People say i don't update. I ask in reply: How am i to know who reads? The tag board is stagnant and i'm Not installing a counter, so if u want to see updates so so often, Let me know u read alrite?:)

That aside,its been a while since i've last updated as well, i've been doing some reflections on certain issues pertaining to *cough* the more complicated sex & been sick as well so its kinda hard to put down what i want to say when my thoughts are all jumbled up and i'm 'high' on meds.Anyway given it some good old though and with a little sensible advice from a certain 'councilor' of mine decided that i should put it behind me and at this period to set my prorities right and focus on the impending O's.

Looking back at past entries i realised a put down this verse "Be joyful always,Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"- Thessalonians 5:16-18. No idea why i actually did back then but now i understand.Up there He knew what i was about to through and well.. He works in ways i Never understand and well once i saw it i knew. My God is an awesome God.

Thats all. Oh and my chinese oral is on the 12th of July. keep me in your Prayers ok?

I only wana be your friend.

I am nothing. yes not even a grain of sand on the beach or a drop of water in the ocean.Where i am today well.. all i can say if not for God's blessings, i wouldn't even be where i am.Someone once said. Take Christ out a Christian and your left with I.a.n-I Am Nothing. Truly it has been an eye opening day for me.Never been so despaired in the short span of a school day i just hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Its been the most enduring past 2 days.Firstly being i've never taken so many cabs in the short span of 2 days reason being i had to squeeze my 'appointments' back to back thus the need to rush from Point A to B in the quickest possible manner.Just today alone, had morining service cause Youth sunday than rush to have hair cut followed by 'work' and then Dinner with my parents & Brother. Suprisingly though,God's been Great it appears i have sufficient funds as though He knew andprovided for me in the first place.( yes btw, i pay for my own transport)It reminds me of this verse "Be joyful always,Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"- Thessalonians 5:16-18

I really thank God for Blessing me with so much that i cannot express how Gratefully i am.

Photos another time as i have some problem uploading them.

I virtually have no recollection of what happened yesterday night.Don't ask what happened, its rather bemusing anyway.Thankfully nothing serious resulted from it and well, i just to put it behind me.

That aside,Its my last weekend before the routine of school starts again,really not looking forward to it as it just adds to the never already ending pile of assignments i have.As much as i know some of these stuff is to benefit me,sometimes i really wish that i could just fly away and be so much more carefree like i used to be.Oh well O level year, time to just focus and get it over with just 130 days more i'm trepidated seriously, time really flies in the blink of an eye its almost right in front of me.

Someone please tell me to stop procrastinating and start MUGGING for the O's.In fact if u can make me, all the better.HAHA.

On a different note: To that Someone I've decided that well as long as your happy i will be too as well.And i thank God for u anyway. :)

First things first, HAPPY 17th Birthday to my 'brother' Jonathan. Hope that u will enjoy your day ar. Don't waste it away,its not everyday u turn 17.

Btw he's the guy in black on the left.




Next, Thought for the day :
Its not how much u love someone that counts,its how u show it.
(Now don't start giving weird looks and all.. Its random it has nothing to do with what i'm going through)..
There once was a boy who really loved a girl,however due to certain fears and external factors,he never dared to tell the girl his thoughts,it was only after much persuasion that he finally approached the girl.By then however, it was too late, he discovered that a close friend had actually began going out with her and getting close to her.Upon learning this, he confronted the 'friend' and demanded an explaination,what he got in reply was a jaw dropper. " You only said u loved her, but never have I once seen u show it. Since u never made a move, i figured it wouldn' t matter either if i went out with her"

Too bad for the guy in the story, he had his chance but he didn't utilise it so it disappeared. Opportunities don't come everyday, once u miss them u miss them.Nothing can change that.

To a certain somebody, if i never get to say this to u in your face,well i'm sorry , perhaps time does not permit it or external circumstances may hinder this task but if u ever read this i just want to say I Love you. :)

I'm back after a weekend trip to Bangkok for Trilogy 06(Church Camp).It was pretty enjoyable on the whole but a little too short considering 2 out of 4 days were used for travelling. Didn't exactly have much time to shop either but i have plenty of Gum for whoever wants some. Anyway this is going to be a picture intensive entry.(Best viewed in Mozilla Firefox).Thats all for now.

