whats up.

Here's a simple glimpse of what i've been doing the past week.





they say
holidays either make you or break you.
its breaking me.
i need to get my life back.

my computer ain't my god.
and its sucking the life outta me.

i gotta fast.
and depend on You.

when one stays comfortably for a long time
self sufficiency sets in
the "ME" gets bigger while "GOD" gets smaller..
"I'm doing well.." you tell yourself
"all's going well..." you say to yourself
well... is it just because you're too comfortable where you are and not doing anything?
thats true for me.

again and again i fall into the same hole of self sufficiency..
and i thank God for it.
for letting me know.. Hey! you need me.
i do

i do.

i need to make a timetable so as not to waste time while i wait for my NS..
go buck up my drawings...3D...flash...photography...illustrator...2D hand draw..
thats enough for every week if i were to do one each day save sat for service.

yeah! i gotta do it.



haven't blogged cuz i've been lazy and yes 100 marks for livi for pointing that out
and when you've been doing almost the same thing for 3 or more days..
you start to forget whatever happens cuz it feels that everyday is the same
monotonous life... bleagh
i want out of it.

lets see what i can recall.. hmm.

bao called me out for swimming on tues which was his bday 20th sept
went swimming @ roy's place again hahaa
was fun~ :D
tried to sit at the bottom of the pool but alas we couldn't..
haha dumb thing to do but we did lol..

thurs we celebrated bao's bday @ NErc!
steamboat organised by hendra~
it was a funny night as hendra chaired
but thanks for putting the effort and all~!
enjoyed ourselves
oo i learnt a new fact abt livi too..
she never mopped the floor before in her entire life o_O
which is (to me) RARE for a person her age (i'm not saying she's old)

so i decided to do it.. -_-

came home and packed up and moved out my stuff..
was amazed to find alot of old stuff...
encouragement cards..
journals... wow

what surprised me was i found a journal of mine i never even recalled writing till i found it.. and reading it really encouraged me.
i did something in my journal which i told myself to do in army
everyday write down 3 things to thank God for.
(why army? haha go figure :p)
want to have a thankful heart and not a heart of complain.
so in my journal i wrote down 3 things to thank God for and 2 person to appreciate everday..
wow..
i did it.
it helps you be more sensitive as you go about your day seeing what to thank God for :)


fri was cleaning house day as the people came and fix the windows
in the evening i recieved a call from tay who wanted to so called "celebrate" my bday by passing me the bday present.

previously my best buddy jovin asked me what i wanted for my bday and i said nothing but he insisted that its an impt bday so must get something at least..
i couldn't think of anything.. so i just said i wanted an ipod :P

so today when they told me, kev, jo & tay wanted to pass me my present..
i was excited :D
i was thinking to myself.. " Hello Ipod life!"
luxury item
i can be "cool"
can show off
waha
have to download itunes in preparation
tay told me over the phone that he bought me an ipod nano (!!!!)
so i went down to meet them @ PS
he passed me a nano all right

but not the one i expected
haha
it was a practical joke
they bought me a mini guitar from yamaha which we named it
yamaha-nano
the guitar was seriously small!!!!!!!!!
(can ask my unit ppl)
was super disappointed but then
God made me remember about treating disappointment..
what would ya do when you're disappointed?
nurse it and let it grow and be all gloomy and sad?
nothings gonna happen that way.. you'll just end up worse than before.
or
take it positively and destroy the disappointment

i chose the latter by the grace of God.
at least they cared :D
and they knew i liked guitars.
i like the yamaha-nano
really :)

don't nurse dissapointments.



sat svc we had new volunteers~!!!
welcome welcome!!
tay pei (is that how you spell ur name..? >_<)
jeremy
aloysious
and more as i meet you guys this week!!
:D
hui li has been doing a good job @ leading and assigning roles for them fast :)

sun cg was @ kovent
brought my "nano" with me and amused people hahaha
there was this one particular guy who was carrying his guitar in the mrt and he passed us by, he saw roy holding my guitar and he kept looking back as if he never saw a guitar that size before
he asked us if we were busking
haha
reagan had a fun time with the guitar
he was playing a song with this old man at the void deck near the basketball court the rest were playing and it was funnyy!
after cg veron got really cheeky -_-
went to far east to makan esteler 77, reagan's now fave place to eat
he now shares similar interest with me in finding an indonesian wife
hahahaha!!
rushed off to suntec for the ravinca pre-release
had a fun time there before livi called to ask if i wanna join them for dota haha
but by the time i left they were already on the way home :and home was where i went too.

had monday blues
had a terrible headache the entire day :(

tues i went out with joel & yao to go lan gaming wahahahaha!
we got trashed by this team of pros lol
then we tried other maps instead haha
enfo & hero siege!! :D

today
didn't start off good
it was something that sparked since last week
o well.
repented

went with tay to PS to buy joshua's present
we bought a swatch :)
i suggested in buying a clock and he scolded me O_o

turns out that there is this belief that if u buy a person a clock it means you're counting down to his death...

gosh i never knew that..
i would buy a clock for ppl serious.

same goes if you buy a shoe for someone it means you're telling that person to get lost...

wahhh.... he said that most chinese families belive in that...
do yours?
i certainly don't (you can tell since this is the first time i've heard of it)

after that we went to watch four brothers.
met roy, seng, dewen, jun yao and ethan there too!
saw veron as well (gosh everyone is here)

four bothers is N I C E !$#@*(&$!
you MUST watch it!! especially if you have a brother!!
i certainly identify with the brothers cuz thats how my bro would react in the show too...
it was very gripping..
pulls you into the characters VERY WELL!!!
i love the show...
sad..funny... satisfying..
i found myself praying for the characters in the movie..! haha
though lots of profanities (NC16)
its NICEE!!!
i actually cried deep inside when i saw some scenes..
(no i didn't cry physically)
actually cried twice.... you can feel the sadness..
definitely a must watch with your brother :D
or even if you have a brother pls do!
its emotionally gripping.
one moment i'm laughing and another i'm angry and another i'm anxious.
the last few scenes are action packed yet it grips you as the tension rises sky high
goooood show.
must get the dvd :D

shows that i wanna own the dvd:
the interpretator
finding neverland
four brothers

they say holidays either make you or break you
i'm gonna make it make me.
