WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
Sorry for the 2 blog updates.. owe you guyz/gurlz one manz.. but i shall compensate it with this current blogpost, which in the midst of this, will be half-asleep, so pls. forgive me if i dun make any sense in my following blogpost! =)
Remember on my Apr 26 blog, i mentioned about my FYP got an 'A' grade?? I didn't believe it.. so I asked my lecturer.. and guess what... she said considered 'A' but does NOT mean you would get 'A'.. when I heard that, I was like then why are we here in the symposium where we wld not get a guaranteed 'A'? So to cut the long story short, been to school for 2 consecutive days for 3 hrs each day, and do NOTHING but sit around and chit chat.. no one even bother to ask us questions.. we wear until so formal somemore.. its a WASTE of time manz.. arrgghh..
anyway, that's NOT the focus of this blogpost!
Today went with huimin, Ivin (my mission trip mate), jeremiah (my kor's churchmate, whom I thought was a Malay and i still dun believe he is chinese!!), howie (Ivin's friend), minghui (my mission trip mate), and a gal (dun koe her name but its minghui's friend)..
we went to this place called third place and watch perousia perform.. a local christian band.. today they played acoustic, so not those kind of hard metal rock songs today becos' they have a drummer problem.. so ya.. i muz say that perousia is pretty good.. =).. and a few days back, i then koe that the vocalist of perousia is actually the cousin of my mission trip director!! such a small world huh?? heard from huimin that the vocalist of perousia is actually a professor in NUS and i think he is only in his 20's-30's.. impressive huh??
there is this part of the concert where the vocalist forgot to tell the audience that they are suppose to echo a certain part.. so when come to that part, huimin and ivin actually echo and then the vocalist was like a bit embarassed.. so huimin and ivin joke that both of them can become perousia's fan club.. so on the way back, huimin was saying that the fan club of perousia would have only 4 members (me, huimin, ivin & howie).. i was like laughing all the way lohz.. a bit pathetic right.. ha.. a fan club with 4 members?? LOL..
but b4 the performance, we went to this zhi-char place and eat dinner.. and i saw a familiar face.. and the person is none other than........................... *drum roll*.............. the aunty from the chicken rice store opposite my house who now has sold her stall to another owner.. she happen to serve me, and i chatted with and (again, hoping for a discount) her for a while, telling her that I miss her chicken rice.. (at the same time, also hope i can get discount..=P).. but everyone actually agreed that her chilli is nice.. hot and sour.. juz the way I like it.. =).. after i went off, i said bye-bye to her..(again, hoping for a discount!) one day muz patronise her stall again.. =).. but a bit far lah.. outram.. see how next time..
after this dinner, i went to a nearby tiong bahru pau shop and buy 10 char-siew pao and 4 siew-mai for tml breakfast!! my mum call me to buy so many one.. so dun blame me.. =)
yupz.. think that's abt it.. need to sleep early.. need to wake up tml at about 9am to attend a mtg (which actually I'm not involved in, but the person want me to go) at PS at 11am.. haiz.. a bz and hectic week for me, but i like.. haha..
So till then, will blog soon.. the keyword is "soon".. hope not to long.. ha..
Ciaoz n have a GREAT weekend ahead,

Becos' I'm required to attend the FYP Symposium whereby students and lecturers would see our posters and ask us questions.. and if we answered well, then we would be promoted to having 'Distinction' grade for my FYP. so ya.. thought i can relac one corner a bit, but now, have to go back to school.. haiz.. but overall, i still want to Thank HIM !!
To God be ALL glory!! =)

============================================================
U LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY !
After service today, my whole gin-gang (except Carlise) went to Broadway coffeeshop (@ Potong Pasir) to have our lunch, becos' most of us have to attend committee mtg.. and suddenly i got the shock of my life!! The Hainan Chicken Rice shop has closed down!! the BEST chicken rice I've tasted so far has closed down!!
Kor.. can u believe it?? i'm sure you mention abt chicken rice, and trust me!! this chicken rice stall that i mentioned, is one of THE BEST!! ya.. haiz..
but actually, dun plan to eat chicken rice during lunch!! plan to eat the Fried Hokkien Mee instead.. its famous and i muz say nice!! but chilli not as shiok!
So in order to maintain my weight, i share my lunch with my dad.. but in the end, he ate more than me! haha.. my dad also plan to lose weight! =)
so anyway, after that, i suddenly got the urge to drink MOCHA RUMBHA FRAPPUCINO from Starbucks!! wendy got me influenced to switch from Coffee Bean to Starbucks! serious!! but of course, she drink latte and i drink my fave. drink lohz =)..
so she actually like 1 week, drink 5 times of latte! 1 cup a day! bad for health wendy!! =P..
so Starbucks now come with a redemption card.. so I actually got my FREE Frappucino frm Wendy!! so ya.. =)
so think frm now on, I'll go to Starbucks and drink my kopi instead! ha.. =)
anyway, we are that desperate, that the whole gin-gang went frm Potong Pasir and take a NEL train to Plaza Singapura's Starbucks.. we a bit crazy right?? true but we also want to pass time!! we have got like 90mins before the mtg starts!! so its quite logical lah hor!! =)
You may wonder y such a title for a blogpost!!
well.. because today i attend the church committee meeting (finally!).. and of course, i NOT committee member but go there and kpo lahz.. but it seems like i'm one of the committee member liaoz.. becos' if i not there, my pastor wld ask my dad or ppl like Wendy, where am I.. so yupz.. not official but considered one! *grins*
anyway, today my pastor not present at mtg, so the leader of my church took over. He gave a short sermon abt. our priorites which I would like to briefly juz state the 4 priorites, and they are in DESCENDING ORDER !
1: GOD
2: Family
3: Work
4: Ministry (Its more of fellowship-ping with one another!)
so yupz.. when i heard this, i thought it was rather useful.. so if you can, try to base your life on these 4 priorites and you will be pleasing in the eyes of God, becos' you have priortise your life well =)

I've got the Thai Song (for my mission trip) frm my a gal who is in my team, and she studies Thai !! I have sent her a personal email to request for the translation of the song, so that I'm able to sing it as a special item in church.. =)

WEIGHT LOSS!!
Well.. sorry for the multiple entries that was entered into my Fri, Apr 23's blog update !! They look the same, but i added some things inside like thanking my jie, etc.. so the updated one is of course 23/4.. yupz.. =)
Anyway, the subject of this blogpost states it all !! Believe it or not!! I LOST 6kg just by studying/preparing/sitting for my main examinations!! I was that stressed!! But feel really happy lohz.. in my whole life, i NEVER manage to lose so much weight!!
So currently, i'm trying very hard to maintain my current weight (ie, after the 6kg loss), and if possible, i will cut down my diet!! yupz.. that desperate to lose weight!! not becos' i'm going NS or what!! It's just i dun koe.. a guy thing?? =P
So kor, i was telling jie at cell today.. maybe you cld study a lot or get urself stressed, so that you can lose weight too?? =P.. but a question!! do you eat more when u are stressed?? if you do, then i'm afraid that this does NOT work for you !! =)
Anyway, 3/4 of today i was at the computer changing the soft copy of the chords of my worship team's worship compilation.. becos' i'm appointed the role of the 'chief musician' in my church (make me sound so old!!).. but anyway, I've got this new responsibility of changing the soft copy as well as the hard copy (for EVERY wk's service).. 'shiong' right?? But manage to finish 3/4 of it, so not so bad..
yesterday, (Fri - 23/4/2004), i spend the WHOLE day doing my church camp FINAL church publicity ppt (for screening on 15/5.. I'm NOT fast!! I'm juz doing in advance.. u wld koe y later!! so read on..).. glad it turn out ok.. and wendy said no problem!! so its juz left for approval for the camp chairman and my pastor !! think shld not be a problem, but rules are rules.. need to go thru' them first b4 screening!!
