i just wana say, this blog aint dead!... im just simply on a temporary hiatus due to the up and coming examinations.


well, i must confess that its also got to do with me often being lazy to...=D


Well well well, life as a student, and nothing else but a student locked in the monotonous education system of singapore, has been pretty much the same as ever really. Not much to blog about school life. Well, except for the fact that ive realised how blessed i am to be in my current class. Met quite a few good people around, and yeah seems like an awfully mature bunch of friends. What more can you ask for than having such a dynamic class?(well, except that there are no girls around)
Which is good actually!

Anyway, spiritually, the past few days were quite challenging. Ive got this problem of thinking too much, and somehow i gotta curb it before it gets worse. May God be my helper.

A thief of always. Thats the name of the musical, coming this september (8 and 9). May all who reads this attend it!

Thats it for now, till the end of my exams will i start blogging again!

I just watched transformers last night, for the second time. An awesome movie such as this will probably never be limited by the number of times it is watched. i have to say, it HAS to be the best movie of the year, least the season. looks like michael bay did it again, even better this time with spielberg at his backing. Its got a good mix of action, humour and romance. amazing graphic, man if you feel like visiting the cinemas, you gotta watch this!!

i leave you with this song, "before its too late"- Goo Goo Dolls.

We spent the entire afternoon of yesterday shopping for BB equipment. Well, somehow a part of me feels that i should have done this months ago, and not now. Anyway, we're going back to serve, and it is exciting! I guess no matter how far we go from our graduation, we'll never forget where we came from, and sometimes, it feel only right that we render our services back to bb.

49 hit it!


Tiertary education seems pretty dull at the moment. Every second, it'll only make me miss secondary school even more. I was telling some friends, i wouldnt mind repeating secondary 4 again. Then again, that still wouldn't be the same without the same people around. Well, honestly, thats one of my official reasons for going back. Its a good way to keep in touch with st.hildas sec.

IT is a challenge to keep a blog "alive". haha.


Well honestly yes ive been quite lazy during the past week. yet its true that ive been tied down with school work and other things. Its Been quite an interesting week actually. God has been exposing me to different challenges that i thought i couldnt overcome. Well, this proves that God is sovereign and with Him, all things are possible. It only requires your faith!!


and 21 years of age as a minimum requirement for driving lessons? Thats insanity at its peak....

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

So, its youth day today and im sitting here in the middle of my school canteen awaiting yet another test thats about to start in an hour. Oh how i miss the youthful days!

haha, well it aint that bad actually, i always end really early on mondays (like it or not charxD). Yes its true when they say life is a day that doesnt last for long. One instance you're celebrating your 13th birthday and entry into a new phase of life in secondary school, and the next you're working. Sometimes as i look at the old folks we see everyday, i just wonder about how am i going to spend the rest of my life before i reach the point where i am extremely limited to life's pleasures. Its saddening sometimes, to see how the elderly spend the rest of their lives chasing meaningless goals and also to accept the fact that they are deteoriating. yes ive been thinking alot lately, in fact, ever since 2006 ended ive been thinking.

Her departure still pains me a lil. each time i look upon a family, a little girl, with her grandmother by her side, my heart still aches. Last friday, right after bible study ended, a bb gathering just a level beneath us was having a small performance by a single bag-pipe player. He sounded impressive, with all the notes and rhythum. just then he played "amazing grace".

I guess that song has alot of meaning and depth to me, especially when it is played through a bag-pipe. I was immediately reduced to tears. though its not much, they were still genuine tears of mourning, and at the same time, tears of joy. yes, God gave me that joy, that hope in Christ that we'll all meet again one day. and thats a day we can never even begin to comprehend because we live in a world that is severely damaged by sin.

so i guess, living a long life may not be a good thing. Sometimes i feel like i'd rather not live long at all, sometimes i feel like dropping dead now so i can be reconciled with my heavenly father. but then again, i know that his plans for me are certain, and i hope and i pray with all my heart soul and mind that i will stay the course of faith., and never ever lose it.

its hard being a christian. but a blessing as well.

