I Watched...

Avatar today. It was quite a fun and nice movie to watch although the blue skin got a bit geli-fying after a while. Not to mention guys wearing G-strings... oh noes!

Yep. Faces like that the whole way.

It's an interesting place with unique concepts. They have USB-port-like hairs to interact with animals and the humans for once look advanced with those machines (In Terminator, the humans were lagging behind). Everyone was so blue, it was definitely a place where Beast in X-Men wouldn't feel left out.

The graphics and the story were good and it was a relief to see Michelle Rodriquez back again after some time. The first movie I saw her acting in was Resident Evil and since then she's slowly faded until now. The action part of the movie was also satisfying and for once the bad boss got an overkill. He was shot in the heart twice. Normally the bad boss does lots and lots of bad things before getting a mild kill at the end which would make you go, "WHAT?!?! Kill like that only?!?!". Not this one though!

For me, the only down part of the film was the colour of the tribe and their clothing. I thought they would wear more decent clothing than just some G-string. You got USB-port hairs so you can probably come up with better clothing!! And the scene where the hero and heroine were kissing just felt..... wrong.

Something like that. The main characters were in thinner versions. Imagine another hippo making out with this one.

Then again, it's just my opinion. They had to differentiate the humans and the aliens, so what better way to do other than change the skin colour and add some dots on the face? Good movie overall though. Go watch it when you have the chance okay?

Oh Ya...

By the way, I wanna thank those who prayed for me during my SPM. Even those who sent in an SMS or two to wish me all the best, thanks a bunch!

This is going to be another one of those acknowledgement thingy, so I would to thank my family for their continual nagging when I was procrastinating so that I would study.

Not forgetting some of the teachers whom I felt really really helped me. And also to the creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The names of all those turtles helped me gain some 2 marks in the Sejarah paper. The question was on the people who contributed in the Renaissance period and the turtles were named after these guys.

To save the best for last, God! He gave me a good mind to remember stuff and to do those dreadful Biology questions. 'A' or not, I still don't know. Anyway, it's over now and thanks again to those who even thought of me during the exam.

Then again, it's not hard to think of someone awesome like me right?

I'm Back...

From my youth camp! I enjoyed myself there. Definitely better than last year's (wahahaha). It was fun meeting the Wongs, Benjamin, Wei Ming, and Kiat Siong again. Really got to know them better this time. They're all a crazy bunch of people with weird habits, especially Richard, in a good and funny way.

I particularly liked Session 3 which talked about the 7 sayings on the cross by Jesus. It's always good to remind myself of what God did for me. Being a Christian, there's a tendency to forget or downplay the impact of the cross so it was a timely reminder to myself; Jesus dying on the cross for me, and that's how important I am to God.

So, all-in-all, it was an awesome 4-day camp.

Awesome people.

Awesome activities.

Awesome camp T-shirt.

And....

I look awesome in the camp T-shirt.

But then again, I've always been awesome haven't I?

And again the dots appear.

The Blog...

LIVES! Not literally, because it's like kinda 'dead'. Anyway, for those who did not know, I had SPM during the past 4 weeks so blogging was a bit tough. Oh well, at least Sijil Paling Mudah is over and my paper is probably sent somewhere far far away and beyond. My rotting season officially starts now where I do absolutely nothing. Hmm, blogging is something. So I guess I'll be doing some things. It'd be fun to wake up when Ken is going to school and sent him off though.

I Watched...

This movie called "Facing The Giants" during youth yesterday. It was a very good movie, though a little unsuitable for non-Christians. It talks about how problems that arise in our lives are labelled simply as 'Giants' that we find so hard to defeat unless we depend on God.


There were two parts that really moved me in the movie. The first was the part where the coach blindfolded the lineman (those big tank-like humans) and asked him to do the death crawl for 50 yards. In the end, the lineman went the whole field, which is about 100 yards, which is 91.44 metres to be exact. It really touched me because it was a bit like the situation in the church, with the small number of youths. If only I would be 'blindfolded' when doing things, not looking at 'Giants' but God instead. That way, I'd probably do so much more than what I'm doing right now in church.

