One More Day

Er. We've got very little time left. Before I disappear for like, 2 services? Sad lar.


So well, today's a good day. Fury rocks! Its really good, and I chionged it in two hours. Otherwise, nothing really much happened. The usual talking, but of course, surprises all around again. As usual. If surprises become usual they won't be surprises anymore. So erm. Just a little contemplative today.

My phone's always on! If you do need help. Or something. Kinda bored tonight. After reading the books.

So well, goodnight!

So short!!???

More tomorrow, I hope. Hope, that is.

Of Astonishments, Birthdays and Charities

A, B, and C.

Lame, I know. But still.

Astonishments, all good, but I won't elaborate on it. I'll just say today I'm happy! =) =) =) 3C!


Birthdays?

Did anyone mention that? Certainly there's been a lot of birthday's in the recent past. And today. Happy Birthday, Xue! Happy Birthday to those in Nov, and those before Dec 14. Happy Birthday to Daniel, Mark, Yiheng, Guan Wei, Ivan, Jian Wei (adv), and Pei Yuan(adv). If I missed out your name, tell me!


Of Charities, today we, meaning the cell's Giordano kids went to help Adrian out at SGB. Wearing red, green, and blue, but all Giordano tees. Really funny. Lucky we grabbed a burger from Macs while waiting for Adrian to pick up the car. After that, we were straight to suntec, where we ran into jam after jam....

After like, an extremely, interminable, inordinate amount of time, we arrived at suntec city towers, having to collect the wish gifts from three locations. Level 14, there was an okay amount of stuff. We took like, half an hour to bring it all down..

At Level 33, there was an immense amount of stuff, like four times the amount. We took hopelessly long to bring it all down. This was compounded by the fact that the security guards didn't feel like being helpful. Ask us to bring here bring there, what clear the walkway, so on and so forth. Really sian. We finally crammed all the stuff in Adrian's van, but that was after a long time, and tons of effort. Daniel and Kai Jie got stuck at level 33 for half an hour, with the rest of the stuff. Slackers. -.-

Then, at Level 25, lucky lucky very little things. But, the officer Andrew dragged me and craig off to the next tower to carry MORE stuff down. well, we lugged and lugged all the stuff down, until FINALLY, we managed to load everything into the vans. And we had the problem of making our way back at taxi. The most drama part of the event.

We had two groups of 4. As the other group had a girl, they had to go first. So the first cab goes by, then the second. All empty, but none of them stopping. The third cab. It stops! We, like nice gentlemen we are, wave it on to the second group. But we and they didn't know that the cab was only going to some place far far away, so they were kinda unhappy, and we were laughing their heads off.

The next cab, was a silver cab, and kia, and therefore deemed too expensive for us to take. So they koped it. And we forgot that we would be reimbursed. Really stupid, as we were in a position to ks them. Sad lar. The next five cabs went by without stopping, and we called Adrian to come.

I got on the phone. Daniel took out his handphone camera. He was snapping photos of us so that we could post them on the cell blog. And so, I had to alternate between talking to Adrian on the phone, and to talk pictures.

Then, it threatened to rain. We didn't want to move, but the primer did. Finally, we moved over to the taxi stand. And we left him standing there as we went to take a look at candy empire, and buy water. We took more pics! Uncharacteristic of me.

Finally, when we reached back HQ, we went to eat. At 4 in afternoon. -.- We ate one plate of hokkien mee each, one and a half plates of carrot cakes, shared of course, and a plate of famous char kway teow. Whee. Full like siao. Adrian treated us to a cup of soya bean milk. Thanks! So we full full, happy happy go home. Talk crap the whole way to the mrt, almost got lost, and so on and so forth. Sang with Christ in the vessel. No idea why we did that. Random, I guess. We must have really been high on laughing.

So well, to J8 and I couldn't find the CDs that I wanted. Really sad. The only sad part of today. Yeah. Overall, its been an enjoyable and exciting day!

Thank God for today! And thank God for putting me in 3C! So many 2Q ppl!

Cell!

Today, I went cell early to play guitar, crap and discuss the chalet with Daniel and Adrian. I bought lunch for Daniel. Which was one measly McChicken. He wasn't too happy about that, but still. Whatever. We tried to play guitar, slacked around, and generally waited for cell to start.

Then, we had an unexpected guest. At Adrian had to go out to do something for BB HQ, drive some van here and there for SGB, Shynn came to babysit us, and also about some other stuff. So well, since both Adrian and Shynn hadn't eaten lunch, they went out, taking the keys, and leaving us without keys. Then Joel and John showed up. It was hilarious. We couldn't open the door, so they couldn't come in and eat the lunch they had brought. We were all laughing away. So they went down to eat at the Resident's corner at the void deck.

