Retreat.

2010-06-18T22:25:00.003+08:00

11th to 15th June 2010. New Life Baptist Church Retreat. Indonesia, Batam, Golden View Hotel. Nearly all the youth went. It was awesome. There were so many interesting things that happened. I would not write about each of the five days but I'll just write about what I remember.

I went there on the first night instead of the morning because I had exams in the afternoon. By the time I went there the first session had ended. I was surprised and disappointed that I was sharing room with my uncle. One of the reasons is that everyone else of the youth is sleeping with their friends except ME! Definitely it would be more fun sharing room with your friends rather than sleeping with your uncle right? I wonder how I ended up sharing the same room with him. There is another reason which I rather not talk about here. In the end, I just accepted the fact that I had to sleep with him and decided that this would not ruin the retreat even before it started!

The speaker, Dr Tan Soo Inn blessed everyone with his messages throughout the sessions. He is a speaker with a little humor and has very good insight of the Word. Most of his messages are simple to the ear but hard to apply in our lives. His messages about rest, money and roles challenged my role as a Christian greatly. I was inspired with his teaching and vowed to continue living right with God and meditating on his word more!

The most interesting part of the day for me personally was when night came. Although the day might be over for some of us, but for me, the fun has yet to begin. Every night, the youth would gather either in Hannah, Elaine, and Joanne's room or Kathy, Shaina, and Ruth's room. Good thing my room is just opposite theirs. The most common things we do would be, playing taboo, truth or dare or polar bear. Simple but fun. Taboo: I did not really join in this because I was either watching the World Cup, or jamming with Johann, Ryan, Elaine, Eugene, Carol, and the rest. All I know that is there would be shouting and screaming at each other, but the worse is yet to come. Truth or dare: "Truth or dare? Truth. Who do you like?" The typical question asked in this game. Be more creative larh people. Ask something more interesting. Like, who do you think is the most charming guy in the youth? Muahahaha. I would not comment on this one. Someone actually said my name, but I doubt if its true. Anyway, we had fun and it was interesting getting to know some stuff. Polar bear: This game is either interesting or boring. For me, it is interesting just to observe how people react and respond to the accusations and how they try to defend themselves and fight for their right. Haha. Its just so amusing. This is the most noisy games and everyone would be thrown into a big "riot". The whole room would be worse than a market!

Now, for what we did during the day. Swimming: Our youth love swimming I guess. Nearly everyday, we would just jump into the pool or get thrown into the pool. I was thrown twice into the pool by some "bullies". Tommy and David! David actually carried me and jumped into the pool with me! Kathy also struggled helplessly as Tommy literally threw her into the pool. One afternoon, I walked to the pool and saw our youth jumping and somersaulting into the pool. I have no idea how they stared it. But, as awesome as I am, I just joined in, and my somersault was just awesome!

Paintball: Omg. This was one of the most fun things we did there. Nearly all the youths plus some adults went to play paintball. Despite all the bumps and bruises, everyone had lots of fun! I got shot two times, once by my own team mate and another one by I duno who. Both were headshots! Shopping: Well, we guys did not actually go shopping, but rather, we went to watch a movie, A-Team. Leon, Andrew, Eugene C, Eugene H, Johann and Ryan. Guess how much the ticket cost? 24,000 rupees! That is like $4! Super cheap. If we had the time, we would just have a movie marathon there.

Overall the trip was one that was full of fun, bonding and learning from one another.

True story.

Last minute updates

2010-06-06T23:50:00.005+08:00

Omg. What am I doing at this time? Blogging on the night just before my exams. I shouldn't be in the mood to blog right now. I should either be sleeping or worrying about my exams tomorrow. Anyway, I have studied enough for today and decided to write something since I won't be blogging for the next whole week.

Here is whats gonna happen during the next few days and weeks during my absence. Monday to Friday, I will be studying till I'm either crazy or suddenly decide to do something stupid (hopefully not).

Here's where the awesomeness begins..

After my exams on Friday, which ends at 3pm, I'll be heading straight home.

Sounds boring right? Nope! You're wrong. I'll be heading straight home.... and.... wait for it...... going for church retreat! I'll have to prepare to leave the house to the harbor and head to Batam. Yes, Batam, the one in Indonesia. I'll be going along with Tommy, Hannah, Ryan, and... that's all the youths I know who would be leaving at night. I'm not that excited yet, since my tests are still in the way. But I'm sure I'll be excited once all the tests are over. I hope to have a great time at the camp learning more about God's awesomeness and bonding more with all the youths who would be going.

After the camp, I would be preparing for the mission trip a few days later. Gonna do some shopping with Tommy and David. Last minute preparations and rehearsals. I'm not gonna say much about this mission trip for now. I'll be leaving for East Timor on the 19th June and coming back on the 28th June.

That's all that is happening in my awesome life for now. There would be more awesome and "awesome" stuff to come!

Recently..

2010-05-26T23:52:00.004+08:00

Before I update you on what is happening in my life, I would like to share two events that happened recently.

1st

I was on my way to Holland Village. So I took this bus No. 48. Everything seemed normal and went normal, until this bus driver did something stupid. Instead of turning in to Farrer Road and then Holland Road, it went straight on along Bukit Timah road. "What the heck is this bus driver doing? Was he sleeping? Did he drive the correct bus? Did I board the wrong bus?" All these thoughts flooded my mind. Then this elderly uncle said "You went the wrong way! Supposed to turn left!" Then the bus driver had to make a U-turn ahead and wasted 10 minutes of everybody's time. The people at the bus stop were staring at the bus as it passed by and laughing at it because it went the wrong way!

PS: Some of you may not know where or what I'm talking about. But to summarize it: The bus driver missed the turning it was supposed to turn into and wasted 10 minutes of my time.

2nd

Do anyone of you watch Singapore dramas? If you do, you'll know who I'm talking about here. I was eating dinner with my buddies on Thursday. Suddenly, I saw Adrian Pang with his family!! (I know its not the awesome Taylor Swift. But he's quite popular among Singaporeans. If it was Taylor, I definitely, 100 times 100% would go take pictures with her, get her signature, etc. That's the ultimate dream in my life!) Omg! I could not believe my eyes. I was wondering "Is it really him?" Everyone else around there took a glimpse of him. I immediately took out my phone ready to snap some shots of him. But I only got one shot. I wanted to approach him and ask if "he would like my picture", but I was shy and scared that if I did it, others would also follow, which would disrupt his dinner. Thinking of it now, I so regretted that I did not take a picture with him. I promise myself that next time I see another artist, I would go take pictures with him/her. Well, here's a shot i took of him. Sorry, its very blur, but he's still recognizable.

