Working in the lab has been quite all right. It can be quite monotonous sometimes, though. But I get to see many, many different and interesting urine, and blood samples, not only from homo sapiens, but also samples of cat's and dog's. Oh my, isn't that interesting? That day, after work, I had some questions in my mind. Not about what I'm supposed to do...just some random questions.

1. Does twins share the same cord blood?
2. If the twins each have 1 umbilical cord, does that mean that their mother has 2 placentas?

If you do have an answer, please tell me. If not, then it's okay. I hope that these questions will set you into the momentum of thinking.
Enough of all this. Christmas is coming. Soon. In less than 4 hours. During this festive season, I hope everyone will enjoy themselves, and spread the love around, with everyone else. While celebrating, do remember the less fortunate, and give and help out in any way that you can. And of course, do remember the reason why we are celebrating. Yes, it is the birth of Jesus Christ that we are celebrating. Merry Christmas Eve.

Christmas is coming! I can feel the spirit of love, joy, happiness coming, overwhelming me. More than this, I think I can see more of the spirit of consumerism that come together with Christmas nowadays. As I shopped with my mum the day before at Orchard, we spotted countless of people carrying bags of clothes and groceries (us included). No doubt, people most probably have gotten their year-end bonuses and are now shopping for gifts to their beloved and loved ones.
Shopping with my mum is so fun. Really. Honest. I did not realise it until recently. Perhaps I was never in the mood to go shopping befor; I mean it can be quite hard going out with your brain still with your books at home and being physically out. But now, it's different. My mind, soul and body are out when I'm out. Even when I'm staying at home, sometimes my mind is out as well! And now, I understand why my dad do not accompany my mum to go shopping. Well, my mum simply shops too slowly. She claims that she must examine every single piece of clothing carefully before buying. Here's her routine to buying clothes: First, she will check the design or "cutting" in her own words. Next, she'll check out the texture. After that, she'll check if they fit her (just by looking first). Then, she'll check the price. She will most probably take the clothes off the rack if it is reasonable, or if there's a discount. Then, after taking a few blouses, she'll head for the fitting room. If she's happy with how the clothes look on her, she'll but them. Just that day, she went in (to the fitting room) with 3 pieces of blouses. Chances are, I guess, she would come out with at least 1 suitable one. But guess what? She said that they don't look nice on her. Oh well! And in order not to go home empty-handed, she headed for the shoe department, where she quickly bought a pair of heels(trust my mum to wear heels at her age!).
Anyway, after that, we shopped around that area opposite Specialist's Centre and bought Cheese Tofu and Sotong balls. They really taste wonderful, especially the cheese tofu. There's really a lot of cheese inside. And the taste of cheese still linger in my mouth after quite a while. I know cheese fishballs, or anything with cheese inside may sound cliche or cheesy now because of the Chinese drama. But they really taste nice and good. And such food products really exist in real life!!!
We then walked to PS to get some groceries and to checked out my brother's shoes at City Hall. It was such a tiring day, but fulfilling in terms of the time I spent with my mum. And it helps me to sleep soundly at night.
And oh, did I mention? I'm now working in a laboratory. I get to see urine, stool and blood samples!!! It's so cool. I mean, not everyone get to see them. The only urine and stool that I ever saw before this was my own. And working in the lab reminds me of last year's attachment at IMCB. I mean, the gloves and all. I just found the job yesterday and yesterday was also my first day. Or should I say night? It's only for four hours. It's quite all right, the work and everything. Plus, it's working in a lab!!! It's really different from the department where I was attached to at IMCB, cos, here, they'll do all the required tests on those sample. I'm still learning, of course. I think they really teach us quite a lot. In the meantime, I'm also looking for students for tuition. Do refer to my previous posts for more information on that. Early Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh! What a holiday! I guess I'll be getting bored with all the television programmes soon. I have been staying at home, watching the square box with great graphics and sound surround; though it's not as comparable as those in the cinemas, I just make do with it- Schedule goes something like that: CNA in the morning, breakfast, Channel 8 (for that Taiwanese drama...now I understand why Dad used to enjoy watching that), then read (books, newspaper and magazines), lunch, and from 4.00pm onwards, it's back to that amazing invention again...Channel 5, then Channel U followed by Channel 8 all the way...I think I most probably would not get addictive to television. Reason being that it's so so boring. I think I'm on my way to becoming a potato crouch...But I do go out too!!! To the library...the library is so quiet in the morning when it first opened. There's so few people there and this minimise the chance of them looking for the same books as you. For some reason or another, I can't seem to find books by my favourite authors, Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham. Well, I mean books I have never read before. And when I checked, it is said that they're all on loan. So, I ended up borrowing and reading books by authors which I never known. Just as well. Hopefully, it can widen my horizons. Oh, I also went out with my mum! It's so fun going out with her. Well, firstly, she'll pay for all of my expenses. And secondly, she can shop quite the whole day. The last time I went out with her, we went to Bugis to shop for her clothes. Now, I do understand why those flowery-print blouses sell so well. Well, it's because they're expensive; so people who buy even 1 will make the fashion label rich; and the material as well. The material is so soft and silky and mostly appeal to people who are scared of the heat, like my mum; also their range of sizes. The blouse sizes range from small to extra large, so people of all sizes can find a suitable size for themselves. So much for blouses. Oh, one more thing. Yesterday was the release of GCE 'N' Level results. And St Margs had produced 2 top scorers. I think theyhad all done well. Well done girls!!!Holidays are ending soon and 2006 is arriving soon. I think I'm going to get a job. Mum is looking out for me, and I'm also looking for students for tuition.And below is some information:

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.

It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.

I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates.The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation.

The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face.......... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.

In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I was not invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise . I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a great time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho!He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying : "Santa Claus, Santa Claus"... as if the party were in his honor !

At 12 midnight all the people began to hug each other ; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and....do you know .... no one hugged me. S uddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life.

I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all you heart. I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.

I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invitation, will be left outside.


Do you know how you can answer this invitation? it is by extending it to others whom you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year...
See you soon....I love you!

-Jesus-

Indeed, Christmases nowadays are too commercialised. Most people want new handphones, digital cameras, i-pod nano, or some others gadgets or commercial products and cause the original meaning of Christmas to be lost. A pity. Christmas, is such a beautiful season; a season of love, joy, giving and sharing. With advertisements constantly bombarding our young, it is no wonder that most young people do not know and understand the origin of Christmas. The good, old way of sending Christmas' greetings to friends via snail mail has been replaced by the faster and more convienent method of sending e-cards. But the familiarity of hand-written words is lost as a result. I realised this every year when I write Christmas greetings to my friends. The desire to want to remain close to my friends keeps me sending Christmas cards every year. The joy of receiving cards from them keeps me going as well. If you hasn't try sending out Christmas cards to your friends, do so this Christmas. I'm sure your friends will appreciate them. Happy early Merry Christmas.

Quite a few things happened for the past 2 weeks. First of all, my brother got his results. Not major exams. Just Sec 2 streaming results. And he's taking the same subject combination as me; even his elective is the same as mine; triple science, a and e maths with elective geography. But finally, he can inherit all my notes and textbooks. It's going to be really useful for him, no doubt about that. The thing is that no one is extremely happy and proud of him getting into the "best" class (as assumed by many throughout the decades, including yours truly), except my father. Dad was so ecstatic, so much so that he looked at my brother's report book not just once or twice, but trice. And he still hasn't sign it. I think he would be signing it until much later so that he'll have an excuse to take a look at it later. Mum said Dad is just being Dad; he loves and dotes on his youngest child the most. I remember the day when my brother came home and told us that he's going to be a prefact. Dad was so happy and he wouldn't stop smiling and telling everyone in the family that my brother is a prefact. When I told him that being a prefact is not anything great, my dad told me that I said that because I was never a prefact. Well, the fact of the matter is that there's really no big deal being a prefact. A prefact is just like any other student, just that he/she has more responsibilities. Oh well.
Graduation Night was 2 nights ago, on Monday night. It was a beautiful night with friends and teachers. Let's not comment about the food; that's not the main idea here. Anyway, so that evening was great. I took many pictures with many of our friends; classmates, CCA friends, friends who have been with me since the St Margs' days and "hi-bye" friends. I chatted with many others about what they have been busy with and their plans for the coming days. Grad night offically ended with the college song, college hymn, college cheers and the dessert. However, many of us stayed back for more photographs taking and chatter. It was definitely one memorable night with beautiful memories. I hope to see many of my friends on 28th Dec when we move back to SAV at Woodsville.
And yesterday, I met up with Lydia. Funny, this time, we met up not for study purpose. It just seem so weird. Not that we didn't enjoy it; it's just that I realised our ability to crap is making great improvements. But she's leaving for Malaysia today and will only be back on Friday, I guess. And oh, I told her that I would make the base of the Hershey Sundae Pie (which we both like). I did that this morning, and the base is still in the making. It's in the freezer. Will only know the end result in about an hour's time. So excited.
I'm currently reading John Grisham's The Summon. It's really a good read. It keeps my fingers flipping the page. Not exactly exciting, but you'll be wanting to know what's going to happen next. Well, maybe I'll just stop here. Hope that everyone will enjoy this December holiday.

What is the first thing you look for when you are at the library or bookshop?

Books with nice cover illustrations or tittles.
What do you look for in a book when considering to borrow or buy it?
Good content, storyline and suitable font size. I prefer to borrow large prints if I'm planning to read it at home. Small prints would be preferred if I'm planning to read the book on bus trips.

