Ep.3 - Final Stretch

2007-08-28T01:18:00.000-07:00

Ep.3 - Final Stretch

Thursday, ETE on Friday, 24th August, the only module which i am not confident about.. Rushing online self-test quizzes at hub. Quite a fruitful day, especially near the ending, where we did until Quizzes 5C. 3 more of 'us' here.

Jinle, Boss - Unlike bosses, he's not the man-behind-the-action guy, he will not just say things, but he will really do one, especially when it comes to 'sparring', he will not get too rough, but he will do powerful moves.

Jasper, Guai Boy - Nice guy, very friendly towards people he know, especially girls! See he so happy, actually he's not really looking at anything. His attendance for class also good, just that he sleep in class, too much gaming at night, i guess.

Chyuan Loong, Music Bank - Ask him any song, he should know, when at student plaza, hub, even in lift, when people listen to music, he will know what it is, english music, though. He also draws well, much better than any of us.

Ep.2 - The Random Three

2007-08-13T18:18:00.000-07:00

Ep.2 - The Random Three

Its getting boring these days at home, due to the study break, gotta get out and study somedays. Anyway, got nothing much to say, just wanna introduce some of my classmates, but u shld noe about the already, here are 3 of them, taken at random.

Raymond, Champion - He was sleeping, i didnt take this! He's our shifu, very dangerous, he does not show his face often, rumor has it that whenever someone sees his face he will feel stressed

Goshi, Superhero - This guy! One of the main reasons why my class behaves like that, i believe. He makes life in PDI much much more enjoyable i guess, bring laughter, thats for sure. I didnt take this too

Ching How, Hunk! - He is kind of a strange guy, he used to gym alot compared to us, and can be considered our class hunk, according to Goshi. dont be mistaken, he looks like a boy but he is actually quite tough, however, his work shows the soft side of him.

My class has many more people. but i only got 3 decent pics, though all show their left view.

Ep.1 - My course

2007-08-12T10:32:00.000-07:00

Ep.1 - My course

Should i? Or should i not? Putting these pics up... This are my classmates, 2 of them, many more not here. I am from Product Design & Innovation, and this is what some of us do! Climbing trees, playing around at the back of our hub near canteen 4. Since this is one of my first few new posts, it should be alrite to post this.
This scene happened during one of the most crucial periods of my course in PDI, and so we had to find a way to relieve the stress. I now love my class more than ever, and am proud to be with this bunch of people, four classes in my batch, but only my class is like that, how come?

Anyway, its kind of strange that i post like this, will return to the original format soon.

They love quarrelling, but nothing can deny their 'chemistry', they look like good partners to me:)

Season 2: Prelude - Would you know my name?

Much time has passed since my last post, not that i am too busy, but as i drag, i get lazier and lazier. Guess that is the case with many people, not just with blogging. It will all become a vicious cycle, which can only be overcome if we get stronger.

Many things have happened after Episode 17 in Season 1, give me some time, next episode will come up soon, with some blur pictures taken from my phone camera(better than nothing!)

Ep. 17 - Glory is released through hard work

2007-06-17T01:23:00.000-07:00

Ep. 17 - Glory is released through hard work

Glory is released through hard work! This phrase keeps coming back to me ever since i heard it from Ps. Kong this morning, and i want to work hard to release whatever potential i have. Gotta rush Project II submission by tonight already so have to start thinking of thumbnails.

In the afternoon after service, i went to eat chicken rice and then go home. However, i decided to try another bus to go to Toa Payoh and it was a really long and boring trip, no wonder nobody was in the bus with me!(only at a point of time between some stops) And so i took some pictures out of boredom, want to show the empty seats, not that im narcissistic

2007-06-17T01:22:00.000-07:00

Boring Sunday afternoon, nobody behind me..

Ep. 16 - To Chinatown

It was a rainy morning today and it was good for sleep, when the sun came out around 2pm, i arranged with Ching How and Hua Qiang to go to Chinatown to take some pictures for our Project 2, to design something for some organisation, don't know if i can say this.. So this was what happened - we took some pictures, it may be boring, so i will only post some 'action' that i caught

Ep. 14 - The Hunt is on
Man this was one of the days where i felt very satisfied. In the morning i met up with Hua Qiang in the SCC clubhouse where i played the guitar and he watched bleach with Mashimaro, Then we went to Beauty World.

