Year end shopping

I kinda went shopping today.

Look at the amount of clothes my mum and I bought, for my brother, our domestic helper and ourselves.

Pretty glad at the clothes we got. I've got new pairs of jeans and new shirts! :D gotten lots of new things this year end. Thank God! :D

Christmas

Blessed Christmas! :)

BMI

My BMI is too high..! :'( I need to lose weight!!!

1 Peter

I shall attempt to memorize 2 chapters of 1 Peter before 2011 ends? =/

LA Summary

I guess this might be one of the rare chances I score full marks for my LA Summary paper content.

LA has always been my worst subject, it's always the B on my all As report card, and this time round I scored an A2! :D

Thank God, can't express how much I want to thank Him for.

Surprisingly I scored 15/15 for the content, and usually I fail that section of summary...!

Scoring an A in LA has greatly improved my morale for next year!! Pray that He will continue to lead me to greater heights! :)

YPF Camp 2011

YPF Camp ended so quickly, this has got to be the fastest 4 days 3 nights of this year, spent so meaningfully with brothers and sisters and all who were involved.

I guess I would update soon, I realize that if I don't record things down, whether in paper form or online form, I'll forget what I want to share, ie.my thoughts.

When I say something, I mean it.

When I have decided on something, I stand firm and will not waver. When I say something, I mean it.

YP Camp

YP Camp tomorrow!

It's going to be 4 days 3 nights residential camp in church! :D

Haha.

Christmas Concert of Praise

Christmas Concert of Praise in church this evening! ^^

Tiring day

Today's a really tiring day doing theory homework all day long.

Thank God for guiding me through this day and this week's going to be better! (excl. re-typing contacts into new phone & settling CCA matters)

That reminds me, I need to go school tomorrow morning. Oh well.

Diary

I need to update my diary! ><

Yes, I do keep a diary. :)

Bar Mitzvah

Congratulations to Terry and Jia Ming on their Bar Mitzvah today! It was really edifying to hear their testimonies and those who encouraged them with Bible verses. :)

New phone

Got a Samsung Galaxy Ace today. Very very mixed feelings, and mum, your actions are .

Trying it out tmr, it's going to be 2 years with it. :)

CCA @ HCJC

CCA today, let's say it's the best one so far. :D

Managed to do 站脚 on Hsi Chien! That's after Pei Ting used so much force on me and then HC also used a lot of force. (must be so painful for her to withhold me ><)

Suddenly got very excited for performances next year, really hope that they will turn out well, and better than the previous years.

Seeing how bonded HC seniors' batch are made me quite disappointed at how separated our CCA is, how people don't talk much to one another. =/

Blessed Birthday

Blessed Birthday Rev. BQ! =D

Mr Ng Song Beng

While revising math concept it suddenly came across my mind that Mr Ng SB has left NY alr. =/ I don't know to feel sad or what, it was like so sudden, and I was in Beijing for exchange then.

There were already rumors about him not teaching us anymore next year, but I didn't thought that he was resigning from NY totally..! And part of the reason should be because of our mischievousness and our not-so-good behavior.

He was a teacher that changed my study attitude I guess, the fact that he's humorous and patient (really patient) with us made me really sad for a while when I heard his resignation.

How he's doing well now!! :)

Psalms 118

After my quiet time just now I came across this article, seems interesting. :)

Get Centered with Psalms 118

In studying the Bible, some experts have come up with several fun facts. Do you know what Bible verse is at the very center of the Bible? Here are some fun facts every Christian teen should know about the central chapter of the Bible - Psalms 118.

The middle chapter of the Bible is Psalm 118.
The longest Chapter of the Bible is Psalm 119.
The shortest chapter of the Bible is Psalm 117.

How many chapters exist before Psalm 118? 594
How many chapters of the Bible exist after Psalm 118? 594
Add the two together and you get 1188.
What is the verse at the very center of the Bible? Psalm 118:8*

Psalm 118:8 - "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man." (NIV)

Are you in the center of God's word? The very center of the Bible reminds us to trust in God over trusting in ourselves or other people. The next time you consider making God the center of your life, remind yourself to go to the center of the Word. Spending time in prayer and in the Word allows you to grow closer to God and stronger in your faith. Even in the most difficult times, trusting in God is at the center of His will for our lives.

