in awe.

Wow, just wow.. I really don't know what to say.

God never fails to amaze me with how He works..really, He doesn't.

Something that's really continued to become more and more alive to me (and even more today) is just how God would always find that special, meaningful way to encourage someone, just when they need it most. It's like how He gave Abraham an encouragement in Genesis 13 by reassuring Him of His promises to bless him and his descendants after Lot took all the good side of the land..except unique.

Y'know, after an extremely wonderful yet tiring week of anniversary (partially coz I fell sick just before it), after my mind was just filled with work after work, and all sorts of random things, I found such delight in keeping the Lord's promises with me.

One I kept in particular was one that Pastor Charlie mentioned - Isaiah 41:10 -> "Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will give you help. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.". I also applied Psalm 27:13 by believing in that I would see the goodness of the Lord, and doing my best not to lose heart.

And really, God's Word can bless one's life so much. Y'know, even though I was coughing and couldnt talk properly just a day or two before anniversary, I could sing all the songs + lead in worship fine. I almost lost my voice, and was still able to sing 'Undivided', doing my best to reach the high A. I also managed to wash dishes until midnight on anniversary, and wash for over 2hours on sunday, and still find strength to make my day. My heart just praises the Lord.

but that wasn't it. Today, I was really discouraged because I was supposed to have a group meeting for an oral presentation next monday (today was the only day we got to do this, it was pretty much 1 shot or none) and only 1 out of my 3 group members showed up. This was the second time that happened..and I was just so discouraged thinking to myself, 'can I really do this?'.. I was quite discouraged all the night through.

Coming home after a dinner with my mum though, I decided to check the mail, and behold I got a letter from Curtin! So i'm thinking...okay, can't be anything special. But I opened it up, expecting some bill or something, but no! It was a letter of commendation from the Engineering Foundation Year Co-ordinator. It basically said that during the discussion board, they had noted that I did well in Semester 1, 2010 it was just a letter of acknowledgement and of warm wishes to do well in the years to come!

Really, I couldve almost broken down in tears of joy. The Lord had given me this tiny letter of encouragement just when my heart was about to break down in discouragement. I don't know what to say, or how to express what I feel. all I can say is that I'm just in such great awe, I don't know what to do.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing that is in Christ!" - Eph 1:3.

Truly God is loving. Truly God is merciful. Truly God is gracious, and His paths drip with abundance.

Amen.

Well, today was the end of family camp 2010.

It was, quite an interesting camp I must say. Both in a good, and 'could've been better' way.

Well, I'm grateful that I'm able to clear up a few misconceptions during this camp, and overcome some of my own doubts and troubles.

For me, it was firstly that idea of cleansing being two parts. The first being a complete, full (louo) cleansing where we are declared righteous by God, and a partial, (nipto) cleansing which in John 13 was a cleansing of the feet. To be honest, often when I fall and sin I have developed a bad habit of always dwelling on that fault (which is very bad, and self-discouraging), mainly because I think that I need to always seek full cleansing, which means that I always need to be re-justified by God and whatever whatever which causes me to feel so far from God.

But when Pastor Charlie mentioned this, it became so much clearer to me that when I sin and stumble, it's just a partial, nipto cleansing of the feet that I need, not a total re-justification from God. I only need my feet to be washed from walking dirtily in the ways of the world, because the rest of my body is clean, because Christ has justified me and cleansed me the moment I chose to believe in Him. No longer do I need to feel so guilty and far away from God when I stumble, because I can know that when I seek cleansing now, it is not a total re-justification and restarting of a relationship with God that I need, but only a partial cleansing of the feet because I AM lovingly justified by God through Christ!

This understanding is so vital to me!

And wow, a man after God's own heart. A man of destiny. A man who lives life above himself. A man who makes, and is a part of history. A man loyal, loving, and dynamically and intimately relating to God. A man with such HIGH regard for God. A humble man. A man of prudent and wise speech. A man of wonderful prayer life. A man of ENORMOUS love for the Lord. A man who serves the Lord, wholeheartedly, willingly, lovingly. A man of valor (not afraid of troubles and hardship because he knows the Lord is there in the midst of it all) . A man of sincerity, purity and uprightness in heart. A man truly loved by the Lord, and chosen to do His mighty and wonderful works. Yet still, does not need to be a man of perfection. THIS is the kind of man the Lord looks for, and the man I truly want to be.

Now the challenge is to prove how much I want it, and to be daring to cultivate this heart, not being afraid of trials, challenges and setbacks.

My challenges:

Determine to love the Lord with my whole heart, soul, strength and mind, letting Him be real to me each and every day of my life. "I WILL love you O Lord my strength."
Cultivate an intimacy with the Lord and His Word through prayer and expanding of knowledge.
Determine to serve the Lord wholeheartedly, willingly, with A HEART OF LOVE
To be that man which the Lord Himself searches for and delights in; a man after God's own heart.

Dear God,

Thank you for your provision of people like Pastor Chris and fellow brethren who would support me and encourage me and share their concern for me like that which was easily evident yesterday/last night. I thank you that you would show your love to me through people like them, and may I always be reminded that I am not running this race alone, even as I seek to relate more to these people, and also as I seek to persevere through the trials and temptations of life (:

May you also teach me to live the life of an overcomer with joy :D

Thank You!

Amen :D

haha cleared out half my shed today....was interesting to find all these things.

I really thought everything in there was just all these scraps we'd been keeping for years, but it was interesting to find all these things...things which bring me down memory lane.

1) My toys
2) My beloved, and most remembered letter from "Santa!" (..yeah, it was actually from my sister, I even found the writing pad she used to write the letter today too)
3) About 10 Christmas cards from my primary school friends. (Was so sad to know there was actually someone I didn't know, some I wasn't in contact with for a million years, and some I'm no longer close with because we've all gone our different ways)

and all these other things!

It really does takes reminiscing and remembering the past to remind us of just how abundantly the Lord has provided and kept us hey. In that year I received that "santa" letter, I remember I got this awesome scooter, a digimon tamagotchi like thing, and so much other stuff which I as a kid wanted soo much! And these things weren't cheap okay, the scooter would've costed probably $50-100, the digimon alone about $20-30, and all the other stuff so much more. Yet at a time when my family was very poor ($3 happy meals were too expensive for us - I'd always cry and cry because I could barely ever get one no matter how much I wanted it) my parents and sisters would sacrifice their money to make Christmas special for me...even though they knew that some imaginary person would end up getting the credit instead.

And so again, I thank God for such family.

Oh, and I don't know why...I think really because I just missed this whole family thing so much, I got my dad to say grace for dinner. It was so fun and interesting, because ever since we were young, we never really ate ANY of our meals together as a family (we'd just eat by ourselves whenever we were hungry), so we'd always say grace by ourselves, and it carried on as a habit even when we did eat with other people. So...I thought it'd be nice to just be able to spend a time of prayer with my dad for once, even if it is just saying grace!

I was just like
"Hey dad, you pray for the food later okay?"
" Huh, why does the food need to be prayed for?"
"I meant just say grace >_>"
"You're gonna pray?"
"You pray lahh"
"I cannot pray..."
"Yeah you can, just say it in indo if you have to"

So before dinner he prayed "Dear Jesus, thank you for this wonderful food you have given us, may you bless it to our body and our mind. Thank you" and had a little chuckle. haha. funny :p

Ahh well we shall see hopefully we can cultivate this someday (:

2010-02-14T18:50:00.003+08:00

"my hands can only do so much, it never seems to be enough, and my voice can only lift you so far".
God knows this, yet He still gives me chance after chance. He gives me privilege after privilege to serve Him. Who am I that I am to have such honor in serving? Who am I that He would call me like this? Who am I that He would care and choose me, adopt me as son, forgive me, bless me, and call me to be the praise of His glory? No one. Yet out of His goodness and faithfulness He still does it for me. So overwhelmingly humbling.

But it is times like these when I have been given the opportunity to serve (yes, serving is an opportunity; because it does not become anything more than that unless you take it) that I must learn to seek the Lord even more. "There is no glory in my own wisdom. There is no power in my own strength. There is no might in my own riches...".

And not only do I thank God for the opportunity to serve, I thank Him that He would be with me as I carry out His work! Thankfully the CNY Reunion lunch was a success yesterday, the games, the food, the fellowship, everything! It was such an uplift to the soul to be able to be part of organizing something like that, and see it go into success! I'm really learning to appreciate more and more what it means to serve together hey, especially with the committee...when you can learn to grow together, serve together, trust each other, depend on each other...its so wonderful! I thank God for them too!

It's really applicable isn't it when Mish and Steph talked about blessings yesterday? Because indeed, when you take the time to look back, you really DO learn to appreciate, and in most cases be overwhelmed at just how much each of us are blessed. Why should we always covet, and be greedy for more, rather than being content with what we already have?

I like what Paul says in Phillipians 4 - he learnt to be content in any situation, whatever it may be; whether hungry, well fed, living in plenty or in want. Rather than living in greed and want, taking things even as simple as food, support from family and friends, a church, a community of faith, a nice house and comfy bed to live and even more all for granted, could we also learn to practice being appreciative of what we have, and have been given, and be content instead? Interesting thought huh? (:

But nevertheless, although I am scared of the tasks given to me for this Saturday in the CNY programme, I do know that God wouldn't give me something if He knew I couldn't handle it. In the end, I'm not doing it in my own strength anyway, so why SHOULD I be unable to handle it?
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" - Phil 4:13.
My prayer and reminder for the week.

2010-02-04T21:39:00.005+08:00

Psalm 63 - I've experienced God's lovingkindness. I've experienced His help and His divine hand upholding...yet why do i doubt? I have no reason to yet I do. Why has praise disappeared from my lips. Why is there no spiritual satisfaction. Why is there no more natural radiance in rejoicing God. My heart is troubled O Lord, and my soul thirsts for you. I want to find you.

-------------------------
There is a longing only You can fill
A raging temptest only You can still
My soul is thirsty Lord
To know You as I'm known
Drink from the river
That flows before your throne

Take me deeper
Deeper in love with You
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace
Take me deeper
Deeper than I've ever been before
I just want to love You more and more
How I long to be deeper in love

Sunrise to sunrise
I will seek Your face
Drawn by the Spirit
To the promise of Your grace
My heart has found in You
A hope that will abide
Here in Your presence
Forever satisfied

-------------

Free, I long to be free
I long for the day I'll believe
That all you say you see in me is true
That's hard for me to do
It's hard for me to die to myself
Entrust my life to someone else
So come empty me out
I'm no good without
You inside of me

CHORUS:
Come and fill my heart with hope
Come and fill my life with love
Come and fill my soul with strength to carry on
Because from here the climb is steep, the road is long
Come and fill my days with dreams
Empty me of all the empty things
That I hold onto
Come and fill my heart with you

I need you in my life
Need you like the air that I breath
You've become the very heart of me
And I, I can't believe my eyes
Can't believe the dream that I've found
Lord, your love has turned my world around
So come fill up my heart
'Till I'm like you are
So deep inside of me

CHORUS

Search me, Lord
Try my heart
Come and take me now and make me new
So that all of the world will see you
Overflow in my life

okayokay sorry i know it's been over a week and I haven't updated, I'm sorry, I've been lazy >_>
or somewhat busy, but still lazy. lol.

anyway, what's going on in my mind at the moment is the fact that enoch, tim and I actually got invited to join the YPG Committee just this saturday after cleaning. I mean, there were rumours that there might be a new commitee, and Lei said that it would be possible that I would be in it, but actually being ASKED to be in it...is a whole differrent ball game.

Like seriously, it's such a privelege to be able to be part of the committee. It's a scary, yet at the same time very exciting privelege to have. I'm no longer just a YPG attender, and I'm no longer sitting there with a dead faith like I was only months ago. I remember when I attended youth camp last year, I saw people serving in ways I've never seen before, and I could only imagine, and see how far I was from being anywhere close to serving God, but now to be able to be where others were when I looked up at them with my eyes months ago to me is such a privelege. It confirms my growth in faith, and assures me of God's ability to turn lives around.

Well YPG starts next week. I'm very excited for this wonderful year ahead.
and yes, I do dare to say that I lack wisdom, and will DEFINITELY need it if I plan to serve the Lord this year - so I shall ask. (:

2010-01-05T18:42:00.003+08:00

hmm, been feeling a bit down today because of..haha stuff i guess.
not really something to post publicly because its a very subjective thing to think, but the feeling of exclusion/loneliness it caused kinda got to my head a bit today even though I knew it shouldn't. because in the end, the love of the world is only brotherly - it's not perfect, sacrificial and unconditional like God's.

anyway, thankfully i have the Lord's Word. Trying to apply what Pastor Chris taught in sunday school - to learn to draw strength from the Lord and turn to Him in my troubles. I tried thinking of a verse to encourage myself (haha kinda funny huh :p), and though I couldn't think of any on the spot, I just randomly thought of the aspect of God's love, and typed in 'love' into the search thing on my iphone bible, and as i scrolled through I found the verse in romans 8:35 and 38-39;

"Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?"

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor ANYTHING else in all creation, will be able to seperate us form the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"

Really helps to dwell on the love for the Lord. I thought to myself, why should i seek the brotherly phileo love of the world, and push away God's sacrificial agape love if i can have it instead? And then this is where the crucial part happens; I remember the verse I used to try and encourage people - 2 Corinthians 1:3-5.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion, and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in ALL our troubles that we may comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."

As I dwelt on this verse, I was reminded how God is a God of compassion. He's not a God who's just all 'up there' and unreachable, He actually knows and sympathises with our sufferings - why?
because He Himself endured all the sufferring of the world, and bore every pain possible; all in one go.
I was reminded of how God knows my troubles, and I felt so englightened. I don't need to rely on the love of the world to comfort me; not when I have a God like this who can love so much more!

Indeed, this is why we love God - not that we loved Him first, but because He first loved us.

2010-01-04T20:45:00.002+08:00

mm, had my first legitimate holy communion yesterday, and it happened to be the first for the year. I thought about what was written in the bulletin about what we should seek as we partake of this holy communion, it said; a renewed commitment to the Lord Jesus,
a renewed consciousness to abide in the Lord Jesus, and
a renewed sense of calling to walk worthy of the Lord in 2010.

I remember how Pastor Chris mentioned during one of the YPG discussion groups how we should really partake of holy communion in a very special way or something like that. but I do remember he said "woe to me the day I treat holy communion as just another thing/ritual". I really liked the songs that we sang as we partook of the bread and cup yesterday. It was hymn 201 - Grace greater than all our sin. In verse three it said "Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look there is flowing a crimson tide. Whiter than snow you may be today!" I thought, how true. Just as Pastor Chris mentioned when he talked about covenants, what binds us to the Lord is the covenant He made with us through His blood. and yet people nowadays disregard covenants as if it were nothing; an example? marriage. apparrently divorce rates are 50%, which means for every marriage made, a divorce paper is signed. sigh.