At Beauty World,

We walked around the whole building looking for our products, we were supposed to take pictures of 3 different coloured products with similar functions. I identified 2 watches while Hua Qiang found 2 toothbrushes.
Then we went to the top level and i ate Oreo, drank some Green Apple meal fibre drink and then ate Bak Chor (Guo Tiao). It was good but i didn't feel that the combination was right. Then we went back to the hub.

At the hub,

Met up with Ching How and Jasper and we took pictures of Jasper's pencil and we put everything together in Photoshop and got ready for printing. We then went to print our photos out.

After printing,

I went to Beauty World again, this time with Goshi, where i helped to ask the shop owners for permission to take pictures and helped hold some products, it was great, that i was able to help my friends, where i felt thankful to God that i am really able to be a blessing to those around me:)

Ep. 13 - POS App. Nite!

Ep. 13 - POS App. Nite!

Hoho, Monday Night was appreciation night, awesome night where we all gathered to thank one another and have a good time of fellowship and food:)
Firstly, i went for a swim and emerged with emo hair, then i dried up and waxed my hair with Joshua's hair wax and it was done:)
Next, when many people were here we had a concert by Dennis Liu and Vivi. He performed many items but i don't know what he performed.
Then it was time for food! I enjoyed it very much and the fruit punch and Ribena also. Took many pictures and i took a few.
Lastly, it was time for appreciation, and i saw the POS vid. I didn't do the toe-touch properly!!! Argh, but i saw how everything still carried on smoothly and i realised the importance of working with one another and how important is every single person to the whole team.
I love POS this year and everyone in it and this has made me love God more too:)

Ep. 12 - Muted + Broken, at long last

2007-06-04T03:39:00.000-07:00

Ep. 12 - Muted + Broken, at long last

I'm mute! Probably due to throat infection, just happened a day before Emerge! Could it be just a coincidence? Anyway, Emerge really rocked and i really enjoyed myself. Most importantly, I feel that i am on fire again, to be like salt in the earth, to be a blessing to my friends and family.

Thursday,
First night of Emerge, POS! Didn't get to join night service cos we had to perform, and Tank showed up. Wasted sia, but was worth it anyway, we gave our best and the throat infection didn't stop me, HarHar!
- Painful throat, swallowing with difficulty due to pain and blocked throat. Troubled voice.

Friday,
School from 8 to 1, then break for 2 hours, but i decided not to go for maths as i was feeling terrible, out of 4 words i spoke, 2 would not come out, and 1 would zao xia, how to talk?!? Thank God for friends and i went to Expo after 1 as i was supposed to have Maths at 3, and also thank God for an understanding teacher..
- Difficulty speaking, feverish, painful blocked throat

Saturday,
Today was awesome! Went only at 3 though due to my throat and my mum wanted me to take medicine and rest. And when i went to Emerge, it was all worth it, Liu Geng Hong showed up and sang 2 songs from his new album!! Then the situation became very lovey, 'By this will the world know that you are my disciples, that if we love one another'.
- Pain in throat gone, still have difficulty swallowing, Cough! No voice.

Sunday,
Finale night, finale night, what else could i say? oh yea, this morning was the musical 'PVC Rocks', and Liu Geng Hong sang Cai Hong Tian Tang and i was not able to sing along!!! @$%&*!! I'm not cursing or swearing, just saying something that i can't understand myself, no voice ma, what can i say?
Then came night session, atmosphere was quite normal at first, then came the Word, man then i got blown away and i felt renewal, strength and empowerment over again, finally! Then we had the 'that's what friends are for' and we all hugged one another, guys and guys, girls and girls of course.

This year's Emerge was truely a great time and a very different one for me, i am ready to step out!

Ep. 11 - Series of Unfortunate Events

2007-05-26T10:19:00.000-07:00

Ep. 11 - Series of Unfortunate Events

Crappy week, all i can really remember are the unfortunate events:(

Wednesday,
Had MDA2 with Mr "Don't Worry" Lee, where he told us that we should be urgent and hurry with all our MDA2 work and talked about other classes rushing..

