holidays are slack.

been up to nothing good these days. neither anything bad hahaha. cos it gets kinda bored when holidays are overwhelming. i just got my gpa 3.71. its cooly average hahaha.  aim here. 3.8 next sem! everyone jian zhen ok!

scholarship or not has been a headache.  look at the benefits

• 800 monthly allowance
• tuition fees + compulsory charges covered
• 1200 bonus if pass all modules in one sitting each exam

quite cool isn’t it. 5 year bond inclusive National Service. oh well, just sit on it i guess.

haha hi all. its been long since i came here. and i expect it to be nicely untouched till like the next decade. haha. isn’t it pathetic that no one actually reads this?

well anyway i realised Point of Grace is such a awesome, blowing band. Inspiring lyrics, unpaired vocals. Just makes all the females in the world sound much better. LOL. i felt that way ok! Its such a girl-power album!  Most of them are mothers already hahahahah.

Broken Thing (Point of Grace)

I tried to walk quickly past the water's edge
Didn't wanna see my own reflection
But I just stepped on the highest ledge
And fell into the sea of imperfection
Just like every other time before
I washed up in pieces on the shore

CHORUS
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
Yeah I was wading in deep despair
Wandering with no sense of direction
Thinking prayers just vanished in the air
'Cause I got myself in this situation
And just like every other time before

You made the pieces into so much more
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
I know I'm not worthy of
This never ending perfect love
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing

beautiful right!!!!!!!!

I just felt free-er than free. Now that exams are over and i’m feeling quite darn uncomfortable about it. Even school days are counted as too much free time. I will never ever want to experience even the deja vu of the 6 months holidays i had ONLY A FEW MONTHS BACK. For goodness’ sake! I just started school and i had like 7 weeks holidays now with a 2-week holidays 2 months back!

maybe u think i’m asking for trouble. I’ll tell you that you are spot on. haha. would love to be busy. can’t you imagine being 17 and have nothing to do?????? whilst all your friends are busy with junior colleges and your own poly mates just don’t seem quite click.

i need some kick

in my schedule hahah! bring on CDS bring it on. BRING THEM ALL ON! HAHAH.

its just stupid wednesdays

 

 

haha. i’m just too bored not to play around with my chomnia. there’s practically nothing to do on wednesday afternoons. finish school at 12.20 and leaving me alone to storm the boredom till, cca starts, in the cold TP library which seems like a terrible place to be in except in exam periods.

AND THEN CYNTHIA CALLED AND SAID TRAINING IS SOOOOO CANCELLED. that ain’t cool, is it.

at least i did something on my engineering maths. haha. if i get 100% again for the upcoming test, i’ll only need to score 62.5/100 for exam to secure GPA 4.0 of the subject. WOOOOOO. Thank God in advance for that yea babe.

oh wells. haha. silver lining here. here comes my favourite thursday! :)

maybe i’ll just need something new.. ok i need something new

crazy these days. i mean crazily boring.

in the past i thought poly would be full of life and happenings. i’ve seen people getting busily busy through their time in poly but that’s not the case of mine. well i don’t exactly know what’s wrong with me or am i courting trouble. here is a guy who’s complaining his life is too free. haha. you don’t see that often do you.

somehow i guess there’s a lack of activities for me. oh yea? here is it

schedule’s here.  mon and tuesday school till 5.                            wednesday-fri school end at 1                                                                        saturday rest   sunday fully reserved for a good cause

so now i practically have 37 hours of free time on weekdays. assume i sleep very early at 10pm every night. well if lunch time and travelling time were to be excluded,its still 32 hours of rest and relax.

ok ok. maybe when CDS kicks in next term, hopefully i would be a sufficiently busy.

for the time being i might just have to think of something productive to make the time good. previously i whined about the 5 months holidays after O’s. now i’m whining about being too free. haha. when will hg ever shut up?

just too much energy to burn babe.

haha. no one ever visit here. cool.

he has forgotten how many times he has passed through the city areas in shorts and oversized red screaming slippers. LOL. never mind. he's just being ordinarily ordinary. that's he's attitude problem.

got a new phone. haha. named it chomnia. cos its omnia made from china MUAHAHAHA. (laugh la...-.-) kinda weird lol. it actually has a stylus and an antenna for television and radio. haha so cheapo. all in one.

so i guess INDESCRIBABLE is indeed indescribable. everyone had their fair share of learning and fun in the camp. right now i'm still feeling the after effects of the camp. seriously its really really bad i can't go yyb this sunday. :( to think that God is actually not only the creator of the heavens and the earth......and the land beneath earth(!)..., he's actually a star breather. how cool is that. new stars are formed every now and then.. poor creatues called human beings are finding it cool to even try to catch up with Him.

haha. i thought chris tomlin is outdated already. i didn't even bother to have his slightly older songs in my mp3 hahah. i'm just so sorry about that.

oh man, the camp is just great.

so i guess what i feared the most actually came to past, C clashes with practice. sorry i just gotta pen this down because i lost quite a few strands of hair because of it.

when it comes to this kind of situation, i think i could look no further to Abba. people often often will advise to ask Abba of His will for me in such situations. but then i came to a point whereby i realise being either in C or practice would not deter the way He views me, nor feels about me. i firmly firmly believe in both ways i would be greatly blessed

²⁸ And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. [romans 8:28]

so if God, according to verse 28, would cause EVERYTHING to work together, why the headache, just go ahead of what you feel like it la! i feel thats quite chim to answer. so i turned to the fundamental questions of why C would be such enticing to me.

i asked why. cos C promises a good ground to build the fragile body of mine, brings great fun to polo in a whole different way and also would be a source of SEAL points for my university admin. anyway, i think its the SEAL points that is the reason why i was searching for a activity like C in the very first place. if SEAL points were dirt, no one would ever want to waste time accquiring them.

So if the purpose of going to C were to aquire SEAL points just for my uni admission, wouldn't i be doubting verse 28? if God will send me to uni, he will cause everything to work together to get me there! if he created the heavens and the earth with just a breadth, whats a uni admission in a tiny red dot to Him? is His auhority too small to do that? i know it sounds absurb, which anyway would be a norm for such God-logic.

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. [jeremiah 29:11, New american standard]

so like a light unto my path, i'm supposed not to be planning my route like the others did to thiers, but to stay in my calling, work on my raw talent(haha), use it for his glory. anyway, this is a perfect chance to experience what's really like to live by faith.

so i'm done with why i chose not to commit my time to C. i'm moving on why i chose practice over C. its a little shorter. haha.

God and his people in practice has showed great commitment in me(as i have in them), as clearly shown in the past few months, i definitly would name drumming the last to lose if i were to keep only one ability.

let's look what mary has done.

³⁸ As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. ³⁹ Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. ⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”

⁴¹ But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! ⁴² There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Here, don't i wanna be/do what Mary has been/done? Mary knows what to let go, what to embrace in her life, that is Jesus, and have pleased God by doing so. God does care about how well i do in poly, but none weighs as much as the love i have for the Lord, in this i believe, God holds the love i have higher than the need for the Seal points.

When He created the heavens and the earth, didn't he meant it for me to enjoy? Did He have to ask me whether i want it or not? No. If He wills me to go uni, nothing except me can stop it. If He wills not, nothing except me can make me go.

At most, let the passion for C be an alabaster jar, which i break before your feet. At most, let my time in practice be your 5 loaves 2 fishes, use it to bless others, which i would be honoured to be part of. MUACKS.

welcome to effcom. this irritating subject which preaches heavily on the correct usage of standard english. look at this. now i know why is this lesson only available online, cos there's no teacher who can speak the way they expect the students to do so, for what i know so far.




WOW. AEROSPACE ENGINEERING.

i'm happy that i bought today's New Paper. haha. here are some weird news that filled my thoughts.

facebook group, of 400 people, named 'Singapore sucks!' .  was kind of taken aback when i read this. it is a 'thread that urges members to use the site to bent their frustrations about singapore and singaporeans.' as written. i did only a glance on the 2-page article because i was tired. its basically bad remarks on singaporeans' attitude in the corporate world and how 'low-class' singaporeans are in terms of conducting themselves. its actually an Aussie who was quoted in the article. another part of it was just ranting how singlish...is singlish. the aussie just couldn't stand the dialects. i just felt that she was a little to harsh on what she wrote in the thread. everyone knows singapore is just 40 years independent with world war 2 still freshly haunting the oldies at times. the 60's and 70's were the ones who braved through the recovery process, the 30's and 40's were the ones who could, technically, start to enjoy this thing called Education even if its not as established as now. so by far, not being able to speak English like it was supposed to be is fairly natural, forget about PCK. next article please.! 

'Mum dies in fire searching for son'   title speaks it all. i wonder how the son felt.

here comes the interesting ones. 

'shot in the head, then she makes tea'

ok ok. Dr Patrick Pritchard ' There is a space in the brain where a a missile could pass without doing any major damage. 

'SHOT IN THE CHEST, BRA STOPS BULLET'

title is interesting enough. not only stops the bullet, it was deflected off! buy underwire.

'shot pierces helmet but misses head'

lazy to write

HEY YO DO YA MISS ME. haha

i've been missing for a month and seriously have no idea of where to start haha.

anyway the coolest current thing in life is Gmax @ clarke quay..serious!! the ride was absolutely fantastico! =D

met my class of aerospace engineers (like finally after 3 months of whining..holidays are a torture) and cooly we are the manly manly class hahaha. all the girls in this photos are not in this class. LOL. 

i mean life is so much fun this one month. i seriously learnt a lot of things. :)

so here is the video of my gmax experience. haha. i didn't expect to take the ride cos its someone else birthday present.

it seems that almost everyone is moving on rather happily onto their junior colleges and i’m glad for them. haha. these people are really getting my salute for opting to brave ‘A’ levels which honestly, i didn’t want to.

well i guess in the meanwhile its quite boring to wait for poly admission. but i guess everything is going to be alright once tertiary education(so they call) starts. then, a thought came to me. i thought ‘tertiary’ sounds cool eh. haha. because the word ‘tertiary’ is so broad that universities like NUS , NTU also uses the term, it makes me feel grown up and ripe. haha. in other words, i’m practically a step closer to working already. as a pilot or not-hopefully other jobs or whatever, the sense of reality hits me quite. to think that it was only last year i cleared my secondary school education, i’m already starting to studying what is fundamentally going to shape whatever type of career i’m embarking on when move on. which means, i can’t go far from Aerospace Engineering, neither its plausible to study other stuff in university. haha. THE WORLD IS SO REAL IN ALL OF THE SUDDEN.

gone are the days whereby everyone is still wearing the same uniform, obeying the lame rules and slacking around after classes. i realised once i leave school,  complexity tends to make itself evident in daily life.

personally i’m quite eng when i’m studying in cchms other than exam periods. whereas right now, i feel like as though i’m not on any holidays at all. i’m actually relatively busy helping out either my dad or mum. haha. its sometimes laughable to think its granted since i’m the firstborn of my family. of course, much is expected. haha. but please… i’m not minding the large responsibility i’m having now.

the world is indeed so diverse and its sad to say i’m a bit slow to understand it. there are 101 ways to getting a degree and even more to make a decent and comfortable living without one. perhaps the more relaxed ones are of course, getting a job with a degree related to it, otherwise, the piece of paper is useless.

i think learnt quite a bit throughout the holidays quite unknowingly. well at least i know it by now.

HELLOOO!

  PLANETSHAKERS. so i went for their concert at COS. at first no one was sure if the actual team is down, but i knew even if its the second team i’ll be greatly satisfied already. then when everyone settled down in the room/hall, i see the them lurking behind the screen. though their faces can’t be seen, the sight of their bodies under the screen made me sooo tensed. so when the team FIANLLY take their position, i saw HENRY SEELEY AND I INSTANTLY TURNED OVER TO LUKE AND SQUICKED,

’ ITS THE REEEAAL TEAM’

haha. who cares about embarrassing themselves in front of the REAL PLANETSHAKERS. its those who are so dignified/oblivious-to-the-band to get some life. hahaha. 

then the team kicked of with ALL FOR LOVE. which i gladly came prepared how to shout/sing/croak. man i was so into this concert that i lost my voice only into the 3rd song. haha. i was sweating like i ran the whole day under the 500 degree celcius sun. 

then after the cool concert, everyone left as if they got some really really really important stuff going on. i was REALLY STUNNED. how many times per decade can you actually be 10m within the Planetshakers team? haha. i was waiting for this moment for years believe it or not. 

PROUDLY PRESENT TO YOU HENRY SEELEY WHOM I GREATLY DEARLY REALLY SUPERLY NIGHTLY ADMIRED FOR YEARS. OK I KNOW EVERYONE’S SWEATING..WHO DOESN’T GETTING UTTERLY MESSD UP IN A PLANETSHAKERS CONCERT? that’s the good point about it.

disturbia

derob.
yea, that’s bored spelt upside down. i’m so irritated by holidays. its too lengthy. everyday is such typical. either i get awaken by my dad at 8.00am to be told to do housework A-B-C-D-E-F or i would be awaken by my dog, barking at whoever who walks out of the lift.

great now jc start. 75% of my soccer buddies are gone.  90% of my gaming buddies said they quit. how left out i am. the walls in my room are definitely not great companions.  same goes to this graphic card-less computer which i try to squeeze something out of.

well how about guitar? oh wells, i played through every song i could in my 8gb worth of songs on my playlist.  emoo emoo. haha.

tv? no least interested at it. even the free football channel starhub accidentally gave us are not entertaining. cos i’m so in the news already.

how about shopping? well i covered most of the island during the christmas/cny period. no point burning my pocket deeper. even so, my shopping buddy is in jc now. ZARA is always great but not when i’m alone.

dude, find a job? no luck. haix.

and i don’t know what’s happening now.

I’ve been robbed part of my jamming time on thursday and now my precious precious sunday with impact youth is gone too. all thanks to the fridge that sooo happened sooo happened it could only be changed on sunday and not other days.. WHY WHY WHY. I NEED HUMAN I-N-T-E-R-A-C-T-I-O-N.  very very very badly.

HELLLO. WATCHING UNDERWORLD ANYONE? 
waves madly*****************

yea i’m so so excited about poly. which makes this worse. cos the waiting time is such annoying.

WJOOOOOO. i suddenly fall in love with drums again! truly thanks to cobus!

lol. dun skip this. just watch plzzzz. haha. JB is a throw away band la. but just see he turns it all over.
