This is life

2009-04-10T20:55:00.001+08:00

Woah, it's already April! I didn't post for march! Haha. Well, I guess I'm oblidged to post, even for the few who still visit this dying blog. My blog traffic has practically went down the toilet.

Anyway, with Wei bin saying I'm crapping, on to the serious stuff.

Good friday service just ended. It was really great. I finally fufilled my dream of having an Acsi gang! W00ts.

Now Wei bin walks away.

And now he walks back and walks away again.

Anyway, I also shared my testimony with my parents today it was really powerful. Another dream finished, getting my parents saved and planted.

And lastly, I got baptized today. Haha, it was a great experience. When pastor prayed for me, there was just this feeling of liberation. I now have more drive to draw closer to God. Yeah, it was great.

Oh and now for stuff outside today. I got promotes to a potential team leader! It was in a 3 hour long meeting with pastors. Of was amazing to see how pastors' minds worked.

I'm on church now, and even at this time, it is still buzzing with activity. This is truly the place where friendships are built.

I think I'll go play captains ball now, see you!

2009-02-24T20:02:00.003+08:00

Well, I've been putting this off for really really long. But I'm actually going to post.

Man, I'm typing on my TOSHIBA....

I don't hate people, I don't hate animals, I only hate this horrible piece of COMPUTING CRAP!!!

Come on, 17 more days of this horror. 17 more days till the IT fair, 17 more days to a MacBook.

It's going to be a long 17 days.

Anyway, life's been great this past month

Growing in ministry, pastorally, spiritually.

I have one really short term vision: To be more independent.

It's mostly to spend at least 5 hours with God every week. It's kind of hard. Haha. But I will do it.

Hmmm, notable events.....

I graduated from Pastoral AMT B

Lynette talking about NSKs in AMT B! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Cam 5 duty on the 22nd was awesome. Ha Josh, I told you there were lots of shots for cam 5! Only if Soo Yee would actually let me bring home to watch what I did.

Common Tests are over!

Heartfest 09 was awesome!

Haha, too lazy to put anything remotely interesting to read today.

I'm back!

2009-01-23T20:23:00.001+08:00

The first post of the year so late. I'm really sorry to the people who actually read this. (I seriously wonders who does). Well, it's been a few long weeks. School has been as usual school. Not much to talk about without getting a few demerit points. I'm typing from my iPod now, and it's surprisingly easy. I'm on the train going home.

I'm listening to "Mark II" ironman soundtrack on my iPod using the Genius feature. 48 hours ago, I would be in melacca most probably eating a horrible dinner. Why was I in melacca? It was an overseas education programme. I think I'll rant a little on that soon.

I really hope I'm not boring you with this. I'm feeling that I really need to rise up this season. I'm in 3 ministries, hopefuly I'm not overstretching myself. Exams are drawing near. Welcome studying till 2am. Art projects are due soon. It's going to be a long weekend.

Ah Final Fantasy X's "To Zanarkand". Thank you Apple for the Genius feature.

Ah the lovely sound of a piano. It's heavenly. So pure, so simple.

Ah, it seems I keep jumping from subject to subject. When will my posts get organized.

My birthday just paased, Valerie mailed me a card, my friend's bought me a shirt, the Live Feed ministry texted me, my CG's planning something, I'm blown away.

I long for God, I long for His presence.

Fire fall down, on us we pray.

Let our hearts burn with a flame, a consuming fire for Your Son's holy name.

30december?

2008-12-30T11:51:00.001+08:00

Well, it seems like it's already the 30th of december, it's time for my usual reflection about the year post. I'm in jurong library now, just making some use of time before I go for a new generation meeting with acs barker.

It's been a short year of insane growth. it feels like only yesterday I was stepping into acs I for the first time. In a few days, I'll be 14, I'll be sec 2. This year has been an exciting year. Met new people, discovered new games, got a mac, found a vision, entered into Bmt, amt, usher, live feed, new generation, cg admin, leader of a few, growth spiritually, L1R5 of 6, zone f going downstairs, Yishun satellite church, parents getting saved, so many things, 2008 has been a good year.

I bring a few things and a lot of responsibilities into 2009. Firstly, my vision to be the zone f live feed head and leader of 30 by end 2010, the conviction to have more fear of the Lord and burden of taking my school. So many responsibilities I won't bother naming.

One of the most important things is the fear of the Lord. I rather live in fear than live in sin. I want to broken for Him, for his cause, I want be lead by faith, if not driven by fear.

Break me down

To my knees

Break me down

The best of You is the best of me.

See the world down on her knees

Shine Your light!

I see the city as a man, bent his knees to lift his hands, closed his eyes and prayed your prayer

It's going to be a great year. Do it with great atitude.

Hey guys,
Sorry for the long wait for a post. Even though it's the holidays I'm still really really busy. Now I'm in church waiting for Jing hong to discuss the live feed outing with her. When I get home I'll give you my usual long post but for now just settle for these updates. Firstly, the asia conference is over! It was an awesome 4 nights there! We also has ccc down for the combined service!
I also went to help out in the children church camp! (I have a bad feeling that I'm using too many exclamation marks) the children are so powerful at such a young age. It's amazing! Mae ann is doing a great job.
A satellite church is opening at yishun!
Haha I have to go now
Will post soon!

Quality Blogging

2008-11-24T01:40:00.003+08:00

Ah, the infantile posts of blogs everywhere. In nearly half the posts I read are some boring personal recount of their day. You know what, unless you write like JK Rowling, Eoin Colfer, Ken Akamatsu, Dan Brown or some other author, its boring as crap. I'm not saying your life is boring. I'm just saying that whenever I read your blog, I want to read something with more depth, something which you put thought into. For example, read Marcus' blog, full of poetry, (with the exception of a boring post). Please, put in some thinking, some personal feelings, deeper than

someone jio me out tmr siolz . i'm gonna be stuck at hm w/ nthn t do ):
hmmm .. tuesday going moooooooooooooooooooovie ;P

hmmmmm .. i dint really do much tdy
was playing guitar .

Please, if this is your blog, and you notice it, don't kill me.
If you want to post something short, at least add some thoughts. Seriously. Or if you want to post something short, at least make it impactful. I read enough personal recounts at school.

Another thing, use at least readable English!!!!!
It's so irritating when people type in short form!!!!
I'm ok with the occasional hse or smt.

But not the whole damn post!!!!
And, please at least try to use capital letters and punctuation.

Me sleepy now.

My heart aches.

2008-11-23T19:01:00.002+08:00

My heart aches...

My heart yearns.

Damn you puberty.

Sometimes, I hate bloody puberty.

I'm becoming irritatingly self-conscious in front of people especially members of the opposite gender. Its bloody irritating. I'm feeling so insecure sometimes. Argh! Puberty is one of the dumbest things ever.

But, on the other hand, girls are well, how do I put it. You could say there is nothing that melts my heart like a cute girl walking towards me and waving at me.

Arrgghhh! There's the puberty acting up again.

The word puberty sounds vulgar and crude somehow.

I don't know man. I'm just trying to focus on my vision.

I guess that's what happens when you read Love Hina when you're 11.

My heart wrenches when I see her.

Arrgh, puberty.

Relax, no BGR till like when I'm ready. haha. Most likely at 20 or something.

Must control hormones!

Hey my readers,

for some strange reason, the hits keep going up even though I don't post regularly. The last itme I saw it was only about 3k hits. Now it's doubled to 6.5k. Who visits this place?

Hmmm.... People on Deviantart really are talented.

Was scrolling through Deviantart, searching for some Final fantasy stuff. Came across some beautiful shots.

Yeah, this is Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2.

Went to Kenn's house yesterday. He has a great house. It feels so homely there. And thanks to him, now I have Metallica and Led Zeppelin. Also have some Final Fantasy Soundtracks. (I know I haven't played the game but heck) Listening to Jump In The Fire by Metallica. Lets change it to something more calming.

Ah. To Zanarkand. Final Fantasy X Piano Collections. Be

autiful piece of music. I could just put it on repeat and listen to it for the entire day.

Well some updates about my life. This blog will not die.....yet....

Made a new F2 wallpaper

Like it? Go to http://bor3ds0ul.deviantart.com/art/F2-Wallpaper-103347525 to download it.

Woah, the power packed weekend was really power packed.

Monday had me going for the CHC morning prayer in church at 6.45am and skipping the St John SANA course. Also calling a lot of people for Nick Vuijicic.

Tuesday had me going for the prayer meeting in the morning at 6.45 again. Then slacked in church and practiced for Cam 4 while waiting for Nick Vujicic service. Can't be complacent any more after getting discipled by Soo Yee. Soo Yee can be very scary. Before service, we went for a LAN outing with Dilan's friends. Isaac is really good at CS. He plays too much Wolf team. Bloody AWPer. Nick Vujicic service later was awesome! Got a free T-Shirt and DVD! Awesome! Bought a shirt for Wayne.

Wedensday was most of the same, went for morning prayer meeting,

practiced with Cam 4 more and played with Marcus' new laptop. Service was even more awesome. My Dad got saved that day! Finally after months of prayer, he got saved. The circumstances are really just God. He had a really improtant meeting that he was supposed to attend on that day but his secretary just said he didn't need to attend. The week before, he went for a reunion dinner with his ex-classmates and two of them just kept talking to him about Christ. Then he told God if the worship team played Amazing Grace, he would accept Christ. And on that day, they did!

On Thursday, I relaxed a bit and just rested at home for the day.

On Friday, I went for Pastore Kong's service. Was on Cam 4. Service was great. We really took the service and brought it to a whole new level. The Live Feed ministry is not going to repeat history!

Saturday was on Usher for Pastor Kong's service. Really fun.

Sunday was finally part of the congregation during the service. Praise and worship was really annointed even though I was really tired. Pst Kong's sermon was impactful.

And on Monday, a group of Zone F and some Children Church people went to North View Primary school to reach out to them. I was really fun talking to the P6ers. It was like a mini-heartfest! I'm excited for the BBQ on friday.

Haha typed so long. just one last pic!

KAWAII!

2008-10-18T22:51:00.004+08:00

Some random pictures from Live Feed.

Could it be, that you're in control.

2008-10-18T22:48:00.002+08:00

Finally,
I've stopped procrastinating enough to type you a beautiful, deep and thoughtful post.

Could it be,
that You're in control
Now I see,
I don't know it all

My results are out, and what I've seen is nothing short of a miracle. I have 6 A1s, 2 A2s and 1 B3.

This is a miracle.

If you've seen what I've been doing during the exam period and my results are truly a miracle.

During the pre exam period, I've been coming to church for all three services, never compromising. I've served actively in ministry, came on crew for both live feed and usher (I have no idea how I got there.) I remember the day before the exams, I was doing live feed duty. Even before the exams, I was still convicted to go three services a week plus connect group. Even with going through all this, I can still achieve this kind of results. It is not through my might, but God's power. Through God's power, I was able to study till 2am every night before the exams. Through God's power, I was able to rise up in leadership even through the exams.

I just think that this entire season is to build faith in me. Faith that I can do it. Faith that through God all things are possible. Faith for the revival. Confidence in my abilities. Faith in my capacity. I've learnt to lean on the Lord and just depend on Him. Have faith in him. Not to rely on myself anymore.

This entire season, I've grown
Through the mugging season, I've still grown spiritually.

Glory,
All that has breath give him
Glory

There goes the holidays

2008-09-07T22:20:00.001+08:00

How majestic is Your name

How wondrous is Your grace

You're my shelter from the storm

My redeemer and my God

You bring comfort to my soul.

Its amazing sometimes how God speaks to you.

While walking home one day with a piece of pvc cardboard on my hands, I wondered about flight theory. I just causally asked God to show me how flight theory works and how it applies. After a few minutes of playing with pvc, I just felt the Holy Spirit give me understanding on how a basic aerofoil works.

Reading the Bible, I stumble on a hard verse, I ask again, and it is revealed.

Ask and you shall receive.

Ok meandering around abit.

Term 3 vacation is gone.

Here's a quick look at what I did.

Monday: Zone F Heart to Heart Chalet.

Tuesday: Robotics training

Wednesday : Training

Thursday: Heartfest 08

Friday: NJRC

Saturday: Study and service

Sunday: Service, bought two books by Pst Joakim Lundqvist.

You and your Bible

Reaching the schools for Jesus.

Well, there goes my holiday.

Pst Joakim is a really good author. He includes everything a teen could need to know their Bible!!

Well, back to reading

My heart is exceedingly sorrowful.

2008-09-06T22:42:00.003+08:00

I know it's a little weird to have such an emo title. But, my heart just is.

Just during service today, I suddenly thought of the people from Pei Hwa I didn't bring to church.

Hekai

En Quan

Valerie

Benjamin

Keisha

Joan

There are so many, I can't remember. I can remember En Quan crying, I can see it, from 2 years ago, I can still see it so vividly. I was a jerk before coming to church. I remember it now. Jerk to my cousins, friends and En Quan. My heart is remorseful. Never again, will I hurt people to the point of crying

I can see Keisha sitting across the aisle in math, lending me a stapler.

I can see Joan hitting me.

I can see Valerie chatting with me as I waited for people outside school.

I can see Benjamin laughing at his birthday party 4 years ago.

I can see Hekai talking to me about Halo as we walked down the steps.

I can see them all. Why didn't I reach out to them, why didn't I bring them to church. Why? Why? The question rings in my head. The sin of omission. I should have, I should have. All of them should be standing beside me in Zone F service, praying next to me in prayer meeting.

All of them should be saved.

Never again....