Prove that I saw him.

============================

Here are updates on what is gonna happen and what I have been doing lately.

The worse thing of the worst. Exams are around the corner. 7th to 11th June! I barely studied yet. I really have to start studying properly now, if not I'll screw up my common test, which I do not want to do so. There would be 4 papers this time round. So please pray for me that I would be able to concentrate and focus on my studies.

Church retreat and mission trip coming up during the June holidays. Church retreat at Batam, Indonesia for 4 days from 11th to 14th June. Will be leaving only in the evening because I would be having exams in the afternoon. Mission trip will be from 19th to 28th June at East Timor. Looking forward to this new experience. I will talk more about it when its nearer.

That's all for now. To all my friends who are in other parts of the world and not in Singapore, continue to keep in touch and I miss you all a lot! Cheers!

2010-05-16T23:43:00.004+08:00

Last Friday, I went with my friend to City Music to get my new electric guitar which I have been waiting so long for. The guitar was awesome! I love the color of the guitar. I think the color is called Canadian Apple Red of something like that, I forgot. But, I call it "sexy red". Yeah! Check out some shots I took.

Time flies

2010-05-10T20:34:00.004+08:00

Its May already! Time flies. Before you know it, you're gonna become awesomely old. (Not me though, I'll always be young!) :)

Today at school, there was a briefing about internship for BS students. (For those who do not know what internship means - its an official program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation. In other words, its part of getting exposure in a working environment.) During the briefing, I realized that I was gonna graduate from poly very soon and going out to work. Oh no! I was really aging fast. But, we still have to face the fact that we'll grow up someday and start our second part of life right?

For those who are still in school, please, please enjoy your school days while you still can, like, seriously. If not, you'll regret once you go out to work that you did not enjoy those days, and you'd wish you'll be able to go back to those times.

Kick Ass + Updates

2010-04-29T22:39:00.006+08:00

Yesterday, I went to watch a Movie with Ryan, Abel and Eugene. Kick Ass. I mean the movie was called Kick Ass. It was rated 18 and above. Good thing everyone was 18 or above. Ohmygosh, I feel so old. Anyway, that day I was feeling quite tired after school and all but we still wanted to watch the movie!

We went to Cathay after having our dinner with Elaine and Johann. Both of them had stuff to do, so they could not go. When we wanted to buy the tickets for the 7.20 show, they told us that all the tickets were sold out. So, we bought tickets for the 9.50 show instead. That was real late. So what did we do for 3 hours? We went to the regular Starbucks to chill out. We sat down there, studying, doing homework, gaming, talking, drinking (as in coffee), etc.

The movie was a nice one. Comedy, action and a bit of romance. Its some type of superhero movie, but what makes this movie different is that the "superhero" has no powers whatsoever. He just dresses himself up in a retarded scuba diving suit with two sticks as his weapons.

I love Hit Girl the best in this show. The way she act and fight is so cool. In other words, she is awesome. Without her, there would be no story. They should name this movie "Hit-girl" although it doesn't sound so cool. But I'm impressed that this girl can act so well at such a young age. I'm not sure if all the stunts were done by her or not. But she's still cool.

Anyway, I was glad that I watched this movie because it rocked. By the time the movie ended, it was around 12am. Was forced to take a cab back home. Good thing my lessons only started at 1pm the next day.

=========================

Here's some updates about me (if you care to read).

My school life is getting more interesting compared to my boring one last year. I'm getting more involved with Co Curriculum Activities (CCA in short). I'm joining Hearing Impaired club (HI club). Learning sign language and reaching out to local hearing impaired friends. Cool eh?

I just got a job offer from one company. But I'm not sure whether to take it up or not, whether it would distract me from my studies. 3 days per week, 4 - 5 hours per day, $800 per month, flexible working hours. Help managers organize events. Looks very tempting. I really don't know what to do. Someone, anyone, please give me some advice.

I'm involved in the church here in Singapore. I'm helping out with the children worship, leading and playing the guitar. Besides that, I've also just started leading in the youth prayer once a month. Last week was my first time. I also play the guitar for youth worship and for events in the church occasionally. Not forgetting the mission trip I decided to go for which is coming up in June.

I've decided to be more conscientious this year. To do all the tutorials and to not to study only at the last minute. Because I want to do better this time. I really hope that I can keep up to my promise and not get distracted with different things. With all the projects coming in during the second week, I can see that this is gonna be a very busy year for me.

That's about all for now. I would like you people to keep me up in your prayers because I really need it. Thanks. By the strength and grace of God, I pray that He would sustain me and continue to keep me strong.

God Bless you all! :)

Away from home

2010-04-20T22:15:00.003+08:00

Its been a year since I came to Singapore to study. Time passes so fast and I really miss the times I had in secondary school. And now here I am studying in Singapore, hoping to get the best out of it. The reason why I came to Singapore is because of my parents constant encouragement and the feeling that God has a plan for me here. Although if given a choice, I would rather stay in Malaysia, but ultimately, I am grateful that I am given a chance to study here in Singapore, where the education is of a higher standard. I was really surprised when I was accepted into Ngee Ann Polytechnic despite my suckish SPM results.

Being here in Singapore had taught me many lessons and experiences which I have never gone through before. The first would be the tight budget which I'm given. Back home, I would be able to withdraw money from my parents when I ran out, but it is totally different here. As you all know, the standard of living here is higher then back in Malaysia. I have to learn to spend my money wisely despite all the various temptations before me. Expenses like food, transportation and phone bills have to be calculated each month so that I do not overspend. Recently I realized that I have been spending too much and I promised myself not to do so anymore. Self control plays an important part in my everyday life.

My time spent here has made me appreciate what my parents had done for me and not to take them for granted. Back home, there would be meals laid out on the table each day and I would never have to worry. But here, I have to do all these by myself. Since, there is literally no space in my uncle's house for me to cook anything, I have to eat out everyday, which is really troublesome. Plus, I would have to do my own laundry, cleaning and washing everyday. All these things have made me really grateful for what I have at home.

Living here has also taught me to be independent. I had to start all over again. From making friends and getting used to the place. I had to get used to living in a foreign country and to adept to the lifestyle here, which wasn't easy for the 1st month. But slowly, I began to make friends with the church youth which made me comfortable and welcomed me so warmly. I began to have a few friends in poly. Without these people, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now. Especially to the group of friends which I often hang out with. Plus there is the internet which enables me to keep in contact with my friends in Malaysia, which is really important because I am someone who treasures friendship a lot. Here in Singapore, there is no one to remind you, "Have you done your devotion? Have you cleaned your room? Have you studied today? Have you done your homework?". Now, I have to force myself to be disciplined, if not, I'll be totally disorganized, which would be very bad. Besides being physically disciplined, I also have learned to be spiritually disciplined. Reading the bible and praying everyday has become something that I am trying my best to put into practice.

