Sean the Roadsweeper

OK!! OWN UP !! WHO CHOSE SEAN TO BE ROAD SWEEPER!!

T_T i knew i shouldnt have put that option there. It was like dangling bait in front of all of u to check that job. I dunt blame u guys... wait... actually .. i do.. >.<

Anyways.. today i am finally rid of my thesis woes for the next 3 weeks or so.. which means i have to march on for my finals -_- which i have quite alot to cover on.

Today's seminar/presentation was good to say the least. As there was a ang moh dude that wore khaki's and a tshirt to his presentation, i figured i should be no different than them. They weren't accessed on their looks or fashion sense, they were accessed on the progress of their thesis so far!

So.... today when i trotted down to the seminar rooms, armed with a red t-shirt, jeans and red slippers... i saw all my friends gathered in the room... wearing those smart t-shirts and all. When they saw me, their jaws kinda dropped.. in a way they tot i was dressed too lok kok (shabbily) for a presentation, i remember Eric even saying "Wah, this is the first time i see someone wearing slippers to presentation" But surprisingly i wasnt fazed by what the rest said. i was confident, i went thru my slides umpteen times, i knew when to crack a small joke, i knew what to say and my fashion sense aint gonna do cinch about it!

So after talking to them and telling them its alrite and that its my turn to go do my presentation. I walked in and started my thesis presentation!!

Started out GOOD! cracked a joke but no one laughed -_-
Went on to my slides and surprisingly i did it very naturally
When i finished my slides and asked if anyone wanted to ask me questions, no one wanted to ask.. which meant my supervisor had to ask me.

I kinda stumbled on one of the questions but i managed to make it through alive! praise GOD!

WOOT!!! now time to study again -_-

Sean Almighty

Theres this question i've always asked myself yet due to some forsaken reason i forgot it .. but after watching both Bruce and Evan Almighty i finally remembered that question.. and the questions is...

Does God have a sense of humor??

i did some googling and this was wat i found.. hope u guys find it interesting

Perhaps the best indication that God does have a sense of humor is that He created man in His image (Genesis 1:27), and certainly people are able to perceive and express humor. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a “sense of humor” as “...The ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is comical or funny.” According to this definition, then, God must show an ability to perceive, enjoy, or express what is comical. The difficulty is that people perceive what is comical differently, and what sinful man perceives as funny would not amuse a holy and perfect God. Much of what the world calls humor is not funny but is crass and crude and should have no part in a Christian’s life (Colossians 3:8). Other humor is expressed at the expense of others (tearing down rather than building up), again something contrary to God’s Word (Colossians 4:6; Ephesians 4:29).

An example of God's humor is the instance in which the Israelites were using the Ark of the Covenant like a good-luck charm in taking it to battle, and the Philistines ended up capturing it and placing it in their temple before their idol of Dagon. They came into the temple the next day and found Dagon flat on his face before the ark. They set him back up. The next morning, there he was again, but this time he had his hands and head cut off as a symbol of his powerlessness before the God of the ark (1 Samuel 5:1-5). God’s putting Dagon in a position of submission to His ark is a comical picture.

This incident is an example of God laughing at the foolishness of those who would oppose Him. “See what they spew from their mouths— they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, ‘Who can hear us?’ But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations” (Psalm 59:7-9). Psalm 2 also reveals God laughing at those who would rebel against His kingship (verse 4). It is like the comical picture of a kindergarten-aged child being upset at his parents and running away from home...all the way to his neighbor’s house. But there is obviously a serious side to this as well, and although the picture of weak and silly man trying to match wits with an almighty and all-knowing God is comical, God takes no delight in their waywardness and its consequences but rather desires to see them turn around (Ezekiel 33:11; Matthew 23:37-38).

A person does not crack jokes in the presence of one who has just lost a close loved one; silly jokes are out of place on such occasions. In the same way, God is focused on the lost and is looking for those who will care for their souls as He does. That is why our lives (while having times of refreshing and humor) are to be characterized by “soberness” (seriousness about making our lives count for Christ) (1 Thessalonians 5:6,8; Titus 2:2,6).

