Interclass/Arena

Today was a HAPPY day for me from the start of the day to now at night...
Started of the day at school with Interclass games...was spoilt by the rain so Soccer was at the foyer, caps ball and frisbee in the hall! U have to say that it wasnt properly organized cause it was too small to play especially for the soccer players. However things took change for soccer, the rain stopped and the moved on to the field! PRitish played well with Thapana and Eduardo...
For captains ball, i managed to play for 1 match as defender, blocked all the inerscoring balls and in the end drawed with 3I, could have won because our players were not playing well i guess, last minute subs werent that helpful because of lack of time. However, we managed to play with 3D and 3E but from that onwards, i wanst able to play because SHAUN ELIJAH TAN was rushing me to go with him to macs at kap for brunch before our ARENA auditions at SIM.

So we changed to our blazer suits and left off to macs to eat then went to SIM to meet MS Hia and the rest. They were eating there too so we waited for them! Sheng Wei went to the wrong SIM man, and he was at Hwa Chong nearby SIM so we waited for him. When he arrived we went to register and take those photos you had to do and the admin stuff before we went into the waiting room.
it was our turn , so me, nathaniel and sheng wei entered and we met 3 judges and MARK GABRIEL was one of them and they gave us good remarks because we used no cards to speak and it was a GREAT PERFORMANCE! not bad for the start eh peeps...
I spoke as the first speaker for the motion YOUTHS BELOW 16 ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCESS SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES and we were the OPPOSITION, speaking against the judges. WE were offered POIs but we felt they were easy to handle and it was simple. However, the camera was scary and the mic attached to us because they were recording us down plus we had to give an interview and it was really scary but amazing on the other hand!
RIght now, my throat is pain and i'm tired, preparing for the next competition on SAT for METHODIST CUP, and yeah hope we can win it!







Thats all for now!

Results 2

Today was quite of a challenge cause of receiving the MATHS results! i managed to attain E.Maths 64% (quite bad) and A.Maths 50% (right on the dot)
Anyway whatever it is, i give thanks because GOD helped me! i TRUSTED him and indeed he did the miracle....

Apart from that, it was debate debate debate, ARENA ARENA ARENA, Talk talk talk, Walk Walk Walk, Think Think Think, etc etc etc...
Managed to get my 2 minute speech on the dot and guess our team is ready and we are just 2 days away from Auditions...we really do want to get it! especially Ching Sheng, he and his chasings to do! (you get the point soon enough)

After debate, played caps ball and it was getting late so i cabbed home with Gabriel, Zi Jie and David! nice people to hang out with! Anyway the money came from me from KXN...feel really bad now cause i owe her an interest too so i guess its pay back time!


Apart from that, nothing much from the day! tomorow is long day too! perhaps at the cage.... or maybe on monday than!

2 more days to go people... lets do it well! This goes to DEBATE and 3B interclass-teams!

God Bless

But i give thanks to GOD for seeign me through today and the exams because whenever i faced problems, GOD guided me throughout the paper and i know i got it corrrect and yes i got it correct!

Today we received Physics, Chemistry, English, Literature and Music! Of all the results i think my music and Combines Sciences dould do better! Tomorow would be the maths so i'm looking forward to them! MATHS!!!

::ARENA::

Hey people...you guys are busy enjoying yourselves while we people are busy preparing for ARENA which means these few things...

1.Misses Interclass games (by a few games)
2. Unable to go out with friends
3. Stuck on the computer for 25 hours each day!
4. Wasting my voice away
5. Preparing my speech for 2 minutes long
6. Researching over the encyclopaedias, websites, dictionaries and many more...

This are the effects..oh by the way if you don't know...the motion for the auditions of the Arena first rounds is YOUTH BELOW 16 SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ACCESS SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES!

Anyone who can help please let me know cause you see its tough to prepare for a 2 minutes speech especially when theres alot of things to say! 2 minutes is too short for us to speak!

Well, this is what ARENA is about!
ps Remember to support us this coming Sat for our auditions! Just wish us something either good or bad cause it will help!