Well afterwards we went to celebrate tim's 18th. was fun! beaching it, fishing, bbq-ing, rugby-ing. hey, it was great! :p who says you need booze to celebrate an 18th birthday? definitely not me!
I just wish him all the best in this 18th year, and pray that he continue to stay faithful to the Lord, and hope he does well as he leads the congregation in piano this sunday! (:

Last but not least, today. I was all excited and scared because I was finally starting my first piano lesson today, even though my new teacher is really strict and scary-looking. But I got there, and nobody was home..or at least it looked like nobody was inside. My mum and I knocked..and waited..and knocked..and waited. after an hour and fifteen minutes of waiting we decided to go home =/

At the moment I'm really confused with everything that's happening. Apparrently I have a job, but my boss hasn't made an attempt to contact me as of the work trial. Apparrently I have piano lessons, but my teacher isn't there when I go to her house, just like she forgot I was supposed to meet up with her 2 weeks ago until i came to her house on the night and knocked on the door. I also get my license in 2 weeks, but my car's getting repaired and my mum estimates it'll take 3 weeks or so before it's done. Hmm, what to do..what to feel? am I frustrated? yeah a bit. angry? tempted to. curious/confused? very.

But I'm really trying to learn this aspect of "waiting on the Lord" that we're exploring this month and the next. in times like this, I have to learn to literally wait on the Lord. to trust in Him. depend on Him. He is a faithful and loving God after all; even if His greater plan is for me to neither get the job, the piano lessons nor the car in time. it's not easy. I'm tempted to feel frustrated and annoyed, but i'm trying my best to suppress. I hope I really learn to wait on Him. I hope I don't end up being impatient and trying to take things into my own hands - it'll only end up worse. I must instead clothe myself with humility and patience, bringing my concerns to Him and believing He will do what is right in His eyes, rather than having an impatiently complaining spirit.

If anyone starts to see me do anything otherwise, please rebuke me.
Thanks (:

Happy New Years!

2010-01-01T09:16:00.008+08:00

Well Happy New Years people!!

well, last night was the end of one year, and today another year has begun. But my hope? The way I run the race of faith will be the same as it has been the past few months. I regretted not sharing a testimony last night at the Down Memory Lane service, because I just have SO MUCH to share and thank God for, and Jonno could testify when I ended up talking non stop for a full 20-30mins in the car yesterday, telling him about my past 6 months. I guess, there's a lesson to be learnt. DONT BE SO LAZY >_>

But hey, if I couldn't share it yesterday, then I can most definitely share it on here.

The things I thank God for in 2009:
1) Youth Camp - this where it all started. the spark of conviction and change.
2) Jewel - she wasn't the person who would only just 'invite' you to camp, and expect God to do everything else. During, and even AFTER youth camp, she'd always check up on me every few days, asking me how my reading was, encouraging me, checking up on me, always making sure to keep me on track.
3) All the people who have given me transport, to and from church. - Jonno, enoch, michelle, lionel, uncle henry, uncle willy...so many! Because without them, I wouldn't even have a chance to attend Bethel, nor learn and grow in my faith. I thank God that they would serve in this transport ministry, and lovingly do this for me and others!
4) Japanese speech contest, state, and nationals - Ever since my sister won the nationals when i was in year 4 or something, this speech contest has been my dream to win. Last year I only got 3rd place in the state, but this year in God's grace I was able to win the state, and though I didn't win nationals, who am I that God would fulfill my dream and allow me to be there in the first place? I'm just merely thankful and indebted to Him!
5) Fellow Brethren, both in Bethany, and Bethel - You know, when times are hard, and you're struggling, or even when you don't realise you are (whether with life situations, sin problems, whatever), it's in these times, that your church brethren become so much more important to you. You know, in my loss of the national speech competition, I could have easily dwelt in my dissappointment and anger, and become hating, spiting, and take it all out on God. In my exams, I could've continued doing them with lack of motivation, lack of purpose, tiredness, and end up failing, dissappointing my parents, God, myself, the school, everyone. But thankfully because of God's grace I have people like Dr Daniel who would always encourage me. In my loss at the speech competition, it was the words he gave me the night before that kept me from going crazy - "No matter what happens at the competition, win or lose, always remember that it's not the title, or the win that's important, but the journey you took to get there". In my loss, I remembered these words, and realised that it didn't matter whether I won or not. My sister won, and so what? 8 years later, and nobody speaks of her. But what counts is the journey - did I learn to trust the Lord? Did I learn to depend on Him? Did I learn to seek His will in all things? Did I learn to be thankful for the opportunity I have to compete? It's these things that we learn that really count, because they are the things that will last! Not awards, names, titles! In my exams also, the Dr Daniel would always be there to support me. He'd ask for my exam timetable so that he could put it on his phone to remind himself to keep praying for me, he'd encourage me, and not just him, but the other brethren at church too! Y'know I would've really gone haywire if I didn't have the people at church supporting me, and being an example to me too! They'd always say, put your studies first, and if they had to do extra cleaning on saturdays because I wasn't there, they'd do it, to make sure I used my time wisely to study! And many people at church also put this into practice, which challenged me all the more to persevere! They'd always remind me that even if I don't attend some of the things at church temporarily, they'd rather have me do that and glorify God in my studies than have others see me doing bad because of what 'i was doing for my faith'
6) Studies! - Wah, I wrote so much I had to check what number this next point was =_= But yeah, I really thank God for my studies, my grades. Sure I did extremely well in the beginning of the year, but I began to grow weary and do worse and worse as I reached the end of third term. In my end of year school exams, I got about 10-20% lower than what I could've gotten in all of my subjects (except jap), I barely passed english, and I was scared. If i failed english, I wouldn't be allowed to graduate, and if in any subject I was getting worse and worse during the year, it was this one. Physics I needed as a prerequisite to do engineering. All I needed to do was to pass it, so i'd never study for it, except 1-2days before the tests/exams(yes, exams too). But when I realised I only got 64% or something for my mock exams, I thought to myself. If i do bad in my TEE (50% of my year), and fail physics, my whole year's worth of attending classes would go to waste, and I'd have to spend $5000 or something to do a bridging course next year which I might not even pass. But thankfully despite all this, the Lord really granted me His strength to persevere through the countless hours of studying, and instead of getting a C in English and Physics (or a D which I was scared of), I ended up getting a B in english, and an A in physics! How merciful is He that He would bless in such abundance! And even as I got my TER (Tertiary Entrance Ranking) a few days ago, He so wonderfully blessed me with a ranking of 99.2! (for those of you who dont know, that basically means my score was better than 99.2% of the state). I don't want it to seem like I'm showing off, because I can fully admit it most definitely was NOT me, but the Lord through me that has allowed me to do so well! And you know, because of this now, I can get a scholarship in curtin engineering, and save my parents and myself $5000 a year...I seriously just can't thank God enough!
7) Youth Conference - It was truly a wonderful, enriching learning experience. As I have said to many, this youth conference was the first camp opportunity I got to BUILD on my faith, rather than restart it every single time as I have been before. Not only that, but I was able to get so much out of it - from the messages, to the fellowship, and to top it off we met our wonderful Bethany brethren (new and old), who we were finally able to catch up with, and who kindly took us out and cared so much for us!
8) Christmas Musical - I admit, there were many times I felt the musical got very repetitive, very tiring and everything. I even doubted the production of it at times. When we first began rehearsing, I didn't have the vocal endurance to sing through all the songs, and few weeks after I had a sore throat which never recovered until the first night of the musical itself. Yes, I did say the first night of the musical. It was when I finally realised the importance of this musical in touching hearts and reaching out, that I begged that the Lord would recover my voice if anything, so that for once I could really praise Him with it. And He did. The first night of the musical was the first night I was able to endure through all the songs, and was the first night my voice was strong enough to talk for long periods of time, since..weeks on end! An impossible coincidence! And He also wonderfully sustained the choir, and all those who were also sick just days and hours before, and ministered to many hearts - even Pastor Chris'! :)
9) Reaffirmation of Faith - Yes, as many of you would know, I was reaffirmed on Christmas Day this year. I was just so humbled by the fact that I could finally identify myself with Christ. That I could be reconciled with Him, and even be called His servant. Definitely a challenge to keep running though, especially knowing that I could easily stray like many who have done so after reaffirmation.
10) Family - I almost forgot this as I typed so much, but as I have mentioned in post after post, I thank God for my family. My dad took the time to come to my reaffirmation, to come to the christmas musical, to come to the post-christmas service, to provide for my family, to love, to care, to work day after day, year after year, for 12+ hours a day 363/365 days of the year, just to show his love for our family. My mom who has also supported me through my ups and downs of life, and also my sisters who..well are my sisters! hahaha. I've really learnt to appreciate my family more this year, and especially my dad. To be honest, he was probably the person I loved least in the past, but this year probably has become the person I love most (not that others don't come closely running behind) but because I finally realised what he does for me, and his family, and his fatherly love just reminds me all the time - if my earthly father can love me so much to sacrifice all his hobbies, interests, time to love and care, how much more my Father in heaven? (:

Well I must stop now unfortunately. It really IS true last night when Nick said that a man who would take the time to dwell on God would never run out of things to be thankful for!

If you have read everything until here, I thank you for taking the time to do so. You have persevered, and stood fast, resisting the temptation to press the 'close button'! haha. But whoever you are, I hope you all have a Blessed New Year. As Pastor Chris taught last night from Matt 13:51-52 and 44-46, I will treasure the past - these wonderful blessings which the Lord has given me in these past six months alone. I will keep them in my treasure box, and look into the future of 2010(and onwards), seeking to fill it up more and more with God's blessings, being confident because of the hope I have in God! :)

Oh, and New years resolutions? to continue in the race of faith I began running this year, with strength from the Lord! (to be honest, 2009's been so great, I kind of don't even want to say it ended, but rather say 2010 is just a continuation of the same, wonderful year. haha. )

2009-12-25T18:40:00.002+08:00

weww, Merry Christmas everyone!! :D

haha i feel so happy. I now have double reason to celebrate Christmas!
1) Birth of Jesus
2) My reaffirmation (:

Yeah, its pretty awesome for me! I mean, I'm very happy, and I'm very humbled that I could even go up there and get reaffirmed. Despite my sin, despite my faults, the Lord still chooses to love me, to allow me to identify with Him as Father, and to even be called His servant is such a priveledge.
I really commit my race of faith to Him, because I know the possibility of straying is very real, and it's the last thing I want to do. So I pray for His strength, because "He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak" - Isaiah 40:29 (Thanks Gerald for sharing this with my discussion group during YC!)

But yes, its very coool. And I especially thank God for Bethel. They've been nothing but a wonderfully, loving family - always caring, always supporting. Yknow last week I was standing in line for lunch, and I was looking at the fellowship hall. Everyone was sitting with people from other families, kids playing with other kids, parents chatting with other parents, and people looking after other people's children. Oh what unity and love! I said to Lei "Man, how awesome is it. We're seriously just one big family. Parents looking after other childrens kids and all". Really I thank God that He would do such a wonderful work among us. And hey, after reaffirmation today almost every single person that went up to me and congratulated me said "Welcome to the family" or something along those lines. I was so deeply touched man.. I mean for them to just accept and love me like that.. and what more the Lord!

oh, and random fact! I wore purple today, and coincidentally natalie wore purple too! it was like purple reaffirmation day! :p I swear it wasnt planned! haha. I remember I was doing something..and I saw Natalie and I was like "NATT! YOU'RE WEARING PURPLE TOO!" and she gave me the biggest "OMG" look and was like "OMG GOOD JOBBBB!!" hahaha. and also jonno and amelia in singapore wore purple too...and even some random news reporter on tv was wearing purple! I swear today was like majorly filled with purple! haha. anyway, I like the colour purple :D

And yes, well I'm at my daddy's house now. Looking to keep Him company for the weekend. He's actually taking days off for once, and I don't want him to be home alone...especially not at christmas! I love my dad heaps. He works 7 days a week, from 4:30am-6:30 or 7pm everyday (except sunday he closes at 3ish). He does paperwork and stuff when he gets home aswell, and often doesnt finish til 9 or 10 at times. He does this all to provide for his family, and even then, my mom divorced him, and only about one of my four sisters would even bother to see him or talk to him now. What great love he gives to us, and up until this year, I've really taken his love for granted. I used to often get impatient with him, scold him and push him away etc. and yet even now, he still continues to work hard each and everyday. He comes home to nobody four times a week, and the other three days i only see him for 2-3 hours if im lucky before he has to sleep for work the next day. The least I could do for christmas, ESPECIALLY when he takes two days off, is accompany him!

Anyway, I really want to thank God for him, my friends, my family, everyone. Yes, that includes my spiritual family too - whether it be here in perth, singapore or wherever.

The Lord has answered my prayer and really made this christmas special for me :)

2009-12-23T22:12:00.002+08:00

waoo, i really cant express how happy I am at the moment hey.

Just to share the news, I was on my way home from helping out at my sister's newsagent today, and we decided to stop by riverton to buy me some milk, and hand out some resume's. Yes, I'm looking for a job, and have been for a while now because I can't keep living on pocket money and all. I spent my birthday and a few days after it going to garden city, harbourtown, city and all to give out my resume's but no luck...until today.

What are the chances that so many jobs which are so far ignore my resume, and then the second resume I hand in which is close to my house, which is the perfect cafe job I want, accepts? VERY SMALL I TELL YOU! But really shows how gracious the Lord is to me. I went to a billion cafe's, even those with recruiting signs, sports stores etc. and none called back, and i dont think many even wanted to consider me, but today, the first resume i hand in at the store i actually WANT to work at just 'happens' to be closing, and the manager just 'happens' to be there with free time, and just 'happens' to be looking for a young male to recruit to add to her staff, and 'happens' to want to interview me and give me a job. Really, I could take this for granted, but I don't, because I know it's not out of my own achievements or qualifications (which I dont think the manager really looked at anyway) that I got the job, but by the grace of the Lord.

I kinda gave up hope looking for a job a few days ago because I know alot of people aren't recruiting at the moment. Yet the Lord provided me with a job - walking distance from both my parents houses, pays good, and is what I wanted. The manager is even looking to train people to be barista's (what I wanted to be doing at a cafe, but thought I could never do because I don't have any previous cafe experience yet) too! Not many people would bother with inexperienced people! Really, I can't do anything right now but thank the Lord. I mean I just can't express it. Truly the Lord DOES have plans for us, greater than we could imagine. Who would've thought that all the other jobs that I didn't really want, that were far away from home would reject my application, but the one job close to my house that involved what I WANTED to do actually accepted?

I dunno hey, I'm just so humbled by the Lord's blessings upon me. Makes me even more nervous for my reaffirmation this Christmas! haha. Well I havn't started working yet, but when I do, I will seek to work hard, and work faithfully. I don't want to take the Lord's provision for granted, and I want to be a light shining for Him, even in the workforce - it's the very least I could do to give back to Him!

"Your statutes are my heritage forever. They are the joy of my heart." - Psalm 119:111.

written memories

2009-11-22T21:55:00.002+08:00

oh man, knackeredd from basketball. like 110% dead..but mannn was basketball FUN!!

But anyway, just really want to take the time to write on this blog, because my blog is really where I like to store special moments, and thoughts; like my journal.