So i guess in a way.. God has a sense of humour.. haha
Well although Bruce/Evan Almighty was only a show but there were a few things i picked up from the show which i think is quite relevant:

1. If God asked you to do something... u jolly well do it
2. If you pray for something ...example patience, God doesnt zap u with patience.. he gives u the opportunity to be patient.
3. In the movie, God(Morgan freeman) could be anyone at any place.. and in a little similar way.. i believe that sometimes we inexplicably find ourselves in place of God.. We could happen to be somewhere at the right time to do something or that certain someone.. or vice versa have someone at the right time at the right place when we are in need. Am i making sense?? haha

not too bad for a movie that i thought would be a flop =)

OK time to nerdify myself .. blog ya later

The Horns, The Clarinet and Me

Yr 2001

Yr 2006


I was looking through all my pictures when i chanced upon this . It was taken in Korea when i first joined the Singapore Polytechnic band. Which was probably in the year 2001.. tat trip was probably the most memorable trip i made overseas .. and to me.. it was the start of some of the best friendships i have ever made.

A tribute to you guys.. Cheers




To(Sue Anne aka Sueannesaurus/ Horn Goddess/ Pesante(fine i know.. not anymore)/ (Movie/Sushi kaki)/ SUEEEEE!!!!!!)

SUEEEE!!!!!!! I always remembered that my first impression of u was that ure old.. and i was right!! u ARE old... well older than me by a mth hahahaha... but honestly ure just a wonderful person .. i never knew any other person that i had more ups and downs with other than this lady here. but in a weird sense after every down our friendship always became stronger than before! I thank you for always enduring my criticism and being tat ever present movie kaki~ for teaching me the French horn even when i made u angry and for just being that wonderful person that u are.
Sushi Buffet when i get back k!!!!!



To Jessica aka Jess/ God lovin Chick/ Outdoor crazy gal/ Evangelical maniac

Heh honestly .. the change in you has taken me aback ... seriously.. i mean the first time i met u .. u were this kinda introverted girl, i seriously never thought that you would become who u are today haha.. U go hiking all over South east Asia, u got a boat license and can go around sailing, u even went to Kazakhstan to evangelise and korea for a conference. im so glad for u that u have come to know Christ although its due to a misadventure in your life.. but im sure that its for the better and that its just in God's plan. I see alot of potential in you to be a church planter in the future!! hahaha .. thank you for being such a blessing in my life =)






To Nicolas Mak aka Food guru/ ma bruther/ Clarinet GOD!/ MJ Kaki

YOU! MY FRIEND!.. are my role model... ure like this living testimony of the fat boy turned hunk and as much as i would like to have that kinda success story, my tummy is against it. Ever since Zalee left us.. ure the only guy left in our small clique i could really bond with and your humour and sarcasm is really at a whole nother level. But above all else.. thanks for being that crapping friend in the band hahahaha!

You know... i just realised that in this clique that i have... im the most musically retarded out of the group.. Sue is a horn goddess, Nic is a Clarinet prodigy and Jess can play the keyboard/piano as though it were part of her... now... if onli i could sing... we could kinda sorta make a band of our own huh.. THINK ABOUT IT GUYS!

Haha jokes aside.. now u finally understand why i ask u to pass me all ure recent pics.. thanks guys for being such a blessing in my life.. cos i hope ive been one in yours too ... Cheers to all of ya =)

The forked road



We always have a choice.. whether it be good or bad or easy or hard.. we have a choice.

If u were that person in that forked road.. which road would u take?? the one that leads to nice green forest?? or the one into the dark gloomy one??

Although its such a given question.. i pondered upon my answer.. i pondered on my actions ive done today. Should i study? or should i play? Should i do my quiet time? or should i sleep in more today?

2 simple decisions... u know which one is the right one and yet u pick the other. u stand at the forked road... and u pick the one that leads to the sunshine..

but that road to the sunshine isnt always the right path.. indeed its the devil's work at hand, after so many eons and training in the temptation of humans. The evil ones have come out with so many ways to tempt us and they are becoming very efficient at it.

All the devil needs to do is show u a picture of this forked road, on one hand u know u can have fun and dance around, on the other all u see is hard work and slogging. What u see is the immediate and not the long term, then before u know it the law of nature sets in.. everything in this universe abides by this.. we follow the path of least resistance.

Its a challenge.. but remember this my friends.. we were given free will by God... our choices are not limited by what this world sets for us, our choices are only limited by ourselves. We have the ability to take the path of more resistance even when nature itself cannot defy this law!!

