Holy Spirit, thou art welcomeee in this placeee~
(Monday, November 24, 2008/12:56 AM)

It's a pity I couldn't commit myself to the 5 days of Asia Conference. Had a shitload of revision to do. I've been chionging past year CS2102 (database systems) papers like mad, trying to read every relevant page in my 1000+ pages thick CS2105 (computer network) textbook, and reading 12 JS (Japanese Studies) articles which are on average, 30+ pages long, referring to Wikipedia like mad to prepare a good essay outline for my exam this coming Friday. Whew, I got awhile more to go before I can say 'otsukaresamadeshita' (it has been tiring and tough on u) to myself! =S

But I knew I had to go to Pastor Benny Hinn's service on Saturday. I felt a little lonely and reluctant because all my friends couldn't make it. The devil threw tribulations in the way to deter me, as my stomach ailment cranked up before that. But I knew I had to go regardless of whatever happens.

I think the Lord was trying to cheer me up. All the way from Lakeside, I sat beside this cute girl, who looked like the petite version of Kelly Poon, and coincidentally, she's going for Pastor Benny's service as well! It seemed too good to be true, but a 2nd coincidence occurred when she sat in front of me during the service! Hope to see her more often *lol* =)

The people gathered for his meeting was unbelievable. I reached an hour earlier, but even then, I had to sit in the SECOND overflow hall, at Hall 7. Wow, just wow. I've learnt my lesson. I should come at least 2 hours beforehand next time. Although we watched the service through just an LED screen, the anointing was immensely tangible.

I was praying for a healing for myself, but it didn't come to pass. I guess Pastor Kong was right when he said that prayer and fasting beforehand by yourself are equally as important as Pastor Benny's healing anointing. And I was too caught up with my studies to properly devote time to the Lord. But I'm not giving up, and I promise I'll build up my faith before going for any healing ministry next time!

LoL, alot of friends seem intrigued by my girlfriend criteria. Kan, my NM3216 project mate, said that he has a friend who scored very high, given my criteria. But knowing his character, as a sadistic teaser, he wouldn't let me see her picture. =( Oh well, he wanted to cheer me up from all the exam stress, so I guess I should appreciate his gesture instead *lol*.

Kristal asked me to rate her and our mutual girl-friends! And I did. Hmmm, seems that some of my girl-friends are scoring precariously close to 70, and I'm not even feeling the slightest bit of romantic feelings for them, so I gotta tweak my score system abit. For now, maybe I'll raise the minimum requirement to 75 or 80.

But besides the section on looks, the other sections apply to evaluating friends as well, so I guess it can't be helped if good friends score rather high, great gal pals such as Kristal and Debbie! =) But no worries, there are no romantic feelings at all. =P

My feelings for my eye candy in church kinda died down, which is a good thing, I guess. I hate feeling lovesick all the time. Since JC, not 1 girl managed to keep my heart fluttering 24/7, so much so that I'll need to think of her first before I can go to sleep *ROFL*! Hoping to meet the next girl who'll give me that long forgotten feeling of puppy love, and hopefully it'll evolve into something mutual? =)

Argh... No time to think about girls at this critical juncture... I'll need to fully concentrate on exams and glorify the Lord in my studies for now... Haha! Okies, I'll rest up for yet another full day of mentally gruelling revision tomorrow! And hopefully, the construction ceases and my brother won't be such an ass and blast his computer games and dramas when I'm trying hard to study. =S Ja, mata ne, minna! =)

Darn construction renovations...
(Saturday, November 15, 2008/12:05 AM)

Darnit... The construction work over at my block is irritating me to the max... I get woken up everyday before 9 AM without fail... And how the heck am I supposed to study in such an environment!? Hmph >:( To make matters worse, my mother told me that she received a HDB notice that my ah neh neighbours upstairs is going to renovate their flat.

WALAO EH! They've irritated the hell outta me for many many years already. Especially their son. He loves blasting bhangra music during the evening, when I'm FRIGGIN' trying to NAP, after a hard day of school work. And he does his exercise regime frequently, sometimes even late at night. I can hear the squeaking of his sneakers as he runs around in his house RIGHT ABOVE me. Can't Singaporeans be a little more considerate? >:( And when I think that was the end of my troubles... They wanna renovate their flat??? Wassupwitdat!?

I feel as if I'm living in some kind of a slum now. Construction dust is polluting the air, banglas outnumber the locals in my area, pests are breeding as a consequence of the construction work dirtying the area. For me, suffering sneezing bouts were rare in the past. But now, I can 'combo chain' more than 10 times in a row, probably due to dust allergy. Just great, man...

