It has been like 987654321 years since Sam last blogged, so yeah his diarrryyland is near extinction. Anw, i doubt anybody will be reading this. But if YOU are reading this, i can conclude that you must be really bored to even blog hop to his blog. I shall REVIVE his blog,come back more often!! Alright, i know that was a whole load of bullcrap. Would you like to buy a damburger? Steve Martin is KAWAII NEHHHHH. I don't know what else to say. Better stop before i start rambling on and on and on. I'll end off with what Sam said yesterday which i thought was quite cute. Cheryl " eh you remember that vitamin thing you bought for me the other time?" Haha so amusing. 'If it's $20 i would rather buy ...this or that.... 'haha i think thats what a normal person would say that luh. I'm not saying hes abnormal , haha but.. oranges to make orange juice?

And I'd give up forever to touch you And all I can taste is this moment And I don't want the world to see me And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming And I don't want the world to see me I don't want the world to see me goo goo dolls - iris. 8:04 p.m. - 2008-06-29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lose your way. I have no confidence I try too hard and Lose your way I still wish on the evening star Lose your way Walk the line Never let me go. Walk the line It's the reason I know
11:44 p.m. - 2008-06-27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- all i have to say is here. Sway by Bic Runga Don't stray please. 1:23 p.m. - 2008-06-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- everytime i see you falling =) mm was on the bus just now and somebody has this ring tone which i sort of have forgotten about but it was one of my favourite songs really long time ago! like in primary school haha! yeah so it was kinda reminiscence. so to add to my collection of long ago forgotten but yet really "treasuable" songs, i shall place it here.
3:16 p.m. - 2008-06-08 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the past one of the songs that reminded me of my primary school days. cause they played it like 10000000000000000 million times on the radio. hahaha! 10:45 p.m. - 2008-06-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- either the flame will go or the ice will melt. once upon a time there was a small candle and an ice-cube. well, the ice-cube being what it is, was cold and wanted some warmth. Even though the candle was small, it tried its best to provide as much heat as possible to the ice. Despite this, the ice still wouldn't melt. The candle tried harder and the flame grew stronger. However, the wax melted even faster. i shall leave the conclusion to your imagination. 6:48 p.m. - 2008-06-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i've done my best i've done my best and i guess thats all it matters. goodnight world. 11:30 p.m. - 2008-06-02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- miss smiley! hello miss smiley =) study hard! and dont be too stress k! i know ure reading this and is smiling RIGHT NOW hahahahaha! okay yay! smile smile! 7:09 p.m. - 2008-05-26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!

Take my love, my Lord, I pour oh how lucky i am. while MILLIONS in this world go through pain suffering hunger wars diseases poverty and are illiterate I and most importantly. am saved. what more can i ask?
