Lost in the Sound of Seperation.

Wowzer, haven't touched this page in a looooooooooooooooooooong time. Oh well, might as well update a little since I have sometime.
You see, I'm still on MC & technically speaking, today's my last day (its 12:02 on a Tuesday morning). Congested throat's been clearing up, so that's good. Neck's a torture though, blame it on my sleeping posture. Gonna do some revision before going on a movie marathon. Seriously, you have no idea how fun it can be.
& oh, Festival of Praise is this coming weekend! 3 days of praise & worship with other X-tians around the island, gonna be awesome-o. If you're going, guess I'll cya there. If not, you have no idea what you're missing out on.

So long & goodnight. [:

"Hold on, 'cause its been too long.
Hold on, 'cause freaking out is really over-rated."

Others.

Woah, what a weekend it has been.

I'm sure Pst. Joakim's sermons left lasting impressions & even brought back memories for the whole congregations. Now I know what it really means to be Christ-like. It's not just about being religious & constantly serving in church, it's also about being others-centered & reaching out to people outside the 4 walls of the church. Now, it means so much more for us Peirce peeps in church to do even more to win Peirce for His glory. It doesn't matter if the school's culture is bad. It doesn't matter if our schoolmates aren't the ideal friends we want. All that matters is changing & impacting lives one by one, at all cost.

I'm sure everyone would wonder at least once: If you're a Christian & you see someone in need of help, would you be the standard Christian we see today, who has the typical S'porean attribute & mind your own business, or would you be the original & genuine one, who would practically give your life to save another?
Tough decision, isn't it? That's what I thought too. Sure, you can say you would be able to do it when you're asked but when it comes down to actually making that decision, its not as simple as you thought initially.

Peirce strength's currently 8. I'm most certainly not satisfied with it, obviously after the sermons & all the testimonies, & I'm sure my comrades feels the same as well.
It won't be an easy task but if it means to have lives saved, we'll do whether it takes to fulfill it.
School's starting in a few hours time. I'm ready to make things happen, & I believe with all the faith I have in my heart that He's just waiting for the chance to magnify the results.


Others, that's the word for this season of salvation.

"Where are the people that accused me?
The ones who beat me down and bruised me?
They hide just out of sight, can’t face me in the light.
They’ll return but I’ll be stronger.

Sometimes it’s hard to just keep going
But faith is moving without knowing.
Can I trust what I can’t see?
To reach my destiny?
I want to take control but I know better.

Forget the fear, it’s just a crutch.
It tries to hold you back & turn your dreams to dust.
All you need to do is just trust.

God, I want to dream again.
Take me where I’ve never been.
I want to go there, this time I’m not scared.
Now I am unbreakable, it’s unmistakable.
No one can touch me, nothing can stop me."

;Fireflight - Unbreakable

Its currently 2:41am on a Thursday morning.
Plan on doing some school work later around 10+ & heading to church in the evening for SOW lessons.
Gonna hit the sack soon but I kinda stumbled upon this video that I kinda find funny.
What do you think? [:

Wish you were here.

Currently at Wynn's house chilling. Apparently, Wynn's owning Zhiyi playing Naruto on PS2.
Haha I've no idea how to play that game, seriously.

Hmmm its already 3rd (or 5th) day of the holidays, time seems to fly really fast to me.
But there is still time for me to catch up on studies. Chinese Os on Monday was easier than I thought, but the hall was bloody warm. School could invest on more fans yo.

Tmrw's SOW lesson in church, but im not sure I got enrolled. Need to check with KS soon.
& I think I know why Joyce got a sorethroat. She must have tried screaming like Adrian but resulted in ultimate fail. Hmmmm, should be luh. Haha.
Listening to songs on Ivan's blog & thinking, "Indie's more soothing than zen music."

& oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE PANG!

Amazing, because it is.

RedRain PM was simply amazing today. Got a preview of what's to expect for the gig that is happening in a few hours time. But I'm pretty sure there will be surprises here & there so I'm stoked about it.
Few friends backed out last min but I'm sure its still gonna be a fruitful event.
You know why? 'Cause He works in mysterious ways & He's simply amazing.....because He is.

