HELP!! I NEED A BREAK!!

I am feeling tired, worn out and sick. I need a break. I need a holiday!! I will be going for one after no matter, no matter what's ahead on my schedule. Think will be flying to Perth, for 2 weeks at least. Need a break from Singapore, everything good n bad.. I just need a break. Will be a good time for me to do lots of thinking, reflection, planning.

Weekends are always so short, cos they are days spent with people I love most. But there are times when time seems so slow, when you are waiting for things you want to happen.. Dear God, what have you planned for me ahead? Only if I can take a peep at it.

Was sick since last Thursday, am down with flu, fever, cough, sore throat. Kept swallowing down panadol cold relief, cos i wanna get well to play soccer on Saturday. Dont wannt spread my germs to others around too. Finally get to see Wai and hear his voice live, not thru phone or sms. Was rather shock to talk to Elliot on Friday noon. Havent seen him for months, expecting him to forget bout my name. When the phone was passed to little Elliot, his first words are "Hello, Kor Kor Richman.. " Andrew must be sad, cos Elliot forgot his name. haha

Why are there so many people born in the month of January? I need both my hands and legs to count them. Quite frustrating, to see them celebrating bdae in the early period of the year. Cos I just celebrated mine not along ago, and now they are already 1 year older again. And I have to wait for another 10 months b4 mine comes again. lol.. stupid tots. I know its kinda late, but will like to wish happy belated birthday to: Vishnu, Kah, Irene, Fiz, Alicia, Melanie, En, Xian, Win, Char, Dace, Wai, Maria and ELLIOT!! Sorry for those I've left out, I am sick, hope you will forgive me.. haha

Had quite a fun Sunday afternoon. When to eat and shop at hougang point. Went to the NTUC there to shop with Aunt Jane, and while she does her shopping. Me pix edwin and justin took these photos..


This week, we are taught not to show favourtism and judge others. Not an easy thing to do, cos every little thing we say or think, we are already judging people. Must learn to treat each other fairly, not to be nice only to the people you like or are close with. Who we sit with in church and already reflect us showing favourtism. We tend to sit with people we always talk with, and neglect the more quiet ones and new comers. No matter what, we should never give up trying as God did not give up on us.. Strive on brothers and sisters..

*4 more months to ORD!!

Trials & Temptations

What a rainy day it has been today. Rained the whole evening. Stupid rain spoilt our plans for soccer today. Cant wear the new shoe that I have bought.. Spent 60 bucks on it today. Looks and feels quite good, hope to be able to score more goals with it.


Since we can't play soccer, as it is raining, so we decide to go for some indoor games. Haha, in the end its bowling again. We have been bowling for the 4th time this time. Expensive game, so got to control a bit. After the upcoming FOM Bowling Tournament on 3rd Feb, we guys got to really cut down on bowling and play more soccer or any free games. Played quite well today, have not scored so high for a long time, so took a photo of it and not to offend the other bowlers, the
names are not shown.

Noticed something very funny about the socks they provide at the bowling alley. The brand of the sock is called "Darkie" and it has the logo of the old Darlie toothpaste, the black man with white teeth.


---------------------------------------------


Learnt many things at today's Bible Studies. Learnt that we should not just be hearers, but that we must also be doers of God's word. We should not just hear His words and do nothing about it, we must practise what we preach. But the main and new thing I have learnt, is the difference between Trials and Tempations.

Trials are from God, they are there to test our faith and we should find true joy from trials. Cos when we undergo different trials, it will test our faith and produces steadfastness. In time, we will be perfect and complete, not lacking of anything. We do not find true joy by winning a lucky draw, or scoring all A's in the exam, as all these are temporal. Its when we are perfect and brought back to heaven, that's where true joy is. Its not easy to understand and agree with it, may we continue to encourage one another and be steadfast under trials.

And what about temptations? They do not comes from God, as tempatations are there to pull us away from God. But temptations are not totally bad if we do overcome and become victorious over them. Therefore we should never give up when we face trials or temptations. We should persevere and always go back to the Bible and pray to God for guidance.

Thank You Boss

Really thankful to my officer, for tolerating and forgiving all my careless mistakes. He has never ask me to sign any extras before, despite always getting him into trouble and in the end need him to help me cover my mistakes. He's the most welfare officer and I am thankful to have him as my officer...

Up or down I go?

Though I am now a Christian, I do not think that I have been living a life and is so called worthy of God. In fact, everyday that I live, I have been sinning. As easy as a simple ungodly thought, I have already sin, so don't talk bout other sins that have to be physically commited. I know that we still have our old body with us, though we are given a new spirit, but I just keep commiting the same sin over and over again. Sometimes I just wonder, will I be save when the Lord comes? Knowing that Jesus had already died for me, sins have been forgiven, but I ain't living a life worthy to Him. I will still lose my inheritance if my life does not change. Think the first step to do is to have a consistent and solid quiet time with God daily. Thats the basic of basic that we must do. In order to know God better, thats the only way. But the problem now is, my quiet time is not consistent. Do for a few days, then stop for a few weeks. It seems that I only turn to God when I am in trouble, otherwise when I am doing fine, I will put God in a corner of my mind. This is not the right thing to do. All of us have to put God in the center of our life. Its not easy but if we continue to strive on, with the help of prayer and also encouragement from other. I believe that we all can reach that goal. I am sure I am not the only person facing this problem. So continue to hang on guys.. Share in each other prayers need. Tolerate one another, love one another. Love God by putting Him in the center of your life.

Why is time crawling now?

People always say that time flies, but why is time crawling now? The last 6months of my ns life seems to be so slow. Have to plan my leave and off properly, so that the last few months will seems shorter. But think of the procedures I have to go thru before ording makes me a bit sian, but do health check ups (ffi), get so many signatures from so many different people. What should I do after ord? Kind of sick of studying and parents not really finanial ready to send me to Uni. Go out to look for a job? What can i do? Problems that I have to face when my ord date gets nearer. Pray for God's guidance on my future, be it in my love life and also working life.

Had a tiring weekend this week. Played cpt's ball, soccer and basket on saturday, under the blazing afternoon sun. Had lots of fun though, playing games with the guys and girls of FOM. sob sob.. liverpool is out of FA Cup!!!! all thanks to arsenal!! haizz.. what can i say bout it? gonna face arsenal in a few more days again, this time in league cup. Hope that liverpool will win this time. If not it will be so humiliating to be kick out of 2 cups by same team.

Had a crazy and fun Sunday too.. We had a crazy $20.20 dim sum buffet at Dragon Gate Restaurant. We ordered so much that we got to force oursleves to finish it up. The food wasn't
really great too.


After the stomach bursting dim sum buffet, we went to play bowling at SAFRA Mount Faber. We divided ourself to hougang and non hougang. In hougang we have jenn yang, andrew and dominic. Non hougang we have justin, me and benjamin. We won the first set, but the Hougang got their form, and continue to win the next 2 sets. haha, had lots of fun. Expecially watching andrew bowl. Didnt know he can play quite well, as his funny liang po po post.


Really hope to have more outings with the youths, so to be able to know some of them better and also to grow and love each other in christ. Weekends just pass so quickly, its another 5 days of boring ns life. Cant wait for next sat..
