ReDeMpTi0n CoMpLeTe

yes!!!! road 2 redemption complete!!

team USA has been declining over the past yrs.. prob due 2 complacency abt their supremacy in the bball arena.. 4 the past 8 yrs they hav not been winnin any championship or gold medal durin the championship games or at the olympics in 2004.. but finally this yr.. they won the gold medal and they ar at the top of the world again in bball!!!

and ohhh... it's been a longgg time since i blogged already.. my apologies..

am quite stressed 4 the past few daes.. im so stressed.. and tired.. tt i nearly broke down.. i prayed hard 2 God and ask God tt if i can see my situation thru His eyes.. and slowly i began 2 visualize tt the probs weren't tt biggg after all.. i can actualli solve this.. but i need perhaps abit of favor 2 solve certain probs.. and in the midst of all the probs i had.. i still make a commitment 2 serve and do seek Him in watever situation tt im in..

and God is indeed gdd..

i had a strong feelin i'll b able 2 go thru all this.. this week is my final wk tt im stayin in.. after tt a new chapter of life will soon begin..

"and even when the mountains tremble.. and a thousand fall.. i will stand with u.. pick up my sword.. wipe away my blood.. and carry on.."

i spent some of my afternoon watchin my romance of three kingdoms 4 the 543463278th time but this time i've actualli learnt somethin new..

it was the episode where the greatest military strategist of all time, zhuge liang, led an army against the rebellin troops of nanman.. and each time when zhuge liang devises plans, the leader of nanman, meng huo, is bound 2 b captured.. each time he was released when he was captured and finally he was captured at the 6th time.. this time zhuge liang asked him again, "ar u convicted by ur defeat already??" he still gave a stern "NO!!" and finally after the 7th time.. he gav up and surrendered to zhuge liang.. creatin a legendary 7-times-catch-and-release (七擒七纵) story..

and upon watchin this story 4 the umpteenth time again and i began 2 wonder.. izzit me tt was too cruel to the ppl who disobey and gone astray?? i wan them 2 learn from their mistakes and yet i realized tt they would usu learn after they hav gotten somethin hard 2 swallow..

jesus says tt we mus forgiv 70x 7 times against the ppl who had sinned against us.. in the story the nanman king meng huo was so touched by the mercy and grace tt was given by zhuge liang.. and 4 a moment i tot tt zhuge liang was a pic of Jesus Christ.. whereby he actualli wanted meng huo 2 submit 2 him thru love..

perhaps i should love and understand more.. anyway it is this broken down world tt meeds love and concern and not wat they mus do 2 become whole again.. it was perhaps.. a gdd story 2 learn..

赋诗三首

今天一大早我带着平常心去教会，但我却忘了带我的psp。所以为了打发时间，我取出纸笔，在一小时内作诗三首。

归去来兮

所思凯旋归，
久盼乡之味。
尽勤以多时，
不悔劳之日。

公路

来来往往多车行，
沙石之路未曾息，
多日辛劳欲求静，
广途根本安能弃？

台上敬拜

五色灯光皆已备，
摩拳擦掌身心沸，
以侯多时未曾累，
感受圣灵多珍贵。

我观察了周围的情景而写之。原本想学著名诗人曹植七步成诗，或想在一分钟内作诗一首。但我不知不觉花了大概十五至二十分钟的时间写了一首。看来我真的需要加倍努力了。

各位读者都看得懂吗？需不需要翻译啊？这三首应该不会太难吧，因为所用的词汇都是简介的。

BOF CrAzE

i've jus finish completed this game yesterdae and i spent ard 2 wks 2 daes 2 complete it.. man usu i spend onli 2 wks at most.. it seems tt i realli take my time and play this game.. ahahah.. actualli this is the 52371th time i completed the game (actualli the no. is random.. hahah) but this time i did not realli sweat it out 2 defeat the last boss.. coz it was like.. no kick.. hahahahah

i am now playin the 4th version of this game:

y am i keep playin all these games?? reason bein is to kill time.. in camp is borin.. and at times unmotivating.. playin my psp could actualli burn time away and make weekends come faster.. lolzz.. some of my men ar also playin retro RPG games like final fantasy.. so wat's wrong wif this old game??

but i dun tink i'll b able 2 kill time like this when i ORD.. esp when there's no source of income.. in camp i'll still able 2 slack eat and slp and still get paid.. but when im on my own im not paid 4 slpin.. eatin and slackin anymore..

