Sermon today was interesting!
As usual started off with an encounter/worship.
Really great and thinking back I see that the set chosen is a great lead-in to the sermon shared today. "Free", "Our God Is Love", "How He Loves".

According to C.S. Lewis, there are four kinds of love in this world. Phileo, storge, eros and agape. Phileo is the love between friends, storge is of that between parent and child, eros referring to romantic love and finally agape which is unconditional love.

Shall be a tumblr user and quote this from DI blog.
Throughout the sermon one song was in my head that is relevant to what is shared.
"Found love beyond all reason, You gave Your life Your all for me."
Its really amazing how we have this everlasting, unconditional, unfathomable love.
Meaningful message and a video was shared! But we were only able to catch like the first 2 min of the video as it couldn't be buffered.
And no it wasn't "Passion of the Christ"
That video has been seen alot of times and no matter how many times I've seen it, it never fails to make me depressed because of what Jesus went through...
Shall watch the video later after i finish this post.
The video (really well done animation by the way) is on the perspective of a robber who was also crucified along with Jesus.




Had an activity for cell. How to be a great listener!
Motives are how to enhance cell life and equip us for evangelism.
Another great and meaningful information shared today.



my first ever KOI

Woohoo tried my first ever KOI of my existence.
The cashier taking my order was so cool.
The way he keys in orders is totally =O
Super fast and cool.
He does it with the motion akin to a bass player using the slap technique.
Bought the medium ice-cream flavoured milk tea and....
it was nice!
But not to my first expectation of KOI...
I perceived it to be like the king of milk teas...
then again it could be because i didn't stir my milk tea properly and I only tasted ice cream only at the end.


Twinings Tea! (random picture of super nice tea I bought while waiting for KOI)

Played monodeal (again) until 10.30pm.
I'm starting to detest monodeal...
not because I haven't won a single match but...
I don't know...it instills hatred especially when your friends take away all your property and money LOL.

K shall watch the video now.

Today marks the very last day of hockey...
PJ vs MI!
And this match was very very intense.
Probably the most exciting match ever!
The team played really well today.
Played for their pride and all and gave it their best.
Throughout the match I was thinking,
"Wow if they played like that throughout A Div they might have won ACJC or at least draw with them"
Really exicting match!
Although the score was 0-0,
I'm pretty sure there were no regrets.

Some highlights...
Byron getting a yellowcard for some stupid reason,
mostly everyone being on rage mode and playing their best
many shortcorners given to MI but PJ was able to defend well
PJ had many near goals as well!

probably dont think there will be another time i'm gonna pick up my hockey stick again

Me and my fascination of things that glow!

lumed watch
source: wikipedia

This is super cool and I would love to have one of these lumed watches!
Cheapest lume watches are like 100 dollars but then of course it isn't as nice as those expensive ones from Luminox or Ball.
In fact Ball watches are super nice! The way they use the glass vials are really creative!


some old picture of my glow in the dark pick with Elixir strings in background

too cool too cool

In fact I want to make some modifications on my bike...
I want to make my bike night-friendly (is there even such a word?) by illuminating the controls.
If cars/motorcycles have illuminated dashboards why can't bikes have them?
Sadly I tried to search but couldn't find bike controls that have light, nor can I find any computer that has an infinite background lighting.
It's so difficult to check what gear/speed I'm on at night!
I can choose to lume (permanent glow) my controls or install LED lights within the controls.
Problem is the cost and how I should go about fixing/water proofing the power source if i use LEDs.
Alright enough of the glow stuff.

What a wonderful feeling!
There's going to be 3 consecutive weeks with a long weekend, of which 1 has already passed.
But argh the next two holidays are on Mondays.
NOOOOO!

Sunday 24 April 2011

i have struck gold!! literally!!

Yeah the things I do when I get bored.
I spent a good 45 min doing this and I was surprised!
From the picture the gold isn't that clear but yeah its really gold! Electroplated gold perhaps.
I never thought I would actually see gold on the badge...
which brings forth a question...
What happened to the metal/chrome surface?
Anyway the golden badge is so COOL!

