perspectives

2009-04-16T00:15:00.007+08:00

was just looking at the past few days of my life and thinking about some stuff...

happy and unhappy stuff had happened and so i was just thinking about them. somehow, despite having one unhappy thing that just happened a while ago, i'm still feeling happy with my life!

It brings me to this thought that I guess sometimes it’s really just the perspectives. Like the analogy Yassy always uses – Is the cup half empty or half full? And in my case, it’s not even about half empty and half full. After all, it is obvious that my cup is more full than it is empty. There's definitely more happy things than unhappy things in my life. In my case, it’s more about what do I focus on – what I have, and what I do not have.

I do not (at this moment) have a family who completely understands me and respects my decisions. It’s okay, I know that all they did are just their way of saying they love me. They are watching out for me and perhaps the way they communicate it is not my favourite form of communication. It's okay, I'll pray for them :D

I have, however, a great spiritual family who’s out there, supporting me, rooting for me, pushing me on, bringing me forward. I have a great CG! I have a great future before me. I have great talents that God has blessed me with. I have great friends who care and love me. I have great spiritual parents and leaders who look out for me and pray for me. I have so many wonderful things in life to focus on. Why focus on that one thing that I do not have?

What we focus on grows. If I let all the bad things that happened occupy my thoughts and take up my energy, I'll barely have any left to do other stuff. Like grow. Sometimes it's hard to just get up and go. Many of us like to cry and make ourselves feel better before getting up and continue running. But nah, I'm not going to waste that time and energy. I'm just going to focus on the good things.

All the good things in my life makes me happy (:

I'm so thankful to God for this great life of mine!

But I’m sure there’s more to life than this still. I’m looking forward to every single part of it!

i'm still sick and feeling horrible and tired all the time.

my cough syrup knocks me out. i take my flu medicine through my nose (AND IT'S REALLY COOL!). but they hvnt really worked that well in making me feel better.

but yet i've mugged quite a bit!

i went to charmaine's house to study last night! (okay, we really spent more time playing than studying..)

she has a cute little cousin called Ethan! well, i think it's her cousin. i remember her saying it's her cousin. little Ethan is only 19 months old but he learns things real quickly!

I showed him Phineas & Ferb on my laptop and he was imitating Candace say, "B..B...Bu..But..But"

My laptop was on the floor and when he accidentally paused the video, I used my toes to press the spacebar to get the video going again. The next thing I know, he was putting his foot on my laptop, trying to do the same thing!

Ethan is soooo adorable!

i can never get tired of little kids (:

this boy from YSC drew this picture on the white board. SO CUTE.

he actually drew another one that i didn't take a picture of.

now that i think of it, i wish i did.

the other one says something like "God is in troble! Quick, call ambulance!" (that's how he spelt "trouble".)

these kids are just amazing!

DON'T BE A CHRISTIAN

2009-04-11T01:39:00.004+08:00

good friday was awesome :D

Pastor preached a very thought-provoking sermon! as how my gp tchr would put it, AT FIRST GLANCE, the sermon would have been offensive. HOWEVER, ON FURTHER REFLECTION, it was truly thought-provoking, different! Just the sermon title itself caught me off guard. i mean who will be expecting to hear a pastor talk about 7 things i hate about christianity, in a church, on easter? But everything pastor said was just so real, so applicable, so easy to relate to.

And that's what i believe evangelism is about. More than spreading the truth, it's about making the Bible and God real in our lives, that through our lives people can see that God is indeed real and then want to find out more. And i believe that this is surely better than shoving the Bible down people's throats. I, even as a Christian, hate that about Christians. Be Christ-like, people. Don't repeat what the Pharisees have clearly done wrong.

i can't wait for the rest of the series!

CONGRATS PAM, MEGAN AND LAUREN ISABELLE CHANG YEN-MING (i just had to do it)!

we witnessed their water baptism today (and 66 other baptism candidates too). i can't wait for my turn to come! but i really dream that when i get water baptised, it'll be the same day that my parents get water baptised. How cool is that man! Seeing Elgin and Auntie Jennifer get baptised together on the same day.. Yeah, that's what i dream about.

anyway, i just want to say that i REALLY REALLY REALLY love Charmaine Lim :D

she's just so amazing and i love her to bits. i'm praying with her about tmr, can't wait to see her tmr and i can't wait to mug together with her on tuesday.

i can't wait for another AWESOME service tomorrow!

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY :D

2009-04-04T02:25:00.002+08:00

today i had an awesome time worshipping God with puah! we were just practising for CG but God's presence came and we just felt led on to just dwell and spend time in the presence of God, prayed together.. it was woooo. awesome. puah was zai! and i just know and have faith that tmr's cg will be great too!

OH I DROVE VERY FAR TODAY. haha from amk to serangoon but along a not very challenging road i must say. but i'm just happy i got to drive so much today. my license is nearing reality :D

okay, and tmr's gna be a long day.

catchya around yo.

in need of a fresh revelation

2009-04-02T19:01:00.004+08:00

ytd i spent some time with ivan on our way to town from church!

it was fun just talking to ivan and though that conversation was really short, it really inspires me! i'm happy to see ivan so happy with his life! it's like his joy and satisfaction with his life was infectious and some of it stayed with me even after ivan left!

talking to ivan, i realised its time for me to really spend more quality time with God, to seek a fresh revelation.

we had an amazing leaders meeting with pastors on tuesday! it was a really long 3 hour meeting which felt nothing like 3 hours! i'm just feeling so excited for the future now! just as many before me has done it, i can also serve God and do well for my A's!

it's about having faith, having revelation, having determination!

last night, i went to play L4D for the very first time! and as expected, i was all giddy at the end of the hour and i could barely walk straight. but the funny thing is during school today, i kept feeling like... I CANT WAIT TO PLAY AGAIN! hahah despite all the pain i had to go through for a full half an hour after the game. but it really was fun man!

this weekend's gna be a busy and exciting weekend!

except for the fact tht i might have to miss service on sunday because of AJC family day. i'm still trying to find a way to get out of it, cracking my brains, praying real hard.. i dont have to go school on monday because the school declared this sunday to be an official sch day. WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO REPORT IN SCHOOL AT 7.30AM ON SUNDAY... so i really dont know if the monday holiday is that good a thing. i'd rather go to church on sunday and then go school on monday.

guess just got to really trust God now first!

okay, i'm going to mug now!

tata.

fun week :D

2009-03-28T00:17:00.002+08:00

this is a really fun week!

ytd we had a powerful session with C3!!!

C3!!!!

the band came and showed us many stuff and it was seriously a great session.

what did we learn?

its something beyond words can describe, you just have to be there to experience it.

in fact, we probably wont be doing God's presence justice if we can explain it so simply.

tonight, we are also having with a powerful session with c3!

but its not the band, its my wonderful cg!

there's a total of 9 noisy girls here (and 1 quiet and hardworking yassy)

and we're all going crazy on guitar hero world tour!

it's like wooohooo very fun!

AND ESTHER IS CRAZY.

SHE'S SO GOOD ON THE DRUMS.

i also went out with deco to buy new stuff for the ministry but the exciting things we found were the little shops behind arab street!

its cool!

i found 2 pairs of shoes that i completely fell in love with but currently have no kaching to buy them.

but well, I ORDERED 2 THREADLESS SHIRTS and im really happy.

man, im so addicted to shopping.

2 days of elearning and well, i must say im really happy that i dont have to be in school.

BUT THERE'S REALLY SO MUCH WORK TO DO MAN.

goodness.

i hope they dont remove the material.

im so not done with it.

okayyyyy im gna rock on guitar heroes now.

BYEEEE

IM A ROCKKAAAAAARRRRRR!

with braces! (again)

2009-03-23T17:20:00.002+08:00

i've got braces again!

realised i forgot how it felt like to have braces. but one thing for sure, i really didnt miss the discomfort, the smell, the taste.

and i forgot to eat lunch.

i forgot that i cant eat solid food and all i ate today was a little kueh from the canteen's snack stall.

what was wrong with me.

im starvingggg now!

the holidays came and went and it feels like i didnt accomplish much academically.

but believe me, the stress is taking over already.

beginning to feel really scared if i cant do well.

a levels is a real test of one's faith man.

(and i know the army pple will say army's worse)

oh well, i better buck up and mug harder already.

(anyone out there who would like to offer physics expertise?)

happy (:

2009-03-03T01:18:00.002+08:00

yes my birthday was really enjoyable!

thks dex, clarence, yiyi, sky, amelia, frank, jolie and even koon :D

hmm weird combi but still fun all the same!

oh yeah, and joyce too. for warning me about the cake. AHHAHA!

happy birthday!

2009-03-02T18:35:00.003+08:00

to me (:

haha tht kinda sound like a really sad thing to say.

"happy birthday to me."

well, on the contrary my birthday had been really enjoyable!

firstly, I LOVE MY CG!

they were so sweet :D

every single one of them wore an astroboy tht says "happy birthday ruoen" on their shirt!

and they all wore it the entire day even though i was on hospi and could only see all of them for like 5 minutes.

(oh but i did see it more than 5 minutes because careless jo came upstairs wearing it before i was sposd to see it.. HAHA)

THANK YOU C1C3, you guys are a lovely bunch of pple!

I LOVE ALL OF YOU MAN!

thks to joshua, debbie, yixian and pinnlynn who jumped at me after my lit class and running away in the most comical way right after singing my birthday song.

seriously, i was like ??!

it all happened in a flash and i dont knw wht really happened.

but i do rmb joshua's super loud voice. HAHA

thks man! btw, i really love p.osh brownies :D

thks 02/08 for the celebration!

i think our class has a problem with trying to be discreet.

but its great all the same :D

enjoyed myself! so thanks!

thks to noel (again) for being the first to call me (again)

and singing tht very.. hmmm.. depressing sounding birthday song with dale and clarence!

thks to many for many unexpected birthday wishes!

well, there's just so many pple to thank.

so basically thank you everyone :D

yknw, my mum always say tht we kids shld thank her and give her a present on our birthdays.

because without her, we wouldn't even be alive.

and we got to thank her for the pain she suffered when she was carrying us.

well, thanks mum!

but thanking mum, it will only make more sense to thank God!

without God, mum cant even give birth to me even if she wanted to.

haha and without Jesus dying for me, i wonder if humanity will even survive long enough for me to come on earth.

or rather, i shld say without God creating men, i wouldnt even exist.

thank God for this wonderful creation (Haha) and redemption!

had a really powerful weekend of AI conference!

just really learned alot and reflected on my life, on my spending habits.

watching the videos, i just felt very moved.

i was moved to tears and i was really sure it was not just emotions.

on the way home, the old old song 'reflector' kept playing in my head.

and im sure its no coindence!

i believe Jesus is reminding me abt us letting His light shine through us, letting the whole world know about Him, having us to influence the world!

so i really want to give.

and thts really my birthday wish this year.

growth and give.

i wna keep growing in Christ and to become a big generous giver to God.

this yr, i wna give generously to God.

gna watch my spending, plan budgets so i can give more.

its so easy for us to give our time and energy to God.

i mean, especially in hogc, it's so fun to serve God in church!

but giving our finances to God is a whole complete different level.

sometimes it even means tht we just got to control and live without what others our age have.

they can be watching movie and drinking starbucks every other day.

they can be eating fastfood everyday (not tht i really like fastfood).

they can do many things i cannot.

but i truly dont mind :D

and like what pastor said, if we cant give our little today, we cant give much when we hve millions and billions of dollars.

if jack and cheryl can give, why not i?

if garrett can give, why not i?

if pastors can give, why not i?

if Jesus can give His life for me, why not i give my money to Him?