What Color Should Your Eyes Be?
Your French Name is:
Musetta Charles
Went out with the gang yesterday...to Orchard. Really had a good time, despite all the walking to and fros. It has been a long time since I had such a fun time with them. Hope it's the same for them as well. Anyway, we met at Orchard and walked to Lido to get tickets for Harry Potter. It was so empty; I mean, of course as it's still early for movie goers. After that, we walked all the way to cineleisure in the hope of getting something...and ended up taking pictures...If memory serves me, I think the 5 of us never taken neo-prints together before...so, it was kind of wow... After that, we went to Heeren, again, with the hope of getting something. Yet again, we did not. Next was lunch at Crystal Jade. Cool, isn't it. We have "upgraded" from fast-food to restaurant...Then, we rushed to go back to Lido for the movie. The show was all right. The effects were good; but I heard from many who had read the book that many parts of the story were cut off or shortened. But it does not matter much to me as I did not read to book, so well. After that, we walked around before we parted for our ways at around 6.00pm...it had been a long long time since I had walked such a distance and my feet are feeling sore from the walking, well, at least a little. Go figures for yesterday's trip:

5- tickets to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
4- trips past the Puffer fish at Wisma
3- different types of La Mian ordered at Crystal Jade
2- trips to The Heeren
1- toilet trip after the movie

$35.00- spent on 5 movie tickets
$8.00- spent on Neo-prints
$48.85- spent on lunch at Crystal Jade
$9.50- spent on bubble tea

Phew! 'A' Levels is over! Now, I shall take a good rest and keep my fingers cross for the result; I shall not ponder over it. I have been wanting to do a lot of things and now, I finally have the time to do so. Well, better do something constructive and productive. But, first things first, I shall take a break and rest before doing them. As for those people who still have papers on Monday and Tuesday (Biology S Paper, Economics S Paper and Literature S Paper, or any other paper), all the best and press on. Take care everyone.

"The journey can be lonely at times; it doesn't help if you are alone. The journey can also be tough sometimes; and it doesn't help if you are alone, and not asking for help."
I said that. I think it is rather true, well, at least for me, at this point of time. Go ahead and ponder; I think most people will find that it's true also. Once that is said, it is definietly better is one can seek company and help. From friends, teachers or family or whoever else. For me, I know I can always count on my friends, my parents, my brothers and teachers of course. Seeing them and being with them never fail to make me better and happier. Well, of course, I go to God and pray. Praying makes me feel lighter and more comforted; for I know "Knock and the door will be open. Seek and you shall find."

Sometimes we all lose sight of what we want. Many a times, we forgot that there is a whole lot of other things in this whole wide whole waiting for us to accomplish. Our whole seem to be revolving around the same thing all the time. At least for me. I seem to be doing the same thing over and over again these past years. The only difference would probably be the surroundings and the content. But the activity is the same. Perhaps you are like me too. But I'm not going to feel weary, tired and exhauseted. I'm going to strive on. I'm going to finish this race and finish well. I know I can do this because of my friends, my family and my Lord. They have all been wonderful. I'm not going to let them down. I'm going to do well.

I've gotten back my all of my papers...The results are alright I guess...Of course I'll work hard for the rest of the weeks before the 'A's. These few weeks are especially crucial of those taking any major exams. When I don't few like studying, I'll think of those studying real hard for the exams; thinking that I don't want to lose out to them, I'll work doubly hard. When I can't seem to concentrate on my work, I think of the joy of getting good grades if I concentrate and focus of what I am studying. When I feel like giving up, I think of all the hard work that I have put in for the past 20 or so months; it's simply not worth giving up at this point of time. When I feel tired of studying (mentally and physically), I ask the Lord for strength to continue to study and have a good and uninterrupted rest after that. When I feel alone and afraid, I always know that I can go to my friends, my family and the Lord. I feel so blessed to have these people in my life. For them, for myself, and for God, I must work and study hard these few weeks and do well for my 'A's. To God be the glory.

Is there a limit to a person's capability? I would like to answer to be no. But these days, it seems like my memory and all have reached saturation point. Why? Have the prelims done irreversible damages to my brain? I certainly hope not! What can I possibly do to improve my memory and examination skills and do well for my 'A's? Eat more 'brain' food? Is there any chemicals that can quicken the rate of brain cell division and development? Enough of these impossiblities (at least they are not going come into existent in the next 5 years). Let's get back to earth. A timetable and schedule of what I need to complete would help me get started. Next, it would be short notes, mindmaps and lots of practices. Of course, to do these, I need to be focused and really concentrate. It's not going to be easy. I know this right from the beginning of the year. The journey is never smooth. But I'm really glad for the friends and family members that God has given me, who are so supportive of me. They are my source of motivation, inspiration and comfort. They spur me to work hard without stressing me; they inspire me to become a better friend and to do a whole lot of other things that I never thought I can and they never fail to cheer me up when I down. They have been wonderful. And of course I am confident that all these amazing things that happened to me and those that are going to happen are God's plans for me. I believe in that. For the coming weeks leading to the 'A' level exams, I going to work very much harder. I'm sure that if I do my best, God will do the rest. God is unfailing.