Been thinking alot on worship lately.
In face yesterday i took out my acoustic guitar after months of not playing?
And ouch after like 10 minutes of playing my fingers start to hurt.
That's what I get for not touching the acoustic for a long time!
My fingers no longer have calluses or I would like to call "armour".
I should not focus only on the electric heh.
Jammed mostly worship songs and it feels great!
(with a couple of non-worship songs for the lulz, wanted to learn More than Words cause justin has been playing it)
Kind of adopting the half-step down tuning that justin and zhi have been using...it helps me reach keys easier!

Whilst worshipping I was reminded of something that happened in school awhile back.
So John wanted to test the thing about iPhones having only one speaker (yeah only one despite seeing two of them) and he opened my iPod and played a song.
It started playing my worship playlist cause I always listen to my worship playlist on my way to school.

John: "wa why all worship songs one? bloody worshipper!"

When I heard it I was like what?! It is wrong to worship?
In fact we should worship and sing praises everyday. Don't tell me you worship only on Saturdays and Sundays and for the rest of the week you don't? But of course I didn't say anything when he said that I just gave him a look which may have looked something like this :O
I guess this is one of the many differences of a Catholic?
I don't know...
most of the catholics i meet are a bad example...
vulgarities free flow...
small sins don't matter cause they are small...

On a side note I also remembered a crazy dream I had when I was in Kranji.
Guess I remembered it when I ate dinner at Astons with Justin, Bynes and Elissa today and saw my plate heh.
Goes something like this, and it's really absurd.
I was standing on the balcony of the school hall overlooking the school field.
People were playing frisbee with...wait for it......plates.
yeah those plates you use for eating

SMASH
source : fourwallsnolimit

Heard alot of plates smashing and flying and what not.
Of course I realised it was a dream and woke up lol-ing

Saturday 23 April 2011
how sweet the sound!

today's amazingrace!
at botanic gardens!
which is a beautiful place.
like seriously.
its my first time there
(yeah deprived childhood lol)
and whoa is it huge!
i thought it was like a normal park but noooo

HIGHTLIGHTS
learnt more about easter through the games.
games were like amazing race styled where you have to run.
and i realised my group spent most of the time running.
we had to run back and forth botanic gardens....
like three times!
what a great PT session but of course this isn't the main point of this event hahah.

sundial....dreams?
had this station where you had to solve this mystery.
having to do with this sundial.
ah but the solution is only revealed next week.
quite a smart tactic!


swan lake
at this point i was sweating like non-stop.
indeed i didn't anticipate that much running!
i guess i should have worn a dry-fit shirt and running shoes.
ah but wait i dont have running shoes...not anymore.
my last one got so badly worn out i dont think its usable anymore.

I think Kairos was the most gung-ho group?!
Only groups who ran i think.
and yup we won the 1st and 2nd positions.
YEAH!

Learnt something great today at Justin's station.
Goes something like this,
the gospels have 5 colours.
Green Black Red White and Yellow.
Cant remember the exact phrasing...
Green represents when we were conceived on earth
Black when we were first tainted with sin
Red when Jesus shed his blood for our sins
White when we are now clean
Yellow represents heaven (streets made of gold)

map of amazingrace
Gotta give credit to Bynes.
saw him making the map and whoa.
his skills are good!
it looks super nice right!

ended at around 6pm.
ate food cooked by Eunice! (and its really nice!)
then as usual for every DI event i brought my frisbee.
played ultimate frisbee in botanic gardens.
at first there was confusion cause it was hard to distinguish team players.
in the end great game played by the teams!

overall great day!
very meaningful and educational!

Friday 22 April 2011
its good friday!!
had a good (approximate) 10 hours of sleep!
felt really refreshed as always when i have sleep more than my average 6 hours.

went to justin's house today.
monster hunter portable 3rd marathon!
and some starcraft 2 as well.

so engrossed in sc2

learnt something new today from justin.

did you know that it always rains every Good Friday at 3pm?

sure enough it did rain around 3pm.
accompanied also with lightning and dark clouds.
which reminds me of what happened on the day of cruxification.

Amazingrace tomorrow!
can't wait to see whats in store for us!
hope the weather stays good throughout the day!

