A reminder for us all.

Faith in Christ is not just a single step but a life of walking with Him.

Some have tried to make the Christian life more convenient. They choose to practice Christianity on Sunday only. They attend a religious service at whatever church makes them most comfortable. They give a small offering and are nice to fellow churchgoers—nothing that requires much effort on their part. That way they can have the rest of the week to themselves, to live as they please.

That would be a convenient Christianity. But we know that following Jesus is a lifestyle and not a Sunday-only convenience. Being a “disciple” calls for giving up our lives for Him (Matt. 16:25). It’s about living as Jesus calls us to live, daily giving up our plans and purposes for His. A relationship with Him causes us to be concerned with our thoughts, decisions, attitudes, and actions—all to make our life joy-filled for us and pleasing to God.

The Apprentice

Yesterday i started work in the kitchen of Picotin. A French/European bistro located just off Bukit Timah Rd, at the entrance of Turf Club Rd. Picotin, from what i learnt, is the traditional word for horse food and i suspect the restaurant was named so due to it location.

First day was rather exciting. I was to do the 3-11 shift. Meaning 3pm to 11pm. The other shift would be 10-6. Being a Wednesday, the kitchen wasnt as busy and i got to learn more at a slower pace. There were close to 20 people in the kitchen i reckon. There was the Chef de Cuisine. Chef C is 28, french, and rather friendly from first impression. Second in command was the Sous Chef. a malay man with 13 years of experience under his belt. Then there were the various Chef de Partie. I was assigned to start learning at the Appetizers Section. Here the dishes were rather simple and fast to serve, most of the work were done during the Mise en place (pronounced mee zon plus which means to "put in place"). This is all the work that goes on before meal times so that when the hungry diners order there food, they will usually get it before they start fumming. My section head was a malaysian chinese in his mid 30s i suspect. A very warm and friendly guy, however you would often see the other kitchen staff disturbing him.

Enlisted just a day before me was another malaysian, O, who was 22 years old. These malaysian have to travel to and fro Jb ever day, tough work aint it. O had work in another restaurant for a year before coming to join Picotin.Like me he had much to learn and the whole of yesterday we shadowed our Chef de Partie, taking instructions and learning from him. In my section, after the Chef de Partie, the next in line would be a 20 year old girl i think, our Commis cook. G a singaporean studied at a culinary school before working at Picotin. She had been here for quite a number of months. Also very friendly she explain many things to us. Nexy in line comes the other cooks and then the Apprentice. Oh and not forgetting 3 dishwashers whose hard work provides us with constantly clean plates, bowls, and other kitchen equipment. The only thing we wash ourselves are the knives. Oh and probably some other small tools.

So first day was rather fun, I would say i learned how to plate half of the appetizers on Picotins menu. There is more to learn and more preparation work to master. i secretly am happy because i feel almost a natural. I used to wonder if im holding the knife properly becos when i cooked at home that certain part of my finger would start to ache. i was wondering if i should just grip the whole knife handle. but after reading a cooking book and seeing some photos and seeing all the chef in the kitchen, i got the right way right from the start! The ideal way is to grip the handle close to the blade with the last 3 fingers and your palm, with your thumb and index finger, pince the end of the blade. if its the right way to do, its probably the natural way too i guess, for optimal support and control. Other knife skill i learn is how to brunoise an onion quickly.

hahah so excited. but after a whole day of standing your knees and sole tend to ache. but ill get use to it. the only time we sit down is for about 20mins for dinner break, which was mee goreng yesterday. i wonder who cooked it. anyway well at least im learning somethin here. beats hanging around stuck at the northern part of the island in some green attire. at least my uniform now is a cool black. hahha. we dont bring uniform home. we wear and than at the end of the day we put them at a corner and a laundry man would wash them. next day there will be other sets hanging on the racks for us. not bad huh. hahah.

alrights thats all for now! the hours are long, the work is tough, the pay aint good. but im looking to survive it all and be a light.

"in our kitchen you have to drink or/and smoke. do you smoke?" Shakes head. "do you drink?" "yep." "ok can thats good." "but i dont get drunk." all around the dinner table breaks into laughter.