Everywhere I go, there's construction work. New shopping malls are being built in JE and Clementi. Buona Vista and City Hall are clogged up by the Circle Line construction. Orchard is undergoing a massive revamp. I can't think of any place in Singapore which isn't affected. I wanna say something sensitive relating to politics, but naw... Rather not risk it, lest I get charged, like those stupid racist bloggers some years back. =P

They were doing massive drilling right outside my flat, in order to retile the common corridor. Luckily, I was meeting Ivan and Kristal for lunch, so I could escape that horrendous living hell I was suffering from. The only available lift was not WORKING, and I had to tiptoe on the dirty mess of drilled concrete, going past sweaty construction workers, and trying to hold my breath as I walked through the cloud of dust, and walk down 9 storeys past sacks of cement blocking the stairways. Omg, totally traumatic, man.

Well, on a lighter note, I was glad to meet up Ivan and Kristal for lunch, although I felt a little lazy and was slightly worried that a day of enjoyment would set me back in my study revision by alot. But oh well, I have exactly 2 weeks before my 1st exam, so I should have sufficient time... I hope at least *lol*! Michelle couldn't make it on the last minute, for unknown reasons. So, it's just the 3 of us this time round...

We went to a Hong Kong cafe at Vivo, called KimGary. Funny name, but apparently, it's quite popular. I'm quite nonchalant regarding good food in Singapore. My philosophy is that as long as my stomach is filled, and the food's acceptable, it's fine by me. So, I learn new things regarding food everytime I'm out with Ivan *rofl*. It should come in handy when the time comes for me to seriously consider dating a girl. If I don't know any good restaurants with nice food and ambience, I'd probably fail terribly HAHA! =)

We shopped for a little while, and Ivan commented how Singaporeans follow a safe and mundane fashion trend, instead of being daring trend-setters like the Japanese. My sentiments alike. And he has a distaste for guys who follow the NUM fashion style and think they're cool when they're acutally not. Speaking of the devil, we saw a botak scrawny fair-skinned guy, who wore a singlet and short bermudas, with slippers and a bag slung over his shoulder. Omg, super duper gay. =S

I acknowledge the fact that I'm fair, so I shouldn't pursue the 'Singaporean' fashion style. Right now, I'm trying to follow the Japanese fashion style. Most of the Japanese guys are also fair-skinned. Trying to go along the path of new age metrosexual Japanese style, but not to the extreme of being too gay. =P My newly imported bag from Japan is my first step towards that goal. Gotta shop at either the Central or Bugis, which I heard has Japanese fashion. I'm sooo not gonna be the boring mundane Singaporean guy.

Ivan wanted to drink some beer after awhile, so he went to a casual pub within Vivo, and ordered 1 litre to be shared between Kristal and him. All thanks to my stomach ailment, I could only drink tea. But it's all good, since I hate alcohol anyway *lol*. We started cam-whoring before we left, and Ivan said he looked good using my phone's camera, and asked me take some more pictures LOL!


Here's Ivan hogging the camera lolx =)

That hand at the bottom of my face is Kristal's hand by the way. Looks like my hand right? LOL!

Ahhh finally, a pic which Ivan took a backseat HAHA!

Talked a little gibberish-y today, possibly cos' of my flu. I'll be sharing the offering message for tomorrow's CGM so I better get a hold of my tongue ASAP *lol*! Hope to catch up with all you close friends out there after my exams! =)

Final lap to go!
(Monday, November 10, 2008/11:08 PM)

Wooo got lotsa new stuff this week! First up, I finally received my long-awaited bag from Japan! Shipping taxes and commission fees were damn expensive, as expected from a country of Japan's calibre. I better pay my credit bills subtly without my mum realizing, or else I'll probably get slaughtered. =S

Kristal asked me to post up pics of my bag but I was too bogged down by project work over the weekend and I didn't manage to blog on Sunday, which I would do usually. Now, she's already seen it so I guess there's not much point in posting them up, right? Oh well, if anybody besides my NUS friends and church clique is reading this, it might still be relevant to u. =)


Front view... =)


Back view!!! =P

Oh, and if u're wondering why am I wearing such a loud shirt, it's the birthday present my cell group bought for me, haha! Ok la, it's not too bad, but I don't really fancy shirts with skulls on it. I prefer elaborate eagle or angel wings, and maybe Christian cross designs. But at least this time, the CG present is relevant for once! I've not worn or used any of my previous CG presents lol!

Wow, the pictures taken by my phone really sucks. Speaking about that... I'VE JUST GOT MY NEW PHONE AFTER 2 YEARS! It was so coincidental, and felt almost as if God has a part to play in this. I went for my usual doctor's appointment at Mount Elizabeth over at Orchard. After which, my family had lunch together, and we passed by this Sony Ericsson roadshow, showcasing their newest product launched on that very day itself, Sony Xperia X1.

