2:39 AM
Back from Camp K.O.
Was totally knocked out by God.
Experienced God like never before and God spoke to me and gave me encouragement as well.
Woohoo, my tribe won!
Hahaha.
Everything was cool lah.
And I made quite a lot of new friends, and even made friends with some people whom I never knew existed.
Didn't really sleep the night before camp.
And when I reached Odeon Katong at 7am.
WA SO MANY PEOPLE.
Then we did the red tribe cheer.
Probably woke the residents of the Odeon Katong up.
Haha.
Worth it anyway.
Everyone went onto the bus to the campsite.
Except the baptism candidates.
And I was one of the baptism candidates, so I remained at church.
Quite tired, so now I'm confessing out of guilt.
I slept while Cameron was giving the lessons on the 6 topics.
Haha.
Accidentally.
Anyway, lunch and headed to campsite.
'Twas at Choa Chu Kang.
SO FAR!
But nvm, I slept on the bus journey. WOOHOO!
Arrived there and was super gong.
Idk what was going on lah.
Hahaha.
Anyway, the first afternoon and night wasn't that good for me.
Cos Idk what was going on.
Then even when pastor Pat preached, I slept in some parts.
So sianjipua.
Second morning wasn't good either.
Pastor Lip Yong preached and I slept through some parts.
And I didn't feel as if I was answering the altar call lah.
BUT the second night was cool.
The secret place.
God touched me like never before.
God encouraged me before I ran into the secret place!
Heehee.
Anyway, to sum it up, it was great lah.
Definitely worth the money.
The thing about church camp, is that everyone's enthu.
Unlike normal camps, everyone's sianjipua.
This camp, everyone were all out on the cheers even though the cheers may sound stupid.
That is the camp fire that's ignited.
Hahaha.
Church camp ftw! (Y)
Anyway, hung out with Kim Siong, Chanel, Phedra, Sheng Yong, Nicholas, Royston and Valerie after break camp.
Subway.
Super funny conversation.
God has His ways of making us laugh (:
We serve a cool God!
Facebook's gonna be full of cool stuff.
Hahaha.
4 am.
Better sleep now.
Or rather, upload pics.
Anyway, my baptism's this coming saturday.
If you don't know what water baptism is, you might wanna come down and have a look.
It's open to public (:
Text me at 81922203 if you're interested to come watch.
Anyway, I wanna invite everyone too.
Baptism baptism!!
:D :D :D :D
And my baptism name's gonna be John.
Haha.

3:50 AM
Late late hour. Gotta be at church in 3 hours.
No need to sleep liao.
Going for Camp K.O.!
Gonna be MIA for 4 day and 3 nights.
Hmm..
Idk what else I haven't packed.
Repentance interview tomorrow.
So scared.
And baptism name...
Anyway, I wanna talk about a pleasant God-given surprise (:
While looking for the Clearstate office just now, my mum called me and said that the letter for the Edusave bursary was sent to my grandma's house instead of my house, and if I were to collect the money, it would be at Anchorvale CC.
Woah.
Then I was like, oh, wow, $350!
Means I'm in the top ten percent of the level :D
Imagine...
In Manjusri sec 4 express, there're around 110 students.
So that means with my prelim results, I'm in the top 11 or 12.
Woohoo!
Although my results sucked ._.
But praise the Lord! (:
Glad to know that I'm succeeding in my "Anti-underachiever" campaign.
Yay, God is great.
Ah.
Love to be in the joy of the Lord.
Feels very light and it's as if I can fly.
Any of you are heavy with emo-ness, come and drink from the spring of the God-given freedom.
Feels much better here.
Gotta continue packing.
Till I come back, byez.
God bless the people reading my blog (:

1:07 AM
I love God <3
I'm living THE life (: (: (: (:
Seriously, I just can't find any words to tell everyone how great God is.
I'm healed, provided with, delighted and ALIVE!
Super happy.
Cos I did my devotion :D
HAHAHAHA.
Super funny last night.
It's been quite awhile since I did quiet time lah.
Considered as a mini-backslide I guess.
But I still kept going to church.
That is the grace of God (:
I decided to start quiet time again last night.
My mum's super cute.
Cos it's inappropriate to lock myself up in my room for my secret place, so my door's always open.
And I share a room with my brother.
My brother was asleep, and I was reading my Bible so late at night.
The light was still on and my mum chiong into the room and wanted to scold me or something to get me to hurry go sleep.
Then suddenly she saw me reading the Bible, then she just stopped with her mouth open and awhile later, she said to turn off the lights when I'm going to sleep.
And she left to sleep.
Hahahahahahaha.
But last night was very very refreshing.
The first thing I turned to was Psalm 17.
Really liked it.
Was at camp group meeting the whole day.
Our group's gonna pawn!
Fun people I have in my group, seriously looking forward to Camp K.O.
Laughed all the way through the meeting while doing the camp preparation.
And the people are super on.
This is how a Christian camp differs from a normal one like school level camps or etc.
Steady lah.
Great fellowship.
Wa, received text today.
Like, I gaped in disbelief.
Inside was super high lah.
"So shiok, finally!"
Then the next text came.
Send to wrong person -.-
ALAMAK!
So sad lah!
All the "high"-ness kenna reciprocated.
Ah.
Nvm, my chance will come in the future.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
Having camp group meeting again, but this time, in a more happening place - church (:
There are time I turn to You,
I see You looking down at me,
Saying "Son, you have to lift your hands to me."
There are times I sense an emptiness
Despite of all I have.
There are blessings which I do not see,
That are pouring out to me.
Dear God, I love You for being You, I love You for being in my life, I love You for the amazing grace that You have chosen to flood upon me.
I thank that You sent Your Son Jesus to die on the Cross as a ransom, such that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but be saved from every bondage and addiction.
I thank You that You gave enough kindness to lead me to repentance from unrighteousness, and for the renewed conscience given to me.
I can never thank You enough.
In Jesus name, Amen.
People, all of you might think I'm siao or over-holy or too into Christianity or something, but I tell you, there's no such thing as over-spiritual.
I'm going for water baptism soon, and for those who oppose this decision of mine, let me tell you why.
God is good to me all the time, whereas not all of you are.
So, who shall I be obedient to? (:
The thing is....
I gotta submit my baptism name this saturday and I still haven't got it confirmed yet -.-
Hahaha.
Long post.
It's 2 am now.
And counting.
But I'm feeling shiok, because I feel like God's just around me (:
Psalm 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
2 verses that linger in my mind.
Goodnight people (:

2:44 AM
If a picture paints a thousand words, then I must be having a few ten thousand words here.
Photos before O levels, till now. Studying.. Woah, studying...
Yea, they were studying. I was sleeping. Ha.
We headed to the Sims Drive hawker centre.
Nostalgic, and we had the western food, bought from Concern, many Manjusrian's favourite.
Anyway, there was a day when I was out for Seoul Garden with Wilson, Samantha, Taferine, Zoe, Claudia and Cherina.
Check this out, orange in the pot (or whatever you call it) and effervescence.
Kim Siong in school uniform! HA!
Fengyi in Edwin's specs, and vice versa. Shucks.
While revising for O levels, we sat outside the 2B1 classroom.
And the dustbin was full of...
Books?
Files?
School-related stuff..?
I finally figured out what the stick thingy is.
It's a crutch.
That seat is specially designed for people using only 1 crutch.
Tag your response please.
He's coach Longfield.
Generations 2.2, at banquet after cell.
Shiok to see such a big cell (:
One of the most hilarious photos in my phone's gotta be this.
Chermaine has some kind of weird face manxzsxzs.
Hi Dwayne!...'s head... And woah, poof, GONE!
Yes, went to ECP with them.
Kept raining and winding. Ha.
City on a hill.
Hi Cherina.
This cross is actually a branch or twig or whatever.
Found it at the beach.
Cool eh.
Oh, one thing I cannot stand, crowding a around a teacher to find out the answers to O level questions.
I don't understand why.
It's already over.
Had a nightmare.
Dreamt that I got 12 points for my L1R5.
Then after the bonus, it's 10.
1 points away from my single digit.
Then I woke up very sad and disappointed lah.
But I don't think I'll do well for O levels actually.
Haiz.
But as long as I can get into a JC...
:D
Caroline 尿尿, you were there for me lah (:
You're under the second category ;D
Anyway, how're you in the States?
Ha.
Hmm, Gemmys Award's coming!
Idk what to wear.
Argh.
Formal.
Help please.

11:47 PM
O levels are gone.
Sigh of relief heaved.
Pictures, soon.
Maybe when I wake up tomorrow.
Sleeping already.
I super wanna thank God for having seen my through O levels.
Thy faithfulness~~
I super wanna thank those who've been encouraging me all the time (:
You guys are great.
I super wanna thank Phone Lay and Liu Hao for the numerous prayers before and after papers.
I super wanna thank the backdrop who've been having good meals together before, between and after papers.
I super wanna thank Aqilah for just being herself (:
Hahahaha.
Oh ya, last but not least, thanks to Edwin, Feng Yi and Sha, for being great people throughout the exams (:

2:00 AM
It's been in my head for quite awhile.
Have to post this.
Super itchy.
If you come and approach me to try to resolve a problem of mine that I have already resolved, and you do not know of it, you're a smart alec.
Hahaha.
Guess what, even in the downest of times, I still have stuff to laugh at.
I never fail to go one step ahead of you huh.
And... You always end up in disbelief, but it goes away from you after 2 seconds when you manage to change the topic.
I'm amused.
Ha.

