Too many people give up just before the tide turns.
Like a man dying of thirst in the desert, who lays
down to his final rest before seeing the oasis just
beyond the crest of a sand dune.
How sad it is, to have thrown in the towel too early.
What a waste! And to think salvation was so close!
Here's a poem about two unfortunate frogs and how a
determined will to survive saved one of them.
Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl.
One was an optimistic soul.
But the other took the gloomy view.
"We'll drown," he lamented without much ado,
and with a last despairing cry, he flung up his legs
and said "Goodbye."
Said the other frog with a steadfast grin,
"I can't get out but I won't give in,
I'll just swim around till my strength is spent,
then I'll die the more content." Bravely he swam to
work his scheme,
and his struggles began to churn the cream.
The more he swam, his legs a flutter,
the more the cream turned into butter.
On top of the butter at last he stopped,
and out of the bowl he gaily hopped.
What is the moral? It's easily found...
If you can't hop out, keep swimming around!
How easy it is to just give up, to see the world
through a doomsday screen and abandon it.
Courage and
faith are required to persevere and make the best of
every situation.
If only the other frog had known how simple it was to
get out, I'm sure he wouldn't have given up so easily.
But life is such? we never know how simple some
things really are, though they seem impossible to
achieve.
It is only our faith and optimism that helps carries
us through the most seemingly insurmountable odds.
P.S. Happy Birthday Wayne=)

Well, me and wayne bought a slipper to be hung on our phone, but it came in a key chain form instead of the normal strap. We went to sentosa ytd, supposed to sun tan but the weather wasn't great. So...err.. haha. Told wayne that i'll meet him at 0830 at funan, but i arrived at 0815. I was sitting at the taxi stand waiting, and finally gave him a ring at 0845. He was inside funan all the while.. *dOtZ* Didn't know what happened to him, but he actually cried in front of me at coffee bean. Went to harbour front after sentosa. Initially wanted to go watch "the maid", but we slept on the bus instead..First time wor! from harbour front slept all e way to tampines..HEE..walked around at century square. was tired lar, no mood to walk..He sent me back to hougang then he went home.

heh.. Leii said tt i always never update my blog. So i'm here lor.. hmmz..was pretty sad about the Superstar Results. I got this feeling that it's so unfair to all the other contestants. If i were to vote for weilian, it'll be because i admire his courage, and not because he sings well. Today is the O-level english for Johnson. Duno if others are having it today. Lord, bless everyone who's taking their oral exam today, let them demonstrate their full potential and let them have no regrets after this examination. Do miracles once again like u did in my life, thank you Jesus. Amen. Now in Jun Wei's lesson(yes, he's the ex DJ). Doing something about interviewing. I'm gonna interview Edison Chen..(someone is going to act as him) LOL..

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Everyday
after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He
would always spend all of his extra time playing with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work
to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his
little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep
him busy. So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large
map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and
then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces
in his coat pocket.
When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to
play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't play
just now, but he led the little boy into the dining room, and taking out
all the pieces of the map, he spread them on the table. He explained
that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could put it
back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both
play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's
finished. Can we play now?"
The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And
sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every
piece in its place.
The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said, "It
was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of Jesus. When I put
Jesus together the whole world fell into place."

I always believed that when someone is sincere in their actions, no matter what obstacles he has to overcome, it will eventually be overcame. It just doesn’t seem true in reality. I tried and failed, tried and failed again. Hohoho..finally ry is touched cos I had to wake up at 6 to give him a morning call. It’s nothing, only a little gesture to make your life better.
Why do people in this world have to isolate themselves when they, in actual fact, have so many people around them? I dunno whether are you gonna read my blog, but I’m telling you this:
“Hey dear, dun get dejected just because u get a D7 for your Chinese. You still have another chance of doing it better, and I make doubly sure that you’ll do it. I dunno if I’m blocked in msn by you or are u really offline. I dun mind if u dun wanna talk to me anymore, but just to let u know, you are loved. By God, by me, by everyone around you. Seriously, I dunno what’s going on in your mind. If you trust me, jus let me help you. I believe that with the work of God, I can learn together with u and u will be able to do better. Do not be intimidated. No one ostracizes you. I admit that I was a little disappointed when I couldn’t meet you after your school. Thought I could send u home from school to make you feel a bit more loved and not abandoned. Thanks for that kiss. Din know you have the power to make me run from home to somewhere else that far just after a phone call. You are great!”
Reflecting on myself, I’m also isolating myself. I wanna do that, I enjoy doing that. To attract attention maybe. Am I left out?

