End of the week! Or at least the official 5-day week.. A respite at last from office life. =S Well,actually i didnt go work today, not exactly feeling very well. Lack of sleep,wrong food and bad decisions on my part. Hmmm..but still,im not exactly feeling very bad for the opportunity cost of staying at home. Sure,i lose a day's pay. But my main objectives for entering working life now was never for the money. Opportunity cost of having the time to catch up with God,some friends and family while resting: 9 hours of pay and back aches. I'll say its a good bargain by any standard.
Recently I've this friend who sms-es me a lot about going online. That pretty much seems to be the only topic we talk about. Which really gets me thinking,WHY?! Isnt there like a hundred million topics out there that are more interesting and meaningful to talk about... Yet.. Well,its the same in life. There're a hundred million more meaningful things to do then certain past-time some people enjoy doing. Gaming,gambling,working(not to say thats a bad thing),gossipping etc etc... So many favourite past times,so many better stuff to do.
Not to say that favourite past times are bad or unhealthy,but I sometimes wonder why is it we stick to it so much at the expense of doing other things. I mean imagine refusing to go out to catch up with friends just so that I can play DOTA for that few more hours. Even if im some world champ in DOTA and its THE BEST thing im good at,it just isnt worth it. Are feelings of attachment to one single thing so strong that they overwhelm every other thing? I fully support having favourite things to do,but if it ever gets to a point of so much sacrifice for one thing like that,and especially if its some not-that-meaningful-stuff,it isnt called a past-time any more,its called obesesion.
Hope I never fall into an illusion of mistaking a obesesion/stronghold for a favourite past-time/hobby.
P.S. I chanced upon this blog for a worship band that just started out. Called "PAID" and I think its pretty interesting. Or maybe its interesting cos I just found out my brother's part of it. So I linked it.

Well..Im here at home using the computer instead of at work. WHY? Cos i fell even sicker this morning. Bah... Been sick for some time already,but it got worse recently. WHY? Cos i ate ice-cream,half-boiled eggs and toast and drank mango juice. All that on just 2 days. *Gulp* After like 1-2 weeks of trying to take care of my health,abstaining from fried food,cold drinks,heaty stuff etc. to recover,i spoil the recovery process in just 2 days. Now i lose a whole day's pay,have to fight of boredom at home,work OT even more tmr to cover and spend a whole day wondering WHY DID MAN UTD LOSE?!?!?!
Oh well..just goes to show how every little action counts. What seems as minor can actually have a larger than proportional consequence. Those punitive, inappropriate food i consumed to satisfy my temporary temptations gave me a lot more trouble than I expected. Baah! And if Rio Ferdinand has stepped back a little he would have cleared that cross that Henry headed in!!!! Note to self : Every little bit counts. Everything has its consequences.

Heartbreaking pictures...
Hopefully every little thing I do to recover has an effect thats equally magnifying. I want my normal voice back!! =D

Weeeee....!!!!! Weekends are here! Hallelujah! =D Im beginning to understand why weekends are so precious. Haha..I found a job! Praise God for that,cos been searching half a month for one,and all it took for this one to come was one phone call. Yeah man! I like it...not that the pay is high,the work is fun or anything,but got KaiMa there to look after me and show me the ropes. So that beats many things already. Not to mention the experience there,ad hoc admin and learning the SAP system. SHOULD be useful next time...I hope.
Only thing i gotta sacrifice is my lifestyle..Boohoo!! Its been awhile since i last slept before 12 and wake up before 7. Heck,even when it was Prelims last year,i was already living a pig-style(lifestyle of a pig) And to sit in front of a desk getting order around by people isn't something i've done before. Always envisioned an outdoor job,or at least one that lets me move around.Action pack! But then... haha,not everything in life is the way I want it to be.Must be something else iM put in this job for.
Well...tmr might be gg to Escape Theme Park,or Wild Wild Wet. Gosh..im so not ready to do that. Still suffering from the fever and flu,and no more cash with me leh. Travelling to work everyday so expensive! One of the few benefits of a student: Student-fare!!!! =( But believing God for healing by tmr. Else I cant do what I need to do la.. And cash..Aiya,think about it tmr. Haha. For now,i just wanna enjoy my few hours of free time at home! Hmm.. some of it going to blogging and all the other stuff i need to do infront of a computer,so that leaves me with another 4/5hrs to eat,tv,rest,reflect,read. COooOooOoooL!!!!
Ok,blog more next time,maybe next week le. =X Oops. haha. And oh yeah,i want that camera cable t
o link to my computer! Else no photos here.... Unknown Source at 7:21 PM