While fun facts like these draw our attention to certain verses, the "center of the Bible" statistics are not applicable to every version of the Bible. Why? Well, Catholics use a different Bible, and Hebrews use another. Some experts have calculated Psalm 117 as the center of the King James Version of the Bible, while others state that there is no central verse of the Bible due to an even number of verses.

Do these varying opinions take away from the significance of Psalm 118? Well, for those that are of the opinion that it is not the central verse of the Bible all it does it take away that distinction. It does not, however, take away the significance of the statement. Christians should make God the center of their lives, and numerical controversy should not take away from that spiritual guidance.

6 Caring'08 gathering (6 December 2011)

6 Caring'08 will be the class that I will never forget for life. They are awesome and awesome and, awesome. :)

Mr Quah couldn't turn up so there was a sudden change in plan, mass messaging like mad woah! End up 8 ppl turned up at macs. Hmmm!

Remus left for study session with his friends and DY wasn't coming. >( but SH and XW joined us later so 8 ppl still! :D

Bowling @ Safra was fun! My first time bowling! (I have so many things yet to do HAHA)

One game and Alwin won, yeah bowler! :D walked to SH's house and were playing hide and seek HAHA. (Y) it was really epic when I found Jane and XW; Lionel, Alston, Jane and XW; and how we found Alwin coincidentally while walking to the mama shop. :D

Bball time! Cool to play with those who went and free shots at the end of the game, nice guys. :)

I don't think anyone else can relate to this other than those who turned up and stayed throughout. :)

Thank you Lionel, Alwin, Alston, CH, SH, Remus, JY, Jane, XW. And SY for organizing this although you couldn't come because of food poisoning! (GWS!!)

Quote Remus: I feel so blessed to have such friends. :) thanksthanksthanks, and sorry. (for leaving early! ><)

Next gathering shall be more successful and even more interesting! =D

(photo of our scores :D)

Calibri font

Did I mention how much I dislike Calibri font?

Sundays

Just now my mum was asking why Hannah's parents aren't coming to worship with us in church, so I told her about her situation etc, then my mum said I should invite her parents to our church so they know how our worship is like and then perhaps they will join us. Hmmm, good idea, I shall ask her next week!!

And I'm starting to go for my jog tomorrow. :)

The blogger app publishing dates are kinda screwed, esp. the posts from wordpress. But I like auto-correct when blogging. (spotted a handful of typos in my previous posts, oops!)

I love Sundays.

Updated!

YAY I moved my wordpress posts to blogger so now I only have one site to manage!
Thanks to this tool from this website: http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/ which helped to convert my posts over and the html etc. :)

I promise to update more often! (even though Prof. Yip said today that blogs are useless. =X)

BBQ @ Aloha Loyang

Just came back from dad's colleagues' BBQ at Aloha Loyang. Ahhh, those fond memories of YPF camp'09 came back as we walked into the resort.

My parents were like, you came here before? Then I was telling them I came for YPF camp 2 years back etc.

Haha, anyway it was fun BBQ-ing since we didn't have a BBQ back then during camp. :) ate loads of food: satay, sotong balls, chicken wings, fruits, and other stuff. Oh well I think I need to exercise more frequently now. =S

Training today was indescribable, I think I'm going to suffer from 2-4 bruises soon, hurt my inner ankle and inner calves. =( been trying to jump onto the basin and the movements...I need to overcome this fear of mine.

So tired I can't even keep my eyes open for long.

Back, for sure.

No one keeps a blog these days. That's kinda wasted 'cause you don't keep a record of anything you do and you will forget it after months and years. Yeah.

I changed my blog url again, for the last time I hope. And the same old problem surfaced again: blog urls being taken! >( irresponsible ppl using blogs but not updating them.

Taking about being back on blogger, I gave up on wordpress since it's troublesome to view it on the iPad. I'm considering giving up Twitter bit by bit, mainly because too many ppl are on Twitter. It's like suddenly, EVERYONE is on Twitter, those you wish to have as your followers and those you don't. And I can't post as freely as I do in the past, when I only followed less than 10 acc. (and the initial cause of creating Twitter is to follow Aethy and she seldom tweets now, a-e-the-line you see this? Update me about you!)

