Breathing in the Skylight HELLO YOU, I'M BLOGGING I'M BLOGGING! Okay LOL. It's been a real heavy week, and there's even more to come. Woohoo. But before I backtrack, guess who injured both knees, got one infected, and had a cyst in her eye AT THE SAME TIME. TA-DAH! ![]() I feel quite sorry for her, she missed service on saturday cause she couldn't make it out of the house! Okay anyway where was I. Oh yeah updates. Can't remember what I did last week sia. K let's start with Friday: LAST (I think) NPCC ACTIVITY OF THE YEAR (!) Went school early, etc etc etc. I laughed like some idiot siao kao when Wai Ting showed me the following: ![]() YOU SEE YOU SEE HA HA HA HA HA (LAUGH SOMEMORE) ![]() We had PT first but it was truncated. Ms Wan wanted us to prepare classrooms for teacher seminars. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think this picture is nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. ![]() Our whole unit. I think it's small but we're bonded I guess ;) ![]() ![]() BEST. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Super slack I think. Jeanette and I were sharing super super super sick jokes. FML ftw HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Oh and I told the unit the joke that Chooby told me about Ave's friend! Ave's friend was on her way to Malaysia when she needed to poop real badly. So her parents stopped halfway and passed her a plastic bag. The girl went to the bushes to do her business, after which she tied up the plastic bag and made her way back to the car. On her way back, while swinging the plastic bag of treasure, a snatch-thief grabbed it from a motorbike and sped off! Imagine the girl's stunned face when she was 'stolen' from. Haha. Imagine the thief's stunned face when he opens the bag. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ![]() ![]() ![]() Teaching Sec 1s hurricane lamp, orienteering, and revising knots. ![]() While ![]() helping ![]() Zheng Kai. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sec 2s doing drills. ![]() ![]() ![]() And when our "last activity of the year" was over, ![]() I MARVELLED AT OUR AWESOME NOTICEBOARD LOL. Yala yala credits to Wai Ting ;) ![]() (sweeps tears of masculine testament off my face) We packed up after that and bus-ed to Tampines for ... "I'M SO GOING TO SWENSENS!" Talked to Keck for reallllllll long. Really. I saw Jonathan Yong in Swensens, I PROMISE! Ate, scrutinized the fine downpour, chatted about random stuff, WAITED FOREVER FOR MY FOOD, home. And guess where I went for dinner on that same day. "I'M SO GOING TO SWENSENS!" (again) Classic. Home cell after that; Praise and Worship, asshole taiti, supper, amazing race, serious talk, etc etc etc. JERYL CAME!!! HA HA HA. Okay. Saturday. Dad fetched me to Shaw Tower but I got lost. Stranded for 20 minutes before walking out to the carpark, took a lift, came out, AND I SAW THIS: ![]() HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD HA HA HA HA HA HA. Changed into the SEC shirt and started helping out with the registration for schools. Convicted to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. 50% of the world's wealth is owned by the richest 2% of our global population. 80% of the world's resources is owned by 20% of the global population. Count Singapore as a developed country, and that means: Your lifestyle deprives 4 other people of their livelihood. "Even their life." - Shujing. We spend 12 times more on military expenses than on developing countries. If we maintain (not even increase) our current methane emissions, by 2050, 200 million of us will be climate refugees. 50% of a population is usually, in most countries, living in extreme poverty; while their homes are fenced beside modern revenue-generating industries. India generates enough food to feed the world but not enough to feed its own dying people. The world has a problem of having too much food. No, I'm serious. The distribution is that screwed. There were many other statistics too but beyond all the numbers, those are real souls out there. Every single seemingly-insignificant but important one. Q&A session after the movie proved primary school kids to be information sponges. No kidding, those numbers weren't their birthdays. ![]() All the green pledges! Some kid wrote "Don't lose my things" LOL. After the movie we had a talk with Joe before sending Ashley off to the mrt. Oh