Yay! this is my 30th post for my blog alr... haha, dunno if it's good or bad...? but then again, i suppose it's something worth celebrating?

Today, as excepted... a full day... My whole class went to watch POTC3 but i didn't go... cos i couldn't find them and was slacking in school too long alr... so in the end when i called seela to ask where they were, they said they were on their way to vivo to watch POTC at 0930. Then i looked at my watch: 0910... sianz...

But i guess it's a blessing in disguise?? Cos I manage to go down to Toa Payoh Stadium to watch the basketball girls finals with rjc. I almost missed the bus down the stadium... guess i was pretty fortunate :)

To victorians who weren't there just now: you should have been there to feel the atmosphere sia... I mean it's cool! Everyone was so crazy and high la... At first i thought i would not have the stamina to cheer on for VJC for 1 hour plus... but but but... i did it... now that i think back, it's really quite impossible how i did it... perhaps it's really the Victorian Spirit that stirred me up :) [But then again, i think God played a more impt role :P]

anyway, when i first went in the court, i was like... my gosh! cos the no. of rj ppl supporting is like so so many as compared to vj ppl... i was like telling maziah that it is the result for having a full day off... sigh. However, that did not kept us down!! we started off with a super loud cheer (cant rmb alr, cos shouted too many of the cheers). Then to us, it seemed like we are cheering more loudly than rj's because we cant here them when we cheer... dunno if it's true... During the match, at every regular intervals, esp when rj is attacking, you will hear vj ppl screaming and cheering and shouting things like "Defend/Defence". Was super mad la... we even screamed to a point that my eardrums was momentarily destroyed by all the high decibels screams (part of it was contributed by me :x). It was so powerful and intensifying to a point when we were on a winning streak, at every 5 seconds' interval, a vj cheer will be shouted across the court. Oh and during after time, cos rj was leading vj by 8 points, i had decided to eat up all my green and other colours of M&Ms, leaving only the yellows, reds and orange ones. And i guess that worked?? lol... guess i m too superstitious...

The results: WE WON!!! 53-50. An exciting and tough and close match. One of the best games i had ever been to :D

With our morale boosted to the max, we took the charted bus and went to Jalan Besar 2 hours earlier to support the soccer girls in their finals against sajc. So early right?? Well i spent the 2 hours accompanying dish and wash to hawker centre to eat their LUNCH and watched the last part of the 3rd/4th placing match between tj and rj... rj won 1-0.

Then the game started.. not too long later, caron shidah nasrul zamir siswand taufiq (together with elliot but he went to sit with the sailors) came for match support... haha, finally my friends are here :) and according to nasrul, after watching POTC, the guys went to bookstores and walked around vivo while the girls went SHOPPING!! ok ok... enough of digressing. as i was saying, they came and sat with them as a class to cheer on the girls. but the atmosphere was rather different from the one for bball.. less enthu... then i cant scream for them cos they were no where near the area behind the white line and the net. And during half time, sajc scored a goal because vj's defender fell down while catching the ball that she missed, that's why the sa ppl get to score a goal into an empty net... somethign like vj's 4th goal in soccer boys finals last year...

And as concluded: we lost to sajc by the score of 1-0. Clinched a 2nd position.

Sigh... although this year's sports were not very good, still we will continue to love and respect them for all their efforts... Fight on vj fight on!!

ah, guess i m resting now... need to rest my throat after screaming and shouting for 1 whole day... till then... byeeeeeeeeeeee :D

just went blog surfing... then i happen to go to some fellow's blog whom I haven't visited for a long time...

apparently, the person's recently attached and when i read this person's posts... I was so shocked la... super emo sia... I'm overwhelmed i tell u... Cos the person looks like a joker or is full of crap when out in a group in the past... but now seems so sad sad and emo... (feels like the person's having problem with the relationship).

then it suddenly dawn on me: will i be as emo as this person when i am in a relationship? it feels super awful feeling the way that fellow felt... i mean it's so horrible... it scares me to think that i will be that in the future...

BUT then again... i know that i may not be that emo after all :) haha... surrending my relationships (ie bgr matters) to the Lord will definately not make me feel that emo? cos i know that when the time is ripe, THE ONE will appear before me and will be the one that the Lord has given me... just like how Adam met Eve and how Issac met Rebekah... in a way it is very romantic =) for those who dunno what i am talking about, read the book of Genesis!
[this reminds me of one song from the youth hymnal: the Bible is a romance, in the most holy sense... so true =)]

in conclusion: PRAY AND WAIT...

then there's another problem: it seems like i cant wait for the Lord to show me the right one... i feel so despo :( dunno if it's normal to feel that a not... maybe someone can tell me?? a lot of time i told myself to wait upon the Lord but the despo feeling will just keep coming up from time to time... sianz... why are temptations so hard to resist... sob sob...

then again, it seems to me that all the more i should trust in Him... In Him i can find strength and the will to go on living in this world which i dun feel like to... cos of the stressed and busy lifestyle i am having now... Although i tell ppl i am fine with my life, actual fact it's not... but then again how to tell ppl when u are not when things are rather complicated, with lousy grades, improper time management and troubling family matters to factor in? haha...

Conclusion #2: Trust in the Lord always :)

I just realised some thing just now during my group discussion for YYP... i had completely forgotten to pray for my studies... it came as a bolt when out group was praying... probably that explains why i didn't do well for CTs and class tests... LOL!
Sorry Lord for not surrending my studies to You... I will do so from now on....

ok, gotta go now... byezzz....

P.S. this is not an emo post... the fellow mentioned above had posts worst than mine :P

It was almost a nice, thrilling and exciting soccer semi-finals at the CCAB from 3-530pm...

Alas! In the VJ camp while VJ is against RJ (to gain a footstool to the finals held at National Stadium this coming thursday), a group of MI guys were spoiling the mood by disrupting the spirit and the atmosphere of the whole match...

Dunno where they came from and why they want to do this to us... Siao one...

Anyway, some background info: VJ and RJ were having penalties to decide the winner. While VJ is trying hard to focus and shoot the ball in the net, this group of MI boys, about 7-8 of them, were making a lot of noise (although they did shout for VJ... they did it when our players were about to strike)when they were surrounded by Victorians. And when it was RJ's turn, they were shouting things like "Go RJ...", irritating us you know...

Then in the end: VJ lost to RJ (we tied at 1-1)in penalties--> 6-7

I mean as in i dun care if RJ win or VJ lose in the end... but what makes me enraged is that this group of troublemakers are just there to spoil the whole thing... by being so extra... It could have ended off in a very sad but proud-of-them feeling but they just had to make me very shocked and angry when i leave the place. What's more, they were so diruptive to the point that Mr Seet had to stand before them... which didn't work; and in the end, he had to confront them and eventually this group of guys were being asked to leave by some admin guy...

This is seriously so maddening... and sad.. and shocked... and angry... and... arrgh, and all other emotions to describe the 'injustice' that had happened...

But then again, what can i do now? RJ won and they will be fighting against MJ in the finals at National Stadium... I do hope MJ will win... Cos i think they are the team which are of VJ's standard and they have what it takes? Anyway, GO VJ GO VJ GO!!! lol...

(Oh Mr Tan, get well soon from food poisoning..)

Nvm, we still have basketball girls finals to win RJ... Mr Chan had better give us at least a half-day on thursday and full day on friday so that we all can go down and support hockey girls and bball girls in their finals... I WANT MY DAY OFF :(
(your classical example of a slacker :P)

hmph... anyway, it was kind of a good game, seeing so many nice moves and cool actions by the boys... Guess the soccer boys will still be loved by the school yea?

well, got to go now... it's getting late alr... I can wake up late in the morning again :)) [= enough sleep/rest]

yay! byeee.... :D

Esther knows that she is not suppose to be here right now but she just has the urge to post a blog to attempt to bring some life to her blog... lol...

haha...

anywayz, enough of my crap. Yesterday was Mother's Day. Glad that I had managed to make something for my mother on the day itself :x. I made her a bouquet of flowers, consisting of 18 lilies of the colours yellow, orange, pink and white. Ok, i know that shyn is most likely gonna say that i have a bad sense of colour but i thought the whole thing came out quite nice... so yar... (but i know my mum likes it so that's enough for me i suppose :D) I hope i can get the picture uploaded to my blog asap for all to criticise...

Well, i am gonna die for chem test tmr...

haven't study + tough paper= 100% fail...

BUT before i leave, i would like to end of with a hymn which i enjoyed a lot while i was on my way home, listening to my mp3... Enjoy :))

Who shall not fear your name, Oh King,
Oh Lord of all the Earth,
For this is your rightful due...
In all the kingdoms of the world,
The name of Jesus stands alone,
For there is none like you...

Who shall not honour your name, Oh King,
Oh Lord of all the Earth,
For this is your rightful due...
In all the kingdoms of the world,
The name of Jesus stands alone,
For there is none like you...

Who shall not worship your name, Oh King,
Oh Lord of all the Earth,
For this is your rightful due...
In all the kingdoms of the world,
The name of Jesus stands alone,
For there is none like you...