but it's STILL a gd thing 2 ORD..

yippeee!!! finally as from 2dae.. i can start 2 disappear from camp.. huzzah~!!!!

apologies 4 all my readers as 4 the past wk it has been a little hectic 4 me.. wif all the field camp and auditions 4 the talentime 4 nxt mth.. i couldn't realli sit down and hav a peaceful time 2 blogggg.. and also 4 the weekends.. also quite busyzz.. haha.. i nearly came home late every nite... lolzz..

this yr i actualli missed the NDP.. wat a letdown.. apparently i wanted 2 stay and watch TV and support my bro (1SIR) and our unit support coy.. who is also participatin at the NDP.. all the commands.. the drills.. rifle spinnin.. were prob the highlights of this event.. (come on civilians.. b sensible!! the shows at NDP had ever changin performances and events.. nothin remained the same unless they invite external grps 2 showcase an event tt's extraordinary.. whereas the military parade is always glorious and the pride of the NDP.. hahaha)

this mornin had a prayer meetin at sg post ctr at the heart of God church.. i was quite amazed by the structure they had 4 the church.. apparently its some what designed like old hollywood.. except the fact tt the balcony had a smaller space and it's not 4 sittin.. but the designs were actualli quite vibrant and the colors were verii gddd..

then 2dae i saw some of the members from heart of God church.. they were actualli quite young and most of them ar sec sch students.. or prob post sec sch students.. but tt's how powerful churches started out u see.. and i always wanted 2 interact more wif sec sch students.. ok let me rephrase it.. i wanted 2 interact wif sec sch students tt ar born in sg and had all the sg education in their pri sch yrs.. reason bein typical sg-reans like me will prob click along wif them well.. lolzz.. but im actualli fine wif the sec sch students in my cg.. though most of them were not pure sg breeds.. its jus my curiosity 4 deviations..

there's like quite a handful of things tt i had 2 do durin my "holidae".. but im jus glad tt this is the start!!!

tHe TiGeR StRiKeS BaCk

i woke up this mornin.. or rather afternoon.. and i dun feel like doin anythin..

reason bein im jus too tired.. 2 do anythin.. for the past 2 nites i've been hangin over until verii late.. on frin till 3am coz im k-box-ing.. and sat its FOP + supper till 1am.. despite the fact tt i was supposed 2 ask zhou cang 2 practice some bball skills and daryl's invitation 2 ice skate at leisure park kallang.. i still decide 2 stay at home and rest..

and when i rest.. i realli rest harrrddd.. i woke up abt 945am and do my routine email checks and updates from a few internet sources.. after tt i went back 2 slp again.. this time until 1pm.. wke up again and had breakfast and lunch 2gether.. (note: its NOT brunch.. but 1x breakfast meal and 1x lunch meal 2GETHER) and after tt i kept on playin on my psp..

and i was so engrossed wif the game and at tt time i noe how my bro felt.. when u ar so engrossed in the game.. u would jus leave the world behind and focus on the game on hand.. and so i did.. despite the fact tt i had other plans such as 2 go 2 the gym and practice my bball stunts by myself or even visit sim lim sq.. i jus left all these plans behind and was stucked 2 my psp all the way till 6pm.. and after dinner i carried on wif my psp regime..

and finally i had enuff of the psp and i hav 2 settle my stuff 4 bookin in tomolo mornin.. in the midst of it i actualli felt tt i hav let down myself wif on tt psp indulgence as i could make use of the time i had 2 practice bball skills.. but i felt like a chore.. 2 pst derek its like a way 2 destress.. but rite now bball is like a mode of stress 2 me.. and i felt tt this should not b the case..

and i realli had no choice but 2 seek God.. i realli wan 2 come back 2 His presence and find my ans.. and jus when i tot everythin was in despair..

UP CAME GOD.. as He breathe in life in me in the midst of my worship.. and i felt so revive and so passionate once again.. yes i can do the bball stunts.. yes bball is my passion.. and God is my passion!! amen!! stress?? wat bball stress?? i'll thrash all of 'em jus like i did b4!!

as i make plans 2 practice my bball skills.. i jus pray tt i'll make it 4 this thurs auditions.. pray tt all will go well.. and also i'll b able 2 go thru..