Then they all showed up at the door. Finally. Including James and Craig. And Shynn finally back with the keys. But that was half an hour later. Since Adrian wasn't back yet, we helped to set up his christmas tree. We were faced with a shortage of lights. So we carried out a physics experiment.

We exposed two light bulb strings and we linked them together, so that we would have a string that was double in length. In such a dangerous and risky way, we successfully did it! I can't really explain it, but well, if you were there...

Then we waited some more, played guitar, and so on, until Adrian came back at 5. We had word and worship, the guitar player was James, which was quite good. I had a word that told me to go read the Bible consistently. So I'll have to go do just that.

Here we go again.

Since I'm bored, I'll finish this up!

Dt - Well, well, well. I didn't interact or get to know you during 1Q days or the first half of this year. But, we did get to know each other much better in the next half of the year. Definitely we did. We shared a kind of understanding. That I can't quite put into words. Like going back to Suwe during the chalet night. I hope to get to know you better. God bless!

Darren - I never knew you well. Never quite understood your changes and mood swings. I'm sorry for that. But I'm not sorry for having you in 2Q. You certainly brightened up our day sometimes, with you and your hysterical laughter, random sayings and so on. Thanks for that. And good luck with your RA. =)

Wesley - The six-pack man with the low and mature voice. O.o Well, I guess that you are one of the most mature of us. Knows when to do the right thing, when to say the right thing. And to cap it all, is pro in most subjects. Like Darren. So well, thanks for being a secure person so that when we have stuff to ask or things to do, we can come to ask you! Wish I'd got to know you better. I wish that a lot now. But too bad for me.

Rong Jun - I probably don't know anything about you beyond the fact you're the school Pokemon champ. And you are really good at Pokemon. And GBA, DS stuff. Sorry for that, and thanks for making all of us proud of you. All the best! Sorry that I've nothing more to say

Ji'an - I seriously don't know you. Beyond the fact that you rock at computers, and hack a whole lot too! Not to mention helping us out countless times when we needed help with IT stuff. Thanks for that, and when you hack next time, either not get caught, or think of the consequences first! Preferably the latter.

Wen Zheng - I didn't know you until we sat right next to each other in class. You're the guy that brightens up our day in that little corner of the class with your jokes and crap. You and Jia Rong. But you're a loyal friend that we can count on, so far. And not to mention the class soccer captain. You'll do well in the future. I'm quite sure of that! I'm sorry I've so little to say, even as I know you better than I know some other people. But well, I guess you know what I would say if I could say it. ._.

Jia Rong - You make us laugh a whole lot. You're aggressive as a soccer player and as a person. You're good at lit. You like lit. But as a person, I don't know you well either. I wish I did. Again. You're the last but you're certainly not the least. Thanks for being there to brighten up our day, and just to provide some support when we needed it. All the best.


And so I'm done. After a long, long hiatus, and despite many things, I've finished this.

2Q, you guys ROCK.

And I wish you were my class for the next two years.

But that can't be. So, we'll settle for being friends. And continue o work together.

Hiringa!

P.S I can't even remember the class cheer. Paiseh.

P.P.S Should I do something like this for church too? Or just a few select people. ><

All for Love

Nice song. Haha

All for love a Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love heavens cried
For love was crucified

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You

Let me sing all for love
I will join the angel song
Ever holy is the Lord
King of Glory
King of all

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You


All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You

one more time

So here we go again. I like posting on Tuesday. Seems so to me, at least.

Jey-sng - You're the tall guy. The quiet guy who sits in the corner and thinks. You rarely blow up, but if you do. Well, you really do. I never knew you well, never understood your problems. But we are all proud of you. Moor House badminton, and a host of other stuff. I'll never forget the time you shouted Adi down. Ah well. All the best.

Ry - Never knew you well. I might have tried to, at some point or another, but we never really clicked. I'm having the same subject combi as you, so there's a high chance that I'll be in the same class as you. But you, the responsible prefect. I'll have to see how that turns out! =) See you! And come back to God. He always has the time for you!

Suwe - Thanks for that MSN convo. You probably won't know how much it meant to me. Thanks for listening, and showing understanding. Even if you've forgotten what you did, I won't. All the same, I didn't quite understand the times when you flared up and walked off. I hope I will. Soon.

Guano - You tormented me, teasing, poking, so on and so forth. But we did come to an understanding. Fellow Arsenal fan, huh? Wish I'd got to know the guy inside, behind that veneer of 'who cares' attitude. Have fun next year, and try not to be so bad to the next guy you sit next to! Stay bubbly and happy.

