hello world! :D tuition today was great!I think i might have the best tuition teacher there is, whatever topic the lecturer seems to take ages to teach he can teach us in one lesson, baik mr ng... tuition class has'nt been a drag mainly because of the great people in the class... everyone has been a joy to get to know... then it was yf after that and i have to say first time in the morning yf and the first impressions i got of them was that they are a warm and friendly bunch of people... i think merging yf's wouldnt be such a problem since they're such a welcoming bunch.. :D though i was reluctant at first because most of them were strangers to me.. lets just hope and pray that the Lord works in whatever way He thinks is best for both yf's

SLEEP!!!! I had a great 11 hours worth of sleep today and i feel really good... its been so long since i had more than 7 hours of sleep and this what exactly what i neede to recharge my tired self.. I'm someone who's cherishes sleep a lot, parting with sleep over the tiring weekdays is hard man...

MANUTD VS ARSENAL TOMOROW! What a match! Its bound to be a titanic clash... :D

Looking back at the photos of chiangmai and i really miss the kids back in that village on the outskirts of bustling chiangmai... the times when we got cooked in an artificial bbq seat.. the times when sam was king.. the times when jm braved the cold winds for food.. the times when we played checkers with big rocks and mini rocks and elder wee always won.. the times when we played soccer in that open field.. the times when the deacon rammed me with the trolley in the shopping centre... I MISS CHIANGMAI.. I MISS THE CHRISTIAN HOME OF LOVE..

Freshies all coming in for orientation today reminds me of the past... 2 years ago when we were all just new to this school and this thought of jc life... I miss those innocent times when all we could think about was getting to meet new people and learning about what we had to look forward to in the future... in 2008 we were like them wandering around the school not sure who to say hi to or how.. we're all the orientation veterans, going through 2 years of orientation LOL... thinking back at those nice memories of the 2 years in college it sure went by darn fast and now we're all in j2 struggling to keep up with the pace of work now... I've got to admit looking at the j1's i find some childish and immature, but i've got to remember that i was like that in the past.. coming to a jc really changed the way i think and look at life, the experience is constantly making me more objective about things, making me more responsible.. :)

Welcome to JC life J1's!

Everything happened these past two years that have'nt happened to me in my entire life... experiencing love like I haven't had before... improving in my social skills which i barely had coming from 10 years in a guys school especially towards girls... overcoming the shyness i had in the past... finding a new found talent... learning new subjects.. finding new found friends... friendly teachers everywhere in college which was hard to find back in montfort...facing challenges of sorts... these two years were probably the most fufilling two years i've ever had in my life... and for the year to come I'm sure there's more to learn...(though im not looking forward to all the stress of the a's :/- guess everything comes with a price tag at the end)

TO ALL THOSE OF MY FRIENDS ENLISTING IN FEB :D ALL THE BEST!

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE, GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!

I'm supposed to be doing my maths homework now... definite intrgrals is just too hard, i need to give my tired mind a rest... its school for the j1's tomorow and whoever's coming over to our school you all will love it im sure... :D my room is in complete shambles right now because the painting crew came over to my house today coat the whole house in white before the MELON colour comes in to brighten the walls of my room.. I've always thought yellow was awarm endearing and creative colour...this yellow is a nice yellow though not some shiny off the top yellow, the warm sunset kind of yellow... :) can't wait till the paint's up over the next few days... and i'll just have to bear with a messy room.. there's a cost and benefit to everything isnt there... I'm typing this in the comfort of the study corner in my house becuase my room is too messy to even attempt studying there...

Its been a while since our band got together to jam and i miss those old times when we rocked on a tune almost everyday and had bucketloads of fun... :D I know all of you are busy with living your life as a student and so am I, but we should meet up every weekend to jam again man... I still remninice that first gig where we all were so nervous practising it over time and time again, being so much of a success that people wanted encores... GUYS, SAINTS REDEMPTION FTW! :D

BACK TO WORK BACK TO WORK

GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING PEOPLE!

Don't stop believing- Glee
"Don't stop believing hold on to that feeling! streetlight people going on!"
This awesome musical series on starworld which debut last week. I like the theme song of this show, no matter where you are or what you're going through you just got to believe in yourself. :D

Will someone save me please? The workload is piling up and im suffocating under the pressure struggling to thread water... God with your soveriegn power and strength, I trust in You

Everyone has a talent on their own to share to the world... God never leaves anyone behind.. He gives each and everyone a talent like the parable in the Bible its how you use it and invest in that talent that makes miracles happen or even change the way people around you live...

