today's my bdae. so is kai's and calvin's. well. tho its my bdae..im not realli very happy abt it. no..its not tt im upset coz no one remembers my bdae..in fact i was touched to receive so many sms-es from so many ppl - some whom i dun even know they know my bdae.

i guess its the hurts and disappointment and rejection im gettin tt causing me to be in this state. of coz i cant say wat and who here. this the worst bdae ive been thru. i wasnt feelin any joy even tho its my bdae. mayb its part of growin up. bdae isnt such a GREAT thing when ur older. but it felt like today's juz like any other day to me. i even cancelled dinner celebration tonite. coz i simply din want to juz b wif anyone. i simply din want to see anyone.

ha. guess wat. i woke up giving myself a present - a slap. and i simply refuse to open any of my presents. its not me being paranoid or wat..but im simply feelin VERY DOWN.

im not askin u to haf pity on me. im not even askin anytin out of ya. im juz ranting. its my blog. i write wat i like.

i know the devil is playin wif my mind...he is causing me to draw away frm God. i know. but i need time. i need time. i need time...

MY BEST FRIEND...
05.16.04 (8:26 am)   [edit]
2306hrs

u know the song - JESUS, YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND...truly, He is my best friend. but wat realli intrigue me was just's blog on the topic [i]soul mates[/i]. tt sets me thinking...Jesus is my spritual best friend, but what about earthly best friend? im not trying to be worldly here, but really...do i haf an earthly best friend, or soul mate, as just's puts it.

just had a very detailed description what a best friend is -

Soulmates
Have you ever stopped to wonder if you'll ever find a soulmate?

Does a soulmate equate to a life-long partner? I think a soulmate and a life-long partner (a.k.a husband/wife) can be two separate entities. Like how we can have a best friend and a boyfriend. It works the same way.

Soulmates are tough to find.

They know you're upset even when you're smiling. They can see your inner struggles and your inner demons. They know exactly how you feel without you having to put it into words. They are the ones who sit by your side quietly and let you lie on their shoulder without asking any questions. They are the ones you'll call even at 5am for a listening ear. They are the ones who will forsake their own happiness just to see you smile. They are the ones who don't get irritated (even if they pretend to be) with you when you get annoying/whiny sometimes. They are the ones who are patient with you even when they are upset about something else. They are the ones who truly care amidst all the hypocrisy going on.



ye..and i hope i can consider a few of my friends, best friends. Thank God for their existance and placing them in my life...i wun say we haf reached the stage as above..but im glad tt we are takin time and the first steps to reach to such levels.

i shld read more of just's blog..its sometimes insipiring and sets me thinking....

1313hrs

wat's wif construction sites these days? first is the collapse of nichol highway, then the fusionpolis site at ayer rajah. thnx goodness im nowhere near it.

is it the sloppy work done and all those cost savings materials that account to the collapses or issit just a freak accident? if not how come both sites collapse after one another? and y was it unheard of collapse last time? not that there werent but nothing major as these 2. then again, it sets me thinking, are we digging too much? look at all the mess they have created at suntec city all straight up to paya lebar! fine. its for our comfort, but then again, arent we too pampered? spore is considered small already and we are complaining a trip frm jurong to changi is far. wat abt other countries?...

and wat abt the big hoo haa of the sparing the rod saga? i say it out loud tt spore kids are too pampered. juz a hit wif a soft cover bk and the case is reported and etc.etc.etc. wat nonsense. and to think the aunt of tt gal is a teacher! goodness. wat is the world becoming? i wonder y no one report of elaine then..

procrastinating.
04.13.04 (7:29 pm)   [edit]
1014hrs.

ye..u got me right. [i]procrastinating[/i]. life's been real gd to me i must say. suddenly, all duh projs and tests are like gone.

no. im kidding myself. i still haf an audio prac and written test, photog test, socpsy assessed tut, writcom proposal essay and cg 3D modeling. but somehow, i aint stressed. i think my gd ol' philosophy is really working. "do what your ability takes you to" and "always rest". right now, ive half way completed 3D modeling, which im really proud of myself. its IT [i]mind you[/i], and do an IT idiot, [i]this[/i] is sth oki. and i hafta just spend my morning today finishing socpsy and i can strike tt out of my list too. its really fun striking things out of ya list. its really fun.

