Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

Too Long... Too Long...

2009-05-18T21:20:00.002+08:00

Oh God, has love for Thee waxed cold?
Has troubles cause my being to wane and turn from Thee?
Why Lord, why?
How long wilt I remain in this state without realising the importance of Thee in my life?
Oh turn me from my ways,
Give me love, to You and all around.

Been really confused lately. No idea why, but maybe this period is for me to reflect. Ever since I've stepped into JC, it's been a whole new kinda thing for me. Less play, more work, new friends. Well, some of you may know that I don't really like change, but as the Lord wills, so will I follow.

It's been tough and all lately, and I admit sometimes I get caught up so much in work that I find myself having studies as my god, and always thinking that "Oh, I shouldn't trouble God with that. I can do it myself". I believe God is teaching me a lesson:

"Without Him, Ye can do nothing"

Sigh, it's just too much for me to bear, and I think I'm about to reach my limit of confusion, anger and weariness. But when I think of these, I think of Psalm 34: 6, "This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles."

Read through Isiah 26 yesterday out of the blue, and verse 3 and 4 spoke to me in a special but meaningful way. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:"

Brethren, be thou encouraged. Our Father is always there to help lead and guide us, and nothing happens to us without His prior knowledge and consentment. Trust that He will keep thee in perfect peace! But be warned, this will only occur when thou trusteth in Him.

May our hope always be in Him, the eternal Potentate of time.

In the love of Christ,
Timo

2009's 1st Post

2009-01-05T23:48:00.002+08:00

It's been so long since I've last blogged, and I don't know what compels me to now, but whatever it is, I shall do a short one.

Brethren, recently I've been confronted with many problems, some of my own, some of friends, and some of just needless worries. But one thing have I gleaned from all these, that the Lord is in control of all.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

That is one comforting verse that I hold dear to my heart as well. Although simple, it shows how the Lord uses circumstances in our lives to shape and mould us, and that ultimately everything will be for our benefit. How oft we have blamed the Lord and murmured against Him because we feel dissatisfied with some situation! Repent, and realise that our God chooses these trials for our edification, and sometimes even to make us realise our helplessness without Him.

O for a closer walk with Thee.
That I may know Jesus, that's my plea.

May our prayer for this new year be that we will learn to accept trials and problems as one of God's methods of teaching us, and that being tried by this fire, we shall "come forth as gold". (Job 23:10)

In Christ,
Timo

We have heard dying men singing themselves into the bottomless pit with this lullaby, “Yes, sir, I am a sinner, but God is merciful; God is good.” Ah! dear friends, let such remember that God is just as well as good, and that he will by no means spare the guilty, except through the great atonement of his Son Jesus Christ. The doctrine of election, in a most blessedly honest manner does come in, and breaks the neck, once for all, of all this false and groundless confidence in the uncovenanted mercy of God. Sinner, you have no right to trust to the goodness of God out of Christ. There is no word in the whole Book of Inspiration, which gives the shadow of a hope to the man who will not believe in Jesus Christ. It says of him, “He that believeth not shall be damned.” It declares of you, who are resting upon such a poor confidence as the unpromised favor of heaven, “Other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, Jesus Christ the righteous.”

From a sermon by Charles Spurgeon entitled "Election No Discouragement To Seeking Souls," delivered February 7, 1864.

This is credited to http://www.thedailyspurgeon.com/ a good site to visit and read short passages from spurgeon's sermons. May you be encouraged, and may the lost find Christ even whilst there is still time.

"Behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2

Greetings to all, and peace be unto you.

Hope everyone has been doing fine lately. How's studies? O's are coming up real soon and it's really time to hit the books. However, for us, we must be mindful that we are doing this to glorify God!

"I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, bessech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called." Ephesians 4:1

As the Lord has therefore called us to be His children, but at the same time to be students at this point in time, so we must do all to the best of our capabilities. Afterall, we are to do like what is commanded in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
What this basically means is that whatever we do, be it eating, drinking, studying, or even talking, we should do it with the motive of wanting to gloryify God through that action.