9:14 p.m. - 2008-04-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Dear God, if you want me to take up this challenge, i will. I know and trust that you will see me through and that everything that you have set before me is part of your plan for me to learn and grow closer to you. I'll go. 9:26 p.m. - 2008-04-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - 5:49 p.m. - 2008-04-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and i really don't want to- sigh. life is really full of uncertainties. you could be enjoying life one day and the next day you could be eating dirt. you could be full of health, and next thing you know, you could be in the hospital fighting for your life. You could be at home one day and the next day you could be in some far away place, thinking and missing the many family and friends that are close to your heart. gosh. cant slp and im thinking. thinking about stuff that i really never thought i'ld be thinking. stuff that i really don't want to think. sigh. been listening to this song lately -time after time and mm the lyrics are really apt. the song has this lonely feeling to it and yeah, maybe that's why i can relate to it? or maybe its the song tts making me feel lonelly. hahaaha i don't know. pardon my thinking cause im probably not thinking straight as its 3 am in the morn. Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, sometimes you picture me if you're lost you can look and you will find me after my picture fades and darkness has if you're lost... you said go slow if you're lost... sigh. 2:50 a.m. - 2008-04-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i'll say a little prayer for you! mm was supposed to go to sleep but yeah. somehow had things on my mind. well, i feel like i cant express myself well on this journal as much as i want to as i feel exposed. >< so yeah, guess this would be one of the last few entries that would be opened. well, i have no idea why this song suddenly appeared in my mind. Its from my best friend's wedding and yeah its a very good show which i fondly remember! yeah, and so i went to youtube to go listen and mm reminiscence of my younger days came flooding in. yep, so guess this shall be the last song! haha. kayyyyy! gdnight! and oooh arsenal just scored! well, my passion for arsenal is dwindling tho >< er okay man u just leveled the game. 11:58 p.m. - 2008-04-13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- its been a long time 1 Corinthians 13 : 4 well, to many of us, love has a singular meaning but true Godly love encompasses so many qualities. Well, I pray that God will help me be a truly loving son and friend. Dear Lord, help me be able to love unconditionally in times when its so hard to love. Please, be with my family. Amen. 9:29 p.m. - 2008-04-09 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the cries of the world. time has really passed by so fast. God has really shown his mercy and grace to me despite my iniquities and my sinfulness. He has kept me safe and always gave me something to smile about even in those difficult and trying times. Lord grant me the strength to hold steadfast to you. I do find myself really stupid as having seen and experienced God's wonderful works in my own life, i still turn against Him. oh how foolish man can be huh. to my dear friend: i would like to share this song with you as this song has always reminded me that even in the darkest hours, God is there, by our side, carrying us. My heart will trust: Though I walk through valleys low I'll fear no evil O You mourn with me and You dance with me Though I walk through valleys low I'll fear no evil O You counsel me and You comfort me Though I walk through valleys low I'll fear no evil trust in Him. I know that you need time and space to heal but do know that i'll be here. 9:06 p.m. - 2008-02-23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - continuing from my super back dated post, here's yet another song tt is really close to me so hope you guys enjoy it. well, havent been here for a pretty long time cause i've been spending my last month on a pretty nearby island called tekong where the trees are green and the birds are chirpy. yep its on that bright and wonderful island where we learn the basics and hopefully are equipped to protect Singapore in dire times. yeah so i've spent one month in the army already and its been really fast. anw, i wont talk about my army life here since i wont want to take the risk of me getting charged but what i can tell you guys is that God has been with me all the way and He has been gracious merciful and wonderful to me despite me being a sinner. yes a sinnner. so yep, i've learnt to walk much closer with God and hopefully it will continue through out my entire life. I just pray that i would remember God every moment in my life and not just in those times where life is hard because it would plainly mean that i would be taking God for granted. So pray that i may fear the Lord and contemplate on His word each moment of each day. well, im down with a bad cough and pray that God's healing would be upon me and that i may recover asap. thank you. 6:38 p.m. - 2008-02-02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Rock. "The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Psalms 23. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" 2 Timothy 4:7 "Let your light shine before Men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 I've realised how important it is to memorise verses from the Bible. This is because when we're facing temptation, we may not have our Bibles around and furthermore, the temptation may be so great that we just don't even think of going to God's word for help! Memory verses on the other hand, require you to constantly go back on the verse through out the day so that you would know them by hard without looking at the bible! and its because of this repetitive process that really helps you stay close to God throughout the day. How silly of me, spending these 12 years, memorising, memorising and memorising things that i won't probably ever use when I should instead be memorising God's own word that is applicable in every aspect of my life! well, there's 3 more days before i enter into army. Do pray that if its God's will that my foot will heal before then. thankyou. 7:24 p.m. - 2008-01-07 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thanksgiving- well today is the last day for 2008!. time really flies. its like the memories in secondary and jc are still so fresh even though it has been a while when looking at the calendar. so yes. its the end of 2007 and the start of 2008 will start soon. and i guess it would be good to reflect and thank God for all His amazing blessings that He has showered me through this year of 2007. Church so yep, and I've got to really thank God for the many friends that i have met and made in church, for their encouragements, their laughter, their invitations to go lan, eat and just have a fine time fellowshipping. It made me feel that woah i've been here for a long time! So thanks alot YZ! Well, there are really tons of things that God has done for me and on top of that even a gazillion tons of things that I have probably taken for granted. and in the course of next year, i hope to cover each and every of them. hmm there's 11 more days before i enlist on the 11th! going to run later with roy. i hope i do not over-strain before i enter army! anw, well one of my church friends gave me a card and on it it says: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4 : 7. And in the card, she wrote this verse: "Let your light shine before Men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5 : 16 and I pray that in the army, i would be able to hold fast to these two verses and that I would place God above prestige and ranks. so may i be a light for God in the army and most importantly that when i finish army, i would have touched some lives and made a difference. So pray for me in this area such that i would not forget what i wrote today and not let my own ambitions and prestige get the better of me. thankyou. 11:05 a.m. - 2007-12-31 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18 "You are hereby required under section 10 of the of the Enlistment Act (Cap 93), to report for enlistment on 11 JAN 2008 (FRI) AT 8.30 AM to BASIC MILITARY TRAINING CENTRE SCHOOL 1" (quoted from MINDEF, CENTRAL MANPOWER BASE letter to MR YIP ERN CHUEN SAMUEL) so yep apart from the few games of dota, i have started running and doing pushups sit ups and pullups!. From what i gather i guess those few exercises are the pretty important ones. Running - probably the most important since one would not want to be sitting ducks in a war with the exception of roy whom plans to jog round the battlefield! =P hmm for the mental one i;ve been asking most of my friends whom are in army how its like, what to bring, what to expect and i've gotten a very very rough idea and hopefully it'll aid me in preparation. well so since im going to spend 2 years in army, i really hope to make full use of it. i mean after all its 2 years. it would be a waste if you come out after 2 years of sweat blood and tears and u learn how to er shout? so yeah, i shall make full use of my 2 years. and i guess i haf to start planning on the stuff to bring to army and i shall start now. 1) big sling bag (bought) i guess this should be all. if im missing any important things tell me pls. thanks alot! i shall be getting those stuff by mon. in e mean time i nd to go and sleep. OH and i really hope i can adjust my sleeping time by the time i enter army. been sleeping at 11, wake up at 2 and since i cant sleep anymore - dota for 1 or 2 games and then back to bed and up at 11-12. bad bad.
3:29 p.m. - 2007-12-29 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- don't want to to wait for our lives to be over So open up your morning light, well, its christmas eve today and very soon it'll be christmas. Today's church service was meaningful. It made me refocus on what Christmas really was and that was Jesus, the King of Kings, coming down to earth, being born through virgin mary just to save our wretched souls. It really just touches, amazes, quietens, my soul when i think how the world did not even have space for Jesus, the messiah to be born in and a manger was the only available room. Well, imagine the sadness in God's heart when He sees that there is no room in our hearts for Him, our creator. and inspite of our eniquities, His love for us is still able to conquer all, including death. Oh dear Lord, thank you for saving me. Despite of how unworthy i am, you have time and time again shown that You are the Lord Almighty through your wonderful works in my life, be it the friends that you have given me or the countless of blessings that i've taken for granted during the past 18 years. Lord i know everything comes from you and may I remember everything that you have done for me. Grant me the strength dear Lord and willpower to be focused on you despite the temptations that satan may use against me. Amen. 4:18 a.m. - 2007-12-24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hohoho well today i did something which was a first. apart from managing to survive 18 years, 11months and 22 days so far, i did christmas shopping! well decided that 18 is a good year to start the habit of giving gifts. i guess being the youngest child, its kind of hard to break the habit of you expecting to receive gifts without doing the same. But i've realised that all these years, my parents and older siblings have been faithfully surprising me with gifts and that i've been faithfully taking them for granted. so this year i decided to kick this habit and went out with daryl and linus to shop for presents for friends and family. yeah so we headed down to tangs and thankfully though it was more crowded than usual, there was still enough space to breathe. oh oh and i didnt exactly know what to get each of my family members but since there are 11234124324 things that are being sold, it would be quite sad if after seeing 1324124324 things, you still dont know what to buy -.-/ yep so we were just walking past this place that were selling shawls and they're all quite pretty. and hence i decided to buy a coral blue shawl for my mum! so tt was 42 dollars i think. hope she likes it >< its e first time k! anw i think it goes with her clothings. nxt thing i bought was a fountain pen for my dad! well the lady was pretty nice and showed me few pens that she felt it was good. One was a normal fountain pen and the other was some retractable fountain pen which works like a ball point pen where you press the top of the pen if you want to use it. she said that the retractable fountain pen was the first somemore but i didnt quite like the idea and the look of the pen as a fountain pen must be a fountain pen and not be retractable cause it'll look like a normal pen! haha. so yep, i bought the normal fountain pen which cost me around 60+. nxt came my second sister and i bought her some le co...something shirt. its the brand that has a big rooster as its logo. so i;ll call it le rooster. but i think the shirt is abit small coz i bought her a S shirt. and i've discovred that a woman's XL shirt is like smaller than a man's S shirt! so yeah the S shirt which i bought for my sis is like a shirt for a teddy bear but since my sis is slim and pretty i think she'll have no problem wearing it. lol! (cross fingers) oh yah and it was at this time that i mistook a normal shopper as a sales assistant. i think i've done tt like 4 times already. always super embarrassing. oh so tts -30+ from my wallet! anw, last on my family list was my oldest sister. decided to get her some glassware tt she can put in her own house. and i found a pretty tea pot those transparent kind that separates the tea leaves from the water so that its easy for one to brew tea. so yep together with it i bought hibiscus tea leaves, which i hope it would taste nice and woah it cost me like 75 dollars altogether! but im not complaining cause it was my oldest sis that bought me 2 crumplers! hahaha. SO YAY i was pretty satisfied with myself as i managed to get everything for my family without much hassle and hesitation and i think i was pretty focused cause i got all their gifts in about an hour! oh yep anw i went to get my gifts wrapped and while speaking to one of them whom were wrapping he told me that they actually volunteered their services during christmas to help wrap presents as part of a charity work! so i guess i must say its these people whom i admire as they're willing to spend the days before christmas helping society so yep, if you're going to tangs and getting your gifts wrapped remeber to donate k! anw went to raffles city and then bras bersah complex to get somemore gifts but i shant name them cause er. im lazy. oh and while shopping daryl asked me this question that was asked to him by vera. he asked me well, so what are YOU going to give God? and it struck me that amidst all these bustle of buying gifts, i've yet to sit down and ponder exactly what I'll be giving to God this christmas. and so here i am. well first, i've decided that everyday, i should be giving Him time. No matter how the day went. Its hard because time and time again i fail and stop doing daily devotion but i know that the only way I;ll