Promotional results

today was a generally damp day

i wouldn't call it wet, because not everybody were crying

promotional results were released today

and (as expected) i am promoted

in fact, promoting is not an issue with me.

it's the quality of the promotion that really bothers me.

but there's little i can do

So i promoted with 1A and 5Cs

not very well done, i must say.

but this was result of putting a years' work together.

next year will be J2, and i am sure i'm not really prepared for it

but time continues to tick.

Just a follow up on my previous post.

I am suddenly very curious about end time events

I just pray that God will speak to me in his own special way

so that i may know more about the things to come

I'm terrified!

Was looking through the movie preview for 2012

and I am terrified, not because i give a damn about

all the things that's happening in the movie

(the entire movie is a scam)

'Scientist and researchers' have predicted the date to be 21 Dec 2012

and i hope to believe that it is all false

But even if it is true, the portrayal of end-times

through the movie still remains false

1) No Tsunami and all those shit. please read Genesis

2) Nobody will be left on Earth, even China can't save you

3) Destruction of the Earth will come in the form of an Anti-Christ (not some random shit which happens because of environmental issues)

But this is not what i am terrified of.

I terrified, because it going to be worse!

No peace, but war! A spiritual war!

People are going to convert, and deny Christ. Even Christians!

The Anti-Christ is going to rule the Earth!

No water, but fire! Fire from hell!

All are tempted by the devil and his evil cronies!

People are dying, but not entering the Kingdom!

LORD I AM SHAKING!

Strong believers, rescue as many people as you can before the rapture!

Bring as many people as you can into the Kingdom of God!

So that when the Anti-Christ come, we can return, with Jesus

like an army of angels to wipeout all evil on the Earth.

Jesus will establish his throne on Earth, and a new heaven and earth will be in place

There he will rule for 1000 years

Amen. Amen. Amen!

What about now - Westlife

HTML link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYw3HV_qqEs

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying
Can we see beyond the stars.
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you

What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?

What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side,
Where love will find you

What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?

Now that we’re here,
Now that we’ve come this far,
Just hold on
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you’re making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it’s too late,
Baby, before it’s too late,
Baby, before it’s too late,
What about now?

OPresentation

2moro's Oral presentation :S

I generally think i'll do fine, that is, if this stupid influenza goes away

So i'll be praying that it does.

But currently, OP is not what is weighing on my mind right now.

I'm kind of screwed!

cause i'm in love again.

and with the same person.

yea, so i'll let God lead the way.

Time to get in touch with Daniel chapter 5 and 6 :)

SACK HIM!!!

Let's not look so far,

Fulham vs Liverpool Match

This was the team line up for Liverpool

Reina
Kyrgiakos
Insua
Carragher (red card)
Degen (red card)
Benayoun (Eccleston 78)
Mascherano
Lucas
Torres (Babel 63)
Voronin
Kuyt (Ayala 85)

Firstly, WHO THE HELL IS.... AYALA, ECCLESTON, DEGEN, KYRGIAKOS?!

You're playing a Premier League match NOT a League 2 match, you don't field any

Players that comes off your head!

Now let’s look further…

Fiorentina 2 – 0 Liverpool

Chelsea 2 – 0 Liverpool

Sunderland 1 – 0 Liverpool

Liverpool 1 – 2 Lyon

Liverpool 2 – 0 Manchester United

Arsenal 2 – 1 Liverpool

Fulham 3 – 1 Liverpool

6 loss out of 7 outings in all cups, they play Lyon again 2moro before hosing Birmingham and Manchester City.

Another loss to Lyon and Birmingham or Manchester can literally see their manager packing and all cup hopes lost. SO… before all that happens

SACK THAT GUY!!!

post-promos

promos are finally over, and i have gotten my ridiculously disgusting results

H2s: Physics (E), China Studies (C), Maths (A)

H1s: GP (D), History (D)

yea... but that's not the focus now.

there are greater things to conquer.. the A-levels

My wish of going to China this year has come true.