Jesus wants us to be a vessel of His blessings.

if He knows He can get blessings through us, He will give blessings to us.

living on that promise, i want to give generously :D

i cant see myself enjoying in a jason mraz concert knowing tht with tht amount of money for a mere 2-3 hours of entertainment, i could actually support a child for a month or more.

this last yr as a teen, im going to enjoy myself, enjoy student fares, student privileges but more than anything, im going to mature in Christ and be a great giver to God's kingdom (:

i love my Jesus!

i wanna be a reflector

i wanna shine with Your glory

i wanna let the whole world know that You're living in me

i wanna burn with Your fire

shine Your light a little brighter

i wanna let the whole world know that Jesus lives in me

i need new nose

2009-02-10T00:19:00.000+08:00

sian.

haha hello!

2009-01-28T01:47:00.002+08:00

gong xi fai cai everybody :D

first day of school

2009-01-12T23:05:00.003+08:00

not so bad!

few tchrs changed.

im gna miss mrs cheong!

but im quite okay with the rest of the tchrs i guess.

you cant get the best of both worlds (like hannah montana. haha)

went shopping with mum today.

i saw loads of leopard prints everywhere.

it was like eeloo haunting me.

heehee.

there was a fire at paya lebar, beside singpost.

a pretty bad one.

whole paya lebar was smokey and stinky.

two shops burnt down and black.

sis got back her results and did really really well!

mum called nearly everyone in her phone list to announce her results.

inspires me to call everyone in my phone list to announce the Good News.

im getting good at this, blogging more often.

hahahaha.

sch!

2009-01-12T00:02:00.001+08:00

there's school tomorrow!

that statement can be read positively or negatively.

it depends on your perspective.

gdnight.

running wild.

2009-01-10T00:25:00.002+08:00

the last few days of my life have been packed to the max.

i've been rushing and running from one place to another.

it would be amazing for me to reach one place with my hair looking all neat and tidy.

no, its always all over the place these days.

i really need a haircut (SINFEIIIIIII, YOUU YOU YOU YOU YOUU.)

one last push before school starts!

ew, school.

i've watched alot alot of movies this holidays and i dont knw if i shld feel good or bad about it.

one thing for sure, im pretty much broke.

i watched close to every movie tht came out this holiday man.

and nearly all were midnight movies too...

i watched bolt, twilight, ~~quarantine~~, tropic thunder, coffin, bedtime stories, AUSTRALIA, IP MAN, RED CLIFF 2, and i really think there's more but i just cant rmb them now.

basically, its crazy.

and im not even done watching the shows.

i want to watch inkheart and seven pounds too.

this is a movie addiction man.

a serious one.

time has really passed really quickly.

like dom said, friends' night seemed so long ago though its only 10/11 days ago.

we're only one and a half weeks into the new year but it feels as if we've been in 09 for some time.

or rather, i still feel like we're in 08. (im still having problems writing the date without making a mistake..)

but nah, we're really really in 09 and this yr's gonna be real exciting.

except the a'levels part i guess.

but seeing how fast the time flies by, i better start treating this whole a'levels thing seriously before i realise its tooooo late.

which means i got loads of catching up to do.

on brp too.

well. i really got to pull up my socks.

be blindfolded for Christ (:

do the right thing!

ramblings.

2009-01-09T02:02:00.006+08:00

i want to blog.

but i dont know what to blog about.

haha.

my brain is not ready for school!

how how how how how!

i have been trying to chiong my holiday homework but i hvnt been making much progress.

well, but im glad i started.

previously i only started when school really reopens which is really too late.

so i really am glad that we have the extra one week after New Year to get ourselves adjusted.

they shld have started this thing from long ago.

im at shermaine's house now and in a few hours' time, we're going to wake up and send elgin off.

everyone's going army these days.

we're all like taking turns to go tekong to send pple off.

man, we're really all growing up.

my mum no longer gets worried when i said "my friend is sending me home." (though tht would make quite alot of taxi drivers my friend)

we're watching this hongkong show on tv and this guy just beat up this girl and killed her dog.

ew.

and her friend just drove away.

and joyce and shermaine were going "ah ah! oh no!"

heehee.

shermaine was so funny.

"okay now, the volume you can put at 11. last time i put at 12 my mum said very loud. but later when she comes home, you must put at 9. see i memorise all alrdy."

oh somehow the guy came back to save the girl.

coming to shermaine's house to stayover, you must be briefed first.

got alot of briefing one.

i think she shld just come up with a checklist next time.

THINGS TO TELL MY FRIENDS WHEN THEY STAYOVER.

- tell them who's at home.

- tell them i got a dog.

- tell them about tv volume.

- tell them to say hi to my grandmother in the morning.

- tell them about our talking volume.

- tell them my grandmother and the baby might wake up.

- tell them whatever else i want to add.

shermaine's sister is super like her.

she talk like her, laugh like her, skinny like her, EVEN HER FINGER LOOKS LIKE SHERMAINE'S!!!!

uh okay.

i cant think of any more exciting thing to say.

in fact, i dont think any of the above were that exciting.

especially the school part.

haha.

byebye.

uh actually i was done blogging.

but joyce looked over and said "WHOA YOU STILL BLOGGING! YOU MUST TALK ABOUT ME! TALK MORE ABOUT ME TALK MORE ABOUT ME!"

tadaa.

joyce is my peng you.

she is a very funny peng you.

a peng you who finds it very amazing that shermaine has a charger that will fit her phone.

a peng you who really wants a classy stayover party for gzone like the one on the party planner with david somebody show.

a peng you who wants her peng you to blog more about her.

a peng you who... nah i shall not tell you that one. so bad.

a peng you. a good peng you (:

okay joyce, i talked more about you already.

goodnight.

coherent?

2008-12-31T19:35:00.003+08:00

dexter said im being too coherent on my blog.

i'm deejaying with him in an hour and a half.

we watched movie with tons of people yesterday.

ip man was good.

i played a trick on ernest yesterday and he hasn't found out yet.

yay.

the gray rambutana love hannah montana.

(dexter says kinda like darren)

now, this post will expand until our duty starts.

im serious.

dexter's itunes library take 13.1 days to finish playing once through but our song list only has 233 songs.

hi. i am dexter. im like a guest star in ruoen's personal talk show.

i liek to eat bananas before eating rice.

gd for digestion! like happy.

i prefer gobstoppers before meals.

some are bleen and some are grue.

yes, i said BLEEN AND GRUE. i was suppose to say green and blue. but it came out all wrong. yvonne char cant really pronounce "wrong" it goes.. "wong".

wouldnt samwong respond?

doubt it. but may jon will. jon is a cool guy who can run. alot.

my goodness. next song next song.

i dont have dancing in the moonlight.

i wouldnt mind dancing in the moonlight in place of ur missing song.

though i think it would be awkwardly out of place.

oh ruoen is on the phone.

so i think i must keep typing.

errr.

if ever you have the opportunity to kill and skin a quail, please.. do it fast and pull the head out far. cuz i didnt pull far enough, and the head kinda dangled for a while.

im sorry, quail.

but you tasted pretty good. your meat was pretty tough probably cuz you were tensed and panicking when your head dangled.

i think i should switch topic. hahahahaha.

i went to a fish farm when i was young and bought 50 cents fishes for my brother was i was young.

then he spent close to $20 to buy a pump to keep the fishes alive.

i always wanted to have a fish tank at home. the problem is that i probably wont feed them. so i didnt buy any fish. OH! there was once i had guppies as pets.

then we got to go. not to the pet shop. but to make things happen (:

woohoo seeya.

diary of a wimpy kid

2008-12-28T22:13:00.002+08:00

this is a blog, not a diary.

but never mind, the title is not sposd to suggest anything abt me as a wimpy kid.

the title is the title of my favourite book of the season.

ITS A LAME LAME BOOK.

anyway, im blogging because clarence sim, seated beside me now, insists that i keep this thing alive and updated.

actually he's not the only one.

my life is always getting more and more exciting.

tmr itself i have so many things to do im so proud i actually worked something out and make sure i go for as many things as possible.

nxt week im starting driving lessons!

UHHHH I FORGOT TO CALL MY INSTRUCTOR AND I'M AN HOUR LATE.

hahahaha

uh, this entry is full of nonsense and it is completely incoherent.

the word incoherent reminds me of my gp homework.

and my math homework.

and my physics homework.

and my chem homework.

and my lit homework (okay, this one maybe not really).

ohman.

okay.

haha.

byebye.

astroboy changeddddd :(

2008-12-22T00:05:00.003+08:00

they are going to change astroboy!!!!!!! :( :( :(

for the stupidest reasons ever...

they are going to give him a "bigger rear end", remove his pretty eyelashes and give him a new shirt when he's supposed to look half-naked.

it's supposed to cater more to the westerners.

which explains why in the above picture, astroboy looks more angmo than ever before.

seriously, he's just a robot.

giving him a "bigger rear end", removing his pretty eyelashes and giving him a new shirt is as good as changing him into another robot altogether.

i mean, if they dont like astroboy the way he is, try the transformers or something.

at least Optimus Prime already is big, without pretty eyelashes and totally covered.

haha what a big fuss over robots.

well i still wish they dont change my astroboy.

whatever it is, i still only have one Superhero. (:

nursery rhymes

2008-11-26T02:40:00.003+08:00

im going to blog about something dumb

past my bedtime, this what i become

(seriously, its only because its past bedtime

but its cool how i can still make this rhyme!)

i went to dex's blog after reading his gibberish

and got inspired to come up with more rubbish

one two three four five

once i caught a fish alive

six seven eight nine ten

then i let it go again

why did i let it go

because it bit my finger so

which finger did it bite

this little finger on my right

if you just look at it more carefully

you will realise it's not exactly rhyme-pretty

ten does not rhyme with again

call it a rhyme? oh no it ain't!

neither does bite rhyme with right

or at least i dont think it sounds right!

i think i make better rhymes

i shld do this even more times!

okay i cheated cos i found rhymes from

the website called rhymer.com!

now im addicted with playing with english

but im going to stop sounding foolish

gdnight world

haha

what a happening life

2008-11-18T05:08:00.004+08:00

haha okay, i hvnt been blogging for some really long time.
even army guys are blogging more often than i do.
man.

hahah but my life has been really exciting!
good things, bad things, but its all part of growing, going to the next level!

its exciting to see how God brings all of us, hogc, to a whole new place, places we probably didnt imagine we could be!
like C3 is coming this saturday with ps josh kelsey!

like nick vujicic will be coming back agn!
like us growing by the hundreds in weeks!
like c1c3 hitting 97!
its just so fun to have this certain suspense as we keep imagining and 4D-ing where's God bringing us to next!
its like us trying to guess whts going to happen in the next heroes episode! but definitely more exciting than that!
indeed, His thoughts are higher, way much higher, than our thoughts.

just picturing wht Ps Kong said!
about us having a double portion of CHC..

man, we're really going to be something great!
and i just cant help but start imagining what role am i going to play in that big picture!
i definitely cant imagine myself not being a part of it.

oh how much would i be missing out on if im not a part of it!

and to those who have been missing out, hey, just get back onto the race and run with us!
dont miss out anymore man.
dont even think twice.

and dont worry!

it has been done before and it will be done agn for you!
be encouraged because everyone else is more than happy to have you back alongside with us.
its going to be an amazing future!
the more the merrier!

this holiday, so fun-packed.
just so many things happening, so many things that i just cant wait for!
with holidays like this, i really wonder how i managed to live through those God-less, church-less holidays.
i mean, it was boring man.

i can barely handle a week at home now.

and then, we were talking about months!

of course, having exciting holidays means i cant go out and work for extra cash like many others.

or at least, its not as easy.
but i'd rather be serving God and lay up my treasures in heaven than to have all the riches in the world.
its a radical thing to say.

no wonder its hard for pple to accept and understand.
i surely wouldnt mind having both!

but its going to take some faith!
and faith too, even if i have to forgo many things in this life for greater things ahead.

i dont know wht else to say.
well, maybe there's just too much to say!

yknw wht? i really love my cg (tht includes c1!)

and we're just going to keep on growing and growing.

watch out man!

grow grow grow

2008-10-23T03:50:00.000+08:00

just a little bit more
just a little bit longer
just a little bit further

capacity
competency
wisdom

yes its possible (:

how big is God?

