2006-10-20T18:07:00.000+08:00

who are we, what are we, where are we..?!

the "who, what, where, when, why" guideline..ever wonder who are we supposed to be, where are we supposed to be borned, what are we supposed to be doing, when should we be doing anything, and why are we thinking so much..? life's supposed to be simple and not complicated..but the nature of humans tends to make it complicated.. at times we would try to control and determine how things are supposed to be when we aint got no choice in the first place..

terrorist attacks to war, economic recessions to the IT bubble burst, european champion losing to the most arrogant club ever, doping scandal in the most watched cycling tour, hazy weekends, biggest shopping mall - "vivocity".. does any of these actually matter?? are we in the position to comment, get worried or even try to do something about..?! we humans are actually so small to even make a difference in such matters, unless we're directly involved.

its surprising that people actually think that they are so great and so big that they could influence decisions made or affect the outcome of events..well, you know what i think..i think its time for them to wake up from their fantasy and fanciful imaginations. "WAKE UP.." the fact is that when you wake up tmr, it might be just another new day. so you guys must be thinking what the heck's wrong with me with this post. what i'm trying to say is... "Its time..!! its time to try to take control of what's happening in your own LIFE before trying to be the "Great one" to save the world..that is, unless you have super mutant power that others do not have..

ps. pardon me for such a meaningless entry..there's nothing wrong with me, i'm just bored..so please do not come ask me what's wrong or why did i post this entry..have a great day and also..
..its time to wake up..! =)

Finally..

2006-10-18T04:46:00.000+08:00

Its been almost a whole month since an entry was entered. but well, guess no one really complained much since not much people actually keep an eye on this blog anyway. So, i think i ought to write a little abt what had happened for the past 1 mth. To cut the long story short, its been "like that lo".. haha..not too great and not too bad either..as usual with the roller coaster ride - ups and downs that is..Countdown to my last paper on the 11th Nov, and naturally it's being accomanied by the counting down to the 20th as well, which will be the day i'll be back AGAIN..!

Slowly, things had been showing up for me. New doors opened, new perspective with regards to some stuff. Perhaps a change in environment, culture and routine does influence.

Oh, it's also been more of an enjoyment nowadays to watch my Fav. team play, who else but ManUtd..For those who are unaware, there was actually quite a long period of time where its such a torture and torment to watch them play the 90mins. Most of the time i was left with thoughts of "why am i wasting my time watching such games..??" But well, that's what you call a true fan eh..*wink* the Champions Lg game against Copenhengen(a german team) was actually a joy to watch, and it certainly raised my expectation for them to perform better in the next game. To see Rooney walking out of the tunnel in front of van Der Sar with the Captains armband on was such a joy and pure excitement. i might not be related to him in any other ways, at least not to my knowledge but there was just this sudden rush of adrenaline having known that Rooney's the captain for the night. i wonder if this is permanent..hmm..

oh well, just before i am boring any of you guys, better stop..=) Would like to end of with this highly scored lame joke by our very own Pastor Joseph Prince..

"ever wonder why whenever you're speeding along the highway, the car begins to feel lighter and lighter...?? Cuz thats when the Angels take off from your car..!!"

oh, that was actually a high 9/10 from me..=) take care royalties, ill be back soon..until then contd to miss me eh..haha..=P

"training to be soldiers, once in our lives.."

i used to hate this song so much that the lyrics are always in my head. Now, it seems so long ago since i last sang it. For those who doesnt know, that's the song that we have to learn and sing when we, the boys of this great country are serving in the national service. It was all the way back during the Basic Military Training, also known as BMT times that the song was first introduced to us. National Service was so much FUN, yes it was at least to me..Going outfield, wearing uniform, putting on Camo cream(the green and black, now even have brown camouflage cream), holding and hugging our beloved rifle to sleep, being tekan by our instructors..that was so much fun. Okay, for my fellow brothers who are reading this and TOTALLY DISAGREE with me, i'm sorry but thats just my personal view. Seriously, i really enjoy being a soldier. I was even so closed to signing on and being a full-time soldier, dedicating my time, effort and life to the organisation. Until i saw the super ugly side of it.

Well, these are all to be shared with you guys la. It was on my mind recently, so yup. But at the end of the day, i believe that Daddy still have some great plans installed(past tense) for me. So i shall not regret not signing on and continuing doing what he wants me to, and to do it well so as to be able to glorify Him..!!

i've dedications coming for my beloved 55'04 OCC Tango Pl1, and my very own 12th mono 5SIR Bravo PL5. stay tune eh..=)

2006-09-13T00:13:00.000+08:00

sometimes we'll feel happy and excited when we're in good times or when things are going great for us. but when things are bad, we tend to ask "Daddy, have you forgotten me..?" directly or indirectly, we tend to do that..

well as for me, i tend to just be disappointed and ask myself why are things not going my way, why do they not all result in the positive way..that was before i was reconciled with my beloved DaddyGod. i used to think that why am i always e one at the receiving end of things..why am i always e one being dumped by e ones i loved, why does my result always suck, why cant i be successful in life..?? am i born a loser..?? those were e days..kind of sad now that i think back..

but now, i know..i know that i'm a child of God..e prince of the most high, delivered for a purpose. thou i'm still young and growing, i wanna learn more and know of my purpose for Him. in e mean time i know that i do not have to worry and try so hard on my own, as He who created me will always be there to give me a helping hand.

looking back now, i'm really grateful for the people that Daddy had placed to cross my path in this life..

Princess Ashley

Princess Natalie
I'm really grateful for you bringing me to church and to know more abt Daddy. guess that Daddy had it all planned out, such that i'd know you and that you'll bring me to Him someday..you're definitely one of e precious sisters to have..its great to have known you. cheer on and hope to see you glorify Daddy more and as a wonderful testimony for Him.

Princess Charissa
i might not have known you for a long time, nor have i really get to know you. but even at such, i can already see that you're glowing and glorifying Him in the things you do. i might always be teasing you but hey, i dun mean any harm lei..it was just being "brotherly" haha..=)

Princess Kimberly

Princess Aiwei

Princess Esther

Bless

2006-09-11T01:52:00.002+08:00

KNOWING that you are who you are in Christ is already a real blessing..so how much more magnitude is it to know that and also at the same time be enjoying what you're doing such that you're FEELING blessed.

err..for those confused, hope this helps..:

Blessed¹ + Blessed² = SUPER DUPER Blessed..!!

¹because of what He had done for us

²because of what's happening in your life

bless‧ed[bles-id; esp. for 3, 7 blest]
–adjective

divinely or supremely favored; fortunate

we've been, we're and we'll be..always blessed because our DaddyGod loves us and will always want the best for us..dun be blinded by the circumstances around us for His love for us will always be rock solid and be there no matter what happens..

Genesis 12:2

I will make you a great nation;I will bless you And make your name great;And you shall be a blessing.

Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord

ever wondered how many times the word "bless" appears in e bible..? its 459 times..!! amazing huh..? i defintely am..you can conclude however you want, for me it simply means that my God is a good God who really wants to bless..!! Amen..!

A Place For My Head- Linkin Park

I watch how theMoon sits in the sky/ in the dark night

Shining with the light from the sun

The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming

The moon’s going to owe it one

It makes me think of how you act to me / You do

Favors and then rapidly / You just

Turn around and start asking me / about

Things you want back from me

I’m sick of the tension / sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place / to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don’t understand(You’ll see it's not meant to be)

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

Maybe someday I’ll be just like you / and

Step on people like you do and / Run

Away the people I thought I knewI remember back then who you were

You used to be calm / used to be strong

Used to be generous / but you should’ve known / That you’d

Wear out your welcome / now you seeHow quiet it is / all alone / I’m so

Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place / to feed your greed

While / I find a place to rest / I’m soSick of the tension / sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place / to feed your greed

While / I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don’t understand(You’ll see it's not meant to be)

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

You try to take the best of me..Go away

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don’t understand(You’ll see it's not meant to be)

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

I’m so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place / to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

I’m so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place / to feed your greed

While I find a place to rest

...leave me alone..while i find a place to rest..!!