I urge you therefore to keep close to the Lord. Only by constantly communing with Him and keeping close to Him will you find it easier to have Christ as the centre of your life. Thank God in everything, for He giveth and He taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord!

May you strive to glorify God in all that you do, and remember to keep close to Him despite the constant building-up of pressure as the O's/A's approach. To God be the glory!

In Christ,
Timo

A Purple Robe

2008-06-29T23:15:00.002+08:00

Hi all. Here's just a little song for you to ponder over what Christ has done for us on the cross at Calvary. For Christian brethren, take time to reflect and remember His death on the cross, and for those outside the kingdom of God, this is what Christ has done for you.

A purple robe, a crown of thorns,
A reed in His right hand;
Before the soldiers' spite and scorn
I see my Saviour stand.
He bears between the Roman guards
The weight of all our woe;
A stumbling figure bowed and scarred
I see my Saviour go.
Fast to the cross' spreading span,
High in the sunlit air,
All the unnumbered sins of man
I see my Saviour bear.

He hangs, by whom the world was made,
Beneath the darkened sky;
The everlasting ransom paid,
I see my Saviour die.
He shares on high His Father's throne,
Who once in mercy came;
For all His love to sinners shown,
I sing my Saviour's name.

In Christ,
Timo

Just to leave your guys with a verse for today:

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9

Well, the simple truth to some may be difficult to accept, but we must always recognise that God's ways are higher than ours, so we will never be able to fully comprehend what He has install for us.

Sometimes we may ask "Why do so many trials befall me?" or "Why are some people elected to be saved while others aren't?". These are all, granted, tough questions that the Bible may or may not have answers to. Those that the Bible has answers to, the Lord has allowed us to gain an insight to. However, those answers not stated in the Bible, we must know that it is not for us to know.

As Deuteronomy 29:29 states: "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law."

In Christ,
Timo

2008-05-05T20:39:00.002+08:00

Hey guys! Long time no blog. Been kinda busy at the moment, struggling with studies a little as well as VBS preparations. Also have to think of a theme for the LTF camp. Hope I'll be able to cope with all this by the grace of God.

Anyway, just wanted to share a verse I shared with lucas on saturday.

Romans 6:13
Neither yield ye your members as instrements of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of the rightousness unto God.

Basically what this verse is talking about is that we as Christians should constantly be reminding ourselves that our bodies are for the Lord's use, and not to carry out our own unrighteous deeds. As verse 12 of the same book states: "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

Sometimes we may be struggling with very pertinent sins, sins which are hard to quit no matter how hard we try. However, we must realise that to refuse it and resist it by our own strength is not enough. We must present ourselves a living sacrifice to God with our whole heart, and then, only then, will we be delivered from sin itself. Ofcourse from time to time we will still face temptation because we are all imperfect, but by yielding your life to Him, we will be constantly reminded how He is able to provide a way to deliver us.

Been struggling with a problem lately too, and it's something maybe a few of us face often. However, I am constantly reminded how I should not yield to temptation. I always remind myself that if I do, I would be going against the Word of God, and that this action of mine will be judged when I see Him again. Song Of Solomon 12:14 states: "For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Should not be afraid?

But rest assure that "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:" Our Lord will not forsake us and leave us alone in our greatest time of need. We sometimes wonder why we have to go through so many trials and temptations, but all these are to purge us, that "when I'm tried, I shall come forth as gold".

May those who have not believe quickly come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, according to the perfect will of God. To God be the glory!

In Christ,
Timo

Sorry

2008-04-07T18:53:00.001+08:00

Alright guys, I'm sorry I couldn't post yesterday... Brought a friend to church and sent her home after that, resulting in me returning back late... However, I would like to thank God for the opportunity to share with her the gospel... Just pray that the Holy Spirit will work in her...

Why Was The Resurrection Necessary

2008-03-30T15:05:00.003+08:00

Side Note: All notes and articles found in this post is credited as Rev Dr Steve Reynolds who spoke at Life BP Church on Sunday, 30th March 2008.

Today's passage is taken from 1 Corinthians 15: 1-11.

