Orals


Somehow time has passed fast and the EOYs have begun kicking off with Orals today!!!!
For me, i was kinda worried about the CHinese one especially when the teacher asked me about the conversation question! It was MR Kwa and he explained the meaning of the question and i knew that was the gate opened to lose marks cause he explained the question to me! Awwwww.....i hope that not much was deducted and yeah for ENglish, i had Mrs Foo and i guessed i did well for it so THANK GOD!!!!
AMAZING!

Well, back at home studying Physics and SS later and yeah....study is the number one key factor now so i pray that i would do well for this EOY and get good marks!

Also we went for Bowling today with NAthaniel, Eduardo and Lennard! I guessed my main competitior was Mat cause he is really a good bowler i must say and i respect him for that! played 2 games my first one scoring 107 and the 2nd one scoring a lousier score of 87 so i guess it really DE-stressed me from mugging and its back to mugging now so see ya

GOD BLESS!!!!

Hillsong United - The Stand Lyrics


You stood before creation
Forever within Your hand
You spoke all life into motion
My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

So I’ll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
OVERCOMING FEARS



AS exams draw close, do not give up or be in stress but keep on going and pursue on, with the passion and believing in your self that you would make it through and come out among the heads and the tops!


2 Timothy 2:5-7 (New King James Version)

And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.


Job 6:12-14 (New King James Version)
New King James Version (NKJV)

12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?

13 Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?

14 “To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.




Well, i hope that we would all make it through the exams and not fail any tests so EVERYONE!!! TRUST GOD!!!!


Today was kind of the last 2nd day of school officially for the end of year before the exams so we were all on the path to exams with the last lessons for each subjects and the teachers were rushing through going through revisions and many more! We made a book for Chemistry terms for our revision! ADN my friend Thapan, which i feel is gettin wrose each day, was kind of funny today cause during CHinese he was laughing and we were as if interviewing about his life and he and hiw funny tone made us laugh so much that the teacher scolded us! Also i waxed Thapana's hair till all his hair could not stand up at all! He look weird in it but it was amazing!!!
After school, went with Pritish and NAt for lunch when the gang consisting of Squirrel, JessieJAmes and Kylie came along and joined us where they made a whole lot of noises and it was noisy but FUN!

Went back to school to watch the DNT students make their artifacts and stuff by spray painting their stuff and i found it cool that i took videos of them when Dexter was mad at me taking videos that he chase me all over the school but he could not out run me and i went to see MR Lee and he was one of the best teachers i have ever seen although he did not teach me really much but i could see the passion in him to teach and yeah, he is really GOOD! HE showed off hie FREE phone in which he won in some lucky draw and he was so happy about it!

After that, it was almost about 6 when i went to sit with JOel and tlak to him about many things till his parents came and i left for home! And here i am, doing revision and getting myself in the right accent and tone pronoucning each word clearly for my ORALS tomorow! HOpe i would not have any clogs up or any distractions to prevent me from speaking well, cause i belive i can do it! WEll, its back to studying Chemistry and Physics so see ya people and ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS UPCOMING!!!!!!!



GOD BLESS!

RAIN


Hey people today was the most bad-dest day. Me, John, Daniel and Joel were waiting for cab for almost to half an hour and i just found out that singapore has got not enough cabs on the road!
WE were like in the middle of the rain period and standing along the roadside till we had to book the cab so we could go home and other places.

In the end the CAB came and we took it thanks to my booking of one and we left the school all wet!

Apart from that, the day was kinda okay but exams are coming so that means not much of blogging and making of videos and by the way EPISODE 2 OF THE SOHshow will be up after exams. Sorry for the inconvenience!

DNA OF AN ENCOURAGER

Just returned from cell today and it is currently 1am in Singapore, 1am in Malaysia and some other places!
Well, today cell was great! The word was on THE DNA OF AN ENCOURAGER! Was about Barnabas which means SON OF AN ENCOURAGER!
He had 3 main genetic codes!

1. An encourager always generous
2. An encourager is open to changes
3. An encourager sees the potential in others that other people doesn't see

Are you going to be an encourager?!?

Well, today was spent totally on studying and nothing else either than getting distracted by people MSNing me with my laptop on the table beside me and my 2 phones too! It was tempting but after all the laptop was most distracting and i fell into it! After studying went for cell and came back late and guess i'm gonna play abit of guitar and go to sleep since my parents aren't home for they have gone somewhere out!
Tomoro is sunday and i'm looking forward to going church to get inspired by the word of god and be transformed! Well, the BIBLE is my weapon and no evil shall harm me!
By the way this goes to all the people out there who are not earnestly going to church or backsliding and i'm referring to you if your know who you are! PLease slide back to GOD because he will provide for your needs and everything you ask will be given! SLide back to GOD! and dun stay put in your plant pot and not letting your seeds grow!


