Hey good evening everyone. Yeah it’s been a long time since I last posted anything. How is everyone? I pray you are healthy and doing well. The first month of my attachment has just ended and I’ve received my pay yesterday! Praise God! Doesn’t seems much but I believe this is just only the beginning, not the end of God’s goodness in my life. This whole attachment has been quite slacking, well what to do man, I’m just doing cloning! Been reading some books on Christian living, quite interesting and benefiting I say. I had joy, I had laughter, I had sadness while reading those books. Thanks Isaac for lending it to me. Oh yeah, I’ve just finished reading about inheritance on C++, and oh man, I find that I still have many more things to learn. And I still can’t make a star or triangle figure out of a For loop! Rats! Emerge’s coming soon, can’t wait to go for another life changing conference! Well, one of the days during Emerge happened to be a special day for me. LOL. Guess it yourself. =) Yeah got to stop here, need to jump back to more C++ reading. I do not know why I am craving more of God and C++ in my life. LOL. Thanks for reading and God bless!

Good evening everyone! Well, today marks the 4th day of the 3rd week of my attachment. I do not know why, but I have a serious urge to post the blessings that God has given me. I feel it’s a sin not to give glory to God! Hey, if you are not happy with it, then TOO BAD! Firstly, I would like to thank God for giving me solutions for every problems that I faced, be it at work or during my self-study! Take for instance yesterday and today. I hit a very serious problem in C++ that if I cannot find the solution to solve it, my advancement in learning the programming language will come to a halt. But praise God! He showed me where the mistakes were and provided me the solutions! Halleluyah! Don’t tell me this is luck man, I’ll slap you! This is a miracle from God! Another problem arose during a chit-chat with my fellow colleagues at HSBC. I’ve found out a very shocking story. I am not posting what the shocking story is as it might affect some people. I just wanted to thank God for being there with me all this time. He never failed to be with me, even if the situation seems hopelessly lost and there is no solution in sight. And also I wanted to thank God for blessing me with material abundance. His ever faithfulness never fails me whenever I am in lack or in need. Halleluyah! I’ve read the first few chapters of the book of Joshua in the Old Testaments (it’s an exciting book), and I came across this verse in Joshua 1:5-9. The phrase “be strong and courageous” was repeated 3 times here, by God Himself. God is telling us here that whatever He has already promised us, we on the other hand should be strong and courageous and believes in Him. This verse strengthen my faith more is that whatever God has promised, no matter what crappy situation I might be in or whatever enemy is coming, I must be strong and courageous for God has already promised for deliverance. I must learn to welcome battle! No matter the amount of top-notch training or preparations you have, if you have no guts to welcome battle, you will lose and all those training and preparations will be a waste! Wow. God is amazing; He never fails to amaze me each passing day. I pray that when my Christian friends have read this post, their faith will be strengthen or renewed. Alright I’m going to sleep now. I thank you for reading and God bless!

Good…morning everyone! By the time I have finish typing out this post, I guess it will be morning so here I am being the first guy wishing you a good morning for May 12th!
As I stepped out of town, I checked my map. Rats, the final task for me to become a knight is sooooooooo far away! Sighing in exasperation, I drew out my sword and my shield and begin my journey for my final task. I passed many trees and mountains before I finally reach the destination for my final task. I surveyed the surroundings and observed the enemies that I was told to kill. Standing at about 2m in height, they looked like hyenas to me. Except hyenas don’t wear armor and carry big bulky swords. I spotted a lone hyena warrior patrolling a quiet area. With my sword and shield and soulshot in hand, I dashed out from where I’ve hidden and sprang onto him. The hyena warrior was shocked and couldn’t react fast enough as I descended onto his head with my sword and a loud crack together with a violent spray of red blood ensured. The other hyena warriors rushed into the area for their sense of hearing is superb. Pulling out my sword that was entrenched into the dead hyena warrior’s skull, I dashed forward sword drawn and shield up, welcoming battle.
Yeah there was an event that just happened earlier when I played this online game called Lineage 2. It’s amazing that a game can bring so much interesting stories into your head, LOL. I had quite a relaxing day today, went to my school in the early afternoon to return my laptop and paying my school fees. In case you’re wondering, I took leave man! Praise the Lord! Anyway there was some minor hiccups with my school fees payment but it was settled quickly without much hassle, praise the Lord! Had a quick drink and talked about work with Eric Cai, quite interesting stories that he told me. I went home promptly and played that game Lineage 2 which I just mentioned earlier. Learn some C++ later in the night, had quite a productive and peaceful day to sum it up. Thank God. OH YES before I end this post, here is a trailer for the new game Final Fantasy 13 that I’ve mentioned in my previous post! It’s a 1 minute and 30 second trailer, so give it some time to load before viewing. Enjoy it and thanks for reading! God bless!