It's funny how now I've gotten into JC life i'll reminise on secondary school life and think how much easier it was.. or when you're i secondary school you just wish you were back in primary school.. its just a hypothetical fantasy that makes us want to hate reality because we've lived easier lives in the past... but life never gets any easier every time you get older doesnt it...


AJ RAFEAL- Disney Medly
Sometimes Disney songs are extremely motivational... some might think its kiddy and pointless but honestly they impart great lessons to us, the melodies are great too.. i think he just did all the greatest disney songs in 5 mins.. brilliant! :D

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!!
Gotta get down to work now, im changed for the better, i hope :)

For in Him everything is possible

Something happened today that made me pause look up to the Lord and smiling in my thoughts because I knew He was there.. Training today and it was the last rolloffs, otherwise known as selections for the A divs for the bowling team... I didnt play to my full potential on wednesday the last training and I only had 2 hours and 2 games to prove that I was good enough for the team... I remembered saying a silent prayer to Lord telling Him that it was all His and that this was all never... the first game to me was pretty flimsy at times but towards the end of the last few frames i sort of got into the flow, eventually hitting 150... then the second game i used all my focus concentration and will power to hit 219, five strikes in a row and only one open frame!!! :D.. never had i been so happy in my life!..I could see everyone peeking over their shoulder to see what i'd done and the astonished looks on their faces and coach's high five made me so ecstatic.. i've never hit past 200 before and to peak at such a critical moment made me think... GOD ALWAYS CARES! THANK YOU DEAR LORD!

I dont know how, why or what came over me.. i just focused too much that after training, all the energy was zapped from me and i could only second guess what happened.. like in the book i recently read "Blink", its a moment in a time of desperation where everything seems to slow down and you can muster all strenght and push away all distractions for this one goal... PRAISE THE LORD!

I LOVE BOWLING :D

Looking like a desheveled mess

If you were to look at my life through a glass ball, it would look like a total and utter mess... my papers are everywhere in my room.. books all over the floor.. guitar in one corner and bedsheets in a mess... im just not a very organised person i must say.. though i dont like my life to be in such a mess im just too lazy to do anything about it.. LIFE'S GETTING WAAAAYYY TOUGH... tutorials, holiday work, tests and ct's... no way...

I've been getting much inspiration to study and do my work from my study corner in my house.. gone are the days when i study in my room and feel like sleeping because of my comfy bed... or my laptop just next to me when i study... I HOPE... That environment's pretty cosy.. except for the occasional moments when my brother and sister want to play the wii... life is complicated right now, extremely complicated...

2009 was a happening year, going out so much and hanging out most of the times.. I'm not expecting such enjoyment in the year to come... =(... where are my 3 hour breaks?!.. I may be naiive to want the past, but its just getting to me that i shouldnt have taken those chilling sessions for granted...

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!

Life's been extremely hectic these few days.. especially coming into the first week of school.. I've been getting alot less sleep.. from the usual 10 -12 hour sleep time in the holidays.. to the 6 hour sleep time now.. my body's still trying to adapt to that change and i'm feeling extremely tired.. especially over the weekends i really crave rest for the nights that i tried to study, for the nights that i tried to do some work... I'm liking the class this year.. even though we've known each other for only about one week i feel the ice starting to melt among us and all of us starting to warm up to each other..

I've got a feeling that at times when we want to people to think otherwise, we act very much the way we feel more instead of masking that feeling.. especially in the nervous way we talk when we're around a person we like.. or out facial expressions, like when we're irritated or dont like someone, your face just tells it all.. it doesnt hide what you actually feel even when words can... often have i thought about life and its meaning and wondered just why am i putting myself through all this.. but it turns out to be great.. because what science cant explain is God.. and without him life would never be so fufilling and great...

I'm a person who loves to hang out with friends over a meal or just sitting around chatting about things that come to mind... those kinds of things warm my heart.. those kinds of things make me happy.. its times like these in a pressure cooker like system that you've got to have friends every step of the way... :)

When our paths collided on that road.. You were heading one direction and I the other.. You gave me that sweet smile that I missed and tried so hard to forget but simply cant... You have this power to make time stop.. to bring all things into a bubble of space... i had to ask you how you were, i had to walk you back home cause i didnt feel safe leaving you alone... now i cant forget it.. now i cant tell you how much i still felt for you... I just have this natural instinct to protect you just because i dont want to see that beautiful smile of yours turn to a frown, or protect your fragile frame from harm... IM JUST TOO WEAK..

