SIMON EPHRAIM TAN YONG SHENG

wat a mouth full! but it was really exciting today. although this decision was rather last minute, i still thank God for it! at least i knew i'm ready!

so i played for adults service today. oh man the atmosphere is really really different from the youth. very scary, very solemn. but the ppl are still praising and worshipping the king. yup. cool man. i bet the service was an eye opener to them. new stuff, youth incorporated. IT FEELS GREAT TO BE YOUNG!

ok so i admit i was dozing off in sermon. not because pastor ben is boring. i love his sermons, full of conviction and meaning. i fall asleep because i always do, when i'm on duty. sure fall asleep. oh man now coffee doesnt work!

openhouse was sian but quite cool because i played a prominent role in doing the sound! :D and i'm so happy to see our batch putting up a good show! tkd rocks! and kicks! but i ended up sleeping during the long long break hehe

we wanted to watch stay alive, on a friday night. but we realised that we should have bought tickets way earlier because the tickets were sold out when we were there like 1/2hour before. so we ended up playing some xbox and lan of 5 comps in e2max. reasonable price i must say.

ytd's service was great! everyone improved after last week's evaluation! i must say the crowd was very excited and God visited and gave us surprises again! hehe. after service we went to esplanade. luckily i went with them, or i would have missed this super cool and zai jazz band! oh man they're sooo damn pro! jazz is sooo hard to play and they can do it well! whooh inspiration inspiration! hehe

well that's it! holidays are coming, and i need to study hard. got a freaking SEEEC (see ethan chong) for my overall. i cant complain much because i was sooo close to retaining but God's grace saw me through! and to all those that didnt do too well: dont worry too much, there's still As, the final mark. just work harder next year! we can do it!

yup ok bye!

fun fun fun!

2 more days

2 more days to the start of promos. i'm not that worried, i'm looking forward to it, and get this whole thing over and done with.

here's my revision plan:

sunday night: i shall finish up bio and vectors by tonight.
monday: study econs, memorise everything, draw graphs, read tutorials, and look thru GP
tuesday night: start memorising periodicity and atomic structure
wednesday: doing revision papers and look through tutorials. memorise organic chem equations, revise periodicity and atomic structure
thursday afternn to night: practise maths
friday: maths and bio

the rest of the week, havent planned out yet. hopefully i can stick to schedule. at this rate, i can complete 2 rounds of revision and 1 round of looking through tuts/papers.

WHO'S THE MUGGER NOW??? MUAHAHA

2 more weeks, i wont be here.

whooh!

ok man! i realised that i can finish my revision after all! there's still time. and after wat mr ngoh told us, i'm so much more encouraged not to give up bio. and speaking of him, he played bball wif us. he, me and robert one team, and reiz and pubes. obvious reiz owned, but mr ngoh's pro i think he lost touch.

anyway i'm slacking now, listening to recordings from anniversary. sounds good i must say, got the live feel. not planning to do anything now, damn tired. tmr shall chiong

bye!

dead

8 more days to promos, and guess what? i'm not even half way revision!

and i dont think i'll touch the tutorials, which is rather risky, except for bio. i mean, they never come out with anything that we're familiar with.

here's my progress:
ECONS:
only 2/9 chapters done.

CHEM:
organic chem done, just need to memorise (leave to day before). stoichio's dead as usual. left chem bonding, periodicity, atomic structure, and gas laws (i'll probably skip it's easy)

BIO:
HAHA! BIO! sean calculated 479 pages of bio! can u believe it?
bio molecules, done, maybe except proteins, not very clear. enzymes done. mitosis, cancer done. transcription and translation done. virus and bacteria done. left with cell membrane, DNA, genome, and genetic variaton. HC sux! HC BIO SUX! so much of extra stuff that wouldnt be tested in As! after all, it's the As that matter! but get past promos first...

MATHS:
oh maths is just tonnes of practice. i'm dead for vectors and integration. sequences i'm still half clear about it. differentiation is not bad. MI rox! graphs, functions, inequalities should be easy. PnC i always get it wrong so it's ok lol.

so i figure out i would be able to promote. i expect, or rather, i'm aiming for a
C for econs, D for chem, E for bio, and C for maths.

i need a miracle! argh!

aftermath of anniversary

whoah! i slept the whole night so i didnt blog! ok here's what my thoughts are after hope's 15 anniversary, a super mega event at expo. u know it's a super large production. so many ppl are involved, so many props, so many MM, so many activities!

the feeling is great, knowing that you're called to play for this mega 3000ppl event at expo leh! dont play play! haha. ya the practises were tiring, time consuming, strict, fierce, but it was worth it at the end! although it wasnt 100% perfect due to technical stuff, stage fright, etc, i still think it was fun and the people still had a great time!

here's what happened the past 2 days:

15th september, 2006
I didnt go school as i was feeling sick. my flu was back, i had some kind of red eyes thing.
i reached expo at 3.30, a whooping 1 hour earlier, so i studied econs! speaking of study, 9 days to promos and i'm so dead! i need a miracle! hahaha!
and i chatted and got to know geoffrey (bassist) better. he's a really humble guy and can see how he still clings on to serving God in the ministry after sooo many years haha. and i talked to some other people i didnt talk much to before.
then whole run through ended pretty late at 11.30. fortunately, we were going to stay at Gwen's house. thank you Gwen for opening ur house up to the 3 of us! appreciate it a lot!
but we only left the place at 1am. before that, about 20+ guys were transporting the huge deco "HISTORY MAKER" to the stage. it was a beautiful sight, seeing the teamwork and effort and love in getting the job done. the pictures will show you why! can use for the next men's service! hehe. anyway, i've never felt such teamwork for God in my whole life. i just saw so many ppl like ants carrying a piece of food, and there were a few leaders who gave instructions. they weren't appointed to do so, they just did. so this made me feel this particular situation reminded me of the church. the deco is the church, and the people are supporting it. and without the people, the church would not exist. and without leaders, the people would not know what to do!
funny thing is, as they transported the thing, more people came to help, such as...ME! hehe. so yup can see this as more ppl joining the church too. HAHA.
great insight.

