wahoo! it's saturday! hmm...woke up pretty late today...11 plus( super pig right?) then umm...watched the tv for awhile followed by going to macs to study. Physics Physics Physics....i'm going bonkers. oh well...after that i rushed home to go over to xian bin's house for cell! oh yeah man!! but on the way, my new pouch,which isn't even ONE month old, gave way to the weight T.T noooo... at least it did not break of completely.
cell was WONDERFUL...at first we were waiting for nigel...and ate rootbeer float...some of us painstaikenly realised that root beer does NOT go well with mint ice cream...YUCKS and 2 completely bonkers people (namely eugene and john) went to try mint ice cream with GREEN TEA YUUUUUCK. anyway, after that we had praise! of only 1 song...then sharing and word....which was a comedy in itself...dilian asked us a few questions:what materialistic thing would you want, what career would you like, and what kind of life would you want to live. one word: HILARIOUS.especially gavin's basketball-filled dreams and nigel's golden toilet-bowl :D
well,for me it was: 1) having a good computer and electronic drum set 2) a career in the army(i mean the soldier that goes into battle, not stay in the outpost planning and commanding) and 3) i life in the u.s. living in a 3 storey house with a shooting range inside and all the beautiful lovely maaaarvoulicious guns, of all kinds :D pistols, shotguns, submachine-guns,assualt rifles....oh man....*this is earth station to clement! do you read me? i repeat...*what a dream. Ok,afetr that he asked,that if you had it all, being that doctor, having that dream house, that golden toiletbowl ( :P) would you give it up if it comes between you and god? would you be contented with a below average life even if it's for god? he then used an example,paul he was like the son of a minister, he could eat at the restaurant, that raffles one (yeah he brought it in comparison to the mordern age) where to his description:"two small bloody prawns ah, two bloody heh(prawns) can cost $120 you know?!" hahaha...he gave up that kind of life to eat your $3 ba chor mee cooked by the sweaty uncle...and he went to jail so many times because of his actions for god that he became accustomed to it...but in the end, he himself became a very well respected man.the verse used was phillipians chapter 4 verse 11-12:"I am not saying this because i am in need, for i have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. i know what it is to be in need, and i know what it is to be in plenty. I have learnt the secret of being content in every situation,whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." following that verse was, "i can do everything through him who gives me strength." -wow,how many of us can actually say that honestly? how many of us can go window shopping in simlim square, go back home,look at your 15 year old computer and say i am soooo happy with my computer! how many of us can walk in a levi's store, go back home and say i thank god sooo much for my jeans!,which is, by the way, torn and tattered. i've got to be honest, i struggle with it, i want a better computer, i want more of this, more of that.and i really thank god that through todays cell, he has really spoken to me that i should be contented with what i have, just like dilian,to learn to be contented with his discman and not want to buy that i-pod, to want,love, treasure and not complain about his discman...let's give it up for christ man! it's the first time ever that i sang give thanks with so much meaning.
Wow, with that said,after cell we went to rivervale mall to eat...i had japanese chicken and rice, whatever bento...and it was good, a very reasonable amount of chicken indeed. and then we had GAMES! badminton and basket ball wahoo!then went home and well yeah...i went to changi airport yesterday to buy 3 strawberry swissrolls...aww man, dumb right? actually, no lah,my sis went to see dan dan of, at like so late in the night...so i, being the nice wonderful brother, had to escort her there and back...oh well, it's the first time i've spoken so much mandrin in like, a few years...dan dan is from china you see :/ ok, enough said...my sis is gonna kill me if i continue(p.s. :i think i've broken my record for longest entry yeah?) oh well, good bye and god bless