Thursday 21 April 2011
argh slept earlier than intended again!
reason must have been cause i was too tired as i went gym
anyway yesterday in school we were running friday's timetable.
abit pointless if you ask me.
we will lose a day either way you run friday's timetable or not.
so i kept thinking wednesday was friday!
passed by the school cafe and i thought today had friday's offer
(some ice blended drink)

thursday!
had the friday feeling again
probably cause there's no school on friday..becauses theres Good Friday!
the day 2000 years ago when Jesus went on the journey to the cross.
the holiday is much appreciated.
but i guess in JC theres no such thing as a holiday now huh?
holidays are much more of a "you get to sleep more" period

Tuesday 19 April 2011

DIY arc reactor

so.cool.period.
i want to make my own arc reactor replica!
saw many designs on my favourite site www.instructables.com
but im lazy to hunt for materials....
and i bet the materials dont come cheap.
especially when it comes to LEDs.
if i have a replica i would....

• put it on my bike
• find a way to put it on my guitar
• put it on my bag
• use it as a nightlight

i will use it everywhere!

getting hot nowadays.
my thermometre reads 35 in the day
30 at night!
bring back the heavy rain!

was walking to the bus stop with justin,
but i didnt see where i was going.
so i stepped into a drain.
my whole shin went down the drain.
thank God I didnt sprain my already weak ankles!
who took out the drain cover?!
could cause some serious injuries to distracted -people-who-dont-look-where-they-are-going
put the drain cover back on but i realised the size of the cover is rather incompaitable with the drain itself..

Monday 18 April 2011
lazy monday today.
an interesting thing happened during lunch when i was buying noodles


SUPER FISHBALLS

honestly they look bigger in person (or is it in food?)
and i was unable to finish the noodles.
i was shocked at the size of the fishballs!
same reaction when i showed it to others o.o

PE today was nafpa test.
didnt have to take cause i really got gold hahah.
but it leaves me to think about what happened during my nafpa.
how i managed to even get a gold is amazing.
because my right ankle was sprained so i couldn't train running and jumps.
and shuttle run was horrible because my ankles were weak and my shoe had no grip at all.
the fact that i was nervous make it much more difficult to do my shuttle run.
praise the Lord that i was able to get a gold for nafpa even when i was still recovering from my sprain and did not train for the stations that require movement.
it was also on this day i found out something admirable about a person...

Sunday 17 April 2011
Overslept today and did not went for Sunday service...
I should set up multiple alarm clocks to annoy me to get out of bed =\
Anyway I had this weird dream after i snoozed my alarm clock.
I dreamt I was with DI...
then there were alot of places.
one of them honour room, some park and the rest i couldn't remember.
i cant remember exactly what we were doing either.
Could it be an insight on Amazingrace?!
Since we report at honour room first then go to Botanic Gardens.
As usual weird things happen in my dreams.
I dreamt I had this power.
Sort of like telekenesis or the Force in Star Wars.
Throughout my dream I was randomly pulling objects towards me.
COOL!
I should have figured it was a dream and woke up...
but it didn't happen.
I cant do it like Matthew Wong!

yeah the joy of pulling objects towards you

Went out to study today but...
CCK library was unusually full.
Jammed packed with students.
Everywhere!
I see they made use of the spacious space in CCK library,
and went ahead to put more tables and chairs.
Excellent.
But if economics has taught me anything is when the supply increases,
it's a short term solution to the problem of overcrowding as demand will increase.
(wait what? argh my microeconomics has become weak. time to revise)

So had to go somewhere else...
like Limbang's McDonalds.
Which is also crowded but not to that extent that you can't find spots.
Oh and it's also noisy cause apparently there's a birthday celebration there.
A somewhat productive day...

Been thinking alot on serving in a ministry...
probably cause of the deep message Justin sent me...
although Andy said I have to go through a year of discipleship to serve in worship team.
Ah I can't wait!
However NS will soon put a hold to serving for a good 1.8 years i think. sigh


cause my essay was all yellow

Saturday 16 April 2011
trying this new app i downloaded called actioncam...
and i was studying electromagnetic induction so...

i just realised the countless applications there are for this app!
making comics are one of them!

no DI today but we went down to SAC to support our brother in Christ who is getting baptised.
Yue Mun!
this is my second time witnessing a baptism and this time its different.
kind of understand more of the process and what baptism is.

