Good evening guys!
Today was a tiring but good day.
I had an interesting sex talk in the main lecture theatre in school today.
The speaker was someone from the life skills department and what she said was interesting…but I wasn’t really that interested.
Oh come on, I’ve been bombarded with this kind of information since I was in Secondary 1!
Only 6 of us turned up for it…amazing.
Anyway I went for my Customer Service lesson right after that and it was a pleasant surprise to see my ex-teacher, Loretta!
There were 2 new teachers together with her and I guess she was training the new teachers on the way things work in class by sampling Miss Wong’s lesson! Lol!
Anyway Loretta and the 2 new teachers left shortly
Had a interesting lesson but the best part was, Miss Wong showed us a movie that was ‘suppose’ to let us understand a particular person’s customer service.
And you guess what movie what that?
Hotel Rwanda!
I was a little puzzled at why Miss Wong choose that particular movie to enlighten us on customer service, for I know the movie was about the genocide that happened in Rwanda back in 1994, so where does her lessons comes in?
As I watch the movie, it literally seems to pull me back into the scene in 1994.
The main protagonist was a hotel manager named Paul, and the country that he lives in happens to have a racial hatred towards a minority group, called the Tutsi who was favored by their ex-colonizers to help rule the country over the majority Hutus.
Tensions escalated and eventually genocide broke out when the President of Rwanda was assassinated by some rebels.
Refuges poured into the hotel that Paul was running and there for the UN had a sizeable amount of guards securing the place.
As I watched the movie, I literally feel the tension that anytime some crazy bugger would roll their 3 toner into the hotel and start an Unreal Tournament match.
However, I saw one of the cruelest aspects of humanity that occurred.
The Westerners decided that
It was real saddening man.
Imagine the very people that you know is going to get killed anytime soon just because of some stupid history.
And how would you feel when all those that is able to halt the genocide sits there, save their own backside and watches as the place, the very place that you grew up in, burn to the ground and the people that you know and meet everyday being humiliated and disposed of like some unwanted trash?
It was real shocking man.
Miss Wong pulled us back to the lesson, promising to show the second-half of the show as she was running out of time, telling us how Paul reacted professionally and calmly in the midst of the country’s most serious crisis, how he treated his guests with professionalism, who were the refugees regardless of whether they were the minority, the majority, the rich or the poor.
Even though she did not mention this, but I saw Paul used psychology tactics to deal with the people, the guests, the UN and the rebels, impressive. It’s like whoever he meets; he knows how to handle them.
Also, she asked this question, if
Yes, cause we are worthy to received aid.
That’s the sad part of life.
We have to be of worth in order for us to be worthy to receive aid…sigh.
If it was me, I would not even think or hesitate but offer help immediately.
Oh well, we live in an unfair world anyway.
Movie and moral issues aside, praise the Lord for His grace upon me as I took my VB test today!
Since the beginning of the new school term, I wasn’t that interested in VB and therefore…I slack a little lol.
So when Martin (my VB teacher) announced last week that we will be having a test, my heart skipped a beat.
I did not really pay much attention or really revised on VB!
I prayed and the Lord prompted me to study over the weekend on my VB, but even then I don’t have much time to revise.
Even on the eve of the test I stayed out late at a friend’s house to resurrect his PC.
So I woke up early Tuesday morning and prayed a little and right before the test, I prayed for strength to be upon me as I take the test.
Praise the Lord, not only did I completed the test quickly; my program doesn’t display any errors! Not those that can be seen easily anyway lol.
Truly God is amazing.
Only when I am weak will He be strong and exalted.
Hallelujah!
I thank you Lord for your grace. Praise be to You!
Truly it has been a good day.
Alright, I’m going to do my stuff now, till next time readers!
Thanks for reading and God bless!
Good evening everyone!
Ah, here’s another post from me!
Today, for the first time ever, I cycled to my cell group leader’s house.
And he lives in Woodlands.
MY GOD! It was physically challenging man!
Considering the fact that I hardly exercise nowadays, it was a pure test of mental and physical endurance!
However, praise God that Isaac cycled too with me.
Isaac, one of the most anointed people I ever met, cycling with me! Thank you Lord for the fellowship!
It was really tough cycling up and down the slopes amidst
My feet were quivering, almost giving way when I got off the bike and tried to stand up.
Praise God that Isaac encouraged me, and I push on.
Eventually, we reached our destination and I almost had a cramp while cycling towards it!
Cell group meeting was great today, praise and worship was good, although there were some typo errors that I made while typing the song sheets, and the message was good too.
The power of the Holy Spirit overwhelmed me during the meeting.
My strength and energy was renewed and I was super charged up!
The trip back home on bike was like a miracle.
Here I was, a few hours earlier struggling to cycle due to a long hiatus in any physical activities, a few hours later with the Holy Spirit I cycled like a mad man!
Never stopping once during the trip back home, I was amazed that I can cycle after so much energy exertion earlier on!
Praise the Lord for He never fails to amaze me.
Isaac invited me to watch my church service broadcasted over the Internet at his home and initially my flesh resisted, but I thank God that I submitted in the end and my, I had a wonderful service! And it was streaming over the net!
Imagine being there in person lol!
To sum it up, today was truly a day led by the Trinity. As I choose to surrender, the Trinity will take over and miracles will start to happen!
I thank you Lord, praise be to You!
Alright readers, that’s all for today’s post.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
Good evening everyone!
Yeah I’m falling behind on updates to my blog.