The passage today recounts the death as well as resurrection of Christ. It is mentioned that "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;" in v3. It then further goes on to tells us how "He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" in v4. One point we can take note of here, is that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies as mentioned in the Bible! No other religion in the world has had someone to truly fulfill prophecies, if any, stated in their "holy book".

From v5-8, it is accounted that Jesus was seen by many people after His resurrection. Firstly Cephas, then the twelve disciples to name a few. How is it possible, that after having so many witnesses, people still refuse to believe that the Lord is risen? Well, one common reason given, is that people do not believe what they do not see.

Moving alongto the main topic, why was the resurrection necessary? The answer is simple. Death.

Every human being here on earth is subjected to death, you and I alike. Why resurrection then? This is because when Christ rose from the dead, he conquered death itself! Hence, those who have believed in Him are saved from eternal death and suffering. Have you ever seen a bad pattern in your life? Or a bad problem? If your answer is no, that is a lie.

When our forefathers, Adam and Eve, sinned, we likewise were born into this world of sin, having "inherited" their sinful nature. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23. Hence, it is needful for someone to come rescue us from death itself. This person is the Lord Jesus.

By Christ's death on the cross, we can see His infinitely love for us, and that He loved us so much as to pay the price for our sin. It wasn't even His own! But He paid the penalty for us by dying on that cruel tree. Will you still not come to Him? The blameless one who bore our iniquity and died for us? This was the rescue plan that God had planned out from eternity past. Through His resurrection, we can see His omnipotentcy, and that He is powerful enough to break the bonds of death. Oh how great the sacrifice our Saviour paid, but through that purchase, He saved the elect.

And so, rescue for the lost is attempted. Just like someone who is drowning in the pool, we are helpless to save ourselves. Christ, on the other hand, is the life guard, who throws the life buoy toward us. However, through all our struggling to save ourselves, we sometimes push the life buoy aside and refuse to grab hold of the buoy. In the end, the life guard stands there, shaking his head, because although a life could have been saved, the drowning person refused to be saved by someone else.

So the question is, are we willing to give up our own plans for rescue, to trust in the Lord's offer of rescue? Search the scriptures, and any other "holy book" or religion. But if you are really finding the antidote to death, Christ is the only way.

"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:" John 11:25

May this short devotion bring the lost others to Christ, as well as rekindle the first love of those believers who have lost it.

God Bless.

Timo

For Ye Are All One In Christ Jesus

2008-03-16T19:24:00.002+08:00

Today's devotional passage will be from Galatians 3:26-29. Do in your own free time read through the whole chapter to get a deeper view into the topic. Also remember that this is just a short devotion which is aimed at encouraging Christian brothers/sisters as well as to serve to minister to the unsaved. =)

v26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
> All those who believe in Jesus are children of God.
> How we believe is by faith, that Jesus came down from Heaven to die for our sins on the cross.
> What is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

v27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
> "baptized into Christ" basically means to acknowledge Christ as your personal Saviour.
> However, baptism does not save. Only by accepting Christ as you personal Saviour and believing that He came down to Earth to die for us and take away our sins, and is risen can you be saved.
> All of us who have believed in Christ are saved, and we are reminded that we have to put on the new man.
> Eph 4:24 describes the new man as "after God is created in righteousness and true holiness". In other words, when we put on the new man, we are putting on righteousness and holiness, attributes which can only describe God.
> How this is possible is because when we are saved, we are being sanctified, or being transformed to be more Christ-like.

v28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ya are all one in Christ Jesus.
> See the contrasting words used in the verse: 1) Jew | Greek
2) bond | free
3) male | female
> These words are used in order to show that no matter how different we may be, be it racially, status wise, or physically, all who are saved are ONE in Christ.
> This shows the unity and harmony that should exist in the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27)

v29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
> The promise in this verse speaks of the promise God gave to Abraham, which can be found in Genesis 17:4, which reads "As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations."
> So when we are children of God, we are, actually, the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, which was that he was to "be a father of many nations"!

Conclusion: > Whenever we think that there is no one who can relate to us and when we seem to be searching for our identity, our Heavenly Father knows us the best, and we can be known as the sons of God.
> As for those out of the kingdom of Christ, hasten now as the day of atonement draws nigh.