Thursday,
Not that bad, CADD with Mr "Don't Worry" Lee again, however got a terrible headache but i still got the job done in the end, after POS prac got really uncomfortable and felt seriously nauseous..

Friday...
Mr "Don't Worry" Lee again at CADD, where he went 'free-style', taught at his own speed, talked at his own volume, and when i went to see what my classmates were doing, almost all were doing their MDA2..
Then in the evening was the POS preview, felt that i had a lot to improve on, but it will all be complete and i would be top form again by Tuesday.
Then came supper... got too filled up by prata and got kind of blur...and then... I lost my phone.
It didnt come to me immediately, i went home to play Jurassic Park for about an hour then i realised the loss, man was really blur sia... Oh well, i don't believe this is the end, I know something good will come out of this! I will keep praying and believing in faith! Mark my words "Guy who wants me to fall", I will Henshin!!

Ep. 10 - Fei Ni Mo Shu

2007-05-13T20:19:00.000-07:00

Ep. 10 - Fei Ni Mo Shu

Long time no post, much has happened, not much actually.

The title of this post - "Fei Ni Mo Shu" is actually, a song by Tank, you should know i think. I chose this title because i dont really know what else to put up there but i dont know what does it mean.

Anyway, had fun this week, especially during the end of the week in school.

Thursday,
2 hours of school! Had e-learning for PFA at 10 - 1, and was planning to pon CADD from 2 - 4, but changed my mind at 12.47pm, then i started to rush. Sian, makes me feel that i am always so last minute.. After CADD, went for DoTA at selegie e-games.. Man, it was sad as we lost the first round to ITE cluster, they went all intel... and our team was put together last minute... what was i doing!!! I dont know but i'll make sure it wont happen again next year.

Friday!
Poetry in Motion man! I kinda forgot what happened in the early half of the day, but during break, the fun began, and we went drama, CL was filmed me and Goshi down, i was being a Kamen Rider while Goshi was.. i dont know... Urban Ninja?!? Sad we only had 1 take and Goshi didnt want to take any more.. Then it was Maths, had some obscene poetry, of course alot from Raymond, and i contributed gay lines(as in, the word gay in some lines). Ray was insulting but i felt ok, and we had fun during Maths, first time without our laptops

Ep. 9 - Gem TD

2007-05-04T20:09:00.000-07:00

Ep. 9 - Gem TD
Firstly, an overview of the last few days.
Wednesday, tiring day, especially after school when i discovered it was my last day at Uma.
Thursday, did our Orchard PFA presentation, had trouble in CADD
Friday, more Kamen Rider activity in class, and i went to watch spiderman 3 after school.

Ok, Wednesday,

Tough start to the morning as it was 8am class, and i was barely alert when i went to class, stressed for the MDA2 project, but it turned out that nothing really happened and he just went on with teaching, and then, along came Gem TD, man it was great and we had some fun while trying to listen to Mr Lee too, and we made it past the lesson.
Rest of the day was quite normal, but PFA teacher was great, he taught fast, we learnt fast, and we got some 'free time', if you know what i mean.
Then it came to work. Can't believe it i overslept on the bus 174 again! Thank God i woke up at the same stop as last week and got to Uma just before 7..Argh..
To my surprise, this was my 'last day' at work, for i told Wai Lee i needed a break and so she let me off. Took some pictures for memory.

Thursday,

PFA! I came at 7.30 to chiong my project presentation, and i felt great... And when presentation came, almost everyone had the same picture to prove that we were at orchard, until i felt that change was needed... So i asked Goshi for permission to modify the picture and i hoped it was more interesting... Ask Goshi for the pic, if he still has it.
At CADD, did some role play with Goshi.

Friday,

Almost died a few times in class, but i henshin-ed in time and had strength to sustain further, school was draggy today and at the last 2 lessons, Raymond(Kamen Rider Hon) shared some preserved haws and that really rejuvenated me. It was then when Hua Qiang decided to be a Kamen Rider too, and he became Kamen Rider Tribal Roachinko. Man, more action!
And it was time for Spiderman 3, it was really great, lots of funny parts, lots of it actually and i felt it was really balanced out for the movie, from dancing, to singing, to fighting, and even to the flowers(wonder what were the name of those flowers Peter gave to MJ on the bridge). Venom was great, goblin jr. became friends with spidey again, ok don't be spoiler...