I have become emotionally stronger since coming here to study. Leaving my family and friends and going to a place where everyone else is a stranger, is not an easy task at all. Trust me. It might be a nightmare for many people. For me, the 1st few weeks in Singapore was not easy at all. I was depressed and lonely and felt like no one cared for me. But soon enough, I found great friends and people which I could rely on and who could make me happy. I really want to thank God for these people which he has brought into my life. Overcoming the feeling of loneliness and depression is not easy. It is not something which can be done alone. You need people who you can trust to encourage you and support you in these times. Most importantly you need God to help you through this. Which he really has done for me and I truly thank Him. Praise the Lord!

I hope that I would continue to grow in every way with the grace of God and that I would be able to see his plans in my life.

It ends tonight

2010-04-18T22:34:00.003+08:00

Holidays have come to an end. Time passes so so fast. Just a while ago, I was in Camerons with the youth and now, I'm back in Singapore not at all looking forward to start school again. This time, I'm gonna be more active in the school activities and upgrade my profile, if you know what I mean. I promised myself to work harder too and do better in my studies this time round.

Anyway, school aside. Today, I decided to go for the East Timor mission trip in Jun. Which are during my term break. Its gonna be for 8 days. Well, to all my Penang friends back there, this means that, very likely, I won't be back in Jun for my term break as it is just for 2 weeks. I decided to go for it because It would be a very good experience as I haven't gone for mission trips out of Malaysia before. I hope to gain the experience and open my small eyes to the things of the outside world. This would make me even more grateful with what I have now.

I would need prayers from you people. I would need to be prepared in every aspect - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Pray that God would help me to be able to take this great experience home with me and share it with others.

Some updates

2010-04-17T00:30:00.003+08:00

I'm getting better now, but not fully healed. I still need some time. But, a very big thank you to all the encouragement some of you people gave me. You were great! You know who you are. :)

Had dinner with Ryan and Abel at Ion Orchard. Soup Spoon. 2nd time going there. Was very full. After that, we went to Island Creamery for ice cream and met other friends. Had a good time.

Overall, I have to get into the mood of starting college again. Time to wake up this rusty and rotted brain of mine which have been asleep for 2 months! I've a feeling that the second year would be more challenging than the first one. I'll have to study harder and be more conscientious in my studies this time. Don't slack too much!

I'm starting to read this book "Left Behind". Heard of it before? Its about the earth's last days. People suddenly vanish and the whole earth is thrown in chaos. Its about what it would be like with the people who are left behind after the second coming of Christ. Nice book. I think.

Status update

2010-04-15T22:55:00.005+08:00

Arrived: 4pm
Destination: Changi Airport, Singapore
Weather: Clear then dark clouds
Condition: Safe

Yes, this is about what happened this afternoon. I arrived at Singapore at about 4pm. 10 minutes before the scheduled time because it left 10 minutes earlier. Well, I took a cab to my friend's place where my uncle was going for dinner later that night. Too bad my friend was not there because he had college stuff to do in school. So I was all alone. Depressed as I was, i just managed to get through the time there without breaking down.

What made matters worse was when I wanted to connect to the internet. The internet was my only means of connection to you people back in Penang. Its like my life and like my water that keeps me hydrated all the time. Unfortunately, I could not access it. The whole internet was down! Up to now, I still can't seem to connect to the internet. I'm just using someone's wifi signal which I can receive. I'm guessing the problem is with the internet service provider. Can you imagine not drinking water for a 10 hours or more? Many of you would be half dead by now. Yes, that's exactly what I felt like.

Anyway, there are still many other things going through my mind right at this moment. I thought to myself, "I must be strong, I must be strong", I keep reminding myself. But it doesn't seem to work at all. The real cure for this syndrome is to be constantly encouraged by the people around you, and truly being strong from the inside. Which is very hard at times. You people have to experience it before you really understand what I'm saying. Its like a living nightmare that haunts you everyday and you just can't seem to get rid of it no matter how hard you try to!

Sorry to those people who actually read my blog. I'm just blabbering about what I feel and its the only way to let go of all these. Not fully let go but it helps me feel a little better. Thank you for bearing with me.

Thoughts

2010-04-15T01:14:00.003+08:00

What am I doing so late at night? Well, I can't sleep, since its the last night I'll be in Penang. There are just too many thoughts going through my mind right now.

When will I get to come back? What is going to happen this new academic year? What type of friends would I meet? What will happen in church? Is there anything exciting to look forward to?

All these things and more keep bothering me. I think its because I'm starting to really get to know the people in youth better. There are wonderful memories which I cannot forget and it makes me miss them even more. I keep reminding myself - "It will be okay. You will do just fine when you get back to Singapore. Your friends are waiting for you." All these thoughts are just to prevent me from being too emotionally drained. But I guess I will have to face the reality of getting used to life in Singapore once again.

TMCpg Youth.

2010-04-11T22:33:00.005+08:00

This post is specially dedicated to all the youths of TMC Penang.

Yes, a few more days and I'll be back in Singapore. You might ask, how do you feel? I kind of have mix emotions now. Its pretty hard to describe these feelings that are roaming within me. You'll have to experience it before you know what I'm trying to say.

For people like Jason, yes, I'm referring to YOU, Jason Lim Ding Zhe! I know you understand the feeling of leaving home and going to another foreign country to study. There is another thing you have yet to experience, my friend. The feeling of coming back for a reasonably long time (eg: 2 months) and leaving again. Its indescribable. You can always talk to me about it. I totally understand. Oh ya, that's provided you are reading my blog.

And to those people who made my holiday an enjoyable and memorable one. Thanks a million! Even though you may think that I am just another friend of yours, I treasure each and everyone of you and all of you mean a lot to me, really. Even though I've only been here for a year, I am extremely greatful that all of you guys and girls welcome me warmly. Although I only come back for holidays once a while, I am glad that you people don't leave me out.

I hope that each of you would continue to grow in your own unique way, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. May the Lord continue to lead you all the days of your life and continue to draw closer to Him each day!

This part is interesting, just find your name below and read.

Guys, look here...

Shaun: You are like a brother to me! You always make me feel comfortable when you're around. I can joke and talk openly with you and not be scared that you'll criticize me. You make me happier when I'm not and for spending your time with me. May you continue to discern the will of God and let him lead you to your calling.

