2 days of funtabulous time (gettin fat too!)

On the 13th to the 14th of December 6 of my Surabayan ACS(I) friend and I decided to go to Malang to visit Anthony’s place and had some kicking fun time there. It was originally planned and initiated by my chubby friend, Alvin Toffler (not the famous writer ‘duh’). Yea, so it was NOT easy to plan such a trip though, with all the time clashes, driver problems (since we need to hire a driver), lodging, and all so I think I should really thank Alvin for the effort, not forgetting Happy for finding the driver, Steven for the car, Anthony for the lodging and food, and of course my friends who make this trip fun, fun, and fun.

So it’s like the first time all the Indo ACS(I) scholar from Surabaya in my batch to go together + Alvin and Anthony of course. They are: Clifford, Liauw, Happy, Steven, Lionardy, and me, added by Alvin and Anthony; and so the eight of us stayed at Anthony’s relative’s villa.

First day we make a 2 hours trip to Malang reaching Anthony’s house. So after that we decided to go to Jatim Park II (Jawa Timur Park II) which is a zoo! It’s a zoo though, but I think we do more of camwhoring rather than observing the animals. Haha so it was a fun time, since we never go out as a batch before. So at night we go to the night carnival thingy, so we played many many many games. The ghost house was lousy though, but the shooting game was super fun. It is like a counter strike in a real life. It uses laser and sensor, so it’s not painful. The next day we go to an amusement park which is Jatim Park I. There we played many fun rides such as coaster and ghost house.

I think what makes the trip nice is NOT the places that we visit, but it is the company of friends. I realize how fun it is to be with them, shouting in rides, playing seven spades (where we shout and accuse each other till we lose our voice :D:D), also camwhoring sessions. It’s like one super fun trip which is only possible when you have such great friends around you, and I am grateful for that! I just hope that we can go out again next time, having this kind of fun times in our life that we can remember, so that we cherish each other’s company.

Thanks: Alvin, Anthony, Clifford, Happy, Liauw, Lio, Steven (in alphabetical order :D:D)

"Dream big, coz dreams are free anyway!" Pastor Kong Hee

It's been like, one month since I wrote my last post. Quite a long time ago. Yep, so today I decided to write down some inspiring message preached by my pastor (Kong Hee).
I'm in Indo now, but I am super happy because in the weekend which just passed, my pastor from Singapore came and preached! so yea, although this is somewhat a repetition to the sermon i heard before, but I guess it is still powerful to change my life and inspire me anew.

Here the story goes:
"Anything great is started with a dream" said my pastor, opening his sermon in a youth service. He basically go on with stories and all, but the main points lie within the 5 types of dreams which we can have!
1. People with NO DREAMS
These people with no dreams, just live their life as if they are doing it for nothing. In your life, if you don't have any dreams then you will achieve nothing! Since you don't know what you are looking for.
2. People with LOW DREAMS
Dream Big! Don't just live with superficial dreams. e.g: getting a lot of money. try making a legacy to your generation. People with low dreams will not be able to achieve great things in life.
3. People with WRONG DREAMS
Many people in life regretted in the end of their lifespan because for so many years, they had been climbing the wrong ladder leading to the wrong places. Make sure that in any dreams that you have, your end product is one thing, "to glorify GOD", because in the first place that's what human are all about, and make sure you worship the right GOD, the GOD that have died in the cross for all of us and His name is JESUS.
4. People with VAGUE DREAMS
Don't dream dreams that are vague, which in the end, you don't know what you are looking for. Make sure that you can pinpoint what is your dreams and call in your life. "Our GOD will grant the wishes of those who pray for specific things." - he added.
5. People with GOD's DREAMS
These are the dreams that all of us should dream of. The dreams that are given by GOD. When GOD gives us the dreams, He will also give us the ability to reach it! And He will definitely enable us to get it. However, in order to reach that dreams, sacrifices must be made! It's not going to be an easy road ahead. But without faith, it is impossible to please GOD. Thus, He made us walk those path to test our faith, but fear not for He will always be with us.
Now it's up to us whether we are up to the challenge ahead and become great to glorify Him or we just want to stay in our comfort zone and live a dull life. The ultimate choice is yours!