Sorry readers!
Been really busy with stuff to updates even though this is one of the most relaxing terms I ever had.
I celebrated my church’s 17th Anniversary on Sunday!
It was fantastic!!!
I woke up at…5am to queue so that I could have the ground floor seats in the Singapore Indoor Stadium for my cell group.
Thanks to Isaac for accompanying me.
And oh wow it’s amazing that 17 years has passed for my church.
It was interesting to watch the video that the church played during service on how they went from a group of 20 people to the huge congregation that we have now.
Truly God is amazing! Hope to see how the church is like another 17 years later!
I left early after the service to prepare for my Maths test on Monday.
The test was sooooo easy. Thank you Lord!
Your anointing truly is amazing!
By the way National Day just passed recently and on the eve of it I went back to school for some celebrations.
My God, what a disaster.
My class has the privilege to sit on chairs at the outdoor sports hall so I get to sit almost everything and everyone.
I thought the organizers were going to have some spectacular celebration having all 7000 students assembled at the field.
The emcees came up and were so boring and I could see that many people lose interest instantly.
What came next was even worse.
They wanted us to do some kind of workout man!
Some student leaders came running out and started to do the workout, trying to encourage the students to do it too.
NO ONE was doing it. I mean, come on you expect every people to be so ‘on’?
What about me? LOL I was sitting on the chair enjoying the view and was wondering why anyone would plan such a thing man.
After the….interesting workout came a teacher trying to lead the school into singing some National Day songs.
Again, NO ONE even bothered.
I could see the crowd getting even more restless at what was going on.
I just sighed, I woke up at 5am to reach school on time because my teacher requested it and here it was such an ‘interesting’ celebration. I know my teacher never said anything but I guess she was pretty disappointed at it too.
Thank God Li and I played Magic! Yeah it’s good for passing time and before we knew it, time for dismissal! YAYYYY! Praise the Lord!
On National Day itself, I spend a peaceful and quiet day at home, ahhhhh, how relaxing it was.
I watched earlier half of the National Day celebration on TV, the part where the soldiers do what they were supposed to do every year.
After their march, I SWITCHED channel. LOL I’m not that interested in what happens after that.
Had a super hard time sleeping last night and woke up extremely sleepy. Tried my best to keep my mind alert during Maths lesson and thank God it was just revision of an earlier chapter.
During our extremely long break, I and some of my classmates brought Magic to play! I went to Li’s house to configure a deck and went to Jason’s house to duel it out shortly.
What a blast man, playing 2 VS 2 with Jason, Li, Benson and me. Although I did not win much, hey Li, I learn something ok!
Success is learning from our mistake, and I thank God that I am improving in Magic each time I played.
Eventually, we got too engross in the game and was late for lesson! Oh my God!!!!
And I was so sleepy during practical man!
However I thank God that I managed to finish my task and even though I arrived late for lesson.
I took the bus to the interchange and went to 969 and sighed.
The queue was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long!
I just got into queue with Fadli and waited for the bus. Thank God for His mercy that I and Fadli got onto the second bus and able to have seats!
To sum it up, this few days was rather a challenged to my patience, both with people and in situations, but I want to thank the Lord sincerely that, truly, His mercy and grace and anointing was always upon me even in times when I do not realized it or in times of trouble.
Been a little….too relying on the flesh this few days, got to trust God more!
Alright, I shall end here for the day.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
Good evening everyone!
My my my!
Looking at my blog, my last post was on the 13th July!
Gosh time does fly when you’re busy.
Since I’m a little free up currently, I shall type out a post.
As of today, school has reopened 2 weeks for me.
As attachment and holidays are over, I’ve been busy since the day school reopens.
New subjects, new teachers, new classmates and new changes in the class.
Interesting.
Oh yeah the first time that I saw my new timetable, I thought my school made a mistake or something.
2 core subjects?!
What?!
Amazing, this term can be considered one of the most relaxing ones since I stepped into ITE.
One the first day when everyone came back, I noticed everyone has changed.
Everyone has matured during their time of attachment.
However, some still remain unchanged. Oh well.
The school has definitely gotten more crowded with the new batch from the most recent O Levels.
The cafes are soooooooooooooo packed it’s hard to secure a section to have lunch.
Oh yeah the cafes are also open to outsiders. That makes it even harder to get seats!
Nevertheless, I thank the Lord for bringing me back to school!
School life is much much better than working life.
It’s relaxing and more time freed up and best of all, I obtained new knowledge!
Having slacked much during attachment, it was a little difficult to adjust to the school timing.
I would like to thank the Lord for being patient with me, always forgiving whenever I made mistakes.
Mistakes like being crazily late for school and having a little slacking attitude in school.
I have faith that I will overcome them by next week.
Anyway enough of school.
My cell group just…got reshuffled.
I’ve joined this current one that I had 4 months earlier from my initial cell group.
Back then there were also a reshuffling and I was send to this current one.
It was very unbearable to part with some of my cell group members in the ‘
And now it happened again.
Sigh.
However, no matter what, I always remember this verse, Titus 1:5 in the Bible.
No matter what situation, be it good or bad, this verse will nevertheless pops up in my head initiated by the Lord.
I’ve been reshuffled into a cell group considered as young adults.
Praise God for a new season to look forward to.
I’ve grown much during these 4 months, and I look forward to what’s in store from the Lord.
Alright, I’ll stop here for this post. I got to resume my work.
Thank you for reading!
God bless!