Ep. 8 - Henshin!

2007-04-26T00:52:00.000-07:00

Ep. 8 - Henshin!

Argh this was a tough week for me,
Tuesday, 1 - 5pm, POS from 7 - 9+,
Wednesday, 8 - 5pm, Work from 7 - 11pm.

Wednesday,

Wow tough day, tired and teacher taught all the way to 5pm and i rushed down from school to work. It was so tiring that in the bus, i fell asleep and to my shock, i woke up somewhere in chinatown(in the bus, the bus was in chinatown) and i alighted.. Having just awoken, i walked around aimlessly and went to eat nasi lemak, then, thank God i saw bus 190, which Ching How boarded at city hall, so i knew it will go there, and after i boarded it, i really got there haha..

Thursday,

Awesome start! Reached Orchard MRT at 9.50am for PFA lesson, by Mr Richard(yes, at orchard) and we went to 'shop', to look for items that portray 3 qualities of product form and aesthetics. The rainy weather didn't stop us and Hua Qiang and i were the 1st team to arrive, and we got to pair up and we had lots of fun and ate beef noodles and beef hor fun at cineleisure. After that we went back to school and it was a normal day after tt..

Friday,

Another great start as i had to do a presentation with Charles done by Chyuan Loong and Raymond, teacher looked a little surprise at CL's 6 slides but i explained to him tt it is because us students have short attention span, which he told us earlier.. I 'Henshin'ed in front of the class, good thing Mr Ong did not notice..

Gym in the afternoon break, did 20 times 3 of situps and 20 times 3 sets of bench press, quite noob at it so i only lifted the bar which was 20kg alone..

Ep. 7 - MotherFiend!

2007-04-21T10:34:00.000-07:00

Ep. 7 - MotherFiend!

Lol this was a great first week, though it was kinda tough but every day had a little bit of fun..

On monday, 8am - 9.15am!!! School was this long, nothing else to say.

On tuesday, 1pm - 3.30pm!!! Quite short too, for it was drama and poetry and the teacher let us leave early as a gift, it will not happen again.

On wednesday, think it was Solid Thinking lesson or something, when CL told me about this guy, Daxflame, on Youtube, he's quite funny and he keeps 'risking his life', a daredevil! Yea and Raymond called me a MF, whats that?!? Motherfiend, i suppose, sounds stupid though..

On Thursday, went for PFA, taught by Mr Richard, he's an interesting guy and is sometimes funny.

Friday, had CADD in the morning, lol we were supposed to model a kitchen timer and after it all, Mr Lee Siow Hwa sent a mass email saying that - The Kitchen Timer Is Missing.. After a 2+ hour lunch break we went for maths and Goshi brought out his soiled baby diapers, lol it was shocking and i was quite disturbed at first, until he told me it was raisin bread wrapped in a patterned kitchen towel, strange thing was that it made the towel brown and gave off an unpleasant smell, dont wanna be too explicit here..

Great Week at school! Fun but also need to survive strange lecturers.. Daxflame, MotherFiend, soiled baby diapers... What's Next?!?

Ep. 6 - Inner Renewal

2007-04-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

Ep. 6 - Inner Renewal

Goodness this weeks services were great, and Benny Hinn was awesome, as i had never seen so many unusual miracles in my life! Of course i now that it is all possible thru God who works through him. Yea Hector his violinist owns too lol never felt so touched by a violin performance.. Whole meeting over 3 days was really great and i now feel that i love life again!

Hehe on friday, reached home very late after 1st service and did not do my daily crunches!!! Woke up the next morning, kind of stressed, but after thinking for a while i went to do 60, and another 60 at night after service, i will do my best to push for 65 over the next week, also learning from service that i should do things not depending on my emotions, that when i feel happy i do 70, when i feel lazy i do 30..etc..

On sunday, realised i was not required to serve but went to help out anyway, to my horror... Irene my workplace manager called and told me i needed to work at 6pm... When it was 6:05pm already... And so i told her i didn't know about it and i already told Wai Lee my other manager that i could not make it on sun... Lol... first time in my life i "pon" work... Kinda irresponsible but oh well... it was too last-minuted...

