# Cell Presentation
Today was the day we celebrated our first anniversary as YA. Not the actual date, but it was an actual party. Went down to church early for decor work. Things i found out
-im weak
-Rayvin can go mad when cutting paper
-climbing ladders is fine for me
-Livia is very creative
-the BASC has not too nice chairs
-cookies can smell really nice (=
-i owe Winnie $1.35
It was really nice with colours all over. For hte first time, the YA decor matched the BASC Hall, which is like super kiddish. I mean, they have colours, teddy bears, fished, and everything else kiddish all over the place. And YOUNG ADULTS's decor matched it. Lolz... So much for being grown up eh? But it was a cheery kind of colourful.
So a quick run through of events before we actually start the main highlight. It started with Aiken and Sam emcee-ing, then it flowed on to Michelle for the events of the day. Ps Mark gave a great sharing about our history as Champions for Christ. Why we exist, and that we are NOT a social club. We exist for such a greater purpose than that.
Ok while my other browser window opens up, i'll move along. Oh wait, we had spongebob wetpants game too. Quite funny, and XiuYu is so not violent. Haha, good thing Hui Koon didn't get the ice cold sponge first. But the guys were really violent, and Alex got the worst of it. Hehe.. Sam was mad lar.. threw ice cold water over him when he got the sponge, and we were stil in the hall mind you.. Out came the mops as we hurried to dry up "Fantasy Island" as Michelle called it.
Ah, here it is, after much searching, the awesome Isaiah 19
20It will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a (AF)Savior and a (AG)Champion, and He will deliver them.
Yup, we are called to be the Champions for Christ (CFC) in our Egypts, in the places we are in, meeting the needs of our generation which cries out for a saviour! So that's who we are!
Fun part of the night was that everyone there got notebooks!! Freee!!!! or was it included in the price.. hmm.. dun think so. But quite fun ryte? YA's birthday and we all get presents. Quite a nice concept (=
Other cool stuff that happened that night, was Alex "the new preacher"'s testimony. Very nice!! *claps n shouts!* haha. The cells were all geared up that night for the main highlight, okay, the newcomers were the main highlight, but this stile ur thunder.... CELL PRESENTATIONS!!
Okay, we had like.. more than a month to do it... but us being us, we stalled and procrastinated and gave excused and lazed our way till this very deadline arrived, and i think i can safely say ALL the cells did theirs this week. Super obvious one was Alvin's cell (not cuz theirs was lousy, but cuz they stayed at Sennett all Friday to complete it)...so here it is... the CELL PRESENTATIONS
Let me start with my very own cell. Ours was the ONLY dual screen presentation using ONE laptop! Haha!! Others (like Bert's) also had dual screen, but they had TWO laptops, i had the privilege of setting up two screen's on my laptop. Ok, TJ's laptop. And the fact is this laptop sucks.. not powerful enough to run a powerpoint and a video without lagging... So sad, and the video is also super small lar.. 7 minutes and only 25mb leh.. Ok, apart from the whining, let's continue to how ours looked like. At first it looked like it was gonna look super business like, black table cloth, black PC, black 2nd LCD screen. Then came along FX the saviour with the colourful decor, which included her darling turtle on a chair, multiple pictures of food and other items (like e-guitars, flutes, food, soccer, food, popiah, food) did i say food? But anyway, it was very highlighting for our exhibition as it was all black other than that! And i also used one as a mouse pad.. hehe.. But anyway, it was really really one of the best exhibits there! Plus James put his Liverpool jersey as part of the tablecloth for our exhibit so it didn't look too black. If i get the photo then i'll upload here lar k? It's on Roland's cam though...
Ok, other exhibits, let's see, right beside ours was the uber loud, sub-woofer blasting, jai-breaking (literally mind you), attention catching, ART INSTALLATION of Rachael's cell. Come on, would you expect anything less from their uber loud cell? They literally made a prison CELL (see the pun) out of scaffolding, and then taped warning notices all over about how this cell helps you to BREAK FREE!! They also played Break Free (from SAVIOUR KING which is not out in SG yet on the blasting Creative Sub Woofer system they installed together with their installation) to go along with the theme. They had before and after photos which were very cool, with captions like
Before : wife-basher (Aiken i think)
After : Demon-basher
Before : prostitute (Rachael)
After : Preacher!!
