Great Weekend

2010-12-30T23:42:00.003+08:00

Its just been a wonderful few months. Last semester results had been thankfully good for the amount of work that i managed to understand. Praise God for that, since I spent alot of time outside school, trying to lead a normal life with friends and also ministry.The weekend that passed was one of the most wonderful weekends that I've ever had in recent months (minus the fact that I dint get to see

Focus

2010-12-11T16:58:00.003+08:00

Dont focus on the small things and miss out the big things Right now, I'm kind of feeling quite down after my chemistry paper. Its not because it was difficult. The questions were not that difficult, but completing it in 2 hours is the difficult part. And the main reason for all the mourning was because of a 5 marks question that I did wrong. But the working was still relevent.Walked out of the

A Talk with Boon Hao; Lesson From Noah's Ark

2010-11-05T15:36:00.004+08:00

One of the first few stories in the bible, and naturally the first few bible stories I recall learning. That faithful day when God closed the ark, Noah and 7 other members of his family were with him too, and that included his wife, 3 sons and 3 daughter-in-law. Its been one of the most famous stories ever told, even inspiring a movie recently; "Evan Almighty". I had the opportunity to talk to a

Before the Morning

2010-10-09T20:07:00.006+08:00

Been going on YouTube during study intervals to listen to some contemporary christian music and also christian radio, namely Spirit 105.3 FM. Found this song, and its ministered to me in a way that tells me that; no matter what pain I am going through or will go through, it cant compare with the joy that's coming. I also found the story behind the creation of this song, and its amazing. I'll

Happy Children's Day, and the not-so-young shall continue to study...

2010-10-01T16:03:00.005+08:00

Having a season of closeness with God now, and its really refreshing. Naturally cos of such seasons, been praying abit more lately.The Word of God is really true; the more I pray, I have many more temptations coming into my mind. From time to time, my thoughts start to stray, but its so much easier to stand up against all these temptation with God's strength.Been a bit more active in Campus

One Month Into Year 2 Sem 1

2010-09-23T15:45:00.005+08:00

It seems that I've once again become busy. Too busy for my own good I guess. Need to make a conscious effort to plan my daily schedule to ensure that I have the minimal rest of 7 hrs of sleep and a substantial time of being refreshed by God's word and through prayer.Many things I've committed to lately, generally things in Crusade and Family. Spent a seemingly uneventful summer break doing

This is my hall. LOL. I entitled this picture "Heaven and Hell" on facebook. HAHABest friend for exams; TYS.Me and Jem.There was this night i woke up scratching and trying to find the culprit, but gave up after a few minutes. I woke up to realise that I had squashed it against the wall. hahaI killed this with my finger. I pointed at it and it died. LOL. just joking. more like I did a quick 'poke'

What I'm up to lately

The NS Book ProjectExams have ended and there are many things for me to accomplish this summer! Of course, one of the most pressing things that has to be done is the NS Book project that me, TY and Jeshua decided to do.Basically, when it first started out, I wanted it to be a source of encouragement to those going into NS, or are already in NS, but most importantly, to my younger brother. As an

So here is my exam schedule.*Legend: FE1007 - Mathematics II MS1002 - Physics II FE1008 - Computing FE1003 - ChemistryIts not my first time taking exams, but I am still nervous to a little extent. Just normal. Before coming to university, I keep telling myself that I am going to make it into the 1st class honors, I'm gonna mug and mug non stop,

Midweek Adventure

2010-04-04T00:56:00.002+08:00

A picture speaks a thousand words. Thats 3000 words up there. haha.This is probably the most interesting thing that happened. Not even pain cos there was a blood clot below the nail since last week. hahaEnjoy.