School starts tomorrow!!! Argh! Hehe but a 8-10am first day at school shld be a good start, with plenty of time to catch up with my fellow classmates:) Very happy for Hua Qiang especially, dont know why, quite tired to try recalling, gotta go do my 60 crunches and then to sleep.. Gd Night.

Ep. 5 - Getting Back On Track

Today's Tuesday, and i aim to get back on track for training since Monday, after POS training.. Last year, i aimed to get 6 pecs or packs, whatever it is, but of course failed to do so, so i am aiming to at least get a leaner body by the end of Emerge this year, a hundred crunches a day... regular jogging or swimming... Its not a question about whether i have time for that, but whether i feel like doing it or not.. I'm quite lazy so i hope whoever sees this can encourage me regularly to keep me on track to get fitter.

On Monday, I have really experienced 'rotting' at home, where i have got nothing to do, need to get up and about, best away from my com.. one of my greatest distractions.. Praying hard to become more disciplined also, argh will do my best then! Nothing else to say..

Yeah i did 50 crunches yesterday, aiming for 60 later... Maybe if i post here that i will exercise then i will be more motivated... Yeah.. i can do it!!

Ep. 4 - Weak!

Awww my muscles have been aching for the past few days now, considering that i had gone swimming with Yong Qiang last friday.. Still only managed to do 6 laps but i hope im improving.. Went for POS training on monday.. so pai seh... could not even do 30 pushups:( Used to be able to do 60, hope its because of swimming that my muscles are still recovering. Sore throat!

On tuesday, worked a full day, 12-11pm at Uma Uma, man it sure was tough managing esp. i started the day weak, however i could not take it anymore and had to eat for lunch at about 3, after that i felt some strength and struggled through the day, Thank God that there were no customers after 9:P, i usually hoped for customers but could not take it today.

On wednesday... Abrasion! Cough!! Yea and it was super tough but i only had to work till 3.30 tody but i struggled home due to abrasion... working tomorrow from 6 - 11 but im sure i will overcome all challenges victoriously! Need to rest...

Ep. 3 - Memory of a Farewell

Woke up this morning at 10, and rushed abit cos i had gotta work at 12 at Uma. And so i did the usual routine and got down to work. Was a great day at work today though, was busy till around 3 when i went to KFC at Funan to get lunch for myself and the 2 Asst. Managers at Uma, Irene and Wai Lee. They wanted to share a 4pc buddy meal with me and i wondered why and discovered that they had some food for me too, but i went anyway and upsized a whipped potato to large to give to How Lee, a colleague who was leaving..

How Lee was a great guy who was very hardworking and capable, and he helped me alot especially when i started working for the second time at Uma this year, he taught me the basics again and yeah.. helped me when i was kinda tired. Anyway, he will be leaving at end of March and i really wish him all the best for his career and life, to always live with a purpose=)

Got to take a photo with him today just after 11pm, closing time.. And i forgot to ask the photo from him as this will be the last time im seeing him, hope there will be a way though, Thank you How Lee!

Ep. 2 - The Tiger Goes Swimming(Part I)

Haha went for a swim today with Yong Qiang, swimming... It has already been a year since i last swam and this was a truly refreshing experience yet again and to train myself too.

Started with just 6 laps but im believing it to increase as i plan to swim weekly or once every 2 weeks during the remaining of the holidays. Didnt see much today at the pool, cos i have not got any goggles or my glasses on, hoping for a better experience the next time i go swimming..

Ep. 1 - The Tiger Wakes Up

Ep. 1 - New Beginning

Another change of my blog skin, hope this will look better, and another post after 2 weeks again.. Want this to be a new beginning hence this will be episode 1, new beginning.

I have deleted my old template, and realised that i have lost all links of my friends, and can only remember the Roach. Can someone please mail me or put their link on the tagboard so that i may add them to the side.

I want this to be like a story of my life, so i titled this the walk of the tiger, to show progress in my life and to always seek improvement, also in the way i type cos this sounds boring but i will do my best in upcoming posts..