Never again will I repeat that mistake

My heart is exceedingly sorrowful, even till death. It is mournful towards the lost.

Family:

Hermann, Brian, Ronald, Astro, Terance,

Sorry for being a jerk to you all.

You will get saved.

All those unsaved in ACS (I)

Lee Meng

Jing Kang

Cheesue

Tae Joon

(Not a long list)

Rivik

You will get saved!

Still mournful yet full of faith now

Camp switching

2008-09-05T00:14:00.002+08:00

Ok,....

I've switched camps.

I've gone to the mac side of the world. I can't believe i stuck to windows for so long.

I just got an iMac.

Specs:

20 inch screen

2.66 GHZ (Woots)

4gb RAM (w00ts)

250gb hard disk (not so w00ts, wanted more, some people don't understand my ravenous desire for space)

Mac OSX Leopard (tank LOL): Start up time : Roughly 20s

Shut Down: 10s

Windows Vista: Start up : 45s - 1min

Shut down: 30s

Mac seems unnaturally fast. And the lovely 20 inch screen.... ahhhhh.... computing paradise.

I first fell in love with mac while using for photoshop in computer studies lesson. Photoshop was lag-free.... amazing......

All my arguments are gone.

Lack of games - no problem install XP with the lovely boot camp.

Graphics Card: No problem, ATI Radeon

Speakers: Lovely built in speakers.

Price: COMEX 08!

Compatibility: So many mac apps, what's the problem

User - friendliness: How did I have a problem with that in the first place?

Ahhh.... Bliss.

Game performance

HL2 ep2 runs on near full graphics, just with shadows turned down for framerate.

Trackmania united forever the same, just shadowing

Command and Conquer 3 mid- high

Company of heroes mid -high

Front Row runs so much faster that the windows equivalent.

iWork 08 pwns Microsoft Office upside down

Brilliant! What took me so long?

Your Glory Goes Beyond All Praise

2008-08-29T11:56:00.007+08:00

Okay, to the Hekai who keeps telling me to update, I finally am. But, today its not going to be the BGR post. Haha wait a little longer. At the science centre now, Robotics competition, can't go back to Pei Hwa, sian.

Back on to business, today's post is going to be about one of the greatest things to see on Earth. A person's soul getting saved. Looking at the weekly attendance for church every Tuesday. Seeing the number of salvations every week. Seeing the guy in front of you raise his hand during the altar call. And just crying tears of joy as he prays the sinners prayer. Seeing the church grow week after week slowly and slowly. Seeing people go into the kingdom of heaven. That is the church. This is amazing times, amazing times indeed. This is the time of revival, this is the time where the world is turned upside down. We are history makers and world changers.

BGR post soon.
I feel like VALVe now, delaying posts like they delay games

Damn Imbaness - Shahdan

A taste of the past

2008-08-15T06:21:00.003+08:00

Hekai, why have you betrayed me,
you blasphemer, you heretic, you who lost faith in this.
Ahahaha. Just kidding. He wrongly stated this blog was dead.
"How did you not know this was all part of my plan?!" - Kane (Command and Conquer 3)
Woke up at 5.30am today to pray and worship.
So refreshing.
Math paper today, I should be able to do well, because of God. Not through my strength but by Your might.

So as I checked my email, I decided to look into some of the old folders to decide whether I should clear them.
A shock awaited me.
As I looked through those folders, I found emails from as far back as Primary three, when I first opened my account. I thought all those emails had been deleted. I have emails from my days as a Nazi. I have emails from Sheng Chun, who you know, Shermane, you also know (implying something here) When Benjamin and I were good friends. Haiz... I miss Ben. Miss his spunk, miss his sarcasm, miss even the teasing.

Its amazing how God could use me back then. An insecure, crush filled, young, immature, 12-year old boy. Its amazing how God can use me to reach out. Now, after a year and a half of following Christ, I'm a different man. Now, a secure, mature (somewhat) young man. I don't need crushes or girlfriends yet. The love of Christ Jesus is enough now.

Master,
Mission,
Mate.

Yes this is a build up to my BGR post. As Pastor Joakim Lundqvist said, your mate should be found while on your walk with God. You'll see someone else walking next to you, at the same pace. Then you say,"Hey." Hahaha. Pastor Joakim is so funny. Swede. But he is right, don't actively look for a girlfriend, find her while walking with God. Pastor How says this, get a mate three years before you plan to get married. If you get one 10 years before, say 14, by 24 when you marry her, you already sian of her face, haha.

School now, 6.40am. Still hungry after breakfast.
BGR post soon!

He is mighty to save

2008-08-03T23:52:00.008+08:00

Ah, how time flies. Its now the fourth of August.

In January, I prayed a short prayer for Ren Hao to come back to Singapore. Just that one short, simple prayer.
5 months later, he came back, for good. That was not the only miracle, after he came back, began a season of fervent prayer for him to come back to church.
Academic Excellence weekend came. Even after 2 months of failures, after passing him the Genesis of a Genius sermon Cd and the Connect magazine, he stepped into Heart of God Church for the third time.
We had moved mountains. By we I mean God. The mountain of parental objection was moved and he could come.
That day was better than how I dreamed it in the fourth dimension. God had answered.

Ephesians 3:20 (New King James Version)

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

God did exceedingly abundantly above all that I asked or thought. On that day, he worshiped like he had been in church for years, he praised God with zeal and excitement. His heart was so open. He responded during the Altar Call. In January, I didn't even dream that he would be back so quickly. Ren Hao's name has been added to the book of life, welcome to the eternal family open to all. This is a God that answers prayers.

Saviour

He can move the mountains,

My God is mighty to save,

He is mighty to save,

Forever,

Author of Salvation

He rose and conquered the grave,

Jesus conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see

Singing for the glory of the risen King

Jesus

I have this vision for everyone who steps into this church.
No matter what skills you have
How little you have to offer
You have the potential
through God to be a
LEADER OF HUNDREDS,
IN A CHURCH GROWING TO THE THOUSANDS

Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version)

13 I can do all things through Christ^[a] who strengthens me.

Oh, and by the way, Festival of Praise was awesome. Too bad for those who missed it.

THIS BLOG IS A MEGAPHONE FOR GOD

I will do a BGR post soon. Going to rant about it.

So tired, still walking.

"Even when completely covered in mud, you must keep moving forward" Evangeline A.K Macdowell, Negima.

Isaiah 40:31 (New King James Version)

But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Kinda cool quotes.

I have to lean on the Lord.

Can sleep at 2 and wake up at 6. haha.

Well, after a discussion with Wayne for a quarter of an hour (would be longer if he wasn't busy, I'm here posting.

I really thank God for Wayne, my leader.

He relates to me on so many levels. Such a wonderful leader. Been really communicating with him a lot. Being discipled so much, having my character forged and being put through the refining fire. Its wonderful to communicate with your leader so much. Been talking to him for half an hour daily. Amazing!

Been learning and growing so much

June holidays have come and gone, Strongholds are being broken. People are getting saved. The world is changing. Lives are changing.

This June, been really really busy. Was sick the entire first week so missed Zone F camp. Second week had BMT and Red Rain outings. Third week the same, getting discipled and graduated from BMT. Discipleship was intense. Really got out of my comfort zone. Inspired by Pastor Joakim's school seminar, caught the fire to go out to make some noise, love people and get them saved! I was convicted. I hadn't been loving people enough. I hadn't left my comfort zone to get people saved. What other point is there to life than to change others and adding to the Kingdom of Heaven. The great commission. Now, going out of my comfort zone, visiting people's houses, loving them so much. Letting the love of God pour out of me.

What this world needs,

is a Savior who will rescue

a Spirit who will lead

a Father who will love them in their time of need

That's what this world needs

Jesus is our Savior

That's what this world needs

A Father arms around you

Thats what this world needs

Who would have thought that when I first stepped into Heart of God Church. That I would be sleeping at 12am and waking up at 5.30am just working. But I am not tired at all.
Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

I'm running this race with God. And even though it is tiring, I will run and not be faint. I will not burn out, for I lean on God and not on my own power. Living the life out of my comfort zone is so much more fulfilling than living safely in the comfort zone. Even though its easier to live in the comfort zone, it would be boring. Like my life before Christ. Just content with playing football in the Singapore under-12 national team and studying hard. It was a good life but there had to be more. There is more to this world. There is more to life. There is hope. There is a purpose.

Is there hope for every man?

a solid place where we can stand

In this dry and weary land

is there hope for every man?

Is there love that never dies?

Is there peace in troubled times?

Someone help me understand

is there hope for every man?

There is hope for every man?

a solid place where we can stand

In this dry and weary land

There is hope for every man

There is love that never dies

There is peace in troubled times

Can we help them understand

that Jesus is hope for every man.

There is hope, there is love, there is peace, from Jesus. I would never trade my lifestyle for an uncomfortable now.

The Bible was inscribed over a period of two thousand years
in times of war and in days of peace
by kings, fishermen, tax collectors, singers
but marvel that a library so perfectly cohesive
could have been produced by such a diverse crowd
over a period that staggers the imagination

To end this post in a lighter tone, I would like to ask all visitors to tag so that I know who visits this blog, I've been wondering why my hits keep going up. Oh and all the poetic lyrics come from Casting Crowns, I did not write any of them. I would love to have such poetic skill though. But alas, we cant have everything.

In school LOLOLOL ROFLCOPTER!

2008-07-01T11:24:00.002+08:00

In school now blogging. Joshua the clown and Jing Kang the emo kid fighting next to me. Stupid NCC day. Uniformed groups sucks. Maybe except scouts. Go Newtown scouts! ACS scouts suck! boo you!

Brennan saying something
ah, nice mouse. im not sure y kevin has a smile face on his laptop. kevin got biten by wasp also.

Brennan has poor English. Look at the lack of punctuation, proper spelling and capital letters. I scoff at it. Scoff.

He very the lame.

Ok, when I started this blog 2 years ago, I never expected this.

My room's in a mess, I'm tired and hungry and loving every second of precious life God has given me.

I like to think of myself as a pioneer in blogging. First few to put music, hit counter and custom skins in blogs. (Well as far as I know) Hahas, 2 years later, back to the basics. Basic skin, simple music, hit counter still counting, and more posts.

Well, the stronghold is slowly crumbling. Still resisting a lot. Its kind of hard when you wake up thinking of it.

Wading through the mud around me

How can I be free from this disease?

Tears have run from many waters

You, you saved my soul

you made me whole

Ahhh.........

Hungry..........

2k visits, need more features, like the escapist.

School starts tomorrow, time to make some noise and take the schools!

Now is the time to rise the rain is falling.

So thirsty.....

2008-06-12T09:17:00.002+08:00

I never thought it would be this way
I never dreamed I would feel this way
I am not afraid..

I never ever felt this way before
Till you came into my heart

Hold your head up high
Don't give up the fight
You've got more inside
Leave your fears behind

No imagination
we can overcome

Rain falls in the harvest time
we can overcome

Got no destination
we can overcome

Snow falls in the summertime
we can overcome

Hahas. Song by Red Rain. The lyrics really just speak of me and my life.
How was I to know 3 years ago I would be here feeling this way.
No I'm not on drugs.

Love's like an army that can't be beaten. Which side will you be when the rain falls down. Hahas, another song.

Continuing, I'm not on drugs. How was I to know, 5 years ago, being a hard hearted kid who disagreed with Christianity on every level. How was I to know that 5 short years later, I would be a SON not a servant of God serving in Heart of God Church, with Jesus in my heart and the Holy Spirit as my helper. How was I to know.

How was I to know that
Love, Love, there she stands
there she calls
come home my love
come home.

Another Redrain song. But how was I to know that God's holding my hand and walking by my side. How was I to know that I would have peace and joy in my heart. How was I to know that I would be reaching out to friends to tell them about John 3:16. How was I to know?

I am a son, not a servant

Fall on your knees and worship

2008-06-07T23:04:00.002+08:00

Ok, I'm so filled with the Spirit now. I just finished my quiet time and well it was an isotonic drink. (if you get what I mean)
Ok, I just got healed!

I'm serious! Today, Dr Che Ahn came to preach about miraculous healing. After preaching the word, in a faith-filled atmosphere, he prayed for healing over the congregation. I closed my eyes, in faith that I could get 20-20 vision. After fervent and faith-filled prayer, I opened my eyes. My vision was....... the same. But, I thought to myself, "Why doesn't my back hurt anymore?" I realized I was standing straight effortlessly. Sharp people around me should notice that I am hunchbacked. Not anymore, I am totally healed! The tension in my back is gone. I can stand straight effortlessly.

Went on stage to testify. Daunting really. Saw so many other people on stage. All healed. So Dr Che Ahn prayed for me and I fell in the power of the Holy Spirit. The presence was so strong in the faith-filled atmosphere. Went off stage, continued worshipping. Sang another version of the old Hymn Amazing Grace. It was so apt. Amazing Grace healed me, saved me, my God, my Savior ransomed me.

Later, Dr Che Ahn's personal assistant prayed for my eyesight and I tell you it really is clearer than before! Worshipped, worshiped and worshiped. Just kept worshiping the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's, the almighty God. Then, I got prayed for again, and fell in the presence for the third time. The presence of God is just so awesome and indescribable. I'm just addicted. Its a drug.

Going to tell the world
How great is our God?
Sing with me!
How great is our God?
And all will sing
How great
How great
is our God

The name above all names
My heart will sing
How great is our God

The King of Kings,
Lord of Lords
God almighty,
who sent His Son
down to die on the cross
to save
and heal
a sinner like me

Some pics!

