there were only the three of us at cell today. me, josh and daniel. wanting left halfway. aye the cell's getting smaller. spent the time talking about the issues around us. scripture memory's the integral part of cell for this year. it's good to know the word, but better to be equipped with it i guess.
the family watched just follow law the other day. it's one of jack neo's better movies i guess. then went to celebrate daddy's birthday at some jap restaurant the next day. that place's got good food. walked over to clarke quay to check out the place. think clarke quay's much more happening at night. i like the lights.
so i look to You.

and love is still in the air.
thanks for the flowers and gifts people. yesterday was quite happening despite the fact that we were stuck in sch for a full 12 hours. cheng had a double dose of happiness because it was her birthday as well. she had enough flowers to open a floral shop. haha. went out for some beancurd during the short break that we had while the rest of them got the cake ready. agnes made it full of chocolate and more chocolate. sl launched her attack and i got it as well because cheng thought i was the one. by the time we cleaned up, it was already time for mst. so i sat through the whole session smelling like chocolate and fell asleep during the imagery part. haha.
folded cranes today during common lunch break. it's a one for one thing. fold a crane and the hungry will get a bowl of rice. melissa folded some tortoises and threw them in so we demanded a sack of rice for every tortoise. i had the crane folding crash course during math tutorial. mr kooi's super funny. we did everything but math during the lesson. he got quite excited talking about his dog. aye. hx's enjoying the time of her life now in japan and cheng's flying off to hk tmr. the bak kwa beckons.
in the stillness You are there.

b-e-a-utiful.
so javin's THE one. the lt was packed man. so rah-rah. when i flipped the bulletin today, i was surprised to see so many items on the list. wow. then they started giving out the cakes and i asked john how they managed to pack it so fast. haha. we all looked like we just attended a wedding dinner of some sort with all the cakes in hand. one more year to 60th. lois, we've gotta start working. haha. jireh's view got blocked by a little girl today. super funny.
we dont just train physically, we train mentally as well. at least for now. mst was worse than i expected it to be. we were all struggling to stay awake. coach's the only one who's excited. haha. another session on wed man. 2 b-days on a v-day. think the inter-college flower delivery service's not bad. haha. helps us poor students to send flowers. kuul.
Hear us from heaven Lord hear our cry come heal our land breathe life into these dry and thirsty souls Lord hear our prayer forgive our sins as we call on Your name would You make this a place for Your glory to dwell?
open the blind eyes unlock the deaf ears come to Your people as we draw near hear us from heaven touch our generation we are Your people crying out in desperation
are we desperate enough for Him?

the paradox of our time.
we have taller buildings yet shorter tempers. we have wider freeways yet narrower viewpoints. we spend more yet have less. we buy more yet enjoy less. we have bigger houses yet smaller families. we enjoy more conveniences yet have less time. we have more degrees yet less sense. we have more knowledge yet less judgement. we have more experts yet more problems. we discovered more medicine yet we have less wellness. we plan more yet accomplish less. we learn to rush and not to wait. we have fancier houses but broken homes. we multiplied our posessions and reduced our values. we learnt how to make a living but not a life. we added years to life, not life to years. we conquered outer space but not inner space.
"we drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch too much tv and pray too seldom."
this is life.
so i look to You.

'o' level results are gonna be out real soon. ooh.
