipped to the essay page, there i was, shirt wet like anything, heart thumpping, read the question, then PHEW!!! what i read on the bus was what was being asked in qn1.

scored 1 our of 5, yeah ownage.

really really thankful XD

everything was handle-able, could finish 3/4 of it. 1/4 was foreign to me, think i missed that out, hai last minute...

now i'm panicing for tmr's Marketing. this sem exam has been SIAO! dont know if i'll be prepared for tuesday's Managerial Accounting. fingers crossed and trust in the Lord.

have been making up for my exercising by cycling to church to study, 30min ride.

Goodbye Erica Hann..HOOORAY!

It's true, no, she didnt die. But sources confirm that Brooke Smith, who plays Dr. Erica Hahn (a doctor who recently realized she is gay), has been axed from Grey's Anatomy. This is awesome, I didnt like this charater from the begining, plus with the addition of the lesbo twist, it made it all worse. So glad that she's off the show for good, or maybe less of a regular. YES! seriously.

Simple Plan - Untitled

I open my eyes

I try to see but I'm blinded

By the white light

I can't remember how

I can't remember whyI'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain

And I can't make it go away

No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me?

I made my mistakes

Got no where to run

The night goes on

As I'm fading awayI'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me?

Everybody's screaming

I try to make a sound

But no one hears me

I'm slipping off the edge

I'm hanging by a thread

I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto

A time when nothing mattered

And I can't explain what happened

And I can't erase the things that I've done

No I can't

How could this happen to me?

I made my mistakes

Got no where to run

The night goes on

As I'm fading away

I'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me?

I've made my mistakes

Got no where to run

The night goes onAs I'm fading away

I'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me?

when you're down in the dumps, feeling all emo.

this song will really speak to your heart. hai.

life must still go one.

this only happens when you're so darn fast! haha

'I Am Become Death, the destroyer of both worlds.'
this quote was from a Hindu scripture.
However this line was used to describe the Trinity Nuclear Test back in 1945.
It's so cool how HEROES gives generic titles to their episodes, but as seen in the above pic, a nuclear explosion by our Head-slicer, Sylar.
I loved that episode, 'I am become death', ep4. made me walk away feeling so awesome and powerful.

Now here is my little sketch from space. LOL! the explosion.
drafting reports can be real boring you know.. cant wait for tmr's episode. 'Angels and Monsters'

have been doing some notes of encouragement to the A and O levelers with rach.
cool cards, and little aeroplane/winged-ant like clips with their names on it.

Naturally 7 -Wall of Sound

check out this cool bunch. amazing.
A video of "Vocal Play" group Naturally 7 creating their "Wall of Sound" with vocal play. Everything you hear is the human voice! No instruments are used. A loop pedal is used to loop some sounds like hand claps.

'..to be identified with..'

WALL-E.

2008-09-03T10:06:00.000-07:00

WALL-E.

WALL-E Trailer recut to Dashboard Confessional's Stolen.
awesome.

FYI it's pronounced as 'wallie'. really loved it. i would say there's only 30mins out of the 88mins were verbal ones. the rest were just sounds made by the robots and the roach, yupp a 'karchuah'.

this little dirty robot is so adorable, indeed a loser in love. things people do when their in love, or should i say robot. even going the distance, into space, to be with his, futuristic,first crush, metalic white Eve, who packs a punch with her arm blaster. but at the end of the day, he just wants to hold her hand. awww

it also shows the ugly side of what technology can do to humans. the unique use of sound effects to make wallie's voice was so good that i made it my handphone msg alert tone. i wonder if they have wallie lego products...

anyway all in all, i have one last paper on friday, business statistics which sums up my sem2 in SIM. wow. all the best SIMates(:

straight teeth finally

2008-08-18T01:09:00.000-07:00

WOW LIKE FINALLY! 14th AUGUST

i was so excited i just had to proclaim it all over, on msn and even on facebook.
'no more metal. spacious mouth'. i still cant believe it's finally over. and the funny thing is, 2years ago, the 14th aug i had my braces put on. and coincidenally this year the 14th aug, i had it removed. it was planned. haha looking at that first pic dated back then, i was stunned. haha. it's so cool i tell you. now i can really say i and my braces on for EXACTLY 2years. haha

but now with retainers on, it a burden. sigh. can do hi hats properly, i've got to work on that i guess. makes me happy whenever i compare those photos. haha

BIONICLE. so cool. the vehicle looking one is really big, like one arms length long. awesomeness. the detail and preciseness, like i bet it took like engineers to come out with the gears and framework.

met up with Mel, Gen and Ben for sushi buffet. haha. had fun catching up. and this first picture looks really wacked cos we were using the conveyer belt to take a pic using the timer of 10sec. haha. and finally asking the waitress to help us take a pic. haha. good times.

A picture of dalson drawing his own hand drawing. haha

FIRMLY COMMITTED
by Bethany's Combine Choir.
pe-anniversary song. mark as videographer and some funny parts like camille's face.

You Are
by Youth Choir.

'You are' appears so many times. I believe the reason for the countless number is that indeed He so great and He is everything. I like the part 'You are every question's answer'. Somehow I look at this from this angle. Whenever thing aren't going your way, you will keep question God, 'why this and why that'. He knows why, but doesnt reveal it to us just yet, because we aren't ready enough to get it. Only through growing in understanding and revelation will we be able to see the reasons.

'You are holy, You are faithful,
You are Savior, You are friend.
You are all I'll ever need, Lord You are.

You are every question's answer,
You are every reason why.
You are moving, You are still, You are

Chorus
You are the Lord on high,
You are the Way, the Truth, the life.
You are the Word made flesh;
You are the Bright Morning Star.
Lord, You are.

You are ''Glory, hallelujah'';
You are hope of peace on earth.
You are Alpha and Omega, You are.

You are comfort, You are refuge,
You are love, personified.
You are kindness and compassion, You are.

Chorus

You are holy, You are faithful,
You are Savior, You are friend.
You are all I'll ever need, Lord You are.

You are ''Glory, hallelujah'';
You are hope of peace on earth.
You are Alpha and Omega, You are.

Chorus

You are ''Glory, hallelujah'';
You are hope of peace on earth.
You are Alpha and Omega, You are.

Chorus

You are my God and my King,
You are the word that I sing,
You are the reason I make this offering.

You are my God and my King,
You are the word that I sing,
You are the reason I make this offering.

You are the Bright Morning Star.
You are,
You are.'

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE AND OLI! (belated and reason for red fonts)

the above video is this years Nátional Day theme song, 'Shine for Singapore'. though some people dont really like the song, i really like the clips shown in it. Like the ordinary newspaper uncle running up flights of stairs to deliver papers every morning, and the next thing he's doing is participating in a vertical marathon. how cool. and like a little girl just colouring sheets of paper red. sadly the teacher and parents dont see the big picture, literally. and thinks she's mentally unsound. but soon they see what's she's doing. really sweet. and afew more clips that are really cool and sweet.

this picture was from the NDP'08. well i didnt take it. but yeah, it was done by the black knights, i think that's what their called, aka jet planes. really cool air show. the heart represents their affection for Singapore. oh and rach, i didnt get a chance to get my hands on those NDP goodie bags, so cant send to you. haha. but heard their the recycled kind of bags, like the ones at borders kind. enviromentally friendly i guess.

my family being pariotic, hanging the Singapore flag. i'm proud to be a Singaporean, though the education system is wacked and standard of living is getting costly. But it's a safe and well governed place. I feel blessed and thankful, and in return, serving the nation next year. that picture was taken like when i was 14 or 15, school's NDParade, being one of the better contingent in school, we were the invited to be the guard of honour. wonderful experience.