That is provided that the Blackburn players don't spread H1N1 in China

I'll be going Xi'an trip with PJC

i'm sure i'll have a great time there.

I'm not ready for JC2....

relationships

i've decided to create a post on relationships, cause i find it highly appropriate to address this issue.

i'm puzzled by how girls think. and really really want to know their perception of a relationship.

i've known a good handfull of my female counterparts who are afraid of getting into a relationship.

Afraid not because of the guy, but afraid because they don't know how to get out of one.

Or rather, afraid to be out of one. Putting it simple, scared of being dumped, and getting too emotionally affected and possibly....you get what i mean.

With so many people aiming for ideals.. i hardly see any future for these people.

It's ok to experiment with certain things, and i feel relationships are one of the many.

It is not something that we expect to fall from the sky...

It's time the government consider their population policy

just you wait...

results will be out on tuesday..

just wait...

中华民族到了!

hey :)

I was watching the national day parade the whole of yesterday.

managed to catch the replay of the night parade cause i missed it due to BS

but i managed to watch the 10am ceremony

which includes my favourite song.. the National Anthem :)

Chinese President, Hu Jintao and his predecessor Jiang Zemin

1949, the year Communist Party came into power, i'm not sure if that billboard is made up of humans, but even if it's not it's spectacular :)

The Chinese choir.. just look at the number of people!!!

favourite part :) the National Anthem, and trust me i sang along

Chinese flag flying high

起来!

起来！不愿做奴隶的人们！
把我们的血肉，筑成我们新的长城！
中华民族到了最危险的时候，
每个人被迫着发出最后的吼声。
起来！起来！起来！
我们万众一心，
冒着敌人的炮火，前进！
冒着敌人的炮火，前进！
前进！前进！进！

The Chinese National anthem will sound more than a million times in China today

as China marks 60 years of Communism after 5000 years of ancient history.

Today, Citizens from the People's Republic of China, Special Administrative Regions Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the Province of Taiwan stand in honor and glory.

祝中华民族万岁!

Disclaimer: The above content is for viewers pleasure, and personal attack is not intended

mid-September and only 3 post

I have to say, if blogging is like an insurance company

and everytime you post something, it's like getting one customer

i think i'll be sacked by the end of this month :)

ok but screw that... that's besides the point

i have quite a fair bit of time in my hand today

i've just finished re-studying theme 2 for China studies

*side note: China Studies is the study of China, no, not history, but everything from 1978 till today*

yea, so a satisfied man shall post a longer post :)

Contents below this line might be offensive to the public. do think 200 times before starting to read....

However, no evil intentions were intended during the posting of this entry

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

i was on facebook this morning, and i saw this linked put up by Mr Derrick Ho about 9/11 and muslim children

and i started to think back 4 days ago? or 5? whatever...

on BBC World Have Your Say

*side note: It's a 1 hour forum from 1700 GMT.. that's like 1am Singapore time.. so now you know why i sleep so late every night?*

they had this discussion on terrorism...

and i thought what one listener said was quite true..

the world should stop equating MUSLIM = TERRORIST

I'm not saying they do it that ostensibly

but since 9/11, people have this thinking in their heads

honestly, i think i'm guilty of it as well

but the muslim community is not helping people change this "perception" of them by doing things to aggravate the situation.

i'm not being a dick here and try to be racist..

but if the muslim community wants that MUSLIM = TERRORIST thing to stop

they have to prove something, and not aggravate the already intense situation

actually i wanted to ask the government one question since.. donkey years ago

why have a minister in charge of muslim affairs and not other races?

why? just because we the "tiny red dot" is surrounded by this community?

secrets

now we know each others secrets :)

hahha we are even!

anyway! Hello i'm back,

i apologise for not blogging during international friendlies

cause it's not even friendly, in fact it's total gayness

HAVE YOU SEEN BRAZIL TRASH ARGENTINE?!