on friday i went with the hockey team to watch their match against RJ,
we got badly beaten (double digit score) but i guess the team learnt alot from the match.
partly because its probably their first time againt such a strong opponent.
issac got injured (again!) but much more seriously this time.
his wrist was broken and apprently it needs support cause i saw him using a file to hold it up.
it was also blue-black suggesting internal bleeding.
RJ people are really scary!
i thought it was a stick hit but i was wrong.
apprently it was a ball hit.
yeah a ball.
a drag flick to be precise.
felt pity/remorse for him...
i think we have alot of injuries in our team...

drank coffee at 6pm today and now i cant sleep although i feel tired (argh).
kinda reminds me of the lyrics in Fix You

Thursday 14 April 2011
i guess its a matter of time before it happens.
im just gonna ignore/run away.
no point defending if its not a sincere question,
and its just trying to shoot me down.

"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse."

been raining alot this past few days.
heard PJ lost 5-0 on Monday's match.
which was seriously surprising because i expected/prayed/hoped for PJ to win.
what went wrong?
i found out that many fouls were committed and short corners were given
to the opposing team. (sort of penalty in soccer terms)
then i heard theres internal conflicts?
scoldings and lectures.
of course this isn't good.
how can a team work if theres strife within?
i hope it gets all settled before tomorrow's match.

apparently we had a principal's address on wednesday about our PW results.
and there are alot of conspiracies/theories.
first off our cut-off point for As are higher than any other JC.
whether its true or not i do not know.
but if its true, like what others say, this is indeed very biased.
shall not dwell too much into the details.

then its about our principal.
so the JC1s and Kairos students
(kairos in PJC are retainees)
attended a PW lecture where the principal addressed them.
our batch of JC2s were criticised and blamed for the PW results.
and praises were given to the JC1s.
okay maybe not so bad BUT.
during our address,
the principal said

"oh getting B is not so bad, in fact we are quite happy with the results. dont feel so bad about it"

really?
double faced?
you know what would be funny?
if (and i dont wish for this to happen) this year's JC1s get worse results then us,
i wonder what the school's reaction would be like.



side note:
i found this colour combination to be very
DISGUSTING
honestly i will try my best to not (and ever) use this combo
ever.

now that's more like it!

found this very old drawing i drew on zhi's notes last year.
"this was drawn by me?!"
was what i thought.
cool!
i took a picture of it then did some heavy photoshopping.
wanted a motion blur effect but nah.
guassian will have to do.

ever had no energy for class?
feel like its impossible to stay awake?
drifting in and out of sleep every 15s?
yeah thats what happened to me.
and this is never good.
in the short time i was in the dream realm,
i had this dream where my physics teacher was teaching about magnets.
they were piercing through walls if they are not dampened by opposing induced EMF.
(yeah i know it makes no sense, most stuff in dreams dont)
and when im back to reality, still feeling tired or what not,
i almost wanted to ask my teacher to "re-explain" what he said about my "piercing magnets".
i need to be like matthew
controlling my dreams and shooting....
FIREBALLS

Monday 11 April 2011
monday!!
so yeah i created a colour variation,
because i found this super cool sunset photo in my album.
and im getting sick of blue anyway.
i like blue but its not one of my favourite colours.
prolly spent 15 minutes making this variant.
and now my blog is all yellow? ok maybe orange too.

GP lecture again.
this time s23 stole our seats again.
i guess this is good, in a way.
the seats we ended up taking can be considered the best seats in the house.
full view of the screen!
don't have to strain your neck!
and i don't get to be distracted....
ah mdm lin was unusually fast today.
she rushed through all the slides with content.
and wasted time going through those slides with no content.

