Christmas Story - Church production.
Haha ... really nice performance by the Chior.. our very own city harvest actors and actresses as well as the musicians ... not forgetting the special effects team. Really great... Matchable to TCS production i must say =P. Well, it'll be good if they carried out the X'mas Drama production before X'mas day ... where the x'mas spirit is still rich and strong. Nevertheless the church staff really work hard to bring about the success of the play. So did the mobile Carolers who went about the church singing carols and really dancing to the tune!! :) I am glad that i saw one ofr my primary school friend - Boon How there ... too bad his twin brother boon keat aint there. :P Well haha .. it seems like my whole blog entry today is about Credits for our church stuff.. but really they i did an aweseom job ... You will agree if you were there with me. I emjoyed myself ... got free dougnuts and drinks at the end :) [ sponsored by the church. ] Men i have to start doing homework :P

Finally the pay check is ready .. have to go down to pluto tech to collect our pays tomorrow
X'mas
Today is supposed to be my happiest day in this season. I get to eat great food from my uncle's place ... Fried noodles ... pizzas .... colesaws ... bread sticks ... X'mas log cakes .... so much more good and yummy food. I also get a chance to see my newborn baby cousin .. Grace :) ... amazing grace indeed. She was very happy to see so many people in the house and you can always catch her bright happy baby smile.My uncles says she likes clocks. It looks to be she likes people. My uncle confirmed that. She is really adorable. After feasting, we watch one chinese drama on TV which is pretty lame .. but effectively funny. After that , i went home with the remianing log cake, some kentucky fried chickens and fried noodles. So far so good. The day is quite well spent and i enjoyed myself.

Later, i went to watch some performances in Esplanade. We are supposed to watch a drama, some carollings and a musical. Well, we were partially late but we managed to watch a group of chior's performance there and then. They sang really well and it is quite entertaining.. watching them liven up the crowd's spirit with their songs. A while later, i met the rest of the gang .. so now there are a total of 6 of us. 5 guys and a girl. We witnessed another performance by another group of chior which was pretty cool too. The sway side by side while singing and they got some of the kids to dance in one corner. cool rite?? :). Some of the gang left for a while to find our cell group leader ... and at the same time eat somewhere as well. I went to explore the place for a while to find the location of the next performance. Sadly i can't find it in my 1st exploration alone. On my 2nd go, this time with Ah hui, we manged to find the drama performance near the colours of the bay. We watch for a while before karista, our cell group leader, contcted us. We met and got to found out they had to leave 'cos it's getting late. And later we found out some of the sisters that i invited who did not turn up ... actually turned up but din join us. Instead it seems like they are avoiding us. At this point of time, i was really saddened and disappointed by their attitude. Well, i got again a strong feeling which came back from the chalet ... that people did not like to attend the activities that i organise. And even with the group that i am with, they don't seem to enjoy the carolling's at all. Well i don't wanna explain why i felt like that. Maybe i am thinking too much. But maybe not. So it that period of time .. i seperated from the gang ... and watch the performance by myself[ which is the last item of the day : Caroling again since we missed both the musical and drama performance. It ain't that bad watching the performance by myself. At least i don't have to care whether others enjoy the performance or not. Well you might think this outing is just hearing carols and all. But to me, what i observe from the performance is that different bands of chiors have a unique way of bringing about the carols and x'mas songs. It's not just about the singing ... it's about their expression . The performance by the Vocal associates, which is the last caroling chior i am listening, is quite different from the previous 2 i have witnessed. The 1st one was erm.. quite normal. The 2nd band was quite jolly and youthful. And the 3rd band was abit more matured and they do not focus so much on synchronised singing to produce the effects that chiors normally produce. They instead have very good vocalist to lead soem parts of the songs. Some of the carols, they had soloist to sing it. Don't be mistaken that i have insightful knowledge of chior bands or deep understanding in this kinda art. All i know is i appreciate their music.

And at that point of time .... i made up my mind ... not to invite any friends of mine to such concerts or performances. Well i rather appreciate them alone by myself than have to worry about whether my friends are coming etc.. At that moment .. a pretty little soloist was singing Have yourself a merry little Christmas. And ironically, i wish i could. I don't know wat's wrong with me but this small little stupid things just make me feel incompetent and .... i dunnoe. I just sat there and listen to that vocalist singing and the other lady playing on the musical keyboard. The gang joined me later to watch the band finish the rest of the chior

Have yourself a merry little Christmas ...
Let your heart be light ...
From now on our troubles will be out of sight ...
Have yourself a merry little Christmas ...
Make the yuletide gay ...
From now on our troubles will be far away ...

After the last performance.. we made our way to suntec to watch LOTR : The Return of the King. The show starts at 1210 ... yup a midnight show. Very nice show i must say. The best installment of the season. The war-epic is cool. The storyline is fantastic. The twist is there at times. The fighting scenes are sensational. The grapics are great. And the ending was quite suitable for the show. I must say the ending movie for the triology is A must-watch for LOTR fans!! the show ended at 0330. Pretty early rite ?? There aint a single bus back home for us!! Even the NR [ Night-rider] Bus are not servicing today since they only serve on midnights of fri, Sat and eve of public holidays. So in the end ... we slept at Esplanade .. The gang slept in the outdoor theatre. For me, i prefer to sleep next to the sea. It was cooling ... and noisy at first. I did my quiet time there ... real nice place to do my quiet time. Then i stare at the sea for awhile before i fall away to sleepy-land. I was soon awoken up but it isn't bright yet. My friend said that we can now take the morning early bus or MRT home. We walked to City Hall MRT ... and the gang took MRT home. For me it's a bus ride home to doom. I didn't get the chance to tell my grandma how late i'lll be back. So i got alot of scolding from her when i am back.I reached home at 0615 and i began to sneak into my bed. What i am really irritated about her is that she likes to compare me. She tells me none of my uncles are so naughty and rebellious like me. But i mean i cant come back after the show ... since all the bus service has been halted. haiz ... trouble trouble .....