2:11 AM
As you were talking and sharing, the only audible sound I could hear from deep within my heart was a scream.
The words were "Do you practise what you preach?!"
Because, I couldn't believe my ears when you used yourself as a model to boast. You and I both know that you aren't who you claim to be. Don't you have a conscience that screams at you as loudly as mine screams at me? Or have you already pushed it so far away that you can't hear it anymore? Because I can't tell a lie as good as you can. Repent, and take off that mask, please. You said it yourself, that you rather people be full-time christians than just half-hearted ones, and that you want people to either be hot or cold, not lukewarm.
I can't believe it.
I sat and shut my eyes and was just found to be in total disbelief.
Argh argh argh.
Anyway, O levels are coming to an end with just 5 more papers.
Thanks to those who keep tagging my blog (:
Thanks to God for just being the always graceful and faithful God who never changes (:
Thanks to those who've given me support for my O levels (:
Thanks to my cellmates and zonemates for being such great people (:
I wanna change him.
God, give me the ability to.
Thank You, in advance (:

6:31 AM
Woke up at 5:30am today.
Haha.
Lucky I slept at 10:30pm.
Initial plan was to sleep at 8.
Decided to blog now cos I've got time.
I really enjoyed the weekend of 31 Oct and 1 Nov.
There was zone 2 BBQ (We are 2, yes, zone 2!) and my Sunday was spent at church.
Was totally soaked in God's presence this weekend, thus I enjoyed.
God is really great.
Second service, Third service, splendid.
Oh, and I went for Transformation 2009 on 29 and 30 Nov as well.
After the whole thing, I can say, I'm transformed.
I don't have a goatee now.
No, I didn't shave, but it dropped off cos I played with it too much -.-
Hahaha.
Thanks to all who wished me the best and greatness of lucks, and thanks even more to those who took an extra step and prayed for me (:
God was faithful, God is faithful, and God will be faithful, Amen?
All's well when it ends well.
Guess VJC isn't the place for me anymore.
Maybe I'll not live to fulfill expectations that other people have been putting on me.
Been doing that all my life, so now, it's time to please myself.
I won't care if you're happy with my results or not.
As long as I'm happy with it, that's all that matters :D
Maybe I'll start studying again when I enter tertiary education.
Ha.
7:16 AM
1 Corinthians 13
Love
1If I speak in the tongues or languages of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body that I may boast to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Fits of anger are temporary; no one's going back to old ways.
Locking my blog soon.
Woke up without alarm clock at 6:45.
Going for first service.

11:59 PM
Ok, 6 months after Adam Khoo's workshop, I realised that mindmaps are more fun to create as notes.
Linear notes make people sleep.
Mind map or Key Ideas Tree?
Hahaha.
Nowadays, I spend every night at Parkway Mac with Edwin, studying my life away, in hope of getting superb results for O levels that might be able to bring me a single-digit L1R5.
So just now, we were there again.
And Natasha was there too.
Hahaha, crap.
Anyway, it's 12 days to O's.
26 Oct, EL paper.
Got 12 days left to change my destiny.
In God I trust.
Chermaine lent me the album "Lovesong" by the Generations Band.
It's marvellous.
Love all the songs.
Lovesong.
Hahaha.
Oh, happy day, happy day :D
1:41 AM
3 Oct, the last day.
Almost four year, yes, it has made a great difference to my life.
Like, duh.
4 years.
Can't bear to give it up either.
But I've got other things I have to seek.
Love, really means sacrifice.
It's about which one you love more.
Shucks.
Through everything, I've grown up, I've became more matured, I've learnt that not everything's fair in life.
Though there are others not as good or as compassionate as I was, I still lost in the end.
So yea, it's time to give up.
Goodbye.
Guess what now.
I'm going where I'm supposed to.
My Sundays are meant for Jesus.
And God.
I've decided I'm going into a JC that offers Guzheng Ensemble as a CCA :D
12:50 AM
Almost 1am already.
Wrote a personal recount during English.
I borrowed Gauri's pen, and chiong-ed the compo.
SHIOK, because I haven't cracked my brains for good stories in awhile.
And I almost cramped my hand while writing so quickly.
In case the story slips my mind.
So shiok shiok shiok.
Then geography mock test.
Haha, didn't stay back for night studies.
Sorry Eugene!
I went to Parkway mac, met Claudia, Cherina, Samantha and Taferine.
Prayed before I studied.
NO DISTRACTION!
I wasn't distracted!
Not till Claudia put a jelly bean in front of my eyes -.-
Kim Siong came.
Then as we left Mac, Sue Yuan came to Mac.
I completed my Globalisation notes! :D
Chat with Kim Siong till quite late lah.
Nice talking to you bro :D
My Chemistry mock test's been postponed from Friday to Wednesday!
Cos I've got performance tomorrow.
Mrs Tan is a bit benevolent after all.
Ah, tomorrow, tomorrow.
People, go to the riverside at Esplanade to celebrate your Mooncake Festival tomorrow!
Smoking area, got yellow box one ok!
I'm very inspired by Solomon.
Being king, he had to lead the people.
God allowed him to ask for whatever he wants Him to give him.
Solomon didn't ask for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, or to live a long life.
Instead, what he asked for was wisdom and knowledge to govern the people.
Woah, so cool.
And God bestowed upon him that, together with all those things that he didn't ask for.
SO COOL.
2 Chronicles 1:11-12 (NIV)
11 God said to Solomon, "Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king,
12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have."
Really, inspiring.