So funny! And had their cell vision and all that. Not too far away was KINGs INC with their cokie store which was selling cookies for the building fund, along with tjeir blog exhibition. Maybe i should try to get the link so u guys can see. They has pictures of their blog, one big artpiece on their blog and many cookies on sale with a nice green/yellow crepe paper bow (=
Also near us was I dunno who's cell with the super cool "board game" detailing how their cell grew, together with a MacBook "built into the game's 3D board". Quite cool cuz its like there is a hole that has a curtain, and behind is a screen with their cell's movie.
Then Vanessa's cell, which is the biggest cell with 10 people had this really huge board with the cityscape in black. Then they punctured holes and fit lightbulbs into the buildings with their cell members names on it. So cool ryte? Being literally the light of the world!! Then they even had free lightsticks at their booth. Also close by was Livia's cell, which had free Hershey's Kisses and a nice photo slideshow, photo banner, and two sheets on their cell with info on their goals, profile and such.
Other interesting ones.. wait.. they were all interesting.. REALLY! were Bert's cell which had this whole flash thing going on, where they had this whole story about how their cell is like this group which is being hunted down but got saved by God. Cool with all the special Flash effects in their video. Nicely done! Also had Alvin's cell which had the video of themselves, together with many items on sale. Quite ridiculous ones, all from the youth room. Even had broken drum crash cymbal on sale. Haha!
Then there was also Chellie's cell which had this huge board divided into 20 parts, and every member took one, together with their cell goals and all, with 3 empty spaces for growth! And Meredith or Meredicks as she is called, was giving a lecture on their presentation with a thin stick. Quite funny! And also Jayne pointed out her S.H.E picture in her box, together with her favourite "SALE" picture.
I think that is all the cell presentations, but i think if i can get the pictures only willl you guys know how awesome cool every cell's presentation was!!
I think my cell did quite well. IT was quite well done, if i don't literally say so myself, Decor had a touch of colour, while the double screen made it stand out. Oh, we had a lamp installed in as well to give light to the display as it was a night party.
Other cool stuff, Jayne's back from Korea, Chellie and I think this should be our Emerge! conference, where the cell exhibition will be the main highlight as we set to display our cells in all its glory and creative awesomeness!!
Haha, what else can i say about YA. We are just a bunch of awesome people, serving the most awesome God!!!
Nitez people, hope u enjoyed the party! (= Cheers!

# Can't Live A Day
Firstly, I just wanna tell people who don't already know, what Good Friday (look above, it's scrolling. haha) is really about.
Well, the story is very simple. Nobody is perfect. So people make mistakes (sin) right? So we have to pay the price for it. Woulnd't it be good if someone else paid it for us? That would be the essence of Good Friday! Jesus paid the full price for everyone's sins today when he was crucified. So yup, there you go, everything forgiven and entry to heaven secured on this simple account of God paying the price for us. That's GOoD!
Yup, and my Good Friday was spent mostly in FX's house and Emmanuel. Fast forward the fact that I woke up late, i quickly (as quick as i wanted to at least) rushed off to FX's house although i was late. But partially, i blame my forgetfulness cuz i went out of the house 3 times before i remembered to bring everything i was supposed to bring. Haihs.. Oh well, 12 came after a while, and 155 was perfectly on time! So no waiting for the transfer too!
Then FX must have been quite scared why nobody there yet so she msg-ed me, and James also, but the super-quick me was already on Telok Kurau road and arrived within minutes. Sat around and waited for BS, ordered pizza. Played Scrabble while waiting. James had no vowels, i had no consonants. FX had nice letters (or words as she claims it) all the way! So unfair...And the game actually looked quite pro cuz we could build quite a few words side by side. Haha, it "looked" pro cuz all the words are like primary school words lar... haha.. so much for the intellectual cell.
BS arrived and then we ate pizza and Gabriel arrived too. All the rest weren't gonna come except our special guest Winnie! We decided on a movie to watch, or rather, since we were all so undecisive, BS jz picked one. The worst one i think. Windstruck. If anyone EVER watched this before, give me a shout or a comment ya? Pls, i wanna know why u watched it in the first place.