The second part was the wife of the coach talking about how much she wanted kids; How much she wanted to read books to them, protect them when there's lightning and all. Nahh, I'm not interested in having children yet, but it was the following line that caught my attention:

"How can I miss someone so much whom I have not met?"

Although the 'someone' was pretty much referring to the kids, I couldn't help but feel as I pondered about that line that the screen-writer had God in his mind when he wrote that.

I struggle with that. Saying I miss God so much even though I have not met. To say that requires a close relationship with God. That's something that triggered me. Where is my relationship with God? Has it grown stronger? Or has it become bitter? I'll keep the answer between myself and God. If wanna know, then wait till we go to Heaven ya?

Signing off with a bang now,

BANG!

My Brother And...

I got chased out of the house today.

By a dog.

A stray dog.

That likes to sleep at the entrance of my house.

When Ken and I went out for dinner, we saw the stray dog lying down so very happily. Ken even asked the stray dog to protect the house. I was recounting the possible situation I would be in if I was bitten by the stray dog. Mad dog disease maybe? It did looked mad, and stray.

The store wasn't open, so we went home. I raced Ken to the house and the mad and stray dog suddenly activated and barked at us. Then it came out of the house and we had to move back. It really looked like attacking us already. I almost wanted to tell the mad and stray dog that it was chasing us out of our house but I didn't think it understood English very well. Kinda regret thinking what I thought before that, it was like getting what I wanted, though it wasn't really what I would have hoped for.

Anyway, the mad and stray dog was scared of me, so it went for Ken. All I could do was shout at it while Ken did some force thing to the mad and stray dog. It was like some "Star Wars" kind of thing. Ken reached his hand out and almost touched the mad and stray dog's head, Then suddenly, the mad and stray dog became mild and left us alone.

Ken did something like this. Just without the lightsaber and the table was a dog. I was just standing there like the dude.

I never thought I would get chased out of the house today.

By a dog.

A stray dog.

A mad and stray dog.

What a day.

I make the day seem so cool.

I Was Surprised..

That there were no tips for Modern Maths today.

But then again...

I'd be surprised if there were tips for Modern Maths.

My friend told me about a friend who got caught with tips for Modern Maths.

.....

HUH?

I Have Become...

Numb towards the whole tips-for-exam thing already. Maybe because percentage doesn't matter anymore in trial exam. I'm even able to laugh it off when someone is able to recite the whole exam paper like he had just taken the exam, when in fact, it was supposed to be the next paper.

I think they don't know trial exam results won't affect SPM at all.

Ahh well.

It was Sejarah paper today. I was probably the few who didn't know the questions for Sejarah. I knew a question but I was already going to study it anyway.

Ahh well.

I guess this is what most students miss. The surprise of finding out what the questions are. Even if you don't know the answers.

Ahh well.

Parliament is fun.

HOHOHO

My Birthday...

Has passed. Will be waiting for another year for the special day. Hopefully by next year prices of PSP and PS3 will drop considerably low and people will buy them as my birthday. Nah, I'm happy with my PS2. Anyway, it was fun celebrating it with the Vines, CK (Calvin Klien attended my birthday!), and my whole family. It's a first seeing the cake sliced up and served until there were just 2 or 3 slices left.

Wanna thank those who gave me the presents. I got RM150 from Sis and CK. Now my camp fees are already settled! Yay! I also got a Man. United T-shirt by Sis 2. Great thing about the shirt is that it has no name on its back and it looks SO original. Click here for details. I don't really like t-shirts with names because they play super hebat but I play... hebat only. I also got a very thick book by Sis 2. It's on David Beckham. Before people start pointing fingers, the book's not about his modeling life and the numerous advertisements he has done. It's about his footballing career from his childhood up to his time at Real Madrid. It's an absolutely masculine book! The book contains his 32 years in it... So I guess I might need 32 years to finish it. I also got some flowery stuff that will move when exposed to sunlight. It kinda nods and nods so I like it very much.

Me: Am I handsome?

Flowery stuff: Nods and nods.

Me: I'm not perasan right?

Flowery stuff: Nods and nods.

That's all. I really like it. Thanks for those who bought me presents and those who remembered and wished me. Just wishing me would be great already so thanks!