THE CAGE


Today was awesome at the CAGE at Kallang...
we had so much fun playing soccer on turf ground and it was although tiring, but we really bonded well and had lots of fun playing scoring goals....Ivan was amazing, Pritish, as good as ever, Eduardo, Marcus,Me, Thapana,Shawn playing our very best scorgin goals, defending and striking forward. Also our famouse goalkeepers, NAthaniel and Jun Rong, not forgetting our model DEXTER, getting a leg cramp the moment we finished the game! HE played well though.
Once we left the CAGE, walked to the road to get a cab, pretty easy to get one cause there were alot and Jun Rong, Nathaniel and Eduardo came along too. They were talking things that were not of the topic so i guess they were nonsensing about! (:


Well, that ended the day.

Hey people...

this is wad happened after exams during the last few days!
WEll, exams are over and the activities have just begun
MORE TO COME......


BertramBrandon

OVER!


Hey people...
Today was one of the FUNNEST day ever. Finished E maths paper1 which i felt was pretty easy and of course MR Ho set it amazingly well and easily to be done!
People came out of the classroom shouting FINISH but in a different way of saying it! ( you know what i'm talking about!) and we waited till 11 to leave the school because of a booking we had at SEOUL GARDEN at 12 so we basically took our time and waited in the canteen, met up with the other people in the canteen and waited for time to pasty by while playing mini soccer in the canteen with Pritish, Joshua, Nathaniel and many more...

11 came and we boarded the bus and it was super hot till nathaniel had to ask the uncle to increase the speed of the air con and reduce the temperature! it was really hot at the back of the bus! hmm....i kinda spent my time on the bus thanking some of my friends for their encouragement and took some pictures on the bus! its amazing when you notice things on the bus like the brand of the speakers, seat brands, air con brands and many more "GOOD" brands!

We reached seoul garden and i cooked for my table of 4 while the rest had their chosen one to cook! HAd fun getting hit by the oil many time but the rest on the table were super scared of it so they were like YOU COOK LA! PRitish, Jessie and Maisie all took cover! it was funny because they were shot more times than me! MORAL: COOK! AFter everything, they asked for eggs because i made my own oyster omelette and it tasted good and the rest wanted it so i guess i was cooking eggs after eggs for them! AMAZING how eggs are being cooked so fast!

After seoul gardening, we went to PS with the gang of the best buddies i have! Pritish, Nathaniel and special guest IVAN! we spent our time waiting for some things to be ready and it was almost 1 hour of waiting so we waited walked around looking at birthday cards and also for me, looking at potential gifts for people for their birthday presents so next week when i pop over, i would just buy them and spent my money! After that, we left in the cab! NAthaniel is sure rich today man! ALthough he had loads of money, he was like still asking money for the cab becaue i paid 4 bucks and the rest did not pay so in the end, they paid! Along the way, we were having lots of fun in the cab laughing at each other and also the main idol....THAMPANA!!!

Well my plans for this week...

THURSDAY....music exam
ARENA training with CCA

FRIDAY.....THE CAGE with pritish and gang


SOUND EXCITING!

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!

Broadway


Today was great! Had chinese with only doing a test and the rest of the time playing throughout! Well, we were having listening compre when the radio when bonkers so we had to wait! AFter school, had my Music EOY practical and i was as scared as a something cause the duet i did not practice with Cong Yu and in the end i had 29/40 for my 2 solo pieces so i guess i did my best! I GIVE THANKS!

I am currently reading Pst. Phil Pringle books and it is really challenging me to keep on serving and be on fire for GOD! Well, i am thinking of jamming after exams! Some have asked me already so if theres more, just let me know and i will plan the time out for me to come and join your!

Why is there people sending me virus and i would send to them too! Damn those virus creators from MARS!!!!

THE DAY OF TESTS

Tomoro is geog Map reading with Rivers and thursday is my music test for practical and some 2-part writing thing! Aaaaaaah...its too much but I CAN DO ALL THINGS WHO CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!

Been praying alot this few days, seeking him and letting god take over my life and lead me each day in the right path and so on! Well, i feel that is happening as the love of God has seen me through all my days i give praise and thanks unto him for he is good!


Well, its back to studying and see you soon!

GOD OF MY FOREVER

GOD OF MY YOUTH I REMEMBER

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

MY LIFE IS SAVED WITH A PRICE
YOUR SACRIFICE REDEEMED MY SOUL
GOD OF MY FOREVER

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

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

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!!!

Sum 41 - Best Of Me lyrics

It's so hard to say that
I'm sorry
I'll make everything alright

All these things that I've done
Now what have I become, and where'd I go wrong?
I don't need to -- just to put you first
I won't tell you lies
I will stand accused
With my hand on my heart
I'm just trying to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I know that I can't take back all of the mistakes
But I will try
Although it's not easy
I know you believe me
Cause I would not lie
Don't believe their lies
Told from jealous eyes
They don't understand
I won't break your heart
I won't bring you down
But I will have to say

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

teachers day rehearsal once again


HEY EVERYONE....
just came back from school thanks to the rehearsal for Teachers day tomorow....i guess it going to be an exciting one...i'm finally wireless well.... today was kinda busy because we had to wait for our turn to rehearse for almost close to 4 hours with ZI JIE, NATHANIEL, TREVOR and LATONIA....cause the rest were playing and we got bored.After all, we had loads of fun with Nathaniel with his funny things and with the teachers too like MR REN and MS HIA and MR LIEW...
They were singing and i was surprised they could sing and i won't go further on and let you readers figure it out tomorow cause SUSPENSE is the key...

After a while i felt bored so i started reading the book called FAITH by Rev. Dr. Phil Pringle
The book was full of empowerment of FAITH and it made me assured that i kept the faith and have won the race. You people should read it cause it has loads of encouragement in it and it expresses the feelings of many and how FAITH helps to overcome each and every circumstances....'


well i'm tired now so i shall go and catch a nice hot bath and sleep in it making BEET ROOT JUICE!!!! See ya for now... i shall place some videos here to show you how today was like!

I played with Nathaniel and Zi Jie with his funny timings on the drums for MS Tan. It was DON"T KNOW WHY by Norah Jones.... i kinda liked it when Latonia played the instrumental part...for me, i'm still learning it and i hope i can master it quickly enough...

Day with YI FENG

Just recruited Yi Feng into my band REVOLUTIONARY GENERATIONZ...
today we were practicing for our audition for teachers day for we had prepared an inappropriate song last tuesday....
WE started practicing and we suddenly went mad singing in chipmunk voice and he videod me singing it and i hope it ain't gonna be placed up on the web...

Well, it was fun spending time with him fellowshipping with him too....we were filled with music in our minds and i loved his guitar...the tone was super duper clear and i liked it but the action was quite high so needed more energy to press and sing...

Finally the songs aren't so high that i can't reach and i am thankful for it...my voice is draining out and i hope it would return as i can't stand my voice to be so croacky(if theres such a word) and soar.
Tomoro is debate and i haven't prepared my speech for the motion. I guess its gonna be impromtu once again

See ya guys,
LOVE GOD....

PART 3 of LIFE IN 3B

PART 3 of LIFE IN 3B

Stars

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same

I've been thinkin' maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast and maybe
All my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at our planet,
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe startin' to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane

I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond our own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Everyone, everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, ya everyone you feel so empty
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone  

I dare you to move

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Day around Singapore in 3 hours

Hey people,

today was kinda fun because we were having fun going around Singapore trying to complete different stations within 3 hours... Me and my group went to Singapore Poly first in which i felt it was a waste of time and marks because of the time spent there only for 10 marks and the time spent could be going to Changi Airport and completing a set of questions worth 50 points =D but in the end, we went to Velocity and Lavender where i felt it was quite interesting....
as in a whole, i kinda enjoyed myself with the buddies around like Nattarat, a guy to play around with especially when he wore the burger king hat, Nicholas and grace, for being the entertainers of the group and everyone too for organising the event such as WONG CHUN HEI.....
The shirt was a total off colour but it was quite comfortable hahaha.....