2008-06-07T09:44:00.005+08:00

As I promised last night, here are some pictures I did. I've been pretty busy with Adobe Photoshop CS3 and did like 2 desktop backgrounds. I took 3 hours to figure out the line tool!

Ahhh, the top one is a desktop background about Jo from Burst Angel, an anime I'm watching but more on that later. This took me like 6 hours to do.

The top one is a bunch of Ipod Negima pictures compiled together to form a desktop background. Negima is another anime and manga. Its by Ken Akamatsu, the genius who also drew Love Hina.

And the last one all the way at the bottom is an older picture I posed in Garrysmod 11. Its a scout running from Blu base with the Blu intel. Took me 3-4hrs to pose this picture.

Like my pictures? Go to my deviantpage @ http://bor3ds0ul.deviantart.com/ to see all of them in their full 1280 x 800 pixels glory.

Ahh its raining now, raining so heavily.
Worried for my Geography file, I can't find it. Very peculiar

Ren Hao

2008-06-06T21:36:00.005+08:00

Mr Foo Ren Hao of Mongolian descent died on the spot on 6th June 2008 due to a powerful hit from Jolene Yeo. The hit could be heard a few blocks away.An artist's impression of the incident (Love Hina Hahas.)

Ren Hao is a very nice guy and my long time friend of about 8 years. He's not really Mongolian, he's a Singaporean/Malaysian its weird.
He says hi and "this is a weird post"
He migrated to China last year after PSLE and just he migrated back to Singapore. So fickle minded! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! My compatriot, buddy, brother in arms is back for good! Ren Hao is speaking with an American accent now, he sounds so weird. I'm gonna get a picture of him up soon.
Hermann says he should go back to primary school. Yeah! He's in assumption sec.
Hahas, fun fun, everyone is playing GTA now
And some new linkies for you:
My deviantpage (must go!) http://bor3ds0ul.deviantart.com/
My Steam ID (For gamers) http://steamcommunity.com/id/bor3ds0ul/
Hahas, GTA 3 is so fun!

Anyways, you must go to my deviantpage! I have quite a bit of artwork up on it. Going to blog about it tommorow morning. Too tired now. Just a picture now, a teaser if you will.

Hahas, this is Jo from an anime series I'm watching called Burst Angel. I'm hooked!

Stalled at the start

2008-06-06T11:13:00.001+08:00

So much for starting the school holidays with a blast, fell ill for the entire first week....

sianz.......

Anyway, been busy this second week! In church posting now, waiting for Ivan now for discipleship course. He seems to be late. Still waiting. Shawn is sitting next to me. Hi Shawn! BMT has started! w00t! No, for those unenlightened BMT is not Basic Millitary Training ( but give yourself 2 points cause 2 of the word are the same, but its out of 100 anyway, so you still fail! Failure! n00b!) BMT is in actual fact, drum roll please, Basic Ministry Training! Wheee! So its a mandatory training to join a ministry. For those further unenlightened (you really have to get out more) here is the wiki page for ministry. (I am not going to even bother to explain) Go read it. Okay, they don't have the page, so I have to explain it. Wikipedia, why has art thou failed me?! Okay Lets ask Shawn. He says he doesn't know. Thanks a lot Shawn! Notebook to the rescue! Ministry is basically serving God in Church.Yeah. Correct me if I'm wrong. Wiki says: activity by Christians to spread or express their faith. That seems like a good definition. Examples: Usher Ministry, Lights Ministry etc etc. Good enough for you unenlightened people.

Hahas, discipleship is starting, gtg!

Notably,
Smiling while getting punished (Ah, I have a bone to pick with some teachers)
Getting scolded for no reason.
Toshiba! (Finally!)

Results out

2008-05-15T23:04:00.004+08:00

Well, after ONE WHOLE week of waiting and slacking, mid-year results are released tommorow.
I just fell into temptation again, so sian. Why do I keep doing this? People say the stronghold I have is harder to break than smoking, so its an uphill battle, but through God, all things are possible! The stronghold is slowly crumbling, I'm nibbling away at it day by day. It will fall to the siege!
I have a dream that one day, my post will be "Stronghold annihalated!" That will be when I go a whole year, 365 days, without falling to it. Pray for me please. Falling to it is like failing your parents every time.
Haiz.. now I have to reset my timer
This job has gone 0 days without accidents!
Help me go to one week!
Then slowly to 365!
Well, back to the results,
I think I did pretty ok,
My expectations
Math: A1
Chinese: B3
Psci: A1
Lsci:A2
Literature: B3
Art:C7

Time for the stronghold to crumble and fall!

Manchester United Champions!

2008-05-11T23:51:00.002+08:00

Manchester United has finally been crowned champions after a nail-biting and exciting 90 minutes of football. (I feel like I'm writing a newspaper report hahas)
We are the Champions, We Are the Champions,
No time for losers, cause we are the champions
of the world! (or maybe not)
Yeah! I am so hyper now! Manchester united FTW!
Wigan played extremely well but a goal from legend Ryan Giggs finalised the victory.
For the first time, the title was decided by goal difference. (Why am I writing in newspaper report format? Why? Did I study too hard)
Champions!

Manchester United vs Wigan Athletic

2008-05-11T22:03:00.003+08:00

Final game of the Barclays premeier League Season. Its down to the wire as Manchester United face off against Wigan Athletic. I'm in a dark living room with my parents. The lights are turned off because of the blooming insects flying around. The only sources of light are from my tablet, my dad's tablet and the tv. Its an intense match. Don't underestimate Wigan Athletic, they are a disciplined and tough side to beat. The match is pretty even. Chelsea vs Bolton Wanderers is also playing simltaniously.
Yeah! John Terry is injured!!! Chelsea's key defender is injured! This is wonderful!
So close! Tevez nearly scores! Poor first touch lets him down.
Ahhhh! Scholes drags it wide.
Wigan is playing so well.
Wigan nearly scores! Great save from Van der Sar.
Manchester United are playing wonderful football
Ronaldo scores!! A wonderful penalty taken my Christiano Ronaldo!
GOAL!!!!!!!
Manchester United one up against Wigan Athletic
Still dead locked at Chelsea though!
Scholes nearly receives a yellow card.
So exciting. When you know that this game matters the most. How you start does not matter, only how you finish.
Go Bolton Wanderers!
Manchester United are dominating possesion as usual.
Now, nerved calmed after the goal, I can finally watch in peace.
One added minute.
Joel Low from Faith 6 2006 is also watching, just called him, both supporting man united.
Half-Time

Wheeee!

2008-05-10T09:59:00.002+08:00

Exams are up, come and gone. I guess that is a reason to celebrate. Feel like doing a deep post today, since I finally have the time.
Well, I can talk about my life... I guess
The road to Heart of God Church I guess.
First, God put Genghis as my neighbour and into my primary school, Pei Hwa Presbyterian Priamry.
Then I went to Pei Hwa, met Genghis.
Pei Hwa really did a great job of softening my heart. Even though I was a bit Nazi in my third year, by my sixth, my heart was totally open.
Genghis got saved.
But by then, I was already in the Singapore under-12 national team (yes this is true)
This does not mean I was good, it just means the rest of the team sucks! Yes, the Singapore under-12 team sucks. Singapore football has no future. The coaches are a little racist and chickenshit too.
Back to point, I was too tired to go to church the mulititude of times Genghis asked me to go.
Eventually, I left the national team because I saw no hope in them. Coincidentally, It was Easter.
Well, I went for easter and got saved!!

Report! Report

2008-05-08T17:15:00.005+08:00

Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been to busy mugging to post. I originally wanted to give a day to day live commentary for you buggers but too busy I guess. Not much has gone the way I expected. After reading Wayne's infant blog, I've been inpired to write a very deep post for this one. But, yes again, no time.... I feel as if I'm talking to you buggers. Do I owe you a post? Wait, yes I owe my readers. You who faithfuly check this everyday, wait thats just me. Sorry, you who actually read this. I Salute You. And not just any salute (or the Nazi one), the Kevin Salute! All Heil Kevin! (You better be happy I give salutes to few people.)

Does remember anyone rember this picture?

Its such old one, three in fact. Found it looking through the archives of my firend's blog.

For some reason, it looks life Keitaro Urashima and Naru Narusegawa from Love Hina, a manga and anime.

It really looks like it

Well, I'm really nervous for my mid-years. Mainly because I've been procrastinating a lot. Some times, I can really focus, sometimes I can't. Still ,I'm pretty prepared going in. Most of my notes have been completed and I still have time. I also have no right to worry because Jesus is with me! I pray that I can study hard and be disciplined.

Hey guys,

on preparation for the common tests, I'm thankful for having time to still do stuff with Garrysmod. Garrysmod is a sandbox game where you can do anything in the constraints of the Source Engine. Confused? Go read an earlier post about it. link: http://bor3ds0ul.blogspot.com/2007/04/gmod-battlefield-medal-of-honor.html

Here is a screenshot of my entry.

I did pretty well for my work. Had a bit of a disadvantage because I submetted it so late into the competition. Link to the competition: http://www.garrysmod.com/challenge/show/?id=27&page=3

Here is the Raw:

Reading through my older posts, I realise my writing has gotten more mature over the years. No longer the young boy I was, now I am a TEENAGER! Hahas, little joke won't hurt right?
Oh yeah, the link to the GMOD website: http://www.garrysmod.com/

Well, to the math! (again)

Oh the Irony

2008-04-25T22:04:00.002+08:00

Define Irony,
come on, you can do it,
for those numbskulls who can't, let me give my own version of irony.

It was during math class yesterday. We were going through a revision paper the math teacher gave us. I got one of those algebra, "give away" as my teacher calls it, questions wrong.
It was because I forgot to change the signs after removing the brackets.
Example
6-(4+5) = 6-4-5
I wrote
6-(4+5) = 6-4+5

I'm not really good at algebra.
So the teacher asks, "Who got the question wrong?"
I honestly reply, "Me."
And she says," Well, serves you right for not paying attention during class."
I was flabbergasted
The ironic think is I pay attention in class and get questions like this wrong while the guy next to me doesnt pay attention and gets it right. I'm just new to algebra, teacher! I hate it when people tell me off for things I did not do. Well, this also be interpreted as "life is unfair" but I don't really think so. Even if it was, Deal with it!
You can call it a rant, but I'm just letting my frustration out.
Arrgh, Exams,
Kevin (no snide sarcastic comments, sorry)

Joshua Chang

2008-04-17T07:01:00.002+08:00

This morning's post is about my good friend Joshua Chang. He is a clown. No, I'm understating it. He is a freaking clown! Quick poll, is Joshua offended? Joshua: I don't know. He is now playing Metal Slug 1. Well, the whole class is doing something illegal (including me). It's 7am in ACS (I) 1.7.

Well, more to the point, back to Joshua. He is a bloody clown. He is extremely random even in class. Its hard to remember an example because they are so many! My other friend, Jing Kang says,"He is a dum dum." (exact words) He then continues to say,"You spelt it wrong. It should be: H-I-E-S-S R D-A-M D-A-M." The people in my class are all quirky and eccentric. I really should get a video and post it on youtube. And now all the people are huddled at the computer.

Eugene is teh suxor.

Moving on, its time to go for assmebly,
Bye!

The aftermath of yesterday

2008-04-15T08:55:00.005+08:00

2008-04-14T17:11:00.009+08:00

Woah, back in what, six months? Back on the same blogging screen. I cannot believe I'm back here. feels so nostalgic except that now I'm in a different school uniform. 6 glorious months of hiatus. Yes I still haven't cultivated the habit of showering immediately after coming back from school and procrastinating at nearly every opportunity. (I'm supposed to be doing math now) Hahas. My hits counter finally went north and hit four digits! party! For the unenlightened I scored 253 for PSLE

I'm now in drum roll please.... Anglo Chinese School Independent. Most of you probably know that. There is so many things to blog about and rant about. My ranting, how I miss ranting here. If you want to know one of the reasons why I stopped blogging right after PSLE its because of a few factors

1) The orange box. Who can argue, nearly the best thing ever.

2)LAN parties

3)Cheaper laptops.

I would love to go on even more about this but I have math to do.

On to the ranting!

First things first, rant about my school. ACS(I) has a huge campus as most of you also know. (Gee you guys know a lot) It has a rich tradition blah blah blah. I don't think you guys want to know about its culture and blah blah blah. If you do you better comment hahas. It's a pretty good school, lets us use tablets and stuff. The culture is good. They can cultivate excellent speakers and let us use our creative abilities to the max. I wish I could speak as well as the year 6. I have to wear a bloody TIE! We get to use tablets which is cool but more on that another time. The teachers are excellent! My life science teacher is an ex-CID officer! But why do I call this a rant? Its because I hate most of the feeder school people!! Their attitude is pretty bad and they are so undisciplined. I can see where most of the anti-ACS sentiment comes from. Most of them are disruptive during class, defiant and cannot respect authority. But there are still a few nice guys out there. Most of them are my good friends. They are getting better however, most of them are quite nice when you get to know them. The school has plenty of redeeming factors and the food is pretty good.

Now on to some news, or old news for most of you knowing smart alecs. My mother got saved. Whooo! Hallelujah! (I hope I spelt that correctly). She was touched by the holy spirit in one of the services in Heart of God church. I was elated and still am. God is good! Heart of God Church is even more booming as last october (my last post..... Man that was a long time ago) We are growing strong and I am walking even closer with God. A lot has changed since last october. (I hate you time!)