yeah! I was working with three other guys. Ashley who's just finished his NS. Wei Zhong who's in Nelson's course year 2! LOL small world. And some other guy who's also from TP ;) The three of us went around Ion before settling down to read. I breathed in my chinese origins. (shivers) Waved goodbye and mrt-ed to church! Rachael preached about mercy and compassion! (woah!) Jia En came! Really convicted to do something about that income gap and disparity in standard of living. I mean I'm just a kid, but I can do with the little things right? ;) Cell group. KEZZIE IS GOING TO ADOPT A CHILD! And if we steady with raising the child right, We'll start Kezzie Kondoms and give out cheap yet effective protections against unwanted pregnancies! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sunday, Heavy Message. Rushed about after service to settle Breakout accounts. Headache I tell you, we had extra money and I just can't remember who passed it to me!! Stressed for like 1 and a half hours before rushing to Project D. ![]() ![]() Shaunster playing with my phone camera while I was sorting out the accounts. Oh ya. I THOUGHT I LOST MY BAG AND I WAS SERIOUSLY QUITE PISSED. "Don't worry la I help you find." "It's not here la I already checked!!" "Did you check Lost and Found?" "There's a Lost and Found!?" (follows Nat down to the sound booth) TA-DAH WE FOUND IT! I felt dead tired LOL. Monday! "HELLO DANIEL YOU REACH ALREADY AH?" "Ya where are you DON'T TELL ME YOU STILL AT HOME." (hears her coarse morning voice) "ERM, NO?" Went to church and waited forever till we bus-ed to Beach Road. We all got lost, classic. Shopped for Breakout and Ascension stuff. Oh! And the coolest was the flag, we found this wulu building, escalated to this wulu floor and walked about to this wulu shop. Heaved a sigh of relief, cabbed back to church with the guys, home. Tuesday, met up with Breakout group to get that flag done. ![]() Amanda is pro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() I DID THIS. And it looks like that BECAUSE. I USED PAINT INSTEAD OF PERMANENT MARKER. AND CAUSE FAITHE SCARED ME. "Eh why you write salt of the light!" "Eh why you write GoQ!" ![]() NICE RIGHT! ![]() ![]() ![]() I GOT HELP PAINT THIS! ![]() SIBEI SUI RIGHT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ![]() Avelene's almost-done flag. ![]() ![]() Faithe's one looks like it was printed! IDIOT PERMANENT MARKER. ![]() Left church to go Tampines Mall with Serene. She taught me how to eat Shaker Fries LOL. Went around tm and cs to shop for Breakout group identities. Yesterday. Joey's house for Chem project. Alot of things, lazy update already ha ha ha. In conclusion to this post: I'm sorry Group 1 for not going today. If any of you happen to be reading this ......................... Ahhh, I'm really sorry sorry sorry k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k. I've a million things to finish by today. #&@*(#@&!*! Cayson's getting his results today, confirm get more than 260 lor (zzz) Dad's birthday is tomorrow. Coleni supposed to be coming this Saturday (better not back out I tell you HAHAHA) In all circumstances, Praise God! :D Labels: English Chemistry Physics by today by faith. Wednesday, November 18 She knows how to treat a brother right/. HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So how've you been? (LOL ok nvm.) Hmmm so today I'll (finally) be updating on the past week. K let's start. (11/11-17/11): Internship at ... Day 1 of Internship; 11/1 - Wednesday Took like half an hour to find the place amidst the other buildings in NUS k! Enzo was like half an hour late and I tried finding him under the blazing hot sun. So yeah we reported for work soaked in perspiration, and late on the first day. The good news: The supervisor was even later than us LOL.
All done! After that, we got down to office work. Data entry of name cards and companies' information. More data entry, nibbled on snacks to keep me awake. Some of the phone operators were pleasant and they made my day. OTHERS AH. "Hello, my name is Daniel Foo from the Snigapore Environment Council ... " .............................................. And there are plenty more stories! Rude ah. Bus-ed to Paya Lebar with Enzo. Day 3 of Internship; 13/11 - Friday Continued to do data entry and calling up of companies. After work, parents fetched Enzo to the bus stop and me up for dinner.