A Busy Week Passed

2010-03-25T21:44:00.001+08:00

(this post was meant for last week, but i dint had time to complete it too. haha. So while I chase up on tutorials last week, I'll finish this last bit of blog post this week :D. FYI, the title for this blog post was supposed to be "A Busy Week Ahead", but since the week passed, I had to change my title as well as some of the way i phrased stuff, e.g. "I have to meet one deadline" became "I had

1st Born Plant

2010-03-22T22:53:00.001+08:00

(This post was mean for 1 and a half month ago, but only managed to complete it today. haha)I recall last august, when I first watered the seeds of the chilli plants, nothing grew. For 21 days, I continued watering it, hoping to see a tint of green rising up from beneath the soil. Still, nothing happened. I was at the verge of giving up, but for ritual sake, I continued watering, without much

The NS Book Project

2010-02-23T14:15:00.002+08:00

Dear brothers,We’re working on a NS book project. It’s going to be a compilation of our Church of Singapore NS testimonies. The purposes are threefold. Firstly, to thank God for bringing us through those dark and dreary days. Secondly, to encourage those who are about to enlist or are still serving the nation. Thirdly, it’s to give our sisters-in-Christ a better understanding of NS.

God and NS, God in NS

2010-02-11T17:34:00.001+08:00

Just want to put this up here for friends who visit this blog but who I haven't talked to for a while. Taiyong, Jesh and I are in the formative stages of coming up with a book. The key idea is for those who've been in uniform to share who God was to them inside of NS. The plan for now is to compile testimonies from church members regarding their experiences and how God was involved in those

Adam's Story

2010-01-27T21:48:00.008+08:00

Adam alighted the school bus and walked toward his home, dreading every step. It had been a long day at school, and so much had happened. Earlier during recess time, a classmate whom he did not fancy had walked up to him and hit him on the back to irritate him. Adam, in his fury, turned back and scolded a vulgarity at him, which resulted in a heated exchange of vulgar superlatives, and ended up

Faith - About a Dog

2010-01-13T18:35:00.002+08:00

When I first realised that Faith was supposed to be the name of a dog, I was like, 'Why is someone making fun of such a wonderful name?' I was in for a pleasant surprise. Please enjoy the following link.If my memory served me right, the family was going through some crisis and this dog came about, hence the name.Its been the 3rd day since school had started, and incidentally I realised that

Hitting the Quota

2010-01-07T23:03:00.004+08:00

Yup, if you are wondering why am i blogging the third time this week, its obviously because i want to hit the quota. According to reliable sources, my blog lacks serious updates, and only a certain friend who pursues nursing is able to say proudly that she definitely blogs lesser than me. HAHA. oh wells.And if you, my dear readers, observe, I put in a title for this post. I think it looks more

Happy New Year 2010I found this picture online while looking at nice pictures of trees. I've never seen such a whitish tree before, and its either winter, or it is photoshoped (just like the family potrait of a certain close friend hung on his living room wall). Either way, its a sight to behold. A tree like this would likely require constant watering(rain) and sunshine. Nice.The first post of

Just finished my Cyber Security Paper less than 2 hours ago. For brothers and sisters out there who are praying for me, I'll do a bit of updating on my exams.Last friday was the first paper, and it was maths. For the whole week each morning, I made it a point to spend some time with my God before starting the rest of the studying, and God had been true to His word. I've been able to complete more

2009-11-16T20:59:00.002+08:00

Took a day off yesterday from the studying, even though exams is so near. Spent the day in church till a good part of the afternoon is gone, catching up with churchies, and playing table tennis with my bro. Had the liberty of using the car since my dad was in malaysia over the weekend. Sped things up alot, and thanks to the convenience of it, i was able to visit my grandma for the first time in

Friends are one of the things in life that God bless me with, and may faithful friends abound around the faithful.The last weekend had been one of the most pleasant weekends ever, since the start of school. Friday was Cheryl's birthday, and we had a feast at Tony Roma at Suntec. They sell THE best ribs in Singapore. And more importantly, tony roma tasted so nice because of the Buy-2-Meals-Get-1-

In a blink of an eye, my first uni sem is going to come to an end with just a little less than a month to my examinations. I wonder in this last months, how much of the things i do ard in school really please my maker? Sure I tried hard to keep away from ungodly friendship and commitment, but i seem to be struggling with my studies. When i look myself in the mirror, i cant remember a time when i