5th of August, my olivia's birthday. brought my family to Han's, first time taking my family for dinner. after dinner we went to Swenson's for icecream, that was when my sibs and i got that picture taken, if it's your birthday, you get a free firehouse and a picutre. haha. so my bro and i got our own individual icecream. like usual my brother couldnt finish, we warned him, so my mum had to finish it up. tsktsk.

my waffle & blueberry icecream, like what hiro nakamura would say,

'WAFFLES, WOOOHOO!'.

got her a mug too, really cute. i see as 'love will save the day'.

lion. wonderwall. jacob cheese

2008-07-31T04:24:00.000-07:00

one of those 'AWWWWW moments'

recieved an email the other day, wow. this video brought tears to my eyes, tears of joy. ever since a young age i was in love with animals. being brought to the zoo everyday made me wanted to be a zookeeper or even a zoologist. but it all went away when the reality of things struck me when i was in pri 5. now it's all working towards the financing sector.

okay check this out, i made this one morning. i woke up really hungry on day and there wasnt anything in the kitchen. i'm sure one growing kid, cos a packet of milk isnt enough. so i decided to whip something up. i love to experiement when it comes to cooking. i've done many crazy edibles, like spreading BLACKPEPPER SAUCE on a slice of bread and even frying an egg with STRAWBERRY SAUCE(which was meant for icecream). if you have a strong tummy, then i guess you're safe. otherwise, straight to the loo. haha.

My CC Recipe (cracker and cheese)

1 jacob's cream cracker

1 slice of cheese

1 teaspoon of sugar

an oven

shread the cheese, about 2cm by 7cm.
place the cheese within the cracker's perimeter, you may stack them.
add sugar, you may put some under the layers of cheese if you please.
throw it into the oven for..i'm not too sure, i didnt take note of the time. i took it out when it seemed done. okay lets say about 5min.
let it cool for awhile. i sure learnt the hard way.

and there you have it, a CC snack. haha

inspired by SUPERMAN RETURNS. haha

i hope this post works, it failed the last time.

GOODBYE WAVEY HAIR, HELLO STRAIGHT TEETH!

2008-07-21T00:17:00.000-07:00

GOODBYE WAVEY HAIR, HELLO STRAIGHT TEETH!

okay finally found the time to blog.

first up, rach's farewell.

everyone is slowly leaving to study overseas. I bet it would be a good experience, and also a journey of self discovery. the batch of 1990s did her a 'webpage' that you can visit without the internet. haha. cos we couldnt find a domain to host the site. so yeah we sent her the file without it up online. if anyone wants it, go ask matt, he has the burnt cd, or i can share it with you with 'sharing folder'.

Filled with short notes of encouragement and verses, the webpage was created with the purpose to bring comfort, encouragement and love to her over in that foreign land. i really hope it did. filled with familiar faces and arranged in alphabetical order, by clicking on the face of your choice will lead you to their message. HOW COOL RIGHT! nigel's the pro sia!

and personlly, i did up a photo frame and a mixtape (okay more like mixCD.) i went to get 2 wooden photoframes and joined it together with a hinge i got from spotlight, i didnt realise screwing it on could be hard work. then i pasted the pics on and wrote stuff on the borders of the frames. so it looks like a book now. so you can like open it and close it thanks to the power of the hinge.
and behind the frames i pasted the mixCD's playlist (screenshot of itunes) and on the other was a little note for her, made up with the songtitles from the songs i chose in the playlist. i really love it. i wish it was for myself :P haha. now i understand why people say making your own card bets buying one. and one line in the note i really liked was,
'it's like How Six Songs Collide, a jumble of randomness but in perfect flow'.
hope she did what i told her to, to put the photo frame next to her bedside, so we'll bring joy to her every morning when she looks at it. haha. i hope. WE MISS YOU RASCAL!

so the night after she left, we CELEBRATED! haha. okay not really. we went to chill at sher's place to finish up the chips and drink we left from the farewell party. we to dabao dinner from kovan then went to sher's place to watch 'V for Vendetta'. such an awesome show that makes you think alot. like LOST like that, but this is more ZHAI!

the 'SURPRISE' farewell party. yeah. it was suppose to be a SURPRISE! haha. but it still went on really well. nigel made bbq stringray, i helped, turned out really good. and many more dishes were made by ben and sher. good food. glad everything was according to plan. until it came to rach. it was suppose to be a surprise! sher was suppose to call someone to notify us that she and rach were walking towards the house, and then we would hid. and jump out and say, 'SURPRISE!'. but it was gone when sher smsed shiwen instead, shiwen didnt check her phone cos we were getting ready and all. until we saw rach walking down the road. and everyone like paniced and ducked and crawled to our hidding place. it was quite a funny sight. haha. it's like when there's a explosion and everyone is scampering away. that was how it looked like. haha. planned to sing 'WHY', but didnt cos it was quite inappropriate.

oh. and shiyun bough KRISPY KREAM DOUGHNUTS all the way from melbourne. WOW, it was heavenly man. didnt think it was that fantastic when people bragged about it. but really, the awesomeness i tell you.

angela's concert at the esplanade, 'Singapore National Youth Orchastra Concert'. really good performace. can put you to sleep know. that's how good. please, there is no tinge of sacasm, really. went with josh charles and joe. met sam chu ame and geof there. had good seats. like along the at the side. like those VIP seats in the movies. haha. mrs S.R. Nathan was there, singapore's first lady.haha. joe kept calling her 'mama nathan'. so mean.

My Beano friend look-alike. haha.

to end my post, the following pic is hilarious. haha. LOL! only if your smart enough to see it. :P

the month of june

2008-06-15T10:27:00.000-07:00

All my bags are packed and ready to go

this show has been on air for a pretty long time. some of you may be wondering why this show about a plane crash took up to about 4 seasons and still going to 5. but somehow if you really follow the show episode to episode, you can slowly see the story unravel and fall in place perfectly. i was almost at the brink of giving up on this show. like feeling it started be all draggy and complicated. but right now as you see things all fall into place, it reminds me greatly about the master plan He has planned out for us. right now we dont see the picture, but somehow it will sooner or later fall perfectly in place. and we will have on of those 'aha!' moments. i felt so enlightened when i could finally understand the plot, whatmore the reality of things.

the goldfish i bought for my mum for mother's day has been acting weird lately. it has been surfacing too often and occasionally floated on its back. it got me alittle worried. and white fugus seen to be growing on the tips of its fins. i expected it to die within a few hours of captivity. but somehow with alittle salt and medicine. it was all well and swimming around its tub normally in a matter of hours. the recovery amazed me and i was all euphoric.

my week was filled with 2 movies and a sunday school class outing to SETTLERS. really loved
KUNGFU PANDA. somehow everytime they pronounced the turtle master's name it made me giggle. i wonder how they generate such names. it's a direct use of turtle in mandarin.
yes, it's wu gui. so they call the master turtle, 'MASTER OOGWAY' it's so hilarious when you hear it with a tinge of accent. and it's so cool with all the kungfu stars and actors like jackie chan and lucy liu and jack black casting their voice for the charaters, that used to be my dream job back in my primary school days. haha. and the INCREDIBLE HULK. wasnt that bad, more action this time. but i'll always remember matthew's pronunciation, 'incredible HUK' HAHA, wait till you hear him say Keanu Reeves.

