The next few days after signing up for that outing... the Christian Fellowship room in my school was (can say) filled wif small tiny flying insects... At first, I didn't bother about it, until when suddenly they started flying towards me and crawling up my shirt... I screamed and ran like mad... That moment, I was thinking how would I survive jungle trekking which consist of more insects and !LEECHES! (sticks on your body and doesn't come out easily) I tell you... I was like freaking out... I thought in my mind, trying to comfort myself "Okay... you're gonna do this... Couage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared - Eddie Rickenbacker... You must be brave!"

So it was friday night (the night before the outing)... I went to cell group and... tada... there was one amazing new friend who told me the "story" of jungle trekking... Mostly on leeches!!! (what I was currently most afraid of in the jungle) He says that leeches can go inside your body underneath your skin and something like that... My fear... OF COURSE grew even worse... My imagination that time was decribed as undecribedably wide... I told everyone inside the car that how I hope I didn't sign up for this... I HOPE THAT TOMORROW I WILL OVERSLEEP SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO FOR THE JUNGLE TREKKING... when I reached home that night... it was already pass 1am. I immediately went to bed and slept and prayed to God that there will be no leeches or any other creature on me during the jungle trekking so that I would still be in one piece...

Well... God indeed answered my prayer... Im still in one piece and there is/was no leeches on my body... That is because what I "hoped" for did came true... I overslept and woke up only when my mom shouted "8.30 already lo!" I immediately jumped up from my bed and looked at the time "OMG... I'm like super duper late so I didn't get to go..."... I was kinda disappointed actually... then I thought... can go also sad... now cannot go also sad... what you want wor... but seriously la... its quite saddening... So... let me advice you this BE CAREFULE WHAT YOU WISH FOR, IT MAY COME TRUE! =D

I know I am like gossiping right now which is not a good thing... but this is really hillarious... My Physics teacher a.k.a Mr Humble LifeLong Learner, HLL (thats what he calls himself) taught us the 7H of learning a few days ago before our first term exam started which i think it was rather hillarious. This is how it goes... Humble -> Hardwork -> High achiever -> Harvard -> High income -> Help -> Heaven... I dont really agree with this but yeah... this was what he taught us... in a graph style some more...

Yesterday, when I was having my first term Physics paper... After flipping through and reading the essay question, I started looking at it and laughing non stop... Why? For those of you who thinks its because its too easy... THINK AGAIN... LOLS... it is because of the word "Mr Humble LongLife Learner" on an exam question... This is how the question goes... (something like that la) Music performed cannot be heard clearly by the audience although there is loud speakers placed everywhere. Your Physics teacher, MR HUMBLE LIFELONG LEARNER ask you to identify the possible problem for this matter and suggest ways to overcome it by using Physics concepts.... when i read that bolded underlined word I was like what the heck? Its an exam... but that really made a great laugh out of me despite all the stress on exam.

Another thing is my dear friend actually drew that 7H of learning graph on her answer sheet and hand it in to him... Well i guess she's not the only one cause i hav heard many of his students done that too... Well, just to inform you, im not trying to talk bad about him or anything... just something funny i wanna share and besides that, his classes are somehow sometimes quite interesting and hilarious when he come out with this type of stuff. 

Well... Hope you guys can understand cause this is kind of an inside joke for a few classes in my school that is taught by him. And please note that when I say hillarious, i dont mean to discriminate something... it is just another word of saying funny (for me) =)  Thank you ^^

Love Germ =)

We try and we try to stuff and to screw... But it can't go in... We was wondering... is the base(stand) wrong or what... So, we took out all the screw out again and start over... ended up with the same thing (base)... So we thaught that it should be the tree problem... My god brother took a pair of sciscors and started trimming away the 'leaf' at the bottom... And after a few trial... We manage to fit it in... We were like FINALLY!!! We were sweating like mad but we were still jumping around cheering and being so excited or... a lil too over exited. 