Good morning people! Damn I couldn’t log into Blogger yesterday and therefore have to change the contents of my post! Yeah I’m sorry I didn’t post anything for quite some time. I was too tired after doing excises in C++. Time sure flies. Today marks the third day of the second week of my attachment at Getronics and HSBC. It’s quite interesting to see how a bank operates; the bank’s working culture and the professionalism that they display. Also, there’s interesting people in the bank, especially in a big bank. However I’ve learn an important lesson yesterday. I should not divulge much but all I can say that it’s very important how you behave and perform yourself at work. Not to mention your working attitude. Why do I say that? Well, just remember, there will always be someone watching you at work. End of story. I’ve been reading furiously about C++ this past few days and I really wanted to thank God for giving me the energy and strength to read about C++ in spite of my tiredness after a day of work. God sure really does miracles. Oh yes! Being a game fanatic, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the annual E3 event. What is it about? Well I can tell you it’s the biggest display of new game software from every company in this industry. Here, you can check out more at:
What excites me most is that one of my favorite game developers, Square Enix, announced that they are working on their latest and highly acclaimed Final Fantasy series, entitled Final Fantasy XIII! It’s not going to be just one game mind you, but a SERIES of games! Man! Praise the Lord! Also there was a special announcement this year, regarding a certain machine. The Playstation 3. OH MAN! So much good news in one day! God is good ALL THE TIME! But alas, the pricing of the console came together with the announcement and it wasn’t a nice figure. Playstation 3 will be priced at US$499 and US$699!!! Oh my God! Where am I going to find money for that?! Oh well, I’ll cast this worry aside and focus more on God for now. I’m going to work now. Thanks for reading and God bless!

Good evening people! Today marks the end of the first day of my internship! LOL. It’s kind of fun really. I had TWO lunch breaks. Its amazing. One with my boss at Getronics. Another with my colleagues at HSBC. My colleagues back at HSBC turns out to be nice and fun people to be with, even though they are like….10+ years older than me? LOL. Yeah I’ll be stationed at HSBC for the time being, cloning PCs for the bank’s employees. The HSBC that I am stationed at is opposite Fullerton Hotel, and that was the first time I even come close to that hotel! I know, I know I’m a little slow. Hey I don’t walk around often, so some places in Singapore I did not step foot at. Anyway, I would like to thank God that even though there were some hiccups on the first day of my internship, everything when well in the end. Thank you Lord for giving my energy and strength to learn a little bit of C++. Thank you Lord for everything. Yeah I’m going to sleep now. Thank you for reading and God bless!

Good evening people! It’s 10:50pm at the time I type this post. In another few hours I would be on my way for my internship at Dell! I wonder what the working environment will be like. Hmm. Anyway I went to church for service yesterday and the preacher from Australia was excellent! The topic was about passion and what he said did make sense and motivated me more! Thank you Lord for placing him there to speak to us and reignite our hearts! Seriously, passion is what you need to excel. Intelligence alone is not good man. But intelligence with passion can make you a formidable person! I remembered someone did ask me that why I am not lethargic by coming all the way from Yishun to my school, located in between Changi and Simei. Well my answer was simple. I have a passion for what I was studying. Besides, the weekly trip down to my church’s old building back at Jurong West trained me up. LOL. I can seriously tell you I am not smart. But the passion that I have to please God and to make games causes me to work hard and diligently. However I learn to have a balanced lifestyle, between work and play. A person that does not know me well might think I am a hardcore bookworm. LOL. NO MAN! In fact I am a hardcore game and anime freak! So I woke up today happily praising God and applied what the preacher said yesterday. I made a list of what I wanted to do yesterday and I accomplished all of them! Including reading God’s Word! Praise the Lord! Writing down your task is better than picturing them in your head, for writings are concrete evidence! I revised my C++ programming which I left off about 3 months back. Man I can honestly say I absorbed more than the last time I read! Thank you Lord for your anointing! Well, I have to stop here now, going back to read up the remaining chapter where I have last stop in my C++ book. Thank you for reading and God bless!
