get in tune with my life

ah well, another school year finished, report books are in. so here it is (drum roll now...)

eng - A2
chinese - C6
maths - A1
science - A1
geog - A2
hist - C5 (as earlier in the year)
lit - B4
D&T - A1
F&N - B3 (as earlier in the year)
Visual arts - B3

percentage - 69.6%
class position - 10/40
level position - 40/160
CIP award - gold

i really must thank God for this set of results. 'cause firstly, i passed my chinese with a GOOD C6 (where i thought i would get 50), my geography surprisingly did better than my literature and i only have 2 Cs! however, i knew i could have done better if i didn't slack so much. ah well, what is done is done...

praise the Lord for that anyway.

i wonder why every year seems to go faster and faster and faster and faster. it seemed like a minute ago that i stepped into KC and now i have already completed 2 years in KC. who knows, soon 'o' levels will come knocking at my door.

when i was looking at my CIP certificate, i wondering, i put so much time in CIP, but did i make enough time for God? i dun think it was enough. ok... new revolution, spend more time with God :)

class party tmr... well, leave u with a song...

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some better endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were, Lessons learned.

CHORUS:
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wonder how I get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for everytime,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads, I never should've taken,
Been some signs I shouldn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly, Some roads,
That I wish I could have one more chance to make,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were, Lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
All the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past, Cause it's gone,
And nothing's gotta go,
Because they are gone, Lessons learned.

get in tune with my life

yay, new blogskin :) byebye black, white and pink; hello shades of blue!

mon
end of year mass in sch. i was on photography duty with mdm gammar's beautiful 8-mega pixel digital SLR with 14-45 mm zoom lens. arggh! my dream cam! thats the benefit of joining Publications, you don't have to stone while the mass goes on, you can just go snap snapping away with a cam that you probably don't use everyday.
BBQ at chalet in pasir ris with uncle roland's cluster and family in the evening. yummy BANANA WITH MELTED MARSHMALLOWS AND CHOCOLATE *drool* *drool* with more marshmallows to toast. besides the eating, went blading with karen and sheryl along the deserted road outside the chalet, which was a slope. karen and sheryl can't brake in blades so i had to stop them by myself. however at that time, i only had the time to stop karen and didn't manage to save sheryl from banging into a car (thankfully, NOT a moving one) then, i spotted uncle tommy's 5.6-mega pixel digital SLR with 12-200mm zoom lens, arghh! another beauty! took several pics with it. it was GOOD man! had loads of fun anyway :)

today
uncle roland's cluster event. my dad insisted of bringing my bro's classical guitar, only to find out later in the morning that he had this daft idea to stum along with uncle tommy during worship (to think uncle tommy agreed!) as the space we had was quite big. just like that and i was dragged in with no choice. well...a lil last minute practice and i was ok(i played these songs before), i guess. uncle tommy later asked me whether i was in some band playing guitar, i was thinking 'nooo, what made u think like that? i have only played guitar for year plus with little guidance. in the first place, i only touch it when there is songs with nice guitar riffs and stuff like that to practice.' well...spent the rest of the afternoon taking care of little kids and doing my camp craft proposal, boring! cycled all the way back with my brother (he cycled to the chalet yesterday and today which makes 2 bicycles) there goes the speed again, for 3 km :) so fun.

well... report book is coming soon... eeks!!

get in tune with my life

deary me, another busy week gone. that's quick.

total results ain't in yet so ya, that will be another time. stayed back on tues, wed to plan guides camp (shh...) with my beloved seniors. what to know more?? haha... dun tell u...

mon, worship team practice. third time going there to look at the pianist on duty's fingers playing for most of the time. it was too coincidental that all the girls were sick *cough*and the guys were in the pink of health. played sing of your great love, i was like going like 'Emajor, 4 sharps, oh dear.' turned out to be ok, just got a little confused at the ending. starting to get used to playing with a band, yay :)

went ice skating again on fri again with my small group...whoohoo!! speeding time! taught mabel to ice skate...wow, fast learner! she was already skating off the wall! thoroughly enjoyed myself. then went to cell as usual.

hmm... thinking to change my blogskin soon since i'm free and all... there goes all that editing of HTML again...

get in tune with my life

this picture was taken by Kevin Carter in 1994 which is the Pulitzer prize winning photo.

it is a picture of a african baby crawling towards the sudan camp for food.

the vulture beside it is waiting for the poor child to die so that i can eat it up.

this picture shocked the world.

the photographer, Kevin Carter, fled the scene after taking the photo

3 months later, he comitted suiside due to depression.

yes, it really did.

mr jega showed this picture to the whole school during the free period today. there was a deadly silence in the hall. some were on the brink of crying, some tears fell off some cheeks, some cursed under their breath, the rest were merely speechless. i was speehless.

this picture made me reflect how fortunate we are and how God has blessed Singapore these years. we, in Singapore, have a proper drainage system, they don't even have a proper toilet; we have water that can be drunk from the tap, they savage for water; we have proper housing estates, they are living in horrible refugee camps. furthermore, we take our situation for granted and they are actually really grateful with what they have. i think Singaporeans have to be more grateful in what they have and not complain about the bad things in life. i mean, hey, life is not perfect, right?

sometimes, i think is the bad things that we are focusing on is what that makes our lives seem miserable.

get in tune with my life

WARNING: long post

best thing of all

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

too many things have happened in this whole month... i shall just summarise them...

Sep 15
ICE SKATING!! brought suzanne along to meet sheryl, dione, sheena and friends, crystal, tina, qian yi, eliz. the rink for the first time was resonably EMPTY :D whees!! speeding time. took quite a while to warm up. taught suz and eliz to skate. (suz, LEAVE THE WALL FOR GOODNESS SAKE. u know martial arts, surely they thought u how to FALL? anyway, everybody falls, including me) erm ya... i fell only once, dramatically, really dramatic. i was weaving through the crowd then i tried to stop using the T-break(i suck at stopping in ice skates), only to end up doing a little pirrouette(is that how u spell it?) and them landed on my bum. i even saw the pro people fall, which was way worse and painful then me. sometimes i wish that i could ice skate as fast as them... well, everything comes with a cost.

Sep 25
english exam...all the papers in one day. compo was reasonable. however, compre was a KILLER. God helped me like he always did :). the theme was politics and religion. I SUCK AT POLITICS. the first passage was abt Gandi and how his sayings and work affected the politics and the faith in India. the second passage was abt how s'pores' politcal situation will be affected if the religious harmony in s'pore is not maintained and how religious harmony is maintianed by ignorance of the knowledge of other religions. well, i feel that it is kind of true. we don't like to talk abt other peoples' religion that is different from ours, fearing the differences and disagreements we might discover. even i have quarelled with some people about it. religions talk about almost the same thing, good moral values. yes there is a common ground, however, i feel that christianity can be set apart from other religions (no, i'm not being inferior here, i'm just sharing my opinion). for me, i believe in God, 'cause its not just a religion, it is a relationship with God. you can just pray to Him any time of the day, knowing that he is always there with you, holding you up when you're down. you can also feel His presence, assured that everything would be ok. even though you're going through tough times, you know that He is just training you, helping you get stronger everyday, eventually making a way out for you. you can hear His voice and let Him speak to you if you let Him. well... He's just too real in my life that he just gotta be God.

Sep 26
CHINESE PAPER. arggh. my worst nightmare. i was telling myself I HAD BETTER PASS THIS TIME. God helped me alot this time, like he always did *wink* :) i wrote resonably long for me compo and letter writing. paper 2 was much better. went home and slept like a pig. my brain was officially dead for that day after the exam.

Sep 29