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!.. (p.s to steph- all the best for your CT's tomorow!!! will be praying for you ;D)

School is scary

HELLO WORLD.. Finally finding the time to blog after ages!!!... its been homework, homework and more homework over this past week and i'm still not done.. T-T

If you think life sucks wait till you come to jc2 and look at that packed timetable of yours and wonder, when am I ever going to get a break.. or listen to the vicarious warnings of what is to come and wonder, how life's going to be like from now on.. every teacher would tell you that this is going to be the biggest hurdle in your life and that even university exams later on dont come close.. your palms start to sweat as you wonder how life is going to be from now on.. brace yourself for impact, at least you try to...

Getting back into the groove after such a long and comfortable break is extremely hard.. especially since i've been spending the holidays sleeping in, overseas and going out with my friends.. I found the first day of school to be a wake up call of what is to come.. and now im trying to brace myself for the impact...the second day otherwise first day of full timetable got all of us in class sooo exhausted... so tired by all that work... its time to step up

Outdoor PE today was extremely fun.. and getting one day off from school and a little extra sleep because we were in wave 2 really helped.. :D I felt a lot closer to my classmates today playing all the games and I have a feeling it's going to be a good year in 2s23... getting wet pulling the canoe's in and out of the water... shouting instructions at each other while your friends wonder aimlessly in a blindfold.. captians ball... and that playground game... it was extremely great fun and i think i got sunburnt in the process... chilling at the playground after the debrief from mr diva was great fun to.. to just go around spinning on gigantic wheels, getting dizzy on the small spinning platforms, climibing the webbed pyramid, swinging on the swing, hanging on to a spinning wheel.. 2s23 owned the playground.. its great being so carefree and far away from the pressure and demands of normal life.. we really should go back to pasir ris park playground one more time :D.. then after that all we went tired and burnt to the bk's for dinner... WHAT A DAY :D.. 2s23 for the win.. (oh and not forgetting all of us guys making so much noise in that open shower...hahaha!)

Tomorow is another day of school... and tomorow I hope starts and ends well...

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!!

guitar soothes the soul

DEMI LOVATO- CATCH ME
Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick
But make it last
So i can see how badly this will hurt me
When you say good bye

Keep it sweet
Keep it slow
Let the future pass
And don't let go
But tonight i could fall to soon under this beautiful moonlight

But you're so hypnotizing
You got me laughing while i sing
You got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
And your love is where im falling
But please don't catch me

See this heart
Wont settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you'll do
my stomach screams just when I look at you

Run far away
So I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
I can't set my hopes to high
Cuz every hello ends with a goodbye

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where im falling
But please don't catch me

So now you see
Why I'm scared
I cant open up my heart without a care
But here i go
Its what i feel
and for the first time in my life i know its real

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've get me smiling in my sleep
And i can see this unraveling
And your love is where im falling
So please don't catch me

And if this is love
Please don't break me
I'm giving up
So just catch me
-End-

This song is meaningfully written by demi lovato.. its one of those songs you listen to and straight away can relate to.. sometimes its not just the love that you get into, its just that you dont want to get out of this fall even if you get hurt.. its what love does to you that makes this so real... And i can see this unraveling your love is where im falling so please DONT CATCH ME...

I've been reading this book for a few days now, just a few pages when i dont feel like doing anything or am about to sleep.. its called BLINK- the power of thinking without thinking.. something my aunt gave me for christmas.. and i felt it interesting because this book talks about how a split second intuitive judgement can be way better or as accurate as a long and deliberate judgement.. especially when you're a proffesional in your field and even in relationships a few seconds of a couple talking and let your predict quite accurately on how its going to end..

TIME TO GET CRACKING ON SOME CHEMISTRY WHICH I HAVENT TOUCHED ON AT ALL... SCHOOL'S STARTING AND ITS SAD TO FACE REALITY THIS WAY.. IN THE FORM OF RELENTLESS PILE THATS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE HOLIDAY, TILL NOW..

Its just me, my homework and the world.. time to dance

Games trial today was pretty alright, actually much a waste of time cos when i ended i just felt too shagged to do much or rather no homework at all... there goes another wasted day.. I got to head the first station which is in school and im pretty happy bout that!... meeting team publicity to do the video and i hope it all goes well!.. not forgetting the do work time with jx, jq, tegoeh and parthi tomorow at marina square..