Ok ok, the story wasn't that bad, except the ending felt like it went on longer than a zombie's lifetime. Why? Cuz we all knew the guy was gonna die, and when he did, we could also predict how he was gonna die. Oh, that just proves that only the beginning was nice. So, back to the horrible ending. Let's put it this way, the show was supposed to be emo and we should all be feeling bad for the girl who lost her bf, but then, THE WHOLE CELL WAS WAITING AND LONGING FOR HER TO JUST DIE!!! Stupidly frustrating. And the girl in the movie is such a loser lar.. she jump off a 30 storey building also cannot die... -.-''
Yeah, once we were done with our frustration and fed-up with Knocking on heaven's door being mutilated by Korean singers, we played BRIDGE!! Yay, the main highlight of the outing! Too bad we could only play two rounds before FX had to go and change. Which btw took forever. Girls really need to exlain why it takes so long to get changed. Really. I mean, like, seriously, really really.
Then we walked to church, oh wait, to the St Pat's bus stop, jz that it felt like church cuz it was so far. And paying 65c per ride sucks. but at least it was a ride to church! Along the way, things i found out
-Winnie has ONE bag (=
-FX needs other ppls bags
-Birds congregate and have a common toilet, evident from their deposits that concentrate at certain areas.
-Singapore is hot (duh...)
Then we were actually on time for service and it was quite funny how Matthew was in a cab right beside us. Haha. Service was good, although it felt a little rushed, but other hightlight was Su-E came. So had time to catch up with her a bit and all. And oh oh, Su-E, if you ever read this, gimme a tag cuz i met ur RGS friends at FIREfly assesment round 2. Charmaine and Debbie. Oh and Hi to people from the Superhero Group if any of you are reading this! HI (=
After service, we parted our own ways. FX, MY and BS went to FX's to.. er.. i dunno. Gabriel went to meet up with his KC friends. I mean JC. lol. what a typo. I headed down to parkway for dinner with Su-E and we caught up on the past 3 months. Found out that Tao Nan doesn't have the brightest kids in Sg, contrary to popular belief. Believe me, there are BIG exceptions!
After that, i think Su-E had some other appointment so i headed back to Sennett and slept. End of a good friday (=
Saturday
Busy day, thank God had no tuition today or I would have died. Woke up, didn't eat lunch, went for music prac, which started disappointingly late. Already this week had to evac hall 3B by 3, we still started 30 minutes late. That's like, 1800 seconds late. And if one second had two crotchets, that 3600 notes wasted. U get the picture...
We did everything except the new song, which i thought was a huge mistake, cuz we spent quite a lot of time trying to polish up simple things, when in the end, we actually did the new song. But i liked the new song, it's meaningful and slightly different from how all the other songs we sing sound. If you're wondering, we did Evermore (PS), Can't Live A Day (YouthAlive), Jesus I Surrender (JD), Worship You.. (PS)
Lets fast forward to after prac, went to the youth room and finished up as much a si could, my Think Big presentation for FIREfly. Then went to beer garden at ard 4 plus for a weird lunch then back to youth room. Helped out with the "Attack of the Aprons". Sounds so weird ryte. HAHA, well, that's YA for you! Then went for musicians and preservice prayer.
Soon it was service. It didn't start out too well as Evermore was a little too upbeat and I couldn't catch the timings for Can't Live A Day. And try jz saying these lyrics, they qualify to be rap lines. Really
"God you are my God, You are my all, And everything I give to You oh Lord"
which is like sung in one breath, and it goes up all the way. Not easy for me to sing. But who ever said i could sing anyway. Haha. Then after that was continuation of Tenets of Faith which was delayed by an extra long annoucement time. Cell's moving to weekdays now!
After that, it was off to beer for dinner. And sorry to XiuYu for always running off whenever i meet u. Haha. I guess u didn't go for SYF? Catch up with ya again ya! Then had Emil (or Edmil) im not sure, from Sweden, who's like, Sarah's bf eating with us. Quite cool. He can use chopsticks. Yay, but was slower than FX at eating lar, so that's not too fast. Hehe! But then again, it was $4 of char kway teow he was eating, so i guess its balanced. Then headed home and slept. Yay. Sleeping rocks! *winks to shuming!*
Ressurection Sunday
I think Ressurection Sunday has more meaning than Easter sunday, cuz i dunno what Easter means. Oh, yeah, Yumei, Here's my Easter Post! Hope u reach until here to find it! So what is Easter really all abt, well, it's like, the most important part of Christianity.
