End of the beginning- or just end of mid years

Mid year exams just ended. haha. Shld i feel relieved or scare? well the logically feeling for a person who hadnt studied much during the school holidays should be well fear for the results that is to come. HAHA.
To speak the truth, I believe I only can barely pass the subjects. Yesterday and Today was back to well DOtaing and more gaming. Played with Dipan and well he's quite a newbie and it is always frustrating to play with noobs. No offense though.
Yesterday quite funny, after the chemistry paper some people of our class are going to town as part of a class outing or something. Most of the time i will tagged along and well 'supposedly' bond with the class. Yet Dipan and me went home as they board the bus, and the best thing is daniel went up the Bus thinking we are going. HAHA. Daniel now kinda sticks with us.
Talking about this, why mus people stick to groups and get very reluctant to move on?
Why issit people always choose to rather confine to their group of friends and always leave other out? Even in the class setting, I dun see why we ought to 'avoid' and 'badmouth' people. It is always fast for people to look at others shortcoming and nvr look at their own. Christians nowadays, including myself also have this problem. (I trying hard not to talk bad about people though) This verse in the bible illustrate this problem: And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? ( Matthew 7:3)
Ok we blog again soon, dunno what happened to the tagboard. I removed the board alr, maybe nextime got time put it back.

Interesting video

Listen carefully to what this guy has to say. I may be boring but quite useful if lets say people get interested into religion. It basically answers the question of who is God.

LOusy Day

Today was a lousy day. Well to start things off my hands are trembling from doing some basic exercise just 15 min ago. Cant even type properly.
Noon time was bad, my dad came back home, got all the long talks of nt studying enuff, gaming too much and things like that. My dad always scare me off by asking me nt to study anymore if you dun want to, then later talking to me abt how hard it is to have not a proper qualification. I am a person that hates to face reality and often just try hard to avoid wat is coming. (this case is the A-levels). luckily i gt tuition in the afternoon and i was spared from the boredom of studying. ( my tutor always cant make it at the very last minute, glad he came 2day, HAHa).
Spent my evening playing DOta haha. Well games can nvr be satisfying and i always nvr get enuff out of it. jus a sad thing i nvr gt to play a complete game :( (maybe i try again later hehe).
Looking back on Sunday's church sermon, I realised i had never listened to a full sermon for a long time and that sunday i just sat though the whole thing listening as-a-matter-of-fact. this verse the preacher said i tot was realli powerful and i jus t wanted to share:
Fervent lips with a wicked heart
Are like earthenware covered with silver dross. (Proverbs 26:23)
This verses really exposes all the actors in us. I goes to show if we people, Christians or not, are in some extent hypocritical if wat we act on the outside does not goes with our intentions. I found out i am a hypocrite sometimes and that makes me equal as all the big time phony.
OK thats all i cant type more for now.

Amazing Grace

This song has been heard by many. I wanted to just share the lyrics and hopefully ponder over it. Just two stanzas.

Amazing Grace – how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

-Sharing Time xD

I realised my posts are getting abit lengthy (like writing essays). Today i will not talk about the inter-jc swim meet and stuffs as i thought it will just bore people.
Being a Christian means must be good boy (at least to act like one). I had never really been one though. Yet one thing that burdens me is to share my every own testimony of having Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. To cut things short, i wasn't born a christian and so do anyone else. At least my parents are Christians but they had stopped going to church since i can remember as a young child until the past few years.
My impression of a church is like a big charity at the beginning where i will follow my grandparents to their church. Every trip there i will be given $2 as 'donation'. I cant really blend in well withe the people there and soon i wasnt going anymore.
God in his mercy and grace had my family placed into another church off serangoon gardens. My parents returned back to Church every Sunday and i just tagged along. During this time, I am already wondering about things, constantly questioning and doubting things. I met people there and became friends. On this faithful Sunday, I was asked by Auntie Adeline to receive the Lord Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour, I hesitated, yet looking at all the blessings and patience God has on me, I agreed eventually. There is this magical feeling right after i know i was Saved. Joy and peace in my very heart.
So then began my walk with God. This isnt a smooth and good ride. I have been naughty and done many wrong things, knowing full well that God is constantly looking. My faith in Christianity strengthen as i viewed all the wonders God has created for everyone of us, with Him leading me through each stage of my life.
These things I write not because i can gain some good deeds and karma, but that you may feel God's love for me and for you reading. God has not forsaken me, neither will He leave you out of his wondrous Kingdom. All u need to do is ask and receive.

CMPB outing

Today i went for my NS medical checkup. Well lots of people there, big and small ( i am the small guy there being totally lost and blur). Going in to this highly guarded place wasnt easy, i say harder than going into the Istana during certain days. LOL. Security screening and no image-capturing devices are the norm.
I found my way to the right building and the whole registration process was a brisk. Everything went smoothly and the signboard around proved its use to a certain extent. I happened to meet my secondary school friend there, just that he wasnt going through the medical checkup, but just there to pass up some of his medical report. We talked abit about this checkup, its procedure and things to expect etc... (though i already know roughly what will happen)
The check up was with very little wait time, moving from station to station was easy. Theres the self urine test, where I just find it hard to pee without drinking much water in the morning. HAHA.
Then they drew like one syringe full of blood from me, i had no time to feel scare given the process was over within a minute. The audio test, dental and eye check and X-ray was just routine. I manged to talk to some RJ guy that happen to queue with me during these checks. Well he was nice and brought my clumsy plastic bag for me into the room after i left i outside. A simple HELLO goes a long way.
The people there are mostly NS men doing admin work, i noticed. What a good life, everyday like going office. HAHA. I talked to a second year NS men doing the ECG on me and he looks friendly. Oh mine, the medical equipments there are quite out-dated. The blood-pressure machine, ECG machine all used the old type. The screening ended with the NS doctor checking me 'thoroughly' and gave me a combat fit PES A.
Then came the boring part of the whole thing. I dunno I sit how long in front of the comp there, asking all the supposedly logic and maths questions. There are also some physics questions. The time given for some questions are quite tight. I didnt mange to complete the maths questions ( lol i got a slow brain). The quiz ended with a survey and asked for suggestions and improvements.
After that I went off to the canteen inside and got a drink, asked for directions yet again and went straight home.

More Precious than Gold

Yesterday was church day. Sang the hymn 'More precious than Gold'. This song really goes down to the very marrows of me. I was wondering why are we Christians not doing our job- to save the lost.
I used to join brothers,sisters-in-Christ on weekly street evangelising on Thursdays. Well laziness and unwillingness got the better of me and i stopped since. Thinking back now, I really loved the joy of seeing a soul saved, and now i hungered for such feelings again. Maybe aft mid years exams I go. HAHA. Pastor this Sunday talked abt worship being more than all these. I believed I need a serious change in attitude in terms of worshipping my Saviour. (considering i was late these past few weeks for church).
Life can never be the same again. This question of whether Christians should stumble one another has been in my mind today. Sunday afternoon after church was the time that sets me thinking. My church brothers asked me out to go LAN. And LAN means DOta and as known by now, I played too much of these games and I thought this game is addictive. Then again, despite the emphasis by him that we jus play to relax 'once in a while', I still feel uneasy when inside the LAN shop with ppl shouting all the **** from all directions. Are the things we do edifying to each other? I somethings feel a sense of pity. For once in my life the Church has ceased to be a church i used to know.
I hold fast to my faith nevertheless. I know that i serve a risen Christ. Time to get things right (Yet action always speaks louder than words and mere typing)
(Ephesians 5 :15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. )

SWimming

Lazy me went swimming 2dayin my club. haha. Well swimming was never fun. wad keeps me swimming is the sheer satisfication working my body out. well at least i try to better my time.
2day swimming was well 'kids day'. All the older swimmers had went for the eariler trng and i was stucked with all the primary and lower sec kids. Well.... I saved my face by nt losing to them in the 50m sprints (25.3sec wif flippers) haha.
LUckily for me, one fren of mine now in Ns came. he is erm maybe 2-3 years older than me, abit slower also (hahaha). I am impressed by his hard work and determination. Everyyear without fail he will take part in the national swimming champ though he may be the lousiest there. LOL.
Well, i am the opposite, or rather the one that shld learn from him. i have the built to swim faster than him, taller,abit bigger size than him. not that i am trying to boast but i trying to prove a point.
Breaking my own PB(personnal best timing) was never my thing as i was never that fast like the rest of the swimers in my club. Joining comp jus to take ur time as seen by me as a waste of time and money (Cant win why go attittude). yet this guy whom i noe will alwasys sign up for these comp and try his best there. He was telling me he just want to break his PB there.
For that he is more worthy to be a swimmer than i am.