Saturday's plans:
1) Meet Asher to get back tix.
2) Jamming session with 12th&hyde.
3) Meet up with CG & invited friends at 2:30pm.
4) RedRain gig at 5pm.
5) After concert party at 8pm.

Tired? Pfft, gyea.
Inspired? Without a doubt.

Amazing Because It Is - The Almost

Reinventing your exit.

Skipped school today, had muscle spasms & i kinda overslept.
Took some time to revise some maths at macs so i feel kinda good about that. met fee, joyce, wenqi & minjie for movie at cathay, watched angels & demons. it was awesome-o to say the least, with all the sudden twists in the movie.
Met JJ for dinner at BK before leaving for church to help out on effects patches for RedRain this weekend. From what I heard, they're arriving in a few hours time as I'm typing this. Totally stoked to meet them again, especially D.Pfanstiel. Got so much stuffs i wanna ask him. C:
Left church around 10+ with Kesia to take bus. On our way to the bus-stop, she pointed smth out to me that i didn't really took notice of until now & that actually make me feel very blessed to be who i am.

Woohoo, this week's getting better already.
:DDD

Reinventing Your Exit (Acoustic Cover) - KXY

It's coming.

Geog. paper today was alright, although I was almost late. (Thank God I wasn't.)
The day went pretty well for me. Went home to get some stuff before heading over to church for NewGen meeting. It was short but it was fruitful in small, significant ways.
I'm sure the 7 of us will be able to win over our school in the near future for J.C. I can totally see a whole line of us in the auditorium during svc, jumping & praising Him. There will be so many of us that we would have to come early to queue up for seats & ushers will have problems ushering us in. Red Rain would be the perfect opportunity for salvations & I believe the harvest will be tremendous. People's hearts will be much open to what we believe in & that they will be planted & keep coming back for more. & more than just that, they won't come back just for the music, the atmosphere, the people but for the feeling of peacefulness & love that only He can provide. (Did I mention that I have free tickets to give out?)

Do I hear a big Amen for that? [:

Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahoonieszxc!!
Just completed my CME test & now I'm slacking in schol's com lab. Maths lesson next, got vector test though. What a bummer.
Oh well, holla at ya later!

:DDD

Control yourself, take only what you need from it.

School was good today, although I missed Geog. remedial. Darn it.
Went back home to change before meeting up with CG for prata lunch. Well, not exactly. Most of us were late so we didn't eat together. Fee & ZY had effects meeting so had to leave earlier. So only left me, JJ & Joyce.
Was an interesting meal with both of them. JJ was practically making those wierd noises of hers every now & then, be it eating her tissue prata or playing her PSP. You really are turning into an ah soh, my friend. Haha.
Candy came by later after school & was oh-so-excited to tell us about the new clothes she bought. Trust me, you'll die laughing at how she expressed her 'joy'.
Joyce took a cab home while the rest of us took bus home. Had conference with effects crew over the present for Pst Lia's birthday this coming Sunday. Seems to be a very interesting one so will be looking forward to making it. Speaking of which, KS just informed us drummers that we'll be putting up a performance this Sunday too! Got rehearsals this Thurs & Fri so I'm totally stoked about it.

On a 'lighter' note, just had Mum's home-cooked kangtang curry fish & prawns. Ohmygoodness, the curry was sedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap siol! Hmmm but it seems to be taking a toll on my weight, even Colin says I've gained weight. Gotta control myself from eating too much. No more sushi buffets for awhile I guess.

Hmmmm gym, anyone? :/

The Great Escape.

Phew, just reached home at 2a.m on this Sunday morning. Missed my last bus after CEG outing & had to take a bus to Whampoa & walk back home from there. Turns out the bus didn't stop at where I wanted & instead ended up at some small, ulu interchange at the inner parts of that area. Didn't have much choice so I took my chances & walked till I found a bridge to cross over to Toa Payoh.