In Christ,

To Seek The Lost...

2008-03-15T22:32:00.002+08:00

The weight of the matter never occured to me... Why do some people reject the wondrous work which Christ did on the cross? Is there something that some people see but others don't? Or maybe it's because it has been predestined to be this way, like everything else has been by the almighty Father above...

I am resolved no longer to linger,
charmed by the world's delight.
Things which are higher,
things which are nobler,
these have allured my sight.

I will hasten to Him,
hasten so glad and free.
Jesus, greatest, highest,
I will come to thee.

And so it is, that I thank the Lord for this awakening from my "slumber". I am now resolved to fulfill the great commision given to us by Jesus.

"Now is the accepted time."

In Christ
Timo

Well, I'll start from Wed: National Day celebrations in school was kinda boring, not like the previous years... After that, went to take lunch with my pri school friends at coro plaza, then proceeded to siwei's house... Played "bball", "captain's ball", and water bombs for like, the whole afternoon... Mann was it tiring... After that went to orchard for dinner, came home quite late.. Lol...

Thurs: Didn't study much in the morning as I was helping out with the pa in church for some parenting seminar... Interesting how much of these apply to you... But anyway, after lunch we cleaned up, then went home to catch come shut-eye before we proceeded to my aunty's office to watch some of the stuff of the NDP 2007... Fireworks were beautiful... =P

Fri: Well... Had tuition in the morning, studied here and there in the day, then went to my mum's friend's hse in the evening... Studied abit there, played with the dog and the kids, ate dinner, and played abit of pool... Lol... Nothing much... Hahah...

Oh yes.. I forgot to mention... My "London friend" told me I was cute and nice, and was wondering, when I told her I did not have a gf, whether it was true... Lol... Interesting eh? But yeah... She's leaving to go back to London tmr... Have a safe trip tian! Come back to visit! ;D

Well yeah, take care guys... & all the best for common tests!! =)

2007-07-30T21:35:00.000+08:00

Hey guys... Sighz... Today was seriously not a good day for me... Stuff happened... And yeah, today's actually the last day haoting will be with us in Nan Hua... Why? Why this? Why now? It was just so unexpected and sudden... But I guess stuff happens...

Like what chiho said, "with meeting comes seperation", and mr adrian tan, "a true friend is one who knows how to let a friend go"... This really got me thinking on some stuff, but I don't think I'll share it here... Hahah... But just one thought? Treasure your friends before it's too late...

Take care of yourself tingting... Don't forget us, cause we'll never forget you... We'll be waiting for you here... =)

Sadness & Sorrow...

2007-07-23T20:56:00.000+08:00

Ok, sorry... The title's not meant to sound emo-tic, but yeah, it does... =.=" So yeah, back again guys... Just went to get my braces "re-stringed"... Oh the pain and pressure... Lol... Feels weird getting this feeling again... But yeah, just in case your wondering, I didn't change the colour... =P Maybe next time round yeah? Hahaha...

Ah well.... Having a Geog test tomorrow on Elements of Weather... Kind of a boring topic, but thank God there's actually nothing much to study on it, expect maybe a few causes and the diagrams and stuff... I tink I'm really tired and stuff cause of this stupid sickness which doesn't seem to go away... =/ But I guess everything happens for a reason, and I just don't know the reason for this sickness yet... All in good time I hope...

Haven't really been acting myself lately... All moody and stuff... But I guess that I really should commit all my cares and worries to the Lord, for He knows my burden, and He knows how much I am able to bear... I just hope that I'll be able to be a good testimony for Him... =)

Weeelll.... I think I shall continue memorizing my Geog stuff... All the best in everything, and just a little something to encourage everyone:
I have got a Friend that's true,
Someone who will see me through,
He guides me in all I do,
His name is Jesus.
When I stumble He is there,
All my troubles He will share,
He's my Saviour, the One who cares,
His name is Jesus.

However great the storm,
He will make the waters calm,
And through the darkest night,
Jesus is the Guiding Light.
I find comfort when I read,
Of the things He's done for me,
Yes I've got a Friend indeed,
His name is Jesus, His name is Jesus.