2008-09-22T13:53:00.000+08:00

how big is God?
He's very very VERY BIG!

thts from some children church song tht christine sent me some long long time ago.

have you ever wondered how big is God?
or rather, wht does it mean to have a really big God?
well i did :)
during worship over the last two days, i could feel God's presence so magnificently.
its like suddenly i felt super small but His presence encompasses me and it was a really sweet and peaceful feeling.
but more than anything, it reminded me of how big God is!

wht does it mean for us to have a big God?
like wht d3 had proved to us, having a big God means we have many reasons to praise and worship Him.
and listing 1000 is probably only just a fraction of it all.
but i must say they were incredible.
to be able to think of 1000 different reasons why we are christians!

having a big God means He is able to watch out for us wherever we are, wherever we go.
it means even when we took the wrong path, He will always guide us back to the right one and will be waiting for us at the end of the road with open arms, like a daddy waiting for his baby to walk to him when he first learns to walk.
its abt learning to walk the right way.

having a big God means it seriously is a great honour and privilege to be able to serve Him in His house.
tht though small, we're at least worthy to be His servant.
pst lia preached, wht qualifies us to serve God?
its not abt wht we have but wht we are.
because we are His children. we learn to minister to God.
when we have the right spirit, we can serve God but even thn, its such a privilege to be able to serve, to be a part of God's wonderful plans.

having a big God means He is bigger than any of our problems.
no matter how big the prob is, as long as there's God and faith, the prob no longer exists!

my promos may be a big thing but its small to God.
the promotion is mine and i claim it in faith :)
faith and success!

okay back to mugging!

BTT PASSED (:

2008-09-19T11:48:00.007+08:00

HARHARHAR

first attempt (:

yay yay yay yay yay (:

by the way, last night, for the first time in my life, dont miss this,

I WATCHED ONE EPISODE OF ASTROBOY!

and i actually found out how he was formed and how he actually even sounded like.

HAHA.

so much for being a diehard astroboy fan huh.

IVANN!!!

2008-09-19T11:48:00.004+08:00

man, i really miss the presence of ivan around in church.

9 more day 9 more days!

i've been spending loads of time mugging with sinfei and nadine. and being around them makes me miss ivan even more.

and yes, we really have been mugging.

not just playing.

although we get distracted sometimes.

later, i'm going to meet them to mug agn in church (:

its only a few more days left to promos.

i dont rmb being so scared of my promos last yr.

maybe thts why im mugging for promos agn this yr.

and also for my btt because its just such a waste of time to retake stupid tests.

meanwhile, im going to mug awhile before making my way to ssdc.

oh yes, photos coming up soon.

facebook's been giving me problems...

heehehe

2008-09-10T03:34:00.006+08:00

wooohooo. it's alrdy the 10th day of september.

tht means there's only abt 12 days left to promos... MAN!

oh but tht also means 9 days to my BTT (:

one step closer to driving!

last weekend was seriously a powerful service.

i was flooding the auditorium with my tears but God's presence was simply so strong.

God also told me quite a lot of stuff by reminding me of things tht happened in the past.

good things tht happened in the past, opportunities tht happened in the past.

it really sets me thinking.

and i'm still thinking and praying for God to show me and guide me to my destiny in life.

God is awesome (:

and today, im just amazed and overwhelmed once again by how Jesus could fast 40 days and 40 nights.

haha. there's a reason why He's God and i'm not.

the opportunity is now.

grab it or miss it.

my Jesus, my all

You're the love of my life

wherever You go

wanna be by Your side

no longer i but Christ living in me

serving You for all eternity

my eyes set on You

in this race that i run

no longer my ways

but Your will be done

make me a servant

my heart's ever true

clinging to the cross

i'll follow You

laptops and their battery lives

2008-08-20T18:24:00.002+08:00

i decided to post something because the previous post makes me seem like some super pessimistic person which i am not.

i'm in sch now and i just came back from IMH not long ago.

went there to go cip and it was... well, some were cute, some were pretty freaky, some really talented.

but it was quite fun there la.

the red cross president was having so much fun learning gambling tricks from on of the ladies there that he didn't even want to leave.

hmmmm.. 4 minutes left on the laptop. not very nice. i'm barely done blogging.

and the power socket is super far away.

i'm not lazy to move. it's just that over at the power socket, there's no fan and tht's not very nice either.

and i thought, since we're going green and all, why don't they make laptops tht are solar-powered? tht's an idea huh? maybe i shld start selling tht idea. HAHA. who knws, i may become the next steve jobs or something.

okay, 4 minutes left.

i think i shldnt wait until it dies before i stopped blogging.

because thn, it wouldnt be posted up.

3 mins..

okay, BYE! (:

my death date

2008-08-07T02:05:00.000+08:00

haha i was doing gp research on work-life balance.
and for some reason i got reminded of the death clock.
till thn, i'm going to make full use of my life.
and i'll start by completing my gp homework.
gdnight my friends (:

life's been great (:

2008-08-04T02:32:00.004+08:00

cch is addicting.

the children are all sooooo sweeet!

charmaine gave me a star keychain tht she and charlotte made! in fact, she hung it on my phone for me!

and the other charmaine, pulled me around and refused to take a proper pic with me..

but you knw she loves the house of God because as we were playing ard, she saw an empty drink bottle, she took it and said, "lets go throw this away!" and it was so cute when she dragged me along because she didnt dare to go into the empty auditorium alone..

and yes, it was pretty weird to see the audi so empty on a sat night..

ushering for fop was super duper fun!

its an amazing experience!

its seriously a privilege, to be an usher in the indoor stadium, to learn so much from the chc ushers.

nvr thought i would ever usher because for some reason i nvr got deployed into usher ministry despite the many times i "applied" (hmmm.. apply sounds like a weird word before bmt existed)

so it was really exciting for me. scary at some point because i had no idea what to do.

but fun!

to see how the ushers think, to see how they work, how fast they are.

wooohooo.

and friday's session was just so cool.

and thn again, cool sounds like an understatement.

its like a picture of the future.

imagine having prayer meetings and services this huge.

12000 people every weekend!

many many moving heads and smoke machines tht brian cheang spent the whole friday night talking to me abt!

many many flowers and plants in front of the stage (with leaves perfectly angled.. *HAHA FRRROWERS AND FFEATHERRS joke*)

well and many many other stuff.

well it's just really really cool.

i love my church so so much.

hogc's gna grow grow grow!

well, life's been really good for me.

and i just cant stop saying, I LOVE MY LIFE (:

which wouldnt be as funfilled without Jesus in it.

i'm going to school tmr!

haha kinda miss ivan saying "go to sch ar" every sunday night.

HAHAHAHA.

ruoen's new toy (:

2008-07-24T01:53:00.002+08:00

i've got a new toy!

and i'm playing with it right now.

it's white and it's got a picture of an apple on it (:

i woke up to chiong my homework and tadaa! there it was ready for me (:

today i went down to ocs

done a lot of crazy stuff there

took super alot of pictures and i tell you my tchr was the ultimate camwhore..

she was........... okay, i shant say.

now you're left to wonder wht it is.

it could be good, it could be bad.

uhh. hahahaha.

AND I SAW ALVIN CHAN!

hahaha.

i was bad and i shouted "BYEEEEE ALVINNNNNN" before i left.

HARHAR.

but nothing happened to him.

or at least so far?

but nah, i dont think anything will happen to him.

i could very well have been saying bye to some other alvin.

i tried firing blanks today.

it was FUN man.

except i knw it was all part of the plan to brainwash us to get people to aim towards ocs and sign on.

so yeah.

but it was still fun (:

okay, i've got to go do my work.

end of the very first entry posted on a macbook (:

(ERNEST IS FINALLY COMING OUT THIS WEEKEND!!!!!)

2008-07-20T02:54:00.003+08:00

i was sposd to have reached my grandparents place now.

but no, i'm still at home.

we all got into the car and we barely left yishun before the car broke down.

in fact, we barely even left the neighbourhood.. so we got stuck at the petrol kiosk for at least half an hour before my dad came to bring us back home.

so here i am now, waiting for my bro to get his gf's car back so we can all go to msia agn.

i'm not surprised if i can only leave singapore at 4am

yeah, wht a crazy family.

but its better to leave at 4am.

once the decision is made to go tmr morning instead, its as good as saying we're not going anymore. from another perspective, tht might be a better choice for me but nah, i shld go see my ah gong ah ma and celebrate their birthdays.

this day is a really long day.

it seemed eons ago that i was in the mangrove at pasir ris park, picking up nonsense washed in by the tide.

i must say it was pretty fun. but it was tiring.

at any one time, i think i'd still prefer tutoring primary school kids to picking up trash.

OH, WE FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES IN THE END.

but its okay, we've got another half a year worth of weekends to go.

by thn, we'll be sick of taking pictures too.

we picked up 108kg of trash in less than 2 hours and i think it was quite an accomplishment. one tht we're quite sure the nxt group cant match up to (: HAR HAR AZFARRRRT.

tdy, i met ruth and rachael!

tht meeting truly proved how singapore is seriously small.

we thought we were total strangers.

but ruth actually came over to my house before and even cooked and ate spaghetti with me (:

i even rmb her telling me about how her sis, rachael, cooked spaghetti for the family!

and thn when i introduced myself to rachael, she went "OH RUOEN!"

and i realised she, like many of my friends, was in the same band as my younger sis in ytss.

not only tht. her sposd "other half" happens to be one of my good friends in ajc!

how much smaller can the world get, you ask?

they live next block to me.

HAHAHA the world is indeed small.

okay, i guess i'll go and catch some sleep before embarking on my journey north.

i'm going to miss everybody tmr...

and lastly, i just wna say tht,

I REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE MY LIFE (:

love God, love life, love people. it's powerful.

haha okay!

gdnight!

byeeee!

2008-07-14T21:20:00.002+08:00

i just ended BMT(B) training for DECORRRR (: 3 minutes ago.

me and flowers became friends!

it is very interesting and you learn many weird things about flowers.

FRROWERRS AND FEATHERRS (:

very long day in school tdy

but happy things kept me going!

(tht does not include the one hour of sleep i got from skipping chem lecture...heehee. at least i'm honest!)

now i've got to do my bmt homework for hospi.

you knw i realised my life is going to be very packed from now on to the rest of the year, or maybe even to the rest of my life, BUT I REALLY ENJOY IT.

i was talking to wini yesterday on msn, trying to find a time to go on outing together.

and thn i realised i really dont have much free time this week left.

or at least, the two of us didnt have common free time.

BUT I'M HAPPY AT THE THOUGHT OF IT.

at least i'm doing something, be it things in school, things at home, or God's work.

at least i'm not idling my life away like many pple my age are.

i really love my life.

things are going to pile up but i'm praying for an increase in capacity.

GROWTH

SPIRITUALITY

CAPACITY

2008-07-14T01:47:00.002+08:00

it was a long but very fulfilling weekend.

service prayer meetings were powerful as usual.

and through all these prayer meetings, we have really gone up another level.

but we've still got a long way to go, to pray LOUD and LONG and grow like Pst Cho's church!

had a great discipleship class with pst how this morning.

it was a relaxed session, with God's presence there and us absorbing from the man of God (:

really really got to increase man!

when things pile up, the way to go is INCREASE, not compromise.

whoa i really learnt alot today man.

and next week, i declare and proclaim that you shall see my dad in church (:

FAITH!!!

35 to 50!

i need to be homeworking

2008-07-10T17:27:00.004+08:00

hoho. sya just helped me list down the amount of homework i have to complete.

it was the most horrendous list i've ever seen man.

there's work for every single subject.

and we didn't even include lit because sya don't take lit.

but good thing i cleared alot of the gp ones, which probably usually takes the most time to do.

oh and the most motivation to begin doing too.

okay maybe not. because motivation comes when you begin to fear wht the crazy sadist can do to you if you hand in your work late by 1 min.

hahaha.