It's Funny...

How this is going. H1N1 cases on the rise and schools getting closed down for only a week. Cannot! Schools need to be closed down for at least a month to ensure those who are infected are healed! I suggest that working parents should be given a month's holiday as well! You see, there are 3 simple problems. I've even provided pictures to better illustrate the problems.

1. Infected students at home will infect their parents.

2. The infected parents will infect their colleagues,


3. And the infected colleagues will infect their non-infected children, who are students!


It's obvious that in the end everyone will get infect. So, like the solution proposed earlier,

Students holiday, adults (except doctors) holiday! Everybody stay home spend happy, quality, quantity family time!

My blog might start having a
group of adults following it now :D

I got 3rd...

In the 13th National Postal Quiz. Something like that, or was it Bible Quiz? Anyway, it's about the book of Luke and Acts. I participated in the team category, so I had a partner, and her name is Kay Lyn. She is superb. To be honest, I went there without any intention of winning anything. Just thought it would be good exposure. Problem is, when you have a partner as mine, you will go far. That's what happened. First round was 40 objective questions, answered by the each partner then totaled up. Out of 80, we got like 71. Haha, after the first round, we were talking about the questions and I got wrong almost all the questions we discussed. I think she covered up for me.. Ahh, what blessings.

Went to second round. 10 questions, each 4 marks and able to discuss (I so love this word). Got the first 2 questions wrong. Question was on what book was the part about Elisha healing Naaman and David asking for the consecrated bread. I got the books wrong. Instead of 2nd Kings and 1st Samuel, I wrote 1st Kings and 2nd Samuel. Kinda confidently told KL I knew some more. Then wrong. Bahhh. The next 8 questions she knew all of them while I wasn't so sure. The only thing I did was write the answers down on a piece of A4 paper. I even had time to write nicely. Told others I was just the writer while KL was the brain. I was her hands, and she was my brain. With her brain, we got 30 out of 40. With my hand, the invigilators could read the clear-without difficulty in seeing-neat answers and award the marks. We work well together.

With those marks, we progressed to the semi-final. Here she said her brain was tired already at listening intently to the questions and didn't want to go on. Cis, you think only, I write, more tiring. ANYWAY, this round was a no discussing round. There will be 3 questions on Luke and another 3 on Acts and only 1 set may be taken by only one partner. KL said she was more comfortable with Acts so I gladly gave it to her. The questions on Luke were easy thanks to BK teacher's question-spotting skills. Got 13/15. Then when it came to Acts, I was so glad I didn't do it. I didn't know how to do most of the questions and though partner only got 8/15, I think I would have done worse and gotten only... Acts?

The total was 21 marks and we technically barely made it to the final. Highest was 22, while those with 20 had a tiebreaker to decide who went into the final. Looking at the scoreboard, we couldn't believe we made it that far. BK teacher was telling us at the start of the semi-final,

"You're already good if you make it to the semi-final. If you make it to the final, it's a miracle!"

May not be entirely correct, but that was what she implied. Then the SFI boys and ST. David boy were like more happy than us. Johannan (The St. David boy) was like, "Make Malacca proud man!" At that point of time, I understood what heroes meant when they said the world was on their shoulders. Mine was a small state, but it still heavy. I kept asking KL how the heck did we make it to the final and I blamed her for being too good. Haha, she really did awesome that day. I was spectacular. Just to make it clear, Spectacular < Awesome.

We got third in the final. Didn't really care about the results. Was just happy it was over and could finally go back home. Malaccan peeps were really encouraging. Thanks a bunch! Stopped by at a place for lunch. Had a very, very small portion of chicken rice. Bet it was expensive, but it was good though. Had some chocolate cakes as well. Went back home tired and missed the music practice for Sunday's led worship. Practice was at 4, quiz supposed to end at 12.30, but it ended at 2 and we started going back at 2.30 I think. So sorry, Frederick! I promise next time when you song lead for Youth then I'll play for you. If your name is not on the list, then ask Sharma or someone to put you in charge on one Saturday then can already, okie?

Day 3/4 and...

