mundane smundane

I like the fact my mum gives me money for random reasons

friday night
time for the recount

jo's party
was a time where you can really see the difference between when guys plan and when girls plan
big difference

anyway, I'm glad jo was sufficiently surprised
(even though, yes, she bumped into xue er the day before carrying 2 tins of paint)
but she didn't suspect
so yay!

it was fun, and funny too
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JOELLEEEEEEE

if its good, good

take it in stride

nahhhh, who cares :P

anyway! on to my life
(so ego)

saturday
P6 program was actually quite fun
bonding with my di's and mei's
and made me feel tall
anyway, seems like everyone is someone else's sibling
had ariel's brother, xue er's brother, colten's sister in my group
timothy, zheng han and colleen respectively
now no one can say I forget names!
hah!

I'm sad to leave my buzz group :(
(probable)last fuel next week
:(

sunday!
went for pl service
walked in late
joy!
heard brother andy preach the same sermon

pl's atmosphere is different than adam's
but its good :D
because God's leading in two different ways, but the same direction

LCE
was actually okay
I've grown a resistance to boring talks through being in ACS(I)
these things just happen
but there are going to be changes
and I know that I trust God to lead me through
:D

I'm putting my hands on the plow and not looking back
what's in the past is in the past
oyster's pearl

On You I throw my life, casting all my fears aside,
How could greater love then this, ever possibly exist

So I wait upon You now
With my hands and knees to You
With a little faith enough
To see mountains lift and move

Second chance - Hillsong United
In A Valley By The Sea
I love this song
My Tech Team side is showing when I automatically capitalize the 'y' in '

before I forget! Get well soon Joelle!

on a side note, just because its 1am in the morning and I can't help the fact God's speaking to me, I'm going to send emails to random people

night falls
and I awake
Not much longer till the work day begins
quick shower
change of clothes
grab my briefcase

out to the car
wait, back up
forgot the coffee
cup of hot liquid down the throat
burns, keeps me awake

speed through the highway
crap, almost late
boss hates me
if he could, he'd fire me
but I'm too good

swerve
head straight into the lot
some guy beeps
two minutes
heck about him

walk in quickly
boss should be in office
sneak by if I'm careful
last sip
coffee in bin

back to the wall
peer around the corner just barely
he's walking to the toilet
just a little more
run past

shove card into the reader
waiting for the beep
pull out
safe

smile
walking past boss
on time, you can't do anything about it

I'm checked in
walk back out
pass cupid on the way
hate those hearts around him
if I could, I'd rip out the furry wings
too annoying
just ignore

get to my designated house for today
almost midnight
transit is hell
even for cars

walk into the bedroom
guy's asleep
so much easier that way
put on the most ridiculous helmet
staff uniform
burn it if I could

put my hand over his eyes
enter his dream

always disorients me

guy's pretty twisted
human greed at its worse
I better be getting hazard pay

see him
walking up

introduction, only fair

Hi
My name is Thomas
I'm your hope-killer for today

looks terrified
days like these
I love my job

can't believe I'm doing this, but...

List up to 10 things you want to say to 10 different people in no particular order. Do not state who
(credits to joelle, who, by the way, apparently started all of this)

1. My dear friend, you know you would be first. Just like I know the reason behind your first entry on your list. I haven't known you for long, but I don't know a better friend. I've seen you grow, slowly becoming the person that I know you are inside, the person God wants you to be. And I've always seen you as more than an equal, I look up to you. Like how there are days where I can't talk to you cause I'm not in sync with Him. But I trust you to knock sense into me when I need it. Yes, I'll keep playing my mind games with you, but only because its so fun to watch you squirm.

I do have one request though. That you don't treat me like an item on your to-do list. I'll take your time in the moments in-between

2. There are days where I doubt how much I mean to you, but those moments are far and few between. I recognize that you aren't the free-est person in the world, but there are times where I wish you'd care a little bit more, show a little more interest, tried a little. But you've done more than your fair share, and for that I thank you.

3. how long have I known you? when I think of it, it really has been a long time. What started out as merely a common interest in a game started a friendship that has lasted. I know about your life, but I don't know your mind. All this time and I've merely scratched the surface of what makes you you. But you, my friend, I have prayed for. Since the day I met you and God spoke to me about you, I've prayed for you. I do know some part of you, and what I do know is that you need my God. There was one night where God showed me your pain, let me feel it, and that night I wept, because I knew you needed Him. I'm still trying, and I hope one of these days you'll listen to me.

4. hahaha, time for a fun one. hi friend! thank you for all the encouragements you have showered upon me, even though many a time I probably didn't deserve it. Sometimes I push you away, even when you intentions are true. And for those times I am sorry. Thank you. For times too many to be written down. Thank you.

5. heh, I've been stuck with you my whole life. I remember those conversations we had, when everyone else was asleep, and we would just... talk. Because we trusted each other. I don't know what time has done to loosen that trust, but its still there. I haven't been the nicest, constantly eating your food, getting into arguements. But you still put up with me, cause you're stuck with me, like it or not (probably the latter). For being the only person I know who went "happy birthday, retard", thank you.

6. you. I don't hate you, I never have. To this day I don't know why. Why one morning when I walked through the door you completely ignored me. I admit, I didn't really notice for quite a while, but I've always been blur. No, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I will sooner or later. Right now all I ask is for you to forget your petty ways for once, and just tell me what I did wrong. Because I'm sick of it. Sick of your complete silence regardless of what I say to you. Sick you how when you accidentally say something to me you flinch. flinch. like it was something incredibly wrong. I wish you would just tell me

7. ah, close friend. I bet somewhere in your mind you anticipated me to put you here, and somewhere deeper in your mind another voice said that you were alot less significant than you thought. I'm here to say that you are significant, for the little things things that you thought were little, but meant alot.

8. you ahhhh... you give me headaches, annoy me, and there are times where I just go along with you. But it annoys me most not when you play your pranks, not when you interrupt important things, it annoys me when service begins, and I can see it in your eyes that you are running away. running away from God. The biggest lesson that God will teach you before you graduate from ignyte, is that you need to sacrifice. You know what you need to give up, you know who to give up, you know you need to do things. I'm just waiting for the day you do. I hoped the recently sermons struck a chord, because if they didn't I'm going to have to, and you know I'd hate that.

9. hello friend. Gone so long. We haven't talked much since the multiplication haven't we? I try. I try to message you but you don't reply. Either that or monosyllabic answers. I know you think I don't care about you. I do. If I didn't, I would have participated in many more defamatory conversations about you. But I didn't, because I do care. I defend you, your pride. All I ask in return is a simple hi. simple hi. simple.

10. Part of you must know that the only reason I did this was so I could find some way of talking to you without breaking that promise I made to myself.

on with my life!

saturday!
woke up... late
2pm
then went down to church
to help the p6's
yes
how incredibly awkward
and gab fang isn't the best person to be paired up with
anyway
somehow!
by the grace of God!
we managed!
hahahaha
and we survived
heh

service!
how fun!
although it was weird with the p6's
but we jump for God, not for men :D

fuel
hahahahahaha
(yes, that was random)
anyway
it was fun!
and my buzz group is fun!

sunday
my grandma's birthdaaaaay!
yay!
hahaha
so I feasted for lunch

by now, any christian with an email should have received that warning message about the new movie, the golden compass
which is based on a trilogy of books
and me, being the skeptic I am, decided to actually do some reading up about it
and yes, I do firmly believe that it goes against christian beliefs
come on!
for one, the name of the trilogy
'His Dark Materials'
any bells ringing?

fine, maybe not
'One defining aspect of the story is his concept of dæmons.'
that should ring more bells
dæmons = demons
just a fancier name

the main plot of the story revolves around two 12 year old children fulfilling a prophecy to be 'the next adam and eve' and destroy 'The Authority' which is the story's version of 'God'

I'm sure some of us have already seen the trailer for the film, and it talks about the girl who goes against the Magisterium, which apparently controls most of the western world. This Magisterium is the story's version of the church.

One of the characters, Mary Malone, a former nun, states that 'the Christian religion…is a very powerful and convincing mistake, that's all.'

The book also portrays the christian heaven as a lie, the real afterlife is depicted as a bleak place where souls are tormented by harpies.

Although the book's author, Philip Pullman, has denied that his books are an opposite to CS Lewis', he has dismissed Lewis as "blatantly racist" and "monumentally disparaging of women."

Knowing what other skeptics will say, I am merely laying out facts for you to see.

But no, I will not watch this movie, and I'm encouraging other christians not to either.

wow, I feel better
ranting about bad movie works!

call me a zealot

class outing was thoroughly fun.
really fun

but in recounting the events, I realised the day started out pretty bad
lets see
I woke up at 7
ate, bathed, packed
left the house at 8
got horrendously lost on my way to east coast park
arrived at 11
11
3 hours later
transit trouble
yeesh
anyway, it was fun at east coast park
played ctf(capture the flag)
which was so fun!
man
my team's second win was really dramatic

ervin running with red flag
me running with blue flag
run run run toward base
*chariots of fire music playing*
both stab flags into the ground at the same time
hahahahaha
I have a sense of the dramatic

anyway, darren tay arrived...
well, he never actually arrived
went off in three groups, two groups took cab
the third group (including me) decided to find darren tay
which meant we had to walk
alot
over the expressway flyover
oh joy!
constant threat of being run over
its the adrenaline that fuels you

got to darren tay's house, had a shower, pigged out on pizza, played bridge and texas hold'em
fun

then went to Church of the Risen Christ
heh, we stayed the night there
doing crazy stuff
its kind of funny how those who said they wouldn't sleep did

then ervin's house
and on the mrt, everyone looked... freaking stoned

at ervin's house
swimming
sauna
halo 3

then home

and the bliss of sleep

these nights I hate
these nights I miss you
I still love you

whoooooooooooooooo
and there goes the weekend

saturday

YES, EARLY