Thanks for reading guys... See ya round... =)

Welcome back to this blog guys... =) Sorry, had no title, so I put today's date as well as the day... But yeah, trust the people who went to the dinner yesterday enjoyed themselves no? =D So yeah, anyone who has photos with me in them with you or something, please send it to me? I need it for memory sake also... xD

So, how was your day today? Yesterday ended of with JT sending me home again, and me reaching home quite late and waking up early this morning... Went to church this morning and heard a message by Rev Seet on Enoch and how he walked close with the Lord for 300 years... Then what Wesley said during BS really struck me... Enoch was faithful to keep his walk for 300 years, all the while in a secular, ungodly environment... How about us? We sometimes can't even be faithful to do our QT for 1 week...

After that had a short, quick lunch in church, then went to my friend's brother's wake... Poor guy... After fighting the war for 10 years, he finally succumbed.... Was there talking to her and stuff... For your info, she's my primary school friend, so yeah... Then, another friend came, and the parent's agreed to send me home because they didn't live so far from me... How nice of them... =) Hope you feeling better Weiwei...

But this has really compelled me to think... Death... The scary thought that has run through our minds at least once... Is it really something to fear so much? Ofcourse no one wants to die, but ultimately we all will have to... Still, I can't help but feel for all the lost and those who are not saved, who die without ever knowing the Gospel and what Jesus did for them on Calvary... Truly it is that "the harvest is plenty, but the labourers are few"... I had better learn to share the Gospel more, and to seize any opportunity that is given to me...

Well... Hope none of that was too cheem for anyone of you... It was just kind of a reflection for me and stuff... Hope everyone will be okay for the listening compre tomorrow... Peace, and God Bless... =)

The Memory Of You Will Stay With Us Forever...

2007-07-13T19:59:00.000+08:00

Okay guys... Don't take this post wrongly... This part of the post is dedicated to Chang Hao Ting, who will be going back to Taiwan on the 31st of this month... =/

It's been such a fun knowing someone like you, and a real pain to see you leave us during your third year in nan hua... It's such a waste to see you go at a time like this, but I certainly hope you can come back to Singapore some time to visit us yeah?

Well, on to today... Class was emotional before lessons started, cause of the news and stuff... Then went on to today's lessons... Stupid irritated throat and cough didn't go away... Still here after the medication and stuff... =x Left school early to go watch the c'boys match... Was quite a disappointment, but at least they won... Could tell they were not on their top form... Oh well... Came back to school after that to make up for chem spa, then stayed back to eat and play abit of bball.... Tsk... Mann am I off form... =/

Nice JT let me take a car ride home... =P Had an interesting time talking to him... And thank God that he was able to tell that I was a Christian just by looking at my attitude and behavior without me telling him anything... Found out he was from FCBC, and that both of us were able to converse well with people, high EQ i guess... Lol...

Now, gotta go get dinner... Reminding me about tomorrow's dinner... Sighz... Dressing again... At least I guess I can dress my norm... Or something like that... =D

In view of today's news, I shall try to share a quote, and hope this turns out right: "People are only a fading memory; Treasure them while you can"

Thanks for reading guys... Cya round... ^^

Problems

2007-07-10T21:18:00.000+08:00

Problems problems problems... Wondering why I wasn't at school today? It was because of a pain at the left side of my abdomen... Actually, it's just gastric, but I didn't know until I went to the doc at night! So yeah, blame it on my laziness to visit the doc... Lol...

Guess what the doc said when I visited him in the little air-con room of his called the clinic... He said my intake was too little and output too much... And I thought I ate a lot... Lol... He said I was all muscles and bones... And that the amount of energy I use is more than what I take in... Sian... Lol...

Oh well, guess that just means I gotta eat loads more... Build up size... xD And yeah, chinese o'level oral tomorrow... Boring and scary... Lol... Oh well, gotta go prepare now.... Cya guys around!!

*And thanks to everyone who "cared" about me today ^^

Never Give Up...

2007-06-30T09:12:00.000+08:00

Welcome again to this stale blog people... ;P Haven't updated for so long, I'm receiving complains by people with nothing to do... xD Ah well, for all you people out there, here it is, the latest post!! Hahah...

