Jian3 Bao4

i feel so happy, i completed chinese hw for the first time without really complaining much, usually i would contemplate on how much i hate chinese, but today, i prayed to God to ask him to help me through jian3 bao4, which i think i managed to write something XD , anw im starting to cope better in school already, at least i dont have hat much piling up on me. i hope i can keep this focus (:

Here I Am To Worship


How Great Is Our God


All For Love


Mighty To Save


this feels like planetshakers all over again, i wanna go to another one of this kinda concerts again (: and i heard from cheng howe that hillsongs are coming, well i hope they do XD
and now, ive gotta focus more on church stuff, ive not really given my all as of yet, i need to learn!

Planetshakers + Tim Huhges + Prayer Meet

oh man, ytd's performance at expo was awesome!! planetshakers were really good, though we dont get much exposure to their songs but i recognized most of them XD anyway, tim huhges was cool too, with all the acoustic songs. the guitarist used a fender telecaster and i kept whining on how much i wanted it ): and also, their drummer, mike webber is really skilled and he drums really really well. so let's see who came, me aaron cleon jonathan xiang yu alvern jing wen natalie li zhen and one whose name i dunno, hahaha i feel so rude.

anw, today's prayer meet was quite productive and could see that God really spoke to some of us there. i got one word from him today, RACE!

its arduous to explain, who wants to know can just ask me (:

100.

i hate sch to the max. esp chinese. its not that i dont do my work, i cant find the time for it. and ldw has to go sms my mum and start whining, MY GOSH, STOP WHINING, how old are you already? 50??? its not like he even cares abt our results, he just wants his salary to rise if we do well. and well, cheers to our principal, we can see most of the sec4s have one step in their graves already... student welfare??? more like foreign takeover... i dont see the need for us to be continually bombarded by so much. our time for rest is alr eaten by our urgency to study and do hw. and people like ldw have the cheek to say we're lazy. GET A LIFE, you just need to tick or cross, we have to COMPREHEND. lets do the math shall we? morning's remedial + sch curriculum + cca/remedial leaves us ending sch at 5-6. assuming we have to eat + bathe everything tt would be 1 hr. so what are we doing from 7am - 5pm? STUDY... recess is absolutely useless. so for 10 hrs we study, i dont even get the decency of resting for a short period of time as we have dumb tests the next day and some cool teacher who really loves contacting parents wants us to finish hw. this is a sick chinese takeover. he says chinese aint important, and the other hand, he and his minions take up 3/5 of the morning remedials, talk about controversy.
sometimes i really feel that i cant cope anymore. training, guitar, church and studies, its stressful to even prioritize. i just want a normal life, not one where academic reigns supreme. GOD REIGNS SUPREME IN MY LIFE!

mixing raw sugar cubes with corn flour. they had to pick out sugars cubes from the mixture and here's their pics(: how unglam, hahaha

kwan shyan and ric

Natalieand their group, hahaha

i dont have pics for the blowing one so i cant post it.

And grace amazing takes me home..

this was quite a fruitful week, i managed to complete most of the stuff i wanted to do. just that i haven't completed transferring sermon notes to my yellow notebook yet.

flashback to Saturday..

service was really awesome. God spoke to me during worship, and i cried. its been a while since I've felt like that so i really thank God for coming back again.



Lemme post the lyrics too!

Hillsong - Till I See You

The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

You are the voice that calls the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name

i guess this song shall be my new fad now, excluding alvern's craze for my specs. anw, i brought my specs to service too for alvern to do as a forfeit for losing some bible game my ric and him played. he ended up enjoying it.... after service, he went to flaunt it to the girls. and then jing wen ren ting and li zhen took turns to put on. li zhen really made a good impresonation of some really old woman. too bad i couldn't get the picture. oh well, maybe at word for life tmr or at prayer meet XD


moving on to Sunday.
met people from ca and cd. played some really old games before i went to study with alvern. cleo and another girl who's name i forgot came to study with us. and then we went home. what a conducive day (:

to end off,

Life.