Praise and Worship, testimonies, etc. Talked about loads of stuff, played blind mice, had awesome awesome supper, watched The Amazing Race. Fetched a newcomer home, etc. Now for Saturday. GoP FIESTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9 salvations! Praise God! :D I can't remember the last time post-party was so ... elaborate. Washed off the 'makeup' cause it really got to my face. Went for Sunday Service the next day and spent time with Home Cell people. Who knew menstrual blood and sperms could help make the face smoother! K NVM. Anyway.
The usual - data entry and calling up of companies. Okay la, got twitter and facebook also LOL. But everyone else was doing it too, so I figured, wthheck right. Then at about 10 or 11, colleague Andrew invited me to help the company in a seminar that afternoon. Cabbed to SPRING Singapore with Andrew and Grace while Joe motorcycled there. The talks were really informative and refreshing, though a tad boring. This company SolidWorks specialises in designing products, making them more green! They dropped me off at Redhill, after which I mrt-ed to Tampines for ... Blah idk why I can only find this lousy-quality picture on the internet. Ohwell. Thumbs up to the special effects by the way! Worth the money. But I guess, And to justify how late she was, And THEN, we headed home ;)
Reached home quite late ...... I think. Day 5 (Last Day) of Internship; 17/11 - Tuesday Then there was one time when I went into the restroom that I decided to camwhore one final time. Ok nvm ha ha ha. Esther, Grace, and one more colleague brought me out for french! Walked forever till we reached this little french bistro. Esther paid for my sirloin steak w/gratin & salad! For such a delicious meal. $13.50 was really worth it! Oh plus $3.00 for soup which was also really good ha ha. Toy shops, collector items, colossal legos rated 16++, a religiously confused shop (they sell both buddha-imprinted incense and bible-versed items!?), a christmas delicacies shop (AHH!), and a gaming shop (where I found Left 4 Dead 2!!). Grace gave me some of what she bought from the Christmas shop! Yum ha ha. Bus-ed to Little India, and then mrt-ed to Bugis to meet mum. K now for yesterday. Left house at 6 to meet Chooby and Melody. "HELLO? WHERE ARE YOU CHOOBY!?!?" Met up with Marvin, Angie, Ben Peh, Marvin, Leonard, Kenny, Regine, Zac. Played till about 9plus before parents fetched me home ;) Okay, now for some overdue pics since ... last month!? EEW I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT IN THE LAST PICTURE! Okay nvm, ha ha ha. I remember taking these pictures with Xinyi's phone! Cause mine just broke down HAHAHA. And we put one of them as her wallpaper, bet she still keeps it there :D Righttttttt. That's all for updates! (phew) Thank God for being sooooo faithful, making this past week a truly blessed one. He's so powerful yet loving at the same time. Everybody get up, it's time to praise Him! Heeeeee. p.s. Why my last tag like 9 nov LOL Labels: All the heavens sing. Sunday, November 15 STARTING THIS POST WITH ... PRAISE THE LORD! :) There were 9 salvations yesterday! Hahaha. And Sherrilyn (sp?) plus Soo Kai came LOL. The latter you gotta admit, is surprising news. Oh and forgot to mention, I finally got a new phone!! Samsung Pixon ;) 8 megapixels but file sizes are wayyyy too huge. Still, praise God! Really realised that there're so many things to thank Him for if we really look. Have been camwhorring with my new phone. Okay that was random. And so is most of my blog. So whattheheck, let's go on with it. I love wearing v-necks. I bet Nat's jealous despite whatever appellations he attacks me with. Nothing to show with my cleavage, but ahwell that's human for you. Showing off what we don't have. Spent today reading selective stories from A Sense of Belonging. Amazing how human nature is. There's this particular story, Flowers for Algernon. Initially I thought it was going to be a bother deciphering the gibberish in front. But the sober plot was deeply captivating. Oddly enough, the character transformation was dramatic and almost exaggerated. Genius, yes he was. And in the midst of it all, he lost the child-like innocence he once harbored. Ignorance is bliss; some of you might know I'm referring to the apple crumble on Saturday night. Mockery at its most unadulterated sense, is truly despicable. And after the story, after the conclusion, the symbolism of Algernon, the cyclic transition of character, the simplistic