Church was great as usual on Saturday. We brought little mints to service and the skits they put up were hilarious yet touching. There's a Valentine's Day Event coming up on Friday 15th Feb, it's called PS. I Love You. I wanna invite some friends over to the event and hopefully bring some to salvation. Looking forward to it ...


Went swimming at Clementi Swimming Complex with Sean and his dad. I had to pay 90 cents for the entrance fee and a locker. Nonetheless, we had a fun swim and I practised my diving which was not as good as before. I couldn't even do a tuck turn or whatever you call it. It's something like a turn in the water that swimmers do after they finish a lap and are on the verge of proceeding to the next lap. Ahh ... Forget it. I got treated at Sumo House in Clementi to Japanese Fried Rice then I went home and played computer games and had a fun time during my Chinese tuition where we laughed over the most ridiculous warped meanings that I made up when I was asked to explain confusing Chinese characters.


Had a Japanese lunch today again which mum bought back after her trip to the post office in YewTee. So now I'm hoping to reach level 21 in Audition and to finish all my school homework before tomorrow and I know I can because I can do all things through Christs who strengthens me.


I got disconnected from the net halfway when I was killing the Papulatus clock in maple today. The 3rd time I tried soloing it. It was a success the first time but I failed the last 2 times due to carelessness and a random Internet establishment. Oh well ... I only lost about 100 ramens. RAWR ._.


If you have real love, you have God and the source of everything wonderful, because God is love and He is the Maker of everything wonderful.

The O Level Results for 2007 were released today and SJI did significantly well as compared to last year and other schools. We are now in the top band for this year's results, with an average L1R5 of 10.8. Because of this splendid news, we have a school holiday on Monday...


I received my Chinese O Level results and I'm quite pleased to get an A2. Apparently there were about 15 to 20 A1s, 30 to 35 A2s, 25 B3s, 4 B4s, and 2 C5s for Chinese. I really wanted an A1 ... but I guess I should be satisfied with my result. If only I didn't screw up my essay or attain full marks for the listening comprehension ... Anyway, I am eligible to take higher mother tongue this year. I wanna do well for that too =)


The top guy in our school had 10 As ... Wow. I wonder if I can ever achieve something like that. If I believe it, then I can achieve it. Sounds corny but its partially true.


Success with people begins with love for people.

The past weekend was great.


I went to church with my cousin and we stayed up late playing games at Serene Centre. Service was exhilarating, and fuel was really empowering. I've learnt to do my TAWG daily and keep to my routine as closely as possible.


I went swimming at the pool for the first time in a few years, excluding the previous trip to Wild Wild Wet. Sean and I swam in CDANS Country Club and apparently, we are swimming at Clementi Swimming Complex next Sunday. We decided to go to different pools on alternate weeks. I hope I can grow taller through this sport. Singapore has so many swimming complexes ... there's almost one at every major district. Anyway, I was surprised that we could enter the country club even though we weren't really members. Maybe I should renew my expired membership at CDANS ...


There is this news about a Disney Channel Audition going about in school. I am hesitant whether I should try out. We shall see how it goes.


What looks like the end of the road is more often just a bend in the road. I hate the pop ups in my blog. Does anyone know how to eliminate them?

Yesterday's training was quite outstanding. We managed to save a capsized K1 boat twice even though we were in a K2 boat. We didn't capsize at all and our balance has improved significantly after the rescue.


There is Inter-class rugby and soccer today and I was suppose to go for soccer but I can't make it because it's too late for my church meet later.


There's really nothing much to post lately. When we know God loves us, we know that everything is gonna be alright.

The Birthday Party last Saturday was a great success and the games were carried out fairly well. I don't know whether I'll still be organising it with my cousin next year. It was fun and entertaining throughout.


My stomach feels somewhat full and distended now. I wonder when I will ever feel sleek again. My weight is hovering between the healthy range and the underweight range as my BMI is 18.1.
I wanna feel healthy soon. Wait, I am already healthy. But sometimes I get tired easily. I'm weird today that's all.


I did some comprehensive history notes this afternoon but I can't remember all that I've written down. I've done a really poor revision of Stalin's Economic Policies today. I shall wrap it up beautifully tomorrow, hopefully.


Life is an awesome gift. Treasure, enjoy and make the most of it by taking time for the things that really count.

Tomorrow is my youngest cousin's birthday party. I'm not too excited yet not too indifferent about it. We are probably celebrating it in the way we did last year. We're gonna have some amazing race thing planned by me and my 2 cousins. There's probably gonna be a lot of children and adults attending.


