Its starting to get very very monotonous. School that is. The same thing week in, week out really gets to you yeah? As my last post, I got quite a couple of things to say before I go on hiatus. *** Announcement RIGE concert! 31st Aug 2007 7:30pm New RI Auditorium I doubt I'll be going, but those who're interested may fancy a chance to get entertained and relieve some stress. If enough guitar people commit themselves to going I may succumb to peer pressure and go along too. Ah I miss guitar peoples. The only people I see regularly are Chin Heng, Jon Chua and Shu Hui. Where are the rest of you guys? Hope your mugging's going well. *** Random The YE teaching by Shirley made me think of a nice song. Hungry by Kathyrn Scott. If you want the song you can let me know. Here are the lyrics. Hungry Verse 1 Hungry, I come to You for I know You satisfy I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry So I wait for You So I wait for You Verse 2 Broken, I run to You for Your arms are ope...

Well guys... 1 more week and a couple more days left to the first few papers of the Prelims. Oddly, I feel no stress at all. Everything is in His hands. *** S03H This week's civics was about career choice. My choice is really obvious, and I've already planned for it, as well as the alternatives should I fail or should God choose for me to go somewhere else. Medicine, here I come. Pathology here I come. PSC Open Med Scholarship here I come. God bless this path I have chosen. May He see my desire and work through me for His own glory. One thing I was exceptionally glad about the lesson was the Mr Wong sat with me and Chris and asked us about our aspirations. Chris's desire to be in banking seems pretty good for him I think. And Mr Wong asked me a couple of questions any interviewer would ask an interviewee for med. And I was really glad that I could answer from the depths of my heart. It just showed me that I was prepared enough to answer anything that the panel of interviewe...

This post is another one for YE people! Do read it... *** Remember the book Gerald gave me? I've read through it... And its been a really useful book in encouraging me. Thinking of lending it out to my fellow A level takers... My guess is that most of you guys have been thinking about your future, but seeing all the uncertainty that lies ahead is really quite unsettling. Well I know, cos I feel the same. Faith! This book may help! Written by Phil Pringle, the preacher for this year's FOP. If you liked his sermons and were touched by it, you'll like the book as well. He talks about the qualities that have to do with faith, and faith with links to prayer, to trials and to his experiences. The most important thing about faith is that it is a feeling of utter confidence (not arrogance). The feeling that you know exactly what the Lord is doing and you're confident in the choices you make. And as you read the book, this feeling will start to grow in you! Those who wanna borro...

Happy birthday mom! Hope you liked the Ajisen dinner we went for. And thanks Gerald for buying that cheese cake for my mom. She liked it a lot. I think she's gonna make lots more yummy stuff for you to eat in future. *** YE Well, I'm 18 now... So went clubbing to just get the general feel of things. Some of you guys may have gasped... But I assure you that I didn't drink, and I just went to see something new! I'll never go again though, its not my cup of tea. So some of of us went down to the Butter Factory, which is quite a small club. Me, Rach, Gerald, Paul and his gf. Nothing much to do there except see people dance (well they at least try to) and look at all the strobe lights whirling around and stuff like that. Jon and Eugene joined us later after booking out of camp for the nat day holidays. The thing that surprised me was that there was a small region in Singapore just dedicated to clubs. All the hoo-hah about Singapore being a conservative society isn't tota...

Here's a bible verse that I wanna quote... Seems relevant for everyone today! " Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts . Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice . Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always ." ~ Psalm 105:1-4 Self explanatory, don't you think? Its both a blessing , and a command . *** Soccer Charity Shield! Man U 1 Chelsea 1 Man U wins 3-0 on penalties. Its soccermugger time! First real matches come during the incoming weekend. Look out for it! *** S03H Joanne! Nice meeting you. Its quite surprising that I still can make new friends at a time like this. The circumstances in which we met were really surprising. I think she's the friendliest person I've ever met. Talking to me even though we've never spoken before. ! Suddenly I realise where I've seen you before. You went to Hann...

Brains full of econs stuff... Can't think straight! Just realised today the consumption function doesn't equal to AE. Its a wonder how I managed to get past so many weeks of econs lessons without realising. And after the latest session of money I finally know what 'hot money' and 'capital inflow' is and its due to an increase in interest rate. I think. Oh well. *** S03H Grad night stuff is settled! Really glad about the people in my table. Its a mixture of 3H and 6S people... And I know most of em from random places. Out of 12 people 8 are from 3H (which I feel a bit guilty about) the rest of them are Jon Chua from GE, Trixie from Leonard's OG, Bel from Glimpse of Glory and SV. Looking forward to meeting the last person! Wondering what I'm gonna be wearing. Definitely not something formal. Maybe the same thing I wore for the Christmas celebration with YE last year? We'll see. Exciting! *** YE Whoa... Here we come! Here we come! FOP was great. That w...
