Mr Chia finally said something nice today for once. He said that it had been a pleasure teaching our class and its been a wonderful coming close to a year................ But basically i found it quite touching and also it kinda brought me down to earth with a jolt being that time really files. I mean like in the blink of an eye, almost 8 whole months have passed and like the O's are just looming around the corner. What i also realised was that this could be the little time i have left to spend with my friends before we all go our seperate ways in life. ITs Trepidating thats all i can say. I DON'T WANA LOSE U PEOPLE. =( (esp Deh for one. =) )
Let me go back in time....

Sometimes u wonder what the other party means when they do a certain unexplainable action. Could it be theres a slight glimmer of hope? Or could it just be wishful thinking? Lord please show me your way. =)
I thank God i wasn't in school yesterday... =S

Oral wasn't exactly the most well done in my life i admit, kinda froze up during conversation and had to resort to using simple words to put my point across. Kinda Stupid i know but as Richard says, after its over, don't go think about it. Concentrate on other upcoming papers. After all no point crying over spilit milk right?
Besides this i guess my day was pretty normal. Oh wait. i think something is brewing, i know this feeling deep down. NOT again. =S. I'm starting to like someone.Crap. i must be stopped.

This entry is dedicated to the electrician doing electrical work at my half renovated house.
Firstly, U are an inspiration to me,why because u're dedicated to your job and even though u didn't have dinner u still stayed till like 10 pm. Most people would go must be trying to rush job but from the way u do things i can tell u do it wholeheartedly no matter how many amendments we ask u to make.
Secondly u're a nice and friendly guy to talk to i mean most people would think after a long day everyone has the right to be grouchy but u still stay cheerful and happily do wad u must.(that i thank God, i mean most pple working on my house are Very nice pple =) )
Thirdy your focus on what must be done by end of the day is something i marvel at, most people would either go like hey its 6pm time to go home or like just install a few stuff and then take your leave, but U go the extra mile to do additional work and even do stuff i never tot u would have to do.
(my new role model. HAHA if onli i studied like he works.)

William Shakespeare Once said :"We know what we are, but know not what we may be."
How true for no one knows what tomorrow will bring except the Lord Almighty for He has planned it before we were yet born. Sometimes u have to take a step back and take a look at the greater picture before jumping to conclusions cause somethings that happen may be for a greater cause not yet known.
Praise the Lord.=)

So... I just got home after a 20 hrs stint. First Prefects Rod last night which was supposed to be a slack event, However i had to end up as usual to lend a helping hand as well.. with sec 2's its just crappy. I had to have someone break down and cry due to stress, that some sec 4 wanted to beat up some teacher/student. ETc.... They will really be the deaTH of me.
After that at about 11 i headed to join the people i promised to meet initially but got held back to the ROD, Wanted to go catch a mid-nite movie but it was too late so we just spent the night at Le Cresendo AGAIN playing PS2 and Sleeping.
Lets see then was Gb RoD this morning, initially didn't wana go down but since Bh and the few were going for Dnt i tot i'll drop by.And as usual it dragged. Thus me onli being able to return home like now.
So yeah, this is the update on the late 20hrs of my life. HAHA. I'm thankful to be alive.

So. i was bored
Your Five Factor Personality Profile |
![]() Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time." Conscientiousness: You have medium conscientiousness. You're generally good at balancing work and play. When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done. But you've been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it. Agreeableness: You have medium agreeableness. You're generally a friendly and trusting person. But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism. You get along well with others, as long as they play fair. Neuroticism: You have medium neuroticism. You're generally cool and collected, but sometimes you do panic. Little worries or problems can consume you, draining your energy. Your life is pretty smooth, but there's a few emotional bumps you'd like to get rid of. Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is low. You're a pretty conservative person, and you favor what's socially acceptable. You think that change for novelty's sake is a very bad idea. While some may see this as boring, many see you as dependable and wise. |

I'm quite sure my total lifespan has been decreased in the last 2 months. Inhaling Paint fumes,lacquer fumes and worst or all seconday Smoking. Paint and lacquer can't be helped but SMOKING? and its not like they do it outside,they just smoke as and when they like anywhere. Irrtating Yes. I mean if u want to kill yourself Go Ahead, Why drag me along? Maybe thats why their workers, cause i know their bosses don't smoke. GRRR.
God, please don't let me get cancer or some brain tumour. I want a normal life.
Oh and if it interests any of u my mum just told me this."Before u were born Rev Russell Sage prophesied over u n said u were very special, later Auntie Caroline also gave a word from the Lord that u were special n that u would take a track n a path different from your siblings."
If u ask me, COOL... haha

A little somthing i happened to chance upon.
"Every minute of his life since then has been marked by her absence, every action has lacked dimension because she is not there to measure against. And when I was young I didn't understand, but now, I know, how absence can be present, like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird."