Camp banner






Hotel/rooms and a rather interesting shop name at the Lobby







Equipment Used




Theme Speaker: Micheal Podolinsky




Chatuchak market & Some sights in Bangkok



What really caught my eye was this Pink Cab. Like Pink?!





Oh and This house is is an exact replica of a Shan village house.





Finally a view of the airport and how inefficient it is.(Trust me it wasn't crowded they were slow)

I'm leaving a jet plane... Yes i really am, tomorrow's the day. i'll miss u wonderful people. :)

Firstly. HAPPY Birthday to My Very Wonderful CGL Allan! who's been like a brother to me.

Next,Joshua the procrastinator is back,saddening, i promised myself i would AT LEAST finish two chapters of Essential English but i got distracted and i barely finished one excerise.But i shall persevere though it late now,i shall at least finish one chapter.

Wonder if i'll actually sleep tonight, by the time i'm done, it'll probably be near 5am but anyway hope if i do i don't oversleep and miss the Lit seminar thing by the Cambridge Examiner. Not only because i don't want to get into trouble but more because i'll probably be able to learn quite a significant bit.

Got a throbbing headache right now,argh. where are my pain killers when i need them. i'll cut short this post. Post again maybe later in the day.My pains killing me.

Today i watched two movies in short span of a evening. First watched Garfield 2 with Bo Heng and after that joined by Jon, Boon Shen and Shi Sheng we went to watch CARS.
My review on Both movies.

Garfied 2: Since i had tickets to the preview and its not showing yet, let me say its quite funny but if your looking for something more hilarious Don't watch it. Its just a movie with no major themes involved.More your basic nothing fanciful movie. Good for kids who have nothing to watch.Oh and it was rather short, something like an hour and fifteen minutes only.

CARS: This is one of Disney's better movies in my opinion, interesting storyline with the theme of "Teamwork" built into the movie.What really struck me was the part which Lightning Mcqueen gave up his dream of winning the Pixton Cup in a bid to help a fellow competetor cross the finish line. Speaks of great sacrifice on one's behalf to help another.In short, a great movie that u should watch if u can afford the time. Oh and if your a parent bring your kids, for one they'll enjoy it, and for another, u can use the movie to teach them some rather good values.

Anyway there goes my second day of the June vacation, have to admit i haven't really started on any studying yet, but i will start tomorrow(or should i say today?). I shall strive for the satisfaction of understanding what i'm not too sure about currently. Thanks for the advice. :)
It makes studying seem so much more comprehendible.

Oh and anyone needs help with Science?Drop me a message or something, i gladly work something out for u.

One last thing i learned today, NEVER assume people have no plans on a holiday night. HAHA. Till next time.

My two younger sisters are the funniest people i know of that never give up even when i'm behind a closed locked door. Which part of Leave me alone don't they comprehend?Knocking on my windows or making a din outside is not going to make me open them, it just annoys me further. Call me stubborn but Hey i'm not exactly in the mood for playing games with them.(by that i mean the 2 of them 'ganging' up to try 'attack' me). Its bemusing to watch them try though, kind of brings back memories of when i was a kid.. Haha. Kids will be Kids.

Its official, the 2 weeks of extra lessons are finally over.I was kind of getting used to the idea of cabbing to school,extreme waste of money i know but its one of the few sacrifices u have to make for that few extra minutes of sleep.Been rather "Insomnia-ish" lately not sure why though, i feel tired but yet i still can't sleep which usually ends with me tossing in bed to the wee hours of the morning.Maybe its trepidation ,funny as it may sound it can happen i guess.

Oh and to end off the extra lessons,we had to go for some English seminar by the Cambridge Examiners,kinda Redundant i felt as what was mentioned was similar to what Richard has been drilling into us except the part where the first guy said that its best not to modify and memorise model essays which is totally contrary to what we've been hearing. Remember M&M?? HA.. But the second guy was hilarious,kept joking so we were enjoying ourselves.
Note to self. Next thusday and friday,remember to bring a jacket. That place is freezing.

Done. Off to what little freedom i have before i start working on that Enormous pile of Holiday homework.