and lastly, a visit to one of Seletar's fish farms. the extreme gap of prices of fish in contrast to the average fish shops all around singapore. it's like half the price. and mind you, the quality is awesomely good. my next favorite hang out spot to go to. haha. and my goods, spent about a hundred bucks on those. but it's going to be worth. you got to appreciate it to enjoy it. it's really therapeutic.

and yesterday my brother came up to me with a really weird catch phrase.
'you can pick your friends,
you can pick your nose,
but you cant pick your friend's nose'
wonder what they teach kids on tv now adays O.o

entering battle tmr, JUNIOR CAMP. it's going to be tough, but i know i'll be able to pull through not on my own but with strength from above. going to be in-charge of one game during games, hope i will go smoothly, it's a brand new experience for me.
post something when i get back alive. HOPEFULLY! haha

the month of may

2008-06-03T00:18:00.000-07:00

ít's been a while..
finally i've got time on my hands and ready to blog something. for the past month many 'blog-able' stuff have occured. like the 'Iron Man' movie i took my brother out to, may 1st, the day it wacked the local cinemas. it was a really cool show with scenes making you literally say,
'wa cool man!'. however with a brother with so many questions, the action-packed show was disrupted. but all in all, it was a good show, and spending time with my brother was fun.

subsequently, the day after, my 5years, once little, Pangasius hypophthalmus was last seen floating on the surface of its 12-inch tank. meaning, the shark catfish died. it was so tragic. haha. okay not really, but since sec1 i've been looking after it like someone would do for a puppy. it was my pride and joy to rear it. taking up one tank by itself due to the fact it gobles anything swimming within its reach, my dad always threatens to cook it. suprisingly it's served in resturants. but i cant bear to eat my own pet. no way.

before and after..

somehow during the week i had to sew my pair of jeans, an attempt after so many year since home econs. haha. but i managed to stitch up the openning. not bad right. kinda untidy though..

also wíth the helping of josh concentrate in his studies, i borrowed his psp, taking away all distractions. and also for entertaining myself on the 45mins journey to school each day. i managed to complete '300:the march to Glory' in 10days, including the fact my brother restarted the game when i was 1/3 done. technology is so cool. and during breaks i can go online with it. way cool. that's why i got one yesterday. haha.

<<<300

MINE! >>cool cookies theme

then came mother's day.
got my mum 5 beautiful lionhead goldfish. they are really adorable.

a card i arrowed to the tank.>>>

you know it has been an interesting experience for me in SIM. besides the freedom in school. but having classmates who can legally drive. how cool is that. haha. the benefits of being their friends. eh not that i befriend them because they can drive, i'm not that horrible. haha. but you get frequent lifts out to the bus-stop etc.
it's nerve recking sometimes. like once, charles wong, being legal for a month drove me out to the bus-stop. he warned me though. but i was like, how bad can he be right. haha. it was a safe trip out.
so when i get getting out of the car (one foot out already). VROOOM..
then i was like, 'eh eh! i'm not out yet'. haha he felt so guilty. he said he was so pleased with himself for driving out safely he forgot i was in the car. haha. what an experience, really.

and lastly, i went to print 2 tee-shirts with yuwen about 2weeks back. mine was in relation to HEROES. if you can tell.

this concludes my month of may. hope i can blog soon. it's so fun. haha. seeya(:

XOXO

'The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath

Emeralds from mountains thrust towardsthe sky

Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of loveI'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll Be your cryin' shoulder

I'll Be love suicide

I'll Be better when I'm older

I'll Be the greatest fan of your life..'

I'll be by Edwin Mccain.

emo pic. there is a hope for every man

2007-09-11T12:09:00.000-07:00

emo pic. but there is a hope for every man(:

Every Man-Casting Crowns
I'm the man with all I've wanted
All the toys and playing games
I am the one who pours your coffee
Corner booth each Saturday

I am your daughter's favorite teacher
I'm the leader of the band
I sit behind you in the bleachers
I am every man

I'm the coach of every winning team
And still a loser in my mind
I am the soldier in the airport
Facing giants one more time

I am the woman shamed and haunted
By the cry of unborn life
I am every broken man
Nervous child, lonely wife

Is there hope for every man?
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
Is there hope for every man?

Is there love that never dies
Is there peace in troubled times
Someone help me understand
Is there hope for every man?

It seems there's just so many roads to travel
It's hard to tell where they will lead
My life is scarred, my dreams unravelled
Now I am scared to take the lead

If I could find someone to follow
Who knows my pain and feels the way
The uncertainty of my tomorrow
The guilt and pain of yesterday

Is there hope for every man?
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
Is there hope for every man?

Is there love that never dies
Is there peace in troubled times
Someone help me understand
Is there hope for every man?

There is hope for every man
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
There is hope for every man

There is love that never dies
There is peace in troubled times
Will we help them understand
Jesus is hope for every man

There is hope for every man
A solid place where we can stand
In this dry and weary land
There is hope for every man

There is love that never dies
There is peace in troubled times
Will we help them understand
Jesus is hope for every man

2007-08-13T05:35:00.000-07:00

drew this picture while testing out my highlighter(: it calms my soul

each time i look at it. haha

reminds me of Hebrews 12: 1-2

'Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...'

thank you Lord for Your hand of blessing in our chairing((:

crazy game.

2007-07-25T08:04:00.000-07:00

this game is crazy, saw it on zhihui's blog. can die playing, but it's kinda fun, lame fun that is. i made it to the 55th level. haha. you got to play with friends. Make a team, you need more than one brain to work this. HAHA. enjoy(:

The Impossible Quiz

++++++++++
well today in school my teacher told us that a friend of some of us had committed suicide yesterday. you know when you hear news of people you know passing.

you just cant believe your ears.

by recess the news spread through out the school. along corridors and stairwells,

you can see people crying.

the thought of how fragile life is dwelled in my mine throughout the day.

the scray thing is that when i was going for lunch on friday. i saw him,

and the both of us went out of the school together.

even though we didnt have long conversations,

i saw him a pal and a change dude.

in sec1 he was a rebellious kid, sent to some military boot camp, came out changed and

felt that acting beng isnt that cool anymore. eventhough he still have alittle in him, he stopped causing trouble in school.

he's a nice guy, never knew it would end like that.

''I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

A vapor in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am Yours''

Who am I - casting crowns

this song came to mind, life is really fragile, just like vapor,

our lives are insignificant to the Lord, like 'nothing of nothing-ness',

like dust. but we still mean alot in His sight.

And the thought of Heaven came to mind,

what of we aren't save, and not be allowed through the pearly gates, its really scary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the pics taken from the bethany's 70 bus stop.

the moon and the s'pore flag. the lights of the S'pore. what would we do without LIGHT.

the flag again but the cross at the background, it under going painting.

You Would Choose Love

Money may buy a little happiness, but not the happiness of true love.
You rather have a true soulmate than a private jet.
And while many people may claim they would choose love too...
You're one of the few who would really do it.

Would You Choose Love or Money?