Well, enough procrastinating, my common tests are coming up and i gots (obvious spelling and grammar error) to study. Well, one last tidbit before I sign off (This feels like English), a PICTURE, photoshoped by me!
Isn't it cool
Oh well

BYEEEEEE!

On to the math!

Service

2007-10-15T14:15:00.000+08:00

This week, I went for both the Saturday and Sunday service! Both services were very impactful and meaningful. The saturday service was about the river of God. I felt like it was really practical and could be applied in my life. The Sunday service was about strong leadership and how to build a strong church. And Im going to type all my notes out for some people who didnt go.

Strong leadership
A vision
Q1) What kind of church do you see yourself being part of?
What kind of church do you see yourself building?

What is your vision?

A big church may not be a strong church but a strong church will grow big.

Q2)How do you build a strong church?
By having strong, balanced leaders
Everything rises and falls on leadership.

Judges 5:2

In the absence of good leadership bad leadership will arise.

Q3) What is a strong church?
Psalms 110:2-3

A strong church is where leaders lead and people follow and volunteer.

God puts specific people in specific places for specific purposes.

Esther 4:11-14

Seeing yourself as a leader

Numbers 13:33 14:7

1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Ok that was the sermon for that week.

Since its the end of PSLE, I can finally do my quiet time regularly!

and I've been playing loads of games, such as team fortress 2 ,trackmania united, portal, half-life 2 and lots more, courtesy of steam!

Service

2007-10-01T19:59:00.000+08:00

Yesterday's service was extremely powerful and impactful. the sermon was about immediate and total obedience to God. As usual it was interesting and meaningful. However, the praise and worship after that was more impactful than usual. The song was just so meaningful! Every one was on their knees, crying tears of joy and lifting thier hands. Everyone was filled with the prescence of the Lord. When we are filled with the prescence of the lord, we sob but inside we are extremely joyful.
After service, I went with Zone F to long john silvers to watch them eat dinner. I chatted with Rytha and Wayne both of whom are abt a year older tham me. Funny people

This past week ive been studying unlike anything before. Mugging day after day. Church is the only relief. Thank God! Its all going to culminate in the next two weeks. My 6 years culminating in 2 weeks. Sounds grand aint it?

Service

Service this week was awesome! Pastor Joakim Lundqvist came from Nordic 07 to preach to us. The service was interesting. Shermane Eng also came. She enjoyed the service a lot. It was about marriage and how to choose a life partner. It was very intersting and offered very practical tips. During the praise and worship i felt the holy sprit fill me, it was a wonderful feeling of total joy. Its really a great undescribable feeling. After service, there was a sharing by dom and joanne about their trip to Sweeden. Anyone want to come to Heart of God Service?

Service yesterday

2007-09-03T16:07:00.000+08:00

Service yesterday was great, the daytona event was on and Jeanie, Jolene, Bryan, Ronald and Shamin went for it. Surprisingly, ronald and jolene were adept daytona racers and qualified into the semis but were knocked out. The service was great, the sermon was great, the music was great and Jeanie, Shamin, Ronald and Bryan want to come back next week. Jeanie even wanted to convert to christ!

Here is a pic

Hi again

2007-08-31T15:01:00.000+08:00

Well, its been pretty long, been pretty busy studying and using my precious computer time for computer games.

Playing Command and Conquer 3, a real-time-strategy game, Full Spectrum Warrior, a squad based real-time-strategy game, Sourceforts, a Half-Life 2 multiplayer mod and Call of Duty 2 and some Halo demo multiplayer.

Heart of God church is booming, we just moved to our new venue in Singpost! The church is getting pretty big and the sermons are as interesting as ever. The music is great too. There's nothing like having the holy spirit fill you. Zone F has a blog too its at http://wearezonef-.blogspot.com/ Here's a picture of Zone F at FTMS House.

My leader, Joanne just left for Sweeden for the Nordic confrence. We'll all be missing her!

Excerpt from Zone F blog

Jesus and Satan were arguing over who was better with computers. Finally God suggested they settle it: Each would spend two hours using spreadsheets, designing webpages, making charts and tables- everything they knew how to do.The two sat down at their keyboards and began typing furiously. Just before the two hours were up, a thunderstorm knocked the power out. Once it came back on, they booted up their computers."It's gone! It's all gone!" Satan began to scream. "My work was destroyed!"Meanwhile, Jesus began quietly printing out his work. "Hey, he must have cheated!" Satan yelled. "How come his stuff wasn't lost?"God shrugged and said simply, "Jesus saves."

GMOD, battlefield, Medal of Honor

2007-04-21T19:13:00.000+08:00

Hey people, sorry for the long wait for a post. I had to prepare for he exams. I did pretty well, passed my HCL and got 70 for CL! YEA! My dad bought me an ASUS laptop for gaming. It has pretty good specs. An ATI 856mb graphics card, 2gb RAM, Intel core2 Duo with 1.8ghz processing power. Playing all my games laglessly and beautifully.

GMOD
GMOD is short of Garrys Mod. Garry's Mod, or GMod for short, is a "sandbox" mod for the first-person shooter computer game Half-Life 2. It allows the player to manipulate objects and experiment with the physics, often with interesting results thanks to the Half-life 2physics engine. It allows me to pose ragdoll models, create contraptions, or death traps. There is also a large communtity which allows me download maps, models and SWeps (scripted weapons)

note: Ragdoll: Basically, a character model that is a limp, lifeless doll. It doesn't move or stand on its own, it's basically the "dead" version of the characters. To make them look as if they are living, they must be posed, which entails picking them up and locking them into place with the Garry's Mod physics tool (It's sort of like posing an action figure). You can also add facial expressions.

I downloaded a model pack for halo ragdolls and have been playing with it and created some nice screenshots. Which Ill upload later.
One of the sweps also allow me to create a nuclear explosion. Its fun but deadly to watch.

Battlefield 1942
Battlefield 1942 is an expansive first-person shooter (FPS), set in World War II.I usually play with bots servers are usually very laggy. Players are able to fly World War Two era fighter aircraft and bombers, navigate capital ships and aircraft carriers, man coastal defenses, drive tanks and jeeps, control stationary weapons, vehicles or just fight as one of five classes of infantry.
Each battle takes place on one of several maps located in a variety of places and famous battlefields in all of the major theaters of World War II: the Pacific, European, North African and Eastern Fronts. Its a really fun game especially when youre killing people with a tank. Yuo charge down the battlefield, machine gun blazing, cannon firing like mad at armor and infantry.

Battlefield Vietnam
Battlefield Vietnam has the same scoring system as Battlefield 1942. Its set in the Vietnam War now and has new equipments, vehicles and weapons. Tanks, helicopters, planes, pt boats, the like. Oh yea, theres nothing like spraying your squad automatic weapon at enemies

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault and Allied Assault.

Two very good games. Allied Assault game pits the player as Lt. Mike Powell, an agent for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Lt. Powell is sent through six missions in the North African and European theatre and is expected to complete multiple objectives on every mission. Col. Hargrove, Powell's mission commander, sends dossiers and important information on how to complete your mission every so often. Along the way Powell will frequently be helped by Allied forces, however most of the time he is on his own against the Germans.
Mission 1 takes place in the Algerian coastal town of Arzew, where Powell helps secure the beaches for Operation Torch as well as rescue SAS commando Major Jack Grillo.
In Mission 2, Powell goes to Norway to scuttle the U529, and destroy the NAXOS prototype, a device that would shift the balance of power in the Atlantic back to the Nazis. It should also be noted that Major Grillo meets his untimely end here, after letting Powell into the complex (shot dead by a sniper).
In Mission 3, Powell must survive Omaha Beach, and then go with Captain Ramsey to find US Paratroopers and assist in taking out a battery of Nebelwerfers.
In Mission 4, Powell goes behind enemy lines to gather intelligence on German infantry movements and gain information on the German's rumored "King Tiger Tank."
In Mission 5, Powell has to protect a team of Allied tank operators and steal a King Tiger, in order to seize a bridge to quicken the siege of the town of Brest, France.
In the 6th and final mission, Powell must go to Fort Schmerzen and destroy it. Schmerzen (pain in German) is a mustard gas facility.

Pacific Assault
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault is a game developed by EA Games as part of the Medal of Honor series for the PC. This edition puts the player in the role of Pvt. (later Pfc. and Cpl.) Tommy Conlin, a U.S. Marine in the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II. It also uses the Havok physics engine. Levels include Pearl Harbor, Makin Atoll, Guadalcanal, and Tarawa.

Well, I guess you're bored now. I can finally relax after SA2. School has been good so far. Not much to say. The counter's at 800. Gonna hit 1k soon. Maybe if I could post more, you would come more. LOL XD. I heard a lot of people failed maths. Joan did quite badly so she cant use the computer, lost freedom.

Church

2007-04-07T11:25:00.000+08:00

Hey heys people,

Genghis invited me to his church yesterday for the Easter service and it was a blast. The church is called Heart of GOD church and the service there is great. Before going to the church, we met C4 met at Dohby Ghaut (pardon my spelling) MRT station. The people there are so friendly. Genghis introduced me to his group members and they were very friendly. When I talked to them, they kept saying,"You sound like Cheryl!" Then there were these two nice girls Ruoen and Eeru (nickname) who brought me around and introduced me to more people. When ever they introduced me, the people would say,"You sound like Cheryl!"
Then I would say "Who is Cheryl?!" Everyone would laugh.
Then, we left for the church. On the waty Eeru was chatting with me. A few minutes later, we reached the church. When we sang we sang with so much passion, people jumping up and down, clapping and stuff like that. After singing we had testimonials of people who had been touched by Jesus. Then the pastor told us about how Jesus died. Then after communion the service ended but we still stayed there. Eeru went through we me the basics of christianity. After that, I met Cheryl. We realised that we spoke acted and looked like each other. Which is kind of odd since she's 4 years my senior.Later, we went as a group of about 100 people to Clark Quay to eat dinner. We went to the foodcourt bought the food and went to the riverside to eat.

Since it was travis' birthday all 100+ of us sang him a birthday song. He loooked so shocked when we started singing. After that we played some very fun games and went home.

Just came back from supplementary, pretty tired, I think I'll go make myself a cup of Milo.

Lol..... I just watched the mini-series "Band of Brothers" Here's the gist (off wiki again)

Band of Brothers is an acclaimed 10-part television miniseries set during World War II, co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. The mini-series first aired in 2001 on HBO and still runs frequently on different US TV channels — most recently The History Channel.
The mini-series centers on the experience of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, U.S. 101st Airborne Division and one of its early platoon leaders, Richard Winters. It is based on the book of the same name written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose.

Its a very good series but it was too short.

I also found a very good website for getting pictures. Devianart. I found lots of nice pics there.

Oh yea, I'm also hooked onto the anime Naruto. (If you havent noticed)

Heres the gist (again off wiki)

Naruto (ナルト, Naruto? romanized as NARUTO in Japan) is a manga by Masashi Kishimoto with an anime TV series adaptation. Its main character, Naruto Uzumaki, is a loud, hyperactive, adolescent ninja who constantly searches for approval and recognition, as well as to become Hokage, acknowledged as the leader and strongest of all ninja in the village.

Well, I guess thats all. I gotta do my hmwk

school again

2007-03-21T14:36:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the long wait for a post, was to busy (playing) during the school holidays. hehe Well, back to school. playing a new game now, Battlefield 1942! Yea! Schools still pretty fun. Well, until Ms Teo changed our seats. I'm sitting with the insane retard Shaofen. Retard! Shes like an insane person who thinks crazy stuff. She says Nike waterbottles are sexy. Insane. (ok maybe I'm gonna rant about this for the whole post) She is obsessed with "JJ" (who is that anyway?) Her file is covered with pictures of him. Its kinda disturbing sitting next to her. At least Kuo Xuan and En Yong are sitting in the next row to help me deal with it.

K, I'm gonna cut this short

CNY

2007-02-23T22:32:00.000+08:00

Happy chinese new year too all. Wheres my red packet?! LOL. CA1 is right next week, snuck up on me again. I seem to never notice important things till the last minute. Hope I do well. Not very confident about aything now.

Moving on, I got my cousin Bryan's Steam acc and since he has the CS anthlogy, I can download them, FOR FREE! The anthology includes Counter-Strike, CS:CZ, Deathmatch classic and Ricochet. When I played CS, I was shocked at the skill of most of the players. With an AWP (Powerful sniper rifle) they can stil do CQB (close quater combat). Keep getting owned by players I can't see or got headshot by some Ak-47. (Headshot 100dmg) How do people get so pro? Still, I managed to get some kills and win a few rounds. Very hard to find a server here though. I'm doing better in Deathmatch and Richochet, which is more fun but you will get fatigued and bored after playing for a long period, unlike CS. Very few servers but easy to connect, unlike CS.

Moving on, I had a fun chinese new year (CNY). Visited my cousins' houses, collected red packets etc etc. Collected abt $400 in total.

Well, sleepy nitey nite

...

2007-02-15T18:53:00.000+08:00

Its official, my maths stink! Scored horribly for two tests. I'm not gonna delve into details. The bright side is that I make the mistakes now and not during the upcoming Ca1. I hate exams.

Its been a horrible week for Leon. He got punished like every day larhs, poor poor leon.

Btw, I just noticed I had subscribed to Animax on digital cable. Been watching the shows. The bad part about most anime is that it's a really tight series and If I miss one episode I'm missing alot. My favourites so far are "Black Jack", Candidates for Goddess"(ended) and "Galaxy Railroad" All of them are quite easy to watch and doesn't have that many complex storylines. I wish I found this channel earlier.

