Too many cooks spoils the broth

Currently in SGB, watching over those lil rascals spending time for the community.
The planning izzin very well executed out by the boys, not because of their incompetence but the officers and the in-charge's.
Too many ppl being activated to handle a certain task.
Too many ppl slacking ard.
In simple terms, Great power not fully used.
Haiz..
I'm gonna just sit one corner and stay in observer status.
Chaotic enough, dun wanna make matter worse.
Camping out here...

just a house.

U din asked wat happened?
All u did was smile, the 1 that u always do.
It wasn't the smile of kindness, it was the way u laugh at ppl.
All u said was that i dun have time anymore when others tell me to take my time.
All u cared abt is money, not me.
All u cared abt is when can i find a job, so that u dun have to provide for me.
U din care if i liked that job.
U said it's my future, u pretended to care.
But u don't.
ever since i was born, u din care.
all u cared abt was urself.
all u did was pretend u cared.
u wan me out of ur life dun u.

Old, dirty and worn out rubber...

Tired. Very tired..
Physically, mentally and spritually.
Not getting much sleep.
Not getting much support.
I need rest.. a rest from the world.
away from technology, away from city..
Mayb i should spend sometime at the beach..
Mayb i should go bak to malaysia for a while..
Mayb i should be alone..
Wait, i'm already alone..
burdened by much issues.
Past.
Present.
Future.
My Own issues.
Other people's issues.
I guess nobody bothers anymore.

Ought to sleep now.
Nobody reads this...
cause if they do, they ought would have known, instead of asking "r u ok?" or "wat happened?"

easier said than done

It's getting harder and harder to keep my rage in control.
Keeping myself in emotional state doesn't seem to help anymore...
Not knowing when i'll snap, i fear that i might hurt the people i care and love for.
Benedict thinks that i'm being emo, cause i'm emo..
Sadly, that what most people think of me...
They know me not...
not well enough to understand the rage and hatred and deep grudge that i have for humans.
Last night, i lost control for a while...
A long time since i lost control...
Nobody listens.. everyone jumps to conclusion and quick to give advice...
Death seems to be a much easier way out then facing this Raging demon that's sealed within me..
Everybody wants to be happy, likewise for me cause i'm human too.
Living seems to be more of a burden than happiness.
I want to see the Lord, i want to be in heaven with God, I want to go back home.
Using depression to suppress rage.. that's my way for control, but rage seems to getting stronger and stronger.
Maybe letting go is the solution.
Easier said than done.

Friends. Love them, Hate them, yearn to have, rather not have.

That's a long title i knw.
as the recent events that unfolds in and ard my life have sorta enlighten me.
I thank God for showing me the signs and visions.
As the recent posts shows that i hav regrets of my childhood due to the lack of friends. Self pity? Mayb.
Recently i came to knw that a friend of mine have permanently ended his friendship with another.
I realised that while some yearns for somebody to be friends with them, some actually wished that they had not known each other at all.
Is friendship really that weak? Too tired to ponder over it now.
Just wanna finish this entry.

Another thing...
I'm so ashame of myself.
God have blessed me with the gift to sense other ppl's feelings, yet I did not put my gift to gd use and all i did was whine abt my past..
While my lil brother is sending out signs of depress and disappointment, calling out for somebody to talk to, i'm there too occupied with my stupid past and failed to realise his need and cry.
I'm such a disgrace and let God down..
Putting my sad unworthy past aside, starting anew, looking out for my lil brother.
Less of me, More of others and Everything for God.
How much of the statement can I fulfil?
I do not know, but I'm gonna try.

dedicating this song, Graduation by Vitamin C, to Benedict and his classmates.
Also to friends who are still friends and friends who are no longer friends.

If only time can be turned backed...

When lil brother tells me of his outing to sentosa today, of wat happened and all, I can help but feel depressed and jealous.
Not envious, but jealous.
Born not with gd looks, cute features, I eventually became an OUTCAST of the class.
when u put a below average looks with a not so bright brain along with a not so educated family in a class filled with smartys and well to do family, u will get a OUTCAST.
being INVITED to an outing or just to hangout by classmates only happens in my dream and can be considered a luxury, let along going to sentosa with friends.
I know you might think that, " hey but now ur all grown up and u have friends don't u. u can go with ur friends now."
Yes, i know. But it can never cover that large empty hole in my past.
the empty hole that is suppose to be filled with happy memories and friends.
I have been alway outside the picture...
I guess I will always be...

Guardian, a cursed destiny, a worthless past.

Guardian. a term so noble, a term tat sounds heroic.
To me, it's a term that means cursed fate and destiny.
It's a term that bring forth sadness.

Guardian is a word for a guard, a protector.
Someone who guards, watches over, or protects.
But to someone like me, it's a different meaning.
I'm a Guardian.
not referring to a normal Guardian, but one that have destined to be one.
Upbringing, family situations, environment that we grew up in, has forced us to become one that is called Guardian.
Life without Childhood, memories that is not worth recalling, growing up protecting others all the time, loving others all the time.

Wind and I found each other in our secondary sch years.
Thinking that it was just a make-believe story, we stop searching for the other "siblings" as time past.
Nobody to confide to, only to let people ard us confide to.
always one who provide comfort to others, and noone else can comfort us.
i'm glad that Wind is ard, at least we can confide to each other.
Cursed is our lives, living a life with only sorrows...
-Water-

empty

empty.
friendless.
lonely.
forget it.
fake.
i want to say go away, but my heart wants u to stay.
tired.
i want a real hug.
not text.
i want a cuddle.
a real physical cuddle.
dun feel like living anymore.
so empty here.
empty and cold.

Lost..

Nellie's grandmother just passed away.
My deepest condolences to you Nel.
She was admitted to the hospital abt a week ago.
i went to visit her a few days ago.
she looks so much better yet now she has suddenly left us.
At that point of time, i should have preached to her the gospel.
Blame it on my lazyness and inability to preach..
Now we have completely lost her...
I have not been fulfilling my basic duty as a child of God.
I can only say that i'm a disgrace to God the Father.

Weird Encounters

Have u ever met a total stranger who gave u the feelings that u have met before?
The kind of feeling that tells u to go talk to him/her.
The feeling of knowing her already even though the both of u have only met for the 1st time.
Well, i'm not saying i have met such a person, just wondering.
But do have fallen in love before i must say.
The urge to see him/her. Always thinking of that person with no logical reason.
The name just keeps popping up in ur mind that its annoying yet blissed.
A totally different feeling than the one i described.
I think the 1st would be called "Love at 1st Sight".
The other would be "Gradually Fallen in Love".
Wat ever is the case, Romance is out of my life for awhile, putting it aside so i can concentrate.
Putting all my effort to understand the true meaning of love and to truly love people instead of being responsible.
Well, some mind food to chew on, do u love your parents or are u just being responsible as a son? Will u "love" them if they are not ur parents?

Titleless Title

Ahh~ It has been ages since i updated my blog.
Yup i'm guilty of being lazy. Resigned from TRU, i have been spending my time at home sleeping and playing online game and i must say, life is real tough.
Putting all the games issues behind, i also have to deal with my weight issue, arguments with girlfriendS [must emphases on the S for plural form], household chores, taking care of the old and sickly, taking care of a family of 7 izzin easy i tell u.

Okay okay, i'm not attached, let alone girlfriends. there izzin any old and sickly at home, and i do minor chores so that izzin a big deal. comon, a family of 7, i wish. weight problem? the only weight problem i have is not having enough. So i'm pretty much carefree..

But to be truthful, i dun like that. being unproductive and slacking is so not my style. relax yes, but i'm always looking for something to do.
So while waiting for NIE to start, i'm taking up guitar and photoshop. I'm also visiting the library more often, reading on teaching techniques and tips.
Gonna start learning driving and get my Class 3.

Well at least there's plans.

1 step made = 1 step closer

life izzin fun without work.
Lots of time... Too much free time...
Lots of distractions... Too much distractions...
Excuses... all those excuses...
Every time i tell myself that i need to start walking, carry on with my career and life and the walk with God, the war starts inside of me.
the struggle of control over my life between the Holy Ghost and my SELF.
i haven been walking closely with God lately.
the effects? World, Self and Devil wins most of the battles within me.
the WSD trio have made my life empty and trying to render it useless.
if they succeed, they will be able to create a MAD [Mass Area Damage]in God's work.
cannot... let WSD... *urgh* win... Must re..sist... *urgh*... Mu..st O..pen B..ib..le..
see, that's how tough the actually battle is.
the action is 1 thing, but WSD will create lots of distraction to take away ur attention.
that's all for today.. distractions...
By the way, have been messing with my psp, hacking and customising.
Looking for Lumines and GTA Liberty City UMD[unpatched version].

Man Without Love

A long absents of entries lately even though I had plenty of time.
It have been a week since I resigned from Toys'r'us.
Though i have plenty of time, but yet time seems to fly so fast for me.
It's Sept already, BB work seems to be piling up...
Its like a never ending load of work and admin stuff to do.
NYAA, the awards, the NCO council, the squad system and the noticeboard.
on top of that, my future as a teacher.
So tired yet i cannot rest, like a zombie...
Thx God for giving me strength to carry on walking.

Staying at home made me see lots of things.
My mum despise me.
Well, she should. I'm not even capable of supporting myself at the age of 24.
I'm not like Gabriels who have stable jobs, unlike Jisam whose doing degree in the States, not like Dhana whose gonna be a future doctor, not capable of bringing money home for the parents like all my other peers. All i can do is stay at home, eat and sleep, No help at all. Yes, she has every reason to despise and feel ashame of such a worthless son. Useless, and unchanged is what she sees in her own flesh and blood.

My Dad thinks i'm stupid, a retart, a useless fool.
Always make decisions that doesn't benefit the family.
Always going out, wasting money.
At age of 24 still need to depend on him.
Yes, comparing me to him, he is a lot more capable.
Leaving home at the age of 16, going to a country strange to him, started from stratch and now a business man.
He is so capable that he can flirt with his "other woman" over the phone in front of me. Mayb he thinks that i dun know what going on, that he is flirting.
Haven't he learnt from his previous affair? yes, "previous".
the very affair that got him on the run, the very affair that got him to come back home in fear. He even showed the naked photos of that woman to my mother.
What a joke.
People say that the child is the result of the love of 2 parents.
He have 2, jean and me.
So why does he still do such a thing?
Mayb he doesn't love my mother anymore.
Mayb my mother is just a machine to carry on the family line.
what a joke to think that he will change after my mother forgive him.
no longer i can cry because of this man's doing. I'm not sad, just disappointed.
I'm not sad because i have such a father, i'm not sad because i have such a mother, I'm just disapointed that they think i'm a fool.
Why am i not sad? shouldn't i be sad that my father betrayed my mother again?
I'm not sad, just pity my mother.
Maybe I too, like him, have no love.
If he has love, he shouldn't do such a thing to my mother.
Mayb he have too much love u say. No, i'm sure that is not possible.
Cause love is to protect and give and be fair, not to cause harm and sadness.
If loving somebody can hurt another person, that is not love. That is lust.
Hahaha, wat a joke.

You will only be a father, not a dad.
My dad don't exist at all.
I dun hate u, cause ur not worth it.
Neither do i despise u, cause i will be coming like u.
All i can do is to pray that 1 day, just 1 day, that u will realise wat is love and wat have u done that u might repent and turn to look for salvation.
Hope u repent soon, cause time is running out.

"I will died before u, but i will see u die before me."

The Final Break

Finally a nice break after so many days of continuous days of working, like wat Uncle Andrew said, he wans a break for a bit too. Hahaha, guess i'm too much of a workaholic.
for the past 2 months, i have been busy with both BB and work @ Toys'r'us, so much so that i dun have time for myself.
Well, actually i do, but it's after midnight.. =(
so I decided to resign from my job @ Toys'r'us, and have a little break before i start working as a teacher.
Yes, finally a career. After years of planning and waiting, the ambition is no long a dream but becoming a reality.
No more will i need to imagine how it feels like anymore, now i can really taste wat it's like to be a teacher. Whee~

Ok, enough of my ambition and work life.
my Wed is completely wasted due to the lack of sleep recently [din sleep on tue], went to the embassy early morning to renounce my citizenship and it took me like 3 hours queuing and waiting just for a 10min procedure. oh well, at least it's done now.
den came home, cooked noodles, watch animes on crunchy, lastly got wasted by 4pm..
had a long rest [4pm till 4am], now i think i'm sleepy again. yawn..

Recently, got myself FF7 on PSP. boy i'm delighted. It's really an 0_o! experience..
it made the wait at the embassy not so torturous.
Den i also arranged a gathering with my "poly" friends this sun~ Whee..
Finally a decent gathering with them. they hav been complaining of how i neglected them and how i'm distanting from them. People i needa work to earn a living u know.

next i also searched for nachos cheese recipe online and discover that nachos is a name of the founder and nachos cheese is a style of food..
Wow!
Thx to wiki.
Gonna try out the recipe~
Time to do some shopping. Tortillas, here i come! XD

Btw, it's the 7th month on the chinese calender, which is also the infamous Ghost Month, so ppl get out there and watch the "getai" or the chinese opera if u see 1 and remember, the front 2 rows is reserved for "VIPs" only. =P

The Long Wait...

Kk, so sorry to keep my beloved fans waiting for my blog entry.
1st, i need to thank all those who remembered my birthdate and those who spent their precious time with me on my birthdate, and also those who wished me Happy Birthday.
A BIG THANK YOU to u!

On 8th, SiangWei bought me a SPIDERSAPIEN for my birthday present!!!
Thx Fang!

Lately, work have slowly taking tow on my body.
Late nites, carrying of goods and long duration of standing has worsen my knee's condition. Plus all those soccer training...
Praises to God Almighty that He has been Protecting me from serious injuries and gave me strength to run and carry stuffs.
SiangWei kept teasing me that I dun need to slp de, just change batteries can le.
Well, his partially right.
God have been very doting me, not only did He gave me a job and money for daily needs, blessed me with plenty of great friends and family.
The Holy Spirit has also given me a present, teaching me that God will provide and He wants us to commit every single relationships, burdens, worries, confusions, time and all that u have to Him.

God also gave me a wonderful brother too.
Had a wonderful time together on 10th, went to J8 1st to grab a bit of snack, den wondered a bit. reached Suntec, went searching for lunching location. all so "high - class" and so is their prices. Kk, no complains, it's suntec leh, wat u expect? $2.50 chicken rice ah?
ok, we couldn't decide yet, so we went to buy movie tickets 1st.
Finally used the free passes i received for being the best soldier of the month.
we missed the 1.40 show time and 2.10 has just started, so it's either movie now lunch later or the other way ard. I chose the latter. hungry.
went back to deciding on wat to eat and decided on Carl's Jr, big serving and cheaper den buffet. spent the next hr eating and chatting... Great way of bonding.
went to watch Rush Hour 3 and the show started on the dot, whew, we almost missed the start of the show.
after movie, it's time to head to church for the BBQ event. sadly, due to the fact tat we got a bit lost at suntec, and the show ended like 5pm sharp, i dun have enough time to send Ben to church and reach novena in time for work. only able to accompany him to the train station.

though it was for a short while, I enjoyed it and was glad tat God gave us this time together. ought to bring him out more. =)

den that very day not only i missed the BBQ, i also had to work till 3am!
Hahahaha! Thank God that He provided me with energy and strength for the work to be done.

This morning, i went to JiSam's place to see him off.
the last time to see him till mayb next year Dec ba.
Bon voyage and Take care my friend.

Best Present ever and will be forever.

Went out to J8 with Jisam today.
got myself a great t-shirt.

I loved it. Jisam offered to get me another, but i refused.
I know i should "gladly receive", but i'm contented that he accompanied me to buy this t-shirt.
simple joy.
So far, the best present that i have received is from somebody that loves me very much, God.
He gave me His Son, Jesus Christ.

He gave me family.

He gave me friends i can turn to.

He gave me Life.


I wanna thank God for keeping me alive, and giving me so much that i have today.
I wanna thank God that i'm still a lot more fortunate than most ppl.
I also wanna thank all my friends, whether u remembered my birthday or not, a BIG THANK YOU! and a BIG BEAR HUG to ALL OF YOU.

Birthday Wishes

"Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me~
Happy Birthday to me."


Yes, today is my birthday. Some know and remember, some wanna know but i dun tell them, and some knows but forgot.
Well, Thx for well wishings. =)
So, wat do i want for my birthday?
Hmm, it's not that hard actually.
a simple Christian T-shirt will do.

or if u wanna be real generous, u can buy me a Robosapien,

RoboQuad

or the Spidersapien

, which is on 42% off at toyrus.
With or without present, life still goes on, earth still spins, i'm still alive.
Presents aren't that important to me. Wat matter most is that you, my friends, remembers my birthday.
A simple birthday song over the song will make my day. Really.
No need for big dinners, presents, hang outs. Just a simple phone call is wat i need.
=)


So, if u haven made that call, or msg...
YOU BETTER PICK UP THAT PHONE OF YOURS AND CALL ME NOW!

Walking alone in the rain back home.

As i waited for the bus to come, i wondered wat would it be like to walk u home in the rain. brought along a spare umbrella just in case u din bring.
in my mind, images of us walking together in the rain, side by side, gives me much comfort.

Little do we have the chance to walk back home in the rain, chatting away abt anything under the sun.

The bus finally came, it was pretty late alrdy, i start to worry if i'll miss u, hav u made ur way home alrdy. but i let God, our Heavenly Dad, decide if we should meet today.
i alighted, i look across the street, wondering if u have left for home.
it was still raining, i walked to the school hoping i'll meet u.

In the sch, there's so many ppl. clueless of where to start, i left to God our Father to decide how we should meet.
Finally, we met.
I hand to u wat belongs to u. i wanted to walk u home, but sadly, u have other things u wanna do.
i said ok.
as i leave the sch gate, i felt so alone.