Cause friends are more valuable than gold

Hi! hahaha.. I think it has been quite a while since I last wrote my blog post.
So, it's like "FINALLY I GOT THE TIME!"
Okay, let's start off with something general: I've been quite well lately, it's just that TOK and EE almost get their hands on me, but yea, I finished it! so its GOOD! :D:D:D

So, for the past few weeks, I have been thinking more about my friends, my closer friends especially. And I really found out that they are the people that have supported me through (either you realize that or not). So yep, allow me to mention some names! *yay*

JohnNg, a brother that has supported me throughout my entire year, not tired of listening to me! it's a pity that we cannot meet very often, but I guess, friendship is not all about meeting, but it's more about caring and carrying each other (intended rhyme :D), especially in times of need. So I just hope that I can do the same to you too! BenWee, hmm.. lately I have discovered that you are such one person that likes lame jokes.. haha, I think it's a unique part of you eh! :D so yea, I have been thinking of telling you some story, but I guess I shouldn't for now, cause it's better for both of us, maybe next time when the situation is better eh. ;D (dont be curious eh). So yea, I look forward to come to your place! Kenta, my ex-classmate eh, means we share lots of memories, esp CDP and OEP! :D I think its good that you move to clementi, so can accompany me eat lol. ;P Yea, fun fun time man, those class outings when... you are not around.. (haha jk!) no la, I mean those CDP moments esp, when we stay together as a group.. But the best part of you is, the Japanese sweets! (haha jk..), no la.. jk, you should laugh when you see this eh, *laughing* so even we are not in the same class or cca or anything, but I do think of you as one of my closer friends, esp after that msn chat eh, the secret revealing msn chat! so yea, please
(added part) haha so yeah man, cya around soon eh.

xuanners, MAnneWee, JlZ-RTeo Hey guys!! DO you like your new name? Hahahaha.. pure randomness ok. So yep thanks eh, for always helping me around in class, really like our small group eh, when we can talk about random stuffz, like... (not mentioning it in public). but yea, I think our conversation topics are epic.

So the last one goes to a person that was closest to me for the past three years. I won't mention the name, but I guess you will know if you read this. Yeah, I just want to say to you that, no matter what you think about me, I still cannot forget the fact that you are one of my most precious friend. I really apologize if I am not as good or as nice as what you think, but, yea, lately those memories in the last two years really come to my mind, like the first asean dance, new year in marina, outings in clarke, cg experiences, and the recent asia conf. I still think those were good times. i may not be able to say those things directly, but deep down, I do think of you as an important person in my life.. :D

A Land Far Away

Hmmm.. I think I am kinda like living in Singapore. Loving the bits and pieces of my living here. After one year living here, I really feel like this place is more comfortable, ironically more than my own house in Indo.

This kinda sounds wrong, but I gotta admit it, it is the truth. Not only that, I am also drifting away from my culture of "Indo", especially my friends. it is not saying that they are not nice or whatsoever, it is NOT! but once again, I just felt that I am gonna look friendship from a different perspective, not bounded by race or nationality. In fact, I have found that my closer friends are those non-Indo. I don't know, maybe some people call me arrogant by doing so, or even, they think that I think lowly of scholars. This is NOT the case. I just want to let them know, that friendship itself can be more free, not really bounded by race or nationality, but seeing them as an individual, as who they are! :D

Yep, so gotta thanks some of my Singaporean friends, that in turn, also show me that they doesn't think lowly of the people from other nations. :D:D although not all Singaporeans are like that, but I am glad, I have a bunch of friends that really show me that!