i tried to burn it in a CD-RW, juz in case i forgot to burn it for their approval on thurs, becos' i going for camp mtg on thurs.. so yupz.. on the way.. but wat happen was my computer kenna virus, so that means i have to RE-FORMAT my com.. haiz.. another 10 hrs of work in order for my com to work properly again.. =(
anyway, while doing the ppt yesterday and changing the chords this morning, I have been listening to my music missions CD at least abt 20-30 times!!
because i got the burned CD by ForeRunners and they asked me to hear it, so that I would be familiar with the songs, so that i can also play easily when on the keyboard.. =)
but i muz say the songs are quite secular!!I at first thought it was 2-3 secular songs, but didn't koe that there were abt. 4-5 songs that were secular; only knew this when I let Nicholas (my cell grp mate) hear it and he told me its a secular song!! There is artistes like Stacie Orico (singing "more to life" & "i promise"), Joey Mactyre (singing "stay the same"), and Smashmouth (singing "i'm a believer" from the Shrek movie soundtrack). There is also a metal rock song from a dun koe wat rock grp.. not into rock.. juz hope i'm not playing for that song!!
Apparently, there are 3 keyboardists (including me!) on my mission trip, so think each of us plays different songs.. i think!
anyway, out of all the songs inside the CD, i like the Thai song the best, and yes! its in Thai and I muz learn how to play the Thai song.. juz in case.. but I've spend about an hour on it.. and I'm glad to say that I have figured out more or less the chords for that Thai song.. and of course, its by trial and error or commonly refered to as "playing by ear" (not literally hor.. ha).. if i'm not playing the Thai song and I dun sing, I plan to learn it and get the chords.. may do it one day for my church special song!
remember juz now i mentioned about y I do my ppt. so fast and i mentioned that i have no time, this is becos' on the 10/5 - 12/5, i have to attend a stay-in Alpha Retreat organized by ForeRunners to get familiar with my team-mates and all.. and after which, its daily trips from 9am to 5.30pm to ForeRunner's office (which is at South Buona Vista Road-- its VERY far from my hse!! I stay in the North mind you!) for INTENSIVE practice sessions for 1 mth! then its off to ChiangMai, Thailand from 6/6 - 18/6.. so now u koe y i said I no time.. =)
WATCH (Wendy, Abriel [that's ME!], Tiffany, Carlise, Huimin) had a short mtg after cell group today, discussing as to whether we want to undertake a step of faith to lead a session of worship for the Full Gospel Fellowship's conference (where there are a lot of businessmen).. Wendy was telling me that at first, she reclined the offer becos' she thuoght i wld be enlisting in the army during the august period! but the person told her not to worry.. God will provide!! and true enuf, i got deferred until 16/8 and the conference wld be held from 12/8-14/8.. and that means, I got deferred juz in time for this conference..
so Wendy was asking us whether we want to undertake this challenge!! and of course, we all say yes lahz!! I was thinking that it wld be a really BIG step of faith, since we only face to a congregation of abt. 40+ every week.. but this conference is different!! it would be in front of about 1000 ppl who makes up the congregation!! this really needs a BIG step of faith!! never in my life, I would imagine myself to be in such a situation!!
But certainly, I believe that God really has a Will for me to be in this area of worship.. first, its my mission trip.. then came to this conference thingy!! really thank God for all the blessings that He has showered me!! Both events will definitely be part of my life n i will treasure it for the rest of my life, as it would be one of the interesting chapters in my life.
In future when l'm in heaven, i wld really want God to tell me, "good and faithful servant!"
*suddenly so inspirational.. probably i wrote this at early Sunday morning!*
Well.. the following thought juz came to my mind while I'm writing this blogpost!
"What is life?"
Is life all about studying? enjoyment? sleeping? have the 5C's (Cash, Condo, Credit Card, Car, Country Club)? or is life's all about fulfilling God's purpose and do His Will?
Well.. take time to ponder over the thought!! not sure whether it makes sense (becos' i'm like hald-dead when I write this blogpost!).. but at least, it makes ur mind work a bit.. =)
k lahz.. hope you are now more 'filled-in' with my life.. =)
gtg and sleep.. wake up 7hrs later for church..
Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,

Wendy was telling me that at first, she reclined the offer becos' she thuoght i wld be enlisting in the army during the august period! but the person told her not to worry.. God will provide!! and true enuf, i got deferred until 16/8 and the conference wld be held from 12/8-14/8.. and that means, I got deferred juz in time for this conference..
so Wendy was asking us whether we want to undertake this challenge!! and of course, we all say yes lahz!! I was thinking that it wld be a really BIG step of faith, since we only face to a congregation of abt. 40+ every week.. but this conference is different!! it would be in front of about 1000 ppl who makes up the congregation!! this really needs a BIG step of faith!! never in my life, I would imagine myself to be in such a situation!!
But certainly, I believe that God really has a Will for me to be in this area of worship.. first, its my mission trip.. then came to this conference thingy!! really thank God for all the blessings that He has showered me!! Both events will definitely be part of my life n i will treasure it for the rest of my life, as it would be one of the interesting chapters in my life.
In future when l'm in heaven, i wld really want God to tell me, "good and faithful servant!"
*suddenly so inspirational.. probably i wrote this at early Sunday morning!*
Well.. the following thought juz came to my mind while I'm writing this blogpost!
"What is life?"
Is life all about studying? enjoyment? sleeping? have the 5C's (Cash, Condo, Credit Card, Car, Country Club)? or is life's all about fulfilling God's purpose and do His Will?
Well.. take time to ponder over the thought!! not sure whether it makes sense (becos' i'm like hald-dead when I write this blogpost!).. but at least, it makes ur mind work a bit.. =)
k lahz.. hope you are now more 'filled-in' with my life.. =)
gtg and sleep.. wake up 7hrs later for church..
Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,

HAPPY.. SHALALALA...
Well.. its been 19 days since I have touched this system and all you hungry ppl out there who are dying to koe my whereabouts, happenings, etc.. you shall get ur fill in this blogpost.. hahaz.. =)
anyway, today is the day where i finish my final year exam paper and i dun need to go to school anymore (except for the graduation ceremony).. =)
so anyway, today paper is relatively easy.. quite confident that i will get a low B for this paper.. =)
then the next thing I'm happy about is that I have been SUCCESSFULLY defered of my enlistment date.. so my new enlistment date is 16/08/2004 instead of the 10/06/2004 !! All glory be to God!
Thanx God huh.. =)
Before i went to CMPB, my jie (ie, Huimin) actually sent me an encouragement SMS.. which says that the burden is lighter as we are sharing the burden in prayer and God is in control.. so sweet right ?? was tremendously touched when i saw that SMS.. ok.. i was exaggerating on the touchy bit.. but seriously.. i was so touch and encouraged at the same time.. =) so THANK YOU jie!! =)
Then i did my quiet time this morning.. and the scripture reading for the day was Isaiah 40:25-31.. and I was so shocked to see that of all days, the verse (Isa 40:31) did NOT "come out" in my daily QT and of all days, it came out today! and of course, I'm claiming the verse the whole day!!
The verse is Isaiah 40:31 - "Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Indeed the Lord has sustain me throughout my exam period (studying late nites and all.. and also all those cramming becos' study all last minute mahz.. and on top of that, my deferment issue..) But God was so gracious.. in a sense that He gave me the strength, and also prayers and encouragement SMSes frm close friends from church.. I feel so fortunate to have such an AMAZING, SUPER DUPER HEAVENLY DADDY as well as close friends.. But of course, all these are God-given !! =)
Anyway, throughout yesterday (21/04/2004), I've got this strong feeling that God is testing my faith, since support raising comes easily to me.. =)
so its like after my last exam paper today, I kept on praying along my journey.. I prayed even more intensely when I'm at CMPB.
At first i went to this counter.. i gave her 3 things (my own personal type-written letter, the e-receipt for the air-ticket and the letter written by the director of ForeRunners) and i told her about my situation.. then she called up her "boss" and they say cannot..
then i told them that it is already paid and not refundable.. mentioned also the cost.. $1800..
then she called me to show proof.. i then showed her the e-receipt.. she then ask me i book b4 the date of enlistment letter (ie, 01/04/2004), and i said yes! she then called me to show them.. but of course, I can't.. so i suggest to them that they can call the travel agency.. but they still insist that i shld get a receipt from the travel agency.. apparently, the e-receipt was not enough.
then one lady officer came out and took my letter and all the necessary documents and went into a room and discuss with dun koe who.. then there was no one.. i prayed this time very intensely.. i actually prayed in tongues!! and then i saw this lady photocopying my personal letter, simon's letter and the e-receipt, and i koe that i got successfully defered!! PTL!!
so i was like very happy leave CMPB...
well.. this certainly make my day..
this yr, dun plan to go to my school's graduation dinner becos' very ex.. so instead, I will go out with my friends another day to have buffet or sumthing.. =)
so ya.. dun koe wat else to say anymore.. =).. too much to say..
k.. gtg and do other things liaoz.. i so happy.. =)
Ciaoz n have a GREAT day ahead,

VERY TIRED & BUSY.. haiz..
Hi.. as u all can see.. i'm starting to slack when it comes to this blog update.. its NOT that I dun want to update, but I simply dun have the time..
its the usual stuff.. FYP, studies for test, projects, etc..
last fri, Limei & I stayed over at junting hse to finish up our FYP report which was due 2 days ago (mon - 29/3).. and we like do from 8pm-8am.. and me have only 1.5hrs sleep.. haiz..
then after came home on sat, i slept for about an hour, before proceeding to huimin hse to do eat lunch and film for my church publicity advert and wendy is the director.. so ya..
about an hour later, i had to leave and proceed to Foochow methodist church in little india for my 2nd training session of my mission trip.. and blame on my stupidity, i took the loop service, bus 101, and went the WRONG way.. was suppose to cross opp. to take back to hougang, but i took from the same bus-stop where I alight.. therefore, i was brought by the bus to buangkok green and it looped back.. haiz..
in the end, i was late for the seminar like 45 mins.. but not too bad.. they watch video, so not so bad.. =)
then after the training session, we had our FIRST mission trippers mtg with ForeRunners.. so fun!! wish there is more manz..
after our team mtg, we all proceeded to Novena Square California sumthing for dinner.. it is another branch of the California Bistro in Esplanade.. but i find the food at Esplanade taste better.. the food where I eat at Novena Square was a bit bland and can be so-called flavourless.. =)
of course me being the *ahem* food specialist, i recommend my table ppl (which includes Simon who is the director of ForeRunners) to try the tartar sauce.. so to let them try, I order fried calamari with its tar-tar sauce.. n i'm so glad that they say nice or else, I would be very embarassed.. =) so you try it someday too huh.. =)
then at the mtg then I found out that 99% of the guys in this mission trip are from ACS and its like I'm the outcast becos' i'm from Saint Andrew's mahz.. haiz.. so Ivin being the entertainer urged those guys to sing the ACS school song and there they sing..
during the dinner, i also found out that one of my best pals in this trip, Joel (yah! the one that looks like bryan wong), is actually the nephew of Simon's wife, Lillian) and also, some ppl found out that one of the members is actually the younger sis of a ForeRunner staff.. so ya.. we call it a family day dinner.. hahaz.. =)
then after dinner, about 70% of us went to Baker's Inn at Plaza Singapura to eat desserts.. so I had my chocolate creme brulette as usual.. and there, we had also a good time fellowship-ing..
then next day, woke up early to go to church.. at church, my eyes are so heavy manz.. but thank God its a good and funny msg.. its talking about clear thinking of stress.. but dun wish to elaborate.. very lazy.. but the speaker was good and it was none other than my pastor's wife.. so ya.. she spoke in a way that 50% of the time, everyone was laughing.. always look forward to her sermons.. =)
Oh.. I've got a PDA from Tiffany and she gave it to me on Sun.. but of course, this PDA is not say those pro ie, have those can play mp3, etc..).. the PDA that Tiff gave me is just a simple organizer.. so yupz.. ai yah.. mai hiam lahz.. =).. Thanx Tiffany!! =)
For my birthday present, my classmates had subsidised $35 of the cost of a Deuter X- Hip pack.. so I came up with the balance $20.. so yupz... =)
then of course, mon came and i went to school and do stuff etc.. so yupz.. even today, i do the same lohz.. =)
k.. need to go and change the ppt for my church publicity this week..