16th September, 2006
today was the big day. i was already feeling very nervous during the rehearsals. ok maybe not that nervous, but the smoke machine was killing me! it kept on spurting out tonnes and tonnes of carbon monoxide that smells so horrible! argh! i had carboxyhaemoglobin instead of oxyhaemoglobin! decreased oxygen in bloodstream! no wonder i felt faint! ;)
and the lights were super hot! wearing the 2 layers already made me sweat, in fact, wearing one already made me sweat. hahaha...
right on to the actual event. i saw most of the seats filled except for one column at the extreme left of the stage. other than that, i think the attendance was great! the atmosphere was there.
so we had the dance, then the music, then highest, then praise.
dance was great! jovin looks so cool with his hair! haha! i like the music and coordination and the steps! very nice.
for our music presentation, i think it was really good! from what i could hear, there were like no obvious mistakes! maybe there wasnt mistakes! hehe.
so the choir entered, and we sang highest. i think it was pretty good too. but the crowd werent spiced up yet. pastor jeff had to get them to lift up hands. :(
and now it was praise and worship. oh man, i was sooo nervous because i had to start 2 songs. and my fingers are so painful after playing time has come over and over again! hahaha. i think i screwed up some of the bending parts. crap. and the tempo was wrong because the choir and crowd were rushing the tempo and i tried to listen to the metronome. i think davin didnt hear the metronome too.
then the horror came. you are good. i think i forgot to switch off my distortion. then i combined it with acoustic channel. imagine how horrible it sounds like. i think the crowd was quite taken aback. i was shocked too. but fortunately i solved the problem after the first phrase. and to make things worse, the singers' voices became distorted and me and davin were shocked too. i think he went out of time because he was distracted by that. but the crowd still were getting excited.
fastforward until altar call. i think altar call was great! what pastor ben said was sooo true! if not for a vision and trust, i wouldnt be here at all, doing what i do. i would be some sianed out guy in my parent's church, week after week, longing to go home, not looking forward to the "God thing". and i would be playing those dumb death metal songs jamming away in clarke quay. indeed God has a plan for everyone, and that day when leon brought me, i'm sure he said, "i'm going to use Simon for a great purpose for the good of my kingdom". wow man, come to thing of it.
so i challenge every christian to have a goal or a vision for himself/herself. only with a vision we can remain here, and only with a vision we are able to stretch ourself to serve the kingdom and grow. join a ministry man! robert, ryan, LEON. join ushering or smth lah! :P it's good to serve in pastoral, but it's good to be in a ministry too!

and my vision for myself is to be an influencial musician who is able to minister and prophecy to the people, who is able to train a next generation of strong musicians, and to write beautiful and ministering PnW songs.

Amen. expo, 3000+ ppl, wow! getting there, but wat's next?

oh no

ok i just spent $75 at zara on this vest but it looks very very nice! for anniversary! i look stunning in it! HEHEh no lah. i'm sure brat pitt wore this in mr and mrs smith, but as meanie ruizhen said, "U DONT HAVE HIS BODY LAH" hahaha i wish i do...one day...one day...

PRIDE

Pride, is something that we should not be proud of. It is something that causes the downfall of many great people who should be proud of what they've done. Pride, is not being humble.

I've always thought of pride as something that has it good and bad, good being, you feel high and you feel like a king. Bad being everything else.

Why are people proud of things they've achieved? They think there's no one better? They think it's their own doings? They dont want to be humble? Well there're many lessons on pride and how it leads to the downfall of great people. One example i can think of is dear mr wise Solomon. He asked for wisdom and he got it and achieved many many great things. Truth is, he became proud, and didnt humble himself, thus his downfall in the end when he didnt turn back. The Israelites too.
2 Chronicles 7:14 "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Yes indeed that's very true.

Why do i choose to write so formally tonight? I've been thinking of pride and my past. Truth is, i used to be a proud ass when i was young, dunno if it still applies hehe.
I remembered being one of the top students in my primary school class, and i would often despise others that did rather badly. I, that time felt that everyone was stupid and what they did was dumb and that i was a higher level than all of them. Who was i to judge? Who was i to be proud? I mean the brain came from God not me!
While i still struggle with pride, I still just sometimes stop, and just surrender everything to Him. After all He gave everything.
Sometimes when you think your the best in something, in a particular area in a particular place, you cant help but feel proud, that your the BEST and everyone sucks and should "ALL HAIL" you. That feeling sucks, you know you dont want it, but it just happens. But the fact is, why not just admit your not THE BEST and just move on, make friends with others better. The chinese proverb "one mountain is higher than another" EXCEPT MT EVEREST HAHAHA!. Ok serious, see I typing capitals at every sentence. Well the feeling of just surrendering, humbling yourself, and willingness to learn from others is just great. You realise how much more you can improve if you humble yourself and stop thinking you're totally the BEST. It works, instead of trying to supress the pride, why not just confront the pride? Go out and do something that you wouldnt do, something that helps you lower your pride, and just make you humble in whatever you do. Afterall, Jesus came down to die for a bunch of sinners like ME and YOU!

Pride, a very evil thing indeed. Hope i've instilled some guilt and some insights into people! haha..

amen!

ok just had a real great day today! had a lousy mugging session but had a great night! metamorphosis concert! can see the excitement of all the new believers who have crossed over for eternity!

anyway it was awesome, the atomsphere, the spirit etc. although i was falling asleep during praying (oops, but i had headche :( ) it was still great! and thx to pastor shirley for encouraging us once again to work hard! i'm determined to study hard and get my As for A level next year! for promos, i'm aiming for a min. D, hope to get mostly Cs and Bs. i'm studying hard i'm studying hard!

and here's some encouragement to those who are feeling down, or are struggling with studies!