Why? i asked myself. I kept telling myself that u have a life of ur own, that u need ur own space. I must have expecting too much. but still it was a moment alone in the rain all by myself, nobody but myself.
Dun worry, i'm fine, u did nothing wrong. it was my fault to be expecting so much from u. haha, silly old me.
just need a bit of time to ajust my feeling and think properly.
Will hav plenty of chances to walk together in the rain.

I'm alright, my little brother, i'm alright. =)

A relationship built on God the Father and Jesus our Brother as our foundation, we will support and encourage each other.

Finally got the ball rolling...

Went to parade today, gave an intro and expectation of the LDC.
Got the boys to do target test. Assignned the Council jobs and wat they need to fulfil as members of the Council and their individual tasks.
Finally the Council is starting to work out and starts to form an independance on their own. My aim is to get the Council to function as a team, a family that can function without the help and interference of the Officers.
A Council that can teach and hand over to the next generation without the officers taking over again.

The ball is rolling, let's keep it rolling together.

Approved and Not approved.

Received a letter from the Government.
Its from the Immigration Authorities.
Must be regarding my application for Singapore citizenship.
As i opened the letter, the TV played this years National Day Theme song.
I read at fast as possible, anxious of the outcome of my application.
My application for Singapore citizen have been approved.
Feelings? I don't know. It's mixed i guess. i guess only jisam knows how i feel.
Anyways, i saw this particular document that i need to bring..
Cert. of Baptism.
Being an Impatient Dweeb, i went to "test water".
I told my mum, i wanna be baptize and i wanna invite her to my baptism ceremony.
She said no.
Haiz. I'll have to wait. God wans us to be patient as he train us to persever, to be a better testimony for Him.
Wait lor.

Cried.

Watched Extreme makeover home edition today a second part to the previous episode.
The story goes on as the family was given an extra day of vacation and the team have another 24hrs to complete the house.
i actually cried, twice some more..
once with tears of sadness when they played the recorded call from the police when the guy was shot and another with tears of joy as the family came back to their brand new home, shocked and touched.
the team even got the young couple a wedding ring and a WEDDING. It that cool or wat!
God Bless this family. =)

No one said its gonna be easy.

I want to be like Christ, therefore i wanna be baptized.
I prayed and God the Spirit tells me to wait.
I will obey.
God wants me to reconcile with my family 1st.
I will obey.
God tells me to be patient.
I will obey.
I will do watever He tells me.

As Uncle Koon Soo was teaching us on "Knowing Your Salvation", he mentioned abt Spiritually Dead and Spiritually Alive.
At this point of time, it came to me, a punchline - Spiritual CPR.
We Christians are spiritually alive, and it's our duty to perform spiritual CPR on those spiritually dead.
So, what does spiritual CPR means?
C = Christ
P = Professing
R = Resuscitation

Hmm, kinda cute. HAHA.
and it's a neat saying, dun u agree?

Reaching Out. My Heart Bleeds.

Shocks after shocks.
Impacts after impacts.
Nobody says its easy. in fact God tells us that there will be long-sufferings as His children. Mayb I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but my sight have became clearer, my heart will become stronger. For after perseverance comes strength. Overcome and there will be reward. Though my heart bleeds now, I do not wan to give up. Though people turn their back on me, I will persevere and continue to pursue.
I want to be diligent in your work, and I'll, so that I can see them in Heaven, showered by your Love, Warmth and Grace.
Keeping my beloved friends in my prayers, I'll be diligent.

A quote for Kenneth, as promised. Sorry that it izzin just on homosexuality, but as a whole.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

2Timothy 3:1-9

A day at the Home.

So, I'm at Ken's place now. using his highly infected com too blog..
Let's just hope nothing happens to my acct.
Yes, finally the visit to the children home is over.
Overall an enjoyable trip, the boys' performance was not bad, at least our props are more nicely done.
And so the story goes, we sang. We performed. We played with the kids there.
Apparently, kids will always be kids. violence is always the boys favorite theme.
Our "weapons" and Cardboard van was turned into shreds of useless papers by the end of the day.
Today's trip left me with much tots and sadness.
The kids there, unlike other normal kids, are very protective and keeps to themselve, not very responsive yet hyperactive.
Well after the performance and stuff, during games, the kids there start to open up to us. well, that's where i discovered that the kids enjoys even the simplest pleasure. bringing joy to the kids there is very enjoyable, though there's a need to scarifice a bit, like standing under a tree , risking being hit by the ball.
It's even more heart warming yet saddening when one of the kids as me, " Will you be coming back to visit us again?"
My heart sank. Speechless, i could only just smile at him...

Idol or just a cartoon?

Working in Toyrus can be quite enlightning as there are lots of incident u can see as a bystander which can really get u thinking..
today, as i was arranging the Girls section, i was reminded of parents trying to draw their children's attention to this toy of this much popular cartoon character, Dora.
So, wat's so speacial abt this Mexican girl who carries a purple talking backpack, tagged along by a talking monkey , doing nothing all day but exploring a world that's weird and awfully too colourful for adults.
With this much abnormal issues presented in the show, the parents still sort of encourages the kid to "idolise" the very much unsound character, cause she literally talks to a monkey, a bagpack, a weasel and many other animals and items. So girls, or rather children are being introduce and encouraged to learn from these characters, yet years ago, ppl make a big "Hoo Haa" abt harry potter might let kids think that they are wizards and stuff like that. izzin it funny? ppl rather their kids to talk to monkeys den to behave like a kid in a wizard sch.
If harry potter was really that bad, i think the parents gotta worry abt kids acting like superman, attempting to create and consume "Chemical X" to acquire superpowers, or start grabbing the laudray pole and shouting "cow-a-bun-ga". even watching normal serial drama might put ur kids at risk of wanting to marry the gal sitting in his class [a kid at age of 5-9], or attempting suicide cause the parents refuse to buy the latest power ranger toys.
But hey, look on the bright side. who knows, ur child might become very smart criminal, outsmarting the police and getting away with every crime he does.
He might not died from the deadly spider's venom and become spiderman, or at least hav more eyes then normal ppl.
So..
There izzin much we can do izzit..
=P
so much for the tots at work...

For Wat? Wat For? Faith? or Blind Faith?

So, today i went badminton-ing with jisam, probably for the last time, cause he's leaving for the States to study for 3 years..
*sob* Hey Jisam, we must have a meal together b4 u fly k!

Anyways, after that, we had a simple lunch together, den we went home.
i den spent 20mins to shower, pack, "dress up" and leave for parade.
Reached sch just in time.
so, everything in short, we rehearsed for the visit to the children's home and did some drills and other stuffs that izzin really important now.
there's a new teacher in charge assigned to us. hopw he's up to the job.
we really need a "all out to get the boys" teacher who izzin afraid to dish out A-Forms. Will be praying for him. Hope he will be saved too.
=)
after saying so much, i discovered that i have not said the main point of today's topic of discussion. ok, uncle andrew was sharing with the boys abt this monk who brought back a tooth which was believed to belong to a great monk, and managed to raised money to build a grand temple to house this tooth. the issue is that, this tooth is believed to be a fake, cause it dun look like a human tooth, more like a bull's.
Then, uncle andrew also mentioned abt Lord Jesus's tome.
It's empty. In simple terms, Jesus is still alive, He died and resurrected from the dead and now alive, living.
So, the question is, do u wanna worship 1 that is alive, sinless and almightly or 1 that is dead and whose body can be decomposed, destoryed and turn to dust.
the choice is yours my dear readers.

In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them," Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' Luke 24:5-7

Okay, so my fav band has finally released their 3rd album, Glowing.

i refuse to download even though i have the means to do so.
They are a bunch of cool ppl, and i wanna support them.
Guess i'll have to wait till i get my pay.
But wait! i dun think i can get it even if i get my pay.

I think it's time i let them know i dun wanna share present next time.
As for me, i'm not gonna celebrate my birthdae, no money to celebrate.
And wat is there to celebrate anyway? Why can't celebration be just a walk down the beach, or watch tv together, or just sharing a cone of ice-cream?
Does it have to presents and treats, Movies and popcorns?
Birthdays...
Haiz. When will i get to celebrate my born again day?

I dun wan flowers, toys, gold and silver.
All i wan for Birthday is to be baptise in front of my friends and family.

Isomia...

Ookay, i have really bad sense in spelling.
It's 5.30am in the morning and i still can't sleep after laying in my bed for the pass 2-3 hrs.
wat could be worst?
Well, i'm having a continuous nose bleed for the pass 2 days...
only realised that now...
Mayb i should really see a doctor..
hai, need to spend money again..
due to the fact tat my nose is mucusing, so the blood is mixed in the mucus, and having a bad habit of the inward relife of the mucus instead of the more hygenic way of outward release of mucus, i wouldn't hav know tat my nose is bleeding till i blow it...
so i guess that i'm suffering from lack of blood...
too heaty, mayb..
or mayb i see too many pretty grannys. LOL
at this point of time i still can make fun of myself shows tat i'm still ok. mayb.
i used to think green flam and orange mucus was scary enough, until now.
red is the worst..
not many ppl had green flam, i think...
seriously, who ever hav though that ur windpipe can produce GREEN COLOUR STICKY FLUIDS!!!
and Orange Mucus... must be the normal yellow 1s mixed with blood...
if not, i think i need to see a specialist or a vet.
Mayb need to be refered to a NASA personnel...

i'm not overworked.. just underpaid.

So Broke.

So i went to check my bank account today after topping up ez-link card.
left $1.56.
in wallet now, $20.
days till next pay day, 17.
estimated time of total finance depletion, 10 days.
estimate time and amount of finance back up, 2 days $25.
[that means ppl return me money]
estimated time of total financal collapse after financal backup, 3 days.

the above information is true.
based on the total amount of availiable cash i can touch, which includes every single dime in my piggy bank i hav $75, including the backup.
based on $1.2 per trip for an adult travel, at least $2.4 per day.
[Note the AT LEAST!!!]
i travel every for work and work and still work, adds to 17x2.4 = $40.8.
$75-$40.8 = $34.2
base on single simple meal without drink per day, 2.5 per day.
estimated minimum working days left till pay day, 10.
total expendeture for food necessity, 10x$2.5 = $25.
$34.2 - $25 = $9.2
[Note that its based on minimum working days and 1 meal per day.]
therefore, if i din get my financal backup, i'll only have $9.5 for the rest of the working days for my meals, which will last me at most 3 days.
[provided i dun travel more than 2 trips a day, which is highly impossible.]

base on supersaver and surviour mode:
meals can be replaced by eating grass or wind, due to the zero costing and doesn't require to pay GST, rent, tax and service charges.
alternatively, i can still spend $2.2 on a "5 pack" instant cooking noodles and eat raw at work. $2.20 can last for 5 working days if i can bear with the hunger.
that way $9.2 can last for 20 working days.
[do not try the above mentioned methods - i'm sick of instant noodles...]

did i mention tat the bills have arrived and i need to start paying the poly sch fees of $100+ per month?

Arh, i'll find a way.
God will show me the way to solve my problems.

Oral Exam cleared. LC is next.

So today is my oral exam for O-lvls.
The exam centre happens to be my ex-secondary sch.
well, lots hav changed since i last visited the place.
anyways, wanted to "shun bian" visit my beloved teachers but sadly they were having a meeting then.
Nvm, i'll say hey the next time i drop-by again.

Does history repeats or is it a line extending forward?

Turn Left, Turn Right.

So, as the title says, it's related to the movie.
I met this girl at work, in toyrus, and we din't really talk to each other, cause i'm just too freaking SHY!
Kk, so as i was saying, we had to do inventory today, and we in the same team.
Okay, so no big deal abt that, but I'm happy and i dunno y.
Though out the whole stock taking, we din't really talked.
Until we were going to leave, as we split up to shared cabby bak, i realised that we both lived in Yishun, and wat's more shocking is that we lived on the same street.
If that's not shocking enough, guess wat...
We live in the same BLOCK!

Both of us were in shock.
she couldn't believe that we have been neighbours for the past 17-20 years and we din't even met once.
Due to the structure of our flat, we can actually see each other's kitchen windows, but it's imposible to chat or communicate, cause we'll need to shout like loud obnoxious brats to accomplish that.

Kk, gotta sleep, got oral exam coming up.

Why Study? What went wrong with our education system?

The news today says something abt Singapore's prospect and the "improving" economy.
I do agree that Singapore has very gd standard in "education" as in knowledge wise, but working in Toyrus let me see something else as well.
Even though singapore continues to advance in education, science, technology, economy and blah blah blah... it seems to me that most WELL EDUCATED HUMAN BEINGS in Singapore are not far off from barbarians. A simple common sense such as "putting back an item after looking at it" doesn't seems to exist in the Complex brain of these "WELL EDUCATED HUMAN BEINGS". For an example, Man A finds Item X interesting and picks it up at Shelf A. Holding on to it, he moves on to Shelf B, which is abt 10m away, and finds Item Y more interesting, thus leaving Item A at Shelf B. Den, upon reaching Shelf C, Man A once again found something that he "might" wanna buy, Item Z, and leaves Item Y on the FLOOR. As he approaches the cashier, he decides that he doesn't want anything in the end, leaving Item Z at the cashier and left for home.
ok, Being a floor crew, i need to do something call "re-shop", which means to go ard the shop and collect any "misplaced" toys and placing them back to the original shelf. Toyrus has different "sections" eg: Boys and Girls.
Everyday, we'll find toys from Section A "migrated illegally" to Section B, and very often, they "travel" there by ships or 'sampans' called "Adult". Btw, sampans are small malay fishing boats. I dun mind doing all the reshop and stuff, but still, i'm concerned of wat is becoming of our soceity and wat went wrong with our education system? Why is Singaporeans becoming so "barbaric"? izzit so hard to put the "unwanted" toys back to the shelves? or at least leave them at their original section or at the cashier.. It's not like we'r asking them to arrange the shelves to a prefect condition.