Next, we open up the 2nd layer of the christmas tree... or maybe we THOUGHT it was the second layer... I notice something weird and said : " how come the "second" layer so big wan?? like much bigger than the "first" layer" After asking that stupid question... we just realise that we fixed it wrongly... As i said we THOUGHT it was the second layer... After all those effort we made trying to stuff the tree in... we had to take it out again and put the correct layer in... Thank God this time it was much easier... LOL. After that... YAY!!! I can finally say and not go wrong again that WE FINALLY BUILT UP THE TREE!!!!... both of us were super exshousted but we had extreme fun and laugh...

Next it is time to decorate... This is much easier than building it up (like MUCH MUCH MUCH)... After finishing everything... We look at the Christmas tree we built all by ourselves and gave a big smile of satisfication =)... After that... since I was fasting... Lovely Aunty Ngat Hoon (My god bro's mum) made a homemade mushroom vege soup jus for me... So lucky and warm... Its like a reward after that hardwork ^^

Another hillarious thing happened when we were building the Christmas tree... Since the Christmas tree was kept in a big box (rectagular shaped)... it was kinda dusty and all... and we found 1 coakcroach dead in the box... And a conversation started between my god bro and I :-

After that great laugh... we begin to work... and I saw another dead cockcroach stuck on the tree... Yucks... Din;t dare to touch it afterwards... My god bro... this time... took a handful of kitchen towels and wrapped the cockroach up like a mummy... Lol... a mummified cockroach (sum more got coffin). Well... so this is how much fun we had... It might seem quite boring reading it... cos I know I quite "luo suo" but it was a great fun and a great experience... =)

On the 2nd day, we went to sentosa island (where we wanted to go on the 1st day but it was raining) with my cousin and my niece (not that i'm very old... im just 16). We spend all the time we have there just to sit on the luge... SUPER FUN!!!! Love the luge! After that, my lovely family purposely drop by a guitar shop just because I wanted to get a guitar for my own... So sweet of them ^^ Love them much... I got a guitar worth (300$) converted to M'sia ringgit is around RM640... I love my baby guitar so much... Couldn't stop staring and touching it after getting it =)... Here is how it looks like =)

My "non-living" baby!!! Luv it =3 (with a reflection of my doraemon =D)

However... I haven't figure out any name for it yet... Anyone have any idea can share =D Thanks ^^

My parents and I went back home the 3rd day... What an amazing trip... Got my lovely guitar ^^ Welcome to my home =D

I was asked to join spelling bee because there was not enough people from my cluster to participate in this competition. Well, thanks to my "yes yes" attitude, I said yes, and im in... and guess what... the prelims is the next day and I hav like 1500 words to study in a few hours time. I thought it was gonna be easy... but with the pronunciation and all... OH MY!!! It is worse than word power! (well, maybe because i dislike spelling and prefer memorising) That night, I was in church till 12am, practicing drama for drama compertition. I couldn't control my emotions and cried, thinking of quiting, but something in me just ask me to hold on. When I reach home, I thought of printing those words out to read in my bed, cos my dad was very mad of me coming home late, so it won't be wise to study that time. Unfortunately, there was 150 pages to print and printing those out is a NONO!!!! I couldn't think of anything to do at that moment, so I sleep -.-".

The next day, I went early to church, thinking that I can have the resources to study but the answer was no. Finally, I became wise enough, to depend it all on God! AMEN! I quiet down my heart in the cafe, and prayed quietly. I commit every single thing onto God's hand and believe Him that through Him, nothing is impossible. So here it comes, spelling bee prelims, I said my last prayer before going up for the competition. Miraculously, I passed the prelims easily and Im in the finals (YAY) PRAISE THE LORD!!!! =)

Well, since I'm in the finals, I planned to go all out and do my best for God and also for my cluster. After recieving those finalist word list (thank God this time it is just 200 words)... I immediately started studying in front of my computer (checking the pronunciation), hoping for the best. After weeks of studying, finally the day come. I was super nervous, to be honest, afraid that I will shake like how i used to in front of everyone. Despite that, I was confident, not over, cos I have studied everything, almost (of cus in the 200 words, there will be some that I'll forget or miss out). After being tested by some friends, I became more confident. Of course, again, before the competition started, I commit everything to God again through my prayers, believing that only with Him on my side I can win this competition, cus my competitor was quite a tough one i suppose.