"till the spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest." - Isaiah 33:15

everything that u do in the name of Christ will be multiplied greatly!

i was telling robert on the bus today, that sometimes when do great things for God, serving, ministry etc. God gives us small things, and we may be sad or disappointed, but time to come, he will give us great things. so he really will multiply everything we do, even if we attempt small or great things for him! so dont worry boy ur smart and there's still time to study!

and here's a little story:
i passed chem and maths! got C and a B! it's not about the grade, but it's about how God showed his faithfulness and how i claimed his promises. i remembered, for maths test, i didnt have time to study, had anniversary and service practices, so very tired, didnt study. but thank God the paper was rather easy and i claimed a B! not just that, didnt have much time to study for chem too, didnt understand concepts, but i got a C! yay!

and i realise as i study, i understand better and remember more! u see! it's really his faithfulness as he said he will help me, he really did!

ok i dun have a word for that because i forgot it! man should use a highlighter! but enjoy the one above!

"till the spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest." - Isaiah 33:15

bye!

today was a very sian day in school, as usual all thursdays are like that. but i slept the whole GP and bio tutorials. hehe.

we didnt have PE because michael wont didnt come, but we still played bball! whooh! we played full court with an extended team, and it was damn tiring. i only scored 2 goals. i'm damn lousy but reihorng is coaching me! he's so pro!

and guess what? i'm training now! under the coaching and advice of mr mak chan keet, i'm going to attempt to build my body! hard to believe but i'm trying! need to get rid of this bag of bones and make them a bag of potatoes! hehe...and uchi is like a bag of bones too! " "

and yesterday, while going home, i did a stupid, unintentional and embarrassing thing. my bus suddenly came, then i realised and flagged it while running. i didnt noe my hand was near the metal poles, so i still ran, and BANG! my arm whacked the pole lah! damn pain! i was like "ARH! SHIT SHIT!" then i think ppl were laughing at me! so embarrassing! but fortunately managed to catch the bus hehe

and there was another embarrassing moment on the MRT last year. when i was waving goodbye to my pals, i stood at the door, peak hour mah. then i waving bye bye, then the stupid door closed on me!
it slammed right into my face and hit my specs. luckily i moved back quickly! damn pain lah! so many ppl laughing at me!

argh, embarrassing moments! hehe

the waste is cleared and flushed down the toilet bowl

YES! the storm's gone, the shit is flushed! everything is back to normal!

so sorry to those who worried but i'm recharged once again after much talking and sharing with jerel and others. thx guys really needed it!

now i'm not sooo tired, and coping well wif my studies now! mauahaha!

bye!

shit happens

there's lot of shit going on in my life now i just want to KO and just drop down dead on the floor! it's a re-enactment of what happened 3 weeks ago when i was about to KO again!

there's maths test this friday, i can say i studied for differentiation and integration but i noe i'm going to fail. 100% fail. why? because i suck i'm a dumb piece of shit everytime i study and try my best i still come back with crap! sometimes i ask myself why too! why the hell am i in HC? i want to cry and just...just...ARGH!

monday was anni prac, came home 12.30am, tues was WAM night, came home 11, studied till 12.30, today's wed, came home at 7pm, chionged EOM, prepared for music prac. tmr has music prac, will reach home 11, no time to study.
CONCLUSION: i will fail my maths no matter what!

sometimes i wonder, am i serving for God or has it gradually become a chore, a duty? something that u'll go "AIYA sian la! go la quickly come back". deep down it's still something that i do for the one who loves me. but sometimes when the going gets tough, all u can say is "WHY? wat's happening?"

besides my tired self (i slept for 5hours consectively 3 days, sleep in lectures blah blah), he had to make it worse by like giving me shit, too much testing! i cant take it!

like wat happened yesterday, on my bday. my mom called me to wish me happy bday, i cried because i miss her. GUESS WAT? at night, after a few hours, she called me all the way from china just to scold me the same shit that i have been receiving for the past few months! i mean, come on! i'm 17 i noe wat to do just trust me i'm trying very hard ok!
i apologised, but i still feel that certain things are beyond my reach, that wat makes me want to break down and cry.

i'm excited to minister to souls and gain rewards, but at the same time i just cannot be recharged and do the work of a normal student. i mean, all my other classmates have no church commitment? i still have my music theory to study for man! when i joined the ministry, i noe these thigns will come, i'm excited for these, i want them, i want to see how i can overcome them. but i dunno why some ppl think it's easy to come home at 11pm, not feeling sleepy after a shit day of school, sit down and study for 2 hours. i mean, playing music, so wat? so wat? it's not easy doing a task of that! as much as i want to study, i just cant because sometimes i just really cant do it. i noe a student is meant to study, and a musician to play, wat about a mix of both? cant do both?

and guess wat? i dun even have time for myself. i dun watch TV, i dun play computer games, i dun learn my crazy rock guitar songs, i dun even go out after church to chill. what do i do? i try to spend my time studying. u see! i TRY TO STUDY! i WANT TO STUDY! oh man i'm just going to break down one day, all this things going on...

but God works for the good of those who love Him. am i really starting to treat service as a chore? is this a period of testing, or is this a time i should take a long long break and recharge? or will i even backslide? scary man, these kind of thoughts that i have, but it's human nature after all.

and to add on to the shit, my family's not in Singapore, i'm staying with my aunt, my grandma's a real irritating old woman who keeps asking about everything and anything and IS SOOO DAMN DEAF. i mean, get a hearing aid!

i noe this post seems damn whiny, complainy, bitchy, meany, watever la. i'm just penning down my thoughts about all the shit that's going on this week, and the weeks to come, and in future. i just want to get out of it. i dun want to backslide, i dun want to retain.

oh yes i just remembered, i may want to drop a subject next year. i cant take it anymore! i noe one friend who wants to drop too. hmmm...

but anyway, on a lighter, happier note, i thank all those who remembered my bday! i'm one more year from becoming 18! thx for the celebrations, the songs, the cards, the gifts etc! i appreciate it! but for now, i have to take another 5hours to recharge my batteries again.

bye!

It's party time!

WHOOH! I'M FINALLY 17! WISH ME HAPPY BDAY QUICK!

and to Chris, sorry i forgot to include ur pubic name! i mean, i hate this kind of things, because i will sure forget someone and i remembered putting ur name but it disappeared! :O did u hide it in ur hair?

anyway, yesterday was crap! woke up ONE HOUR late! i set the alarm clock at 6.40 instead of 5.40! wah panic sia! but took a cab and reached at 7.15 just nice!
things that seem bad turn out good! siva didnt see us for ponning 15min of his BORING PW lesson! whew!

tmr's a busy day, i mean, later, lol. sooo many ppl wished me happy bday that i cant count! lemme try to remember...
ck, robert, toon, samuel, jerel, daniel, yao guo, small gwen, jiayi, jiemin, jolene, yk, yushu, yueqi, yuting, ah crap! mental block! many many la! hahaha and if u havent, FEEL GUILTY! MUAHAHAH

ok i shall go sleep now! bye!