~Eve oF X'mas~
I just came back from chalet. Very tired. Slept very late last night as i actually intended to learn guitar lesson from miss wan of our cell group. We ended up singing X'mas carols and worship songs. My cell group chalet, was really activity packed. We actually planned everything ... from the activities, food-wise to the sleeping area of the brothers and sisters. But what i think i must say is, i dun enjoy this chalet as much as my class chalet. It seems like things planned din work out well for us ... or maybe for me i guess. I cant stop thinking about what when wrong and the process of disappointment is just too great. Sometimes ... i got a such a strong neg feeling that people do not appreciate my work ... or that people have little faith in me. Well my doubt is somewhat confirmed on X'mas day

Sunday, December 21, 2003

Men ... hmm since its over 12 ... yEsT~~ Was The X'mas concert and men out of all 7 or 8 friends i have invited ... only 1 showed up~!!. Menz, definitely i felt disappointed ... budden wat to do ? So we went to CHC for the X'mas concert and boy was the place pack. Really Ren shan ren hai [ people mountain people sea . It was so crowded dat we had to start queueing from basement 2. The service is at Basement 4 [--]'. So there we go .... i met some kids who were students of our cell group leader. Tink about 7 of them are there. We went down togetehr to start queuing. After a while, i felt hunger bangs ... and so i nudge my fren to go up with me to buy food. Zhiming also followed me up to buy food from the cafe. What we din realise is once you come out of basement 2, you can't go back there because it is too crowded and the management put a limit on pple entering there. So sadly we ended up queueing in the 3rd storey~!. Haha ... not so bad anyway cos i get a chance to meet turtle~!! and also catch with a old friend of mine who work with me in EXpo in Sitex. He is also invited into this concert :)

Well, luckily i managed to rejoin my friends later in basement 4 ... and get an opportunity to sit in the front rows :P. Soon the service start ... and for the 1st 1/2 hr .. we did the usual praise and worship. Soon .. i realise that actually the concert wasn't totally a x'mas concert. It was more of a pastor sun's concert. So my freind and i was abit shocked. We get to learn a dance move frm that concert and get to hear pastor sun's great testimonial which really moved me. Her experience was somehow ........ haiz anyway i am glad she pulled thru' her odeal and become such an influential person today. The concert lasted for 2 hrs ... and at the end of it we had free ice-creams :P yumzz. Anyway, i had a great time .... :) got x'mas gifts from the sisters and Chua our regular host for cell groups. :) thx for everything ... dun think i'll be bloggin for a while until after X'mas ~! So meRRy X'mas my Friends ... & God bless~!

" I have to knock 100 doors, and 99 of them may close, but the 100th door may open. And if i didn't knock on those first 99 doors, then I would never have found the one that will open for me" =)

Thursday, December 18, 2003

Hope i can bring the X'mas spirit into his heart :P ... I shared that present with my friend Ron . I also bought gifts for my mortal [ u noe the angel - mortal game ?? ] and also for gift exchange in the upcoming chalet. SO I AM OFFICIALLY BROKE ... [ not too broke for one more event : Watching : LOTR ] hehehe =P

Match With AJC - Hockey
A fantastic match ... y .. cos ... hmm i shall say the outcome 1st :P .. WE won !!! haha 1-0 to AJC, even when 2 of their seniors [tat is the J2's hockey players] are he;ping the, .. .when our seniors didn't help us at all. I must say we have an excellent goal keeper .. and everyone really played aggressively today against AJC. One of the senior is abit violent .... the way he swing his stick ... certainly shows he meant business. We also scored the most number of short corners .... ermm to the opposing team ... haha which means they get alot of chance to do short -corners at us ... [ short corner is something like a corner kick in football .. erm dunno how to xplain .... but its something like tat ] Well, i am quite blur in the match ... so i played pretty badly ... there is a "leg rule" that is if the hockey ball touches your leg ... yr team lsoes possession. So i got leg TwicE~!! in a row :(. Well my friends are not surprise since they seen me foul alot of times during training. Anyway, a good game :P

Haha ... and one more thing ... my hockey stick fell into the mrt track. Boy did i really panic when i found out that the hockey stick wasn't in the train .. and not on the platform as well .... it fell into the gap between the train and platform ... The worst part is its my fren's hockey stick 'cos i am in-charged of their sticks temp. [ dun ask me why i am i/c of their sticks .. its a long story ] The mrt staff told me he can only retrieve it in the night .. where the service is close. Menz ... a real crazy day ~[@@]~

At first i feel okay .. den soon i had stitch ... so i felt terrible ... and later my legs become really tired. We did alot of sets .... including sprinting up the stairs exercise. well i am glad i din leave any undigested remains of my lunch in delta complex. :)

The begining of 2nd day at Downtown East
Well i woke up at around 9pm :) cool timing huh. Tink all my frens tink i am a pig in de chalet ^['(oo)']^( )~~ Anyway, hong, moo, dan, gambit and kiang were deciding where to spend de day after our late breakfast. We pondered on whether to go swimming, or to go cycling .... or go eXcape themepark ?? We went Xcape in the end. :) Well basically we tried simple simple rides at first like those merry go round - superman version ... We also tried de inverter .. a ride wheere u will be spinned 360 deg and even hang momentarily upside down. It wasn't really exciting ... but more of aching cos of the pressure of the seat barrier on my thigh. We also tried Go kart [ which we split ourselves into 3 groups to join other party of four infront]. And guess what ... we came in first for all 3 events or racing. hehehe ... we also tried pirate ship ... the ride which never fails to give me the falling ... zero gravity effect . After the rides .. we bought some drinks and went back to the chalet to rest. I found out today that my little finger has grown bigger :). Awesome men. I called ny friend to buy clamaine lotion to stop the itch on my finger. Thru'out the day b4 de barbecue... i watch ppple play heart attack .. [ cant play at this state] and listen to jay chou songs. Very boring indeed. When i went down for de bbq, all de satays were gone... Seriously speaking ... the bbq really is bad. No planning at all. All last minute buying of tools and food. Really disappointing.... and erm hungry at that point of time. I ate potato and Otah only out of de bbq. No chickent wings .. no satay ... no hot dogs ... haiz ....

After my bbq dinner, we went Xcape again to try other rides. The queue was really short now .. at around 9 compared to tat during de day time. We tried the indoor roller coaster and wet and wild .. which really is wet and wild. We took lotsa pirate ships at the end cos its the most enjoyable ride afterall. We went off at 10 back to our chalet to join de rest of the gang.

