Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Why can't people rationalise that in order to be good (in a musical instrument), you will have to practise? And I mean tons and tons of practices? You can't expect to come down twice a week, practising for 5 hours weekly and expect yourself to be some expert can you? It's only 5 blardy hours and you can't do it? Ask you to study a full solid 5 hours and you are willing? What kind of logic is this? Because your A level counts more? Wake up and look around you. Are any of the certificates you get gonna help you secure a job? A iron ricebowl? Nothing is guaranteed nowadays. If you think your studies are your only focus, then good for you. But remember, once in the working battlefield, that certificate is
NOT going to help you at all. What you will need are the lifeskills that you have gained from whatever environment you have gotten yourself into. If you can't even cope with this kind of management and may I say a very tolerant one, how the heck are you going to survive? There are people in this world who stops at nothing to sabotage you. So what you going to do if you fed up with him? Quit your job? Now there, you know you cannot. Because your family depend on you to bring back the additional income. Would you now blame him for your precadiment or would you do something to change for the better? What if you turned to be that kind of people that most of us detest? Isn't that more sad? As though you haven't learnt anything from school, other than the paper chase. I'm not saying I'm perfect. I'm just trying to say that there's more to life other than STUDIES. Your life doesn't just have studies. You committed yourself into something, then blardy hell, give your committment! It's only 5 hours a week of your life, would you die without studying?What for you stay what you can't even be bothered? Just because of that PEARLS? Come on, it's only 5% of your entry points. Your studies gonna contribute 80%. What don't you just concentrate on that? Opportunity cost you know. Might as well waste away that 5% and give your best for that 80%. I'm sure you did well in your PW, bet you slogged it through for that 10%. CCA is only 5%. Give it up why don't you, hmm?
We might be better off without you committment-less people. Just because you don't like it, you don't do it. Grow up kids.

A week since I've last blogged.
Woah. Long time never like that liao..
Had quite a number of events happened this past week.
Watched Constantine the 12th. Enjoyed the show tremendously, though it is rather blasphemy. That mortals are just the playthings of God and the devil.. Understood most of part of the show, which is a success since I'd to decipher Keanu Reeves' mumbling. And the speakers weren't exactly blasting with his voice. Sound systems can be improved.. -grumbles- Adding salt to the wound, there aren't any subtitles around. Wth! Aiyes.. Anyone can explain to me why Gabriel wanna release the Son of Devil? He was on this tirade about being worthy of God's love and what's not. Couldn't make sense of what he is talking. ...
Valentine's Day came and gone. Got flowers from the guys. Haha, so sweet of them. 2 guys to be burdened with the price of 23 roses. Sympathised them a lot sia, at least that time in NJ, there were 10 odd of them to share the cost. =P Now looking at this another part of them, must learn how to appreciate them more. Hehs. And thanks guys for all the sweets and notes. =) Met up with the gang later, was at the verge of being pissed off by them (haven't I always..) because they just couldn't decide on a place to go for dinner. Sighs, the pains of living so far from each other. In the end, settled on Suntec. Wanted to go Kenny Rogers to have their cheesy macroroni but then it was a long long queue lar. So we just went food hunting and looked for some sort of restaurant which had no semblance to a foodcourt. Went to this noodle bar, which has some quite (indeed) delicious food. Chatted around some, catching up, silently wonder how long more will we meet again.. Parting was always bittersweet. -sighs-
Economics test came and gone. but it wasn't any of my concern. but hope you guys did all rights!
Then came the all important SAJC'05 funfair! Preparation was hectic sia. Believed that the publicity group put in the most hours! Thank you guys! Without your, I don't think we'll be this successful. =) We were SOLD OUT! muhahahaha! Couldn't believe that sia, I was worrying around 12 odd 1 plus that we couldn't. Because the rate at we were selling wasn't very promising. In the end, it was proven wrong..! Really must thank those who went around asking, and then got sunburnt in the process. -pats my poor fellow hobbit, Liqi- Your really put in a lot of effort in this stall sia. Though selling stuff was fun, seeing people having fun at your school's funfair was encouraging, but nothing beats the sight of your principal getting dunked right in front of your eyes. Add that to the cheering of the entire crowd there, you'll get a hell of a havoc sia. Stefanie Sun came at around 4.30pm, just when the funfair was about to end. Couldn't believe the crowd that flocked, or should I say, rushed towards her. They were just crowding around the GO and snapping their cameras away, for that precious few seconds that they could get a glimpse of her. Nothing much went on, she played a game, caught it successfully. Was sent up to the balcony where she greeted everyone. Sang the college song, which she couldn't remember at all. Waved and left. Wow.. She was barely in the school compound for half an hour I think.
Sure is fun being in a school with such prominent alumnis. Bet she wouldn't turn up for the alumni dinner in September. Haha.
On a sidenote, please don't come breathing fire for not telling your that she's coming. It was only announced about half an hour before her arrival. I don't think anyone could have enough time to breakaway from your activity and chionged your way here to SA. At most I will developed photos that my friends took of her can? As some sort of compensation? I hope..

Spent the last 3 days coming back home after 7 pm. So screwed lar. Wanted to spend time doing homework (ain't that always the case? hmm?) but nah, went out with friends till the wee hours of the night. -.-;; No one to blame but myself. Valentine's Day gifts are a tad hastily chose, hope you guys don't mind. Just something small to show my appreciation for you and to get into the celebrative mood - which is like everyone's in now. Haha. Thank goodness there's only biology tutorial tomorrow and I've done what needs to be done.
-sighs- sometimes I don't really know if chain letters/messages can be believed not. No wonder my love life has been in a drought - it's been in a drought for all my life anyway. Lols. I don't care, not sending it, waste my messages also. This kind of thing.. not for me to decide also. Time will tell. Jia, you are right, I'm not that kind of person who will can be alone for a long time. Wonder if that's a good thing or a bad thing.. Seriously..

Read shan's entry, struck a chord within me. Really can't understand how people can actually live alone, not needing someone there to lean on, to fall on. Call me naive, call me blessed, I really can't see how one doesn't need anybody. I've tried once, when I was pretty young, to be as isolated as I could be. I could have friends but that does not mean I must be close to them. But alas, life proved me wrong. I need them - to show me their neediness for me, as well as mine for them. I'm selfish. I like them to give me their upmost, like I would give them. -shrugs- That never was the case. So life moves on, more and more people come into my life, enriching it. Met new friends, who have the same need. The old was not forgotten, yet we don't clung to each other anymore. There is this unexplainable sense of loss. I ache for it. Truly. Not that I don't want to keep in touch with them, but circumstances don't allow us to meet. I hardly do things without a reason - so please understand if I don't come find you. It's just that I'm afraid if we are to meet up and yet we don't have anything to talk about. Then there's these fake sense of chirpy-ness and awkwardness which I utterly hate. I rather we come together on some official gathering and really sit down and talk, and not some short sit-downs where we revolve around the same old topics for the past few times. What for? However, if we are consistently meeting up with each other, then that's another matter.
I seriously wonder how one can be a Christian when he's doubting what God has to offer, or for the matter, who God is but yet, bring people to salvation, or at least introduced them to Christianity. Maybe that's why he isn't baptised, 'cause he isn't ready. Maybe it's because he knows too much, read too much literature, showing all the different viewpoints. And maybe that's the reason why God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat the Forbidden Fruit. Yes, it will give them the power of knowledge, but yet, gives them the tendency to sin. We are thus by default pushed away from Him - a fact that saddens Him a whole lot more.

I'm sorry if you have taken offence by the entry, Del. But I think I did not generalise that ALL poly students are like that, for not doing their research aptly. And I certainly do not think that being a JC student is very much better off than a poly student (lest you are thinking of that..). It is my fault that I did not specifically state that it's that GROUP who presented that I was mad with. My apologies. I don't know how you got to my blog, (as it is a private one, because those who don't know me or the address wouldn't be here. Blogspot cannot be password-coded.) but I appreciated your comments. Thank you.
It's a new year ahead, hope you will put this behind you.

Hanged out with Kenneth today. Had a pretty wild time - not in terms of activities but conversations. Hahaha. Really enjoyed myself. His anecdotes.. hmm.. Haha.
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YITSHAN~!!! didn't realized that you have already know Favian, (Yeah, I know the reason why..) doubt he remembers me anyway. Heh.
Porn mangas rampant in Singapore? What the hell.. Those people from Ngee Ann don't do their homework izzit? Randomly picked some manga and they contain porn? In Kinokuniya? Please, kino books are mostly wrapped, are you sure you OPEN it up huh?! Bet you just picked up the magazines by the stand. Hello~!!! Wake up will ya? It's like in Japanese lar, how many Singaporeans can actually speak Japanese fluently? Let alone reading and understanding their slang? As if people will buy something they can't understand at all other than obscene pictures? yeah, maybe pervertic people like you. If you have really done your research WELL, you will know there is not a single truth in that thing you call a conclusion. And how do you define porn anyway? A little display of breasts or butt? Thighs perhaps? -shakes head- I can only say you are too innocent, or perhaps too conservative. Aren't you like seeing all these in reality already? I mean like JC students are already shortening their skirt lengths as much as possible. What about poly? I don't believe they wrapped themselves up lor.
Bunch of idiots..

Whenever and ever I ranted about someone, that someone will be nice to me. Doesn't matter if they knew or not I'd ranted about them. It makes me horribly guilty. It's only especially so when they don't know about it. Gah.. Maybe God is trying to tell me something about it..
Lost my wallet today.
But got it back again!
Blessed is the person who had returned it to the General Office.
Blessed are the people who kept this in their prayers.
Thank God. Amen.