Teoh - Can't say that I know you well, but I know you carry plenty of hurts and troubles inside you. Don't be so bitter! Share with someone you can trust, okay? Less cynical, maybe. But you'll do better! You can overcome that stupid maths problem. All the best.


Next five sometime else, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

Going?

Seriously, I'm leaving for a land quite far from here, and I won't see you guys for quite a while. It's depressing. I'd rather not go! But, of course, I have to. It's a family thing, you see. Gotta go with the family. I will miss church for two weeks, miss the special guest speaker this coming Sunday too. Be out of the loop. No internet, no nothing. Just rushing around. I'll miss every single one of you. It's out of the country, and I might not see you guys ever again. Life is fragile, and precious. You never know what could happen. Pray for me? Journey mercy, and all that. Pray that God will speak to me during this trip. Something fruitful, huh? Yeah.

Anyway, I'll thank 2Q, once again, for all you've done for me this year. We'll continue to see each other, and hopefully we'll continue to share the same camaraderie that we share at the moment. Thanks to Adi, Anderson, Snao, JeCh, Tim, PY, Yiheng, StepHen, Deep, Chia, David, Martin, Weng Hong, Mark, JS, Ry, Suwe, Guano, Teoh, Dt, Darren, Wesley, Frongs, Ji'an, Wenzy, and Jia Rong.

See you next year! Hopefully, that is.

For my brothers and sisters in church, thanks for this wonderful year. We've consolidated our friendships, and even made new ones. We've definitely got to know each other much better. May the Lord bless us greatly and continue to use us for His work. I'll see you on the service after the one on the Holy Spirit. Or maybe earlier. We never know. xD May God bless you! And keep me and my family and everyone on the trip safe.

Thanks to Jian Hui, Malcolm, Raymond, Sheng Chou, Dan and his boys, Ce Yao, and all other Jian Hui's 12 that I haven't mentioned. Thanks to my brothers and spiritual father, Adrian, Aaron, Brandon, Craig, Daniel, Wei Bin, James, Mark, Joel, John, Jeremy, Joshua and Joshua. Thanks to the sisters, Shynn, Miaoting, Xueting, Olivia and Vanessa.

Thanks for being my friends and mentors, in terms of some of the older guys! Have a good time at the two sermons that I'll miss. I'm very sure you'll enjoy them.

I'll continue my eulogy of sorts for 2Q tomorrow. Or maybe later today. Depends. We'll see.

Thanks for the Memories

It's been a wonderful two days with 2Q in the class chalet. We talk, we laugh, and we play together. It may very well be the last time we hold such things. Apart from a few disagreements about sleeping arrangements, general cleanliness and Xbox-related issues, we were fine. Thanks for making my two days so enjoyable. Strangely, we found enjoyment and peace doing some things like taking a walk down the beach. Skipping stones across the water. Ry, yeah, you're very imba. Jech too! The barbecue. I didn't help out much. Sorry. But the food was good, and kudos for Ms Keh and Mrs Ong for making it down. It means quite a lot to us! But I definitely helped to clear up all the soft drink cans, spilled snacks, and all that crap in the chalet before we slept. Thanks to Chia, Dt, and all those that helped!

I didn't sleep much. Too busy playing. Well, it was worth it. We'll try to do this again, ya? Good times to remember. Anyway, breakfast was at Macs, and we had an unexpected guest. Dunno if it really was unexpected for some people who knew ahead of time. But well, all the same. Back home, and I slept the afternoon away. Once again, thanks to Darren, Deep and all other people that contributed to this chalet's success.
Anyway, I got a very nice Halo 3 kill! Yay!

I would like to go on with what I've started. It's been a week already!

David: Well David, you're a good friend. Always ready to help. Some might read it as being extra, maybe you are at some points of time, but well, I'll thank you for taking the initiative at points of time. A bit of emotional management, and you'll be fine. Sorry for picking on you sometimes. No hard feelings! I hope I won't have to play soccer against you next year. Probably we'll have a hard time. But you won't have us as defenders! LoL ._. See you next year.

Martin: I never quite got along with you. Never seen eye to eye before. But all I can say, thanks for doing your best for us, the class, whenever you could. Like the Drama Challenge. And, on a more recent note, thanks for your rechargable batteries! Hope I'll know you better in the future. So yeah.

Weng Hong: Now, you're really good at EL Lit and related things. Thanks for making the Drama Challenge such an immense success. And for cheering us up when we needed it. I didn't know you so well, but as far as I know, you're all good. Thanks, man!'

Mark: I've known you for so many years already. The music maestro. I know I work well with you, but I don't really know you. Don't think anyone in the class really does. Maybe try to be a bit more active in class stuff. =) And good luck for the future.

