Visit To Chen Su Lan Old Folks Home

The bus stops at a fairly big white building ... The building was pretty old and true enuff ... the person in-charge says that the building is undergoing renovations soon. Two kids are studying at a table nearby. Well they aren't really shy ... tink they are excited abt us visiting them =). Well we brought some goodies for them and my 1st impression was 2 help them clean up the place ... ha but ... it turns out differently.

Well, let's say we've become tutors for the day. We are supposed to help them in their homework , studies .. etc .. So .... ya we began to teach.

Well, for me ... i got to teach 2 little girls .... my guess is their in p2 and p3. The one to my left [ Jiali ]was a real lazy bum. Teaching her was hard. She is quite a hyper-active kid. Shel talks alot ... , doesn't like to tink and expect me to find all the answers for her. And when i slowly guide her ... she'll suddenly do other stuffs. Well the girl beside me on the right is much " tamed " haha ermm wrong word .. more well-behaved i must say. She at least bother to think and i can guide her through the sums easily. ya btw .. we were teaching them Fractions. u noe addition, multiplication etc of fractions. It aint hard to teach those .. :). Well watching all of the kids learn and at the same time .... , chatting wif them + tutorin them , is quite interesting. It's like some of my childhood memories are revived and suddenly i am back to my primary sch days. it's where we'll compare whose mouth is bigger .. which superhero kicks butt .. blah blah. But there is something different btw this crowd of kids .... they are either from either poor or broken families .... One of the kid infront of me who was tutored by my friend suddenly cried ... [ silently tat is and not those boo-hoo-hoo*sniff*sniff* kind]. I was thinking she might cry because she felt fustrated that she could not do her sum .... or she is thinking abt her family. Her ohana. Well ... i certainly hope tis kids will really progress and had a good future nxt time :)

We left the place around 4 ... where it's time for the children to have their tea break. There'all very excited. All of them hurried off ... pack their bags ... and went off to have their snacks. We went off and took a bus to Ang Mo kio Mrt control station. ya tat's all 4 today. =)

somethings in life ... you do ... you do ... and u do it again ....

wad is wrong wif me

they are things that when u look back in life. .. when u ascend to heaven (or hell) ..

when u flip back the pages of yr life .... you'll be like " damn !" dat's me

questions like *bam* .... why am i doing this

*bam* What the .... why am i in this situation

*bam* Wat's so caught up now .. is he so hard not to do whatever i am doing

Well .... wad am i babbling about this time ...
An argument broke up in my house ... tis time i really lost it ..
I screamed, yelled .. really spilled out my anger .... right at her face
I said some things that i am not very proud of. but dun worry .. no obscene .. vulgar words involve..
but i tink it's still nasty ... especially to her ....
i feel bad .... bad about wad? ... screaming at her .... ya
saying those nasty words ... ya ...
but above all .. it's like .... i lost this sense of guilt ... the guilt of feelin bad over it all
i dun feel dat terrible ... i feel crazed .. angered ... boiled up .. at that time .
i wonder where my sense of guilt went after the incident
maybe i am still consumed wif anger ...
well tis lady ....
i would say is my dear grandma ...

Maybe it's time i shld share abit abt my family ... my grandma has been waking up everyday at 5 am for the past years .. well ... decade. She is my personal alarm clock dat i took for granted. She doesn't look old ... not tat old ... but deep inside her she is old .. she washed clothes 4 me ... and cook for me ... did housework ... all by herself. Now she can't wash the clothes ... she cant life heavy stuffs or exert herself ... so i have to take up my own responsibility. I had constant disputes over very micro-minor issues. The thing is ... she's very kan chiong ... worried .... driven by worry. She wanst be to do the housework 1st ... before i play com game .. watch tv ... bla bla. So i always tell her i will do it .. but at my own timing. And den she will go nag nag nag .. and sometimes blew up dat i sometimes really [--]' men she has to relax ... but am i the one being too relax .... true enuff i am.

The dispute tis time : pouring the water from the boiled kettle to the thermoflask
Argument : I will do it later ...
Counter-argument : She wants it to be done quickly ... or else water will cool down ... tomorrow's water wun be as hot as b4.
Rebuttal : i will do it sooon .. enufff .. wun wait till water cool to room temp b4 i do... lemme finish my task at hand 1st

and the dispute go on overy small issues ... in my life ... in this house ... in everything dat i tink there isn't a need to argue. Maybe i should abide and not defer the command of authority.[ from the book under-cover .. respect authority ... most of the time ... it makes no sense but it work out better than we plan]. i duno.. it's haiz .... ok back at tis time ... i actually did it right after her nagging .. and the most *grrr* thing happen .. mu clumsy hand knock over a flask of container .. containing water ... cool water . and so it spilled until the kitchen is semi-flooded. My grandma pop up at the door. her face change color ... $%^#$&3$%@#$ and there she really scolded me like mad. And den i lost it ... at tat pt. Somehow .. she tinks i poured the wrong kettle of water .. end up pouring on the floor .... [--]' dunno wad she toking ... i told her pls stop naggin ... and when she still continued ... i retaliated. really blow up. explode. haiz. now my throat feel sore ... and antoher matter struck me ... while i was cleaning up the mess ...