Pastor Chris spent his time talking to us about the importance of having written records of our thoughts, and events which occured in our lives, because it's true - we as humans forget, just like that. For me, I like to take notes during the times which God's Word is revealed to me, whether it be at YPG, Discipleship, or whenever, because I know the reality of this problem. Heck, to be honest, my memory span probably doesn't last for more than 24hours! I have chosen this to be something I work at though, because think about it, you have about..4-5 messages a week being presented to you, every week...which means like 200+ messages a year, and you wonder how much you could remember what you've been able to remember from that year. scary huh? I mean, sure you probably wont be able to remember each and every single one, but there should be no excuses to not make an effort to!

For Moses, he took the time to make written records, especially after Israel's deliverance from Egypt, describing each detail of the event, because it was a special occasion. I like to do this aswell, and if you notice, I've managed to record some special occasions in the last year or so on this blog; from my 16th birthday, to the school ball, and stuff like that.

Today though, I just want to remember the thought that crossed my mind when I made this remark to me. Just last week or the week before, Aunty Aldine was next to me getting lunch (yeah, i was getting seconds coz im fat >_>) and she just made a small remark "It's good huh that you can come here camp and stay back afterwards" and I was like "yeah".

As I pondered on the remark Aunty Aldine made, I began to think of why it is that I CAN come back to Bethel. You know, over these past few months, God has so gracriously provided for me; not just with food, shelter, lovely, christian friends, and all the like, but He has provided me with wonderful people who would give me transport, to and from church, day in and day out. Without these people, I wouldn't be able to make most of the services I attend, and I wouldn't be able to serve God like I do now at Bethel. So I really thank you all for being such a blessing, and I do hope that these little, meaningful things you guys do for me, and many others who often dont have transport, don't become things that I, or anyone take for granted! And I pray that you guys would not grow weary of doing these righteous works (2 Thess 3:13) :D ..although we might add to your petrol bill :p haha.

Anyway, gonna sleep like a fat baby now coz I'm so tired - physically,mentally, so goodnightttt! :D

2009-11-20T21:19:00.002+08:00

woo, and i've finally finished TEE, officially! haha, pretty good feeling to have it all over and done with. And I guess giving God all the credit is most important in all this, because I cannot tell you how much of the exam was really Him and not me!

I mean there are times when the thought of you doing well comes across your mind, but we must all remind ourselves in all things to develop a humble heart, for God opposes the proud and raises the humble :)

Yeah, last night I was really scared..for the first time ever, in preparation for a japanese exam. Usually this would be my most comfortable test, but last night, I began getting scared for no reason, for the first time in all my exams, and thankfully I have all you brethren to encourage me. You guys may not realise it, but even a small word of encouragement here and there really makes a big differrence in times when you need them most! So I thank each and every one of you who have kindly given me encouraging words over these past weeks especially!

Last night I thankfully found a good, comforting verse. It's the shares the same thought as Phillipians 4:6 which Lionel shared with me in my cbox (" Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, in prayer and petition, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which trandscends all things, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"), but it's actually from 1 Peter 5:7 - " Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you". It's very straight forward verse and as you really dwell on the truth of it, it's really comforting. And I thank God that I was able to find that comfort, that strength, and that ability to do my best today during my last, Jap exam.

Anyway, I'm free now! haha. I guess I should really dwell on this "freed" topic more huh :p

finishhhhhhhh...almost. haha.

2009-11-11T21:47:00.002+08:00

weeeee im pretty happy atm. I just finished my 2nd last exam for...ever.
So cool. so much time to do whatever I want now :D like..have lunch with mates for an hour, play basketball for two, and go to the gym for another two right after the exam. hahaha. funfunfun.

Oh, and thankfully the exam today was pretty easy. I was kinda worried coz applic isnt really that strong of a subject, and everyone was super worried about all the hard exams in the previous years, but I guess God really is gracious huh?

Anyway, looking to bum around. What to do.. haha.

2009-11-09T14:30:00.003+08:00

haha just thought I'd share something I found awesome as I read through 2 Thess 2 again.

you know how it talks about the coming of the antichrist and stuff right, but look at this part of it:

"The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil THAT DECEIVES THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved."

I just realised when I read through it again that the works of satan - his false miracles, signs and things will only deceive those who are are perishing; those who refused to love the truth and be saved. For those of us who are truly saved and know God, love the truth and cherish it, we won't be deceived! How cool is that :D

anyway, off to study! hehe.

reflections

2009-11-08T20:04:00.002+08:00

Wow, its been a long time hey.
I'm thinking I might just kick this blog back alive starting...uh..soon. since I'll be finishing school anyway. hehe.

I just came home from dinner with my dadd, so good. I have a four day break from my last exam til my next, so I was able to take the weekend off this week and catch up with my family...finally.

These times I spend, I really thank the Lord for hey. I mean I had dinner with my mum and sis friday night aswell for the first time in a long while, and today with my dad for the first time in a gazillion years and when I think over all these things, I begin to really cherish these thoughts and time we spend together more. Yknow, God has provided me parents who are always there for me, supporting me, providing for me, feeding me, clothing me, labouring for me, encouraging me... and I really can't express how thankful I am to have such wonderful provision.

Today as I was eating..I felt so..sad. Not like a bad sad, but like a really..cherishing sad. I finally spent time with my dad for dinner - coz eating together is 'our thing'. Like most of the time i actually spend with him we dont talk much( not coz i dont want to talk to him or anything, but like my dad always spends 7 days a week for 12-14hours at the shop working (and even more at home doing paperwork!) for me, so we dont really have that much to talk about.) But despite all this, today as I was eating I was really like, wow hey, this time is so valuable. Sure we're just munching away, and not talking much, but even if we can just eat together like this, it's such a cherishable memory to me. One day I can look back and reflect on the days that I spent eating with my dad and even if it is something as simple as that, I truly cherish it.

I really can't thank the Lord enough for allowing this hey. Sometimes we just don't realise the things in front of us and take everything we have for granted. It's only when you lose it, or when you find that you're unable to spend much time doing this or that, that you begin to realise how much it really means to you. Sometimes just a little reminder is great hey? :)

and man this last week I also want to thank the Lord. As some of you may know I had 4 exams in 4 days, and note that each of these exams i sit are actually worth 50% OF MY YEAR.
I still have two more, but luckily I got a bit more time to spend studying for those, hence why I'm blogging now :p

But anyway, if you know me, you'd probably know that I'm very sleep sensitive, and usually need quite a bit of it, if not I cant focus during the day, get cranky and stuff. This week, despite really having retarded sleeping patterns (like sleeping 5 hours every 2nd day, and 7-9 every other day), God's really given me strength to study and focus. Most of all, He's comforted me so much. I was telling Lilian the other day how surprisingly, despite knowing how much my exams were worth and stuff, I DID NOT FEEL NERVOUS FOR A SINGLE EXAM! How insane is that?
And no, it's not coz people say that im supposed to be some supergenius (which im not), but really coz I was able to find that comfort in God's word.

Throughout the last few days, I'd always keep these verses with me:

1) Jeremiah 29:11-12 "For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."

2) Luke 1:37 - "For NOTHING is impossible with God."

3) John 15:7-8 "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

I knew that God had plans for me. I'd try my best to study, and I believed that NOTHING is impossible with God (especially with studies), and that He will give what is right in His eyes for us that we should bear fruit and show ourselves to be His disciples. But I also knew that no matter what happened, even if i were to for some reason not do well, that God does have a plan for me, and that He will keep me from harm and prosper me. And really these thoughts just eradicated every bit of nervousness I had! It's so wonderful to be able to have the Lord comfort me like this. I guess that's why He's called the God of all comfort in 2 corinthians 1 huh? :)

Anyway, I'll keep it at this for today. I should probably try sleep..I had a bad sleep last night and am super energy-sapped. I hope that God continues to reveal Himself to me like this, and continue to strengthen me in faith and in all I do, especially as I seek to revise my testimony for my reaffirmation. And I hope, just as we learnt in sunday school today that I may not grow weary in doing good works (or in my attempt to do good works anyway). May you continue to bless O Lord :)

God Bless

2009-09-22T20:17:00.002+08:00

Wow, just wow.

I just had a man to man chat with my dad less than 2mins ago before dinner, and it just brings me joy to know that for once this chat was really christian fellowship. Christian matters weren't really something we talked about much with our family, it was only a church thing, but today for me to be able to talk to my dad and relate to him, and be the person he can talk to and listen to his problems just as he would have suffered so much for mine, it brings me joy.

How great it is to know that despite my dad's weaknesses, imperfections, the Lord is still working in Him. We were talking about the divorce my parents underwent a while back, and even now, it pains me to know that it happened mainly because my dad was working so much, 4.30am-830pm to provide for the family that our in-family relationships weren't kept healthy.

But really, it's all part of God's plan. Often i asked why, why did this breakup have to happen to me and so forth, but really when you look at it, it was only for the greater good. Who wouldve been able to cope with parents arguing every night? I couldnt. But now that the breakup happened, the kids in our family have really gotten alot closer to each other, and though not necessarily the case with my sisters, ive been able to really get closer to my parents. For me to now finally be able to be someone my parents can talk to when they're down or troubles, it really brings me joy; instead of me being the one always cramming them with problems and complaints. If the breakup didnt occur, i dont think i'd ever be able to be so close with my parents in this way. And really for me to be able to return the same comfort they've always given me back to them, im glad.

And it makes me think now, of my reading of 2 Corinthians. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, ⁴who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. ". Really to be able to share the comfort we receive from God with others, its a good feeling.

And I'm glad that I can really see God working in my dad's heart, and I hope it continues to stay that way. You know, he even managed to say to me at one point after explaining how this and that bad happened "..I dunno. Maybe God's just testing me.". And to hear him say that, and to know that he's even thinking that way rather than despising God for everything like he was a couple years back, is just so great.

Anyway, just to everyone I wanna share 2 Corinthians 1:5 with you.
In 2 Corinthians 1:5 it reads: "For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort OVERflows."
It says that, and it's obvious that because of the ways of the world, we will suffer because of, and for Jesus, but just as these sufferings flow into our lives, also through Christ comfort (which is also His blessings upon us, coz even comfort is such a blessing) OVER flows. Yes, OVERFLOWS :D That's to say that really God's blessings are so abundant, that no matter how much we struggle and stuff the reward set out for us is far greater that it! How great a thought is that :)

Well, that's all for me for now.

Anniversary weekk!

2009-09-12T20:39:00.002+08:00

Wow, its really been such a fabulous week this past week.
I really just wanna blog coz I don't want to forget it.

First was Fathers day, which was remarkable.
As I did my best to really make it a special day for my dad, the day could not have gone better if the Lord had not been with us at Bethel. From the meaningful singing of the mothers in our church, to the wonderful composition/duet from charlene/michelle foong, to the meaningful testimony given by jonathan before the youth choir sang You Raise Me Up, it all really came together really really well.
You really saw how much each and every person in the congregation had been impacted through the tears they shed. And I myself really was trying my hardest, keeping my eyes shut because I wanted to man up to the tears too :p
Oh How great a God we have!

then second was Pastor Chris's ordination. This day was really great too. The quartet sang great, and it was really just a priveledge (as Jewel also says) to be able to see a pastor being ordained, coz its not somethingi that happens everyday.

and last but not least, the anniversary. Bethel's Fifteenth year of ministry.
Really, this day was just unexplainable. Most of us were tired from the preparations that took place beginning tuesday, and continuing everyday til thursday night, and alot of people were really moody when we came early for rehearsals. But just thanks be to God for his blessings upon us.

Really, on this day, everything was breaking down, even just minutes before the service was to start. Choir actions were going out of time, our singing wasnt strong enough, we weren't able to successfully memorise our discipleship recitations, and stress levels had gone way up for alot of people, especially Aunty Aldine (that poor lady). Everyone was scared, and even as the service was about to begin Natalie, Amanda and I sat down shivering, just stressing. But i really feel that this was all part of God's plan. It was because of thsi fear that we turned to God for help, and he answered us. He allowed us to perform BETTER than ANY previous rehearsal we had, and not a signle mistake was made on the day! How great is that? he didn't let everything fall apart, nor did He just make it work out, but He actually made everything go PERFECTLY, and BETTER than we had ever wanted it to be! Oh the joy it brought to the soul to know that the Heavenly Father had done that!

Really, even after the service, it was just so great to see the smiles on everyones faces. REAL, MEANINGFUL smiles of joy which could not have been brought to us other than from God. How wis He is to create this situatioin on us and to teach us to trust Him through these ways.
I praise God, who despite all our sins, mistakes, and our taking Him for granted, has stuck by us and loved us unconditionally and continues to draw us near to Him.

And lastly, Thanks be to God for allowing us as a church to grow, to come together, and for allowing a sinner like me to be even worthy of giving Him praise, and for providing me with such a loving, and caring spiritual family that I can even talk to my friends and share with them my faith, and run the rac with them without fear!May He continue to work amongst us each and every day that Bethel may grow to be even stronger!

and really, I don't know what esle to write. This joy has really been so unexpressable. I pray that this joy may not be taken from me, and that God continue to work in my life that I may one day be a blessing to others :)

Amen.

hmm..ill use this chat with jewel as my self reminder of my attempt to explain my joy :)

2009-04-08T17:58:00.003+08:00

well, its been a while since i posted, but hey.

today was pretty weird. had jap speech first, then had to go outspan to set up for the concert/fashion parade in session 3 and 4.

the thing was actually pretty awesome, Larry and Alyson did an awesome job hosting, esp. Larry who ended up having fan girls at the end of the thing. haha. We did our song, but unfortunately had no amp, and quakernaat being as unappreciative as she is raged at us telling us it was pathetic when it was obviously the best we could do. we got pretty pissed, but what can you do.

anyway, everyone as a whole did pretty well, so good job everyone! although you're most likely not reading this blog anyway, but hey, it was hard work.

Anyway i thought i'd treat Gideon to maccers afterschool since he was scarred pretty bad by quakernaat insulting us, and also he was tank enough to take the song by himself when we got an amp in the re-run of the concert in session 4. Thanks Gids =]

Anyway, after filming larry and kim walking together and laughing about, we got to maccers and had our fooddd! I had one of those fish fillet snack wrap things. not that great people, but it was good enough! After that we went and played ball. was a funn game! uber fun. Released all my stresses for the day there so it was cool, and I TOUCHED RINGGG. WOOOOOTTTTT. yes, legit 10ft ring at willetton basketball stadium. twice. =] so happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. took like 10 tries, most of those being only like 1-2cm off touching the ring, but got it the last couple of times.

WILLO BALL 09!!

2009-03-22T11:58:00.002+09:00

2 words.

FUCKING AWESOMEEE!!!!

omg, shit hey.
i bet alot of other people besides me, if not EVERYONE was friggin pumped for that night, and i now know damn straight why!

after all those weeks of making sure u got your suit, dress, shirt/tie whatever it is, it all came down to that one day, and it was AWESOME!

morning we had the preball dressup, alot of interesting things like boris/amy/charlene/artie going as lego, the mask, jabbawockeez, arabs, beer bottles, nurses *points at wei jer cross dressing* and stuff like that, but it was awesome!

Christine won one of the two dress up creativity prizes, dressing as a pretty cool looking ANZ atm machine, and cant remember the other one.