I wasn't convinced to get that over a new Cybershot phone or iPhone, but I decided to give it a shot at the Singtel outlet at Takashimaya. The salesperson thoroughly convinced me to get the X1 over iPhone, and man, I'm not regretting my choice! With launch promotion, mobile plan and mio plan renewal discount, and trade-in, the phone costs only slightly over $400. Not bad for a phone which is newly launched at a retail price of over $1000! =)

My brother was super anti-Windows Mobile and was bragging how superior his iPhone was. But he's always that way when my parents buy something for me. He'll have plenty of comments to dampen my mood. =( Windows Mobile does seem a little slow in loading, but it's fine by me. Now, I can check my email and log on MSN without needing to carry my clunky laptop around in school. =)

And Janet Yang! Those photos at Diana's wedding are still mostly ur cam-whoring! Gosh... How about those photos which I took with Elson and Kelvin? Are those in another camera? Sigh... And the only shot which I don't look horrendous is in this blurry pic with Bro Darren, where I was trying to stick my head out to get in the picture. -_-"

Pfft... Forget it... What's most important are the wonderful memories we had of Diana's wedding. =) So friggin' glad I cleared most of my projects today... Left one dumb physics essay. 5000 required words of gibberish, and how can the lecturer expect us to avoid plagiarism completely? Apparently, we need to use our own derivations of physicists' theories, but c'mon la, who the HECK can beat Einstein's brilliant interpretations of his own theories!? -_-"

Oh well, the physics test today wasn't as horrendous as I envisioned it to be. Hopefully, I won't have to activate my first S/U option so soon, although I have a very bad feeling that I'd have to S/U this module. I swear never to take a Science GEM or breadth ever... EVER AGAIN. Japanese Studies all the way! Even if I have to take it alone, since none of my closer friends are into Japanese culture... :(

Final lap of this semester... Gotta glorify the Lord with my studies... Please keep me in your prayers, my beloved W429 friends! =)

IMA INDIAN RAPPER DUHHH!!!
(Tuesday, November 4, 2008/12:01 AM)

Finally, the long awaited wedding day of our beloved cell group leader, Diana, arrived! It was a nice time of gathering amongst us close church friends, whilst soaking in the joyous atmosphere! Diana looked like a princess on her wedding day. :) Here's wishing the anointed couple of Lawrence and Diana an everlasting blissful marriage, and as Pastor Meng said, praying for little Lawrences and Dianas running around soon LOL! =D

As usual, the girls from my CG were furiously cam-whoring, so much so that some of our church guys such as Elson and Joseph were genuinely amazed by this W429 "phenomenon" lol! Get used to it guys! =P I'll upload some pictures (which I look nice in, of cos' LOL) once they've done their job of uploading them first. :)

Jumping a week back, we had our last Youth Em event, where I was told by my buddy KC on the eleventh hour that I was supposed to perform the rap for the contest. -_-" I was a little nervous cos' I didn't had much preparation, but nevertheless, our signature Indian accent won us the 'best rapper' award, so it was all good at the end of it all *lol*! Janet has been our 'manager', advertising the Youtube link to the video on everyone's blog. Sigh, so may as well put it here. =S



KC has always been the enthu one to grab any chance to perform on stage, and I'm always the hesitant, passive one, unsure of how my performances would be received by the audience (Will I be lame? Will I get jeered at? =S). Yet, when on stage, I'd just subconsciously lose myself and get into my daring 'stage persona', whereas my buddy always get the jitters *lol*!

It may not seem obvious in the video, but he was gradually losing his Indian accent towards the end of the clip, and I'm the one who was consistently doing those Indian mannerisms ie. shaking head, acting like a clown etc. *rofl*! And we were to supposed to do a Russell Peters joke too, but my buddy just got a mental block on stage LOL!

The feeling of winning an award, a long year and a half hiatus after last year's Emerge Talentime felt good. $30 Capitaland vouchers which were used to bless our CG with Swensen's desserts later in the evening. =) To some extent, it re-ignites the passion in me to sing and perform, although the rapping contest was just plain slapstick and doesn't require much of our talents lol!

The devil's been putting this feeling of self-inferiority for all my life. I'll promise to conquer this barrier and grab every opportunity to glorify God with my talent when it comes by! =)

This is random but... I FOUND THE BLOG OF MY CRUSH! Yays! :) KC said that was abit stalker-ish. To some extent, it is *lol*. That's what happens when I get infatuated, but don't worry, my logic and reasoning still overrule my emotions. =)

Here's my wonderful cell group of W429!


Cya guys soon! ^^
