I didn't go to school today because I'm unwell ... down with something like a cold or perhaps a minor flu. The doctor advised me to go for a flu vaccination because I'm extremely prone to flues. I've caught the bug more than thrice this year ...


I missed the E maths test today. So I have to take it next week which is troublesome. I have nothing much to say. I want my throat to get well soon.


You can't earn your way to Heaven, but you can store up treasure there by doing loving deeds on Earth.

School has already reopened. I havent finished all my homework but it seems that the teachers are having their own difficulties collecting them. Except for my chinese teacher ... I had to finish a lot of mock exam papers yesterday, and I even did them along the way to Kranji War Memorial.


We had a normal time recollecting the past there just like any normal school field trip. I really have nothing much to talk about it. That's very depressing I know but I can't pick out much intriguing information I have learnt about that place. I really need to clear my mind and my computer of their current storage capacities.


I'm happy that I scored 88% on the mock Additional Maths Paper and 94% on the Elementary Maths Paper. It was fun doing it. Oh Gosh ... I can't believe I typed that. Well whatever.


I wanna thank my good friend for buying me a very belated birthday present but I truly appreciate the Mini Japanese Translator and Travelbook. I'm getting a multi language digital one soon from Reader's Digest ... it will surely be of use in our trip to Korea much later this year.


Many fears, like soap bubbles, are all show and very little substance. One prick with the pin of faith and they vanish. I like this statement... it's so unique.

It' the middle of the last week of the holidays and I've not finished my homework! Apparently no one is replying on whether to watch a movie or have a study session tomorrow and that's tragic because now I've to coop myself up at home and race through the sciences and Chinese. Whatever will be, will be. But I still need God's strength.


Anyway, I changed the background music to Rolling Star by Yui ... it was one of Bleach's OP but I like the song because of the energy and feel ... actually I like most of the songs in Bleach's OST. This one just makes me wanna hop, step, jump ... Haha.


I leveled to 23 in audition yesterday thanks to a friend's help ... I failed the license twice but passed on the 3rd try. It was like so demanding. I mean ... 20 perfects in like less than 3 mins on some weird song on some weird background ... But at least I made it ... and that's what matters.


Have to do work already. If you can look beyond your problems, you will see that those dark spots are merely shadows of bigger and better things to come.

I went for a short stay at my cousin's place. We had study sessions everyday and it was somewhat enriching for me and for her. I'm glad that I fulfilled my purpose of going there.. to do some revision and help my cousin. But I wanted some fun ... ended up not using the computer for 3 days ... which was heart wrenching since I used the computer several times a day normally.


We read teen magazines and all that paparazzi news... I wonder how the celebs handle all that stuff written about them. It seemed so ludicrous but engaging at the same time. I could barely contained my laughter. One comic strip showed Troy, in HSM, slipping on the floor and saying "Now I can't bop to the top" ... then Gabriella said " You're such a klutz, I've gotta go my own way." The 2 puns intended there were surprisingly funny. I giggled like an idiot.


We played monopoly and my cousin kept winning by pulling some strings with me... if you know what that means. Then, we sang stupid songs and recorded that on the phone and laughed again and slept very late at night. I was a log in the morning. I hate breaking out of lalaland.


Today I met a woman at the Bedok food centre who had apparently lots of experiences in life. She shared with me some of her thoughts and feelings. I think she is right in saying that we should love ourselves. Life is full of infinite possibilities. I don't feel like discussing this now. When the time is appropriate, maybe I'll reflect. Let's just stay merry for now!


No problem is too big or too small to take to God in prayer!

I also like Peach Girl, Vampire Knight, Myself: Yourself (Great Soundtrack), To Love-Ru and Nagasarete Airantou (Ultra Funny) ...


Success is often defined as that transitory sensation of being admired. But when the applause dies down, the true measure of success is the difference you made for good in human hearts.

Today's service made me realise that I've not been taking action about my purposes in life, at this point of time. One of the church leaders or sisters (can't remember her name) asked me whether I wanted to join the music ministry today... I said I would contemplate about it. The sermon was about our destiny, which made me think about this even more. And later in cell we talked about submitting to God and how we should consult God before making any decision, be it big or small.


If I should join the music ministry, I do not know whether if will be a burden on my side or their side, or both sides. But I shouldn't think negatively, because if I put my heart and soul into learning and nurturing what I have, I think my membership would be beneficial for both sides, me and the ministry. I have somewhat heard a voice telling me to Go for it ... during worship sessions on Saturday, the problem is I'm too scared, shy and fickle to make good, fast decisions. I really need God's help to discern for myself. It's time to crawl out of my nutshell and make a difference. After all, I'll never know how far I'll go unless I try... As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Apparently my friend is also having some difficulties with change, though I'm not sure about the details of the trials. I hope that God will intercede into the matter and ameliorate his plight.

Life is bigger than its problems.

Today was a fun day. I went out with my cousins and a friend to Suntec and Marina Square where we watched Prince Caspian, ate lunch at Swiss Culture and had a small birthday celebration at Secret Recipe Restaurant.


I bought a new MP3 headphone set from Harvey Norman and that makes me happy. What also makes me happy is that I bought Acash after more than 2 months or so. What makes me sad is that the Acash is rendered useless unless I can cash it into my Asiasoft account, but that seems to be a problem as Maplesea is down, playpark forum is down and even Asiasoft network is down.


Nvm... I'm tired and generally bloated from all the salted popcorn, coke, clam chowder, spaghetti, ice lemon tea and cake. I wanna sleep like a pig now. Then tomorrow I have to visit my gastroenterologist again ...


Toodles... It is better to be prepared for the worst and have it not happen, then to have it happen and not be prepared. Staying close to God will help you be prepared for anything!

The June Break has officially begun since today is the 1st of June, I wouldn't call it a holiday or a break though because of the amount of effort we have to put into studying and mugging throughout this month. I have a ton of homework to complete and less than a tenth of that ton's motivation and energy. I really need God's help and encouragement to finish what I've started.


I haven't submitted my NYAA and I dunno why those 2 points are so important. I've decided to ask the teacher-in-charge to let me and some of my teammates go for land training from next week onwards. I hope the plea works because water training is time consuming and considering our inability to do well in the water, it makes it even more logically to go for land training.


I feel so random that I've decided to make a list of all the anime I've watched. I've already written the list down but I shan't post it yet, because of some awkward issues. I just realised that I've watched over 60 different anime series since October 2007. Time to stop watching...


To succeed in life, we can't treat obstacles passively. We must be aggressive and overcome them with faith, prayer and perseverance.
