    a day to rmb

    26 Oct 08

    Time flies.. in a blink of an eye, Soo Chin and I have been together for 2 months!
    On our actual anniv day was our zone's S2F Finals Night. Dear's CG W459 was performing to the masses at JW Audi. Their band "UnDefined" was really mind-blowing. I'm absolutely very proud of them. However I didn't make it for the event cuz I'm having a paper the next day so I had to bar myself and study. I guess dear was rather disappointed and thought that I forgot about it! Haha.. I didn't! On Sat, I whispered to her ears while sitting beside her during svc (its actually our 2nd time sitting tgt after being attached!) that I rmbed our 2-mth anni! She smiled.

    So I brought her out on SUN where all of us have no CG at all!! Felt very free but yet misses all our CGs. Guessed we're just accustomed to having Sun CGs.
    We celebrated our 2nd mth @ Angus House (Taka). Very nice Steak House. Sharon blessed us with a $80 gift voucher during my bdae. Tks S.M.!!!
    Nice ambience.. sort of fine-dining style.. candle-lit, appetizer, soup, bread, main course, desert...we certainly njoyed our nite der L-M-ing
    its dear's 2nd time eating steak! Great night.. and after that we went to watch 'Blindness' at Lido. Very nice show. Felt that the show portrayed the dark side of humanity when facing adversity. Something like 'The Lord of the Flies' - a lit text I did in sec school. If you're free, should watch that show. Its M18 I guessed... got inspired to watch when I was studying at Mac.. haha... that @Life tv in Mac has been promoting that show.
    But pls.. never go to Lido to catch a movie. The seats at the smaller theatres are disastrous! Rows super narrow and I actually sank into the bottom of the chair and its really super uncomfi..
    Apart from that.. its another wonderful day to rmb...
    63 days together and counting..
    Its really such a blessing to have tis "angel" in my life! Luv ya princess...

    Chicken wing?

    (Kailin.. this is for u! *haha)
    Well, I had tuition with one of my students at our usual BK cityhall.
    Just as nice Mr Ong decides to rewards his student with his Old Chang Kee Crab Onstik,
    my dear student asked if it was a chicken wing!! She refused to believe that its crab and insisted its another lame joke of mine.
    So I've decided to take a photo and ask the audience if this actually looks like a chicken wing at all!!
    (Click "Add a comment" below to comment.)
    "Kailin.. we'll see the results!"
    haha..
    chicken wing?


    Yesterday was our zone's "A shot to fame" auditions for the various categories such as dance, vocals and band. I got a chance to be there to witness the young contestants battling themselves and try out their shot to stardom. Some of them were inexperienced but what really impressed me is their guts. Its something that's commendable. At their young age, they are actually singing/performing on stage for the audiences to see. There's errors here and there, glimpse of nervousness, forgetting their lyrics, technical unawareness etc but I feel that they were really bold. When I was 15, I din even join such competitions. My first talentime was in PJC. I was 18 by then. These youths are simply awesome! I'm blown away by then. 
    I would like to give special credit to Rae's mbrs. They rock my socks! I think they did very well. I'm so proud of all of you... especially Valerie Ang! The most powerful female drummer of the day. Haha.. I'm bias cuz I'm her tutor Wink. So proud of all of you. And of cuz to my dearest W453, i'm so proud of all of you too ya? Let's have a great week ahead! Looking fwd for The Edge II - "The Great Makeover".

    Help me

    Help me
    (
    written by Steve Deal, Dan Pringle, Joe Pringle, Leah Pringle and Darren Elliot)

    Help me to stand up each day, walk in your way
    To read your word and pray
    Help me to fight a good fight, to stay in the light
    To praise you day and night
    Help me to not just survive, to be so alive
    Smiling on the inside
    Help me to let your light show, to let your love flow
    So all the people know  

    Chorus

    Whoa o o o o o o o…. my heart cries out to you
    Whoa o o o o o o o….your grace will see me through
    Whoa o o o o o o o…. you give me heavens view
    Whoa o o o o o o o….it all comes back to you  

    Verse

    2
    Help me to walk in your love, sent from above, Lifting me up
    Help me to sing a new song when everythings wrong
    You
    re keeping me strong
    Help me to stay by your side, I dont have to hide
    I
    ll live you on the outside
    Help me to always be true, Im carried by you
    I know you
    ll see me through

    RMIT BBMKG Exams

    Exams period..
     
    25 Oct: Distribuition Channel
    3 Nov: Organisational Behaviour
    6 Nov: Buyer Behaviour
    10 Nov: Market Research
     
    This will be my very first examination in the so-called official University. Although I'm in Sem 3 now,
    i missed the first 2 sems due to exemptions from my diploma course(DMS) that SIM offered to me. 4 modules instead of the usual 3 that I took per sem in DMS.
    As usual, we have plenty of project assignments to rush and every week, we're just meeting up, doing our parts and rushing for deadlines.
    What's the drastic difference? Friends.
    Usually during my exams period, I'll get a few of my classmates to study together at places like Mac. I'm a very "argumentative" person where I learn best when I have someone to discuss and help me stimulate my thinking. I never memorise facts but I understand them. People that know me will know that I'm quite a "deep" person. I see things differently and I'll learn to think of examples that I can apply and relate to. Previously, I've got friends like Wei Jian, Terence and sometimes Linh to join me and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Late morning meet-ups at Science Center Mac or Bukit Batok Mac and we'll head for lunch (late-comer pay). I really enjoy those days. Even for my project mates, I've come to appreciate them even more - Jetrink, Brandon, Alan, Linh, Myself. Minimal conflicts, zero meet-ups. Due to the fact that we're a single gender team, we work very effectively and efficiently. We will meet only like once during our break, split our task and bring back our work to do. So shuang kuai!
    Things have changed after I moved on to RMIT Sad.
    More meet-ups, all gals and one "always-invisble" guy in my group (you can see that i hardly mention about them at all). Different personalities, many cliques, no friendship. So sick of such lifestyle. Sometimes I just don't feel like going to school. RMIT is like a big lecture hall where everyone's doing their own things. I still prefer DMS. Yes, lots of foreigners, young kids, noisy people but I like their energy. Their guts to ask questions and challenge the lecturer at times. All these have changed. Sighs... The only thing that's sustaining me is to have tuitions after school and to meet my dear. That's all. Other than that, school s**.
    But I want to do well for my coming exams. I miss Weijian, terribly. Apart from swimming and gyming on alternate days, he won't be able to study with me as before. Dear dear has offered to accompany me to study but I doubt it will be as fruitful as someone that I can ask questions and learn together but still, I do appreciate her time and effort just to keep me company. U're the best darling!
     
    Thank God that with the help of Donny, I got my first Distinction for my OB class assignment. *praise God!!!
     
    Let's just hope that I will do well for my studies. I must be productive, fruitful. The month of September has passed. Its quite a stale month. No growth in my CG... lots of absentees due to exams. Change must take place. I must make things happen. New changes coming for October. 23 by Dec - our vision. No more honeymoon period guys.. no more waiting for things to happen.. no more adjusting your spiritual life... time for a great white wash!!!
     
    Pray for me:
    pray for my throat - voice hasn't been well since my TW camps and now its badly affected after all the P&W in Cg/Zone mtgs/Edge.
    Pray that I will not develop nodules.
    Pray for my studies.. greater capacity.. good grades. I really need to do well to have a better future.
    Pray for breakthru in my CG.. training more leaders and growth in my mbr's life! no more slacking... up up and away!!!
    Pray for financial breakthru. Pst Kong says it all. No more stupidity from my part. I want to plan, prosper and progress on in life and to give her a better life. Exam period ending.. all tutions seized = zero income. Pray for open doors. I really need to be a "jireh" in my life as a son, boyfriend and a leader.
     
    That's all for now,
     
    PS: thanks for being a loyal WiN's HaVeN fan if you actually spend time reading this whole blog post. Like what Bee says, after I'm attached, viewership plunged...
    no more tagging, no more comments... yeah, I've removed the songs, videos as its causing a great lag but I do hope to post greater revelations. Keep supporting ya? *appreciates...

    The Stand

    I just can't help but to fall in love with this song. It has a beautiful melody.

    Somewhat like Hillsong's "All I need is you".
    Played this in my CG last week and the atmosphere was so good.
    Check this out man...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJp8HGtyG8A&feature=related

     

    The Stand


    You stood before creation

    Eternity within Your hand

    You spoke the Earth into motion

    My soul now to stand

     

    You stood before my failure

    Carried the cross for my shame

    My sin weighed upon Your shoulders

    My soul now to stand

     

    So what can I say

    What can 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