Yi Jie: Firstly, I won't be talking about your height. You are another person that I can get along well with. You are not afraid to take on responsibilities and fulfill them to the best of your ability. I remember the time at Camerons when we sat down and talked late into the night. I'm so glad that we can share openly to each other and thank you for being so honest with me. And thank you for being like an older brother to all the younger ones. All the best in your SPM next year! I won't say study hard, but STUDY SMART!

Syahmi: Sup bro? Strong, sporting, funny. Three words that describe you. You always make me smile and laugh at your jokes, actions and expressions. You have a good sense of humor and that is a very good gift. I like the way you take care of your sister and brother. I believe that you are a very good brother to both your siblings. The way you have matured in the Lord is remarkable. I have seen you grow throughout the past one year and I am very glad that you have matured spiritually.

Hugo: Where have you been!? I haven't seen you since I came back to Penang. What are you doing? How are you? I have so many questions to ask you. I really missed you. I hope that you would come back to church and continue to join the youth group. Take care.

Benjamin: You are one talented young boy! I love your talent in music. I envy your piano skills. I'm glad to see that you can serve in Church at such a young age. Its really a joy. I presume that you are doing well in school too. You are smart boy ben. I can see that you would become a fine young man one day. Keep it up!

Pipit: I'm so glad that you are getting used to it in our youth group. I see that you are also enjoying yourself. You are a joyful boy and I think that you would become a good example to many of the younger kids.

Yung: I'm glad to have a brother like you. You are having so many responsibilities in school and church and yet you still can carry out your duties well. You have the gift of leadership. Continue to keep it up and draw closer to God each day!

Liang: Study hard. Studies are important because it determines how much education you can receive. Studies aside, you have been a joy to many of the youths with your friendly personality. I am also happy to have you as my brother.

Joel: Little boy. You are a very nice person. Despite you being playful at times, I am greatful that i have met you. Continue to be yourself and make sure you take care of yourself.

Daniel: Good drum roll. You are improving a lot in your drums. I was surprised to see you serving on stage when I came back to Penang. I'm really proud of you that you pursue your interest in drums and use it to serve God. Your parents must be really proud of you too. Keep it up! Btw, here is a lame joke to add to your collection. Ask me for the answer if you give up. "Why did the boy throw his clock into the trash?"

Jason: How are you in Aussie? Studying hard i suppose. Its nice to know that you are doing well there. When would be the next time we can meet again? I miss you man. How is your Church there? Is it awesome like back in Penang Trinity? Study smart and remember, don't neglect God's word each day. Lastly, be careful with relationships and don't let it hinder you from more important stuff.

Yi Xiang: You will be taller than your brother! Do you look up to your brother? Learn from your brother. Each of us have our own strengths and weaknesses. Find out your strength and use it for good. I can see that you are also a good friend. Treasure each of them well.

Samuel: You are a good person. I see that you can get along well with others. Don't forget to do your quiet time everyday. Its very important! All the best in your SPM this year. One more thing, make sure you attend JS next year.

David: You are tall okay. In fact, you'll be the tallest among both your brothers. I see you are beginning to take up responsibilities in Church. Continue to grow in the Lord and serve him.

Girls, look here...

Denise: You are one of a kind. You have leadership qualities and you take up your responsibilities well. I can see that you are being a good example too all the youths and especially to both your brothers. I am glad to have a friend like you, despite all your pinching and bullying. Continue to grow in the Lord and use this long break to draw closer to Him. All the best in your Form 6 which is starting in May.

Anne: You always laugh at the littlest things. You have a very joyful and nice personality. Thank you for taking the time and spending this holidays with me. I am very greatfull for that. I still haven't seen your straight hair in person yet. But based on pictures, I think it looks nice. Continue to bring joy to the people around you and always remember to be happy.

Joanne: I've seen you grow in many ways. You are a very mature person. I look up to you as someone who is strong and mature in the Lord. I noticed the change in you after JS. Told you JS is awesome right? Cheers! You are more joyful now and I can see that you relate well to many people. Keep it up. I wish you all the best when you go down to KL to study and serve in whichever Church you go to there. Don't forget to do your devotion everyday. Don't loose the JS spirit which is still burning in you. God bless!

Joella: You are a very nice and sociable girl. You have a very good voice and I'm happy that you use to serve the Lord. People love to be around you because of your decent personality. I noticed that you are also a friendly person and people feel comfortable talking and mixing around with you. Study smart and don't stress yourself out. I pray that you would pass SPM with flying colors. Take care!

Syaza: I am truly happy to have met someone as nice as you. I believe you have grown emotionally and spiritually throughout the years. You have a very nice family. The way you make me smile is just wonderful. You have a very friendly personality. You can talk very well with everyone and carry on a conversation for hours. Which I think is awesome. I will miss you a lot even though you may not really miss me much. But your existence really means a lot to me. Continue to strive in your studies and relationship with Christ. Take care my friend.

Sheri: My younger sister! :) I'm so so glad to have met you. Although its just been a while, I feel like I've know you for ages. I feel happy by just talking to you and being around you. You are a very nice and funny girl. I love your personality. Feel free to come and talk or ask advice from me. I would be glad to help you in every way as much as I can. That's what a brother is for right? Remember to always be happy and trust in the Lord with all your heart! Take care sis.

Allyn: You are one lively girl. I am happy that you have friends that you can rely on and relate to well. I hope to get to know you more and more. You are one cool girl too. Treasure all your friends dearly and hold on tight to them. Remember not to neglect the word of God and grow bit by bit in Him. All the best!

Will get to know you more little by little. I am looking forward until the next time we meet. Meanwhile, take care and be continue to be yourself.

Ruth: Didn't get the chance to say goodbye to you last Sunday. Study hard in college. I hope that you are able to cope well with your studies and catch up with the things you have missed. I missed the times where we hang out together. Your presence made a difference in the group. Its good that you can control your pinching now. Haha. Read your bible everyday and remember to pray too. See you when I come back.

Claudia Ng: You are a unique person. I would say that you are good with words and that you are a mature person. Nevertheless, be careful when you handle relationships. Remember that the Lord is in control of everything. I think that you are a good friend to others and treat others well. Be strong in the Lord and always be happy.

Claudia Lim: You are a fine young girl. The way you set a good example to your younger brother is very good. I notice that you are a good sister although it is hard to take care of your brother sometimes. But continue to mature and help your brother do so too. Lastly, drawing closer to God day by day is very important. Don't forget this.

Emily: I'm glad that you are mature and that you can take care of your younger siblings although they may be naughty at times. They are still small, continue to help them in every way and set a good example for them. I am glad that you are also getting along well with the youths. Study hard and all the best in your studies.

