:: New Year's Eve ::

Yes. The end of the year just lies at the end of today. As I watch time fly pass me ever so quickly, I really have this sudden desire to go back to my primary school days... I dun wanna go on to sec 4 actually. It'll be a year full of obstacles and stress. Namely the SYF 2005, CNY preparations, class tests, Sec 1 Orientation, O levels... I really wonder how God is gonna pull me thru all these turbulent waters. Anyway, I'll have to leave these matters in his hands... Its time for me to look back at the great things that have happened this year... In Jan, I really had lotsa fun decorating the whole class with lotsa new decor tat I brought all by myself. *grins* Had lotsa fun wif running in the rain from e busstop to school armed with plastic bags full of decor sia... Could never forget that day... In June, I went to Kuantan for a church camp. It was the most spiritually enhancing event of the year! I happened to be feeling so down during that period of time and that camp made me feel on fire for Christ. I made lotsa new frens too! In November I went out to Sentosa with some of my frens for a supposedly class-outing. This was my first time going out to sentosa w/o my family!!! Cruise. DOwntown east resort. Dance camp. dance chalet. The year has been fulfilling. I couldn't ask 4 more. A big thank you going out to Jesus.

Woke up aching from head to toe. I was talking to Steph yesterday via sms and i realisd that she was feeling rather annoyed with teasing from her friends...
People, perhaps some teasing is good, but too much might hurt your friends... I have to even avoid Steph now to avoid more rumours! How are we gonna become better friends? Dun worry, I'm not angry with you... But may i request that u dun tease Steph anymore? U can tease me cos i'm not easily disturbed... But Steph is a girl just like u! I have to talk to her like, so secretly! I wanna make her a Christian! She's so close to becoming one! Help me please? Its like, I wanna talk to her w/o any more teasing... Anyway Cheri, I'll contact u abt the evangelism blog asap... I'm sorry for sounding a bit severe above...

:: Annual Dance Exchange Programme ::

Yup today's the last dance practice of the year.... My last practice as a sec 3... *sad* My hand is still hurting from all that writing... I wrote a total of 45 personal messages scrolled up nicely with fancy string for a number of my friends @ dance... It was a last minute thingy and it took me 2 days to complete. I wanted to write 4 everyone but I do have my limitations. So U're lucky if u received the scroll! *grins*... I thought very long in order to come up wif e scroll idea.... Wanted to give out small decorated pebbles but it was too tedious... Maybe next year lors...
Anyway today was spent at e field outside e chem lab again. Ice breakers, poison ball, and all e other traditional games... then we did e national day dance at the parade square... So fun... Steph was like:" I dun wanna do shuang ren wu!!!" lols... Anyway we din do it and had a longer freestyle 4 e boys... i realised it was getting very boring... So I did lotsa qian fan. unfortunately I realised tat i suck at it when i wear shoes... they go bam bam then i have trouble getting up... So it was like i was struggling at e last 1 of 4 qian fans... hehe...
Finally we did our SYF dance... We have to improve sia... so sucky... Though it looks fine, I feel a bit odd...
Really missed LQ today. I wanted to go play but it clashed wif dance. ho-hum

: christmas :

Another year has passed. * tears welling up* Going to church later for service. I'll be waiting for Cheri to make her first post on my evangelism blog. btw she has actually volunteered to help out there! God bless!
Yes I went off at 10 am for service and realised that e pastor talked exactly abt wat I wrote in my evangelism blog a few hours ago. coincidence? I dun think so.
Laser Quest was followed by church. Swimming. 20 laps. lol. Then LQ again. I knew it! Yeo has coped diao my pack. Oh well. It doesn't matter anyway. My technique doen't change yet. So I just lost an advantage tat I din expect in e first place. I dun need anymore advantages... Strangely enough, Yeo is a christian! Shocking...lol

Christmas Eve

Its the eve of Christ's birthday! Where should I go ? LQ again? Ok lars. I went to play 4 games. Two with some ang mohs, 1 with my fellow dance mate from sec 2 ( what a coincidence i met him this mth 3 times in a row liao!!! * and 1 with the crew. Unfortunately the crew knows wat method I've been using wif 1 gun and now they want to switch switch switch... *disappointed* Hey RV NP team, dun say anything abt this anywhere hors. Then I went to my cousin Julius's house 4 a birthday party of my new cousin who just got 1 year old. * so cool birthday on christmas eve* Met My uncle Hock Soon ( A very devoted monk ) who started teling me and June that a pair of evangelists came to his home ( full of buddhist stufff ) and tried to preach. In the end it was him who preached and they who listened. June and I were like so disgusted. * I'm not being racist here but I could feel that God wasn't hapy wif this. * lol. anyway the cake was totally chocolate!! Darn it was so nice that i ate lotsa cream. FAT.
P.S: I do have friendster so can u guys leave me a testimonial please......

:: Chalet ::

I woke up feeling a sharp pain in my right wrist today. Thinking through what might have caused it, I realised that it was the 6 bowling games that I had played yesterday. Ho-hum. I went off to bowl 3 more $1 bowling games @ CDANS bowl. Anyway it is only a 5 min walk away from my chalet. My wrist still hurt and my score was reduced drastically. 121, 89, 97... Pathetic isn’t it? Anyway I did have fun as I was playing with Charlene’s family. Next, *u should have guessed it* I went to play LQ. lol. Played till 230pm then I rushed to Woodlands for my A math tuition. Learned about approximation. So cheem. My head was in a mess. *confused* Rushed back to LQ after that to play SENTINEL with the crew and my 3 cousins. Now the RV NPCC team must wonder:” WTH is sentuinel? Well, they’ll probably find out soon from e crew. Basically there’s a sentinel 4 each team whom everyone goes for. Once he dies, everyone dies. limited shots and lives. Sentinel shoots his team members to restore their ammo & lives. Fun. the rest of e party at CDANS... A mini buffet cum video cam recording cum music appreciation cum song dedication. Music rocks.

Some words of concern

END DAY is near. For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that man are WITHOUT excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God, nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. (Romans 1:20, 21) But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when His righteous judgement will be revealed. God will give to each person according to what He has done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, He will give eternal life. (Romans 2:5-7)

Day 1:
Yeah... I'm really slacking in my studies so much... Having a short chalet again... Oh well... played lq again this morning... lq rocks... discovered a new pack tat is really great but realy sensitive. Will use it on friday. Actualy to me all packs r equal. I'm starting to wonder... What is that queasy feeling that looms in my heart? What is going on around here? Nah... I should ignore it.

Day 2:
Walked aimlessly around the place today... It rained pretty bad... Can't cycle at all... I love cycling... Went off to Tampines Mall to window shop too... At night Yong Sheng came to have dinner wif my family lors... and Steph and I kept exchanging smses...while i was eating lors... lols... Smsing can become a very bad habit actually... :D Sec 1 dance gals... dun think dirty hors...

Don't u agree?
We live in a world that is hostile to Christians.

Woke up at 630am... Had chicken pie 4 breakfast... Another talk by e pastor on worldy desires. Sang more worship songs. MY FAVOURITE: POWER OF YOUR LOVE

Lord i come to u
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace that I found in u
And Lord I've come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of yer love

Hold me close, let yer love surround me
Bring me near, draw me to yer side
And as I wait I'll rise up like e eagle
And I'll soar wif u
Your spirit leads me on
In the Power of yer love

Upon checking out of the camp I went to LQ again to play friendly matches with the crowd...

YOUTH FELLOWSHIP CAMP DAY 3

Actually my entire schedule was crazy. I missed the first two days of the YF camp! *makes a screwed up face* Anyway, I went to CDANS ( again ) to support the RV NPCC LQ team in e morning. They got into e semi finals. ( of course ) Rushed all the way to the Third Place building in Outram Road for YF... Actually I felt that I let God down by not going earlier... The pastor was preaching about courtship and love... Quite interesting actually... " Cannot marry anyone of a different religion, blah blah..." Hmmm... Sounds unique...
Next up Pearlyn Ting organised e Amazing race game while Ezra prayed for safety... We played charades to determine the places they had to go to... Actually Benjamin's grp cheated cos Ben already knew the places by lookin into Joy's stuff... Spent the next 3 hours waiting in the hope centre for em to come back... I was stationed there as backup and first aid and overall in charge. kinda boring.
When they finally returned we had worship in e common room... Sang some new songs... Followed by a pot-luck and jamming...
Talentime was great. Poor Kevin's group failed becos of no co-operation. Swi Lin's grp got first while my group, Joy, got second!! (We let Ezra do some constipation thingy...)Woohoo! Games Committee rocks... Publicity committee rocks too of course... Halfway thru e talentime my friend George announced the winner of S'pore Idol. Taufiq. Expected. To Slyvester:" I'm sorry, but good looks not equals to good voice and title." Taufiq rocks. The girls who support him just like his looks. No offence ah. Sly rocks too.
Went off for more worship under the stars till 1 am. Went to sleep. Woke up at 3 am and noticed that everyone was still playing cards out in the hall. WTH. They only slept at 4 am! Oh boy... WEnt back to sleep.
