27 (Sat)
Hmmm! My memory is really getting from worse to worst. Only 2 days ago and I can't really remember what i did. All I could remember was in the afternoon, instead of youth fellowship, we had wheel-chair ministry. Suppose to go and help to bring the patients to the sat service. I was not tasked with any patient so i went to help out in the logistics. Well! I guess everything went pretty well! Then after service, we had a gathering at the volunteers' lounge to celebrate the Aug's babies. Hehe! I was one of them. Den also got Eunyse and Soo Fern. So i was like sitting in the middle and there were one chair on each side of me. So I was 'expecting' the girls to sit on each side of me but both of them too shy. So end up i have 2 bodyguards standing behind me while the rest sang birthday song. So after tat, there were some discussion, not involving me. So I went with Joanne and Si En to look for the secret garden in the hospital compound. After staying a while in the garden, went back to look for Daniel. Then took a lift from William to TM to have our dinner. Went to Ajisen. After dinner, walk a bit here and there and den went to Toy'r'us. Really enjoy walking in the midst of the toys. After that went home. And yah! I just remember I had a bible class to teach the next day. I had all the materials but i have not finalise my teaching materials. Wanted to do it immediately but was too tired. So decide to wake up later to do it.
Later, 28 (Sun), 3am:...................
Yawn! Yes! Woke up, in fact, had to kinda of force myself to wake up. So started preparing the notes. Was on the PC staring at the notes, with my Study Bible on one side and other notes on the other side. Finally at 7.30am, my notes were finalised. Praise the Lord. Scared that I have to take last min MC. Haha! Well! Took a quick bath and went to church. Still have to print out the notes. By the time i was done, was a bit late for service. Miss a portion of the worship. Attended the Chinese Svc. The preacher was talking about Revival and Prayer. This pastor is really one with a lot of meat. I meant his sermon. He speaks with great theological soundness and all his stuff are all solid food. However, becoz my chinese is pte ltd, so had quite difficult catching up. Haha! Must really brush up my mandarin. Then after svc, started to prepare for the Bible lesson. Started at 11:30am and ended a bit late at 1255pm. Honestly it was not an easy task. Mark was the book for the bible lesson. I had 4 chapters to teach within a time span of 1hr 15min. I wanted to have a more activity-learning class but it was just too hard. There's really too much things in the 4 chpts that i had to teach and activities based will be too consuming. And even if it's just pure teaching, i still have to leave out some of the stories. So not much of choice, i just did my best to keep the class from being too boring with only my voice. Haha! Quite pleased with myself . Will say i did quite well. But i would prefer to have a smaller group. More personal teaching, that's my style. After lesson, went over to the Mission teaching group. Ended shortly after i came. Den went to Qi Ji to eat lunch at abt 2plus. Really unhealthy. Haha! Then went home and sleep. Woke up eat dinner, den i think i went back to sleep again. Well! That's my weekend.

25 Aug (Thursday)
Well! Today is thursday and i have no school. Was trying to get something done up for this Sunday's Bible Class. Well! I'm teaching and hmmm, just hope that I am not too long-winded which I tend to be.
Then in the afternoon, tot of going to exercise. Kinda stop working out for a while. Very scared of gaining back the weight that I had worked so hard to get rid of. So decided to go at about 1.30pm when the sun is pretty hot. My theory. If the sun is hot enough, the fats in me will melt and seep out of my skin. Haha! Crap! So went to the court and there were a few others playing too. So played match with them. Honestly, I nearly died half way. Too long nvr played so hard. But thankfully I perservere. Played for about 2 1/2 hours. Real tired. Den went home took a bath and decide to drop by my most loved and hated fren. The weighing machine. I simply loved it today. I lost 2.5kg on the court. YAHOOOO! haha! But after dinner, i gain back 1kg. ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! But i'm sure after the food is digest and past out of the body, i will revert to my lighter weight. And I'm in good progress with my new year resolution. 2kg per month. Yayyyy! Tomorrow maybe go jogging or cycling. But most likely, i will oversleep and end up missing it. Haiz. Just wish i have someone to run with or run after. Haha! Subtle implication. Anyway, 2 more kg next month. That's my focus. Go! Go! Go!

21 Aug (Sunday)
4.45pm Reach Meridian JC
Change into my soccer gear and did some kicking. When nearly everybody arrived, did some warming up. And I really didn't feel too well. Haha! Had late lunch at about 2plus. The food kinda still in the stomach. Then when did some running warming up, I keep wanting to puke and couldn't run any faster, fearing that I transform into a running Merlion. Haha! After the run, we did some drills. Did some judgement on how to pass a chest level ball. Den we did some far range cross from ground ball. Really not easy to hit high ball. Really require tactics. Some more i'm a keeper who can't take goal kick. So after the drills, took a 5, and came back for a match. I actually wanted to do some running but then my stomach dun feel too well. So i resume my keeper position. Match started pretty exciting. And the opponents were suppose to take off their top for easy recongnition. First half, the threat was mainly from our side. Scored 3 goals. Opponents retaliate with some attacks. Charlie with a volley from nowhere. But thanks to my quick reflex manage to put a hand to the ball but the ball kinda spinned backwards to goal and that's when i came again to punch the ball to safety. Then followed by a few more attempts from the forwards. 2nd half was a different story. I saw more naked men on my half attacking. Daniel pulled one back. Then later, i make a bad throw. Got the ball and attempt to throw it to my memeber on the far right. But my throw was poorly thrown and the ball hit DANIEL and drop to the opponents. And while throwing the ball, I pulled my calf muscle. And they put in their 2nd goal effortlessly. Haiz! Disappointment! Then the match ended. Quite tired but my leg hurt badly. I think the pull in my right leg was pretty bad. Afer change up, went with the rest to White Sand to eat dinner. Didn't really have much appettite actually. Ordered Yong Tau Foo and the noodle was overcooked. Blaaaddd! After that went McD to eat ice cream and then left for home. I took a bus and alighted and had to walk abt 400m to reach home. It was a long 400m. My right leg by now was real bad. I couldn't bend my ankle and my knee and the pull was intensified with every movement of the leg. I was limping and it was real tiring. I tried another way of walking. When I need to move my right leg, I make it move in a semi-circle outwards. It was easier but it was awkward. Somehow I was reminded of people who are crippled. Their life must be real tough and their self-esteem must be affected badly. Then when i was nearly reaching home, the Lord spoke to me. If He could heal cripples, will He not be able to heal just a minor leg injury. At the moment, I tot for a while and told myself I must have more faith. And truly and instantly, i could start to walk properly without limping. Though i still could feel the pull but then it was a relief that I could walk properly again. The Lord is good!