Of course.. this whole session is not about telling u to always take the path of most resistance. but the message i wanna bring across is that... sometimes .. that forked path that we face is not as simple as it seems.. we must learn to discern

John Maxwell once said :
A smart man only believes half of what he hears
A Discerning man knows which half to believe

Which road is truely the better route... maybe the next time we meet that situation, we will ponder about it before taking it.

God bless u all =)

Eventful day indeed

Today started out Good!... with all confidence in my coms test i went for it in high spirits!! but only a few minutes went by after i stepped out of my house my bus zoomed passed me and the next bus was at least 15 min away..
I looked at my watch and it was already 1.45pm .. Time of Test 2pm... *gulp*

But i figured hey it aint too much of a biggy, i mean with the 10 min perusal and 15 mcq questions.. its not gonna take me long.. so by the time i reached the psych building and started my test i was still.... kinda alrite... till i flipped the paper..

OMG he changed so many questions.. and i was kinda panicking in my seat.. wat to do wat to do ... i did my bestest i could and i walked out with a big down..
then as per usual .. the asian students would stand outside and discuss the questions and blablabla... figuring i could make myself feel better i joined in to learn that i made a few mistakes in the exam =_=

But at least i knew i got most right... i guess.. and i managed to ask my friend about some questions regarding the exam that i was to do the next day! so i took out my pencil box and started scribbling on this piece of paper .. so after asking all my questions i left school with more knowledge on how to do the next paper WOOT!
I was kinda happy knowing that i had one less thing to study for.. and felt kinda happy but that was till i reached home..

After i reaching back, i immediately set up my nerdy corner to study and while unpacking.. i noticed something missing.. something really dear to me.. it was my mashi maro pencil case... I was frantic .. it had all my favourite stuff.. my fav pen, my fav highlighter and most of all that small metallic mashi maro pencil case (yes sean actually carries a mashi maro pencil case around school at the ripe old age of 23.. but before u start laughing hysterically ..i just wanna clarify that the pencil box has a sentimental value to it).



i couldnt study or concentrate on my work.. that pencil case really meant alot and i lost it! so retracing my steps i figured out that i left it in the psych building. thoughts raced through my mind.. and suddenly i thought.. k there still might be a chance someone is still in school that could help me get it and after going through all the psych students i know that would MOST PROB be in the building i decided to DFD (dial for Diana).

She didnt pick up at first and i was going nuts at that point.. half thinking i should go back and get it.. then suddenly after wat felt like eternity.. she rang back!!!

To cut a short conversation shorter.. she didnt find the pencil case.. but she went to ask the office about it and LO AND BEHOLD!! IT WAS THERE!!! I was sooo happy i jumped for joy and shouted WOOHOO!! i gave her a thank you message and suddenly after all my worries were lifted.. it was back to 100% concentration on studies!

But good things were never meant to last.. i got a msg from Diana after tat saying.. Read my blog ... i figured that it wasnt good but i was kinda in the midst of having a farewell dinner with a friend. After things quietened down.. i sneaked into my room.. logged onto my comp and suddenly my heart dropped.. Hostage was the first word i saw.. =_=



Nows not the time to complain though... Gotta study...

Well as they always say the most dangerous place is also the most safest...

*prays to God*

Spirit Wings

Today i was chatting with miranda and we just so happen to talk about old hymn songs and i just got reminded of this hymn i used to sing.. i could never find it in mp3 form and have only sung it once.. but it impacted me alot... its called spirit wings and it was written by a quadriplegic named Joni..

The song is just wonderful. it reminds me of my past and what i should do when all odds are against me.

Could onli find a Utube version of it.. enjoy =p



SPIRIT WINGS

Some birds live in cages
They never learn to fly
And like those birds, I never found my wings
But Lord, your love released me
So I could see the sky
And now my heart rejoices as I sing

Spirit Wings,
You lift me over all the earth bound things
And like a bird, my heart is flying free
I'm soaring on the song your spirit brings
O Lord of all, You let me see
A vision of, your majesty
You lift me up
And carry me on your spirit wings

Now when I'm feeling lonely
I just look at You
And soon my heart is soaring high above
Everything is clearer
From Your point of view
Lifted up on spirit wings of love

But well, i will survive somehow!!!

My thesis has been chosen already!! YES SEAN IS AN HONORS/HONEST STUDENT!! im gonna do stuff with the GPS satellites and honestly just talking about it is giving me the jitters..

I have to learn about astronomy and understand how a GPS satellite works and all.. its actually very interesting and sometimes i wonder if im doing an electrical engineering thesis or an astronomy thesis.. hahaha

Although life has been hectic, but honestly its been more enjoyable. The times i spent with my friends, the things i am doing here, the people that i mix around with.. i love it all.. and yet a part of me is still back in Singapore.. My family, my friends, my tummy.. haha

then the next thing u know, time flies by and the decision whether to stay or not looms at ure shoulder beckoning the question to stay or not to stay...

As for now.. my plan is to stay here.. but only temporarily then when the time comes i will just go back to Sg to settle down. But i'll see where God brings me la haha.

k.. lemme tell u it aint pretty.. in short.. my nose becomes the outlet for billions germs. i dunno why.. i dunno how either.. but everytime i sit down to study.. i sneeze like a madman.. either that or someone is missing me ALOT or on the flipside cursing me alot..

Either way it wasnt pretty... it happened during my exam too... it made me look like a diseased patient tat had TB or sumthing.. i could see the poor guy in front of me squirming whenever i sneezed.. i wanted to apologise to him after the exam but he took off even before the time was up.. which brings me to study groups... apparently due to my sneezing nature .. people kinda wanna stay way from me when i study haha sad rite.. but its the truth..

Seems like everyone around me is finishing or has finished their exams already and its bugging the hell outta me... esp when amelia sings this holiday song rite smack in my face.. its times like this where i really learn forgiveness and restraint.. muahaha

First 7 in the bag

k guys.. this mite sound funny but i already have a high distinction even before the exams started, but ironically im not happy about it. I honestly did not put in as much effort into this project as i have in my last project and yet i scored a high distinction for it, i got it because my team mates were efficient and they just dragged me along. today when i was thinking about it, i felt so uneasy, so pissed at myself for letting myself get dragged. i honestly felt i didnt deserve the mark i got and i kept apologizing to my team mates but they did not make a fuss out of it, neither did they scold me or mark me down. Ben just said his usual 'oh, its alright'. It was at that point, i told myself 'no more am i going to let my team mates down, never will i be a liability to anyone'
I thank God for giving me these gracious team mates heh, it just shows who prays the hardest lolz.. just kidding

Quote of the day: When God speaks and you think.. ure in for trouble -Joyce Meyer

Get to know yourself

hmm did a survey linked from my friends website.. haha and its actually quite accurate.. well for me i guess.. except the part where i go out on dates alot..(haiz if only) results as shown


Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on educationEducation is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Mummy's day special

Happy mothers day mom~!

today while in church service, i heard a story bout a little boy that came to his mum with a list of things he did, for everything on the list he did.. he asked his mum for monetary rewards. his mum then took the list from him and wrote at the back of it.. all the things she did for him and wrote free of charge for everything then she said to her son 'u see.. the love i gave to u.. is free of charge' after saying that the son went to his mum and gave her a big hug saying into her ear.. could i still get 5 dollars from u anyway?

heh the last part was a little comic relief but the gist of the story was to show how much mums endure to give us a better life yet not complaining about it (or not openly complaining about it) like in proverbs 31:10-31.. i call the woman in that passage.. the domestic general.. and in my life i have one as well.. my own mum is a domestic general.

She mite not be everything tat is stated in that passage but shes the closest thing i know that its that description and i honestly thank god i have a mum like that. i made a list after hearing that story on what i wanted to thank my mum for so far and i came up with :

For carrying me around for 9 mths
For changing my nappy when i couldnt
For enduring my cries at 3am
For feeding/playing with me nontheless
For loving me with all your heart
For teaching me
For disciplining me when i did wrong
For cooking for me
For doing my laundry
For listening to my problems
For giving me hugs when i need them the most
For nagging at me
For forgiving me when i did u wrong
For providing me with a better life
For enduring all the hardship
For being a friend, a parent and a mentor all in one
For praying for me all the time
For making me into the man i am today
and lastly,
For being my Mum

Ure the best mum any Sean could ever possibly have and i wouldnt trade u for anything in the world. Thank u God for mum... and Thank u mum.. for being u

Sean's Bogus Theories

Welcome to Sean's Bogus Theories!! This is the first part of a mini series that would surely make u think! or cry out SEAN IS LAME! either way.. its good for laughs =)

Have u ever wondered why time always flies so fast when ure enjoying ureself? and why time slows down considerably when ure doing things that u dunt like??

i came out with a HYPOTHESIS that implies that when ure bored or doing things that u dunt like.. u tend to be more observant of the time that passes by.. therefore u always chk ure watch or clock every so often which always brings u to a conclusion that time slows down.. but on the other hand .. when ure doing something that is very interesting or fun.. time does not seem to exist and more often than not.. by the time u look at the clock or watch next.. its already way past what u have felt it was supposed to be!

In conclusion
1. Look less at the time and ure time will speed up!! (not tested.. ps.. dunt do this in exam)
2. The law of the world strives to keep a balance of all things.. example.. monday - thursday always goes by so slowly but fri - sun always flies by so fast... therefore u see time balances itself out! it actually slows down in the weekdays and accelerates in the weekends therefore keeping a pristine balance of time!! Cheers to God heh.

Battlefield 2007

Have u heard of the game battlefield?? its a game where the axis and allies go to war and fite fite fite capturing keypoints and attaining points to win the game.. !

this time the battlefield takes on a new terrain... tat of my body... my antibodies = allies and the infection = axis... same thing.. except tat in both cases who ever wins... my body is the one that suffers...

and honestly im feeling the effects of it... one day i can be playing soccer the next day i will be coughing like a lung cancer patient. but today a friend of mine forced me to go see the pharmacist to get medicine cos honestly im a very stubborn person.. although im suppose to help my antibodies fite the baddies but i always choose to let them fite it out on their own cos calling in reinforcements (medicine) to fite the axis will cost me alot... so reinforcements can be equated to merceneries.. u pay them they fite for u.. and today i just hired a bunch of very very distasteful merceneries.... they call themselves benadryl~ im sure tat unless ure a pharmacist.. u wont know wat tat is... they arm themselves with deadly arsenal like Bromhexine Hydrochloride, Guaiphenesin , Saccharin and Sorbates... and honestly they taste real bad.... my face cringes every time i take 15ml of those merceneries but the saying goes.. no pain no gain...
ok la.. honestly i feel tonnes better already!! so go go benadryl!!

2 days to OC~~~ CALIFORNIA HERE I COME~~ RITE BACK WHERE I STARTED FROM~~

Computer Down

U know .. its funny.. it wasnt till my comp went kaboom on me before i realised im a really really boring person.. my life as it is has totally come to a crashing halt and that without my computer.. my life is colourless and uninteresting.

what happened to my comp?? the cover betwen the lcd screens went kaput on me (luckily it was covered in the warranty) and also my lan cable port doesnt seem to detect the cable (in lay man terms .. no internet access)

but then again... i honestly gotta thank god that it happened near my exams giving me the full concentration to do my studies.. but on the other hand.. it was hard to find material that is posted online without a computer so i had to use my housemates computer for the time being
-_-.... being the sociable person i am (lolz) ive had MSN withdrawal symptoms for the past few days... its like cold turkey without cold... just lotsa boredom.... so.. if u do see me online for whateva reason... talk to me pls.. it will help relieve the stress im in =p haha
thx all

THE F WORD

Its amazing this word.. it starts with F! and can change ure life outside in and inside out... no .. its not the 4 letter word im talking about.. its 3 letters.. can u guess it?

well if u guess Fun~ URE WRONG! its fat...haha

and yes its gotten into me.. ive got ppl from singapore to australia telling me im fat... in fact onli 1 person said i grew thinner... and as u can guess in this superficial world that we live in... ure tummy determines how fit u are haha.

OK I ADMIT i am fat.. but im not like super fat or like sumo size man.. gimme some credit man.. im onli human..i love my chips, theres no taste in no fat milk and the onli cheap things around are junk food. do u wanna live a life where all u ever eat is veges?? (YES IM TALKING U TO U VEGENS!) it takes all the colours of your life away man... eating is one of the pleasures of life! pls prove me wrong ..

anyway last wed during lunch.. 2 of my friends told me i was fat.. AGAIN~ so i asked them.. what would u prefer to hug? a pillow or a rock? its a plain and simple question.. obviously they chose the pillow~

if u chose rock.. u are either lying or a caveman/woman

obviously the answer is the pillow!everyone loves the pillow!~ so i turned to the 2 girls.. pinched my tummy and said.. PILLOW.. then i turned to samuel (my housemate he goes to the gym) and i said ROCK.. now which one do u wanna hug?

their faces turned pale and their jaws drop wide open.. *BINGO GOTCHA* was wat my heart was saying

samuel however came back and said.. if an enemy would come against u and attack u.. would u fite back with a pillow or a rock~ and i rebutted.. i dunt remember using tummies to attack people haha

alrite sorry samuel i didnt mean to put u down or anything i just had to prove a point and u seem to be the best person to compare it to =p no hard feeling ok?

yea but it got to me seriously.. no one likes to be labelled fat and i honestly didnt like the feeling of ppl calling me fat even though i tink im just average =p

so on sat.. i bought a bike and shared it with samuel!! haha fine.. people.. i will exercise now.. dun complain tat im fat anymore

Bus Captain Sean Chin




Today is the day... I change into my super hero identity of BUS CAPTAIN SEAN CHIN!

The bus captains job.. is to entertain the crowd and be accountable of all the peeps on the bus and lemme tell u guys something.. as that five for fiting -superman song goes..'it aint easy to be me' totally sums up everything i am about to say.

Day started of as usual.. me being a piggy was supposed to wake up at 7am and be there by 8 but i woke up at like 6.51am thinking .. heh i got like 9 more min to sleep..next thing i knew.. i woke up at 7.51am ... without much thinking i changed as fast as lightning could... surprisingly took me around 5 min to dress up totally with teeth brushed, hair combed and contacts lenses in.. just to find out that andy was gonna pick me up at 8.15 instead rofl!

when i reached UQ... i had this bus captain session.. and we were briefed on wat to do during the trip there and all and guess wat! i got paired up with judah 2's lemuel~~

we were SUPPOSED to

no.1- play this balloon game whereby we pass balloons to the back and they untie it. then read the paper in the balloon which consists of a tongue twister and pass the tongue twister msg back to the front person

no.2- Charades .. need no explanation

no.3- trivia questions ..

in the end we played... charades .. haha

why?? u mite wonder? simple reason.. most ppl in this world arnt morning people.. so when u are trying to conduct a game to a bunch of half dead ppl that WANT to sleep... its HARD... very HARD..

Our first stop of the day was at harbour town.. time limit there was a whole 1.5 hrs.. in short.. not much time to shop.. so once i was outta the bus.. i went straight to esprit, adidas, fila...
it didnt take much shopping before the time limit ended.. bought 1 shirt, 3 board shorts, 1 slipper, 1 shoe woot!

next stop was somewhere new.. carrara markets... its a flea market!!! i was so thirsty when i got down that i went to the closest drink stall and asked the person for the largest slurpee he had.. he then asked me what flavour i wanted~ but i didnt care much for flavor cos i was like uber thirsty so i told him 'ANY FLAVOUR!'


BOY WAS THAT A BAD DECISION.. instead of giving me any flavour... he gave me EVERY FLAVOUR!... it tasted like tan tock seng hospital btw -_-

i didnt really spend much time at carrara doing anything but some resting and walking cos there really aint much to do there =(

Last stop we had was Surfers paradise... woot!



at first everyone was fascinated by the beach and everyting man.. u dunt get waves that big in asia unless ure stayng at some monsoon zone..

took a few pics there.. and played soccer ... got myself all sandy and uncomfy .. but finaly i could see the end of my job~~

i was so happy when we reached back to UQ man.... was sooo tired... but at least there was dinner coming up at cass' place

Dinner was awesome.... the chicken that alex and david brought were delicious man.. the only flaw was that the house was super stuffy and with all the heat trapped .. it was like a sauna...

durin the dinner there was this small lizard tat popped up on the wall and i suddenly flt the earth shake man.. literally...

NO IM NOT THE GUY THAT JUMPED!... it was alexie instead.. he was afraid of the poor lizard he ran outta the door...

so me and Dvd had to go catch the lizardee.. haha ... we played some dinner games after tat and finished off at around 12 .. i was sooo poopified... slept all the way after tat haha..