TIRED...
Hi.. how are u all out there?? anyway, here is a brief outlook of my 2 days tat I didn't blog!!
Yesterday (Fri) went to gym to train for my NAPFA.. did about 2 hrs of weight training on hands, leg, etc.. but never did my 2.4km.. haiz.. no worries.. mon going back to gym again.. but this time, will run.. so yupz.. =).. anyway, I finally learnt the technique of how to do standing braod jump liaoz.. i have been jumping wrong all the while.. hahaz.. =).. anyway, I'm close to passing.. so ya.. will continue to practice.. =)
and guess wat.. this morning, when I woke up, my hands and buttocks have muscle aches manz.. it was worse yesterday.. I can't lift up my arms fully.. only half.. tat was how bad.. today, not too bad.. so ya.. guess never do exercise for long time.. =)
so this morning went for the talk in school.. it was quite boring.. imagine juz sit there and listen to ppl talking from 9am-12noon.. torturing manz.. =(
almost when I was halfway of my journey home, Ivin (my mission trip team-mate) msg me and ask me whether I want to go out and have coffee and chit-chat.. was actually very tempted to go.. but think that family is more impt, as ivin and my other team mates going to meet on 27/3 and we have dinner after that.. so yupz.. in any case, we would still meet but its a matter of time.. so ya..
anyway, after the talk, came home and did my worship leading things.. so after which, my family went out together to Suntec area to jalan jalan.. and guess wat!! we went to eat the FAMOUS bak chor mee at Marina Square.. the store which i mention in my earlier blogs.. refer to my earlier blogs.. but dun koe where.. can't find.. but wat I can tell u is that the foodcourt is NOT in marina square shopping complex.. it is outside Marina Square complex.. the foodcourt is called "Rasa Marina Foodcourt"... near KFC.. yupz.. I queued for 45mins juz for the bowl of bak-chor mee.. tat was how long the queue is!! but was worth it lahz.. good things need patience.. hahaz.. =)
after tat, my mum decided to go to the Food & Beverage Fair 2004 at Suntec City Convention Hall Level 6.. went in for close to also another 45mins.. then we came by begawan solo booth.. and guess wat!! got my fave. pandan cheese roll !! been looking it all over s'pore for it, but can't find it.. so yupz.. finally found it today.. hahaz.. =).. so we bought.. and today, i also ate turkish ice-cream.. and the turkish tradition was tat the ice-cream man would play with you before he gives you ur ice-cream.. so ya.. i dare not embarass myself.. so my mum went instead... but my verdict on turkish ice-cream?? YUMMY!! the ice-cream is somewhat chewy.. frankly speaking, look turkish ice-cream more than the american ice-cream.. not so filling and rich.. think its made from goat milk.. so my mum say not much fat.. so ya.. =)
then came home, and now do this blog update lohz..
need to do my homework later.. juz hope i can survive.. =).. need to wake up early tml morning for church service..
so yupz..
gtg n do my work liaoz.. till then,
Adios n have a GREAT day ahead,

YUMMY!! the ice-cream is somewhat chewy.. frankly speaking, look turkish ice-cream more than the american ice-cream.. not so filling and rich.. think its made from goat milk.. so my mum say not much fat.. so ya.. =)
then came home, and now do this blog update lohz..
need to do my homework later.. juz hope i can survive.. =).. need to wake up early tml morning for church service..
so yupz..

anyway, speaking about home, I was quite surprised to see a portion of Paya Labar Road was flooded!! yes!! you heard me right!! FLOODED !!