After a while, we went off to the beach .. and men .. the night scene was simply fabulous ... there are lotsa stars .... i can see the orion belt .. and blah blah from there and planes flying by. Ships moving slowly across the horizon. The sound of ocean waves washing the shores. The breeze was real cooling. We stayed there for quite a while .. talking crap ... but cool crap ... eating potato chips and admiring the scenery. We soon went back to the chalet and we met back our friend .. who went back to take his Xbox games... !!! cool men .. so its gaming time for us .... We played a ninja kinda game which is very very funny and most of the time i was laughin my heads offf rather than playing the game. The characters were cute and well animated ... and the game is qutie easily picked up. Totally cool game i must say. We also played versus-kinda games and games whioch fight zombie .. I watched my friends played for a while b4 i finally succumb to weariness and fall asleep.

Short update about the next day
Well nothing much ... we check out and went home straight.
Well what i must say about this chalet is that it is really fun ... i must say despite the disappointing attendence and the bad planning. Well just hope i dun get stung in the near futute ................................................................ again .

Start of 1st College chalet
It was an action-packed day men. The meeting time was scheduled at 1300 and most of classmates arrived at 1330. Well, tat's ok cos i went to check in the room at chalet first with my uncle ... since he is rushing off for work later. Well i discovered a cool thign that Downtown East invest in deluxe room - a Xbox in every room ! Coolz men ... the only thing is non of us brought any games ... so we used itmostly to play audio tracks from CD. The rest of the day was ... i would say very eventful. First, after i went pack to meet my friends, we went to buy food for de barbecue and of cos drinks 2 for de chalet. Afte that, like all chalets that i've been to, we played blackjack, dai dee, bluff and heart attack . Well this is when jf and the rest come and join us in the chalet after their game of pool. We played the number game to see who gets the unlucky number. Well the punishments are quite interesting so i shall try to recall exactly what he says. "The loser, if he is a male, will have to go to the opposite room with a comdom [which he brought] and say.. " Do you have other sizes ?" For the girls, they'll have to do the same but they'll say " Can you fit into one of these?" yah that should be what he said. Well one unlucky girl got the grand honour to walk to our neighbouring unit to say that lines. haha well it was quite a blast and really its funny...Well the good thing is those people nextdoor happen to be people we knew[ they are from SAJC too] =P. Well i can tell you i definitely prefer this punishment than the following two punishments. For the next round, the loser if its a guy, has to parade around the whole chalet with a girl's inner-wear .. worn outside. Well dat definitely beats the prev punishment ... doesn't it? [--]' for the girl's punishment .. i cant remember =P ... cos the turnout happens to be our lucky boy jf ... who thought of all the spendorous punishments. He promised to wear the inner-wear later so we played the game for the last time. For the last match, idea again by jf, the loser has to kiss someone in the room. Wooo cool huh .. this should be interesting .... nice to see some *smooches* btw my frens ... wahahhaa ... well if i know what will happen next .. i will definitely take back my ...erm thoughts :( ...

Dun worry i am not the next victim to this treacherous punishment. The same girl who went next-door for the " comdom speech " got the deal. She seems very excited. Well unfortunately, somehow ... we have to play a deciding match to find her a person to kiss. Well, eventually the supreme winner of this match happens ...............................................................................to be me [--]'
Well this definitely is a conspiracy. My friends handed me condolences after another. i prepared for the worst . haha dun worry i am not saying she is a bad kisser or she is very unpretty. But ... haiya ... there were cameras here and there so i dunno where to dodge. soo ..... in the end ..... the action took place .... but i dodge the kiss ... but in the camera .. maybe b'cos of the lightning ... they thot i got kissed. Okay enuff fuss over this kissy fissy matter.

We went to play soccer after that ... We played at pasir ris park grass patch with the people nextdoor. The field was really muddy but we continued on playing.. And oh ya .... haha jf won that "inner-wear" out to play soccer. That certainly drew attnention from both the guys and de girls. Good thing for him is it isn't that crowded at the park. Or else ... haha .. Anyway, we played soccer on the muddy field ... and it is seriously funny and fun. My frend, moo, slided 5 times in the whole game on the muddy patch. His normal white white pants has obtain a new cool brown color. the opposing goal keeper was .. i would say really cool and hot. He played well .... biut at the same time get his white outfit a brand new shade of colours. Well an unfortunate thing happen after that ... was that moo lost one of his spectaccle lens on the muddy field. We comb and circled the area to find the missing lens in the dark [ cos its nightimenow duh ] And sad to say ... the shadows and mud patch are really making the situation worst. Eventually, the search was called off and everyone went back to the chalet. This is when i cant believe my luck/or maybe blessing. :)

I got sTung by a stupid little idiotic bee agian!! cool rite. 16 years of my life i got nothing .. and on my 17th year i received 2 stings ... this one ... was 2 months after my previous sting!! this time it was on my little fingle. How can i be so sure it is a bee? Actually i did not see the bee on my finger ... only felt the sharp pain on my little finger. Took a look ... saw a lil' needle-like sting ... Pluck out the sting ... and ran back to wash my hand with soap. Well i cetainly hope it ain't a bee but the fact that i am typing with my swollen little finger right now + confirmation by my doc .. dispels all my doubts. Men bet u can't be as lucky as me ..

Later in the night, we played blackjack ... this time with money. I started with a humble 5 cent bet ... and i eventually rose up to 60 cents :). Haha the banker was very fustrated with my betting because mmost of the time i lose my bet, which is only 5 cents and out of the whoel match he has to pay abt 80 cents and only gain 5 cents from me =P. Well after all its only a game .. so i dun bother betting big. Anyway .. i cant remember how i spent the rest of the nite.. The gang were playing dai dee ... mahjong ... with cash ... while i was eating potato chips ... nachos to be exact. I watched TV ... watched them play ... tried to sleep ... slept ... woke up in the middle of the night ... they were still playing ... found out that i got colgate on my face ... armed my self with a blanket over my face ... went back to sleep again. Some of my freinds din sleep at all until 6-7 am next morning ... hmm anyway i still prefer to sleep zZz despite strong objections from my friends who seems to prefer to spent the nite playing cards and mahjong.