yea anyway... had great fun completing my studies yesterday

i'm starting round 2 of intensive studying, this time more focused on

hardcore chapters like

CSE, Thermal Physics, Gravitational Field and Differentiation tech

yup promos are coming in less than a month,

so i doubt i'll have the time to blog, but i will as and when i can:)

i'm really very sorry

i'm really sorry.. i'm super busy right now
(actually not just right now.. but everyday)
i just managed to squeeze sometime to do this post.
whoever said that JC life was the best should rethink again...
maybe not the best thinker in the world eh?

but i promise i'll try to post again tonight while watching International Friendlies
about the past fortnight.. cause my last post is yeah on the 19th of last month
till then stay tune..
got to rush out my work and prepare for promos.
Bye!

ridiculous e-mails

there is an increasing trend of e-mails going out

i'm sure everyone receives those

"send this to 10 people, and you'll meet your love on the nearest Friday"

or

"send this to 15 people, if not you'll die a loser"

or some other stuff along this line

but screw it! things are getting out of hand

-divert-

if anyone haven't already realise, e-mails of such kinds

are meant to be sent out (the more the merrier)

because the "creator" has a programme that can hack your _____ (put any word you like here that you use online, e.g neopets, facebook, gunbound) account.

once it detects that YOUR e-mail is active.

-redivert-

now people are using religion to "force" you to send these e-mails out

things like "if you don't send this to 100 people, you support 666"

or shit along this line...

and i'm only typing this now, because i just received one today..

and it reads:

Interesting. I think if Satan were to really say all that, the world would change quite a bit.

DARK LETTER
PAY ATTENTION TO THE P.S. at the end.

Letter from the Devil
This can really make you think. It actually made me really mad
while I was reading it, but it made me realize some things.
Plus,
I had to send it because of the P.S.
This is deep... and I wasn't going to forward or share it, but that last line... you'll see.

A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores.

You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night.

You are so unthankful, I like that about you.

I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine.

Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet.

As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God.

He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back.

You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you

But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell.

That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God.

Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had.

We have been...

watching dirty movies,
cursing people out,
stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental,
back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes.

SURELY you don't want to give all this up.

Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.

I'd like to say 'THANKS' for letting me use you for most of your foolish life.

You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in

HA HA HA, you make me sick.

Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood.

So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.

All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible.

Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that.

Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left.

It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.

IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.

P.S. If you love me, you won't share this

the main point is actually the last sentence,

all the text in the middle is just to make you feel guilty

and make you feel all f***ed up

so i appeal to all, that should you receive such things

that relates to religion, especially

don't send it out.

you can send out 1,000,000 of these mails

but, it is God who really knows who you are inside.

time to think

things aren't going at the best pace at the moment

things are starting to pile like never before

even Mathematical Induction questions are too hard for me to solve

the whole confidence level is dropping..

the thought of not meeting my top 90% for maths, physics and history target

seems so real, seems to near, seems so easily attained

i'm not scared of the exams, i'm scared of people's expectations for me

human... i'm only human

with the year zooming pass just like that,

i don't want to end up looking back and say "what a waste"

because that's how i feel right now

i really need a break, a break with the one and only

streams of tears roll down, blurring my vision completely

the world looks dirty, a dirt filled world of sin

but the Lord is coming, take me back completely

for in the Lord's arms, this sheep lies within

Amen, Amen, Amen

A good way to start

great way to begin the season

with a 1-6 demolishment of Everton

but as Wenger put it, the season is still young

it's just one game

But it's great to see the young Gunners mature

Arsenal All the Way:)

time zooms when things are not going well

it seems like only yesterday that i stepped into PJC

life has been crazy... promos is in 6 weeks time

and the exam schedule is yet to come out...

how to study like that?!

project work is also on the line.. with hell lots yet to be done

PROJECT WORK+PROMOS=NO TIME TO SLEEP

i really wonder who came up with such things...

secret

some secrets are better left untold...

StandUp for Singapore

Hi, i'm in Malaysia now, "celebrating" Singapore's national day

today marks 44 years of independence.