Yep.. but again, just telling you, no matter how many non-Indonesian friends that I have, I still cannot be contented, it is just like my roots still remain (thankfully). Just like OBI OKWONKWO in the story of SACRIFICIAL EGG. To the Indonesians, I just going to tell all my friends that your friendships are irreplaceable!

Note: This is not an emo post or complaint.. It is intended to just show how much my friends worth, let it be Indonesian, or non-Indonesian friends. I am really learning to accept people just the way they are!

Seniors' Farewell!

Whoa! I know it's kinda late now, but I think I should write my unforgettable experience in Sentosa with my beloved seniors and family from Dance Venia @ 31st August 2010!
Yep I think, it is just amazing how we all can stay close together, I think it's more than our passion, as a club, we are unique because we have love, not only for dance, but for each other!
We started out the outing with some frisbee game! (lol, my first frisbee game is a fail!), but nvm, I think I have fun with them! it's just awesome! Some people decided nt to play and sit around to sing songs!
Suddenly there are shouts of people, and a group of people started to run! means: DUNKING TIME! It's funny to see how we try to dunk each other one after another! Oh, and I don't really expect myself to get dunked so soon. :/
But nevertheless it's just the family feeling that is there!
So we continue with eating!! PIZZA! GREAT TIME of fellowship and catching up! Yep, I decided to sit and sing together with people like Jaime, NatChia, Jon Koh, Peter, Gideon, and David Ong (wohoo your guitar rocks!).. Yep so we sing songs ranging from like old songs, to new songs, even church songs! Great time! :D:D:D
At later, we all went together into the shore, just as a tradition to listen to speeches of the seniors and exco! I guess, it's the best and the most memorable time, especially when we talk, there are always fireworks at the side!!! AWESOME! It's all awesome experience.

On the last note: WE LOVE YOU SENIORS! Quote: "We want no seniors, no seniors but you!"

My Week of Craziness

Okay. frankly speaking, this week, has been a crazy week. I had too much mental stress to handle. So ridiculous. I haven't got in that much pressure for long time. So, if you want to know why, is because of MANY REASONS.

First, school work! I realized that loads of deadlines and project are due this week, and I don't have any idea how to finish everything. Great. I am also under many pressure from like CCA duty and other commitment and anguish. So, basically I cannot work. To tell you the truth, I can only work in a peaceful mind, and doing work in an anguish is the same as putting double stress on my mind. Yep, I must thank God and many people that encourage me and just support me at different times, so that I keep on moving.
Second, CCA work and commitment, so basically stuff just happen that I have teacher's day performance + seniors' farewell + other stuff + school work. So, I just cannot rest. Okay, if I am stressed, then I will sleep, but I guess, I am not able to take a break, coz the work I have to do from school + CCA after school are just enormous.
Third, issues, okay. Recently I just have a not-so good relationship with one of my friends. This keep on coming to my mind, but I think I should not share this and keep it to myself. But if you read this, I guess I just want to go back and resolve, but I realize it is a very selfish desire. So I just leave everything to GOD. If He wants that, then it shall happen, but if not, then I will accept. If in the case that you read this: "I am happy for you if things get better for you, genuinely"

Okay, enough about complaining, I shall talk how I survived this week. Obviously first is by God's help. I feel that all of this make me realize how small I am and how great He is. I also hear His voice more clearly these days, guiding me of what to do. I just cannot live one day this week without Him telling me "Everything gonna be okay, cause look! My hands are holding yours, we are going to go through this together, and you are not going to be alone, I will be with you"
So, many many many thanks to God, I just hope I can keep this intimacy with Him.
Next, I also want to thank the my closer friends that have been supporting me and just pray or give advice for me.
First, John Ng
. Man! Thanks for being super caring, like asking my day or just spending time to call me to share with me and pray for me. You are the most supporting friend I have ever had, and I am serious! I am seriously happy that you are entrusted many many many responsibility, like connect gp leader and usher. Keep moving on, don't get caught up in work and always remember Him! Next, Ben Wee, ok I admit I haven't known you for long, but I guess you are just super nice. Great to be good friend with you. Oh, pls share with me if you are troubled or sth. I will try to help! Kevin Toa, Frankly speaking, you are the best senior that I know. Thanks for all the tips in IB and all your suggestion. as I said, you are "Simply Amusing" :D (intepret for yourself). Yea, so thanks a lot man! Michelle, ChuXuan, JoelTeo, Calvin S, you all are the closest classmates.. Thanks people, looking forward to hang out more often with you guys! Oh and Mark Chan too, that keep me company for Math!