Little did i noe...

today is the last night with my mom and my younger sis. sadly, 4mths have passed since my dad left. i remember vividly the times we had with my dad, but sadly, the times i shared wif my mom and my younger sis are more. that's make it harder to leave and say goodbye.

oh well, i may seem like a jovial person, funny, cracking jokes, but deep down i'm actually a very serious person, who puts others before him. i dont want to see my mom suffer in a foreign land, but i noe for sure that there's someone looking down on us, watching us sleep, blessing us every moment. He is God, no doubt, the creator of the heavens and the earth.

so i would like to thank these ppl in advance for their support in rough times, and as the bible says, do not worry about tmr, let tmr worry about itself. i wont worry i'm sure, because the lord is my shepherd, He leads me beside quiet waters, and His staff and rod comfort me as i walk thru the shadow of the valley of death! it's very comforting, my Father in heaven. ok havent thank yet, but i would like to thank:
my beloved YWAM CG, and jerel my shepherd
my beloved ex-HC CG, for being with me in school
my pals, leon, sam, ryan and robert in church
my good frens in class, toon, ck, ivan, reiz, robert
my sec4 frens, hongyi, yushu, tengen, lenard, wilson, yingcheng, boon, feng, chunrui etc sorry if i forget ur name it's so many!
all those who love me and want me to be strong!

well i'm sure this post is a short one, but i'll blog more i promise. bye!

Internet! wow!

wow i tell u technology is damn advanced that my parents can quarrel online via a webcam! haha it's damn funny if u think like that!

anyway school's tmr! it feels like a sunday today! but it's gonna be a busy week ahead! there's econs ILP due on monday, tues is the mock court session and my bday, and there's maths test on friday!

damn! so much to do, so little motivation!

haiz i wish i had the remote in click! hehe...but then maybe not, i'll end up dead like him and end up fat! LOL. but it's a nice show man! i cried during the 2 sad parts! hehe

bye~

Kaox! new speakers! =D

in order to celebrate the birth of a wonderful, fine, nice, caring, great, smart, cute (all the good things u name it) boy called Simon Tan, my mom bought me a nice set of creative speakers that have a subwoofer! it's sooo powerful! and iut goes for a whooping $100 only! so cheap for the quality!

anyway so many ppl have their bday's in august! and mine's significant because it's the day when japan surrendered in the pacific some 61 years ago! and korea's national day! so happening man!

and our country's national day is coming! but sadly, there's sooo much work to catch up and tests to study for! i dont think i'll enjoy it!

but oh well...bye!

Everything to be moved...

i'm going to shift to pasir panjang in just a few hours, and i'm going to miss my home in lentor. haiz...it feels damn weird for my uncle's family to 'invade' my house, intruding my privacy, littering my house wif their bags of stuff (DAMN MESSY LA!) and blah blah...

why must all this happen? take away my parents, put me with my aunt, leave me alone with my elder sis, in a foreign home...haiz sometimes i wish i know why! i dont want more pocket money, i dont want more freedom, i just want a family...

ok sorry if this post seems too emotional but for those of ya with a complete family, pls treasure them, because u never know what will happen. learn to appreciate what ur parents do for u, and control, dont always think they nag but it's good.

for the next 3 years, i wont get any nagging (maybe online la via webcam LOL) but oh well, it's time for me to be independent. going to be 17 in 10 days! *hinthintiwantabballhinthint*

ok to a lighter note, we went to seoul garden yesterday, and i went to cartel on thurs! been eating so much larh! getting so much fat on my belly! must train harder.

and ytd afternn, we were released early! at 1.30! but i was falling asleep in chem tut la :P so we played bball again! i love playing it and learning from reiz, pubes and ck! so fun la! hehehe...i'm improving my shooting also, and my lay ups, although i'm short but reiz is damn pro hahaha...anyway there's NB svc later! so excited for the extended PnW! yay to all those who crossed over to eternity! :D

ok la must finish packing. i think cant bring all my stuff la but i can come home and take them! home is lentor! lentor is home! pasir panjang is temp home, then bukit timah! bukit timah sux it's sooo damn ulu there's no mrt! :@

bye!

Yeehaw! whooh!

haha i've never blogged for so long liao! wat's going on? nothing much! just that stupid PW is sooo irritating and i've been having little sleep!

and oh! we have 4 new ppl added to our HC group! welcome!

and i realised time is running out! i have to start studying...

there will be a funny post tmr too haha watch out for it!

bye bye

Totally lousy results!

haha i got EEUU for my grades! wat crap!

had shep with jerel today! and i was like dozing off! oh man i'm soooo sorry! was really really shagged! i remember i just slept for a second and woke up! hahahaha!

and i slept in PW/econs too! wah lao i just cant control my sleeping! now coffee doesnt seem to work! :(

i saw a very funny sight too! at bugis junction, some little kids were playing in the fountain. at first the water was very little, not powerful. then this 2 little super small and cute kids like 2-3 years old were walking slowly to it, with their parents coaxing them to go nearer and play. then to their horror a super mighty jet of water sprang up from the holes up to about 6m in the air! the little children screamed and ran away! HOW CUTE! it made me laugh! i really want kids next time! hehe...

tmr's the big day! i'm soooo excited!

sunday

i came back from stayover at daniel's house at sengkang. the place is so new la all the flats and so much land! and no trees and so hot! not like ang mo kio at all!

anyway i was damn dumb. i wanted to eat cup noodles. i forgot to close the lid, so the aluminium part was exposed. i put it in the microwave then went to get some milk. then i heard a pop and i saw smth bad! THE LID WAS ON FIRE! little flame on it! wah damn funny! i quickly off it damn dumb la. luckily never spoil!

then we went to CGoverdrive 2006 to collect primary sources for our PW! yeah! damn fruitful! we collected like 50 surveys from strangers and like 3 good interviews from professionals! so cool man!

then on the way home in the mrt, damn embarrassing! i kept nodding when i slept, and my head always happen to find its way onto the man's shoulder on my left! so embarrassing la! like i nod, then my head will lean on his shoulder, then i quickly move back up, then seconds later it goes back down! so embarrassing! so i just put my hand on my chin and rest it there! i didnt dare face him so i quickly ran out once i reached the stop!