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!

HELLO WORLD!!! :D... went to play in the cage with boon, parthi and shariful and a whole bunch of other extremely good people... 25 in total, each team of 5 rotating by a two goal winner in loser out rule... by the end of the day we're all shagged from 4 hours of soccer from 2-6pm... but it was great fun to be able to brush up on my dusty soccer skills and to test out the new preditino i bought from sportslink cos my predator tore into 2...had a few fine moments in the first few matches, assisted a few shots, attempted to camp at the front but failed, tried a bit of trickery here and there.. but after a while i got so tired my legs couldnt run anymore and the competition was too power pack... me, shariful, boon, parthi, joel, satish.. that was the 6 of us playing in a team subbing in a out for different matches... looking on the fact that we were up against school team players and captains and street soccer pros, we did pretty well.. :D After the tiring cage soccer session we went to chill at kallang leisure park at the bk's for our dinner.. it was great fun hanging out with the wusses again.. then boon, shariful, parthi and I decided to head down to Lavender to meet Aaron to play some lan on the way attempting to sneak into the netball association to check out the chicks playing netball.. i tell you they were looking at us in an odd way and thinking what in the world are these 4 guys doing coming into an all girls netball place? (hilarious).. then we met aaron at lavender and headed down to bugis for lan session of L4D2!!.. honestly i havent played lan in a while and im not much of a lan person but L4D2 is really too fun to turn down.. you get to be zombies hunting for the humans and pouncing on them.. you get to be humans killing everything that bleeds on its face in your sight, you get vomitted upon, you get pounced on, you get dragged by humongous toungues of the monsters... honsetly, i found it great fun...and now i know why jiaqin loves this game, im starting to like it too xD

WHAT A GREAT DAY...

P.s, i was supposed to at least do a bit of work today when i come back, but when you come back from half a day of soccer and at 11.30pm.. you just feel like sleeping... GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING!!!

RESOLUTIONS

I realised everytime a new year comes having resolutions is important because it gives us something to at least try to work at in the coming year.. I have a few realistic resoultions that I hope i can keep to this 2010...

RESOLUTIONS IN 2010!:
1) Less laziness please!
2) Getting closer to God more than I've ever been this year
3) Finish my holiday homework before school starts(honestly ive barely started)
4) Finish a half marathon this year(full mara's too much for me;D)
5) Study super hard for the a's even if i dont feel like it
6) Get a drivers licence!
7) Finish all my work on time and never lag behind
8) Silver for NAPHA
9) Get better than i already am for guitar
10) Getting into the team and doing well for the A divs(bowling)

10 resolutions for a 2010... i hope this year will mean im more focused and a brand new start would mean a whole different ending.. with God's grace I'm sure this is going to be a great year!

Okay im taking a little to long to write this post all because i got distracted on facebook... :D had a little bowling with the family today and i realized after not bowling for so long ive sorta lost my touch and all the pros were present at that sgcc bowling lanes today, ive embarassed myself.. and to think bowling will win something this year, at least we'll close down iwth glory!.. im going to fight my hardest and best for the A divs this year.. train like a mad dog and prove everyone wrong.. that SRJC is not some neighbourhood jc with big ambitions, but sr is a determined and united school and when we're together nothing can topple us down.. lets kill the competition bowlers :D

my guitar is getting scratches all over the place from who knows where and its heartbreak to see my precious guitar all tumbling because ive got no stand to hold it in.. damn..but the stands are so darn expensive.. if i were to factor in the shoes that im going to buy with the money my mum gave me for christmas.. there goes another month of saving... im not really a person good with money, i just spend when i feel like spending and im sure that's more or less hurt my dwindling bank account.. JUST A RANDOM THOUGHT

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON SMILING! :DD

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!... :D The countdown last night was simply magnificent... we came, we saw, we conquered... no thanks to us daring defying all lawful citizenship and dashing across the roads despite the whistles of the officers... but it was great fun thinking of ways and means... mijangling with the crowds and all, it was worse than a sauna.. but we ended up squeezing ourselves front row seats to the fireworks at esplanade and it was BEAUTIFUL!.. job well done boonhao, aaron and shariful, job well done... 5,4,2,1 Happy new year!!

the year 2009 has passed by in such a flash that I just can't believe its over really.. its been a magnificent year and i've met some magnificent people over this year that I have to take this time to thank... :D friends that have made the year what it is...I only can hope that the year to come 2010 will be as great as the year that has gone past..