We're intending to include various types of games. We came up with some code breakers, scavenger hunts, bingo, poison ball, memory game, sensory games and others. I hope I can remember all of them. I'm a really bad organiser for such events.


I wanna commit tomorrow's programme to God. Glory be to him.


Look...
...Behind you at what you
have already accomplished.
...Up and believe that the sky
will clear.
...Down to make sure you're on
the right path.
...Ahead and claim victory
over every obstacle!


As I've always thought ... every trial is a triumph in disguise. For every difficulty overcome, is an accomplishment for us. For every trial solved, emerges a triumph over the trial.

I'm in for a lot of stress in school and at home. Perhaps the schedule I make is too demanding or I'm just too lazy. I feel tired and unenergetic.


Yesterday was my first training in like a month and it was really unappealing. I caught a flu in the rain and had to take a cab home. They charge freakishly expensive fares nowadays. The fare meter is divided into 2 categories and since it was the peak period, there was an extra surcharge. An additional 5 cents is added to the surcharge for every 20 cents added to the main meter. I ended up paying 13 dollars plus instead of 9 dollars ... I hope I never have to take a cab again as long as the GST and prices keep increasing.


I added falling objects to my blog. I tried snowflakes and clovers but they look really corny. I guess mini fireworks would do fine though the layout looks quite effeminate now. I have to train my memory ... essays to memorise for Chinese and history and SS and geog.


Younger Cousin's birthday is on this Saturday. I have to plan a party for her along with my other cousins. Or rather, I feel compelled to after my aunt has treated me to a free stay at the Chalet for 3 days. This could be quite entertaining. I've done it last year, only it felt better doing that then.


I made up a really lame poem in school with my friend. It goes like this:

People like you,
Who smell just like poo,
belong in the zoo,
and not in this school.
So don't go boohoo,
and act like a fool,
just go to the loo,
and excrete your poo.


Okay, it is really lame and insulting. Please don't take it for real. We were so bored that we started cracking insane jokes. I need more melodrama in my life... and God's love too =)


Let love be your motivation - the driving force behind everything you do.

New Year Resolutions for 2008:

6) To play less computer games
7) To improve my memory tactics
8) To improve my chinese
9) To finish 2 complete songs

I just got a new chinese tutor today. He was, by far as I can remember, the second male chinese tutor that I've gotten since my birth. I've had over 10 different chinese tutors at different points of my young life. He requires me to memorise essays and phrases and chinese characters weekly to improve my chinese. I do not know whether I should regret mum hiring him to teach me, it might be a blessing in disguise. This year requires me to work extra hard. I need to do so for my future and I know I will.


But first, I need God, health and spirit.


As sure as the sun rises, God's love will always be there for you and me.

Well ... The New Year has started a few days ago and I'm adjusting to my new term in school. Everything seems familiar as it had been the past three years. I'm amazed at how my life keeps ticking on ... I can't even remember the time when I was 4 years old. But My most distant memory is me entering my new house when I was around 3 years old. I can remember that dramatic moment of being carried by my father .. though its really fuzzy now. The house has changed a lot since then.


Homework is starting to pour in again. The unrelenting circle of life continues ... makes us wonder what we should do with our lives all over again. I need to take care of my health first.


Success doesn't run around begging to be discovered. Like buried treasure, only the most believing and persevering find it.

This will be my last post of the year.


I just went for a haircut yesterday after incessant nagging and the barber gave me the most horrible haircut. I don't wanna talk about it but who cares about hairstyle anyway... I'm still schooling and Singaporean Schools, especially mine, are so fussy about the way a student carries himself. I know I'm definitely keeping longer hair in future. I look like a bald eagle now. No really, a BALD eagle.


Let's not talk about hair.


I have watchnight service later and now I'm gonna rush to prepare myself.


I won an Audition Master and a Main just now. They were at PC Bunk and somehow were allowed to use certain banned songs. I don't know how they did it. But I'm glad I won them miraculously by completing 2 11key Dance Battle 8 Finishing Moves. The song was 135bpm, called Diva - Feel It.


I shall upload the SS now. My Audition Avatar is RainDance.


I'm 86% in Maple and I am not in the mood to train or level. I have to concentrate on this new year because it determines my future. The coming year is an opportunity for us to see what wonders God can do in our lives. Present each day to Him, and let him guide us and fill us with his love. I stand at the threshold of a new year. God bless everyone.
