Sleepovers

Well, didn't do much in the day today. Just stayed at home and slacked. Did I mention that my neck really hurts for I don't know what reason? Haha.

Jerome came over and chatted and played games for awhile. After that Alex and Alden came and we met Jerome at Botak Jones for dinner. Argh!! It was supposed to be no meat day today but heck.

Now at Jerome's house and they're playing moo moo. Lol, abit too tired to play. Well, blog soon! Seeya.

=]

Hah. Church today. Didn't really pay that much attention. But I sort of remember the main points. Went out after that. Shopping I guess? More of window shopping. Kind of fun, too bad most of my friends don't do that kind of thing. Oh, went out with Kenneth and Timothy. In the morning saw Jerome downstairs too. Haha.

Anyway, I sort of found the girl of my dreams. Lol! Too bad she's in California.. More specifically Chino?? Bought 2 Jason Mraz albums today. Couldn't find the thrid one. Haha, so basically this Sunday night I'm wasting my time on more PS3.. Played some guitar though.

Just another Saturday

Well, nothing much happened today. Anyway went out in the evening with my family and had dinner at some place. After that went to Orchard to walk around and stuff. Anyway, life's better now. Nothing much to blog about today.

Wow, I'm amazed by how much my spiritual walk has improved and I don't want it to suddenly go crumbling down like in the past. Right now, I feel like that's gonna happen soon. The devil maybe? Ok, most probably it's him. God, please chase him away. Or maybe it's cause I'm feeling just too tired right now. I don't know. Church tomorrow.

First time at work

Wow, long and tiring day today but meaningful.

Woke up at 6.40am. Ate a kiwi before leaving at 7.10am. Reached Orchard at 7.40am and met Kenneth and Timothy there. Wow, you know I really hope that they start going church again. It would mean alot to God and I. Anyway, met them there and we went to take our attendance. So we had to put our hand on the palm scanner to mark it down. I had a stomachache! And the queue was SO SO LONG! Really long! The moment I took my attendance I had to rush to the toilet. Moral of the story, I can't eat in the morning.

Work was an interesting experience. Anyway, we were put at 3 different 'checkpoints' so we couldn't slack with each other that much. LOL! Initially I had nothing much to do as my duty was like a tag checker which means that if any price tags are missing, I have to go and retrieve it from the place they found it. At the end of the day I ended up being a packer, mover, usher, crowd control fella, casher usher, tag checker and wrapper. The job description was just tag checker!! But it was fun. You know what?? Isetan kept their free gift stock in the male toilet and super unluckily, one of the urinals flooded and the whole place was flooded. So Timothy and I were told to clear the wet boxes up. Sick right.. It was water only I think but it still felt sick. First time I did such a thing. So we had to transfer so many goods into new boxes and shift them to the girls toilet. At 9am we then went for a briefing. The place was jam packed! I mean really really really crowded. Crazily crowded. Oh, did I mention it was some Isetan private sale which was for members only. Everything was on discount and you know the equation yourself. Singaporeans + Retarded Discounts = I don't know how to put it but you get the idea. So basically I had to usher people to the cashiers and run around like mad. It was fun though.

I guess I earned about $100 today. HAHAHA. Gonna sleep soon. Tired. Thanks God.

All I have, non I deserve

Ok, so today I got my new guitar. Haha

Did nothing much before that. In the noon first went to Swee Lee but could find nothing there. Then after that went to Plaza Singapura and found a super nice guitar. Intended to get an acoustic guitar but ended up getting a semi-acoustic guitar which hopefully I won't regret. Wow, I'm really happy for it.

The fact that I've gotten my guitar shows how much God and my mum loves me. GPA 2.2? Rejecting Him. Answering my mum back. I'm sure there's much more but which of the previous warrants me getting a new guitar. Non! Thanks God and mummy for the guitar. Ok, although I got the guitar with my savings, the fact that I've gotten approval from my mum means alot. There's SO much more God has blessed me with and I'm thankful for that too!

Lol??

I've been thinking to myself for quite a period of time this past couple of weeks. I don't have any friends that I can really count on. Yea, it's like there's no one whom I can really count on. And I know that I'm not the perfect friend either. I guess the only friend whom I can really count on is Jesus? Haha, and that's something I can always take comfort in.

Well, went to the doctor in the morning. Looks like my injury is a groin strain. Haha, anyway met Kenneth and Timothy at Isetan. The funny thing is I found this thing on my finger and I pulled it out. Turns out it was a corn and my hand just kept bleeding like mad, as in seriously like mad. For 40 minutes it was bleeding profusely. It was super painful. Anyway we went for this job briefing thing. It was quite lame. We were trying to find the Isetan office and were like totally lost. Well the briefing went pretty well. We're gonna earn $6.50 and hour for about 15 hours. Well, that's going to be my first time working so it's gonna be a new experience I guess?

Went to watch Bangkok Dangerous after that. I'm quite sure that to the others the show wasn't really that good but to me it was okay. I hardly find any movies that sucks badly except those horror/thriller stuff. I just don't like that genre. Home after that.

Haha

Today was a pretty fruitful day.

I remembered what I've learnt in church today. Oh yea, anyway I went church today. Met Kenneth and Timothy there. Well, I sort of remembered the 3 main points that were preached today.

1. Guard your heart
2. Train your character
3. Train your strength and stamina

Alot of things which the pastor preached really related to me directly today. When back straight after church for dinner today. Dinner was filling. Haha! Nothing else much to blog about though. See you soon?

Thank You

I remember once blogging that "I won't blog unless I do quiet time". You know ever since I've started doing quiet time again, my 'feel' to blog has came back again. To me it's pretty amazing.

Well, life has definitely not been a bed of roses recently but it hasn't been that bad. God has been faithful indeed. I've been putting in effort not trying to waste my time. Today I basically wasted half a day. Started watching 8 Simple Rules. Quite a funny show. In the evening played soccer with the Chua family and some of their cousins. My leg has become painful again!

Here's a story to tell. On the plane to Vietnam, I came across this show Californication. I watched it on the plane and it was really entertaining. So in Vietnam, I bought the DVD for that series. Eventually when I started watching it, I realise that this was the uncut version meaning that there is some nudity in the show. Back on the plane I watched the first episode and they really cut out alot of scenes as compared to the DVD. I really enjoy watching that show as the story is really nice and funny. The amount of nudity was like 1 minute for each episode and each episode lasts about 30 minutes. Anyway I kept watching till like the 7th episode and deep inside I felt really bad and that even if the nudity wasn't something that I was lusting over I shouldn't even be watching those kind of crap. I really felt the need to throw it away but as usual the flesh is weak. So I stopped watching since then but God sort of woke me up at 6am and I was really convicted to throw it away! And so I did. Amen! I really want to thank God for giving me the strength and wisdom to do so.

I'm gonna get a new guitar soon! And I've got about $600 to do so!! :) Seeya soon!

Yesterday my day was basically spent changing courses at Ngee Ann. Played pool with Jerome and his uncle for a short while before heading off to Ngee Ann for my interview. It went okay I guess, I mean I eventually got admitted to SoE but the interviewer brought me about to their labs and talked quite abit. Well, was supposed to go out after that but due to some unfortunate circumstances it was called off, so went to Jerome's house to slack. Went home after that.

Today, Justin returned me a PS3 game and we went to play pool after that. Pool was fun I guess. Went to VivoCity and walked around quite abit. I mean we walked and walked until like 5.20pm before I realised so much time has passed. Got some stuff from Candy Empire and Justin got a magazine too. Great catching up with him.

Anyway, please pray for me? I just came down with a flu and it's really pissing me off.

Thursday, September 18, 2008

Lol! Another day wasted? (I guess)

I really pray that God will take away all the bitterness from my heart towards people/events. It really feels super awful to feel bitter.

Anyway, went to Ngee Ann today to try to appeal to change course to Computer Engineering. Went for an interview in slippers cause I totally didn't know that there was supposed to be an interview today. Well, hopefully I get to make the switch. Anyway did I mention that my GPA is 2.2?? Congratulations to Jerome who attained a GPA of 3.3 too! The interview went not too bad.

Spent the rest of the day at home wasting my time.. At night went to Jerome's house and was supposed to go play pool with him, Eugene and his Uncle. In the end we didn't go so Jerome, Eugene and I played Dota. The 2 of them owned me. Well, then it was Winning Eleven with Eugene and I got beaten once again every since he found my 'weakness'. Anyway it's really fun playing Winning Eleven with him. Haha.

I've been doing quiet time again recently, I mean just conversing with God. Feels good just coming back to him. I know that if all else fails, I can always turn to him.

Vietnam!!

Just came back from Vietnam. A very meaningful trip indeed. Really had alot of fun and met lots of new people such as those on internship and some other workers there. I met this guy called Tom and he's a really really nice guy and Angel as well as she brought Eugene and I around town. Anyway, I'm going to miss every single one of them. Got to know Eugene better as a person as well. He's pretty quiet though.

Life in Vietnam was super fun. Driving buggies, playing soccer, messing around, playing Dota, SHOPPING. Shopping was great!! Bought so much stuff, shirts, shorts, DVDs, food. It's really fun shopping especially with people who enjoys shopping like Eugene. Jerome doesn't really like shopping though. Did I mention playing golf? My arms really ached because of that. We went to the gym too. Can't play soccer for 2 weeks though as my injury is pretty pain. I mean I can feel a slight pain when I walk. I'm quite sure it has gotten much worse than before. The last 2 days I talked to the internship people more and got to know them better. The food was super good, very high standard and very large in quantity. I'm quite sure I have put on some weight. There was internet there!! Cool ei??

But 1 thing I don't like about holidays is the end. It's always hard to say goodbye to the people you've met and just leaving the place was abit depressing. The resort had a great vibe and I really enjoyed it. The feeling there is much better than in Singapore. Felt pretty sad having to go back but well, it's always hard to say goodbye.

Jerome was and will always be great company during the trip. Talked quite alot during the entire trip and I'm quite sure we bonded? Yea, can't thank God enough for him. The seeds Uncle Bobby planted will flourish one day, I'm sure. It's just when it will. I'm really gonna try to recommit my life back to God and try to get my life back on track. In all I do, I have to seek God first. *Must remember*

There was sort of like a mini service there too by the way. Haha. it could have been more enriching if I had paid more attention though.

So basically I just wanna thank God for blessing me with such a great trip and such great company. (:

Cheers.