Basically, u now know how good it was of God to pay the price for us on Good Friday right. But it would be no use if God paid the price and died. Christians would be serving a dead God, and that's like so pointless. So here's the most significant day, when Jesus was ressurected from the dead, proving that when we believe in God, we also can have victory over death. Not that death (the worst disease in the world, with a 100% uncureable record) will not come to Christians, but the curse that comes along with death, which is eternal seperation from God has been broken!
So basically, resurrection sunday is really an awesome time when we can remember that we are really saved and serving a living God who has conquered death so that we don't need to fear what happens to us after we die. And no, i don't believe in re-incarnation or transmigration of souls. There's only one chance to get to heaven. That chance is now.
So sunday started off really nice, with the whole place decked with nice palms and orchids. Surprise of the day, Su-E came in a dress! Haha, how often do you see one of those! Another surprise, there were 3 worship leaders! One from Chinese Service, one from Main, and our very own lovely Rachael!!! *cheerss!!!* There were even kids too and we did Jesus You're My Superhero in the main service!! So cool and funny!
Sermon was also really funny with the translation having "extra ingredients" compared to the english version. Haha. Really funny. Then went off to lunch, and then to church to help ShuJing
Stayed there for almost the whole afternoon and the whole evening. Jayne, MY, ShuJing, Meredith and I came up with the wonderful CFC board for the prayer room. Hall 3A in Emmanuel will now be open from Thursday onwards at night for anyone to come and pray! Cool huh! Think i will make it a point to drop by before i head home.Of course, i wanna see the lovely (though grossly oversized) board we made. Haha, looks so CFC-ish! And sorry to those of u who think i used un-glam photos of you as the background. Ultimate photo goes to Meredith. Haha!
Then went home and realised the internet at Sennett has broken down... So sad... That's why no updates for so long. I sms-ed ps Mark and he said i could go back to church. So nice of him. Love u lots Ps Mark!!! And he is going with the whole Karen team he next day to Thailand. Still let me come and use the wireless in church. So i stayed in church and finished up my Think Big and chatted a bit too.
Ate this fruit which is supposedly planted in Sg. That's right, PLANTED in SG! So rare right!! But not for long cuz e government is gonna close the plantation down. WHat fruit, u might ask? Well, i dunno, its nothing i've ever seen before. It's like an oversized banana, with rockmelon shape and a juicy taste. Yeah.. it's... yellowish?
Oh, i even got a ride back! Yay, did my laundry, ironed and everything and slept big day on Monday
Monday

Classified till 20th April.

# Unfailing Love
Saturday
It was a busy day for me. At least I enjoyed what I did. Although a certain hollowness was still apparent. But i still loved the way it played out. Smiles.
Started of with chem tuition which was ok until a certain ACJC Prelim question had to leave me looking like a noob. What on earth is a relative concentration cell. ACJC ppl already so rich wanna use all this kind of weird weird cells meh... Anyway, at least i still can remember my chem quite well. Txs God!
Then I MRTed back to Bedok, had Macs for lunch, which was my last significant meal of the day and then bought my stamps, envelopes and some chocolates. Hehe. Then headed home. Bumped into Ying Xiu outside TJ too (=
Took a quick shower and was abt to leave when i checked my phone and i forgot to email Ms N some stuff. So sorry Rachael. That's why i was late for abt 15 mins for music prac. Oh, ryte. Then it was music prac. YAYNESSES!! I was finally able to play bass for YA!
The music prac was really nice, cuz the music sort of came together, it was not too clashy or anything, jz that the style wasn't ryte. And we took like close to two hours on Jesus I Surrender. Come to think of it,i also dunno why. Haha! But the practise was nice. Yay.
Then soon it was time for YM so we had to leave and went to 2-02 to continue our little discussions on the technicalities like who plays what at when and how. Shall make this very quick since Windows crashed on me jz now.
Pre-service prayer was great with Melvin sharing on what do we really want to pray for. Service was also good with One Way being the praise song. Sorry i didn't get the bridge rhythm ryte. Txs to Alvin for showing me the power chords fingering when i turned back although he was like halfway doing a solo.
Then Ps Mark taught us the Tenets of Faith of the Assemblies of God Churches. Funny joke-dogs won't be in heaven. Really?? Read Revelation 22v15. Haha.
Then had news that BS was in NUH. Rushed down with EIGHT Kit Kat Chunky White for him and talked a while before cabbing back home. Walked a lot. Siglap Center to Sennett.