A load of other stuff. Was really busy, and kinda lazy to blog when time was given. Day 3 of DMSJ (In case anyone forgets what Day 3 is about) was fun. The first day of quiet time... with the kids. For those who don't know what 'ironic' is, that's an example. Quiet time with kids when kids are no where near quiet.

I tried to prepare the things the day before. Of course I couldn't because the lights were off and I tried waiting with Clement for the kids to sleep but we waited and waited until we waited in our sleep. We were talking about what 'ye he hwa' was in english. Don't know whether pin yin right or not, but it means Jehovah. We didn't know, and we asked Andrew (The guy who reminds me of Shin Chan) what it meant. He answered, "'Ye' is coconut, 'hwa' is flower, so 'ye he hwa' means 'coconut and flower'. It was so darn funny. Not making fun of him for not being able to speak chinese, but the translation was just superb.

The quiet time went well without as much noise as I expected. Had Bingo Bash in the afternoon. It was creative. Never played it like this before. Normally when people mention bingo, I imagine a smoky room due to the cigarettes and crowded. Somehow SU's touch made the bingo feel very Christian and clean. Haha, well done! Had this activity by Sieh Jin about 5 ways to take the Word of God. Had to pair up with another one for every mini-game and if you loss, your partner would have to write the way on your finger. I'm a guy who cannot tahan outside dirty wan, so I tried my very best to keep myself clean. I won all the mini-games. Well done Shaun!

At night we had a Fun Nite. The whole thing was very well thought of. Didn't expect the king to be so hated until got people wanna assasinate and my dad was an advisor to the king. It was fun!

Not much happenings in Day 4. It was kinda little until Hwei's post (which normally makes you scroll all the way down) also kinda short. Anyway, it was kinda a happy and sad feeling. I was happy because it was holiday and I could go back and play PS2 while sad because I just managed to get closer to the other church members, especially my dorm mates. I used to look at Edwin Tay as the dude who looked way beyond his age, his brother Kelvin as a super tall dude, Clement as Spock (from Star Trek), and Andrew as a dude with much hormones. But then after the camp, I really got to know each of them better and it wasn't a Hi-Bye thing anymore. So yeah, for me, the camp's purpose was accomplished: To reach unity among the 4 churches. Well done to SAGC for organising and thank God it was a success.

Well, the load of other stuff would be these 2 jokes spontaneously made by my fellow classmates during Bible Knowledge. Form 4 dudes/dudettes, please take it. It's good for understanding of Luke and Acts. You'll love God more too, which is good!

Joke #1

Referring to the part where Jesus ordered the legion of demons into the large herd of pigs.

Teacher: Now, why do you think Jesus did that?

Student: Because of swine flu.

Joke #2

Referring to the part where Jesus gave His disciples a promise before going up to Heaven.

Teacher: What was the promise Jesus gave His disciples?

Student: I'll be back.

Day 2...

Of DMSJ! For those who do not know, my apologies. DMSJ is a quiz held every year between 4 churches, that is Daya (Johor), Melaka, Shah Alam and Johor again. Because this year would be the 10th year of the quiz, we decided to have a camp. There you go for introduction. Perfect summary of 10 years. 15/15 marks. Well done, Shaun!

We had a baptism ceremony in the morning. It was my first witnessing a baptism ceremony held at the sea. 5 candidates being baptised, and I knew none of them. If only it was done at the 4th day or I had taken the initiative to know them for the previous DMSJ's, then personally it would have been a happier experience watching them. I did not know them, and therefore I can't help but feel I couldn't really share in their happy moment. I was happy for them, but could have been happier. Sorry there.

Anyway, congratulations to those salty ones baptised in the salty sea. Had morning worship after that and Unc Jason Fong shared his first sermon. Felt it was good and funny and applicable. I've heard him speak about 3 times already before the camp, but his 3 days sermons were really good! It was also fun to meet Siehjin (the guy singing in my cbox) and Christina. They came to our youth before to share about not being complacent. I shall not type more about that. We only absorb 20% of what we hear. That was 20%!