2008-07-30T19:03:00.000+08:00

i realise im not mentally prepared at all.

how i wish i could tell you i cant believe i would have to have those clunky steel pieces in my mouth for the next two years.

hey hahah its been reali loong time. in case u didn noe. the race is over. hahah it was a reali good run considerin the condition of my build up to the run. i finished 84km in 11:26:09.86 a position of 69 in a field of 300 plus. not bad at all. but it comes with a story to tell. it was a race against myself for there was no one to beat. i wanted to go for 10hours but after my knee and lack of training, i told myself i would be please if i could even finish the race within the maximum allowed time of 15hours. and at one point of my training run the pain in my knee make me feel so weak that i noe only through God i would be able to finish the race.

and so at the start line i reali ask God to help me through the race and finish it. God came through and showed himself real through a guy called mike. he was another crazy fellow with the crazy 84km goal. and as i was startin out running i thought i might as well follow a guy and pace him. in a crowd of runners i decided to follow mike's pacing as he looked like a seasoned runner and at the same time he wasn hitting out hard at the start of the race. we were doing a very comfortable pace. so as we moved along and the crowd thinned out, he realise i was on his heels the past 10kms or so already. "are you running alone?" he said.

"yea, i thought i jus follow ur pace"

he said sure it was good to have someone to run with as it will start to get boring later. we chatted as we ran. i maintained his pace for about 30km and actually at around 20km i already wasn feeling too good. right from the start my knee had the sharp pain periodically but i jus ease the pain by trying not to bend that knee as much as i run. after some distance the pain was gone but i was losing energy. mike was sent by God. i did not have any fuel with me. but he was like a mama store. as a experience endurance athlete he knew the importance of fuelling along the way and thankfully for him i took some salt tablets and chocolates and energy food from him to prevent cramping up and hitting the wall. so in the first 42km i relied on him for motivation to push on. he even had frens who brought additional food to him along the way.

after the halfway mark it was painful. the start of the second loop was long and quiet and i felt there were some what fewer water points. i munch on chocolates as i trodded on step after step. at 50km, mike begin to suffer. at 48 years old, and more than twice my age it was cool enough for him to take part. but now he started to ease the pace and i felt much easier. my soles were aching from all that impact and my bones in my legs were sore. so i did not pick up but instead we ran side by side continue to give an unspoken support to one another. looking back it was as if he supported me the first 50km than it was my turn now. i realise at the pace we were goin, it was much easier for me to walk beside him. so for about the next 20km i walked jogged beside him. though in between he asked if i wanted to go ahead as he could see i was reali doing it very easily. but i said we will finish together. it did cross my mind to speed up and run the rest of the race alone as i wouldn be needing mike in a sense now. he was slower and weaker. but which ediot would do tt rite.

so we plodded on, stopped at cheers and he treated me to 2 bottles of starbucks frappucino, we took it easy and at the last 15km, we ran like we never run before. i was glad mike recovered and picked up and we past many of the runners who overtook us while we were walking. he was blazing through and i felt like we were running a race all over again. the coffee indeed gave some special boost. at around 8am on sunday morning, we crossed the finish line a split split second apart. we took photos, shared a hug, and exchanged numbers.

at a point of the race mike asked if i thought i would have completed the race without him. i knew it wouldn be possible. becos fuelling and the mental tenacity he provided was of so much importance. most importantly i believe mike was the answer God provided to my pray.

1 month down, we are back to our own lives but i noe we share a unique bond, a unique encounter.

i signed up for 84km jus for how crazy it sounds. i came to the race to make good my words.

and at the end of it all i won so much more than jus a 84km sundown marathon finisher tee.

2008-05-18T10:32:00.000+08:00

theres some problem with my knee. like seriously. e magical formula is rest and ice. like ok 12 more days. i didn even rev enough to consider tapering. lol im going to crawl to the finish line.

2008-04-25T15:16:00.000+08:00

hi today is 250408. i jus collected my photocard license.

i got a story to tell. abt God's goodness in my life. and how he so kindly display his realness to me.

this story begin when i failed my driving test.i was rather miserable. becos all along i thought i was very powerful and i will pass everything on the first attempt. unfortunately i so called beat a traffic light(according to the tester) and got too many points. so i failed

anyway when i fail i had to wait like 3 months for my next test date. it was like too long for me to wait. i will have to renew my pdl and my account at bbdc and spend so much more money. then i was tinking how. then i decided to go to ubi, cos my fren say the instructor there can get like 1 week or 2 week or 1 month at most.so i called him, signed up and after one lesson he say ok i can go for test. n he will book for me. BUT after like 3 weeks i stil got no news. i called him he said stil cannot get test date cos im a retest so dont hav early date. then he say 28 april. which is 2 months from my first date. i was like crap i thought within one month!!