Apparently caused by the heavy downpour earlier.. fortunately, I was in the bus.. or else, I dun koe wat to do.. so yupz.. btw, i took bus 22 so that's y I can see the flood.. the flood is apparently flooded till the knee level of most of the construction workers.. so you can imagine how high the water level rose too.. think its abuot 0.5m.. so yupz.. a few of the shophouses were flooded, until water actually went into their shophouse.. it was devastating to see plastic trash, etc flooding everywhere on the road.. so it was an eyeopener for me..
so yupz.. Friends who are overseas/ local friends who are in Singapore reading this right now, pls. dun think Singapore don't have floods.. the weather is changing manz.. hope s'pore have snow, then I can fufill my childhood dream od mine, a WHITE CHRISTMAS !! =)
k.. gtg and watch TV liaoz.. will be in later to check my email.. I'm online now, becos' I need to find out some info abt my PDM drink, which is giving me a terrible and splitting headache.. I have to RE-FORMULATE the drink (which means I did wrongly all the while and my lecturer who is in-charge of my lab session, did NOT tell me all this while!! Its only the head lecturer of this subject, actually told me this today, as my lecturer (who in-charge of my lab) is NOT in today.. haiz.. its a headache manz.. but thank God its on time.. =)
so yupz.. going out and watch TV.. ha..

Hi.. its been like 3 days I've not blog, though everyday I was online.. =P.. anyway, the reason is tat I'm being LAZY.. ha..
anyway, the same few things happen during the last few days lohz.. its been like going to school and do hw and stuff..
oh.. i want to say sumthing.. i've got an additional S$200 for my mission trip support.. To God be all glory!! =)..
then today, i went to Pulau Tekong BMT Camp.. its ok actually.. but after since I was back, my mind keeps remind me of that place and the thought of going in an extra 6 wks is torturing me !! It keeps haunting me.. ahhh.. but serious..
so wat I decide to do is try to aim for a Silver award for my next NAPFA re-test on 26/3.. by then, I'll be 20 yrs liaoz.. so time is different.. haiz.. =(.. so from next wk onwards, I plan to train alternate days with my the other friend.. we hope that both of us will score a Silver..
in ur mind, you may be thinking y suddenly Abriel takes this NAPFA thing so seriously.. last time, he said he don't care..
well.. after going to tekong today, my perspective of NAPFA has changed tremendously.. I now would be even MORE cautious with my diet as well as try to keep myself fit.. hope with all these 2 wks training at gym and stuff, I will be able to get a Silver award.. or else, I tell u.. i will cry.. serious..
anyway, I ask the officer today at tekong, if i did not get a Silver award in NAPFA, then when I go in?? he said that it would be in august.. if i pass with Silver, i only go in abt. sept.. I was relieved when he said tat i will go in at august.. y I'm worried about this is becos' my mission trip ends at june 19.. so very scared later i kenna during the june intake.. i very weird leh.. becos' even though I prayed abt. my going in later (ie, in august), which i got a confirm answer today.. I still feel a bit insecure.. which my mind is still scared of the going to tekong date is going to clash with mission trip.. I somehow have this sense of insecurity..
pls. pray for me, can?? Pray that wat the officer said is true (which is in august intake), and I'm going to get Silver for my NAPFA.. can??thanx.. =)
haiz.. can't stop worrying.. even as I write this blog..
on a lighter note, I have actually found a friend who share the same interest as me (ie, to play jazz chords when playing worship/praise songs..).. He is a friend whom I know, becos' he's in the same mission trip team with me.. so happy!!
yesterday, we chatted quite a bit on jazz chords.. and he gave me a few jazz chords for the song, "Jesus Loves Me".. and I actually figure out the jazz chords for the rest of the song, and plan to sing it during my worship lead on 21/3.. so happy!! at last, I've found a person who koes how to play jazz chords..
oh btw, I think he has higher music knowledge than me, becos' he has a Grade 6 prac and theory, whereas I'm only Grade 5 prac and theory.. so yupz.. got a bit to learnt from him.. so excited =).. hahaz..