SYA JUST SMSED TO SAY SHE OVERSLEPT ON THE TRAIN AND BOUNCED BACK TO CCK.

how smart.

haha, i still laugh when i see the video of ern's haircut.

exciting days

2008-07-09T01:52:00.008+08:00

exciting day #01

c1 and c3 had a super duper whooper booper supper hooper guper uber outing!

it was a bigbigbigbig bang and it was like the best outing we've ever had in history.

there were loads of captain's ball, crazy bowling (whereby victor probably still thought we were still playing captain's ball because he threw the ball and sent it in projectile motion onto the next lane before it kinda bounced back to the original lane's GUTTER.)

GUTTER is a word i learnt from chew. we are not sposd to use drain because thts low-class.

and after bowling it was ice & water.

it was crazy, 2 catchers with like 15 other pple to catch, around the entire east coast.

before the catchers got tired, the pple running around got tired and surrendered (:

THEN IT WAS MORE CAPTAIN'S BALL.

assasin renzhi has got a new name called PINK.

and there was a short red one and a short white one whom i shall not name.

we had dinner at parkway and thn went our ways.

megan was so funny. one moment she wanted us to wait with her for her dad. thn when she realised tht 5 other pple were waiting with her, she went "please go home! i'm a big girl! i can wait myself!"

oh and did i mention, i met weewee no. 2 (vicky's sec sch friend)

thn i headed to marina square to meet bling and pple for bling's farewell dinner.

except i didnt eat but the rest ate alot and the bill was scary.

we walked over to raffles place and started playing a 50m dog&bone in a pretty dark place.

so dark you can barely see sahai. HARHAR.

you might not see ernest but he was wearing a light blue shirt who gave him away.

ivan's team played tactics and was the ultimate ownage and the other side surrendered (:

but we all had our last trains to catch..

exciting day #2

went for prata supper with ernest again, with loads of pple including bling's godbrother who has a very cool name - choby.

the highlight of the night - ERNEST'S HAIRCUT CEREMONY (:

and if a picture speaks a thousand words, a 8:31min video speaks millions..

so here you go

and the end product:

we have a sad but very cute ernest samuel s/o elanggoan (:

(and uh.. a happy noeldickson who looks a bit like he was photoshopped in.)

bling, we'll miss you loads (:

seeyou in two weeks!

ruoen, the healthy kid

2008-07-03T02:15:00.001+08:00

i've been a healthy kid!

on monday i went cycling.

on tuesday i cycled to meet chew to go to gym.

on wednesday, i had pe.

my stomach muscles are aching.

BUT I'M A HEALTHY KID (:

RU IS TAKING TOO LONG TO RECONSTRUCT HER BLOG.

2008-07-01T01:12:00.000+08:00

the title of this post says it all.

2008-07-01T00:56:00.003+08:00

HAPPY FUNNY BIRTHDAY FUNNY VANESSA HAN!!!! :D

ha ha. i sent her a funny birthday sms and i think it's really funny.

i cant stop laughing after typing it.

anyway, i was a naughty girl tdy and i didnt go to school.

but it was a long journey to get an mc.

it usually isnt.

but today, it was just stupid.

all the clinics i went closed just minutes before i reached there.

i shld have just be smart and gone to the family doc which is just downstairs.

and after cycling around yishun, tht was what i did at the end of the day.

haha that sounded like i cycled around yishun to find clinics.

no i didnt!!!

i went to polyclinic thn to khatib.

thn i decided to go to macs to do some work while waiting for the clinic to open.

but i couldnt use the internet there!!

i switched to calling up people but soon after, the phone batt started to die...

so i left.

and thn i decided to exercise and go cycling ard yishun since i hvnt cycled in such a long time.

anyway, i had some time to kill.

so i did and i literally went around the whole of yishun and went pass every single one's house.

thn i realised alot of powerful people live in yishun.

ALOT.

and i also want to be one of the powerful people!

hahah i cant wait for chew to move to yishun so we can cycle around yishun together.

its so fun!! :D

CHEW, HURRY UP. MOVE HERE AND BUY A BIKE.

okay, i need to buy a bike too.

i used my sis's friend's bike tdy... haha.

OH, and how can i forget,

SPAIN WONNNNNN (:

haha. i only managed to watch less than the first half though.

i was super tired and i fell asleep.

HAHA

but at least i saw the world-changing goal by torres at 33"

yay!

SPAIN WILL WIN TONIGHT

2008-06-30T01:49:00.002+08:00

i'm staying up for the match man!
like ivan said, it's a match no one shld miss man.
even non-soccer-fans.
even if you knw nuts about soccer, there is just no reason for you to miss the euro finals!

okay, actually there might be just one reason.
SCHOOL TMR.

but something cool just happened.
i was cracking while showering just now, how am i going to watch the match without my mum knwing.
i mean she definitely wont be thrilled at the idea of me staying up to watch a match if there's school the next day.
but thn when she came into the room, my problem was solved.
she asked why i didnt go and watch the match, as if she wasnt even expecting me to be home so early.
so i'm taking tht as permission to watch the match.
afterall, she said "finals leh!"
hahah my mum is real hip and real cool.

i just wish she could become even cooler and hipper by getting saved (:

today started off with a breakfast with some of the third day pple.
dex, for the first time in 239846293 billion years, didnt shoo me away from third day practice!
hahaha. dex, tht's like the one and only time you've been nice to me.
okay, maybe second.

thn went to settle some hospi stuff and had discipleship class with pst how!
it was so powerful (:
even as we all began to share our thoughts, i could feel God's pahpah presence amidst us.
it was the exact same feeling i felt when i was having dinner with pastors some years back, whereby pastors were talking to a few of us about our dreams.
tht tangible presence felt was simply beyond words.
i would never ever forget the feeling.
the room wasnt too cold nor too hot, but somehow, the atmosphere kept sending chills, shivers and heat to my body at different intervals.
well i really dont knw how best to describe it.
it is supernatural and you just got to experience it for yourself to get what i mean.
seriously.

anyway,
spain will win tonight.
not tht i really support them all the way.
but in this match, i want spain to win, to own, to thrash!

2008-06-25T00:38:00.003+08:00

chem dwn, math lit and physics to go.

i wasted marks for chem but i'm not going to fail math.

i met my ah ma today! she's so adorable and cute as always.

i'm adopting her in my prayers (:

i enjoy spending time with God!

every night.

no matter how tired, spending time with God is what i'm always looking forward to.

day in, day out.

AND NOW IS THE TIME !

haha bye my friendsss (:

faith & success

2008-06-23T02:11:00.003+08:00

ytd i finally got a copy of fourth dimension!!!

the moment pst announced that we have it available at the bookstore, i was happy like HAPPY.

and so i started reading it.

and thn i began to slowly see what pastors and the leaders are really talking about when they say fourth dimension, when they say we got to have faith when we pray.

listening to them telling us is one thing. reading it yourself is a whole new thing all together.

i mean listening to them, i feel like an onlooker, trying to figure out whts happening.

reading the book, i feel like i'm moving on and growing with them!

i'm addicted to the book.

in fact, i want to read the book more than i want to read my notes. UGH.

silly exams.

it'll be over soon.

and they will be conquered beautifully (:

but it's not going to completely stop me from reading my book.

nothing's going to stop me from growing, from going closer to God.

because that's a burning desire in me.

and it's also another of my burning desires to see PIE down, PO gone.

my parents will become good friends of uncle goh and aunty lilian! HAHA (:

2008-06-16T02:25:00.002+08:00

this week is fun, packed, exciting, tiring and life-changing!

been out alot and pastor said bel and i were going to keep our mouth shut for one whole week to rest it after a whole week of talking.

well, i'm not surprised if that were to happen but knowing myself, it's really hard.

people say i can't even keep quiet for 5 seconds and i really agree on that.

hahah but i love the way i am!

not tht i'm perfect. there's still things to change.

but i still love myself (:

dont be jealous because my life is better than yours.

there were just so many things that happened this week.

OH. LIKE I GRADUATED FROM BMT (:

i must say it was really tough. especially the part whereby we got to get to church by 8am.

well, 7am for me. but it was really good challenge.

when we were back in ftms, 7am was hard but was still possible.

7am at singpost is SOOOO much harder.

but i'm glad i did it (:

and though many of the things taught were things i learnt before, it was so refreshing to hear them all over again. i mean, some were preached so looooong time ago!

but it really teaches us and prepares us to be a great army for God.

PROUD TO BE A BMT GRADUATE!!!!

i'm gonna be a fighter for Christ (:

and RIGHT after that, we had ZONE STAYOVER!

there weren't alot of activities lined up.

no it was not like secondary school camp but it had its own kind of fun.

and we celebrated dearest dearest deng huimin's birthday.

it was oohlalaaa.

there was SO MUCH FOOD you literally had to squeeze the food down.

the auntie was so nice.

i'm going to have a continuous crave for newton circus food for a season now.

well, at least that was for me because i ate dinner and the others didn't.

it was just fun, hanging out with those people.

huimin! hope you liked your coconut "cake" (:

and thn it was the long awaited SCHOOLS SEMINAR.

and i kept thinking about what pst joakim shared about how the distance between us and God actually affects the relationship between us and the people around us.

i never really saw it that way.

but ltr, i began to see that it was really true.

its not just about your church friends.

its also your school friends, your family.

Jesus truly is an all-rounder God.

when He makes things right, He goes all the way man!

"sometimes you just say yes first and wonder about the how later."

FAITH & SUCCESS MAN (:

xinchi is truly a man of great faith!

this holiday was just so fun.

ytd, i realised i had one week of the holidays left and i almost fainted.

i mean i can't believe it flew by so quickly.

i counted and was positive and super sure i still had two more weeks.

but reality forced its way through and convinced me that no, it's really just one week left.

goodness.

i really need to mug like crazy this week.

and i really need faith and capacity.

i need to live up to the name of "mugger president" and not let people like vicky leong overthrow me.

tht guy is really a mad mugger now.

and he still watches almost every single one of the euro matches.

but i guess he's no longer the PR. renzhi, i'm not so sure.. HAHA

EVEN AZFAR'S MUGGING. hohoho.

okay, i really need to start mugging.

i really need coke.

HAHAAA I'M SERIOUSLY ADDICTED TO COKE.

i think i've drunk on average a can per day and to me, that's really a lot.

but coke seriously rocks man.

HAHA.

JULIA, I LOVE COKE!!!!!!!!!

God's words

2008-06-05T16:29:00.001+08:00

The joy of the Lord is my strength!

rice dumplings (:

2008-06-03T17:16:00.003+08:00

i made some rice dumplings with my mum tdy!

been bugging her for two years to make some alrdy.

but for some reason, she said she couldn't make it last yr so we had to wait till this yr!

this was attempt number 1.

mum said my ahma said the corners of a dumpling is very impt. but obviously i failed to make the corners nice and sharp.

my dad laughed like mad when he saw this.

and as laughter is contagious, i laughed like mad as i was tying it too.

so it really wasnt sposd to look this bad.

I INSIST.

but i improved after awhile!

okay, actually this was the only nice one i made the entire day.

whoa i enjoy making dumplings man.

but its really a long and tiring process.

my mum was saying, after her generation is all gone, no one from my generation will make dumplings anymore.

i beg to differ.

i'll make sure i learn it, make it right, and teach my future kids.

HAHAHAHA.

thn i'll tell them: "my ah ma says when you make dumplings, you must make sure you get nice corners. if not, she will scold you."

HAHA.