Yaya, we had workshops! I attended the 1st two on '7 reasons why the Bible is true' and the one on the Old and New Testament, so I chose the CSI: Philemon instead. Watching too much CSI, I thought Unc Jason would bring out a body and teach us how to inspect the body. But nah, he took out the bible, turned to Philemon, and taught us how to inspect that particular book. It was done very detailedly and he literally left no words unturned. Philemon became nomelihP.

Had Survivor Game in the afternoon. We discovered that Jun Yi was Keanu Reeves and could do those 'bend your back 90 degrees' stunts. Expected more games, but there was only one. To be honest, I was disappointed a bit, but then we ended up playing football on the beach so it was good in the end; Those that preferred sleeping slept, and those that preferred playing played!

That's all!

This is...

Blog post 100! Anyway, it's been long since I updated this blog. I think the last time I posted a post was when Najib was still Deputy Prime Minister. I was busy with stuff, then lazy with stuff. I could have updated it during the holidays but then my sister was using it very often and I did not want the PS2 to be left out. Something had to be sacrificed, and so the blog was.

Firstly, DMSJ camp was fun. I was not expecting anything big or superb about this camp initially. Throughout the years of DMSJ, I only know a few of every church and the thought of being with only one or two MGC-ians in a group with 11 people was kinda scary. The most dreadful part of the camp was of course the DMSJ quiz. Did not touch chapter 1 of Colossians at ALL.

I was wrong about the camp.

We were all wrong.

It was a bit scary for the 1st day, but then it gradually became alright, then fun. The quiz was not scary and dreadful at all (I even sat there counting time for my dad for the last few questions). It wasn't that bad to be number 2 actually. Roger Federer is World No. 2. Lin Dan is World No.2. Man United got no. 2 in the final. The list goes on. Anyway, like I predicted, the dorm where I slept was mainly filled by SAGC people, then Daya and lastly, Yik How and me. I thought I was gonna get ragging or something, but then it was not to be because I slept with a lot of kids. After the quiz, I got to find out I was dorm leader over all the kids.

It was an interesting concept, where you share with your leader what you learned about the day's sermon and stuff. It was a tough 3 days for me because kids are naturally hard to control and to ask them what they thought about the sermon was like asking an adult what he thought about Powerpuff Girls. The age gap was toooooooo big. These were kids ranging from standard 2 to Standard 6. With God's help though, I managed to pull it through. We talked about how high their sand-castles were, how many seashells they collected, how salty the seawater was, etc, etc. Nola, we did talk about the sermons. It was impressive that they could remember what they heard and all the more hebat when they listened! When I was in Standard 6, I was only listening to the total money in the offering bag (it was the only announcement I listened to).

Oh ya, any SAGC member reading this, please tell Joshua I said thanks ya. When I was having a sore throat and asking the kids if they had any prayer items, he requested to pray that I get well. It was very touching. For those who don't know, Joshua is the small kid sacrificed for eating the sacrifice. I think I shall stop here. I care about you. I don't want you to get tired in reading this blog and checking twice if the blog was actually www.musiquemer.blogspot.com or www.frozenstrawberry86.blogspot.com. I'll be backlogging for the next few days and try to be updated.

P.S: The 'you' refers to my eyes.

It was...

Amazing. My hand moved by itself today during Bio exam.

I'm No...

Blogger, just a lamer.

Tse Shuen's no blogger, just a worker.

Tse Hwei's no blogger, just a blabber.

Adrian's no blogger, just a pray-er.

Andy's no blogger, just a mamak-ker.

Chen Li's no blogger, just a gamer.

Yen Mei's no blogger, just a photographer.

Just something you find everytime you read their blogs. The one with bold and red colour is not all true. Goshies, I'm a good rhymer.

It's That...

Time of the month again... No, not period. It's the time where we have exams and questions leak and good, honest people like me abandon the leaks. Is it that hard to keep your mouth sealed over some questions instead of torturing good, honest people like me?

I'm not trying to praise myself here.
Just stating a clear-cut fact.

You Know...

The famous phrase uttered by Peter Parker's uncle, Ben Parker? For those who don't know, Peter Parker is Spider-Man, not some parking dude. Back to the point, in the 1st movie, when Peter was acting strange (and a bit rude), then Ben took hold of Peter, looked him in the eye, and said the famous line,

"With great powers, comes great responsibility."