Palm Sunday
Day started off early as i was the runner boy for the SPKC to give them the mikes and the signal. The announcement that was really good was the Royal Rangers one where Isaac was dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow and stole quite a few stuff before making off with the Royal Rangers flag was so funny and nicely done!
Ps Jonathan's msg was really GOOD!! Abt the crowds who shouted "Hossana in the highest. Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the LORD" and by the end of the week, it became CRUCIFY HIM!
Search our hearts. Are we really like that when God "fails" us? We praise Him when things are good, but when things are bad, we "crucify him" in our hearts.
"If Jesus is not Lord of all, He's not Lord at all"
And txs to Sarah too. And hope ur day turned out well Cass. BS, pray that u'll still be OCS. Tristan - keep on smiling. Zsa - dun be too hard on urself. dIA - continue shining for Him. Su-E - nice to see u on sunday. Dianthaaaaa n e rest, all the best for council!

Search our hearts. Are we really like that when God "fails" us? We praise Him when things are good, but when things are bad, we "crucify him" in our hearts.
"If Jesus is not Lord of all, He's not Lord at all"
And txs to Sarah too. And hope ur day turned out well Cass. BS, pray that u'll still be OCS. Tristan - keep on smiling. Zsa - dun be too hard on urself. dIA - continue shining for Him. Su-E - nice to see u on sunday. Dianthaaaaa n e rest, all the best for council!

# Take It All
Weekends without tuition = Kenneth is a pig. Alarm rang at 9. I got up, 4 hours later. Did my QT. Then cycled down to Beer Garden for lunch. Was just wondering if I would be there again later for dinner. Had a plate of rice with stuff. Interesting? Oh well, I did my pre-sunday grocery shopping and bought $3 of milk. 1L of chocloate milk and 1L of strawberry milk. Feels happy for myself. Except it isn't that easy to bring it back on a bicycle with a 3kg wieght on one side and I don't mean an unbalanced meal. But i was soon home. And, no idea what i did with my afternoon. Think it was laundry.
Then it was time for YA. rushed off to the engine room. Reached just as prayer was starting. Had wonderful prayer and went off to 3B. Then to SPC. Got myself a Kit Kat Milk Chunky. Bad choice. A normal one would have been better. But i bettered myself the next day. Read on.
Praise and worhsip today was phenomenal. We had praise songs after aeons and it was good. But we can always do better! FX n Gabriel were on the keys and piano. (= Too bad it didn't last the hour like i predicted it would to Winnie. Then it was offering time and then it was time for the ever-awesome-and-wonderful Ps Mark!! *standing ovation!!*
It was part 2 of FAITH, the YA_DNA. We learnt the 4 Laws of Faith. And jz to try, I'll state the 4 WITHOUT referring to my notes.
1. Have a clear cut vision.
2. Have a burning desire.
3. (I cheated on this and the next one) Pray for assurance.
4. Speak the word.
Darn... but I still did learn a lot from the session and the quotes were amazing. Txs Ps Mark for all the hard work and research! Here's jz a sample of the few.
"Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God" - Corrie Ten Boom
"I believe in Christianity as I believe in the sun, not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else" - C. S. Lewis
"Never dig up in unbelief what you have sown in faith" - Gordon Lindsay
There were many others which I did not copy down. Should have actually... Yup, then we did the chairs and all. Talked with MY and FX to Aunty Aye Lan about death and a calling in our lives. Some bytes for thought. If God has given you a calling in your life, is it possible for you to die before reaching that goal? (as in death at a young age) Then talked about the "Singapore Flood" prophecy. Yeah, quite a lot of thought. Jeremy was around too with his quite good looking NS haircut.