HAHA but it's real funny to see how ppl sleep! like during lectures! how their heads would move around in a circle, or keep nodding in one direction, or just lie face down on the table!
hhahaha!

tmr is monday and i hate mondays! argh!

MADNESS

exams over!

i went to fire conference 2006 at indoor stadium after collecting my guitar after lunch. went wif minops ppl. WOW man! paul baloche really really rocks la! i so want to be like him! lead pnw and play! ahahah!

anyway, the indoor stadium was really packed. reverend reinhard bonnke is a really good and inspiring speaker! he's the evangelist that lead millions to christ! power sia!

then after the whole conference, i went wif daniel leow and jovin from tertiary svc to go and camp at sweelee. there would be a sale on 1st july!

reached bras basah complex at 12am. never been that mad before! my first time queuing up for such thing overnight! soooo kiasu la. it was very long already at 12am, around 80-90 ppl! siao man!

and it was sooo hard to sleep. i din bring sleeping bag, so i just layed on the floor wif my bag as pillow. so painful la my back. stupid hard floor hard gay HOOOOO!

then at around 9am the doors opened. when it was our turn, it was like 10.30am or smth. we chionged in and i grabbed what i wanted! the boss acoustic simulator ac-3, the ibanez valbee and a gig bag.

but the dumb thing was the paying of the stuff. STUPID STUPID SLOW SLOW AUNTIES at the cashier were sooo inefficient and slow. i queued for 2hours+ to pay la! sian man. stand until my back hurts! :(

then when it was over, i was sooo tired. i took taxi home. reached about 1pm.

i love my life man! it's sooo exciting to add stuff to ur collections. God is good! He gave me wat i wanted, but not that i'm greedy or materialistic, is that i want to experiment new ways of playing!

--------------------------

next week would be a good week. exams are over. i think i can pass bio. but maths fail. chem got lil hope of passing. econs can pass. GP can pass.
i will promise to work harder!
and i'm looking forward to lesson in school again! i think it'll be fun to mix around wif my frens and classmates, eat together, study together, sleep in lecture together, talk together, lame together, lots of stuff to do! very fun!

anyway, went for my supposedly farewell CG yesterday. actually i pretty much expected a farewell "surprise" but samuel and robert told me that it was a farewell CG lol.
we played games first, 3 Up and then 3 & 7 Up lol, and then follow the leader. expectedly i was supposed to go out during follow the leader and they would prepare the surprise.

i came in, and they took out a chocolate fudge cake! but the thing was that no one had a knife so i had to bring the cake home lol!
then they presented to me an ashley PIG and a handmade cardboard flying V guitar! so touching! thanks a lot to those who did it!

ok i'm going off to study bye!

i miss camp...

i wish life would slow down and rewind, back to church camp. it's just been one day and i miss it so much. and the thought of me not starting to study for exams is scaring me. nvm still got 2 weeks...

it all happened so quickly...here's how...

precamp day-6th june:
i left the house at 7.15am and reached nexus at 8am to help move things to PGP campsite. fortunately one of my guitar and pedal case were with gwen already! so i brought my other guitar. it was pretty fun moving stuff although the amps and drums were VERY VERY VERY HEAVY. we squeezed everything into the church truck in order to help daniel leow save a trip. however there were the missing drum clamp and a keyboard stand, so they had to go back again...
so we arrived late at PGP at around 10+ and started to setup. then had lunch at the central library. the food's so cheap and nice lah! better than HC! :@
so we arrived back at around 2+ and started our concert practise. we had many sessions for the concert already and i was pretty excited...
me, walmond and lee jun then went to eat roti prata at night after everything and went home...

camp day1-7th june:
it's camp day! and i was pretty excited! arrived at the campsite around 11.50am and went to our rooms. but then there were games and we couldnt play, but we had to sell drinks instead...hahaha and the most incredible thing was riding in the truck! i tell u it was a nightmare inside the church truck, esp when daniel's driving! HAHAHA...not that his driving is bad, but it was bumpy :P
and there was pnw1 at night! the sound system screwed up quite badly and the mics werent working. but thank God the crowd were enthu and excited!
at night we went for roti prata again!

day2-8thjune:
i was sooo tired because i slept at 2am and had to wake up at 8.30...there was pnw2 and the crowd was very hyped up also! praise God!
i'm trying to recall what happened later on because we never played games... :( :( :(
then there was the spiritual gifts workshop. i have the gifts of
1)musicians/singers
2)pastor
3)encouragement/faith
whooh!
pnw3, then prata again at night i'm typing faster now lol...

day3-9th june:
the last night! which means the concert night! IGNITE! whooh! we had pnw4 the last one in the morning, then bring it on! in the afternoon, and then concert practise and then the concert!
before the doors were opened, we could hear the crazy bunch of 500+ youths outside the hall, queuing up to get the front seats haha...they were SINGING as we were practising! praise God!
but the sound system screwed up again and poor jiayi was very stressed trying to fix it!
then...the time has come...we played lots of songs from the new united we stand album! i could see that the youth werent that familiar with the songs. but they're nice!
then there was ministering time...i could see that the youths were really hot for God, and i could see the Holy Spirit moving and touching each and everyone of the youths, new or old christians. i could see ppl crying and kneeling, as hands and hearts were lifted up. the Lord then dropped a word into my heart when i was playing too. He said "do not worry about your parents going to china. it may seem a bad thing, but u cant see the situation for now. it's like a horizon, your eyes cant see beyond, but i can see and my plan is the best plan. trust in me the Lord your God always." and this touched me and i was assured of God's love for me that i cried when playing the song. it stirred up lots of emotions in the crowd as well, as the Holy Spirit descended upon his children and moved the place.
and yongsheng receieved Christ and yvonne receieved the Holy Spirit! and the others of HC were growing! the newcomers, jon, ryan, robert, fung min, yvonne and yongsheng have seriously grown a lot through this camp. God has created a new generation of J1s who are close in fellowship and hot for the word! amen! 20 HCIans! here we go! (even though i cant help much)
then after ministering time, dennis and shirley brought up sparkling wine for everyone to YUMSENG! it was to represent the kind of victory and pledge for the number of ppl each CG wants to have. but they go and shake and shoot the sparkling wine on everyone la! make the floor so sticky and dirty and we had to stay back and clean it THOROUGHLY! hahaha...
but now it was 12+ and i was zombified. i joined my new CG, ywam! and we celebrated wynnie's bday and they welcomed me and ben wai...lol i was dozing off :( too sleepy la. then when the rest went to play, i went back to my room and KOed...very tired...