Haiz, I am suppsoed to go KTV today .. ehh from my memory database, i had only went to ktv once and that is with my family. Ha .. but in the end, i din manage to go KTV which i heard is in K-box ... got such a KTV? Well i had to settle the numbers of the chalet today and confirm the unit number bla blah with my uncle .. Well, i hate to say but i tink our chalet attendence is really pathetic. Everyone seems to have something on .. on either one of the 3 days. No one seems to make an effort to block up 2-3 days of their buzy schedule for our class chalet.. Where is the class unity men ?? in the drain ?? I noe the chalet cost is expensive.. and erm i din noe we can actually accomodate 20+ over pple in a room. If more people are unable to come .. the chalet cost/ individual will increase .. Ultimately dun tink it's fair for those who r going .. Well i ain't blaming those who really can't make it. Just hope our chalet will be fun... and action-packed ~~ o_O

Exciting Day .... SAT 1 Test exam

Well i was scheduled to meet my friend Ah Pei so that she can bring me to St. Francis Methodist School this morning. Well, i am not sure why but all most every exam .... i am bound to meet some troubles or problems. I was scehduled to meet her at 0730 in the morning at the stop after Bukit Panjang. In the end, it was at around 0745 when i reach Bukit Banjang LRT. Well the reason i was late was not because i purposely wanna be late to show that i am de boss :) ... but ..... partly because maybe i left the house abit later and also i miss the train when i reach the station [ had to wait for 10 mins (--)' ] Haiz .... Well her father was quite angry already ..... and guess what ... i am supposed to alight and change to another LRT ... dunno la ... stupid LRT system .... so i ended up in another stop ... I had to return to Bukit panjang ... and using a cell phone to receive directions to meet Ah pei... Damn .. imagine u made 2 person angry early in the morning before a major exam .. Sigh ... And her father did not scold me .... :(
Well normally if the person remains very quiet and calm .... liek serene .... ya u can tell that things r really wrong and haiz ... I actually intended to erm say " yo wassup uncle ... sorry for being late ar" In the end ... i apologise and just sat there thru'out the journey

Well well ... exams r always full of surprise for mez ... Ah pei told me we must wear college uni to school. Well then why is everyone wearin something other than the college tee ?? Haiz, we totally out of place. Well i am just glad we arrived in school on time ... and the rest of the SAT test was smooth - sailing =)
For the 1st-time i manage to complete the whole paper without skippin a single question. The last section ... section 7 was like primary school maths :) ... so lol very cool. But i struggled alot in the anologies and the sentence completion in the paper. Think i am going to lose a whole loadful of marks in tat sections.

Well, i spent my rest of the day in church and finisng presents wif my church friends .. for our church friend :) Haiz .. tired men had 4 hrs of sleep ... so i gonna end my blog with a full stop

Well for the last day ... the sales were erm really disappointing ... I sold only 1 computer and i am feeling really miserable at that period. For the 4 days, i have sold 5 coms .. not wat i expected since i was told by the manager that an average newcomer can sell up to 33 coms [--]' .. Huge difference men. The best seller was Harula [not the real name .. of course] .. who sold 11 coms ... nearly 3 times my amt ... sigh .. I earned all in all $140 of commission after spending 40 hrs in this fair. SO i am feeling very sad .. abit cheated ... =( WHAT CAN I DO !!!???! My customers who i talk my lungs out assured me they'll be back TODAY ... on sunday ... budden ... it turns our otherwise ... Well now i am feelin quite better 'cos ah hui told me there was another guy complaining that they had no commission for the whole fair ... so i guess there is always some1 unluckier than us .. and we shld appreaciate what we are given or blessed with.

Day 2 of Another day in Expo

Basically the same old things... but it seems to me today.. [as i am typing this] that most of the time, instead of promoting Desktop PCs or our notebooks, i took abit of my time to play computer games. They only have one game installed - Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo. It's not bad, for each mode, [ eg. Deathmatch, Capture the flag] they have 2 maps. I think most of the time, we [ the part-timers ] were playing as the people coming or visiting our booth is even much lesser compared to yesterday. Well it's not like i din't try to bring in customers ... but u know since our company is not a branded company like compaq and dell, most people aint interested..

Any interesting that happens today ??? Well not really .. I see the same old pretty models in the camera shop, same old faces in the booth, Same old customers who treat u like a transparent glass .. Haiz.. But there are a few little new things that i saw today. I saw the host for English version of Who wants to be a millioinare aka The flying dutchman and Glenn & rod brothers ... the one that goes " yo wassup brudda" in the Tiger-time advertisment .. ya .. lol they were in the compaq booth crackin jokes and obviously attraciting alot of customers !! We also saw Sonic the hedgehog who doesn't seem fast and serious but rather slow and pokey haha and we also saw the little dragon from puzzle bobble and the lil' monkey from i thin escape from monkey island ... and guess what they are promoting ??? yep N-Gage .. ANd yes i also saw my Sec school Friend from scouts and Mrs lim my SEc sch chem teacher. Ha .. i din noe so many teachers are IT-savvy :P ...Well tat's all for com-fair .. Come and take a look at EXpo .... Especiallyu my booth !!

My 1st day at Expo [ Part - time job]

Woke up in the morning ... had to travel to Changi region. I am supposed to meet Nig and Ah hui at Expo Mrt control Station. Ah Hui woke up late so he will be there late. We gathered outside Hall 5 beside Orange Julius. Well basically everyone looks ready and prepared to attack customers ... haha i mean attact customers to buy coms. They seem to have every com specs in our offer list at their finger tips. DARN , i really noe nothing about pc parts like SDram and blah blah ... lol so o am prepared to tok rot/crap.