and profound meanings juxtaposed ............................... I suddenly sprouted a deep identification with Charlie. I remembered during the school term that ended not less than three weeks ago, when I would complain and sometimes get abit frustrated with God. Why I was always lagging behind in class, why I was always the slower one. Why I always had to work harder and stay up later than some of the rest just to catch up. Why I just don't understand stuffz. I hated that. I still do. But now that I think about it, I remember that we are all made in God's image. God is such a brilliant God, His thought of us outnumber the very grains of sand. No greater love than that, I could bet my life on it. "All my failings surely would have drowned me.". Takes someone more than just sober to comprehend the true meaning of that statement. It seems like forever since I lasted posted something so introspective yet God-conscious at the same time. Yet I'll press on. "I remember how You saw me, through the eyes of Your grace." "And though the cost was Your beloved for me, still You made a way." Jesus my freedom, The reason. Felt like years ago since I last truly forgot all the fancy music and visual effects, Since I really wanted God so badly. Since I prayed for a fervent one hour straight, before hitting slumberland. Could I have been so caught up with the world and all the adult activities that I've forgotten child-like faith? Just like the Charlie. Not Charles. I usually if not always shrug off paranoia with laughter and gleams. And still I can't stop feeling that someone somewhere is stabbing me at the back. The identification scorches as Charlie reciprocates weakly to his friends. The very same few who humiliate him. To everyone else, politics could be a mature game only fit for the competent. Hey then let me be the first to declare: I quit simply because I don't qualify. Don't get me wrong, it's not just in the office or in school. It happens in places where people believe to find faith, hope, and love. Why, God. Why. And then Shujing mentioned on Saturday, We're all still learning. I figured, hey that explains alot. But shouldn't there be a minimal standard. And I'm probably offending quite alot of people right now while writing this post. Not that many people tag, but from hearsay I apparently have a gamut of consistent readers. Thank you by the way. Though the tagboard would be a nice place to leave a signature. Went out with Leonard on Monday. Started internship with Enzo on Wednesday. Home cell on Friday. Blind mice. GoP Fiesta on Saturday, hung out with Nat, Sherrilyn and Soo Kai. Went for Sunday service this morning, lunched with home cell. Conversation with Le Sze, Nat, and Alex about menstrual blood and sperms being effective facial products. LOL WTHHECK. I feel a tad melancholic today. That's not very healthy. I know I sound like some overly-introspective loser. But who cares. O levels are next year. Somehow that doesn't bother me as much as it used to. Why ah. I suspect I'm slowly losing my sanity, credits to the plethora of life's worries. Clinging precariously on God, and a few pillars of spiritual support. Recently I've been brought back to my first few encounters prior to 2007's rededication. Well, the memories at least. I keep reminding myself that I need to adopt a new wineskin for new annointing and blessings. But somehow the old ones seem to be the best so far. God I pray for a fresh new revelation of You. I seriously believe that we all have been taking God for granted. Too much. Then the worst part of the story is that I acknowledge my guilt but repentance never occures. No point praying and reading the bible if I don't give God my total, undivided focus. No point doing something pious, something religious. Spirituality is key; not the former. "The very thing that you are facing now, God specially wants you to go through and experience." - Uncle Roland during my baptism last August. Slash the "are facing now" and replace it with "face". I know God is not done with me. And Satan cannot cannot cannot throw dirt on something God is not done with yet. If you're reading this post and the Christian chunk of it throws you off, I apologize. But if you're reading this post and you somehow identify, I urge you to join me in prayer, to not just finish running this race; But also making it the real experience of our lifetime. Galations 5:13 "The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbour as yourself." I apparently