Happy New Year

2009-01-03T12:59:00.002+08:00

booked out in the afternoon
went home for lunch, french onion soup, turkey, rosemary pork and some salad.

NYE picnic @ hortpark with the ip homies
took lots of white pictures and did lots of white things

went to alexandra village for dinner with jiayi,weiliang,zhirong,jem,colin,joel,lou and jo and had the avocado shake and stewed beef noodles.

left for town with jiayi,weiliang and zhirong. walked to carrefour to get drinks and walked back to esplanade, found a spot on the grass patch to sit down and waited for countdown, which seemed like an eternity.

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 and the fireworks began! spectacular, simply fantastic and extremely loud. we had a awesome view and felt the full vibration of the ground.

hung around till the crowd dwindled down and then walked to smu to take a bus back to upper thomson then walked home. had some snacks and drinks cos some relatives were over and the swedish vodka mix from ikea was amazing and then slept around 4plus.

on New Yr's day woke up for 11am mass and then met Uncle Mervin and Aunty Jean and walked back home for a nice lunch of random leftovers with more drinks and then rested in the afternoon then woke up for dinner @ brazil meat buffet place at Katong Village, again truly fantastic meat and nice desserts.

2nd Jan - IP Guys + Friends outing

supposed to start at 830 but only me jiayi ben and zhirong were there, so we went up to eat cai fan breakfast special (nice hokkien mee) and then bryan came. justin and lou both came around 915 or so. jem and zm slightly later, so we played 7grade pig while waiting for the rest who were extremely late.

finally began our frisbee game. runners (bryan,jem,terence,ben) vs underdogs (me,justin,zhirong,jiayi and zm) underdogs won by golden goal. whoo

rested for a while then played our first soccer game in a long while. played striker first then scored 1, then played keeper and saved 1, back to striker and completed my hat-trick before playing keeper and saving a shot from justin at point blank range, but couldnt stop his final shot 5 mins later from going in.

lunch @ bukit timah food centre. had charsiew & roasted pork wanton mee. was really good. then went to play CS. never had this much fun playing lan, played some nice open maps and some ridiculously dumb maps but had tonnes of fun. loved using the AK, haha too bad the army doesnt have any.

went for dinner at al-ameen. mutton chop was a rip-off but the mee goreng seafood was pretty nice.

left for jelita for snacks and drinks then to jem's house for second round of 7gradepig, was extremely funny and such a cunning game. played texas hold em up and talked cock and sung westlife songs haha. went down for post midnight food and snacks then went up to sleep.

woke up around 9 and lazed around, left for home around 11 for lunch with Grandma and Uncle Mervin and Aunty Jean and my family.

and what better way to spread the festive cheer with an awesome song.

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

cos i want it that way

"It was the farthest point of navigation and the culminating point of my experience. It seemed somehow to throw a kind of light on everything about me - and into my thoughts"

Believe

2008-11-05T15:37:00.001+08:00

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

A Levels here we come

2008-10-27T21:42:00.001+08:00

We can go on forever with the darkness so far away
And the warriors who live forever
fight on 'till the end

Across the highest mountains
and through the endless seas
Our journey ever onwards fight until we all be free
Through the darkness shining
the neverending light
On through the days of glory rise towards the fight

And one day we will find a way
towards this distant golden age
The cries of war will sound the day
We stand before the dawn over a new world

Walking in my own metaphorical Memphis

2008-10-22T23:10:00.002+08:00

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Starchaser

2008-10-07T23:45:00.001+08:00

And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow,
Our journey on towards a brighter day,
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair,
Dream for all eternity, we stand, yeah,
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...

Free from this world, here for the last time,
Oceans collide inside of us all,
Believe who we are,
The phoenix will guide us,
Freedom will rise once again.

Everyone's a Little Irish

2008-10-07T23:42:00.000+08:00

Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame

Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I wanna go to Notre Dame

2008-09-28T22:58:00.002+08:00

Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send the volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to Victory.

Oh how I dream of the day I received a big package in the post which reads:
I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the University of Notre Dame

What a magical and blessed moment that will be! I'll be jumping up and down as the fight song echoes in my head.

Until then, I have to finish up my application, conquer the A levels first and retake my SATS, and then leave the rest up to God!

Angel

2008-09-24T21:43:00.000+08:00

I've got an angel
She doesn't wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home

She could make angels
I've seen it with my own eyes
You gotta be careful when you've got good love
Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying

But you're so busy changing the world
Just one smile can change all of mine
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh

2008-09-20T22:20:00.002+08:00

ahh someone mutilated one of celine dion's nicest songs "That's the way it is"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaWq8hQwKH4

way too fast and does not do the original justice at all! The original is amazing!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aETZqx2QpQM&feature=related

and for the record, mindless increase in speed tempo and adding techno like beats and other stupid digital enhancers to amazing original songs is not the way to go or should be done! i've heard many nice digital remixes and dance versions of songs, this does not cut it at all.

on another note, while Singapore is still showing the audition stages of America's Got Talent, the "live" show in America has already aired the Top 10 show and released the results of the final 5. Sadly Jessica Price, the blonde factory worker with an amazing voice, not to mention angelic looks with a girl next door personality has been eliminated, but nonetheless I'm glad to post her final video, which is a truly awesome rendition of Angel by Sarah McLachlan, which is also one of my fav songs of all time by one of fav singers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aETZqx2QpQM&feature=related

and im wondering since this is a "variety" show, how come a sweet blonde girl with a great voice like that gets eliminated while there are 2 opera style guy singers in the Top 5? they're both excellent as well, but what happened to the "variety" the judges kept on talking about in the early stages, or at least that the American public seem to want? Hopefully, we'll be seeing much more of Jessica Price in future!

90s music is surprisingly featuring tremendously on my youtube searches, my ipod playlists and in my head as well. I <3 the 90s yeah oh yeah! posting on the 90s group in facebook: http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204285338 brought back many great memories of a truly wonderful decade. the cartoons these days pale in comparison to what I grew up with. old nickelodeon pwns the current one! theres a facebook group dedicated to the old one. I WANT MY OLD NICKELODEON BACK! http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2211212638

and I wouldnt dare say the music these days can compare to the wonder and variety of 90s music either.

i'm no hopeless nostalgic but i'm just glad that i grew up in the 90s!