As much as I was tired, I actually found the walk quite interesting. It's quite funny how such walks can actually relax your mind & let you think & reflect about your day. It allows you to think about stuffs that you never really took notice of & give you new revelations that in turn gives you a fresh new perspective of life. Hmmm maybe I should take such walks more often? Its good exercise anyways. Thank goodness I was wearing those pair of cushion-ish skater sneaks Dad bought, kinda felt like I was walking on pillows.

On the other hand, I saw loads of rats on my way back home. Govt. ought to bring itself up a notch, don't you think? [:

We are the champions.

Peirce vs. ACS Barker.

Score: 8 - 5.

Plate 2nd runner-up.

Thanks supporters & everyone who came down for the match for 1 reason or another, appreciate it.

[:

Lies for the liars.

Just got home.
Almost scared some factory worker to death 'cause I was walking behind him & not making much noise. Prolly thought I was some mugger out to get some loot from him.

Anyways, I've been thinking lately.
Life for me isn't the same as before. I've let myself rot too much for far too long.
I haven't been honest to ppl around me & most importantly, I haven't been honest to myself.
Gyea, situation in the family ain't the one I would wish for but I can only do that much. I can no longer use it as an excuse to fall further & let it take control of my life. As much as I love my family, I can only pray that it gets better. & I have faith that it will.

Its so much easier to let everything just crumble down with me going down with it. So much so that sinning seems to be almost a norm.
But that's not the way I want it to be. I know for sure that life's has much more purpose than I can imagine. I may not know what is it now but I'm that damn sure that its for a better ending.
& all this starts right.....now.




"It's when i seem to lose the only thing I care.
I realized and saw its light in the night.
I was beside a sparkling source of life, but sometimes I still saw my death behind that smile.

I'll be better with no remorse, but can I stop seeing you everywhere?
Run away, things are getting worst.
I can't stop believing you'll be there.

Lies, I used to understand them.
And all this time, I never comprehend them."

Collide your soul with mine.

Didn't go school today, had block nose & flu.
Apparently, a previous nose-bleed dried around some mucus & got stuck in my nose.
Gyea I know, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Match with RI today.
Didn't win but our performance is much better than last year's encounter with them.
Match with ACS Barker next Monday seems hopeful all of the sudden.

Tmrw plans:
1) School
2) Lunch with CG
3) Drum prac.

Totally stoked, eh?







"Collide your soul with mine & I'll send your soul to the hell that it came from.
By this I know you'll never set your eyes on a quest you can't survive.
There's no surprise, your head hangs from my hand.
Your mouth won't seal your lies."

Chelsea Smile.

Eh oh wassuppzxc boys & girls.
This week went pretty well, although I haven't been feeling well these few days.
Blame it on the southern weather eh?

Didn't go school on Friday, don't see the point anyways.
3 lessons with no recess. Then its X-Country after that.
Whattheballzxc?
Went church to finish up effects pacth for Sat svc & for CG meeting instead.
Pst Josh Kelsey was preaching this week & he was going through OSS with Phenomena.
Super powerful man. You could practically feel the songs are much more impactful than usual.

Was supposed to go CIP but totally overslept so went church straight instead.
Svc went well according to some ppl but I felt I could've done better but hey, I did my best & that's what counts, right? [:

Had maths tuition on Sunday morning.
Totally shacked after that, running nose didn't help much neither.
Took a nap till 6+ before having dinner with family.
Scrumptious dinner & company of cousins did lift my spirits though, so I guess it was all good.


School tmrw,
Monday blues no doubt.

My shower gel smells/taste like H-Two-O.
Isotonic shower shampoo ftw yawww.

We were born for this.

Eh oh wassuppzxc boys & girls.
It was Valentine's weekend in case you don't know. Schedule was pretty packed from Friday - Sunday but it was really fun & I was quite contented.

Friday
- Didn't go school, old knee injury came back to haunt me. Couldn't walk much & a bruised waist didn't improve the situation. Doc said I needed to wait till it's less swollen. Got a bad feeling that I'm gonna be out for at least 2wks.
Take a little afternoon nap before heading to church to finish up on effects patch for Saturday's EV svc. It was also Pst. Joakim's 1st day of his 3 part series so had to be there early. Svc was about these 10 modern day matrys who's statues are actually above the entrance of London's Westminister Abbey (if I didn't spell wrong). They pretty much revolutionize the Christians of today with what their beliefs & the actions & sacrifices they gave to make things happen.