2008-06-02T22:29:00.005+08:00

i had a really exciting exciting weekend!!

there was camp, there were services with pst tan, one great service with pst lia!

didnt get the opportunity to blog earlier but it was so so so so great to have pastors back home (:

AND I LOVE ZONE F (:

they are so full of energy. and their energy gets transferred too. it kinda defies the physics idea of energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

with zone f, energy MULTIPLIES!

oh did i mention, jan is such a noisy girl. HAHA

she koped my toiletries and only returned them the next day.

if i could shout one thing to the world

it would be to know You

if i could give my life to a cause

it would be for You

if i could have one reason to testify

it would be about the way

You set me free

2008-05-27T02:27:00.002+08:00

it's a day after Red Rain concerts and their songs are still stuck in my head.

I LOVE THEIR NEW SONGS MAN (:

its really a pity they dont have new album.

but you knw wht i really love?

was just talking to ks abt it... it's still the song Red Rain!

there's just something abt it, the prechorus...WHOOOSH and it washes you into God's presence.

it's amazing.

i love tht song uberly much.

maybe because it reminds me of my salvation.

i can nvr get tired of tht song.

but now, i'm getting kinda tired.

tmr, i'm going to shop ard for some nice plates.

i hope i can find something cheap and cool.

hahaha.

AND THN IT'S HOSPI CLEANUP (:

AND THN, THERE'S CAMP (:

when His love rained down on me

when His blood rained down on me

2008-05-24T02:33:00.002+08:00

gp paper tdy! all i can rmb is the question for paper 1 is abt sports and the hall was super cold.

FULLSTOP (:

went to j8 for lunch.

do you knw the different sounds animals make?

syafeefee says: dogs bark, cats meow, rabbits bitbit and snails? KRRUNCH.

eww.

AND THE BEST PART OF THE DAY - I WENT FOR RED RAIN PRAYER MEETING (:

the presence was interestingly strong, coming not mainly from Red Rain who was leading woship but from us, who we all can probably sense were truly worshipping from deep inside.

it was simply powerful beyond words.

and after tht prayer meeting, we can just be assured for a great atmosphere tmr!

first class spiritual atmosphere!!

okay, i'm really looking forward to a GREAAT concert tmr. there's still chance for you to say you wna come! i still have tickets!

constipated

2008-05-20T20:38:00.004+08:00

tdy when i was in school having my super long break, i went to the library.

i actually wanted to do my work but thn decided to go read some blogs first.

so i read a few of ivan's entries, quite alot of chew's entries and a few of xing's entries.

after reading their posts, i just felt super inspired and touched by God.

at that moment, i even started to cry in the library!

i'm not sure if anyone saw but tht i wouldn't care.

if only they could feel the presence of God too..

and i wanted to blog RIGHT THERE AND RIGHT THN BUT school computers are all blocked from blogger. SO SAD MAN. and i felt so... constipated's the word.

yknw i nvr understood why they had to block blogger. i mean part of our curriculum is to do a GP BLOG. and they suggested blogger as one of the preferred blog host.

okay, not the point.

well, i was just thinking about sermons tht pastors preached over the weekend, about faith and confidence, about living from revelation to revelation.

together, those 2 sermons were like the thought of the week and stayed in my mind.

i thn rmbed what pastor said before about how faith leaks.

if faith leaks, how do you stop it from leaking?

YOU FIND THE HOLE, AND YOU COVER IT UP!

when a plastic bag of milo leaks, what do you do?

you cover it up!

with your finger, with scotch tape, blu tack, anything. or simply put tht whole bag into another plastic bag so tht your milo dont go to waste!

but when faith leaks, how do we cover it up?

and i realised, it is truly by revelation from God.

thts what i understand by living from revelation to revelation, not event to event.

we live by faith, by revelation, not by the hype (:

God, pump in me some faith! And not let it leak away!!!!!!!!

2008-05-18T01:40:00.002+08:00

tdy's an exciting day!

went to church for ZONE F'S FIRST SERVICE! i think their zone t shirt is VERY VERY COOL.

but i think the coolest thing is still the fact that they are having their own service!

and they are alrdy so biggg! huimin and i was just saying, they probably can fill up the previous ftms auditorium!

and it reminds me of how we, as a youth church, outgrew henderson, outgrew ftms and finally ended up in singpost! think abt it, zone f is really a foundation to a whole new revival man!

so happy to see pastors, rinnah, charleston, yassy, garrett and aunty lilian back!

i told aunty lilian i'll wish her happy mother's day nxt yr cos i didnt get to this yr. HAHA (:

i really really really cant wait for june to start man!

there's Red Rain, many many exciting events, SOW, BMT, PASTOR JOAKIM (:

funpacked to the max!

how to mug for midyrs???

hahah, as the muggers club president, trust me, i'll find a way to keep the hobby!

dont try to overtake me. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

2008-05-14T19:19:00.006+08:00

i'm addicted to the red rain website. i think it's really cool.
i LOVE the red rain video. the one about 10 reasons why you should invite your friends for red rain.

因为他们很红!!

woohooo (:

thinking about it, i dont think i'm going to dig out the old entry anymore.
there's so many new cool things about red rain every year. who needs the old?

today, i took my chem spa and i think it went quite well.
i think i got the accuracy of the titration and i think my calculations were all cool.
yay man.

but my napfa was crap. for some reason i couldnt do my i-pulls tdy. it's okay, still a gold (:
mr tan was really nice. he almost gave everyone an A for sit&reach man.

i officially joined a CCA tdy!!!!! haha proud of me?
but of course, muggers club is still priority. (in terms of cca tht is..)

hmmm, i really gotta sleep now. real tired.
i knw it's only 8pm but i'm feeling all groggy and giddy and sleepy.
or maybe i'll do some work until 10pm then sleep.
yeah the latter sounds better. so work it is (:

byeee

PS

2008-05-12T03:25:00.000+08:00

so first up,

RED RAIN IS COMING TO TOWN AGAIN!
check out it's website!
RED RAIN'S WEBSITE
it's COOL to the MAX!

every year around this time, i will usually dig out my previous red rain posts.
i will still. just not yet. cos it's 3.19am and my mum wants me to sleep soon.
if i had my laptop with me, it wouldnt be tht big a problem to continue blogging but i stupidly left it in church...

anyway, i had a great time with chew, flea and huimin after service just now! we went to huimin's house and she and her grandma fed us like crazy!
her grandma's REAL CUTE. hahah (:

okay, time to sleep! prayer meeting at 7am tmr!!!! (:

i miss pastors, rinnah, charleston, yassy, garrett and AUNTY LILIAN!!

school hall is so hot

2008-03-18T14:10:00.002+08:00

i'm in the school hall now.
because apparently this is the only place that i can find connection and i need to send something to joyce.
but the school hall is so hot.
and at the spot tht i'm sitting, there's no moving air at all.
i'm going to recee the school someday to find a better spot to go online.
the sch computers dont allow friendster, dont allow youtube, dont allow blogger.
ewwww.

hahaha okay i really cant stand the heat anymore.
byebye.

2008-03-13T13:55:00.002+08:00

it's 1.56pm.
but i've done alot since 12am.
like rearranging blogskin, uploading songs, making friends with paint, had a meeting, shopped at cold storage at harbourfront (and got scammed), make a trip to sentosa, made sandwiches, played frisbee, mini-basketball, paid my bills, shopped at fairprice(singpost centre) and am currently in church.
cool right?

wonder how i did it?

HAHAHAHAHA :D

(in case you didnt knw, this is a sign tht i'm truly tired.)

2008-03-02T01:59:00.002+08:00

haha birthday post!
it seems like i'm going to post only when there' some big event.
okay, not really i missed new year and cny and valentine's day. all of which were super fun though! haha.

i was dreading 18 though.
IT SOUNDS SO OLD. like what frank has been saying to me since the start of this yr, 18 alrdy, can go jail ardy.
though tht doesnt exactly apply to my life.
well, at least this yr, I GET TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH (:
haha i can't help it but the moment i think of tht, i felt like laughing at elgin. okay kidding.

chrismas

2007-12-25T17:35:00.000+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS (:

jay chou really rocks

jay chou (:

2007-12-20T02:51:00.000+08:00

the other day, my mum suddenly asked a question.
"if you were given money to go watch a concert, whose concert will you go?"
i had no idea then, didnt really give it a thought before.
but now, i think i wouldnt mind going fo a jay chou concert (:

hahaha
i've been listening to jay chou a lot a lot.
i think i can be jiayang's good friend!

mugging

2007-12-19T16:37:00.000+08:00

haha as i was mugging maths, i suddenly thought of my intellectual Mathematical Induction post tht i posted months ago.
so i'm back to come up with another intellectual post.
but currently, i've got no inspiration.
so i'll return to using my brain cells on summation, series and sequences.
i'll be back if Mr Inspiration comes knocking at my door.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

anyway, i think jay chou is super zai.
his fingers fly on 88 black and white keys.
woahmama.

okay, STUDY STUDY STUDY.

keep looking ahead, no more turning back

2007-12-03T02:29:00.000+08:00

this is like some long long marathon and everyone's running together.
some faster, some slower.
up ahead, i can see a few people who are taking the lead.
turning to those beside me, we all decided to keep up with them.

but along the way, distractions got a hold on me.
perhaps they are flowers?
little pebbles along the road?
and i picked them up one by one, adoring each and every single one of them.
before i knw it, when i looked up again, i was lagging behind.
so i tried to catch up.
but things i've picked up along the way held me back, weighed me down.
i threw some of the withered flowers away but the pebbles still held me down.
even then, i still constantly looked back at those flowers that i've thrown away, thinking how beautiful they once were.
i continue running but it seems that those in front are just way too hard to catch up with.
feeling discouraged, i've tried and failed many times.

but now, it is different.
it's time to just throw off every single pebble, every single flower.
even if i cant catch up with those in front, i'll run with those who are beside me now.
i'm going to give those who are ahead of me support, cheer them on!

at the end of it all, we're all gonna meet Jesus together.

-- an image tht came to my mind a few days back
guess it's really not just about picking myself up after a fall but realising what caused my fall, fix the injuries, and start running all over again.
running on a sprained ankle won't get you far.
only makes your injury worse.

never too proud to go back to basics.

maybe the above doesn't make sense but it makes a great deal of sense to me.
i love Jesus!

this coming week's gonna be exciting!!
real exciting and i really can't wait for it!
vbs being one of the highlights, i can't wait!

gonna pack cookies in church tmr!

at the end of this week and the one to come, i expect myself to be tired, having fully made use of every single minute of my life.
but i want to make sure that at the end of it all, i can be like ivan and truly say
"i'm tired, but very very happy."

back home!! (:

2007-11-26T04:35:00.000+08:00

it's great to be home!
i'm so happy to be back in church, so happy to see everyone again..
hahah i think i nvr said so many "i missed you"s and hugging so many pple in one day.
from the moment that i knw tht i'm allowed to go to church, i was so happy!

and more than anything, it's like my life's moving on like how it should be.
at least now i can wake up knowing its sunday, not wednesday.

it's really amazing how we can have so many new exciting things in church in just the short 2 weeks though.
it's really alot man.

like we're now 950!!!!
and we've all got privilege cards tht looks so cool.
and i went into the al fresco and said "WHOA GOT NEW LIGHTS!"
and dawn went "whoa tht proves how long you hvnt been in church.."

haha goodness i just missed every single thing of church.

and honestly, it was nice knwing tht news of being dwn with chicken pox spreads faster and wider than the disease itself.

if there's something i want to thank God for,
i'll thank Him for all the great relationships i've made with wonderful Pastors, great leaders, funky peers and lovable people (:

and okay, i'll thank God for chicken pox too.
because i've learnt to appreciate everything very much more in the two weeks.

my life is great.
i dont ever want to exchange it for anyone else's life.
not yours. not his. not hers.
my blogskin says it all

i love my life
i love Jesus

(:

B & C Zone Camp!!