Inside his mind, "Sob, sob. This is going to be my last line before I die in the movie."

It was certainly the line that got everyone's hair standing up and inspired when they heard him say that. Of course, Peter was busy thinking of wrestling so he didn't really listen. Well, to be honest, I did some thinking when I thought of the line.

What power do I have?

What responsibility do I have?

I then realised I really did have a power. The power of not being able to smell smelly things. I've learned something from this movie. Yes, with my power of not being able to smell smelly things, I shall take it as a responsibility to do the thing very few have done.

MBMB... Here I come.

Great responsibility. Seriously.

Find your power. Take responsibility.

This post is not intended to offend anyone.

The Difference...

Between how a top-scorer and normal student react when getting an 'E' in a subject.

Top-Scorer - "I see my report card hor, A, A, A, A, then suddenly one 'E' leh! So ugly!

Normal - "Hey, look! I got a Royal Flush! A, B, C, D, E!

Royal Flush is where you get 5 cards with same
shape and increasing number. E.g, Spades 1,2,3,4,5.

I'm So Glad...

My mom is back! Haha, she was back pretty early and we chatted a lot as a family that night. She didn't really enjoy her trip, but I think she did enjoy being away from house chores. I found out the 1st day I washed the clothes wrongly. Didn't use soap powder but a powerful acid which, according to my mom, is able to make a hole in clothes. Haha, so glad nothing bad happened. All in all, it was a fun 4 days and I really learned to appreciate her more. Moms rocks! If you see your mom passing by, give her a thumbs up and say:

"Mom, you rock for all you've done! Especially the housework and raising a good kid!"

Day 3 Was...

Definitely the most tiring day. Woke up at 7 to sweep and mop almost the whole house. Whether clean or not, not very sure. I can't really tell the difference between a mopped floor and a non-mopped floor, feels the same. Anyway, went badminton at 10, came back at 1, went sushi king at 1.30 and arrived at 2.00. Adrian and Yen deserved to be mentioned here because they waited quite a long time. So, thanks guy and girl! It was funny hearing the conversation between them and this sushi lady who was in charge of seating people. They were talking about throwing shoes at those who should have left but didn't. Actually, it would have been more wise if they passed the shoe to those behind. I bet they were even more impatient than us. Fortunately for everybody, Hwei recited a poem that directed our impatience away, or to her. Goes something like that.

Patience is virtue,
Virtue is grace,
Put them together and you have a pretty face!

Was super tired when I got home and immediately fell asleep. Woke up for dinner and then went to prayer meeting. Everybody seemed sick and the sneezing sound thingy could be heard all the time.

On a side note, there were a only a small number of people in prayer meeting for the 1st 15 minutes or so. Uncle Tony was the chairman and he said:

"I think today very little people because it's holiday."

Shouldn't the attendance be more if it's holiday?

Day 2 came...

A little bit late, but anyway, here's Day 2. Did nothing much except fold some clothes. There are still some clothes to be taken in but to confirm they are REALLY dry, I decided to leave them be for another night. Moon reflects the Sun's rays as well you know?

It's Not Related...

To the other posts, but more people seem to dislike me in school now. Even my close friend. I thought it was just me being paranoid when he talked less to me, but turned out my other friends also felt the same way. During lunch, he didn't even look at me and only answered me with a few words. Don't know why. That's the sucky part. It pays to be too handsome I guess. So, for young boys out there, be handsome in moderation.

As Requested By...

One, but thought by many, I shall give a summary of today's Day One. I went to the washing machine wanting to wash the clothes. When I opened the cover, there was no water inside. I was shocked because previously when my mom used it water was always present. I thought of taking pails and pouring the water inside, but then I didn't remember seeing my mom walking back and forth the toilet taking pails after pails. So I called her to ask how to do.. Haha. 1st day then need help d.

It seems you press something then water will come out by itself. The water was pouring in, but I didn't know where the softener and the other thing goes in so that took another half-hour. When it was washing, I was so worried that I might screw up somewhere and the clothes would have become other people's clothes. Like black clothes become white and white to black and the red would mix with some colour to produce green. It didn't, but some of the clothes were not as wet as I thought it should be. It gives you the feeling that some of them can be put under the fan for 30 minutes then they would dry.

