'3 cheers for the reopening of school, hip hip, hooray... bleaugh' i'm just crapping. So please don't make yourself believe that school is fun. lol. So yea.. school reopens. With the announcement of this fateful news [fateful and sad news to be precise] 'examinations will arrive in a matter of 3 weeks' and i could actually see the traces of smirks hanging on every teacher's face as they told the class about it. Lert, was kind of... er.. shocked to hear about the news. So he was like 'hey eq! you must help me with revisions ok? ok?!?' well... being the usual me.. how could i say no to his generous offer of accompanying me while doing my boring revisions.. [actually i treat revisions as having a date with my school work I know it sounds wrong.. but, i keeps me motivated :p] ok... so everything seems to be going cool... school.. church... family.. friends... haha haven't experience so much peace for so long.. im just glad that God delievered me from my chaotic week.. the last week. And.. before i know it, i'm kinda addicted to subway [very expensive!!!] and chinese!! [people find it a bore]. oh well.. thats life.. just gotta drag along with it. This brings me to the point that pastor shared about this sun. 'strive to be a Brother, a Soldier, a Worker, a Messanger, and a Minister just like Epaphroditus.. a man of God. Maybe i should start to cultivate myself... to achieve this five goals.. yea especially being a worker... i must be skilled in what i do. Being a student. :)

Sat... a day that never fails to amaze me. Im so thankful of the annoiting i received from chinese service today. I fulfilled my goal. I actually managed to play for service. I thank God for the sweet annoiting that the chinese group received as a whole.. And.. you must understand that the chinese service started out only about 7 months ago. I also admit that the worship team is not very musically incline. But, i can see the little things that God has done to each and everyone of us. We will improve. The mulitplication our talents, the spirit of worship. The movement of God is undeniable. Its something that is definitely worthwhile.. It can't be described by words. I believe that with this strong essence of faith that we have for u Lord Jesus, We Will Grow In You. :)

sometimes... it sets me wondering.. have changed at all since i committed my life to Christ through the holy spirit and the salvation prayer? Well in actual fact i did.. i can see the miracles of God changing me in major parts of my life. But... sometimes.. i feel that i have not changed at all. The truth is, i feel very at lost sometimes. Im still imperfect and will always be. And im very aware that i have this particular problem, that.. i don't know how to present myself before strangers. I can tell you very confidently that if you don't know me well enough, one look at me and you will think im someone with an attitude problem.. that, im someone who is not the perfect friend for anyone of you. I got that alot of times.. infact, people from sch think of me as an arrogent freak. The worse thing is that, i ball.. YES, i ball.. infact, not just balling, i play streetball.. something which people in singapore don't appreciate its art. "its flashy! Arrogent people play it, they are for DOGS. YES! they taint the beautiful game itself." I got that serveral times... the greatest insult i ever got was today. i got spat on. i admit i did make a couple of embarrasing moves on them after they critized me. I didn't know what to do. I.. i was just a show off.. yes...
Lord u gave me the body that im in, u gave me the talents that i bore. u gave me the attitude that i adopt. Most importantly, u presented me with the Holy Spirit.. which lingers inside me. Lord.. all i ask for is you to fulfill just one promise.. that is you will provide if we ask. Lord protect my family members. Protect my loved ones.. Protect everyone that was every close to me. My church family, my sch mates.. Whatever happens to me, i don't care... i only care about their safety..

Hey, wad up. This past week has been kinda cool. It was the 'and 1'(brands name) 3 on 3 competition on saturday. Something which i really looked forward to. (actually it is spalding(also brands name), but i dislike the name spalding so yea =p). Hmm.. i thought the competition was quite cool at first, cause they were featuring tricks and stuff. From streetball. Something which i think im quite good at. heh. So ya.. i started featuring a couple of tricks and freestyles myself, cause i was getting into a groovy mood. Did some crossovers which were smooth and flowy.. and some competitors started staring at me looking at my moves. Now, i was beginning to wonder, is that a good thing or a bad thing. Guess what? I got my answer. This group of guys were being sarcastic and said out loud.. er smt like that,'wow look at that guy! hes dancing with the ball! hahahahaha' I felt really insulted.. When the competition started, things didn't turned out to be nice either. These self proclaimed 'pro ballers' didn't play nice. they have foul tricks up their sleeves. they don't give u a damn. all they want is to win. sigh.. looks like there is not going to be any room for my fancy styles. =s haha.. guess i was wrong. we got kicked out during the qualifying round. (as expected) well.. at least we won one match ( saying this just to make myself happy) and especially when we are participating in the under 18 catergory, and me and oliver are only 14. (can u see what i getting at???). So yea we remained in the compounds during the competition break. Me and oliver started freestyling, grooming our dribbles.(AGAIN) kinda draw much more attention thou. I ate back my words when this group of girls tried to get my number.(they didn't in the end) guess they were too shy? lol. Must have been my dribbles that drew them and my looks that chased them. haha. Nevertheless, i learnt an important value throughout this competition. Whenever u feel like expressing ur anger, always calm down and think about Jesus.. I dunno bout u, but this thought helped me throughout the matches.. yea, like when i was squashed by 2 big guys, struck on the face.. blah blah. always keep your cool yea? I was more excited bout the second part of the day.
Finally, my streetball team, 'ballasville' met up. as a team. Great acomplishment! lol