Moving on, I downloaded two game demos, Darwinia and DEFCON off steam. DEFCON is the best out of the two. DEFCON is a streamlined RTS with no resource collection or unit development. You just place your units and start a thermonuclear war. Here are the basics(off wiki of course): [edit] Overview
In DEFCON, players are given a dehumanised 1980s vector graphics computer-themed world map, a varied arsenal of nuclear weapons, and a primary objective: destroy as many of the enemy's population as possible. A typical game will see "innocent" casualties numbering in hundreds of millions (megadeaths) while players try their hand at annihilating their opponents. Attacking is a very risky strategy that leaves oneself wide open to attack.
In most games, all sides take heavy losses, but the player with the highest score wins. Players' scores are determined according to one of three schemes: Default (gain 2 points for 1 Megadeath caused, lose 1 point for 1 Megadeath suffered), Survivor (gain 1 point per million survivors in your territory) or Genocide (gain 1 point for each Megadeath caused); though functionally identical in a one-on-one conflict, each scoring scheme suggests subtle differences in strategy in larger multiplayer conflicts.
Gameplay time can be varied by configuring the speed at which events progress from real-time to 20× real-time. Most games last 30 to 40 minutes while real-time gameplay can last more than 8 hours.
The game offers six territories that may be selected by a player or assigned to an AI opponent. These include:
North America: Includes all of the contiguous United States, Canada, and Alaska.
South America: Includes Mexico, Central America, and all of South America.
Europe: Includes all of Europe except Russia and Turkey.
Africa: Includes all of Africa.
USSR: Includes all of contiguous Russia.
Asia: Includes all Asian countries except for Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia and the south-east Asian islands.
Territories that cannot be selected or that would normally be part of the above six, but aren't, include: Australia, Greenland, Oceania, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the south-east Asian islands.

DEFCON is a streamlined RTS, with no unit production, resource collection, or technology tree upgrades. Players choose and position their forces at the beginning of the game. A countdown system prevents games from disintegrating prematurely. Gameplay begins at alert level DEFCON 5 and counts down to DEFCON 1 (the highest alert level). Each upgrade in alert level brings more possibilities, ensuring that issuing orders fastest will provide as little advantage as possible.
Once DEFCON 1 is reached, the game proceeds until a certain percentage (80% by default) of the total number of nuclear missiles available to all players have been launched or destroyed. Once this occurs, a victory countdown begins (45 game "minutes" by default) and the final score is announced when this countdown runs out.

A DEFCON game can host up to six human or AI players. Alliances can be formed, broken, or renegotiated at will with human players. Alliances with CPU controlled players can only be set at the start of the game. Allied players share radar coverage and line of sight, but there is no allied victory and there is only one winner. This means that almost all alliances are broken by the end of the game. Lead designer Chris Delay explains:

“We've seen alliance members shooting overhead friendly planes down because they believed the planes were scouting the area for targets in preparation for a strike. This results in arguments in the chat channels, followed by skirmishes at sea, followed by retaliation, before finally the whole alliance collapses and everyone starts nuking the hell out of each other. It's awesome.”
The chat system features a public channel, in which all players may communicate, as well as channels private to specific alliances, and direct player-to-player private messaging.

In a game with the Diplomacy option, all players start as members of a single alliance, and attempt to stay on top as the alliance disintegrates. Score is determined by survivors at the end of the game.

In Office mode, the game runs in real time and cannot be sped up. The game can be quickly forced to the background making the computer available for another use, or simply to make it appear the gamer is actually working. While the game continues to run in the background, a system tray icon will notify the gamer of certain events as they occur. The office mode hotkey, sometimes referred to as the boss key, is activated by striking the escape key twice in rapid succession. A game in office mode lasts no more than six hours. In fact, the boss key is available in all game modes, but it is designed for this mode in particular.

DEFCON uses a real-time line of sight system common to traditional RTS games, where only enemy units within radar coverage may be seen. However, a nuclear missile launch from a silo or submarine is automatically detected by all players (though the missile itself is not, and must be detected by radar), which reveals the location of the unit launching the missile. A nuclear missile launch from a bomber, however, does not reveal the location of the bomber.
Most units have several operating modes for different functions, and require several minutes to switch modes. For instance, ordering a missile silo to switch from offensive launches to missile defense will leave it inoperative while it switches.

Ground units
Ground installations are immobile, and can be destroyed by nuclear attack.
Radar dishes provide broad radar coverage (though most units have some radar capability), but they are destroyed by a single nuke. Often they are among the first targets, because they enhance other defense installations; for instance, a missile silo's firing range far outstrips its radar range. A radar dish can be destroyed if a fighter or bomber runs out of fuel or is shot down directly over it, even before DEFCON 1.
Missile silos have two modes: launching nuclear attacks or shooting down incoming missiles and planes. In the attack mode, a silo has ten ICBMs that may be fired at any target in the world, though doing so alerts all players and reveals the silo's position. On defense, a silo automatically fires anti-air missiles effective against enemy planes and missiles – however, the limited rate of fire means the silos may be overwhelmed by many incoming missiles. Unlike most units, silos are hardened against nuclear strikes, taking three hits to destroy, although each strike eliminates half (rounded down) of the silo's nuke stockpile.
Airbases house bombers and fighters (starting with five of each) plus a complement of five spare SRBMs to reload bombers that have launched their missile. They launch planes and provide a landing point for orphaned aircraft, and also build new fighters automatically throughout the game. Airbases take two hits to destroy; on the first hit, half of the airbase's currently landed aircraft and missiles are destroyed.

Ships
Naval units are organized into fleets of up to six ships which move and fight together. Fleets must be placed in territorial waters at the beginning of a game. Ships may move through the ocean, albeit slowly.
Carriers act as mobile airfields, scrambling fighters and nuke-equipped bombers. They are also the most powerful anti-submarine warfare escorts, armed with sonar and depth charges that quickly sink nearby subs. With no surface guns, they are helpless without their complement of planes.
Battleships are tough and carry powerful guns effective against surface fleets and aircraft. They are vulnerable to sub and bomber attacks, so are safer with carrier escorts.
Submarines carry torpedoes and an arsenal of five nukes. Sub attacks are dangerous against enemy ships, though subs are easily killed by carriers. Subs are invisible to radar but carry no radar of their own; they may use active sonar at the risk of exposing their position. Their real power comes from their missiles, which can devastate coastal cities, or quickly hit defenses before a full-scale strike. Subs must surface to fire nukes, leaving them open to counterattack before they can fire all their missiles; the launch also alerts all players to the sub's location.

Aircraft
Aircraft are launched from other ground and sea units. Typically they operate autonomously after launch, but bombers and fighters can also be controlled while airborne.
Fighters are light and fast, making them good at reconnaissance and interception. They are most effective against other aircraft, though they can attack ships as well. They have a fairly short range, forcing them to return to a base or crash for lack of fuel.
Bombers carry a single SRBM missile that may be fired at a nearby target. Bombers have a long range to deliver this payload, but are vulnerable during the trip. Unlike silo- and sub-based nukes, firing the missile does not alert everyone to the launch, making it a stealthier option. They also have a conventional attack that does heavy damage to ships.
Missiles deliver a devastating payload. A direct hit on a city will kill half of the current living civilians. Missiles can only be shot down by enemy silos in defense mode – several hits will cause them to crash harmlessly. Once launched from a silo, sub, or bomber, missiles cannot be retargeted, though they can be disarmed in mid-flight.

Its a really cool game but I'm not very good at it. I suffered a crushing defeat last time. score:-45. Well I'm still a newbie. I think my stratergies are too offensive.

Oh yeah, I also launched a new MV. Deviating away from my normal Halo themes, I made a World War 2 themed MV. Clips were from computer games Red Orchestra and Day of Defeat.

watch my Halo movies too!

Well, I guess thats all.

2007-02-11T18:28:00.000+08:00

Tommorow's the start of another week, time passes too fast.

I've been reading some HL2 comics and there are some really funny ones. The funniest (and longest) is Concerned. Concerned (Full title: Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman) is a webcomic by Christopher C. Livingston, parodying the popular first-person shooter computer game Half-Life 2. The comic was constructed from game screenshots, with characters posed using Garry's Mod (or Gmod for short) Its a really funny comic. Here are some panels.

I've also finished reading the book Holes.

Here's the intro. (off Wiki as always)

The story's protagonist, Stanley Yelnats IV, is wrongfully convicted of stealing a pair of sneakers donated to a charity by Clyde Livingston, and is sentenced to 18 months of service at Camp Green Lake, a boy's juvenile detention center in Texas. There, each inmate must spend his day in the dry desert (which was originally a lake) digging a hole five feet deep and five feet in diameter.

well thats all for now.

More stuff i guess

2007-02-03T11:48:00.000+08:00

Ok, I guess yesterdays post had too little info. (besides Smod of course)

We built Sumo bots in Robotics and it was hectic. Now I remember why I love robotics. The pressure of building in half an hour, the suspense before a match, the excitement of the robots fighting, the fear of losing, the joy in winning. Overall, we were bloody unlucky. We won only twice out of 4. Jeffrey's team were horribly lucky. Our robots were stuck together, then they kept spinning round and by the end of 20 seconds, both robots were on our side so we lost. Well, it was a good competition with lots of good robots from all teams.

Moving on, I hate my art teacher! Mdm Ling sux! She tells us to buy a scrapbook which is so damn expensive. Then when the class was supposed to paint some stupid colour thingie, I did on a notepad, when I was half-done she said, "Aiyo! Redo!" (or something like that) Then her instuctions were like very unclear. When I redoed she told me to redo again. Crap teacher.

Oh yea, this week's English/Science supplementary was damn fun. First we were doing work in the robotics room. We were laughin so hard about all the odd mistakes in the situational writing. After that, we went down to the field to do some science. We were supposed to draw an animal. I said,"Lets just draw an ant." Then Marvin said,"No Kevin, find a crocodile." LOL! Then, the next day, he was still asking for the croc.

Well, I guess thats all.

stuffys

2007-02-02T19:06:00.000+08:00

well, I guess another week has passed quickly. Quite an eventful week. I downloaded this cool mod. Its called SMOD and its really fun. Here's a description (off Planet Half-Life of course)

So, you've completed Half-Life 2 and decided to play through it again. You love the storyline and the gameplay, but the problem is that you've already beaten the game in hard mode, you know where all the scripted sequences occur, and you know where all the enemies are located. What you need is for Half-Life 2 to throw surprises at you. If only the game could randomise the enemies or the weapons, give the enemies new abilities, or mess with your expectations a bit, eh? Not to worry! SMOD does all of this, and more!
SMOD doesn't add a new storyline or maps. To this you may say "Huh? What DOES it add then?" And I guess the simple answer is… whatever you want it to. SMOD has the special effects and gore of F.E.A.R, realistic weapons you'd expect to see in Counter-Strike or Day of Defeat, crazy weapons you'd expect to see in Worms, tools you'd expect to find in Garry's Mod, and also plenty of original features of its own. Nearly every feature that SMOD adds is an optional element that you can switch on or off using console commands or, if you are more ambitious, by the simple editing of a config file with a text editor. If you wish, you can make the game virtually identical to normal Half-Life 2, a wild roller-coaster ride of strange experiences, or even a nice compromise between the two.

Many of the game's maps have got new enemies, allies, weapons or items added. Most are placed in specific locations, but others are randomly placed within a map, guaranteeing that no two experiences of the game will be the same. If you use the exec level_smod or exec level_hard commands, then as well as being given new weapons, some soldiers will be given portable Combine shields that will protect them from frontal attacks, unless you waste enough ammo to smash the shield. The exec level_hard command will add both shielded soldiers and also some wearing red or dark blue armour to indicate that they much tougher than their normal counterparts. Which soldiers are given these upgrades is randomly determined as you encounter them. If you are very unlucky, you'll encounter a soldier in coloured armour who's also protected by a bullet-proof shield! If you wish you can even use the command npc_randomize_weapon 1 to randomise the weapons that enemies carry.
Later sections of the game include soldiers wearing optical distortion camouflage that renders them nearly invisible, and a new type of Combine Elite soldier that moves quickly and leaps high into the air, landing in various unexpected locations. There are special Combine scanners that fire lasers rather than just photographing you, and even stalkers, the much-anticipated, mutilated, human slaves that will be appearing in HL2: Aftermath, armed with welding lasers. There's even a few of the old Half-Life houndeyes thrown in to the mix for good measure. During the Canals section of the game, the Combine will steal your airboat and you'll have to drive a buggy through the canals until you can track down the thieves. This section also features a scripted sequence in which you are chased by a Combine APC and a gunship, and one of the Highway 17 chapters includes an APC that drives around and fires rockets at you as well as an added Combine drop ship that delivers an extra squad of soldiers. If you decide that you don't like some of these additions, you can rename or edit the appropriate text file in the 'mapadd' folder.

That is a pretty extensive feature list, but I haven't started on the new special effects or player abilities. The exceptionally good "bullet-time" causes each slow-moving bullet to leave a distorting vortex in the air. It's customisable, so you can adjust the speed of enemy bullets or your own bullets (and thus the difficulty of the game), and choose whether to have extra funky screen effects that make it look like you are in some kind of time warp. If your computer is good enough, you can switch on the option to have explosions cause distorting shockwaves in the air. The "Gordon kick" key allows you to relive Duke Nukem 3D by attacking enemies with your mighty boot while still holding a gun, or to effortlessly kick objects or corpses out of your way. You can activate more blood and gore, bodies twitching after death, or corpses causing pools of blood in water. There's gibbing—causing enemies to splat into chunks if heavily damaged. SMOD also allows you to adjust the rag-doll physics between: the half-life 2 defaults, 'realistic' ragdolls, and 'funny' ragdolls that go spinning and flying all over the place.

