Weary, but happy.

Haha, back from the first day of the moving to the new place at Singpost. Demanding on physical strength, but it's a great experience cause we will do it another 2 more times before we permanently move in. I hope I will not be going through Prelims and Os the next time when we move.
I so wanna stay overnight at the new place. Although the air-con will not be on till Friday, it's still fun when you have church people around you and doing silly stuff like playing Bang, a Sound Ministry game which is now widely spread to the Ops. side and even CGs.
It's just a great thing to know that the people you're hanging out with now, you'll be seeing them for eternity. Looks like I have to get to know more people and know them better. Haha. It's gonna be a long time.
Just a little preview of what we did today:
This was taken before Nightfall. Everything ended around 8:30 and yeah, there's still another round tomorrow. Guess it's safe to upload this picture since now everyone knows the new location of the church and how the inside looks like. Yeah, it's so gonna be great!
I won't tell you what are the facilities available. What Pastor mentioned was just the only few. Haha.
Main quote of the day:
Brother Sky: Okay, here's tonight's action plan ah. It concerns life and death.
Us: What is it?
Brother Sky: Makan.
Us: Aiyah, expected from Brother Sky lah. We thought what.

Needs
Friday, May 25, 2007
I don't need a teacher who has never taught me before to comment on my studies,
neither do I need teachers who give nonconstructive comments.
I don't need friends who compare results just to see if they got higher and better,
neither do I need parents who do not believe in me.
God is all I need.

Haha, I was just taking photographs in church yesterday cause I had to do up a Ministry wallpaper and this led me to taking photos of the sound console in church.
Just to share with you guys:
This is what I have been talking about being a Sound man. Haha, hope all the faders and the knobs don't scare you away. You can get the high-resolution pictures from my Photoblog. Enjoy!
This is all that I have for you today. Haha.

A really big thanks to all out there who are concerned for me and yeah, I'm feeling quite okay already, after this morning.
I had sadistic and crazy thoughts this morning but none anymore during school time until now, so I can be officially deemed as being stable and I will not blow off like I used to; years back.
Blogger has a new feature of draft autosaving, a feature offered by Gmail a long time ago, guess they decided to add that in after realising that part of their members have turned to other websites like Xanga and Livejournal, so hoping that with this new feature, it will draw them back.
Let's just see how effective their action will be.
Sometimes it's just funny how people will go to the extend of cheering you up, and I thank God for the people around me and after yesterday, I have learned to treasure them even more. I could not have got through everything without them; I would have turned depressed and gone berserk.
Haha, I've just realised yesterday how cute one of the Powerpuffs can be. Haha, the above picture is drawn by Janice and she purposely spelled my name wrongly. Maybe I should name my son that in the future.
Haha, Rodgerick. Then I would be able to go out with my son and tell everyone to address us Rods or Roddys. That would be cool. Haha.
I've sticked that post-it on my organiser and it's always the small little things which make a great impact. Now you know that I'm serious and the statements I have made before have been proven to be true.
Faithful to the small things always!
Guess most of you know that now I'm phoneless, something which seems rare because newspapers and forums always talk and revolve around this topic: Are phones an indispensable object?
No phones means no pictures to look at, no messages to browse through, no information sent to update you.. Basically, nobody to talk to.
This is my second day living without it, and I'm doing fine. No phone calls from parents asking me what time am I going to be back home, where am I now, why am I not at home studying and so on. It's like as though I have gained a new level of freedom.
When you get home and they get angry, you know what to say: No phone what! How to call you?
However, these things have been slowing my progress down though. I missed phone conferences and now highlighted as being uncontactable. Sigh. All things come with a price.

I'm just going to update a little for the moment.
I know it's 3:22 AM in the morning now and why I'm awake till so late/early cause I'm still thinking about a video she should me. Haha. I wonder if she reads my blog for now, but the video she showed me kept me wide awake. Haha. Touching video which sets me thinking.
This post might be updated if I were to go for the 2E reunion outing, guess only the dinner part of it cause I'm all booked in the morning and afternoon. Guess a lot of people has already got the movie Spiderman 3. I just love the part where Peter Parker started dancing in the club. Those moves were wicked and awesome. Haha.
I experienced, first-hand where the Worship Leader of City Harvest Church, had his daughter hugging him after he came down from the stage for sound check. There's something different in God's family. God's love is in it, God's grace is in it, God's mercy is in it.
The cloak of love.
Here's a follow-up of th Apple Pie picture, Mong wanted to break the record but didn't get the chance to go to Macs, so we did something different.
We owned Mentos. It's ours to take! Haha.
Haha. Today, somebody asked me something which I don't really know how to answer, or I might already know the answer and just that I don't know how to express it you know. Above all that, my focus and emphasis of my life is still God. Haha.
Check this out. Haha. Random? Yes I know.