I asked dad what to do and he said "Never mind wan la!" Oh ya, I forgot, there are no girls in the house. After hanging the not-so-wet clothes, I tried ironing clothes. Dad taught by ironing a shirt. There were a line or two left on the shirt and I was like, "No need to get rid of the lines meh?" He replied, "Aiya, no need so detail wan la!"

I struggled with the clothes... a lot. My dad say I iron like never iron like that. Oh well, at least I tried, so 100 points for the effort. By the way, it's not 7 days, my mom will be back by Thursday. Nevertheless, 4 days is still long... very long.

As always, there are lessons to each summary. What I learn today is not to be so detailed. It was gained through words of wisdom by my father.

I Will Be...

A houseman tomorrow. Some may say I'm still too young to call myself a man, but it's my blog, so just read on. Gotta explain the story 1st, so just sit tight and read. It started on a day when my mom told my dad that she was going to Hanoi, Vietnam with her colleagues. She did almost all of the housework, so it was understandably why she was worried to leave the house to 2 man and a boy, who were the ones giving her work, for one week. My dad replied,

"Go ahead, dear!"

There was so much energy from that 3 words. He said with such confidence that could move mountains. My mom's was also convincing.

"Sure or not??"

It was same. Energy and confidence that could make mountains afraid to move. Heh, I'm sure when my father said that, he had me on his mind since I'm the only one doing a little bit of the housework. Reminds me of the Reedemer, Saviour, Friend song.

"I know you had me on your mind
When you said, 'Go ahead, dear!'"

So that's what happened. My mom's leaving tomorrow for a week. I was already taught how to wash the clothes, boil the water and prepare breakfast for Ken and myself. I predict an amazing 7 days about to come.

I Went To...

Franciscans Night. Went for the sake of meeting old friends, not the performances. Got to know from some SFI people that it was lousy. Met Andy Mau there as well. When I was there, I remembered an idiom or line or whatever that goes something like this:

"You only miss something only after that something is gone."

You all should know why I recall that line right? Originally a St. Francis primary student, I went to GBS instead of St. Francis secondary, and it's been 5 years since then. So yeah, the line does come naturally. Goshies...

My friends must have missed me so much for the past five years!

It's Been Long...

Since I updated this blog. Well, life has been busy for me. Homework, CF, and also the Easter Day event thing. That was certainly a handful. Talking about Easter, I think I grew a lot after the event, character and spiritually, but definitely not size... I'm still short.. Sob sob.

The size thing aside, I think I really did grow. This event shaped me up a little bit, being more stern when I have to, though I'm no where near the famous sterners in church yet. Wahahaha. Sorry to those I've offended in the process of practicing. It does get a bit business when we're doing this kind of things, nothing personal.

Spiritually, God reminded me I'm not alone in my troubles. He made me realise I had my fellow church members who were there for me, some who are going through the same trials, some tougher ones, and some who have experienced them. The crying session (I make it sound so cool) I had that day really released all the pain I was holding in and to know they prayed for me was really nice. So thanks guys!

Also, I think I got a little carried away with inviting my friends to come. Had some painful experiences there and I was very down and disappointed when I realised none of my friends were coming. Got to know about only 4 non-christians were coming, and that didn't help. I felt as if our sketch and the whole event would be meaningless. Again, God proved me wrong. Through the event, Fong Wan, who has not been coming to church, came back again and two of the non-christians gave positive responses. He reminded me again that however small the number may be, He can still produce the best out of it and He will never let our effort and hard work go to waste. I also understood the word "redeemer" with a deeper meaning and Kah Wei's illustration of Jesus exchanging eternal death for eternal life reminded me of what Easter is really about.

Oh well, that's it. Post is a bit long, but do remember I have not blogged in like, a month. So for the post to be only this long is something good. If it were maybe, my sister or Chen Li, the post might be equivalent to a novel. If it were Yen Mei, pictures would be flooding in and the whole Internet line will be so slow you can get a cup of coffee, cook Maggi Mee, take a bath, fold clothes and take a nap. So be glad.

I'll Never...

