today we had cg appreciation day/ new year party! basically went to huimin's house and have some games and food. haha we played win, lose or draw and some guessing of song title game and treasure hunt. lol suppose to get 5 strands of hair, 5 10c coins, 4 watches, a necklace and an mp3 plus some stuff i forget... haiz sadly we lost coz no one wanted to pluck their hair. so sad...
anyway today is the time for me to make my new year resolution with just less than 3h to new year.
Spiritual life
1. read the Bible at least 3 more times (till now i think i barely read finish it once)
2. daily devotion and prayer once a day with at least 15min when i start and slowly increasing to an hr as the year goes by. ( one of the resolutions i made that nv came to pass this yr. but i believe this year it will. must be disciplined)
3. go into either usher ministry or children's church ministry (serve the ppl. haha love the small kids lol)
Family and friends
1. able to find a buddy that u can speak to no matter what the issue is. (new class le hope can find a good friend there)
2. spend more time with my family ( this yr i hardly spent one day a week with my family... got trng and studies haiz)
3. be able to open up my feelings to other ppl (sshh i managed to hide most of my feelings this yr... no one knows not even my parents.)
Emotional and personal growth.
1. be more sensitive to ppl's needs ( cannot be so 'dao' anymore)
2. be more tolerant to advice
3. learn how to play a guitar (one of this yr's resolution i failed to complete)
Health
1. 25 pull ups by june ( i think the last time i went gym was in sept... feeling so weak now)
2. 4.8km in under 20min (must start running every morn when sch reopens)
3. 2.4 km in 9min30s by june
4.weight to be maintained at 60kg.( this hol gained like 5kg le)
Education
1. make sure i pass every single darn test
2. then after fulfilling (1) then to get AABB
this year was a terrible year for me in terms of spiritual life and studies. luckily i had the hol to set it right but then it also meant that this yr was more or less wasted so next yr must really buck up.
JIA YOU!!!
i really enjoyed this hol... with so many diff experiences like working, 2 chalets, wonderful xmas (which had like 45000 ppl attending the xmas svc hehehe like 0.0125% of singapore's population was at city harvest last weekend), meeting new frens ( like gerard, seetoh, yingwei, heidi, charise, weeqin, liqin), gathering of old frens (like roger, ivan, james, wayne), revising some sch work, finishing pw (at last), celebrating new year day later.
it is really God's will to bring me back to this ever faithful cg of mine i guess. as it was really pure coincidence that i was ushered to a seat just beside them that fateful afternoon. if not for that usher, i really dun think i can get out of this pit hole now. oh well, a new year means new beginnings and new friends. i really hope that 2007 will be a yr full of wonderful memories like this yr yet without as many huge setbacks as 2006.
PS: delirious coming to church on jan 13-14 haha how exciting

for those who saw the straits article forum article today
http://www.chc.org.sg/english/main.cfm
actually i typed a whole lot more but the internet sort of crashed and i felt so fed up that i just decided to link it up. anyway my mom tried to pull me into her church after seeing that article, saying mine was a cult where we worhship the pastor not God. then i rebutted saying she have not seen or heard my pastor preached so how wld she know. so since she can't explain that, she used my dad and said if i wld like to see him get saved, i shld go to her church. then i told her there was no link and that my dad agreed to go to her church w/o me in the equation.
bottomline:
she just can't accept a contemporary way of worshipping God. and she wants me to go to her church. and i dun wanna do that as i feel that there is where my roots are. i seriously feel that my mom has her point and all coz my church is so far away but to me chc is where my spiritual brothers and sisters are.
PS: i finally got the gift for the angels and mortals game. and i shan't say whose one it is. just in case the person finds out (=

going to work tmr... haha
just did the interview yesterday... not bad at least the guy who interviewed me was nice so was the guy at the reception. the worst one is the phone girl. when i called the office, she gave me the type of "kk i got it dun bug me..." attitude.
at least get to kill some time of this long hols... not to mention earn some bucks while helping some charity organisation coz the job is for some fundraising thing. i think it is not bad considering u are not working just for ur own gains in a way... haiz lately there is so much stuff to do. esp with xmas around and the gifts and cards have to be done.