last day :( :( :( -10th june
it was the last day. everyone was tired as most didnt sleep much. LOL! we had the final high praise and everyone took pics before leaving. i went home and KOed again...
then ywammers had a movie outing at PS to watch cars! it was damn cute! the idea was just brilliant! PIXAR ROCKS!
then me, walmond, ethan, ruizhen and yao guo went to harry's @ esplanade to watch paul pannochiaro (i dunno how to spell) perform his weekly dosage of jazz/funk/blues. HE'S DAMN PRO! WHOOH!
but then it was late and there were no more trains. so i took 162 bus all the way back to YCK mrt. i reached like 1am? :O then i had to walk back home and arrived back at around 1.20! i was zombified already. KOed!

ok enough typing my hands are tired. i shall start studying this week!

bye!

back

i'm back from china, well not really came back 2 days ago. got to do this fast, need to sleep soon...

came back on sunday 7pm. was at the guangzhou airport and we couldnt get into the lounge. so we went to some stupid cutthroat-dumbass-cheatmoney restaurant that cheated our money and guess what? 63RMB for 7up and a cup of tea. that's around $12? STUPID RIGHT? when we saw the price, no choice liao cause we sat down...heart pain...
and on the plane i watched pink panther and firewall. i also watched the intro of date movie again! DATE MOVIE IS DAMN FUNNY! it's sooo stupid and damn lame.

ok anyway some 10 things about china...
1)the air was bad. it made my lungs dirty and my cough grew damn bad
2)the food are damn cheap. i ate a lot and hopefully gained weight
3)it costs about $40 for a full meal for 4 of us at some posh restaurant
4)clothes are cheap i bought 2 jeans and a belt
5)i learned more cantonese so now i can converese better. CHALLENGE ME!
6)they have lots of korean dramas
7)the fashion is quite backward >.<
8)'desperate housewives' is episodes ago
9)they dont spit as much as winter
10)mcdonald's breakfast costs half the price here

well i enjoyed china and i met my father. my sis and my mom maybe going over during august or smth...

and tmr is camp! we had music prac just now for damn long but it was tiring lol...we moved everything from nexus there so tiring and heavy! wah but it was fun! FIRST TIME! :)

have nothing much to write now...but i...oops i forgot wat i wanted to write...OH! i havent started studying yet! only next week can, after camp! :)

oh i also dropped my strat from the stand on stage and there's like 3 dents and 2 paint peel offs i can see the wood! HEART PAIN HEART PAIN! it's worse than getting dumped hahaha...

sweelee sale on 1st july and i dunno if i'm going or not...hmmm...got lots of tempting items

bye!

angry, frustrated

simon has never been this angry and frustrated in his entire life these few weeks...

i dunno why but lately i've been getting very angry and frustrated over little things, and stupid things. like i totally lose control of myself and go into a rage and start, becoming mad. i need to cool down man. i think the reasons why i have become like that is due to my stupid computer which is totally busted and gone, my inability to find things before i go out, and my irritating sisters.

since the crashing of my comp, i did not feel much. just very pek chek. but wat i cant stand is not being able to access the internet. it's like being cut off from the world, from the frens, forums, news etc. damn sian la. and now my sis comp also cant work so i'm using my other sis laptop. it's soooo irritating. and also i'm angry over little things like not being able to find my stuff. i'm a grumpy old man i need to beat things up and punch stuff. haha dont think i'm crazy i just need to let loose...and also my sisters sometimes really irritate me a lot and i dunno how to control my temper and just scream. then my mom will come and scold and my sis will yell and i will yell and in the end everyone gets angry and starts shouting. so unhealthy la! haiz someone help me!

camp is drawing nearer but it seems my spiritual life is not getting much better. hope it will be different after the camp but right now i need to control my emotions and prepare for the camp. sorry to those who have been affected by my temper lol...

anyway on a lighter note, my classmates just returned from ubin camp! surprisingly it looks quite fun but too bad i had to miss it lol. and i just missed another movie outing! they went to watch xmen3 and right now i have missed MI3, da vinci, and poisedon. now have to miss xmen3! :@:@:@

but because i had to get something more impt, i had to miss xmen3. i got a VINTAGE 80s japanese flanger! wah it's damn cool it looks old and vintage but still works damn good. made in japan someone sia! can still see the laber. the owner really took great care of it hahaha...

and check out my pedal rig! it's all done now, finally...for now! haha but there's no more space for another pedal :(
















the whole damn thing costs me 2 legs, 2 hands, and a head! oh man hahaha...but it's fun la just a hobby i love doing what i like! and you should to!

tmr i'm leaving for china to visit my dad and just now i just erased a big chunk of words by accident :@. anyway quite excited because stuff are damn cheap. and oh i'm not chinese FYI because momoren think i am *coughyutingcough* hahahaha...jk no hard feelings :P

hope it wont get boring but i have to study for my blocks also. i'm rather scared about it actually lol. my maths and chem are like shit lah dunno how to help myself... :(

holidays are here! whooh!

the aftermath

*oh no i lost one chord sheet paper!* long time no blog also!