See ya
God Bless

DAY PASSES

Today was a fun day although TIRING!!!!
Ended school with E.Maths remedial and next door in Ms Yeo class's was a bunch of youth worshiping and praising GOD through songs. Wished i was there! IT was filled with eh passion for the lost and i think they ended off the session with group discussions between each other! PRaying for one another for the EOYs as it draws nearer!

After remedial, it was soccer time, played with different levels and in the end i scored 2 out of 10 shots on target! How hard does it takes to score! Maybe its because of my shoes as what Pritish says and yeah maybe it is! After soccer, i went to play captain's ball with the rest like Alastair, Glen, Xue Ning, Tomio and many more and i was playing as a defender and i managed to save or you can call it BLOCk majority but not all of the balls but it was fun and after playing for almost an hour, i was drained out till i had to cancel my tuition and shift it to another day so i went home and lied on my bed after bathing of course and used my laptop and play games!

WEll, i have something to say to your is that WATCH OUT OF THAPANA!!!! HE IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS THIS FEW DAYS!
He is acting strangely and also i feel something has got into him and he is going nuts because he would go around smiling at them like he was going to seduce them especially to guys! I MEAN WHAT IS THIS MAN!WEll, today it was my turn, he came to me saying...

Thapana "BERTRAM....why you lying down on the chair! I very curious you know!"

Bertram "WHAT LA! THAPANA! GO AWAY! I MAKE SURE YOUR GF KENA PROBLEM MAN!"

(Obviously he did not have one but we all think he has one because we created one for him and yeah he kinda flowed with the joke and he kept on smiling!)

Thapana " BERTRAM!!!! BERTRAM!!! I WILL EAT YOU!"

Bertram " I think you have gone mad! After school soccer okie?"

Thapana "NO! i wanna find you and you know....."

Bertram "I whack you then you know!"

So i gave him one tight slap of you can call it a whack on his tummy and he kept quiet after that and after a while, he went to SHAWN YEE another funny guy of my class, and Shawn was shocked to see it!


Well, i guess next week Thapana will either be worse or the better because i think its his problem of handling stuff! i mean he ain't like this! HE"S WEIRD!!! BEWARE!!!

OHHHH!!! I think i have got a sense of telling the future! I told JUN HAO that he was going to get scolded with Ben Tan, Marcus Ngeow and him today during geog! i told them i had a feeling that it was going to happen! GUESS WHAT! Indeed, it happened! Those in WCH geog's class should know what had happen! WEll, i guess Jun hao was angry with me but he enjoyed his time in geog showing his freak up attitude to the teacher and it was real funny! I kinda like that attitude whenever he was angry! Well, we must control out temper and not flare it out so easliy! So thats that for this week....

Well, thats all for now and i am going back to studying!

One of my current favourite songs composed by CHC

GOD OF MY FOREVER

GOD OF MY YOUTH I REMEMBER
YOUR CALL ON MY LIFE TOOK ME O'ER
YOUR LOVE HAS SEEN ME THROUGH ALL MY DAYS
I STAND HERE BY YOUR GRACE

ON THIS ALTAR I'VE WRITTEN MY LIFE
TELLS OF THE STORY I HAVE WITH YOU MY LORD
I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW

GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I'M WITH YOU
MY LIFE IS SAVED WITH A PRICE
YOUR SACRIFICE REDEEMED MY SOUL
GOD OF MY FOREVER
AND FOREVER I WILL SING
MY GREATEST HONOR WILL ALWAYS BE
TO SERVE MY LORD AND KING

GOD OF MY LIFE I'VE SURRENDERED
MY HEART FINDS ITS REST IN YOUR WORD
PRAISES WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SHOW
HOW MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS GROWN

NOTHING MATTERS WHEN YOU'RE HERE WITH ME
IN THE END JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY “WELL DONE”
BOWING BEFORE YOUR THRONE


FOREVER AND EVER
JESUS YOU ALONE IN GLORY REIGN
FOREVER AND EVER
WITH YOU I WALK THIS NARROW WAY
CROSSROADS!!!!


TAKE ALL OF ME


You broke the night like the sun
And healed my heart with Your great love
Any trouble I couldn't bear
You lifted me upon Your shoulders

Love that's stronger
Love that covers sin
And takes the weight of the world

I love You
All of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ take my life
Take all of me

You stand on mountain tops with me
With You i walk through the valleys
You gave Your only Son for me
Your grace is all I rely on

I love You so, and I give up my heart to say
I need You so, my everything

-------------------------------------------

This is what i have been going through this week. JESUS TAKE A HOLD OF ME! I LOVE YOU SO! LIFT ME UP! LOVE THAT STRONGER THAT COVERS SIN AND TAKES THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD!

I pray for my friends out there that they will seek you! Take their lives and take hold of us as we serve for you! WE STAND ON MOUNTAINS TOP, GIVEN US THE LIGHT.

--------------------------------------------


Well, this is a great week and i have to say that i have learnt alot from school and had loads of fun playing sports with my classmates! Preparing for EOYs now so guess this is all for now!

GOD LOVES YOU AND I LOVE YOU TOO!

Days of Days

Today was quite pathetic. Since Monday, i would be at least ONCE be rammed by someone in a game of soccer and indeed it came to pass. MOnday, some sec 1 kid kicked the ball straight into my face. Tuesday, my classmate kicked it at my face. Wednesday, some idiot kicked my face twice with the ball. Thursday I really appreciate the love of Jun Hao asked him to pass it to me, he go ram the ball into my face. Now i must change my glasses which is has such a nice design. Guess i will get the same design then. Today, Alson kick my shin and also i got kicked into the face thanks to Jun Hao again.

Well, i have been playing alot of soccer the last few days....kinda got hooked into it. Thanks to my very own Pritish who has encouraged and influenced me in many ways to play. Well, what else happened?

I was stuck in an air con room in school ITR4 with 126 degrees temperature with JUn Hao again!!!!!! Why must it always be him?!?!?!? After coming out, i was freezing and although the weather was warm outside i was still cold for almost 1 hour. It was as cold as Antartica!!!! Well this is the day.


Back to studying for EOYs once again and the time spent is really fruitful.
NOt much time for other stuff so also spending time with GOD is also another priority in my life and each day i seek for more and every prayer is being answered each day. AMAZING GOD WE SERVE !!!! PRAY< SEEK< ASK..... everthing!


This is all for now!
MAN WITHOUT FEAR!

Freedom to live

This week started well with all the tests immediately with SS, lit and that chinese compre test today and it turn out quite okie. SS was not enough time....WCH was super unfair, gave us 45 minutes to complete 3 questions all worth almost 25 marks or so. unbelivable. HOW MUCH TO WRITE WITHIN 45 minutes.....

Lit was amazing unable to be done. Only managed to complete like 5 out of 13 characters of Midsummer Nights Dream play.

Apart from that, the week was fine playing soccer and captain ball after school and also studying for the upcoming exams in 3 weeks time. Just look at how MS LYANN plans the timetable. Each lesson she would say the announcements and say how many more days to exams...pretty good but this is my first time i see a teacher spend her time to do such a thing which to me i feel its good. Well, it helps us to be focused and setting our mindset towards the exams!

Forever to GOD we praise.....everything we give thanks and sing praise to him!
FOR HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!

Planning to sell some of my guitar effects pedals! Anyone can contact me or ask me through MSN and we would discuss the agreement! If i am unable to be contacted than its tooooo bad for you people cause of 3 reasons:

1. I don't like you and i won't asnwer your call
2. Its just that my phone is not with me
3. I don't want to be disturb


so if i don't respond its either one of this few so guess which choice is it if thats you!

Alright its back to studying and i kinda of like it enjoying studying....all the facts running through your mind and yeah. =)

Malaysia

Hey...just returned from a short trip to Malacca the past 2 days and thats why some of your have been calling me and i pick up and i talked for a while and i put it down.Sorry guys if i had anything rude done unto you or of any sort along that line!
Well, this trip was quite an adventure and i am really tanned thanks to the beautiful sun rays it has that shines on the Earth! Well, had been playing golf and eating non-stop for the 2 days. I mean i really ate alot but exercise is next and i really need to exercise once again if not, you know what will happen...

Well, sleep was crucial for me because my bed was kinda makeshift. IT WAS MY SLEEPING BAG because there were no more extra beds for us so i kinda used the sofa in the hotel room and place my sleeping bag over it and there you have it A BED!! It reminded me of OBBD, where we slept on wooden plywood boards and just place the sleeping bag on it and SLEEPPPPPPPP!!!

Truely, this trip was cool and i enjoyed myself with my family and i am really tired now so guess this is all for now. Going church tomoro, looking forward to it so yeah...

FYI...those people who called me to play soccer and captain's ball, i'm sorry i did not reply your msges and called you back and i will play with your soon! haha...

THE DAYS OF DAYS

Today is the 3rd day of holidays and it getting borings but i'm excited because i'm going away tomorow to Malaysia, the land of the hometowns.(whateva you call it)

Today was a tiring day especially after playing captains ball from 9AM to about 1230PM!!! It was hot, tiring and warm. Well, we ended Chemistry early and had to wait for the history students for almost 2 hours so we played among ourselves till the whole gang came including Caleb, Alastair, Joel, Glenn and the rest of 3B. THe game was awesome but tiring and hot but i guess the effort is to get the pain and play... XD
The teams were kinda balanced with all different strong players in both teams and the game was FUN!

After playing, went to Holland with Tomio, Alson, Thapana, Xue Ning, Jaime, Liyan and Shaun at NYDC and Shaun really counted the money collected well, guess that doesn't make him an 'AI' kid anymore...BUT HE STILL IS ONE!!! asking alot of stupid questions, making everyone irritated but it sometimes funny...especially during A MATHS and LITERATURE...
Ate the food till i was AS FULL AS DUNNO WHAT and left for home as tired as anything. SO here i am lying on my bed, admiring my MACBOOK PRO, writing this thingy on the blog and chatting to people online.

I can't wait till the ARENA...but preparation is getting tougher especially needed to learn how to form a CRUX and an AXIOM in a debate. Only debators will understnad the function and purpose of this terms.
Well, its back to studying before i set off on an adventure tomorow.


Till then,

HOLIDAYS


Hey everyone, holidays has started and the work load has increased much and we are all work out as students, running back to school for extra lessons, going back home for family reunions, tution to go for and our own leisure time for our own hobbies has been reduced again. Isn't that the opposite of holidays?

CCA is another thing that drains me off to my limits...the training although interesting is very long and well, i can say that the time is token off.... well wad can we define HOLIDAYS?!?! i leave it to your to decide.
Sorry about the teachers day video, it got kinda rejected cause the length was too long but anyway watching it live was better than watching it through a blurish video where the sound is so dull and choky.

I received a new MACBOOK PRO and i like it so much that i have been hooked to it 24 hours each day ever since i got it. How amazing technology can be.

Well looking forward going to school is kinda half minded for me because i have no mood to go but to play captain's ball this coming monday and wednesday at school after lessons. Well, its the mindset that we have.

Leaving off with a song....

HEAR OUR PRAISES

may our homes be filled with dancing
may our streets be filled with joy.
may injustice bow to Jesus
as the people turn to pray.

from the mountains to the valleys
hear our praises rise to You,
from the heavens to the nations
hear our singing fill the air.

may Your light shine in the darkness
as we walk before the cross
may Your glory fill the whole earth
as the water o'er seas.

from the mountains to the valleys
hear our praises rise to You,
from the heavens to the nations
hear our singing fill the air.

hallelujah.hallelujah
hallelujah,hallelujah...
hallelujah,hallelujah
hallelujah,hallelujah.......(x3)

from the mountains to the valleys
hear our praises rise to You,
from the heavens to the nations
hear our singing fill the air.

Reflections of WEEK 9 of TERM 3

Hey Everyone....
this week has been a long week especially with the rehearsals for teachers day and the actual event of teachers day.I also received my report book and i managed to attained an L1R5 of 21!!!
It was always very high so i guess with more harder and progress, it will get lower and i would be able to go to my aimed-targeted College after graduating....

Well, this week also i received a great word during cell today at LIVE YOUR DREAM! Well, it was basically about how we should live our lives and fulfill our dreams and never give up in them...people out there, if you haves something you wish, go all out for it for GOD will provide you the blessings and the strength to get it and fulfill your own goals in life....it brings such an honor and satisfaction in our live and we GIVE THANKS TO GOD!!!!!
Indeed, he has blessed me with abundance flowing this week, financial blessings, healings, revival and many more in which i give thanks for.

Firstly, i got blessed with almost close to $250 this week from my relatives and a brand new labtop.

Secondly, i recovered from a bad cough and a bad soar throat today after the last two days of sickness...praying really does helps! AMEN!!!!

Thirdly, i brought 3 friends to Christ and it has totally changed their lives with God's love in them...how powerful and great is our GOD!!!!



Well, that brings me to conclude that this week was spiritually empowered and deepened in my spirit and also, i hoped that GOD'S love will come into all of your lives and touch you!
GOD BLESS!!!