First question for today: How many times can a mosquito bite in a few minutes?
Was just sitting in front of my com for what must have been only 10 min,and i got like 11 bites already! Half a day of sitting in the same spot and nothing happens,but when I open the window for just 10 min,I get interesting bumps and colours on my skin. Dang mosquito.
Weird thing was that I caught that mosquito. That ugly,fat and ungainly buzzing thing. caught it buzzing ard my foot,so i bent down and splat it onto the ground. SPLAT!!! Out came blood... my blood. Quite a lot for that small insect to contain. After that,i didnt get any more bites. WHich leads me to wonder. Was it really only one mosquito??? If it was,must be some pig species mosquito. Suck so much.. 11 takes in 10 min,greedy sia! But can a mosquito really bite so much in just a few minutes?
Second question for today: How much blood can a mosquito suck in a single take?
Considering the amount of blood i saw when i splat that darn thing,and the number of times it must have bit me. Every time it bit me,it must have only taken a few milli litres man. Might not even be a single milli litre in one take. Ha!! Puny thing! Bite so many times only do so little damage.
Well,that mosquito may have taken some blood and caused some itchness for me. But it sure led me to think about some things. The thing is: How many times can one person complete a task or activity in limited man hours? Everybody not God ma,cant be running here and there without breaking down. Physically its impossible. Ytd cell group talked about resting in the Lord. Well,since we're not God and cant do anything,if we rest in the lord maybe some answers to my question will be provided..... Just a thought.
Another thought: How much can one person do in every task or activity he does? Not a lot. Imagine trying to wash a dozen cars by urself. Tedious. But what if there were 10 of me? haha i make copiesof myself then can do loads!! Haha! Ok not realistic.. but what im trying to get at is teamwork. IFF there were a team of people united not just physically but in one mind,then things will really get going. Just like a squadron of that pig-species mosquito being better than just one pig-species mosquito. Suck out more blood from me. Haha! So yeah... Same aim,same thoughts equals teamwork which corresponds to more work done.
Thanks pig-species mosquito for reminding me of all that today !!

"Drawing Near"- My new fav book! Not just cos it accompanies me on those long and expensive bus/mrt journeys,but also cos it really helps me draw near. Haha,didn't use to be able to feel God's presence without the presence of music,but now even with all the hustle and bustle around me,i still can feel Him.. Thats really teaching me how "everywhere" He is. And the result of that? More confidence and conviction of the Lord.
I think thats becoming really important for me in this period,cos Im finding it tough to rise up to my challenge. How maintain my high I man? So tiring.. May have the want to do it,but the means to do it mustn't only come from me. Need help! I mean if i wanna do a half-half job of beating that challenge,i think i can pull it off.No problem. Only when got people around then talk,and when talk also talk for the sake of talking,not with any purpose in mind. Not exactly beating the whole challenge. =S Thats when the help I need come in. I need people to help me keep it up,need God's power to energise me. haha. Confidence and conviction in the Lord!
Anyway,that aside. Wasn't really keen to share all that but part of my challenge,I wanna ultimately be more expressive and open up,so might as well start by sharing through blog rather than talk. Today went for the job "interview". More like job 'psycho'. Went to this big SLM company,very big in the region. Very high potential,and high potential to earn big. Can earn 5 digit salary in just one year and forever. So much promise,so much comfort.
Yet i felt so awakward and uncomfortable there! Not cos of interacting with the people there,it was easy cos they couldnt wait to talk to me. But their values and goals are just somethings I cant accept. Their products and marketing strategies I can understand. But what motivates them i question... Somebody recently shared about being a Warrior Of Light,standing firm against wordly values. Well,if i decide to join this company,i foresee being covered by an avalanche of these wordly values. Today was also reading Drawing Near,and it stated something like being careful of feeding on wordly stuff like materialism else the appetite for a closer relationship to my Lord waning. Already,i see a friend who's into such a company,and boy is his motives seperated from mine. Certainly dont want that. The comfort,the money and the friends there I can forsake,but I cannot forsake the security I find in Christ.
OR
Cross or Cash?
I think I choose the Cross.

TOday's Trybe "You Can Do It" program sure was an eye-opener. First time going for Trybe's flagship activity,and continued on my learning journey about different kinds of leadership and interacting. Not exactly two of my strong points. Well, I finally decided,with a significant amount of advice from a close friend that Im gonna pursue developing my communication and "soft" leadership skills. Haha,something for me to find meaning in this run-up period to NS! I dont think slacking off at this moment in time is going to do any joy for me once I enter the green community,so The TimE Has Come to step up a gear or two!
So here's my plan for the next 3-4 months. Volunteer at Trybe,find a job to support my excessive travelling expenses (one of few reasons I miss about being a student). Tmr's another day of potential learning at Henderson, hopefully Im grouped with the same facilitators as today, wanna analyse their different patterns in facilitating. Haha,sound so professional and robotic! =X Wed going for that interview,that unknown job interview with a mysterious manager of a friendster contact that offered me one at Clarke Quay. If I get abducted,everyone take note that I went to Clarke Quay to meet with the interviewer at 4 pm ok!! Haha.. No worries la,got that aura around me. Hehe.. Nah,just feel it'll be alright. Got a chance to rope in a few more friends who are job-hunting also. So yeah, worth a look-see-look-see.
Today I was chatting with a friend who I just got to know. She has a phobia. Which I think she wants to get rid of, but is just unsure of whether she can pull it of. Either that or she's other things that are priority over it. Hmmm... Well, I asked her if she will like to overcome it, and she said something like maybe when got time she will. That got me thinking back on the predetermination theory a few weeks back. If my friend really wants to overcome it, she shouldn't have said "maybe when got time", it should be something more sure at least. Like " Within the year, at least I will try". Goal setting...... Just like my household chores I need to do,if i keep thinking that i'll do them when Im more free,Im never gonna get them done. Need to specifically target completing them by a time,or start on it at a certain time, then i can do it. Tested it out today. And wow man! I completed more household chores in half a day then I did in 1 month! Haha! Goal setting works! =D
Tmr,gonna continue testing. I must wake up by 0600,wash up by 0605,bathe by 0611,pack up by 0621,get out by 0630. Haha,so clockwork-like. But just try la.. Hehe. Oh yeah,and I aim to get that mp3 before Feb! Else i'll just doze off while doing my jogging and while travelling around. =D

THE END HAS COME! The end of camping season I mean. Kranji YLMP wasn't half bad. Ok it was good.. Had a great time there,not just having fun with the people there,but the friendships built and lessons learnt. Wow!
Special shout out to Dan,BaoHui,Angeline for helping me learn more about facilitating and interacting. Im not the kind to talk a lot,especially in groups,but i talk more in the camp than I have in 2 weeks. No wonder my throat isn't getting any better. Well,sometimes being shy about oneself isn't cos of the way people look at u,its about how U look at urself,thats something I came away with =D So now im looking at myself and im saying,better get some sleep! Those eye bags are horrendous.
Also special shout out to Farish for his ice cream offer, to "Siao de" and the rest of B5. Really had a great time with them. Much as I appear distant, I cherish the moments we had together as a group. Funny how much more valuable things are when they're in the past tense.They've helped me see in a way the manner to lead in a soft approach. USed to favour the hard way in the past,found it gets things done, but shouting and being fierce to people isn't going to get them going,only get things going. Things and people...people of cos more impt,so soft approach,I choose u! *throws pokeball*
Choosing to serve over having fun for the first time is also giving me a new kind of experience. having that temporary rush of enjoyment when i chose to have fun over serving in camps can be rather exciting. But once it winds down, and i go back home to sit on my couch..it just doesnt seem so exciting and meaningful already. But this time, i didnt really go to have fun. frankly,i didnt wanted to go at all,never tot it will be any kind of fun. But since Alvin going,and its trybe,just tot can go over to help out. Turns out it was fun! And the temporary rush of excitment turns into a continous joy to be able to reach out and touch lives. Sure it aint as high intensity in excitment levels, but its a continuous thing. And when i sit on my couch again,i can smile to myself about the new friends i have made and how much they have done to change my life and how i might have impacted them. Thank God for the opportunity to go for this camp man.
Alright,thats all for now. If i posted every single thing i learnt here,i might as well write a small book.
Oh yeah,for all 4H people from Kranji Sec,thank God for u! And hope to see y'all at the outing next saturday!