i tell him to tell me when got earlier date cos i thought he might be bluffing and if i tell him i am going to get reali busy he might give me the earlier date.

so i at nite go home and tink how. when i went to sleep i ask God to give me a earlier date. like pls.

then the next day i call the fellow again. but he stil say dont have and if i dont believe i can go online and try myself. i was feeling rather down. when i got home i went online and check, but stil dont have. then i decided to jus try my old bbdc account again.

i was super shock. right before me there was a test date. 070408. i was not expecting anything becos previously i tried many times alr. i quickly book. then i double check. whether 7 of april
or 4th of july. at first it didn occur to me but after realising how impossible it was to get such a early date (the test was in 10 days), i know it was God.

when i tell pple some say wah so lucky. but i know it wasn luck. it was God answering.
He was kind enough to giv me the experience to strengthen my faith.
Praise God.

2008-04-20T08:13:00.000+08:00

heys! its been a reali long time. hav been doing short runs and sprint training with the recruits in camp. stuff like 5km runs 30min runs and 30:60 sprint training. but definitely not long distance training. oh i played water polo too. haha

so tis weekend i decided i should resume my long dist training, but it wasn too fruitful. couldn bring myself to wake up early on sat and sun's run had to be shorter cos theres sol. besides all these excuses i guess im jus too pathetically lazy.

so in the end i did 1 hour run on sat evening and 2h15min run on sun morning. but teacher/fren who is also running 84 told me i shld do 40km run back to back. which means 40km on sat. and 40km on sun. in the same weekend. i guess im alittle far behind in training! and 29 onwards im goin for ops VL. so i hope i will get time to train! and i gotta start sleepin earlier.

this weekend i treated myself to a large pack of doritos. for no reason haha. pretty shiok. watch ur diet!

jus a little calculation here.

if 2km is done in 11min 35 secs (695secs)
84km is done in 29190secs (486.5mins)(8.103h)(8h 6.18mins)(which is impossible to sustain cos i only did it for like ard 2hours)

more realistic target to meet my sub 10h timing would be
2km in 14mins
84km in 588mins(9.8h)(9h 48min)

or 2km in 13.5min
84km in (9h 27min) this would be good! hahah

oh wells! gotta train!

2008-04-05T10:01:00.000+08:00

hahah last sun i did 40km in 4h 45min! looks like my 84k gotta be in 10 hours!!

2008-04-05T10:00:00.000+08:00

ALL I WANT IS YOU!!!

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

[chorus]
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow

[chorus]

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

[chorus]

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

[chorus]

2008-03-23T10:32:00.000+08:00

jus did 28k in 2.50! woohoo! and i was feeling rather strong throughout the run! i guess its got more to do with the carbo loadin last nite and bread eating this morning. only stopped for a 100 plus can and boost bottle. hahah always the case of waking up and feeling lethargic and sian but went you jus start putting one foot ahead of the other, the momentum gets built up and u jus keep goin, keep pushing.

only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go. -t s elliot

2008-03-19T21:19:00.000+08:00

hello! hahah since i haven been bloggin much of late i tink it wld be a brillant idea to dedicate the blog to e 84km ultramarathon i will be running come 31 may. i need all the motivation i can get man. im human and im always too lazy to train. but i know for 84km there is no way i am goin to finish in good time without first paying my dues.

i jus ran around 22km today in approx 2 half hour. tt includes stopping to get snicker bar, 100 plus, salted peanuts, mocha nescafe. and not include a around half hour break i took in between for 100 plus at liyana's hall hahah

im drawing my inspiration from the ultramarathon man karnos. quoting the book -as lily tomlin said, " exercise is for people who cant handle drugs and alcohol." sounds pretty cool eh. so if u ask me why i choose to sign up, its prolly because i want to do somethin wacky and out of my world.

im feeling rather bloated and uncomfortable now after downing all the fluids to rehydrate myself. but once you step out of the house and start moving, you actually feel reali good!! so for whoever out there who want to keep fit, lose weight, run for fun etc i can do with the company during my runs! ( i hope i can continue to hav the motivation to train) jus let me know!

"tt which does not kill you makes you stronger."