today, marked the day, wait, YESTERDAY, the saturday, of my first sports competition i took part in. HWA CHONG TAEKWONDO sent everyone down to YCK sports hall. we got overall silver in the end. HWA CHONG GOGOGO! WE ROCK!
but so sad i didnt even get thru the first round of the comp, the prelims. i trained very hard and prayed hard also, but God didnt answer my prayer but letting me get through. it could be because of a few reasons, being:
1) i dont deserve to win, maybe God doesnt want me to get thru
2) God is testing me
3) He wants me to wait before my prayer gets answered

i think the last 2 are the most logical reasonings. hehe...

anyway it was quite sian, 11am-9pm for the comp. BUT MY WHOLE class is in PULAU UBIN camp now hahaha! i get to pon! WHOOH!
but today i could sense the spirit of my tkd club. although we may be ill disciplined, rude, slack, etc and all the bad stuff, we're all very united and supportive for the competitors. but it was awesome the HC spirit. but we cant compare to VJ because they're always cheering and waving banners. they're mad! hahaha...

and i realised my STUPID EZ LINK is INVALID and spoilt i have to go sembawang or hougang to fix it! :@:@:@

anyway here are the things i'm going to do during the JUNE HOLIDAYS!!! WHOOH!
1) go China visit my dad
2) CAMP CAMP CAMP ENCOUNTER!!!
3) wfl? i think i can go for 1!
4) MUG FOR BLOCKS
5) practise guitar
6) anticipate for sweelee mid year sale (get 7string!)
7) hang out wif buds and watch movies!

so i'll be away from 31stmay to 4th june in china! i'll eat lots and live like a KING! Simon the Great! hahaha!!!

i wonder how's my classmates suffering in UBIN HAHAHA and i'm slacking right here. my mom's watching the ring! so scary dont dare watch. channel 5!

i'm so random. BUT OH YA! was so busy past few days, forgot to post about sabbaticals! rock climbing rocks, and western oils is...oily! but it rocks too! and check out my nice paintings!



i dont have my teddy bear one i dunno where it went :P

btw it was meant to be an impressionist painting but it turned out bad?




let me explain to u my painting! this is the painting of the classroom. and we all noe the classroom is not a nice place to be in, because we have to listen to boring teachers and struggle to keep awake.
but the main explanation is this. i used dull colours, brown, grey and simple monotonous colours to represent the boring and monotonous routine we go through in school everyday, every week and every year. notice the colours, they go from light to dark, left to right. this represents the class being divided by the intellectual abilities of the students, e.g. smart, average, dumb, very dumb, simon etc...and the 3 chairs in the middle represent the rankings, smart, average and dumb. the tables next to them represent the results, and the dark side is the lousier side. haha...
nice explanation right! :p






I'M SQUASHED!








and jiemin wouldnt stop laughing to herself about the old woman with the harmonica. seriously! is it that funny? hahaha! and she reminded me of my emoticons all gone, and my computer's seroiusly BUSTED FRIED DEAD MRS SAM GONE DETSROYED DOOMED and there's no way i noe of to recover it. and speaking of jiemin, she told us a question on giving $1m to a:
1) old woman playing the harmonica on the road
2) 5 year old boy who's parents died in tsunami
3) 23 year old man suffering from cancer.
the $1m would help someone, and the moral of the story was that God chooses to give things to ppl that He wants to, i.e. spiritual gifts. and i chose to give to the man. arts people would give the money to the man or child, but science ppl would take the money, invest it in a bank, get enough money, and give it to everyone! hahaha! that's dumb

this is a super long post. it's late now and i'm typing on my lap because the stupid keyboard holder went in and wont come out! it's stuck la! everything arounds me seems to be spoiling and DYING AND GETTING BUSTED AND MRS SAM!

ok bye for now!

the day has come...

the day has come...and TAYLOR HICKS WON! whooh! i'm so happy! this is the FIRST time someone we supported actually WON! haha he rocks man!

had western oils sabbaticals today. woke up at 8.30 and reached school at 9.10. but whooh can wake up later a bit! i'm lovin' it! ;)
we did a water colour painting, and i painted yushu's teddy bear! it's so cute but my technique was wrong, i used acrylic style, so didnt look nice! robert's one was nice because he's ang moh and the teacher likes him. LOL

i'm pissed

simon is very angry over the stupid computer because it doesnt agree with him!

i'm not going to blog much tonight and it's like 13min away from tmr! i'm so angry and fed up with the stupid comp. it's so bloody slow and i just reformatted it. i have to reinstall every single shit and IT'S MAKING MY BLOOD BOIL! i'm so angry right now...the comp is slow and it reminds me of a comp 10 years ago. it's like a younger-than-mrs samuel kind of computer! i want to bash it up...

GRRR...

OH! BUSTED!

I AM SO PISSED! MY STUPID COMP IS SPOILT! i'm using my sis one and it's like a tortoise! i still prefer my own comp! must reformat tmr and if everything is gone, KILL ME! luckily i have 2 hard drives and i contain most of them on the second drive! (: smart right! ahahaha

tmr is rock climbing i dunno wat's going to happen. but i hope i dont have to belay someone twice my weight *coughryancough*! but jianmin's going tmr! haha can talk to him and catch up with old times!

and i just realise i'm such a money-spending-whore. which reminds me i just placed everything in order! so happy!
















we went to KFC for dinner today. it was freaking oily makes me wanna puke! that means...MORE PIMPLES! ARGH!!! and i saw smth very funny...a family of fat people eating KFC. i guess they must have go there every weekend because they're arms and thighs can probably feed an entire army for a lifetime! LOL! oops i'm so evil! but i saw the woman, or you can call her YO MAMA, her arm was larger than my thigh! haha, oh btw "yo mama so fat that when she fell in love, she broke it!" HAHAHA damn stupid!

i also managed to catch like 10min of singapore idol. it's quite funny very dumb. haha i think it would have been fun if i joined. TOO BAD NO ONE wants to queue with me! pity pity...

enough injuries for the pass week, hope tmr rock climbing i wont split my pants or whack against the rocks! HAHAH!

bye!

somebody kill me...