Restoring the things of the world.
I learned a new term today: " Tall-poppy syndrome".
Haha. Want to know what is it all about?
It's a term used to describe people who are always negative and thinks that things are impossible. They work in the environment that lacks faith and hence they always criticise people when they feel that a certain matter cannot be done.
I think most of you guys have not come across that until now, that you have read this sentence.
When you have the heart and the hunger, you can draw out a lot from a Man of wisdom. I did it tonight.
Pastor Kong's preaching is at a higher level amongst the preachings that I have come across just one simple sermon alone you can learn lots of things and your knowledge becomes wider and your capacity just expands.
It's more than just information, it's the Revelation.
I'm probably too exhausted and tired to play any games now, now that the examinations are already over. It has already been over a few days ago to some of the people out there, it's like when the Sciences papers had been done with, they didn't bother to study anymore.
One interesting thing about my family is that my mum asked me to return home early today, to study.
TO STUDY.
TO STUDY.
TO STUDY.
Come on, stare at these 3 lines carefully and closely. My mum asked me to return home early after my paper for the day and to stay at home to study. Sometimes you guys can't blame me for having a rebellious nature though. Just look at that, how can a soft-heartened child be raised in this kind of condition?
The preparation for the seminar was early as 6 hours before the opening of the seminar and while preparing in the Overflow room, Pastor's family came into the room and sit down, enjoying some quiet time.
It's amazing to see how Pastors manage their time; while busy preparing for the seminar, they were able to spend time with Rina; Not just any kind of time, not leftover or excess time, but quality time.
I'm really blessed to have great Pastors, leaders and mentors.

Haha. Look at the title of this post. I still can remember that that was my group's name during the P5's project work. Haha. I can't remember what I was doing on. My memory isn't that good after-all.
Mid-years are going to end in a few days time and I'm going to have the time of my life on Thursday and Friday. Pastor Kong's seminar!
We're a crazy bunch of people. Accept that fact.
Everyone deserves a good break after an "awesome" session of demoralisation by the school. The smile that Mrs Chee had on her face, all those dumb Maths questions which don't make sense when you try to work them out.
People have been saying that the Mid-Years are meant for a purpose; to let us all fail and do badly so that we are pushed to work harder for Prelims. What a great way to psycho us into that. Wow.
Sometimes if you find that your Internet speed is too slow, you might want to make a consideration to change the LAN wire. I've just changed mine today and speed is relatively faster. Comparing two different PCs with different wires, the gap was as wide as 4 Mbps. Yeah, just a suggestion if you find that your speed is too slow.
It's hard at work.
However, one thing you should take note is that the speed will not always increase all the time. Servers which will take a long time to respond or generally your PC is infected with spyware and adware; all these are factors which will affect the Internet speed also. You just got to make a good judgement.
I will enjoy my day tomorrow. I'm gonna sleep till the sunlight shines on my behind. Haha.

Turning Point

Talk about great destinies in God. Hey hey, everyone in church is growing at a great speed now with Building Fund coming up, this will be a great year to remember how the levels that each and every one of us rose up to.
I was drawn to the castle today after a long absence from it, missing 3 Worship Team practices. When God gives you a destiny, you press on and hang on to it, it will come to pass.
Talk about joining Sound Ministry about a year and 7 months back, I hung on to my dream of becoming a sound man and I am one now.
A sound artist for God!
Hebrews 12:1-2
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
There's a reason why the above is the Verse of this year. There's are reason why God revealed these verses to Pastors and made it the Verse of this year.
You've got to lay those weights down, those weights which are holding you back from going all out for God.
Until then, it's difficult for you to fly and grow in Him.
Until then.

Haha. How did everyone fare for the Social Studies paper today? Great? Know anything about the retirement age being increased in Singapore? I don't think anyone knows because we teenagers don't really have the time to take note about local news like this.
Visit Cloudywind's blog and she'll tell you more about the retirees working conditions. You will be surprised about how the Government has plans for the retirees.
I've got nothing much to update, just that the A Maths Paper 1 was a killer and I heard people saying that they lost like 30+ marks. So yeah, so is the paper tough for what? What do you think?