School's been pretty much the same as the first semester. Except that our syllabus is getting a alot more taxing by the minute. Well,still that cant be compared to jc and i respect jc students for that. Just hope that i can cope well and get into aerospace engineering as my 2nd year elective.

speaking of which, i do hope that my present term 1 results have helped me in my pursuit for that elective. only 90 places are available among the cohort of 300 students. I guess it time to find my way back to the books again=(

I've noticed how much everyone(from sec 4 06) has changed over the past 6 months. the gap seems to grow inevitably bigger, which will probably reach the point where we no longer communicate. Its a sad phase that all of us has to go through, and for those who are still in secondary school, dont forget to treasure it. its the best time ur your academic life!

i'll probably upload some pictures of church camp 07 the next time!

I just got back from an amazing cycling trip. Yes, its been too long since i gave my hasa a lil spin...Man! nothing beats a ride to the east coast. It is infact, a great way of destressing. You'll notice that as you breeze past the routes, the solemn natural environment greets you warmly, allowing you to bask in the coolness of the sunset. The sight of birds returning to their nests , complimented with the striking red skies of the evening certainly leaves you, breathless.

alright its clear that i cant make it in lit....haha, but still, not bad eh?


Well, it seems that everyone's embracing themselves for another semester of education, some starting with the mid year examinations. Good luck for all who are taking the exams!

Yet in a way its sad to see how much we could have used our lives to glorify God, instead of the monstrous routine of studying. Such is the world we live in, sometimes i wish the last days of this world starts right now.

Afterall, everything's in God's timing.

Whoooo! I just got back from church camp! which explains a long absence of posts over here=) Thanks mira for being concerned! haha

Well, as always, or perhaps even better, church camp is that time in a year where we get to spend more time with each other and strengthen our bonds with one other, and at the same time, growing in God through his word! It was an awesome experience for me to have that privilege once again this year!

I could see that plh is possibly undergoing a revival! I hope we'll all encourage one another even after the camp to serve the Lord joyfully! Its been a joy to know some of my juniors better, and some new comers too!

The theme of the camp focuses on the book of acts where it shows us christians, how we must evangalise and preach the gospel to the rest of the world. Indeed we live in a world that needs the good news, and acts was described as the best tonic ever in existence. Ive learnt alot, and hopefully the same happened the everyone else.

i'm also amazed by how God actually used this camp to address some of the serious issues that pspc is facing. One of the sermons preached really striked a chord, and it was addressing the leadership of church and also the congregational members. I can only hope that pspc will not fail like the church of euphesus did, even though it is likely to. May God be glorified in all circumstances!

No words can really amount to how blessed i am to have attended this camp! i feel recharged, and im pretty sure everyone else did!

Finally! A semester completed! Had the last of the 3 tests today. Generally, its been quite a disappointment especially for ckt, yet except for dfund. Its the only paper that im confident of getting an A. Well, in any case, It all lies in God hands.

G.I.G.S was a lil crazy, but it turned out well actually. I guess we just need to be more tolerant of each other's style of work and hopefully we will grow as a team. im grateful for the number of new-comers, seems like a success. The talk however, was unnecessarily lengthy and topic wasnt that suitable. May that session touch the lives of those who were present.

What a difference, a day makes. I've learnt my lesson, and perhaps i'll stop trying.

i cant be bothered anymore.

Tests are coming. Gigs is coming. And i'm more excited about the latter! I think God is slowly and steathily changing plh, even though its quite hard to notice. But it mostly depends on each and everyone of us to make something happen. May God bless this sunday's service!

Polytechnic life is ,as many have said, pretty relaxed. Well, at least for my course. Yes there is freedom given to students and sometimes people tend to misuse it. On to the 6th week of school, and ive seriously never felt this relaxed since, ever... Tests are only made up of 3 papers over a span of 3 days. And each of them do not last for more than an hour. of course it'll get tougher as the days go.


cool life.

Yup, Ive decided that after a long pause, it would be good to start blogging again. I guess it really helps one to occupy himself and paves a way to express his thoughts .

So, to sum up on all that happened for the past 6 months, it was basically me getting into school after a long wasted break spent slacking=) Been through alot actually and God certainly exposed me to various tests and they weren't easy. But with God, all things are possible!

Anyways, gotta run. Cant miss the long awaited 49 chapter=D