suddenly, im so carefree. it must be God. no, im not using His name in vain. but i can really feel it. its sth you jus hafta experience it. im happy. CATS skit is finally over, and i must say we haf done well. it was duh best skit among the 4 grps. its duh fact, im not boasting. poor vincy had to stay on in sch to sit for his exam which starts only at 5. tts almost like 7 gd hours rotting. ha. and he ends at 7. poor tin. we were teasing him all the way.

and did i say tt i played for cell yesterday. oh my. tt was my first attempt and it was, well, [i]bad[/i]. to me lah, i think it was just out of place. i mean you know there are sometimes tt the music climax and stuff, well, i totally screwed it. looks like i haf to really learn the essentials of worship. its not as easy as it seems.

anyway, im really darn free these days oki. so im looking for ppl to just hang out wif..so if ya also darn free, find me. ME!

good friday.
04.09.04 (8:04 pm)   [edit]
1051hrs

its tt time of the year that we remember what jesus christ has done for us on the cross. good friday is that friday 2000 years ago where jesus walked tt road via the dolorosa to calvery to be crucified, to die for all of us. the shame he bore, the pain he endured was all for us. he could have called his angels to rescue him. he could have asked his father to set him free. but he din. because he did it for you and me. its not a lost fight. its a winning victory. because he rose on the third day, resurrected from the dead victoriously. he is alive. and we celebrate his victory.

yesterday's service was superb. the drama team did a very good job. compared to the many rehearsals i have seen them, yesterday's performance was the best. i cried. when they portrayed the crucifixion scene and when the choir sang "via the dolorosa". i love tt song. its very touching.

praise God. many ppl were saved yesterday. i had a great time. realli. i remembered the last time i felt this way was during xmas service. aftertt had a string of mtgs. met up wif the fairfield ppl, kim's gang for lunch, then the crossroads mtg aftertt and then was supposed to go out wif nelly..but then boss called for a core grp mtg so had to troup down to taka wif beelian to meet. finally got to have dinner wif my parents and slp.=).

today's west zone oikos: CROSSroads, where paths cross, minds unite and bonds form - the WEST ZONE SYNERGY! organized by urs truly=). and tmr..theres another easter service..its a great wkend wif only God and nothing else in my life.

im sick. very sick. im done wif flu, fever, sore throat, cough and headache. basically, the string of sickness when it strikes.

ive never felt so bad b4. ive been sick for 3 days liao. and it doesnt seem to get any better. i finally decided to troup down to the doctor after 2 days of self-medication when it din seem to work the least. so i left chin boo's class early to see the doc and missed choo's class. i couldnt take it.

and i slept the whole day. i practically wasted it. i hate tt feeling. but then again, u are so sick to bring urself to do any work. so i slack and slept the whole day, and missed cell. well done. but i was sick. so i had an excuse. basically, as u might have guessed, there isnt anything interesting happening in my life these days..its juz endless rantings and bitchings of sch life.

period.

so far..so gd.
03.25.04 (7:43 am)   [edit]
2319hrs

alrighty..its been a few days since i update.

to tell the truth, ive been slacking the whole wk. watching tv all the way, putting my philosophy into practise. realli need to thank just for helping me wif my website..coz i simply suck in dreamweaver. and perhaps its her help, im quite "relaxed" or "relieved" that that aspect of the webby is done.

so i spent my time yesterday swimming and tanning. then chow's cell had frenship day at the bbq pit. it was a great time of juz sharing and talking. we need it more often! and as they leave, ben ben bugged me to meet him so i can return him the money i owed him. so well..we met up and the lobby and chatted all the way till 1130. and when i reached home, i realised it just time for bed! wat perfect timing.

today, went to play pool (cell outing) at bukit timah plaza all the way till dinner which we had at bukit timah hawker centre. came home. watched tv all the way.

well done. i have a test (5 tough chapters) on sat, a photography presentation and essay outline due tmr, and a webby due on monday. wat haf i done?

haha. ok lah..i finish my photo diary and im ready for the presentation. essay outline - checked. webby, do final touching up during the wkend. test - 2 chapters down. pia the 3 chapters tmr. now's too late. all i can think of is my bed.

oh btw. i forgot to advertise this. tsk tsk. BEAUTIFUL TRIO is showing on mediacorp channel 8 every weeknights at 9pm. this is the show that ive assistant produced when i was working in mediacorp last yr. u will get to see lotsa me appearing as either supporting role or extras. coz simply bcoz they dun haf enuff ppl=). well..but i only did the last 10 episodes (11-20). okok..so be sure to watch it k? its real nice and i feel the storyline is very fresh. ok. tts all for now. take care.

i love you bed.

2208hrs

im sorry. i know ive been endlessly ranting abt how sch sux. but it really does. all thanks to [url=http://in-retrospection.blogs...]just[/url] reminder on the break downs on assignments due date and projects deadline.

i tell u..poly is not slack. or perhaps fsv is not slack. if u think u wanna exchange sec sch/jc for laxed rules, causal dressings and flexible time-table, THINK TWICE. three times. four times. dont. never. i miss the gd ol' days in sec sch. here in poly, ur practically work ur life away.

as i mentioned in my previous, ive come out wif a philosphy: work is never-ending, as long as i do my best, its alright. i mean..i need a life. God is still first in my life. i need time to spend wif my family. i need time to spend in church. i need time to spend wif the boys and my cell members. i need time to catch up wif old frens. i need time with so many things. and im not going to spend all my time on some worthless projects and assignments which will mean nothing except for just a grade. im not worth just a letter.

wake up. time, love, care and attention is needed in so many areas apart frm work. and im not just going to drown my whole life into work. life means more than this. no?

community proj - party @ children aid society.
03.19.04 (8:54 am)   [edit]
0009hrs

finally had our iac proj on wed. we were organizing a party for the orphans at melrose. so we met after cats class. headed to king albert park's for breakfast at mac. then we did our shopping at cold storage.

it was real cool coz jerliang's sis who is a professional clown sponsored all the presents and the balloons=). woohoo. so we only had to pay for the food.

so the party started. and as usual..the kids were noisy and stuff. had a hard time to quiet them down. played alot of games and stuff. they were very cute..especially lil jonathan. i love him!

but beneath the surface, there is an emptiness in all of these children. and it is really painful to hear their story. something that we can never ever understand. through all these meetings that i realli get to really understand ppl better. the motivations for why they behave in a certain way. ive learn to be more sensitive and understanding to ppl. i begin to see beneath the surface of ppl. im not so quick to judge on ppl base on their character or behaviour alone, im beginning to see why they behave in such a way.

after this short stint at the children aid society, it really sparked a heavy burden and a thot in me. there are so many impt things to care and address in this world. yet we are so caught up wif our daily life that we dun even haf time for such issues. its that sad, isnt it. the wrold needs to change. indeed.
 
life - my life.

sch sux.

u would have known by now. honestly. i dun even know what im doing wif my life. im just working working working. doing proj. working on assignments. rushing reports. drafting essays. on and on and on and on. im no energize battries!

sometimes i really question the education system. i really question life. what is the purpose of life? slogging your whole life away studying or working? life surely means more than that. im slowly beginning to see that work can never be finished. it just keeps coming. as long i tried my best. thats it. im not going to be competitive and say i wanna b the top. thats not education. thats not art. ill just do my best and trust God to do the rest.

life surely have more meaning than rushing assignments and projects.

i want a life. my life.

hoo..looks like my blog is up and running and still remaining alive. that's the case bcoz im now slacking in web graphics class, [i]thats why[/i]. if not, where do u think i can find the time to blog?? boo - [i]reality[/i].

yat mentioned that if u want daily reviews, one shld go to [url=http://in-retrospection.blogs...]just's [/url] - just like the straits times. dare's blog is streats. well. i dun deny tt.

well. all duh [url=http://www.imagestation.com/m...]pictures [/url] are up. (username and password: derrickchew) [i]finally[/i], i here u say. im busy. get tt? drill it in ur head. busy. terribly busy.

rant. rant. rant. this doesnt seems like a blog now. but well, d guy who invented blogs must b a genius. at least theres (one more) outlet for me to bitch and rant. boo.

i forgot to blog on the oikos@westcoast last sat in my last entry. [url=http://jel87.blogdrive.com/]jieling [/url] reminded me in her blog. well. it was a great day. another outlet for me to [i]de-stress[/i]. we went to westcoast, u might guess by now. we had a station games kind of game. we went to stations to play games, but with a twist. this time there was a story behind it. it was a quest for a "princess", none other than jessica. and each station allows us to gain points, rifles, food and ammunition. - [i]think computer game style[/i].

anyway. God is good. altho' it seemed overcast and it was raining for a gd 36hrs for d past days, He held the rain and blessed us with wonderful bright and (hot) weather. the sun was shining [i]mercilessly[/i]. it was so bad that i had a heavy tan. i could feel the heat on my skin - [i]the feeling when you're tanning[/i]. this time minus the sun block spray. well, i welcomed it, coz i haf been wanting to go down to tan but its either no time or no sun. but well, the tan was uneven, as u might have guessed. only my lower arms, neck and face.

anyway, back to the game, as i said, we were suppose to go through a "quest" to finally find the "princess". again, as u might have guessed, there is no princess! so we ended up playing captain's ball and poison ball to determine the winner. dotz. but it was fun. we had battle of the sexes - [i]poison ball[/i]. and as u have guessed it, the guys win. hahahaha.

right. liswanto, the web graphics lecturer is diao-ing me liao..and im even more stressed. the world has started on their webby and ive not. im goin to rush home now to do it. so till d next time,

1730hrs.

oh my. ive realised ive been lagging. alot. where shall i begin? i dunno! ill try to blog watever i remember and watever is significant.

THE BAPTISM.
well. had baptism last sat or issit last last sat? zhong was baptised alongside wif meiqing, adrian and some more. it was cool. the first time we had it at pasir ris instead of changi. they shld coinsider hafin it at pasir ris. everything is nicer there=). had a nice dinner by the beach wif fish, zhong, yuyan and shuhui. it was [i]al-fresco [/i]dining by the beach. totally cool. gab, follow after me. [i]totally cool[/i]. nice day. love it.

THE MID TERM BREAK.
had a bad mid term break. i wun even call it a break. i was so worn out. there were so many projs on hand and tests it wasnt a break. i wasnt feeling anything towards it. meanwhile, i still dread sch. boo.

MAL'S BDAE PARTY.
well. mal celebrated his bdae on the 6th at his poolside condo. it was great. had lotsa food to eat. and gab and gang, as usual bang the courts hard. cake cutting, mal got all the march babies to join him: qinzheng, mingzhu, huizhen and jeremy heng. made his "inaugural speech" and then was thrown into the pool 2X by us=). nel hurt his leg. apparently it was muscle bleeding so we sent him to holland silver cross 24hrs clinic. thank god it was nothing serious. i reached home at 2. and i woke up 715 the next day for church.

THE ANTS CAMP.
well..it was well, ok. it was handled by outside vendors and well, they totally suck. their time management and programmes all suck. they only had ubin trekking and kallang dragonboating. apart from these 2 highlights, there were nothing else. i enjoyed trekking and dragon boating tho. it was very fun, esp wif my class. however, other than tt, it was nothing much. the campfire wasnt a campfire. so, looking at things, it was quite bad. oo? lijia, am i not suppose to say it suck? sorry. but it realli did!!! but well, i had alot of fun wif my class. hell lot noisy bunch. but they are very fun to b wif.

THE ESPLANADE COURSE.
rite. so i got myself signed up for this esplanade theatre course for 2 wks. it was really power. and kenny, my ex-production manager frm esplanade is teaching the course. so i really got to catch up wif him. im still hafin another wk next wk. its on stage management. lets hope that this course would come in handy wif my musical which im directing at the end of the yr for my church held at victoria theatre.

MY CELL LEADER'S BDAE.
wed was mingzhu's bdae. it was cell day too. so we got her a cake and held a mini celebration. she even had a grand red carpet entrance from the door wif me on the keyboards playing the "fanfare". haha. we had alot of fun. HAPPY BDAE MINGZHU!

MY QUEST FOR YOU - MUSICAL.
rite. so now i am, at home typing this blog after a meeting wif pastor foo on the musical im directing this dec. well, plans are underway. everything is going on well ([i]i hope[/i]) *crosses finger*. its great to know how supportive he is to our production. it will b a great one. so ppl, brace urself, prepare ur heart for a storming, mind blowing extravangaza of MY QUEST FOR YOU, the musical playing at the Victoria Theatre on 24/25 Dec.


well, as for now. there are still so many assignments to do. essays, radio commercial, website, photo shoots and iac project. boo. im slacking. im procrastinating. im not doing anything today. afterall its sunday. its officially a rest day. even God rested on sunday, what more us? so there. im not bothering on anything, [i]at least for today[/i].

im whiny. im bitchy. and i dun care. i hate it. im beginning to hate this semester. im beginning to hate school. im beginning to hate my modules. and im beginning to hate the workloads. damn. i seem to have endless tasks on my table waiting for me to complete. and when i seem to finish one, another starts popping up.

arrrrgh. after procrastinating for 2 gd days. i finally woke up to face reality - i haf a dreading stupid essay due on fri. writing essay is my favourite hobby of all time. i love it to the core.

my essay is due tmr and i haven finish it. theres still the last conclusion para to b done. which i refuse to do it. the thot of cracking my head and wasting brain cells for a stupid essay - and a even more stupid essay topic - just erks me. there is always a "later". we'll see how. i may just hand in an uncompleted essay. do i care?

dare.
 
the start of the long-awaited...

[i]whoopee[/i]. so here i am sitting in my nicely air-conditioned room typing this entry to bring u updates of my life. the long awaited 2wk mid-term break is finally here. but what u din know is that attached to the break, comes lotsa assignments, tests and project work. for the record, there is an essay assignment due this fri, audio tests, photoshop test, radio commerical recording, iac project and cats script. hows tt!

well. anihow, i started on my radio commercial recording yesterday. well..it was, well..[i]hilarious[/i]. imagine this. we have changed the commercial oh-so-many times, that now it is a commercial on a music school. hows tt! first, it was a musical advert, then came the "[i]all abt science[/i]" children book, then it was the "[i]wash away ur tears[/i]" shampoo and finally..we decided on the "[i]lala[/i] music school". and all thanks to tiff and zhuping that got us the idea on the lala music school. zhuz was singing william hung's [i]she bangs [/i]and tiff was like..u hear tt? u hate tt? sign up for classes at l[i]ala[/i] music school! and tt was it! tt sparked creative ideas and here we are doing an advert on [i]lala [/i]music sch! haha. i knew i shld haf gotten tiff. and for the record, [i]again[/i], ive sign tiff as my full-time recording/filming artiste for my 3 years in fsv. whoopee. anyhow, i have to go for another session to record zhuz' rendition of "she bangs", the [i]ricky martin way[/i]. "how do u change a william to a ricky, and a hung to a hunk?...sign up at [i]lala [/i]music school to find out how!"

went wif ernie to sim lim sq today to get his bro's digicam and also to hunt for my editing capture card. we ended up walking in circles, undecided to get which digicam. tts the problem wif sim lim. theres so many shops wif so many models wif so many price range..it gets [i]annoying[/i] after a while. i hate having to hunt frm one shop to another and comparing prices. it becomes so troublesome just to get something. anyway, we din get anything. wat a wasted trip. we ended choosing a present for zhong's baptism at bugis junction.

bababa. now now. the fact tt i haf to do an essay still remains as a [i]fact,[/i] tho im goin into self-denial mode. i know i haf to get it done asap b4 fri comes and b4 patrick wong screws me. well..im more concern on my grades than the screwing..[i]honestly.[/i] stupid lecturers wif stupid assignments. damn. how now. wat am i to do??? ill jus stone and wild my time till tonite b4 i decide to do sth. bah.

from justin's msn nick: "[i]God rulz. Always did, always has, always will. End of discussion."[/i]
amen.

wat a week. well..i, for once, have not got over the fact that my hp, wallet and digicam were stolen/lost. no. i haven. and it is only now tt i really treasurer the small machine, otherwise called a handphone. i realised how inconvenient it is to not haf a hp. sigh. oki. im depressed enuff.

and as if tt wasnt enuff..wat a day it has to be today. everyone had to remind me of my lost of my hp. during photography class..i got huan woei to help me sign out the camera. and we were suppose to fill in the sign out form. and..i left the "contact no." blank. and huan woei had to mention it so loudly.."eh, your contact no. haven fill in!". boo. then..during lunch, when we were talking abt how we look like last time, huan woei had to, again, exclaim "dare, let me see ur IC". damn. as if that wasnt enuff, the final blow came at writcom class. our dear beloved gd ol' patrick wong had to assign the topic "how to survive without a handphone" to us. THANKS alot for reminding me.

hahahaha..come to think of it, ive been pms-ing the whole day, as wad jus would say. there was photography techincal test today. it was oki for me. tho i was kinda nervous when i started out. coz i was duh first. all in all, i did well and completed it in the time given. our dear rol went next and boy did he use up 20mins! siew gila was so exasperated he decided to test 2 by 2. rol simply cmi. period. and yea..i pmsed siew gila. he was saying how we were so noisy and would affect the ppl taking the test. then he said how gd we were to be there, so we can call the next person to sit the test, coz he haven arrive. wat irony. then nvm. he overheard a lil of my conversation wif farhana abt taking kenny pic and giving to sara so she can put it on the wall. siew gila thot i was saying tt i wanna take his pic and paste on the wall and draws dart. pls lah! firstly, i wun even bother to take his pic. next, even if i got hold of his pic, i will tear and burn lah! so bhb.

its the end of the wk. and it calls for a refreshing retreat. this 2 wks have been packed wif assignments packed to the brim. i need some breathing space! well, next wk isnt tt great either. i haf another essay due, audio tech pract test, cats artifact presentation and photography shoot/presentation. and not forgetting the mission convention video i haven conceptualised and film and edit! arrgh. im crying. but i decided that i will not do anything today. i need a break.

so after writcom, rosma, kenny, yat and me headed over to king albert park to chill and grab a bite. we were there from 5-8! it was a great time to destress and jus talk crap. we haven been doing this for a very long time, simply bcos we have not time. our life revolves round assignments, projects and deadlines. you better pity me.

alrite, tmr's the valentine's amazing race and bbq party organized by my church tertiary zone. im so looking forward to it. it'll b a great time..and its another way to really destress. oh yes. ill b out shooting on sun. im going to sentosa to take ppl playing vball and the sunset. it'll b fun. and yes..i really need to score for this upcoming photography presentation!!! so till the next entry...

whats wif the monkey year? everyone seems to lose thigns. jermaine lost his wallet just b4 cny, patrick wong, my beloved writcom lecturer lost his laptop (thief broke in fms office and stole his) last sat and i lost my wallet, hp and digicam today!! i must be the biggest sucker. whats wrong wif the monkey year? its cursed! what a way to start the year.

this was wat happen. we were on photo shoot today. and yat, siewbee, adel and me were in a cam to benjamin shears bridge. we alighted at raffles blvd. bcoz i was paying, i was the last to alight. so in the flurry of collecting my change, keeping my wallet, closing my bag, carry my camera and grabbing my tripod, i must have dropped my wallet, hp and digicam. but wat is puzzling is i dunno how i lost em. they cant just drop out of my bag can they? all 3 items? and i remember throwing my wallet inside my bag! dun ask me how. i dunno! wats worst is tt, bcos of the pressure of alighting fast due to heavy traffic behind, i could not haf the chance to take a last glance at the seat, which i always do.

i knew this was coming. start of the year, i already had a premonition that i will lose my wallet. however, i never knew that one lost will account for 3 items! damn. im beginning to hate this year.

bcos of tt, i had to make a flurry of phone calls to cancel cards and my hp line and to make a police report. i had to cancel my night shoot. now, i dun even haf the mood to do anything! which i haf an essay to hand up this fri. i may had a strong front in front of my friends jus now, but behind tt facade, is a disturbed, "traumatised" self.

all of a sudden, i feel naked. naked w/o my hp, wallet and digicam. anyone willing to clothe me by sponsoring a hp, wallet or digicam? no, im kidding. i really haf to thank my classmates for helping me pay for the cab fare to and fro, all the hp bills used to cancel and report lost and my transport fare home. it was great to haf you guys ard to lend support. yat, siewbee, adel, just and ros and huan woei. thanks lots.

sat's valentines day. and no, i am not sad that im valentine-less. i chose not to b attacehd bcoz i know its not the time yet. well..who say valentine-less ppl cant celebrate vday? this sat, the tertiary ppl will b playing our very own "the valentine's race", our own version of the amazing race..and it will round off with a bbq finale. sounds great. duh. do join us if u guys are free..msg me for details.

this wk sets to be a challenging one with many deadlines to meet and many other obstacles to overcome. im ready for it, to say the least..till next time..