Life

Breaking news! Dr. George Clooney has finally found a cure for one of the world’s deadliest killers – Cancer. Here is his first patient to receive the cure, Nathaniel Seow.
“Blink”, I pushed down the ‘off’ button of the remote control, shedding tears of relief whilst doing so. Amidst the warm beams that embraced my body, I felt alive. Gone were the days were I sat on the hospital bed, knees against my chest, praying desperately for a cure.
This battle for survival had been and exhausting one, a hard fought war between men and his nemesis. Every passing day made me feel worthless, with people coming non-stop to my ward, offering words of encouragement, commiserating with my plight while others hurled derogatory comments at me. All of the doctors saw the hopelessness of my situation; after all, cancer was an arcane matter to them. All but one man gave up on me - Dr Clooney. Nobody wheedled him into giving his all to cure me.
His devotion towards my case gave him much unwanted criticism. Doctors around the world animadvert at length upon his belief of being able to cure cancer. However, the innuendo further fueled his determination to search for a cure. He worked hard day and night, hoping to find even the slightest fragment of clues as to opening Pandora’s box or at least try to assuage my pain. He did not want to see me die without him giving try.
That cure for cancer was that elixir of life all doctors had been hoping to find. It contained the very key to enhancing the survival of mankind. Dr Clooney had made the other doctors eat their own words.
Cancer took away my all. The acculturation of this fatal being in my body meant judgment day had finally arrived for me. My family, my job, I could see all of them dissipating right in front of me. My will faded like a dying flame, unable to sustain fire much longer. That fire was Life. As the days passed, the feeling of death got stronger. I felt weak all over. The pain of losing my loved ones permeated my heart like a thousand needles. The pain was excruciating. I did not want my life to end this way. I had everything I wanted in my life, a loving family, a beautiful wife and a stable income. Yet, cancer was going to take away all these. The gift of existence from God was a controversial one. In life, we can have all we want, decide how we live it. Yet, we have minimal power as to decide how or when we want it to end. I did not ask for cancer but yet all I could see was death enveloping me. As the saying goes, “all good things come to an end.” That is a cliché, something in which I do not need. Just when all hope seemed lost, He pulled me out of decadence.
Dr Clooney restored my life to normal. With his findings I was able to return to the man I once was. It was hard to believe that an eighty-one year old man was the first one to unveil the complexities or cancer and conquer it. He was not a shriveled up old man, he was a medical Spartan, and a saviour at that. He gave me back my life and everything that came with it.
Upon hearing the good news, I gave him a bear hug, trying to dam the torrent of tears that threatened to flow down my eyes. I was alive again.
“Thank you Dr Clooney.”
“No, Thank you Nathaniel.”

i think this essay kinda sucks cuz there's like not much plotting and its super short, well im posting it here anyway =P

(: Postponed

oh yea! chinese test has been postponed, i really thank god, cuz im like so nervous abt the test, i guess he gave me a few more days to study for it =D
and we had our impromptu 2.4km run and we're all like going "WHAT???!?!?!?!"
but i managed to run 10min 15s XD

My Complete Personal Profile.

It's amazing how much colours can do in your life.

ou are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

You like the better things in life. You are sensuous and emotional. You are a follower of the Arts and you seek an environment that will give you the fulfilment to the senses that you need.

Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

i did the colourgenics test and found that its kinda true, whoever's reading this should try it (:

GUILTY, VERY GUILTY

i didnt study much, only like 2 hr plus where i spent the rest of my day playing bball or guitar. i feel so guilty guilty guilty. and there's like this chinese zuo wen test i have tmr ): guess i really need to stay away from home and study till i finish my stuff then go home. alvern the rural man lives too far from urbanization, study friend's busy preparing for her competition and some classmates just wanna go home.... =/ isit THAT good to study at home? i think im weird.

Simple Plan - Perfect


gosh, this is so punk-rock pri sch =P

Creed - My Sacrifice


alright, gotta try to focus nw

End March!

its finally end march and one mnth closer to o lvls =(
anw, today wasnt exactly great but it was okay. service went quite well but i keep getting hungry towards the end of it. after that, eating at meridien, christopher and ren ting scared me with some roasted peanut, telling me its hamster crap, guess what? i believed it... =.= and after tt we had unit meeting where ric and weijie did forfeit, i'll see if i can get the videos (:

Sports Night.

I see the hopelessness of Noel winning the house championship. We're currently 3rd as of 26th march. guess what?

new cheers - NONE
cheering equipment - NONE
practice - NONE
meeting - NONE

all the teachers never even organise meeting nor make any stuff to cheer. worst part of all, i get to be that very clown that stands in front leading the entire house into a cheer that has been there for 3 years and never won us anything. yea, cheering would be my responsibility (maybe because sometimes im very VEGAS)(its a CHS thing), but cant the teachers like help or anth. im not the one with the budget to buy the stuff, they are. oh man, tmr's gonna be really shitty, i just want sports night to be over and do whats after that (:

anw, no one told me there was high jump today and i totally missed it, crap

also, today's prayer meet was really nice, we shared abt worries and some of the personal problems that we had, and it was really nice when they prayed for me, THANKS XD, the bad part is, the journey to and fro is really far and no one lives in the urbanised area ):

Getting closer..

WHOOHOO, i broke P.B again today (: 37.55m, which means im like 2.55m away from my 2008 target which im positive i can reach really really soon (: and another breaking news : prelim 2 is starting in may (: im so sarcastically excited that my pants might even grow long XD , alright, ive to study, goodbye!

Jesse McCartney - Because You Live

Oh Lord, guide me through...

Hillsong - At The Cross



a really powerful song i heard during the easter service, and well, im thankful for God who was ressurrected (:

as i take my first step next week, be it ACS Barker or CHS, i hope that through me, people will be able to experience God. this'll be my first time trying to spread the word of Christ to others, but im praying that we all will achieve succuess. doing it alone in CHS will also be hard, facing rejection is not one thing im comfortable with. but i know He'll always be there to help and guide me (:

Luke 1:37 - For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE!

BROKE.

ive been spending and eating too much these few days, first it was "changing appetites" + swensens ice cream cake on good friday plus fried food ytd.... and the total expenditure was $60+ bucks. T.T i dunno where has all my saving habits gone too.. also, thanks to the holidays, my momentum for studying has greatly slowed down, and that OBVIOUSLY isnt a good thing, and like im supposed to study nw... =.=

like what alvern said, my trance is back again, i should stop................................................................

Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing



Sweet Surrender (:
