What a Day

well. today started quite alright.
woke up kinda early for no apparent reason then went back to sleep.
haha.
had a promotion interview today at 11.
it was quite good so i guess only 9 of us Air CLTS would become SCLTS.
i guess its been a good long run.
after the interview danny,xin hong, qin zheng and me went to J8 for lunch.
when we came out of the MRT we saw scott so we ased him to accompany us and thats what he did. we initially wanted to go to the foodcourt to eat but it was too packed so in the end after walking a few rounds we went to yoshinoya and danny just gt a drink since the place wasnt halal.
after we ate we walked around a bit in J8 and went to see XH's ex-gf. haha.
it was darn funny la.. we kept going round and round..
anyways.
about 1+ we left the place and headed back to our homes.
by the time i reached home it was already 2+..
at around 3+ i went to bed to take a long nap..
aha.. say about 2 hrs?
after that i went to meet jap for dinner.
had service then went for supper.
too bad jap couldnt follow us to supper today. he had alot of things he had to do..
whats more he's got work tomorrow so hope God will give him the energy to stay active minded tomorrow.
JIA YOU!
After service today was kinda of a drag for me..
felt kinda anti social but nvm.. just followed them la..
then throughout the whole supper i just sat there..
and then jowell said that i like so left out.. lol..
well its true.. but nvm beats going home...
after supper called my dad to see if he could pick me up but he didnt pick up
so went home by bus..

wonder what real friends are.
i dont know why but for the past few weeks i havent really been feeling ok with the friends i have.. i feel left out in everything.. i dont even know if i'm still friends with them or am i just a dog following them..
its hard to find good friends nowadays.. especially those even when they're troubled who will still go places with you..
even if you're feeling down dont you think that maybe sometimes you should just go out..
i know i'm being selfish here but.. what you do also affects others right..
nvm.. i think i'm getting kinda out of the point here too..
anyways.. Pastor B said that we should always make friends but if we make so many its kinda difficult to actually keep in contact with them..
when i was young i always thought that it would be easy but now i realise that i'm becoming more forgetful..

anyways. ask yourself this.. dont you think somedays you just feel left out of everything and you find everything meaningless?
today i felt that..
but i dont feel that everything is meaningless..
i felt that even though you've gt friends.
sometimes they'll still desert you and you've got to do some things alone.
you might be asking yourself this.
what have i done to deserve this?
you've done nothing.
its how you view the situation.
sure some of your friends are feeling black.
some of them maybe couldnt careless about you
or maybe some just plainly forgot that you're there.
but again.
who cares?
God wouldnt care cause we're to serve him and not to satisfy our own needs at times.

anyways.
I may not be myself these few days..
maybe i'll be ok tomorrow but maybe the following day i may not..
i may not show it at times but if you're reading this.
there are just somethings you dont know.
like problems i'm facing.
so i hope that sometimes you would just shh and stop whining about your everyday problems but actually taking them into your stride and just going with it.
why complain? you still need to do it anyways right..

guess thats enough for today..
aint gonna blog anymore for today....
nights everyone.

The old has gone. the new has come. nothing will be replaced but only created.

its been quite a while since i last blogged..
and lotsa things has happened.
but today i'm only gonna blog on a few stuff..

firstly i'll start off with what i did today.
well.. i went to watch a movie.. wanted to watch tenacious D but reach there realised it was
actually M18.. so in the end i caught Casion Royale instead..
the movie was alright...
after that went to meet Amanda Cleo Dwight Faith Jospeh and Isaac.
ate BnJ's banana split and coffee beans chocolate frappuchino with peppermint for dinner...
haha.. weird right?
anyways..
after that we talked alot of weird stuffs la..
most of it i cant remember..
lol...

okays.. now on to the real stuff that i really really wanna blog about..

Serangoon Garden South School is officially closing down from tomorrow..
argh.. it feels so wrong for such a good school to close..
it was my father's primary school it was mine...
and i tot it would be there for quite a long time but i guess not..
the campus really brings back memories..
the classrooms..
canteens..
the spots where we would always hang out..
the hall..
computer lab...
feild..
EVERYWHERE!

here's something that i just wanna type..
i remember i used to go to primary school even before the gates open.. i really loved the school that much to do that..
it was a very nice memory..
the teachers..
the friends..
the times we spent..

monday i secretly went back without telling my parents..
frantically trying to find a digicam the previous day..
i met elise in the morning to borrow hers.. THANKS SO MUCH ELSE.
now you know why i really needed it..
i went back with leonard and we walked the path which we used to walk to school
and reminise the wonderful times and hard times we spent together..

thinking about it really makes me feel so warm inside....
but the thought of closing down the campus just aches my heart..
like why?
why close it down?
its such a new environment..

Glenn said before a man who claims he doesnt cry is a liar
and i wont say i do not cry as the though of this already makes me want to... however i just cant bare to shed tears for it..
i dont want to be sad.

i'll really treasure it.
Serangoon Garden South School.
Strive for Excellence.
the name and motto i'll never forget.

The motto of the school is what made me really motivated to do stuff i want to do..
To play badminton..
to be an all rounder in sports..
to be good in my academic results..
And all the life skills it taught me..
and the friends whom i shared the time to learn with..
it really taught me alot of things that till now i still show respect for.
It taught me one exceptional thing to.