I was just told that yesterday was also my parents 30th Engagement Anniversary. Wow a whole 30 years, seriously i didn't realise that they were together for so long.This is going to sound kinda mushy but i LOVE u all soo much. :) You'll probably never read this but i had to say it anyway.

YAY i love the 6th of June.Its a day of celebration to me rather than the more believed Evil day. Heh.

Its coming to the end of this excellent day. Its been great, i just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to those who messaged me and stuff.U people really made my day and brought a smile to my face.
Didn't go out as planned though, cause most of us were either too busy or exhausted but nevertheless don't worry guys, i'm not disappointed. We'll just go out some other day. :)

Oh and those of u ever want to break up with someone, PLEASE make your reasoning clear,don't just say something like "I feel God is telling me i shouldn't be in a relationship" or "The feeling between us has changed."These are horrible excuses if u ask me. And spare a thought for the other party alrite? They have feelings too, break it to them nicely.

Right, thats all bye bye 17, i'm now 17 years and 1 day old.

Due to some technical issues in blogger i couldn't update till like now.Anyway been about 11 hours since i've been 17,sadly about 9 were spent sleeeping.Kept up to 17 years of tradition by not going to school today, not intentional but it happened(my Apologies to Ms Johnson the mind was willing but the body was weak.) Lit Rawks .Blessing in diguise? possible. i don't fancy spending 2 hours of my wonderful day doing Poa. I'm probably going out with the guys later,they want me to watch the Omen with them. Birthday Horror, i'm bemused.

Okie i'm off to spend the next 12 or so hours fruitfully...i hope.. :)

Had a rather interesting day today, I learnt firstly that the science lab is rather an accident prone place. Secondly never underestimate how many people DO actually notice if u don't come to school because most likely they are the ones who usually look for u.Thirdly if a teacher is looking for u,Even if it means combing for them high and low to find them.DO IT! u'll never know what your missing till u miss it. Oh and lastly never underestimate the power of WORDS.

There i condensed my day into one paragraph. Reason being i'm tired and also cause i don't want to embarrass certain parties involved. Righto about less than an hour before i'm 17. i'll probably blog again later.

I'm finally awake after a long overdue ‘nap’.
Yesterday Allan celebrated his 17th birthday, rather huge party at this condo that most of u would have never heard of anyway. (I’ll see if I can dig up some pictures later). And as usual, after that the guys went to play LAN. We kind of didn't start playing till about 2Am cause the place was full so we went for supper first. LAN was average I guess, but we had fun. That about sums it how my night was 'sleepless'. Add to it the previous night of no sleep and vio-la the result would be an exhausted me who only had enough strength to take a cab home at 7Am,have a bath then crash on my bed only to wake up about 9 hours later.

I learnt a few things though; Firstly there are many smokers around Singapore. Secondly LAN centers are crowded 24-7. Lastly there is one career that I’ll probably never succeed in, and that would be to be a Professional Gamer. Bah. I can't play for nuts.

Note to self: Consider opening a LAN center, I heard they earn an estimate of 50k a month.

The term 'sleepless night' has found a whole new meaning.i'll post again when i'm more awake.

The thing about being a graduating batch is that well, most teachers tend to treat u better and though they don't say it most have been with us so long that we're actually more like friends now.School's been 'nice' they arranged remedials for us for 2 weeks.Talk about concerned for students.

Something happened that made me think back about all the good times i actually had in secondary school.We really had such good times then,now i guess its just study study study. i really do miss those days when we could just do what we wanted without having to worry about exams.

I really hope i can at least get a C5 or 6 for chinese O levels, to retake means to put myself under extreme pressure that i could do without i guess. I tried my best.I guess i can only commit it to my Lord and in His time, He will provide.

Oh and i was just told Prom night will be on the 29th of november. If u ask me,they could have picked a better date. Hope i'm still around by then,or else won't be able to pull a 'stunt' . Well if i do get to where i want to be by then i guess.

One last thing, i dono if you'll ever read this,but i just want to say I know i'm not the best around but thanks for the support u showed me before chinese O's. U may have thought it was not much,but to me it meant the world,and i'm grateful for that.Hope u get your A2. Keep Smiling ok? :)