So, the time has come, the competition started. Once our pronuncer (MISS KOH ESTHER wohoo!!) pronunced our word, we stunt. Although we both got the first word correct, the rest of the 4 were all wrong.  None of the words we study in the list they gave us came out!!! We became more nervous and nervous each time, hopping that this will end fast. (Well, we are still humans) So... it came to the lightning round where both of us have to press the buzer as quick as possible to answer and the first one who answers correctly wins. The funny thing is, when the word is being pronunced, both of us look at each other not daring to press the buzer. The lightning round became the 'waiting round'. After a few rounds of 'waiting', the host finally get bored and gave us a word 'UNBELIEVABLE'. I pressed the buzer first and spelt the word correctly and I won the competition (yay... not) This is the first time I actually won something but don't feel the joy over it. I felt sad and teared again... (weak'nya) All the weeks practicing preparing myself for this competition, have just been a waste like dat... That was what I thought first. I tried my best to let go of this, trying to forget 'bout this thing, and finally noticing that I was just escaping the truth and not facing it.

Again, I quiet down my heart, and prayed to God, asking Him to bring my joy back again. And now, I can feel joy and peace in me and Im happy again and as Chi-La as usual =) Foot drilling in the other hand went on very well, won a silver for that, but 1 thing I wanna thank God most for that is the fellowship and for those new friends I made ^^. This years emerge, although had cos me many tears, but I believe that God is stretching me, and preparing me for better things that are going to happen, especially leading and training up new batch of leader for my CF annual Easter Rally again. I know very well in my heart that it is gonna be very tiring and a tough job for me (add on the stress for facing SPM next year) but I am prepared and this time, more prepared to be stretched and used by God again and also believing that He will always be there for me, to give me rest and strength when I need it! =) I believe a better purpose in me! Emerge for me this year, one word to describe - UNBELIEVABLE!! =) Emerge is over right now, but we CHCians have just started to rise! AMEN!!!! Our God is a good God. =) ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST ASK AND BELIEVE! (according to His will of cus) ^^... Really wanna thank God for giving me a chance to participate in these competitions, making me like things I dislike before. Also thank Him for placing me in such amazing church with amazing people!!!!! Of cus I also wanan thank my leaders and also those who asked me to join spelling bee and footdrill ^^ 

Love Germ =)

Letter to me - <<- to hear the song =)

Lyrics

If I could write a letter to me
and send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying
look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy
no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
when you break up after seven months
And yeah, I know you really liked her,
and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast, and it's rare.

And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
But I know at 17, it's hard
to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife
sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive *but*
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me.

At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely
Don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Bridget
Make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it
That one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
And you should really thank Mrs. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishing you 'til you shine.

And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
But I know at 17 it's hard
to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
but you're staying home instead
Because if you fail algebra,
mom and dad will kill you dead *but*
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me.

You've got so much *up* ahead
You'll make new friends,
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by saying HAVE NO FEAR,
THESE ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE.

I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can.

And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
But I know at 17,
it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, Let it be
I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see.

If I could write a letter to me, to me...

Love Germ =)

Visit to Tenmoku Pottery

Together with Ee Laine, Jocelyn, Yi yin and some other students in school, we went to visit the tenmoku pottery factory weeks ago. We get to see and observe a little bit of how pottery works... Reminds me of Kim Bum... ahhh... =) Neways, after visiting the factory, we get to colour our own cup, and it was sent to the school few days ago. The colour we used before heating was red, but after heating, it turns brownish black because of the high heat preasure. We had some fun figuring out how to design our own cups and this is how mine turn up.

