Well, the month of December is coming already, and the much anticipated church camp starts soon! Yay! Hope all of you guys have fun there, and I'm sure we'll like the St James people. Talking about the camp, I just realised that I missed the briefing on Sunday... Had to help Uncle Leng Khoon with the catalog. In case you guys didn't know, the library can always be used if you need to get closer to God, just borrow a book that helps teach you what you want to know about God and read it. If you guys want to borrow books, you can approach Uncle Leng Khoon or me. No problem! And about the briefing, Jon told me about the stuff. The only thing that I'm trying to figure out is whether I'm supposed to bring my Amp. Well, congrats to all ten people who got confirmed, hope you guys go to Holy Communion every fortnight! Yay... Wow, Liverpool won 2-1, and against Arsenal too. Neil Mellor's last minute 20 yard strike was really cool. I bet even if the keeper was at ...

Well, all exams are over!!! Better not be too happy, my brothers willl hog the com. Forgive me if I do not update this BLOG for a few days. Well, the twins got 253 and 242. One's definitely going to NUS High, the other hasn't decided yet. Watch out Kangdi, maybe he might make it to ACSI... Well, practice on Friday after guitar wasn't bad. We just played the songs to the best of our ability. Gerald sung pretty weirdly, but so did I. Yay... Well, Chee Seng's leading worship this time, and I'm sure it'll be a blast... You guys must be wondering why I'm saying "yay" so much. I'm under the influence of Hyqel and Karthik...

This few days are getting really busy, a lot of stuff to do for CCA. Need to buy stuff for the farewell party for the Sec4s later, need to prepare stuff for it... Well, we had a soccer match for PT after practice, the score was 7-2 in our favour. The first time I played soccer for 1 hour in a long time. Well, I scored twice. Once with a solo effort and once from a cross! Yay! Match Stats: RIGE Team One - 7 RIGE Team Two - 2 Yu Sheng (OG) 3' (Team2) Karthik 8' 27' 55' 57' (Team1) Benjamin 16' 31' (Team1) Chin Heng 42' (Team2) Yu Sheng 40' (Team1) After the match, we met for awhile to plan for the farewell party. Have to get souvenirs and snacks and a cake. On Thursday we went out with the RGGE Exco. Cool meeting. We discussed a lot about how to solve both CCA's problems and how to colaborate in future. Ming Fang, Emily and Wu Lei are nice people actually. Yay... Afterward we went to watch the Incredibles. Karthik and Hyqel tol...

Its the hols, yet I'm still soooo busy. Got CCA, homework, all kinds of extra stuff, camps, you name, it, I've got it. As Shan told you guys, I'm a busy boy. The twins played a combined total of 55 hours this week. Its a lot more than the amount of sleep I have for a week actually. Don't really feel too pleased with that. Thats why I haven't been online or updating my BLOG often. What so good about MU? I got a haircut, and my mom insists that I look better with side partings rather that center. I beg to differ actually. But you have to respect her decision, of course. I think I'm too filial... Well, Liverpool just lost 1-0 to Monaco. Saviola scored although there were some offside issues involved. This is the first time I've watched a soccer match in quite a long time. I must say I'm quite satisfied. Well, Sunday was a long day. YE was great. I felt that Tim's sharing really hit me hard. To tell the truth, throughout the song, my eyes were t...

Well, I've been looking at other peoples BLOGs to see how I can improve mine and I discovered a lot of stuff that I didn't know about programming and stuff like that... Thank you you guys for coming to look at my BLOG although its not much to look at. Glad to know that Ernest is back!! He must have felt terrible while he was sick, so we're all glad he's ok. Thank God for helping him and all the prayers for him. Well, thats all for now. EPL updates will be coming on Tuesday morning so stay tuned... Mean while, I'll go tag somebody else's board...