You can press a key and use iron sights, meaning that you actually look down the barrel of your gun instead of simply using the crosshair. The command r_zoomlenseffect 1 adds a lens distortion effect if you use a weapon's scope. Speaking of weapons, this game has a butt-load of 'em! As well as the normal arsenal, during the course of the game you'll also find AK-47s, MP5 sub-machine guns with grenade launchers, SVD sniper rifles, Alyx's automatic pistol, WWII grease guns and rifles, Worms banana bombs, deadly scissors that ricochet off walls and laser guns that get their power by draining your HEV armour. The laser is definitely a unique touch—it seems ludicrously powerful, killing entire squads of enemies in seconds… until someone actually manages to damage you and depletes your HEV power; you then find yourself holding a weapon without ammo! If you do think the laser is too powerful, you can always adjust how much damage it does with a console command.

You can aim more accurately with scopeless weapons by aiming down the gun barrel and using the iron sights.
If you use cheat codes like impulse 101, you'll gain access to an even wider range of weapons, including a new physics manipulator, a strider's cannon that can vaporise almost everything (even furniture or huge vehicles), laser-triggered mines, a flare gun that will set enemies on fire, a sticky bomb launcher, a PSP that ejects deadly exploding UMD discs, and a powerful shovel to bash your enemies with. My personal favourite of the 'cheat' weapons is the "stuff launcher", which normally launches watermelons at lethal velocities, but its alternate fire is a beam that disintegrates almost any object or character. Then when you press primary fire, you'll launch copies of that object! Now you can flatten enemies with litter bins, cars, combine drop ships, or fill a map with a thousand explosive barrels and detonate them in a orgy of destruction that will also totally kill your frame rate. Alternatively, you can create rather than destroy, cloning yourself an army of allies… though they will appear unarmed, you can simply drop a gun on the ground and then use the stuff launcher to clone the gun a thousand times, and watch your army pick up the weapons scattered around them.

Ok most of that may be jargon to you but who cares?

Moving on, my two books and two CDs off Amazon.com just arrived. "The Art of HALO", "Half-Life 2 Raising The Bar" and the Cds Halo soundtrack and Halo 2 soundtrack volume 2. Listening to it now. The songs are really nice.

Ok, I guess thats all for now.

Had a great day today. First week of supplementary lessons. Todays supplementary was so funny. First we discussed our compositions. We were all serious at first but when we saw Bryan's compo which had loads of funny grammatical errors. One of them goes like this. The phrase is Give him box but should be give him the box. All of us were like thinking give him a punch? Then the whole class screamed into laughter. Since Bryan's compo was like so funny, Ms Teo said in a very funny voice, " So boring, So boring. When I marked this I could sleep." We laughed for like 5 whole minutes.

Then, when we were doing our corrections, I was lying in prone position (on my stomach) with Joan (Lim) lying in the same position next to me. At that time I laughed so much that I could laugh at anything said in a funny tone. As you know Joan is is damn funny lahz. So Chantel and Daniel joined us. When I asked how to do? How to do? Every one was giving me funny answers. When I wrote people, Ms Teo underlined it, so I suggested citizens of the beach. Lol. While we were doing Joan kept saying help me please then I said wait, she said ," Help or I will kill you" in the very act tough voice.

Later Ms Teo was doing a survey for the class. When she asked, " Who doesn't have a computer at home." Wan Mai raised his hand then said" I don't have but my brother has." LOL!
Laughed my heart out today. Then Joan kept saying "Baa baa black sheep have you any bear?" Or something like that. I kept sniggering out of the class.

When we were lining up to go home. I told Ms Teo," I hope supplementary is this funny everytime."

Ms Teo: Me too.

Joan Lim: If everyone keeps writing horrible compos.

Ms Teo: *Laughs* Then no

Lol hope supplementary is this funny.

more stuff

2007-01-21T16:38:00.000+08:00

Well, school sux. Was missing my friends during the holidays and now when i come back to school, we're to busy to talk. School still has been tiring and well depressing so far, well at least I can look forward to the weekends and well, Joan 's sitting besides me and she cheers me up with her funny statements. Swarmed with homework this year, its like P5 SA2 rush everyday. Haiz, there's still remedial on Tuesdays and thursdays.

Ok, on to other stuff. I got a few nice pics from my friends.

Ok, on to some other stuff, I just played a cool mod: Antlion Troopers Deuce. In this mod, I'm basically a Combine Elite defending the base from hoards of Antlions. Its quite an adrenaline pumping mod, with hundreds (I'm not exagerating) of antlions. I get to use very deadly turrets against the antlions. Heres a few pics and screens.

Its a really cool mod so if anyone has HL2 get this MOD! Here's the address: http://antlions.hl2world.com/index.php

Well i guess thats all.

past two weeks

2007-01-19T22:07:00.000+08:00

haiz..... too busy to blog nowadays. Loads of homework.

Anyways my birthday was yesterday. Celebrated it last friday. Hahas. got 4 nice presents.

Plush headcrab!!!!!! (Aunt)

Desktop speakers! !!!! (collaborated by three families)

Half-Life 2 Raising the Bar (book) (Parents)

The Art of Halo (book) (parents)

Woot. I just got the headcrab today and it looks sweet. Got the 2 books from the library. (I still want to own them though) I can just take them out, flip to a page and start reading. Like mangas. The desktop speakers are really useful. Just come home from school, plug them in and listen to music while the phone charges. I'm listening to techno alot nowadays. Listening to a one-man band called "Sanxion 7" His songs are really nice. I also got some O2Jam songs and Audition songs. 2gb memory can really store alot.

Now to homework, got lots everyday, I rarely have anytime to play. When angered. Ms Teo is a damn crappy teacher. Lin Lao Shi is nice but ting xie is very hard. At least I have music. Got not much to talk about school. Tomorrow is JSL leadership training. And I'm the one of the five organisers organising the games. The games hopefully will be fun to the JSLs.

Oh yeah, I also recieved my two HL2 shirts today. Nice eh?

Now to the Half-life 2 scene. Downloaded a few HL2 mods. (Mods are modifications of a game. The Half-Life 2 creators Valve giving HL2 buyers the Hammer Level editor. Allowing them to create new levels and new games (mods).) Tried all of them today.

Downloaded:

Cite 14 (not working)
The Island (not very fun)
DOOMed (too many puzzles)
Exterminator (kill anything that moves style)
Combine destiny (I play as combine FUN!)
Minerva 2 (FUNNNNNN!)

For all HL2 buyers, download mods!

Ok i guess thats all, I need to sleep early, have training 2moro.

First week of school

2007-01-07T00:19:00.000+08:00

I guess I can't post daily anymore, my mum won't let me use the computer on weekdays. Haiz.... Very few people have been visiting my blog lately. Counter still stuck at 400-450.

Ok, about school. My form teacher is Ms Teo. She's nice except when she's angry. Although some of her rules are kind of odd, overall she's ok. She teaches me English, Math, Music (?) and Science so I'll be seeing alot of her. My P.E teacher is Mr. Low, he's ok. My Chinese teacher is Lin Lao Shi. He rocks out loud! He's damn funny and a really good teacher. Hoping for a good year learning chinese from him. My preacher this year is Preacher Willy, he's very nice.
My classmates are ok, they don't really bother me much. I'm sitting beside quiet Elizabelle, she doesn't bother me luckily. Ming En and I are in the same Maths and Chinese banding classes again. Yea! My class is on the 7th floor, so I need to climb up loads of stairs every day.

I just came back from bowling, (again) I had a good game today, got 5 strikes. Top besides for Darrell. Boo him. Hahas. Had loads of fun with my cousins, danced and screamed the whole time. My Walkman phone playing the whole time with at least an earphone in my ear. I'm really a soundaholic but more about that later. After that, we celebrated Bryan's birthday there, the cake was delicious!

I went to the S'pore Poly in the morning to see the exhibition. It was really cool, the poly students are very good at building sellable items. (only if they could improve their english) There were loads of nice inventions. I even got to see a (small) UAV in action. I also saw some sumo robots fighting. It was totally different compared to NJRC's sumo competition. The matches ended much faster.

Ok, now about me being a soundaholic. Have you seen the Sony mp3 advertisment. I'm something like that. All I need is my Sony Ericsson Walkman phone and my ears.To me life is dull without sound. I must hear sound, quietness makes me nervous. From, the skrit of pencils to the speed of a guitar solo, sound is good. (except bad sounds)

I'll try and post more, due to the lack of visitors to the blog tag when you come, Thanx!

last day of the holidays.

2007-01-02T15:34:00.000+08:00

Yoday, is the last day of the holidays, school starting tommorrow. It seems like just yesterday I started Primary 5. Now the exact same day is tommorrow, time sure flies. I wonder how my friends are and if they changed in any way. Are they sporting new hair styles? How bout new glasses? ..... I guess I'm thinking too much again. Very few people are updating their blogs.

Oh yeah, back to my life. My cousins, Bryan, Ronald and Hermann stayed in my house on New Years eve, so we went home (at abt 1 a.m.) and played computer till about 2.30 a.m. then slept. My alarm from my phone woke me up at about 8.30. Ronald woke up and then went back to sleep. Bryan woke up about 10 minutes after me. I started creating a war using Half-Life 2. Created lots of Combine soldiers and civilians, armed them with mp5s and started the war. Used the chapter "Highway 17" to stage the battle. Was fun to watch the civilians beat the Combine. Then added more stuff such as antlions and fast zombies. Was fun to watch them fight but it slowed my com to a crawl.

After that I played "RISK" I suffered a crushing defeat. Guess I wasn't lucky. After that we had a bowling competition, I came out 5th out of 16 people. Not bad eh? After that, I went to watch the movie "Night at the Museum" It was a hilarious show. Here's the storyline, I had to self-type this time as Wiki had little for it.

Larry Daley is a divorced parent who always felt he's been destined for something big. Daley accepts a seemingly menial job as a graveyard shift security guard at the struggling natural history museum, to replace three retiring night watchmen: Cecil Fredericks, Gus, and Reginald. On the first night, the watchmen give Larry a instruction manual, telling him to read everything in the manual and do the instructions them quickly and in order. They also tell him not to let anything in or out of the museum. Well, then everything starts and comes to life.

It's a great and hilarious show, go watch it you'll be laughin like crazy. Ok after that, we went to my house to play. I invented another game to play, a modification of captain's ball. Had a blast playing it. After that i went to sleep at about 11 p.m.

I'm watching another anime now. Its called ".hack//the legend of the twilight bracelet" Its kinda funny.

Ok schools starting tommorrow gotta prepare, bye!

New Years Day!

2006-12-31T20:58:00.000+08:00

Wooot! we are 3 hours away from 2007, if you're reading this on 1st january then happy new year! Not going to post about today, instead, I'm going to recollect (good) memories about this year and maybe say some other stuff.

This was a great year, won loads of awards for school and myself. Such as the silver award in the NJRC's open category, the merit award in the 2006 Singapore Sports Project, won 3rd in the annual football competition and even got selected for the Singapore under 12 national team. More surprising awards including national champs in the Inter School Sports Quiz (Tough thing to follow for next years JSLs), NJRC most bizzare robot (I still don't understand how I won that), most outstanding Junior Sports Leader (JSL), Most Outstanding Model Pupil Award and the EAGLES award for the second consecutive year. Woot. Good haul this year.

Oh yea, also contributed to school events. I invented and refreed in the P5 inter-class games and erm hosted the robotics room.

I had a really fun year this year. Why does it seem that every girl I talk to becomes my girlfriend? Haiz.... happens every year but its kinda fun being teased, it makes life interesting. I guess thats the fun of school life, looking forward to the new year. I guess I can talk to girlsjust as easily as talking to boys. I wonder why people find this odd? hmm....

My cousins are having a party now. Having loads of fun. I hope i get a year of happiess and good friends. Especially some of my good friends. I hope none of the girls minds getting if and when they get implicated. hahas. Hope i meet new friends.

Oh yea i just finished a series of manga. Here's the storyline, again from Wiki.

Set four years after the .hack games, the manga follows the adventures of a pair of twins--Rena and Shugo. After winning a contest, Rena is in possession of a pair of chibi avatars in the design of the legendary .hackers known as Kite and Black Rose. After an odd occurrence, Aura appears and gives Shugo the Twilight Bracelet.

I found the story nice but I missed the humor and awkwardness of love storys, triangles and scenes.

kays, I gtg play with my cousins, bye and have a happy new year

untitled

2006-12-30T22:24:00.000+08:00

Now I'll post for today and yesterday.

First, yesterday. Mostly played with my cousin, Astro. We modified my game of "King of the Matress" into "King of the Matress : Shark attack (KOTM:SA)" The basic game of "King of the Matress" requires you to push everyone off the matress until you're the last one left. The mod "Shark Attack" is basically the same but in this mod you don't die if you get pushed off the matress until time is up and the "shark" comes. I know, I can think of lame games but I had nothing better to do with kittle resources. My grandma was furous when she saw he bed after that.

After my cousin Hermann was done with he computer, I cold finally continue with my Half-Life 2. It was a good day today, I completed 2 levels, "Anticitizen One" and "Follow Freeman". The first one requires me to lead the resistance forces throughout City 17. And the second one requires me to take out three combine generators and lead more rebels throughout the city, taking out a few striders on the way.

Then, since it was friday, my cousins came. Bryan and Ronald came first. We went to play some football downstairs with my friends, Genghis, Andy and Nathan. We played for about 1 and a half hours. It was very tiring with tall and skilful Andy being the best player there. I didn't have proper shoes so i didn't really play well.

Then, ate dinner and more cousins came. Darrell, Jolene, Jeanie, Terance came. Hermann and Jeanie both got their christmas presents. A Naruto PSP game for Hermann and a telescope for Jeanie. I gaped in awe when I saw a telescope. It was the real deal, not a child's toy telescope.

After that, we went to play some basketball downstairs. Actually, we played a mod of basketball. We played " Attacker and Defender " Another game modified by me. It offered a different kind of basketball, it involved more teamwork for the defenders. Then, we basically played around for the rest of the day.

The nest day, (today) woke up pretty late at abt 8.00, then slept until 8.30. (lazy today I know) Then went to eat noodles for breakfast. Went home, played more KOTM:SA with Astro. After that, played some HL2 and completed the game. My gravity gun was upgraded and could suck larger objects and people. It was fun using the gun to kill combine by suction.

After lunch, I went to the discovery centre to play with the Singapore's very own rifle the SAR 21. It looked like the STEYR AUG from Counter-Strike. It really looked a like. I tested the rifle (but it only shot laser rounds) on the simulator. Out of my 60 shots i killed 29 enemies. (nearly 2 shots per person) Which is pretty high compared to other people. Then, I went to the Science centre to view the iFuture exhibition. It was a cool exhibition.

well i guess I'm too tired to type anymore. Zzzzzzzz. gdnite.

Yesterday

2006-12-29T08:05:00.000+08:00

Hi, I guess I didn't post yesterday, too sleepy to post. I woke up at abt 7.30 as always.

Played some HL2 (Half-Life 2) Finally completed level 9a "Entanglement" set in Nova Prospekt. I tried 5 times just to complete one part where I had to set up 3 turrrets and defend myself from the Combine soldiers.

They took me a while to kill and they kept knocking my turrets over.

Currently in the level "Anticitizen one" where I lead a massive

rebellion against the combine. A fun level. Especially the fun of ambushing Combines around City 17. The medics in my rebellion also can heal me.

I haven't fought against a strider yet. Striders are kind of like a walking tank. They are smart and tough. They carry a pulse gun, but also have a powerful dark energy weapon that warps the space around the strider when it fires, and is devastatingly powerful, capable of destroying buildings and killing anyone in a single shot. I'm hoping to fight them soon as they are the most powerful Combine war machine.

I watched Eragon after dinner. Not a bad show but a little boring. Eragon tells the tale of a farm boy named Eragon, living in the village Carvahall in the fictional and magical world of Alagaësia. At the age of seventeen, he finds a dragon egg. From the egg hatches a dragon named Saphira. Her arrival sets off a series of events that turn his life, and many other lives, upside down. Eragon decides to keep Saphira a secret. One day he finds his uncle dead and sets out on a journey to avenge him. Accompanied by a wise storyteller named Brom, Eragon and Saphira take up the legacy of legendary dragon riders, learning the skills of magic, swordfighting and dragon-riding in preparation for his revenge against those responsible for the death of his family. He eventually joins the forces of the Varden, rebels determined to overthrow the king Galbatorix, and fights in the climactic battle of Farthen Dûr. I found the show ok but Lord of the Rings is still better.

ok, I guess thats all bye.

What is the feeling of a kiss?

2006-12-27T21:25:00.000+08:00

Hi all, I guess I've been wondering what does it feel like to be kissed. Man I'm feeling like Shinobu now. ...... Anyways, what does it feel like to be kissed by someone you like, (not your kin) What's the feeling like? Elation? Shock? Joy? Happiness? Surprise? A warm fuzzy feeling? What does it feel to be aound that person? Shy? Nervous? Increased heart rate? Does it feel nice? Why do you like the person? What is love? haiz.......

Anyway, back to my life. Today, well like yesterday, played more Half-Life 2. Sorry for the misinterpration yesterday, I still was at the level Sandtraps. I'm currently at the level Nova Prospekt, a prison. I'm using a weapon called a pheropod, takenfrom an antlion guard. It allows me to control an unlimited number of creatures called antlions. Their unlimited number and furrocious attack speed is useful in drawing fire away from me to take out the gun turrets. very useful indeed.

After that did some homework and then played more Half-Life 2, I used a cheat to unlock the last level and tried to play it but my com was way too laggy I gave up after half an hour. I hope i get more RAM for my com. Then, I watched some TV and took a nap.

Ok, ate dinner at about 6.30, then tried to find some mods for Half-Life 2. I found some but I couldn't get steam to show the game. darn, I was hoping to play some of them. Anyone know how to do it? send me an e-mail or tag. I hope i can complete Half-Life 2

ok, I guess thats all, bye

today, boxing day.

2006-12-26T22:13:00.000+08:00

And no, boxing day is not a day where you punch people, its the day after christmas day.

Today, woke up sleepily at 7.30. Played somemore Half-Life 2. I played the free level Lost Coast this time. Gave up after I got stuck. I've just read the guide, maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Oh yeah my computer is not fit for HL2. Hl2 requires 1000mb RAM and a high graphics card for me to fully appreciate it but alas mine is an old com with 756 RAM and a low quality graphics card. So Hl2 lags whenever there are moving vehicles which is quite often. I also can't get HDR lighting for Lost Coast. Currently at the level Nova Prospekt, which means a new prospective in polish I think. I just completed the level Sandtraps which really means its name, the level is set on antlion infested beaches which I feel is one of the toughest, second only to Ravenholm, a scary zombie infested town.

Oh yeah, I also helped my cousin Jeanie make a blog. Its now under the links section. Go visit.

Breaking news! Chelsea drew with Reading with an own goal from Ashley Cole. Thanx! Yea! They dropped 2 points, Woot. All Man Utd need to do now is win it and they go 4 points (?) clear. Glory Glory Man Utd! Glory Glory Man Utd!

Didn't really do much today, an unusually short post.

Christmas day.

2006-12-25T23:14:00.000+08:00

Today, Christmas day, finally. Cristmas Eve was a blast. I went to my cousin's Darell's house to celebrate Christmas. My friends Ming En and Shermane also gave me presents. Shermane gave me a hand-stitched bookmark and Ming En gave me a waterbottle. Thanx guys!

This year, we had a different Christmas celebration. First the children would write three things that they wanted on a piece of paper. At 12 midnite the adults would randomly choose two pieces, then interview the chldren on what they wanted most. Then they would select a present from the three. And by amazing coincidence I wrote Half-Life 2 and got Half-Life 2. And unlike the other cousins who had to wait to next week to get the present, I could just download it off Steam. Yay. I spent a few hours playing it this morning and I say it is the best game I've ever played. They add intriguing puzzles to a first person shooter. And like many other reviewers I give it a 10.

For those who don't know, heres the lowdown on HL2.

1998. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named “Best PC Game Ever” by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.NOW. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies

The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its
populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people people he cares about are counting on him.

The intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source®, Valve's new proprietary engine technology. Source provides major enhancements in:

Characters - Advanced facial animation system delivers the most sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. With 40 distinct facial "muscles," human characters convey the full array of human emotion, and respond to the player with fluidity and intelligence.

Physics - From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, as they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy.

Graphics - Source’s shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to create movies such as Toy Story® and Monster's, Inc.®, creates the most beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game.

AI - Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. They can assess threats, navigate tricky terrain, and fashion weapons from whatever is at hand.

Today I also went bowling! It was great, although I'm quite lousy at the sport, I scored a lucky strike. I felt I had improved compared to when I started. I can't really emphasise much more. awwww.

K i gtg sleep now. gdnite.

today. Saturday, The eve of the eve of christmas

2006-12-23T23:14:00.000+08:00

My cousin Hermann stayed at my house today. He told me to wake him up today, so i used my phone as an alarm clock. today morning, when the alarm clock rang, i thought i was dreaming and i guess i slept somemore. Five minutes later, I finally realised that i wasn't dreaming and woke up. lol.

Today, I went for football training, had a horrible game. I played horribly. Let in two stupid goals. haiz. .....

In the evening, I went for a church musical, choreographed by my cousin Janelle. It was a cool musical, with very nice dance moves. It had some very nice songs. While singing the songs, I felt like I was back in school which is starting soon.

I'm watchin EPL (English Premier League) now. Manchester United vs Aston Villa. Its been a great match so far, both teams are playing very fast paced and exciting football. I hope Man United doesn't repea last week's lost to West Ham. They have o win to stay at th top of the league.

Ok, I'm sleepy. gdnite,

Fave character

2006-12-22T17:25:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Today was pretty fun. 1st I went to a youtube video. It was about a boy who could memorise all 5o capitals of american states. I was shocked at the amount of americans who mistook an Indian for an arab and even more at the amount of racist comments. People even said hes going to bomb all 50 american capitals. I guess people like these are adding to the stereotype that americans are idiotic racists. I guess there were a lot of people saying that.

this is the URL:

http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=RIH1I1doUI4&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3DRIH1I1doUI4 all_comments&v=RIH1I1doUI4&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3DRIH1I1doUI4

Oh yeah, today also seached youtube and google video for more Magister Negi Magi videos. My favourite character so far is Nodoka. A cute and shy girl. She has a crush on Negi and is very cute when she's around him. Lols. According to the manga, she should play a major role in the story.

Her magical artifact is the "Diarium Ejus", a diary that shows the thoughts of any person she speaks the name of. A humorous joke concerning her artifact is that her fantasies about Negi are also shown, including thoughts of French-kissing him. During the first day of the festival, she invited him to a date where she gained enough courage to kiss him a second time.

Oh yeah I need people to help me find out why i cant transfer videos into my phone. I can transfer but i only can hear the sound i cant see the video. Awwww.... Can anyone help me.

Kz my cousins are coming soo. I gtg bye.

today

2006-12-21T21:19:00.000+08:00

Hi all, I guess my blog URL may be a misnomer, I guess when you look back my life isnt so boring. Hahas. I guess today was like any other day. I watched the 1st version of Magister Negi Magi on google video (surprisingly). The videos I watched yesterday was the remake. These ones arent as funny but follows the manga closely.

Blaaaaaaaarg! (expression of anger. ) damned com is laggin! Blarrrrrgg! I guess i need more RAM. Haiz. Anyways if you're wondering where I got the word Blaaaarrrrg. I got it from the funny (but vulgar) Red vs Blue. A Halo 2 Machinima. (maybe incorrect spelling) A Machinima is where people make movies or shows by using a game engine such as Halo. In a machinima, people move the characters body while playing the game and filming it. For Machinimas just search "Halo funny" on Youtube.com. Machinimas are usually funny. My favourite is Red vs Blue.

One of the funny lines are.

Sarge: I need you to give me a boost.

Caboose (dumb) : You are a very good person. People say nice things about you.

Sarge: Not a morale boost you moron. A physical boost, I need to see through that window.

Caboose: I don't think you can see through that window.you are too small.

Sarge: Thats why I need you to help me see throgh that window.

Caboose: I am too small to see throgh it. And my head is round that window is square.

Sarge: Come here you.

Sarge boosts caboose up to see through that window.

Sarge: what do you see?

Caboose: I see some walls and some ceilings. Wait only one ceiling.

Hahas.

Ok you may not understand it now but when you go watch it, you'll laugh at the voice acting. Okays i guess thats all i'll post for now. Bye.

Today

2006-12-20T22:08:00.000+08:00

Woke up at abt 7 a.m. Lazed around for abit, then ate my breakfast. Ok this is getting boring. Hahas. moving on, watched some Halo Vids after that. K, skipping to some "interesting parts" After that watched Magister Negi Megi. Its an anime which rocks out loud!

Story:

Negi Springfield is a ten year old wizard from Wales who dreams of becoming a Magister Magorum (latin translation: teacher of magic), special wizards who use their powers to help normal people.

Negi's reason for becoming a Magister is to find his father, Nagi Springfield, the

legendary mage also known as the "Thousand Master" who many believe to be dead.

After graduating from the Merdiana Magic Academy in Wales, he is given a duty as a cover in the real world, and training, before he actually becomes a Magister Magorum. That duty is to become an English teacher at Mahora Academy in Japan. The task will not be easy, however, as Negi will become a teacher to a middle school class of 31 older girls, each very special in her own way. The series details his time and adventures in Japan as he gains acceptance and respect from his students, helps them in their problems, and faces magical threats from inside and outside Mahora Academy. Taken from Wikipaedia (too lazy to do myself. Hahas)

For a ten year old, Negi is very mature and popular with nearly all his pupils (Nearly all of them have crushes on him). The most interesting part is pactio, where Negi can give his *partners* power to help him fight. For people to become partners, they will have to kiss Negi on his lips while standing in a magical circle (with odd reactons from the girls.) I feel the anime is much funnier than the manga, but the manga's story has more depth. I would recomend you guys to watch it. go to youtube and seach for "Negima episode 1".

All the Negima fans who found any info off please dont kill me.

K, after watchin those hillarious episodes I went to brush up my robot and try to program it.

The program had a few problems but the pump system for my robot is much more refined now.

After that i went to tuition. Not much to explain.

Then came home, ate dinner, and went to the library to complete the last activities for the holiday hmwk.

After that went home, watched more Negima, laughed somemore and then started writing this post. hahas.

Kay, i guess thats all for my day.