The first few hours of the session seems to be like a give-out-pamphlets session. We stand at the door way giving our brochures to visitors since the Exhibition just started. Some visitors are typical Kiasu Singaporeans [--]' chiong for all the brochures... there are some who smile and take ... some who dun smile and dun take .. and some that just walk past you like you were even there.. Well basically, my pay system works like this, if i clinch a deal, i get commision and that would be my pay. The range of my commission is btw 20 - 40 per pc/notebook. I hope i can get 99 coms sold after the exhibition .. lol erm no la 30 wil earn me around close to $ 1000 .. hope i can get that sum :)

Well If you haven been to Expo Sitex Computers and Electronics Exhibtion, here's what inside. Xbox Games offer at around $390 with special bundle pack bla blaa ... Cameras from Nikkon and Pantax ... next to our booth :P and of course computer equipments and its variants. What else? U can see butterfly girls ... girls dressing in butterflies ... and Nig told me girls dressing in that attire must have nice butt [--]' There are lotsa nice models which to me aint tat nice lookin .. =) around most of the camera booths .. So if you are a Ji ko peh u better come ... lol kidd'

Well today i saw lotsa familia faces. Ah Hui told me Jelly and Garbra came to visit our booth ... I also met Mr Ho !! My SA physics teachers, Mr lim my 1st 3 months chinese teachers and my Hockey teacher-in-charge ... Woo dunno SA - teachers are IT savvy. MEt Jon too from my class and also little turtle who is very happy that she finally got her modem. haha Anyway the good thing or maybe not so good thing is i stood the whole day trying to lure customers, convince customers that OUR product is better ... and this earns me a $30 commision ... Which i feel is really really lucky or .. blessed men in a way 'cos most of us cannot clinch a deal. It's really hard men ... Imagining standing the whole day trying to convince customers who might not even have the slight interest in our PCs. :) SO happy i got 1 com and hope there'll be more to come :) Come visit Expo men ... lotsa things to see ... and if u need com, remember to look for me !! hehe Online marketting works ??

-= Job interview =-
Since i passed out my chane on a work attachment ... i've decided to try to take on a job with a reasonable pay.. Guess what .. we've got one 4 $10 / hr ... as a student coordinator. The job is basically to match a tutor with a child-in-need-of-tutor. Another + point is that it is home-basedand on-time, on-target. But if that is so ... how do they track the no. of hours u dedicate yrself to work ? I am abit fuzzy abt the details but we din want the job in the end after thinkin thru' a little. Firstly, the job requires training .. with a fee of $12 ... which is like for only 1/2 hr ?!! Secondly, we still need to go thru a week of 'trial period' where we work at home and match tutors with parents. In total we need to earn $100 of commission b4 we can be accepted. To me, i think it's abit slow ... and with so many student coordinators around .. it might be take us a long time to earn the money. Moreover, they did not say a place is definitely ensured to us if we manage to earn that ammount. Haiya .. i also dunno what is happening ... So we move on to our next target ,.... Selling coms !! :)

Dunno why today got so many com ads.

Nig, Me and ah hui den went to aljunied for the interview .. The company is called something like Apolotech Computer agency ... yah and it's intel-based kinda company. I'm not really sure what the company does ... The man told us that intel is very angry about Companies like Compaq, dell, blah blah ... using their chips they sold to them to make hardrives which are not compatible with the mother board ... something like that .. and this cos lotsa problems ... like com hang ... and so the consumers blame them ... [[--] got meh ?] Anyway, lotsa stories ... but the offer is good. Approx $30 of commission per com sold ... and they say most newcomers sold 33 coms which ammounts to $990 :)
It last for 4 days ... and dinner + training is provided ... [i assume training is free cos they din say anything ... but dinner is def free] And the best thing is ... we are accepted into the job !!! :) Ah Hui, me and nig were elated ... Woohoo ... we got a very nice job ... Men i can finally get my discman and pay my chalet money :)... Thank god men..

Since we are so happy, we wanted to celebrate and play lan at bugis. But a small conflict (which i shall not elaborate cos it's really erm .. small ) arise between Nig and ah hui which in the end results in a lonely journey home for me ... Haiz ... But i am happy i got a job. Anyone got tips on marketting ??

-= Hockey Training=-
Simply fantastic ...
The training starts at 7.30. When i was there .. i only saw mr. sinus and stanley ong [--]'
WHERE IS THE HOCKEY TEAM !??!? Am i saboed to come early??
Later, i saw ah Hui. He came specially to hand in some PW stuffs to his Supervisin Tutor.
He seems bery tired ... like just spend the night doing something ermm mysterious ... haha =P
Anyway .. i finally met a Ah Hao from hockey.. and soon more arrive ... at a later time of course...
Damnz .. all of them are late ... By the time the teacher - In - Charge arrive ... there were like only around 11 of us ... zzz ... Guess what we are goin to have next ?? yup 2.4 km run ...
I din sleep well last nite ... and i dunno how long i can last ...
Good thing is ... i last thru the whole thing .... without walking ... haha i noe i am pathetic ...
long time no practise ....
I keep reminding myself what Dr. Robert EKH said in the last service .. which is very impactful
" Thru christ ... we are more than conquerors" ... erm if any of u noe the full verse and which verse is it .. pls msg me =P
Ya... ... my timing was kinda terrible la ... 12 mins [--]'
Ermm ... and the best part has not arrived... We are all shagged after the run ....
Well, that's when the big blessing has arrived ...
We are going for a jog ................... jog ......................
jog around the neighbourhood .. approx 5 clicks .... [5 km]
Apparently, i began to pray feverously 4 god for strength ... blah blah ... cos i am really tired...
*din get to sleep well last nite ... woke up in the middle of the nite 4 no reason*

And so ... the faithful moment arrived.
We began to jog along a pathment towards NOL that stretch of road ...
Damnz ... we really make alot of turns ...that's not worrying ...
The part the really require endurance is when we start working against the slope .. and ya the force of gravity which .......... i shalln't elaborate ...
The good thing is ... well i actually felt better !!! :) during the run
It was a very slow run ... not as slow as turtle =P .. haha
but slow enough 4 me to recuperate .... really nice :)
At our 1st checkpoint i felt much better compared to the part after the 2.4 run
We went past lots of things ... an man ... i discovered another way to travel to school. .
which is by foot of cos :). The whole joggin part was actually much relaxing and better than the 2.4
The only part i can't stand was when we run past a bakery shop baking pandan pancakes ... haiz [--]

After the whole run ... i ran to drink gallons of H20 .... as i am really dehydrated ...
I rested for quite a while .. b4 i pick up my sticks and took some shots ... :P
And soon enuff.. i was back home again ... typing this whole load of .. i wun say crap ...
ermm precious thoughts and memories =D haha