i spent so much money today (wont say how much :P). my atm is like unlimited but i cant imagine that number of years i take to save up so much! *recalls all the cny where i get sooo little and the days in primary school where i save a dollar a day* that's real pathetic no wonder i'm so damn skinny! :@ wait i'm not skinny, i'm thin! skinny sounds weak, thin doesnt :P

anyway went to meet ashley for lunch before church. robert and ryan went to buy junwei a present. happy bday junwei! i ate BK wif ashley and we chatted about our schools. it's so interesting to catch up and compare our schools. LOL! then i went to bras basah complex to check out the 7string guitar. BLOODY HELL! THEY DONT HAVE! i was quite angry because there were stock a month ago! and i have to go to aljunied lah! wtf! :@
so i went to another guitar shop and LOW AND BEHOLD! i saw something damn tempting! a pedalcase going for half the price i saw on the web. i'm not professional so i just buy la heck care the brand can use can liao! WHOOH! so happy! ok here's the dumb thing about carrying a big pedalcase around town:

1. when carrying a pedalcase that's so big, ppl tend to stare at u and siam u!
2. ppl think ur carrying a bomb but they realise i'm chinese and i'm a young boy
3. no security officer approached me to say "HANDS UP! OPEN THE CASE SLOWLY!"
4. i was sweating so much when carrying the big case that ppl think that i'm nervous to detonate a BOMB
5. the MRT was SO DAMN UNUSUALLY crowded today

and so i went to church carrying the pedalcase. xiangyu, ryan, robert, tracy, fungmin all asked me the same qn: "what is that? is that a bomb ur carrying? what mrt u going to bomb?" this is so dumb!

i learnt about serving in church today. today's sermon was real great and inspiring! although pastor ben quite chim, but the sermon was great! so after church i went to city hall to purchase my other guitar stuff. SO START KILLING ME NOW: (btw skip this if ur not into guitaring haha!)

met daniel at 6.30 and bought a set of Dimarzio NEW7 pups from him! would be my pups for my next guitar! whooh! and i was so excited because i was meeting ark to get back my EQ pedal. he changed the footswitch, making is sooo much easier to press. i remembered the horrid days of gigging when i couldnt press the damn thing in time to boost my solos. anyway i went to guitar77 and bought 2 sets of curt mangan strings and a daisy chain. were they $5.50 each or $6.50 each? i dunno! i may have been cheated cos i heard him say $5.50 and he charged me $6.50! but nvm i still <3 G77! the ppl are so funny la. they were DRINKING as USUAL and uttering lame and stupid nonsense hahaha...they're cool they're cool...and i bought 2 patch cables from luther. feeling sooo broke!

i was satisfied from my shopping spree! it's so nice to shop for things u like, NOT FOR THINGS U DONT LIKE. =D

and now it's quite late but tmr's a SUNDAY! and after which is sabbaticals! so that means slacking but still have to wake up early :( and i finished my part for PW! yiwei i'm sooo efficient! ;)

and i just realised my entries are super long so bear with it! i'm leaving lots of paragraph so as to make it not look wordy!

i love saturdays! and my pedalboard is so nice now! much bigger! pix soon! bye!

i'm lame

ok i'm going to die right now someone help me. my legs are like going to break and i having a headache now! this is how my day began:

maths was real boring i didnt understand how to do a single shit lah. but i wrote the letters for ms wong, ms ho and ms tan. they left already! so sad. we had a farewell to them later on...
then we played captain's ball during PE! and guess wat? i had like 3 injuries? i was defending my team, and i tried getting a long high ball, and i jumped, and the stupid ball whacked my assets! :@ wtf i fell to the ground rolling around screaming in pain. it was DAMN embarrassing! luckily i recovered fast, and rejoined them. then i got whacked in the spine! ouch! then i fell down while protecting the ball (i was hugging it so dirty!), then i saw someone CHARGING at me i thought it was a guy, but i saw pink small shoes! it was SAMANTHA so violent. she kicked me! but she always kana whacked by the ball in the HEAD damn funny! hahha

then i played bball with chris, robert, toon and shaun choy! oh man it was damn funny! me and chris vs they 3 and they so n00b and we owned like 12-6 or smth? c'mon i scored like more than half! hahaha! scored 4 goals in a row! i'm getting more pro! must play more bball! hahaha

but then i was damn tired before tkd, and i was going to die. my legs were sooo tired! and i swear they made us do like 40 times the pattern? argh almost died la! but then quite slack later on...competition next sat and we're all dead! hahaha!

tmr will be a fun day! there's church tmr and will go shopping with robert and ryan before church. then after church i'll be getting back my pedal! and also buying 2 7string pickups for my next one...damn fun! hahaha!

bye!

ok updates:
i changed my blog title, the old one was real stupid and makes no sense. this makes more sense. :)

just reached home. played bball and ULTIMATE friscbee with our CG. yongsheng is damn pro at bball, and reihorng who crashed also damn pro! so tall it's so funny so see 2 giants snatching the ball and bending down REAL LOW hahaha. leon was like a FLY u see, flying here and there wif the ball. so funny! i totally suck at bball, because i cant control it well and i seriously cant aim! but friscbee was damn fun! but it was like 4-4 WHOLE bball court! made us run until damn tired. in the end, leon sam robert and xiangyu won. :( nvm but was damn fun!

and we played captain's ball wif my beloved class 75 for PE. i was the captain! first time man, real slack and quite fun, but damn scary standing on the chair. and siyun...haiz...hahhaha she couldnt catch properly at the start, but she scored twice? :D

and guess what? i didnt sleep in lecture! but i slept in siva's lesson because he was super SUPER boring! oh man, luckily he didnt catch me! i'm getting pro in covering my eyes when i sleep! and i slept in PW too (siva's lesson) and my grp woke me up, and i just woke up, so i was like STARING at them for waking me up!

and so sad...all our J3 teachers left...as in LEFT NEVER will see them again! :( maybe got la, but it was damn sad, could see it in their eyes. they couldnt bear to leave us la, but although they J3, but they're better than the new NIE teachers. and ms soh from yushu class is going to teach us bio, dunno about chem. i heard she's real nice but very very slow...and we have to go back for remedial bio lesson!

ok i'm going to eat dinner now! will BLOG AGAIN later! it's soooooo fun! :D