10:27 PM
Woke up at 9:20, just as I wanted.
Saw Zoe's text, and then I fell asleep again -.-
K, woke up at 10:15!
Then I realised 2 things.
1. I can actually go for 1st service every week before going for orchestra practice.
2. I'm super late for orchestra practice.
LOL!
Chiong arh!
I cabbed to Cheng San CC and reached at 11.
Ok lor.
I feel so dispensable.
But actually, I don't care.
If they wanna kick me out, I don't mind leh.
Cos I'm sorta sick of it liao.
Need a break.
For a few months perhaps.
My Sundays are meant for God ok.
After practice, cabbed with Desmond.
He alighted at Aljunied, I, at Katong.
Woah, reached church at 2:50.
3rd service begins at 1:30 ._.
So I went up, saw Johnny.
He said, "Woah, come in time for altar call uh." -.-
Went in, ok, worship.
Then we super prayed for one another.
Everyone!
Coolio.
Kim Siong sat with Zone 2.
Yay.
Welcome back bro.
(:
Shucks, some part of my body's always in pain nowadays.
I think I'm getting old.
My hair colour tells it all.
O levels coming.
Ooooh, studied at Siglap's Cafe Cartel with Jiayi, Natalie, Avis, Chermaine, Rystine, Rasey and Claudia.
Johnny joined us halfway.
Super constructive.
Mock exams tomorrow.
Excited?
Not.
Long week ahead, with mock exams and performances.
Wanna stop time and have a break.
Seriously need one.
Ah.
We both gave up something each.
A sacrifice.
Now, approximately 3 months later, I'm glad that we both have seen fruits of that sacrifice.
That this sacrifices were worth it, because the rewards are just so great.
(:

11:14 PM
Woohoo, today's night studies were constructive!
It's nice to be in the school at night.
The environment seems to be more conducive for studying lor.
I actually typed sleeping instead of studying!
LOL.
Only 3 things on my mind...
1. Jesus/God/Christianity.
2.
3.
Yay, goodnight, God bless!
Tired.
Bad flu.
By tomorrow, I'd have used 100 pieces of tissue.
Or maybe I already have.
H1N1.
Careful people.
Shucks, I need an ear.
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
11:34 AM
Hey all.
Not in school today, went to the polyclinic.
Something's wrong with my respiratory system lah.
Not nice.
But anyway, I'm still alive :D
Wanna talk about fighting battles.
Whether really a war or emotional or spiritual etc.
Check up the meaning of spiritual for those who might misunderstand, I'm not talking about fightint battles with spirits -.-
Anyway, there're different kinds of fighters.
Voluntary armies and professional armies.
Obviously, the professional ones are more pro, but any voluntary army that has the right motivation and strength can win any professional army.
Take for example, the Vietnam war.
The Vietnamese fought against the US for the homeland, and won.
Cool eh?
However, sometimes, people get tired of fighting, and this is because they've lost sight of the battle, thus losing the motivation and reasons they had for fighting.
They try to get others to fight for them instead.
Please, you, don't lose that right motivation and reasons of yours.
Continue fighting, please?