_^ |-| /\/ | ) |=| `/

*woke-up* at around 9 :P ... time 4 cell-group outing ...
We are going Pasir Ris Park for a a little ride .... yah cycling la o"-o` ..
It was a pretty cool day .. there is no sun at all ... + bery windy ... = perfect weather men!!
So here we go ..1,2,3 ... erm 10 of us .. yaya riding bikes around pasir ris park ...
We rode to the maze garden ... *sigh* 3rd time goin... and den we cycled to the playground
The girls went to play the swing and the ...ermm and dunno what u call that ...
something like a less-challenging-type of flying fox swing ....
yupz .. and after that we cycled more ,, and stop at a small beach for a rest. We went for some photo-taking sessions .. with lotsa dragonflies flying around ... and mosquitoes buzzing by ... ha
We cycled here and there and everywhere ... until it starts to rain ... [--]'
Actually it's drizzling ... and i den somehow turtle and me got separated from the rest of the group ..
Men .. finally turtle can cycle ... good job men ... 'cos of this sensational achievement, we decided to attempt the fast and serious slope of pasir ris .... haha ..
i would say it was pretty cool riding down that slope =D
Later we saw this fun-fair-like thing and went on to visit it.
To me it was more like for a kid cum elderly kinda funfair... They sell some food, medicated stuffs and those accessory items i always see in chinatown ... Anyway we stop by for a drink and also to take a little rest admist the crowded and lively-atmosphere.
As we started paddling off back to return our bikes ... It started to rain again ... zzz
Wr scrambled through footpaths and bridges and quickly race back to the bicycle shop ...
We found back our group whom happen to return back to the shop at the same time.

Later, we went to eat at Changi food court. Apparently we all ate from poppeye ... which serves fast food which to me are quite Ex. cos i am broke :P ..
Well the meal was really fillin.. and i can hardly eat another scooop of coleslaw or anything there..
And then .. another pototakin session in de airport ... [--]' .. for no reason i felt really cold .. prob due to the cold weather and the cold drinks i had at poppeye.

And after all this i went home ... [--]' really broke so can't go out wtih the gang to watch movie ..
Anyway they are gonna watch Matrix Revolution ... =P men they made the right choice .. haha

Damn, turtle got to rolelr blade while i had to stay @ home and do pw ...
damn turtle's life is good. Anyway had yum yum beancurd ... i mean almond beancurd again today :P ...
taste good and yummy .. blessed taste buds.

something to share ...
"They say you can't save time in a bottle
but maybe you can."


Maybe you can save time in a bottle
Maybe you can preserve the love
Maybe remebering is as good as being there
No, you can't go back but be back
Maybe you can save time in a bottle.


Memories are substaining things. They give meaning and purpose
not only to the past but also to the present - and they bring hope
to the future. Take that bottle and open the lid slowly
Careful not to let them escape so quickly ...
Savor the aroma and draw strength from it each day.

Enjoy Yourself. These are the good old days you gonna miss in 10 yrs.

-=Oral Presentation=-
Well, we were the 2nd group to present during the oral presentation ...
The 1st group did quite well ... everyone answered nicely and perfectly during the Q & A ...

After 15 mins of break, it's finally our turn to present. Really kanchiong or very nervous.
One of the slides were skipped half-way to the next slides before the speaker could finish speaking the slide. I was in-charge of changing the slides ... [--]
Great mistake for the start ...
When it was turned my turn to present, well i just spoke de way i usually speak but abit louder this time. I fumbled or stutterted once in a while when explaining the technical solution for our plan.We scored another error again.. when my friend change slide before i could finish elaborating my poiint. Well i din noe tat at first until he told me after the whole thing. I was concentrating on finishing my speech. My speech reached about 6 mins according to my friends. The timekeeper well in a way "play cheat" and gave us extra time. Thankfully for that, at least i can finish my speech ... almost finish it i would add.

Haiz thinkin through our presentation, i think we did fairly well except for the part of coordination between the slide controller and speaker. We'll sure be mark down by alot for that part.

We later had PW meeting after the presentation. I am really tired ... since i slept at two last night preparing my speech=(. Well, i really don't understand why my pw members are so angry and so pissed with me. They went on doing something which i do not know. Asking them what they are doin now or what they want to do now is like inivting a bull to visit a china-vase shop.Men, can't they be understanding for once. If they think that they are the only ones tired of PW .. think again. It's like there's a bridge between is me and emr her and whatever she is thinking .. she is not sharing with me. Damn men i am sick and tired of understanding people who don't give a shit about me.
..... sorry for de offensive write-out but i am really fustrated with this project work thing. Just hope things could turn out nicely in the end

The Selfless Heart

Though you've heard it a thousand times before,
the essence of love is giving
Give... of yourself and of your time
Give ... encouraging words
Give ... surprise gifts
Giving ... is the spark that igntes the fire of love
You have the power to start a blazing of selfless love

Maturity begins to grow
when yo can sense
your concern for others
outweighing your
concern for yourself
-John McNaughton

Agent Smith :
"Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you are fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception.

The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why?
Why do you persist?! "

Because i choose to...

Hockey tRaining - pitch training
We went to CCAB pitch for hockey training.... Well
the it was drizzling when we are warming up. While we are stretching our calfs
the sprinkler system was on and de hockers were sprayed by water ..
Everyone was totally drench but we still contined our training.
We did sprinting exercises while being continuously sprayed by de sprinkler.
At the end of our exercises, the sprinkler stops. [--]'

Well the next part of the training was abit catastrophic
Though we did normal training passes and shooting,
under the hot sun, we were more tired than usual. [dunno y]
Though the sun dried us up, it makes us wet again in another way
[thru sweat lor]. My team lost all the games. Partly i tink maybe mostly due to my fault.
I got plenty of opportunities to score .. however i miss most of the chance .. only scored 1 :(
i couldn't receive most of my fren's passes ... damn pathetic.. and our whole team seems very tired.
Especially me. After the training, i was deadbeat.
Ps: my PE shirt split 2day .. well at which part of de shirt i rather not say

Well, the whole session ended at 4.. Kinda hard to rush down to service which is at 4.30 [--]'
I went with some of the hockers to CHC by taxi and we left at approx 4.40 i tink.
We reach there just in time to partake the holy Communion. Haiz, miss the prasie & worship
Today's message was kind of enlightening. A special pastor came down this week .. YEs... it's my most awaited pastor of the year ... HILLSONGS MUSIC AUSTRALIA [ to all christians-music listner u shld know this band] 's Pastor ~ Pastor Brian Houston !!

Short summary of his message

His message was about god's vision and how he sees us .. not just by the actions, but by our spiritual works. It's ok if we do not understand god's vision, so long as we do not manupilate or "spin" god's words in our own liking. If we befain to believe in god's vision even though we do not know truely what it is, even though many odds or logic are against it, god will surely witness this and bless us mightily.