Underestimate green bean seeds anymore. Small they may be, it's hard to make them grow. My 6th time planting them already.

My fingers are not green. They're yellow. Maybe that's why I'm struggling so much.

I Co-SongLed...

With Aaron for the Children's Hour today. I felt horrible. The kids were beyond control. I talk there and they like never listen. It was probably the 1st time I felt like I was syok sendiriing. For the 20 minutes I was leading there, I missed the youth who would follow me and sing, or even if in the worst case scenario, just stay there silently.

I feel it's a much bigger challenge to songlead with the kids than the youths. One of the Singaporeans (who looked like Stephen Lew) said it was easier.

"Very easy wan the kids! They still young so if you act crazy with them then can d!"

Me??? Act crazy? That's like, impossible wei! I'm such a serious dude! Anyway, I think I'll sit in for the next few weeks in the Children's Hour to see how the more experienced ones do the job. Till then, I prefer the youths. So silent and manipulative. Haha.

I am

utterly disappointed with what a close friend of mine said. I need someone who can keep me going spiritually in school.

According To...

Albert Einstein,

"If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it."

How about the idea,

"Many girls like Shaun."

Absurd? You decide.

It's All A LIE

I discoverd something interesting. Out of the regular MGC bloggers' blogs that I usually read, this is their posts starting from this year;

Me - 5.

Andy - 9.

Adrian - 10.

Chen Li - 13.

Tse Shuen - 15.

Yen Mei - 17.

Tse Hwei - 30!

And they say you'll be very busy when you're in university. For the younger ones, it's a lie. The older you get, the more free you become. The bloggers who have over 10 posts are from university. Don't get fooled. Be careful.

One more thing. Guys naturally tend to talk or type less.

I Feel...

Sick. The fever has already left the body, but I still feel strange. It's like you know the body is not 100% fit, that kind of feeling. It feels like I have a lot of gas. Not my butt, my stomach. Keep burping and stuff. Even the colour of my droppings aren't as lively as they were before. I think it's KFC. Those chickens in the bucket ones. Very dangerous. Quite a few have already suffered from diarrhoea already. So be careful ya. The chickens might be out for revenge for all the relatives you ate.

How Does It Feel...

When someone ignores you? It's like you're halfway talking to that person and he/she just goes away without apologizing or giving any reason. The only thing they leave you with is confusion and disappointment.

It feels bad and sucky right?

That's what we do sometimes, or most of the time, to God.

We read His word, maybe a paragraph of two, ponder upon those words, and before even finishing the chapter, we fall asleep. Or we go to bed, pray for a while, and before even finishing the prayer, we fall asleep.

To be honest, I've done it before. Sometimes, I sleep even before I start praying. Somehow it just bad doing that to God, the one who did a lot for me. I'm just ashamed I can't spend a few minutes to talk to Him without my eyes half-closed.

Now, for the question that always comes:

What are we going to do about it?

Make it a point to spend time with God and to be alert when doing so. Don't get Him disappointed.

Most People...

Do not know the later part of the story "The Tortoise and the Hare" and of course, the lesson.


They all think it ends after the tortoise wins the race.

It doesn't.

Just to make sure we all have the same version of the story here I'll be retelling it.

The hare was a very fast animal, always doing things fast, and he liked it furious. Some claimed he was so fast, he made a cheetah look like a snail.

The tortoise on the other hand, was a very slow but steady animal. All the animals claimed he was so slow, he made a snail look like a cheetah.

One day, the hare decided to have a race. Of course, the hare led the race but slept when nearing the end of the race and the tortoise managed to crawl past the finishing line. Hare realises his mistake, apologizes and The End.

That's what they all think. Here's the later part of the story.

For the next 99 races between the two, the hare won them all.

Lesson of the story:

The hare is still the fastest. If exam asks you which is faster, don't give tortoise as your answer.

I had...

Difficulties breathing. It all started after badminton. After I took my bath, my nose started running and then during that moment I had that problem. This was how I cure my problem.

I have a round head. Like a ball.

Surprisingly, the flu stopped, but I can't breathe anymore. Someone please help me.

Four Christmases...

Is a dumb show. Period.