"if you cant run, then walk, and if you cant walk, then crawl. do what you have to do.
jus keep moving forward and never, ever give up." -ultramarathon man

i love this! though its quite old alr hahah

Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

Now has I start upon chosen way
In all I do - my thought, my work, my play
Grant has I promise, courage new for me
To be the best - the best that I can be

Help me to keep my honour shinning bright
May I be loyal in the hardest fight
Let me be able, for my task and then
To earn a place, among my fellow men

Open my eyes to see things as I should
That I may do my daily turn of good
Let me be ready, waiting for each need
To keep me clean, in thought and word and deed

So as I journey, on my chosen way
In all I do - my thought, my work, my play
Grant has I promise, courage new for me
To be the best - the best that I can be

And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free
Only you can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a father to the fatherless
Our savior and our king
We will be your hands, we will be your feet
We will run this race
On the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light

We will be your hands , we will be your feet
We will run this race for the least of these

Leadership is…

The act of making a difference.

The ability to achieve results through people.

Who you are when no one else is looking.

Knowing what you’re best at, what brings a light to your eyes, and what you most love to do – and then

doing it.

Honoring the greatness – and uniqueness – in others.

Knowing how deep the place is from which life flows.

Connecting everyday to your deepest and most enduring values.

Doing whatever it takes to honor your word.

Doing whatever it takes to care for your family.

Doing whatever it takes to making a difference through your work.

Doing whatever it takes to give hope to the people around you.

Experiencing life not by looking in from the rim but front and center.

Making adversity your ally.

Greatness is born during tough times and unexpected circumstances.

Knowing that from time to time you have to look backward to see forward.

Excelling instead of competing.

No one has to lose for you to win.

Knowing when to come up for air.

Having an irrational sense of hope.

Being grateful for every genuine effort

Being grateful for every act of kindness.

Knowing your most unused potential and committing yourself to liberating the other 90% of your hidden

capacity.

Knowing that everyday you have the same number of minutes as

Edison – Lincoln – Galileo – Thoreau – King – DaVinci – Gandhi - Mother Teresa – Mandela - Einstein

Aligning your daily efforts with big dreams and great goals.

Glancing farther ahead.

Viewing life as a laboratory instead of a stage.

Challenging times are meant to be a test of spirit, not theatrics.

Knowing that the gap between what can be imagined and what can be accomplished has never been

smaller.

Learning faster than the world is changing.

Constantly discovering and applying new strengths, talents, and passions.

Valuing even the smallest moments of inspiration.

Facing the truth about weaknesses – first in yourself and second in others – and managing the

weaknesses out of the way.

Learning from every stumble and setback. No blaming. No defensiveness.

Trusting enough to be trusted.

Having a curious mind.

Having a listening ear.

Having an open heart.

Acknowledging that every day is a battle for control. Not of the world around you, but of your responses

to it.

Envisioning how your choices and actions today may influence the next ten years.

Never forgetting from how far back a human being can come and still make a difference.

Knowing that you path has a purpose beyond where it leads.

Knowing that the biggest risk in life is not to risk at all.

Being fun to be around. The way you used to be when you had no money.

Knowing that home is where the great are small and the small are great.

Doing all you can to have the heart of a lion, the skin of a rhino, and the soul of an angel.

Living so that when other people think of integrity, enthusiasm, commitment, and caring they think of

you.

Knowing you were born an original. Knowing you were born to make a difference in the world. Knowing

you can’t play it safe. Knowing you can’t sit this one out.

The time is now.

The leader is you.

If not now, when?

He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?

An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin’,
"Wasn’t such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:

"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?

"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

Matthew 6

Do Not Worry

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

wahhaha yups. i thank God for frens!

2007-03-18T20:18:00.000+08:00

pop lo. tt was on 15 jan. from tt day i have 12 days of leave. so ill go back to army on the 26.

wells now that im in the army its actually fantastic to get out of army. to be able to stay at home. i miss my bed. haha. i like my time now.

but you noe something. we all have our struggles. im in a confuse state.

confuse as to my future- how to move on, its somewhat decided but also not decided.
confuse as to relations. but i shant say.

somehow the likes of being in the army, of jus passing the day by. of jus not having to plan or think abt the future is reali nice. but i noe that tt is jus prolongin and draggin along. a form of escapism. well i should be studyin culinary.

im in the mood to jus lie and slp the nite away though its only 2030. when i decide to blog i usually jus type away but today im takin reali long to form my sentences.

aiya you noe what, i dunno wat im sayin at all tonite.
so tts all i have to say. haha

