today was pretty eventful, went to ming li's place for some fellowship thingy for adults.
He said he would be going for this week's 1723 =) praise the lord.
After that my mom wanted to go and visit the new house to see how its like. I myself was kinda looking forward to it after i heard that there are like new kitchen cabinets and like windows and all. I was rather optimistic about the look of the new house. However when i saw the kitchen, i was like...what the hell? why did it look so mismatched, the colours didnt go, the texture of the cabinets were dreadful. But i was like heck, its just the kitchen. I went over to look at my would-be room. I stepped in hoping for some really nice and presentable windows, instead i was greeted with windows that brought me back to the 1960s. Gosh they were so terrible and so fugly. I screamed in my mind when i stood there gazing at the MISTAKE. I would never picture such ugly and unsuitable windows anywhere, but now its in my room! I went over to open it and i noticed that the handle was so flimsy that in years to come i could imagine myself breaking it one day due to the fact that it is so fragile. screaming in my head and unable to comprehend such lousy taste, i ran to my parents would-be room. GOSH! Something like albino tree made cupboards were staring back at me! there was no contrast to the colour of the pale shaded room and the cupboards look so OUT!
So i said to my dad, " this sucks! especially the windows" . His reply was " well just live with it, mom finds it beautiful thats why." ( cheap rather than beautiful was my shot back)
Now i find myself dreading the day that we have to move. To a house which was not even designed by the more sensible people in my family, my dad and i. It was the master piece of my Mom the "creative genius"
Still unable to fully accept the the fact that our new house looks like shit. All thanks to the designer, my mom
Hoping for some divine interception to turn this nightmare around

Crappy day experienced today. My pw grp had a meeting to go and visit museums and like scout for old air-conditioners today. The rain was pretty bad as we met up with school, my groupmates ben and enrui were like already drenched before the "adventure" started. Why did i use adventure? well you will find out as i write.
First we had to make our way to the bus stop which is located around 300m away from our school, if the distance is not daunting enough, add torrential rain and lack of umbrellas to the picture. We braved to storm and made it pass to the carpark which was behind the bus-stop,success! Witnessing a middle aged man slipping from the slope which was covered with puddles and grass showered with rain, made us weary of our steps. Seeing his slipper fall apart into two after his balance was gambled with the strap made us grateful that we had shoes. Onward group ! we made it safely up onto the bus, abit making ourselves wet in the process.
On the bus xun kai managed to find a seat though the bus was packed. The other group members could only gather around him and hope earnestly that a passenger would alight soon. Soon we were all seated but it was like... just two stops away from our destination. Exception was shu qing who wanted to stand through out the whole journey.
We managed to dig out some information from the counter girls at the national museum however we were still short of the interview that we yearned.The ladies at the counter were friendly and cheerful, abit mocking at the start when we asked them our fundamental question of what they thought of air-conditioners. Next stop, was the SAM( singapore art museum)
SAM was pretty close by, just a stones throw away from national museum. It was once a school so the designs were nostalgic for some. The man at the counter was pretty unfriendly at the start but soon he sorta like calmed down. Maybe it was due to the fact that my groupmate shu qing took over the conversation from me. I know i look like a pia kia with my current hairstyle but why the discrimination. My other mate xun kai was fliming the process down so maybe thats what made the man at the counter behave. We made off with similar findings from the national museums. Outside the SAM, ben and i were invited to pose for a picture for some unknown lady. Being friendly students of pioneer, we agreed without doubting her intentions.
Completing half of the task that we ventured out for, we left for boon lay, oblivious that dangers were lurking ahead.
Took about 45 minutes to travel from " duo mei ge" hahas dhoby ghaut mrt to boon lay. The guys manged to sit down with the lone lady still standing stubbornly. We went to have a short snack at jurong point before taking 246 down to jakan tukong. We waited at the bus stop with only another old man in line besides my pw group. I was thinking, must be damn isolated and located in some suburban part of undiscovered singapore. that sadly came through, worse, it started raining again while we made our way there. Thus after we alighted, we were stranded on some really freaky place, the kind that has " danger!" written all over it. The industrial sheds there looked like they really needed a new lease of life. The continuous downpour did not make the windows of the rundown sheds look any less ghostly, the sheds look like hiding places for kidnappings and murders. I shit you not on that, but my group has many brave souls, so we casted aside our worries of getting kidnapped, robbed, stabbed, beheaded, shot, ran over, or lost and we braved the storm in search of the truth of the myth of the sale of second hand air-conditioners in that place. Travelling around there was not a walk in the park. Dogs threatened the safety of my fellow comrades ( hahas its like a battle) and the people there were like those evil people you see on tv. Assumptions you can say, but everyone of those people working on that lane that we met looked like a possible criminal suspect. This shook our already quavering confidence that we would make/ crawl out alive. The search was in vain and we headed for something we could all agree on for familiarity, the bus stop. At last! the bus arrived to bring us out of that unpleasant place that gave us the chills just by looking at it. i could say i was transported back to civilization when the bus deported us at the terminal.
Phew what a day! guess we really stepped out of our comfort zones totally!

today i went for sunday service, it was as enriching as ever. today the pastor talked about how Jesus gave 3 men 100 bucks and how two of them returned with 1000 and 500 respectively but the last one didnt do anything with it. Jesus gave 10 empires to the first man and 5 to the second, but to the third he said he wanted to have him punished. I guess its like that in our lives too. We often receive many gifts from God but if we do not use them to serve him, we too will be punished. One of my 1723 members just called me around 9.30pm and i took the first step to tell her that i wanted to serve God. He shall lead me from here i believe. When He comes again will i be able to say that i have ran the race and fought the fight? I shall confirm that with actions of service.
Tomorrow i have chemistry test! got to mug

Today my friend Si Jin came for my 1723 fellowship! extremely happy and estatic about it. There was this one scene where i sat between him and my other pal Alan and i actually dreamt of that scene! no kidding man. Today the bible study was about your gifts from God. My friends had gifts like playing the piano and leadership qualities. Me? i am not sure. Is my gift persuading my friends to church? cannot be since i only brought around 3 since secondary 3. My gift leading people? cant be since i feel unmotivated at times when i have to lead. I guess my gift is to talk to people and share their problems with me. I can really just sit down and start to understand people well. Think thats my gift. I am also one that encourages and comforts, though sometimes i need those myself. But i always found it easier to comfort someone than myself, same goes for encouraging.
I have a 1723 church camp coming up on the 11 of june, i really want to go but i got mid years the week after. I am in a state of confusion if i should go for the camp though i feel that it might affect my studies. My seniors in the church hinted that i might have a chance to serve God as they might put me in a serving position, not just a participant. I find that its very important to serve God now that i am able to. I have always been on the receiving end and seldom gave back. I think i would have to go for the camp and forgo studying for the mid years. Sometimes i have to think eternally to make decisions like this. What would last forever? will it be my studies? my career? my family? or God? i am certain the answer for me is God. that would be answered in my camp.
may i continue to stay forever in faith and service to the church and my saviour Jesus.