am not a model testimony to this. But yes. I am learning. God, to You, really be all the glory. Beyond all the pretense, I pray for a bona fide hunger and dissatisfaction. Because. You first loved us. Labels: Blu-ray. I sense an incipient epidemic. BREAKOUT. Monday, November 9 I don't usually post more than once a day. Even if I have something to say, I'll leave it for another day. But I was looking through my '08 posts, and I realised I've changed. I've changed quite alot. I want to look to God first no matter what happens. I want to blog testimonies every single time I get online. I want to be so spiritually on fire. I want to have unwavering faith. I want to be always happy. Even if I get irritating. Well, now things are going to change. Starting from now. :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Labels: There's church everyday (hyperventilates) Keeping Me Alive/. Headed to church on Wednesday for the last GoP prayer meeting of the year (sob!) Even though it's just for one week, c'mon it rocks right! Hahaha. Spent Thursday cleaning up the house. Friday was cca, jap dinner with parents at city hall, and a rented Night at the Museum 2. Woke up early on Saturday for Open House. Realised that I knew nuts about what I had to do as a tour guide. Found out that I had SS homework due the day before. &#(!(@)!#*^! Left Open House for a short catch-up with part-time Jez, and then GoP service!!!!!!! :) Jia En came! (adds smileys all over) Unbelievable k, there was like altarcall during Worship AND after announcements. Lasted until sermon only had about 15 mins LOL. Got things straightened out, and I'm gonna be so fixed on God. Gonna keep pressing on and seeking His purposes. I remember in Sec 1 when I was in the pit of like depression and suicide, it was God that showed me His unfailing love. ................................................. Then by Sec 2 start of 2008, I had been in Emmanuel for 2 months. That was the year when I received mega-revelations, when I matured spiritually very very fast. When I received the gift of tongues, when I started taking up leadership roles. Now 2009's coming to a close. It's sad to say, but spiritual progress has been retarding. I need a NEW annointing, new touch, new revelation of Jesus Christ. That. Would take alot more conviction than I have right now.
Sunday was service, cell bonding, Social Studies, and CHANGE Conference. It was a day I'll (ahem) never forget ;) Very, very, shocking news. CHANGE was revoluntionary. All the church leaders coming together and praying ... wow k. I sang praise and worship in Chinese!! HAHAHA. AS ONE! MEGAAAA overdue Kezzie photo uploaded by Lizzie ;) Oh and you know what I feel like doing. Idiot right HAHAHA. Gonna study with Leonard and Joanna later. BY THE WAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEONARD!!!!!! (9/11) Oh and just for the record, PLEASE.DO.NOT.THINK.I.AM.ATTACHED. Because I'm not! Don't anyhow malign and spread rumours k! Hahaha damaging ah! K gotta go now. PLEASE TAGGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!! Labels: Spiritual persistence. Wednesday, November 4 Linda Poh/. A new beginning baby. God has His plans. Monday/. Me: "Hello?" Marvin: "Eh Daniel, wanna go play lan?" Me: "I thought today going out with Linda?" Marvin: "Oh. She want to play lan." Met Odette and Marcus Xiong at Katong for dinner first. Le Sze and May came over, before Linda and Esther. Esther: "I never come this place before!! I only come Katong cut hair!" Me: "Eh you want bubble tea?" Esther: "No!! I don't drink bubble tea." Me: "WHAT??" Esther: "I never drink before!!" And you know what. She wasn't kidding. Alex, Joash .............. and other people came too. I remember there were like 12 GoPers there LOL. And another group of YA people came afterwards (!?) OUR CHURCH DOMINATED THE PLACE HAHAHA. Esther killed alot of people wthheck!? Linda hates Boomer, now I know. I improved!! HAHAHA. Joash and I, only two left, had to constantly revive each other. I WAS A TANK. Played until like 10pm LOL. L4D FTW!! ;) Tuesday/. Went to school for pump but in the end left halfway for harbourfront. Le Sze, Ben Peh, Sean Lee, Coral. Went around Vivo, lunched at Burger King, para-ed with Sean, wore Le Sze's jacket ... zzz k. Sent Linda off ................................................ Blah. I'd write a million word essay for her but, nah this post is just for you k ;) Love you, thanks for everything! Labels: WHY MY LAST TAG IS LIKE ... 31 OCT. LOL. |