After the dress up, muhua,larry and I went to NB to meet up with chong and play Pot black, went for the 3 hour happy session thing for $8. I also went to get a haircut again to fix up my patchy hair, and then got bubble tea too :D

Had lunch at taka's, saw justin/kylie/trent/ridge/charlz after that too, and then headed home!
Unfortunately unlike the chicks i didnt have to do my nails, get special hair styling or make up, but had time to jtu chill at home, nap for 15mins, and then got ready. Ironed everything, dressed up, and headed to eliza's!

Slowly everyone starnted coming one by one, and damn did everyone look good! I mean seriously, that night wouldve been THE night to pickup chicks (or guys if you were gay) coz everyone was HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

And guess what, our hummerrs cameee!! Sexy neon lights, awesome sound system, karaoke, mini tv's, awesome people, SHITLOAD OF FUN and we hadnt even spent 5mins inside the damn mobile yet!

Kings park was our first stop, but unforunately it was raining/sprinkling so we didnt get to take too many photos, but it was still good! Then was the Hyatt, and met up with all the other willos, where we had our predrinks, and again, camwhored!

7.30 was when the doors opened, and we were welcomed by two rows of teachers, and damn were there alot of people there! We had some beef thing for entree, followed by a nice, grilled chicken breast wrapped in prama ham and served with potato mash for mains, and a wonderful cheesecake served with a bit of chocolate sauce for dessert.

The night was spent taking photographs, and damn did we all burn some sweat on the dance floor! jumping around like crazy, moving that body like you would never do anywhere else!
FUN FUN FUN AND FUNNN!!! (and damn, my voice is dead, and so are my knees for jumping aroun dall night in dress shoes)

Unfortunately it ended at 12, and we all had to head to our afters, but that was great too!
We headed to sasha's, and because our hummers were so long and awesome we stopped one house too far, and we thought it was sasha's and we started walking to the door til we saw some white chick coming out and realised it wasnt her house :p But anyway, came in, had some drinks (damn carlton's tasted like crap, couldnt even finish 1/3 of bottle), and played a good game of spin the bottle truth and dare. Saw some lesbo boob grabbing dares, cheek kisses, 'lap dances', and a couple truths too, but as a whole, was greattt!!

Yeah, suddenly it was already 5.10 or something and i headed home. Got home around 5.30, took a shower, slept at 5.55am, shut my bedroom door, rolled the rollershutters shut, put my phone on silent and literally died to sleep til 2.45pm. hahaha. Anyway, woke up, my mom picked me up from dads house at about 3.30, and realised i hadnt eaten for 18-21hours, so i cooked some fried egg and good indomie, and pigged out :p

I was super dead, and had sore knees, and was physically and mentally fatigued, but still went to rossy with the boys coz ive been promising htem i'd got for like a month now, so i did, and stayed til about 7 coz we were headed for Siena's Leaderville for a very very nice dinner at 8! Had garlic bread followed by a nice meal which involved TWO chicken breasts, topped with a nice, tomato and basil sauce, served with a small garden salad and roasted potatoes, and then ended it with a nice triple scoop sundae of cappucino,bacio,chocolate, topped with chocolate sauce& peanuts for dessert.Hot damn!!!

And now i'm as dead as ever physically from basketball and the ball, but am still up and running!
UNFORGETTABLEE!! BEST NIGHT EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! :)

long weekend

2009-03-02T21:23:00.002+09:00

hrmm, i should've done some study shouldn't i..

the weekend started with,saturday wherei had tuition as usual, and then walked for chem tuition coz i needed an extra lesson. Afterwards was lunch at freo, and again went to bella roma coz it was so nice, but damn was it so hot and humid!

later on int he evening though, had youth as usual, and then headed to emily's house for her bday party. was quite fun..had a few games of pool, yummy curry puffs, owned in 3 straight games of big 2(the ONLY 3 games i played.), guitar hero, and awaited kim and larry who friggin singstar-ed like 20+ songs non stop. far out =_=..lol.

sunday began with church int he morning, and afterwards spent the day at city with nick,jer and bonnie looking for a bday present for hui. after a long search and trouble thinking what we should get, we finally found something we thought would be reasonable...

muhua met up with us a little later in the afternoon while we had java juice, and he ended up taking my part in chipping for that present coz he hadnt gotten anything, and i thought i get something else instead since i personally thought getting "it" between 4 people seemed a bit stingey. Oh well.

and today..public holiday. Enjoyed a nice dim sum somewhere in nb with my dad, and then met up with jer,sean,sher,nick and a couple other CI's to head off to cotts where we chilled. Even though it was pretty cold, it got a little warmer later, and was nice sleeping in very, very mild sun. was actually perfect..i was about to fall asleep. but i didnt wanna wake up with people thinking im from south africa, so i opted not to :p Oh, and nick and sean bought 6-pack of beer, and sean drank 1, and nick ended up drinking 4 and smashed the last bottle when we were in city >_>

Oh, and nick was super busting to go pee when we got on the bus he was willing to go off at some random stop (which probably didnt have any toilets anyway) to go pee, and we finally convinced him not to.

Afterwards we went to city where everyone went to hungry jacks, and me and nick went to four seas on barrack street instead to eat.. and on the way back we saw an Audi R8 inside a huge glass showcase in front of forrest chase. VERYY NICEEEE!! and yeah, the price tag was 273-293k, so have fun paying for that :)

but yeah, we went home soon after that =]

a series of unfortunate events..?

2009-02-27T18:58:00.002+09:00

as the title reads, today was pretty much i guess, a series of unfortunate events so to say..

I mean,

1)the day started with a GAAYYYYY applic investigation(seriously, i didnt even get it, i fudged the numbers up to make it work),

2)next was a gay applic session coz i was in a bad mood, and as usual i dont get applic, so that made it worse..

3) i got annoyed at the calc test that mrs law gave us...

4) the screw of my left lens on my glasses came off, and i lost it making my glasses un-usable until i find a replacement screw..

5)english and physics happened..

6) i found a bit of bird shit on the back of my shirt at lunch..

kinda annoyed me.

HOWEVER, we had a hell fun jap session to end the day. And honestly, it made my day.
we had mrs yoong come in, and as usual, when she comes in the day is always, and i mean ALWAYS fun. we had travel/tour guides with lots of pretty pictures...had fun teasing raymond saying that he's gonna pay for the whole class's jap trip coz according to our jap reading exercise, he(or at least the person he had to be) was 'rich, handsome, and had alot of girlfriends'. hahaha.

so, afterschool we had a nice game of basketball at the stadium before i had to head off to kumon, for the usual routine..

butt, as late as it is, i'm home now. so yayy!! long weekend =]

rainrainrain

2009-02-25T21:18:00.002+09:00

guess what? today it rainneddddd
how random hey? it was like all 40, 40, 40, 40, then cooled down a bit, and then suddenly started raining..

anyway..how did the day start off today..?
mmm..school. oh, well i dont know.
but i do remember that me, alvin and muhua wasted our flexi trying to find a basketball court to play on, and alvin just ended up studying for like 15mins while me and muhua stupidly played big 2.

uhm..outspan was on again, and today we got our outspan badges, presented to us by Mr O'Neil. Then some people got put into groups, i think mary,kim,larry and hui are gonna be in charge of food this year...raymond's in charge of decoration(balloons etc.) and iono, a few other people. And no, just coz i'm outspan 'co-captain' doesnt mean im supposed to know all these things okay :p..or i hope not anyway. hahaha.

Oh, then at lunch we went to WoW (Worship on Wednesday) and had a short, fun game while eating our lunches, then had a short time of talk. Refuel was on later at the food court, and after having a short time together, I moved tables and began study with Mu and Bonnie.. and despite having fun when i'm around them, they somehow at the same time make me feel lonely.. oh well.
People want what they can't have, and get what they dont want. that's just how life is most of the time..

Oh well. i've finished study for today..or as of 8.10 when i got out of tuition anyway. so im just chatting randomly while house is playing on tv (Though im not actually watching it) and am probably gonna go to sleep soon =]

2009-02-21T21:34:00.003+09:00

stretch stretchh...

oh, right. sorry.
yes, im stretching out at the moment..just finished taking a shower after playing ball til like 8.45 at rossy...

yeah. it was uber fun. played like a billion vs a billion, and ended the night with a good 6v6 willo vs rossy game.. and i mean it was UUBERRR fun. alleys, playmaking...long time since we had a good dose of that! and yes, team willo (muhua,alvin,me,sam,wangker,shorty) owned =p
WILLO REPRESENT!! (well..not really.) Oh, and just to make it clear, shorty was pretty hilariously um..mocked. especially by phillip :p

as for this morning, i spent it going to tuition with wilfred and sam(as usual), and then went off to some random home open thing coz my mom wanted to have a look..

Oh, then i went to gateways shopping centre in cockburn to walk around, and bought some tennis balls, a new grip for my worn out tennis racket, and a pair of shoes from betts and betts.
and all that cost me like..$40? I wasnt originally planning on buying shoes since i was broke (juts like how my shoes are broke in half) but I walked into Betts and Betts and saw a 70% off sale. I was like wooo! and saw some shoes from lke 70-80+ down to 17.50, and bought them :p
How asian am I? very. haha. or at least it seems like it =p

By the way, I drove all day today...in MANUAL! woo. I can do it now! just a few more months and i'll be cruisin with the big boys baby! haha. Except..i might get a few fines, coz i've already drove past two red lights today coz i couldnt make up my mind whether to stop or not when the lights turned yellow and kept on braking/unbreaking etc. and ended up going past the red lights =[

YOU NEVER READ THAT LAST PARAGRAPH OKAY? DO NOT REPORT POLICE =_= haha.
not like you have any evidence anyway =]

Oh well, ima head off noww

nanana..

2009-02-18T20:36:00.002+09:00

well today was a pretty interesting day...

started the day with the assembly thing to present the awards to the 2008 students, and was interesting to see what kind of awards they got. OH, funniest thing. some hot chick walked past to get her award, and then you see Justin Mort get all red on the face. like TOMATO RED. hahhaha. me, terry and alvin pissed ourselves laughing so hard coz he was soo totally staring at her XD

funny =p

then we had 15 mins to bum around before second session started, and yes, it was calc...
I had a hard time trying to remember the stuff I did in the holidays, so it was quite gay, but I got refreshed a bi so that's pretty alright. Oh, and surprisingly, mrs law wrote a heap of...good things on my outspan teacher's comment thing =p it was like 'responsible,hard worker, outgoing, friendly, pleasure to teach' and like another whole line of things :P

I was like, 'wow, I used to be like the naughtiest kid in her class in yr8 on par with justin. surprising.' haha.

Hmm, then we had outspan meeting at TG til recess, and we had the captain vote things. Three female nominees were Mary, Luvena and Hui May. We voted Mrs Quakernaat's way (ie. vote, lowest person gets erased, then revote between the last two). And unfortunately for Hui she missed out on female captain by only 2 votes. Luvena-16 Hui 14. But what happens, happens I guess.

Oh, and yes, I got captain too.. no comment. I jut wanted to make the most of my last year of high school as I've probably mentioned a billion times, and I felt this was one way I could do so, I went for it..and was lucky =]

Hmm... what next.
Oh, me and Jacky had a little chat about how we both wanted to get some kind of footage of a day, or week at our school, so one day when we're older we can look back on it..whether it be a documentary or whatever. Yes, I'm really into this whole 'cherish high school' thing arent I...

But yes, he's getting a camera sometime soon (or is planning to) so we shall see what happens.

Anyway, played a bit of bball after school, and studied at the food court with muhua (joined by bonnie a little later), and then had tuition til...about 40mins ago =]]

2009-02-17T18:45:00.002+09:00

badaboomm!!

anyway, another wordy post, here i come! =]

SCHOOL PHOTOS. bahahaha. i think thats what everyone thought of when they first woke up today. dontcha think? =] Today was THE day that (most) people actually bother trying to look good when they went to school. I mean, you see girls that usually never have their hair down have their hair down, curl it, whatever. then the boys boys who never do their hair do up their hair...all sorts of 'interesting' things :p

and yeah, our english class was like waiting to be called for photos, and muhua and i were thinking 'we get called by class for photos?'. so like the whole class waited, then it was like 9.30, and the teacher was like 'well, it's time. maybe you've gotta take your photos second session or something.' and guess what, just when everyone is standing and packing up, a kid walks in the door telling us we got photos now =p

and unfortunately, we spent 10mins waiting in line to get our photos taken, missing out on calculus instead of english...GAYY. but still okay! (hey, that rhymed. haha.)

Ooh, had WOT at lunch today..(for those of you who dont know, it's Worship on Tuesday/thursday, just a time where us fellow christians can get together in the school =] ) and i came to applic like 5mins late coz of it. however, dr kaur is nice so she didnt mind :)

hmm, my lack of study finally hit me in the face today, and i think i've found my studying motivation now, so hopefully everything from now on will be uphill =] So, because of that, went to library today til 4.15 and began catching up on the applic work i was supposed to do last week but didnt do coz i didnt know. yes, im a bad student =p

but yeah, got to re-live my 'study with muhua and laugh your ass off at each other's lame jokes at the library' moments which we had like, every tuesday last year (coz of bball), so great fun. I'm probably gonna proceed with my initial plan (as of last year) to go library everyday, so at least then i wont get too distracted by the stuff around my home. Although, fridays i have kumon so i wont go then...

Well, headed off to kumon today..since..a long time. needed to grab my booklets and stuff. Oh, and Mrs Mayes read my mind. proposed to start working on my jap speech for this year, just when i was about to ask whether we could start it, so thats good. Needa start translating it this weekend before I get crammed with chem test and calc+applic investigations next week =]

Anyway, i wont babble on any longer..I'm going out soon for dinner in vic park VERY soon..or like..now =p

2009-02-16T19:06:00.002+09:00

im actually surprised at the fact that school's started, and though this blog was supposed to be dead, I'm actually posting more than I did in the holidays.maybe it's procrastination..or just boredom in it's simplest form. meh!

hrmm..today was pretty normal-ish day. woke up early and finally started exercising again as I promised myself I would uhm.. a long while ago =p hopefully I can throw away a few more kg's..
well, whatever.

hrmm, took the 707 today, and saw Alicia. Had fun chatting about the randomest things while we bussed/walked to school...especially been a while since we've really talk talked since she's always with the other asian group and all. And i found out something...funny (to me anyway). BUT, i shall not mention it :p

school school...another day yet again passes. recess was just the usual. chat, chill, eat any random food that fills the stomach. And as for classes, nothing interesting really happened. We were supposed to make 'music' by blowing test tubes with varying amounts of water in physics during first session, but that was uber fail, coz nobody could make a proper/pure note (we checked using the frequency thingo).

well, that's it really. english was quite a funny session, and apparrently we get our tasks tomorrow or wednesday, and get to take it home to annatate before the proper assessment days(thursday and friday). which means like free 2 sessions in class to write plus unlimited time at home for notes/pre-essay writing instead of 1 hour noting, 1 hour writing in class.

i guess i should go off now...shouldnt babble on too much :)
hopefully i've successfully killed a few minutes of your time :D

p.s. school photos tomorrow. bahhaha. 'last chance to perfect your school photo' as alicia says :p

2009-02-13T20:36:00.002+09:00

weww pewpeww..

and im home!

oh, and yes, the long awaited project happened today! free hugs day mission complete :D haha.
so after spending..iono, a while making our free hug shirts on sunday, and finishing it off on monday, the day came, and yes, i counted quite a few hugs :p

the facebook event says a person needs 8 hugs a day to be happy or something. so what happens when you receive like 40+? am i supposed to be like superduper jumping for joy at the moment? haha. anyways, yeah.

the day started off eating maccers with nick coz he said yesterday that he hasnt eaten it for a while. next was the walk to school, and first hug - dezmi! :p haha. i think she was a bit embarressed at first, but whateverr!! it's okay, i got more afterwards =p

mm..applic and calc was next, and surprisingly i was regarded a 'reliable student'..well enough to handle the 'big amount of money' inside the envelope which was for the victorian thingo..

mm..recess came, and got a few hugs there too, and alot of stares and such, and a few random year 8's too who looked very excitingly fascinated by the shirt. oh, and yes to you people i did give the present here, and no, nothing special happened so dont get all high.

anyway, lunch was similar thing, and then last session was jap! surprisingly cassidy didnt care that i didnt put on my school uniform and just asked me "so, why is it free hugs today?" and i just said "er, i was told it was free hugs day today so i just made a shirt" "oh, i see." haha. Oh, and also, i was supposed to go find dopson and give him a hug too, but he was in some other classroom so i cbb. Althoughh, i did run there after school and just yelled out "Dopson!!" and jumped in front of the door doing his usual double thumbs up thing.... and you juts see his priceless face staring and he's just like "oh no..". haha. but i didnt end up hugging him. i think he was scared of my awesomeness *Cough cough* bahahaha.

city was afterwards...nothign much really happened..just played pb, got a few more hugs from randoms, and yeah, that was pretty much it! eden came pretty late, so we didnt really end up spending much time with her, but anyway, that was pretty much my dayy.....not TOO exciting.

oh well, Happy Valentines Day for everyone tomorrow =]

badaboom!!

2009-02-12T19:23:00.003+09:00

lalala...
another day comes and goes..

oh well. anyway, today, the plan is...GET NEW TV! :D

or i hope so anyway. the tv at my dad's house is broken.
so, soon enough after my dad eats we're gonna go somewhere, and have a look, and hopefully we'll get a tv. although honestly i dont care, coz i only watch tv once a month if im lucky anyway =p

nevertheless, went for a bike ride to riverton forum today with daniel. got a card, and nice wendy's flake shake (which i havent had in yonks!) and chilled for a while. Ooh, we saw eden there too. apparrently she was shopping for her dad's bday party or something.

anyway, you're probably wondering why i went to rivo instead of getting card from southies. it was coz some SHORTY kept on insisting i didnt get a card...and also coz of the fact that all the valentines cards they had there were like on the display OUTSIDE, and it looks kinda dodgy picking them out when everyone's watching. AAND coincidentally 'she' passed aswell while we were in front of thingz, and i told larry "and THAT is why you dont go card-picking on the display rack outside the shop. " >_> certain PEOPLE see it..

oh well, im just boredly chatting now, and waiting for my dad to eat so we can hurry up and go already =]

lalala

2009-02-10T20:40:00.002+09:00

school, day...wow, 7 now already?

todaytodaytoday.. man, what DID happen today? *thinks*

oh right. morning..as usual, woke up did this and that, got ready etc..
hmm..got to school..OH! it's Artie's birthday today! yesyes, i found out when i was at the lockers..
she came as usual, and after the usual greetings, she was like "guess what? i'm seventeen today!! weee!" and yeah, of course I Happy Birthday-ed her! and...gave her my leavers jumper form :D

Speaking of which, I tried my jumper sizes on today, and man, I managed to fit in an S! actually, i fitted an XS, it was just a tad short, so i decided to go for an S..and suprisingly somehow, that means that I'm the same size as hui o_o.. yes, suprising huh?

And iono about larry, but their sizes only go to 2XS, so iono if he's gonna manage to find anything which is as short as him :p ahhahaha. jokingjoking.

hmm, and outspan meeting was announced today, and i just figured that like literally half the asian population in year 12 wants to join it this year, so i reckon that's gonna be pretty exciting!
although me and larry are still thinking what we should do.. >_>

I mean, i rmb in ATP in year 9 where he suggested we sing a song, and let the people choose what song by getting them to like tick from a certain list, but iono how that's gonna turn out man :p

hmm, suggestions people?

2009-02-08T21:48:00.002+09:00

weww, im blardy deadd...

church @ 9.30-11, city from 11.20-5.30, basketball from 5.45 til 8.45, dinner at 9.30.

if that doesnt tire you, then you're retarded =p
nah just kidding. i'm not that mean.. *evilgrinn* :D

hmm..so phangy and i met up with jasmine around 11.30, and went walk around at myer...and coincidence! bonnie and muhua..stalking me. bahha jkjk. we were supposed to meet up with them somewhere, we just didnt know where yet =p but yeah, finally found the exact dress shirt i wanted, after spending soo long trying to find a shop which had that color. Also confirmed my suit rental at brittons, and got my tie, so im pretty much all set! :D oh, and eden met up with us at brittons too...

anyway, phangy wanted to find his suit, and after a long hassle, i THINK he finally picked one..or something. and by then the "lets find a dress for emily" group was there, and after walking a bit and trying to force emily to actually get IN the damn shop, me phangy and eden split from the group. So we had some food (they got subway, i just had some sushi) while chilling at the steps in front of the post office @ forrest chase, then headed off to target to get our white shirts for...reasons yet to be announced :p

Last of all, finally got to get my something for someone for sometime (after spending all day looking here and there), and then me and eden went to state library for a bit to continue our 'project'.

Anyway, after library closed, we headed back to BC station, and my sister was there to drop me off straight to blue gum to play bball with the boys from the indo church, and now im here typing this darn blog which i announced was supposed to be dead.

THE END :D

rawr

2009-02-07T22:25:00.004+09:00

yes, im going friggin crazy.
crazily retarded.

anyway, today i went shopping with the boyss! got a lil touch with our feminine side ;)
bahaha. not really, especially since we were shopping for SUITS =_= or at least trying them on anyway.

yes, fancy going to literally every suit shop in city, looking for a nice looking suit. Phangy, Wei Jer, Nick, Sam, Daniel and I went all the way from roger david, to man-to-man, brittons formalwear, platinum, david jones, tony barlow, and gosh, where else could you think of?

i tried like a billion differrent suits, and probably couldn't notice the differrence between them besides the price tag. no, honestly. but then again that's probably why my mom told me not to BUY the suit until she's looked at it >_> I mean, she was an alterationist, so it helps a crapload when she's there =p

but yeah, was quite tiring, repetitive, but i eventually i ended up calling my mom and telling her to come coz i didnt wanna waste my time just staring at suits anymore. so after a while she came and met us at roger david, and i showed her a couple of suits that i like from there, and other places too. unfortunately, i couldnt show her the really nice one from tony barlow coz they closed early, but we decided not to get it anyway coz they didnt actually SELL that particular design, only rental. BUUT im getting a better one tomrrow anyway, so all is good! =]

now i just needa find a shirt, and go grab myself the nice tie i saw at brittons tomorrow.

the end.

p.s. we had hainan chicken rice from newtons circle at the level 3 foodcourt = goooddd =]

and yes, i wont emo anymore in this post. i think i've annoyed enough people with my 'personal...problems'..=X

なにをしたらいい？

2009-02-03T20:50:00.004+09:00

さあ、これから　何を　したら　いい？

僕は　ボールのため　デートが　ほしいけど、　何か　しても、僕の　好きな　人は　その　夢を　"fulfill"できない。

なぜ？　”人々と　先生たちによって　友達と　ボールに　行くと、その日と　その　友達の　"relationship"は　悪くなる。だから、ごめんね。”と　彼女が　言った。

どうする？！僕は　いったい　何を　したら　いい？　僕は　もう　彼女に　愛を　知らせて、　その上に、いままで　もう　長い時間　待っていた。だが、　彼は　まだ　友達だけでも　僕と　ボールに　行きたくない！それは　いいか？？。。*sigh*

今、かなしいよ。本当に、かなしい。

でも、僕と　彼女との　"friendship"は　もっと　よくなったから。。その　ために　僕は　うれしく　なったほうがいいでしょう。。ね？

さあ、これから　がんばろう。。

2009-02-01T11:57:00.003+09:00

And once again, another update..which will somewhat announce the rest of this blog, until further notice :)

yes, i mentioned when i reawakened this blog that it'd probably only be alive til year 12 starts, and it's starting tomorrow, so i guess this is where this blog dies again, until i find alot of free time =]

And no, this is not a farewell, just a see you next time! hehe.

Oh well. I shall bum around at home today, as I await the beginning of a brand new year of high school - it's last.

High school started too late, and is finishing too early.
It only started getting fun last year =[

Maybe it's because that was when our asian groups kinda mended together, and us boys started doing something other than playing basketball. But also i guess coz we just all matured so much socially, and academically (as kim said a long while ago). Made so many new friends last year, and got even closer to others. Truly a great year it was..

Well, let's go and make the most of this last year, and see what the future holds :)
この　気持ちは　愛でしょう。

long lost..friend?

2009-01-15T17:20:00.003+09:00

yes, long lost friend. not long lost brother/sister =p

any of you ever had one? or should i say, found one?

Yeah, yesterday was the JJJ party (Janelle/Jacky/Jason Tan). 'twas at Janelle's house, and there was like..56 people or something. But too bad only a few people knew others, so there were tons of little groups, and it kinda didn't really mix very well. Although other than that, it kept me entertained, so that's party enough for me!=]

But anyway, a few weeks ago some Shannon Lai guy added me on facebook.
I was like "uh..random, but okay" and added him, not knowing who he was..and yes, no replies or anything when i posted on his wall. Anyway, turns out he was at the party yesterday, and then Michelle was like "Hey Chris, Shannon's says he wants to meet u".

So by now, I'm thinking, "alright, i might actually find out who this dude is", and we shake hands and he's like "Hey, I'm Shannon, I don't know if you remember, but we met at Applecross Pre-primary". Yes, my brain froze. I thought for a split second, and HOLY BEEPPP!! HE WAS! HE WAS MY ULTIMATE BEST MATE THERE! and i was just standing there in Janelle's room with a few other people with hands on my head, just saying "HOLY BEEP OMGGG" like a billion times.

but yes, I CANT BELIEVE HE REMEMBERED ME! I remember his mom came to my sis' newsagency a couple weeks ago while i was working, and my mom was like "yeah, do you remember, that's Shannon's mom, from pre-primary", but I really never thought that i'd actually see HIM again. Wow. just wow.

Anyway, we had a chat that night, but then he went somewhere or something and then yeah. But dude, long lost friendd =p 11 FULL years since we met, can't beat that!..not when you're barely 16 anyway. haha.

those playing-in-the-sand-pit days..and those where you'd hammer/nail pieces of wood that they had at the back together and make remotes and other imaginary things.Wow.

manduRAHH!!

2009-01-06T19:25:00.007+09:00

yeapp, just got back from mandurah an hour ago =]

Anyway, we all went coz Jason's parents had treated us.
It was because they decided to have a overnight stay at Quest Mandurah for the Utopia staff, but luckily we were invited too :)

The day started off when us boys met up at cockburn central, to signed cards for the gifts we got for Hui and Jason's mum, and of course to catch the train to mandurah. Not bad..30min trip, for around $2.30 from bullcreek station =]

(check out our guitars! haha. yupp! we went busking at the train station =p haha. kidding!)

When we got to Mandurah station, it was about a 15min wait til we got picked up, and we were dropped off straight to Centro Mandurah where all the fun began! yayy!

Had lunch there at some japanese place. Most of us ordered Chicken Katsu, which was actually really nice. Just a bit expensive thats all. Unfortunately, Jason and Jack couldnt eat..why?i dont know =/ *cough*vegeterian*cough* =p haha.

Afterwards we crashed at some stores, played guitar hero..

bought poker chips for the night...

have a fun look around at game world and its perverted stuff...>_>

..and chilled at the cafe! =]

So the next stop was Reading Cinema's, where we were supposed to go watch Yes Man, but unfortunately they didnt have another screening til 6.30pm that day...

So deciding that we werent gonna wait another 3 hours to watch the movie, we went to the beach/seaside to meet up with jason's mum and get the keys for the room, and off we headed to our beloved hotel! =]

Ooh, it was actually the same place that my family and I stayed at for Christmas '07.. Quest Mandurah. We had a nice 3 bedroom apartment all to ourselves, and of course outside was alot of other, similar looking apartments, a nice pool, small lawn area, and a riverview, where we could see the mansions of the people whose jetty's were but 50m away from us >_>

Anyway, dinner came, and it was a BBQ along the poolside. Although us boys who had been swimming for a few hours were already out and dry, it was still a nice place. Cool breeze, nice sunset...the list goes on. Oh, and yes, the food we ate was 99% vegetarian. ie. fake sausages etc.."hot dogs" =p

Hui's brother dared me to jump into the river for 10 bucks...and i actually did it =p even though it was all green and yucky, we got video footage. haha. yeapp!! thats $10 right there! go mee *victory dance* lol. funfun.

So after a while i got in, took a shower to was off the riverwater, and then our night began. The boys (except me) all played a couple of games of cards, then soon after we proceeded with murder in the dark, and then truth or dare.Yeapp, quite boring. no interesting questions or dares were given out, but enough to keep us entertained..haha.

below: proof that we were utopia-sponsored XD haha.

So the night ended after we had all strummed our guitars, and listened to random funny-ass asian conversations on james' phone, and played truth or dare! nothing really interesting happened coz nobody could think of any fun dares, NOR questions to ask..so it was kinda fail.
but nevertheless, pictures!!

chris: put your head on floor til end of next round
jack:put your head on chris' til end of next round
daniel:put your foot on jack's head til end of next round.
bahaha. fail =p

hold hands!! <3 rofl.

hug each other til end of next round! XD

chris: "larry, i dare you to shove 2 of those chocolates up your nose til end of round and eat them!"
larry:"omg ur gonna die!!...AHHH THEY'RE MELTINGG!!!"

and i suffer karma =]

splits til next round!

suck your big toe for 2 mins =_=

And just when the thought of sleep came to our minds, we went to our rooms at 3am, but it was another 1:45hours till we (me,sam,larry,jordan) actually slept. haha. we were supposed to be in seperate rooms, but we were all up having our guy talks in our rooms, and after a load of laughter and farts (larry >_>) sam and jordan ended up moving their mattresses in me and larry's room =p

The last day eh..so after 3 hours of sleep, i was up at 7.45 for a swim at the pool yet again, did a few laps, chilled in the spa and so forth. I came back to the dorm around 9, and knocked on the door for a few minutes...but nobody was awake so i was trapped >_>..until of course, i went around the back and knocked on the glass door muhua was sleeping next to! haha. i woke him up, yes, but i had to get in!

After a nice breakfast of instant noodles, eggs, fake vegetarian meat, and a load of washing up, us boys went to reading cinema's again and watched our movie, Yes Man. We came and bought our tickets. We thought we had to go through the line of 100people queue to get in, but luckily that line was only for Bolt. So we were able to cut the line and get let striaght in to our cinema. Yeapp, yes man was a HILARIOUS movie! it was actually alot better than i expected! =]]

Next was back to the hotel, to laze around, and then eventually to have bbq lunch, again at the poolside. This time, with a LOT of meat. So after this and that, sam, larry and I headed home about 5 coz we either had work or just didnt wanna stay the extra night at mandurah..

And this hence forth, is how our mandurah trip ended!

yummehh!!

2009-01-04T16:21:00.002+09:00

Anyone been to Pizza Bella Roma in freo?
coz if you havent, you suck :)

I went again with fam last night, and once again i say that it is THE BEST italian restaurant in perth!

i was a pig and ate...most of the two dishes i ordered coz i couldnt make up my mind whether to order pasta or not.

anyway, i ended up ordering:

Chicken Pasta = pasta + sliced chicken breast, lightly panfried + mushrooms+broccoli+light cream sauce

Panzerotto De Pollo = THE nicest dish i've ever tasted so far!

okay, i havnt got a pic to tease you all with, but here's basically what the panzerotto de pollo is. Chicken breast, stuffed with ham and cheese + white wine cream sauce and your choice of chips/salad/spaghetti.

well you'd be stupid not to eat it with chips, but i still can NOT get over how nice it was!
*drools*

anyway, i reckon we should all go eat there sometime, i mean chrissy already knows of that place and is in love with it too, but other reasons why?

their pizzas = awesome
they have like perth's best garlic bread = awesome
uber nice food = awesome
me = awesome!

lol.
rating 5/5 restaurant. if i could rate it higher i would =]
(Btw, its like two doors nextdoor to timezone in freo)

Happy New Year! =]]

2009-01-01T08:49:00.003+09:00

Well '09 is here people, so i'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year!

it's gonna be a big year for most of us..why?
- Year 12 -> TEE =_=
- School Ball
- Deciding what you wanna do in uni
- Applying for scholarships etc. for uni >_>
- Woot P's..in another WHOLE year.. *sigh*
- and alot of other crap which i forgot the moment i started writing this. hopeless.
- Enjoy our last year of high school life =[

So, any new years resolutions?
I havent gotten any...coz i just havnt been bothered thinking
maybe you'd like to share? haha. cbox is theree ->>

ooh, well i've finished working now. yesterday was my last day at my sister's newsagent. today's a public holiday, tomorrow we're shut, and im not working starting from next week! woot =D

so no more work for me til the end of the year.
speaking of which, i've still got my jap trip planned, and im looking for people to come if too, just as a leavers thing. I might actually be going to other countries too though, maybe transit in singapore, which means i can bus to KL, and then go japan or something.

mm..jap chicks..
oh oops. =]

So, Anyone interested going on the trip? I'd probably need to start making bookings etc. mid year or something >_>

i know nick will want to go seeing his comments on facebook about getting jap chicks from the front. haha. =_=

it's gonna be funfunfunn~!

Happy Birthdayy!!!

2008-12-15T23:57:00.014+09:00

to mee =DD...and larry for 3 mins from now

well for those who didn't know, didn't come, or who weren't here *cough*alvin,luvena,kim,mary,eliza,yulin,etc.*cough*, me and larry had an AWESOME sweet 16th bdayy :D hahhaa. yeah, we planned to have a combined party sinec yr 9, but didn't happen til this year =p

so how'd it all start?

1) Wake up at 7 in the morning and make all the baguettes for lunch >_>

the varieties?
- chicken,lettuce,cheese with our without mayo
- ham, cheese, tomato
- curried egg, lettuce, and random extra egg

yummy hey? :D
i wonder how the curried egg turned out. it was made "Chris style" according to Larry..ie. get lots of diced boiled eggs, curry powder, mayo, and mix it all in the mayo jar. haha. yeap, we concluded that i'd NEVER work in hospitality! :p

especially since i picked up the supersharp bread knife (yes, it was global brand) and cut the bread in my hand. why you ask? was it to intentionally cut my hand while cutting the bread? probably not, but it happened XD

oh, daniel and larry came to help out around 9, and raymond around 10.

2) Go to Bullcreek station with a tank 1.5m long eski and another one filled with baguettes!
the plan was to meet at 12, and nobody was actually really late..i think everyone was there about 12.10, with exception of eden who's bus was late, and cathy who thought it was 12.30 =_=

anyway, after ling and larissa got rejected by the train(yeapp, it shut right in their faces XD), they waited with me,larry and daniel for james, who we thought was waiting or us at murdoch station..but was apparrently held up by his parents and just ended up meeting us at cotts around 3. (yes, an extra half hour spent at bc station right there :P)

3) meet up with the other 20+ asians again at esplanade

yeapp!! finally met up with everyone here (Except james >_>) and then together we headed off to platform E to catch the 102 to cottesloe. oh, and if you ever wanted to see the bus get raided with asians, now was your time. we ended up taking nearly every seat int he whole bus, except maybe 3? and gosh, it took quite a while for us to tag on. seroiusly. "beep, beep, beep beep beep" was all you could hear for like mins. hahaha.

4) Beach it at cottesloe! and have lunch =D
here we goo, more photos =]]
had a great time..swimming, rugby, lunch etc.

Daniel:AHH ITS CHRIS'S CURRIED EGG!!
Me: "what?!"*turns around*

^the lovely "face-the-wall-so-you-dont-fall-backwards" crowd =p

what did we do?
- have lunch :D
- chuck larry in the sea (props to me,phangy and nick =p)
- sand fights (yes, i ended up owning 10+ people in one go, while getting a stupid red mark on my left nipple coz
daniel and sam chucked the sand so hard)
- rugbyy!! YEAHH!!
- watch jasmine go crazy trying to get the sand which eden put in her cleavage out =_= *shudders*
- laugh at the two lumps of sand which jacky and i unintentionally crafted and put eden's shirt over. (no, we are
NOT perverted okay. it just happened)
- randomly meet up with justin/kylie/michael, who apparently were "too busy to come" on that day =_=
- laugh at janelle who kept getting knocked by 7 or so waves continuosly, and couldn't even stand up properly XD

and im sure i could name a billion other things that happened :) FUNNNNN!

5) RAID THE TRAIN BACK TO MY PLACE! =D
yeah, we bus-ed it back to esplanade, and took up like half the train carriage fitting us asians in there. seriously, look -->

oh, and janessa insisted on taking the bus to my place themselves, and guess what. they got off like 12 stops too late and had to walk a few km jus to get here. NOOOBSS. all for like an extra 15mins of "happy time" together, even though they already had 6 alone. haha.

well when we arrived at my place, everybody started showcasing their piano skills, and sean, yes, stoner sean ting (lol) was suprisingly hardcore. fuudgee maannnn. maybe he was high and suddenly was able to play hk piano in his hallucination? haha just kidding. but seriously hey, that guy is pro

anyway, had an AWESOME dinner which my mom cooked (me and my sis helped the prep on sat...took like 3hours =_=) but it was hella worth it.

the menu?
- ikan bilis / anchovies & nuts, whatever u wanna call it
- balado egg & tofu (you damn un-asians couldnt take the spice. WEAKKK)
- mee gorengg(no, not packeted mee goreng, REAL mee goreng. =p
- chicken vindaloo!!
- rice. haha. how is asian food asian without rice?

yeah, i had to cater for a vegetarian, a halal-ian, mayo+egg+peanut allergies + non-beef eater. but we managed!

well muhua ate 5 plates, i ate 1. surely he didnt eat much more than me right? :p *Sarcasm*
well its good, at least everyone was full...or overfull! XD

anyway, we got a group photo going, except too bad that hui,jasmine and sherilyn didnt come over, and bonnie had to leave earlier.

^so stupid. my sister was like "okay, 1, 2, 3!" and sean randomly yells out in his stoned voice "4!!!" hahahahha. everyone pissed themselves laughing =p 'tis always fun having a comedian isnt it? or should i say a stoner? XD

afterwards the boys went to play a little vortex in the backyard though it was pretty dark, and luckily no groin shots happened..that im aware of anyway =p

afterwards, the chicks went inside to begin the wii-ing session, which the boys took over and continued til 5.30am. hahaha.CRAZYY!!

we quickly went to cut the cake afterwards, and had to cut like 32 slices =p larry had fun, while i just watched him..both of us wearing the twin T-shirts which Jason & Vennesa bought us =D

When the mosquito's started biting, we all went in, and everyone pretty much continued what they were doing before, while larry and I spent our night learning how to guitar with the help of others(go sam,james,ray and janelle!! =]]). i think larry fell in love with the new epiphone that he got that day for his birthday from like..all of us, while i was still happy enough playing on my sister's old classical. well i was happy enough! i got a heap of presents from everyone. some random, some weird, cool, but nevertheless GREAT! =]

anyway, pretty much everyone was gone by 11, except for the boys who slept over:
- Wangker =p (Jason W)
- Jason Tan
- James Wong
- Larry
- Muhua
- Sean
- Raymond
- Jordan
- Sam (left at like 2 coz of sore throat)
- Wilfred

As i said before, we all stayed up til about 5.30 in the morning. Most of them were either msn-ing, guitaring, pianoing, or mario-carting on the wii til 4, and then we all watched some movie (cant remembee the name) til about 5.30. except me. i kinda fell asleep 20mins into it. haha.

Oh, and larry got pissed when we drew on his face when he fell asleep while we were still wii-ing (weeing? XD), despite the fact he said about an hour before "whoever falls asleep first gets drawn on >=D" . go me. hahaha.

morning came, and i woke up to the sound of an annoying-ass alarm which i forgot was on, and ended up snatching larry's camera and photo-ing everyone while they were asleep. haha. i got a couple videos of little jason and willy snoring their asses off too, although by then everyone was awake coz they were snoring so loud! haha.

well, that's pretty roughly how the day went. why bother blogging? memories i guess (: i wanna remember that day for..as long as i can remember. it was probably the funnest day i've experienced so far, despite the fact it cost a couple hundred to get it all going, but hey, you can't put a price on good memories aye?

おひさしぶり～

2008-12-12T19:21:00.001+09:00

well, its been a few days since i last posted on here..

anyway, today went to school assembly...hmm got awards for Jap and 6 A's, and surprisingly quite a few changes to the subject dux-es occurred. Michelle got her goal of duxing Art and Design, and chong didn't get his cooking dux(i guess his cooking sucks now huh? :p jk) and malcolm didnt get GnT...although wilfred got like 6 diff awards.. (physics,chemistry,physical science,gnt, 5 A's, and some other crap.)

afterwards went cityy with hui,jasmine,sherilyn,vivian,phangy,sam,jason tan,jacky,daniel and nick went to Mr Samurai to eat their super cheap yet nice food (despite the fact half the people were complaining they were sick of jap food), and then us boys went GG except nick, coz he was going beaching with the chicks.

had a good hour of lan (i havnt touched a computer game in looong time mann)..played cs and COD4. oh, and guess what. after an hour of GG we (at least i was) already hungry, so went to takas and ate fish katsuu =33

mr samurai: value for money 10/10, taste 8-9/10
takas: value for money 9.5/10, taste 9-9.5/10

YUMMAYYYYY!!!

Winnerr!!

2008-12-08T20:08:00.003+09:00

yes, im just here to announce that im a winnerr, or was one on saturday at least.

oh, for those of you who don't know, 92.9 was holding an event at the Joondalup Shopping Centre
.For every purchase at the shopping centre that day over $10, you get one raffle ticket to go in their barrel, and then every 9.29 minutes between 10am and 1pm they will pull out a name, and that person will receive $100 (i think its $100 gift voucher for joondalup shopping centre).

so anyway, i went there with two of my sisters, mum and niece nice and early in the morning, and bought my niece a pair of goggles. then we were waiting for the event to start so we could hand in our receipt for $9.99 (yes, it was supposed to be over $10 purchase. haha) but everyone left for aroma cafe, so i ended up waiting for 92.9 instead.

but anyway, i handed in my receipt thing, and there was about 5-6 people there, and i left for Aroma Cafe. Then one of my sis brought our receipt from Aroma Cafe in to 92.9, and while she was filling in the raffle ticket, MY NAME GOT CALLED OUT!! WOOTT! i was like CMONN!! 100bucks! woot =D (well 50, since it was my sisters purchase/receipt, so she agreed on 50/50-ing with me since i qued up for the 6-people line :p)

anyway, they were like "Chris Ong from Parkwood" and im like HUZZAHH! first draw of the day. yes, not many people had put in their raffle tickets int he first 9.29 minutes after 10am, so my chances of winning were high. (come on, its just basic introcalc? :p hahahah)

so anyway, im just writing here to brag about that and be a faggot =p

snapsnapp~!!

2008-12-05T20:17:00.000+09:00

i spent today... being the paparazzi for SunLeung. loll.jkjk =p but i did take quite alot of photos >_>;; ill upload them later.

So, EXAM MARKS!! woo! i got them all back today. so happy =]] hard work DOES pay off people! lol. especially that involved in waiting HALF AN HOUR FOR KIMM!!!

kim: "meet at front gate @ 11"
me: "ok"
*me arrives at 10.45*
*checks watch, 11:05*
kim's sms: "yo ill be late about 10mins or so"
me: "cheh, okay."
*checks watch, 11:20*
yulin,bonnie, muhua, willy and james wong show up
*bonnie calls kim*
kim: "yeah, im leaving house now, ill be there in 3mins"
*kim arrives*
*checks watch: "11:26"*
everyone: ".... *begins slow applause*"

SIGHHH lool. anyway, its all good. we had a good time having lunch at caro and raiding teachers at school to see our exam marks =p

speaking of which, im pretty sure bonnie and yulin don't ever wanna eat next to me again. they were the two people i was sitting next to, and the only two people i was laughing at XD hahaha.
not my fault bonnie had bloody long ass onions in her kebab and couldnt eat them properly...seriously. she was like trying to slurp it up like you would with spaghetti or noodles, except there was just awkward head-nodding, and no real slurping! rofll! and then yulin's spring rolls were just falling apart as she was trying to eat them.
NOTE: TRYING to eat them. hahahha.

oh, and kim asked for alot of parmesan cheese when she ordered her pasta from aroma, apparrently coz she thought the guy was really asian and wouldnt give much, and apparrently he just kept on shaking the shaker. shoulda seen her plate. it was like, Cheese with pasta, not pasta with cheese. LOL

anyway, being cheapskate, went to woolies to buy water, then randomly walked around for a bit, and went to JB Hi-Fi. i swear the people were just staring at us asians who happened to be raiding the anime section..and making fun of the retardedly perverted anime chicks on the covers which had breasts bigger than their heads. i mean, what the heck =_= and no, i was NOT perving.

OOHOHOH loool. so funny. we saw kim's bro at the foodcourt, then he went back to work soon after..but then as we were walking towards JB Hi-Fi from Nitty Gritty or whatever it's called, we saw him at the dell stand thing(that's where he works), and then kim's like "Stop Facebooking!" and we're all like "LOL!FACEBOOK!", and then we finally see what's on the massive 27" screen. no, it wasnt facebook.MANGAAAA!!! HAHAHHAAH. and he was like "shhh!". mannn. like brother like brother huh? (yes, on the bus back we concluded kim was a guy. or at least muhua did when he said "oh, was that guy at the dell stand his brother? *pointing at kim*" and then threatening to chop Kim's dick off for smacking his head. loollll..)

bleh. was so sleepy but still went to kumon. felt really unproductive there =/ anyway im gonna go play a bit of ball now. hopefully the other randoms at the park are already gone, if not then i cant =_=

workk~

2008-12-05T09:20:00.004+09:00

hmm..been spending the last two days working at sis' newsagent in city
been reliving the past again (yeah, i used to work there from yr 8-10).

you know, the city is quite interesting. you get to meet many differrent kind of people. rich, super rich, super DUPER rich, poor, hobos, slackers, "i-cant-be-stuffed-talking"-ers, and many weirdly rude people.

i mean there was this one time on wed, and cmon its like lunch time and there's a billion people in the shop, and i didnt know who was next so i went to serv this chick which was in front of the counter. then my mom's telling me that this other lady was first, and i look at her and she's all waving her arms across to my face like that damn flop emoticon XD and im like ookay, so i walk to her instead and leave the chick i was orginally gonna serve, and she goes, "No its alright, go serve the young pretty lady first!". *speechless*

I'm like what the heck mannn, how rude do you wanna be? i just served whoever i saw was waiting =_= but i didn't really take it personally coz that "young pretty lady" was like 20+, so it was kind of a stupid remark anyway. well that chick ended up yelling out "gee, someone's a bit pissed!" to that lady when they both left the store, so i just laughed. hahaha.

anyway, going to go to school once again today. hopefully get all my exam results =]]

haiz, so many people leaving for m'siaa..even my dad's going >_> i wanna go too!!

oh damn. also i went to the japanese consulate on wednesday to ask about scholarships and stuff for uni, and apparrently for that monbukagakusho scholarship which i really wanna get/apply for only picks one person per state...and sometimes they dont even pick ANYONE, depending on the standards. im like nooo *heartbroken* lol. my jap chicks!! hahaha. jkjk. but i really wanna go to japan hey =/ but anyway, just try my best, and if God wills then i'll go =]

mm..jap chicks *drools.* LOL okayokay ill stopp. hahahha.

busybusy~!

2008-12-02T20:33:00.022+09:00

Happy Birthday to Mu-Hua for yesterday!

no, I didn't forget, I just didn't blog yesterday (:

Anywho's, this weekend was pretty packedd!

after the events which I blogged about before on sat, i went to church on sunday morning, went to MuHua's house at 12, and stayed there overnight, til monday morning. Then early in the morning, went to meet up with church boys + rossy people to go iceskating, and then went straight to city to meet up with SunLeung etc. for Karaokeee...woww.. >_>

So, as I was saying, we were at Mu's house all sunday night. Was originally supposed to be a LAN party, but nobody brought computers, so we just did whatever. Alvin came into the house with the new basketball which he and I bought for muhua, still in the box, and apparrently Mu didnt realise and thought Alvin bought a new basketball and was like "woah nice alvin, bought new ball?" haha. fail XD

After that, we went and played pingpong, or smack-each-other-pong if you wanna call it. hahaha. "see who can hit the other people on the table most during a game of pingpong" was the rule. First to get hit 3 times gets off the table, the waiting player goes in. In the end, Alvin cracked 2 balls (wow, that sounds awkward >_>) and luckily nobody got injured...except maybe Sam who ran into the wall trying to dodge an incoming ball, and also falling on his ass not long after that XD hahaha. sorry Sam, but those moments just have to be posted on here! :p

Not long after, James came around, and we all played basketball at the nearby primary school. oh, and one thing EXAMS MAKE YOU UNFITT!!!..or maybe it's coz I've been binge-inig this past month and have been eating maccers 3x a week, nando's once a fortnight, icecreram everyday, and alot of other bad food? :p I think that contributed didnt it..*guilty* but damn, food is nice =/

Anyway, back at mu's for BBQ dinner, a bit of msn, shower, and cards til 2:30am!! and damn is playing "SNAP!" funn! haha. especially late at night, coz everyone's all sleepy and reaction time is so slow its funny (not pointing anyone out. ALVIN! hahaha. just kidding :p) but yeah, alot of laughs, funny moments (like not snapping until a full 5 seconds of staring at the double 8's lying on the pile even though James already called out "double eights!!" =_=) and sore throats the next morning too!

so tired at the moment. why? coz we slept at 2:30 am that sunday night, and i was expecting to sleep til 8 on monday morningbut ended up waking at 5.40, and sleeping again til 6.30am. I mean cmoonn, its holidaysss why aren't i able to sleeppp...

OMGOOMG HAHAHA FUNNIEST THING EVERR! everyone's sleeping, and i wake up to the sound of a fart =_= haha. then im just sitting down ont he bed, and then jason starts waking up, and then alvin and muhua a bit. then we just lie around in silence, and suddenly *pooottt* LOL!!! hahahhaa! Me: "DOORKNOBS!!!" Alvin: "OMG SHITTTT!!!" hahaa then all you hear is just me slap-punching alvin while he tries to walk around people lying around ont he ground to get to the doorknob of muhua's bedroom door. hahaha.

stonerssss :p btw nice pj's muhua. haha.

sososoo anyway after missing the bus and getting mu's sis to take me to COCKburn central, I finally met up with tarun, jordan, andrew, and a whole heap of other church/rossy people! man, was quite a walk from the busstop to the iceskating ring, but was worth it!...although i couldnt skate until about 45mins into the session =/ BUT I GOT IT! I FINALLLY GOT IT! and then i was skating through the dayy =D met tons of new people too! so cool. here's some random pictures...there was total of like 100+ but i can't be bothered stealing them all from Alvin Chong's facebook >_>

(learn to look at camera!! >_> haha.)

So after iceskating, we all went to city together, and then split up.Had Muhua's karaoke party while the others went to utopia for bbt. I went to meet Hui May and Jasmine(ie. pervert :D) at state library, and saw JaNessa there too. We signed the photo frame which Hui and Jasmine made for Mu. was pretty cool! but funny coz they cut out the photo i gave them of Muhua kissing the window during river cruise "Truth or Dare" in year 8 photos from Muhua kissing the window during rivercruise in year 8, and made it look like he was kissing Bonnie. hahaha. so, so funnyy!! haha. good job you two =p

Ooh, here's some ktv pics. A little romance going on with SunLeung. they sang...some final fantasy song together, some other love song and..yeah, other love songs. how sweettt.. <3

So today...woke up, crammed piano, went to school to hopefully get some exam marks (only got GnT and 3 out of 4 sections of Jap >_>) but then afterwards went with Shorty(ie. Larry), Mary the Monkey King, Naomi, and Kim to cityy. Had AWESOMEE lunch at Taka's (soo nice mann..long time no eat) then afterwards went gelare in nb. SOMEHOWWW damn DDR freak Naomi and Kim played DDR at timezone..even though it was like 30+ degrees =_= mann. OH and i stole their fan without them noticing. hahaha. should've seen how red faced/sweaty they were coz of it. hahahha. me = evill >=D oh, then after i went to kumon, piano lesson, and then straight to our last basketball game of the season. haiz. busyy!! =p

and right now i can't be stuffed making this post any longer, so I'm gonna end it here.

BY THE WAYY if you read the whole blog until this very sentence, then you're either:

1) SUPER BORED

2)have no life

3)have been forced to read this by someone(no, not me.)

4) you love me so much that you wanna stalk me <3

2007-12-23T19:29:00.000+09:00

tell me about it
i feel like shit.

parents are broken up. my dad wants a second chance, my mom says its never happening.
why?dad's the kinda guy who doesnt pay attention to things. he says harsh things without noticing. he puts alot of pressure, without noticing. my mom cant stand it anymore.

i told her i wanted one last christmas as a family. she said she'll wait til after my sis graduation to tell my dad(feb 18). but last night my mom and i were sleeping over nieces house coz my sis+bro in law had a function and were gonna be out til late. i told my dad two or more times but he wasnt paying attention, and he said he misunderstood. he spent the whole night calling, getting all angry and pissed and started threatening her or some crap. mom got scared, and pissed, and moved all her stuff to my sis house straight away.

my dad just found out about these problems today. mom wouldnt tell him anytime before, or until after my sis graduation when she was planning to split, so now my dad's all heartbroken and suicidal and crap and my mom doesnt care coz she thinks its his usual "big talk"

i've done everything i can for these past few months and i obviously cant change anything. i've talked to my dad for the whole day already, if i can talk him out of suicide ill be happy.

all i can do now is trust in the lord. theres nothing more i can do. hope for the best

my tears could drown the ocean.

rawr.

2007-12-23T15:01:00.000+09:00

just when i thought we could spend one last christmas as a family together down at mandurah, guess what. my parents officially split.

as of now, my dad still doesnt know anything about it, being him all he does is chuck a sad and blame people for nothing. im hoping when he gets home sometime in the next hour he doesnt start chucking a sad at me and my sis coz my mom's moved OUT.

i really didnt want this to happen, coz soon enough we'll all pretty much be seperated, but my dad's being a total prick, not just to my mom but to everyone, and im well and truly pissed off about it.

my mom's staying at my sis house atm til we find a place to rent. i pray for the best.

The Lord's plan's await..

ATP Camp - Rottnest Island ~~

2007-11-17T08:44:00.000+09:00

wooooh. sorry, im just sleepy =p

So, it's been aaaaages since I've posted on this bloggy thingo ma bobby aye. but i finally have something to blog! hehe.

anyway, the last three days, as some of you know, I've been on ATP(for those of you who dont know, ATP = Academic Talent Program) camp at Rottnest Island. We had about 28 people over there, and gosh, it was quite a troublesome camp! well, for me anyway =p

- Day 1 -

It's like 6:15 and im half asleep still, hear my phone ringing. I go to check it
- "1 Missed Call. 1 New Message".

i figure out my mom was the one that called, and after ringing her i found out Larry had txted me.

-"Hey man, you're probably sleeping right now, but we'll pick you up at 7 or earlier"

I'm like, aww man. so i hurry to the shower, get ready, and call justin to make sure he knew, and he did. he said he was leaving at 6:45 or something, so he came a lil later. then we're just waiting at my place for Larry to pick us up, and Justin ends up calling him and rubbing it in that it's already 7.15. haha.

anyway, so we're waiting at the jetty at 8, coz we were supposed to arrive half an hour earlier than the ferry which was supposed to arrive at 8.30, but ends up arriving at 8.50
so me, larry and tai-ling are sitting in a row, and we all end up sleeping. lol. how dodge =p
I guess the bouncing of the ship along the waves made it that much more comfortable to sleep, though some people started to get seasick.

We arrive, and man, i left my helmet in my luggage, so me along wiht 3 other people had to walk our bikes around. and oh man, i figure out the pin that was in my bike from..a while ago kept getting pushed around even more,and now my bike's majorly punctured. but i decide to just keep my pump with me and pump it around. UNTIL DAY 2.

Oh yeah, the rest of the day was just lunch, and unpacking, then we had a couple of afternoon sessions, (oliver hill tour and beach for us) and oh man, was everyone in my group sucking up to the teachers for merit points to get our group to win =p

some funnny picture of justin giving evils that someone took. donno who =p

anyway, in the afternoon chong, larry and I are about to go to shops to get some cans, since the water at rotto tasted like..disgusting. so we're like rushing, and i forget to pump my bike. wheel gets flat after 850 or so metres. chong and larry are far ahead of me and i just tell them to go without me. im about to go to bike shop to get my bike fixed, coz the handles was loose and the wheel was flat. but guess what. my wheel jams. so i end up having to CARRY MY BIKE BACK THE WHOLE 850 METRES BACK TO THE BARRACKS. omg i was dying. and teachers saw me after like..100metres away from the barracks and i told them what happened, and continue on to the barracks. gah.

a disturbing yet funny picture of chong i took. i was on the bunk bed across from him, and i turn and see him like this, not realizing that he is actually wearing a pair of boxers!! i was like..uhh.ew. =p

OH, omg the funniest thing was the ATP Olympics. or so they call it. it was basically a fun'n'games session after dinner that went from 8.30 to 10.30. we had the weirdest games, and me and chong were just clowns out there =p

ill tell you about it. we had a relay, and had to carry a balloon between yourself and a partner (for me it was chong) and we werent allowed to use our hands or let the balloon touch the floor. if it dropped, we had to use body parts to get it up =p so since we had only 6 people(larry was allergic to latex rubber =_=) me and chong had to go twice. so the 2nd time we totally fail it, and we're trying to kick the balloon up, and then after like 30secs we finally get it between us. our hips anyway =_=

so we arrive ont he other side, and had to pop the ballon, and gosh EVERYONE THOUGHT WE WERE TRYING TO RAPE EACH OTHER. lol. and the balloon still didnt pop coz we werent allowed to pop it on the ground =p. and we ended up putting it through chong's legs and i stepped on it.

- Day 2 -
we had to set up brekky. and after that we had 1 and a half hours till the first session.

so i decide to bring my bike to the bike shop, so i pump my bike, and after 10metres it goes flat. so luckily this time i had friends to help me carry the bike in turns, but after half way a bus driver caught sight of us and offered to give me a ride to the bike shop. anyway, we wait there til it opens, and Nabil tells me that our teacher said i can get it fixed or hire a bike out and the school will pay coz of my troubles. so i get in the cue and i tell the guy the problem, and Mr. Croxford randomly pops up, and i tell him i'd rather fix my bike, but the bike shop guy said the mechanics are too busy. so i said ill do it myself, and they said it'd take 15mins or so, but Mr. Croxford kept leaving me with no choice but ot hire. so i was in a bad mood coz i asked him "so i have no choice now?" and he goes "no.".

my great friends who helped me get to the bike shop =_= : from left-right its James, Nabil, Alvin, Trent(not in the pic)

us at the bike shop, waiting to get in =p

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but yeah, whatever. make the day worse, we go for lunch at the Basin, and we had to wait for Mr. Oliver to come before we were allowed to enter the crystal clear water on this 30 degree day. After an hour, we figure that 3 people in his group had bike accidents and he wont be coming. gosh was everyone pissed, and i was already thinking of taking the next ferry home, it was a hard day for me.

but i survived i guess. we had atp quiz night later after dinner, and my team came second, luckily =p

here's some pics of us on the underwater explorer tour thing..we got to see fishies..and..ship..ruins =/

a crappy pic of us all lined up facing the windows underneath the tour boat =/

the fishies we saw while in the boat during the underwater tour..they're huge!

that's some of us on top of the boat after the tour finished getting a good fresh breath of air

and the scene from the boat!..
- Day 3 -

wake up, brekky, and we're all told to pack up our stuffs to put in the boat and stuff. then we end up taking a group photo at the big gun thing in front of the barracks. then after that we jsut continue with about two more sessions, and then we had lunch and free time for the rest of the day. So being me, i went to the bike shop to pick up MY bike and fix it, again with the help of Alvin, Nabil and Justin. Took us 10mins and we're off. i return the hire bike and we go to play snooker =D

afternoon we just have the medal award things which everyone got, and even though my group came first for the camp, sub team lost the number one sub team thing by like..1 point. sigh.lol
on top of that, i found out that Janelle's moving to Rossmoyne next year. gah.

no, i am not trying to grab abir.

anyway, ill upload some pictures later, im gonna get some brekky now.

hmm.

2007-09-11T18:42:00.000+08:00

okay. im in like. or so i think.

i dont know whether its just coz of that stupid "search for someone to like" thing that my mind does, or whether i really do like her. but all i can say is i love her company, and what not.

i've liked her before.all i can say. dont wanna make the same mistake i did last time..i dont wanna get hurt like i did back then. even though i'm 99% sure she probably doesnt like me any more than a friend.

anyway. that's it. i'm still trying to see whether i do or not like her. i always hate that gay part of my mind which makes me do stupid things, so im going to do my best to ignore it,and hope this isnt just 100% hormones.

i feel like telling her. but i cant. i dont wanna do anything stupid. oh the temptation to do so.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd blog for today. added a few hours after the huge "i'm in like" rant above.

my mom feels like divorcing my dad.

parents splitting

mind splitting

very stressing.

heartbreak.

why? dad's too in love with his money. doesnt take notice of his family. doesnt understand needs of his family. always turns into a furious arguement.its true. i know it is. but he's still my father. no matter how weird he may become, or whatever, he's my father and i cant change that.

i at least want my grandchildren to grow up knowing their grandfather's face. not like me. i had no brothers, no uncles, no grandfathers. only a dad who works 14hours a day to supply money for the family. i dont want my children living my hell of loneliness, without someone who could understand them as they are.

i hope they dont split and can sort this problem without divorce. or anything of that kind.

coz i trust the Lord.

bah.

2007-09-04T16:43:00.000+08:00

"You sit there, and think that life is unfair.
As you sit and to the ground your eyes stare..

Feeling so stuck out all alone in the cold
Wanting and wishing someone was there for you to hold..
Feeling so lonely, so lost..

What is your purpose in life, as you feel the pain grow,
Or try to soldier on, and to not let that pain show..
Seeing so many people walk around with happy smiles,
And you try to remember, "gee, for me it's been a while.."

A while since I was happy and actually smiled
Now it seems like the smile is very very mild..
Sitting all alone, waiting for someone who truly cares,
Waiting for someone special, someone sweet.."

couldnt explain my feelings better that the underlined.

i feel..weird.i feel stupid...

i have a thing for thinking i should, or I do like X, then the next day feeling i should, or i do like Y because of stupid reasons which appear in my head and are not true. or even because i think i should like them. or if not, i should like her instead. or maybe her. why? coz im an idiot and i unintentionally make myself think i NEED to like someone.a fight within myself which shouldnt even occur.

trying to remain neutral.trying to keep happy appearance, giving happy vibe, smiling..giving impression that my life couldnt be better.. been doing it for years. nobody knows the inside.

now im just writing what's in my mind. barely anyone will read this, but at least those who do will know what's in my mind.

In the Lord I Trust.

crAyzeE.

2007-07-06T22:33:00.000+08:00

woo, i guess this's been the most..mooost..uhh..the most -est last week of school =p
was actually quite fun.

anyway, all the sose classes got to watch SUPERIZE ME! on wednesday and thurs. i was like one of 3 people in my class who was allowed to watch coz i actually finished my work early! amazing huh? XD so after actually watching the first half of the movie for...the third time i thought i might actually get to finish the movie, but guess what. NO! stupid mr croxford. i feel sorry for all u atp humanities people, ur stuck with him 4hours+ a week XD. he told me, well, he told like the 10 people sitting against the wall all to come into some empty isolated room and write a sorry note about why we got sent to this class and what our commitment is. what the fail man!! rawr.

haha neway here are the "sorry notes" from me, jacky, larry and andrew..the notes nobody ended up handing in =p

okayokay, a bit small i know.

note 1: from Andrew (aka phangy)

"Why i got sent here:

Because I was leaning against the wall.

I was trying to ease my leg pains and didn't

care at what expenses."

note 2: from Me (aka chris)

"I was sent to this isolated room because I had

a sore back and began leaning against the wall.

This was also because I failed also because I failed to hear the teacher when he said

we couldn't lean on the wall.

I now know the situation and will no longer lean on the wall."

thought i might give the teacher a break.*cough cough*

note 3: from Larry(aka..larry?)

" I was sent here in C9 because I was trying to ease my backpains and

did not realise at what expense, in this case the other people, was being put in.

I am not entirely sorry as it isn't that hard to walk down a path which was PURPOSELY LEFT,

for people to pass. Everybody was happily enjoying the movie,

but unfortunately, because we didn't listen to instructions, a safety issue was breached and the concern of health and safety for other was put into action. I personally think

it would have been better with more leniency and thought about the situation

as it is the last day of terms! THANK YOU *end rant*"

pretty straight forward huh?

last of all, note 4: jacky(aka jacky.=_=)

"I was sent here because I failed to follow instructions about not leaning

against the wall. I learnt my lesson and will listen to teachers carefully next time."

well, jacky was happy, he got an extra 3 sheets of paper when we all stingey-ly tore apart and shared one paper between four. i mean cmon, he needed it for his english assignment. or so he said. XD

stupid croxford =_= it was a safety issue to leave a path. which happen to be in front of our feet! you walked past it like perfectly safe! helloo! *does the girly clicky head-shakey thingy* lol.

Anyway, even funnier, we end up in the last 10mins of science doing nothing, i mean we just had some scientific vocab test. i always knew school was weird. =/ so somehow something happens and mr van dam somehow manages to get dylan to get justin's $5 note! like cmon! haha. he's a cool teacher, but everyone was laughing when justin chased after his money. well, i guess it was kinda hard on him since he wasnt allowed to talk, or if not we had to do a 3rd vocab test. lol. poor kid that justin. to cut the story short, he did end up getting his $5 back =p

OOH OMG YESTERDAY WE WATCHED TRANSFORMERSSS!! TRANSFORMERS FTW! the graphics were darn awesomeee! like woooo!! except everything was moving too fast you couldnt see half the action =p but damn good movie mann! i felt so scabby..all i bought at caro was mint. i didnt even wanna spend my 5 bucks on gloria jeans even tho i was dying of thirst. i mean what can you do when u've only got 60bucks. its holidays man! i wanna spend my money elsewhere =p haha i feel sorry for sean(shawn?iono how to spell his darn name =_=). we were all on the bus to caro and he was sitting comfortably on his bus seat. til older people came and the driver told him to give his seat. so, he did. and found a seat 5mins later. guess what, i think the driver was either racist, didnt like sean, or sean maybe was just purely unlucky, coz he had to stand up again the next stop XD poor guy,

lol some random pic of chong dying after trying to run away from larry. finefine i'll tell u a brief part of the context.

*chris and larry playing box game for fun on graph paper*
*chong grabs chris's permanent texta, runs behind larry and draws a line on his face*
*chong sits back down*
*larry stands up, walks slowly to chong*
*chong gets freaked out for no reason, tries to run away, hits his knee standing up, trips over his chair and stacks it on the ground*
*larry = LOLOLOLOLOLOLLL*

funny.

talking about funny, another free random session of maths today. me, alvin, ling, nabil, dylan, james and tai ling are sitting in a group right, we're just randomly talking and suddenly notice abir's shirt has no pocket. lol! somehow someone says something about his shirt and we all have a huge-ass laugh about it. lol, we laughed for like 5mins+ over a pocket! haha. man did our stomachs hurt. we all kept going and ended up concluding that the black man just couldnt afford a pocket on his generic branded shirt! JOKING. it was supposedly ripped off, and his shirt was not generic! hahaahha

well, that ends my weird last week of this semester anywayy. random, but hey.

P.S. i took some random photo at the bus stop while waiting for my bus. looks quite nice, i like it =] notice the rainboww? im such a pro photographer. Just kidding! =p

weEee.

2007-06-14T20:51:00.000+08:00

woo so finally after..> i finally blog huh? hehe this is probably gonna be my only post for another the next few months..again =p

sooo today we had baddy comp, and we were supposed to meet at willetton basketball stadium at 8.45(yay! 15mins extra sleep!) or so i thought. i ended up waking up 20mins earlier than my NORMAL waking up time. faill.

anyway, i woke up this morning all hungry and found out we had no food at home, so i was starving til i got off the buss..and ate subwayy footlong!! wahhahaha. yummyyy. i ended up not being able to run around much for an hour but luckily our baddy tourns didnt start till like 9.30 anyway =p

the teams were reasonably okay, i mean me and ling were randomly stressing out for no reason and ended up losing half our games because of it, but hey, we still came fourth out of nine teams! im satisfied enough..except those stupid corpus christi girls who were constantly swearing at us and giving us the finger for no reason. ooh they also biased our scores just so we would lose for no reason. gay people.

anyway, we had phangy's party after. i was starving coz i hadnt eaten lunch so i ordered some mee goreng from lil jason's place (damn it was nice!) just before the movie started. everyone else was just snacking on the food phangy bought =p.we ended up having 20+ odd people coming for the party, and all managed to fit in the cinema(which we though was gonna be major packed) to watch oceans thirteen. suprise suprise, besides our group there were like 5 other people. i swear they were pissed at us for all the noise we were making before the movie XD

after the movie we went back out to the food court with the two ice creams 'birthday cakes' we had. i swear at least 2 security/staff people were staring at us, thinking we were going to do something stupid. i mean come on! we're just a bunch of like 23 asian people at a food court with two ice cream cakes and a knife! what could we possibly do? haha. i broke the tension, by randomly singing part of happy birthday, and then everyone started going aswell.

andrew didnt dare shove his face in the half ice cream cake leftover, haha but i mean it was his birthday party =p

so after a long tiring day i finally get home and just slack off :p

2007-03-21T16:19:00.000+09:00

*exhales*.. so finally i get to post again huh? after countless hours of school work etc. etc. finally get a little bit of free time. note:LITTLE =p

oh another note, the optometrist at the eye studio(southlands) SUCKs =]

i made an appointment to see him when i was in year 8, and he told me that my eyes werent bad enough for glasses, and said they'd call back in a year to re-check my eyes..never happend =p

so after a few weeks of stuffed eyes I decide to call, and had my checkup earlier today. guess what.

"I can only prescribe you minimal glasses, anything smaller than these will be blanks."
" can you give me the prescription?"
" No. Coz i'm not prescribing you glasses. Come back in 6 months time. and as for at school, just sit closer to the front of the class if you cant see the board"
" er..i cant..change my seats."
" We'll see you in 6 months time Chris. Here's your medicare card"

What is that man!! like err my eyes are stuffed.. >__> i cant read the board properly mann. Grr

haiz.. so i guess i have to go to another optometrist, gonna go to one that at least lets you get a prescription =_=

anywayyy time for me to go jump training again..haiz. darn overworked body. =p

いっしょうにうたをうたいましょうね!

2007-03-04T07:53:00.000+09:00

lets sing together!! nananana.... Karaoke ftw! =p not really, but yeah!! haha ^_^
so yesterday we ended up going to utopia northbridge to go karaoke for a "suprise party" for michelle..which wasnt exactly suprising coz SOMEONE said to her
"Hey, we're holding a suprise party for you on sat so come to utopia kay?"
haha, i swear it wasnt me!
btw..her birthday was the previous saturday, 24th feb. Happy Birthday for then Michelle =]

so it starts, we had a few people meeting on the bus right..then then chong said he was supposed to be at the busport BY 12:15..so we were like okayy and so we got there at 12:25 searching for him and he wasnt there! haha and guess what? nobody had his number =p even worse, IF we left him he wouldnt be able to get to utopia..he "doesnt know the way" =p..

so being nice, we wait till 12:50!! and end up leaving coz we looked like hobo's walking around the busport doing nothing >_> in the end we just left and went to meet the others at taka's (woot! go taka's! chicken karaage! =3) anyway, so slowly one by one everyone starts to arrive..

after our meals, in our 'concern' we went to check busport again for chong..well at least tai ling and charlene did!(so nice huh..i would've been to lazy=p) anyway so the rest of us went to utopia, got bt, and waited for tai ling. and gues whoo we saw when we arrived there? CHONG!! like what the heck man! like how the heck did you find your way here? =p

anyway we called tai ling, who was obviously pissed coz she just walked back n forth to the busport for no reasonn..anywayyy i guess all that went out when we finally got our karaoke room! haha finally, after all that we get to go into our little dark, aircon-ed room..ahhh

sosoo..songs started to get picked, people started singing, (well at least those who could sing asian songs anyway..sings 90% of the time the songs were chinese...) and those who couldnt read, or were too lazy to sing just watched, had a laugh, drink(it was just tea okayy!) and some slept..

haha im gonna get killed for thiss but we ended up having a little couple sleeping together =3 haha *pic goes on later =]*

after 3 hours of karaoke, half the group(or most of the girls) went to timezone to take those photo thingies..those photo-printout-sticker thing machines haha..neoprints i think >__> and the few of us went to pot black, just for a quick hour..

so it was 6.00 and we were going to catch the 6:12 bus...or so we thought..we started walking to the busport..and it was 6.15 and we hadnt gotten there yet...so we went to maccers, larry bought food, i got a drink, and the rest just walked around..so in our thoughts, we had 'missed the 6.12 bus'..so we start walking slowly to the busport, arrive there, and guesss what! the next bus is at 7.05!! meaning the last bus was 6.35 and not 6.12!..there goes another half hour at the busport doing nothingg!!

<NOTHING

well anyway we finally got on the bus at 7.08..and it was so depressing-looking ^.~..everyone in their own seats..nobody talking...just alone.. staring through the windows..

finally got off the bus, saw my bro-in-law at home and ended up playing a couple of games of horse..beat him once out of 3 =p

anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyy that was my day for saturday! =3

Hoorayy!!

haha so after a week of school i know roughly what we're doing for each subject now. sucks. haha..

btw ever heard of a computer class which does BLOGGING?

like my multimedia class.. we're starting some projects for the school, and we hafta make our own 'online profile' thingy..we gotta include photos, 'profile' and a journal, AKA blogging. like serious! what the?

our teacher told us to write down what we did like each session =__= so weird huh?

haha whats even more funny is that our teacher relatively 'old'-ish, not like granny old but..yeah.. its like 'wow you know what blogging is?' o.O

schools these days..

2007-02-05T07:42:00.000+09:00

so i finally manage to squeeze in one quick post before school =_= noo! =p

feels pretty weird blogging. coz you never know who's going to read it. >_>

anyone up for pizza? I went to Mundaring with my family on saturday coz they all wanted to go for pizza.. haha sounds pretty stupid i know, but it was actually quite worth it!

we went to this place called "Little Caesar's" down on Great Eastern Highway. They had the BEST pizza ever! like not only was it just those ordinary pizza's you usually get from domino's etc. but they had PIZZA DESSERT! i mean.. what the? sounds stupid right?

ill upload some photos of some of the desserts we had. haha it was like..pizza base, layer of cake-ish stuff, drenchedd with chocolate syrup, icing sugar, honey, and chocolate bead thingy's! like woahh major suger overload! haha. but yeah, it tasted alll good =]

anyway off to school now =p