2009-10-17T02:03:00.003+08:00

Struggle is when people plan to cheat in a test, and you try to convince yourself not to partake in their fellowship.I had a test on monday, people sitting shoulder to shoulder.Cheating was not an issue, the real test was not to.I told God that 'I lift it up to you', and found out I answered at least 2 questions wrong the minute it ended.Smiled to myself and sigh, oh what ill-fortunes for those

2009-10-08T18:03:00.002+08:00

Yups, its me again in my brown army shirt. You might ask, 'Whats up with the many updates recently?' Honestly, i dont know, but feel like recording this important moment of my life.'What's so important?', you might ask. Well, the rosemary plant that i had been nurturing since it was a seed, just dried up over the weekend.See how sad I was. if you look closely at the pot, there no longer is any

2009-10-05T03:30:00.005+08:00

Sleep.I've been struggling to sleep recently. Actually, only for 2 consecutive nights, but the feeling of a tired body but an awake mind really left my thoughts and body confused. Its like my brain is in the south pole and my body is in the north. First night, I struggled for 7 hours to sleep, and at least only managed something close to 40 winks. Second night at TY's house, my already very tired

How I wish I were a fly that a chameleon would swallow,A fish that a cat could eat, bone that dog may chew on.At least then, my existence would have served a purposeWhen studying don't yield the results which others reap from theirsI find myself asking, 'God, why like that?"Maybe, just maybe, God made me without study-discipline,so that i might learn it on earth.Maybe, only maybe, God made me

Surprises of surprises, its my second post in 1 hr when i can forget about for the last 2 weeks. Yeah i was too preoccupied studying(or at least like to think so), so now since its my recess week, i thought i'll clock abit of entries. haha.Finally, its time for me to explore PhotoBooth. Its such a delight.See those green eyes? They turn green when i am thinking about my hometown in Mars.Lol, just

There, cheers to the blogger team which finally make it seem as though my blogger's picture update icon is working. I shall henceforth introduce you all to.. my dear plants...Here's my chilli plant, the right one being the 3rd-borned, while the left one is the youngest-4th.Arent they pretty? I figured so.This is my second borned. The eldest is also like it. I think its because i transplanted

2009-09-14T23:33:00.002+08:00

The chilli plants are growing quite fine now. Theres an average of like 6~7 leaves per plant, whichis rather healthy. They are all in the green of health. lol. My firstborn chilli plant and second born, which i had transplanted, dont seems to be growing as fast as the 3rd and the 4th. In fact, though the 3rd and 4th grew 1 week later, they are like rapidly catching up. Boy, i'm so gonna get a

2009-09-03T23:42:00.002+08:00

Alright, now to do a little update on my chilli plant.Just last week, when i thought that there would only be 1 chilli plant per 'can' of soil thingie i bought from taiwan, out grew 2 more, and they were both competing for sunlight and nutrients. So, over the weekend, i braved the heavy rain to go to a nursery near church to buy 2 more pots and some soil, along with some fertilizers. Thought that

2009-08-24T23:57:00.002+08:00

Yay! Finally, after almost 2 long weeks, my chilli plant had finally shown its first leaves. I was seriously near the point of giving up on the plant, since the instruction manual said that it should sprout in 5 days, yet it took about 2 weeks for my case.We can easily translate this into the spiritual realm and use it as an analogy, and rightfully so, since Jesus had compared christians to seed

Due to one of the modules in school, I've been led to change my BSF from the monday class at Telok Ayer Methodist Church, to the class at Novena on tuesday. It's God's grace that the transfer was effected and within a week, i was allocated a class. Of course, this would mean that i had to leave my BSF group mates whom i had grown comfortable with, and start all over again in a new environtment. A

TVM ( TV Mobile ) quote of the day: To conquer all fear is the beginning of wisdom.I was looking at the above quote and it looked uncomfortably familiar, which was when i realised that the second part was actually from the bible in the book of proverbs(if i'm not wrong), but the first part is reads differently. The bible actually says that 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom'.Its all