Friday .....

It all begins with Chinese A0 -level examination.
Before the examination i was kinda *Lost* [--]
I misread my seating read ... so i was seen running around tables and chairs
finding a place to seat when everyone is seated down. ..
it's like playing musical chairs and u know you are kicked out, 'cos u don't have a seat!
Very awkward and ... nervous at that moment

When i finally settled down ... i found out that i sat at the wrong seat ....
den the great race began again ... i spotted a nearby seat and quickly sat there ...
and thank god it was the right seat ... [when i found out that number on the table match with mine]
Wat an adventure b4 a paper... !

Chiniese was ok ... but i hope i dun write out of point again for my compo ..
or else i am doom to fail my a0 chinese ... zzz
nevermind .. i have faith :)

After the exam i rushed to the toilet ...
they kept us for an extra 20 mins to check for missing paper ..
i had a good time at the toilet :)

After the exam, went to eat with niger , jun kai and jaryl.
Men i dunno why jun kai and jaryl keep teasing me ... but i can sense
it has something to do with niger ...
haiz .... i dunno what to say men ...

Well after this i met with my friend Euan !! .. yea ... long time no see
we went around the shopping malll and guess who we met ... Wing mun and
Desmond !! [ my sec school friends] Cool men. We chat alot before we parted and went to explore
some other shops. We went to see Fifa 2004 at popular, comics at comic shop, Liquid Creatine at Farm house [ is the name of the shop rite? sounds weird] and also to the house of humour ... which is dominated by girls... Euan started screaming #$%#$^& when he realise that. Trust me i have no idea it's those girly shop. Finally, we went to see MATRIX REVOLUTION .. For those who miss it ... i suggest u make time for the end of the matrix triology. Its full of non-stop actions and fighting sequels. Definitely worth my $7.50. Graphical wise .. it's better than matrix reloaded .. and less toking than that .. Heck all the newspaper ratings .. go watch it men!!
|\/| |=| + |2 | X
|2 |=` \/ () |_ |_| + | () |\|

OK after my dinner at Long john.. yumz
Euan went home and i went for my cell group meeting
I learnt about the different type of response to gospel outreach and prob ways of dealing with them
I also learnt that the gospel is a gift from god ... just like a gift from our friends..
We have a choice whether we can choose to accept it opr reject it. I believe the choice is given to almost everyone in this world.. if not soon. Well, it's a great message as it thought me how de diff resp i could get and how i might make use this type of response to reach out to people

In all things, your are much more than

Nothing can stop me from loving you -

Love always and unconditionally,

Well seems the whole of today, i have gone thru only the Chinese AO Mock exam and the Chem lect which i seem to be in a *daze* thru'out the lect..
Haiz ... feel like sleepin in lects the whole week ... dunnoe wat's wrong wif me ..
And every morning, i will have morning flu.... so mucus will start trickling down my nose in every morning lects. zzz. My fren has officially proclaimed me as a "plague carrier" and has armed himswlf with his pw file as a shield if i sneeze or whatsoever ... [--]'


Lessons learnt from cell group:
The value of testimony ... which i feell is really very impactful to me .. cos i remebered the time pastor kong shared countless testimonies which made great impacts in various people lives. I still remember the time he shared about a boy who break open his piggy bank to sow his share to church funds ... that really touch my heart. It's great to see how small acts like this turn out to be great testimonies and blessings to others. =D. Though i had a pretty tiring wek, the cell group seem to pull my spirits up and *revive* me. => Never underestimate the power of a small testimony...

Today i learnt lots of things. I am not sure if it's like wat they call "God speaking to me". I've learnt to made Confirmations in my decisions and set aside time to see to it, to pray to god to let him know my plan and trust in him that he will maxmise my time in whatever i do so long i keep to it.
God has also shown me thru Testimonies that we should not be afraid, tired, sad, whatsoever for our upcoming Exams and Oral presentation which is impt for our uni admission.
"Trust in the lord with all your hearts and lean not in your
own understandings, in all ways anknowledge him and he will make
your path straight"

Proverbs .. ermm cant remember liao ... this is the only verse i remembered from carpenter workshop in children church until now.. =P

Today can't get any better man ~!

Haiz, so tired today. I feel like sleeping in almost evry lecture.
And damn, i havem't revise chinese, i just got the 800 vocabs-words chinese book ... but haven't revise it yet. I feel so laggin behind.

Another fantastic thing that happen today was when i lost my friend's video camera. [--]'.
Can't imagine forking out 1000+ for that camera and losing our interview report in the video tape ...
Luckily a kind soul return it to the office and i manage to claim it from the office .. whew [-.-]"
Well, exactly after this incident my friend and i just found out we lost our pw file. Apparently it was lost in Lecture Theatre3. Well, my legs are aching over the hockey training. We had to run up and down to look for the servant to open the LT for us to retrieve out file. haiz soon it became clear to us that one of our frens must have took it home cos we couldn't find the file ... and yup so it is...
Haiz it appears that everyone is losing things here and there in SAJC..
For me, i am losing my head c[xx]o

Haiz ... A great way start the week with MONDAY....
Basically, today seems like a very blur day...
everything around me seems to be going on so fast .. and my brain is like stuck in one corner ...
unable to think or move with the flow .. haiz....
For PW today, i seem abit blur at what is happening .. its like my members are doin things and processing ideas faster than me...

During hockey, my passes and shots are soo ... light and weak .......
Futhermore, we had a sorta match today where we must make 10 successfull passes to another player without getting the ball intercepted by the defenders. Its 6 passers against 3 defenders.. Somehow my name is always being mention by the coach ... for well bad passes and ermm ya ..

Today had to meet the fren too... well i was sorta late ... and she was kinda angry .. and i dun blame her cos she came all the way down to pass something useful for my chinese revision before rushing home for her dinner. .... zzz

Wat a "nice" monday
PW ... Never know the girls in my PW group can be so effiecient.
Well, before i came to school today, i have a hunch that something will go wrong with our Written report. And guess what, ..............

Well we have lotsa problems, one of which is b'cos of me. I copy and paste the implications of our project in the wrong file. And i send the copy to my fren for printing and binding yesterday nite, not knowing abt it till the faithful day arrive, yea 2day.