Dream Big

2008-09-18T22:08:00.001+08:00

Dream Big - David Cook

But if u dont dream big whats the use in dreaming.
If u dont have faith theres nothing worth believing.
It takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out, for something more

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
between what's real and make believe
here's the path we've all been searching for
So reach out, for something more

Holidays

2008-09-09T00:15:00.002+08:00

Had the best possible start to the holidays with KoiNoNia Outing at Botanics and BBQ dinner at Jervis' house.

Started the morning with a nice walk to Church with Jarvis and Alex which was really cool cos the sun was up and shining brightly promising a great day of fun in the garden. Settled down all the stuff in Church before surprising Jarvis with his birthday epiphone, the look on his face was quite priceless haha! He was stunned to say the least and noticeably touched.

Had a chartered bus take us to botanic gardens which still represents lots of natural beauty after all these years. brought back lots of memories when I used to go there almost weekly in primary school for picnics and all. started the day off with light praise and worship with As We Gather and The Steadfast Love and Come Away, which was quite calming, soothing, peaceful and amazing at the same time. Especially so when the sun shone brightly with little breeze, but there was a quiet but soothing breeze just as we sang the first chorus of Come Away. Shaded by nice palm trees made it even better, the sun seemed to darken as we sung and praised God, but the dark clouds seemed to halt above our heads and not push on into our side of the garden. Then came the walk in the garden, and decided to walk to the evolution garden, which did bring back some memories from my con3 camp, but did not have the same calming effect, probably because the sun was just way too hot at that time. The walk there though was nice, stretches of shade provided by canopy of trees almost formed in the shape of a tunnel was nice, and the lake with turtles and fishes was quite a wonder in itself. Nasi Lemak lunch was too. Post lunch we played frisbee for quite a while with the new orange frisbee I helped Jarvis buy on fri which was pretty fun and then went to get myself a ice cold bundaberg ginger beer yum! Started to rain (pour is a better word to describe the intensity) so we had to cut our picnic short and make a dash for shelter and take all our stuff with us.

BBQ at Jervis house was really fun, made me miss the Aqua BBQs we had during our term (house outing and chalet, ndc party and jts) not to mention the class bbq end of ip2 too, most of which i was usually one of the main chefs of the evening. today was no different. got my place behind the fire together with Sam and BenSew, forming the 3 musketeers who fanned the fire like siao to keep it burning till all the food was out while providing the audience with entertainment while belting out random songs playing from Sew's Ipod, with help from 3 very helpful ladies, Kit, Geri and Tarcia. Quote of the day from Sew "We cook, We sing, We should get paid man!" Absolutely spot on Sew haha! The food was pretty good, and although the initial batch of charcoal was not good and burned out very quickly, turned out okay in the end and we finished the charcoal just as we finished the last batch of food, cooked by the chefs for the chefs and assistants and the girls who had not eaten yet. The chicken fillets were especially tasty. Birthday celebration for Lenny followed, happy 16th dude! Roasted marshmallows proved to be icing on the cake for a great BBQ and to top off a great night.

Supper with Jarvis, Ben Byrne, Vic and Francis at Ming's and a slow walk back home with Jarvis, stopping by his house for a drink and chatted with him and Marianne who just got back too. Great day, Great night!

Other than that Holidays have been kinda simple and featured lots of rest and sleep. Had to miss out a dinner and stayover at Jem's due to a bad lip infection, which made me feel kinda tired throughout the week as well. Bummer!

Jesus in my life I see
You are God who walks with me
You hold my life in your hands
Close beside You I will Stand
I give all my life to You
Help me Jesus to be true

Jesus Christ Our Hope

2008-09-09T00:12:00.001+08:00

Hallowed be thy name
Come and let Your glory,
Come and let Your glory fall.

Our Father, who art in Heaven
The rocks cry out Your fame
Come and let Your glory,
Come and let Your glory fall.

I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song to the Lord

Let your kingdom come
Let your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Every eye proclaim
The mercy of Your name
On earth as it is in heaven.

God give us new every morning
Mercy his daily bread
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus we pray

And lead us, not to temptation
But deliver us with Your hand
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus we pray
Father we pray

I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song to the Lord

Let your kingdom come
Let your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Every eye proclaim
The mercy of Your name
On earth as it is in heaven.

For the kingdom is yours
And the power is yours
And the glory forever Amen
For the kingdom is yours
And the power is yours
And the glory forever Amen
For the kingdom is yours
And the power is yours
And the glory forever Amen
For the kingdom is yours
And the power is yours
And the glory forever Amen

To whom shall we go Lord? You alone have the message of eternal life and we have learned to believe and trust.

Fool for Christ

2008-09-07T21:39:00.000+08:00

Look like a Fool - Matt Maher

Some sing low and some sing higher.
Some just sing out like a bird on a wire
Waiting to fly home.

All God’s children are the apple of His eye
Even the ones we can’t stand sometimes.
But because you care just to go outside
And I need something to sing with this neighbour of mine

That’s why grace is so amazing
That’s why love is so absurd
That’s why I sing for a god unchanging
That’s why I don’t care if I look like a fool

All God’s people got a reason to live
Joy for the hard days and true love to give
So we raise our hands and lay down sin
And remember the days our freedom began

That’s why grace is so amazing
That’s why love is so absurd
That’s why I sing for a God unchanging
That’s why I don’t care if I look like a fool
His grace is so amazing
That’s why love is so absurd
That’s why I sing for a God unchanging
That’s why I don’t care if I look like a fool.

Feeding the hungry
Clothing the naked
Giving the homeless a place to rest
Visiting the prisoner
Lifting up the lowly
By your fruits

May you shine on us
May you shine on us
Shine on us
Oh shine on us

In Christ Alone

2008-09-05T22:27:00.001+08:00

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

Canticle of Brother Sun

2008-08-31T23:28:00.000+08:00

Most high, omnipotent, good Lord,
Praise, glory and honor and benediction all are thine.
To thee alone do they belong, most High, and there is no man fit to mention thee.

Praise be to thee, my Lord, with all thy creatures,
Especially to my worshipful brother sun,
The which lights up the day, and through him dost thou brightness give;
And beautiful is he and radiant with splendor great;
Of thee, most High, signification gives.

Praised be my Lord, for sister moon and for the stars,
In heaven thou hast formed them clear and precious and fair.
Praised be my Lord for brother wind
And for the air and clouds and fair and every kind of weather,
By the which thou givest to thy creatures nourishment.

Praised be my Lord or sister water,
The which is greatly helpful and humble and precious and pure.

Praised be my Lord for brother fire,
By the which thou lightest up the dark.
And fair is he and gay and mighty and strong.

