now is the first minute of the first hour of the last day of the year 2005.
i loved 2005 really. hated some parts though. but thanks to God.. i can still look at the big picture and smile. things i wanted.. He gave me.. some He didn't. but of course, its all for a good reason. i've also learnt that i'm more of an introvert rather than an extrovert and that i'm a thinker rather than a feeler. rather cool. haha. 2005 was a year that i didnt look forward to very much. thanks to the A levels. but when i look back.. well.. it wasnt that bad after all. wouldnt mind experiencing it again. but then again.. life is about moving on.
i'm gonna miss this year. cant help but have a sense of nostalgia at the end of every year. i guess its only human.
what 2006 holds... i dont know. i can get pretty scared when i think too much into it. but i know that i can pray for it. i pray that it would make me stronger. pray that i'd learn more. pray that i'd grow. pray for better relationships. pray that i'd be the man of God i always wanted to be. pray for a new zoom effects pedal. haha. but really.. nothing starts a year better then committing it to God.
From the fullness of His grace we have all recieved one blessing after another. ~John 1:16
be really merry

5th day of xmas. five days of family friends fun and flu. i like. haha.
still a lil on the flu-ish side. i'll pray really hard that it'll be over before SMASH.
came back from cell chalet this morn. well.. i'll have to admit that we cell members can be rather unsensitive towards our cell leaders at times. so bad that being labelled morons is still an understatement. but i guess these things bring about the events that allow us to say that we've been through thick and thin. we are men of God still under the refining fire and constant sculpturing.
this morn.. i've decided in my heart that i'll start working immediately next year. so today i've submitted an application form for relief teaching. i think its gonna be a great job. (if i can even get it in the first place).

on the bus today.. i was right at the back. there was a plump guy right in front of me. the way he slept was hilarious. he was trying not to sleep and i could tell he was fighting it really hard. he rolled from side to side. the sight was hilarious. he leaned of the right.. and ended up knocking the glass non-stop. he leaned on the left... and fell of the chair twice. as for me.. i was being a sadist and laughed non stop for the whole 15 mins till my sides ached. when pple filled the back seats.. i tried hiding my laughter behind autumn.
and yes.. that was my source of entertainment today.
oh man.. the last few days were occupied with carolling, events and more carolling. God has been really helpful in all the events. and i tell myself that its still early. and before i know it.. its xmas eve tmr and i havent even finished half of my xmas shopping. i am so desperate for at least one more day. i just need ONE more day and i might get to finish things off. o well.. too late i guess.
Merry Christmas Eve Eve.

kexian: cool! erm well.. i'm kinda still in the midst of finding a diving sch.. haha.

i'm gonna take scuba diving lessons with leon. after which.. he'll drive us out on a boat to the south china sea and we're go deep sea diving and fishing. thats the plan for now. haha.

i present to you.. KONG!! king kong can practically knock the socks off anyone. if you have the fear of thunderous waves, repulsive faces of monstrous tribal pple, spine-tingling bugs and hungry dinos, please watch it. you'll cringe, laugh, squeak, moan or even cry. besides.. there's nothing else a 3 hour movie can throw in can it? pretty much your money's worth (maybe expect the rip-off weekends).
poor alv had to bear with the two "bimbotic" girls beside him who provided much unwanted commentary throughout the whole movie. hilarious.
haha. and james sent me this picture in hoping to inspire me. well.. i'm not too sure if i'm inspired. but i'm now super interested in the hi-tech gear.

Just Like Some
what difference does it make
if i give a smile away again and again
would i be who i want to be-
nice, sprinkled and all
but if it helps the world this way
let it be known to me somehow sometime somewhere.
sometimes, just the touch of the earth feels like heaven
someday, all my dreams will come true.
someway, i'll give all my praises to you
because what i want,
is to be just like some...

sanctuary makeover
my mum walked in and dumped this before going for another family trip leaving me home alone again. haha. so much for wanting to stay home.
so basically for my room's makeover.. i'm supposed to choose a new wall colour.. new day curtains.. new night blinds. and to put it simply.. i have NO IDEA how to get around this. there are like and hundred and one designs and the colours.. o my.. the spectrum is infinite.
i need a theme. think.
watched aeon flux with leon, dre and weiren. leon and i kinda agreed that we watched it just to see more of charlize theron. haha!

