Dinner at Ding Tai Feng with Nat before wandering around the concrete jungle....... Bumped onto Ashley along the way...... Been a while since i last saw her but didnt really talk through this chance meeting as it was kinda abrupt.........

Jogged my way up from Park Mall to Wesley as Elaine arrived earlier than me....... But the cabby drove away with a lost of $2.30 before i can help Elaine pay..... Lmao......

The rehearsal for the Rhymn and Praise was really nice...... Lol..... Had fun knocking all the poles and shakers....... Though most of us went out of tempo but the overall music sounded really nice...... Its amazing..... Just let God do the rest, yeah...... :)

Nice meeting Steven and her wife, Victoria.... and Kissy or Ki Xin........ Lol...... Im bad at names.......

Heavy downpour and we stayed behind to help out with the logistic...... Had a chat with Elaine as we wait for the rain to simmer before heading back......

Great day........ Wheeeee....... :)

~Indescribable~

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

~Indescribable~

Crystal Jade with Nat and Elaine after service today...... Yummy....... Pampered ourselves to a pre-exam treat with the yummy food...... The service was great..... Pastor Wendy delivered the message powerfully... Praise the Lord......

We sorta shopped for a while as if the examination worries were behind us till the "as if" caught up with us before we headed back to study...... Covered a few chapters...... Not bad for a start...... Note the word; "Start"...... Bahhhh...... Its already the end of study week and i just barely started...... Well done, Ray...... Bravado.......

Went for Joanna 21st...... A few SMU faces showed up....... Turn out was kinda affected by the examinations...... Joanna shown a glimpse of what she could do with her voice....... The song was kinda nice...... Done in a choir style...... :>

Anyway, A Coming Happy 21st, Joanna........

Completed "State Of Fear"...... Gosh, its addictive....... Controversial viewpoint on environment backed by references in the novel..... Yeap, ya got it right.....

Hohoho...... As per caption of the picture....... Goshh...... Throughout my years on mother Earth, not once had i thought i actually look like my brother but this picture sorta caught me there.......

Anyway, the picture was taken when i am running in the New Balance Real Run in Sentosa...... Reminds me of tough running on sand.......

Been surviving on a few hours of sleep for the past few days as the S.E group rushing for the presentation...... Slept over in school yesterday........ Bahhhh....... And i haven start mugging for the finals yet........ Im so dead.......

Senior week in church's service, a senior rejected my seat offer on the train and a disturbing scene where a senior sweared vulgarities at the bus driver........ All in theme hur hur.......

Alright, gotta rush and put an end to this S.E crap........
Cheerios........

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.

He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life.

From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.

Finally, she looked, and something caught her attention on the side as she read these words....."Paid in full with one glass of milk."(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:

"Thank You, GOD, that your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

Accompanied Nat to the Expo for some browsing around....... Bahhh...... I guessed we look old.... Or rather i look old....... Bahhh......

Sent her back and off to Wala for the chilling out with LN, Jiahui, Anna and Ed...... Pearlyn and Charles joined us later and followed by Larissa....... It was really nice for the evening...... Been long since i shout out to the music and just tapping furiously on the table with the beat...... Just too bad that its not the full cast of "Unexpected" as the lead was ill.......

The second set was the best as most of the music played were really rocking us off our chairs....... The electric guitarist is darn darn good with his tool....... Lol..... Mat Rock hur hur......
Hotel California is still da bomb for me........

Anyway its always fun chilling with a live band....... We sing out to almost every song....... Lol...... Certain songs are named "Emo" by us and we started putting our hands on each other and started to act pityful...... It really seems like all of us are pissed drunk and high but we were really just having some fun of our own....... Whats so amazing is that we can always just be in our own world and have fun, ignoring all the glares from other patrons thinking that we are either dead high or crazy..........

Lol..... All in all, its really nice....... I enjoyed myself through and through......... Sweeeeeettttt........

Thanks to LN, Anna, Jiahui, Edmund.......
And nice knowing Charles and Larissa.......

Once again, A happy belated birthday to LN and Jiahui...... Tonight just seems like "Rave" a year ago...... Times flies really fast hur hur...... Its already been a year........

Wooootttt........ Night all........

Next up will be the "Intro Econs" presentation tomorrow..... Hope it will be as good if not better than my previous two..... I really gotta banged on this presentation to flip me back on track with my grades..... Bahhhh..... And thats maybe the sole reason that forced me to anchor the group..... Bahhhh......

My nose runs like Carl Lewis and Maurice Greene...... Goshhh..... Making my day kinda miserable even till now...... Took a well deserved nap but it still hasnt got any better..... Gotta hope that it will be better tomorrow......

One more, just one more then a slight breather before embarking on SE and examinations.....

Cheerios and night guys.....

While searching for my next read...... I came across this......
The brief desciption on the "State Of Fear" seems so good......

"Reverse eco-terrorists create natural disasters to convince the public that global warming is real"

Here For Review: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/30/books/review/30BARCOTT.html?ex=1131685200&en=4a56fd7be03b64b9&ei=5070

Here For The First Chapter: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/30/books/chapters/0130-1st-crichton.html?ex=1131685200&en=7e6e49b476f4f762&ei=5070

After reading the first chapter, im already thinking along the line of terrorists generating tidal waves and such......

Sounds really really interesting..... Its already more or less in the shopping cart.......
Gotta scout for more titles......

Completed "1st To Die"...... Not bad at all...... Got me entertained...... James Patterson tried to plant several twists towards the end of the plot..... Somehow i just felt those twists wasnt too impactful..... Oh well, the book still kept me till the wee hours...... Kinda addictive in a way......

7.5/10

Bahhh..... Completing this rendered me novel-less once again...... Its so expensive to buy a novel and peepz prolly know that i buy novels more than i rent...... Therefore, im urging fellow avid readers to trade novels with me....... :P

Tag me if ya interested.......

Went for the poly talk with my dean today...... It felt kinda great to be back in familiar turf..... The talk wasnt too good..... Students appearing to be nonchalent with the talk and participation from the crowd really pathetic...... Quite a experience as the dean put us on a spot by asking questions spontanously..... We just had to think of an answer upon summoning......

Those juniors put me to shame...... Sigh~~~ Its really bad...... But then again, it just highlight the differences that SMU transformed us to be.......

Week 12 already....... Baaaahhhh.......

2 more days till vertical marathon..... Im so dead..... My legs still kinda sore from the soccer session and i deemed myself unfit at the present moment...... Bahhh..... Just gotta bite through it hur hur......

When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Gets Going......
My Bro used to preach that unto me...... And im gonna use it as a mantra during the climb and the stress period now...... Project hinges on my shoulder..... Heavy hur hur......

Ciaoz peepz......
Godspeed....... :>

- Got None, Robert Post -

When I was a little boy
I used to wonder
Just how old you'd have to be to feel good
Now I've seen a thousand girls but I still wonder
Cause they just don't make sense to me
God knows I've tried

I've tried to be the unpredictable one
I've tried to be the friend that they could rely on
I've still got none
Got nothing at all

And so I fall into the open
Just singing out your name
And when I'm done, crashed and maimed
I hope that's where you'll find me

You know that if it's up to me
I'll still be holding
My own hand the day I die
So please release me now

I've tried to be the mean mysterious one
I've tried to be the sweetest candy you'd suck on
I've still got none
Got nothing at all

And so I fall into the open
Just singing out your name
And when I'm done, crashed and maimed
I hope that's where you'll find me

And it's a good day for being found
Just crawling in the dirt with my head underground
And it's a good day for you to come
Collecting all the pieces of the damage done

And after all the bandages are gone
I hope you'll find a favorite part you can work on
Cause I've got none
Got nothing at all

And so I fall into the open
Just singing out your name
And when I'm done, crashed and maimed
I hope that's where you'll find me

- Got None, Robert Post -

Wooooottt........ Kickass.......