Praised be my Lord for our sister, mother earth,
The which sustains and keeps us
And brings forth diverse fruits with grass and flowers bright.

Praised be my Lord for those who for thy love forgive
And weakness bear and tribulation.
Blessed those who shall in peace endure,
For by thee, most High, shall they be crowned.

Praised be my Lord for our sister, the bodily death,
From the which no living man can flee.
Woe to them who die in mortal sin;
Blessed those who shall find themselves in thy most holy will,
For the second death shall do them no ill.

Praise ye and bless ye my Lord, and give him thanks,
And be subject unto him with great humility.

-St Francis of Assisi

PRELIMS ARE OVER!

2008-08-28T22:47:00.003+08:00

and just like that prelims have come and gone! whoo! couldn't be happier that they're over!

and I got through it with the grace of GOD, for with God nothing is impossible

funny how as I was studying for lit yesterday, I was inspired by certain para-rhymes Owen used and some nice quotes and used them to write some poetry inspired by themes from Great Expectations, which certainly made last night a very productive one. two lines from the first one I wrote titled Kiss from a Rose (the rose being Estella for those who have read GE and the song of course made famous by Seal from one of the earlier Batman movies, awesome song but nothing to do with GE)

Resistance is futile they say and I know better than to oppose
For I am pulled by strings that drag me towards a compelling rose.

and the holidays promise a bit of rest and relaxation, some frisbee, and much philosophical considerations and intellectual stimulation.

2008-08-24T13:10:00.001+08:00

You're my sunshine after the rain
You're the cure against my fear and my pain
Cuz I'm losing my mind when you're not around
It's all, It's all because of you...

its times like prelims that make u listen to 98degrees all over again just like the good old 90s!

A Student's Prayer

2008-08-20T21:36:00.002+08:00

Creator of all things, true source of Light and Wisdom, lofty source of all Being, graciously let a ray of your Brilliance penetrate into the darkness of my understanding and take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, sin and ignorance.

Give me a sharp sense of understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally. Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanation, and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress, help in the completion

Through Christ, Our Lord

(Written by St Thomas Aquinas)

Time of the year

its the time of the year again when I really miss my council days. yes its about a wk to NDC and my dear juniors are busy preparing for the performance of their life @ NDC08 to bring back the NE CUP trophy to AQUA for the 4th time in a row and the 5th time in 6 years. Going down to see how my juniors are doing today really made me miss the times i stayed back with sam, fel and nor and the aqua councillors, ogls and house affiliates to make props, paint banners, rehearse lines, and plan stuff. also makes me miss my wonderful adhoc comm NDC06 and the amazing times we had together. i miss all the early morning meetings (got so used to it that if we did not have a meeting, i would still come at the same time and sloth myself on the comfortable reclining chair in the Council room) crapping, running around, doing rehearsals, staying back in school until the guard came to chase us out, sleeping over before NDC, having 2 hours of sleep because of torrential rain, the best NDC ever, battle of the bands, interhouse cheering competition and Aqua winning NE Cup. i miss the 39th and the fun times, the busy times, the times when we were so stressed out together, the times when we cried together when we were about to step down, the times we slacked in CR together, the times when we came to school before the sun rose and went back way after the sun set (nearly 3/4 of our days in council), 615 meetings, GMs, elects camp midnight macdonalds, pre adhoc madness, post adhoc joy and celebration, going around in the lion suit (scoring a penalty and dancing on stage with chriselle's band in the process), holding the flags in the morning, orientation, the amazing fun we had with aqua ogls, food outings, the times i introduced sam, nor and fel to good food. but most of all i miss the people who made my council life the best that it could possibly be. my hat, my adhoc comm and every single one of you who made the 39th so special for me. it was an amazing term, and amazing year and a time in my life i will not ever forget.

God is Forgiveness

2008-07-19T22:50:00.002+08:00

on the 10th of July, something pretty amazing happened.

started out like an ordinary thursday morning waking up late because assembly starts late on thurs and as I walked to the bus-stop it started to drizzle and after i got on the 852 it got worse. so the bus made its way to school and the tune of the taize song "God is Forgiveness" popped into my head, funny thing is i could remember the whole song except the first line "God is Forgiveness" and so i just hummed it in my head with the rest of the lyrics and it kinda brought me joy. and then just as the 852 was reaching the school bus stop, i pressed the button but somehow the bus driver happily chose to forgo our stop. i was so pissed at that moment every swear word i knew came out. and with the anger in the mind, the song popped out of my head and i got off at six avenue and crossed the road in the pouring rain getting even more angry and was soaked and got on another bus to take me back to school. and then as i was walking into school the taize song popped into my head again, this time with the first line ringing clearly in my head. i was like argh ok God i get the message i'll forgive him and i'll move on with the day and then just like that i gave the anger to God and it brightened up my day and i could hum the song cheerfully again. and then as i walked up the stairs to the canteen i saw a lovely rainbow, i was like wow God what a beautiful thing to show me, especially after the rain had stopped. and then as i stood looking at the rainbow more closely when i was at the canteen it was the most beautiful and biggest and complete rainbow i have ever seen, in fact for a while there were actually two of them. simply amazing. message of the day: there's always a rainbow at the end of every storm if you care to look closely and forgiveness brings tremendous joy and peace!

God is forgiveness
Dare to forgive and God will be with you
God is forgiveness
Love and do not Fear!

For Your Love

2008-07-19T22:46:00.000+08:00

All the gold in the world
Is nothing to possess
If all the things that it can bring
Can't add up to one ounce of your happiness

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

A diamond that shines
Like a star in the sky
Is nothing to behold
For minuscule is any light
If it can't like you brighten up my soul

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

I could have never fathomed this
Such joy , love and tenderness
That you give to me
For the love I feel inside
It's so wonderful I can't hide
And I glow, I glow
With just the thought of you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