Food for thoughs: Is there something wrong with our education system? Or, are Singaporeans taking too much things for granted? Mayb we'r all being spoiled...

It has been a while

It have been quite sometime since i have blogged.
let's talk abt my recent experience at work..

Working in a toy store izzin easy, especially if ur a prefectionist.
Many will think that this job suits me, but the actual fact is, it's not.
i dun mind the long working hours, i dun mind standing for long hours and i like serving customers the best i can.
But this is not wat i wan. I wan to teach and that dream will soon become reality.

Working in Toyrus have its moments too.
there was once i was arranging the toys, a boy young little boy ard age of 5-6 was walking slowly, as if he's brousing through the massive varities of toys in the store. then i heard a man saying "where did u go?" in a very calm manner.
The boy turned ard and immedieatly ran into the man's arms, crying. His father asked him," where did u go?" in a comforting manner. the boy couldn't stop cry for some time. after a while, the father wanted to leave as the boy is going for a music lesson. the boy quietly held his father's hand and did a very surprizing action that made me giggled.
the boy very conviently wiped his nose on his daddy's shirt and all his dad said was," Oie, u very dirty leh.". the father wasn't angry, just a little annoyed. hahaha.
so wat have i insights hav i gained from this incident?
1st- boys 5 onwards won't show expression of lost and cry when they are really lost, they will just try to look for their parents themselves.
2nd- Being a parent, dun reproach a child when he's lost. He has alreadly gone through a round of terror and fear, so try to comfort him or her instead.
3rd- daddys are portable napkins. u can wipe anywhere.. =P

That's all for today.

AWW! It's "Bones" in a "Cold Case"!

Ever wondered how a murder occurs?
Ever tried to understand their motives?
Watched "Cold case" on Chn5. Man, its gd.
Digging out Case files that was left unsolved for ages and finally solving them, bring the truth to light.
WOW..
some stories are touching, some are just plain gruesome.

Then was BONES.
The corpse is like "wow, did they really dug a grave for that prop?!"
The 1st time I watch this show and I have already fallen in love with it.

For ppl who are into crimes, cracking knotty problems, likes bickering partners and cheesy jokes with a bit of gruesome body parts, these shows might give your brain a zesty Tueday late night boost.

A series of unfortunate events @ work

1st day of work and i was late for 30mins.
The manager was like real pissed off, showing the i'm the boss, you too low-status to talk to me. Then followed by a series of unfortunate events happened, which i dun intend to talk abt.
I bet the whole Toys'r'us staffs @ novena hates me now...

Wat is Sucess?

Read Kw's Blog for the 1st time.
Great job i must say.
Impressed, proud of him.
At the same time feeling very depressed.
People ard me seems to see life deeper than i do,
that wisdom... so envious to see others possess it, and yet sends a wave of terror in me.

why do i feel this way?
i really dun like it..
a under acheiver..
very fustrated.

What is Life?
How can i be Sucessful?
Wat is success?
What is considered successful?
people alway say.. money izzit everything. being rich duzin mean ur successful.
people say: Being contented, is successful.
people say: Success is a personal concept kind of thingy.
but up till now, the society only take success = money/wealth.

Once, during a conversation with a friend, he mentioned that he dun think i can "make it"..
so the main point is: Wat is defined as "make it"?

somehow this tot also brings me to another question.
What is friend?
Are my boys my friends?
Are my army campmates my friends?
Are my schl mates my friends?
Why are some people say that: to build a good relationship with ur child, u have to be their friends 1st.
So wat is defined as a friend?
if a friend is somebody who u shares ur joy and sadness, den what abt those backstabbers/betrayers.
a friend wan something from u, so does a backstabber.
both people have a similiar motive, so can we term both people as friends?
can a friendship be single sided?

What are the answers to these questions? Who can really justify these answers?
Even if Justified, but by wat/who's standard?
how do we know if that person's standard is correct?