Wen Dee: Hello. I haven't really talked to you before. But I see that you are a sociable girl and friendly one. You smile a lot and are happy wherever you are (or at least in church). Hope that I can be friends with you. See ya!

Goodbye everyone! You guys rock!

Oh gosh, you won't believe what happened to me this afternoon.

I went to queensbay with my brother. As I was driving, listening to Planetshakers awesome music, my brother suddenly said "Hey, this is Penang Bridge!". I looked around, holy crap! We really were on the bridge.

I missed the turning to queensbay and ended up having to travel all the way up and down the bridge. Wasted RM 7! Can buy 2 plates of friend kuey teow!

I know those of you who are reading this post will be thinking "Jun Arn is so blur. He's crazy. Something is wrong with this guy. Good for you!" Yes, it was all a big joke to me and I won't repeat it ever again!

Troublesome

2010-04-08T12:58:00.003+08:00

At last! I've changed my blogskin. And guess how long it took me to do it?

3 whole hours!

Do you know what you can do with 3 hours? Tsk. Many things! You could watch a few episodes of bleach or have a good sleep or even watch Lord Of The Rings or Star Wars!

These geek stuff really don't suit me. I find it troublesome and confusing. I'm still figuring out how to put in my profile picture and add more widgets to my blog. If you know how, could you please tell me? Thanks.

A few steps before taking a seat before an event or even in church.

1. Don't sit down yet.
2. Scan the area for familiar faces.
3. Decide where to sit. Be it with your friends or alone (because you are a retarded emo).
4. Take a seat.
5. Don't change places after you have seated down. You'll look retarded.
6. Shut up and pay attention!

If you don't follow these steps.

1. You'll sit down beside some random freak.
2. You won't notice your friends are around and you'll feel all alone.
3. You might save some decision making time.
4. You might end up standing up because of the lack of seats.
5. People will think "What is this retard doing, changing places?"
6. You'll end up disturbing people.

These awesome steps are brought to you by me.
P/S: You don't wanna look retarded, don't you?

Easter

2010-04-04T16:42:00.005+08:00

Ok. Jo, im not gonna start my blog with "Sorry for not being able to update my blog because.... bla bla bla~..." But I'm gonna start in a different way. I'll get straight to the point! Hehe..

Easter!

What comes to your little mind when you think of "Easter"?
Eggs? Bunnies? Chocolate?

Eggs are a symbol of rebirth and new life. It symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Here is what Easter is all about. Its the day that Jesus raised from the dead! Guys, he actually rose from the dead k. He is alive! He is risen! Hallelujah!

I still remember the times when I celebrated easter as a child. There would be easter egg hunts, chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies and candy. Children would be eagerly waiting for the doors to open when they would rush out to collect as many eggs as they can find! Within minutes, all the eggs would be found and they would be all ready to eat them. There would be lots of fun and games lined up for us. And that would be the day which I ate the most eggs and chocolates. Full.

But now, I don't even eat a single egg on Easter. Anyway, don't mind those eggs. Easter is supposed to be a day of rejoicing for everyone around the world. Its the most significant day of the year for Christians. Even more significant than Christmas! Our Christian faith is based on the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. It is proof that....

Our Lord is RISEN!!

Soon

2010-04-02T19:16:00.003+08:00

Its april.

Gonna be heading back to Singapore again in 2 weeks time. Hope I'll be able to do something meaningful during this 2 weeks while I'm still around.

Soon, college is starting again.
Soon, I'll have to make new friends again.
Soon, I'll miss many people again.
Soon, there will be tons of stuff piling up again.
Soon, there will be tears again.
Soon, people will talk again.
Soon, stuff will be out of control.
Soon, emotions will crowd in.
Soon, things would be screwed up.

I hope 2 weeks will pass slowly. Although I know it won't.

Camerons Camp

2010-03-24T21:19:00.002+08:00

Camerons. Cold air, sunburn(ouch), fun, food.

A brief summary of what happened in Camerons. Tmc Penang Myf went to Cheefoo. Nice place it was. Learned a lot from Dr Samuel Ong. He was a great speaker. He taught us many songs and tried to make the sessions as simple as he possibly could.

Dona Nobis Pacem.

One funny thing was, Dr Sam did not believe when I told him about my dad. Haha. Untill he asked uncle geam liang. Wow!

Btw, I really do not understand some people. They just like to talk crap about others which i really do not like. These people have yet to experience what it feels like. Oh, and have anyone heard about "limit". Yes, it is kind of a barrier that if you cross it, may lead to unwanted consequences.

That's all folks! Till we meet again. Waddup!

The "Hoilday" Season

2009-12-24T14:17:00.002+08:00

Hello to all those who read my blog. Sorry for the long disappearance since my last update. I was busy with exams and had nothing to update because all I do was study.

For those who don't know, I'm back in Malaysia now, eating all the good and cheap food. I was happy to meet my family and friends here in Penang once again. All those people who were studying in other parts of Malaysia also came back for Christmas. This time, I didn't drop by at KL due to the lack of time. There is only a 2 weeks break for me and I will be going back to Singapore again on the 2nd of January.

Apparently, this holiday is supposed to be enjoyed because of X'mas and New Year. Unfortunately for me, its a time to catch up on my studies, complete projects and study for the test which is coming after the holidays. Some type of planning my poly has, no sense of logic at all!! They are so result orientated. I can just go on complaining about how lousy, useless, pathetic my academic timetable is, but since Christmas is near, I guess I won't complain.

I hope that besides all my work, I'll still enjoy my time back here in Penang. Till the next update.. BYE!!

Some random stuff..

2009-12-01T17:44:00.005+08:00

Hey people.. Sorry for the two or more weeks of no update.. Was lazy to update and was often out and busy with too many things.. Now i'm having problems on what to post because too many things happened the past 2 weeks..

Ok.. Let me start with last week.. Last week was e-learning week.. Which means we gotta stay at home and study online, which I don't really like.. So.. I managed to finish all the modules on monday because I was gonna be busy the whole week.. On wednesday, I went with Daren to celebrate his birthday.. We watched "Gokusen The Movie"..

Super lame show.. And its in japanese.. Haha.. Quite funny too.. My rating 2/5..

Than on Thursday, I went to KL early in the morning.. Had reunion dinner with my family (mother's side).. Had a good time at the restaurant just talking and catching up with my cousins and relatives.. Just getting to meet everyone was nice.. The best part was to get to see my family, my dad, mom, and two brothers.. Although it was just 3 days, I was glad to get to see them..

Came back to Singapore on Saturday.. Because the next day was my church's 30th anniversary.. Had a good time just watching the kids perform.. They were so cute especially when they sang.. These innocent kids are so fortunate and have nothing to worry about.. And there was this dance that I was involved in (no further elaboration is needed).. After service, everyone went to this restaurant to have anniversary lunch.. Had a good time and was full to the max.. The food was okay.. After that we went to watch "New Moon" at Plaza Singapura..

This show kinda sucks.. I was disappointed.. It was just a mere love story between Bella and Edward, very little action.. The ending was the worse.. I think this movie is just to attract the girls with all the hot guys in it.. My rating 2/5..

The next event is the Youth Camp on this Thursday.. I guess i'm gonna have to skip some lessons just to attend the camp.. Oh well.. And next 2 weeks is the common test.. OMG!! I'm so dead.. I have to do better this time.. To all the Christians out there, please please pray for my exams..

So i guess i won't be able to update my blog for a while until my exams are over, which is the 18th of December.. And i'll be going back to Malaysia on the 19th in the evening.. Until then, adiós!

Updates..

2009-11-15T23:13:00.005+08:00

Sorry ppl for not updating my blog as often as i used to during the holidays.. Nowadays, I've been busy with projects, assignments and other stuff.. So i'll only be updating like once a week.. I'm getting quite busy now.. All because of the tight schedule in poly.. But I still make time to relax and chillax with my friends..

On Friday, we went to watch 2012..

It was a nice movie.. One of the longer ones which I've seen in such a long time.. Nowadays, shows are getting shorter, like 1 and a half to 2 hours only.. 2012 is 158 minutes long which is like 2.63 hours.. I don't want to spill the beans for those ho haven't watched it.. So i won't be talking about it.. But its a movie worth watching.. My rating: 4 of 5.. :)

At night i went to orchard.. Lights were everywhere.. As a foreigner, i was mesmerized by the awesomeness of those lights which I do not get back in Malaysia.. I was taking pictures non-stop and my friends were like: "All these are normal for us la. We've been seeing it for years." There were a huge Xmas trees set up around and the lights were dazzling along the road.. The best Xmas tree was at Ion which we could go inside and "star gaze" - we didn't actually gaze at the stars but there were super nice lights set up inside.. It was like paradise.. B-e-a-utiful!! I'll let the pictures do the talking since I'm out of words to describe the place..

These are the lights inside the big Xmas tree at Ion..

On Saturday, we went to this nice pub at Singapore Flyer.. It was a christian pub.. The band there rocked the house.. They were all pros.. I especially admire the pianist - super talented.. He was awesome!! Here is a video I took of them.. They were playing "More Than Words"..

Now another week is approaching.. I hope that this week would be a good one.. Gonna be busy again with all the work and stuff..

And last but not least..

All the best to all the SPMers.. "Do your best and let God do the rest!!" I'm sure u guys will do well.. Take care of your health too!!

Things I did the past few days..

2009-11-08T18:55:00.008+08:00

I'm currently out of words for my Bcomm (Business Communication) presentation tmr.. I duno wat else to say.. Hope i'll be able to think of something to say soon.. Anyway, i did quite some stuff this past week..

I was dead tired on friday, 6th Nov, which was my birthday, haha.. In the morning got S & W (sports and wellness), volleyball.. Than went to Singapore History Museum for CATS assignment.. These are some random pictures.. Took too many to post all..

Although I don't like museums, I liked this part the most.. FOOD!!

Laksa and Char Kway Teow

Chicken rice

Satay

Satay also

Some herbs

After that, we hung out at Plaza Singapura, went to play pool at Parklane.. Haha.. I've improved.. But overall, i managed too get to know my friends better and bond with them too.. Cool huh? But i laugh untill my stomach cannot take it d.. After that I met another group of friends, Johann, Abel and Ryan.. Went to Ajisen to eat ramen.. Was super full.. Wah, stomach pain again from all the laughing.. xD.. Duno y that day i was so high.. Didn't take photos cos my hp memory was full took 170+ pics in the museum thats y.. Lol..

Went home and the next day, my legs were hurting from all the walking.. At night we celebrated Johann's birthday.. Haha.. Surprise successful!! The food was nice.. Had a great time.. Got to know a few of Johann's friends.. Super tired when I went home.. Haven't recovered from friday's tiredness..

Overall i had a great weekend.. Thanks to the people who made it awesome!!

Update..

2009-11-01T21:11:00.003+08:00

Sorry guys for the one week of no updates. I have a reason, and it is because i was sick for the entire week. I have absolutely no idea what caused me to be sick or how i got this sickness. After the post below, I thought that I was alright and healthy again. But I was wrong. That was just a mere "warm-up" and the real thing was just about to begin. I fell sick and went back home half way after lunch in poly. I felt that my head was hurting and burning. When I reached back home, I realized that I had fever, headache and sore throat. I immediately rested and found it hard to even get out of bed. The next day, the fever got worse and I was suffering like a stupid stray dog in bed. My temperature rose to 39.2. I went to see the doctor and she gave me medicine and 2 days of MC.

The following 2 days was bad. I began to have gastric and vomiting. I also felt dizzy and felt it hard to walk straight. I ate medicine and rested, hoping that i would recover as soon as possible. But I was wrong. On Wednesday, I went to see the doctor again because I couldn't eat and felt like vomiting if I did. This time the doctor gave me more medicine and 2 more days of MC. My tempreature had subsided by then and now I had to deal with my stomach. I had a cough too and my sore throat was still there.

Amazingly I forced myself to go to school on Thursday and endured throughout the whole day because I did not want to miss so much of the lessons that were going on. When I reached home, I found that my temperature was 38.8. It went up again! I immediately rested and ate panadol. The next day, I was feeling much better in the morning and could go to school to play volleyball. Haha. I hope that i wouldn't get sick for a long time (especially in Singapore). Right now i'm still having a cough, sore throat and a slight headache. I would like to ask those people who are reading this (if anyone even reads) to pray for full recovery so that i can catch up with my school work. Thanks!

Finally, I would like to THANK all those who have been praying for me and who are concern for me! :)

Our God is an awesome God!!!

2009-10-25T22:13:00.002+08:00

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God

Hey people.. Something weird happened to me today.. Even right now!! I'm not quite sure how to put it in words but i'll try my best.. Here goes...

Today i went to church as usual on every other Sunday. I was feeling normal. Totally normal. During service, suddenly this headache attacked me! Wow. It was just a normal headache like the usual ones i get occasionally. I thought, okay, i'll just endure it until church is over and go home and rest. But than, during our youth bible study on Daniel, i felt terrible. I felt like there was someone pressing onto my head and the pain was unbearable. Ouch. Than went to take a panadol and hoped that my headache will go away or at least just subside a little. But than, it got worse. I had no choice, but to just endure till bible study ended. I felt like i was getting a fever too. I could feel the heat coming out from my head. And i was also having a sore throat although i drank quite a lot of water.

When it ended i felt a little bit better. So i decided to stay back with some youth and watch a video. After we watched it (which we didn't finish cause of the time factor), we went for lunch. During lunch, the headache seemed to be getting better. But there was still pain which i endured. After that i went home.

When i was walking back from the bus stop, the terrible feeling came back again. The feeling that someone was pressing against my head, fever and sore throat. The pain was terrible. When i reached home. I messaged david, asked him for prayers and immediately fell on the bed and slept until around 7.30. I didn't have quite a pleasant sleep though, since i was in such pain but i managed to get enough rest. When i woke up, it was a bit better. But the pain was still there. I took 2 panadols this time (extra fast). After my bath, i was feeling better too. My uncle than took me out for dinner.

Okay. This is where the awesomeness starts. When i was out, i felt like the headache and fever had disappeared. I suddenly felt energized and felt like doing something fun. Weird? Yeah. I felt like a different person. Someone with a new personality. That was the first time i talked so much with my uncle. I also dunno why. I think it was God who was behind all this. He is really working behind the scenes. This is the first time I ever experienced Him answering prayers almost immediately. I thought I'll only feel better tomorrow or something like that. I didn't expect to get better so fast! It was awesome! I hope that this "new personality" would continue to sustain in me. :)

Thanks to all those who prayed for me! You guys rock! Thank you Lord!

PS: Sorry if this post was too lengthy. But i just felt like sharing it to you people (at least to those who read my blog). Feel free to give me comments on my cbox! :)

This song is so true..

"A Lonely September"
by
Plain White T's

I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back

I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight

I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did

Update..

2009-10-22T21:29:00.002+08:00

Its been 4 days since school started.. I'm adjusting okay to life here in Sg.. Although i can feel the stress here, but i still gotta face it.. There was not much homework this week.. Since it was the 1st week of the new sem, there were no tutorials for some subjects.. So i still could sleep in late for certain days.. Hehe.. But next week it'll be starting at 9 everyday and 8 on friday.. Swt.. Have to get used to waking up early again.. So far i haven't met my tutorial group people yet.. I'm looking forward to meeting them.. Hope they'll be friendly.. If they're not, I am.. Haha.. So there will be school at 8 tmr and i hope i can get up!!

The funny thing is that my eyes are feeling sleepy now.. Getting heavy.. Its like gonna close soon.. Its only 9.36 now.. I wonder why.. Guess i'll have to sleep early tonight.. Good night people..

First day of skul..

2009-10-19T22:31:00.003+08:00

Today was my 1st day of the 2nd sem in poly.. Everything was new.. New teachers, new lecturers, new classmates, new friends, new subjects... It was quite interesting although i felt sleepy during the lecture.. I got to meet new friends.. And gonna meet more later.. Hopefully i would be able to be involved in CCAs this sem.. I wasn't involved in any the last sem because i was still adjusting to poly life here.. Although the schedule is cramped and tiring, CCAs are also important.. I hope this sem will be better than the previous one..

Tired..

2009-10-16T21:29:00.002+08:00

Phew.. I'm tired.. Really tired.. Just reached Singapore this evening at about 6pm.. Had find my own way back to my uncle's house all the way from Changi airport.. Carrying all the luggage, i had to take mrt and go on the bus.. It was quite tiring.. I still can't believe that i'm here.. But i'll have to go on with life in Sg, although i'll miss everyone back in Msia very much.. All the awesome people in church, those in KL, and my family.. Well, im currently having an emoing session at home.. xD.. just I'll have to get use to it here once again la..

Back to Singapore..

2009-10-15T12:27:00.003+08:00

This would be my last day in Malaysia.. T.T.. I'll be leaving at 3pm tmr for singapore.. I can't believe that the holidays are coming to an end so soon.. Its just like i was back 1 week ago.. and now i hav to go again.. Well, its back to the hectic, stressful, independent lifestyle.. I'll have to adapt to life in Sg once again..

There will be many challenges awaiting in Sg.. A new semester means, new subjects, making new friends, and new teachers.. I'm just so tired of making new friends now.. Since the beginning of the year, i hav constantly been making new friends here and there because of many things - shifting, JS, and going to Sg.. And i'm trying my level best to keep those friendships i've formed years ago with my other friends.. Phew!! But i really do treasure friendship and will do all i can to sustain it.. Friends mean the world to me.. If i hav no friends, i don't think i can survive this world (and i guess everyone feels the same)..

The holidays here in Malaysia was a good one for me.. I managed to catch up with many of my friends back here in Msia.. I had a fun time with you people.. But time passes so fast that i didn't even realise that the holidays were coming to an end untill i found out the date, and my parents were telling me about preparing for the new semester and stuff.. Why do they just keep reminding me that the holidays are over.. T.T.. Anyway. i'll be back here in Malaysia for christmas.. Yay!! Although during Christmas, Singapore is awesome, but i have no choice but to spend Christmas in Msia.. Hopefully all the decorations would be up before Christmas and i would hav a chance to go and see them especially on Orchard Road..

So, i wanna thank those who have spent their time with me during my holidays and made it meaningful and fun for me.. And ALWAYS remember to keep in touch via msn(on nearly all the time, except while im sleeping), skype, facebook, etc.. Those who don't have my msn, pls do tell me.. Haha.. If some of u are thinking that this would be my last post, its NOT!! I'll continue updating so that u ppl know what i've been up to in Singapore..

And....

All the best for those who would be sitting for exams!! Especially SPM and STPM!! Gambateh!!

Idiots..

2009-10-14T22:12:00.002+08:00

There are some ppl whom i really hate..
Those ppl who make use of u.. They pretend to be ur friend and ask u to do things for them.. Then after a while they just ignore u because they don't nid u already.. They think u are some kind of robot that does things for them..
Another type are those backstabbers and those ppl who gossip behind ur back.. Whoa!! I really HATE them.. Backstabbers just stab u and don't care how u feel at all.. When u're in trouble, they stay away from u.. And those who gossip are the worse.. So if u wanna gossip about me, don't let me find out.. If not.....

Sick..

2009-10-13T21:45:00.004+08:00

I'm sick.. My stomach had been giving me problems since last nite.. Thought i would feel better the next day.. Slept unusually early - 11pm.. Woke up.. Still in pain.. Felt like vomiting but couldn't.. Endured the whole day untill now.. I wonder whats happening.. Its been so long since i hav gotten sick.. Maybe its my stomach's attitude, it doesn't want to go back to Singapore i think.. Hope i'll be better tomorrow..