在一起
词：林建安
我和你擦肩第一刻 你容颜烙在我心房
看着你严肃的脸庞 悄悄离去的模样
爱神他射箭那一刻 已发生在我的身上
我们俩能不能发展 让我守在你身旁
坐在浅绿色的沙发上
（太阳不会为你而生气）
拿起电话想要跟你讲
（海水不会为你而涨）
站在前面那双眼睛盯着我
我要说 任他去看 他去讲 大声嚷嚷
也不能打碎交给你的真情感
要 呵护你 爱护你 一生一世只陪你
我都愿意
我不会骗你
（把承诺给你）

A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"
Jeremiah 33:3

Project Superstar: As usual, Wei Lian and Jason did very badly. People who know me will know that comments I give will be justified. People who don’t know me, you may enjoy the comfort of not opening your mouth unnecessarily. Jason had a very fake face throughout the whole show. Fortunately or perhaps unfortunately for him, Wei Lian made his shortcomings very obvious in this piece of music. It goes to show that he is not capable enough to sing the oldies, which are by default, a higher level. Now, what says the supporters of him? For Jason, as usual, he chose the wrong song. Expressions were fake, like some backstabbers who’ll carry a plastic face whenever they see you, and rip it off when they don’t. Movements were stony and he apparently could not carry the song well. Derrick’s position is being threatened. Both Junyang and Derrick did well for their performance. Derrick, you rOcK big time!
Plastic face masks, hypocrites, backstabbers are example of terms used to describe people who are insincere, who have a shield when they talk to you and the most commonly seen is the group of people, who are followers. They basically do not have an opinion of their own, and as long as the majority believes in something, they will gladly follow suit. It may sound crude to you guys, but as children of God, as people of the world, it is important to have our own opinion. Every single one of us is s new creation, a different individual with special traits and characteristics.
People with the right state of mind will agree almost instantly to what I have mentioned above. Unfortunately for us, there is this tiny group of people, in every corner of the world, who loves to be followers. That’s how people ended up being drug addicts, criminals and worse, thieves shouting for thieves to be caught (jei2 han3 zhua1 zei2). There is another group of people, who enjoys poking their noses into every other thing but themselves. It is very disheartening to see all these categories of people surfacing, even among your midst, especially in Singapore. You can see these people everywhere. Is it a result of stress in out society, that out people have lost the clear state of mind?
I have some things to share. I call them the “Friends’ Disease”.
THE USER -
Symptoms :
It doesnt' matter how long you've known a user, beacause they act the same way to all their friends... That is, they dont call unless they need something.
The Users usually have a chip on his or her shoulder the size of Bukit Timah Hill, and think that the whole world owes them a living, presuming that everybody shuold help them whenever they need help.
But woe to the person who thinkgs that they will behelped by the person they help out. BEcause the User is exactly that, a User. They will never give of themselves in return...
The BETRAYERS
Symptoms :
The Betrayer is the evil person who dumps out all your secrets to the whole world. You once thought that they could be trusted - they seemed to be able to keep their mout shut.
But NOoO... suddenly, everyone in class are giving you dirty looks....
One day, you overheard their conversation on how you think that the most cutest guy in class is actually a walking boom-pole, and how they hate you for it... but... the problem is you only told one person in the class about it!.....
The most common excuse for betrayers is that it was a slip of the tongue...
The BACKSTABBERS
Symptoms :
Seemingly, the sweetest (maybe until quite plastic), most charming friend you think you could have, always telling you joke and sharing everythign she has with you. Basically, everything a best friend would do. In fact, you spend more time with her then you other best friends, and slowly they lose you, or rather you lose them...
But one day, your ex-best friend (whom you lost), comes to you and tells ya that the backstabber has been going around telling tales about how you are so selfish, ignorent, crude, stupid and stubborn. But the truth is you're quite the opposite....
Problem is, by that the time you know it, it has already been too late...
The FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS
Symptoms :
When all is fine in your world, the Fair weather friend is always there to share you happiness and join in your fun. Then the sky suddenly caves in on you, your parents are fighting, your bro is sick, you flunk your test and you screwed up your wardrobe....
this is THE time you need a friend by you side (especially with the wardrobe thingie) but when you try and find the Fair Weather Friends, they are........ gone. They avoid your phonecalls, your emails, and even physical contact...
And only when your situation is normal, they return and join you again...
Their most common excuse is that "Oh I was too busy!", yea... to busy trying to find another friend to "share" their happiness....
yupz... of coz there are a few more categories... but I shan't bother writing anymore... haha... people might be offended you know.. perhaps you guys will hear people saying, “hey, dun disclose everything about me! I’ll be embarrassed.” LoLZ..
Another thing to share: “[D]on’t quarrel with fools. They will bring you down to their level, and then beat u with their [low-down] experience”(low, 2005, msn nickname)
That was from Nelson, my primary school classmate. Haha.. Guys, it’s already mid week ok? Hang on and you’ll be able to enjoy the weekend. I know we all have been busy due to some work, but do remember not to lose yourself, your personality and everything. I love you all, those who loves me big time, those who hates me to the core, those who really care about me, those who backstabs me. Enjoy your week ahead!
P.S. really miss 4E1. Are you hunky dudes and sexy babes going back to school for the national day celebration? Kimmie is singing! Eh..Support lehz..haha..