20 AUGUST (SAT)
24 YEARS! MY! MY! Time really flies. 24 years just went by! I completed 2 cycle of my chinese horoscope. I still remembered when i was young, i was still worrying about PSLE, 'O' Level, 'A' Level, army and now it's like all these are history. Honestly, it's kinda scary. I somehow feel that I have not lived enough of my youthfulness and i'm in adulthood. Sometimes, I do feel like a young boy trapped in an adult body. So i guess that's why at times i act so kiddish! And as a kid, there's no responsibilty, there's freedom. I just really feel like running away from responsibility and be contended with whatever i have! I have frens who are 1 or 2 years older than me and they have alreadi started working for a few years. And some of them are married and alreadi have their first kid. My! My! What am i doing now? I'm still studying, unattached, penniless, liability to the family, hmmm, i guess the list can go on forever if i want to. Honestly, i'm taking every step by faith. Literally, living practically on God's grace. My next 5-6 year plan: graduate and start work by 25, get married by 28, have my first baby b4 30. Hmmm! I must be crazy. Haiz! Somehow i dun really look forward to celebrate birthday. In the past, as a kid, always looking forward to the cake, presents and the atmosphere and attention but den somehow things turn around when it hit into adulthood. Had quite a fun 21 birthday but honestly, i wasn't really that excited. Now 3 years had passed from that year, it didn't get better. I would actually prefer to just spend time on my birthday with frens, dun have to be something grand, just sit down over a meal and i'm really very contended.
Then again, having spilling out all my troubles, I have to give thanks to God! I may be very confused, struggling with issues in my life, I know God is there with me. And He had also blessed me with a lot of people who shower me with love. I thank God for Charles and even Emily. Charles had been a very wonderful and wise brother and mentor and with Emily now with him, I see a more complete person in Charles. And their relationship is something that really encourage me. I'm also thankful for William and Lydia. This couple are a testimony of God's love. They are also wise and tactful and being a mentee, i have benefitted so much from them. I thank God also for Daniel whom though is a total different character from me but yet he is always the one making the effort to fellowship. And there is also David and Veron, another couple who reflect the true man and woman of God. They are also my mentor who has been very loving and caring. There are also many other people in church i want to thank! The church staff, those partners 'in-crime' of the different ministries, and many many more! And also the bunch of youths that I have been hanging out. Though of a substantial age difference, i could blend in pretty well with them. This group of youths are like my peers even though I'm much MATURE and OLDER and WISER than them. I really appreciate them a lot! And i do treasure them really like my own brothers and sisters because I have asked God to give me a bunch of 'brats' for me to take care of. I still remember I was around 19 or 20 when during an altar call, I told the priest to pray for me that God will reveal His plan for me and that if it's His will to bring people into my care! And I thank God for His providence because I really benefitted from this relationship with all these youths. They in a way are my mental, pschological support. I just pray hard that God will raise these kids to become men and women of God!

19 Aug (Friday)
Woke up pretty late! Wanted to wake up earlier to catch my korean drama serial repeat which i missed the night before. But by the time i woke up, it was like 10.45am. How accurate can i be! Waking up at the end of the show. Haha! Well! TOO BAD FOR A SLEEPY PIG! So woke up then read the newspaper! Den went to play my guitar. Tried to get some inspiration for the lyrics of my 2 unfinished tunes. Well! Nothing came out! Then tried practising for my Sat's worship songs. After that, was time to go school. So left home abt 12.30pm. Then when reached school, i got a surprise. The direction board that shows which level my class is on, revealed that i have no class today. Hmmm! I didn't check my timetable at home becoz i lost it. ANd when i got a new copy from the counter, true enough, today there's no class. Haha! Pretty happy! An unexpected treat! So i was wondering should i go catch a movie. Then i remembered Eleanor said she needed help in church to do up the ticketing for the church's baazzar sale. But i was tempted to watch a movie instead. Haha! But then being a very helpful nature, I thought why not give a call to Eleanor and check with her. If she doesn't neeed help, den i will go watch movie without feeling guilty. Called her and she did need help. So took a MRT back to Simei and went over to church!
My My! Relly a big project. There were like 6 of us doing the ticketing. 1 to stamp the serial number. 4 to cut up the individual tickets. 1 to consolidate the tickets into individual booklet. 1 to staple the booklet and counter check on the accuracy of the sequence. Woah! And we only managed to do half of the total expected output by 6pm. I was doing the cutting and honestly, it's quite monotonous but somehow i quite like it. Guess i'm just a simple person. HAHA!
So after tat went home and suppose to go out for dinner with family to celebrate my 24th birthday. So decided to eat at Century Square's Jack's Place. Me and my parents went first becoz my sis was coming from work and she was delayed becoz of some last minute stuff. Me ordered a Catfish with Steak Combo. Not too bad! So after meal, went around with my sis shopping. So there was this cosmetic shop at Century Square called Missha. Quite cheap product and also quite fun to play around with the tester. Hmmm! Then went to comic shop to get my sis's comics. Wanted to go to Tampines Mall's Yamaha to get my guitar strings but by the time we reached there, it was closed. Well guess have to buy it another day.
After all the walking, took a bus back home, sing birthday song, cut cake and well, i guess this is abt the day's worth of events. And my birthday is tomorrow! Hehe!

17 Aug (Wednesday)
Well! It's mid-week! Trying to stay focus. Getting a bit distracted. Hmmm! Slap! Slap! Ok that will keep the blood flowing into my brain. Haha! Anyway, today was kinda busy for me or rather my stomach. Had a big feasting. ARGHHHHH! There goes my diet! Haha! In the afternoon, went to CCSS to meet up with my befriending group. Jeremy was not in school again. Haiz! Must start to call him up! Den Vince left early becoz he say got something on. So only managed to meet up Teng Seng and Jannah. So brought them to Hans River to celebrate my birthday (actual date is 20 aug, sat) I'm impressed that these 2 Sec 3 kids can eat. I think they nearly devour up a whole cow. Haha! I tried not to eat to much becoz firstly on diet and secondly, i still have dinner at home and after tat i'm meeting some other people for dinner again. WAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Crazy man! But honestly, didn't find the spread too good. Variety not much and the hygeniene of the food, hmmm, i really wonder how clean! Haha! But den guess wat! I'm still alive so i guess it's not tat bad after all. So after the feast with them, we went home. I actually should have told my dad i'm not eatin at home but dun know why lah! I'm scared he will get upset that i'm eating less frequent at home. Hmmm! I'M NEARLY 24 AND I STILL HAVE TO REPORT HOME FOR DINNER! Haha! (I'm saying this as a joke and not in any form of rebelliousness.) I ate very little. Couldn't eat much and some more later got round 3. And i notice that as i grow older, my capability of taking in food is getting smaller. Last time go buffett, always scared that i'll cause the restaurant go into dissolution. But now eat like a bit den cannot eat anymore. So after home-dinner, left house to meet Daniel, Charles, Emily, Ariz and Gary outside TM McDonald. Reached there saw Charles, Emily and Ariz.Then Emily was talking abt making Cheese Cake without using chesse. SO tat is equal to a CAKE. Like Fishball noodle without fishball is called Noodle. Haha! Actualli wat she meant was that she could make something similiar to the textture of cheese cake using other ingredients than cheese. I'm going to learn from her and Ariz also very keen. And we were teasing, saying that now-a-days girls will prefer to eat then cook. Haiz! Men out there, the first survival lesson is learn how to cook. Dan and Gary coming later so we all went to Denki Sushi first. Got a seat but i was too full to order any main dish. So only eat side dishes. Dan and Gary came shortly afterwards. Must thk Charles for the sumptuous meal. Then after tat went to Starbucks for coffee. Carried on chatting. Can't really remember wat we talk but was quite enjoyable as there were laughters. So after the drink, time to go home. My my! My poor pitiful stomach! Have to brave all those harsh food.

I composed music???
Haha! I'm quite amazed that i'm gettin myself involved in composing song(s). I did try to compose songs many years back but i think it was a flop. I think I had composed 2 songs during that time! Was real amateur but then i guess it was a step of faith and a learning process. Now here i am putting my hands and mind to writing songs. I actualli just completed one song. It's in English and is a slow song. It still sound amateur but I tot it was a good effort. Shortly I finished up this song, a tune came into my mind and i quickly jotted it down. The tempo is a faster one and I tot of putting Mandarin lyrics to it. But really it's hard. Though there's the melody but it's hard to fit words into the melody and worst, i'm not really tat proficient in Mandarin. And furthermore, I believe in theological soundness of the lyrics and not just any lyrics that is just sensational or make no sense. This makes the job harder. But I'm not giving up! It's a real fun task to be able to express your feelings in your songs. And I hope I can offer these songs to God and may it be pleasing to Him. And while still trying to figure out the lyrcis for the present melody, another melody has sipped into my mind. Now i have 2 songs to write. Hmmm! Presently, I will not reveal the songs as yet until i present them to the worship team to vet thru. Den when approved, will get it copyright before flashing it on the blog. Haha!
12 - 14 Aug (2005)
12 Aug (Fri)
In the evening, visited FCBC. This American-based Taiwan Worship team was in town. The band is called Stream of Praise. Suppose to meet up with Soo Ping, Claudia and the rest at 7pm outside the entrance. But I haven't been taking bus for such a long time that i forget that evening time is peak hour. Left home at 5.45 but then there was a real long jam from tampines to Bedok. By the time Bus 31 hit Bedok, it was like 6.30 pm. I know i'm goin to be late. Yes and true enough i'm late. Reach there abt 7.10pm. Soo Ping had went in alreadi. Couldn't get him on the phone. Then happened that Xu En was also late. So both of us went in and found Soo Ping. The whole place was alreadi jam packed. Me and Xu En had to sit on the steps. But it was refreshing to hear the band play. And quite excited becoz this is the first time i have seen them face to face. They are kinda like the chinese "Hillsongs". It was pretty grand. There were like 8 singers, 2 keyboardists, 1 guitarist, 1 bassists, 1 drummer and 1 percussionist and also 1 more flutist. I love the flutist the most. It's like when you add a flute into chinese song, it really brings out the flavour. Maybe i shd go pick up a flute or a wind instrument. Dun suggest a recorder to me. After that, got a ride from Xu En's sis to Simei and met up with Daniel to go for dinner. Was like nearly 11pm. A bit late for dinner but i'm real hungry. Haven't eaten. Went to BLK 201 and decide to try at the Malay coffee shop which we had nvr tried. I ordered Nasi Goreng Ikan Bilis while Daniel ordered Mee Soto. Wilfred ordered lamb chop. The nasi was a bit wet but the Mee Soto was splendid. And from the way Wilfred was trying to eat his chop, i was quite certain the lamb was trained in karate.Then had this lime juice. Not too bad. After tat, walked home! Real tired! and very full too. Can't wait for the food to digest. Sleep first! The food can rot in the stomach for all i care. Muahahhaha!
13 Aug (sat)
Woke up pretty late. Abt 11 plus. Kinda woken up by Gary's morning call. Haha! But i can't sleep any longer becoz need to do some stuff. Only went to church at abt 2pm. Usually I'm in church at 12pm on a Saturday. Then there was youth fellowship at 3.30pm. Honestly, i couldn't sit down and enjoy the fellowship. During the time when William was sharing, I had to excuse myself to prepare for my worship practise later in the evening. Haiz! Kinda worried. After the fellowship, started to put up the worship equipment. I actually expected to start at 5.30 and end within an hour. I had a family dinner at 6pm. But den in the end, ended at 7.45. Haiz! Have to excuse myself from the dinner. Then went with Gary to Daniel's house to watch Man U match against Everton. We were at this coffee house waiting for our take-away dinner. There was a TV showing the telecast of the match. Score was nil-nil. Then we left for Dan's house, Van Nisterooy scored. What a waste! haha! Well! Eventually Man U won by 2 goals to nil! After the match, went home.
14 Aug (Sun)
The big day has arrived. Me leading worship! Thkfully everything went pretty smoothly except for certain parts, i'm sure i have either sung out of tune or sung badly. Haha! But wat's new! So after svc, met up with William, Lydia, Charles, Emily, Daniel and Lionel for lunch. By the time lunch was over, it was abt 3pm. Need to go home and change for soccer later. Have invited Xu En to come along. Glad that he could make it. Suppose to meet Daniel on the way but he was not ready. So I went on my own. The drill was like tortourous. I felt like i had played a match after the drill. Haha! Then we had a short match. Was quite happy with my performance. Did some saves and was happy to i had a few chances to rush out and cut out some of the dangers. Most importantly must thk Charles for being the last man. He was really there to help when the danger was there. Match ended 0-0. Daniel was on the opposite side. He did score but was offside. Haha! Nice try! After tat went to Blk 201 to eat Mee SOto. Daniel ordered for me and my one was with extra chilli. SO hot! I drank 2 lime juice, 1 iced tea and 1 A&W. Actualli i drank so much not becoz of the chilli but rather, i become very dehydrated after exercising. And it's like i drank 2 cans of 100 plus after the match. so in total 6 drinks in less than 1 hour. Hmmm! Maybe i shd be called Hydroboy! haha!
In the evening, visited FCBC. This American-based Taiwan Worship team was in town. The band is called Stream of Praise. Suppose to meet up with Soo Ping, Claudia and the rest at 7pm outside the entrance. But I haven't been taking bus for such a long time that i forget that evening time is peak hour. Left home at 5.45 but then there was a real long jam from tampines to Bedok. By the time Bus 31 hit Bedok, it was like 6.30 pm. I know i'm goin to be late. Yes and true enough i'm late. Reach there abt 7.10pm. Soo Ping had went in alreadi. Couldn't get him on the phone. Then happened that Xu En was also late. So both of us went in and found Soo Ping. The whole place was alreadi jam packed. Me and Xu En had to sit on the steps. But it was refreshing to hear the band play. And quite excited becoz this is the first time i have seen them face to face. They are kinda like the chinese "Hillsongs". It was pretty grand. There were like 8 singers, 2 keyboardists, 1 guitarist, 1 bassists, 1 drummer and 1 percussionist and also 1 more flutist. I love the flutist the most. It's like when you add a flute into chinese song, it really brings out the flavour. Maybe i shd go pick up a flute or a wind instrument. Dun suggest a recorder to me. After that, got a ride from Xu En's sis to Simei and met up with Daniel to go for dinner. Was like nearly 11pm. A bit late for dinner but i'm real hungry. Haven't eaten. Went to BLK 201 and decide to try at the Malay coffee shop which we had nvr tried. I ordered Nasi Goreng Ikan Bilis while Daniel ordered Mee Soto. Wilfred ordered lamb chop. The nasi was a bit wet but the Mee Soto was splendid. And from the way Wilfred was trying to eat his chop, i was quite certain the lamb was trained in karate.Then had this lime juice. Not too bad. After tat, walked home! Real tired! and very full too. Can't wait for the food to digest. Sleep first! The food can rot in the stomach for all i care. Muahahhaha!
13 Aug (sat)
Woke up pretty late. Abt 11 plus. Kinda woken up by Gary's morning call. Haha! But i can't sleep any longer becoz need to do some stuff. Only went to church at abt 2pm. Usually I'm in church at 12pm on a Saturday. Then there was youth fellowship at 3.30pm. Honestly, i couldn't sit down and enjoy the fellowship. During the time when William was sharing, I had to excuse myself to prepare for my worship practise later in the evening. Haiz! Kinda worried. After the fellowship, started to put up the worship equipment. I actually expected to start at 5.30 and end within an hour. I had a family dinner at 6pm. But den in the end, ended at 7.45. Haiz! Have to excuse myself from the dinner. Then went with Gary to Daniel's house to watch Man U match against Everton. We were at this coffee house waiting for our take-away dinner. There was a TV showing the telecast of the match. Score was nil-nil. Then we left for Dan's house, Van Nisterooy scored. What a waste! haha! Well! Eventually Man U won by 2 goals to nil! After the match, went home.
14 Aug (Sun)
The big day has arrived. Me leading worship! Thkfully everything went pretty smoothly except for certain parts, i'm sure i have either sung out of tune or sung badly. Haha! But wat's new! So after svc, met up with William, Lydia, Charles, Emily, Daniel and Lionel for lunch. By the time lunch was over, it was abt 3pm. Need to go home and change for soccer later. Have invited Xu En to come along. Glad that he could make it. Suppose to meet Daniel on the way but he was not ready. So I went on my own. The drill was like tortourous. I felt like i had played a match after the drill. Haha! Then we had a short match. Was quite happy with my performance. Did some saves and was happy to i had a few chances to rush out and cut out some of the dangers. Most importantly must thk Charles for being the last man. He was really there to help when the danger was there. Match ended 0-0. Daniel was on the opposite side. He did score but was offside. Haha! Nice try! After tat went to Blk 201 to eat Mee SOto. Daniel ordered for me and my one was with extra chilli. SO hot! I drank 2 lime juice, 1 iced tea and 1 A&W. Actualli i drank so much not becoz of the chilli but rather, i become very dehydrated after exercising.

Tired!
Dun know why? But suddenly just feel very physically drained! May have been doing too much thngs for a period of time. Dun feel it initially but as it accumulates, now feeling the weariness. Need to take a break soon.
But been very happy. Fulfilling one of my new year resolution. Lose weight. Muahahaha. Lost 3kg in 5 weeks! Not too bad actualli! Had been doing work out! Doing skipping at least 1200 times a day, sets of weight lifting. In fact, I had kina stopped for 2 weeks becoz a bit busy and also lazy but surprisingly, I did not gain any weight. haha! Now i'm trying to go for runs but i'm just too lazy to bring my body to the park. And running is so boring. Yah yah! Full of excuse. Maybe i'll go for cycling instead. My target: lose 2 kg a month. So far so good. Muahaha! And crunches are very effective! I have been doing it the last 3 weeks and i could see my upper abs appearing. But den it's still being covered by a spare tyre. I guess i can't run away from running. Haha!

10 July 2005
TOday is a sch holiday! But it doesn't matter to me! It doesn't really matter becoz i dun have sch on wednesday to start with. haha! But honestly, really nothing to do. And i was kina tired. So took a long afternoon nap. And funny lah! This few days have been having very funny and wierd dreams which i can't remember but vividly know tat it's not normal. Haha! Time to really slow down my pace. Doing too much things, too many things in my head. Ai Yoh!!
In the evening, met up with Daniel to go crabbing. Fantastic record! 3 nets, 2 1/2 hours, 8 crabs! I caught 5 out of which 1 drop out of the net when i was retrieving the net. Daniel caught the biggest and yet it's the dirtiest. Full of rubbish on it's shell. At the end, throw all the crab back into the water. Most of them still toddler size. Definitely the season of crabs is nearing. Will come back soon when the crabs are bigger!

One People, One Nation, One Singapore
Praise the Lord! 40 years of prosperity, harmony, peace and growth in Singapore. And even though Singapore is still considered a young nation, I'm sure that Lord has many greater plans for Singapore. Then let's brothers and sisters in Christ come together as one to pray for our nation.
Well! Today woke up and really didn't know wat to do. Didn't feel like watching the holiday shows on the TV. Usually it's those outdated, since 1980's movies or some animations which are like 1 episode out of the billion series. Ai yoh! Watch alreadi also 'xian'. Haha! Went online and den Magdalene say she want to watch firework but dun think her sis will bring her. And the funny thing is she didn't even ask her sis yet. So told her to ask her but den Yvon going watch movie so couldn't bring her along. Wat a pity! But anyway, I'll arrange one more firework watching year end, during New Year. And Yes! Tonight we'll be going down to watch the firework from the Singapore River. The firework will be fired from a water platform in the Singapore River.
Then while online, i was touching up on my song composition. Haha! Yes! Finally finished it off. I had tried composing songs a few years ago. I think i came up with 2 songs but really amateur. I think i chunk it off some where alreadi. So this time round, really put in alot of effort in the tune and the lyrics. Well! I won't say it's going to be fantastic like Hillsongs but i'm still very proud. Hopefully can present it to David Lee and the worship team and let them give their comment! Then after that, I had a tune ringing in my mind and i jotted it down. Haha! Another song coming. This one i'm trying to do a Mandarin one instead. This will be a greater challenge but i'm all geared up for it.
Time flew real fast and it was time to meet up with the rest to go and see firework. Suppose to meet at Tampines MRT at 5.45pm. So I left my house at 5.20pm to take a bus. It was like so long. I waited for 25 min, usually at most 10min. Then i knew i was late. And while the bus is travelling the Tampines Central, the whole place was jam packed with people. This year, Singapore has added 3 other neighbouring town to celebrate the nation's birthday. Every where was filled with red shirts. And the road was moving real slow. By the time i met them, it was like 6.05pm. So pai seh! Haha! Then we took a train down to Raffles Place and we walked towards our destination. The place is like at one end of the Singapore River which is beside the Marina Bay's open field. There were some people alreadi camping at that place. Definitely it's the best place to watch firework! So we waited while we eat and talk rubbish. Finally the firework began. It was beautiful and lovely. You could feel the trembles and the sights were just filling the eyes. But it was not as good as when the first time i saw the fireworks at an even closer distance a couple of years ago. The ground shook and as i was closer to the firework, the fireworks seemed to have filled up the whole sky span and as it falls, it seems like it was going to fall on me. That's was the best. Hopefully New Year, they will fire on ground and not on water. Can't get any closer unless we swim. Haha!
After that we went to Sempang Bedok to eat. I ordered mutton soup and plaster and one chicken muartabak to share. My soup came and was splendid but the plaster didn't come. But the soup was actualli very filling. Thkfully the plaster didn't come. Den somemore still has the muartabak. Woah! After the sumptuous meal, took bus 9 den alighted at Eastpoint and walked home. Took a bath, watch my korean serial and den had a chat with my sis and time was 2am. Cannot tahan. Must sleep!zzzzZZZZ

Hand Bags? NO! Plastic Bags? NO! It's just my BAGS!
Hmmm! Earlier on i mentioned i got a new bag and that I have a craving for collecting bag. So i decided to show off most of my bags that i'm presently using. Haha!
Ok! THis is the latest bag that i bought. It's a sling bag. Really like it becoz the material is very cushioned and it's big enough to hold most of my things. And the best, it only cost me
18 BUCKS !
And this is the 2nd latest bag. I bought this bag at a Par Sa Ma Lam (night market) in either April or May I was staring at it for 3 days. I was deciding whether to buy or not. So you could see that i actualli dun anyhow buy bag. I do look, compare and take in factors before deciding to buy or not. Haha! Sound like auntie. Guess how much?
20 BUCKS!
Ok! This bag was bought during last year. Maybe in Aug or Sep. It's a High Sierra bag with water carrier. It was something that i always wanted to get but has always been very expensive. Those good one with brand can cost up to 60- 100 bucks. My goodness! Too expensive. So when i saw it, i just couldn't resist it. And I was going to Cambodia during that year end. So it will come in handy. And the price is.....................................
30 Plus
(can't exactly remember how much)
Ok! This is also one of my fav bag. Dun know why but just love it. The colour and the material, i guess. Bought this last year around May at another Par Sa Ma Lam. And bought it with me during my exams. Den i also brought with me for the Church Camp. But sadly, this bag's quality not very good. The water-proof material was not properly sew onto the bag and it was reaped out. Haiz! Still can use lah but if rain, that's it, water will soak thru. Well! Nvr the less, I still love this bag and i kinda retired it at home. It just stay at one corner, holding some of my stuff. This bag cost me
26 BUCKS
These are pouches that i bought once again at Pa Sar Ma Lam. As you can see, i get alot of my bags from Nite Mkt. Becoz i suppose it's cheap. I bought both of it together. Very convenient. Sling on and you are ready to go. Both of them cost
10 BUCKS
each
Ok! From this bag on, it's not in any chronological order. Can't really remember when exactly i bough it. Well! This bag is a gift from my sis. She went to Thailand for a biz trip den she bought it. It's not a fake. She bought it directly from a genuine Adida factory outlet. Not sure how much it costs but remember it's relatively cheap.
It's supposed to be a yellow, sling bag. LOve it! Relatively small and nice to carry around. But the opening a bit small. Couldn't fit thru anything bigger than an A4 size. Have to like squeeze it it. So not very good for bringing to school. But I still love it. Let me see, it cost me less than
20 BUCKS
This is yet another yellow bag. Interest bag! Can sling or be carried in the conventional way. It's a birthday present fr my sis. As you see, my sis loves to give bags. I told you, it's in the blood! WE just love bag. Maybe i shd adopt Bag as my middle name. Well i'm not sure how much it cost!
This is a bag which i had obtained in my army camp. Very spacious but yet small and compactable. Love this alot. And the price is
FREE
Look! This is my working bag or rather briefcase. Love this. It's like a briefcase but the plastic makes it look contemporary. Guess where i got it from! Popular Bookstore. haha! I'm quite surprised i could find a decent bag from Popular. It's like the compartments inside the bag are just perfect for wat i want. And the price is, i think about
16 BUCKS
Well! This is a yellow and dirty pouch. Have been with me for very long. Maybe about 6-8 years. Bought at Bossini. Well! YOu may be wondering that i got so many yellow stuff and would think yellow is my fav color. Well! Guess wat! YOu are wrong. i like yellow but it's not my fav color. My fav color is sky blue. I shall not move away from my main topics. This pouch cost me, (too long to remember, but at that time i was still a poor student so i assumed i would not buy too expensive stuff) around less than
20 Bucks
Well many of you will think that i'm a big spender or even worst, one who waste money on too much bags. But i guess it's fine with me Some people like spend a few hundred on just a bag. I just simply spread out the dollars into more bags,tat's all. ANyway, it's a hobby lah! And also a form of retail theraphy. But i won't encourage pple to buy bag for me as a present. I'm quite seasonal. There are times i'm just not attracted to any bags. I think i still have a few more bags lying around. I'll go and dig them out and put them on display. So until then. Envy me! Muahahaha!

4 - 6 July 2005 ( Thursday - Saturday)
4 July 2005 (THURSDAY)
3 July - 11pm
I started to make my paper roses for the Dinner under the Stars. It's so exciting. I just can't wait for that nite. The guys suppose to be a gentleman and go to bring a girl to their seat. And at the same time, they will present the rosse to them as an expresesion of friendship. Intending to make light yellow for all the youths. There's a significance of the rose. Light yellow is actually the mixture of yellow and white. Yellow stands for Friendship and White stands for purity. And the rose is paper which means it will not wither and it represents eternal. So the Frendship between them will be one that is pure in God's eyes and one that is for eternal. Isn't this sweet. Hmmm! I'm proud of my masterpieces and i thank God for this gift He has given to me. Then the married couple, i make red roses for the husband to give to their wife. Well, the colour speaks for itself. Need no explanation. By the time I'm done, it's like about nearly 2am.
4 July - XXpm
Can't really remember wat time i woke up. Should be quite late. But I did manage to wake up in time to catch the repeat of my present favourite korean serial, Da4 Chang2 Jing2 at 10.30am. Suppose to go down to Marina South to check out the firework display area. Going down over there to watch fireworks during National Day. It's really eye-opener becoz you are like 1 km away fr the firing area. And the fireworks seem like they are filling up the whole sky and it's really beautiful. So trying to bring some of the youths to have a look. But then, the sky was getting dark, so couldn't go. Guess have to wait for another day to go down and check up the place. If i didn't remember wrongly, i dropped by church to have lunch with Lydia, Eleanor, Li Boey and Pastor Ngiam Koy. Then there was this new dish. - shelled seafood called 'joot joot' becoz you need to suck the meat out fr the shell and you make that sound while sucking. Then when i was paying, i got a shock. That "joot joot" cost 2 bucks. Wow! SO expensive. Anyway it's my first time trying. So actually, had quite a difficult time getting the meat out and honestly, i dun think i want to make such a loud 'joot joot' sound in the midst of the crowd. Haha! Finally after a long and hard fight, I was the victorious one. Though I suffered much damaged to my dignity. The rest was like laughing at me. But never the less, I know I had done a great job. My smile was one with pride and esctasy. Yah! Yah! Crap. After lunch, I had the final number for the Dinner under the Stars. Realise not enough roses, so got to make more this evening. So went home, den at night, make the remaining roses. Yawn! So tired!
5 July 2005 (FRIDAY)
Woke up a bit earlier. Had school in the afternoon. After school, I went to Singapore Plaza to do some of my shopping. Needed to buy some scented rose petals to scent my paper roses. Den also need to buy some ribbons to tie up the guys gifts. Anyway the guys gifts are a blue frenship band. Really thk God for this. Usually the band cost 1.95 per ring but when i went to check it out, it was on offer. Buy 1 get 1 free. Really good deal. So after the purchase, went to Kallang MRT to meet the youths. GOing for Festival of Praise. Suppose to meet 5.45pm but as usual some are late. I think we left at abt 6pm, den queue up for the Chartered bus. When we reach Indoor stadium, it was like packed and this time, the whole situation was different from last year. Very organised and systematic. Only 2 gates were opened. The North and South gate. We tried to get in thru the North Gate. By the time we got in, we only managed to get the South Gate seats which is like we are admiring people's bums. I just dun get it, they shd have opened the gallery seats but they didn't. End up late-comers got a better seat than us. So frustrating! haha! This year, FOP invited Hillsongs and Delirious. So both band took turn to lead. Well! I haven't been keeping in touch with Hillsongs so most of the songs are relatively new to me. Making it worst, was that the screen was facing indirectly at us which means everything was mirror imaged. Cant' read the lyrics. Then Delirious is too heavy for me. The music was blastin at my ears. Just couldn't worship. Tried shutting them out. Work initially but after a while, it becomes too heavy for the head. Nearing to the end, I left early with Ding Yi. BOth of us couldn't take it. Den took this chance to fellowship a bit with him. Finally when FOP is over, met the rest and walk back to Kallang MRT to take the train. So finally reached home was like real late. So tired.
6 July 2005 (SATURDAY)
Woke up! Did some rearrrangement for this evening dinner. Then late morning went over to Eastpoint to get some of my materials, den drop by church to print some stuff and went home.Then was like nearly 2 plus. So did up last minute touches to my flowers and gifts. Then finally changed into my shirt and pants. The guys say they wanted to wear tie. I was like erh over my dead body. No way. I rather go in a suit. Haha. Did i mention this somewhere before? SOund very familiar. Den went down with my 'ba rang ba rang' and took a cab. Then went to pick up Claudia and Li Boey. By the time we reached Novena Square, it was like nearly 6pm. Lydia and some of the youths were still doing last min decorating of the dining area. So when every thing was up, more or less everybody had arrived. Then every one mingle around and we had a cocktail reception. Cool! Very formal ocassion. Then we started off with games led by Khim. Didn't know wat they were playing. I was doing some thing eles. Then after tat was worship. And after tat was the highlight of the day. The guys were supposed to go and pick up the girls and bring them to their seats. And they were suppose to present a rose to them. I told the married men to lead by example. So Robert, William and Zhi Yang went first to their partner. Then the rest of the guys were all very shy shy. All hesistating. HAHA! I really found it funny. But eventually, all the guys swallowed their pride and went forward to pick up their partner. Well! Done Gentlemen! Oh yah! Another thing abt the girls. They all look superly wonderful and beautiful. All came in dress. I'm really like jaws dropped to my knee and tongue was rolling onto the floor. Honestly, they should really wear skirt or dress more frequently. It's like dress or skirt is really an invention by God for ladies so as to really bring out the true beauty in them. So gracious and attractive. Hmmm! I'm sure some of you are already like saying Wait long long. So after being seated, the guys were suppose to fetch erh or rather help to serve the girls. And i'm sure all the guys did a pretty good job. And yes! I did a pretty good job too. So along the way, there were some table games. Then i went around to check how's the 'situation' like in every table. Some table were a bit on the quiet side while there are some that was talking like none stop. My worst mistake was to put Jerome, Si Yuan, Natanielle and Samantha in one table. They were the cheekiest of the lot. I was being teased by them. Can't believe it. A 24 yr old guy being bullied by a bunch of sec 1 and 2 kids. Hmmm! Life is just so hard now-a-days. Haha! So nearing the end of the dinner, the girls were suppose to present the frenship band to the guys as an expression of thanking the guys for taking care of them for that night. And Claudia was like very splendid. She did up a small booklet for everyone which talks about frendship and etc things and was like really beautiful. Every card is custom made for that individual. It bears the name and the foto of the person. Really a lot of hard work for her. haha! Me feel like i didn't do much for the dinner. Then at the end of the dinner, guess wat? Yes! Clear rubbish lorh. I hope everyone had enjoyed themselves. One lessson I learnt though from this dinner. Yes we may come dress up for the ocassion but i personally still feel the character of one is the most important. A gentleman or a lady is not seen in how or wat he or she dresses in. It's in the character. Yes the dress code does make one look different but it's the heart that the Lord sees. Then was speculating whether to take cab or mrt but den take mrt lah since have to escort the youths back. Really a long and tired day. But really very exciting.Praise the Lord for this ocassion becoz He provided for that wonderful place and also that night's weather was really good. (Though i still melted and felt a bit unpresentable lah! Imagine my partner has to keep seeing me wiping my sweat off myself. Haha!)
3 July - 11pm

3 August (Wednesday)
Today no school. Suppose to go to Changkat Changi Secondary School for my volunteer work but today the kids are not in school. They all having Camp. But I still went over to talk to the teacher in charge. Need to settle some stuff with him.
So after that, I left for Tampines to do some shopping. I went to Tampines Mall. The first shop I visited was a bag shop. HAH? BAG SHOP? Yes! I'm a bag collector by the way. Realised that it's in the gene. My sis collects handbag, i collect school and sports bags. Haha! But I usually dun buy too expensive bag. I usually dun spend more than 30 dollar for a bag. So today spotted a Vertical bag which i thought was nice and lovely and after discount cost only 18 bucks. So without much hesistation, I paid for the bag. Muahahaha. Retail theraphy.
After that, I went to get some stuff for the preparation of this coming Dinner under the Stars. So exciting. This is a dinner arranged by the Youth Ministry, when the youths will come together not just for a meal but also a time to teach them on dinner etiquette. Then all of them suppose to dress up casual smart. I heard the guys going to wear Shirt and tie. And the girls also talking abt wearing skirt. If you wonder what so great abt girls wearing skirt, well, in our context our girls hardly wear skirt except for in school. I'm sure the girls are going to look fantastic in skirts. And the guys are going to look charming in their shirt and tie. Hehe! Over my dead body if i have to wear a tie. I always find myself look funny in a tie. I rather come in a suit.
So after purchasing for the necessary stuff, I went to GV and bought a ticket for a 2pm show, Little Brother. Korean movie. Charles and Emily highly recommended it. So I thought must be a good movie. Good is an understatement. It's beautiful and touching! Hardly can find movies that is so real and so close to one's heart. It talks abt this 2 brothers. The older brother is diagnosed with brain tumour. The younger brother is still very young and mischevious so initially he could not really relate and behave to this situation. Den the movie progressed in coaster ride manner. One moment is so sad den next something good happen, den next the mood depressed den next there's hope and it goes on for a few scenes until the final scene, just couldn't hold the emotions anymore. You will just automatically go into tears. Thkfully the hall was not filled. Only a handful of people. Even then i was trying to control my crying sound. Haha! I love foreign movies. The acting is so good. Their body language is so strong and emotional. It's like even before i read finish the subtitle, from their expression you could alreadi feel the whole atmosphere. Beautiful! Highly recommended! (But if you are those who only goes for Arnold's, Stallone's high action movie, give this a miss)
So after the movie, i went home.

Hmmm
Oh my! I haven't been bloggin for like erh a while. Time to do some catching up. And yes, my daily scripture verse has been overdue since last Tuesday. Well! I will fill in the missing days. Soon enough! Or maybe I'll just from a new day. Haha.
Saturday (30 July)
Well! Last Saturday (30 July) was quite eventful. Afternoon had our youth fellowship. Haha! I was leading worship and I did a session on Silent Worship or rather this is the 2nd time i'm doing it. (i titled it Return of the Silence of the worship). I did something similar 3 weeks ago. I played some Christians songs and i told them to remain silent and to either write out love letters, poems to God or draw something that symbolises God or scripture verse that God is speaking to them . Basically just to keep them thinking about God. Den this time, i was goin to try something new. Yes! I will still require them to be silent and all i need them to do is to sing with their heart and medidate upon the lyrics. I guess there are many a times, when our lips just dun want to worship God whether if it's rebellious or tired, we know our hearts want to worship God. And when we truly worship God with our heart, we really can encounter His presence. It really makes a lot of sense to the song "The heart of worship". "When the music fades, all is stripped and i simply come." But many people questioned me if i'm just taking a short way out of leading a proper worship session. Haha! Honestly, i dun find it in any way shortcut. In fact i find it quite hard since it's something new. What happen if people got too bored and walk out of the worship session. Hmmm. But thk God it work out fine.
After tat we broke into the boys and girls group. This is our 4th session for the series of For Men/For Women. So Charles first ask us wat do we look for in our future partner. (The girls did tat in the opening week and that one of which they say is tat the guy must be less smart and rich) So the guys pointed out that the girl must be stupid, rich and pretty. Sweet revenge! We had a good laugh but den the guys were serious and they did list out certain criterias that are worthed thinking abt. Then after that Charles referred us to a scripture chapter that talks abt what a Godly wife shd be. Hmmm. Am i suppose to make my way to Venus to try my luck? Haha! OPSS! Offended some people! Well it may sound hard but it's not impossible. Just got to trust in God to provide the right one at the right time.
After that, i went for my worship practise. Wanted to teach a new song, "Now that You are near" by Hillsongs. Hmmm. Quite annoyed with myself. I am just a beatless and rhythmless person. I just can't enter on time at some part of the songs. But after much encouragement from my team members, we manage to run thru the songs.
Den tat evening suppose to meet up with some of my Secondary Sch classmates for a birthday celebration. But worship practise ened a bit too late. So when i called them, they were going off soon and my presences is not required. Hmmm. So sad. So end up meeting the rest of the youths who were eating at Eastpoint Food Court. Then we discussed abt meeting for Festival of Praise on this coming Friday. Then after dinner, talked a bit more den went home.
Sunday (31 July)
Woke up early den suppose to start worship pract at 8am but onli manage to start at 8.30am. Ended up being very panicky. Have to try to calm myself down. But i guess nothing unusual lah. Always like tat one. But now better at managing this feelings. Well did my best at the worship but something happen and really kinda annoyed (with myself lah) and kinda of make me lose my confidence. Hmmm. Somehow i felt like i was reverting to my old self - low self esteem and always running away fr confrontations. But i told myself i just have to manage my feelings. So things got a bit better. After church, met with William, Lydia, Charles, Emily, Danile, Wilfred, Lionel, Xin Ling, Yvonne for lunch at Hola. Talk a lot abt Mission Trip.
After tat went home, changed and prepared for evening soccer match. Met Daniel and went down together. We eventually won the match 4-2. Darren finishing his hat-trick with ease and Marcus adding one from a far range into the top corner. Then Jason was playing as keeper. Well! I would rate him a not too bad job. Hmmm. But he got to learn how to save shots using his HANDS and not his legs. I nearly vomitted blood everytime a shot is taken at him. Haha! After the official match, we had a 2nd round. I played as keeper and den was the first to let in the first goal. Den Colin equalised with a trapping from a cross and den tapping the ball pass the keeper with style. And tat's the final whistle. After tat , took a ride home from Kenny.
Oh yah! Just remember something, Have been sneezing quite frequently for the last few days. I dun usually sneeze that frequently. Hmmm. Must be either someone is thinking of me or CURSING me like mad. Haha! I think it's the latter.
Monday (1 Aug)
Went to sch today. Was alighting from Dolby Ghaut MRT den notice this bride and groom taking wedding fotos in the station. So interesting. It's like they are in their happy world while the backgrounds are surrounded by rushing people. Hmmm. Maybe I'll take my wedding fotos at the graveyard. Haha! Till death do we part! Muahahahahha.

Went to sch today. Was alighting from Dolby Ghaut MRT den notice this bride and groom taking wedding fotos in the station. So interesting. It's like they are in their happy world while the backgrounds are surrounded by rushing people. Hmmm. Maybe I'll take my wedding fotos at the graveyard. Haha! Till death do we part! Muahahahahha.