Happy Birthday to Me

well well another yr has passed.. another number has jumped

i dunt really feel the difference (though ive been complaining about being old for the past 2 weeks haha!) and honestly to me its another day..

first time in a long time my long tradition of bringing my friends together for secondary school has ceased.. its quite sad really but come to think of it.. all my friends are more distant in a way.. geographically ahah.. its quite sad.. this yr a few went to australia to pursue their degrees and everyone else are already in their unis be it ntu, nus or sim...

everyone... slowly.. but surely... is turning in to an adult.. independence.. love and marraige... no more boy boy antics.. *sigh* but thats the way life is.. we grow up.. =)

The Arena~

The Arena~~ the new debating show on channel 5.. honestly i love debates.. its the more formal version of an argument/repartee which happens to be my expertise~ *i hope*

today was a battle between Kuo Chuan (proposition) & Xin Min (opposition) secondary schools and the topic was Dun't try to be funny; Our society does not encourage humour

So.. how would u argue that..??

honestly if it were up to me .. i'd say the opposition had their job half done for them.. obviously the topic was biased against the proposition~ and it didnt help that kuo chuan basically sucked at debating... not that xin min was any better.. but at least... better..

both teams were just rambling about bits and pieces of information and neglected the topic altogether.. just like a train that had its train tracks switched... exactly like tat..

The best round was probably the 3rd.. both speakers were more or less more eloquent with their debates but it puzzled me that the proposition was more humourous than the opposition whose goal was to show that singaporeans have a funny bone.. but he was serious thru out.. lighten up dude! and it also bugged me that xin mins 3rd speaker made SUPER MINIMAL eye contact with his opponent.. gosh... tink about it .. if i were to argue with u but look at somewhere else.. heh.. gosh amateurs to the core but anyway .. wat can u expect from secondary school students haha..

sorry if im rambling too much on this haaha... honestly i could onli talk about this to regina since we share a common interest in putting each other down but she aint online! so .. could onli do it here ahhaha

Anyway just for fun ...
Best Debater - Xin min 3rd speaker (hands down boi .. u owned kuo chuans ass just have more respect for ure opponent)

Best Judge - Tan kheng hua ( i probably shared my views like she did mine~ Good job for being a guest judge!)

P.S. Adrian pang.. pls.. stop it with the 'lets give a hand for our sponsor new moon .. YEA!~' ure a talanted man.. pls have more variety in ure hosting.

Things I should have done

Date : Around Oct 1996

What happened: The class party we had was almost over.. no one ate the mango pudding i brought and so while Mrs Goh.. My pri 6 school teacher was away for her meeting.. i asked my classmates if anyone wanted any pudding cos i didnt wanna bring it back~ i even asked my cass monitor whether it was alrite to give it away and he consented
When Mrs Goh came back .. she was angry at me for giving away the mango pudding without her permission wanted to punish me.
She called the class around and debated to a bunch of 12 yr olds.. whether what i did was wrong.. In my defence.. i reiterated what she told us at the beginning of the year "When i am not around.. listen to the class monitor"
it was then when i saw who were my real friends.. the teachers pet Barry obviously said i was wrong while my other friends helped to defend me. I on the other hand... just stayed quiet.. too shy .. too afraid to do anything

What i should have done: Now that i have grown up and thought about it.. i could have won that debate hands down.. i should have.. and if god gave me a chance i would have.. no more will i keep quiet and let others protect me.. i will stand on my own 2 feet .. with my tongue which the devil shaped... but god transformed... and i will do good with the abilities that i have

My first dream by God

Today i awoke with a very excited feeling... cos today.. God gave me my first dream of him

it didnt start out good i suppose... i fell out with this friend of mine... and i started roaming the mall.. and soon after i realised i had to go to the toilet.. so i went and did my business there.. after i left the toilet i saw the sun.. and everytime the suns rays hit someone .. it was like a large dosage of UV rays just hit him and he was getting older and everytime it hit another person.. the same thing happened... but the sun had only a small outlet to shine its rays .. so imagine a spotlight that is hunting u down... i tried to run away from the sun rays and barely made it to this store.. at the store.. i went inside to try to find the best sunscreen lotion i could find.. but could only get the sample version of it (those free small packs) so i went out and applied some on my body and then walked away... it wasnt long before long when i realised... i left my bag in the toilet.... deja vu.. i seem to be leaving alot of things in the toilet these days .. so i ran with all my might to the toilet but found another bag there... with grass in it...