2007-11-16T23:36:00.000+08:00

i think the Bible in his hands are even better though
be HUNGRY for the Word, friends (:

it's time for the great B & C ZONE CAMP (:
though i don't think i can make it, thanks to chicken pox, i still think the rest of the world should go for it.
and when they are back, they can all share with me what happened.
you can be part of them!

eeloo has alrdy promised to help me take alot of pictures.
so i've alrdy got a folder prepared to keep all those pictures (: hahaha

anti-chicken pox

2007-11-16T16:52:00.000+08:00

i really hate chicken pox.
i've never tried not being able to eat so many things in my life before.

no eggs
steamed eggs, fried eggs, half-boiled eggs, salted eggs, century eggs, crab's eggs, quail eggs, every kind of eggs you can think of.
including those you find in ben & jerry's ice cream.

no soya sauce
economic bee hoon, chicken rice without soya sauce, many dishes at the chap cai beng stall, chicken chop. and many more.

no soya beans
well i thought this was easy since i dont like soya beans anyway.
NAH
bet you didnt knw chewing gum and hershey's chocolate pie belong to this category

no fried food
fish and chips, chicken cutlet, seaweed chicken, McNuggets, McChicken, McWings, KFC.
mamamamamama.

no seafood
and there's a huge pack of crabs in my fridge waiting to be cooked yknw
not tht i like crabs
i just like the eggs inside the crab
but rmb? i cant eat eggs too
and no prawns that are found in my hor fun as well

oh this is interesting.
on day 1 of my chickie poxie days, my dad want to buy horfun for me.
just to play safe, he decided to order "horfun without eggs"
and the evil auntie laughed at him for making that order because she claims "HOR FUN NA LI YOU FANG JI DAN DE!"
and while she's writing down the order, she still continued to laugh at my father.
i pray for her salvation.

but really, my dad is amazing.
though i really live near the coffee shops and markets, my dad has been going dwn there to buy food for me like twice a day (because i dont wake up in time for breakfast)
and he does it without any sign of complaints.
this is how my dad loves me (:
i thank my Daddy for my daddy

i cant wait for chicken pox to be over
i cant wait to go back to church!!!!!

i'm so going for a great feast once i'm completely healed of chicken pox.
anyone wants to join me?

I MISS CHURCH ):

2007-11-16T01:13:00.000+08:00

I MISS CHURCH ALOT ALOT ALOT!

i miss alot of pple!
i miss rinnah alot. everytime i see stickers, i think of rinnah (:

being hit with chicken and his friend pox isn't nice at all.
especially at a time like this.
everyone else just finished their major papers and here i am, stuck at home ):
like what darren says, this really made me understand how the army pple feel when they get confined in camp.

usually, in a service, you just sit in it and get so engrossed in the presence of God and in His Word that you forget all about time.
you just get so absorbed in His presense that before you know it, TADAA 2 hours is over.
but time doesn't pass as quickly at home.
at 1455 i thought service is starting soon!
at 1505 i thought first praise song!
at 1600 which felt like 2 hours (i really thought service was over until i saw the time) and i thought, the sermon probably just started?
at 1645 its still the Word! or maybe Altar Call?

well.. to cut the long story short, that 2 hours was really long long long at home.

thn pple started to tell me abt how great last week's services were.
WHY CHICKEN POX NOW???!
thn agn, which ever week my chicken pox may have came, i'll be missing great services.
i wish i had chicken pox before i was saved...
and i also heard from gabrielle tht an angel came visiting our church during service last saturday.
i can't believe i'm missing so much because of chicken pox.

but perhaps this is a blessing in disguise?
afterall, Pastors always said "absence makes the heart grow fonder"
it is true!
i really really miss church and everyone now...
to the point that i even dream about church at night.

i would dream (as in, in my sleep) about me going to church despite my chicken pox.
and in the dream i would actually feel happy yet bad for going to church with chicken pox.
and my first thought when i wake up in the morning would be "i cant believe i went to church with chicken pox"
until reality hit me again and i realised i really really didn't go to church :(

but you know what, the church i saw in my dream was a really cool place (:
perhaps a vision of the future!
i saw really professional hair stylists and make-up artists in a super cool artiste room.
i dont knw how to describe, it's just cool.

but i knw how to describe the size of the church (:
the al fresco is so huge a street soccer court was actually built there! complete with those spotlights you'll see at street soccer courts and basketball courts.
and it was really amazing cos in my dreams, every weekend there will be ALOT of people playing after service, hanging out, having fun.

haha and no, i haven't been rotting my life away while waiting for the chicken pox to heal.
i've been watching heroes.
i've been studying.
i've been reading the Bible (until 430am last night! WOOHOOOO)
i've been listening to online sermons.
i've been making everyone register FOR BC ZONE CAMP!!!!
***and those from c3 who are interested and not yet registered, do contact me soon (: i'm super free now, 24/7 open hotline (:

and i'll probably spend the rest of this holiday doing the above.
it's gna be a fruitful break (:
can't wait to go back to church again!!

I MISS CHURCH (:

hey hey

2007-10-23T02:04:00.000+08:00

HELLO (:

(loook, angelina, an update!)

blogspot ):

2007-10-02T00:11:00.000+08:00

actually i just added the pics not long ago. and let me tell you honestly, i'm irritated with blogspot.
you'll probably see me on livejournal soon.
let me conquer my promos first.

dedicated to angelina, the girl who owns roundie (:

2007-10-01T20:14:00.000+08:00

hohoho, i'm currently studying at khatib macs with angelina.
peishan is sitting alone at one corner, eating her mcnuggets and french fries.
she looks like she's enjoying herself.
jiaxin cheryl and esther went to photocopy SS notes because esther left her book in school.
what is SS?
i forgot.
i only knw othello and chem and maths.
notice i didnt mention econs because i dont knw econs. HAHA.
kianleng and minyang keep popping out once in awhile.

angelina is sooooo funny.
she's sooooooo FARNIE.
really soooper FURNAYE.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT READ WHEN EATING

incident #1
i was so tired so i took a nap.
when i woke up, i saw an orange post-it that says

(haha darren, yes, that is your calculator.)

then i sat up straight and i saw a similar note on my laptop:

i dont know.
i think she probably believed i could read it in my sleep.

incident #2 (this is more about esther actually)
after i woke up, i was hungry.
and angelina said she'll go eat with me.
tht's like the third time she went to get food since she came.
in other words, in a short 2 to 3 hours, she went to eat thrice.
so we went to buy mixed rice.
esther was happily pointing to everything that she sees and asking "uncle, zhe ge shi she me lai de?"
and the uncle was very nice and happily told her everything.
until they came to this dish, and she said "thn zhe ge leh?"
"zhu rou"
and esther went "HUH ZHU ROU?????"
nobody knows why she reacted tht way though.
then later, she felt so uneasy eating because she was eating pork in front of the muslim food stall.

incident #3 (still about esther)
i asked, you think nigel will really come?
(we met nigel before leaving macs, he was sitting alone, eating mcspicy. this shows that our church pple can be alone but not lonely (: )
and esther said "no la."
"why?"
"he can't even eat pork."
and we all went huh????

1. nigel CAN eat pork.
2. she was sitting right in front of the muslim stall (even if nigel really cant eat pork)
and at that moment, nigel appeared.

incident #4
peishan was sitting down
thn she said "eh why so itchy?"
(oh interruption: angelina just stood up, as i'm typing this, to say "(giggling) Ruoen, do you know where peishan is? hahaha..." and walked over to peishan after i read out the first paragraph of the entry to her. okay back to incident #4)

so peishan looked on the floor and told cheryl, "aye cheryl, got cockroach leh."
BUT CHERYL DIDN'T BELIEVE HER.
how?
i looked down and didn't see anything and i thought peishan was bluffing.
BUT THEN I SAW IT!
it was hiding behind the leg of the chair!
"eh cheryl, really have leh"
"REALLY? WHERE?"
and then i said very loudly, "EH HOW COME MACDONALDS GOT COCKROACH AR?"
(imagine james bond music playing now)
THE COCKROACH RAN OUT!

okay, here's the funny part.
everybody went where? where?? where???
and when we turned around, we saw a VERY AMUSING sight.

angelina was standing on the chair!

she claimed tht she screamed but no one heard her.
no its not because she was screaming very softly, it was because we were laughing very loudly (:
and she just stayed there, refused to come down.

poor dawei was disturbed from studying.
and he came over to help catch it, only to realise that evil jiaxin had already taken the life of the cockroach with her black slippers.

"tissue tissue?"
and someone fished out a HUGE WAD of it from a pink bag.
i wonder whose.
i think it's jiaxin's.
and now, jiaxin bent down and, with a tissue, picked up the dead brown thing.

AND ANGELINA SCREAMED EVEN LOUDER.

the brown thing looks disgusting.
had some white stuff oozing out of it.

man i should have taken a picture of her on the chair.
its so amusing.
btw, i have her permission to blog about this.

incident #5
i unplugged everything from my laptop passed the laptop to cheryl.
but the earphones were still attached to my ears.
then i went back to study.
after some time, i looked up for awhile and saw angelina looking at me.
so i looked at her.
and she said something.
but i just continued staring at her.
then she said "haha i don't think you can hear me right!"
thn i took up the other end of the earphones and hahahahahhahahahahahhahaha.

and last but not least, angelina insists that i include this:
kianleng just killed a housefly.
dont ask me how, i didnt witness it.

okay and now we're all going back to mug.
4 more papers to go!
and yeah, gp wasnt too bad (:

FACEBOOK FEVER, promos purgatory

2007-09-28T02:24:00.000+08:00

wahaha. everyone's on facebook now!
as if friendster wasnt dead enough before this.
all shld jut ditch friendster and msn for skype and facebook (:

exams are next week and i'm still working my head off for it.
except i can't really do it without my head since all my brains are in there.
i need chem help.
i think i can at least pass maths.
i'm praying hard for gp and lit. they are the pass very well or fail very badly subjects.
i'm throwing econs into the bin.

so, that's the end of my break.
it's 2.43am now so i better start mugging.

hi red bull, byebye sleep.
(cinderella, no more sleeping beauty! *winks*)

Singpost, our new home (:

2007-08-12T21:47:00.000+08:00

i really really really love singpost!
i love every single part of the entire church, from the entrance, to the reception, to the studio, to the OPS room, to the multi-purpose room, to the CCH and cry room, to the cafe, to the audi, to the artiste room, to the guest room to the office, to the toilets, to the al frescos, TO THE HOSPI AREA!
this place really feels like home.
i love this place so much im really not missing FTMS house.
and i think this place really feels like home because i played a part in cleaning and packing the place.
i'm sure those who cleaned and packed the place feels so too!

ytd's service was a great great blast!
when i looked at the live feed, i thought i was seeing a video of another church!
BUT NO!
THIS IS MY LOVELY CHURCH!

God is really amazing to have brought us to this awesome place!
though it takes me longer to travel to this new place, i really really dont mind!
in fact, every time i'm there, i wish i never have to go home!

but thn agn, while the church may look good, we will be nothing but just a gathering venue, a community centre if God's presence was not here with us.
but God was really faithful and He followed us to singpost too!
the praise and worship was so great because God was here.
the videos were great because Godwas here.
the Word was powerful because God was here.

thank You Jesus for the great great home!
thank You Jesus for Your presence (:

be Mary, not Martha (:

bye bye FTMS, hello SINGPOST (:

2007-08-01T00:53:00.000+08:00

last weekend's service rocked!
i think we really rocked the whole place down and the fact that Pastor Sy was here with us just made FTMS house rocked harder.
the walls almost fell down on its own, we didn't even need hammers (:

at that point in time, we just started to look back.
and i thought about how God has really blessed me and change my life.
the countless discipleships that never failed to bring me higher.
the numerous times i've cried under God's strong presence, at home, in church, in youth camp, at Emerge, on the worship team, etc.
the great times spent with wonderful Pastors, exciting leaders and loving church-mates.
boy i didn't know so many things can happen just within a short span of 2 and a half years.

after looking back at those things that happened, who can say that God is not real?