Ok so basically, I just feel super blessed, that God has been closer to me, and nothing is better than that. More than that, He send people to support me. Thanks people for just supporting me during this week of craziness. It is going to end SOON! SOON!

20th August 2010 - Legendary Day

20th August 2010, reminded me of a BAD as well as a GOOD day..
OK, first I share why is it a GOOD day:
First of all, today is my SISTER'S birthday! Yay!! Happy birthday! Although you never read this, I do miss you! I wish I could celebrate it with you, and Karina and Melissa. I wish you a fantabulous birthday! Second one, today, I walk her to the bus stop. I think I am improving to become a better and sweeter guy (I hope so).. Yea, and I think seeing her happy face is also a joy for me! Keep smiling!

Ok, why today is a BAD day:
The day is long, the stupid EDB waste my time! Walao! Only chem is useful today.. enough with the school stuff. Moving on to the more personal stuff. For me personally, my best friends come in the third priority in my life after God and my family. So, basically they are VERY VERY important to me. However, I think I am not being a good friend to them. I disturb the two of them yesterday through msn, and I could not apologize enough. So basically, I just realize that I have not been a good friend, although they have done so much to me. In particular one of them (I should not mention name), is annoyed with me yesterday. I think I am being too kaypoh, as well as too demanding. I guess, it's not good to ask so much question. yeah, I really don't intend to invade your life. I apologize for that.
I just hope that I can be your best friend again, and I will try to change. Cause for me losing a best friend is like losing a part of me (may sound exaggerated, but I guess it applies to me). Just a wish though.
Oh another thing, I wish someone birthday at the wrong date. How could I! (So embarrassed now)..

Somebody To Lean On

Oh, I encountered this song, and I think it is appropriate to dedicate this songs to my best friends, and those who have helped me, especially in IB. Hope you all like it.

Lean On Me
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride, if i have things you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those needs that you won't let show.

You just call on me brother when you need a hand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you't not strong, and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna' need somebody to lean on.

You just call on me brother if you need a friend.
We all need somebody to lean on.

Unhappy

This past week I have been feeling really unhappy! And I do mean it! I know I never say this to anyone, not even my best friends or parents, but I do feel unhappy, I really cannot take it now, so I am gonna write it here. You can choose to stop reading here if you don't want to see me complain and complain, oh but do see the last two paragraph.

I know that I have been laughing and smiling in front of everyone this week. Everyone thinks I am satisfied and happy, oh and I do want people to think of me that way. But really, I am breaking down inside. I cannot help it, but at least I don't want to break down in front of people.

To see it as a whole, I does not enjoy my life this past week. It's not the matter of Chemistry EE, or about her. It's just that I feel very insecure about life. Insecure about things in the future. My daylight activities turn into a bad dreams, and even my sleep turns into nightmares (and I mean literally). I guess since I am a guy, I cannot really talk about this kind of thing to my best friends rite? That's why sometimes blog is very useful.

I guess it is not the matter of having friends or status or great CCA and academic. I feel that the past few months I am like looking for "apples" (read the poem The Apple Picking by Robert Frost). I guess, it is really true, the higher you climb, the harder the ladder will swing and the boughs bend, and yea, I do feel insecure. Insecure of losing what I have now, insecure of losing my best friends, my CCA, my achievements, etc.