2 weeks have passed

2007-03-13T10:23:00.000-07:00

2 more weeks have passed since my last post, great day yesterday:) Before i went to work i went to check out my friendster account, first time i went in this year, i finally added in 3 very old photos, all taken last year i think.. However i hope tt this will be a great start, and i can ask some friends to take photos and send to me maybe..

Oh yea last thursday was great too, got my very first tip! 2 dollars only, but lol i was quite happy, hope more of this will happen in the future

It's over..

2007-02-27T21:40:00.000-08:00

Yay i survived a full day at Uma Uma yesterday from 11.30am - 11pm:) Got a bad start yesterday, arriving at about 7 minutes late and many small incidents happened. I ignored customers because i thought they were being GL, i let a part of the order sheet fly into the boiling water. Oh only 2 incidents... Lol i thought there were many. However, the later part of the day was quite peaceful until... i got abrasion at that area!!! The worst thing is that, none of my colleagues knew what was abrasion, they thought it was operation or something, so i suffered in silence.. Oh yea, a couple who came days ago came again in the evening and that really cheered me up as they were very friendly and polite, oh well, i think i enjoyed myself in the end. Will look forward to more challenging times!

Really Something Different

2007-02-21T07:50:00.000-08:00

Whoa went back to Uma Uma today, and im planning to work there till my holidays are over, glad to be accepted back in:) Though the pay is 5 dollars per hour im glad im not spending my time playing at home. Many new faces today especially the chefs, with an extra friendly atmosphere..

Man it sure was interesting today, with a couple writing a feedback form saying that i was very patient and polite, and a group of 4 ppl saying that i was rude and more.. O well didnt have this much feedback before when i worked 3 months last year, a new beginning, yes, and a more interesting one

Great Day!

2007-02-16T05:05:00.000-08:00

Yea went to school today to visit teachers, but didnt see any.. Instead i met up with Yong Qiang and others and went to Toa Payoh to play pool. Didnt play though but went to eat Chicken Noodles and bought a shirt to wear to school, was a great day though, being able to meet up with some of my frens from sec school

Another entry after a long time

2007-02-12T06:46:00.000-08:00

Oh man finally, another post, this time after 2 months, felt very lazy to even come to post a simple entry. Engineering Mechanics final exam tomorrow... Strange time to return to blogging i feel... Perhaps that when i saw Raymond's blog at www.rayzhon.blogspot.com i felt like blogging again. More will come... Posts and even pictures, i will start finding ways to put them here... Gotta step out of my comfort zone and start doing more useful things

Reflections - Wa So Long!

2006-12-28T18:35:00.000-08:00

Wow it has been a really long time since i posted anything. Wow.. About 2 months.. Is not that i have been really busy, but guess i have been really lazy then to not blog. Many things to say but i'll just summarise it. Firstly, Happy Belated Birthday to Ching How, may you grow stronger and excel in your studies in the coming year! Secondly, Merry Belated Christmas to all of you:), oh i don't think i have anything else to say. Thank You.

Reflections - Bad Day

2006-11-07T08:05:00.000-08:00

Today was not a really great day for me.. After lunch, i had stomachache, probably due to eating too much hot stuff and chilli.. Went back to class drained after visiting the toilet.. and found out that i was one of the lowest in class for presentation.. Don't mind if i was just lowest, but if people tell me i will do well and they won't, surely i will feel down if the results are otherwise..
Oh well, hope friends read this and realise whats happening. However today i had spent a record breaking $1.30 only, despite today being the longest day in school!

Reflections - Stage One Cleared!

2006-11-05T02:51:00.000-08:00

Finally, i have some time to post again, after the busy week. Rushing projects, doing research, guitar practise, and some other stuff.. Worse of all was the DSCD project, where i had to stay up till 3.30am to complete, although there was a DotA game before that(it helped me relax and i felt refreshed after that) and so i became more refreshed to complete the project, and the feeling that half of the class that stayed awake online was awesome, knowing that i wasnt alone. And so Assignment 1 was over, but i better be prepared for the next Assignments.

Reflections - Thanks!