YAY!! it's out guess what i finish reading the book. it's really good, there is a twist to it.

you know harry doesnt die, and 'you know who', voldemort, he's harry's real dad. it goes like, 'harry, i am your father'. then harry kills him.

HAHA. okay dont spoil it for you. i didnt even read it la. haha. i didnt even buy it. but yea yuwen and joyce nuts abt it. haha. giggles.

okay seeya guys around.

the test.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

crap la. there must be some error somewhere.

Are You Rock, Paper, or Scissors?

You Are Paper

Crafty and creative, you are able to adapt freely to almost any situation.
People tend to underestimate you, unless they've truly seen what you are capable of.
Deep down, you're always scheming and thinking up new plans. Your mind is constantly active.
You are quite capable of anything you dream of. You can always figure out a way to get what you want.

You can wrap a rock person up in your sheet of trickery.

A scissor person can sneak up and cut you to pieces.

When you fight: No one can anticipate your next move

If someone makes you mad: You'll attack them mercilessly when they're unprepared

Are You Rock, Paper, or Scissors?

Kind of Pet Would You Be?

You Would Be a Pet Dog

You're friendly, loyal, and an all around good sport. People love to be near you.You are very open with your feelings, and you're quite vocal in expressing them.You are sincere and kind. You love many people - without any sort of agenda.
Why you would make a great pet: You're content to chill out with your friends
Why you would make a bad pet: You always find yourself getting into trouble
What you would love about being a dog: Running around and playing
What you would hate about being a dog: Being left home alone while everyone else is out having fun

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

junoir camp'07

2007-07-01T08:48:00.000-07:00

JUNIOR CAMP!!

(theme: walking in the light.)

what an experience to be serving at camp this year. so glad i was given a chance to serve full time,

only had to go back on tuesday for some Emath mock test. which turned out okay after all.

it was rather different compared to last's years one. like being one of the oldest. and also being

in-charge of a helpers group. along side jinglin, who really did most of the instucting. thanks(:

well i expected the whole camp to be a really tiring one. like grabbing all the chance i could to sleep.

BUT NO. i didnt seem to feel sleepy at all. amazing huh.

an average full camp time-table for the helpers went like this.

waking up at 6.15(well for some of us. like joel lee had to wake qingyang and i twice

to make sure we got up)

followed by washing up and quiet time.

and at 7.00 we helpers met pastor for our morning session which i think really help start our day on a right note. also providing strength for the day ahead. which explained the 'non-tiredness'.

wow. feeling the strength of GOD at work. we also met him at night. to also end the day well with him.

then after which we had to prepare and serve for breakfast. wash up for that.

prepare and serve for tea, wash up for that.

prepare and serve for lunch.wash up for that.

but thank God we were broken up in 4 groups so we didnt have to do all the things.

also for afternoon tea and dinner. and supper if there was.

sometimes we got to help prepare for GAMES. which was a really fun time. especially water games. boy it was great(:

the sketch too was awesome. WHOO. the actors were real FUNNY. wahahaha! funny.

some of us got to do 'babysitting duty'.

joel qingyang and i got a chance to take of the 3rd floor audi boys.

boy. they are one handful of boys. especial...i wont name any. but yea. there were pri3, pri6. pri 1 boys had to go home. couldnt stay the night. i think the officers scared they pee at night. haha

it was quiet experience. like there were boys who called me TEACHER. haha wow. feel so honoured sia.

there was once geoffery told amos a ghost story. he was really scared.

amos: teacher joel, i wanna go toilet.

joel: okay. go la.

amos: i'm scared can follow me.

then after that he got me to sit next to him until he fell asleep. see people feel secured around me. haha

another funny case was nick(pri4, really smart. egg shape head.)

sam chu was looking after boas cos he apparently 'split' some glowstick liquid into his mouth

(which now some all him 'GLOW bo').

so sam laid next to him.

so joel qingyang and i did our 'babysitting'.

after everyone was almost asleepy. abt 2225hours. we left for our clean up duties.

then smart nick sat up. looked around.

nick: hey guys the teachers went down already liao!

sam(deep loud low voice):oi! i'm still here.

nick: oh. sorry.

haha so funny. he sure got a fright of his life. didnt realize sam was lying there. HAHA.

there was another one forgot his name though. think it's keith, kinda talkative too.

keith: teacher, how come you can sleep so late. and we cant. not fair

nat: oh. we dont want to sleep late you know. we too want to sleep now.

keith: then sleep la.

nat: cant. you see we got to clean up downstairs later.

keith: can i help?

nat: yeah sure. you help clean up at junior camp when you're older. now go and sleep.

(words of wisdom man. haha)

then we make our way down for clean up.

usually after supper,we would like clean up the place for the next day.

like some will finish washing the pots and pans. some will do the fellowship hall.

for joel qingyang and i, we'll clear the dustbins, wash them.

bring out the rubbish to the front.

wash the kitchen. which was alittle fun. got the chance to use the super duper water-sucker to dry the kitchen floor. haha.

then shower then sleep at the 3rd audi to watch over the boys.

like a shepherd over a flock of snoring sheep.

man. this camp was really whooo then last year's. like we had to clean drains(eww man.), carry trees from the 4th floor(which scratched the beautiful lift.) and also getting 6hours of sleep all night.

but we helpers sure learned alot. the 12 P's. the P that stood out to me the most was,

POSSIBILITY THINKING.

like dont think it's impossible. like what pastor said.

'you'll be self-ordained prophets. predicting your failure.'

so true. like if you think you cant do well for your studies. sure cannot make it wad.

so thus. i'll cultivate a POSSIBILITY THINKING mind.

i'm going to grab the O's by it's horns and eat it like french fries. yumm(:

we did some singing on the rooftop(joe, ian, shaun, mark, sam(pam's bro) jewel and i.)

maybe it explains why it drizzled. composed a song, but not kiddy enough to perform on special night.

sang on the last day too. in pastor morris's office. new additions, shuyun joyce and ivan.

okay. i know it's been like more then a week since camp. but yeah. it's worth sharing my experience.

i'll post more on the farewell party at char's and sleepover at joanne's. and the TRANSFORMERs movie outing.

nat tan. signing off.

4 happy things in MAY

2007-05-24T00:19:00.000-07:00

TUESDAY.

it was one of the FUN-EST days of the month so far.

FIRST.there was the IPPT. which stands for.. In-Place Protection.. T...

dont know what 'T' stands for. anyway, it was really fun, my class got the computer lab. so there's air con. whoooo. got the chance to tape the windows and build the toilet so

exciting. my friends and i did one with a really cool trash bag curtain.

while others went round with the tape sticking 'SMACK ME' on others. it was really fun. especailly spending your english period in there. i got my

FLASH comic to entertain me((:

which was the

SECOND thing, everyone got to go to the library

to borrow books which will help boost your english.

so therefore i got the comic books, not only does it boost your english,

it enhances your imagination, especially with your compositions.

i got FLASH, FANTASTIC 4 and SUPERMAN.

THIRD thing was getting the chance to watch the premiere SHREK 3.

my brother's buddy won 4tickets for the show. but his parents wasnt free to take him,

plus he was too shy to follow my bro and parents if they brought him. So i got his seat. WOW

it's a really funny show. nice story line. the baby donkey-dragons are really cool & cute.

and suprisingly mr 'sexyback' was one of the voice artist.

that's right justin timberlake was the voice of

Artie. the next in line king of FAR FAR AWAY.

he's really cool. i mean the character. okay justin too.

my mum bought the shrek ears for charity sake.

and a great time, my mum was expexting reporters and camera man to be there.

but to bad, none appeared. the dress code was GREEN.

but not many in the cinema wore that. so wasted.

FORTH was getting to watch the season finale of HEROES *whooo long live HEROES*

it's reall cool.duh

' How to Stop an Exploding man ' that was the title of episode 23.

i was watching it online until the 75% it screwed up. waited in hope that

it was continue, for 30mins i waited. it didnt work. dang.

so i went to google to search for other videos online. at 1am i found one.

finally i got to watch the ending of that episode. it's really good. but really sad too.

cant wait for season 2. 'Generations'. how i wish i had powers.

on thursday i couldnt get up for school. yeah so i didnt go.

anyway it's chinese intensive. dont really have to go. cos i'm not taking the paper.

no lost. just self-study in the library.

June holidays coming up. but i got school still. sian. got to really study for the whole month.

but i'm looking forward to serve at Junior camp.

'Walking in the Light' that's the theme.

so happy i got a chance to post. whooo!!

seeya around guys(:

on MONDAY

i woke up really cheerful, i've never been so cheerful in the morning for so long. maybe because i turned in early the night before. but yeah. so happy((: i was singing on the way to school.

'I Stand In Awe'
You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words,
Too wonderful for comprehension,
Like nothing ever seen or heard.
Who can grasp your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depth of your love?
You are beautiful beyond description,
Majesty enthroned above.

And I stand, I stand, in awe of you.
I stand, I stand in awe of you.
Holy God, to whom all praise is due,
I stand In awe of you.

that was my praise for the day.

then i sat for my Social Studies paper. followed by the Accounts one. it was do-able.

+++++++++++++

on TUESDAY

my combine science papers both physics/chem. physics was horrible, i didnt put in the effort to memorise the formulas, but chem was alright. studied at church after that. shaun ou's mum bought us duck rice(yumyum) and at night i watched HEROES episode21. i was alright, really cool(like always duh.) cant wait for more. addicted already. booyah.

++++++++++++

on WEDNESDAY

there came my geography and my Accounts MCQ, which was really really tricky, but manage to pull through. then came home, fell asleep from 1 to 5. went to my gramps place for dinner, cos my uncle came back from the States.

easter!

2007-04-15T08:24:00.000-07:00

EASTER!
hey. easter week has already passed like one week ago. but i just got to post something about it. really have to. something really important in my life. WELL. this easter was alittle different for me. cos INSTEAD of dancing like last year and which was really really tiring. i got a chance to sing too. it was tiring in a way, like coming back during the week and all. but worth it. really funn(:
and also after watching Passion of the Christ. i had a greater appreciation for my salvation. like seeing how much HE had to go through. really a GREAT sacrifice. seeing all the pain HE went through, but like the story today at service. about a man and the geese(is the spelling correct?)
but it's a really practical story that i can understand and get.
EASTER lunch was awesome. the choir( ONE voice and youth choir) sang.'now is the time to worship'. which wasn't the ordinary one. like a medley. which was really HIGH. even for us bases. phew. but yeah. the most shocking thing is that JOEL CHIN said he was going to serve full time. full time as in PASTOR. not cleanning crew hello.
but over all. it's really been a great easter. proud to be from BETHANYipc. i must not take this forgrunted.
the song today 'I Will Arise'. brought comfort. easter should be like christmas. haha. okay pics yeah. got alot to show. haha. give me afew more days k.

a preview.
MORE COMING SOON...

2007-04-04T06:42:00.001-07:00

AAAAHHH! 23rd april. okay. i've updated my blog. sherlyn dont say i never hor:P haha. cant wait for easter *bounce bounce* okay. i should go sleep now*yawn* seeya guys soon(:

Heroes.

2007-03-09T18:24:00.001-08:00

'HEROES'

follows the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

From creator/writer Tim Kring comes "Heroes", an epic drama that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

As a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, a genetics professor in India is led by father's disappearance to uncover a secret theory -- there are people with super powers living among us.

A young dreamer tries to convince his politician brother that he can FLY. A high school cheerleader learns that she is TOTALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE. A Las Vegas stripper, struggling to make ends meet to support her young son, discovers that her MIRROR IMAGE HAS A SECRET. A fugitive from justice continues to baffle authorities who twice have been unable to contain him, he can WALK THROUGH WALLS. A gifted artist, whose drug addiction is destroying his life and relationship with his girlfriend, can PAINT THE FUTURE. A down-on-his-luck Los Angeles beat cop CAN HEAR PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS, which puts him on the trail of an elusive serial killer. In Japan, a young man develops A WAY TO STOP TIME through sheer will power. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…

this is my New favourite show, well Prison Break Season 2 getting kinda boring compared to HEROES.wow. it's so cool. it would be cool to have Hiro Nakamura's powers, the ability to pierce the space-time continuum and move back in time and forward. But isnt that like 'playing-God'. yeah. so it isnt that good after all. But Hiro is my HERO.YAY!
well now i'm on episode 18, yeah. well i download the show cos i dont have cable tv see, so i've got no choice :P it's not my fault.haha

well going for family camp later tonight. you will think it's an error in this but yeah, i am going tonight. cos my dad has to do the room arrangements for the camp tmr. yeah. so see you guys soon. i'll be away at FAMILY CAMP. so here is a post to entertain and brighten your lives.haha. i'll be gone for a week. back on friday evening. bye(:

Jesse Mccartney - Just So You Know Lyrics

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

[Chorus:]
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

[Chorus]

This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here

[Chorus]

haha

1st day at school

2007-01-03T00:32:00.000-08:00

the FIRST DAY at SCHOOL.

the first day of school was rather slack, the teachers just talked to us and trying to prepare our minds for the huge jump made from sec4NA to sec5, making sure we are really commited to studying our ass out, well i'm sure i am. and both my class, 4C and 4 B had to merge, due to the small number of students, cos like half of them went to ITE, could not make it to sec5. sad):

And also today, i had to take one sec1 class around the school, like a tour, they are quite a quiet bunch, well for now at least.haha

well had a mass meeting for the student councilors to find out how was their first day, not much comments though, everyone so sleepy, i'm going to take a nap now, haha. but wait i got cool pictures taken about 10years ago.haha

look what has happened through out the years. we've become cuter!haha

here is a link to the photos to sherlyn's sleepover and some pics of the sleepover at joanne's. alot of crap.haha. upload the rest of joanne's sleepover when i come back from my sec1 orientation camp.http://picasaweb.google.com/Nathanaeltbk

new year

2007-01-01T21:18:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

this is a video done for the perth teens over in Bethel ipc(:
To the Bethel teens, with lots of love.

this year for me will be a really challanging one, especailly with the O's. i pray that i would spend my time wisely, spreading it out for everything, especially church, i dont want to stop coming because i want to study, it might just become an excuse in the future. well may the Lord guide me in His footsteps, and you too. haha. reminds me of the footprints in the sand poem.

haha.

we had a 2 sleep overs this december holiday, first one at sherlyn's and the other at joanne's. both were really fun, haha, batch sleepovers are crazy, you get to eat lots of junk food, sleep at really funny times of the morning like 6am and also do silly stuff like watch the 'Break up'.haha

there's something wrong with the uploading of the photos. i'll try some other time. haha
Have fun at school guys(:

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

Lord I offer You my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.
Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for your Glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.

Lord, I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for your
GloryLord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice

What can we give that You have not given
What do we have that is not already yours
All we possess are these lives we're living
And that's what we give to you Lord

Teddy Geiger -
Love Is A Marathon Lyrics
You love to run
Into the arms Of anyone
Take off your shoes and socks
And stay awhile
You like the adrenaline rush
Just a little too much
You go from day to day
Hand to mouth
And wonder why You're unsatisfied

Chorus
Cause love is a marathon
That's why you get tired so fast of everyone
Slow down and pace yourself
Cause when it's good
It's a long open road
You think still
You'll find a soul behind a thrill
You're just a cat chasing your tail
Round and round
What if you relax
Something might last

[Chorus]

You're exhausted always coming down
Trying to come up for air
Trying to act like you just don't care
La da da, de da da

[Chorus]

youth conference is coming(:

farewell.06

2006-11-23T17:28:00.000-08:00

the Farewell party for the graduating sec4 councilors.
our preparation started on the first week of the school holidays. we had plan to do gifts, a video and a special performance. everything went rather smooth.

and yesterday it was the day itself.
we had to report at 8am to do the finishing touch ups to the video and gifts and to do one final rehearsal.
the performance was made up of:
a stomp performance using tables, chairs, bamboo polls and containers.
next was a duet by lina and i (the start of something new.high school musical)
followed by a dance performance, who call themselves suahchu.it that how you spell it?
and followed by the mass song by all the councilors.We're All In This Together.
and the final one was the exco performance singing 'The way by clay aiken'.
which started at 6.15pm

then the seniors had dinner.
during the dinner we showed a very emotional video done by yingen and i titled 'where our experience lies'. when it came to the video messages part they started crying especially when the bunch of us sec4 na said something which touched their hearts.

then miss ming said her final farewell speach perparing them to face the world and thanking them with certs of a achivements.

then finally all of us(the student council) said out finally goodbyes. with lots of tears and cuddles.
many cried. even the sec1s cried not knowing the seniors at all. amazing.
but i didn't. it does not mean that i wont miss you guys la. i will.

it all ended at 9.30pm after clearing and packing up.
that was my hold day yesterday.
more photos when i get them. if i manage to compress that emotional video, i would post it too.
bye

week.

2006-11-04T05:00:00.000-08:00

this has my favourite song and show. and it really cool.(:

this weeek was full of different emotions.
there was the student council farewell planning which was rather boring and full of new sec1 councilors. who were really not that bad, only a hand full, no names.
but it was in a way quite fun, especially the video.

And guess what on thursday it was the greatest. pastor kennth took the bunch of us(joe charles josh ian andrew lim and i) out to watch 'DOA' dead or alive. the show was not too bad with a simple story line.
and after that when i got home, guess what was on tv.
PRISON BREAK
it's really a cool show like LOST.
it's the real deal.

you got to click the picture,there is some error.
it's PRISON BREAK.

and all the best to those O level people. have fun studying. it's the final lap work hard. we'll be praying(:
got to sleep bye.

Post-exam activites.

2006-10-18T12:50:00.000-07:00

POST-EXAM ACTIVITIES.

this was what i did for the first two days of my activities.
i went for a junoir chef programme instead of the hair styling and learn how to bake stuff like,
blueberry cheese cake, chicken pie, peanut puff pastry, bread bowls and cheese bread sticks.
it was really tiring but fun in some ways.

this is my bread bowl, the chef said it was the best, very well rounded(:

this is my bread bowl with soup, but the bowl was very tough.

this is the blueberry cheese cake. not bad you know.

peanut puff pastry and cheese bread sticks.

chicken pie, before i baked it. it got my initials. 'NT'

this is after i backed it, tasted great with the golden brown crust.

And the following activity was the Sandcastle building
there were 3classes involved then splited into 6 groups each having at lease 11people.
it was held at east coast.
the weather was fine excluding the haze.

Our theme was 'Lord of the Ring'.
it sounds easy right. but NOOOO.

We faced many problems.
one was that the tower we tried to construct kept tummbling like about 3 times. we were so depressed because all the other groups we all ahead of us.
but we pressed on having lots of cuts on our bodies.haha

but finally the castle was completed with a huge wall and a molt. making the castle the biggest among the 5 others.
Plus with my toy soldiers, tanks, ships, starwars droids and a dragon made it really attractive.
and the 3 of us had to present our building which we had to sell, hoping it made the best buy which went smooth. haha
we really had great fun(:
but there was no group winings but they said 'everyone's a winner'. crap la.
haha

a class photo. but this isn't my group's castle.(still waiting for more pics)

Teddy Geiger - For You I Will (Confidence) Lyrics

Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Forgive me if I stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, i've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will

You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would
That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

Here without you

2006-06-29T03:51:00.000-07:00

3 Doors Down - Here Without You Lyrics

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me...

The miles just keep rolling
as the people leave and way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me

Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it's all said and done
it gets hard but it wonâ€™t take away my love

I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me....
yea....
oh yea
oh...

Boys night out'06

2006-06-09T22:54:00.001-07:00

hey
back from the 'Boys Night Out'.
really tired came home with charles today by taxi.

Before that the whole bunch of guys played soccer in the fellowship hall, this is a once in a life time kind of place to play at, we played till we were out of breath, we lost to the other group by 1 goal.

And the most inportant thing is that the whole boy's night out was Great! I will never forget this experience.

I can remember the last night out 3years ago, when i was a short adorable sec1 boy, it was the first Night out in Bethany, one incident i will never forget.

During supper the bunch of us 1990s were having carrot cake and we were about to go out to the roottop garden for vespers and talk about the day which had passed.
AND then some Hero threw the remains of the supper into the dustdin, BUT the plastic bag was not laid, haha, and then the Hero had to crawl into the bin and clear the left-overs. And he really looked funny doing that.

here is the bin. okay now imagine the Hero, who is none other
the Great Matthew Ng! haha

Okay, this years boys night out did not revolve around these funny lame stuff,
BUT
it did revolve many aspects on being a 'Better man'. Well one the first day Pastor Mitch talked about
CHARACTER and with out this we guys or everyone in NOTHING, and like a jellyfish, no backbone.
And example in the Bible was Joseph, we was a great man of character, by being.
- Honest.
- learn to Endure.
- Courage to say 'NO' to temptations.
- and Gracious.

then we had GAMES, everyone was looking forward to that, we had Rounders, HunTum Bola, And the all time favourite Soccer.
We played like mad men since there were no girls around. hah.
But soon it was time to take a shower. We were one of the first, besides ben who said he went to drink water but did not return. haha.

After that we had DINNER, we sure ate out fill, the food was catered, and we enjoyed till weiquan and benQ had no food.haha

Followed after was aother session,
this time Pastor Mitch talked about the BROTHERHOOD. It sure reminded me of the X-men, and Magneto's gang is called that too.
And this brotherhood he talked about was a God-fearing and Christ loving group, where we have a great bond and look out for each other in the christian walk, serving and working together and honoring each other.
We then broke into groups to discuss about how can this be developed,
and the 'golden brown' andrew(thats what he said) took us, i really dont think he is even brown, well allister, jem and i were in one group. We came out with a group having a commom interest and cared for each out.

We had a chance to watch a movie, we watched 'the return of the titans', wonderful show, almost brought tears to my eyes serious, but really funny.
It's about a true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit. Lots of problems,as Coach Boone brought the blacks and whites together as a team as like a Marine Boot Camp but everyone missed the subtlety of this, The first part of boot camp is sure hell but they learn to work together no matter what colour.
And they came in states american football champions and Coach Boone made it work.

After part of the show we had SUPPER it was from teacher elaine and gerald before they get married this Saturday, we had carrotcake and oyster omelett. Great food.
Then we went back to catchup on the second half of the show.

Then sleeping time, the smarter ones went to bed only not sleep(spent an hour talking crap). All started with allister's rumour about his wonderful girlfriend. The other crazy people went to play soccer at B4.
By the time we finish our talk, the smelly sweaty boys came back and took a shower.haha

Day 2, i woke up hearing Mike's voice, he told everyone to wash up and FALL IN downstairs in 15min, so NCC. haha

BREAKFAST was also good, i think all the meals better than YC(youth conference), there was prata and coco crunch. yumyum.
well seperate la not together.

First and last session for the whole night out was all about..
BGR, one great factor in a guys life.
Lets start with. Girls are tough to please and there is no girls in this world that is not demanding(don't blame me, pastor mitch said it).
There are more Cons than Pros in BGR.
Like Time
Emotional Entanglement
Quarrels
PMS(Pre-Marital Sex)
But there are also qualites taught of a girlfriend we should be looking for.
So girls take note.
God-fearing
a women of Character
Virtuous person- noble

And as a closing song, we listened to 'a Better Man' by Robbie Williams.
After this camp, we are to be that man that God made us to be.

Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God?

666

2006-06-07T05:24:00.000-07:00

666

Yesterday was the Date 6june'06. Also known as 666 also known as the Devils number. Because on the 6 day men was created. the Omen came out today, it's movie.

About specifically points to the arrival of the Anti-Christ, who is branded with the numerical sequence '666': the mark of the Beast. The Anti-Christ will receive his power directly from Satan to establish a counterfeit kingdom on earth, signaling the beginning of Armageddon...

Well to day some helpful guys came back today to help sun the matteresses for the Junior Camp, Girls night out and Boys night out. So when you guys sleep, remember us (Josh, Charles, Clement, Allister, Joel, Nick, Ivan, WQ, Gavin and I).

Sunning the mattresses today was quite an Experience.
We reported at 9am, expecting there were more people turning up, i thought it would be an easy job.
But
there were only a handful of us. Like hardworking ants we started, we 1st arranged the tables to lay the matteresses.
Then we started to lay the materesses one by one.
Covering the whole church foyer all the way to the slope near the porch.

Ok la not the whole foyer.
We left the matteresses for about 20minutes, and then the signs started to appear.
One by one it happened.

The sky turns grey as the dark clouds covered the sun.

It got darker and DARKER...

And Darker...

this photo really reminds me of Jesus saying, 'Father, why have you forsaken me'.
Then the sky turned grey, as if they knew the Son of God had died.

And then it started to drizzel.

then all of as rushed down, gathering everything, preventing it to get wet. Imagine sleeping on wet smelly matteresses.eeewww.

tossing the heavy load. the pile of matteresses.

here the strong clement using his head to transport furniture.

and then more signs showed it was coming.

After clearing everything, the presure was getting nick and making him lighter then he already is usual. now that is real light. *sorry nick.

now it really seem it was coming.

more signs. the dying of animals. Which is of the coming of the end of the world. a fallen butterfly.

the sign of hardworking boys, slacking.

look! josh trying to be strong. a sign. he is not being himself.

look that the tall tower of matteresses. really reminds me about 'the princess and the pea'.
joel stacking.
well this is how it started..

Amazing huh.

and it continues.

all the way to the top.

We did many other this besides sunning matteresses.
like cleaning the drains of the roof top garden.

some leaves blocking the drains.
There were much more didn't want to infect you guys.
There were other stuff like black decomposed leaves that looked like un-stired milo served at junior camp.eeew.

Vaccummed B4, it seems like the water will neverever stop flowing out and the world would just drown.
And the Weiquan said maybe the water comes from some dead bodies in the wall and the church was built on a cemetary, and you know they say a death of a person strengthens a building.haha.

shutters.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Well tomorrow is boys night out don't really know what to expect, since the last night out was in 2003 when i was a young immature boy. But now i have, no commemts please.
i'll blog again after the Boys night out:)

2006-05-26T06:24:00.000-07:00

Hey
Could't watch Da Vinci today,

just because I was too YOUNG!!!
Talk about YOUNG, Im onli 6months away from my 16th Birthday.
And I am 16 this year, way cant I watch an NC16 movie.
Haiz...
-chill nat-

ok well,
today i watched Xmen 3-the Last Stand.
I watched it with my schoolmate,
if you are planning to watch it yourself don't read on, i don't want to spoil the movie for you.
haha
Well
it was kinda sad when some good guys died, like Prof. Xavier, Cyclops and Jean Grey.Well dont be suprise cause this movie is the final chapter in the "X-Men" motion picture trilogy.

Since Jean being the most powerful mutant, known as a class 5 mutant. Her hidden powers that prof. X tried to lock up, were broken by Jean herself, killing her boyfriend Cyclops.
And then Prof. X, as he tried to convince her to contol herself and go back with him, to the school.
But she vapourised him in the act. Scarie!
Her mind so powerful that she can turn them to dust.

Having a

CURE

for mutancy, Magneto tried to stop that, but the Xmen stopped his evil league of mutants, it was indeed the last stand. But during that last stand, many mutants lost their

GIFT

as Prof. X use said. But not the good guys.
Especilly Mystique and Magneto, they were homosapiens again, they felt

DEMOTED

in that sence.

And Rogue went for the Cure and was cured for good, now she can touch others without getting them hurt.

Watch the show for more details,like who are their mutants, what are thier powers.
And you got to find out what happen to Jean, how did she die?.

The X-Men, mutant heroes sworn to defend a world that hates and fears them, are back! This time, with the help of new recruits The Beast and Angel, they must face evolution itself in the form of their former teammate, Jean Grey. Possessed with the cosmic power of the Dark Phoenix, the resurrected Jean Grey has become a danger to herself, her mutant comrades, and the entire planet.

Easter'06

2006-04-21T07:59:00.000-07:00

Easter'06

Easter Was Great!
after a week of easter, its like too late to post this post.
haha

For both the concert nights, it was a sucess, even though there were a couple of mistakes done, but we manage to cover it up, I HOPE.
Many said the dancers were great, well it better be, all our effort, time, money for eating out, energy and being very stressed up for the dance.

But all this was done with JOY. Having to perform was great, letting others know what really happen what easter really is. I really hope this concert brought people to Know Him better, and maybe start serving in bethany.

One the 2nd night, i invited 2 student council buddies, Ben and Janice.
They really enjoyed it, they were really suprise i could dance.
Do i look as it i have 2 left feet, come on.
I saw many others from peicai(my school). But i dont think they reconise me.

What i liked about the concert was that, we could wear 'period outfits', so fun, we wore it for the temple scene. We wanted a photo in that, but the outfits was thrown in the wash. Sad.