I can feel the pressure inside, not only because of IB (school is only a part of it). I guess the problems that struck me lately also have an impact. I am scared and scarred. I feel like sitting on the ladder which I am climbing, the ladder of life.

I guess, I realize something. I feel void inside, the inside of me is crying to be filled. I guess, I have been far from God these past weeks. I have been very busy concentrating on other stuffs that I don't really think about Him. It is true, indeed very true that without Him, you are just a void container that looks alive, but dead in the inside. I am dead in the inside, feeling left out. I guess, the world cannot fix my situation right now, not friends, not family, not even achievements or money. The one thing that I need right now, is Him.

I just want to hear that still small voice saying, "Ivan, I still love you the same", and I do mean that. God has a distinct voice that none can express, and I dare to say that the world cannot give me that sense of security and pleasure as God does.

My History Note (I am an Introvert!!)

Haha, I think putting up a story of my history, of what I had experienced before.
I think for this time, I want to talk about my past that explains my introvert behavior.

For many of you this fact may not be known, but I am raised in my primary school days with a single parent (my dad), since my mom died of cancer last 12 years. So I have been living with single parent of like almost 7 years before my dad remarried with my stepmother that brings 3 of my sisters. I am raised in the environment with lots of girls, that's why when I came to Singapore for the first time, entering a boys school, I really feel left out, cause I really don't have many good friends that are guys. It's a tough start for me.

I have a super good friend, as like my older brother (He is 6 years older than me!), before I went to Singapore, he is diagnosed with a cancer in his stomach. 1 month before I went to Singapore to study, he gone through his fourth stage of cancer. Doctors predict that his life can only extend to the first January 2008. I turned to be a super emo person at that point of time. I am thinking whether cancer will take precious people around me away from me. I prayed for him everyday, drying my tears off my eyes.

He is the first best friend I ever had. Since in my lower secondary school days, my friends do not really care. I enter a school full of rich people. Super frustrating, they all have their gang and they only think of me as a helper to their school work (I am really sorry if it is not, but I really think that way at that time). So I feel like my trust is betrayed after some time, and since then, I become introvert, especially to guys.

You all may not know it, but when I first come here, I am always afraid of being alone. I don't really talk to anyone about this though. My first group of friends are the Surabayans that come to Singapore like Steven, Clifford, and Liauw. This expands as I get to know those from Bandung since we go on an outing together. I get to know many people. The first person I get close to is Lucky. Oh, then I get to know Heizel and Sunson as my classmates.

God really brings me here to teach me many things, and one of the things I learned is to make friends with many people. My relationship with friends stays at one of my top values in life. I really thanked God that He brings me here. I get to know many wonderful people and fun people.

On the last note I want to say thanks to:
those who hated me, you have enlarged my heart
those who loved me, you have make my life fun and bright
those who support me, you have definitely changed my life
those who try to bring me down, you have teach me to be stronger
those who envy and jealous to me, you have give me great self esteem
those who compliments me, you have given me confidence
those whom I shared my life story with, you have definitely become one of my good friends
God, for You have shown me Your great plan over the years

Post that is written with tears (not my tears alone, but together with His)

Today I am really sad.

When I walked to the EE supervisor list, I found out that I get a secondary school teacher. I am terrified, and I almost make a super wrong decision to change subject. But luckily, I don't, I just don't feel like giving up.

These past view days have been tough for me, although people always see me laughing around, joking around, and all, the truth is I am facing problems in life. I cannot say that they are big problems or what, but it does affect my life. So, the past few days I have been talking to one of my best friend and ended up complaining and comparing with him. He takes it all without any single complaints hearing all my stories. I really thank God for him, and I pray that I can also be as strong as him. I do hope that I can do the same to him also!