2006-10-27T10:19:00.000-07:00

Wow great Cell Group today! Thanks Shu Jun for telling me to play B Key, now i know i have an expanded capacity. Thanks Jessel for lending me your tuner, without your tuner... And thanks for telling me about the key for the praise song. Sorry friends but really have to mention God this time in this post as i would like to thank Him for giving my little finger strength as well as being present during CG:)

Records - My Guitar!

2006-10-25T08:47:00.000-07:00

This is my guitar, which i bought with my hard-earned money!

Reflections - Adjusting To School Life

2006-10-25T08:12:00.000-07:00

School has begun over a week ago, and i'm still not fully adjusted to school life again, where everything is in order. Working hard now to recover from my lazy mode and get warmed up again.. Got my maths class assignment today and only got 2/10 marks! Not Acceptable! And yes i will work and fight against my lazy side!

Reflections - A Change!

2006-10-24T09:51:00.000-07:00

Finally, as days passed, i know that i cannot remain the same anymore.. How i behave, my personality, outlook as well as my inward has to change. The way i used to behave was not wrong, just that i needed to move on to greater maturity.
So.. the time has come, i will arise and strive towards a change, to get out of my comfort staying just as i am!

Reflections - About levelling

2006-10-15T08:30:00.000-07:00

Hey i have noticed that whenever i level up my skill level usually increases and i have thought about it for a while and finally remembered the verse about the body prospering as our mind prospers. Thank God for helping me remember this verse and i am now stronger in faith!

Reflections - Skill levelled up!

2006-10-15T08:25:00.000-07:00

Yay finally after some time, i know i can play the guitar better when i played some praise songs and tried tougher ones. Truely victory comes to those who fight! When i felt my guitar playing was stagnating i felt the Holy Spirit gently pushing me on, and finally here i am, at a new level! I'm looking forward to improving and whoever reads this please know that God can also do the same for you, just be obedient in hearing His voice and practise hard!

Reflections - Levelled up!

2006-10-14T09:53:00.000-07:00

Finally, once again, i have felt that my mindset and thinking has gone on to the next level. God has really confirmed with me that my personality can be changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Now i am convinced that i can break my communication barrier with people especially in groups to become more sociable. I have felt God telling me that 'Victory comes to those who fight' and am ready to face challenges to stretch my limit and expand my capacity!

Reflections - Back at last!

2006-10-14T09:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry guys if anyone has noticed i have not been posting for some time already. Blogger has blocked me from posting as this was suspected to be a spam blog and as a result i cannot post for the past weeks.

Reflections - Income Going Steady

2006-09-29T18:25:00.000-07:00

As the building fund approaches, i have felt that i need to monitor my finances and spend only when necessary. I want to thank God for providing me with jobs, and especially the banquet job. Feel that this will help me generate my flow of cash to help in the building fund and i will also have some remainder for my own savings. If you are reading this i pray that you will also trust God with your finances, seek first the kingdom of God and you dont have to worry about clothes, food and money as it will come to you=)

New Mission - Banquet at Pan Pacific

2006-09-21T09:17:00.000-07:00

Praise the Lord! After more than a week of waiting, Pan Pacific has contacted me to go for banquet training. I cannot believe this as i had lost hope after waiting for close to 2 weeks actually, but a call came today asking me to report for training. Once again, my prayer was answered by Jehovah Jireh, God my provider=) I felt really great as i have cried out to God for the first time in my life for a job and this came along! Really a test this 2 weeks and i believe this is the time of breakthroughs in my life!

Reflections - When God tells me i'll win, i'll win!

2006-09-21T09:02:00.000-07:00

Truely it is a test of faith for me yesterday and today. I am currently doing door-to-door sales promoting Starhub Cable TV, and this is about my fourth day at work. For the past 3 days at work, i spent 3 hours each knocking from door to door but still got nobody willing to accept my offer or rather, to sign the contract through me. I felt very discouraged and thoughts of failure kept coming to me and i kept wondering to myself if i was wasting my time and i cannot make it by being a salesman.
Before i came to know God, i was a very introverted person and cannot talk. But ever since i came to know God, i knew that there was much much more to life than staying where i was and continuing being who i am. I wanted to become a person who can relate well to others in communication and relationships and now i know i can do it through Christ who strengthens me.
So i prayed before i went to work yesterday, and while praying, God told me i will get one customer today. Being positive, i went to work however, i doubted in my heart and kept telling myself, 'Well if i have no sales it will at least be a good experience for me'.
But God had more than just a sales experience for me, He had an experience of victory for me, and true enough, it came to pass, that i had gotten my very first customer! Praise the Lord!
I went home, convinced that when there is a vision from God, provision comes along too, i just have to make it happen so now i have grown stronger in faith knowing that i just have to do my part to make things happen in my life!

