The suckiest friday ever (and its not even Friday the 13th).

Totally lost to no one else but myself, whether physically, mentally or emotionally.

Can't even run 2.4km properly.
Can't even focus on lessons and council without being distracted.
And all the dumb and stupid feelings i had.

Self-control.

It has occured to me that CNY has been nothing but just time for rest. No atmosphere/feeings of the festive season whatsoever.

Each year the festival seems to be losing its meaning, until it has almost become a dry holiday period for me. Pretty sad eh?

Thank God i don't have to chiong proposals like mad for the past 2 days (*points to council VP).

(insert smiley face, the one showing off his bright and white teeth like xD)

And my earpiece screwed up just when i'm contemplating to get a new phone, which means i'm out of music for the next few days. Added incentive to get the phone -.-

A sneak preview (make it two) into life in some unknown college near AMK Hub:

(Warning: two thousand words ahead)

1) Math lectures (especially in the auditorium) are so interesting and attractive that it appealed a lot to the insects outside, so much so that this cockroach decided to risk its life and make its way in. Talk about lively lessons (literally) huh?

2) The zomgwthbbqimbapwnz0r sex change washrooms. Once entry is permitted, you can have a change of your gender from a female to male and vice versa. Don't play play, you cant find these special washrooms elsewhere other than in the ancient campus we have.

One day a person named Joke fell into a drain and got mud/sewage/whatnot all over his body.

Guess what? People started calling him a Dirty Joke.

And i shall declare that jogging at night rocks. (insert laughter)

A mystery which i will never figure out.

The truth hit me hard indeed. But i will get back up, no matter how hard it will be.

One night: Finally had a good night's rest after weeks of non-stop work, and woke up feeling more peaceful and filled than ever.

Three weeks: Trying (and failed) to re-adjust my body and mind to the busy school life, along with continuous tutorials, council work and more.

One month: Put myself to the test and is proud to say that by God's strength, i survived it all successfully.

What a big difference this one whole month made. It put my life on the course of change, once again (and it's only the beginning of the year).

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" - Jeremiah 29:11

No matter what comes your way, regardless of what's going on right now, despite any worries or uncertainties you may have,

Trust in God's perfect plans for you always.

One day a person named Joke fell sick with a fever. Even though his body temperature was rather high, he felt very cold due to the sickness itself.

Guess what? People started calling him a Cold Joke.

One day a person named Joke was walking along the road. Suddenly, he fell into a drain and broke his leg. Since that accident, he has been limping around on only one foot.

Guess what? People started calling him a Lame Joke.

Put everything away, just for that moment to play ball.

There's no more looking back. Go straight for the basket and think of nothing else but to score.

And nobody said it's gonna to be easy.

The camera of life.

You can pose as long as and as many times as you like for a photo shoot. Idiotic faces, smileys and frowns, and many more.

The camera only takes a picture when you hear the 'click' sound though. Which means to say the camera manages to take only the picture at just one precise moment.

What has been captured forever in the picture is only that instant when the button has been pressed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Isn't it the same when it comes to the beauty, or rather the wonder, of life?

You have the free will to show anything in your life and how to go about doing it. But ultimately, no matter how successful or beautiful your life has been, your life is only defined by some particular moments.

If you led a dull life and made nothing out of life at that instantaneous moment despite a colourful life before that, sad to say but you will be remembered as one who has many things unaccomplished even though you know it yourself that you has been trying your best to make the most out of your own life before that moment.

These moments are hard to come by. And when they are gone, they are really gone forever.

So keep your smiles ever-ready for the photo shoot, so that although you do not have no idea when the camera is clicking, you know that the picture will turn out to be fine, because you have been preparing your smiles, not your frowns, for it.

In the same manner, don't let your beautiful life (given by God) be dulled by just that moment of frowning. It is not worth it, because you always have the opportunity lead the beautiful life you can have, but you have let it gone to waste (just only for that instant).

Smile from your heart, always.

Long time no see!

Haven't been blogging for the past week because by the time i reached home and had my dinner each day, i was already thoroughly drained with no energy left for much stuff. That explains my absence from blogger and inability to chat on msn.

Absence make the heart grows fonder. xD

Anyway, have been sleeping extremely late each night, catching less than 4hrs of sleep for the past 2 days. All thanks to some lame subject (i did not mention GP, did i?) that i have to complete my (overdue) work. And i have to sacrifice my break times and afternoons also to do homework, risking myself being labelled a mugger in the process.

Not to mention that Family Day planning finally kicked off. Shall say hi to late nights and bye to early dismissal and breaks.

TGIF indeed. Now i'm just waiting for time to pass so that i can catch more sleep later ^^ And i got my second try on the drum set on thursday! Awaiting bball on sunday too.

Ok this is getting nonsensical.

To sum up my first week in school, do look out for my msn nickname.

One year comes and goes, and tomorrow we will be back in college but as J2s this time round.

I admit i'm not prepared for it, with so many GP work left undone. And with a busy schedule each week due to many commitments, it's hard not to dread a new academic year.

Not to mention that i just got screwed up by my alpha teacher a day before school reopens.

High expectations, heavy responsibilities, busy school life.

Nevertheless, it's time to make a fresh new start tomorrow. I will commit my heart fully to making 2009 count. And to continue glorifying our Father in heaven in all that i do.

Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

I am so saddened after hearing this piece of (bad) news this afternoon.

(disclaimer: don't get a heart attack. I won't be able to help you)

WE GONNA LEARN MALAY DURING H1 CHINESE LESSONS WHEN SCHOOL REOPENS.

There goes our 3-hour break on mondays and early dismissal on tuesdays T.T

Went for a jog just now before leaving college for dinner. Truly, God's strength is more than enough for me. Even though i'm already very tired and physically drained after the busy Open House, i still manage to do 3km (not much i know) which far exceeded my expectations today.

For He alone is enough to sustain me.

"For He will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help." - Psalm 72:12

There's only one simple thing to do: ask.

"Everyday council council, school havent reopen yet you know. This week like week 0 of term 1 like that la!"

(quoted btw, i didn't say it)

Can't wait for school to start soon. At least there are many more things to do (not referring to tutorials).

But then again, my new school year is already so packed before it even started. -.-

"This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for people to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot." - Ecclesiastes 5:18

Find joy in all that you do.

而你断断续续唱着歌, 假装没事了.

"According to Dr Lim, a lack of sleep stunts your height and can also cause emotional problems (which may explain your ‘emo’ friend)."

There you go, now you know why i didn't get to grow tall or grow any taller now.

Monday - OGL workshop
Tuesday - OGL workshop

But i will still sing,

Better is one day in Your courts,
Better is one day in Your house,
Better is one day in Your courts,
Than thousands elsewhere.

Let me help, will you?

Oh gosh i've lost my first time T.T

Don't get me wrong, i'm talking about the first time i have sat on and played on a drum set, which is this morning. Though it was only for a short while, the feeling was...indescribable xD

A random thought hit me: in 2008 alone i've began to love many more new things, and to realise my love for some old things. Sounds mundane to you but it is actually a miracle for me to find out what do i really want most, because i've failed to find the answers despite years of searching for them =/

God bless.

1/1/09

New year resolutions? I don't have any.

Oh wait, i've made some commitments on the last day of OBS. But i forgot them already -.-

So I only pray that i can survive the whole year without getting really hurt.