"look back to help you move forward"

God, You're so good to me (:
i love You so so so so much!

but last weekend did not just end there!
it just got more exciting as we packed the entire place and moved them to Singpost in the last two days.
i'm not revealing anything about Singpost.
it's really exciting, you got to see it for yourself.
DON'T MISS THE OPENING SERVICE MAN.
in fact, don't even be late!

all the cleaning, packing, moving and unpacking and packing just really make Singpost feel so much like my home.
that and building fund of course!
that place feels so homey and i just really love singpost!
it's probably how married couples feel when they move into a new house.
then again, i wouldnt know but I LOVE SINGPOST (:

can't wait for hospi room to be ready so i can go pack again!

sick ):

2007-07-19T18:14:00.000+08:00

Sian. Falling sick is no fun.
Feels like i'm running a fever but actually i'm not.
And my throat feels like sandpaper.
EEEK.

but that doesnt stop me from mugging.
10 hours study rule, no kick!
like now, im sposd to be doing my research for my EoM but then everytime i open up the book, i feel sleepy...
i'll go home soon, take a nap and continue i guess.
haha!

okay, time to study.
you too (:

i believe i can fly (a kite)

2007-07-02T23:07:00.000+08:00

and i did! (:

c2347 went to east coast park today and we had a great time, eating spaghetti, flying kite and having styrofoam war.

im proud to say tht my kite could fly so high you can hardly see the kite.

spot the kite!!!! (:
i'll upload more photos on the CG blog when i have the time!

and im also happy tht im tanner without realising im getting a tan.
i love transformers, its a great show. i love steven spielberg.

okay, better go prepare for school.
have fun spotting my kite and happy youth day (:

its OVER :D

2007-06-29T10:03:00.001+08:00

MATHEMATICAL INDUCTION

2007-06-27T11:38:00.000+08:00

M.I. and APGP are the only two kinds of questions i can be confident of tdy.
i spent so much time studying MI today tht MI was the only question i could do.
never mind, i'm going to work hard for chem paper tmr, thn lit on friday.

happy studying to me!

i turn THREEE (:

2007-06-26T19:58:00.001+08:00

TODAY IS A SPECIAL DAY.
not just because its 26 Jun 07.
it is special because 26 280 hours ago (tht is 3 years actually),
RUOEN CAME TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST !! <3<3<3
happy birthday to me, happy birthdayto me!

it's been 3 years, and God is still like He was 3 years ago, ever so great and wonderful.
Like how He's there for me during my econs paper ytd. Actually i didn't really study elasticity but somehow i could rmb the stuff that were taught during lectures and by the looks of the words Cross Elasticity of Demand and Price Elasticity of Demand and some basic understanding of elasticity (thks to Dex and Nic), I COULD ACTUALLY WRITE A COMPLETE ESSAY (and when i checked my points later, they are right factually!)
it pays to pay attention during lectures (:
so stop falling asleep people, it's just 2nd day of term 3.

HAHAHA.
anyway, of course there were more incidents to show how great is God to me.
come and ask me more.
i'm more than willing to share (:
happy 3rd birthday to me!

im currently at khatib macs, studying with jiaxin and gwen(who left 15 mins ago), BUT im taking a break now. took econs, gp, taking maths, chem and lit. i have done a lot of math induction today. let me prove to you tht i can do M.I. Question: Prove, by maths induction:
FACT #268 = RUOEN SO SMART.

Step 1
Let the statement be FACT #268 = RUOEN SO SMART,
n = the number of seconds in this year, starting from the first second)

Step 2
Prove that statement is true for n=1
When n = 1, Ruoen was worshipping God at Parkview Square with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
Therefore, statement is true for n=1.

Step 3
Assume that statement is true for some value n=k, i.e.
Ruoen is smart when she is able to do Mathematical Induction Question 6 (of Mathematics GCE A Level - H2 TYS, topic 14)

Step 4
To prove statement is true for n = k+1, i.e. to prove
Ruoen is still smart after doing Mathematic Induction Question 6.

LHS: Ruoen can do Question 6 + she solved Gwen's question
= and then she solved Question 3 (of Mathematics GCE A Level -H2 TYS, topic 14)
= RHS

Step 5
If statement is true for n=k, it is also true for n= k+1.
Since statement is also true for n=1, by Mathematical Induction, statement is true for all n.

See, i told you i just proved to you that i can prove that Fact #268 = RUOEN SO SMART is true.

okay, i'm going back to study.
God bless all who are having exams, and those who have yet to complete their holiday homework.

(:

alrdy, i'm loving our new home @ singpost.
its big and its beautiful, even before renovation. and i really wonder wht will happen after.
keyboard sounds yummily great at singpost too!

2006-11-28T12:31:00.000+08:00

hahaha.
I'M BACK!
okay so it may be more than 15 days.
its better to be late than to be never back.
hahahhahah.

some day i'll change this blogskin (sorry alton).

i'm super packed with things to do.
feels even more busy than the last week of O'levels.
honestly, during the last week of O'levels, i still had time to watch tv k!
now, i hardly have time to find food for myself.
BECAUSE THE HOLIDAY IS PACKED WITH SO MANY EXCITING EVENTS!

it may get tiring but its a good time to stretch, get up to another level.
work and work and work.
sounds mundane?
not at all man.
im enjoying every single second of it.

xiaoming's owner ; xiaoming cant talk.
xin ; dim sum dim sum!!!!
wu ; you cheat one. whole day have secret training. CHEAT.
De ja Vu ; okay i wont tell anyone. but if they come here and so happen to accidently see your tag not my problem. my blog quite popular one k. (HAHAHHAHA)
KL ; maybe you shld start having secret trainings like charmaine wu. cheat. BUT I'LL STILL WIN. haha. nxt yr thn talk la huh.

dead or alive

2006-11-02T23:17:00.000+08:00

this place looks dead.
BUT NO LONGER!
because this is a new post.
but it'll probably stay like this for another 15 days.
YES 15 DAYS.
thn i'll be freeeeeeee~!

if i had wings i would fly,
all that i need, you are.
if the world caved in around me,
to You i'd still hold on.
cos You're the One that i believe,
You're the one that created me,
Jesus, because of You,

I'M FREE.

the light wins

2006-10-03T00:29:00.000+08:00

some lit girl wrote this in her essay and it was shown to everyone in the cohort who takes lit.
"Raise the level of horror by creating a dark atmosphere where one is even more vulnerable and helpless."
i think its pretty obvious.
people do feel vulnerable and helpless in the dark.
when in the dark, they fear.
however, they fear not of darkness.
i mean its just pitch black darkness. why fear?
people fear not the darkness but the unknown.

BUT I KNOW HOW NOT TO FEAR.

BRING IN LIGHT!

simple as that.
light drives away darkness but darkness can never drive away light.
light is sure to win and light can remove all our fears.
im a lightbulb and i found my Power.
and now i shine.
all my fears driven away because there's no more darkness!
and thts the happiest thing that can ever happen to me.

but tht is just the beginning.
im not only going to light up my own room and be happy in it myself.
but im going to light up my whole house, remove all fears in the family.
im going to light up my school, remove all fears in my friends.
now that i've found the light, im going to go back to all the dark places and put that light to good use.
im going to reattach all the lost lightbulbs back to their Power Source and let them shine in all their different ways.

and the connection will be so good, quality of the wire and filament so powerful the bulb is everlasting.
no amount of short circuit or blown fuse can blow the circuit.
no obstacle will stop the current from flowing from the positive to the negative end.
and the voltage will be so high, the bulb will be so bright.
devil, you can try harder but youre simply going to be blinded by my beautiful light.
haven't you heard about my BIG BIG God?
hahahahaha.

PRELIMS

2006-09-26T23:39:00.000+08:00

IT IS FINISHED.

im in a holiday mood

2006-09-22T00:35:00.000+08:00

there's physics practical tomorrow.
and one more emath paper one nxt tues.
IVE SURVIVED IT.
haha.
somehow, it feels like prelims is alrdy over.
just tdy itself, so many went out to celebrate, movies and such.
i came home after dental appointment, wanted to catch some sleep but ended up watching my sassy samsoon with my sis.
is tht the show name?
uhhh. nvm.

i got my retainers tdy.
they are so uncomfortable i'll rather have my braces back.
and braces look better too, i think.
and yes, I HAVE TAKEN MY BRACES OUT.
hahah.
gwen helped me count how many true friends i have; those who noticed the missing pieces of metal from my teeth.
in the end i think we concluded that i have 5 true friends and about 4 half-true friends i think.
okay, this is not a very nice way to judge how many friends i have because i knw i have loads out there.
right, funkaye buddy?

oh did i mention the box tht came with the retainers is HOT PINK?
i did dr chew did it on purpose.
HA.

and regarding OH- and Cl-, everybody's been giving me convincing theories.
for BOTH OH- and Cl-.
i must get mrs hoo to explain man.
thn i'll confuse her just like how i confused many others.
its a fun way to learn and you'll nvr fall asleep.

im a really happy girl.
really really happy.
i managed to smile the first thing in the morning on monday morning.
even though i had a paper to take tht morning.
I SMILED!

guys, if you ever feel tired, exhausted, stressed, frustrated, depressed (like maybe by prelims?),
TALK TO GOD.
one day i was just worshipping God.
last thursday if im not wrong.
was having such a great time until suddenly the door of the house flew open.
nahh. dont think seventh month because its way over.
i thought i could be the wind because it just started to rain.
it scared me a lot at first because i rmb very clearly tht i closed the door when i returned home for i would nvr half-close tht door.
the sight of a half-closed door irritates me. (HAHA)
though i was half-convinced it was just the wind, part of me told me it couldnt be.
i finally came to the conclusion that it could be God.
well..it was not impossible.
i was worshipping God and maybe at tht moment God decided to come in so He opened the door and came in?
well, one thing for sure was tht after the worship session, i felt so light-hearted even until today.
a big contrast from what i felt just 30 minutes before the door opened.

so i think...
IT MUST BE GOD!

whether or not it was God,
it's really up to you to believe.
but trust me, He's the best comfort you can find anywhere.

:)

and just a few days back, yx and i were talking to each other online.
he asked me why was i a Christian.
and we started sharing with each other about how we came to know God.
then we began to think also, what would we be tdy if i have not come to know God.

i'll be watching my sassy samsoon, other korean drama serials, HK drama serials, japanese anime every single day, even late into the nights.

i would be towning every single day with no purpose, no aim. just walk around, trying hard to act pretty and cool.

i would probably be catching every single movie there is in the cinemas because i have nothing better to do.

yx said i'll probably go ard and suck up to the popular girls in school.

we both agreed tht i might even end up in some BGR and seek love from there.

i would be walking back from school to home (amk to yishun) simply because i had nothing better to do.

i would be hanging out in school just for the fun of it (actually, whts so fun abt hanging out in sch...)

i would still always look dao. (HA)

MOST IMPTLY,
i wont be a happy girl.
even if i was, i would most probably be fake, with loads of hidden unhappiness deep inside me.
i wouldnt have found great pple, great buddies.
i would have no purpose in life.
i wouldnt be who i am today.

IM GLAD AND I THANK GOD THAT I FOUND GOD!
(:

gab & jiaxin ; hahah. actually, alton put the everybody shld be a ruoen thing. and im not allowed to edit it, i think. hahah. lets just wait till ive got more time..
adelyn ; HAHA! no la, where got so good..how's yours so far?? miss you guys alot man.
anonymous ; uhh. haha thks.
liwen ; boy was i surprised to see your tags!
ru ; i believe you were sposd to study biology as in transportation in mammals and plants and things like tht, not how the word came about.. good background knowledge though. im sure you can impress the examiner if you write tht somewhere on your answer script. thn agn, bio paper is over.. try cambridge.