Reflections - Nothing much to do..

2006-09-18T09:55:00.000-07:00

I have too much time at home and have nothing to do these few days, and really want something to keep me occupied during daytime, but i cant find a job that only requires me to work on weekdays and during daytime. I only have my laptop and guitar with me at home, thank God for these but i really want to do more useful and meaningful things like working. Any one who reads this know of any job that i can work during daytime on weekdays? Best if i dont need to work on fridays..

Reflections - Budgeting

2006-09-10T19:04:00.000-07:00

Finally i have started budgeting and planning my finances as i have learnt in service and it proved very useful, especially when i always leave home with money and return home with no money wondering where my money went to. Thank God for such an excellent pastor and letting me be in such a great church, i believe that with God i will definitely succeed in life! Wow and also i have remembered what i spend money on so i will not splurge on food anymore, helps me mentally, physically and spiritually!

New Mission - Test For Another Job Class

2006-09-06T05:20:00.000-07:00

I have been contacted to go for an usher ministry training on Saturday and i hope i will get into the usher ministry. I hope to have what it takes to be an excellent usher and have to get mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually prepared..

New Mission - Job For Money

2006-09-06T05:16:00.000-07:00

Okay, i have gotten a job (Direct Sales), unclear of what must i do for it but i know the requirements to complete the mission. Will have to work a minimum of 3 nights (7pm-10pm) a week to obtain 10 sales with leads from the HQ.. Just follow instructions and do my best for mission..

Reflections - Great Service!

2006-09-03T06:22:00.000-07:00

Wow i love Sat's service where pastor preached about money, felt that i have really received good information and will put it into practise and let it become a good habit which leads to success! Thank God for the marketplace classified ads, hope that i can find a job from there. I now have a greater desire to prosper in life and have a clearer view of where i should go. I understand that without a dream or vision, where i realised in Prov. 29:18 that without a vision from God i will continue living life aimlessly and carelessly. Now that i know, i thank God that i will go advance and as i continue walking with God, i will reach somewhere He wants me to be.

Reflections - Whoa Tough Battle

2006-08-30T05:51:00.000-07:00

Recently over the past few days, i was gaming till past 1 am and could not stop, i was wondering why did i feel so drained and tired on the next days of sketching training as i played even more intensively and till even later when i was having school and did not feel tired. After thinking about it and asking God, i realised that i was gaming alone and did not make as much use of my time when i was gaming with my classmates, being that fellowship with my classmates during gaming was better than playing alone.. Dear God, if by managing time well and controlling gaming, putting You first is beneficial for my health and for my relationships, i will do it, for Your glory and by Your strength!

New Mission + Special Event - Special Training and BBQ

2006-08-30T05:45:00.000-07:00

Sorry for updating at a later date, caught up in gaming lately... Will control gaming and not let gaming control me! Had class bbq(special event) on Mon, 28th August as well as sketching remedial because my sketching was not up to standard. I believe that my skething will definitely improve along with Jin Le and Charles though, being put through 'intensive' training and having excellent tutors to guide us along. having traing for this week with a test today, hope i'll pass so that i would be able to move on and not need to go back to school next week for another round.

Reflections - Water baptism was awesome!!

2006-08-27T05:13:00.000-07:00

Lol when i was preparing for water baptism, i was feeling nervous as my friends and cell members were not here yet but thanks to Sister Rebecca for guiding me and lending me her phone:) Was nervous but thank God my cell group friends were here just before i started queueing and i went ahead with peace in my heart, expectant to really take my relationship with God a huge step further, now i believe my life will go from glory to glory just as God has promised in the Bible. Water baptism was great but having my cell group friends and Jeremy and Hua Qiang with me was really amazing and i felt great! You guys are really awesome and i cherish you all like family:)