Headed down for Macs dinner. I had a McChicken and Fries although it wasn't my order, but no worries Glanies and Serene, txs for taking my order! Jeremy had his double Double Cheeseburger and to all my classes, I know this should have been the burger and not a BigMac, oh well... So that was dinner and I left church at around 11.30
Came back home and still went online. Yup. Didn't do much. But jz wanna say thanks to the ppl who have been tagging my blog and keeping it alive. Frankly I realise that I blog cuz I know ppl read it and not like others who blog to pour out their feelings or angst. I just wanna thank all the ppl who do read and tag my blog (=
Had to wake up early this morning. Took a morning shower and still had time for QT. Then walked off to school without my 5300. But it turned out alright. Reached the staffroom which looked deserted. Wandered about school and found some 21-ners. Found more 21-ners. Particularly a happy Zhi Yuan. *hops and prances around with a smile*
Assembly was as organised as one of my GP lessons. Had a nice time with 06 except the leg begging incident by drama-club-potential 06-xers. Then of course they had to line up and i was being a bad distraction so i decided to lay low for a while. Then after the boring instructions (which I did pay attention to), 30/06 had to go and collect their NeWater..eeww.. and half eaten McDonald's breakfast. Then met Daniel, 23rd BOD President of LEO. Or was it 24th? Jean gimme a tag if I'm wrong ya? Then slithered beside 28 and met Evelyn and Eng. Eng looked rather sad but no worries (although my inspirational speech felt like the one Jeremy Clarkson gave the road work crew in Season 9 Episode 1) Eng, don't worry about the appeal. Trust God and pray. You have many good friends rooting for you too, not to mention an exceptional GP tutor... Of course I meant Ms Norsheha lar...
Then once again realised I was being a huge distraction and noise maker so I rolled along *thinks of Cadence* and met 30/06 once again. Got the speeches done with and 7 girls decided to have a toilet break. Which took about two decades before we actually could set off. Took 197 and soon we were Taking It All!
First few blocks were smooth. OK, the FIRST block was smooth. Rotted for 90 minutes at the 3rd block waiting for the Truck. Which was more like a mini-van with a cover.. Oh well. Did a lot of waiting and sorting out of newspapers. Highlight of the day must have been visitng Eric's house for 30/06. If I remember correctly, he stays at Block 77, 20-26. And I had the fun of sticking a Stop Child Sex Tourism sticker on his back without him knowing. Gauri dun be too angry k?
Then headed off to lunch with cell, Wei Loon i think and Sara Seow. I think thats how their names are spelt. Oh, and Grace was with us too. SHOCK of the day, I found someone like me who loves chicken rice. Eats ONLY chicken rice. Man, she is the person I have to go out eating with, cuz she ONLY eats chicken rice (and not the cucumber that comes with it!!), western food and fried rice. How awesome is that?? She has NEVER eaten Ice Kacang, Cendol, and many other "Singaporean" food. Now that is something to be proud of! Of course we were making more of a commotion than anything so that was rather embarrassing. But cell is fun! Love u guys lots!
Did our sunday, post beer garden, grocery shopping. And I avenged my Kit Kat Milk Chunky mistake with, $6.20 worth of oversized Kit Kat. 5 in 1. Yay!! And to my classes, I got something for you guys too! Wait for V-Day to find out ya? But nothing big lar, I am just an RT you know... Its the thought that counts? Please?
Ok Ok, walked to 7E and MY didn;t get her super big gulp so the super had to wait. Big Gulp was gulped and soon we were in Haven once again. But before I reached there, had a nice chat with Victoria about chem. Which Aannabelle was nicely teaching her until i kay-po-ed and talked some rubbish abt KMnO4. And Co2+ when its pink or blue. And random other stuff which Victoria knew more than me so it was a sign I should be off at Haven with FX n MY. Sorry Ms Liew, my chem still needs work..
Then it was Bible Study. Which was interesting. Off tangent at more points than one but good overall. The 2 hours always seem to fly by. Then it was time to come home. Prayed a while. Slept. Missed my dinner time. Ate 6 OREOS, 4 Julie's (hehe 21's), drank my choc milk and ate instant noodles. Was blessed with two little drumlets after that. Txs Aunty Lily and God. Was quite a nice dinner. Especially the choc milk!!
Yay. Then I watched somemore Top Gear and decided to type this post out. Blog surfed a little too till the waves died. Then this post came about.
Smiles,
Kenneth Stephen W

# The Debating Saturday
Saturday
Saturday holds the top spot for best day of the week. Weekends are just so amazing. Yups. And this was going to be a busy one. Day started off earlier than a Saturday should, but oh well, tuition calls. So its off to Toa (dunno why I always spell it as Tao) Payoh for tuition. And for the first time, it was chem. Tuition. Ms Liew, are you proud of me? Haha (=
Well, since the day started earlier than it should have, I lagged behind and left the house late. And 196 decided to be as punctual as always and left the bus stop the moment I arrived. Sigh… I’m already late… Then I decide to try the MeiYian-forbid-bus-31 route. But as I was about to cross the road, 31 drove past… Sigh… again. But the great thing is, the next 31 came in like less than 10 minutes? So I was off in no time at the speed of a Bugatti Veyron (without fuel) and reached Tao.. darn.. Toa Payoh at 10.10am. Good thing Vincent decided that this Saturday was going to be a late one so like tutor like tu-tee? We were both late.