Well then, on to what happened to me the past week in school and stuff... School wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and Thank God that my braces don't give me a lot of problems, except maybe with eating beef an all the tough stuff... xP Also, as the orthodontist said, I really have become more careful when playing ball with others, for fear that my lips will get cut and weird stuff like that... Hahah...

School wasn't that eventful, except for an Australian girl who'll be staying with us in class for about 1 month... Oh, and of course the new trainee teachers as well as new teachers who should be staying with us long-term... Haha....

Sighz... What happened yesterday really showed me the feebleness of the human mind... I won't mention names now, but yeah, here it goes:
Our class got scolded by the first teacher that stepped into our class, because we were late for her class. However, she did not think why we were late, and just shot out at us on why we shouldn't be late and stuff like that... Then, we were "grounded" by evil, because he knew what was going on... Later on, we got to know that the first period teacher went to cause a ruckus in the lounge, and almost all the teachers knew about it by recess... Oh well... We can't help it if we're detained back for an attire check, and then the teachers just ask us to sit down, and finally dismiss us, and we're scolded for being late...

Then of course, many people detested her after that incident, but I don't think we should do that... I mean, she didn't check things out properly, so she should be at fault right? But, as evil said, if our attire was proper and not so messy and stuff, it wouldn't have taken so long... Also, we should be forgiving because she's still a human, and humans make mistakes... Don't tell me you haven't made any mistake in your life, cause if you say you haven't, your lying... =P And yeah, she might have been worried bout us, because she only gets to see us a few periods per week, so definitely she's worried that she won't be able to complete the syllabus and stuff...

Well then, I'm done with what I wanna say... Hahah.... Sighz, is there really something wrong with my specs? Lol... But here's a reminder: I'm NOT changing it till it breaks or spoils... =D That'll deter you, "you-know-yourself"...

Yup well, time to start studying for next Wednesday's AM test... Wish me all me best... xD And yeah, will see you guys around yeah? God bless.... ^^

Camps are over, School is starting!!

2007-06-21T21:25:00.000+08:00

Well, wassup people...!! =) Hows camp for most of you guys? Church camp was good for me! Had a real good time fellowshipping and the messages were enriching for me...

Just came back from sec 3 camp, not feeling too bad, just a little slack, and can't find anything to do except homework... =/ Hahah... The camp was not too bad lah, just a little boring cause of the lack of action-packed activities... Hehe... =x

Sighz... Putting on braces tomorrow night... So interesting!! But I'm afraid of the eating later on, as well as the discomfort... =/ Ah well, just gotta pray that it won't be too painful and uncomfortable... Can't imagine going back to school with braces... How to eat lunch and recess??

Ah well, I'm gonna unpack and maybe go rest soon, no idea, but yeah... Hahah... See you guys around! Byeee... =)

The days are getting shorter and shorter...

2007-06-10T20:04:00.000+08:00

Teeth...

2007-05-31T15:05:00.000+08:00

Wooooooo~~ Bleeding stopped!! Left a little bit I think... Lol... Thank God it wasn't really painful when the extraction took place... Was just weird cause I was biting gauze for the like, next 4 1/2 hours... Haha... Sian lorh... Eating lunch now, was so suan just now couldn't put anything into my mouth...

Well, just woke up before eating... Lol... Thank God I didn't bleed in bed... If not sure stink siah... Hahaha... Also, I found out the numbing sensation you feel when you're given the injection is really really weird, cause it's like all your nerves are just stoned there... Kinda like someone don't you think... xD

Well, may blog later on if i'm feeling well enough to... Looking forward to the next extraction because the quicker I get it done, the quicker I get my braces... Lol... Should be putting them on right before the sec 3 camp, which is after the church camp... Cool eh... Hope I won't be having difficulties... Hahah...

Troubles...

2007-05-21T19:16:00.000+08:00

Howcome everyone has problems/troubles? It's a way of testing... How smart are you? How witty are you? Can you handle the stress? Hahah... Ah, not to worry... Your little adviser is here... xD I will not mind sharing my opinions with you, but before you approach me, do bear in mind that ultimately, the decision is up to you... I'm just giving my opinion... Hahah...

Well, on to today... Had bball after school... Knee kept hurting... No idea why, but yeah, thats a problem... xD Ah... Needa go back to the gym and train my leg again... =x If not, I'll never be able to play bball properly... Lol...

Cya 'round guys... ;)

Sorry for the late post...

2007-05-20T18:58:00.000+08:00

Well, as the title says... xD Was just too tired yesterday night to blog... Oh wait, should I say morning? Hahaha... Ah... Reached home at around 11+ close to 12 yesterday... I just HAD to take the long ride home eh... >.<

Yesterday:
So hot mann...>.> But besides the fact, saw many people playing a match in school today... Too bad it didn't involve us... xD After bball went home to shower... Skipped tuition, then went for LTF... Heheh... Had a message by Rev Goh on experiencing God, and there are 2 very good statements which I would like to share with everyone...
1) If you ask the wrong questions, you'll get the wrong answer.
2) The one who knows you best, loves you the most.
Hope that was good... xD After LTF I went to cityhall to wait for yixin... Went to eat mac at Funan then proceeded to victoria concert hall to collect the tickets from shu fen... Hahaha...
Stupid fen said we were very close... >.>
Afterwards I sent yixin home... Was a really long journey mann... Then she was telling me how fat she was... Well, ofcourse I compared her to someone who ate only 2 spoons of rice for dinner, and now shes thinking of going on a diet... >.<

Today: As usual, I went to church in the morning for service... Today's message was titled "The Greatest Knowledge"... There is this verse which is really edifying... It goes like this: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches;" This verse just states that we should not put our trust in earthly things, for when we die, these things will be no more, and it return to become dust of the earth. After I came home, I had a bowl of noodles, then dad came back with chicken rice... xD Went to bed after that, and only woke up about 3+ hours later... Mann, I really AM tired... Hahaha... Just finished dinner at my grandmother's house... Lol... Nice char siew... xD Oh well, I guess that's all for today... Cya guys round... =)

Today today today...

2007-05-18T18:58:00.000+08:00

Stayed back after school with ting and shuang, ting was doing her art work... xD Den we were crapping in class... After near the end of the day I went down to play some bball.... Wasn't too bad, on account that I'm terribly off-form... Hahah...

Didn't go for outside team's training today... Heard the cap canceled it, but he still asked me to go and play... But... I guess it was too late already, so I said no... xP

Looking after my brother and my father's friend's daughter tonight... Parent's and their friend went out for dinner... Sighz... Looks like I gotta do some interesting stuff tonight to keep awake... Hahah... Maybe talk over msn/phone/sms... Lol...

Ah... I just found out that my old blog was also created using this account... >.< Mann, this is bad.... Oh well, deleted it anyway... Hahah... So yeah, on to today's stuff...

Had NAPFA Test today... Sian lah... If I add everything up, I should be getting 27 points, which is also a gold, but maybe not up to my expectations... Hahaha... Some I did better than expected, but some turned out worse...
Got: -> A for 2.4
-> A for situps
-> A for shuttle run
-> A for standing broad jump
-> B for pullups
-> C for sit-and-reach
Oh well, yeah I know it's not that good, but thank God I got through it even with my bad knee... >.<

Also got bio back today... Thank God for the good results, and even though I could have done better like many other subjects, I guess I'll just have to work harder the next time round... Hahah... All's well I guess... Went home with charlene after school, after jwee left for tuition, and jiemin went to central... Lol... Well, I guess I'll end here now.... All the best in life guys... Thanks.. =)

1st little post

2007-05-15T22:57:00.000+08:00

Hey guys... Welcome to the new creation of this little blog due to many suggestions... Well, this is the first post, so don't expect too much, just that I've received back my results for midyears, and I'm not too pleased with it... There's something wrong, I just can't pinpoint it at the moment... Oh well, I just knew yesterday that I got a new bunch of youngsters to work with in my out-of-school team, so it'll be challenging, yeah, but it'll be fun too i guess... xD

Thanks for reading... I'll try to update as much as possible... Haha ^^