Update...

2009-10-10T10:42:00.003+08:00

Hmm.. My last post was on the 2nd.. Dats like 8 days ago.. Sorry ppl.. I had nothing to update, seriously.. This holidays had been quite boring.. All i ever did was stay at home.. Nothing interesting.. But these few days i became a driver.. Swt.. Had to fetch my brothers to school and stuff like dat.. I kind of like driving, cos its fun.. But i think i'll get tired of it once i drive long enough.. Since i cannot drive for the next 2 months in Singapore, i want to drive as much as possible now.. Hopefully i won't forget how to drive..

One thing i don't like about the poly is its weird holidays.. The holidays are not the same as normal school holidays.. I acknowledge that there are more holidays in poly but the timing is just so out.. When everybody else is in school, that is when my holidays will be.. and when everybody has holidays, thats when i'll be studying in Singapore.. dats so annoying.. Imagine having just a 2 week break for christmas.. and having exams during Chinese New Year.. this is what u call torture!!! i just can't believe how they can let us hav exams during CNY!!! so inhuman.. ish..!! Where is their sense of time?? I just hate how the put the holidays...!!!

It will destroy ur health and kill u slowly.. Its like jumping into a lake of fire.. Even though u know u're gonna die but u still do it.. Stupid rite? And if u r trapped in it, its super duper absolutely hard to get out of it!! Imagine getting trapped in the lake of fire.. What can u do? other than screaming for help and hoping that someone will come to rescue u.. U can't do anything!! So basically, just don't smoke.. (don't kill urself)

Computer addicts..

2009-09-30T23:51:00.009+08:00

I've been wondering what in the world makes so many ppl addicted to the computer nowadays.. So i've analysed myself and i dont consider myself addicted to the computer.. I think computer games are BoOoOoRingggg!!!

Do u consider urself a computer addict?
Well, according to professor Jun Arn's research, there r 3 stages of computer addiction..

The 1st stage: The "primoaddicts"

These people still hav a sense of time and reality.. They don't actually just sit in front of the computer the whole day.. They still do things other than being on the computer.. But these people are in danger of falling into the next stage..

The 2nd stage: The "secaddicts"

These ppl are obviously worse than the primoaddicts.. They hav no sense of time.. They don't even know wat time of the day is it.. They onli stop for meals, sleep and toilet breaks.. It is very hard to get their attention and sometimes they don't even hear u.. Luckily, they r still aware of reality.. When they r not in their cyber world, they still act like humans..

The 3rd stage: The "tertiaraddicts"

These ppl are hopeless.. They hav no sense of time and reality at all.. Not only r they not aware of the time but they are also not realistic.. If they are ever away from their computer, all they can think and talk abt is computer, computer, computer.. Sometimes the even pretend they r the characters in those computer games that they ply.. These ppl can never step away from the pc.. Some dont sleep or sleep very little..

This is a true story.. There was once a guy who was so addicted to computer.. He played 3 days non-stop of dota.. No food, no sleep.. After that he was so exhausted that he died due to lack of rest and food..
Scary rite? So those who r aware that they r addicted to the computer please seek advice from others immediately!! It might just safe ur life!!

PS: If u think this post is crap, pls ignore it...

Sengoi trip..

2009-09-22T22:04:00.009+08:00

Sorry for no updates ppl. I just hav nothing to write these past few days. The most recent thing I did was going for the Sengoi mission trip last Saturday. I had quite a meaningful time there but i had to wake up at 5.30 in the morning. Ish..!! The journey there was terrible for the 1st part untill i changed to the car. I sat in the van, listening to the noisy ppl dat were chatting away, laughing at their own lame jokes. I tried to sleep but couldn't at all. And there were nobody to talk to. There were some elderly ladies and some small kids at the back, nobody my age at all. Only Jason who was sitting in front and sleeping. Swt.. The worst thing was the coldness and the seat i was sitting on was slanting to the left a bit!! So uncomfortable. This is the 1st time going to this kampung. It was better than the other kampung i visited b4. This had electricity and had brick houses. Unlike the other one i went b4 which had none of these.

These two kids won't talk at all. Do u think they are cute? Lol..

Hmm.. Teaching the children their abcd's.. They look so happy..

This food was nice.. But the truth behind it.. Ajinomoto.. Swt..

This is a very nice, cool, awesome, fantastic, chun picture..

Wow..

2009-09-18T23:01:00.002+08:00

Wow.. I just got my exam results today.. I wanna thank God that I passed all my modules and that I don't have to retake any modules. It would be disastrous if I had to retake any. I was relieved. Phew.. Although I didn't do as well as my other friends (they did really well... swt..) or as well as i wanted to, I'm still grateful to God that he lead me through this. I will make sure I do better the next time for my other modules. Haha.

5 steps for good friendship..

2009-09-17T17:36:00.003+08:00

I read this from a magazine. And I want to share it with u guys. Some of you may be struggling with friendship like I did last time and you might want to know how to be a good friend to others. So here are the FIVE steps to ensure you're the type of friend who won't let others down.

1. Treat your friends like you want to be treated
Think about what you want in a buddy and then be that person to others. Put yourself in your friends kicks. This is the first step towards a long-lasting friendship. If you do this, everything gets much easier. If your friend is in a tough situation, imagine what you will feel like if you were in his/her place. Then think of what you would like others to do if you were in such a situation and then do exactly that for your friend.In this way, you would be the best friend anyone could ever imagine.

2. Get over the groups
The quickest way to stop friendship is to think you are better than someone else. Maybe you are avoiding someone because he/she is not in the same group, even though you know you could probably help him/her with something him/her is going through. You can never know, his/her friendship might turn out to be priceless.

3. Be slow to point fingers
When someone does something wrong, the first thing people often do is point it out to him/her or someone else. Before pointing a finger. think again. First, decide why you want to point out someone's flaws. When someone hurts you or does something wrong, let you anger simmer down before you say things that you would not normally do or say. If you need to comfort the person about what he/she did, talk to him/her about it ALONE.

4. Be secretive
A cool way to be a super friend is to do something nice for them on the sly. It's always fun to get a secret surprise from a friend and to find out who the culprit is. And if you do things without expecting anything in return, one day
you'll get a better thanks that you ever imagined.

5. Be trustworthy
When people trust you, they believe you always tell the truth, that you want what is best for them and that you will never betray them. A good friend will always try to help you until you succeed. Always tell the truth and do not betray your friends because if you do, you might lose your friendship for a very long time or even lose it for ever.