Well for easter lunch this year, it was the 1st time having 'an easter programme' at shangri la, we usually have it for Christmas.
The youth choir sang 'God's love never changes', it is a song that will stick with me for awhile, having learnt it during my chinese lesson, the teacher almost took it away.phew.

For the lunch, the food at my table was gone within a 'time limit' of 10sec, all the guys just grabed all the food on every dish, but not the mushrooms.haha

I am so glad that my grandma could come, she loves the choir's performance, and says i have grown alot, and i am about the same height as John J. haha.
So proud of myself.

The !99os.

Flu

2006-03-22T20:37:00.000-08:00

Hey back home earlier for the 2nd time this week,
i had to report sick because of my FLU.
On Monday the begining of term 2, where i plan to Begin with JOY
I felt a Flu bug on the way, but i didn't really cares about it and I even went to KFC for lunch.

And the next day at school, I felt it, the irritating itch up my nose, and a slimy substance flows down from your nose..ooo gross...and I could not take the tickling sensation and had could go home, and my teacher wrote me down as 'Nathanael who went to malaysia, came back with Flu', what does malaysia have to do with me going home, man! whats with that teacher.

Anyway I got an M.C. the next day, but I felt much better.

And today I went to school cheerfully not feeling tired at all. And when I stepped into the Student Council room, the 1st comment i got wasn't 'how are you feelng nat' but was 'eh nat, you 'pon' school ah?'. What is with me and 'ponning' school, do i look like that kind of boy who does such acts of desprately not wanting to go to school?!!.
Anyway, during the first 5 periods, my nose kept leaking, and I no choice to buy tissue papper which cost, 30CENTS, so eXpensive.
And after recess I decided to go home to get some rest. And now I am getting some rest.

2006-03-17T23:48:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys We’re Back!

Family Camp in Sofitel Palm Resort was fun,
and I sure learnt a lot,
On the 1st day (12th march),
We had the orientation for camp; there were Groups like Peter (Red), Paul (Yellow), James (Blue) and the group which I am in, John (Green). And during the orientation there was singing and games, games like, who has the, ‘biggest’, ‘widest’, ‘thickest’ and the ‘smallest’.
After which we had the collection of keys for our room, my room was 207 and it was pretty near the ballroom where we would worship, I am so thankful for that, good thing not like Charles and Josh, room 351, so far away.

And on the 2nd day (13th March),
during the morning devotion, we learnt about having deeper faith and how the Lord gives us strength and lightens our heavy laden load or Yoke.
And during the siesta, I played a game of pool and swam for 2hours, and then going for the afternoon session, and my board shorts was really wet. And during all the afternoon sessions we will have a Q&A session and occasionally we would have some snacks, like chips and cakes.
And during the night session we learnt about
‘Significance of the Bible Record’.

And on the next day (14th and 15th March),
We learnt about realizing our Great potential and a relationship with a Disciple and a Teacher, and the attitude of a Disciple. And who are our ‘Human teachers’, like pastors and Sunday School Teachers. And my Vespers leader, teacher Chung Han said ‘If you have someone to look up to or follow after, you will be that someone one day, but if you have nobody to follow after, you will be a NOBODY too’.
And Pastor preached about ‘Suffering for Our Faith’ and ‘The Perfecting of God’s Love’.
And there was a Poolside Special Programme, later is the evening.
1st there was dinner, with all ranges of food, and then it was followed by a performances by all the different groups and one from the new comers.
After the whole event, nigel rach and i went to play a game of pool, where i trashed them flat.

And on Thursday (16th March),
This time for the morning devotion we had a serious topic on ‘Sin’, and being too comfortable with sin till we don’t feel anything. And by conquering sin we have to have these 5 Rs.

*Real Faith
*Regard as a Disciple
*Remain in the Word
*Realize the Truth
*Release from Sin

And the was long topic on ‘Laziness’, and it very wise not to be lazy, but Camille confused all of us by saying, ‘if you are not lazy you will be wise’. But the Bible says many descriptions on a lazy man, in Proverbs. And how laziness is killing yourself and it is suicide.
And everyone has a plan installed for them by God. And by serving and doing the will of God, we can fulfill the plan. And by fulfilling that plan we have to sacrifice a lot in our daily life, and denying oneself.
And there is a difference between a Disciple and an Apostle, it’s like a Student Pastor and a Pastor.
And for Consecration Night, it was on Personal Comprehension of Faith and Ministry. And the Youth Choir members who went sang ‘Lord, whatever you ask’.

And on the last day of camp (17th March),
We had a camp closing programme, the chair persons were Uncle Jacob and George, they were pretty entertaining. And then there was a time for people to share their testimonies, there where 14 people who came up. And as a closing song we sang, ‘Give thanks’. And do you know which team won for Family Camp 2006?
Well John(Green) my group again.

And then we were given time to go pack our bags and check out. And to my horror, Rach and Camille had so many heavy bags to carry, which of course 2 short girls can’t do it, what are in those bags, I wonder? Well now we are all back in Singapore. Hope you didn’t miss us:p

erm...photos later on...no time to upload...

I have not been blogging for the past 3 weeks now,
lets start by saying that this 3 weeks has been a
Busy one, with all the work and things to plan for,
like the recent Student Council Family Day.

But now as I look forward to the church camp, up in JB,malaysia.
This years theme is 'Follow Me' and I bet we have to memorise

Psalm 100

1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD,
all you lands!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us,
and not we ourselves;
We are His people
and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations

And I will be bucking with nigel for the whole of next week,
it may be a big challenge, but I have no choice.
And I am looking forward to know who will be my vespers leader.
As I type this, Josh Lee and I are plannig on what snacks to bring,
haha
Don't try to 'cope' from us, well I am in John(green group).
And on 15th March '06, on that Wednesday night we are encouraged to
wear daring colours, and line dance.

But as this week comes and goes, I will be nearer to my N-level exams.
Teachers are adding preasure, classmates are not yet awake and I
am suffering with the on coming desisions to make.

And tomorrow as I pack for Camp, I hope not to forget anything, and if
anyone from teacher Chee Keen's class read this, please tell him I am in Malaysia,
because my dad has to be there earlier to settle some stuff. I don't wish for
Tr. CK to come after me.

Well can't wait for Friday,we are going to practice for the easter concert.
So enjoy you last week of school, but for those who still have school next week
like allister and matt, I'm sorry. But to cheer you up, remember we people up in Malaysia will be having Lots of fun.

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP AND VALENTINE'S DAY
todays valentine's day was GREAT having people wishing you once you step into the school and heading towards the parade square.
haha
but i only got a chocolate, but it tasted heavenly.And my teacher started a topic for our oral, 'Should Valentine's Day be celebrated?', well I was teased because I gave a real dumb answer, I should not say it. But finally, one nice lesson for the day. And after school the interactive club had some friendship day fair, well it was a business went bad, no one was buying anything, what losers, well to bad for them.

And at night a bunch of Councilors went out for dinner at some country club,
it was my friends TREAT!

AnyWay, we had fun, LOTS OF FUN.

Avalon - Everything To Me Lyrics

Avalon - Everything To Me Lyrics

I grew up in sunday school
I memorized the Golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But i'll never be the same
Because he changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that i'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that he is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
more than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet you saying you've been...

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me
Lord, you're everything to me

Blogged it in Church

Casting Crowns - American Dream Lyrics

All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam
He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family the finer things

Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

And he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

His American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on the rock
Over a castle in the sand
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