Tot of e day..!

Ever wondered where all e expired and unsold magazines go to..?

we all know that most magazines are released on either weekly or monthly basis..printed, arranged on e shelf, customers see customers buy..but what about those that are LEFT on e shelf..?! mmm..think abt it..cuz i seriously have no idea too..

ps: please do not take more than 5mins thinking abt it..if so, plz consult a consultant near you..its just a little something to kill 8mins of your life..(e additional 3 is e time taken to read..)

awakening

2006-08-25T17:26:00.000+08:00

i woke up in unknown, unfamiliar territory this morning..brings back e old memories when i used to wake up in one secluded part of e jungle, still soaked in e previous night's sweat, and cold..not knowing where i am exactly but roughly in that area..would have to wake my runner and my ps up, to get ready for movement again..Not today man..rather, i woke up on a simple yet comfy bed, dragging my heavy body out of bed just to realise that it's drizzling..i'm in my new room..yes, finally got to move into my proper bedroom, was living in a room before this, e livingroom.

things are still in a mess, din really had time yesterday to iron and arrange my clothes into e wardrobe, and its a mini walk-in one too..cool eh..! at least i got to get my lappie back online and plugged some musics into it..think i'll slowly unpack my stuff and do up my room, wouldnt be staying here next sem anyway so might as well concentrate on some other stuff, like studies and workout..

mid-sem is approaching in 2 weeks time..crap!! would have to start revising my work..i'm not here to pass and get a degree man..i'm here to soar, to fly..! not forgetting that everything i do is a testimony to Daddy..so of course cant let Him down man..! yay..! proud to be here to do what He wants me to..anyway, it was Daddy who gave me e calling to come perth to study in uwa, in case you guys din know..ask me next time, i'll explain..! haha..

currently fitting in my new training regime, aiming to cycle 100km per week..now still at average of abt 50km..still quite a long way to go..i'm loving it, my long awaited new bike, and adding to that, i didnt know that australia is such a "cycling heaven"..! why..? cuz they have shared tracks specifically for runners and cyclist..how cool is that..think s'pore is too small to have such things man..here, i'm cycling abt 20km on one track w no disturbance from annoyed drivers..s'pore changi to jurong is errr..how far ar??? thats why..! its also e culture i guess..

going to start running regime too..taking part in Std Chart half marathon(21km) when i go back..its in Dec..so have to start now..!!

Alright, its a pretty long post, to make up for e past few days of neglecting my blog..(acc to most ppl who read..thats 2 out of 3..haha..)

Before..

...After..

my new love, e Specialized Allez Double..!

2006-08-16T23:33:00.000+08:00

does anybody ever wondered why we can never be perfect nor complete by our own effort?

Simple, cuz if we're able to, then we can all be God..!

we also have our off days, our dry season..so please ppl, in future please take that into consideration and understand..some ppl need their own time, own space..! please do not deprive them of that..dun take away that little something that is so dear to them..take control of your own life, not other ppl's..

do not depend on each other for we're all humans, and we'll definitely fail when we hit our limit..do look and depend on Daddy, for He is Limitless, and He can never fail us..!

revelation

2006-08-10T01:41:00.000+08:00

just wanna share an equation w everyone..

Human x Flesh + Sin = Imperfect - Grace - Faith - Favour - Love

Conclusion:
we need Daddy to deliver His Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus down to earth to die for us so that we can have Grace + Faith + Favour + Love..appreciate and know so can receive..otherwise we'll just be foolish and not know what we're supposed to have..Look to Him..†

National Day..

2006-08-09T00:37:00.000+08:00

its been 4 days since i last post an entry..well, if you're one e many fans(not e electric one) i have reading this now, i'm sorry to have disappointed you..plz scroll down to read my 1st entry on rules and expectations..=)_

today's a v.special day, not my birthday, not my wedding day, definitely not my end of days..its NATIONAL DAY..Happy Birthday SINGAPORE..*note: its not because i'm away now then i'm feeling patriotic..its been all along esp since enlisting.."..e mud on my face is not any soil, its e soil from my country.." - e army commercial remember? think its like that.. anyway, yup..since its such a special day, shall dedicate this entry to my beloved country..whoo!!

shall touch on something i believe most of us have forgotten..e Singapore flag..