15 did you know that there's only 15 days left to christmas? amazing.
well.. i think there won't be anymore clubbing for me. haha. only thrice and i'm already known as a clubber. i really do not like being called a clubber. sounds wrong man.. haha. secondly.. i still dont really see the point of it all. though i think it would be great if there's a huge bunch of friends to hang around with.. but that doesnt really happen all the time. thirdly.. i always end up giving my free drink away to someone else coz i cant really drink.. and it always part of the ticket price you pay and i lose money in the end. haha.
HOWEVER.. i believe the next time would be when evelyn wants us to bring andre along. haha.
i just realised i've the habit of locking myself up in my room and strum my guitar non-stop when i'm down. and habit always stays.. take h away.. abit remains.. take a away.. bit remains.. take b away.. it remains.
and i've been so free that i'm starting to pen songs..
what difference does it make

and from here i'm stuck as always. hah.

operation "cleanup"
OPERATION "CLEANUP"
10 gruelling hours. extreme exposure to dust leading to serious irritation of nose. pouring in of old memories upon finding old stuff. clearing of 1996-2005 reader's digest books lying around at every single corner of the room. clearing of all evil lecture/tutorial notes and books. reading past years greeting cards. inspection upon inspection by the oh so strict woman of the house.
misson acomplished.
i am so happy and tired. though i've a feeling that it would be back to square one in no time. God forbid me. haha

near future tonight is my uncle's birthday at the sichuan restaurant.
tmr i'll be going into the last phase of cleaning up my messy room before starting to paint the walls. bbq with the fencing team.
next day another bbq with the class at chalet!! i hate having sore throats..
thurs i'll be playing for worship. leading a segment in the ym special meeting. then heading to ludicrous@ gotham penthouse.
fri will be worship prac.
and so on and so forth...
i'm glad to see that i've actually got stuff to do.
by the way. there are two movies that i believe everyone has to watch. first is Memento. its one of the most amazing movies ever. its a highly ingenious movie that makes you think your guts out and keeps your brain ticking to follow along the plot. must watch. second is City of Angels. is just so simple yet so deep in showing what love, sacrifice, fate, angels and God is about. not to mention that its got my all time favourite iris by goo goo dolls. i seriously will never ever find a song so fitting for such a great movie.

hello again its 2.45am and i cant sleep. haha.
well.. firstly. pics of nz trip and prom are going to be up soon. painstaking effort really.
nz trip...
to put it simply. had loads of crappy fun, experienced beautiful scenery, felt God's awesomeness, did extreme stuff and had a WHOLE lot of deep thinking and reflection. i guess the four of us bonded real well. thank God there were no disputes and all. everything was smooth and as planned. i guess the highlight of it all was the scenery and the bungy jumping! rafting and jet boating was fun... but bungy was a whole different story coz i've got quite some vertigo in me. for the first time.. i daresay i stared fear in the eye. ;)
prom..
ah well.. it's the kind of things that just stay etched in your memory. though i'm rather put off by the fact that the prom king had the dumbest of sheer luck of winning the grand prize also (totally unheard of).. i think the dinner as a whole was ok. i guess the fun really started after prom at the party in china black. as a first timer.. i must say that it was quite an eye opener for me. for starters.. i had to get used to the sight of girls grinding each other and the fact that some of them can get extremely agressive. but with friends and classmates around.. its just plain enjoyable. saw loads of pple get drunk. not to mention that addy tried ordering a few shots me. i had to convince her that i'd be lying on the floor the next moment if i drank them. i cant drink for nuts. for the time being that is.
the next day at club momo was pretty much the same. just that you meet a lot more pple due to its vast capacity difference. i might have another round on the 9th dec at gotham penthouse. it apparently more glamorous. i shall trust edwin this once.
i came home today to see sprinkles of xmas decorations. wonderful. its that time of year. finally.
i'm seriously hoping that it would be specially different this year. as it is every year.