However, what i have decided is that i'll most probably retake again regardless of what Richard says. Its my life, i should be in control. All for now.

Well, i wanted to add an entry last night but i was too tired. I fell asleep after the first Sentence but anyway yesterday was quite alright i guess, NDP celebrations were a blast following which i went down to Marina with the guys for a while before going to CGH(Changi General Hospital) where i kinda spent an entire afternoon in the basement at the Medical Records Office.(For the record, they are not slow,i was just waiting for someone). Than i went to suntec to watch 'The Lake House' the house is rather nice i guess but the storyline..... Now i know why the bad ratings.
Oh and these few days i've not really been myself i guess, I came to the realisation just now when i kinda found myself easily annoyed by small issues and i guess i've not been able to keep my cool and i tend to flare up for the smallest reasons. Pray for me people. I need God's hands to surround and control me. I feel so not myself these days.
End of the line i guess. End of the line.

My God is an AWESOME God.
When i was down He picked me up, When i was weary He carried me, When i was alone He stayed beside me and When i cried He comforted me.
Was talking to Dan just now and well, i kinda wanted to comfort him but yet i comforted myself. I always use these 2 verses but in times of trouble u tend to forget. But talking to him made me remember them and well i'm contented i guess. Life may throw shit at u. But just remember, its all part of His plan.The Lord says"I know the Plans i have for you, Plans to prosper and not to harm you". Plans that were made even before we were born. And well "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,Says the Lord"- Isiah 55:8
Dear Lord, I thank You for being in my life.=)

Day 19 ( its over)..
Well. for one Thanksgiving was quite alrite,After that was CIP. Did some flag day for Teen Challenge. I spent 4 whole hours standing at the overhead bridge before Suntec. Thank You to whoever happens to read and also gave me a donation( i was the Geylang Methodist Guy.) and i think i found a new passion. haha funny as it may seems i guess maybe its God trying to speak to me and i did feel so good although tired that i was helping others.

Day 18.
Ok. Tomorrows the 82th Thanksgiving & Prize Prensentation of the school. Had initial doubts about whether to go anot (due to certain issues.) but i say as of now i will be going to give my support and greatest applause to a certain someone. Not that it'll mean anything but i guess i should be happy in someones joyous occasion, Its not everyday u get awarded such awards. Really envy those getting EPA btw. it was my dream. But squashed prematurely due to some issue which i shall not mention here cause lets just say i'm not going down without a fight.
Time flies,in the blink of an eye its now August.I am like this close to O levels. Crap. i'm trepidated.
God Save me.
Oh.One more thing. I think i'm in Love again.... With Ovaltine Biscuits. HEh.
PS.Keep my blog running, leave a tag to donate some form of encouragement to keep this blog going. Haha.

Day 16.
My home looks rather nicer now than it used to be. Some stuff yet to arrive but significant change has taken place.No pictures yet unfortuantly cause i'm waiting for more stuff to be done before i take more pics.
Sometimes i wonder what it takes to get forgiveness, i mean is it really that much to ask for from someone? Care to fill me in anyone? (Its just a thought btw. not refering to anyone in particular.)
Friends Friends.. the ones u should listen to especially good friends for they might be able to see what u do not see.Don't learn the hard way.
This entry is so monotonous. Don't know why but i'm not in the entry mood. TAG ME pple.

Day 15...
Dear Lord. I need strength, I'm so weary and exhausted.Help me have the concentration to study for the impending Prelims and O's.
- In you, LORD, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your justice deliver me;
- incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me! Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to save me.
- You are my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead and guide me.
- Free me from the net they have set for me, for you are my refuge.
- Into your hands I commend my spirit; you will redeem me, LORD, faithful God.
- You hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD.
- I will rejoice and be glad in your love, once you have seen my misery, observed my distress.
- You will not abandon me into enemy hands, but will set my feet in a free and open space.
- Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in distress; with grief my eyes are wasted, my soul and body spent.
- My life is worn out by sorrow, my years by sighing. My strength fails in affliction; my bones are consumed.
- Heal me O Lord and i commit these prayers into Your hands.