i was devastated ... i felt helpless... so remorseful.... cos my PSP was in it!! (i never realised how important my PSP was till this).. i ran around and was trying to search for my bag but i couldnt find it... i met some past friends which i havent met for ages! and they all told me tat they didnt see my bag either.. i was so frustrated and sad... i ran till i fell... flat on the floor.. weeping.. and crying.. it was then i turned to god.... i repented my sins and asked him for forgiveness.. and immediately... an old man walked out from the wall and gestured me to come with him... he led me to this chinese stall just 1 m away and i followed.. inside the stall on a round table were 4 old man playing cards and at one corner of the store was my bag sitting there.... he gestured me to go take my bag and so i did...

When i did the 4 old men suddenly jumped up and wanted to get my bag back!! but the old man held the other men back and asked me to go .... i ran out.. and woke up..

i was so happy and i searched for someone on my msn list to talk to about it and i found Rae ~~
i told her of my interpretation of my dream and she asked me to pray about it.. she also led me to this passage in Isaiah 50:2-4 which reads

When i came, why was there no one?
When i called, why was there no one to answer?
Was my arm too short to ransom you??
Do i lack the strength to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke i dry up the sea i turn rivers into a desert their fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst
I clothe the sky with darkness and make sackcloth its covering

The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue to the word that sustains the weary he wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listen like one being taught

This passage talks about the sin of Israel..Just as Israel was the chosen nation, so am i who was chosen by God to not rely on my own strength but rely on him.. and to not sin against him.

Amazing dream wasnt it... i was surprised myself... my believe tat the dream was telling me that although i am closer to God but still... i am constantly sinning against him...but even though my bag got stolen (by the 4 old men/devils), God (the other old man) led me back to it and even fended them off for me.. its so wonderful.. and im proud to share this with everyone!!

Its just another Manic Sunday!!~~

Heez.. Sunday! my first sunday.. gonna go to planet shakers today!! i honestly havent heard of planet shakers till 1 day b4 i left..
Sunday also means 2.50 for transport all day!! do u know it costs me $12.60 just to get to the city from Berwick~?
So Regina decided we should just go to the city and check it out!! haha so off we went to Flinders st station!! The first place i went to was federation square which was just opposite the road.. there was this basker over there actually.. was real funny.. his trick was to juggle i tink.. but his performance was great... he entertained the crowd with his jokes and all.. was real good..
further down there was this art gallery showing the different photos of nature and earth.. was really good ..

next we walked below this bridge to find a sorta sunday market going on and the first thing i saw was this zither chord thingy.. its like a piano and a guitar in one? quite kewl actually and the guy playing it actually sells his own cd's..

After the market.. we went around the cultural arts centre where ASTRO BOI was being exhibited! .. was kewl to see an asian artform in australia.. but time flew and i had to meet lixin to go for service.. so we went all the way down swanston st to meet her.
While walking down to Swanston.. we met Regina's housemate, Mavis, and she was on her way home .. Regina wanted to go back with her though.. not tat i wouuld have stopped her(cos she wasnt gonna come with us for service) but in the end she accompanied me to the tramstop and saw us off... cos she had alot of time to kill b4 the next train arrived anyway hehe...
but anyway .. the tram arrived so me and lixin went on our way to PLANETSHAKERS!!!
when i arrived there.. i was kinda nervous since i heard it was GUUD!!! and lo and behold... IT ROCKED!!! the service was damn good la... but lixin had to go back to pack .. i didnt really get to meet anyone except for Paul... he's a kewl guy.. very nice haha.. our first subject was about losing our girlfriends in army lor... power rite?? haha

Anyway we left the place soon after to catch a tram back into the city... from what regina said.. the city's lights are beautiful at night so i requested lixin to accompany me to take pictures of the nite life.. it was beautiful as expected hehe..

The trip back to Berwick was as usual horrendously long.. but it was nice to get to know more about Lixin although she was going to go back the next day.. i got invited to city harvest too! makes me so excited to go back to singapore.. heh.. wat a manic sunday this was =p