And for your love
I would do anything
Just to see you smile upon your face
For your love
I would go anywhere
Just you tell me and I'll be right there

its ma birthday

the 4th of July

i had the best 4th of july weekend this year :)

celebrations started early this year with a nice dinner with la famiglia on 29June at Ben&Jerrys at Dempsey Hill, had an awesome egg and steak sandwich, lovely blueberry pie which eleanor recommended and a superb daiquiri cocktail (white rum and lime) the atmosphere there is grt too its like your in another country, its so cool. :)

then the preparations for the white boy's party began during the week. mum bought awesome bratwursts at carrefour on thurs and nice sliced honey baked ham too, they're nice n big n juicy. and dad bought booze pretzels nachos and mustard on fri. altogether he bought 18 shandys (3 6packs), 8 hoegardens, 6 corona, 4barcardi lime, 3 hooch orange and 3 hooch blackcurrant. well all that added together makes for all the things needed for a great whiteboy 4th of july party :)

homies came around 7 and were just amazed by how good the brats were and how they exploded with juice in their mouths and the lovely bite of good thick sausage in each one. well before that, how many of them got to my house was really hilarious a bit white too, weiliang got sent so he arrived early, justin and colin were the only ones who managed to follow my simple directions in the sms and got here on their own, jem and johnson decided to walk to my house from the busstop after macritchie, ernest, jiayi and wilbert took the bus from the j8 side of the road and stopped at whitley and wandered into sin ming (the car repair place there) and got lost so they took a cab to my place. ben and terence both came late bcos of OAC challenge both both got here on their own as well. and after one round of sausages came the wonderfully honeyed ham (by yours truly of course) which went great with the pineapple and mustard. then cheers all around when i brought out 2 6-packs of shandy which was accompanied by our rendition of nelly's ride with me:

the real lyrics are
If you wanna go and take a ride wit me
We three-wheelin in the fo' with the gold D's
Oh why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)

i think we sung it as:
If you wanna go and take a ride wit me
I say pitcher with the doe and the does-si-dy
Say why do I live this way? (Hey, pass me the money)

the second line in our rendition looks rather gibberish its sounds more than words haha.you could say it sounds like a country song gone bad. well one day when we make our millions we'll be getting a nice stretch low rider limo with whacked out suspension so we can sing this song while we bounce and get hammered with booze. bad neighbour came out of the lift while we were singing and stared at us for a while like he was pissed or something. what a playa-hater!

brought some beer out and there was a split in the house over which beer was nicer, hoegarden or corona with a sliced lemon at the top, some thought corona was better eg. Justin, some thought hoegarden was better eg. Johnson, some though both sucked eg. Weiliang. quite unlike the Unanimous decision on the wonders of shandy, hooch blackcurrant and barcardi lime.

quote of the day by ernest: "what a cool name hoegarden, heaven on earth i mean, a garden with hoes hahaha." dont even get me started on what he did with/to the shandy cardboard, believe me you don't wanna know, if you remember the powerbank incident in ip2 at the library it was something like that only worse. oh and ernest got completely pwned by my god-brother little timmy who's five.

of course no party is complete without some gambling, so with weeliang as our banker, we tried our luck at blackjack, everything seem to be going weeliang's way till we started singing pass me the money and with wilbert cutting the deck i think we had 2 people getting blackjack in the same round a few times.

and then cake cutting with the trickiest candles ive ever seen, but it was pretty fun and funny at the same time, some more boozing with the hooches and barcardi making their rounds and then some more blackjack and then the highlight of the day: the birthday taupok. twice. the first time they got on, colin was pushed off the side by justin i think, and we have evidence to show that justin is constantly jumping on top of taupok in a wrestling move and pushing people off the sides so the second time he goes first, just on top of me so no monkey tricks at the top. and then the rest climb on and the pile was really high and then the traditional happy birthday pile hump with white boy replacing my name and then the trademark finisher with ben pouring chinese medicated oil aka fengyou all over me. and then time to say goodbye and rub off the fengyou on all the conspirators and walk them over the bridge with an encore of pass me the money.

what an awesome night! its hammertime with the white boy! very nice i like its sexytime! :)

nothing gets better than a party like this. 3 words, meat, booze and of course homies.

ki dream

2008-06-12T12:10:00.003+08:00

a few days ago i had a ki dream, well not really totally ki, just dreamt of mr dio bugging me for my ki is haha, maybe its a sign, sadly i did not dream of interviewing a colourblindness expert or reading some awesome book.

Jesus I belong to You

2008-06-12T00:34:00.002+08:00

I'm not sure where to start with the first post after so so so long...well j2 has been quite a whirlwind year, everything's at double the pace and before I know it, it's gonna be prelims and A levels and then go on to serve the nation. Medical was this morning, and im PES BP which means i'll prob go in after A levels, prob early Dec.

Mundanities (sounds cool though i dun think it exists, noun to describe everyday life events) aside, I think this year has been special in so many ways, it has really been built on the firm foundation on the will of God, after an awesome december holidays last year which was so grace-filled it would be impossible to forget. I was just so blessed to have so many opportunities presented to me to develop my faith and my gifts and talents and I'm just honoured to play a small role in building His Kingdom. I went to help out for Con1 Camp recon night and led worship with pintu, joanna and jarvis and it was just so so wonderful to see the youth worshiping and adoring Christ with all their Heart. and just like the message for all the con1s from Fr Frans, I'm reminded everyday to grow more aware of my identity as a Son of God and a co-worker in building His Kingdom and become more committed to the Will of God in my life.

With all I am

into your hands
i commit again
with all I am
for you Lord

you hold my world
in the palm of your hand
and I'm yours forever

Jesus I believe in you
Jesus I belong to you
you're the reason that I live
the reason that I sing
with all I am

I'll walk with you
wherever you go
through tears and joy
I'll trust in you

and I will live
in all of your ways and
your promises forever

2006-03-10T13:17:00.000+08:00

Well assesment week is over and I am free, for the moment at least...
Well i guess on the whole it was ok but you'll never know till you get the results so i'll just save on the comments, and try not to think too much about it...
my throat still hurts which kinda stinks, but thankfully i was well enough to sit for the papers after missing the first day due to fever..
cc4 camp starts tommorrow and i m looking forward to a great experience...looking back i wrote about cc3 camp about 4 entries back, a clear indication of how often i blog haha oh well but i guess it it isn't the one of the more important things in my life anyway...
ms ting asked me to go for ntu geog challenge and i said YES! well i hope it will be a good and enjoyable experience with geniuses alongside me, dan and linh!
april is gonna be a busy month, holy week, odyssey of the mind, ntu geog challenge, ifd with the aqua candidates, council elections...i sure hope it is a meaningful, enjoyable and thrilling one!
the first term of the yr, the fifth of ip has ended, and i am still enjoying the ip...well no i am not being cheesy, but seriously the experience has been good. aside from the stress and a truly hectic lifestyle, there are so many great buddies who go through it with you, countless opportunities to enrich yourself and broaden your horizons, and an environment which encourages learning and the quest for knowledge. especially this year the subjects have been a lot more challenging and interesting.
been listening to corrinne may a lot recently..she is a tremendous singer-songwriter who has very easy listening tunes with great lyrics, often on life, which is great in stressful times, its singers like these that fulfil the phrase, "Music, food for the soul"

some wonderful lyrics from her songs

"Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows you've come to"
-from Save Me