I didn't manage to catch PM Lee's national day speech yesterday

maybe i can watch it on CNA when i'm back

I'll most probably be chiong-ing all my maths and physics sample questions now

hahha there's a test the moment i step into school on Tuesday

so gotta make use of this time to do work (esp at night)

anyway, time to sing birthday song

Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday to Baoyue

Happy Birthday to You

I'm sorry i cannot message you or call you to wish you

cause the first line of this post explains it all

but really want to thank God for such a wonderful friend

I think you are the kindest person i've ever met

CJC Volleyball FTW :)

May the Lord be with you now and forevermore

away

I'll be away in malaysia for the next 3 days

i will have my laptop with me, but i doubt there will be internet connection

so i've prepared ONE post which will be uploaded on National Day when i'm away.

Let the peace of God reign

Father of Life
Draw me closer

Lord, my heart is set on You
Let me run the race of time
With Your life enfolding mine
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit
Lord, my comfort
Strengthen m, hold my head up high
And I stan upon Your truth
Bringing glory unto You
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Lord I hunger
For more of You
Rise up within me
Let me know Your Truth
Oh Holy Spirit
Saturate my Soul
Filll me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

enjoyable day

Had thanksgiving service today at FMSS

haha was rather chaotic.. hmm

lol but overall it was wonderful, absolutely wonderful

Really really want to thank 4D for making today enjoyable:)

P.s Baoyue and Jac haha practice shuffling:) the next time we can make a video! haha

Persecution of his people

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8167644.stm

it's sad that North Korea is still doing such things despite being in a globalised world

Sometimes i really wonder.. did the Cold War really end when Soviet Union fell in 1991

because Cold war conflicts (and when i say this, i mean ideological differences and arms race)

still remain so real in our world today

peace and tranquility

Psalm 118

¹⁵ Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!

¹⁶ The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"

¹⁷ I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

¹⁸ The LORD has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.

John 3

¹⁶"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Psalm 149

¹ Praise the LORD.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the saints.

² Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

³ Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with tambourine and harp.

⁴ For the LORD takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with salvation.

⁵ Let the saints rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.

⁶ May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

⁷ to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,

⁸ to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,

⁹ to carry out the sentence written against them.
This is the glory of all his saints.
Praise the LORD.

stay strong my friend...he's with the Lord forever

Do the Peter Panda Dance

anyway.. sidetrack

EMMA WATSON ROCKS!!!

seriously man... she very pretty >.<

different from the little girl we used to know her

in the chamber of secrets or whatever.

but i kind of hate it when she does her habitual

"stick your bottom jaw to one side" photo shots

though it's cute.. but it distorts her already cute face..

ok whatever.

(FYI: The title of this post is of no relevance to Peter or Panda or even this post)

retrack...

It's the start of a new school week..

(the past few weeks didn't feel like official school yet)

time to start studying again, need to get back the momentum

Founders' Day is round the corner...

Teachers' Day is even rounder the corner...

and i feel there's a need for me to do something

at least for my FMSS teachers...

seriously, without them, i won't see an A for E and A maths

no A for Physics... and no A for Com Humans

Everyone knows i'm not the kind of person who can buy appropriate gifts...

well at least SALAD knows this fully well hahaha...

so i need ideas.. which consumes less time and the budget is taken into consideration

:) so thanks in advance if anyone is going to contribute ideas

another thing is... air crash.. like seriously

the entire past month has been filled with air disasters

from Air France, Yemen incident, American plane...

and even helicopters are involved...

If you know me well, you should have already realised

I'm fairly interested in the aviation industry...

In fact, i want to be a pilot (commercial and/or cargo I'm fine with any)

But all these news is just scaring me... and making me shit on my pants

...-.-

hahha... but seriously, i should give my career a thought

.. yea people's going to argue saying SIA no accident one la...

but you'll never know? right? no one thought that SQ006 would crash

and i should also give my future wife a thought...

can't possibly make her worry every time i fly (right Amanda?)

and what about making babies?! hahahaha

actually these are questions i thought of since i was super young...

like 9... when i first wanted to be a pilot. hahaha

but with me now much knowledgeable and aware of the things around me

it's time i re-think me stand...

Microsoft Flight simulator X can suppress my strong desire to fly.. for the time being

but it can't be a long time resolution.. maybe being a teacher in a Sec school? i don't know

I don't know about tomorrow

Many things about tomorrow,

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand

This past week has been filled with ups and downs

ups like getting A for Maths, B for Physics and B for History

and downs.. you know the rest

Midyear is seriously not a fair gauge of my academic abilities

I'm pretty sure i only used up

40% of my endurance

60% of my concentrating

and... 20% (LOL) of my brains

so.... in the end I got 68/90 for subject point ranking

coincidentally top in the class,

and hopefully top few percentile (seriously hope to be top 5)

For the past few weeks (months, in fact) I've been greatly disturbed by

the phrase "leave everything to God"

I doubt the credibility, but somehow i keep using it.

For 1 good reason, i want to keep the faith

But every time I use it, I have this feeling of

口是心非 phenomenon

Because i somehow, don't believe in what i say

(which basically explains the 4 chinese characters there)

I believe he can do something extraordinary

but to leave every thing to him... Is something i cannot do

Which is also why during Primer BS, i was reluctant to say

I left my results to God and he blessed it.

.

.

.

Hmm, i need enlightenment

Mid-Year results

Gotten back my Mid-year papers..

though not aswell done as expected

but it's a good platform for me to see where i am

GP - 26/50(-.-) D

Maths - 58/67 (-.-) A

Physics - 52/80 B

CSE - 28.5/50 ( i don't know why humanities have 1/2 mark) C

History - 31/50 (tyco) B

yea so that's about it... hmmm

You Don't Know

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuZVWoijHHk

^click/copy & to new browser to listen

really sums up my feelings for the past week

Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Nobody knows me
Yet everyone knows my name
Some people judge me
Not knowing that I'm the same

Thanks for the offer
But I keep my old friends always
But then I get lonely
Counting the endless days

Are you here for me at all?
Do you care for me at all?
Well, this time now I know
I ain't standing alone no more

Cos all I want is love
Someone who can share the pain I feel
And the eyes that stare
Won't stare at me no more
Cos all I need is time
Time for me to open up and show
The person I am
The person you think you know
You don't know
You don't know

Some heartfelt emotion
Creeping from deep inside
Cause being this person
Is all I've got left to hide

Were you here from me at all?
Did you care for me at all?
Last time I was told
I ain't standing alone no more

All I need is love
Someone who can share the pain I feel
And the eyes that stare
Won't stare at me no more
And all I need is time
Time for me to open up and show
The person I am
The person you don't know
You don't know
You don't know

What's the point of the tear when what's yours is now not?

you don't know

A shattered glass remains shattered, a shattered heart...

you don't understand

The Lord provides, he also takes away.

He build Nebuchadnezzar's throne, he made him a beast in the wilderness

He blessed Job, but...

The fear of the Lord is the fruit of all wisdom

Amen! Amen! Amen!

Footprints

You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I’m going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much I no along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid ooh
And just when I
Have thought I’ve lost my way

You give me strength to carry on
That’s when I heard you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand

When I’m weary
Well I no you’ll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
I’m always there
When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I’ll carry you
When you need a friend
You’ll find my footprints in the sand x 2

- Leona Lewis

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

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

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

WERE you ever in a new trouble, one which was so strange that you felt that a similar trial had never happened to you and, moreover, you dreamt that such a temptation had never assailed anybody else? I should not wonder if that was the thought of your troubled heart. And did you ever walk out upon that lonely desert island upon which you were wrecked and say, “I am alone—alone—ALONE—nobody was ever here before me”? And did you suddenly pull up short as you noticed, in the sand, the footprints of a man? I remember right well passing through that experience—and when I looked, lo, it was not merely the footprints of a man that I saw, but I thought I knew whose feet had left those imprints. They were the marks of One who had been crucified, for there was the print of the nails. So I thought to myself, “If He has been here, it is no longer a desert island. As His blessed feet once trod this wilderness-way, it blossoms now like the rose and it becomes to my troubled spirit as a very garden of the Lord!