yanhan: hey! how's everything. just wanna check if you eould want to carry on trng?
me: just asking do u all have enough ppl to row?
yanhan: still can manage. but for now js(jing sheng) has no boat. dunno what coach gg to do bout him.yup.
me: how come? anyway i am not sure bot coming back coz competition is in july rite?
yanhan: cause mainly due to strokes. coach has let him try all kinds of boat but still not confirmed. yup. i was suppose to go on k2 with him but in the end didn't also. yup.. it's in july and our marathon is on 28 jan so wanted to ask you so you can make it back for the race.
me: are you all short of members to join the competition
yanhan: well, ny is always short of members. haha. we have like 10 ppl now? haha
why must you msg me today when i was enjoying something i had not done for months? your msg made me feel that i was sort of like the cause of all that trouble and at the same time it made me wonder whether am i really such a key person or am i just a person whom u need to fill the no.s
thou have decided that He will reign in my life. and that i will not go for any form of trng whom ever ask of me. this decision is final man. sorry yanhan and the rest of the team but i've decided to put God as my top priority with my studies after it.

last nite i watched this documentary called "battle of the sexes".
super sad sia. the guys got owned in almost evry thing like empathy test, language ability, hearing and some other stuff which i forgotten. the only thing they won in was things like car racing, and making use of physio-spatial skills to manouver a tractor around to do some stuff. the cool thing was this test to see if testostrogen can affect ur breathing and how fast u run. and they can find out frm the diff between the length of ur ring finger and index finger who is the fastest runner in ur grp as testostrogen affects ur body too.
oh yah and today i went to jj's hogc 24h praise and worship. it was quite cool lah for a small church to hold such an event. and i saw some cat high ppl there too. haha with faith, impossible is nothing lolz. ok now i am bored and gotta go for tuition... u know the one who looks like jason.(though his teaching is very good and concise)

gosh am i exhausted... i can barely walk w/o feeling the ache in my thighs and calf. that was only half a marathon and at first i thought it shld not be much of a problem ( as in not so killer). anyway the route was so screwed sia. at first for the 1st hr or so i was jogging quite happily as ppl around me were encouraging each other and joking around, furthermore the weather was nice... or so i tot. half an hr more into it, i was like going when is this gonna end... finally at the 1 1/2 hr mark i so the finish line and tot it was a little more but once again i was wrong... i saw the distance marker saying 5 more km. apparently we had to make a huge loop around kallang to get there. ok blah blah anyway after 2 grueling hrs of running with my legs cramping at the last km and my feet hot while body freezing for the last 6km, i finally made it out alive, though barely. anway so later i met up with roy and alvin who had completed slightly earlier than me and we waited for the rest and later took some photos.
oh well then after that i rushed down for prayer meeting and later prepared for huimin's birthday chalet lolz... after 2 months of prep and organisation, today was the grande finale to it all where we all get to fellowship with past and present E30 members and other friends. oh btw this was where the present came in(rmb the one i had to shop for 4h with terri, huili and peishan on fri) anyway we stayed on for the nite basically fellowshiping and having fun knowing more ppl like some new friends and all. i dun believe it man, at first we started out with uno stacko then later it was captain ball then monkey and finally the game least likely to be played in a church chalet... bluff. lolz. haha the entire thing was so fun. huimin had so many gifts sia, some were a gift in a gift lolz haha so blessed. oh yah i made 2 new friends there, amanda and daniel. they were so freaky at first glance due to their gothic outfit and all with eyeliner and black nail polish but actually they were quite nice ppl who know how to have fun and well also are considerate. i mean they were the guest and all yet they still help clear the stuff w/o anyone saying and they are super nice lah.... i shan't mention the incident here if not later i will offend others but trust me they are nice ppl. sure goes nv judge a book by it's cover.... haha
anyway another chalet tmr... gonna be fun

man i did one of the most impossible things in my life today. i went to shop with some friends for women's apparel. it took us like 4h to buy 2 tops and a bag not to mention to walk through the entire ps and bugis. it was till today that i realise there is so many things to look out for just to give girl some gift. u got to look for design, taste, whether she has it or not (or similar design), the wrapping, the card, the acesseries etc... omg i almost died there just to see 3 girls finding one top... coz they even noticed this small little stitch go out of place and all... i think i will not do this ever for a long time to come... too bad i was only guy there and it made the situation worst as i was so lost....