grow as a christian is reading His word and listening to what He has to say. So yeah, thats one. the second is that i would like to be a light that shines for God in the army. I know it'll be hard, but i pray that God would grant me strength in the face of difficulties and that He'll be pleased in my actions, thoughts and words. so i hope that you all may pray that i'll be able to really get down and be serious about my words and do ask me if i have been living up to them. thanks! well, this is the song which suddenly hit me when i was at jeremy's house which i talked about yesterday. enjoy. I Don't Want To Wait - Paula Cole need to start wrapping presents and cards! OH AND ARSENAL WON SPURS! AHAHAHAH. ALL THE WAY ARSENAL!tata 10:51 p.m. - 2007-12-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dawson's creek well today / yesterday was a pretty wierd day. cause it was one full of reminiscence. went to play tennis with jeremy and zhan yuan in school today, and due to my screwed up sleeping times, i woke up at 10.20 when i was suppose to play tennis in school at 10.30! what i didnt realise was zhan yuan was even later than me and came around 20-30 mins after me so jeremy had to wait all by himself! hahah sorry jeremy. crap i haf to apologise to jeremy alot today. Anw as rj's courts were being renovated, we had to go to ri. well ri was full of parents / children so i guess that it was the day that the primary 6's had to register. and seeing parents carrying those pink papers and those plastic bags filled with secondary one books immediately made me think back on my own experience on this exact day, six years ago. its funny how even though its been six years. six longggg years, some stuff remains as clear as ever, as if it was just yesterday and i hope i wont lose them. so here it goes. well after getting my PSLE scores, it was written on my slip that i got my first choice which was acs (i) and hence when it was time for registering, me and my dad went down to acs to look around as well as to buy my books / uniform and register. And when i was just about to buy my uniform and books, someone called. "hey samuel, sorry to let you know that you didnt get in." "oh okay." "just kidding, you got in, anw can u come down to register?" Well that person turned out to be RI's coach whom was coaching at farrer park where i was training and it so happened that he asked me to try for ri's tennis try outs. so yeah i was really happy that i was given an opportunity and i dropped out of the queue and went down to ri. i guess i'll probably remember that phone call for a pretty long time unless i suffer from amnesia which i probably would when i grow old. well, six years later, im indeed thankful to God for His marvelous plan He had and allowing me to get into ri which gave me a good all rounded education. well i cant say ri provides the best with regard to everything cause i simply havent been able to go through 4 years of secondary education in every secondary school in singapore. but ri provided me with plenty of fond memories which i would treasure. anw yeah that was wad happened 6 years ago. okay jumping 6 years ahead from 6 years ago, after playing tennis with jeremy and zhan we ate and went to jeremy's house. and lol, jeremy is one lucky guy man he has 2 comps, + a super big lcd tv + xbox in his room (okay he shares room with his bro, tim) but still =p! anw here's where i've got to apologise to jeremy again. when i left his house i TOOK HIS WALLET! obviously not on purpose but mine and his are all black and all no pattern so i happily thought mine was on e table when mine was in e bag. so yeah now i have his wallet and if he doesnt get any christmas gifts for anyone, blame me >< so im v sorry jeremy!. anw there was this song tt suddenly came back to me. i didnt know what it was called but i knew it was from some cd my sis had bought which she used to listen when i was about primary-secondary. and yeah about songs, i guess the songs which i listened to was mostly influenced by my sisters, oldest sister actually since she was the one buying all the cds. and while like 7/8th of her cd's have gone missing dunt know why, i've really been wanting to get hold of those songs but they're so old and i cant rmbr their names. okay anw back to the song tt suddenly came to me, i realised it was from the dawson's creek sound track which my sis bought. and i loved that entire cd. well i dont watch dawson's creek. but the songs were really nice. and so yep, i went back home and went to check out all the song titles in the dawson's creek sound track and been listening to them on youtube. anw, if you all ever go into a cd shop and so happen to see a cd "dawson's creek sound track vol 1" please buy for me! i think i shld do abit of checking myself. but i doubt they still sell it. its like 8 years old. well these songs that i talk about really mean alot cause when i listen to them they bring back fond memories. so i shall share the love and while you all may not share the same memories as each song brings to me, do enjoy them. i'll post one song per entry. and btw they're currently