My Cup after heating, kinda cacated but loving it more and more

Lets Forgive  (< a link to a video... pls watch ^^)

"when deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive... forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." - Mary Karen Read

Being a True Friend... it is not always about yourself... It is not whether " What if they don't friend me?" or " What if they are just pretending to be my friend?". Being a true friend is about you being someones friend regardless whether that person treats you as a friend or an enemy. Sometimes, people may only be your friend to use you, and when they find no use in you anymore, they will just throw you a side, betray you and come back to you again when they need you. Always choose to forgive. It may be hard, but it is not impossible. Those people may had never appreciated your kindness, and always take your love for granted, they may even lie about you, causing others to loose trust on you, but still... conitnue to love them, to help them whenever they are in need. 

Remember, when u 'be' their friend, it doesn't mean that automatically they will 'be' your friend. It is not about you, but it is about them. Being a friend is also when you do something nice for people and not always hoping for something back. You may bless that person over 100 times and he/she had never even said a 'thank you' before, but true love comes when you help them because you love them, and not because you want them to love you and to appreciate you. Always choose to loose a game to win a friend. Remember, your career or fame cannot care for you when you are sick, but your friends and family can. Therefore, never loose a friend to win a game. It is not worth it. You may have the money and the fame, but that is just temporary happiness... But winning a friend's heart is long-lasting joy. 

Never resist to be someones friend just because you are afraid that that person doesn't treat you as a friend. Think about this... If Jesus is ever afraid to be betrayed by His disciples and those that He had heal, or maybe afraid that noone will appreciate what He does for them, or maybe people will put the blame on Him and lie about Him although He is always doing the right thing and helping people... Will He choose to die on the cross for us? If Jesus ever think like that, we will still be a dreadful sinner... We won't be able to connect with God easily today. But NO... Although Jesus knows that His disciples will deny him, that everyone will betray Him, say lies about Him, curse Him and persecute Him, use His grace for granted and never appreciate Him,  HE STILL CHOSE TO FORGIVE US, and died on the cross for us, so that we can be holy once again. Imagine the pain Jesus was experiencing on the cross... not just physically, but all those betrays and unloyalty by His love ones... Is your cut deeper than His? However, He forgive us and love us. He is our true friend, a good example of what being someone's true friend could be like. And now, it is our turn to forgive others who had hurt us, to love them always and give our best to them. Hope to be a friend, and not always hoping for people to be your friend. Love others first. Take the first step, just as how Jesus had take His first step to love us first, forgive us, and died on the cross for us, before knocking on the door of our hearts for us to believe in Him. Let us learn how to forgive, and also to be a true friend. If you think that you are not loved, You are WRONG. Jesus loves you... That's why, he died on the cross for you. He is 'being' your friend, not because of what you've done and what you have not done, not because of you believing in Him or you 'being' His friend... but it is because of His great love for you. =)

Love Germ

After that, around 7.30, we finally managed to get in. Well, things went worse there. At first we were standing well at the middle, it wasnt that bad... at least we have fresh air. Then suddenly, those brainless people just come squeezing in armies. They were as stinky as a skunk, or perhaps worse...  Before even AAR appeared, my legs hurted. I was so afraid that i couldn't march the next day. Then it became worse. By time we were squeezed like sardins in a can, no place to even move our heads. Those brainless people still wanna squeezed in like no one bussiness. I felt like i was being molested cos everyone around was STICKED to each other... sweating!!! EWWWW!!!...( immediately bathed when i reached home). Anyway... after sometime, we couldn't stand the squeez anymore, so we fled to the back... it was soo much better (AWESOME!!) Never had appreciated Fresh Air that much. Well, it was 9.30pm  when AAR FINNALLY APPEARED! Hate to admit, but THEY were AWESOME, but not worth the wait. Well, famous artist are never puncual for their concerts... haiz... made us stand for 7 hours!!!!! leg pain like MAD!!!!!... so this is how the concert goes... for me. =)

Love Germ.