** tell u sumthing.. when I first see him, he looks a bit like the Channel U host, Bryan Wong (Wang Lu Jiang)... serious.. i think is becos' of his mouth.. same shape.. hahaz..
well.. k.. keep on praying for me ya.. =)
so till then,

allo.. time for another update.. duh?? haz..
anyway, as mentioned in my previous blog, it was a hectic day for me yesterday.. but thank God, i manage to survive till 11pm yesterday nite.. =)
well.. yesterday's msg at the training was very inspiring.. the speaker gave us some tips for being on a mission trip go-ers.. it was very inspiring.. will not go into details.. becos' lazy to type =P
but yesterday is one of those days where I'm really truly blessed !! remember last time i told u i'm short of $500 for my mission trip??
God is indeed GOOD all the time, in the sense that He provided me a $500 cheque from a cell group member, and I'm glad to say I've hit the target of $1,800.. in fact, I still got $450 in excess.. PTL!!
However, don't think that since I have reached my target, you can't contribute!! You can actually can give the $$ to me, which I can actually transfer these excess funds to Campus Crusade for their common fund, where this fund will apply to those who really can't raise the the mission trip fund, due to some circumstances.. so yupz.. so keep it coming ya?? =)
so yupz.. after came home yesterday, did my emails and all.. then went to sleep..
wake up this morning for service.. Jie (ie, Huimin) was the worship leader.. today's worship was very good.. can sense the Holy Spirit is dwelling in church.. Good job! =)
And the msg today at home, was "NOT TO USE THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN".. which sometimes we may say things like "Oh my god!", "Go to hell" etc.. these are all using the name of God in vain.. which do you know that the word, 'gosh' is a short form for oh my god?? betcha dun koe tat right?? now u koe..
so today i was like saying my common phrase, oh my gosh.. but then, it just happen that when i was just about to say the word, 'gosh'.. something just like keep my mouth shut and prevent me frm saying the word.. and i'm suddenly aware tat i shld not say the word.. guess tat was God's work loh.. hmm.. strange huh.. =)
k.. think tat's all.. dun want to make my update so long, or u wld fall asleep.. hahaz.. =)
so gtg to sch tml.. haiz.. =(
till then,
ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,

HAPPY.. SHALALALA..
hi.. today is a day of being happy manz.. =)
Firstly, I have the results of my 2 term test papers (health & wellness, and the killer subject, Product Development & Marketing).. and I'm please to say that I've got an A for both papers.. Thanx be to God!!
The paper, health & wellness, I've got the 2nd highest among my cohart, which I had 47/50, and as a reward, I've got a $10 Coffee Bean voucher from my lecturer.. Thank God for tat !! =)
The killer paper, Product Development & Marketing, I did not score as well.. I've got 36.5/50 but i think my lecturer is considering to give me 2 more mks.. so shall see how.. but pray that I'll get the 2 mks.. =)
Thanx for praying ppl.. now, its only left my last paper, food processing, which I have not got it back.. so ya.. =).. but believe it will be good.. =)
And guess wat!! I've received 3 emails today, saying that they want to support me in my mission trip, which I have sent an email to each of them, and they have responded.. well.. yesterday i spoke to one member of the church about the supporting thing, but the person say no.. i was quite sad but this evening as I check my email, 2 persons actually send a mail to me and say "yes! they want to support me!!" Thank God!! Indeed, this is God's blessing and I'm looking forward for more emails saying YES!! in the next few days.. =).. Believe this is certainly God's blessing on this support raising thing..
Which reminds me of this verse, "Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be open unto you.".. which i find really apt.. =).. so be encouraged by this verse !! =)
one more thing that make me happy today is that I went for exercise in the evening, and i run 3 rounds non-stop, out of the 6 rounds.. but overall, timing still fail.. haiz.. but anyway, called the school and was really glad to hear from them that the NAPFA re-test is optional and there is no such thing as you muz pass NAPFA then can graduate.. so yupz.. that was a relief for me.. becos' i koe i will sure fail.. trust me! so dun want to spend so much time training.. i wld rather spend time on studies and all tat... so i'm quite mentally prepared to go in for the x-tra training before my BMT liaoz.. =).. ready, steady, bom pi pi..
k.. gtg and eat dinner liaoz.. which reminds me have, ready, steady, bom pi pi tonite on Channel U at 8pm.. nice variety show to watch.. =)
so till then,
Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,