I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
Everybody wants a piece of me
And I just don't know where to turn
I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
And wash away my troubles with lemonade
Play hide and seek with the boy next door
Take a trip to Singapore and
Imagine how I'll make the world a better place
-little superhero girl

I can be free I can be free from this place Beautiful healer Beautiful graceHelp me to seeEverything fall into placeWake me from dreamingNo more deceivingBreak these chains-free

The river runs and the river hidesOut to the ocean and under the skyI promise you, the answer will comeHold on to patience and watch for the signEverything in its time
I often feel like I'm two steps behindSomebody must have moved that finish line-everything in ts time

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms
I find the strength to believe in me again
-safe in a crazy world

Oh well i guess it is just that time again once every few months when my stomach kinda gets rid of all the crap that is inside...kinda used to gastric flu now but it still hurts pretty bad everytime...not being able to eat properly for a few days...so yah i went to sch last monday but left because of vommiting and diarrhea...basically barely ate over the next few days and slept a lot...05 guyz came over to my house on thurs and really made me feel better...i guess the whole experience made me really know that i am really loved by so many grt pple...frenz who asked how i was over sms and who were so glad to see me on mon and even the lovely teachers who asked how i was...thanks to everyone who showed their care and concern...i really means a lot to me...managed to watch the Godfather on dvd, one of the few fruitful things i did during my mc...and believe me it is a classic a must-watch...simply classic...left me with a few thing to ponder as well..."Famiglia-everything for the family"...

2005-07-13T21:05:00.000+08:00

so much has happened since the last time i blogged...
went to melacca and bought a really nice lions-all blacks cap...
servers camp was pretty fun...
youth fest was a exciting and really fun experience...
lions lost all 3 matches which really stinks considering this was supposed to be the best ever lions team...well i guess they were all just off-form...or maybe we were just unlucky to have lost so many influential players...dallaglio in the 1st match of the tour...and o'driscoll and richard hill in the 1st test...shall not talk about how Umanga definitely should have been fined and suspended for injuring O' driscoll...
my birthday celebrations were great
thanks to everyone who made it grt... my family, my friends, the lovely pple from church and of course the 05 guys...
London won the bid for 2012 olympics which is great because i'll be 22 and might get a chance to catch it yeah...

aunty jean is back from new zealand for 2 wks and it is great to see them again...timmy and erica have really grown up and are great bundles of joy as ever...just brightens your day...

CC3 Camp/ YLTC

2005-06-10T14:57:00.000+08:00

CC3 camp....2 words to describe it...wonderful encounter...i realli benefitted tremendously from the camp...it was just so peaceful and joyful ..a warm embrace from God letting me know he has planned my life and he is there every step of the way...Thought of the day...If u wanna make God laugh tell him your plans...what a great retreat...left me feelin so much more at peace with myself and my life....we watched a video on the 1st day about the father's love letter to us....if u wanna see or read it go to www.fathersloveletter.com ...realli beutiful...to all my frenz pls do read it...

YLTC...u can go thru lectures and workshops but nothing can prepare a leader like a training camp like YLTC...somehow all the lectures that i went through hearin the same old stuff...all fitted into place...this camp realli put all these lectures into experiences...that i would never forget...and i have gained tons from this experience...i have proved to myself that i can perservere through tough times...and i thought it was the best possible followup to cc3 camp...what better way to perservere thru the mentally and physically tough times of the camp...

My most memorable moment was of course my rock wall climb...thanks so much to fos and the trainers there for their encouragement and support...i would have come down much faster if not for u guyz...i gave my best...i let my mind control my body...there were times when i needed to rest and then i carried on...the perserverance that God gave me...the strength from within that kept me goin...when i closed my eyes while on the wall...it all came to me...the peace...the experiences at cc3 camp....thank u Lord for always being my father...for guiding me up that wall and keeping me goin...yes i did not reach the top...but to me, i scaled my own personal mountain...fos u guys made the right decision in askin me to come down...i could not go further....at least not on that day...reachin for a grip that seemed so distant yet so close...still i really want to reach the top and one day i will...somehow...someway...someday...

Life is like a rock wall
Never straight and simple
Full of ups and full of downs
Rough and Tough
Tiring and Painful
Humbling but yet exhilarating
Sometimes you need to rest and recuperate
But you keep on going
The finish line feels so close but yet so far
Yet there is always hope
Hope that when you meet a gripless section
You will jump and reach for greater heights
The encouragement from below
And you feel lighter
You feel stronger
The light at the top beckons
The overcoming of physical weakness
The triumph of the power of mind and faith
The strength of the human endurance
For Impossible is Nothing

I learnt a lot from the second day...One word...Balance...Yes balance dont laugh because it is key in leadership...there are always two sides...both being normal human responses...but there has to be a balance...fos thank you for that lesson that we all learnt together...

3rd day we were waken up early for a morning hike...at first i was dreading it...i was barely awake...but still i pushed myself...i thought i would still give my best anyway...and i learnt from it...the trust that i put in the group walking down slopes...the sense of fulfilment when i reached the top...and then as we were goin down it started to rain...and the support for everyone was tremendous...the lightheartedness the rain seemed to bring almost made it seemed like showers of blessings...i ran and ran and ran...and it felt good when it was over...i did it...
Dragon boating was fun but was over pretty fast...we had debrief and sharings and then it was farewell...YLTC 2005 we did it...we came, we saw , we conquered...everyone who helped esp. Mr Loh and Qianyi...and all the trainers...u guyz rock...To FOS it was grt being with u guyz...thanks a million for the experience...