Oh, back to my EE, when I started complaining to God automatically at the chemistry lab, He said something that awakens me.
He said:
"Is your supervisor so important to You? Don't you say you trust Me in your schoolwork? Can't you believe that with any supervisor, you can do well for EE, if I am in favor with you? I thought you raised up your hand yesterday when you said that I can bring trials to your life? So why are you complaining now? Isn't my love sufficient to carry you through life?"
Oh to tell you the truth, It calms me down. When I reach my room and my bed, I hear His voice again, "Don't worry, everything will be okay. Haven't you seen it throughout your entire life? Have I disappoint you before? This time again, I will be by your side, so no one can bring you down."
To tell you the truth, the time when I heard this and write this, I CRIED! It's just great to have Him in my life. Not just that, He also gives me a best friend that stand by my side, and I thank Him for both.

Psalm 23: 4
Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; For You are with me.
I don't think I walked through an experience as bad as the valley of death, but this really shows how much King David has trusted the Lord, and I shall do the same. For He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Woo hoo! Results out!

Yep2, results were released today! Somehow I don't really feel like super anxious or whatsoever or even a tiny bit of fear. I guess it is because of Him, I proudly say that the peace that I have is not because of my confidence in my performance or what, but it is solely because of His peace that transcends all understanding.

Yeah! I got a good 35 points. (I am sorry, but I am not revealing my details here, hahaha)..
But seriously, once again, it is solely because of Him, and I am proud of having Him in my life.. But I think I am still guilty of something, I am guilty of not being brave enough to tell everyone that it is really not my work but His. So I want to reveal the truth here, that all my work are NOTHING, compared to His great love and faithfulness that enables me!

I want to end this post by a quote from one of my friend's status I saw: (Grace Ann)

"how do you manage to get 35 points!?" "It's not me, it's all Him."

Life not so forgiving

I think it's really time for me to see life from another perspective. After the sermon about tests in life, the real test really comes to me from today.

It started out with envy, it is true that when you are under pressure, you tend to think of other people having a better life than you

Second tests come in school work. I am really scared of my school; fears of not doing well covered me like mad. I do not know why it comes. Other that school is CCA, I know I am struggling in my dance. I really lagging behind and the fact itself pressurizes me greatly.

The last tests are about "it". Shall not elaborate the things, I am trying to figure out things now.

God, really help me in these times. I am pressurized now. I want to have the spirit of Caleb in Numbers 14:24. Help me to just trust in You. Finally, I want to ask anyone who read this post: "please, please pray for me", I do really hope my good friends can support me during this period of time.
:(:(:(:(:(

Exammm!!! U are over!!

Phew! Exams are finally over! To tell you the truth, I enjoyed quite a bit of the exam time, not because of the paper (duh -____-), but because of something else. Whenever I had exams, especially the major ones, I always think of a battle, a battle to be fought together with God, not alone! That's why I enjoyed it, it is a platform for me to get closer to Him!

I really thanked God that this exam is over, even though some of the papers are quite badly done (T_T) but nevermind, I have done my best and I know that God is with me, so whatever results I will get, I will promise that I will thank Him. Owh, and the last day of exam which is the Friday was quite a fun day also!

I started off the day with the papers (duhhhh!) and then I went for a "bible study" group in the school where a group of people meet up together to pray and worship and share! I heard many interesting stories from different people! After that, I went for a movie! Yay!
To tell you the truth, I am not a big fan of the twilight series, but I think the movie is good!! (although I am not particularly interested in the love scenes), but I think it is cool and watching it is definitely worth it!

Other than movie and watching soccer (I think for the first time I enjoyed watching the match, coz got so many goals), I also enjoyed much of going for Dr. AR Bernard Sermons!!
First he talked about the choices to be made mentioning that we must grow in the 4 aspect as we are BioPsychoSocialSpiritual people! The next sermon was easier than the previous, but still it brings impact to me as he teaches about marriage and putting others' need first! Owh, and the communion support service was quite fun as I was able to see my friend John, after sooo long, like 2 months? Yup and he is still as nice as the last time we met! :D

Wooo! and the last one was going out for sakae buffet with my friend: Adit, Heizel, and Deiver! Such a hilarious night as we went there to eat much, in the end, forcing ourselves to finish the food which we order! Hahaha.. Adit cannot take it and vomited, but the funny thing is that another old man was vomiting too, after eating Sakae.. wonder what happen though!