Topic was chem. energetics. Simple? Enthalpy change, you know, the atomization and millions of other definitions in the topic. But I realized I forgot to turn to PAGE 2 of the assessment objectives. Hiding behind page 1 was… Page 2… duh… but, there it was, staring and laughing at me in the face. The big G. Entropy. Gibbs free energy. The only Gibbs I know is the one JL, Dom and me enjoy splattering all over UT2004 Zoom InstaGib Gael Arena with no crosshair. Yup. Enter the dreaded Gibbs Free Energy thingy. I struggle to keep myself calm and not look like an idiot. The moment the 120 minutes were up, I ran to Winnie, ok, sms-ed her immediately, for help.
Best part, Winnie switched options. Now, I’m dead. But then, somehow from the ashes (of Winnie’s A level chem. memory) she recalls a bit more about what disorder really means and explained it quite well. Although there was beautiful noise blasting in the background. Sorry for the shoutings ya XiuYu and Winnie.
Yup. End of tuition signaled the time for lunch. Which I had in Bedok and walked to church. Church was the harbinger of great things to come. A YM debate. The topic? This House Believes that there is value in pursuing BGR in this season. Dunno what BGR is, then you shouldn’t, period. And I get to be with the wonderful Proposition. Yup, team P consisted of Dawn, Nanthaniel, Clara and Ben. And after our fruitful discussion on Friday, we were on our way to “perfecting” the scripts. Enter, Coach Annabelle. Without her, we would have got the notion wrong. Haha, big boo boo. Oh well, we were ready by 4.30 (or so the advisers claimed) and tried to calm down.
Headed into the holding area and tried to calm everyone down. Searched for last second Bible verses and had last minute prayer, then Annabelle and I tried to sneak out from the second flo0r. Which was locked. Haha. Called the office and got ourselves out of trouble and back into Hall 3B. Guest judge for today was Margaret from PCK. Cool eh? She’s a very articulate judge! Of course she wasn’t in character.
Debate proceeded rather interestingly with team P and team O starting to get personal with phrases like “my boyfriend” or “premarital sex is ok if…” Annabelle and I needed a place to hide as examples and arguments seem to come out of nowhere. Coaches go into hiding. In the open round, the floor floors team P, I tried to rescue them but alas, in the end, team O won. But it was a valiant effort and Nanthaniel won best speaker. Hilarious.
Then it was a happy time when Annabelle and I went to get some reward for our team at SPC. Got them cookies and drinks. Yay. Bought Tiger biscuits with MY’s recommendation. Then it was that time of the week again… YA Service!!! *cues the band* yeahyeah yeah!!
Yup. Today it was Gabriel as the worship leader and an almost full band. Yup. Awesome time. Then it got even better with Pastor Mark’s sharing on FAITH. Yup, really really good message. Quite extraordinary to think of who you would picture yourself as as a man of faith. And verse of the day, “without faith, it is impossible to please God.” It was like, so true, yet sad, cuz most of the time, I pray not really having the faith it would be possible. Overall, it was a good service, rather emotional ending, but emotional in a good and challenging way.
Realised that XiuYu has the same notebook as me. Except she has VJCSB on the cover. ShuJing had a cute coffee pillow. Winnie has great memory in chem. MY starting work soon. All the guys were at army. But all in all, yet another awesome YA Service. And best thing, Ps Mark will be back next week with part 2 of Faith!! Yeah!! Late night, came home, slept. After chatting and surfing blogs.

# Sunday (= + 0.5 MOnday
Its Sunday. Its the best day of the week. Apart from the fact that work will come, Sunday means I get to relax, go to church, meet cell mates (sounds like prison, haha), and basically have a great time! Yup! This Sunday was nice too as I got to go to church with Ms Jayne, who's now tutoring at Ngee Ann Primary. I think. Jean, bet u want the job too eh? Yup. Reached a little late cuz pre-service prayer was on already on the way by Shaun. Slipped in beside FX. MeiYian slipped beside me. Then I slipped beside James. N FX slipped over to MY. So finally it was (from left) MY, FX, ME, James, Gabriel.