Momentum= mass X velocity. As we grow older by each day, the momentum of our lives simply increases. Firstly and obviously, it's because our mass (ie: weight) increases. And of course going by the equation, and as we learn how to crawl, then walk with some help and finally walk, the velocity at which we travel and move from place to place simply increases. And so, logically, the momentum of our lives increases. But one often wonders; does the momentum increases after puberty? There shouldn't be any much increase in mass since growth is more or less constant and the speed at which we move about do not differ as much as well; unless we are sprinting. However, truth of the matter is that the momentum simply gets greater throughout our lives; from pre-school till primary and secondary school and then through JC and university and finally, to the working world and maybe decreases when one retires. The reason? The mass of our workload increases and we are expected and have to move faster to catch up with our work. No one is going to stop and pause and wait for anyone to catch up and rest. And thanks to the advaced technology, our pace of lives accelerates.(Ironically, it is the same technology that allow me to write about it). Anyway, it is without a shadow of doubt that life will be busier after prelims. There is nothing I can do to stay and hide away from it; all I can do is to rise up to that challenge and conquer it. Someone once said :" What does not kill you makes you stronger." I hope I can be a stronger person after the "A" Levels.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
Cheese Pizza

Traditional and comforting.
You focus on living a quality life.
You're not easily impressed with novelty.
Yet, you easily impress others.

Phew...Prelim is over... I shall keep my fingers cross for the results and pray hard for it. Now, I shouldn't ponder over my results...so plans for today and tommorrow? Well, I don't really plan my post-exams activites; cos 1. I have the time to do what I want to do and 2. post-exam period is supposed to be free and carefree (at least for me) , so who would want to set a "timetable" for what one wants to do during this time? Perhaps a good nap this afternoon and then leave everything to tommorrow? And oh, I still have incomplete tutorials which I have to complete them...I better complete them so that I will have an easier time catching up with the momentum when school resumes on Wednseday. As for now, I think I'll go and have a long and relax lunch.

18days to prelims! For those for have studied and finsish studying, they must be like :" Prelims?! Huh?! I've finish revising and now, I'm actually preparing for the "A" levels!" Ok, I shall stop this sacrasm. I think that not many people among us dare to say that. Many must be feeling frantic, scared, lost...all because of the prelims, or rather, have not started studying for it. Who can we blame but ourselves? School work, tutorials, lecture tests,...are all bogeymen and excuses! Truth is, we lack the discipline to settle down to our work. It's all about the mind. Right now, I just want to encourage all those out there and myself to work hard for the prelims and harder for the "A"s. The joy of getting good grades is definitely worth it. Also, for those feeling lost and alone, turn to God; talk to Him and pray, for God so loved us that He gave us His son. If He can carry the world upon His shoulders, I'm sure He will carry us through. Seek and you will find; Knock and it shall be open unto you. With hard work, determination, faith and God, I'm sure that we will go through these smoothly and achieve great results.

26 days to prelims. That's as of today. In about 8 minutes time(that is probably the time I finish writing), it will be down to 25 days. 25 days. 600 hours. 36000 minutes. 2160000 seconds. Wow. Imagine I must work harder and harder as the seconds approach 0. Really. I really felt restless for the past few days. It seems like work is piling up. All right, it's not an illusion. Work IS indeed piling up. It's like you are going to school and having more homework to be completed each day. There is so much work to be done that I hardly have the time to revise and practice. It seems to be homework, homework and more homework. You may have seen people having so much free time. At least they look like they are enjoying life and have plenty of time. Well, they may belong to one or more of these groups of people:
1. The JC1s
2. People who have 3 subjects.
3. People who skipped lectures and/ or tutorials to do their own work.
4. People who have really good time management.

I'm not blaming them or saying anything mean about them. It's just that time is not on my side. I think I would have to manage my time better and really study more effectively and efficiently. Though time is not really on my side, I am sure that God is. I have always put my trust in HIM and I will continue to do so. All honour and glory shall go to HIM.
" I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

There are some adults in our society who make some obviously silly decisions. Look around your house, your school or workplace. I'm sure it is not that difficult to spot these adults. I'm not exactly condeming these people for the sake of doing so. If their silly decisions affect only themselves ONLY(which is highly impossible). then I am in no position to make any comments. However things would be different if that silly decision affects almost everyone adversely. There are obivously such people in our midst, though I hate to admit it. They could not and did not give sufficent justicfications to the decisions they had made and the whole thing seem so senseless and nonsensical. This certainly do no one any good and it amplifies the ugliness of the adult or the person; firstly, for those who have to abide by the decision (because they are bound by the school rules or company rules) will be adversly affected and for that decision-maker, it really reflects on his/her laspe of logical thinking. While we have some reasons to be angry with that person and the decision, we should not be overly angry, for it do no good but harm to our body. Instead, cool down and attempt to figure out why that decision was made. If that fails, talk to that decision-maker. If you really think that it's senseless, then iron and reason things with that person. If he refuses to do anything, there's nothing one can do. But rest assure that the person will not be well-respected by many.