Softball Camp/ YLTC precamp

2005-06-01T16:35:00.000+08:00

Softball camp was well pretty fun...but very very tiring as well...
Started the camp with pt...i mean physical torture...what a way to start a camp huh...i had a full stomach on bread and ham...felt giddy after stepups and stopped..this was combined with a very upset stomach...felt like puking but as hard as i tried it wouldn't come out...then we played games which was real fun...eating bananas off the field haha...catchin fallin eggs...we washed up and went to adam rd for lunch...then we had trainin which was pretty gd...my throwing was ok gotta improve on consistency...bunting was ok...really trained my eyeing...then we went for dinner at KAP...and came back washed up and watched THE LONG RUN...the first part was really boring but Jen's talk was really effective...well i realised we gotta be more disciplined and serious during trainin...and have a raceplan and be focused...then me weiliang and wilbert and ernest talked and talked and then fell asleep...
second day...me, wilbert, weiliang and ernest had lunch at the coffeeshop behind school( near the gelato place) and the wanton mee was really gd...then we went to kallang for dragonboating which was fun except for my neck ache and muscle ache...

2005-05-29T01:06:00.000+08:00

after school, me justin and ben went back to sji...oh boy did it feel grt to go back...got to see mrs chong, the best ever lit teacher, who is leaving sji for unfortunately rjc...when she said she was leavin i honestly thought she was comin to njc...bcos she was a njcian herself and knew the pple here...i was momentarily stunned and happy and then my worst fears were realised...she slipped from our grasp and is gonna become a gryphon...it was pretty sad that she did not come to njc...but theres hope that maybe before i graduate, she just might...she is the best teacher that i ever had...with her passion for lit and her wonderful connection with her students...sji will really miss you....well its sad to see the special 2 teachers that made my 2 years such a blast have left, mr bamanshaw, i hope you are enjoyin yourself in moe as a guidance counsellor...history was grt fun with you around...well the best of luck to the two of you, and i am really certain you will get to see us very soon...believe me...theres likely gonna be some form of a 202 gatherin and it wouldn't be complete without u guys...Oh and we managed to see mr foo as well, who again amused us with his seemingly nearly indecent sense of humour...surprising at his age really, to still be talking about things like that....
Then i went down to see the ncc guys...pretty nice to see them all again...talked for a while to weiqi, and it seemed to be something that really felt good...just talking about how different secondary and jc life is...
Then went back to nj with justin, and bummed around for about an hour...just hangin with the the aqua pple that were taking part in the touch rug comp...they got 2nd...wished i could play but i did not have pe attire...darn...
Headed up to lt1...and waited...and waited...and waited for ben and justin to arrive...there were 3 plays...the first a very heartening tale about standing by someone in their time of need...the second a hilarious speed dating comedy and the third the brillant syf gold winning play...they were simply brillant...hats off to all drama pple esp. our dear bulter..jacko aka jeremy...
Then we went to KAP for a late dinner, me , jus, jem and ben(03)...and yah just crapped around....gotta hav a class outing in june....

The next two weeks is gonna be real fun, tiring, exhausting, meaningful, enriching, well basically a mixture of everythin...realli lookin forward to it...softball camp, yltc, cat class camp..and then the wk aft that servers camp...

College Day Holiday

2005-05-16T18:13:00.000+08:00

Oh well... i spent the college day holiday studyin for maths test on fri...still understanding the sine and cosine rule...oh well...life's like that...at least i got some rest...waking up at 10am...i love all these study days...at least u can take things slowly and not have so much stress....n u can have a lot of rest...college day was a blast... smsed mr goh to tell him about our success...and made a joke about sacrificing my pride for our class...it was a joke and i really did enjoy myself...and he gave me that quote(later in the entry)...

College Day...

Tried my absolute best not to worry about next wk.
Woke up at 730 because i had to get to tuition by 830.
Because of that i had to skip training so my maths can get back on track.
After tuition, had the best nasi lemak on earth at adam rd and mum sent me to school.
When i reached school, saw the softballers starting to pack up and ms ling was gonna treat us to ice kachang at adam rd...so nice...i was thinkin that i should have stayed there...
Then i left with wilbert to come back to school and could not find the class...then i walked to the benches and voila...there they were...charlyn was like u r gonna be the springroll...i was like oh ok...then while charlyn and elaine were getting the cardboard which i was gonna wear ready...i was totally getting high...imagine playin with a balloon ensuring it doesn't touch the ground with jem...really dumb but very fun...
so i got into my suit and it was so funny...said something like hi...i am bob. the springroll..i am tall, dark and handsome...and i can be yours for....n i thought of some stuff to say...went around sayin hi i am bob...the springroll...then the councillors started poking me and wanted me to say hi i am bob everytime they poked...super funny...councillors looked so bored until they saw me...Haha...ip02 laughed like krazee as well...and i took pictures with long(dressed in pjs) and ernest who were their mascots.
Went around before the fair actually started...saying hi and tryin out new lines...like u wanna hear a yo mama joke(from russell peters)...yo mama so fat...when she jump for joy...she get stuch u know why? because she did not eat a springroll...and another russell peters...be a man...do the right thing...buy some springrolls...so many pple were like so cute...so funny...haha..
More lines: U wanna rock, u wanna roll, buy a spring roll. This stuff better than crack, gonna keep ya rockin and rollin...so i basically walked up and down the linkway making a huge fool of myself and entertaining the pple setting up the stalls... When it actually started, i continued to wander to more cheers, bob u rock...u r so cute as well as some person who was like," u ip1 issit, f***in no pride" well all i got to say to that guy is if you are gonna spend your whole life worrying about what is embarrasing or not...then you will never have fun...wonder why some pple think that way?...oh well...his loss not mine...i still had lots of fun..."and it takes someone of great confidence to realise that pride is not an esteemed value as compared to self confidence" Mr Goh Soon Hoe, thanks for the quote...Oh and college photographers took millions of pics of me...half of me wishes that those pics become covers on the net and on the annual...half wishes them to never be published...oh well, we'll just see...pretty cool being in the spotlight...thnks to the video guy for spending at least 3 mins videotaping me...oh and by about 10 mins of the concert interval, we were sold out...thnks a milliom to those who bought...
Everyone was so happy...guess we made a decent profit...thanks to everyone in the class...everyone has helped in one way or another...from the planning...till the end...thnks to the cooks who spent so long and hard cooking the food...to the logistics and decor for brillant decor and publicity and setting up of the stall...to everyone for selling the food and for tending the stall...I love 05ip05...u guys rock...college day was such a success because of u...
Then we had cheers and of course....i got dunked....oh and then mr cheng...came up to us said grt job and all and reminded us to clear up...quote of the day"Make sure he doesn't drink anymore, and he cleans up" he told xin yuan referring to me as being overly intoxicated...
The tables were very dirty and we used soap and scrubbed...me, jem and ben...oh and fear factor...smelling the tables with fish sauce and vinegar and oil...boy was it nasty...
Then we went to watch the last bit of the concert and went home...
College day...The best day that i have had in a long long time...