So I am back, this blog is really old, it's been, 3 years? Back in 2008 I used to blog so frequently, now... I will try! No matter how many ppl are reading my blog, at least I have more freedom posting here and I won't know who viewed my blog! :D okay I know the authorities can hunt me down on this but then. Haha, I shall go and edit my template html, this blog needs a complete new look!

Then I will go and tell others about this blog, and see how many of them actually come and read.

Back on wordpress!

Hi guys! Guess what, I am back on wordpress! :D previously I tried out tumblr to post meaningful photos but I guessed that's too tiring and troublesome job for me so I deleted that account and decided to use back wordpress, and perhaps blogger. :)

I think I will start posting photos and captions here, like nice food, sceneries, people etc. But self disclaimer: 99.99% of the photos are not mine, they might be from 微博, twitter or elsewhere.

Hope there will be more readers here on this site! And do provide me with comments, whether you like the things I post or what do you prefer me to post! :)

God bless you! v^^

2011 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX!!

HI EVERYONE! this is a super happy post so just bear with me for a while! x)

Just watched the qualifying race on channel 5 just now, it was super dramatic while Kobayashi crashed and a time of less than 1:44 mins was created by Vettel.

Hamilton was initially first during Q3 but was beaten to by Vettel a dew seconds later. Well, 2nd isn't bad..until both Webber and Button beat him to it!! D: so saddening I want to cry. >( anyway still hope Hamilton can win in tomorrow's night race!

Side note, really excited for tomorrow's race! CAN YOU IMAGINE THE F1 DRIVERS RACING DOWN THE ROADS IN TOWN? IN SINGAPORE? IN THE SAME COUNTRY AS YOU ARE? JUST A FEW MILES AWAY FROM YOU? >_< SO EXCITED!!! even though I'm jot going to watch it at the circuit but there's always live telecast and I really look forward to the race!!

Just can't wait! :D going to dedicate my 6000th tweet to Hamilton tomorrow oh yeah! \O/

Attaching some photos for you all! :D

God Bless! :)

Back, better and more powerful!

Hi everyone, I don't intend to make a record of not blogging for more than a year and hence I have decided to post a quick update of myself!

I went around searching for a new blog URL just a moment ago and was pretty annoyed when I couldn't use the one that I want to, that's because bloggers, or rather, lazy people, simply start a blog and post nothing on it!! Alright, maybe one or two posts... years ago??! So that's why I decided to update my blog less people want to use the URL and realize that some silly blogger (me) don't update the blog for eons. That's partially the reason why I decided to reappear to blog about something.

Oh I want to share the reason for this new blog URL is because I myself love to run and I feel that since I usually post about things in the past, present and future on this blog, I might as well use the three tenses of 'run' as the URL! I wanted to use 'sing-sang-sung', but you k know what happened... the case of the MIA blogger. =P

On a last note, I think I have decided to come back to blogging here about my infers eating life... real soon, before this year ends I promise. So do keep a lookout for new post in time to come! Okay, off to spread this new blog URL to other!

Day 3!!

REACHED 100 CRUNCHES TODAY!! ^^

5:42 minutes for 100 crunches... But the thing is that I rested twice in between... So if I take those into account, it probably add up to 10 minutes. Bleh.

Day 3... So I am one-tenth there! (: I almost wanted to give up at several occasions today. When I reached 50, I was aching at the stomach area (guessed it's because of yesterday), and I really wanted to stop and get down the equipment. But thank God I didn't! :D so proud of myself for that.

And just before my workout I was still beaming over the fact that I could sleep before 10:30, then I was like 'oh no, I haven't done my workout for the day!' argh, the feeling was asdfghjkl. But I didn't regret it though, at least I persisted and finished my workout, and with a new record!

Aiming for 100 crunches with the most one rest by the weekend!

One more thing, really bad idea to workout before sleep, and especially if you're wearing a black dri-fit shirt. It's really uncomfortable. =/

Reckon i would upload the photos i took over the weekends. God Bless!

Day 2!

Posting this while standing under the fan... Shiok!!