The biomedical quiz session with the senior was so informative till the point that my brain is so saturated. Anyway, that's not a bad thing considering the fact that I have only read the syallbus and had only biology knowledge that will only cover not even half the syallbus. Besides, he had prepared some notes and I had borrowed some books from the sch library on the human anatomy that will be, I think, useful for the SPOTS section. At least, by next sat, I will be prepared for the quiz. I hope.

I've gotten back my BT results...well, all except bio essay. I do not feel exceptionally depressed or joyous. Not so depressed because I guess I did alright and that there are many who did worse. However, I'm not rejoicing for reason that I did not improve. It's very hard for some people to understand cause I did better than them and I think it's rather insentive of me to talk to them about how I'm feeling. But to be really honest, I'm really tired to stay at where I am, and not moving forward. Only some people understand that sort of tireness. I'm not saying that it's going to stay like this. I'm definitely not going to like my results stay like it is...I'm going to do something about it. With only a few weeks to prelims, something is going to happen before I can achieve what I want. I'm going to move forward and peak at the right time. But sometimes, people do not feel like working hard to achieve their goals. I think the reason is the lack of faith, belief, motivation and inspiration. I think that the latter 2 factors are really important. For me, the College Day last Friday was itself an inspiration and motivation. The pride and glory to be able to come back to receive any prize are really enticing reasons for me to work hard. The desire to excel and get into the course of my choice is another. And last of all, the desire to want to do well and glorify God's name is a crucial point. To be able to do well in everything that God has plans for motivates me to do all things well and good; and all honour and glory shall belong to Him. I think after writing all these things down, I'm feeling better. I'm going to do everything I can (of course, with the strength from God) to achieve better results for prelims and the 'A' levels. There can be miracles, when you believe( But personally, I think this is not enough. One needs to work hard, work smart. Only then, with faith and believe, will you create and achieve the results one set out to achieve).

Here...there was this cadbury ad on tv recently that goes something like "wouldn't it be nice if the world was cadbury......". The tune was really catchy and overall, the ad caught my attention and the tune got into my head...but not the lyrics. So, for those who are like me, who know the tune but not the lyrics, here goes the lyrics:

Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury
Driving in the car would be a tasty treat
Changing gear would soon become a problem
Cadbury Dairy Milk is so good to eat
You'll be greeted with an exclamation
When you arrive at your destination
Wouldn't it be nice.

Phew! BT 2 is finally over...these 4 days has been like...not too sure how to describe it either. Anyway, shall not ponder over it too much and I will definitely be keeping my fingers cross on the results. I haven't really decide or plan what to do for the next 4 days...I think I'll be taking a break, that's for sure and maybe finish off some tutorials so that I won't be lagging behind. It doesn't feel too good to be behind time and eveything. Oh, there's one thing to look forward to. The outing with the gi and gang this sat/sun; depends. gi is back! So exicited to see her...anyway, that's the weekend. As for tommorrow, I'm not too sure what I'll be doing also. Perhaps get some rest and all...well, leave tommorrow for tommorrow itself, I say.

Has been a while since I last wrote. Well, no reason for this entry; simply feel like writing; that's all. Nothing much has happen since the last time. Nothing interesting. It's all studying and studying. Sometimes, I really don't feel like studying. Opps! But, when that happen, I would just sit down and pray. Really, the wonder and power of praying. I really believe in it. I trust that the Lord will give me sufficient rest and time. I know He will. For those out there feeling tired and stressed out from all the studying, take a break from studying (a short one) and close your eyes and and speak to God. Trust me, it really works. I also believe that if one puts in one's best effort, the Lord will do the rest. Someone special once said:" Do your best and God will do the rest." I'm a believer of that.

The first week of hols had just flown past. Was a really busy, but fulfilling and meaningful week for me; esp the Life Science Camp and the Famine Camp.
Now that the second week is here, it's really study time! The stress is not here YET but I'm quite sure that come week 3 and 4, I'll be pulling my hair out. It seems scary to note that I'm not really ready to take the "A"s at the end of the year. I mean, exactly two years ago, I was really revising for my "O"s. Perhaps it's because of BT 2. I don't know. I really felt I'm not up to it YET. It really seems a lot of work and effort. I think I must really plan my time and really revise and study. No more crapping for me; it seems really hard...and maybe I won't blog for weeks...maybe...perhaps...I don't know.