FIRE DRILL.
OK I HAVE TO MAKE MENTION OF THIS.
it was really fail like seriously.
ok but at least they tried somewhat to make it real.
like some annoucement came about saying theres a fire that broke out somewhere.
but then mdm lin when about lecturing,
telling what door/routes to take.
she ended off with
"CHOOSE YOUR DOOR CAREFULLY"
or something like that, i cant remember.
went to the field and saw....
PA systems set up.
ok definitely fake.

chemistry lecture.
AV equipment failed the lecturer.
and the air-con is not on.
so we had to carry on the lecturer without any visual aid.
super difficult.
i ended up not listening.
you its time like this where you wonder...
if economics has taught me anything,
its efficient resouce allocation.

its practical and more efficient if lets say certain resources go to investing in new AV equipment or air conditioning.

anyway i was super hyper during chem lecture.
probably due to the heat and/or the coffee i drank.
can't stop moving my legs and fanning myself.
cause to me its like super stuffy and hot.
hot enviroment slowing down my metabolism = not good.

left school at 2:30pm for hockey's 1st A div match!
i got to become a John for one day.
holding a DSLR and spamming pics.
didn't get to watch the match though,
for it was postponed to tomorrow morning due to lightning.
aw man what a bummer.

Sunday 10 April 2011
i just realised i cant stand it when certain smells stay onto something.
like how if you go into a food court or rather attend a BBQ,
your clothes retain the smell (and the oil)
or like how in the past i will bring my old laptop everytime i go out to study,
which i dont do so now cause its a big distraction,
and now that laptop's air vent has that library smell.
the library has a distinctive smell?!

on to today's service...
and a summary of it was,
"do unto others what you want others to do to you"
a meaningful message and a great reminder
although today's encounter wasn't as powerful as
what i encountered last week.
but worship had "saviour king"!
to me its a very powerful song and the lyrics really speak deeply into your heart.

had lunch at the food court again.
actually i intended to go to jurong east's library to study but...
i followed matthew and elissa to bynes' house!
and indeed i think i made the right decision cause...
my friend couldn't come study.
matthew showed alot of cool stuff on dance.
and today i found out the reason why everyone goes shuffling!
apparently its this new viral song by LMFAO,
and the introduction for the music video is just LOL.
quest crew ftw!

studied physics...
or at least attempted to.
its very hard to study with a guitar beside you.
and when a song comes out and you know how to play it,
yeah you cant study.

ate astons but noooo
they ran out of fish.
had to make do with chicken.
AND I JUST FOUND OUT THE NEW BEST DRINK OF ALL TIME.
MOCHA TIRAMISU!

hm oh no its getting late
time to stop here.

Saturday 9 April 2011
i think this is becoming a trend...
i will get super tired on wednesdays,
sleep at like 10pm,
wake up on thursdays feeling i can conquer the world
then on fridays i will feel like
"WOOHOO ITS FRIDAY"
(tempted to sing rebecca black's song hahah)
and at the end of a friday i will feel dead again

argh my laptop's keyboard is faulty!
after one year of use!
the 1 2 3 4 numbers dont work correctly
and that also means i cant use ! @ # $ sometimes
i have to search facebook/twitter for people who use !@#$/1234
if my keyboard decides to fail =\

got back my PW results on friday
and honestly i was really expecting an A grade
because my group can be considered like the best in my examination room
with all the external moderators and teachers filling the back row
and all our hard work we put in
OP stuff
but in the end i got a B.
what's more shocking is,
Guan Quan and Yong Shin got a C.
"the group leader got a B?! seriously?!"
perhaps their individual assessment was not good.
then again, why was our maximum grade B?!
i heard that PJ only had about 37 people getting As.
that's roughly 5% of the cohort.
falling behind national averages of 55%.
really?
i guess i shouldn't complain and be satisified with what i have.
a B isn't really that bad,
despite all the hard work we put in.

a very enthu team talk at the end of training on friday
friday's training saw some heated arguments where people were shouting
this is really bad as a team has to be bonded in order to do well
A divisions on monday and i really pray/hope that PJ will be able to WIN

today's sermon was on the project that DI is about to embark during june
i think its called LOVE BEYOND
compassion!
signed for the house painting project.
there's the thailand mission but i doubt i can go.
there's also the BB camp but i doubt i can go also!
june holidays for J2 students ain't the same anymore.

had dinner at the food court and a 3 hour monopoly deal session.
omo i can see why there's the craze of monopoly deal.
its fun!!
but i keep losing.
its my 2nd time playing and some rules i dont remember/understand.
yeah but playing for 3 hours i don't really feel like touching the game anymore.
maybe not until next week heh

and yes! We the Kings (my all time favourite band) just released
their new single from their upcoming album
"Friday is Forever"
not to be confused with Rebecca Black's Friday!
Friday Is Forever (acoustic version) afterall did came out before RB's Friday did.
the song rocks and the song has the same style WTK had for their first album.
very catchy tune and the songs are very "sing-a-long" style.
i'm so gonna get their album once it comes out!

Thursday 7 April 2011
I think I should write in a more coherent manner; like adding proper punctuation and typing complete sentences.

Wednesday 6 April 2011
having thoughts of negativity lately...
but then i remembered what was shared during a sermon

one negative thought requires twenty positive thoughts to negate it!

that ratio is quite big!
have to start bombarding myself with positive thoughts...
enough with the "im not good enough" thinking

have been waking up earlier than usual day after day
and i feel this is good
i dont have to worry about being late
and i get to spend more time with s20 heh.
today i was supposed to be in school by 7am
for chem remedial
but i reached school at 7:15am
at first i thought i was screwed but,
my tutor is just as late as i am (whew!)

a really tiring day...
assembly didn't help make things better
this teacher, James Koh (i think) was holding the assembly
was supposed to be an address by the principal but i guess she couldn't make it
seems like alot of students hate James Koh
and i guess i know why
i won't go on to elaborate about it
its not right.
anyway 1 hour was wasted (yes wasted) talking about the PJ app.
but to be honest,
i hardly use it and i dont see why you need 1 hr to talk about the app
when you can know everything about it just by using it
or even better
going on to the portal

the reasons why the PJ app was made was abit ridiculous
yes its the hard truth
apparently its because the school wants to follow on with the trend of apps
Mediacorp has it, Straits Time has it etc
these apps allow you to access information conveniently on the go anytime
you dont have your laptop out all the time

theres a flaw in this logic though
i dont think you will be using the portal everytime
perhaps maybe weekly to check the repository and news but thats it
the above average student would be active on the forums
i hardly use the portal myself
and theres a reason why other schools dont have an app.
it would be of little practical use
maybe abit convenient and useful but impractical and expensive
if you think about it the cost outweighs the benefits

k enough about my thoughts about the PJ app
stayed back after school to finish the whole of complex numbers
getting back PW results on friday,
cant wait!
i can see the A coming!!

Tuesday 5 April 2011
i still have no idea what G6 exactly means...
today's a really hot day
as in seriously hot
even at night its hot
even walking to school is hot

woke up 15 min earlier than usual
i have learnt my lesson from yesterday
where i was almost late
1 more min and i would have gotten detention
yesterday the buses that came by were always full
i looked at the time
"7:35am"
and the future indeed looked bleak
but against all odds i made it!
praise the Lord!
so anyway today i boarded this cool looking bus
its a very old SMRT bus
the first thought when i saw the bus was
"whoa that bus is still in service?!"

the bus was white
and one look you know that its an old bus
but thats probably the cool thing about it
inside you still can see those old ticket counters (NICE!)
and one thing caught my attention,
the speedometre.
the speedometre was malfunctioning.
its acting as if you connected an a.c to a galvanometre
i wonder how the bus driver knows what speed he is going.

end of school and went outside LT3 to wait for the overall common test result slip
at this point i was feeling reaaaaally tired
due to the weather and perhaps lack of sleep
so tired i could even sleep on the stairs leading to the back of LT3
yeah but when i stood up it was painful

Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and i will give you rest" - Matthew 11:28

indirectly found out my econs results today
got an E!
overall CT results not so bad
no failures...
but not too good either
did not meet my straight Cs target..
oh well there's midyear

Monday 4 April 2011
and another long monday arrives..
received my GP results today
not so bad...
i got an E
looked through the paper and realised.........
i could have gotten one more mark
looks like in my haste i've forgotten to write my word count
really wasted!!
seems i have been getting alot of Es for my common test
at least none of my subjects failed yet
reflecting upon this,
if i had chosen a better essay question i probably could have gotten a C or something

Sunday 3 April 2011

It seems that bloggers are a dying breed. Nowadays everyone is moving away from it, and this not just restricted to the busy people with busy lives but just in general.

More people seem to be moving towards tumblr, tweeter and facebook, which are in that sense realms of microblogging. Yes I know facebook isnt exactly blogging, but the idea is there.

Im frankly not much of a fan of tumblr. Too many people it seems merely go to other random tumblr blogs, repost and repost, maybe add one line of a comment and thats it. I dont find much worth in that. Yes, good quotes come by, but I dont see any genuine thought processes put into it.

I dont think we should stop blogging. We need to reflect upon our lives constantly, and for me, I type it all out. I dont particularly find facebook, tweeter and tumblr good mediums for such reflection.

Saturday 2 April 2011

had a weird dream today
probably a reminiscent scene of ROFL
except this time i was a pro skater (LOL!)
sliding and what not
a seriously random dream if you ask me
i did not think about skating before i slept

found today's message to be really useful and deep
not to mention really relevant
stuff about evangelism
quick summary of what was shared

• do not be quick to judge
• do not be afraid of what others may think badly about you
• many great tips to build a relationship

had dinner at KFC
and Eugene was on form
spamming lame jokes one after another
huge respect
it ain't easy to come with lame jokes on the fly (like a g6)
and creating them seemingly out of everything
requiring lots of thinking (out of the box)
and great exceution

oh and i embrassed myself today...
it goes like this
im a frequent (ok weekly) customer of Each a Cup
and probably one of the cashier (i think from china) has seen me alot of times
yeah and i my chinese isn't really that good
so she asked me this
translated to english

"are you from nan hua?"
"nope im studying in JC"
(probably didnt know what JC is)
"oh secondary school?"
"nope university" (i meant to say junior high)
You Fu who was beside gave me the o.O face
then he whispered and said "err da xue is university not junior high!"
and she gave me WTH and full of shock face
probably because i dont look like im from U
ah...
...
...
...

perhaps when i come by tomorrow i will clarify this misunderstanding
but anyway im half-correct right?
JC is a pre-U course heh
lesson learned...
even though A-lvl Chinese is over....
that doesnt mean you can kick chinese out of the window
at least i learnt the correct word for university and junior high
we learn from mistakes!

quick post before heading off to DI lest I forget

so yesterday was April Fools day
but i did not do any pranks
nor did i actually see any pranks in class or whatsoever
perhaps JC is too stressful or tiring to do any pranks
i just had a thought
April Fools day is sort of perfect to confess to someone
if anything goes wrong, you can just pull the plug
"oh just joking! april fools!"

hmm anyway
April Fools still feels like a normal friday to me
TGIF!

i thought we would be getting back econs paper today
i was wrong
instead the lecture was focused on the new topic
what the heck?!

so today went for hockey training
extreme PT is extreme
but definitely not one of the worst i have been through
i have been through much much more worse than during my cycling adventures with John
as quoted from John since secondary 4...

"wa i think we've been through so much shit....i think we are ready for NS"

i guess i have to thank John too
before i was into trail biking/road biking i was pretty weak
failing 2.4km for napfa
but now...its different
i guess today i found out the reason why God decided not to have me selected in the team
i guess this is one of the trails He has laid out for me
time to be realistic
in life things just dont go your way
in the working life you may be given so much shit from your boss
but does that mean you give up and be negative?

either that or its because of my injury
my ankles are so weak i can sprain just by walking
time to end off with one of my favourite sentences to use in a chinese "si han"
time is not early, i shall stop my pen here

had some tug of war game for PE
seems like many classes are having this game?
haha and we lost to S13 i think
even though we had Matthew!
who is super buff
score was 5-0
and s13 had little guys and more girls
sigh
got ropeburn while pulling the rope
usually tug of war participants wear gloves

had a pleasant surprise when i got back my physics paper
i barely touched physics
only read through the notes superficially and did not practice some questions
but i got a C grade!
reflecting upon this
why did i not study for physics?
after all its one of my best subjects
did i become complacent or did i just plain forget?
imagine if i did study for physics
whoa

which reminds me of an incident that happened in the morning
was walking to the canteen
then Mr Lee (my physics teacher) approached me and said
"did you study for physics?"
well this was before i actually got to know my result
and i thought i would fail or something
cause the paper was hard to me
so i replied
"sorry no cause i was studying other subjects"
his reply somehow shocked me it implied i did i quite well

cant remember the rest of thursday
thats what i get for writing this on a saturday
and falling asleep at like 11pm
(2 hours of complex straight is so draining)