PRELIMS

2006-09-12T22:40:00.000+08:00

ohyes.
i am in the midst of my prelims but im taking my break now.
haha.
im really proud of myself today because i studied from 11 to 7, stopping only to eat, to go toilet and to play with royston's phone (which was really, only awhile)

question of the day:
if you were to eletrolyse dilute Sodium Chloride with inert electrodes, what anions will be discharged?

this question was debated by many this afternoon and i came to the conclusion that:
i believe its OH- and not Cl-.
however im still doubtful.
the tchrs dno wht they're teaching.
the chemistry book (Chemistry Matters) which mrs mok from hwachong claimed was so good is contradicting itself.

anyway, im just going to put OH- i think.
i'll argue if i dont get the mark.
argue until my jaw drop.
hahahahahaha.
okay.
i've got macromolecules, carboxylic acid and alcohol to go.

history was disgusting but im going to mug hard for lit.

okay.
5 papers down, 10 more to go...

SCHOOLS

2006-09-04T11:42:00.000+08:00

Pastor Joakim Lundqvist rocks!
and i'm proud to say that i did not miss a single session of his wonderful messages!
the testimonies he shared opened up my mind and made me think that i can nvr do enough to bring His love to the people.
all the radical youths in Sweden are amazing people.
just a handful of them, raising up s$25 000 (in just 2 weeks) just to buy copies of new testaments for everyone in the school.
and more than just that, just tht handful of them, wrapped all 6000+ new testaments with 6000+ handwritten notes, all personally addressed to all in their school.
now that's something.
how radical and wonderfully amazing.

c'mon people, lets not be stuck to the small things.
we've a BIG BIG God.
He's given us this vision for 2006 for a reason.
let's live up to that vision before 06 comes to an end.
how sad would it be that at heart awards 06, standing in cozycot, and you realise that you have not done anything radically BIG enough for God.
let's not hold back any longer.

let's conquer the O's and the schools together.
eeloo, sihui, huiqing, shanshan, gwen, zhuo'er jomain, emily,
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER!
love you guys.

joanna ; haha. YES YES! cant wait! meanwhile, blessings for your exams! do well! keep loving Christ (:
shuyi ; HEY! yay thks! do leave your link nxt time you come by yea?
adelyn ; hahaa. you are so funny. i laugh like mad everytime you say something to Green. glad tht you loved the posts! yepp, and God bless you for your exams as well! (:
charmaine ; uh. HAHAHaHHAhaHAHAHA. wu.
retard ; ha. poetic genes from you? well well. i'll think about tht. HAHA! ROCK ON RETARD!

i wna be a disciple (:

2006-08-29T02:44:00.000+08:00

last weekend's sermon was way powerful.
way way way powerful.
to the point that that night after service, i had two long discipleship sessions with my sheep.
its so rewarding to see them so serious for God, to receive God's words immediately, to be so open to discipleship.
i'm so blown away by them.
(if shan shan sees this, her ego is probably gna grow bigger but i dont care. she rocks.)

people, living your life behind a mask is nvr going to get you anywhere.
be transparent and open.
true friends are those who tell you about your flaws, not those who know abt them but leave you be.
and im happy to say that i have many many many true friends, leaders and Pastors who really love me, and that's why they correct me over the last two years so that i become who i am today.
pls dont stop correcting me!

you knw wht?
i was really touched by how God uses all of us to take the Arts back for His glory.
did you see tht SRJC school feature?
"there's space for more."
i loved that slide man.
and the singapore in clay video really blew me away.
although it wasnt a video really dedicated to God, it still shows that God can really use young people, and we are the special generation!
i mean check out all the funky stuff they did for Pastor How's birthday celebration.
BANG and ruoen's completely blown away.

such a great honour to be able to serve God..

hey cert, where are you.

2006-08-25T01:24:00.000+08:00

mrs fung came into class last week and asked us to bring our "outside-school certificates" so that she could help us make our "portfolio" (or something like that) more colourful.
at that moment, the first thing i thought of was my piano cert.
so i was looking for my cert, which was usually filed in a huge blue file, along with all the other certificates awarded to the rest of my family members.
i managed to find some swimming certs and some DISTINCTION (ahem ahem) UNSW and australian maths competition cert.

BUT WHERE DID MY PIANO CERT GO?

goodness. i have no idea.
well at least i have my grade 3 piano and theory certs.
that's usually the minumum criteria for almost anything.
and to think about it, it's seriously there to make the portfolio thicker if it is hard copy, more wordy if it's soft.
it's not like i'm going to be a piano teacher next time.
the closest thing would be the keyboard.
and when do i play keyboard?
to worship my Daddy King!

the Bible says that whatever i play, be in wrong chord, wrong inversion, wrong progression, as long as i dedicate it to God, He thinks its beautiful.
isnt that all that really matters?
well, of course i believe my skills arent that bad.
but God does not look at qualifications or certificates.
GOD LOOKS AT THE HEART.

so i dont think im going to bother looking for that piece of paper anymore.
i'll just give her the grade 3 one.

i play to the audience of ONE.
the One who blessed me with great family, great relationships.
i love my Papa! :)

hello nocturnal animals

2006-08-22T00:49:00.000+08:00

its 1245am and im still awake.
im surprised cos i only slept 3 hours ytd.
im all geared up to mug for lit tmr.

well i just took a break from mugging and went around looking at various blogs.
thn i realised.
BOY MY BLOG IS STAGNANT.
i was about to say "ohno, mosquitoes come and reproduce how?"
thn i thought it sounded familiar.
HA. i think i could have used tht before.

o levels are coming.
prelims starts next week.
ee loo asked me a trigo question just now
and im made to feel stupid.

i didnt meant for it to come out sounding like a poem.
but well, it just did.
maybe i can be the next ted hughes
and make future students get lit blues.

okay.
o levels eng oral was over and i think its a good start.
makes me feel more confident for the rest of my papers.
not forgetting wht yong xun said, o'levels have to made easier for the less trained people.
so it should be easier than prelims.
now i feel even better, more confident of having more options in Feb 07.

seriously, all the tests and mocks turned me numb already.
i can hardly remember which test is next.
i only know there's no test this friday.

well, im looking forward to 17th nov.
thn i'll be free from the evil thing called o's.
naahh.
o'levels is for you to prove how good you are.
but still, i'll be freed.
cant wait till thn.

like a spring pressed down,
waiting to go wild.

well before tht, i better go back to henry or i'll fail my mock tmr and thn tian will mock me.
have fun mugging.
we're all turning nocturnal.

be happy!
be blessed!

(:

I'M BACK FROM BINTAN (:

2006-08-06T02:53:00.000+08:00

yay i am back!
hahaha.
bintan was good and surprisingly not as tiring as i thought it would be.
as promised, we had good rests every night!
DESPITE THE FACT THAT our room was so run down.
thn again, everything's run down there.
their kayak paddles like anytime can fall apart one, their lifejacks have no buckle so you have to fasten it with a small piece of rafia.
never mind, it was fun!
haha.

group 9 rocks like mad.
because got me inside.
hahaha.

for the first time in my life, I CLIMBED A MOUNTAIN!
no joke, a MOUNTAIN, not hill.
i told my dad that when i came home and he went, "really ah! how high?"
thn i realised.
whoa sian, i dont knw how high it was.
ha. shall find out from misslim.

getting to bintan was not fun.
i suffered from motion sickness..
EVEN BEFORE THE FERRY STARTED MOVING.
but coming back wasnt as back.
nahhh.
i still think its the singapore waters.
its really choppy here.
indonesian sea is like so calm.
its like we were having dinner by the seaside and someone actually asked "is that the sea? where is the sea?" because we could hear absolutely no waves.
to think thts where tsunami happened.

oh i just really want to say tht their packet food ROCKS.
its like the best camp food you can ever have.
just that they shld have ordered like a few extra packets for big eaters like me.
HAHA.
even if i dont eat, im sure the instructors would be glad to take the extras.
haha.
they were so jealous of our rooms.
anyway, the packet food is like even better than the bbq/catered dinner we got by the seaside!
but the bbq/catered dinner had nice SOTONGS.

group 9 rocks like mad.
because got me inside.
hahaha.

DEJA VU?
hahahaha.
no but really, i think my group rocks.
we were the fastest dragon boat (and mr law still owes us a coke).
we were first for spongebob squeezypants. (okay, we cheated but we were so good at cheating only chicky and isabel knew we were cheating. cant blame us k. we only had ONE sponge. the rest had like 3 each.)

i went shopping!
i went shopping!
ah but i think i overspent.
(didnt convert properly and thought i was very rich but actually i wasnt.)
but i love the clothes i bought.
YAY.

green ; hey so sorry for really late reply there. anyway, i seriously think you shld talk to weijie/roy about it. i cant really help you there. and i really do like green but only as a colour. ha.
maril ; hello! hahaha. i like your new funkay hairdo man.
weijie ; its okay.. dont be sad.. God still loves you.
adelyn ; HEY! hahah. i believe "Stryqwr" is some kind of game character. actually i dont knw. nevermind. HAHA.
sonia ; okay la okay la. stop saying tht i said tht you nvr tag me la. I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SONIA TAGGED ME. happy?

ITALY WONN!!

2006-07-10T20:10:00.000+08:00

whoooops.
so sorry guys, but it's ITALY!
YAY.
hhahahaha.

by the way have you got any idea just how dirty that cup is?
eeeeeyuck.
to think it has been treated in this way for the past 737898 years.
by 90863 different teams.
yuck.
i dont think i want to touch tht cup.

i finally ended my track life tdy.
well, at least 3k ended.
i think i may start liking track from tdy onwards.
bcos track would not mean running anymore.
hahahaha.

my junior

2006-04-27T00:02:00.000+08:00

today, i am going to blog about...
MY JUNIOR.

my junior is so cute.
i wanted to blog about her on monday actually.
but blogger died on me.
so i decided to blog about her tdy, the day i found out her name!

my junior's name is jennifer.
she is sooo adorable.
she was walking behind me tht day,
talking to her friends abt ruoen the funkay!

okay.
i realise im not a really good poet.
the only sensible thing im capable of so far is
"five little ruoens jumping on the screen,
on was blue and one was green.
all of them wore a silly little grin,
so huge that you cant see her chin!"
- written during a certain physics lesson, with the help of my ex-sitting-partner.

AIYAA. back to my junior.
she said "i think she's very pretty."
at tht point i thought they were talking about some girl they saw some where but my ego still made me turn around and say "thank you" even though i didnt knw any one of them.
and surprisingly, she wasnt stunned.
BUT I WAS.
she continued to say "i think short hair girls are very pretty. and her hair just fits her face. i really think she's very pretty."
thn, EHHHHH! THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ME MAN.
it was confirmed when i turn around again and say thank you.
thn again when michelle and bong didnt believe someone said i was pretty so we confronted the little junior at the water cooler.
"i just think short hair girls are pretty. BUT I'M NOT LES!" -runs away-

sooooo cute right!
i think jennifer is really cute.
not just because she said i was pretty.
but she's really cute!

absence of God

2006-04-24T21:16:00.000+08:00

i chanced upon fedora's blog and this was wht i saw:
The university professor challenged his students with this question: "Did God create everything that exists?"

A student bravely replied "Yes, he did!"

"God created everything?" the professor asked.

"Yes sir," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil." The professor was quite pleased with him self and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a questionprofessor?"

"Of course," replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor , does cold exist?"

The professor replied "Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"

The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to thelaws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body, or matter, have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.

The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light, we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it doesnot exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young man's name --- Albert Einstein

God does exist.
i felt Him.
and He is the reason why i exist for the last sixteen years and why i still exist right now.
i have an amazing God, a God of miracles.

a little cute junior told me im pretty tdy!
im going to find out whts her name on wednesday!

lei ; its okay. i think its normal.
huiying ; yay you rock too!
kel ; ohnoooooo.
eugene; jiu shi zhe yang le! (:
