i was just going through my picture folder and found this. memories of the last 2 years just flashed through my mind. amirul was at my house like 2 hours ago. uploaded past photos that he had taken from my folder and they were mainly last year.
time passed so fast.. too fast ain't it?. this photo was like taken during last year's teachers' day. only can use photos and brief memories to rmb what had happened in the past.
so now's the present. everyone's changed and different. big changes.
i don't know why i have pictures of fishes also.
then all the hmw starts piling up. no time to breathe. work work work. tests every single day except for friday. reserved for cca. 8 subjects to cope, 9 actually, cause social studies stand alone is one subject. then you hate the subject because you hate the teacher.
sometimes when you get driven crazy, your mind will have hallucinations like this :
joined d&t cause expected mr koh to teach. in the end i have miss seah. okay larrh. then you have teachers like :
Miss Wang shooting add. maths stuff off her mouth
Mr Koh talked about a guy telling him that he school was bad for him so far. reason?. the teacher got attitude problem. haa. what actually made the guy say so?. because the teacher called his parents fot not doing hmw. haa!. damn freaking funny.
then you have that chain letter mail where attitude = 100%. love = 47%. luck = 54%
so there it went on. if you have luve and luck, you get more than what you need. 101%. so what's the formula for this?.
ans : love + luck = domination in everything. [ agree with this?. i don't. haa ]
are we able to gain back the carefree life we had in the past?.
playing in the playground, freedom! [ are we able to gain that back?. ]
i want my life back!
sometimes you just can't resisit looking at a picture of 9 hot ladies in it. amirul, ain't that right?. see, that's the best part of being a cameraman.

choir concert
Friday, January 20, 2006
haa. okae. so here i am online at 1 in the morning.
just had my dinner at around 12 plus so can't sleep yet. not suppose to eat actually. but hungry. no choice. didn't eat anything from lunchtime until then.
i shall start off my post by telling what funny thing happened today. haa. the chinese auditorium thing. what the funny thing was that they had invited an plump lady to talk aboout this 7 -11 book which the whole cohort doing chinese had to buy and write a review. but i didn't read the book at all so i was totally clueless about what the lady was talking about.
the way she spoke could hear that she's form china. from the fluency of speech and the speed. so this guy spoke up and talked back to the lady by saying : " shi ma?. " means "really? " in chinese. the way he spoke, he imitated the china accent. hod of mother tongue then came along and asked him to stand up as a punishment. think it was just a joke. who would want to attend a chinese language talk anyway?. everyone was feeling restless and some even did their hmw will the lady was talking.
the two teachers there were totally blind. a few people managed to pon the talk by running out of the audi without them spotting at all. if not wrong they were samantha and another girl. all i saw was that two girls running out of the auditorium without being spotted. now it has been fitted with security cameras. wonder if they filmed down the whole talk. i would want a copy of it. only the last part.
time passed and it striked 2.30. time to go! unfortunately, not yet. the lady was sent off. there went the rambling and moaning of the hod of mother tongue. she went : " during my 20 years of teaching, nvr in life did i see once people like you behaving like that in a talk. you ruined the school's reputation and name. that lady goes to more than 60 schools to have a talk. and this was the kind of impression you gave her. if she could use other schools to compare with ours, she could also use our school to compare with others. " then she went on and on.
do you have " carather?. " haa. her english wasn't strong in terms of pronounciation, concluding based from the rambling she made. then the other joined in the rambling as well. they were many things that they said which were so funny that i couldn't hold back my laughter. only had to press my noise so that i could calm down. there was this part where the both of them supported each other in the rambling that i wanted to say that it was a duet. haa. but i was busy laughing!. haa. from the whole thing, the most memorable part was : " carather "
so i shall now blog on what happened last night, TK's very own choir concert :
those who weren't there for it, can tell you that you missed out a really fantastic and awesome concert. the songs were great, atmosphere was cool, except that there were ringing tones every now and then when sebsible people should know what to do : switch off their handphone or turn them to silent mode.
amirul : sorry can't get any pics of you on stage. cause i was sitting quite far, well not really, could capture your face but the pics were blur. my hands were shaking. wanted to bring my tripod but it would be a lil extra. the person sitting behind me would not be able to see the front. so sorry bro!.
anglican high was also there. tkps also. haa. those lil primary kids were so cute!. =) especially their voices. haa. then their songs were like.. light-heartening. basically all the songs were light-heartening and isn't those heavy kind. except for some by anglican high. i'm not criticising them but.. really, the songs that they sang, think two of them were weird. can't rmb which one.
should have seen anglican high's choir. their dress code for the guys were like black shirt and pants with a white tie. but the moment you see them you can spot the difference b/w them and tk's. they had lil guys, i think. lil as in numbers. then there was this song when one part of it they went " meow. "
the song spirited away is rocking my world now. i may not be a person who totally appreciates choir music. but i'm definitely sure that this song rocks. i guess some people just couldn't wait for tk's choir to sing that.
haa. edmund should have been there. edmund, if you are reading this i'll tell ya why. your grace has grown taller that you never expected. how did you do it?.
here's a photo to share with you all.
on the whole, it was totally awesome and great!. just by looking at you brightens up my day.
yeah, so after that left the place to have a bite or smth. then stopped by at the bridge to take photos. looks like i'm now a cameraman. haa. i have the photo but not putting it up. haa. i'm not in a position or shall i say that i do not have the right to put up those photos without the consent of those people who were in them.
btw, nicholas, don't ever take my photo while i'm on the phone. haa.
then walked with the others all the way to coffee bean, i had a cup of iced cappuccino. so then we were all chatting. tan mui mui was with her own clique then. sitting a distance away from us. she didn't spot us until when we called out to her when she left the place. she had that shocked face. what did she do that made her feel shocked?. hmmmm.
it was like coming to 11 i think and we were still there. left the place then there were a big bunch of people following us. was their intention to get directions or were they following us cause there were girls?. i don't know. ?=.=?
went the wrong way i guess. but then still managed to find our way to the mrt stn. raffles place there is really big. or should i say shenton way. everywhere you look are offices so you can't really tell the difference esp. when it's in the night.
so now i'm home, safe and sound. and might sleep anytime now. looks like i should really do it now. otheriwse i won't have enough concentration to conquer what's gonna come my way.
* reason why i had my date changed to the 20th is that i do not want to forget what had happened and what i had seen and what i have felt and gone through this day. cause all of them were pleasant and just by reading this post again will refresh my memory. i will nvr forget this day.
* so now i'm blogging on the 21st of jan. what i blogged about was on 20th of jan.

faith
Tuesday, January 17, 2006
today marks the worst day of PO has ever come to.
but whatever happens, i know He's always with me. i will live my live by faith. my mum can take away all my things or even throw me out of the house..
but one thing's she can't do, she can't stop me from loving Him.
nothing can destroy my faith as i walk the road of PO. even if i can't be in church every sunday to receive Your Word and worship You, this is my promise.
i will never backslide.
she can do whatever she wants, procastinating and criticising.. but i will fight on.
it's not how things start, but it's how i finish it.
no, my life in Christ will not end that fast. it will be forever. it will never end.
It's You whom i live for everyday.
posted by Rod @ 6:13 PM,
You mean everything to me,
You're all this world will never be.
Your name reigns in my heart,
You're all that i depend on.
Your Word has produced faith in me. May whatever that happens to me, good or bad, Your Word will always be in my heart. I will use Your Word as an weapon to fight every obstacle in my life cause i know You're faithful. My life has changed on that very first day which i received Your Word. For i no longer need to fear of being dirty as Your Word cleanses me.
Your Word has shone light on me.