K guys so the holidays have been pretty boring so far..... not much to do. The only way I've survived boredom so far is by Windows (MSN) Messenger and my trusty little gadget: The W850i Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone. My phone truly rocks! All except the text messaging size. Hahas. My 2gb mem card is half filled. So anyone with nice songs send me please! I'm listening to the Love Hina opening theme everyday. Its so addictive. Hahaz My favourite part is the last part:

te wo nobashite. te wo nobashite.ryoto agete!
Translation: Reach out your hand. Reach out your hand.Raise up both your hands!

Ok back to the subject. Went out of point there. I think Keisha (Frm Fa5) has it worse than me. (no offence) She is bored to the point that she SMSes me like everyday. Lol. But her messages are pretty funny and she amuses me with her odd remarks. At least she also keeps me out of dying frm boredom. (No one better get any funny ideas now)

Today was a boring day. Raining again so i couldnt go and play football. Awwww. Spent some time doing some Chinese hmwk. Completed building my gamerobot. Now to program. But I'm too lazy to program now. Hahas. Seriously, programming (With NXT expecially ) is hard and tiring. Non programmers may not understand but when you are programming its mostly trial and error and you can expect the robot to move in a totally different way than you thought. So I hope you understand why I dont want to program now.

Ok now I would like you guys after reading this to go see my two Halo Music Videos. You can find a link to them at the link section. Go and watch them and if you have a Youtube account comment please.

Ok I gtg. My hungry for some oreos. Bye

P.S. I got the EAGLES award of $120

Christmas

2006-12-18T19:30:00.000+08:00

hi all,

Today I'm happy to announce that the blog has hit 200 ppl. I hope that all of u guys can continue visiting and I'll try to beat my cuz who has 2000+ ppl. (A hard task I know but I know u guys will continue visiting. Hahas) Tell everyone about the site and what u want to do with it.(Example: Discussion topics, More of something, Polls, etc, etc) Comment in the tagboard please. I'll try and answer all suggestions.

Okz, Today I started on my Chinese Holiday hmwk. (Late I know.) I found some of the activities quite lame. I mostly had to draw. (I hate drawing) I did a few activites. I did'nt know how to do most. My Chinese SUX. I still have 7 more activities to do. Haiz... My English is doing much better, I have one last activity to do.

Guess i gotta start studying, PSLE nxt year. One year passes too quickly. This year was my best year in Pei Hwa, the first year where I (feel I) was really sociable. I talked to my friends more, interacted with them and won a few awards. Ms Lai was a great teacher too, even though most of my class complained that she was overly strict most of the time but she was right, dicipline is everything. Up till now I still can't figure out how I won the most bizzare robot award at the NJRC. ...Clueless...

Finally found an invention to build. I'm gonna build a game which asks the player to try and keep the "cart" on a see-saw for as long as possible. The see-saw is controlled by pneumatics (which is immensly difficult to control) and the pumping done by the RCX. Ok you guys may not understand half the things I've just said but when i finish it (if I finish it) I'll post a pic. The bad thing is that in order to build my invention, I need to destroy my beloved AWP/AWM. If you don't know whats an AWP/AWM its an Actic Warfare Magnum, FYI i did not come up with that name. I took 5 hours to build and refine and 5 minutes to rip. Awww. Really going to miss that Magnum. Hahas. I guess Hermann would be out of a weapon. lol.

Kz my walkman phone really rox. Nearly all my cousins who actually use their phones a lot a changing from Nokia to Ericcson.

Oh yea, Christmas is coming, I guess my three wishes for Christmas are:

Happiness for the next year

Good results

Good relationships with my friends.

And the 3 things I would like to have this Christmas

Halo 2 Soundtrack

Halo Soundtrack

Walkman desktop speakers.

K, I guess thats all,

Bye!

Magic Show

2006-12-17T10:30:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, another fun day! First went to football training. But instead of training we played 11v 11 games. Well, I had a quiet game, my defence was just too strong. I made a few good saves including a tip-over. Then went home and well modified my blog. After that went to a cool magic show. The tricks were like so damn cool lah. There was one where the a guy took the place of a guy standing on top of the box and the guy went in the box, the girl who was in the box went to somewhere else. It was like so damn cool! Its actually a musical performed by a church. A touching story.

Anyways I'm still wondering why nobody is online! Its the holidays. And well my holiday hmwk is not close to complete. hahas.

Well i guess thats all.

Bye guys

New skin

2006-12-16T12:01:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Noticed i've changed skin. well obviously! hahas. Had a blast yesterday. Shermane, Ming En, Daniel and Ren Hao came. We played LF2 for the most part, but for some odd peculiar reason Shermane didn't want to play or sit down for that fact. At least she laughed though. Astro played with us too. We had an unusually noisy game of LF2. hahas.

After that they went home and i sent Ming En home. Then my Cousins came. Well only Terance, Jeanie, Jolene and Janelle came. I had a chat with Terance about the superior qualities of ericsson compared to Nokia.

ABCDEFG

A Boy Can Do Everything For Girls

Lol.

Read this at my cousin's blog.

Very emo.

2006-12-07T11:22:00.000+08:00

Holidays habve been "productive" Halo Crazy now. Listening to "Halo: The Spartans" everyday at full blast. Gt loads of Halo songs to upload to my phone which BTW is a Sony Ericsson W810i. YAY walkman. The speakers are like earplugs it gives you the best music experience ever!

Not really touched my holiday hmwk yet. XD. find it kinda stupid.

Well i guess thats all, This is Kevin signing off.

sry for long wait...

2006-08-10T19:51:00.000+08:00

Sry about the long wait for a post i was too tired to post.

Ok a summary of what happened these few weeks.

Robotics:
My group is done with our robot for the NJRC. The robot is quite tall. Arrg. I'm finding it quite hard to program without a 3d playfield. GRR! Ms Nora finally let me join the open category. She lent me a box of parts. I've finished with it. It has the lego cam and uses the chassis from Miguel Agullo's BSCP "Bississippi" from http://http://technicpuppy.miguelagullo.net/BSCP/bscpindex.html

The robot has 5 meters of cable and uses a nifty remote control from the mindstorms' masterpeices book. I will post the pictures later.
The NJRC research journal in nearly done. I just need to sift through the 12 pages of info and complete the journal tomorrow.

Well on to other stuff. I broke my handphone yesterday. The two axles supporting the slide broke off. I don't belive it a nokia slide phone only has two axles supporting it. So, since it could'nt be repaired, I used a some lego parts and built an exo-skeleton for my phone. Now it can slide again. And all of it with lego.

The Ndp parade rox! I pity those that missed it. This year the parade had a very high tempo compared to the previous parades, and the fireworks were spactacular.

Well i can't type about other things cuz I've forgotten them, so dats all...

Hey

2006-07-25T14:18:00.000+08:00

Whoop! Robotics fest was damn fun but tiring. Whole day talk talk talk talk talk. Ms Lim said that I presented very well to the visitors. The mascot fell and broke into pieces twice after all the supports failed! went home and used wheels instad of friction reducers for support so much better now. During the fest, loads of people asked about the mascot. one person even interviewed me about it. WOW! I did'nt think people would actually be so interested in it. WHOOOP! Mr Ang's remote control ROX!

Well, today school was funny. Instead of Mrs Ee doing science we had a releif teacher which went to the robotics fest wif me. During class he was telling jokes, then suddenly, he said "Eh... is that you?" Then he elaborate about what i did during the robotics fest. In the end, he let me go off early. Whoop!

Now I'm listening to the MR brown show! So funny! You should listen to it!

Well datz all!

Hey!

2006-07-17T20:29:00.001+08:00

Hey people,

sorry for the long wait for a post, too busy getting prpared for the NJRC! Woohooo! Mr Ang (robotics trainer) has finally lent me a remote control for the school mascot. I have a remote control to drive it around! So cool! I'm asking Yahoo, Popular, Toys "R" Us, The Coacoa Trees for sponsorship. If they accept can win financial award liao. Well, during the NJRC mission breifing, they showed MIDO, the mascot i built last year and with me posing next to it.

Now on to school,

ARRGH! I failed the stupid standing boroad jump for NAPHA! Like how can they expect us to train when we have so little time eh? Last year they announced it in march and gave us more time to train and the test was in JUNE! This year they annonced it in may and tested us in april. Then I also did not even practice the standing broad jump! This year the number of people who failed also went up. Damn now need to go for remedial on tuesday and thursdays and i have duty on those days!

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

Well, datz all

xSchoolsx =x

2006-07-04T18:51:00.000+08:00

Haiz.... finally got past the first week of shcool, finally used to waking up early.

I have quite a bad cough. darn! Worse off i also have a loose tooth so it is very painful when i eat anything. can't enjoy meals... could'nt even finish my dinner.

School's been fine so far, not much to say about that.

Ok.... About football now.....

The FAS (Football association of Singapore) is a bloody liar. They are not determined to train us at all 53 people are selected for the training, 20 are supposed to go for this supposed competiton in Japan. They say that if we don't do well in our studies, we can't play. There are some people who rule in football but are not so good in their studies and the FAS are just not going to give them a chance to play ahnd Singapore will miss a talent. And then they also said they will call us to start training, if they were really determined to train us they would start training immediately. And they also lured us to the finals of the competiton - I was not participating - by saying that there was a trial, I spent the entire day preparing and they told us to be there by 3 p.m. We went at 3, we waited and waited but they only needed us to fill up a form and take a photo with the minister. Bloody liars made me waste an entire day!

Well too angry to type anymore so thats all

start of schoolsxxxx!

2006-06-26T15:51:00.000+08:00

well.... heres the upadate for the last wk of june hols...... School has started!!!!!!!!!! no!!!!!!!!

I finally bothered to do the chinese project- the postcard- the man at the photoshop thought i was so smart to compile all the photos into the postcard.LOL! now its superduper easy thing to do.

The P5 camp was super superduper fun. I would recomend it to ani p5 this year. I really pity the people whio missed it. sad for them........ During the nature hike my shoes got drenched in mud after I stepped in it. The rest of activities were fun. too bad i did'nt try flying fox my fren said damn fun! Haiz. ... The food sux though. Sleeping also a little bit problem, stupid frogs kept croaking the whole night! Also veri cold there. BRRRRRR............

There was the quarter finals for the street soccer competition. Sadly two teamates were horrible traitors! They played for their schools and our club! So we had to send in the reserves! We lost two matches horribly and won 1 4-2 after a stunning comeback. I was quite a good goalkeeper if i say so myself. I think a scout spotted me. When i went in to play, he pointed to his colleague and pointed at me. Later he asked me how old i was and what school i came from AND IF i WAS CHINESE OR NOT. Wonder why. I hope i can go to Japan.

Haiz school start liao got to finish mascot for robotics exibition. nearly done only need the remothe frm mr Ang! Hope he dun forget again.

IO still can't get used to school. relax too much liao! Must try to study! Wait thats Must study! LOL! PSLE next year xia!

Well datz all

June hols

2006-06-20T21:24:00.000+08:00

Hey sorry for the long wait for a post. I'm finally enjoying the holidays. Playing with my bionicle conversions everyday veri fun. Finally done all my homework. YIPEE! I finished my books and started on a new seiries: MECH Warriors- Dark Age

I had a football competiton last saturday and it was loads of fun! The winner of the competiton will go to JAPAN! i think unless the coaches are lying. The first match we cruised to an easy 3-0 victory. My teamates are really skilled! I made a few good saves myself. Second match was quite a dissapointment. The opponents skipped past our defence twice and scored on both occasions. Stupid 1 on 1 situations. but my teamates scored twice to equalised! In the final minutes of the game, the ball was sailing towards my goal i expected an easy catch but since it was a street soccer court, it hit the roof and went in and we lost 3-2! The last match we cruised 3-1 and we went to the quarter FINALS!

learnt how to cycle again and went cable skiing. I never want to do it again. turns out I'm afraid of the murky water and jellyfish

well, thats all!

really boredz

2006-06-10T11:04:00.000+08:00

After the party, we went to the prata shop nearby and had some supper.

This monday, I was inspired by the new lego EXO-force and created my own out of visorak (bionicle) pieces.

ok now on to maple

I left ludi yesterday. felt sick of climbing up and down EOS tower. After doing the quest, i got a few random sacks to summon some monsters. A guy I dun really like was AFKing in the ellinia station. I summoned it and a few minutes later he was dead. HAHA! Den i summoned it in henesys and killed a noob.

Now i'm training on copper drake.

Just another post

2006-05-29T19:16:00.000+08:00

Well here's the update........

Sports day is finally over. We just sat there for four hours talking to friends. The school track team won in nearly every event. The school medals for the mass games are getting cheaper every year.

Primary 1 cool trophies for the top 3
The same
the same but lame trophies
lame trophies and only the first gets it
A pin for the first

Haiz.....

The meet the parent's session was ok and Ms lai said that my comprehension is not so good. So now I'm thinking of going to compre class.

Today:

Today's supplementary was so boring. I lost my watch but my dad mysteriously got it back. I wondered how he did it.

I went to play football for 2 hours. Me and justin played with tiny boys who spoke what sounded like Korean. After that I played with Rajeev and two other brothers who were friends of Justin's.

One of the brothers were super competitve and fought for every ball and screamed at every tiny foul. This was a super exiting match with 4 penalties, 2 for each side. Our two penalties went in but their penalties were all saved. This was the scoreline at first

My team: 3 Rajeev team: 0

2 minutes later

3:1

Justin subsituted for Rajeev's sister

3:2

Revick subsituted for justin

4:3

Final score an 7 (an hour game) My team 4 Rajeev's team 3!!!!

I really have to thank revick for his two opening goals and Justin for his last minute stops.

well..... thats all for now