taken from dawson's creek =) i guess i'll start with : enjoy. nd to slp, tmr is christmas shopping time! abit too l8te i think. but its still not christmas! hah. zzZ 2:58 a.m. - 2007-12-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my eye's own observation crap i feel really noob at dota. even after so many games i think my level improved from a basic creep to a stone golem. cant even be considered a hero yet. anw, roy told me i missed out Joanne from the list in my previous entry!. v sorry Joanne! if you ever see me, and if u read this rmbr to claim a toberlone/tobalone (the triangle chocolate bar) or however u spell it from me. anw, i think i shall talk about my class another time. hm. today i shall talk about the reason why i haf biggg eyes (according to some people). well, i believe its because when i was small, i had this small problem that is being unable / lazy / dont want to talk. i really cant rmbr so you can choose. so i;ll just sit and stare at my surroudings the whole day. oh yah. btw i had trouble pronouncing my name samuel so i called myself mark. that was like 14 years go. so dont ask me if i can pronounce my name properly! so yeah since then i've been pretty observant about things that go on in my environment but i think im losing abit of my touch. and i guess naturally if you're one whom observes alot you will need bigger eyes rite. so yep tts abit on my childhood and how i got my big eyes so if you want bigger eyes observe more! hahaha. okay i better sleep soon tmr tennis at 10.30! i really need the exercise. i need to force myself to run and get fit before i enter ns and not get fit in ns. zzZ 12:19 a.m. - 2007-12-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - I realised my sleeping times are abit screwed up cause i've been sleeping at around 3-4-5 and waking up at around 2-3. But its all under the good reason of fully making use of your holiday before going into NS! alright, going back to yesterday's train of thought would lead me to talk about my class! hm. well each time we get a different class be it in sec 1, sec 3 or j1 i'ld always pray that God would give me a good company of friends, and Im thankful that God heard my prayer and answered them according to His will. I guess these are the sort of things that one tends to overlook and hence I would like to thank God for looking over me throughout my years in sec and jc life. yep so onto my class. Well, since i did not take higher chinese in secondary school, i had to take chinese in jc and hence i was placed in a class where most were in a similar situation as me. So with regard to the guys, i've probably known most of them as we've been in the same normal chinese class since sec 1. (this brings me back to the sec 1 and sec 2 chinese class days where it was superrrrr fun. So fun till like almost 30+ pple would be sent out =D. Well i'll maybe talk about my eventful chinese lessons in later entries.) With regard to the girls, the only girl i knew at the start was ade cause she was from my same orientation! Anw, jumping abit in front. (yes my train of thought is messy sorry) i still rmbr the time when we got to meet our class for the first time! okay basically the girls were sitting on the left side of the classroom and the guys on the right. (nothing surprising huh) and if im not wrong kenny was sitting on my left and guo ren was sitting on my right. i think edward was sitting in e same row as me and poey and yammies in front. Guess who were sitting behind man. two people from acs! one was boon and the other i thought was dam uber dao / cool / dunno lah. which turned out to be ROY. so basically our class had a few divides on the first day. the uber smart aka geps / express (dunno why boon was considered a gep on the list tho! ahaha), the girls / guys and the those people from ri / ac. anw, before i continue i think i will list out those people whom were in my crazy/siao/imba class. Guys: Girls: (i hope this is all! haha my memory sersly dam degen if i miss anyone i'll give him/her a tobalone bar!) ---------after 30 mins -------------- well its either my chain of thought tt refuses to carry on or im lazy. i think food has some part to play as i just ate. so yeah tts all for now 3:58 p.m. - 2007-12-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- time after time having a second entry is always an achievement cause i have never gotten past the first. I'll first talk about my jc years since they're prolly the freshest memories i currently have. so hm. Im thankful to God that i managed to get into the program that enables you not to take O levels as if i had, i'ld proly not have managed to get in. And so yep, my year began without worries unlike those people who had taken their O's whom had to wait for their results. hm. orientation was not bad cause i knew most people from my grp, the guys that is. had peter and hungwen to start of with from 2h! so quite happy lah. frankly speaking, cant quite rmbr much of orientation except tt it was rather relaxing. oh yah. nxt was deciding what cca to join. i decided against rejoining back tennis as having played tennis for 6 years can really make you lose interest for tennis. furthermore, i thought tennis would be real tiring with all the trainings coupled with jc life. (which turned out otherwise where it was more slack than sec training!) So i decided to join a cca with a whole different aim and that was interact. well apart from the muscle degen (no exercise) part of e cca where my nafa just died, i didnt have any regrets =) this is because the objective of interact is soley to give back to society whatever you've been blessed with. and you definitely feel accomplished (not always) but sometimes when you've tried to bring a smile to a persons life. so hm. with regard to interact, i decided to join a mentoring scheme. Having to mentor secondary students is a big leap for me as it taught me to get out of my hm. not really introverted but er unsociable shell? lol dunno. anw yeah while most people consider mentoring as slack, i find it pretty hard as being a mentor u've got to really set objectives and come out with plans for your mentees. and i guess that with respect to this area i've failed pretty awfully. hopefully i;l be able to be a better mentor nxt time! well i guess this is also due to my laziness which i;ll blog about another time. if im not lazy. lol! anw, i also had to juggle my studies and mentoring which i prolly failed sometimes as i missed some mentoring sessions. well, apart from that, every session that i went turned out to be a fruitful one both for me and hopefully for my mentees. With regard to the people whom are in Interact itself, i only know like less than 10 cause, refer back to previous post on myself. which i have nobody to blame apart from myself but im actually fine with it. so apart from. wanling, daniel, weili, germaine, nicole (class), poey (class), edward (class) i think i dont knwo the rest of the 60+ pple hahaha! oh well also i think due to my nature i have a really big problem in doing flag day. again refer back to the previous post on my character. also i think everybody hates being daoed/rejected and yeah im no diff. maybe im not trying. dont know! lol i started writing this post at 11.05 and now its 3.44 due to e dota games in b/w and chatting. so obviously im tired and i nd slp! anw hopefully my chain of thought carries on tmr. zzZ 11:05 p.m. - 2007-12-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- random! Hmmm. Well, this is my second time trying to start a blog. gave up the first time >< anw, its also because i know nuts about web domains and er web languages due to me playing around in comp classes during secondary school +++++ i keep forgetting my url! and my username and password! ahahhaah. okay. Hence, i shall go with a simple lay out with a simple url and a simple password (1234) and a simple username. so anw, there must be a reason why someone starts a journal and i've been sitting here trying to find a reason why im starting one. I guess for me its because there's this part of me that is more comtemplative. and its actually a large part of me. well i guess i dont show much of this cause there's no need to and also that most things that are worth comtemplating on are things that are those that are dearest to your heart, and im not the kind whom is naturally out going. So yep, thats the part of me that is not really shown. well the other part is the lame part which most have come to know of and, thinking about this, it contrasts well with my other character where it ensures that im not analysing things all the time. I've also noticed i tend to express myself better in words - writing form then speaking and i guess this is because i always felt tt i was more an introvert than an extrovert. and i guess i've to try to correct this as verbal communication is probably the best way to actually convey one's feelings as you get to look at the person and read his/her expressions as well as listen to the tone. About being more introvert than extrovert, well some may be surprised. i dont know. well this is the reason why. if i meet a person and i think i wont meet that person again, i won't bother/care about saying hi and introducing. and if i actually go up and say hi to a person its because i'll prolly be going to know you for a pretty long time and its best to know you from the start. I guess first impressions count alot as well. actually tts quite a -.- reason but thats the best i can to try to explain as its really hard to put such thoughts in words. WHOA, i realised i got alot to write, like theres so much things and hm i dont seem to know how to arrange my thoughts. and well, there hasnt been someone tt i could express myself well to for a pretty long time =) so i guess this could suffice for the some stuff that i would like to share. hmm im quite tired now after my analysis of myself and maybe i'll blog later tonight on other random things that comes to my mind. oh ya, today's suelyn (aka sozzie suzzie moose elmo) BIRTHDAY so happy birthday suzzie! may God bless you and give you a successful year ahead! and also stop calling me ernie! ernie sersly sounds like some character in sesame street. i dont know why tho. okay byke