WE returned to school and watch performances like the cultural performances and fashion parade and they were fanstastic and it rounded off the day with my band jamming at Reuben place where we finally got our first song done up nicely....yipee and it was great fun with the band...


Still to come...

FESTIVAL OF PRAISE

Hey everyone,
great to be back after a long day serving at FOP!!!
Well, FOP was really empowering with Delirious and Don Moen where they lead the whole congregation in Praise and Worship where really i felt that we as a nation should gather the whole community of God's people to come together to pray for the nation too....

the whole event was really packed especially from the preaching of Rev. Dr. Phil Pringle who usually come to my church to preach but also, his message for the last few nights has been really a great and impacting one where he used Mary and Martha to illustrate the differences in Christians where some are always doing the work while others really do look forward in meeting Christ. well, the messages has really touched my heart and i know that we are called here to gather in his presence for a purpose in which we are to bring revival to our campuses and spread the gospel to the people, seeing them turn to Christ and follow the steps of Christ to impact and penetrate the marketplace.

Delirious was really rocking the whole youth and also the adults also when Don Moen led in his well known songs GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND GIVE THANKS!!!
I also had an up close with Delirious where they auto graphed my very own CD and book i bought from them and it was an honour to meet them. Got a chance to speak with STU G too and he was really funny!

well, i guess FOP was a great occasion for the whole community of Christians to gather and pray and see GOD moving in out nation, performing miracles and being touched by the presence of GOD!

COME!!!! BE RENEWED!!!!!

Well, this is all for now!!
BEET ROOT!!!

SOLID ROCK

THERE'S A ROCK THAT DOESN'T MOVE
IT HASN'T MOVED, IT WILL NEVER MOVE
EVEN THOUGH THE WAVES COME CRASHING DOWN
THERE'S A TOWER ON A HILL, IT'S ALWAYS STRONG
IT WILL NEVER SHAKE
IT WAS STANDING THERE BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN
THERE'S A WAVE THAT'S COMING IN
WASHING OVER THIS TOWN
IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK US, RE-INVENT US
IT'S TIME TO LAY ME DOWN

ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK WE WILL STAND
ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND
ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK WE WILL STAND
WE'LL CLIMB ON YOUR BACK
TAKE US TO HIGHER GROUND

THERE'S A SONG THAT DOESN'T FADE
IT NEVER FADES IT WAS CUSTOM MADE
TO RAISE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THIS EARTH
THERE'S A SOUND THAT'S COMING IN
RUSHING OVER THIS TOWN
IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK US, RE-INVENT US
IT'S TIME TO LAY ME DOWN

MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS
THAN JESUS BLOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
I DARE NOT TRUST THE SWEETEST FRAME
BUT WHOLLY LEAN ON JESUS NAME
WHEN DARKNESS SEEmS TO VEIL HIS FACE
I REST ON HIS UNCHANGING GRACE
IN EVERY HIGH AND STORMY GALE
MY ANCHOR HOLDS WITHIN THE VEIL
HIS OATH HIS COVENANT AND BLOOD
SUPPORT ME IN THE ‘WHELMING FLOOD
WHEN ALL AROUND MY SOUL GIVES WAY
HE THEN IS ALL MY HOPE AND STAY
WHEN THE LAST TRUMPETS VOICE SHALL SOUND
O THEN I MAY IN HIM BE FOUND
CLOTHED IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE
FAULTLESS TO STAND BEFORE HIS THRONE

The day of 16 hours spent in SCHOOL!!!!

Last Friday was one of my most enjoyable days where we had founders day and thanksgiving services from day to night.
It started off with the founders day service for the lower and upper sec in which i stayed back stage to watch the band play and also get annoyed by Jim...alot..... then i jammed with the band consisting of Zi jie, Jim, Caleb and Lilin where we got stopped by the pianoman tuner where we had to leave for lunch with Ms Tan at Swensons and we got a treat from her. It was great having a time of fellowship where once again i got teased and Jim too, got teased most by us cause he kep ordering the weird flavours for the EARTHQUAKE!!!

Then we went back to school for the rehearsal for the thanksgiving session during the night for the EX-fairsians and really we were very tired so we kinda slept off and everyone was lying on the floor at back stage till the session started. Exactly at 7.30, we were had to be in our position where we stood for almost 15 minutes before we played the songs. Standing beside Jim was like standing beside a jet thanks to his wonderful 350Watt amp which blew me off due to the high gained vibration. Then Ms Lim came up with her speech and after a while, the most memorable thing that would be in my mind is that there was a blackout due to a short circuit of the spotlight just directly above Jim's bass and sparks were dropping and instant a blackout occurred. It was kinda cool because you won't experience this in a school and it was fun too.....

Then at the end, we took many jump shots and acting cool stuff and that ended our day off.
Well, lastly i would like to thank the band members. Thank Zi jie for his drumming skills that made us jammed really well. Caleb for his marvelous Gibson les paul that made the sound and tone real QUALITY. Jim for his annoyance and Lilin for her piano skills that really sounded cool and nice.

Well, i will be back with more stories....
So see ya...

SAVIOR KING

LIFE

Hey everyone,
Today was a great day for we had to rehearse for THANKSGIVING SERVICE this Friday with the band consisting of Caleb, Zi Jian, Jim and Lilin. Well, we kinda recorded the things we did but it turned out to be quite weird because there weren't much of a sound control thing to help to control the balance of sounds so there some parts each one of us were very loud...
but it turned out well....

Also, i managed to accomplish something that i always look forward to which was to serve during FOP and indeed, i have made it happen so i guess i will be busy this coming weekend...ANYONE WANNA COME FOR FESTIVAL OF PRAISE!!!!

hmmm....i have been listening to this song and i felt it has really spoke to me so i guess it will help you each time you feel down cause JESUS is our saviour king!!!!


SAVIOR KING


And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is ? and I'm more blessed


Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king


We love you Lord, we worship you
You are our God, you alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love you Lord, I worship you
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king


Let now your church shine as the bride
That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own


I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king

Each day is a gift from GOD

Remember the seven simple rules to be happy :

1. LOVING GOD

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your
heart.
(Psalm 37:4)


2. THANKFULNESS

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing
one
another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
with
thankfulness in your hearts to God. (Colossians 3:16)


3. HOPE

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your
hope
in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. (Psalm 42:11)


4. CONTENTMENT

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what
you
have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake
you". (Hebrews 13:5)


5. JOY

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the
bones
(Proverbs 17:22)
Lord said, I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that
your
joy may be complete. (John 15:11)


6. DON'T WORRY

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition,
with thanksgiving, preent your request to God. And the peace of God,
which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)


7. PEACE

Lord said, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give
to you
as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid. (John 14:27)

Listening to GOD'S WORD

Here i am sitting on my bed, done my quiet time and i kept singing this song which i felt that its really how good it is to praise god and really i feel that we must spend more time praying for our schools, family, anything that is needed for prayer and even for our friends!

well, this is one of the songs that i have been focusing on which is by Reuben Morgan,,,,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."



We really need to sing praises to him and to be blessed we need to be a blessings so why not start now?!?


GOD BLESS

Saturdays

Hey everyone,
Today has been really a long day in which i started waking up at 5.30am to go to school...i mean who would go to school so early but it was kind of a must for me cause my literature teacher wanted to me to go for the literature festivals in which there was a set text debate and unseen poetry debate and i went and had to help both teams do their prep case which was tough for me cause i thought that it wasn't going to happen like this but i was wrong....Well, i was told to help each member and tell each one of them on their roles and i though of sleeping on my bus journey there but thanks to the first time debators who were very nervous, i had to tell them detailed instructions and i was really very tired!!!!!

We arrived at PLMGS and then we realised that the unseen poetry debate was supposed to be prepared but thanks to our teacher, we won't even told and resulted in the 4 of us to go mad and we had to prep our case immediately within the time limit of about 1 and a half hours and that was really challenging cause even myself, i didn't go through this before!!!
Well, we managed to have a amusing and funny debator which was Shervin. He stood up and he had 4 books on the table and he was taking up and throwing the book on table after every point he said cause we kept on passing him the points and it was really funny!!!

Well, in the end we came in 2nd for the debate and we were well organised for our structures speeches and that was considered good for prep time for 1 and a half hour!!!! CONGRATS TEAM!!!!

anyway, after the debates, i went to do my RND with my group and finally after many weeks, we completed our final products and we hope that we would succeed!!!

Apart from that, i am looking forward to a new week for there are many exciting things coming up and really i am excited over them!!!!!

See ya around people,
BEET ROOT!!!!

after a days work....

Hey people all around the world,
the mountains are still trembling....OPEN UP THE DOORS AND LET THE SINGERS SING!!!!

Anyway, these few days has been tiring due to the preparation for COMMENDATION SERVICE AND FOUNDER"S DAY SERVICE, playing for praise and worship. Well, also my band has been practicing for many hours and well i have work out with reuben(my electric guitarist) with one of the songs we co-wrote together and i guess its getting pretty out well....

For me, i have been through a long week even tough i know what ahead of me is going to be long days too so i guess its going to be much more tiring!

I guess this is all for now!
GOD BLESS!!!!!

Returning to the past you know

Hey people....

Today was really kind of a long day with all the lessons and also my lessons outside like my piano lessons which my exams are coming in 3 weeks time and its really a pressure but i found out that if i practice, it would be perfect and also praying for me to get a good grade and in the end, progress on to the next grade which would be GRADE8!!! =D

Well, i have finally wrote finish my 4th song for my band and i really feel encouraged and on fire for GOD to keep on going, writing songs to praise and worship him! Now is the time! After hearing to Delirious? songs, it really impacted me especially the song TAKE OFF MY SHOES...
i decided that i place the lyrics down... (:

Take Off My Shoes

I’ll take off my shoes, I’m coming in,
Untie this rope, I’m staying with him,
Love of my life, I’ll live and die,
Just for the moments for my king and I.

Why did you call, why did you wait,
For someone so guilty, someone so fake.
There are no words for my beautiful song,
Now I’m in the arms of my beautiful one.

Hold me, blow all the pride from my bones,
With your fire.
Hold me, breathe on this heart made of stone,
Keep it pure.
Hold me, saviour of heaven and earth,
King forever.
Hold me, love of my life lead me on,
Through the fire, lead me on...

I’ll take off this crown and fall at your feet,
The secret of joy are the moments we meet.
How could a man with all of your fame,
Pull me from darkness and call me by name.

So hold me today, as I carry your cross,
Into the desert to find who is lost.
Look at my hands, they’re still full of faith,
God keep them clean till we finish the race.

The time has come for us to stand in the gap and make the difference!


Back to school life,
i received my geography test today and i was shocked to see my marks because it was way different from before (either improving or deproving...), but i heard i did quite well for my E MATHS paper so i guess there isn't nothing to worry about now!
Well, its back to writing songs and i will see ya people later!!

REVOLUTIONARY GENERATIONZ

Well, since FMSS TALENT QUEST, i have been really challenged to carry on with creating music with my band "REVOLUTIONARY GENERATIONZ"

We have come up with a few composed songs and i am sure it will really be cool cause its rocking time!
Right now, i feel myself doing many types of work which causes me to think really alot right now at this very moment! Things such as school work, projects, and also most importantly to serve god!

Right now, i am currently writing my 3rd song for my band and its really coming out perfectly. Every word is significant and it represents a theme for each song. I pray that it would really come in hady for those of you out there who will be listening to the songs and I pray that you will be impacted by the words and draw closer to GOD!

Well,
this is all for now!

See ya soon!!!