14 days later,Im back! Know been neglecting blogging a little. Haha,new year's resolution for this : twice per week? No no no! Cannot have that question mark behind. Let me try that again, New Year's Resolution in terms of blogging: twice per week!! Haha. If there's one thing i could take away from an otherwise meaningless but super high countdown party ytd,its the predetermination that EJ was talking about.
If im going make that new year resolution come thru,then I better be convicted in deciding that Im gg do it. Else... the results will be like this year. So much for doing all my hwk on time in JC,for treasuring the people around me,for making full use of my time instead of my virtual time,for the many regrets in 2006. As i think back on the past year,I can safely say it was the toughest year for me ever. A levels,problem after problem,nothing I have ever encountered on my short journey. Yet there's always that silver lining in every cloud. There's light yonder!!! There're so many things I should be thankful of... Despite my parent's pending divorce,i know they still love us. Despite my failed r/s, I know I finally got myself out of a downward spiral. Despite my weak grades,Im thankful that they're not the failing kind. Despite my shallow pockets,Im glad I have enough to get by. These are just the obvious ones,but there're thousands of other small things I see the light in. Yet the root that sprouts the light: CHRIST! Cos in Him i see the light that overpours those darknesses I once saw. Words cant explain how I feel,but all i need to know is that its only cos of Him and therefore I appreciate it.
Wow that was a long paragraph... SOmetimes when I write I just get carried away. Ok moving on to more New Year resolutions. Number 1...*drum roll* Shining wherever I go! I kn very general,but i need a workplan ma. After that then can come out with training plan rite. =S Number 2... Never worry over things so much again! Number 3... Know even more friends! Number 4... Cherish the people I have now! Number 5... Get a job! =S Number 6... Learn more Thai(Teacher this's for u man ;D)
Ok I think thats all that Im truly convicted in. Other things I may say i wanna do,but i dont have the real motivation to pull thru. Like EJ said,sacrifices have to be made if i wanna decide to do sth and follow up,well i dont feel like im prepared to sacrifice more for other stuff.
Hmm..i didnt intended this to be a long post,so I better stop here. This is where we've come to... 2007. May it bring more lessons than 2006 and be a year of miraclous results!

Yet the root that sprouts the light: CHRIST! Cos in Him i see the light that overpours those darknesses I once saw. Words cant explain how I feel,but all i need to know is that its only cos of Him and therefore I appreciate it.
Wow that was a long paragraph... SOmetimes when I write I just get carried away. Ok moving on to more New Year resolutions. Number 1...*drum roll* Shining wherever I go! I kn very general,but i need a workplan ma. After that then can come out with training plan rite. =S Number 2... Never worry over things so much again! Number 3... Know even more friends! Number 4... Cherish the people I have now! Number 5... Get a job! =S Number 6... Learn more Thai(Teacher this's for u man ;D)
Ok I think thats all that Im truly convicted in. Other things I may say i wanna do,but i dont have the real motivation to pull thru. Like EJ said,sacrifices have to be made if i wanna decide to do sth and follow up,well i dont feel like im prepared to sacrifice more for other stuff.
Hmm..i didnt intended this to be a long post,so I better stop here. This is where we've come to... 2007. May it bring more lessons than 2006 and be a year of miraclous results!