The Flag consists of two horizontal halves, red above white. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of men; white, purity and virtue.The crescent moon represents a young nation on the rise. The five stars stand for Singapore's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

The lion head symbolises courage, strength and excellence, as well as resilience in the face of challenges. It is in solid red against a white background - the colours of the national flag. Its mane's five partings represent the same five ideals that are embodied in the five stars of the national flag, namely democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality. Its tenacious mien symbolises resolve to face and overcome any challenges.

Coolz right..mmm, okay now for some updates abt myself. this is the 3rd week of school le, really getting use to it..and still stuggling hard to try to instil discipline to study..haha..feeling abit dry recently.. but after a good phone chat w e v.special one in my life just now, suddenly just felt a rush of greatness in me..its like a feeling that everything will be fine and great..Look to Him, grace grace..then faith will follow..=) well, at least now i feel rather more refreshed..and definitely looking towards e rest of e week to come..oh well, getting pretty late, have to wakie for 11am lecture tmr..hoped you guys are more educated in our S'pore flag eh..and e Lion Symbol..

Ps. to my Himechan..thou we're physically miles apart, but deep down in our hearts..we'll always be side by side to weather all e storms and all e other whats..=)

Cool ride..

2006-08-04T23:27:00.000+08:00

Alarm was set off at 0830..?! damn, a little too early eh, lionel's gonna pick me up at 10..! we're meeting up with royston and celestine*, cuz we're having our own little 'Games Day..' we had badminton, and a little tennis..coolz eh..trying to pick up tennis thou..today was my first feel of how its like to try to swing it like Beckham, err..wrong, its Roger Federer..haha..but sure it was interesting and i believe i might be playing more in e near future..(take note royston and lionel, that means you guys have to coach me more man..and to huanmin if you're reading, perhaps next time when i come back, you can jio me for tennis..! haha)

lunch was pretty good, cheap and filling but not really v.delicious thou..it was at student cafe near school..Lionel actually flirt malaysian gal at e counter man..haha..as usual..oops..! anyway we went back to my place for a quick wash up and some text twister online game..

youth worship at Roar was pretty awesome, as usual again..but we left pretty soon, cuz we were heading down subiaco to try to look for e legendary Lavaa Lounge, only to realise that it was closed down 2 yrs ago when lionel was still here in perth..haha..had some kfc instead..from here onwards it PG rated man..read with care..
from there, we wanted to drive back to my place first..and guess what..we were LOST..haha..lost in perth as we had no street directory in e car..but all was good when we asked for some good direction and got home pretty soon..it was like being guided by angels man..whoohoo..

anyway e main take away today is that i realised that i'm beginning to love lionel's car ride man..windows wind down, blasting his speakers w hillsong or radio fm..cruising down e streets, chionging for amber lights and to get rid of those chao road thugs..! haha..coolz..loving it all..guess i'm getting used to e life and culture here man..accomodation is getting well too..problems and obstacles will not stay long..and i'm really glad everythings' been unfolding nicely into place..i can finally get everything off my chest and really enjoy it all..! Whoohoo..

*(a little intro, royston's a crappy guy i got to know in OCS delta wing, went to e same unit, 5SIR..! celestine's royston gf, eh..thats about all la..had a couple of mahjong session w them before coming to perth thou..Hehe..)

supplementary translation for e earlier poem..

i just wanna make you mine.

all that i want to say,
is just a simple "aishiteriru".
e tot of you night and day,
makes me always missing you.

and remember this,
that i will not be complete w/o you.

*Genesis 1:27
So god created man in His own image; in e image of God He created him..
=> implied that we're all God lookalikes..and that we can be close to Him, never feel that He's like GOD, and we're like super nano, like dirt in comparision..see Him as our beloved Daddy and allow Him to love us..talk to Him and share w Him yr problems and troubles..He just loves it..=)