She's talking on the phone .. it's abt my grand pa. Somehow he was in hospital ... and den ... it occur to me. She could be worried abt grandpa. Tat's y she's so easily irritated when things are not done properly. though now my grandpa and grandma dun tok to each other ... as in they live their own seperate world ... from the kitchen .. i can still hear her voice of concern.

Men ... wad a boy i am rite ?

So Far Away - StainD
Lyrics:

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
cuz i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all in the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today

these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

somebody shake me cuz i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me


hehe i'll do abit of advertising here ...

SFC --- Saint For Christ
Well it all starts at Chaplin's Hour ... where all the saints gather to sing praises and worship. Today we also celebrated Soo chin and Yihui's Birthday. Men they got so many presents liao ... *green with jealousy* hahha nah kidd'. So i got to eat this nice chocolate cake ... which is fabulous :P ... and men both of them got the biggest share .. *green with jealousy* x2 ... haha .. Anyway .. we tok tok den later i went to makan. After that .. i went for my very first Saints for Christ meeting. [ for yr info .. it's my new CCA now :) ] cool men! I signed up for the prayer ministy in SFC ... so i would be doing alotta praying =P

After the short meeting, we had bible study .. and i got into Marvin's Cell group. He's a pretty funny chap with lots cranky jokes. So we got to learn about love - thru Humility. Humility is putting others b4 oneself. And the general message is from the verse in Romans 12 ~

"For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith"
Romans 12:3

Well upon entering SFC .. i've also learnt abt a disturbing news ........................... it's abt division among SFC members ... hmm more precisely .. among christians in our school. In my perspective .. SFC is divided into different groups due to diff church background. It is somehow vague to me how serious is this divide. But i noe some city harvesters from my church seems abit divided from the other christians from our sch. I need to find out more b4 i comment. And Samuel .. SFC president brought out a certainly good an important point ~

"For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ."
1 Cor 12:12

And if u read on ...
"14 For in fact the body is not one member but many. 15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. "
1 Cor 12: 14- 26

Basically, we are a team ... more strictly speaking ... the body of christ .... We cant really do without being together as one force ... and one family.
Somehow .. i feel that the ciry harvesters in this sch is divided from the saints family. I am determined to resolved the issue and hope for the better :)

"For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith"
Romans 12: 4-5

hehe looks like i have blog out another biblical essay :) ... For my christian Friends ... pls look and take caution of its words. For my non-christian friends .. errr reading kills boredom ? haha err dun b'cos of tis shun away from my blog ... Anyway i encourage u to read ... y? cos u may neber noe how tis words may somehow appear helpful in certain parts of yr life. ok i need to do some serious studying liao ...
Adieus ............

Lamey Jokes to Lamify yr day .... Old joke from de net =D
I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restrooms at a rest stop but, I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassedly: "Doin Just Fine!"
And the other guy says: "So what are you up too?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh I'm like you, just traveling east!"
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question.
Can I come over to your place after while?
Ok, this question is just wacky but i figured I could just be polite and end the conversation.
I tell him, "Well, I have company over so today is a bad day for me!"

Then I hear the guy say nervously...



"LISTEN!!! I'll have to call you back,
there's an idiot in the other stall who keeps
answering all my questions, bye!"

Results ...

Possibly my saddest day of the week... Today's the release of A0- Chinese Language results. Well how well did i do? The sad news is ... i got the lowest result that anyone can get for A0- Chinese .... ya tat's rite .. C6. Well god did bless me with a good news with this .... Earlier this week.. M.O.E. announced that the NUS AND NTU University admission ctiteria has changed. Chinese and SAT is disregarded or not considered as a subject/criteria for uni admission. However, the student must at least a D7 to enter the university. Well Is this supposed to be good for me or bad ? Having a C6 for Chinese in my result slip. Well .. a freind of mine has mentioned that Chinese is important to Companeis who needs employees to travel or go overseas to Mainland China for a project. The ultimate question bombarding me now is .... should i retake A0-Chinese ??