Yup, and the praise and worship was good! Awesome even! Yay! Hope You liked it God! And then it was handing out certs ceremony for the water baptism people. Quite funny hearing some of the names but it was mostly youth with some adults. Then came the next part of the service, the sermon...... it was by none other than..... *drumrolls* PS MARK!!! Yay!! I initated a standing ovation which I think Michelle didn't agree with, but oh well, it went anyway. Yup, the title of this weeks sermon was Dig Deep, Build High.
Emmanuel wants to grow by 20% this year. Thats 200 more souls saved. For YA, thats a meagre 8 person increase. Yup. So I think its so achievable. But its gonna take some deep digging! Yup, it was a great sermon abt how we need to love the Word of God, which is actually Jesus Himself. Cool eh? It says so in Revelation 19v13. Ps Mark also said that the Bible is the written Word of God while Jesus is the personal Word of God. And also, those DO NOT PRACTISE the Word of God is like the foolish man who built his house upon the sand. Yup. That was the basic word for the day and we were challenged to put it into practice, which we did, but later on that.
After that, we had cell time and Grace Chan (above average, haha) joined us. She is super smart. She will have to "settle" for Oxford if Yale or Princeton doesn't want her.. Im like, pls NUS? PLS?? And for the first time, she joined us for lunch. Yay! And you're fun to have around so come join us more often k? She apparently has something for the RJ library cuz she got so excited her chair toppled into the longkang (one of the legs) and she slipped down. Hope I didn;t hurt u when i tried to catch you. We were at beer garden once again and Gabriel's $4 fried rice took half an eternity to come that even FX *gasp* had finished her food. Then we went to NTUC and Grace almost bought some choc but her dad came first. So chocs have to wait for next week I guess. But that didn't stop FX from getting her hands on some. MY too. Oh man... these eaters!! Then they got milk and we headed back to Emmanuel for Bible Study
Bible study turned out to be... lots of turnings. We had lots of discussions and we totally sidetracked from the MRT. Talked abt Sara, tongues, and the sermon for the day. And we came up with a little accountability system. Here's how the prototype works. I take Mondays and Thurdays. FangXian takes Tuesdays and Fridays and MeiYian takes Wednesdays and Saturdays. Sunday is our day of rest. We must each msg each other a Bible verse for the day to meditate on, and as a reminder to do QT. For me its 6.45am, for FX n MY, 9am. And if the msg does not come on... its accountability time. Yup. Quite exciting to see how it goes!
After Bible study, we decided to take a stroll to see my house. Stopped by to buy dynamo and some tidbits. I told u they can really eat!! Got my stuff but left my soya beans at the dynamo shop. Went to church to look for it and found it in the shop and they were still at SPC paying the stuff. Got the Dynamo and now I can say goodbye to using aunty's and welcome to sharing with me! They came up to my room. We talked a bit more and visited yours truly's blog and then MY had to leave so we all left. Took a walk till beer garden and bought my dinner. Txs for the money ya MY n FX. Here they are seen leaving my block
Then I met Ms Jayne for the second time. She was shopping with her mom. And she had this HUMONGOUS Where's Wally book which is super hard to find Wally and friends.. and dog's tail.. and a key! Then i got ride back (yay) and ate my dinner, did QT. Hee. Then slept. The end of Sunday
Monday
I woke up in time for QT. Got Mei Yian and FangXian the sms. Then headed off to school. Thank God for the great research I found. And had a good class. Except I overran time again. But all in all good. Getting to know more people. I now know Shaun, Yi Ning, Eve, Kathleen, Shermin Teck Ian, He Jun by face. Hehe, not bad ryte.
PW was also ok. Except i think Zsa^2 is overworked. Kudos to my GP rep (Zsa^2) for not reading the compre at all but still pulling the skit team together. Dun stress so much k. Aand the exhibit group seems to be doing fine. Skit... skit.. how... so little time left. Jz make sure u guys make a scene ok? And a good one at that too!
Had an interesting talk w Mrs Noordin. If you want to save endangered species, EAT THEM. Then when there's demand, there will be supply. Interesting? Then went off to scroom. Realised we need to give all PCs a gun to silence people during meetings. Sorry I didn't get u one ah xiu. Yup, sounded like council room. Saw three bimbo's in action and hope Temasek Idol will be a blast. Jia You ppl! Find more pics too k? Hehe.
This is Kenneth, coming to you sometime soon. Off to 06's blog for now