What we experience when we're young and how we act would really determine on how we grow and nuture. The choices we make are crucial.

i thank the Lord for allowing me to live in the time of that generation.
we experience both the old and new of the world.
the suffering and the achievements of the countries..

May God Bless all those from Serangoon Garden South School and hope most of them will get over the loss of A school of such great honour.

*darn cough making me feel worse*

Just another day in paradise.

hello everyone.
today school was alright..
so many tests coming up..
its time to start mugging.
today started revising maths in the library.
thats one of the few times i really study..
actually i was just doing questions but it is still studying.. lol.

in the end at night tuition cancelled.
so went j8 for dinner with winston and elsie.. then saw junwei,nizam and fidaee all working at the coffeebean there.. lol. shocked man to see them there.
well.. we went to pastamania for dinner.
it was quite alright though elsie went cuckoo in the head.. lol..

then met japheth to go shopping for nikki's birthday present which is this friday.
too bad wont be celebrating with them this sat as i'm going to malaysia..
haha.

just watched Robots.
its a well plotted movie i must say.
its quite original too.

one thing it teaches is that

Instead of moving forward all the time, sometimes we have to step back and look back on what we've done. What were the initial reason's we started to commit ourselves to the cause?
Are we achieving the goals which we set in our lives or are we astraying from it?

next year is going to be very hectic.
its time to buck up and start studying.
i love work. its fun and get to meet new people every now and then.
i learn how to do customer relations and how the customer service line is like.
the are many different people out there with different personalities
and thats what i guess makes them unique in their own way.
without that special person in the world it seems just out of place.
what would the world be without gossipers without politicians without people of different opinions?
who make choices that change people's lives?

What would it be like if there's isnt any God with us?

my opinion would be is that the world would not even be here by now.
it would have destroyed itself.

We have to keep this clear in our mind.
what we do now affects our future.
what we do now is what keeps us living our lives to what it can trully be.
dont you agree with that?

year 2006 is ending.
2007 would be a more challenging year.
we need to prepare ourselves to face what is coming.
have faith everyone and we can do it.
Because of grace, we're saved.

thank you for all those who influenced my life a great lot.
thank you Lord for bringing them into this world.
though i may not really show them how i feel about them, i really want them to know that they are loved.
i'm sorry for the wrong doings i did.
i'm sorry for all the critics i made to others.
i'm sorry if i've hurt you before.
i'm sorry for everything i've done that may have led you to think of certain things that may not be good or bad.
I believe the Lord has already forgiven me.
but i too want you to forgive me.
if you're reading this post.
saying it in your heart is already enough for i know a person cant hate someone for ever.

when i go one day.
my wish is that i've influenced you in a way that you'd always be happy no matter what knocks you down.
Even Life.
the big 4 letter word.
Life has given you two choices to be happy or sad.
Life has also given you alot of chances for you to get up on your feet and work hard again.
Life is hard cause you think it is.
Dont be so harsh on yourself.
just let go and live with the simple pleasure's given to you.

goodnights.
smile and the whole world smiles with you.

I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?

and you've changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be that right here with met

It's a miracle...

Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent...
A little more time
On you...
(A little more time, yes he did baby)

In all of creation
All things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than
Any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold
When you came in this world
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile
The heart of a childThat's deep inside
Leaves me purified

Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep (and deep)
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must of spent...
A little more time
On you...
(on you, on you, on you, you....on you, on you, on you, you..) ohhh...
(on you, on you, on you, you....on you, on you, on you, you..)yeah...

Never thought that love could feel like this

allicandonowistojustsithereandcontinuetothinkofhowtosolvetomorrow'sproblems
i'mnotworryorwhatbutijustwantcertainstufftostop,
causeitsstartingtogetrealbad.

today has been a weird day.

i dont want to talk much about today.

its just not a day to share i guess.

well i'll just say something to those i've talked to today..

i know its kinda lame but this statement really works.

Life is set with obstacles.
when you fall, no matter with what reason,
always keep your faith with you and believe that things will get better.
pick yourself up and continue on.
dont look back in regret but look back at the choices you made with confidence.
you wouldnt be here if you didnt do what you did.
good or bad the choice is already made.
To find peace is to find fault with oneself and then correcting it.

goodnights.

hi.
aint been blogging much these few days.
kinda tired. this whole week played soccer 3 times.. lol.
first time i played so much in a week.
whoopee! next week is e-learning so i've so called gt a week off.
i'm gonna work during the day and do the assignments by night.

today during soccer something real funny in a way happened.
as i was gonna cross the ball in to the rest to kick.
there were these three rugby girls who were running pass.
then all of a sudden some one shouts be careful dont hit the girls ar.
and it so happens i lose my footing and accidently kicks the ball which grazes off one of the girls head. how unfortunate.
to the girl if you SO happen to read this blog. i'm really SORRY.

nvm about that.
lol.
The Open Door is so darn good.
Rajan was suppose to return the album.
he brought the COVER but not the CD..
lol..

today charlene from church went for the interview at Cathay.
she gt in. haha. see i told her that it was like a high % that she'll get in.
tomorrow would be Clement and Wei Xiong
but Wei Xiong thought again and decided to turn down the offer so i'm just gonna cough up some excuse he couldn't go.

wednesday which was yesterday
had this test in GEMs class ( for those who dont know GEMs is general elective modules and i'm taking pyschology)
it revealed that i have low emotional stability and medium impulsive behaviour.
lol.