So today's day 2 of my workout for a month! I really hope after a month it would become a part of me and I would be working out.. everyday I hope. Today was a really tiring day for me. In fact I didn't want to work out. But I did! One reason was to atone for the cookie my sis offered me just a while ago!

I tried setting up my timer as well, to prevent yesterday's incident from happening again...And results for today... 65 crunches in 3 minutes! Man that isn't very good either IMO.

Guess next time I would set up my stopwatch instead and see how fast I can do 100? That would probably take ages as I would be forever stuck at 99. Nah just joking.

Oh and I realize that I slimmed down! Only by a bit but after a month I would have shed like 89.76186 kg! Hahahaha.. And one fatal consequence of not working out earlier and before I bathe -- gonna stink when I sleep tonight. Oh no!

Conclusion: Workout before sleep is a pretty bad choice. Short post but the most critical point is that I worked out!!

God Bless!!

Going off! God Bless! :D

Day 1!

Day 1!

Pretty excited. I finally made up my mind to start working out.. I guess this is really a super mini project of mine, and my first as well. I am munching on a pear now, guess it would be healthy to have a fruit everyday, or rather every night. Will take a photo of the cruncher equipment soon, in fact I don't know the actual name for it..? Let me check it out... Oh well, it's an OTO product and it just stated it to be CRUNCHER so I guessed I would just call it the cruncher. (:

This is not the ordinary crunchers that we normally do during PE lesson, those where you put your hands on the ledge and go up and down. This is one which you lay down and pull yourself up, so you go up and down as well. So I guess it is tougher and helps to build myself up.

Oh my results for today -- 30 crunchers in 40 seconds... Okay I know that's very lousy!!! ): I actually was doing pretty fine until I looked up to take a peek at the time. And that was when the disaster happened, I had no more energy to do anymore! And I had to give up halfway, argh.

And another thing is that probably I did my crunchers too quickly. That was average 1 every 1.3333333333333333333333333333333 seconds. Oh well, maybe I should go for 1 every 1. 3333333333333333333333333333334 seconds tomorrow. (don't bother counting, I copied and pasted it =P) aiming for 100 in uh, 3 minutes workout tomorrow! Hope I don't get muscle aches around my stomach area... =)

Off to do my revision! I hope that maybe some people will be inspired by me and start to workout as well! Oh well, just saying. ;)

God Bless!

The decision!!

I think this is it.

I am going to start working out.. The main reason why I am doing this is because I am growing horizontally too rapidly... and the truth is I am beginning to feel inferior. And that's it! If I feel inferior I will feel stress. And that would lead to even more stress! Plus, the blocks are almost here and I got to keep myself as un-stressed as possible and focus! I doubt I can't do that if I am constantly worrying about my weight.

This morning I was walking past the cruncher equipment in the living room and I thought, hey, shall I just resume my workout like last time, working out everyday, trying to achieve 100 crunchers erm, as fast as possible... And so coincidentally I was thinking about Mr Mike Chang's one month trash project and I thought I could something like that.. So TA-DA! I started to work out! And I thought since have a wordpress site that's dying here I might as well revive it with this mink project going on. Forget about blogger, there isn't an app for me to post as fast as wordpress.

So today's day 1 and I am going to go for a one month's workout! Probably at home since I can revise and workout at the same time and saves me from wearing shoes and going down and run. Catch me in my next post! :D

God Bless!

Sometimes it is hard to think of a title for a post like this.

Hey guys!

Yeah I know I haven't been posting for quite some time that even myself wonder when my next post will be. Actually, I have another blog on blogger that is, I think, 2 years plus old? I'm not very sure of the blog url now as I'm too lazy to go there and copy it here. =P

By the way, just to update, I am currently overseas, back in China, where my hometown is. I am not born in China but that is my hometown. :) Haven't been back for 6 and a half years and I really have a lot of things to catch up and I will do soon! If not I am just going to record them in my diary or some other random places.

Update soon!!

God Bless!

[12 May 2011] Thoughts on CSM

Hi everyone! Hope you are not dying of the heat these few days!

Just in case you are wondering, CSM refers to the combined sports meet that happens annually in HCI, with NYGH and HCIS participating as well. And this year's CSM is going to be happening tomorrow! (YAY!) Well, apart from the track and other events happening tomorrow, my CCA is going to perform drums early in the morning, with HC Wushu guys!