Follow Your Heart

2005-05-10T23:25:00.000+08:00

Never give up on ur dreams...hold onto them no matter what anyone says...for the light inside of you will lead you through...till you can dance on the clouds

Follow Your Heart- Nikki Webster

There's a place inside of us,
Inside me and you,
Somewhere out there in the air,
Out there in the blue.

Beyond the mountains and horizons,
Out there where the rainbow rises,
Fairy tails really do come true if you.

Follow your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Follow them wherever they may lead.

There's a light inside of us,
A shining star to guide us,
Follow your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Right from the start.

If I only had one wish,
Here's what I would do,
I would wish that everybody,
Could feel the way I do.

Somewhere out there in the moonlight,
There's a place beyond the sunshine,
Dancing on the stars is what you do when you.

Follow your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Follow them wherever they may lead.

There's a light inside of us,
A shining star to guide us, Follow your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Right from the start.

Somewhere out there in the air,
Out there in the blue,
Out there where the rainbow rises,
Fairy tales come true.
Follow your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Follow them wherever they may lead.
There's a light inside of us,
A shining star to guide us,
Follow your heart,
Follow your dreams,
Right from the start.

well its wednesday...or rather nearly thursday...our first tests are on fri...the work is really testing my endurance...my strength to keep going although i know there just isn't enough time...well theres always hope...no matter what...no matter when...and i believe in it...

its times like this when u beg for serenity in your life when u would normally dismiss it as a waste of your time...when u pray for some order and direction and divine guidance...when all you need to hear is take care...well in two weeks it will all be over and we have a month to recuperate or catch up...talking to my friends in jc, they get a sudden shock when they come to jc and they have to keep on the ball with their work unlike secondary school when u leave it to the end...oh well i guess we are getting that at sec3...maybe we are just not ready but hey better now then at j1...at least we dun have a serious examination anytime soon...

Glad i still have time to myself to look at my life in retrospect and think of how to keep on going... what keeps me going? many things...hope, the fulfilment of success, the knowledge that i have developed God's gift to me, my optimism, my friends and my family...

I dun see any point in talking about subjects which i don't really understand (neither does anyone else really)...i'll just try my best...nothing short...the_one_hobbit will go the distance...I WILL...

keep it for a rainy day

2005-05-07T13:38:00.000+08:00

oh well they say u ought to keep it for a rainy day... well for the 3rd time...njc softball match vs rjc was postponed because of the terrible rain...seems that it just wont stop raining when we play rj... oh well pple came up with grt ideas to decide the score of the match...coin toss...haha yes...or better still reggie said vs them in lan...oh n their fields looked a padi field in the rain...

So we tried our best to find the driest way out of rjc...and surprise there is no sheltered walkway..so one up for njc haha...and we went to Macs at j8...just me, wei liang, wilbert, ser jing, leon, reg, pok and thang... me and reg coined a new term...Big Mac...for Big Marijuana AddiCts...had a grt time laughing at the dumbest things basically just humour therapy in these stressful weeks...its outings like these that make me so proud and glad to be part of such a grt team of hilarious guys...njc softball rocks my world...its not all about winning...its about playing your best and playing as a team...go the distance njc softball...

pple have been asking me why i keep posting songs or lyrics so i shall take this time to explain myself...well to me music is food for your soul and your mind...songs are poems written with a vision...to inspire...to give hope...the songs that i have posted speak of the strength of the human soul and inspires all of us to never lose hope and just to keep on trying...so hope those songs speak words that u need to hear during these times...

When its all over

NORAH JONES LYRICS
"The Long Day Is Over"
Feeling tired
By the fire
The long day is over

The wind is gone
Asleep at dawn
The embers burn on

With no reprise
The sun will rise
The long day is over

its songs like these at the end of the day that make these all worthwhile....
just sit back by the fire...
enjoying the essence of life and love

Somewhere over the rainbow

2005-05-03T12:42:00.001+08:00

Well somewhere over the rainbow...there's hope...where troubles melt away...and we can live the way we want...where we can be free as birds...in the blue skies we'll fly...somewhere over the rainbow when the rain has gone...

Somewhere Over the Rainbow (E. Y. Harburg/Harold Arlen)
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really does come true

One day I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away upon the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

I can see a rainbow...

2005-05-03T12:42:00.000+08:00

well yeah...i love the i can see a rainbow song by delta goodrem for the tourism australia...pretty much it is very very true...we are all going through the same type of stress now...assignments that never seem to end...and when it finally does u, get a new one...u study so hard for a test to find out u missed the most important chapter...well what makes the difference is really how u see things....Red and yellow and pink and green , purple and orange and blue...i can see a rainbow...will you see it too...or would u just prefer to see a mess of colours...well its up to u...there is a big difference between getting stressed and stayin stressed...everyone gets stressed...u decide if u wanna stay stressed...

well everyone is so stressed in the ip now...assignments are really piling up like krazee and tests are comin rite back at ya...but hey...this is life...it is never always bright and sunny...we all wait for an angel to come and make things better...we pray that we wake up to find that all those assignments and tests were all just part of a bad dream...but it never goes our way... well in the words of sarah mclachlan's angel...Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight...its so easy to tell yourself just forget it...but really can u keep running away from problems...we need a break and we'll get it just not yet or at least not until our work has been done...so until then my prayer for all my friends and for myself...is that we keep prayin for the inner peace with ourselves and the strength to face our troubles and trials cheerfully and with hope and perserverance...if any of u guys need someone to talk to...i'll be right here waiting for u... to put a smile upon ur face...bcos i'll feel glad when u're glad...hold on guys...just one month more before the Holz...

"Angel" by Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

The Candle Maker

A CandleMaker crafted three candles
Each unique from the others
As He did with all His creations
Not one was like another

The CandleMaker sent them out
Into the world, to shine
He knew that they could shine with Truth
Now that they'd been refined

So the little candles walked outside
Each going it's own way
As they looked around, bewildered
They heard their Maker say :

"My children, listen to My Voice
I'll guide you through this world
Trust me, keep the flame alive
When Hell's rushing wind's unfurled."

