Remember that day when I went to Serangoon Mac to do my PW and I saw Abel? Oh man, Lois was there after her Zhonghua council thingy which I just found out. Serangoon Mac, BAYouth territory. Legend.......
I forgot to mention that Bert gave me the vcds of "The Hunt For Red October" and "Batman Begins" Thanks Mate! I like the storyline of "The Hunt For Red October", that's why my gmail adress is redoctober89.. blah....blah. Anyway Bert was so worried about his lost Papermate pen saying that it was of sentimental value, whatever, ok just hope he finds it. AND I DID NOT TAKE IT, DON'T BLAME THE BOYS OR GB GIRLS. ARGH

Exactly one week to the start of the exams. Anyway, I went to J8 today to have lunch with Moses, Mike and Leon. We went to the food court to eat and discuss about topics that can be used for Leader's training. We stayed and then went to Christofori music school next door to check out some guitars. Then we went to Life book store. Jin Hao, Yong Huan and Yuan Ting came to look for me. I initially wanted to borrow notes from Jin Hao but had to rush off for BB. I went to St. Margaret's Secondary only to find Bertram, Ping Cheng(PC) and Roymond. Anyway, after that Bert and I discussed about stuff, then I was looking at some photos. Stayed for 2 hours then I left. Nothing interesting to blog about today. Still have a math problem to crack, I'm working on it. Looking forward to the end of the mid-year exams so I can really chill out with my friends. There is BAY tommorow, it's more of a Church Camp debrief, not sure if I can make it 'cause I still have to study. No life. Argh!!! But good news!
I will be able to go for Enrolment and Dedication service, I believe I can stay over too because my exams end on the 4th and there is only ONE paper on that day, Economics. So after the 2nd of July I only have ONE paper to sit for. YES! Praise God!

2006-06-15T06:07:00.000-07:00

Today I went to Serangoon Central Mac at 12.30pm to discuss PW. Saw Abel, he was also discussing PW with his Poly friends. We discussed PW for 2 hours, then I went to Sherm's house to play X-Box. Anyway, after that I went home. I saw Wen Kai in J8 conducting a survey for his own PW. Yeah that's about it. Just studied mathematics. Love the subject.

Church Camp Day 4

2006-06-14T19:34:00.000-07:00

LAST DAY. Woke up at 7, rather late but I was super shagged. Moses did not sleep at all and Sherman took a shower. I also showered then we went to heir room again. They were awake! So surprising. Anyway we went to the hotel lobby. Wei Jian and Wei Jun were playing table tennis. I was sitting on the couch and I actually fell asleep until Ivin woke me up. I went for breakfast with Sherm. We really whacked all the eggs and sausages since it was the last day. Did we have a message that day? I really forgot. Anway, I received a pack of Hershey's Cookies and Cream nuggets and a bag of caramel corn from my Angel. My Mortal gave me a carabiner. He actually left the night before and put it in the basket, oh well. Then, Wei Jian and Wei Jun came to my room to watch some show about crop circles. Super interesting, oh yar we had to go down for worship. We were late, sian....... I finally went to the toilet during the message, got rid of all the crap I ate during the camp. Then after the message, we went back to our rooms to pack up and leave. We were watching Van Helsing on HBO when the cleaners chased us out. No lar not so serious. Anyway, Sherm went to look for his parents. Moses and I went downstairs to his parents' room. Then we went for lunch. Ok, then my Angel gave me more chocs with a note saying :" You haven't the faintest idea who I am!". Seriously, I had NO idea, neither did Moses or Shermm. The handwriting was that of a girl's, and the contents were, oh well. We suspected Kel or Joel were capable of something like that. Anyway, we had our lunch in the hotel. NO SPAGHETTI WHY?! Then the bus came, then we left. Oh the bus people were playing bridge as usual. I slept for the first half of the trip, until we reached some honey farm, bee farm, whatever. NO DRINKS @#%$!%! We expected the HONEY farm to sell some honey drinks. Anyway, there was a petrol station across the road, SLAVATION. They sold cool drinks like Rose Syrup Soya Bean Milk which I bought for the twins. And also clear 100 Plus among other things. I bought a bottle of coke for myself. I was sitting with Wei jun for the remaining portion of the trip. So I talked to him about everything and we tricked Leon into believing that there was a stall in Little India selling homemade hamburgers. So lame. Anyway I forgot to mention that on the first day, Wilfred almost got held up by the customs for suspicious items. You see, the games commitee prepared some parcels for the game "Pass the Parcel" which bore resemblance to packs of cocaine! But he did nto get into trouble, by the grace of God. We were actually praying that the parcels that we meticulously wrapped would not get ripped open at the customs. Secondly, on the second day we had our afternoon games remember? The sky was threatening, but Timo and I prayed that the sky would clear up and it did! I rained only AFTER the games and the soccer match was over, 4 hours later. AMEN?
Back to Day 4. We went back to Singapore and I took a cab home.
Church Camp Rocked! Seriously the most intense 4 days of my life. Looking forward to next year's. Oh yes and this year's BAY camp.

Church Camp Day 3

2006-06-13T07:06:00.000-07:00

That morning we went to their room again. We tried to wake them up but they refused to wake up as usual. Ok we had morning breakfast then my Angel gave me more stuff, I got some Toblerone and a special crackling sweet so totally cool. Anyway, Christabel is like totally arguing with me all the time, I think it's quite fun. To sum the day up. Someone said that long entries bore people. Ok, I was in charge of a station for afternoon endurance games that day. Basically you had to search for a red gummy bear in the whole room. Wilfred's station was the most challenging, picture this; eating gummy bears dipped in salt, then eating a bitter gourd spread with wasabi and chilli padi. No Joke, everyone hated it. I only smelled it heh! Anyway that night we had BA night. WE sabohed a few people and said it was random. Kal and Timo wrestled on the stage, super funny. Anyway that night we had our last games meetin and the major debrief session. I opened Alan's Twisties without asking him, sorry! Yeah, after ther debrief, I went with some other peopel to a room to play bridge but as you know I don't play that game so Hozzy wanted to play Ping Pong so I went with her. Then Wilfred came, we played for 15 minutes then I left to look for Sherman. He was in the place I least expected. The room! Oh man, I thought he didn't have the key. But he did. Freaky. Anyway the next day we were left with only one key, mine. That night, I slept at 3.30.

