Holidays had started again. 7 weeks of no-school. I have to find things to do to kill time.
Maybe I should get a job...

NDP '08 tea appreciation party last Saturday was great. 6 performance, food and photos! I hope to see them around soon.

Yesterday we had night cycling recce. For some of us, this was our second recce already. Somehow I felt this the recce was much harder than the first. But in any case, all of us pulled through and manged to see sunrise. It's been long since I last saw one.



We sat at MacDonald's to have breakfast and to pass time until 9am before we can return our bikes. Eventually most of us doze off.
Headed home for a good long sleep, I slept from like 10.30am to 7pm!

I think I'm falling sick soon. I don't feel well this morning. I got to start doing an article for my sermon. Looking forward to Primer's advance this coming Saturday.

Last few hours to the end of examinations! I should be studying now but I can't focus! Wish me all the best because my paper later sure cui...

That's all people! Byes! Back to mugging...

「 invaded it on 8:44 AM 」

Today is officially the last day to mug for examinations. Because tomorrow is my last paper! *beams*
I should be happy now but instead I am having the opposite feeling.
Finally the long awaited holidays have arrived! I don't know if I should be working, I will just let nature take its course.

I guess today was a pretty bad day for me. Math paper was a killer, but in the sense that I was careless and not because it was hard. Same usual me, always making stupid mistakes in math papers. There goes my 'A' for math and again it means gpa drops.
Questions about education just flooded my mind during my long bus ride home. Sometimes I don't even know who or what I am studying for. Is it myself? or is it just to please others? I guess I will know where I stand after this semester results. Hopefully I won't do that bad. At least let me maintain my current grades.

Time to mug for my last paper. Cya!

Saturdays are so different now without NDP trainings. No more going to the floating platform, no more holding area at SG Flyer's carpark, no more ... and the list just goes on.

Went for Kok Rui's 21st birthday party. Location is opposite pasir ris park, one of the bungalow chalets. It was super super big and super super beautiful and super super cheap! Just look at the way I emphasise it! I won't mind to celebrate mine there every year.

And guess who I met there?~
Selina! I was so shocked to see her there! As the saying goes, " It's a small world after all! "
I do miss her and it was just great to see her! We did a little catching up before I got to say good bye. Really hope to see her again plus the rest of the Sentosa people!~

Mug for the examinations

Headed back to school yesterday to study with Pearlyn, Weiling, Yvonne & Tao Lian.
Yesterday here is refering to Monday, 11th August '08.

I manage to finish up 2 past year DEL papers. It was a horror as I found out I didn't know much!
KitYee came around 5pm to teach me DEL. She is my life saver! At least we figured out things and I know DEL a little better for now.
Thanks alot!!~ *smiles*

&& weiling drew these to cheer me up:

thanks weiling! (:

p.s. time to start mugging again.

「 invaded it on 12:35 AM 」

It had been a tiring day for many! NDP '08 has officially come to an end but I know the many friendships & bonds built will last on!

Honestly, I will miss everyone from Diamond A & the mentors!
I will miss the Tuesdays, the Saturdays, the suppers, the SAF ushers and the participants!
Although I always nag at them but in my heart, I do love & care for them and always putting them as the top priority.

But as we all know, everything has an ending and every ending is a new beginning! So this is a new beginning for all of us!

Time to focus on the upcoming examinations! I have 4 papers in total, 2 this week and 2 the following week. Hope I will be able to do well! Must start mugging!!~

School has officially come to an end for now. It is time for all poly students to prepare for the final examinations. Good Luck Everyone!

My only wish now is for exams to end asap!

I read this on Charlotte's blog and I find it very meaningful:

as children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
i brought my broken dreams to God
because he was my friend.
but instead of leaving Him in peace
to work alone,
i hung around and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
at last i snatched them back and cried,
"how can you be so slow?"
"my child," he said "what could i do?
you never let them go."

--author unknown.

