i resumed reading of the book that LS gave me in dec last year entitled "heaven is so real!"
(whoops. sorry LS!)
Heaven is a wonderful place / filled with glory and grace / i want to see my Saviour's face / Heaven is a wonderful place
whee. i'm suddenly reminded of this song that we sang in GB =) it is a place incomparable to anything on earth. MUCH MUCH BETTER ^_^
and i came back from the first day of first aid course. lol.
everyone else was from OAC except me and i thought YS was going -_-"
thankfully i saw HH while i was in the car. a familiar face ;)yay. PL rocks.
and i was looking at PL's website. i really took things for granted, like morning assembly and weekly chapel sessions and REW. and i had the urge to go back to help PL in some way next time. ahah. we'll see.

okay i've finished reading "My Sister's Keeper".
i must say that the ending was really ironic and slightly disturbing. i was really shocked. i shan't spoil the ending for those who haven't read the book XP
but what really struck me was people's need for love. they desperately needed love; they needed hope.
they needed God.
everyone needs the Lord. the God who loves us so much that He sent His only son Jesus Christ to die for us, so that we may have a relationship with God. God who IS love.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
- Philippians 4:19
=)
without God, i am nothing.

hah.
seems like i've neglected this blog for long enough =P
okay.
i don't know what to blog about.
there's guitar, 3 times a week. 9am-12nn (that's excluding exco meeting). and there's gonna be an uber long one tmr frm 9am-5pm (at least)
my fingers on the left hand are numb and thickened from constant practice but as of now, i can play four seasons reasonably decently =D
erm. my sister's kinda getting out of hand. sigh. shan't elaborate.
oh.. my parents are in china (again) so my maternal grandma is living with us.
something's wrong with me.

This was meant to be posted on the 9th of November 2006 but Blogger was facing some problem:
-----start of 091106 entry-----
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. -Romans 8:28
Okay. It's official. My OP is postponed to monday.
i'm feeling quite indifferent about it but i have faith that this would really work for the good of everyone =D
i still have to go for audience duty and hand in my gpf tomorrow though.
yeay! but my "celebratory" plans for the rest of the day are still on!
i went swimming 2 days ago. 24 laps ^_^ and came back aching all over but i'm feeling good! my neck muscle is still a little stiff from the backstroke i though. haha!
i went to run 3 days ago but stopped after 1km+ as i felt like puking =x
came home did some research, found out that it was because i drank too much water before running and there was this condition called hyponatremia or low sodium concentration in the blood. hmms. so people, to prevent yourself from puking or the pukish feeling during a run, be sure to take some salt solution before you start! ;)
-----end of 091106 entry-----
----- start of 111106 entry-----
YAY!!! i'm free from OP.
yesterday was a hectic day but to cut the long story short, we presented yesterday and skipped one audience duty ;)
i had a fun time after that ^_^
and i can finally eat my dark chocolates and read my books.
homework is on my waiting list... for now =P
wahahah! i'll do it during the week when my parents are overseas and they don't allow sis and i to leave the house for non-official reasons -_-"

oh yes. parachute band was great!
i had a really good time with EAT today ^_^
and i left my umbrella behind even though i made a mental note to take it when i left macs. seems like i havent learnt my lesson >.<
(i went to retrieve it after 5 minutes)
urgh.

seems like i accidentally deleted my
random entry. so here it is again, a slightly modified version.
scientists use "pseudo-"
economists use "quasi-"

okay, after putting up with goong-mania for a few weeks, i decided to officially announce my stand, and risk obvious uproar from avid fans of that which i mentioned.
i am absolutely against goong or any other drama serialand i believe my stand is justified.
i was 'captivated' by "wang zi bian qing wa" last year. i was so addicted that i would even get moody, throw tantrums whenever anyone disturbed me. it was absolutely horrible. very often, i would only realise the damage i have done long after i did whatever undesirable act.
hence, i told myself to stay clear of drama serials after wang zi bian qing wa ended.
i guess it kinda morphed into a
near excessive irrational dislike for drama serials, but i don't really care =P
okay, i give credit to drama serials for ocassionally showing, teaching or helping viewers understand the best or the worse of human nature, human tendencies and hopefully even help you to become 'more mature' in your future interactions etc etc.
but,
not being enslaved is amazing! it frees up so much time to pursue other
more enriching interests. you're free from the mental and emotional anguish of having to miss one or two episodes, free from exhausting emotional energy over a fictitious happening.
not being enslaved. yes. who wants to be enslaved? or rather, it is the question of
to what, to whom we're enslaved to?besides the material, physical realm we are living in now, there is a spiritual realm around us. and in this realm, there are only two sides. It's either God, or the evil one. There is no neutral party. Whose side are you on? Whose side do you want to be on?
You make the choice. This very important choice.I am a servant of the Most High God.

90th Entry!!!Yeay! YAY! I'm free! FREE!!! (from chinese, for now)
Thank God the paper was mangeable ^_^
I went into hyper mode just now when i reached home and made my mum go -_-"
ahaha. =x but the fact that i'm back home blogging so early means something else. i've got no life, or so it seems. i was trying to look for someone to go out for lunch with but everyone (those who take H1 Chinese) just had other things on. and i didn't have time to think about arranging with the non-chinese-ers before =P. So here i am online, sourcing for dates -_-"
any takers? lol.
oh yes. i'm currently in the philosphical/literary - humanities mood. ahaha! i've already compiled a whole reading list =P call me a nerd, whatever =P (P.S. you haven't seen the worse. my sister, a VERY unlikely reader, is visiting the library every other day, borrowing books all belonging to the same genre -_-" guess what? not saying. what do fourteen-year-olds like to read? go figure.)
So here's my list:
+ The Screwtape Letters
+ Drawing Near
+ Heaven is so REAL!
+ Mere Christianity
+/- Leadership by the Book
+/- The Secret of Ararat
- Brave New World
- Lord of the Flies
- My Sister's Keeper
- 1984
- Lost World
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Midsummer Night's Dream
- Sophie's World
- Sociology
* Basic Theory of Driving: The Official Handbook
^_^ i'm so excited! This is so cool. This is the first time i've ever wanted to read so many books out of pure interest during the holidays. Previously, i merely wasted my days away on the computer -_-"
Why the sudden interest in Literature and the like? Honestly, i don't really know. my hypothesis:
-> JC science and math repels me, unlike O Level science, therefore attracted to social sciences and the humanities
-> i don't have to take a Literature exam anymore. remove the stress, enjoyment factor increases. Literature for the sake of interest and enjoyment, not for grades.
and i'm planning to take driving lessons right after A Levels so i've already bought the Basic Theory Handbook, with my dad's encouragement ;)
Haha. to the guys out there: too bad! =P
haha. better get head start ;) so cool! i get to drive (with an instructor of course) once i pass the basic theory test!! whee! That's 1 year 1 month away ^_^