Anyway, I really have fun these three days, thanks to all my friends, but most importantly GOD! that has carried me through the exam period and let me enjoy my post-exam period!

Just a little thanks, for Everyone!

Thinking about it, I think the past semester has been a great blessing for me. It has really been a great, great time of my life. I just think that it is appropriate to just thank certain people that has been great during my first semester in IB..

My parents - For all the support and encouragement. It does help me to go through my struggles and needs.

My OG mates, Class-mates - Been with all of you is super fun, really. OG has been a great time, although we didn't really bond like any other OG, but I don't want to be a part of any other OG. OG6 is really the best for me. Thanks guys. For my classmates, it is really fun to know you guys, especially at WOW. We may not be the funnest class of all, but we certainly has the class spirit. I mean the way people support each other and hw people jokes and play werewolves were super2 fun.

My CG and Usher Friends - Yup! Thanks for all, although I didn't really meet u all often but it has been great! Serving with the fellow usher, just sharing about life and all really lighten my spirit up! Watching you all serve God with that passion is just mind blowing; sometimes I do feel ashamed of myself for not having the passion that you all have!

Dance Venia and Dance Exco Family - Been great with u'all, especially the times when we go for the dance camp! I hope I can know everyone better in the future. For the dance Exco, really, thanks for being supportive. For Beaurhys and Kevin, thanks for helping with my money Job by taking over the dance t-shirt money job. For Jaime, thanks for always being so cheerful and supportive!

Heizel - Really thanks for all your helps and all. Thanks for being my best friend again! Hanging out with you has been a fun fun time. Although sometimes we may look like fools that are going around Orchard, finding a particular brand of sweets which is available in 711, and all; but sharing my life story and all with you has been a great time for me. I think having you as my best friend is really a privilege.

John Ng - Man! Your life story and faith is really the greatest ENCOURAGEMENT for me. The way you trusted God for your life really makes me aware that what I am facing is nothing! Sorry for all my childish act, for being sad and all. But really thanks for being my ear in my times of need and all the prayer support. You are really the best man! I am happy that I met you in Usher Ministry. I hope I can support you the same way! Have fun with your new school! Share with me soon!

Natalie Wong - Yo! be more active in speaking kay! Thanks for all the help in Econs class and everything. I think you are a fun girl! Just be more energetic in class okay! We all shall improve in the future! Lets strive for the best!

Chu Xuan - Hey super fun little girl! Haha, thanks for making my class super enjoyable, your jokes, singing, and stupid faces have really brought the strength back to go through the day! Keep being cheerful and supportive. P.S: dont worry about IB, we can make it through, okay!

Michelle and Stephanie - Yo! my appreciation really goes out to you for your help in WOW. I mean, it is really a childish side of me for acting like that, but thanks for showing your love(as a friend) and your care for me.

First Post - and it's about Dance!!!

Wow, my first post, I really don't know why I want to write blogs.
Anyway, today I really feel ... bad, super bad. I mean, I feel like not going for dance again, but somehow, I just feel that it's a waste to throw dance away. Here the story goes: everyone slack, Sir got angry and dissapointed, Jen upset. Typical old story.
Somehow, my lost passion for dance makes me feel bad, yeah really. Fortunately, Sir's talk and the videos does shout to my heart. Special thanks to my dance exco family that is always supportive for one another! Y'all the best man! seriously! I never fail to laugh at every exco meeting when kelbert, beaurhys, jaime, and sir make jokes.
Moving on, yeah, I think I will stay in dance. I want to recover those lost passion, losing it means losing a part of me.