I'll continue tomorrow. Hope tomorrow isn't next week. On a side note, Cell's tomorrow! Yay!

I'm dead tired now.

Of Chickenpox and Continuations

Well. I have chickenpox. Stupid, really, I'm not a kid anymore. Therefore, I shouldn't be getting this stupid, irritating virus. I can't go for cell, cousin's wedding, church and class chalet. Coincidentally, they all start with 'C'. Lame, I know. But I'm really pissed. I'm going to be stuck here at home! Really sad. So, I really hope I get well sooner. Um, anyways, thanks to all those who replied my sms, if you didn't receive it, forget it, but for those who did and replied, thanks!

Anyway, I'll continue with what I started two days ago.

Here we go.

Tomorrow. Morning. Cos I've got to go sleep now. Sorry.

Continuation

Here's me continuing with what I started yesterday.

Pei Yuan: I don't know you that well. Really. To me, your the guy who studies a lot. But of course, you've got that game boy in front of you. You're a model student. Always hands up homework, good with the teachers and all. Not to mention that your copious notes have saved my life many times before. Thanks so much for that, and for being around in the Drama Challenge. Too pro liaoz. Will I be relying on your genius again next year? We'll see.

Yiheng: The maths and cubing pro. Thanks for intro-ing the class to the cube. Seriously, I wish that I hadn't been on such fragile terms with you. Seems such a waste. But what's done is done. We'll still wave at each other across the corridor. Maybe Halo together sometime. I will always remember when you and snao held the fort with Swords-Midships last year. For more than two hours. I'll see you next year.

Stephen: You're the uber horny guy who makes everyone laugh. You're really good at sports and everything. I wish I knew the Stephen behind all the sick jokes and actions. But never mind. Probably will see you in the years to come. Just be less horny. A little more mature, yeah? Not just physically.

Jasdeep: Well, its been a long two years. Grats for being such a wonderful partner in defence. Even if I'm uberly slow. xD We'll still be friends. Thanks for being there and cheering me up. Thanks for lending a listening ear when I needed one. Yeah. See you next year. Man U won't win this season, you'll see.

Chia: Hyper, hyper, hyper. That's one of the things I will remember. Your infectious laughter and smiles always brightens up our day. Anyway, I wish I'd known you better. I never quite understood. I hope I will. See you :)

And that's five. Next five on the way.

Down the Drain

The academic year's over. School's out. I should be rejoicing. But I'm not. I feel a sense of detachment. I sense of emptiness. I won't wake to go to school tomorrow, and sit down and discuss the MU:Arsenal 2-2 draw. I won't be racing down to the astro with you guys to play soccer. At least not all together. I won't be laughing along with you guys in class. I probably won't sit and emo with you people anymore in the dark, blacked-out class. It all doesn't bear thinking about. I'm all nostalgic and drifting away on a cloud of wonderful memories. But I'll soon fall down to the ground. New class, new teachers, and new classmates. Probably new friends. But I'll never forget you guys. We'll still eat together in the canteen, play soccer together, yeah? I'll see you all next year.

I'm confused. I'm feeling unhappy, regretful, and for a reason I can't quite isolate. It'll all blow over, but it would be better if I knew. I really dunno. Well, count my blessings I suppose. I'll be fine.

A little thank you to 2Q

(rhymes O.o)

Adi - Well, you never fail to ask the hard and difficult questions, don't you? You are a nice guy at heart. Just be less serious, and know how to let go and have some fun, yeah? All the best, man. :)

Anderson - I thought I knew you, didn't I? Well, I'll let bygones be bygones, yeah? Just be a little more sensitive, kays? You never fail to brighten up the class during some boring periods. Give us all a good laugh to destress. Thanks for that. Well, good luck.

Shao Wei - I don't know you all that well. Well, we still can have fun together, can't we? I have always admired your ability to not listen in class, and still churn out A's for your subjects. But of course, you got the talent, and you got to put in the effort. You can go real far. Don't let it go to waste. I see you next year.

Jech: Well Jerry, it's been a long five years. For the first three, I barely knew you. Well, I've gotten to know you better. Really, you're quite a good friend. Go for it, you hear me? You'll be able to. All the best, and I'll see you next year. :)

Tim: Tim, you got the brains. You got the ability, so don't let yourself down. Don't be just enough, be the best that you can be. Don't shortchange yourself. And care a little more. Less of the heck care attitude. Don't be so aloof. Don't have to keep up the Mr. Cool face. Good luck. :)

I'm tired, so I'll post the next 5 tomorrow, and the so on.

2Q'07 ftw!