Well, we made lots of major changes to our project and eventually, we have to skip our Chem lect to finish up the printing and binding of our project.
This is relly insane .. it's like those never-ending marathon cos since yest we have been rushing to finish our written report. The girls had quite an adventure as they ran back to one of their house, dodging cars and manuevering(wrong spellin'? heck!) across streets to print and bind before 10 am ( our dateline .. maybe more of timeline). Well eventually at about 1030, we manage to submit our written report, both soft copy and and hard copy
[--]' .

Now i am skipping chinese to do my agenda for tomorrow's PW and type this crapload of stuff. Just wanna take a break... [-o-]"
Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent
and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

Wednesday .. argghh i thought we would be released early today ..
Well apart from TEAM SAJC members and students involve in lerning journey, everyone
must stay in school for a dialogue session with mr minister from ermm dunno wat ministry .. pardon me i wasn't listening =D..
In the 1st part of the dialogue was a 30 - 40 mins blah blah session,haha ermm speech by our minister on what makes singapore tick ,/ and not cross X.
The Q and A was more interesting. We touch on issues about gayism, censorship and terrorism.
Samuel, SFC president spoke up on how he feels about apermitting gayism in out society ..kinda what i expected and what i agreed on too. =D
There was a little gurl from art class tink a22 whom spoke like an typical american.[cannot stand her]
She feels that Singapore should allow full exposure of explicit materials in movies as educated singaporeans can be exposed to "art" ; Only pornargraphy on the net and cd's should be discouraged.
Well another guy voiced out that he disagreed totally abt what she say as he tinks this exposure might be good to good-minded people but would make "sick" people sicker.
Interesting huh ...? then the girl retort back fiercely with dunno what ... i din here properly but it is damn funny ... haha especially with the accent on. Reminds me of the dramatic debate in Soap Operas ..
The guy responded something like that. "If you really wanna expose to this art, go pornographic website and absorb all you want !" After that there was a round of applause and the girl appeared rendered speechless. Exciting huh ??
Haiz the rest of the Q 'n' A wasn't that interesting =P

haiz Chinese coming ,, zhe mo ban ?? zhe mo ban ??
Well the day go on as usual
"Don't cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself on your importance, but try to have a sane estimate of your capabilities by the light of the faith that god has given to you"

Rom. 12:3


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If i think you are important than i am ... and you think i am more important than you are ... and he thinks she is more important than he is ... and she thinks he is more important than she is ... then in the end everyone feels important but no one acts important ...

cool huh ?

Another day as usual ...
Went for morning service in the morning ...
Followed by doble period GP lecture and then chinese for 3 periods.
Really bored to death [xx]'

Well break was kinda ... ermm ya a break 4 me ...
We had 3 periods of break !!! Reminds me of my 1st 3 months orientation
when we had lotsa breaks ...
i treasured my time ..
~ 1st break for lunch & chit chat
~ 2nd break listening music in lib plus reading a nice book
~ 3rd break learn guitar ... cool man 1st time i tried making "noise" with an electric guitar ..
pity the people in the COR [^^] ..

Well after this break we had 2 periods of PW .... haiz
Another great thing happened..
My written report file was lost when my fren took out the disk while Word is opening the file.
I got really bored and start searching my frens names on the web to see if there are postings of their name on the net. Apparently our pw appears to be another break to me.
Finally, we end the day with 2 exciting lectures which i doze off and struggle to keep awake for the next 30 mins. The good news is the lecturer, whom is also out Phy teacher let us off early..
I can't wait to get back home to zZz..
Guess what .... i ended up playing com game.
When will i learn to stop tangling with com games ?¿?¿

Pride does go before a fall! It is not easy to balance the
two truths: "I must not be prideful, but I must understand
just how much God values me." Satan can use our self-
denigration, the worthless worm syndrome, to discourage us and
keep us from using our gifts for Kingdom work. On the other
hand, pride takes God out of the picture and attributes our
contribution to God's Kingdom to us and not to God.

Do not think
of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of
yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of
faith God has given you.

--Romans 12:3


=|crosswords|=
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes i wonder why god does not speak to me.
I prayed really hard when i feel really lousy at once and i simply can' feel what my leaders call " god's tangible presence"
I have realise one point, from Pastor Phil Pringle- God can speak to you in many ways.. thru your cell group leaders, thru yr christian friends and thru the church pastors. Sometimes it can even conflict with my own "desired thoughts". I mustn't lose faith especially when i cant experience god's presence or his words. I may be unable to feel his presence but i noe his presence is always with me, cross-examining my heart all the time, always pouring out love in my path. It's patience and faith that can lead me to it.

=|My Revelations|=
Monday
Well its not certainly not my favourite day of the week.
It starts with 2 periods of PW. Actually i don't mind PWing.
But i felt like the whole 2 periods is wasted by my CT who always wants to get our attention so that she can speak her stories.(not trying to be mean here but seriously she should give us some space sometimes)

Well PE was damn funny.
Well most of the classes were running and running but guess what ? Our teacher let us play softball !!
It was the all time boys against girls match but we all know the what the outcome of the match is gonna be right? ha~! The boys were outnumbered by the girls. Sadly, their futile resistance has sactisfactorily(is there such a word) earned them a point. =D. Victors will always remain victors. hahahaha getting abit arrogant here=P

Then comes Chinese .... 3 periods!!
Haiz and we are stuck in container block E without air-con for 3 periods.
Well the air-con is on eventually and the students agony is more disperse ( like u noe charge dispersal in chem). Chinese wasn't exactly my favourtie subject but i have to work hard to clear my A's. So i have to avioid stealing sleep class.

We had a break before we went for 4 periods of lecture. 2 for maths and 2 for chem.
haiz.. nothing interesting happen. Just fell like dozing off all the time.

*[Hockey training resumes]*
Hockey wasn't exactly exciting but was thankfully the training was less harsh.
We did the usual. Wack ball, pass ball, and play a friendly match, lose match ...
Reach home late .. just had dinner ... and here am i typing ...

I thank god for his extraodinary strength that is with me when i needed it.
Its is true that we cannot accomplish great task by our own mights but by god's unique blessing and strength. hmmm beginning more and more to understand this statement
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They
will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow
weary, they will walk and will not be faint.
--Isaiah 40:31

=|yet another impactful verse|=