Repairing a guitar is hard work. Well, before YE on Sunday, I noticed that one of the nuts on my guitar was lost. Today, I went around looking for it in the hardware store, Guitar store and DIY store at IMM. Well, they were either too big or too small. Then I went to West Mall to search, but couldn't find it either. If I don't get it repaired by Friday, I might not even have a guitar to bring to practice at St James. I'd better pray really hard that I'll find it soon... Talking about St James, I noticed something coincidential. On Friday, me, Rachel, Melissa and Hui Juan are going down there to practice. Out of us four, three of us used to go to St James together when we were toddlers. Pretty coincidential isn't it? Just thinking about it makes me feel weird all over. Well, church camp is coming. I can't wait...

Wow... My brothers busted the laptop... played 7 hrs everyday, no wonder. At least I've still got the com. Well, no more soccer for me cos my dad cancelled the channels 23 and 24. (You guys should know about the Starhub vs ESPN fiasco) Nothing to do on Saturday and Sunday nights except sleepp. Well, a lot more has happened this past weekend, and I'm not sure where to start... On Monday we had a small basketball and soccer match with... my father! Wow, who knew that he was still so athletic? After a slip disc operation two or three years ago, he could still play well. Sunday wasn't bad at all, during YE, Zhi Wei told us about the importance of being as one in YE, and after that we aired our views in our cells. We talked about the cliques, and other stuff like BB, GB and the Sermon material. After YE, I interacted a bit with the girls (something that I don't do most of the time) and we played cards. Hmm... not bad being around girls actually. O Yeah... Sorry ...

Just got an invitation to join Ge Qin Run's MSN Group, and I must say I'm quite honoured. While he was at RI 3B, I regarded him as one of the top thinking minds in school. Now I get to join his Group... That should be quite interesting. Wonder how he's doing in Canada now? Well, Saturdays practice was weird... Electone acted weirdly; suddenly tuned a tone down on the first song, made us tune our guitars according to the electone; then afterward on the last song in went back to its original pitch, made us tune back... That isn't supposed to happen with an electone is it? Well, practice at St James is on 19th and 21th (Now then remember...)

Well, Wednesday was a guitar training day, and it was my first in a long, long time. I'm glad I got into the gist of the new song quickly, but there was no PT after the practice because of the rain. That disappointed me actually. We've gone a long time without soccer for PT, and I was hoping for a good chance to train my stamina... Well, in place of PT we had a discussion about the Pot Luck for the retiring Mdm Leong, and we got feedback from Mr Tan that Mdm Leong did not want such an extravangance to be gifted to her. Guess we'll still continue with the Pot Luck though, cos we'll be able to say bye to the Sec 4's too. Had a discussion with the RGS Exco on MSN, and it wasn't bad, with plenty of good ideas being discussed, and the meeting being scheduled on the 25th, a Thursday. Wonder what they're actually like? According to what I've seen from the discussion, they're quite nice people and also very focused in what they do. I also noticed that ...

Well, the RISE concert was great, our rendition of Jiro Hasebe's Summer Wind was great, on the overall it was cool. After that we went to Suntec at 6pm, and that's where my head started to ache. Once I returned to Bishan, I passed the stuff to Yu Sheng and went home by cab. It ached all the way home and I slept once I reached my bed. The brothers were still playing the Ps and Com sin my room so I chased them away... Well, sorry for not being at church all you YE people out there, the concert was from 4 to 6 and the rehearsals at 2 to 4. I've just added a tagboard thingy, and don't forget to link me (If you want).

Wow... I missed so much while I was gone. Great EPL and Champs League Action, Arsenal Sharing top position with Chelsea, Michael Owen scoring again... Guitar Practices, church, writing on my BLOG... China was full of weird stuff like palaces, temples, the great wall, science museums, mausoleums, but it was quite ok. NEVER eat the seafood or tofu at Beijing, they have some kind of weird smell, maybe not that fresh. Our family stuck to fast food and hotplate stuff. Once I stepped on to the street, I saw thousands of signboards with chinese on them. (Actually I was knid of confused when I first looked at them) Now I know the importance of chinese. Well, we had a jamming session in church just yesterday and it was good. Learnt a lot of stuff from Tim, heard a little about our outreach stuff and saw one of the girl's (Amanda's?) cute dog. Well, getting my guitar by next week so that I can help in the YE...