"vulnerable and insecure. dont you think that's probably the reason many people cant let go? they are so afraid to let go of their fears, to let go and let God handle it. prying your little fingers off the thing that means most to you is so difficult sometimes isnt it? or is it because you've dumped it so far behind, it's difficult for you to reach? pushing the blame onto others can be the easiest thing to do, while letting go seems to be the toughest."

Finally I am back again to my blog.
Exams are just round the coners and I am back to my usual self, which is to do everything but study! Hope I will be able to do something about this.

Caught 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' today. It was not as bad as what people said. But this movie is definately not as good as the first two.

Pictures' time:

I shall not comment on the photos, so just enjoy them! *smiles*

I am feeling so down...

「 invaded it on 12:28 AM 」

I am finally reviving my beloved blog! Lols!
Sorry people, I was too lazy to blog for the past 1 month.
And now there are so so so many things to blog about which I think I won't type every single detail out!

1. Thanks to all my present, ex-classmates who celebrated my 18th birthday during lunchtime with me! The cake was really really wonderful and the presents too with the cards! I will treasure everything! *beams*

2. The following week after my birthday was common test. So it was study, study and more study! Other than those, what can you expect?! Haha! But as you know, the lazy daniel won't do that!

3. I missed church camp this year. I sort of regreted skipping it but am glad because I had the 4 days to rest and to plan for primers' Sentosa GetAway event. If I gone for the church camp, I think I will not have enough rest!

4. Last week of school holidays: It was spent meaningfully! The entire week was packed till I had no time to rest at all. The week started of with me watching 'the incredible hulk' on Monday night to recee of Sentosa (tuesday) to Bernice's chalet/overnight stay (wednesday) to escape theme park (thursday) to Sentosa GetAway (friday) to NDP training (saturday) to church (sunday). This is the summary of the full week I had!

I guess this is all for now. Until the next time, See ya!

ps. I dislike ndp trainings

A heavy load is off my shoulder now!

It is time to work hard for common test now!

Don't give up daniel!

Jiayou!

「 invaded it on 10:34 PM 」

I got a screwed up IS classmate!

I seriously don't know wad to do from now onwards. Should I just give up or just hang in there?
I cannot see the point of doing a class event when I only see a few people putting in their best efforts.

Forget it! Today is a lousy day for me.
Just let me have a break! I really need one now...

「 invaded it on 10:55 PM 」

Tired! Stress!
No other words to describe my mood for now...

IS event mgt is taking up quite a lot of my time. But that is what I chosen so I will not complain!
Keep going Daniel! Keep on going!

Primers got upcoming events too. I got to plan for the night cycling in the month of June. Planning should start soon. I NEED 48 HOURS A DAY! Time always run so fast!

I am joining NDP this year as a mentor. Great opportunity for me to learn more about leadership!

Lastly, I am lagging behind my modules/classes. It is time to buck up! Someone please come and rescue me!

Why am I fighting my feelings? Why am I walking back into a trap? I dont know what I want. I really don't...

Anyways, on a lighter note, Happy Birthday Nicolette Peck! My dearest sitting partner for year 2006! Wishing you all the best in life and studies! *beams*

「 invaded it on 12:28 AM 」

This is already the third week of school and I should start focusing! I always say I want to work hard and score well but in the end it is all talk but no actions! Can someone please encourage me to work hard?!~

#1. 21st April ' 08 was Jaslyn birthday. I bought a birthday cake for her! I treat that as a present! (:

#2. Tuesday was great because it was my class second outing after quite a while. Learning to live life to it's fullest! I went to catch the forbidden kingdom. It was a good show to me! (:

#3. Wednesday I got no school. Went to museum to plan our event. I didn't expect it to turn out so well!
Tracks was great too! We did a try out for 3 events and I still can do high jump without flips! (:

#4. Thursday got briefing for POC (Primer's Orientation Camp). The briefing ended about 9.45pm. It was a long briefing! Was very shag that day! ):

#5. Friday was great! I was looking forward to POC! Headed down to campsite at around 4pm with Pearlyn, Marcus and Bryan. Had to help out with setting up the campsite. And while preparing, I stepped into a drain and injured my right foot. It was so painful on that day. Poor me, before camp started I already am injured! Pearlyn was the leader of Nihtat and I am the assistant. I tried to endure the pain and carry out the leadership roles! Pearlyn was great! She helped me throughout the camp plus doing all she could for Nihtat! To me she was the best leader that Nihtat could have! *beams*! It was really fun and a good experience to work with her. And I got to know her a little better through this camp! See, this is what I call making new friends. I shall update pictures when I get them! Lazy to go into the details of the camp...

「 invaded it on 10:35 PM 」

I am having backache! Pain all over my back...
Pain, pain and more pain!
Sigh...

「 invaded it on 9:33 PM 」

It is already third day of school...
And today is the best day so far!

Let me start with my lecturers:
I feel that this semester math lecturer is good but just that she is teaching in a old-fashioned style and is way way way too strict!

IN3 lecturer is weird due to this sentence of his, "If the rest of the lecturers pass you, I'll pass you too. But if the rest of them decides to fail you, I'll fail you too!"

AOOP lecturer has got a soft voice for a guy. I think he got some throat problem. Hopefully he will be able to teach the class well.

I got no comments for VCN lecturer.

&& last but not least, IS lecturer is the BEST!


This semester for my IS, I am taking I&E event management. Which means, planning an event and asking people to participate in it. And luckily for me, my lecturer has already got an event plan for us. It is something like amazing race but just that the tasks are for teams to prevent a crime. This project is for about 400 secondary students, which means super large scale! And the event date is on 21st May, which leaves us about 1 month exactly to complete planning it.

I shall update more details as and when along the way through this project! *smiles*
Wish me luck too!

My last week of holidays just flew passed! I still cannot accept the fact that my almost 3 month's holidays is going to end at the stroke of 12 midnight!
School is starting for all polytechnic students. Somehow the feelings are different from last year's. I got the i-want-to-go-school-but-also-don't-want-to-go-school feelings right now...I shall pray about this tonight.

My mind is in a total blank state now. I don't know what to do. If I am going to a secondary school tomorrow, I will be packing for school, ironing my school uniform and preparing for bed. But life is so different in poly, I won't need to do all that. So, this left me with nothing to do other than to prepare to go sleep. I hope tomorrow will be a good day. I really hope so...

Amy and the rest of the Malaysians headed back today, this afternoon. I won't be able to see them until maybe the june camp. Hopefully all of them attends! Especially someone! Then we can have a photo together! *smiles*
Fellowship on Saturday was great! With the Malaysians around and God's blessings, everything went well!~

I think I shall end off here! I got nothing in mind to blog about anymore. 30 minutes to bed time anyways. Good Nights in advance!

「 invaded it on 9:53 PM 」

Quite a number of things happened this week.
#1. On Tuesday, went out with Weijie, Kianhong, Deneng and Zekai. We ended up at Plaza Singapura watching 'The Leap Years'. I didn't know it was that good until I watched it!
'The Leap Years' is one of the best movie I watched so far! It is really good until I went to watch it twice in cinemas! For those of you who have not catch this movie, I will recommend VCDs or DVDs!

#2. On Wednesday, went out with Hweeying and Weimin! And guess what, we watched 'The Leap Years'! We tour-ed around Vivo, walking from level to level and end to end! Somehow it seems fun to be walking Vivo again!

#3. Thursday! I remembered it rain like dogs and cats, with thunder and flashes of lightning! Before it rain, I went harbour front to meet Cheryl to pass her my floorball stick. After I got home then it started raining like mad. And that got me stucked at home without dinner! I tried calling McDeliverly at around 6.30pm but was told to call back in 45minutes time. Reasons was due to bad weather. So, I ended up cooking something light to eat first before calling them back. Dinner came at about 8.45pm that night.

#4. Friday is/was a good start for the weekend! Firstly, it was Audrey's birthday! Happy 21st Birthday! I went to harbour front food court in the late morning to meet Joe. Actually it was noon time when I reached. He is giving me free Japanese lessons! Cool rights! Basically, I covered the whole 101 book in 3.5 hours when it is supposed to be a 20hours lesson! *applause*

At night, my family ate dinner at Ghim Mo. We ate seafood which includes my all time favourites, black pepper crab! After that, we ended up eating durians and then Ben & Jerry's ice-creams! I wonder how much weight will I gain from yesterday night! Lols! Before heading home, we went to watch 'The Mist' at my dajie's house.

#5. Saturday, which is today! I stayed at home and game-ed the whole day!

Today marks the end of March! Yet another month just flew passed. Ain't time passing a little too quickly?

Queen C.Wan left early this morning, at around 1am. Me, Nehemiah, Irvin plus our parents were at the airport. Spent the last few moments talking and after, watching her going off.

Come back soon Candice! (:
Beacuse all of us miss you!

「 invaded it on 10:16 AM 」

Well, I got to know Amy a little better from this morning chatting session. And I found out that she likes to praise herself! Haha! She is almost as nonsensical as me. It has been nice talking to her anyways! Brighten up my morning for me *smiles*!

I just reached home from school. Actually I had forgotten that I had to go for FOP (freshmen orientation program) training today. Well, it was kind of boring but nevertheless i learn something new.

&&

Last but not least, I have to blog about the outing we, Wangsa Maju team, had yesterday! We had a gathering at settler's cafe! It was my first time there too. We played 3 games only due to limited time. I introduced them a game called Phase 10 and Nehemiah went crazy over it! Singapore version of Taboo is really fun. We somehow used singlish to play it. And everyone was laughing their heads off.

「 invaded it on 4:34 PM 」

A 4 day trip to Wangsa Maju, Malaysia, was really refreshing! Guess I achieved another level of walking with God.
8 people were sent there from PPCOC, including me. And the best outcome from this trip is that we all learnt how to plant 'seeds' for God! I will upload pictures soon!

1 last thing before I end this post, I seriously dislike endings/breaking of camps/saying "goodbyes"!


[ Here's a outline of the 4 days. We arrived on Monday and stayed until Thursday. Things we did there were singing, scouting for potential LST students from KTAR and UTAR, listening to Mr.Brown podcast, UNO and Skip-Bo, combo games, ping pong, and finally preparing a devotion.

Some new words I learnt were "HuLaLa Spur", "Zhng" and "Doomp!". *wahaha*
God really did work in mysterious ways! HE made the trip there a success! ]

A Good Friend

In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.

In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.

In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.

In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.

In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nick or Smelly Susan.

In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.

In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.

In seventh grade your idea of a friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework from the night before that you had.

In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.

In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.

In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.

In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.

In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get into that college/university, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go.

At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.

The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything, helped you pack up for university and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to give you reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.

Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you thebetter of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!

5 beautiful months

Dated from 18th August '07 - 18th January '08...
I guess this will be the most memorable 5 months in my life.
I made friends who will stand by me,
Friends who will be there to cheer me up,
Friends who will make my day,
Friends who will hear me out...

Everything has an ending,
Every party must come to an end,
And today marks the end of it.
But for every ending, it is also a new beginning of another.

It has been a great experience working!
I will miss those days when we all had so much fun!
I will miss EACH and EVERYONE of YOU dearly!
Let's remember to meet up often okies!
Let us treasure our friendships!

All the best to sie and sel !
That's all for tonight.

Friends

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

To all my friends out there: Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Random

Exactly one week passed!
This is already the second week of the new year...
Times really flies. Just two more weeks to revision week and thereafter final semester exams!
Don't give up to all out there who are studying for papers! Your efforts will pay off when you get your results back! ~Jiayou~

I got a random sms today from a friend! And it made my day!
Why I said the sms was random because the friend hardly sms me!
The random message: "always be happy, always wear a smile. not bcos life is full of reasons t smile, but bcos your smile itself is a reason for many others t smile..take care (: "

Thank you for the sms! Though I may find it random but it really did made my day (:

I am being "forced" to blog by someone!

Everything went as per normal. Nothing seems special in year 2008, so far nothing...
Will this be a fast year? Will this year be a smooth and enjoyable year for all?
Who will know all these answers? I guess only when end of 2008 comes then we will find out.

Am I growing into a stronger person as each day passes by or just becoming weaker and weaker? Am I living each day as a happy person or just counting down as the day passes?
So many questions are still running in my head...why am I thinking of all these?

Hopefully by the end of year 2008, when I do my reflections, I will be able to give all the positive answers!

I shall end this post here! Nights to the world out there!

Siloso Beach Party '07

A day has passed since the Beach Party.
Today is the reopen of school for me and for almost all students.

Time really flies fast, just a few winks of the eyes and it is 2008 already.
It is time to have new resolutions...

It is time to put behind the past and keep on moving towards the future...

It is time to leave behind childish ideas...

It is time to grow older...

It is time to focus on things I really want...

Time to say goodbye year 2007 and welcome year 2008.

A new year, a good start, a fresh beginning for many.

Let's not allow year 2007 to haunt us; Let's forget those bad moments.

Treasure only those good and happy moments, moments where we wished that time could be stopped or slowed down.

Time to stop procrastinating too! This will be one of my resolutions for 2008.

Did I have a good start for year 2008?

I do have answers for this question. I definitely enjoyed the time spent on 31st December '07 and 1st January '08! There isn't any grey area over this question.

But how come I didn't enjoy 2nd January '08?
Why is everyone so busy, doing projects when I have none to do?!

Sigh...

Countdown 2008 was fabulous! Totally enjoyable for me!

Youth Camp '07

My blog seems so dead as though it had not been touched for years...
I promised her I would update today, so here's my post (:

Finally youth camp had come to an end. I was so shag and tired for the past few days. Let's do a run-through of the camp!
I am the head of logistic this year, 3 more others were under me. The planning of youth camp this year was very hectic! It was super last minute! But all in all, everything went well and smooth. For this, I am very thankful to God *smiles*!

Wednesday was the first day of our camp, there were 77 campers in total. Out of these 77 people, 5 were from PJCOC Malaysia, 1 from Bedok and 1 from Bishan church of christ. Not all the campers came on the first day, a few of them arrived on either the second or third day. Campers were divided into 4 major groups, Maurise (my group), Aye Go, Salty and Transformers of Christ. We had a devotion and lesson on the first night. The night ended late due to overrun of the lesson.

I woke up at around 4.30am on the second day which is a Thursday. I was suppose to plant luminous light sticks along the prayer road path but in the end I went back to sleep. Woke up at 5.45am again and set off my location. This year I didn't get a chance to do prayer walk because I had to ensure the safety of the rest of the campers. Prayer walk was a success! At around 8am, everyone headed back for breakfast!
The rest of the events are as follows, group time, devotion, lesson, lunch, games, wash up, PJ mission trip report and finally bedtime.
Games went well this year, as there were a twist in this year games played!

Third day of camp I woke up at 8am. I was late for breakfast. The games that were planned for were wet games, this means all campers except main committee people have to get wet and soapy! There were only 2 games played, butter hill and mascot moving game. Both games were successful! The only disappointing thing was that both games sort of overrun then in the end, there wasn't enough time for a change over. Most of the games and logstic people were very very tired by then. We were dozing off during the lesson and mission trip reports.
As usual practice, the last night of camp was unoffical lights out! This means the campers dont have to be forced to go to bed. Most of them stayed up but not for the whole night. Only a handful made it to stay up all night. Those who stayed up played games, sang songs, group games, etc...We all had a fun night. I went to sleep at around 7am in the morning and woke up at 8am!

The camp was great! Thanks to all the rest of the committee who made it a success!
One more thing, we all fed the mosquitoes there!
Haha, I didn't really go into the detail of the camp. I shall upload the photos once I have it!

Common Test...

In just a week's time I will be taking my common tests again.
I don't know to be happy or to be sad, to enjoy or not to enjoy.
With the coming common tests, it means I will be having my holidays again!
I have not really started studying for the coming tests. The worry part of me wants to study and score well but the lazy part of me is stopping me from doing that!

I really should start doing something...
It is time to reflect on my life again!
A brand new year is arriving! Arriving really fast.
More birthdays are coming too!
The festive seasons is here and I am sick!
That's all for now...

Tuesday

Just like any other tuesday morning, waking up to get to school on time for math lecture. Today is also the first time I am blogging during lesson time.

To keep my promise to totto-chan, this is the promised entry!
Went out to catch echancanted on Sunday. It was really a funny show..No wonder so many girls want to catch it! And I got to say a big "Sorry" because I was late.
Dinner at subway was great and the desert was even better *beams*
It has been so long since I last ate such good dao hui!

An Aspiring Story!

This is another short story that a friend sent me. I hope to all out there you will read this aspiring story. Doesn't matter if this story is true or false, take time to think through about your actions. Things that you have done that might have hurt others, especially people close to you...
Don't ever let this actions be a burden for your lifetime.

" My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.

I was so embarrassed.

How could she do this to me?

I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.

The next day at school on of my classmates said, 'EEE, your mom only has one eye!'

I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.

I confronted her that day and said, 'If you're only going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?'

My mom did not respond...

I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had just said, because I was full of anger!

I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted to be out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.

So I studies real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.

Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts.

Then one day, my mother came to visit me. She had not seen me in years and she did not even meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.

I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my children!'

'GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!'

And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,' and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.

After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she passed away. I didn't not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

'My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see...when you were very little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

When her son read this, he was so touched that he regretted saying all those hurtful words to his mother.

He regretted it all his live and wanted to repay his mother's kindness but it was all too late...

His mother had already passed away sadly.

But there is one good news that the son will always remember: His mother is save with Jesus.

And that his mother will be watching him grow up from the gates of heaven. "

Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day will be their last, or your own.

Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings peace...

Sharity Gift Box

Everything was a success! Saturday was a success! Sunday was a success! *BEAMS*
Great Job Done Out There By Everyone Who Was Involved, Especially Primers Main Com!!
See those happy faces when they receive the food and you know it is worth it!

Let me do a run through of both days,

Saturday

Collection was fun! Especially with my group. They were all so hyper, so enthu in going all out to collect the food items. Some people were nice, giving as much food as they can while some others just 'shoo' us away. All was done by 2pm, and we were the fastest team to complete 7 blocks of flats! *smiles*

We went to help out Elena's team but when we arrived, they were almost done. So we just did a few doors. The volunteers were dismissed from there and those primers staying over have to go back to school.

*fast forward*

Went back to school and helped out with the sorting of foods. There were quite a number of food items. We have to split them between halal and non-halal then we got to check the expiry date. Anything dates before June 2008 we take it as 'expired'. After all the sorting, we packed the food into different packets. This was the tough part because it was like 12am and we were running here and there to pick up different food items. Each plastic bag weights like 15 to 20kg after everything was put in. Just a brief idea of what was in the bag, there is 5 or 10kg sack of rice, 1.5 litre oil (i think..i only know its those big big kind), maggie noodles, bee hoon, 2 can food and soya source.

We finished packing about 400plus packets at like 2.30am. Most people slept at like 3am but some stay on the whole night while others slept a while later.

Sunday

Rise and sun at 10am! Everyone was sleepy...! Ate MacDonald for lunch. Transferred all the packets to the cars and bus. We were split up into groups again. Me, Christine, Bernice, Kok Rui, Morgan, Lara, Kenneth, Anthony, Mark and some others were in the black 1 group. We were further divided into pairs and went around giving out the bag of food to the needy people. Me and Christine delivered most of the halal food. There was once she talked in dialect which made all of us laugh because it was so so funny! Jokes aside. We all work hard, all our hands and fingers were hurting because the bags of food were heavy. Imagine carrying them up and down for a few hours! All in all we manage to finish up everything and headed back to BB headquarter to unload those packets that was extra.

That was all that was done on both days for SGB! I guess all of primers were tired but we know that we have brought smile to all the faces we met!!~

3 cheers for primers:
Hip Hip, Hurray
Hip Hip, Hurray
Hip Hip, Hurray!

Guess what I did today, I SKIPPED lessons!
It is my very first time that I ever tried doing that. I am feeling kind of guilty even though my attendance is there.
I shall promise myself that I will never do this again!

Me, ChaoLin, Jaslyn and Weijie went to Vivo to shop for birthday presents. Actually it was only ChaoLin who needs to buy birthday present. Ya, and once again it is Vivo City..Lols. I am getting really sick of going to Vivo City but since it is so near my house, I shall try not to mind about going there because I can get home fast *beams*.
Left them at about 5plus so I could go and visit Sel at beach station. Kinda miss her! (:
Me,Sie and her friend, whos name I only partially know, ate dinner together. Then we went shopping for sweets! We ended up sitting at mac for random talks while waiting for Sel. I met Estee at the bus stop on my way home too!

Exercise

Woots, finally Wednesday came and guess what I did... I went for an evening jog with Alexis and Marcus. It had been so long since I last exercise!! Time to get my stamina and body back in shape.

This is jogging thing is something out of the blue, something that I will never thought of doing but after much consideration, I decided to. Life is usual for me, nothing special. It is also time to wake myself up, up from the world of dreams.
Common tests are just round the coners and I know nuts about 3 of my modules. Almost all of my notes are half copied or not even copied at all. I must try to get it done by this weekend, which I highly doubt I will be able to do it due to the external SGB event.

Talking about SGB event, this Saturday have to camp over in school to sort and pack the food we collected. Seriously, I cannot wait for this event to end. Once this is over, I will have time to relax a little. This whole month of November is so tiring for me...
Am going to enjoy the free time I have after Sunday *beams*.

Going to sleep now! Nights to everyone out there.
Sweetest Dreams (:

The Song:

Corrinne May - Five Loaves and Two Fishes

A little boy of thirteen

was on his way to school

He heard a crowd of people laughing

and he went to take a look

Thousands were listening

to the stories of one man

He spoke with such wisdom,

even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly

the day turned to night

Everyone was hungry

but there was no food in sight

The boy looked in his lunchbox

at the little that he had

He wasn't sure what good it'd do

there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus

the kindness in His smile

and the boy cried out

with the trust of a child

he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes

Do with it as you will

I surrender

Take my fears and inhibitions

All my burdens, my ambitions

You can use it all

to feed them all

"I often think about that boy

when I'm feeling small

and I worry that the work I do

means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry

is a diamond in His hand

sand every door that slams in my face

I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breadth that I have

Oh Lord, you can work miracles

All that you need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes

Do with it as you will

I surrender

Take my fears and inhibitions

All my burdens, my ambitions

You can use it all

I hope it's not too small

I trust in you

I trust in you

Take my five loaves and two fishes

Do with it as you willI surrender

Take my fears and inhibitions

All my burdens, my ambitions

You can use it all

no gift is too small

Take time you read the lyrics!!~

Hope this songs will touch all your hearts too (:
