God is a good God

its been a long time since i've blogged, just thought i shall now that my heart's still beating fast..

i was at the taxi stand outside queensway shopping centre earlier, with two friends. i noticed a transvestite. he misunderstood me and shouted, "i wonder why butch (referring to me since i have short hair) stare at us but they cannot accept a transvestite".

i felt scared inside as he kept saying that a few times with his friends saying derogatory remarks in malay. but i just stood there, waiting for my friend's car to come so that her parents can fetch her and my other friend home.

when my friends had left, something stirred in my heart. i could sense the brokenness in his voice and i knew i had to say something, though i was scared that this man and his friends were going to bash me up. but somehow i felt a strength in me and i spoke.. i told him that i heard what he was saying earlier. that im sorry if i had offended him. that actually i looked at him a bit longer because i thought he's beautiful. that i admire how he is brave to be what he likes and stand up for what he believes in. and then i smiled, and told him and his friends to have a good day.

i feel so good inside now, can't quite describe this feeling. yknw there are times in your life when you know you couldnt have done smth w/o God? this is exactly one of the those times. i know its definitely God who gave me the courage to speak. definitely, God is so good to me, that nothing bad happened to me and things turned out good. definitely, it was God working through me just now to encourage and speak to this man who certainly has been judged by others whom are less accepting of his choices.

dear God, use me more, further, in even more ways, to not judge but instead simply to encourage, care, speak life and love people the way You have loved me and the way You would have loved them too. :)

2011-05-08T02:16:00.000+08:00

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory
In the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

2011-02-27T02:30:00.002+08:00

Thanks God for You, and you.

Jordan Rice

I had tears in my eyes when I heard about this story.
This 13 year old boy died in the Queenslands floods trying to save his brother.
This is the face of a hero.

He told the rescue team to take his little brother who was perched up on his shoulders.
They rescued his little brother but by the time they came back to rescuing him, he had already passed away.

I'm blogging this because this young man is a hero and everyone needs to know the braveness and love he had.

2011

Hitherto, I had ushered in the New Year with much grandiloquence. Noting my slight disinclination for my demeanour in the past year, I penned down my resolutions with great anticipation and enthusiasm. In 2011, I am indomitably determined that things will be different. I wish no longer be a dyspeptic eighteen year old, partaking in common conformity moods of depression and stress. I will treat people tactfully, with the highest decorum. Being polite, speaking life, and smiling goes a long way, as quoted from my pastor.

Simply put, in 2011, I seek to hold an anomalous position in the lives of my dear family and friends, through the refinement of my character.

I'm looking forward to the best year of my life, yet.

2010-12-07T12:40:00.001+08:00

God, use me.

2010-11-23T04:15:00.001+08:00

dear friend,

it's okay to be single.
you are strong, independent, and do not need someone to constantly make you feel secure and loved.
you are better than that.

love,
gurvin

2010 pol-ite champion: npfc!

italy has been knocked out from the world cup. they will be going home. this is surprising, considering they won 2006's world cup.
yet in 2010, they have deproved so much that they lost to teams that were thought of as being weak.
in this world cup, many of the underdog teams are rising up to win matches against the supposedly strong teams.

this made me think about npfc.
every year we come in second.
ITE comes in first place.
we are the underdogs.
but i believe that this year, 2010, we are going to be the champions.

if slovakia (underdogs) can beat italy, npfc (underdogs) can and will beat ITE.

2010-06-25T00:15:00.002+08:00

to my dearest cgl

happy birthday CHERIE LOW HUI LI !

you will always ask me, how i am, how is soccer, etc etc.

i thank you for loving and caring for me through all these years.

(if you do stumble on my blog and read this someday, do let me know. haha!)

2010-06-20T06:29:00.003+08:00

dear God,

i will not be discouraged. i believe that i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Amen.

sincerely,

england for life?

i just asked my mother which country she supports for world cup.
i assumed she would say england. after all, she was born there.
however, she said BRAZIL.

unrequited love

this applies to God, this applies to the special someone. as with God, when i love someone, i love unconditionally. i love wholeheartedly. i love faithfully.

even if its not reciprocated and even when it hurts, i will still love you anyway.

though i have little or no chance,
i'm hoping one day you'll love me too.

WC2010

World Cup 2010 has started a few days back.
In order to save money, I subscribed to WC to watch at home.
At the same time, I can do my school work while watching.

I have a lot of school work to do.
HealthPsy proposal, Stats, Persid essay, and Specom cross-cultural essay.
I will go down to SADEAF tomorrow if I have time.

Speaking of tomorrow,
DL Zone Camp starts tomorrow.
Laser tag, race karting, sentosa, and revival night.
What more can one ask for?
I am excited.
It is going to be awesome.

I will end off this post with quotes from my favourite footballer, Kaka.
“All that I have, I thank Him for” - Kaka
“Everyone wants to be a winner, but for me, the true meaning of winning is having Jesus in my life.” - Kaka

2010-06-09T23:55:00.001+08:00

5 years later, I'm still in awe of You.

I do not need to worry about my future, 'cause You hold my world in Your Hands.
I do not need to worry about my friends, 'cause I will commit them to You with prayer.
I do not need to worry about my studies, 'cause I feel You gently encouraging me on.
I do not need to worry about my soccer, I do not need to worry about my health, I do not need to worry about my family. Simply because I know and trust that You're in control.

Thank You.
I love You.

I love my God. Life is crazy, but God keeps me strong when I am caught up in the midst of everything. Just felt like saying that.

Anyway, I am off to Malaysia in three hours' time!

I watched a wedding video today of my neighbour's sister, who recently got married. I was happy to see so much love and joy. This makes me believe in marriage all over again.

One day, I will be married to a person whom I will love very much, every single day of my life.

2010-05-05T23:42:00.002+08:00

I am late to blog this. But anyway...

4 days ago, May 1, was Chrysan Chiang's birthday!

Chrysan is really the nicest girl you can find. I am sure everyone around her will definitely agree with me on this, that we only have good things to say about her. She is someone who never fails to make me smile when she smiles at me. We have been friends for 6 years already. This may seem like a long time already, but to me, it is a short time as compared to the many more years we have ahead of us.

Thank you for being in my life.

2010-04-25T04:14:00.000+08:00

Today, 24th April, is definitely a significant day in my life.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Pastor Lia! You are sacrificial, loving and generous. You have taught me so much, yet I do not know how to express fully in words how thankful I am to you. But thank you for wholeheartedly believing in youths like me.

Mothers' Day is coming up soon. Honestly, it scares me. But I will not let my fear > faith.
Reminder: Do something for mum.

I'm alive 'cause He's alive.

2010-03-29T16:41:00.003+08:00

just something to ponder on..

what if after you have accepted Christ in your life (i.e. your salvation), God never blesses you again.
will you continue to love Him and desire to live the best life for Him?
or will you curse Him, blame Him, mock Him and eventually walk away from Him?

a simple analogy..
imagine you are drowning. AHHHHHHHH!!!

just when you are about to drown, a man grabs hold of you and pulls you out of the water.
the man is not obliged to bless your life or to provide/care for you in any way.
simply because he has saved your life, you will feel indebted towards him for the rest of your life.

the same goes with God.
when your life was going haywire or when you had no one to turn to, God came and rescued you out of this mess you've gotten yourself into.
and for that, we must always be eternally grateful to Him.
many people tend to forget this as they are too caught up in their lives.
many Christians walk away from God, claiming their spiritual lives are stagnant or that God is no longer blessing their lives.

for God has saved us, we must be eternally grateful.

2010-03-19T07:30:00.004+08:00

I just got back my exam results.

The first thing that I came to my mind was...
When I do well, I thank God.
When I do not do well, I will still thank God anyway.

I'm not saying I didn't do well though. Haha.

Well done to my to4 classmates. We got through yet another sem together!

SOCCER TMR!

2010-03-14T22:23:00.002+08:00

in the one week of camp,
i cheered 9352897505 cheers.
i made many nice friends.
i keep shouting at students.
i learnt how to conduct activities.
i know how to cook outdoors.
etc etc

lack of sleep + shouting at students + logistics = tiring

however, i have judy tan with me through all this.

at the same time,
i miss you a lot.

2010-03-06T00:53:00.002+08:00

No matter what, I know I will always have You.

I love You.

2010-02-13T21:20:00.005+08:00

dear God,

i pray that i will grow and be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and understanding.
i pray that i will behave in a manner thats fully pleasing to You, that You will be proud of my character.
i pray that i will be fruitful in every good work.
i pray that i will increase in my knowledge of You and Your word, that means i will continue to read my Bible faithfully.

in the Bible, it says, in You, i am strengthened with all might. i believe that means that not only spiritually strong, but physically and mentally strong too.

thank you God. when i go through challenging times or moments in which i am tempted, i can still be happy and thankful. after all, what i go through is nothing compared to what You had to go through 2000 years ago on the cross.

something struck me today.
that though we might be nice, loving, compassionate, caring people on the inside, we really gotta show it on the outside to the people around us through our words and actions.

on a random note,
happy CNY and Vday to everyone who's reading this! :)

Had many thoughts in my mind when I was showering, but I forgot everything.
Since my parents are unhappy with me, I am at Macs now. My brother conveniently told me to buy double cheeseburger for him haha.

Anyway.. Yesterday was HannahLoke's and Kok Alison's birthday. Today is Ros's birthday!

All my teammates exams are ending tomorrow. Can't wait to see them.

I like to meet HXJS.

Seeing you never fails to make me smile.

Sadly, no one will marry you though. You behave like a small kid. But nvm. Last resort: I will marry you haha!

Church is really growing so fast, I gotta catch up !!!
I'm looking forward to 2010 already.

I realised I get really happy and excited when I unexpectedly see people!

So much to say, but I am doing slides for CATS now. I'm gna send it over to them soon!

If you've realized, today all my spelling and grammar and capital letter punctuation are correct. This is because I actually typed this in Word and copy-pasted it over here. Haha!

today we came up with a group name for CATS.
my group name is... CocoprinceQsupercats!

SnW soccer was fun.
the girls there are nice although they really hit you all over the place when they tackle you for the ball.

judy came to watch me play soccer.
i was very happy to see her!

after that we went to canteen 2. i bought 3 cups of milo. $2.40!
then we met ros, walked around and eventually ended up at kap macs.
we were SMSing boss along the way, i was laughing like crazy!
judy and ros talk so much nonsense.
Boss, faster get well soon!
after that, we wanted to leave but we couldnt 'cause it was raining.
judy and i bought mcnuggets, it is my favourite meal in macs now.
judy and i were laughing away like crazy while looking through ros's wallet.
we used her coins to pay for our mc nuggets meal!

after that we hailed a taxi in the heavy rain!
ros went off to meet her darkness while judy accompanied me to go see doctor at queensway.
i was touched 'cause she stays so far away and she is sick too. i am sorry i made you fall sick ):
but anyway, when we went to the clinic, judy kept fidgeting with everything.
when i entered the room, the first thing the doc said was that my hair is so short now haha.
after that judy she took the weighing machine. she weighs 50kg! she gained weight!
she also stole free baby cereal from the counter and looked so proud of herself!

i am purposely blogging in the way judy blogs today.

things like this make me happy. :)

after that we walked around orchard. i went to places i've never gone before.
i saw a soccer shop. i wanted to buy something from there. but i keep telling myself, no way. i am gna save up my money for BF.
we also found a shop where we played Guitar Hero band for 55mins.

"It's when I'm standing six feet away from you and not being able to find the words to tell you how much I love you and how much I miss you that I want to just scream to the whole room that I'm still in love with you. It's when I'm sitting alone with the phone in my hand dialing your number and hanging up that I would trade a thousand tomorrows for just one yesterday. Then I could just call you to tell you goodnight. It's when I am really sad about something and need someone to talk to that I realize you're the only one who really knew me at all. It's when I cry myself to sleep at night and it hits me how much I would give to hold you at that very moment. It's when I think about you that I realize no one else in the world is meant for me."

ABCDEFGurvin says (10:39 PM):
*i need to bathe
ABCDEFGurvin says (10:39 PM):
*but my body feels weak

i want to play football soon.
i want to go to church soon.
i want to cut my hair short soon.

i think Facing The Giants is an awesome show.
i feel like writing small cards for all my t04ians.
im looking forward to another sem of sch to start.

i want to work full time in church.
i want to be less emotion-led and more God-inspired.

i suddenly felt like i miss Jiang a lot today.

i have a lot of random thoughts in my mind.
today is the longest time i've ever spent using my laptop.

deepavali is tmr. im surprised there's no school holiday for it.
indians = minority race?
nvm, italian = gurvin.

one last random thought:
i really wonder how Boss looks like with her short boy hair.

2009-10-12T20:55:00.004+08:00

the last goodbye

I don't believe you and I never will
I can't live by your side with the lies you've tried to instill
I can't take anymore
I dont have to give you a reason for leaving this time
'cause this is my last goodbye

It's like I hardly know you but maybe I never did
It's like every emotion you showed me you kept well hid and every true word that you ever spoke was really deceiving
Now I'm leaving this time
'cause this is my last goodbye

I've gotta turn and walk away
I don't have anything left to say I haven't already said before
I've grown tired of being used and I'm sick and tired of being accused
Now I'm walking away from you and I'm not coming back

2009-10-03T00:15:00.001+08:00

pAsta sukan

when meeting year 1s, i can be 1 hour and 15 mins late and still be the first person to arrive.

today is a good day.
i changed my aussie dollars in order to buy a soccer ball i like.
judy and i were so happy that we cheated Just Acia.
i like the "H B'day" on boss's cake.
while walking home, i thought of jobs i could apply for.

2009-10-02T03:36:00.004+08:00

only hear the good stuff

i helped out for childrens' day ystd. it is a privilege. thanks Yolanda :)

today is Boss's birthday !!!

Who compares to You,
You set the stars in their place.
You who calm the raging seas
that came crashing over me.

oct-dec

i need to save 500$ by the end of this year.
which means, i need to find a job on the weekends.

c'mon, i can do it.

2009-09-19T23:28:00.002+08:00

You are the light in the darkness.
You are the hope to the hopeless.
You are the peace to the restless.

for greater things have yet to come,
greater things are still to be done in this city.

building fund

i went ice skating with Sean, Adel, Delph, Gareth, Clement and JD ystd after i saw my exam results. i was amazed that i was the first one to arrive. anyway, im thankful for carefree classmates. we did not talk about our results at all. we just enjoyed ourselves. my ankles are hurting now and i dont know how to skate so i was holding on to Sean, Adel, Delph. Gareth was scraping off ice with his skates so i picked up the ice and tried to put it down Sean's jacket but i failed and nearly fell. after skating, i played basketball with Sean at the arcade there and we beat the high score! well done. after that, we headed down to plaza sing where i had the cheapest-and-most-worth-it dinner in my life ever. free flow of ice cream and drinks, i like. we went to Sembawang and Gareth's face lit up when he bought his 299$ Beatles box set. crazy guy. to cut a long story short, i had a fun day today and i will miss them when i go to aussie.

and i realised today..
somehow there's this thing about holding hands that makes me feel warm inside? :)

2009-09-18T12:11:00.000+08:00

with the results i get, i can drop out of my course alr.

2009-09-18T05:08:00.002+08:00

sem 1

time spent with classmates always makes me laugh.
my classmates really care for one another. empathetic psychology students? haha.

im gna get back my exam results in 4 hours time.
im so excited that i cant sleep.
i hope my results will not be disappointing.
when i meet my classmates later on, i want to be able to tell them that i have done well, along with them.

singapore is such a result-driven society.
not that its not good. but i wonder how hardcore muggers can study every day. whats their purpose of studying so hard. to get a good job in the future? to make their parents proud?

for me, the reason why i put in effort into my studies is simple. because at this age, i still do not know what my purpose in life is. i dont know what im supposed to do in the future. so whatever my hands find to do, i just want to do my best at it to glorify God.

also, i've seen how many of my friends freak out at the thought of receiving results, even though they might have studied very very hard for their exams. for me, i cant stand being mediocre when i know i am capable of being better. and of course at times i wonder what kind of grades i will receive. but i dont worry about my results, not because they are good (i wish they are good), but more of, because whatever happens, i do not need to worry about tomorrow for i know He holds my future.

worry about nothing but pray about everything.

a long day ahead of me today but i cant get to sleep.

am eager to see Emily after such a long time.

please get out of my life? maybe you're the reason why i've been having nightmares these past few nights.

... i do not write in small words not 'cause i dont want anyone to see it. its more of, i write in small words 'cause i know that you* will read it for sure.

2009-09-14T02:07:00.005+08:00

bienvenido a casa

welcome back, Sean and Delph.

my fav clown has to wake up for school in 3hr30mins time but she is still engrossed in playing viwawa. well done.

later on, today at 3pm, i have a very very very important tournament. i want to win~ haha.

even in my darkest hour, when i cursed Him, scorned Him, hated Him....He did not reciprocate those feelings. not once.

2009-09-13T20:38:00.004+08:00

"whatever it is, please take a stand. if not its like you stand in the middle of the road, you will get knocked down from both sides". doesnt sound so funny when i type it down as compared to him saying it with his facial expressions.

one-sided love

there's this guy whom i've liked for a long time already. his name is the password for some of my accounts. he may not be the most handsome guy around, neither is he the most intelligent guy around. but he has an awesome character which i am still drawn to now since the first day i met him. his humbleness also draws me to him. i like how he looks out for his friends too. there are many traits of his that somehow makes me admire him. he is the kind of guy who makes you feel secure. he is the kind of guy who rejoices with you when you're happy and encourages you to press on when you're feeling down.

it is probably one-sided love, but im typing this here, 'cause in the future, if he ever likes me back, i will show him this blog post. and he will realise that i've always liked him, all this while :)

this video will definitely evoke emotion(s) out of you.

to Sean and Delph: BYE! enjoy yourselves in vietnam! come back soon!

voldermort

yesterday, i overslept (as usual) and woke up when Boss called me.
i watched Time Traveller's Wife at Cine with my soccer teammates :)
before watching the movie, we played pool and my bf is the best in pool.
after the movie, we went to Swensens for ice cream buffet. there was a long queue outside to enter Swensens but we put that time to good use by coming up with a plan on how to cheat and pay lesser for our meals.

today, i overslept (once again) and went to meet Sean & co.
its been a long time since i last saw them.
we went from Plaza Sing to Kallang Leisure Park to some random place near joo chiat rd then to Cathay Cine.
at Plaza Sing, we did nothing. except for Sean buying his book and Meihua buying socks.
so we moved on to Kallang, where we played bowling, and i was the ultimate champion in bowling woohoo~
after that we went to Cine. there, we went to arcade and played ddr and basketball. Sean and i played a game of basketball together and we are so much better than Izzy and Meihua who just keep screaming and throwing off target. bimbos forever.
while playing basketball, my ring fell out from my finger and i was so scared i would lose it.
after arcade, we watched G Force. it is insanity to the maximum. 4 mouses (or are they called mice?) saved the earth from being invaded by coffee making machines -.-
i ate so much junk food my supposedly diet plan will never work out haha!
after the movie, Sean and i left while Huahua and Xiaowei went to buy drinks.
i realised that Sean is more gentlemanly than i thought he is.

i didnt go for training today 'cause i wanted to spend more time with Sean & co.
but i feel like playing soccer now?
cant wait to see my teammates on thursday!
cant wait to see Pegz and Ally back in singapore soon.

my thoughts are all over the place today.
i shall end off here.
goodnight, God loves you.

2009-09-05T04:35:00.007+08:00

sleepless nights

i deleted my tagboard (what a stupid thing to do, 'cause now when i want to put it back, i dont know how to) and its school holidays already. yay.

life.. has been pretty crazy, in general.

amused/inspired/whatever by what Edmund wrote on his blog about t04 people, i want to write my own opinions too about everyone. (i had a draft a while back about my closer group of friends, but hey, we're a class, so im including every single one of you in).

Adel - her hamsters have the longest most exaggerated names i have ever heard. Pudding Fluffy Geow Pui Ba Hamlet the First... champion.

Clement - "clement is so cute!" i think i have said this phrase more times than i have attended lectures in the whole semester. if i get into an accident one day and stop breathing, i can count on him to save my life.

Delphinna - delph THINKS she is cute/pretty. but she has the cutest sister in the world. i know i hate kids. but whatever.

Edmund - plants over zombies, doTa.. if you think you're pro, wait till almond owns you at doTa.

Emily - i dont need to say much, you know how i feel :)

Gareth - crazy rocker + rockband + beatles + prototype = gayboy gareth

Hui Yee - i love her voice! i always think she will make it well as a psychologist.

Isabel - izzy surprised me with her very good singing voice at kbox. 'cause normally she is screaming away. she's a very thoughtful person especially when it comes to celebrating birthdays. Fireproof!

Jessica - JD has the coolest dad in the world and i still cant get over how funny and cool her dad is.

Jing Yin - when JY laughs, her whole face becomes red like a tomato!

Meihua - izzy's bestfriend, forever screaming too. has a very chinese-y house and an older brother whom Sean mistook as being her dad.

Melina - busy church leader who has very good time management.

Sean - just like emily, i dont need to say much, you know how i feel :) bfic!

Shabana - i am amazed at how she talks so calmly and smoothly during presentations while i am always freaking out -.-

Siti - my proj group leader who is the 1st person ever to prove to me that one can still do well at studies even with a bf!

Wani - scandalous ;) but i love you for being so easy to talk to.

Weixuan - pokemon, gotta catch 'em all!

Wenfong - my fellow hoGc-ian who looks more ah beng than ever now with his dyed hair.

i feel so lucky that i am going to be in the same class with them for 3 years :) classmates who know what it means to listen patiently to each other's problems, classmates who encourage each other to chiong for tests/exams.

then, there's npfc people! the year 1s are the most indecisive people ever when it comes to going out for outings. and i love the 'old four'. which consists of ros, boss, ah boy, me. as said by boss :)
i have nice seniors too. especially gala who scored a nice goal ystd from a free kick, siti who is a good goalkeeper, and wei yi who is the president!

yesterday i played soccer with jerome's and kenn's school friends. they are all really friendly guys and some of them are really good at soccer too! caleb, edmund, leroy, etc etc..

i've been out for every day since exams ended. wow. 27th - kbox with t04, 28th - Pegz's b'day, 29th - hoGc 10th anniversary!, 30th - NP vs SAS, 1st - trng, 2nd - sentosa, 3rd - soccer with jerome & NP vs UWC...

today, which is the 4th, i was supposed to go east coast cage, but i overslept. well done. tomorrow will be a long day, but im happy 'cause im meeting my fav people in one day. :)

2009-08-12T21:25:00.008+08:00

apology letter

i messed up. i said the wrong words, loved the wrong person, reacted the wrong way. i spoke when i should have listened, walked when i should have waited, judged when i should have trusted, indulged when i should have resisted.. basically, what im doing is the opposite of what i should be doing.

im striving to..
trust more.
stress less.
amplify gratitude.
mute complaints.

to my dearest d10, T04, NPFC teammates (especially boss, ah boy, ros & juggy), Jiangwt, clown, chrysan, hannahloke, wenxin and gurshan, i am sorry if my words and actions have hurt you, knowingly or unknowingly. i will treat y'all nicer, 'cause you all mean a lot to me.

it is not safe to say much here.

actually, i dont want to say much either, 'cause faith without works is dead - James 2:26 (NKJV). i will show it through my actions. however, if my actions are not consistent with the kind of character and attitude i should have, kindly do me a favour. guide me and correct me.

wanting to be a better friend & teammate,
gurvin

2009-08-10T19:21:00.007+08:00

NPFC baik ah!

im done with my essay! only 5% plagiarism. thank God.
no more assignments, exams in 2 weeks time. after that i can chillax.

NPFC got 1st runner-up for POL-ITE games!
crazy as this may sound, i want more soccer trainings.

random..
i want a new handphone, but i dont know which model to get.
i want new clothes too, though i will always end up wearing the same clothes.

i want to talk to a special someone now ;)

He loved you, back when you loved him for him.

2009-08-03T04:45:00.001+08:00

im back

why do some people follow the twisted path of passing pleasures, though they know they can never find true happiness in those?
just a random thought.

i haven't played soccer for a very long time already, i feel really unfit. i will go jogging later on today.
i haven't been playing soccer, but i've been watching my seniors play for POL-ITE. gala kicks the ball very hard that any goalkeeper will be scared of her and her height. deemei is so small but im impressed at how crazily fast she runs.

yesterday, i played a bit of soccer with kenn and jerome. i know i just said above that i havent played soccer for a very long time. im contradicting myself. but whatever. anyway, i was so happy touching the ball after such a long time.

after playing for a while, i left to go watch harry potter and the half-blood prince with D at tiong bahru gv. the movie.. 6/10. don't waste your time + money watching it. bought donuts from donut factory on my way home and my brother's face lit up when i offered him one. food grabs his attention anytime.

2009-07-06T04:50:00.003+08:00

I want to fight over little things with you.

2009-07-05T02:50:00.013+08:00

Lord, let me be

Lord, let me be
strong for the weak.
Lord, let me be
comfort for the hurting.

Lord, let me be
a friend to the friendless.
Lord, let me be
love to the unloved.

Lord, let me be
Christ to the least of these.
Lord, let my heart break
for what breaks yours.

Lord, help me be
one who takes action.
Lord, let me be
your hands and feet.

I'll go where you send me.

sidetrack..
By Your Side by Tenth Avenue is a nice song,

2009-06-29T04:10:00.002+08:00

i decided to re-open my blog.
for what, i dont know either.
'cause i dont think others would find my life exciting.
though i know someone wants to read ;)

currently, i need to get my psych essay done.
but my essay seems to be in a mess.

it looks like this..
neusncushnxjijqokaoisuhuxnuasnjnzxasa

can you understand that?
i cant either.

this past one and a half month has been.. crazy, but awesome.
i've met many many new people.
i've become more closer to some of my friends.
i've faced/still facing quite a few crazy problems.
i've been going for service almost every weekend (:
i've been learning interesting things in psychology.
i've been training/playing soccer almost every other day.

why i said my life is not interesting is because most of the time, im only found at three places.

paya lebar singpost. school's OurSpace. soccer field.
church. studies. soccer.

i would rather only go to church and play soccer, but i dont have a choice and i've to wake up in five hours time for school.

gd nite!

2009-05-17T20:12:00.014+08:00

i want to cut my hair short, but i'm scared on how it'll turn out. so i keep trying to find reasons on why i shouldn't cut it. and this is by far the dumb-est reason i've ever got. from none other than mr sean ng jun kit.