What would you do when someone call you dumb and stupid? Well, I would study real hard to show that person that I'm not what he/she claim that I am. But what would you do when someone call you a smartie and all that? Do you not study and prove that person wrong? Of course not! You obviously have to study even harder to prove that you're not just a smartie; you're a genius. Ha, but seriously, the above two situations did not happen on yours truly; but I guess that the probability of someone being in either one situation must be high. (although not 1). Anyway, I feel that the youngsters nowadays (I admit, me included) often call someone stupid or dumb. But sometimes, it's really unintentional and that it is just our way of communicating. The person called "stupid" may appear all right on the outside but who knows that beneathe that strong, steel-hard cover may exist a fragile and low self-esteem. Now, consider the second case when someone is being labelled as a smartie. This may lead to several outcomes.

  1. The person may become proud and look down upon those who are not as intelligent as he is.
  2. The person may become proud and not study and his grades suffer.
  3. The person may become stress and feel the pressure to stay at the top.
  4. etc...

[Author's note: This list is not exhausive. There are certainly more outcomes and consequences]

This is not written to discourage people from priasing other's good work. But certainly scolding someone stupid is definietly an unplesant thing to do and one should avoid doing that as far as possible. Afterall, at the end of the day, who can really judge the levl of our intelligence?

Chem S paper training today. Was really reinspired! All thanks to Mr Wu...(think that's his name). Anyway, he's a few years older than us and he can do all those questions so easily...if he can do it, so can i. Take home msg for the day is: Even though you may not know what the answer is, it does not matter a lot. It's the thinking process and analysis part that count. Plus, he make the questions sound simple and when it comes to doing it...it's like...no sweat! So, did I hear that it's impossible to get a distinction for S paper? Well, this is not to say that I will definitely get a distinction...it's just an encouragement for myself and those out there...Distinctions...here I come...Better get to studying before my "reinspiration" becomes uninspiring.

The result is out- erm actually, it was out that fateful day...you guessed it! We only managed a silver. I kind of expected it, but it's just that people around me were all wanting a gold. In addition, we sounded there in the morning. But the moment we came out of the hall, we just know it. The announcing of the results merely confirms our knowledge and expectation. I know it's saddening, disappointing, and all...nevertheless, we must take comfort that it's not any worse. Plus, there's always another syf...our juniors will definitely achieve that shimmering tittle for us!
A note to the band members: Congrats on the Gold with Honours. All your efforts had certainly paid off, and the fruits of labour can't be any more sweeter. Work hard for the presentation in July and do the school and God proud. Up and On!

Sunday, May 01, 2005

Just got the news for the results of the various performing arts groups of St Margs in this year's SYF. (a little slow I know, but still...)

CCA Group SYF Award 2005
Chinese Dance- Gold with Honours
Indian Dance- Gold with Honours
Symphonic Band- Gold
Choir- Silver
Malay Dance- Silver
Modern Dance- Silver


So proud and happy for them(esp for the band)...Hope that they continue to train and practise harder and achieve better results in two years' time.
Oh, I also heard that there is going to be on Youth Concert on 24th May in the school hall. The various groups will be putting up their winning syf performances.
Wow! It has been two weeks since I last blog...this two weeks really flew past...if I'm not wrong, the last time I wrote was after the choir concert; and after that, it was intensive choir already. A lot of people has been falling sick...fever, flu, sore throat...it's the weather (and the I think the stress and addition work...) . I really have a lot of work to catch up...bio, phy, chem...that is just tutorials...I haven't even started studying for my Bio and Chem tests that are scheduled to be on Tuesday...It's really scary...I have to study photosynthesis, homeostasis and the kidney...don't tell me that it's only 3 topics...there's really a lot to study for and to memorise! Oh no! And come Monday, yes, the labour day holiday, I'll be in school for choir practice, labouring away. Don't be mistaken. I'm not complaining or anything. I mean, one have to put in all the effort if one wants to achieve something. I think this is only fair and right. Erm, I think I better stop writing and get back to my work...

Tuesday, April 19, 2005

Choir concert was finally over...this month, i think literally flew past...really...it's like even before I blink my eyes and the month just passed...SYF is approaching in 2 weeks time and I know for sure that practices are going to be more hectic in this coming two weeks. CCA aside, I still have to study! I mean, who do not have to study? It's a matter of proirity...I mean ultimately, I would want to do well in my 'A's and no one is going to stop me from doing that. I know that this is hard work...I know it takes a lot... But I'm going to do it...I know I can.
During this 2 weeks, I'm going to manage my time well. I'm going to finish my tutorials even if I have practises everyday. I'm not going to fall behind in my tutorials. I'm going to do that. I trust in myself and of course, I know that God will provide me with the strength to do that.