Uni have started, though not the tutorials. Bunking with a dear bro in Christ, Jem. He's majoring in maths and he showed me the following maths theory.Let a = b <--- Equation 1 Hence, a2 = aba2 - b2 = ab - b2( a - b )( a + b ) = ( a - b ) ba + b = bHence, subbing Equation 1 into the above equation, we get the following;2b = band hence, 2 = 1So, my conclusion is, why study maths? hahaOn a

On a more serious note, I'm here to jot down some of my processed thoughts.To date, I've lived 21 years and 3 months less 7 days. How have I been using this time, mentally? Besides the time when i am sleeping, doing work, struggling with various devious thoughts, i guess alot of time had been spent on thinking about my place with God.Not that it isnt good. It is good, thinking about my

Back in Singapore at last. I'm not suppose to mention this, but for the sake of those who had been praying for my safety, i have to inform. In the last month, i have successfully passed Jeshua 2 of his shirts, and gone through a hastened commandos course in thailand. However, to keep all these training a secret, my commander had given us USD 5000 each to spend on food in 5 days, so that we will

One thing i learn abt blogging is that, if you have nth better to blog, if you have nth better to say, then just dont say. Because, blogging, just like writing a song or even a master art piece, requires the 'mood' and the 'feel'. Without it, the post will probably be just blend, just like this post. The reason why i typed this post is because, i just feel like typing out a blog post. However, i

Now, there was supposed to be 5 main people who were supposed to make it. Me, Taiyong, James, Jeshua and Lowell, but ended up only 4 turned up.

Indeed, its been a really really good time of rest, just the pure knowledge that i am not required to wake up early the next morning, this is just a revolutionary truth. Anyhow, I managed to spend quite abit of time with the Word. Man, I've never realised the beauty of Psalms even though I had read through it more than once. So, I

They were standing there wasting time, instead of saving the world like they should have been. Maybe thats why the crime rates uped.And also, the handsome Lim Brothers found the fabled Giant Peach.

Probably, focusing of many things is, exactly the same as not focusing, at all.As it is, I seriously only am one person with one mind. Maybe the meaning of 'Caleb' , since it means 'the devoted one', has another interpretation such that it reads, 'unable to multi-task'. Might not be a bad thing though. lol.Curent moment: 47 more days till ORD.

What will you do if someone published an essay, wholly dedicated to put you down?The normal reaction from a mild temperate being would be to let the wildfire of anger burn immediately without being quenched, to write back in retaliation until the last drop of ink on earth had been used up. If only it could be done this way. As the world continues to be observed, few can challenge the notion that

Yes, farms as in Hay Diaries Goat Farm, Fish Farm, Veggie Farm.The tour guide for the day was this guy whom we addressed as 'Uncle William'. Talked non stop (i guess you have to have this talent if u wanna be a guide) and i was amazed that even after 30 minutes into the trip from Base to Yio Chu Kang,

27th today. 2 more days till Taiyong's touchdown to homebase. Its been a long long time...Now, for the highlights of the past week1) Had an X-ray of my lungs at Aerospace Medical Centre. Can you believe it? Singapore Technologies even has the Medical wing. Got a 2 days MC at 4.30pm that day, which effectively means only 1 day of rest. Just for latest updates, i havent recovered from this

Heartbreak.First time in a long while i've added a title to my blog post. Emo, emo, emo. Heart-wrenching indeed, and its been like that since saturday. To make it worse, this emo thing feels like its gonna last a long long time, and this is definately not the last time i will feel so. How now, brown cow?Sigh, its like this everytime i think about this batch of Primary Six-esrs, ever since

Been on MC from yesterday till today. Some serious coughing translates to some serious resting at home. Lots of sleeping and now, i'm half as fit as a fiddle.I'm quite glad to announce that i've officially joined the I-Read-The-Whole-Bible-Within-One-Year club. Its been on my mind to do it for the past few years before i finally settled down and started during the SAFSA Track And Field

Today, 2nd last day of PSLE for those who do not take higher mothertongue. 3 days ago marked the last session of the weekly tuition which few of the p6 sunday school teachers had organised in a joint effort. Indeed, I've been greatly blessed by being part of this ministry. Teaching a classroom lesson had never been my forte, but i do love these kids. I'm glad to be working with Lowell, Angela,

Bro Tian Ming was sharing about his insights on Psalms 23 yesterday during service. I thought it was very apt, the message. For certain reasons recently, i've been forced to look back at my walk with God. If possible, i would really liked to put on sackclothes and sprinkle some dust on my head to mourn. Mourn, because the spiritual platform i am standing now is much shakier and further away from

Spent Sunday late morning till about 3 plus in the afternoon in the zoo. Thought that it was pretty much revamped from the zoo i used to know. And the best part was, our class has the best student to teacher ratio; 1 is to 3. 1 student, 3 teachers. Oh well, on a self consoling note, i'm glad most of them are trying/being forced to opt out of this children's day trip so that they can /attempt to

"Everything is possible with God. Dont let your mind get in the way."Such a phrase is very common sense in church, though it really sounds wierd to me. Since the creator created us with brains to think, how come its this 'thinking' that stumbles most. Well, its interesting nontheless.I must say that getting my Class 3 driver's license on the first attempt was really beyond me. Toally impossible

For those interested in hearing out the 2 presidencial candidates for America - John McCain and Barack Obama - with Pastor Dr. Rick Warren (Author of Best-seller "Purpose Driven Life") as the moderator. Both men were put through the same sets of questions and the answers that were given either tells how prepared they came with answers, or how sincere they are in answering the questions. Have a

Was watching the olympics women table tennis team event finals. Lol. Total trashing. And the english commentator, was totally being a joker. Haha.Fast forward one day later and it was in the news after Singapore's defeat in the finals; "Singapore wins Silver". How ironic. Its the wont be the same if Phelps get the silver for one of his events. It would probably read, "Phelps losses the Gold",

'Peace' and 'Justice' are indeed a wierd couple. Most people would think that justice should be present before peace can be served. However, there are just some odd cases whereby there has to be peace before justice can even start to take root. Such senario, we should simply wait and let God. Right, God?FOP was a blast. Its the 22nd one and this year's invited band consists of the Hillsongs Band

Was reading a devotional material and i found a quote from the late Mother Teresa; "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."Pondered upon it and thought, how true. But however, if ever there were any great things being done around the world for the poor, than it will only be the outcome of the combination of all small things done with great love.

Sometimes I wonder, whats it like being blind like Uncle Paul. Yes, I would be deprieved of seeing the colours of the world, but like him, I want to be more attuned to the colours in a person's life. I'm sure that people like him, people who are blind but never stop seeking God, are more able to see the world in its actual hue.

Came back from my younger cousin[sophia] birthday chalet yesterday. I could only say that, cousins are good to be exploited, like how she used me and aaron as chef and BBQ fire starter respectively. Yeah, my cooking aint really that good, but i was trying this new thing, lol. Its Taupok with egg toufu between(cant find fish paste). Its crispy yes, but kinda not sweet like fish paste. Ended up

In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel, which was right opposite to a church. The church & its congregation started a campaign to block the brothel from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the brothel and it was burnt to the ground. The

Getting my butt into business really taught me alot, and even now, i am still being educated. To relate it to church and christianity also helped me alot in increasing and expanding my understandings and perspectives. Now, its not just about logics and theories.

OOC-ed already.For a long time, this ship had been on stormy seas; her captain refusing to steer the rudder for he too, was at his wits' end. He had lost his compass.

It is his final chance of ever making out of this storm alive. He know this, as water

so SISPEC it is.Ever wondered why God do not punish pastors with seemingly warped doctrine? Punish them by like, destroying their fellowship, making their roof fall down on their head, or even making them vomit and shit at the same time. Sometimes, i hear people discussing about certain churches regarding their, somewhat, bad practices and their incorrect interpretation of the bible. Overtime,

Farewell too, to my life and comfort, as well as my pink identification card.i think i might just like being there. A part of me just cant wait to start life as a soldier. There is the other part though. I