september 11 conspiracy
Saturday, January 14, 2006
so here is another post of mine.
i was watching this video on google and it has intigued me. thinking skills as well as analysis.
this video is about the september 11 attack a few years back. really interesting.
it's an hour long so i shall give you the link and talk a lil about it, you will be interested.
so here it goes :
there were 4 plans that were said to be hijaked by the terrortist and then targetted at the 2 World Trade Centre Building, the Pentagon and the other to hit the ground. i couldn't watch the video in peace as it's an hour long and had to buffer every few minutes. so i shall write about what i had watched.
there actually found out from videos when before the plane hit the targets, a small little flash from the aeroplane could be seen. it was like seconds before it hit the target. and it all happened for all four planes. what could have happened in the plane to cause the flash?. btw, the flash seen and the source of it was outside the plane and at the back, near the part where the engine is. if there was a bomb in the plane and it went off, it could have been obvious as the plane would be splitted into 2 before hitting the tower. could the plane be fitted with a bomb at the engine part when it was kept in the hanger?. only allowed personels are allowed into the airport and the employees had to be scanned for matellic objects before the go to work everyday, mainly those people working in the hanger. could it be an inside job?.
and the other part which totally amazed me was the plane hitting the pentagon. the scene was that only the building was damaged. the producer of the video had made a test regarding the impact of the actual damage that the plane would have made at the speed it was going that day. and the results shown that if the plane were to hit the pentagon, things like wood and big pieces of tiles should have been flown to the big patch of grass around it. but none was there, instead there were only a few pieces of titanium that could been picked up by hand.
and at the site, there were no signs of any titanium in the debris. more than 20 tons of titanium.. GONE. titanum has a melting point of about 1688 degress celcius. kerosene in pure oxygen condition could only burn up to a 1000 degress celcius. so it's totally impossible for more than 20 tons of titanium to be vaporised by the heat.
and when the firemen were clearing up the scence, a couple of policemen not wearing uniform were seen carrying out a large metal container covered with a lue plastic sheet all around. what was in the large container?. if you were to watch the video, it's really very huge.
at the scence, the engine parts found did not match those of the Boeing-757, the actual plane which was said to have crashed into the pentagon. instead, it belonged to a millitary plane which one about 3 sets were still in operation at that point of time. other parts like the wheel hub, were also foound and it also didn't match those of the Boeing-757, which wheel hubs were bigger than the one being found. instead, it belonged to the same millitary plane which the engine part was found. what's happening here?.
where did all the titanium go?. 20 tons of it just disappeared like that?. where did all those parts come from?. it did not belong to the actual plane at all. where were there flashes of light coming out from all four aeroplanes before it hit the tower and their respective targets?.
i'm sure you would want to watch this video.. enjoy. i'm definitely going to use this as my CE prsentation.
but i'll post the link here only when my presentation has been over. haa. keeping all the suspense. =)

i guess i shouldn't be blogging in the first place. I SHOULD BE STUYDING INSTEAD.
haa. but i'm doing d&t research anyway. sch's kind of tiring. staying back in sch everyday, either because of tests and quizes or extra lessons. this is life. now even my weekends are booked and packed with stuff.
sow in the morning. tuition in the afternoon for saturday. now sunday morning i have chinese tuition, afternoon i'll be at church. instead of being in a physics tuition. haa. if my mum reads this she's gonna kill me. haa. but i didn't waste her money anyway. cause i didn't even sign up for the class. haa. ingenious me.
tmr i'm gonna kena from cca-cher-in-charge for smth that i didn't do. she herself lost the freaking laptop mouse during the cca recruitment day and now i'm gonna get it from her. she thinks that i stole it. come on larrh, the mouse is so freaking old larrh. now everyone is using either optical or laser mouse. but even those who use the mouse with the ball, the speed is also fast.
that mouse that she lost was so freaking slow. can bet that it's less than 400dpi. think it's only a 100dpi. i've a freaking mouse at least 4 times better than yours in speed and a million times beteer in function. i don't see the need for me to steal that freaking lousy mouse.
freaking tan pui ling.
i'm gonna tolerate another year and a half of nonsense, rubbish and crap from her.

heart awards & create 2005
Sunday, January 01, 2006
well, summary of all : it's an award giving ceremony and as well as Create, people coming out with their own items and presenting them to the whole church, may it be composing and singing their songs and making videos and dances.
the whole event started off at 8 plus, with a introduction by 3rd Day, our church very own percussion group. the performance was awesome. you will never have the chance to see that kind of performance outside.
then was followed by hip-hop dancing. the dances were great esp. zackery's liquid dancing. haa. then followed by rock' n roll dancing. seriously i didn't regret making my mum angry to come out for this. haa. a couple of videos were shown after that. had to say that they were totally original and fantastic. hmmm. do i have a chance to do one for the next Heart Awards & Create?. i hope i do. but it's gonna be tough. soon it came to the end of the first part. but not forgetting Praise and Worship. haa.
it takes a man of faith to accomplish what he plans to do, what do you think?.
15 mins to decide the fate of what's going to happen :
1. go and fight for it, resulting in mum's nagging and scolding and a stay-over in church.
2. please your parents by going home early.
so what was my ans?.
" heck. go in and enjoy myself. after the end of it then decide. "
and i seriously never regretted going in for the 2nd part. it was much more amazing than the first. inclusive of the count-down. haa. videos, Create items, more of Heart Awards. and also Praise and Worship.
" Everybody jump around
in the house of God,
hey, hey,
Jump around.
Everybody jump around
in the house,
Everybody "
and there got everybody jumping around in the House of God. haa. tears shed with emotions running through with " Glorious Redeemer " God sent his only son, Jesus, down to earth to die on the cross for us.
count-down to 2006. the future is gonna be amazing. we're going for 10,000. even if a guy like me had faith to stay throughout and it did happen, what do you think will happen if the whole church had faith of reaching 10,000?! IT'S GONNA HAPPEN OF COURSE!
the event ended at around 1 plus a.m and some of the congregation went home. that was the time where you would see flashes of light coming out of cameras all over the place. i had mine too, with the group and also the zone.
there's C5 ( not all ) with Pastor How
as you can see from the pic there's the black wall with the 3 words : fath ; hope ; love.
it was made by the decoration team and the purpose of it was for us to sign our names on it. so let's say 10 years down the road we could see what we wrote. by then i would be 24?.
and this was what i wrote : " Roderick ; I'm here for life "
i have already dedicated my whole life to this church and i will never ever leave.
we went out to eat after that, the Kopitiam near church. had to walk a distance. it was around 3 a.m then. but you could see the whole place crowded with people. and there i was, 3.30 a.m and i had chicken rice. didn't know that was my dinner of 31 dec 2005, or breakfast of 1 jan 2006.
after eating went back to church supposingly for games. but i didn't play though. i slept just right in front of the castle. and there the game was played, just right in front of where i was sleeping. haa. slept for abt an hr plus. although i was sleeping on the floor and it was hard and the room was cold, i would be glad to sleep in the House of God, living every second of my life in there.
waking up, it was around 6 plus and i lazed around as i could no longer fall asleep and everyone packed up and left the church before 7 as church would be closed by then.
negotiated for a while and in the end i went beack with 3 other girls in a cab who stayed near me. i didn't really know them but they knew me. yeah. so reached home about 8. mum was sleeping soundly and i opened my house door quietly as not to wake them up, or else i won't have a good sleep.
slept from 8 plus a.m till 7 plus p.m haa. 11 hours?. after i woke up, the interesting thing was this : my mum only nagged! i expected her to make a very big fuss abt it and will throw my things around and so on. i i prayed the day before. for my mum's heart to soften and that nth will happen to me after i were to come back from the whole event. God didn't gave me a direct " yes " answer. He had a better plan for me. =)
so that should be all for Heart Awards & Create. quite a brief overall of what happened. if i were to say everything in detail, my fingers would ache in no time. haa.
Happy New Year to everyone out there! THE FUTURE'S GONNA BE AMAZING!
haa. and i will come out with my new year resolutions soon. =)