That Settles It- Rhonda Rhea

I figured it was probably time to go on the current season's healthy eating kick. How did I know it was time? I called them "little sugar cravings," but when I caught myself shooting out of the car and landing almost instantly at the pantry door, I figured I'd probably already let the sugar-fest go on for too long. I was like a treat-seeking missile, with a chocolate target. When it gets that severe, not even the chocolate chips are safe.

It's also a clue that it's time to make some diet changes when I choose a Sunday School class by rating their doughnuts. "She's a good teacher, but she only serves glazed. Maggie's class always brings those chocolate-covered, custard-filled long johns." It's hard to compete with a good long john.

I guess the real clincher is when I catch myself digging through the toes of the kids' Christmas stockings for any leftover chocolate snowmen. That's especially a dead give-away if we've already moved into Spring.

Every now and then, I have to examine my sugar passion to make sure I'm not so out of balance that I outgrow all my clothes. I sort of examine my own evidence and testify against myself. If I've tackled a couple of my kids for the last Ho Ho, for instance, that about settles it.

I'm so glad Jesus settled the really big issues. We never have to wonder about His love for us. It's eternally more intense than any choco-need I'll ever experience. He proved his immense, unconditional, unshakable love when He died on the cross to make it possible for us to have a right and tight relationship with him. But if you examine the evidence (nevermind the Ho Ho's), you'll find that He went all-out to prove His power to save. The same power that saves us from sin raised Him from the dead. Now that settles it!

How glorious that we can serve a risen, LIVING Savior! Romans 8:11 says, "It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ's!" (The Message)

Because Jesus is alive, we've been made spiritually alive too. Christ settled it all in one earth-rocking event. I loved being reminded again when we celebrated Resurrection Sunday, even if I didn't get to eat any of the chocolate bunnies.

There Is None Like You

There is none like you
No one else can touch
My heart like you do
I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none like you

Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes from your hand
Suffering children are placed in your arms
There is none like you




Heart Of Worship

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something's that of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart


I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
When it's all about You
All about You Jesus


King of endless worth
No one could express how much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath




So You Would Come
Before the world began
You were on His mind
And every tear you cry
Is precious to His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
So you would come

Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done
So you would come

Nothing you can do
Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Wow! Time really flies...It's now into the fourth month of 2005...Very soon the big 'A's will be coming...I've finally gotten back all my BT 1 results...I think I did relatively alright though there is still plenty of room of improvements... So grateful to the Lord for the strength and blessings that He has given me.
Had the first ever official Maths S-paper training today...it's really amazing you know... I don't really understand what is being discussed...the approach and all that stuff.. guess I have to put in more effort...everyone present seems to have an idea of what's going on...except me...oh well,...
Today is also the annual Life Concert organised by the SFC...well, all thanks to Shu Ai, I managed to get a good seat despite going in rather late...the concert was kind of different...it's like there's so many things happening all at once...usually in church, it's only worship and the messages...but here, there's sharing of testimonies...(erm, I guess that's why it's called a concert). Anyway, it's really inspiring to hear about how God had entered and made an impact on some people's lives. It kind of reinforces my idea of what my good Lord is like and strengthen my faith in Him. (and I hope that this is what the other people feels like as well).
The next one month is definitely going to be hectic...with the choir concert only 1 week away and SYF 2 weeks, I am absolutely sure that practice will be much more intensive than it is now...I pray for strength to pull through this...Somebody once said:" What doesn't kills you make you stronger." I want to be this stronger person. I know I can.

[By the way, I just found out that SMSS choir is going for SYF tomorrow, 8th April 2005. All the best and I'll be praying for all of you].

\\*psalms 19*//


The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork.



Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.



There is no speech nor spoken word [from the stars]; their voice is not heard.


Yet their voice [in evidence] goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world. Of the heavens has God made a tent for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; and it rejoices as a strong man to run his course.



Its going forth is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the ends of it; and nothing [yes, no one] is hidden from the heat of it.



The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.



The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.



The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.



More to be desired are they than gold, even than much fine gold; they are sweeter also than honey and drippings from the honeycomb.



Moreover, by them is Your servant warned (reminded, illuminated, and instructed); and in keeping them there is great reward.



Who can discern his lapses and errors?

Clear me from hidden [and unconscious] faults.



Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;

let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great transgression.



Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.
Phew! Block Test 1 is finally over! Can you believe it? Well, I choose to. This whole week has passed really fast...I think it flew passed! Anyway, let's not talk and brood over Block Test...What is done is done; and as for the results, I'll keep my fingers cross.
As Good Friday and Easter Sunday approaches, I fervently hope that all will be grateful and thankful for what we have and who we are today. We are all God's children. I also hope that our faith in God will be strengthened and that we will always walk with God. Of course, we must not we grateful and thankful for all these only on Good Friday, Easter, Christmas...instead, give thanks and pray daily. This is what it keeps me going everyday. Put God in your heart and mind; Walk with Him!