Church Camp Day 2

2006-06-13T03:56:00.000-07:00

I slept at 2.30 am the night before or the morning before... wadever. Anyway, Christabel and Lois requested that we give them a morning call. Moses decided that we should go for a morning run at 6am. We woke up at 5.30 am and did soem washing up, then the three of us (sherm, moses and I), went to their room and slammed on the door and ringed the bell 10 times. Yvonne opened the door, then we barged in and screamed, hoping they would wake up. Christabel was still sleeping like a cat, unbelievable. Anyway, she woke up after 30 minutes and took 10 minutes to get to the toilet from her bed. Anyway, we left their room and forgot all about our run because we went to play some table tennis. We went back to their room after that and guess what? Lois and Christabel were still sleeping!!Argh!!!
anyway they woke up at 6 plus. Then we went for breakfast at 730am then we went for the message. After the message was the discussions as usual. These things were rather routine.
Yes then we had lunch and then we had afternoon games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool. Ok I am waiting for Dom to send the pics to me.
I was taking a game with Timo where we buried packs of Corntos around the entire volleyball court at the beach. The teams' objectives were to look for them. By digging, blowing and other spastic actions. Some people actually crawled and thought they could find the Corntos. not to mention we buried bottle caps too, they were worth more points.
Anyway, after that we played soccer at the beach. Imagine 20+ youths playing soccer, bliss. But we were all exhausted after the match. I cut my leg because of the sand. I sprained my left thigh doing a stunt, I wanted to utilise the soft sand anyway. We played for like 2 hours, double bliss. Then we went back to our rooms to wash up. I used 3 bottles of soap and 2 bottles of shampoo from the hotel. The sand literally sticked to my skin.
Sherm was totally drenched with sweat, so were the rest lah. Anyway we had dinner and then the night message and then the discussions. This is all getting routine! Yes, the message was so long that we had to forgo night endurance games, why?! why?! Wilfred was totally complaining, but I was also quite frustrated too. Anyway, that night we had a very brief meeting. Oh not to mention, my Angel gave me another pack of cookies and some Ritz Chocolates and other stuff. I also bought a snickers bar for my mortal. Then I bought some stuff foor my Angel. I slept at 3 that night. This concludes day 2. Yes, Christabel and the other gals wanted a wake up call again. What happened? Stay tuned

CHURCH CAMP! 9 JUNE TO 12TH JUNE

2006-06-12T21:42:00.000-07:00

CAMP TOTALLY ROCKED!!! I miss the camp, seriously!
Let's begin from Day 1.
I went to Church at 7.30 am but bought some silken soya bean jelly(tao huey) from the stall in Serangoon Central for breakfast. When I got to Church there were already alot of people. We did some final logistics preparations for the camp. I am in the games team together with Timo, Christabel, Wilfred and Alan. So totally cool. I forgot what happened then. Ivin decided we should pray before the bus came. We prayed from 7.45 to 8.30 and then the bus came. Ivin is this year's Camp Commandant! Joyce, his wife, was the Discipline master so cool!
We got onto the bus when I realised that I had forgotten to buy something for my mortal!!!! ARGH! But thank God I had a frisbee with me.
Anyway, on the bus I sat with Moses. As usual, he wanted to play Bridge. Actually he did some studying first, so typical. If you are reading this, sorry! Anyway I went to sit with Wilfred whp was adjacent to Wei Jian and Wei Jun, my fave twins! ( they are guys by the way). I was like talking to them the entire trip. Wait, I forgot. Firs we stopped at some hawker center on the way. WHY IS THE FOOD IN MALAYSIA SO CHEAP AND GOOD?! I purchased a bowl on dumpling noodles which cost 3.50 rm and another platter of dim sum which cost 3.80 rm. I gave Giddy a prawn dumpling. The food was great!! Then Moses and I went to some provision shop across the road to but some sweets. The roads are very dangerous. Warning, never jay-walk on malaysian roads, Mo and I almost died! Thank God we didn't. When we got on the bus again after this pit stop, I started chatting with the twins again. I irritated almost everyone on the bus with Zhng My Car and the Mr Brown Show. Especially D.O.H.C. I'll be like asking everyone:" You know D.O.H.C.? Damn On and Hiong Camper?!" So I guess I was liek the DOHC Guy. Ok, halfway in the bus journey I fell asleep until Lois woke me up when we reached DESARU!!!
I saw Sherman there with a TOTAL 90 SOCCER BALL, wah salvation! We chilled out at some lounge in the Hotel. Then we went to the conference room which we booked for the entire 4 days. Yes Icebreakers! The games team was in total frenzy. Firstly, the stage was super small, imagine the height of Daniel Choo multiplied by the height of Ivan Chow. Seriously. But we improvised. Timo was super funny. He translated the instructions of the games into Chinese. He said: " The song will become faster towards the end" then he said in chinese: " Na ge ge hui chiong ar!" SUPER FUNNY. anyway we had worship first, Daniel played while Timo, Alan and I lead in the actions and stuff. We picked songs that were sort of bilingual so the mandarin and cantonese side could understand. Guess what NYJCians? Miss Liu Fang came for the camp! So cool, sian I did not take any photos during the camp. Anyway, the ice breakers were fun. After that, the Youths took the entire conference room. Wait no, we got our room keys first, Moses, sherman and I went back to our room to chill out and test the channel. sherman used his IPod Video to play some Jay Chou music video on the TV! So cool. Then we had out youths gathering in the conference room. Yes we played Angel and Mortal. My mortal was Stanley. I did not know who my angel was until the last day, but my angel was legend...... Anyway, Joel was the Youth commander, he told us to take a pillow from our rooms to play games. So fun, we played some mass soccer. It's hard to explain on my blog but anyway. We played alot of games. Then we had discussions with our groups. Wei Jian and Wei Jun, whom I will refer to as the "young- twins". Their cousin, Carol was in my group. I believe we made her feel welcome in the camp although she is from another Church. My group was very united. Wait!
I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE WATER IN THE TOILET WAS YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man. But the coffee rocked, so nice man. Yep, we then had our dinner at the outdoor cafe. It was very cooling and the food was great. We had spaghetti everyday YUM! there were other stuff to eat. That night we had a message from mr Lian Mun Yee, talking about Holiness. Our camp's theme was "Pursuit of Holiness" . We then had discussions in our groups. That day, My angel gave me a whole large pack of Hershey's dark chocolate nuggets and a string of sweets that melts in your mouth. In case you do not know how the game "Angel and Mortal" is played, I wont explain it on my blog, but ask me if you see me. Anyway the 9th of June was the WORLD CUP OPENING! Did we miss it? How could we?! We gathered in each other's rooms to catch it. I was actually showering when Germany scored a goal in the 5th minute. Sherman was screaming and I rushed out to watch it. Awesome. But Costa Rica scored a goal in the 10th minute. I watched the match until the first half was over, then I had games meeting in room 234, Christabel, Lois and Yvonne's room. We discussed about next day's games. Apparently, we had to recce the place the next morning. Anyway, I missed the second half, but Sherman told me that the final score was 4-2 to Germany, expected. Christabel also told me that they wanted a wake up call the next morning. So when I got back to my room, Sherman and Moses were already sleeping. So I watched HBO and then I slept. This conclude just Day One!!!!! Keep reading! Still 3 more days to go

TOMMOROW IS CHURCH CAMP!
Today was a very busy day. I woke up at 10.30 am and had my breakfast, then I had my lunch when my Mom came home at 11.30 and I had my lunch. Then after watching Teen Titans (where's Kid Flash?), I went to Church to prepare games stuff for the Church Camp which is tommorow!
The things we prepared cannot be mentioned on my blog. You guys have to find out during the camp!
After the meeting, I went for my Chinese tuition at 4pm. Yes Jin Hao was there too. After the tuition class, I went to cut my hair and he followed me. Cost me $8.
After the hair cut, I walked around the place with him to buy some stuff. He is seriously bored at home, so I had to keep him company. I left early so I can prepare for camp tommorow.
I have not actually finished my packing so I am planning to do it tonight.
So the class outing is next Monday when I come back from camp. I can't go! ..sob....
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK AND MIN JUN!!!!!
My last entry before I go for Church Camp, be back on the 12th!

Singapore Idol

2006-06-07T05:48:00.000-07:00

WHY?! Why do people think they sound nice? Why do people think they can dance? WHY?! It's excruciating to hear people sing and thinking they rock at it. ARGH! singaporeans.......

2006-06-07T05:45:00.000-07:00

Just came back from Bishan CC. Studied Dynamics and finished my tuition stuff. Tommorow is my last Church camp meeting.
I just packed my room just now, feels really great to get rid of some stuff. I have yet to pack my bags for Camp, planning to do it tonight.
After camp, I will MUG all the way. Yes, I read Alan's blog and he said the same thing in his latest entry. So guys and girls, HELP ME OUT! ORGANISE MORE STUDY GROUPS AND CHASE ME OFFLINE IF I LOG IN BEFORE DINNERTIME (because that is when I will study).

Wednesday- 7 June 2006

2006-06-06T22:01:00.000-07:00

ONE day to Church Camp!!! So looking forward. There will be one final preparation for games tommorow, must prepare well. I seems that the first three months were much more relaxing than this years' June holidays. Exams are after the holidays. So when I am back from camp, I have only 2 weeks to study. Can be done. Expect to find me in Bishan Community Centre EVERYDAY. Other than Sundays. I will probably go to Bishan CC on Saturdays with Jin Hao after our Chinese Tuition. Sundays will be my ONLY day of relaxation. There must be a balance, get it? Must pray that I will be kept from distractions and have the ability to concentrate.
Going to Bishan CC later to study and chill, blog again tonight.
I am planning to blog as much as I can before leaving for camp to keep you guys occupied while I am away.
Oh yes, regarding the class outing next Monday. Guys, I won't be able to make it if it's on the 12th of June. Please plan accordingly. Jack, why did you run off to Indonesia? (kidding) Anyway those who are planning, hear my cry for help! I WANT TO GO FOR THE OUTING!

Blog Skin

2006-06-06T02:42:00.000-07:00

Anyway, if you all are wondering why I have changed my blog skin back to my previous one, I find it suits my theme. I got a new tagboard so please tag! TAG! Anyone just TAG! My blog must really improve.

6 June 2006- Tuesday

2006-06-06T02:30:00.000-07:00

Have not blogged for a long time. Church camp is in 3 Days' time really looking forward to it! The games team has been planning for Camp and we are really jamming everything before this Friday. Our class is planning an outing on the 12th but I am away at camp. Guys please plan so that I can also go! Yesterday I went to Elijah's house to study, but I was very unfocused, so sorry about that. I have been losing focus lately and been very distracted by my guitar and Church camp preparations. So I must really mug after Camp. MUG HARD. However, I intend to go out with my class more often too to relax. Too muc work and no play makes me a dull boy. I don't really know what's wrong with me. I tend to study better when I am with other people. If I am left at home, I can't achieve anything. So I must go out and study with my friends and BROTHERS. I made a vow, that since I can't study at home, I shall make FULL use of my time outside.
Anyway, we had GP lesson today for my GP class. Ms. Shahida went through the tests and a comprehension which a few of us did not do. So she chased us out of the lecture hall. Chester, Shem, Teng shun and I were doing it at a table outside LT4. Apparently the media club had a camp and one of the teachers served us a plate of the food, absolutely scrumptous. Anyway, after finishing our work, we went back into the lecture theatre and had some group discussion, ended up talking to my classmates about the Mr. Brown Show. After the lesson, my class went outside to feast on the food and then I left for Games Meeting. It's a real blessing that my Church is just next to NYJC....... LEGEND...... it's very convenient for me. Before I go, 0621, plan the outing so that I can go, I really want to go. And Elijah, good luck to you and your care group for your Church camp and God Bless. Lester, God Bless your Church.

Joel Signing Off...... Until the 13th June when I'm back!

BROTHERS

Miss Ng's Wedding- 3 May 2006, Saturday

2006-06-03T07:14:00.000-07:00

TOTALLY! Firstly God Bless you Miss Ng or should I say Mrs Wang! Anyway, her wedding was held at Church of St. Francis Xavier in Serangoon. Let's start from the beginning..... I woke up at..... ok I went to Serangoon MRT station at 8.45 am, the time our class was supposed to gather, however, people were late as usual especially our landmark. Ok then we went ot the Bus Interchange and we saw people from 0612, Elijah's class, totally cool. Oliver, please improve your dress sense, no offence. Brother Elijah God Bless your health, Thank God Lester and I could pray for you just now. Yep, the service was very ceremonial, something that I am not used too coming from a semi-charismatic background. You may think that liturgical=boring, no it wasn't. The service today was amusing and interesting thanks to the priest. After the service we had photo taking then a buffet. Took some time to take photos with friends and teachers. The food was great! The sheperd's pie was delectable, awesome, delicious oh man oh oh oh! Simon actually threw up on his shirt after eating the brocoli, thank God I wore two shirts so I lent him mine. After the whole thing, we went to Jin Hao's place.... no time to blog.I will finish this portion tommorow so stay tuned!

Words that Defile

2006-05-31T04:07:00.000-07:00

A mathematics teacher said somthing today that is seriously unacceptable. Firstly, you are a Christian,so know this " Those things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornifications, thefts, FALSE WITNESS, BLASPHEMIES. These are things which defile a man." Matthew 15: 18-20
Stop the profane, blasphemous and sarcastic language. I don't wish to let people know what else you said other than what was written in the previous entry, honestly.
So tell yourself this "Woe is me! For I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips..." Isaiah 6:5
Ask yourself these questions too
1. What is my biggest hinderance from having a sanctified mouth?
2.What ungodly influences am I inviting in to other people's lives?
3.How can I use my tongue for God's glory?

You are a teacher and play a very significant role in the development of a student. THINK before you SPEAK.

GOD WANTS US TO USE OUR MOUTHS FOR HIS GLORY

2006-05-31T02:23:00.000-07:00

OK. I have not blogged for a while. Let's start from Saturday.
I went for my tuition class, then I went to church for leader's meeting. The funny thing was, I was the only person there, and I was late. Abel had a project to do and Moses had Camp meeting. So Mike talked to me about stuff and we prayed. Then I went home. So boring.... I slacked, chilled out and studied at home, then watched The Ring at night until around 130 am. I was super tired and very worried that I could not get up the next morning for Church. Which actually happened. I missed Church on Sunday! So sian and I also missed another Camp meeting. The whole day was spent at home, and I planned to do some studying. But at the end of the day, I only did ONE mathematics question. Picture this, a person staying at home for at least 12 hours and only ONE question. The time was spent watching TV, computer, guitar, breaking and eating. Elijah and some other people were supposed to go jamming at serangoon, so I intended to join them. Oh man, it was cancelled.
Anyway, the next day, Monday, there was school, nothing much to talk about anyway. So after school,we went to a place near plaza Singapura to purchase some guitar stuff. Then Elijah came to my house. We intended to study, but, we ended up playing the guitar and watching his rendition of "Power Rangers" which he filmed. Super funny but anyway.... Yes we ate maggi noodles and some biscuits. I actually cooked for him, oh man( no I am not complaining). After that, I went for a games team meeting at Toa Payoh HDB hub. We finished discussing all the games yea!! But we have to purchase stuff this Thurday, yes it's tommorow.
Yesterday, I went to school as usual for lectures, then I went home. After which I joined Elijah and his care group to jam at a studio in serangoon. Listen guys it's only $5 per person for one whole hour. But seriously, it's not enough.
Today (finally), went to school AGAIN. We wasted our time coming so early, as we found out that we did not have to attend the first lecture. Apparently, Mr Lee forgot to inform us that we did not have to come, thanks alot. We studied in the I-Space, at least I achieved something. Then we had Mathematics tutorial. Ok, frankly speaking, I know that Elijah and I can be very talkative, but Mr Tan, you don't have to say that (quote from what you said) "You are full of shit". I'm sorry but he actually said that. Witnesses? Lester, Shem........ etc.
Ok, after all the lectures, we played squash. Love the game. We played for about an hour, then Yong Huan and I went to Bishan CC to study with Angie, Ji Bin and Jun An. The place is totally conducive. I achieved alot today, looking forward to more study groups like this.

Saturday 27 May 2006

2006-05-27T04:08:00.000-07:00

Ok... Today I had my chinese tuition. Wait let's talk about yesterday. I attended the principal's dialogue in school with my parents. So boring..... we left early becasue we were so tired. I so wanted my parents to meet my teachers, seriously, nevermind there is always the meet-the-parents session at the end of the year. Looking forward to it. Anyway today I was earlier than Jin Hao and we did the usual stuuf, comprehensions and more comprehensions. My life is getting bland argh!!!
Ok a new photo on my blog, did this long ago. First photo in 2 months

Reality Check

2006-05-26T21:38:00.000-07:00

TITA MING PLEASE READ THIS. Some being so vain, stop thinking that you are hot, stop spouting your nonsense and stop all the profane language that comes out of your trap. If you really think that you are hot, then tell the whole school, or should someone do it for you?
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND THINK WITH YOUR "FIT-FOR-RJC,NJC,HCI" BRAIN

Thursday 25 May 2006

2006-05-25T04:15:00.000-07:00

Today was cool. Yea had C.F. today. Nothing new to talk about actually. Thank God that I could share about my class watching the Da Vinci Code. A serious issue that is rocking the religious world. Anyway, I find that teachers should come for the NYJC Christian Fellowship, I'm going to start inviting. Yes, I know that Teachers and Students have to observe a certain level of respect, BUT everyone is equal in the eyes of the Lord. I knwo a few teachers in NYJC who are Christians, Mr Lincoln Mao (who is attending my Church and giving a sermon this Sunday), Miss Liew Fang (also attending my Church), Miss Ng (my physics teacher) and many more. Not to mention Mr. Tan Jin Wu too, he seriously needs to set an example and keep his sarcasm under control SERIOUSLY.
Anyway today after C.F. Elijah went to meet his PW teacher for some stuff. I went to the class and chilled out with some of his classmates, Teng Shun and others. He filmed me with his camera doing some stuff, haven't thanked him yet. Anyway we went to photocopy something in the school library, THE PHOTOCOPIERS NEVER WORK, EVER, ABSOLUTELY NOT, WHY?!?! What a waste of time. My goodness, why solve problems like the shortage of seats in the canteen when the more prominent problems are so ABSOLUTELY ODVIOUS? Anyway, my class was at Junction 8 doing some window shopping and buying stuff for Mr .Pang's farewell tommorow.
Elijah and I went to council room first and we saw Angie struggling with the lock. Tehy took 10 minutes just to open the lock and figure out the combination. Me? I was listening to some songs on Elijah's MP3. When they finally figured it, we went to J8.
My class was in Popular purchasing some coloured pens, vanguard sheet and a very nice Parker pen for Mr. Pang.
Yep, Elijah and I bought a book for Lester which we are going to present to him tommorow. Not to mention, today Ping Chong did something that was very funny. He went to the pebble pool outside J8 and called them his "Family". Ok you have to know what we are talking about, it's not funny if you don't.
Read this verse today, very meaningful:
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15: 12-13

STRESS....... Super-distracted, ill-disciplined ME. Can't study, got too many things in my head. I have a physics test tommorow, and I have not even touched it. I literally spent the last 2 hours playing the guitar and doing some other stuf, and now I am blogging. LEGEND. Today Mr. Lee did not call me during tutorials, so lucky THANK GOD. Tomorow there is C.F. so pray that Elijah will lead well, so will Hao Feng and Lester. AMEN

NO TIME TO BLOG! Have to rush through Energetics tutorial for chemistry tommorow before I am hounded by Mr. Lee. And I have a Physics test on Thursday which I have yet to begin studying. Mug tommorow. Anyway today's G.P. lesson we watched School Of Rock, very interesting (understatement). Today during the C.T. period we attended the Student Council Investiture. 28 OUT = 29 IN, go figure. Anyway, Lester made a very good speech, very articulate to say the least. Most importantly, Thank You for Thanking us in your speech. "Us" referring to Elijah, Qi Xiang and I. It was really very unexpected and we really appreciate it. AMEN BROTHER. As for Elijah, your role as a Quarter-Master is ANYTHING but insignificant. The Student Council room could not be in better hands than yours, Lester, it is also up to you to revolutionise the Council. +JESUS REVOLUTION+
Good luck, GOD BLESS, work well with other Councillors.

Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

BROTHERS From left :Lester, Me, Elijah
I know Christian BROTHERS and SISTERS out there ; Elijah, Lester, Quelyn, Mei Ping, Zhong Yu, Hyeimun, Lucius, Wen Kai, Hui Min and others who will make a difference in NYJC. I know a majority of you are councillors and stressed up by council stuff. Even those with no council are plagued by innumerable assignments, even with commitments that are deemed more important than the ministry of God. Remember guys, God should always be your NUMBER ONE priority in life.
"THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE " MARK 12:29
Isn't it worth the time spent on Earth to glorify HIS name rather than pursue earthly interests. Moreover, positions given to us are meant so that we can glorify HIS name. So never forget to pray, pray and pray.

Anyway just went out with my parents to Marina Square and bought a pair of jeans and had our dinner. Nothing much to talk about today. LEGEND..... Sum up my life with these words

Today was very stressful. Ok lets talk about last night. I broke a chair, don't ask me how or why, I just did. Anyway my mom never approved of me breaking and she saw some of my photos so she was furious. She said: "It's dangerous!" Alright it's true, but she was very harsh on me wah....... so stressed now. There are alot of things on my mind. Firstly, being a potential cell leader for my school' C.F. has been occupying my mind. I'm seriously praying about it, and please pray for me too. The Da Vinci code's coming out tommorow. Yes the storyline is interesting, but the insurmountable blasphemies are what I am worried about.Mr Bernard Lee has been very harsh on me, yes I know I did not finish your tutorials but there's no need to get sarcastic.
ANYWAY my mind is so occupied by things I shouldn't even be worried about. "Worrying does not add an inch to your stature" Sermon on the Mount (somewhere in Matthew).
Today school was cool. Elijah was sick today so pray for him guys. Wah school without him is totally different. Anyway today Lester went up to lead the school in a mass cheer for the volleyball match. I wa cheering for him at the start, turned out I was the only one. Sembarrasing, half the JC1 cohort was staring at me. Anyway later that day, we went to Toa Payoh Sports hall to watch the Volleyball Girl's Finals. NYJC Vs. Hwa Chong Institution. We lost. Nothing much to talk about. Anyway there is chemistry SPA tommorow. OH MAN.... I have to livve up to Mr. Lee's standards. What's with my sad relationship with Lees????? OH MAN.........

TOTALLY..... When was the last time i blogged? Last Friday. Ok, Saturday wasn't that exciting. I went for my chinese tuition class, then I went to my Church to watch a VCD with the youths and to chill out. Watched "I Not Stupid 2", interesting....... Anyway Sunday I went to Church for Mothers Day service, honestly, it was very boring. Anyway lets not talk about Sunday. Monday, yes.... got back my chinese compo, so LEGENDARY that I passed whooooo!! I also passed my Physics test DOUBLE LEGEND. Ok the day was not really exciting either, why is my life so boring? Today was cool. Practised guitaring with Elijah during both breaks, he taught me the "Power Rangers" song, TRIPLE LEGEND. The squash court was empty during the first break and he helped me to tune my guitar while I practised some breaking. Learned the elbow freeze today! AMEN. OK besides that, Elijah's a legendary guitarist and teacher, I owe it all to him. BROTHER! Yep we had another physics test today. I did not study at all, and got at least a question out of four correct, that is still LEGENDARY in A Level standards. Gotta go study for this Thursday's SPA and isn't it surprising that TAN JIN WU is a Christian???? OH MAN OH MAN.....

Today was legendary.... I went out with my class this morning at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. I saw Yan Hao's head from a mile away (exaggerating). Anyway we walked around the whole station just looking for the class. They were late!!! Anyway, we went to Long John's to have our lunch, which took half an hour. Then we slacked a little longer. We walked around Dhoby Ghaut and Plaza Singapura doing some window shopping. We were walking around in World of Sports trying out the eyeglasses, after that we went to the station, 3 people were missing! Tricia and Hek Ming joined us shortly, but Yong Huan went off to purchase a bag without telling us!
He did tell Jun An ok? Anwyay, we took the train and went to Tiong Bahru first, 'cause we didn't want to wait. We walked around in Tiong Bahru plaza doing more window shopping and waited for him. He came after a half hour wait.
Then we set out to Jack's house. Not to mention Tricia and Hek Ming went missing again, we thought they were eloping... haha... nevermind. We played at the playground near the plazae for around 15 minutes, what a waste of time. Then we finally went to his house with the other two. Anyway, we chilled out at his house making a puzzle for (AHem! nvm that person will know soon enough), I left at 3.30 pm to go out with my parents.
I took a very long time finding my way back to the plaza from Jack's house. I took 2 trains and a bus home. Then, I saw Edward at the bus stop outside my block. LEGEND...... I talked to him about school stuff and other things. Not to mention, he had a serious cut on his right forearm due to his canoeing. Pray for him guys.
Then I went home and came out again with my parents. We went to J8 to have dinner. Then I saw Hyeimun and Daryl DOUBLE LEGEND........ We talked about their Church (CHC, Edward's Church too).
That concludes the day, gotta study.........

2006-05-11T18:37:00.000-07:00

I CAN FINALLY USE MY INTERNET!!!!! Anyway my internet has been down for 5 days that's why I have not been replying tags or online. Yeah my blog is exactly the same as Elijah's, blogskin and song and then some. I will change the song soon! Just have to look for the right site.
Alot has been happening this past week where I was internet dry. I had a serious flu man! On Monday night I had a terrible cold and the next day (Tuesday) was my S.P.A. (science practical) and NAPHA (physical fitness test). I prayed and requested the help of others to pray, the next day I was OK! AMEN! Yeah the SPA was rather easy and I have a chance to get a gold for my NAPHA. Anyway all that is left is my 2.4 km run so I don't want afternoon PE!!!!!!! Must train.....
Yep my class went out practically everyday. On Wednesday, Ping Chong, Tricia, Ji Bin and I went to Gracehaven Home to check it out. (background info!)We all signed up for NYAA and are required to do community work , so we want to help in Gracehaven, maybe clean up stuff or teach.
On Thursday (yesterday), my class, with the exception of a few, went to Harbour Front to eat. Not to mention I had C.F. in school that day. It was interesting. Elijah played "Tell The World" on his guitar. I was honestly skeptical at first because "Tell the World" is totally charismatic but it worked! AMEN! Then we had communion, first time, it was succesful too coooool. Yep Mei Ping led and I believe she did a great job.
Yes, back to the class outing, we went to Harbour Front to eat, while I rushed through my chinese composition. Then a few of us went back to NY. Some girls went back for their netball training, I went back to hand in my compo with Jun An. Yesterday was tedious!

My Blog Name

2006-05-07T22:36:00.000-07:00

In case you all are wondering why my blog is called "Stevenization" this is my story.......... Apparently there is this Hero in DOTA (some game I don;t really care about) called Sven (or whatever). An ex-classmate, currently in SRJC and City Harvest Church, Julius Chen, said it wrongly and called the hero "Steven" in the most spastic manner ever. The whole class laughed man! Then I spread the good word to my church and BB Coy, and the practice of saying "STEVEN.............!" is now affectionately known as "Stevenization". I know it is lame but true ok?

MAN......... My internet is down and I can only blog in school so....... I just had a physics class test which was moderately acceptable (aiya it was tough ok?). I am slacking in the computer lab with my classmates now. Just met up with Kah Jun ( some Street Style Society guy), they seem to be having alot of fun learning how to break. ARGH.... the timing is so inconvenient. Their trainings are on Saturdays at Hougang (or Toa Payoh) and from 2pm to 7pm, I have to go to Church!!!!!!! Anyway God will be my NUMBER-ONE priority in life, Breakdancing is Second hehe...... Nevermind, being a freelance breaker is still good, argh can't get the windmill right. ANYWAY Elijah and Lester are totally caught up woth their Student Council stuff so I have to say this GOD COMES FIRST GUYS, Council second. But there is still a chance to glorify His Name in the Council.

Just came back from school. I led worship with Elijah just now in our C.F. Erm..... I feel rather satisfied and Elijah strummed well too. Anyway, something very very very embarrassing happened just now. As I was coming out of the lift outside my house just now, I decided to do a handstand on the area outside the lift before going to my door. I walked exactly five steps then......... a woman came out of the lift! ARGH!!!!! So embarrasing! Seh actually saw me doing it. She actually stayed in the lift before coming out, what probably went through her mind was "what's this guy doing?". Wah....... must really control myself.

And thanks for lending me your MP3! Anyway, the two of us will be leading the Christian Fellowship tommorow, so do pray for us!! Yep just finished a week of tests.......... almost, just one more to go!!!! MATHS.......MATHS.....I am the rep, so I must do well.

2006-05-02T05:01:00.000-07:00

Wow I have been hoarded by tests! Anyway God helped me pull through and thanks to Brothers like Elijah and Caleb, I could manage my stress. Alot of things have been happening in school and due to the insurmountable workload, I don't have the time to blog!!!! Anyway this is a rare opportunity for me to blog. Yes I have a Maths test tommorow, and as the class Mathematics Rep I feel I have the responsibility to do well. Anyway I had Econs and GP tests today which were fairly easy... argh! Yes then in the afternoon we had a mock SPA (Physics Practical). I was able to do the practical this time without much difficulty or assistance Thank God! Anyway aftert he SPA, Miss Ng told us that........ she is geting married! Actually it wasn't much of a surprise as she has been wearing a ring and Elijah told me about it. Mis Ng if you are reading this Elijah is actually Kai Wen. Anyway Miss Ng, God Bless your marriage and WE WILL BE THERE ON THE 3RD!!!!!

Yes I recently read an ntry from my Brother-In-Christ, Elijah's blog. The entry commenting on his maths teacher spurred me to write this entry. Yes teachers must be supportive of students' aspirations and dreams. I am writing this because that particular math teacher not only gave sarcastics remarks of students but also of religion. Basically Mr. Maths Teacher, KEEP QUIET (nicely put). If you have nothing to say then don't attempt to attract the students attention. Then again no one likes to attend your tutorials. I am not your student by the way and I will mention your name on my blog soon so don't worry. By the way, Elijah's blog is www.guitaristkai.blogspot.com

2006-04-23T22:25:00.000-07:00

ITS A STRESSFEST! Yeah, have beeen having tests and I can only find time to blog in school. I am doing so now. Just had a Physics tutorial. Things have been happening. I got hurt doing a handstand at home and I just fell down after the GP lecture today OH NO!!!! I have been losing my balance lately so gotta keep my enthusiasm under control. Anyway, home wrok has been piling up and I have been distracted lately. Elijah is teaching me how to play the guitar and I am glad to say that I can play two songs now. Yes but there is still alot to learn! THANK YOU ELIJAH! Yes, I have been watching TV rather than studying. But can I be blamed? There is so much to watch! Especially the Bourn Identity last night. And tonight there is So You Think You Can Dance!!!! Whoa must watch! But there is a Physics test tommorow oh man........ Anyway Thank God I can balance my studies with my play. I am trying to keep myself from distractions now. Yes, you can take the guitar from me but can you remove the floor???

Jeremo's Birthday Picture!

Jeremy's Birthday

2006-04-15T01:59:00.000-07:00

Yes and Jeremy's birthday also fell on Good Firday. I rushed from Kai Wen's Church after the service and it was rather easy to get there especially with the directions given by him. Yes when I went there the whole class was watching TV... I expected something more exciting. Anyway we had some glazed pork to eat and wine to drink. Funny taste though. Anyway there was a sumptuous buffet and we ate. Then Jack and Tricia came up with the idea to do the Superstar dance. Yeah we participated but with hesitation. Jeremy blew his candles, pardon the pun, after much anticipation. WE gave him a Converse sling bag nice.......!

Holy Spirit Baptism

2006-04-15T01:53:00.000-07:00

AMEN! This year's Good Friday(14 April 2006) was very significant for Norman and I. We went to Elijah's Church, well I went late, yes but I did not miss the important portion. We had praise and worship after lunch, followed by a sermon on evangelism. Then there was another talk about Holy Spirit Baptism. Norman, who became a believer for less than a month, agreed that we are ready for it. So we went in front and Kai Wen, Luke, Matthias and another SAJC guy (forgot his name). Anyway we received the grace of teh Spirit and we can speak in Tongues! AMEN!!

Today I went to Church earlier than usual beacuse my Dad was in the worship team. I slacked for an hour, bought some donuts to eat. I wanted to complete some of my work in Church but yeah I got distracted. Most importantly, Stephanus is back, or he was. Anyway I went to the airport at 3pm and met up with the rest, I saw Stephanus and man, has he lost weight! Yeah we walked around and took photos, had fun and now here I am blogging. Anyway after he left Edward and I went home together. We took the same bus, same train and the same lift in the same block. YES WE LIVE IN THE SAME BLOCK THAT'S SO FUNNY!

Baptism

2006-04-03T21:24:00.000-07:00

As I can vaguely remember, I got baptised on 19 March 2006. Thanks to Elijah, Luke and Bertram and my mom for coming down and witnessing my baptism. Yep and another big thanks to my Sumday School class and Ivan for giving me the book titled " God's Outrageous Claims" . Anyway Moses and I got baptised along with another person though I don't remember her name. Anyway the talk that night about the DaVinci code was kinda interesting. Yea I dont really have time to blog these days and I am doing it in school during breaks. Homework........homework

Hope Church

2006-04-02T22:34:00.000-07:00

On Saturday 1 April 2006, I rushed back after my tuition class which ended at 11am and rushed out of the house at 1115 'cause I had to go to Kai Wen's church. Anyway the bus took ages to come and I reached Tangs plaza at 1215pm. I had to run all the way from Tangs Plaza to Somerset MRT! Anyway after I met the gang, we went to Cuppage Plaza( where Kai Wen's Church is). The worship was lively and the sermon was very interactive. PRAISE THE LORD!!! NORMAN AND WEE SAN ACCEPTED CHRIST !!!!!!! AMEN! Anyway after that we went to Star Hub building for lunch.. yar thats all i remember.

Orientation 2

2006-03-24T20:38:00.000-08:00

This round of orientation wasn't as successful as the first. The mass dance was too brief and the games became so routine. But the good thing was that our class became more spontaneous during the cheering segments which tells alot, we are becoming united!! Yes I know I like to talk alot about unity within our class but it is important right? Anyway on the last day of Orientation 2 there was disco night!!!!! So glad that Norman could make it and we actually saw Agnes too. This year's disco night was a flop because:
1. NO TRAINS
2.NO GOING ON THE STAGE
3.AND NO BREAKING!!
But who cares anyway, there were still trains and breaking involved. The only reason why no one went on the stage was because it was occupied!!! Anyway 06S09 was reunited and we only had the mood to dance halfway into disco night because the SECOND band did not excite us. The singer actually had to look at the lyrics. But anyway REDNEF(FIRST band) was good, especially the drumming. The disco night ended with a short mass dance session and I actually found a dance partner who was enthusiastic..... very rare. Anyway my class CT 06S21 went out after disco night but I declined to join them as I was busy the next day. SO SORRY I COULDN'T MAKE IT. Yep pray that our time together in 0621 will be a fruitful experience.

Level Camp

2006-03-24T20:23:00.000-08:00

Yea.... our class bonded during and after the camp thanks to the spider-web game. A wise invention by our camp facilitator....... never could have come up with such a game anyway. The level camp was kinda boring though especially when we stuck to our own groups, but anyway we started to mix around with others and making more friends. Its a good sign anyway 0609 was not that united in January but look at the bunch of crazy people we became!!!! The last day of level camp tapped our emotions to the max. 'cause there were times of serious physical and mental boredom but also moments of zealousness, like when we had to "celebrate" at the start ofthe second day. Yep so happy to have met and reunited with my 0609 classmates. At the end of the level camp the facilitator told us to thank a person from another CT, I can't believe that Kaiwen and I spontaneously looked for each other. Anyway its a sign of our friendship!! The camp ended on a happy note when my class went to J8 to eat, so sad that I had to leave early anyway we should do it again sometime.

Wednesday 22 March 2006

2006-03-21T20:02:00.000-08:00

Today is the second day of the level camp, and I am blogging from the school's computer lab. Yesterday's level camp was not that fun as my class was not enthusiastic enough. Yep, now is my lunch break and just now we had a brief dancing session and a "trust-fall" segment. I really dislike people who do not participate in the activities specifically ONE person from my class (I don't wish to mention who" anyway the class is starting to bond and we are beginning to feel the camaraderie amongst each other. The trust-fall helped us to well.... trust each other. The brief dancing sesssion was not meant to be a dancing session. Actually they just played a few songs and I met some of my old 06S09 people from the first three months. We hadan opportunity to break and be crazy....... very fun!!!! Anyway the lunch break is about to end and we are going to carry on with a 3-hour activity which the OGLs declined to tell us. Stay tuned for more posts!

2006-03-15T20:53:00.000-08:00

In case everyone is wondering where I have been the past few days..... and why I have not been coming online or answering your calls, I have been at a camp, a Boys' Brigade camp to be precise. Yes, I was cut off from the world, I was stripped of every electronic device. Anyway, the camp started on the 14th which was....... a Tuesday. The first day was honestly not so exciting, especially the games segment. Melvrick and I decided to make full use of the tiem and built a fence around the campsite.
Anyway, yesterday was fun as I went back to Bukit Arang during the camp for a Church Camp meeting. AND PLEASE BE EARLY NEXT TIME GUYS! I went there at 12pm as arranged but waited until 1230 before I saw Abby and Alan. Anyway they went for lunch so they were not late. But Wilfred and Christabel!!!! LATE!!!! Yes after the whole meeting I went to 7-11 to buy the mushroom burger, not bad though but horribly expensive, I went back to AMKSS to have another pack of rice. Anyway last night while everyone was sleeping, Ping Cheng, Wee Chye, Desmond, Jing Wen and I took a walk around the school, especially the DARK places. Apparently they wanted to prove the existence of ghosts and urban legends.... blah....blah..... well they needed an officer to acompany them so I did. Our conclusion??? Well after "searching" for 15minutes we found out that all the rumours were just nonsense.
Today was the last day of the camp, Thank God! No it is not that the camp was boring, but I just wanted to have proper baths and a sleeping environment that did not cause you to feel uncontrollably hot or unbelievably cold. Yes, and there is going to be a combined outing this Saturday with the 64th Boys' Brigade, 31st Girls' Brigade and 52nd Junior Companies. So looking forward to it.

My subject combination has been approved so happy. CONGRATULATIONS TO ABBY FOR GETTING INTO TJC!!!!!!!!! I would have been happy if you could stay in "China". Hey anyway "China" and TJC possess close ties. YES and I chose PHYSICS over computing, PHYSICS IS THE CHOICE!!!!! Yep feeling exhausted now because I just came back from my BB Training, playing soccer with a bunch of adolescents is not easy, especially if they can jump higher than you (go figure out what I mean).

2006-03-09T03:46:00.002-08:00

Alot of things have been happening the past few days. The fact that appealing to colleges had begun 3 days ago meant that more tertiary students are frantically running around Singapore looking for the IDEAL college. Anyway, I saw two of my ex-classmates from AMKSS appealing to come into NYJC. Yeah and Daryl, from my OG, is trying his best to get out of SRJC (which we encouraged anyway), I really hope that his appeal will be successful. YES! And I got my first choice for my subject combination, namely, H1: Economics H2: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, the ultimate science combination. Anyway Kaiwen and I have been going to BA after school to play basketball and we have been going to J8 the last few days(we pass by it anyway). Yep I am going to purchase my uniform tommorow(FINALLY), I can get out of my GREEN uniform deemed "prominent" by Hyeimun, what she says is true anyway. My friend actually told me that the NYJC uniform looks like mud, and if I wear it I will look like a full-grown tree..........

Today is the first day of school!!!! I was rather late for school but did not get into trounle, they hadn't started anyway. When I arrived I was searching for my OG when I saw Sze Keong and other 06S09 guys from the First Intake. I also realized how many AMKsians are in NYJC for the second intake. Anyway, there was a boring speech made by Mr. Kwek and I was talking with Thu Lin who was in my OG. Then we had mathematics lecture in LT4, that was when the fun started. Some of the 06S09 guys gathered together and we attended the lecture as a group. Yes, and Abigail sent me a funny SMS that went, "I'm in China, Save Me!". "China" referring to NYJC. Anyway my class had a good laugh out of it. Reccess was when my class was united again and I was glad that I saw some of my OG mates. Well after school, Kai Wen and I met up with Abby and we walked to BA.Then we told her that we wanted to play basket ball, so she left us. AND HOW IS IT THAT MY PREMIERSHIP BALL WHICH IS ONE DAY OLD LOOKS SO TATTERED?!! MY FRIENDS THOUGHT I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR!!!!!!! Anyway the ball looks seasoned so I shall stop complaining.

OG 4 Final Outing Sunday 5th March 2006

2006-03-05T18:32:00.000-08:00

Today I went to Bukit Arang for Combined Service, yes and then there was Annual Prize Giving at N5, but this si not what I want to talk about just yet. I left at 12pm to go home and change and wash up before heading to Changi Airport for OG 4's Final Outing. I reached the Airport at 2pm on the dot and waited at the MRT station. Yifei, Yi Xiang, Hyeimun, Daryl and Shem came at the same time without knowing that they were in the same train all along. Anyway we walked around Terminal Two and took photos while we waited for Yu Zheng to come. Yes..... after she came, we went to Terminal 1 via the skytrain. We went to Popeye's to eat some chicken and stuff. Filling but nice though and the price was reasonable. Li Zhen came alter and met us at Popeyes. We chatted and took more photos, then we walked around the Terminal. This is where the fun begins. After walking around the terminal, we felt bored so we wanted to go home, then we found that Hyeimun and Daryl were missing (they are always together). Anyway we saw that the sky train was crowded so we decided to walk to Terminal 2. We followed the path and ended up loitering around the OFFICE block aimlessly!!!! We walked for 30 minutes and ended up back at Terminal 1! Frustrating man!!! Anyway we ended up taking the sky train back to Terminal 2 and walked to the MRT Station. We boarded the MRT Train after waiting for 15 minutes! Anyway when we boarded the train we were prepared to wait another 5 minutes before the train departed as it was the end of the line. The door of the train kept closing and opening relentlessly and we suspected there was a problem. True enough, the door was jammed and could not close properly, so Yifei prompted me to close it manually and it worked! All I did was pull both doors together and we were on our way, yeah but I was embarrassed when they kept cheering.

MY LOST SOCCER BALL

2006-03-04T00:07:00.000-08:00

Yes I lost my one-and-only CHAMPIONS LEAGUE soccer ball. It is lost somewhere in the condemmed area between Bukit Arang and NYJC. But please, the place is dilapidated and DANGEROUS any attempts to search for it is FUTILE!!!!!!!!! Anyway this entry is to thank all the Bukit Arang Youth members who attempted to look for it, your efforts are not exactly wasted. Anyway, Thank You Timo for buying me a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never enjoyed the Champions League's design anyway, the Premiership Ball will be most appreciated by me and the whole BAY!!!!!!!

Friday 3rd March 2006

2006-03-03T23:57:00.000-08:00

Well today my class, CT06s09 went for our last outing together at Bugis Junction. As usual, people were late. Yes, as it was our last outing the mood was indescribable, me being the usual joker, did a handstand in the MRT Station, but forget about it.Anyway we went to Seoul Garden for our lunch. We did stupid things there too. Oliver cooked fried rice using the eggs and rice available and some of us made ommelettes.Yes it was fun, but we had to change our teppanyaki table THREE TIMES!!!! Some of us came up with creative concoctions such as ice-cream floats and then some. We spent time catching up with one another especially Rucy who withdrew from NY a month ago. We bid farewell to those who are going to other institutions and took a final photo (which I will put on my blog soon). Yes, and if you would like to see how our fried rice looked like I will put it on my blog too.

Joint Admission Exercise Results

2006-03-02T16:45:00.000-08:00

Today is Friday 3rd of March 2006. Two days ago there was a premature release of the JAEresults deemed as a hoax, but still a very contoversial topic. But anyway, today I woke up and rushed straight to the computer and I got into NYJC SCIENCE!!!!! I guess my fasting did pay off and I still continue to thank the LORD for giving me my first choice. Well I received a call from Abigail and she got into NY too. But the contents of the conversation are reserved only for Bukit Arang members. Emmeline got into AJC but she said she wanted to appeal to go to NYJC, I felt that odd because AJC IS BETTER THAN NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway the last hour has been exciting, people coming online to chat and discussing their posting, others not very happy, but anyway it is all part of God's perfect plan. I just realized how important the first three months were. I have friend who did better than me in the Os but did not get their choice so....... it is also good to be humble especially since doing well in the prelims do not always mean you will do well in the Os. An advice to all Secondary 4 students:Do well for both PRELIMS and O LEVELS. Trust me.

Yo today I fasted in school with a fellow Brother in Christ, Kai Wen. We had P.E> today and we played a very complex version of Dodgeball, it was fun though, I did get hurt rolling on the floor. Teng Shun and Nicholas were surprisingly good at surviving in the game!!!! Well after the P.E. lesson Kai Wen and I did not eat but went to I-Space to do our Quiet Time (Q.T.). I found a very profound verse in John 10:34-36 go and read!!!!!!!! Yep.... so after that we went for more lessons and concluded the day by going home. YES and at J8 I saw a reporter for Channel 5 and deliberately walked pass him (well I had to go walk in that direction anyway). I had a very big appetite and ate a pack of rice, a bowl of Maggi Mee and a bowl of cereal (YUM!). Have to carry on my fast tmr in sch.

Anyway I woke up at 1030am felt very disappointed as I could have slept longer. But anyway I SMSed Shem to inform him of my absence.I ate two bowls of cereal and 3 pieces of Chwee Kueh (spelling?) for breakfast and watched Band Of Brothers(nice!). Typical boring day without school, I should consult Abel on how he tides everyday without school. Anyway it is now 11.41am and I am going to the Library to borrow somemore Batman comics, oh yes I have Judo in the afternoon!!!!!! JudoJudoJudoJudo

Today I attended my first chinese tuition lesson in.... 6 months....unbelievable.... actually forgot how to read alot of words. I concluded the lesson at 1130 am then I went to Bukit Arang (my Church). There were members of BAYA (Bukit Arang Young Adults) practicing for the next day's Second Service. Gideon and I played basketball but I stopped halfway to slack at N5 but he, with his over zealousness over basketball, played on............ then we wrestled in N5... then we ate until 1pm when Leader's Meeting started.was there too. Only Abel, Gideon, Mike and I attended, but as usual the Bible Study was lively. As usual we shared about our week and Abel gave a detailed account on his week without JC and I gave one about how I avoided JC. Well today's leader's meeting concluded earlier than expected so I stayed on to play some more Basketball, much to the delight of Gideon.....played..played...then Moses came...then Aaron came....then I left, boring account but I forgot the exact details (for more details call me). Well then I went to J8 to purchase a top-up card and went home!!!!

I wanted to go back to NY for Judo, they wanted to go to NY to watch The One (our version of Singapore Idol). So we waited for the 58 to come but it took ages, so we took a cab and split the fare. Anyway we made it to school in time for our events. Man....... there is an Economics test tomorow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chemistry Lecture

2006-02-13T21:56:00.000-08:00

Hi..... I am blogging in school again. I went to the Chemistry Lecture with my class just now but got chased out because I wore half-uniform. I am unable to express my joy and happiness of being able to miss a lesson of Chemistry!!!!!!!!!! Not that I hate the subject, but it is just the teacher's sarcasm towards pupils that fuels my distaste towards him (chiken little).

Bruce taught Dick fighting techniques and detective skills for a grueling 6 months.
Finally, he had to pass a final test ,
" the Gauntlet " . Dick had to elude the Dark Knight on the streets of Gotham for one night " from sundown to sunrise " without any outside help.
He succeeded.

Inspirational Words

2006-02-11T22:57:00.000-08:00

In Batman#13, Ra's al Ghul's daughter and Robin were captured. Ra's al Ghul, being worried for his daughter and the fact that Batman was calm the whole time, questioned the Dark Knight saying " ....do you have any curiosity concerning my humble self? Have you no feelings ?" Batman gave a bold and logical reply : " Plenty of them!(He was referring to his emotions)
But it wont to any good to allow my emotions to gain control..... "

1 Night In Bay-jing

2006-02-11T22:18:00.000-08:00

Whoever is reading this blog and does not know what "1 Night In Bay-jing" is about, let me explain. The church I come from is Bethesda Church Bukit Arang, and the Youth Ministry is affectionately known as B.A.Y. or Bukit Arang Youths(thought I still have no idea what Bukit Arang means).
On the 11th of February 2006, we organised a Valentines Day party called 1 Night in Bay-jing, which subsequently contributed to the night's oriental theme.
Yep, but before the party I went to Moses' house to play Halo 2(duh!). Sherman also came with his family. It was actually a gathering at Moses' place for old friends (literally). We played...played..... then we wnet to BAY-Jing.
I invited my NYJC friend, Shem, to the party, though he came late. Yes we had fun..... my table had no girls, so when there were games that demanded couples we were in a dilema. We had a second dilemma.... in our table only Sherman and I were enthusiatic so we were volunteered for every event, no thanks to the other slackers at our table. The prizes for that night were quite standard, two movie passes to Golden Village(I didn't win any though).
The food looked good, but I had no idea that ANY would be provided so Sherman,Moses, Marcus and I stuffed ourselves beforehand... what a waste.

Haiz... I got 15, expected better, especially since I lost my bets to Bertram. Nevermind, so long as I can make it back to NYJC it is all that matters. Like I mentioned before, my results did not matter, but the fact that I can cope with it. Thank God that not many cried just now.

Grotesque Batman

2006-02-09T17:10:00.000-08:00

"Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot," said Wayne, "so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible..." As if responding to his desires, a bat suddenly flitted through the window, inspiring Bruce Wayne to assume the persona of Batman.

My First Blog

2006-02-09T17:04:00.000-08:00

Hello!! I know this is my first blog and i actually created this before I got back my O Level results. Yes I am feeling stressed along with the others. However, we cannot change our results by just worrying, what we can do is to cope with what is to come, the inevitable truth.
Good luck to everyone!