The little candles nodded
And stepped into the darkness
The tiny flames they carried
Bore the light of holiness

Together, they traveled through the night
Touching others with the flame
Setting many hearts ablaze
They lived without fault or blame

'Til one day they came to a valley
Where only darkness thrived
The demons of the dark attecked
Surrounded them on all sides

They made it through the valley
Though each of them had changed
The darkness had touched their lives
And now affected their flames

The first little candle now wore black
The valley had extinguished his flame
For his faith was far too small
He's forsaken his Maker's Name

The next candle's flame still shone
But it flickered more and more
It lowered to impress the world
And shone brightly near the Lord

The last little candle had grown
Her flame had grown far brighter
Her love for her Maker fueled the flame
It glowed brilliantly from inside

The darkness touched all three lives
But weakened only two
So take a look at their flames and ask :
Which one will be you?

--Heather Christine Gilliam--
11-24-96

Darkness is ever present...when u doubt your own ability...when u let urself get overly affected by stress and frustration...when u lose hope just because of a fall...
Good comes from inside...it glows brighter with each trial and tribulation...to be human is to suffer...Let external darknesses not penetrate the goodness of your heart...

AIN'T NO SUNSHINE
(Written by Bill Withers)

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
but ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away

well i am finally back from my holiday in Wisconsin, USA...had a really nice holiday but it is nice to be back in Sunny Singapore...got back at 11.45 on 6th nov n spent yesterday lazing n piggin around the house...
my last post was about my first 7 days there so i will now blog about my last 3 days n my trip back...

8th day was really the best day...as usual lazed in bed until pretty late...then uncle chris arrived...really nice to see tim again(the only one in the gang who is about the same size as me)...then we had lunch n just kinda lazed around...then something grt happened...Auntie Jo asked if i wanted to watch the Bucks game today live at Bradley Centre...i was stunned it seemed so surreal...i was gonna watch an NBA game...Wooah...all the guys were going as well...we lazed the afternoon watchin a College Football game...Wisconsin badgers against Michigan State...we lost pretty badly....**sobs sobs**...went for saturday sunset mass n had a quick Macs quarter pounder dinner b4 rushing off to bradley centre...bought nosebleed tickets at the ticketing booth outside the arena n got a free bucks calendar at the door which really rawked... the arena was huge!!!! we got to our seats n i realised why they were called nose-bleed seats...hahaha...seats in front were empty so we moved n they were a lot better...teams came out to practise n then national anthem n the arrival of players onto the court which was really cool bcos the stadium roared when the home team came on...first quarter was pretty close...second quarter Bucks took a huge lead b4 halftime thanks to a whole lot of grt 3 point shots...third quarter was really bad Hornets overcame the deficit n took a small lead...4th quarter Bucks fought back n the match was really down to the wire...Bucks finally won 94-91...the whole arena went wild...**cheers cheer****GO Bucks GO!!!!!!!!**the match was really a grt experience for me...the cheering was superb n kinda stuck in my head until i woke up the nxt morning...went to sleep after bloggin my last post bcos i felt there was too much to write for that days events...

9th day was again really interesting...slept till about 8.45 until Tim woke me up n then gave the lame excuse that he thought i was awake...yah rite tim....hahaha...**cheeky grinz**...had a grt breakfast...orange rolls, krispy kreme donuts(really heavenly), sausages, garlic bread...then we went to horse-back riding which i was really xcited about...reached this ranch n a really foul smell entered my nose as i got out of the car...felt really sick...then as we walked the smell faded...the smell was only strong at the carpark(i m still wondering why)...got geared up n all n got my horse, CJ...we were going trail-riding(through the woods n pastures)...the trail was going grt n got comfortable n everything until matt's horse had to stop to answer nature's call...n then brian had the grt idea to go in front n suddenly matt horse tried to cut in between of my horse n brian's n my horse n matt horse were gettin rude with each other sort of fightin to be in front n i hada grt fear of being flung off the horse bcos he was struggling n all...got hold off him n let matt pass...after that we did trotting or riding really fast which was really nice except that i kept bouncinup n down non-stop my legs were all numb...rode n trotted a lil' bit more n then it was time to ride back...it was really fun...had lunch n watched the Green Bay Packers vs Minnesotta Vikings NFL game on TV...Packers had like a tremendous lead n the Vikings fought back to tie the game 31-31 until a last second buzzer time field goal helped the packers win 34-31...another game won by a really close shave...**Go PACK GO!!!!**...b4 the game ended the Bucks game was on...they were playin Miami heat with SHAQ in the Heat team...was really close throughout the game n they were tied in regulation time...went into OT 1 n with 11 seconds left they had a 4 pt lead...heat scored n it was down to 2..all they had to do was hold on to the ball...unfortunately Van Horn kinda messed up the ball n heat scored..second tie..OT2 kinda went to the heat...n a failed 3 pt attempt by Van Horn at the buzzer...Bucks lost 112 -110...**sob sob** felt a lil' angry n sad...it was so close...oh well it would be really gd if both home teams could win but i guess luck kinda runs out huh...

10th day...woke up pretty early to get to the airport...said bye n everythin...read harry potter order of the phoenix about half-way on the the ride back so i wasn't as bored as the ride there...slept a bit as well...reached home sweet home at about 1pm...

NJC Induction Day 2

2004-11-05T17:07:00.000+08:00

Well Day 2 of induction finally arrived. I was so excited about finding out which class I would be in next yr that i woke up at 4.30am and could not go back to sleep again. And i reached Njc nearly an hr early after i spent about 20 mins on bus 852. I was pretty glad when i noticed that i was with 3 other sji guys in 05ip05. (Justin, Ray Shio and Ben). Found out that Varun would be one of the seniors in charge of us. I sort of knew him bcos he was from sji so it was pretty cool. The other seniors also taught the i05 cheer which was kinda short n sweet. Class Design was quite fun. I was very happy to be able to have trapezium tables and a nice individual locker. Well there were 8 guys in the class 4sji guys 2 acs 1 dunman n 1 commonwealth. so ration is about 1:2.5. Well games were well really dirrrty but very fun. Sliding on ur stomach on the milo-detergent-etc...coated tables was fun but really disgusting. Of course Dog n Bone was pretty exciting because everytime a large no. of students were called, there would be a mad rush.(mini scrums i would call them). Well i scored once(proud of myself). Then of course some senior was so kind as to douse me with a whole pail of water and my specs flew out. No hard feelings. hahaha. I am pretty glad my class got off to a gd start and that our bonds with seniors are quite gd. Thanks again to all seniors who helped out n made our induction really fun. i will be in USA untill 16 Nov visiting relatives. So until then. the_one_hobbit signing out. 05ip05 oi!!!!!!!