Sunday, March 13, 2005

It's really a long time since I last blog...had been busy this whole term and with the block test and concert...Shall not elaborate on that, I'm praying for strength to go on...
This afternoon, I went to NUS open house with Allele and my "mentor". It's quite inspiring to talk to the medical students there...[hm, better start doing something!] After that, we left for SAM to attend Ruth's wedding...The place was so romantic...the ambience and all...and plus, she looked so gorgoreous.
Before I finish writing this entry, I must mention some names as I have promised them to...[I did not realise that they have been reading my blog until yesterday]. So, here it goes: WEITING! YIN YIN! JIA JUN! Are you glad that your names are appearing here? Feel honoured? Ha! Stop reading now and study hard for BT 1...Remember that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel!
PUSH for Life

A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.
The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day.
For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.
Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind: "You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved."
Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure.
These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man.
Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough."
That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord.
"Lord," he said, “I have laboured long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimetre. What is wrong? Why am I failing?”
The Lord responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done.”
“Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so?”
“Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have .”
“True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done. Now I, my friend, will move the rock.”
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when usually what God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in Him.
By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God who moves mountains.
When everything seems to go wrong ...
just P.U.S.H.!
When the job gets you down ...
just P.U.S.H.!
When people don't react the way you think they should ...
just P.U.S.H!
When your money is "gone" and the bills are due ...
just P.U.S.H!
When people just don't understand you ....
just P.U.S.H.

Who am I?
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart


Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are


I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me


I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am Yours
I am Yours


To God be all glory forever and ever because His love is great and unchanging.

Who am I?
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart


Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are


I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours


Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me


I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am Yours
I am Yours


To God be all glory forever and ever because His love is great and unchanging.
Who am I?

You Are Strawberry Pocky





Your attitude: fresh and sweet
Comforting, yet quirky ... quietly hyper
You always see both sides to everything







Your Element Is Earth



You excel at planning and strategizing.
You could be a champ at chess or Survivor.

Well grounded, you are able to be realistic and rationalize.
On the inside, you have a hard core. It's tough to phase you.

You are super productive, and you are able to think anything through.
Focused and super charged, your instincts are a good guide for your next step.








Your EQ is


127


50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!

51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.

71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.

111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.

131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.






Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence





You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things.
Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments.
You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it.
You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle.

You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician.







You Have A Type A Personality



A





You are hyper, energetic, and always on the mood
You tend to succeed at everything you attempt
And if you don't succeed at first, you quickly climb your way to the top!

You could be called a workaholic, but you also make time for fun
As long as it's high energy and competitive, you're interested
You have the perfect personality for business and atheltic success

It has been a tiring month.
It's only one month since school started
and yet, I'm already tired, both physically and mentally
Sometimes, I really wonder whether am I the only one feeling this way
Or are there many out there who are like me
this is only to be a tough year
I know that; and I'm sure many others know too
I'll pray very hard that we'll go through this year
That we'll all work hard and effectively
Always remember that there will be light at the end of the tunnel
And that God will always walk with us.

Abba- Happy New Year

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It’s the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now’s the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he’ll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he’s astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It’s the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we’ll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

First day of school! I'm really glad to be back. But I'm a little shock that every thing is moving at quite a fast rate today...was really tired by the time I reached home...I guess I really had get accustome to the timetable soon...I'm so excited to see everyone back in school. Sort of miss the time we had during breaks...even during lessons...
This is the last year. I must make full use of it...
Had all the J1s coming in today...there was a group from St. Margs...glad that they chose to come here...saw Weiyan outside the sc and waved to her...(erm, wonder what cca would she join?) During this time last year, I was the same as this batch of J1s...Lost, confused and a little puzzled and amazed. But soon, all these change as friendship started to form...hopefully the friendships forged here will last forever and bring sweet memories to one's mind always.
To the J1s: Enjoy the time all of you had together for there wouldn't be a second time when you enjoy yourself so much in your life.
To the J2s: Cherish the precious time left with your friends and study hard for all minor and major tests and exams. May God bless you.

Happy New Year, everyone! Year 2004 has already become history since 35 mins ago. 2005 is here! I'm sure we are all looking forward to a brand new year. A fresh start. A brand new beginning. Started making new year resolutions? Or do you rather not make any cos you'll only end up breaking them? One tip here: Make just one simple resolution and make sure you stick to it till the end; I'm sure you'll be amazed in the end when you realised that you've actually done it!
Year 2005 will be a busy year for me (and many of my friends). It's 'A' levels next year. The major exams that I will have to do well in, in order to get into the faculty of my choice in university. I used to think that "O' levels is the most important. But that was then. As of this year, 'A' levels is the most important thing that I'm going to go through and I'm embraced and prepared for that(I mean, mentally prepared). I believed that "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". God bless and Happy New Year once again.