Saturday
- HeartFest day, was totally stoked about it. Woke up early to prepare & run through for EV svc after HeartFest. Went to join CG to play all the games including DDR, Guitar Hero WT & the ever-popular Gladiator machine.
Guitar Hero booth was a blast. Was supposed to play with Fedora & Eve but Fee last min told me she don't know how to sing the song (3 players = 2 guitars, 1 mic). So she became my mic stand & I played the guitar & sang at same time (sounds like D.Goh much). We played Misery Business btw. The choruses were killers man.
Gladiator machine was cra-zayyyyyy. Our grp created a record of shortest matches during the whole event. Average durations of our matches is what, 3 secs? Mine ended in hilarious fashion. Match starts, opponent hits me in the head & my headgear flew off & next moment he fell off & I won (^ ^).
Left the grp for DJ duty at 1:30pm. Was pretty nervous at 1st but after awhile I kinda got a hang of it & enjoyed it very much. Got very good responses from the leaders & the congregation. So I was very much contented with my performance.

Svc was at 5pm. Prepared the effects patch but some system prob came up so it was quite hectic. It was fixed few mins before svc so it was quite a relief. Had fun doing effects for the svc, especially during the praise songs with the punchlines. Had a little mistakes doing it but I'm sure I gave my best. Learned quite a lot from this so it was all good.

Hanged around & fellowshipped with CEG before leaving at around 11.
Reached home, layed on bed, KO-ed.

Sunday
- Woke up early for maths tuition at home. Got better understanding on probability, quite sure it'll come in handy during common tests. Went out for cheena tuition after that & head for church for the last day of Pst. Joakim's sermon. Enjoyed quite well. He'll be coming back in June so I'm looking forward to that.
Head home earlier for family dinner. T'was good to catch up with family members.

Dad's coming home soon. Stoked.


"With faith, you'll trigger a landslide.
You'll kill off this common sense of mind."

You are the way that's everlasting.

Well well well, its been sometime since I've updated this blog eh?
Nth much been going on recently, except for the fact that season's starting in 14 hrs time from now (I counted). 1st match's against Jurong sec at CCAB. Quite stoked about it, confident we'll be able to win.
School has been okay for me. Haven't been feeling well this past few days. CAs coming up in 2wks time. Gotta put in the effort, Dee.
Chinese new year was good, bought myself a spanking new, handy-dandy psp. Have been busy playing PES 09 & Fifa 09 on it. Some rad vids are on it too, so bus rides ain't so boring no more. [:

Kinda looking forward to next wk because of 3 reasons:
1) HeartFest is on next Saturday, 14th Feb (Gyea, its on Valentine's & the ad. poster's up there on the left.)
2) I'm 1 of the 4 DJs hosting the event. (Now, ain't that exciting?)
3) Pastor Joakim's seminar's next wk! (He's amazing, trust me.)
HeartFest's jam-packed with loads of stuff, I tell ya. There'll be RockBand game, DDR, Gladiator Game, food & drinks and a whole line-up of FUN FUN FUN.

Honestly speaking, this year's church events are pretty shweet, with 2 gigs included in the schedule too. Not gonna say much but its gonna be awesome-o.
:DDD

Parachute Band. [:

Guess who's back, back again.

Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahoonies.
Its been quite awhile since I updated this here blog of mine.
So let's start the new year with a brand new post. (How exciting.....NOT.)

Anyways, school was as usual today. I don't know why but I actually enjoy going school nowadays.
Skipped rugby training to go church to finish up effects patch for Saturday's Zone F svc, managed to finish some hmwk in the process too. I must say, I'm pretty satisfied with what I accomplished today. Doing the effects patch was kinda tough at 1st but its gets fun once you get a hold of it.
Reached home at around 10:15 pm. Ate dinner, packed bag & off to bed soon.


Tired? Gyea. Inspired? Definitely.