This year's performance is a totally different experience from last year's. Though we performed drums last year as well, things have changed drastically this year as many unexpected things happened along the way. Only with that, we had to have a selection based on our performance due to the overwhelming number of people we had on our side. (Okay not that many, I'm just exaggerating.)

Due to experience from last year, and much little communication between us and the guys, we were able to conduct training sessions pretty smoothly, excluding that time when there was a teacher who came down to ask us to lower our volume. Also much thanks to both sides' chairperson and vice-chairperson(?) who had dedicated time and effort to plan and prepare things for us.

This might be the last time we are performing on CSM due to shortage of members next year (I think). Hence I really want to put in my best for this performance. Honestly speaking, I appreciate every performance I have a chance to take part in, no matter is it lion dance or drums. There are already little opportunities for us to perform in the first place, no matter what, I will and I must take every performance seriously, for these are opportunities that may not come by again. I don't do well just to impress others, but to let others know that my CCA's existence and our capabilities. CSM is a time to show to all three schools that we have the ability to have a combined performance with guys within a few weeks and that we are not just a CCA that is boring and old-fashioned.

The reason of me posting this is to serve a reminder to my juniors and some seniors that tomorrow's performance is not just another just-for-performance performance, confusing? Okay, in simpler terms, it is not just a performance that we can treat it light-heartedly. As I said earlier on, this might be our last chance being able to perform during CSM and such opportunities may not come by again in the future, hence we should treat tomorrow's performance seriously and put in our effort to do it.

This is not to lecture or pinpoint anyone. But I seriously feel strongly that it is necessary that we put up a good performance tomorrow, not just for the audience, but for ourselves too. Let this be as a good chance to see how much we have improved from last year and how we can improve for the future performances. Let us treat this performance with positive mindsets and believe in ourselves that we can do it, we have been training for quite some time yeah! Let no things bother you all tomorrow during the performance and focus on bringing out the best in us in that short but important 3 minutes that we have.

After the performance, I wish that you all don't just forget everything that you all have learnt in the past 1-2 months and keep this precious memory in your heart. Think about all the happy moments that we have experienced with seniors and juniors, with our coach and as well as with the guys. Let it be a performance that you will be proud of to tell your friends and let it be one that will never be forgotten. Apart from the misunderstandings which might have occurred and not yet resolved, let us forge better friendships with one another and establish good relationships.

Though it might be late to post this a day before, but it's only till the eleventh hour that we feel so much about something and it's never too late to post your thoughts right! Sleep early tonight and sweet dreams! Tomorrow is the big day for the both the guys and us and let's make things happen the way we want it to be! JIAYOU NYDALT-DRUMS!! :D

God Bless! Pray hard and believe in Him!

[05 May 2011] Sometimes

Just as I was checking my Facebook today, I found out how my friend can get so disturbed and troubled over another friend of mine. They had quarreled after a silly rumor spread around about them. That was way back in March/April. Till today, she has not yet gotten over the matter, but she appeared as though she was fine on the outside. But deep inside, I know she's struggling every time we have to see him. We will be seeing him again tomorrow, and she has said that she needs courage to apologize, as a good friend, I really want to help her, but I'm not sure whether she will have the confidence and courage to do so.

Thinking of myself, many times I face problems and are unable to come up with a solution. Sometimes I will just be troubled by them and get really worried about them. Those are the times when I forgot that God will always be there for me. Those are the times when I was proud and turned away from God. This has not been happening only once, but countless times. I really want to be a godly Christian and obey His words and commands. But Satan has tempted me and caused me to fallen short of God's love.

But thank God, I have a bunch of brothers and sisters in Christ that have been constantly given me encouragement. I was having a really bad day yesterday, having screwed my speech and not being able to complete certain tasks. I thought I might just break down and cry. But I opened my inbox and saw the message sent by my youth group leader that really strengthened my faith with God.

Proverbs 2:6-8: For the LORD gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones.

Praying really hard these days that God will give me the strength and lead me through all these things to be done.

Ending off, I still keep the friend of mine in prayer and hope that she can resolve this matter soon. :)

God Bless!