God bless frens. ill not talk so confusingly when im not so confused myself.
e-postin is on 23. so yups ill update den i guess.

to frens who are schooling all the best!

ps: i need to pack my room

2007-03-04T10:47:00.000+08:00

time flies. im left with 11 more days to pop(passin out parade). tts the end of bmt. then movin on the either sispec(sergeant) or ocs(officer) or just being a riflemen.

the a level results are out. for those not so close frens who stil dun noe i got BCD. well tts wat i deserve i noe. nothin better. i was just hoping to be more tyco but that wont help my lazy self will it. anyways movin on to the next step in life. making decisions. wat do i want to do. and stuff.

guide me. hold my hand, draw near to me. let me hear your voice. feel your presence. i want to draw near to you. im weak. i need you.

2007-02-11T09:28:00.000+08:00

wahhahah 4 weeks over! 5 more weeks of bmt left.

shooting range is over,
field camp is over,
sit(situational) test is over.

those are the major stuff.
wats left is really just physical training.

like SOC (standard obstacle course),
16k and 24k route march,
and ippt.

oh and hand granade throwing wahhaha. boom!

so as u can see its really just goin to be like PT in a new sport. the new sport is called army. and the only difference is that i will hav to walk around and run around in a helmet, vest, long pants, boots, long sleeve shirt, and a gun.

helmet- its really hot inside there and its like carrying weights to strenthen your neck.

vest (LBV)- its a cool vest that allows you to attach many pouches to your body.
for example i hav 3 magazine pouch. this allows me to carry up to 9 m16 magazine. alternatively they double up as biscuit and fruit bar storage, camou paint and insect repellent and marker storage. i also hav 2 grenade pouch. they double as whistle, mirror, black tape, matches, swiss knife, ear plugs, storage. i also hav a torch pouch, a utility pouch- big size one to put anythin u hav inside, combat ration, gortex jacket, etc. then there is a 3L water bag, and a 1L water bottle, and a bayonet. ya so you can imagine all the load. LBV stands for Load Bearing Vest. duh.

long pants long sleeve- no wonder im not getting much tanner despite the super hot sun. but they are really nice to sleep in. =)

gun- m16 that jams quite often. and gets so super dirty after just a few shots. all the carbon and dirt. but the instructor says you cant blame the gun cause you know how pple say that the gun is like your wife? well the gun that we are using is like a prostitute they say. cause they change hands every 3 months or so. so ya.. no one really takes care of them. ah wells. wateva..! wahhah

wahahahah tts a brief summary of all the cool shit i get from army. i tink the government spend close to 1k on each soldier just on equipment alone. seriously. the cool helmet i get is made of kevlar material its suppose to be light. wahhahah

heheh well this is my life now. cny in a week! 4 days off! yays! whahahah smiles!

2007-02-03T09:30:00.000+08:00

good day soldier!

aft army you would realise the importance of time.
and u will learn to treasure the granted in your life.

2007-01-11T23:14:00.000+08:00

wow its finally here. wahahah i realise i ahv been tokin alot abt goin into the army whahaha. but wells tts goin be my life now rite. so ya whahaha

in less than 12 hours time! im in! wahahah excitin.

well sheng will stil be sheng i tink.

but im hopin tt the little boy inside me will grow up to be a man. to look at some parts of life with more respect and solemness. wahaha.

this is my verse for this new year and the armed forces.

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love."
-1 Cor 16:13-14

nites guys. take care and God bless! wahahah ill be back real soon!

2007-01-11T01:12:00.000+08:00

It seems extremely queer that this photo (Me, Tim, Melvin, John) was taken on August the 4th, when we didn't even know when each other was going into the army, and yet the 4 of us are the ones who are going in on the same day Jan 12, almost the same time, into Tekong Resort. Well God has His designs. Haha. CHEERS TO US BOYS!

Taken and edited off Tim's blog.

hey hey! wahhahaha yday was a tiring but fun day!

i prepared a 6 course meal for e scouts. with the help of my fren and also my mum helped in lots of washin.

the last time i didn sumthin lidat was for my classmates 8 pple i tink. yday i had 20 pple over. whahaha it was reali exciting. i kinda like those sit down slowly wait for each course kind of meal. wahhaha cause i wanted the food to remain hot so i didn cook all at once.

then we play drinkin games and i drank quite abit. but it was okie.
then i decided after everyone left and i was lying on the bed to actually see how is it like to get drunk. i actually seen lots of frens gettin drunk but nv got drunk before. and since i was alone, i wouldn be an embarrassment at all. so i drank like another 3 shots( okie maybe 6) of vodka and now in the morning my head is stil alittle aching. i tink i was sum wat considered drunk eh. dunno la.

it sucks. totally.

im starting to hate the taste of alcohol and my poor liver and poor body has to get rid of all that poison.

dont get drunk okie frens! its not nice. whahahah

and im goin army next fri! ill hav to stay in camp the first 2 weeks so tt means no sundays out.

today 3 attitudes:
always Thankful,
always Victorious,
always a Blessing.

and then the 3 arenas to work on:
Personal Life -to overcome sin and claim victory.
Family -to be a guaier son , to hold family tgt.
Market Place -to be a warrior of light in army camp.

Go Deep, Look Far, Ask Big.

2007-01-06T00:29:00.000+08:00

boo! 6 more days! 5 more out and running! wahahha you noe wat. i was tokin to my fren tt nite and i realised when the time has come, the high difficult of me finding a gf and wife tt can tolerate all my nonsense and not be like me. i believe opposite attracts to a certain extend.

but i would like God to give me the right gal with 3 conditions!

whahahaha

firstly she do not drink coke - to make her special like me.
secondly she mus come from christian family - to have christian environment for our kids to grow up in.
thirdly she mus like sports and outdoors - then it will be fun campin and stuff as a family!

wahhaah of course there could be a possibility tt all these might change. but i hope not.
of course being a christian is a given.

hehe disclaimer: wat i jus said is purely jus for general knowledge purposes. nothin else. heheh

i realise tt like every other living human, death frightens me.

death is the only certain thing in life, so if we know its coming, how do we prepare for it? do you know? the answer is out there i guess.

im excited about ns, 15 more days.
but im not excited about war.
and in blessed singapore, ns does not related to war.

im still a work in progress. but if a patriot dies for his country.
then He mus hav died for the world.

and ya.. i hav decided to do a readership analysis. the analysis is just for my own understanding.
it involves sum high tech software tt i just installed into my comp. it will count the number of readers i have each day and it even tells me who views me. this sounds alittle all too narcissistic. so pls bear with it whahaha.

so to help me up, the software requires my readers to tag on the tag board each time they view me. leaving behind their name too. so please do that thx!

ps: the software also operates an intelligence analysis of my readers at the same time.

smiles!

2006-12-14T19:00:00.000+08:00

" 'For in its innermost depths, youth is lonelier than old age' I read this saying in some book and I've always remembered it, and found it to be true. Is it true then that grown-ups have a more difficult time here than we do ? No. I know it isn't. Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don't waver before they act. It's twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground, and maintain our opinions, in a time when all ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when people are showing their worst side, and do not know whether to believe in truth and right and God."

-Anne Frank

2006-12-11T18:00:00.000+08:00

hey hey hey! wahhaha i got a revelation today, pple actually do read my blog. whahaha i all along though tt the readership was zero or 1? wahhaha sumthin like tt. actually i have quite alots to tok abt. cause my life beens quite exciting.

there is the prom. everyone is like so wow over it. im like whahah okie. its an experience.
post prom was fun. not the dancin part cause tt was quite erms.. dunno. not my kind of thing. but ya.

imagine this situation.
(its jus my perception im sorry if i offend anyone, dont take it to heart. whahah)

anyways ya. its evening 6pm.
everyone is rushin home from work.
they make their way to the train station.
they wear their earphones and the music is blasting at their ears.
the train comes. everyone squeezes in.
the train travels into a tunnel and all the lights black out except for a few small ones.
the pple decide to start movin their body, swinging their arms.
every move you make you knock someone.
but you dont hav to say sorry. its totally okie. reali.
oh and your are entitled to a small bit of alcohol as long as you tapped ur ez-link card.
you can hav more if you pay by cash.

wahhaah ya... tts it. but the pple jus like it. their kind of fun n destress. its okie. enjoy wat you like. hehe but ya doubt ill ever go back there again.

by hey after tt was quite a fun time though. cos i always like to be helpful. and i could help my frens. yups. i tink they appreciated it. and i enjoyed it. tts all im goin to say here.

so ya. then i went for scout camp. slept like 3hs in 2 days? or rather less then tt. cause tt 3 hours was half spent gettin rid of sandflies cause the repellent doesn reali work. kinda sucks. whhah
but the camp was quite good. its a president scout camp! wow! president eh. wahahh actually nothin much la. for me at this stage is if get good la. dont get nvm la.

heres a learning point. life is such. even frens. there are points in life when you are so enthusiastic abt sumthin and you will go all out to achieve sumthin. when you will do you best and strive for nothin less.

this does not reali apply to frenship. but for frens its like you look back at the past and you think of the good times, the joy the laughter. and you wonder why you didn ever stay in contact. but frenship like relationship is a complicated thing. it has to be 2 ways. if you sit back and thing the other person will do sumthin, then nothin wil actually happen, cause the relationship isnt much to you i guess.

so heres goin out to my best frens of the different times. of course there are secret crushes to go along for each times, but tt shall remain secret. wahahah

wahhaha. other pple i wont forget will be the scouts, canoe team, and cell and church. always and forever ya wahaha hope so. nothin certain..

ah ha! another learnin point. the only certain thing in life is death.

for life on earth, its one thing to survive, its another to live.

so one life, live it. reali..

live it for a purpose. not a materialistic purpose. maybe alittle more for a kick purpose. like doin extreme stuff jus for the fun of it. but entirely for a everlasting purpose. a purpose tt does not fade and die. you noe wat im tokin abt. hav u found your purpose?? Wahaha. i pray tt i will stand firm to my faith.

so yups. another of my favourite quote, its for those who is goin through a tough period of time. be it studies, or like a marathon (i been through both) or other stuff like sickness.

rmb all this tough times are jus temporary, it will be over, and when u sustain through it, you come out stronger and tougher.

im serious. tough times dont last forever, tough pple do. always remember tt. watch the guardian, its a solid film. i promise. get it on dvd or sumthin. not to be missed. and pls watch the whole show.

yups yups! its dinner time! ill go. i hope readin this hav indeed educated you in sum way. dont stop learnin in life. be a sponge. study wat you like. even its jus abit here and there. it all adds up to alot.

i hope you wont go away thinkin craps, i jus wasted this amt of time readin nonsense. cause i noe i didn waste this amt of time Writin nonsense.

yups yups! tts all for now. oh n i received the introduction letter from CIA alr! culinary insitute of America. if its free ill sign up straight away. lookin for sponsors.. anyone?

hehe so i tink aft army it will end up between business or culinary. or better stil, both.
set up a restaurant, be the chef, and own it. whahaha
God knows. tc pple!

2006-12-03T18:44:00.000+08:00

the timing is 4h 45min. not reali tired, but aching quite abit. wees!

i tink if i should decide to train for next year it shall be sub 4h.
tt way the black finisher tee would be more valuable to me.

2006-12-02T21:59:00.000+08:00

this is a comment to vera yang carpe diem post.

"

hey hey hey! yep tts good.

i always like to risk alittle here and alot there.

tt way you can save alittle effort here, and alot time there.

wahhah get wat i mean. and there wil be room for alittle hope and alot faith.

i advocate the fact tt if you covered all your bases then theres no room for God to work miracles ya!

hehe then again many will blah blah blah do your best do your part think before you act, etc etc. its not wrong.. there wil be a time for tt.
but for me tt time do not come often.

maybe i need a rude awakening into the reality of life. but i hope not. i want more adventure. hehe this is so long im goin to repost it in my blog. sori for takin up so much airtime. smiles!

"if God wants you to trust Him, He puts you in a place of difficulty. if He wants you to trust Him greatly, He puts you in a place of impossibility. For when a thing is impossible, then we who are so prone to move things by the force of our own being can say, 'Lord, it has to be You. I am utterly, absolutely nothing.' "
-Donald Grey Barnhouse

i wil jus be doin my part.
praise Him.

hi. i cheated. lol

2006-09-19T14:22:00.000+08:00

now that i hav finished whatever i wanted to do on the comp.

By Faith I Declare,

from the period of 20 Sept to 2 Nov (44 days) to the start of A level.
and then 3 Nov to 16 Nov (14 days) to the end of A level.

A total of 58 days. i shall fast from using the computer entirely.

Using the computer was alright.
But using the computer excessively is bad. and thats wat i been doing.
The computer is a devil.

So help me God and from tomorrow onwards the computer will be out of my room.

I Declare by Faith im going to get 3As for A level! because God loves me!

Matthew 17:20 - 'He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'

smiles!