Who shall not fear your name,
Who shall not honour you,
Who shall not worship Christ the King of Glory...
Who shall not fear your name,
Who shall not honour you,
Who shall not worship Christ the Lord of All!

Who shall not fear your name, Oh King,
Oh Lord of all the Earth,
For this is your rightful due...
In all the kingdoms of the world,
The name of Jesus stands alone,
For there is none like you...
The name of Jesus stands alone,
For there is none like you...

AMEN :))

haha... back again... shall try to be more active.. (w/o compromising my studies that is :D)

Shall share about what was being gone through for the last Saturday's Youth and Young People's Meeting. We kind of went on to a new topic... after 2 week, i think, of conducting ourselves as Singles...

We talked about how do we know we are ready to enter into a relationship/marriage and when can we go into one (if applicable).

Firstly, bro. Wicky started his sharing by showing photos of him and sis Helen (awww...lol.), and then a diagram of him classifying people into 6 broad categories on our readiness to enter into a relationship/marriage. In short, people who are ...

-Ready and are sure= Mature
-Ready and are not sure= Happy-go-lucky
-Not ready and are sure= Focus/Playboy(girl)
-Not ready and are not sure= Innocent/Honey bees (hb being the most pitiful because they go into a relationship just because others are in one...)

woah... i tell u... when i look at the diagram, i was like super confused... cos i dun even know which category i am in... i know for sure that i am not in the first... it feels as if i am jumping around between the other 3 categories... but with much further thinking, i think i am either innocent or a honey bee... (innocent would be better of course)
what do u all think?? haha.

Then later... many brothers went up to share about being mature in relationship... ie in order to get into one, we all must be mature in handling this relationship and bear responsibility for it...

But what touched me the most is the sharing by sis shufang... when she shared that everything is all planned by God alr... even when we are suppose to be in a relationship and get married. She then brought up verses from Ecclesiastes 3:1 and 11, which says that:

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven... He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end."

So... we should not worry and start thinking that when we should get into relationship or if we are able to find one... because God has alr planned out ALL for us... and will reveal to us when the time is ripe... So in the meantime, we should consecrate ourselves to the Lord, and not rush into relationships... because if suppose we are in a relationship at 18 and live till say 80 years old... we will be trapping ourselves in this 'whirlpool' of relationship for 62 yrs...

wow...

so while we are still young and single, we should focus our time into serving the Lord and pay close attention to our walk with Him... because it is the best time now to pursue Him and serve Him. Hallelujah!

Yeah Man... I Amen to whatever that was shared that day... was really a meaningful meeting... cos God had also speak to me during the meeting too :) hope that this pace could be kept up and my relation with God would improve :D

Ok... got to sleep now... see you ppl soon again :))

Yar... what can i say but... I AM BACK BLOGGING AGAIN!! haha.

Actually, I had wanted to blog for so so so many times blog about the major events of my life... but then I had either no time or just too lazy to do so... looking back, I had actually not blogged for 1 month plus alr... wow... i guess a blog isn't the right place for me to express myself well and maybe to let my emotions run..?

Haha. seriously, i thank God that VICOMP 07 is finally over :) But 美中不足的是：on the day itself, we totally like screw up the whole event la...
Primary school: all is well except for the fact that the whole thing ended too fast??
Secondary school: Programming section was suppose to be 1 hour but it became 2 in the end... and worse still, during the final round, there were problems with the scoring system and that the answers displayed and the options were hay-wired... so much so that han teng had to void some of the questions...

sigh...

but well, at least it's over now and with so many errors to be corrected, I believe that VICOMP 08 would be a roaring success... at least I HOPE... haha. well, in all things, give thanks :)

FOTY!! haha... the nightmare's finally over... was chionging the last video like siao... my freaking lagging and error-filled computer... gave me so many errors when I needed to rush out the faces video by yesterday morning!! (i was told to do the video like the day before...) In the end, because of that, I can only finish it at 2am when it can be done by say.. 12am?? (and without my mum's nagging... lol.) When... at least the effect did came up well... ppl kind of like it so... ok lor... haha.

I realise sth: how come all my enteries seem to have ah Q's spirit. So that would make me less sad?? hmm....

Well shan't talk too much here alr... need to go off soon le... anyway, just a reminder to myself and for folks who would like to know, this was what major event had taken place over the last month:

- VICOMP 2007
- the Amazing Grace
- Musicfest 2007
- Drama Nite 2007

i think that's about it?? (but i thought there was somemore... sigh... getting old alr...) and the worst of all: heaps and heaps of unfinished tutorials and videos to be done (cheerleading, musicfest 06, etc...)

haha. got to go now... see you all next time... byeee... :))
