what's the truth

what's important in life? what makes you happy? what makes you satisfied?

for me, one, it's finding truth. God, that means. finding God and knowing what's the truth behind our existence.

Two, having a family that loves me. i admit my family is not too good, but it's ok.

Three, Friends. friends who love me and appreciate me for who i am and not what i have.

Four, doing stuff that gives me satisfaction. one of which is making people happy, people laugh, and organizing outings. also, the upcoming Law Camp.

Wealth, beauty, and a great education would be great, but these do not neccessarily make a person happy. if only people who have these are happy, only 0.0000001% of humans would be happy. it also means that my mum, your mum, and most singaporeans dont deserve to be happy. after all, who looks like allan wu, fiona xie, or who is as smart as LEE Kuan Yew, or rich as Ong Beng Seng? are only these people happy?

on the contrary, the coffeeshop man and the average poly student look quite happy to me.

i realised i'm as happy as i want to be. looks, beauty, and status are really not everything.

The truth hurts

I have a confession to make.

Some of you have questioned my sanity and wondered if i really meant what i have said on this blog and on various other immensely popular (read: KT) blogs, and i am going to answer you guys now;

I WANT TO THROW A YAM PAU ONTO BERNIA'S FACE AND PRESS IT UNTIL THE YAM DRIPS OUT ONTO HER NOSTRILS. SHO CUTE!!!!

I ALSO WANT TO WIPE MY ARSE AND STUFF IT INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S MOUTH. SHO CUTE.

I hope to one day be able to take a picture of the abovenmentioned events with my new Powershot.

so there you have it. Have a good day boys and girls.

I love law camp. It is making me go mad.

final run up to Law Camp

am in the moot court now practising and waiting for the other lawflowers. just finished acting a gay scene. again. yesterday i did it in HV in public. it's damn sick!

anyhow, i am in a darn good mood. i am overjoyed. i have just gotten my digicam. the canon powershot A400. from Alan's Photos or something like that in Sim Lim, first level. original Price=$399. Sale Price=$319. but i got it at $278! it's a real good buy. i love it. but i have not thought of a name for it. maybe ericia. or veronica.

this week has been filled with law camp stuff. law camp law camp law camp. i breathe law camp. i even dream about the possible glitches. like food and all. anyway, thanks for all who came down and helped in the dry run! there are a few nice pics up at jac's blog of us at work. so, be ready guys, law camp is really approaching. to a TH near you.

reminiscence

dont know why but this memory keeps coming to me. it was last december when NUSVCF had their annual anntic camp at Cameron Highlands. it was damn fun.

i didnt make many good friends there though. i went with some good friends. there were quite a few law people there and i think they were the only people whom i knew.

the whole camp was very enjoyable. perhaps because it was a good break from the hectic first sem of school. where we had return concert, repro filming and of course, the damn exams. cameron highlands was damn peaceful. the weather was amazing. the bible studies were not bad but not as intensive as the ones i am used to. the food was good but somehow, i just didnt feel like i belong. perhaps because many of them already knew each other. i kept telling myself, maybe it's cos they ostracize law students? but now i dont think so. i think i was just not frenly enough. actually i really am quite a shy guy but people dont think so.

so anyway, i had a lot of fun still. there were many times where, after the lunch, i needed a part 2. good thing things come in pairs, so usually shawn gillian elesse vic and i would go for our second lunch. the nearby roadside coffeeshop had quite good penang laksa and maggi goreng. and it was cheap. and all the ice cream, wah shiok.

there was this day shawn l-less vic and i decided to venture a bit further so we walked a longer way out to this cluster of older buildings which looks like....sin ming that area just more ulu. there was a coffeeshop and we ate prata, nasi padang, tissue prata and some other stuff which i forgot. that was real fun. peaceful. serene. cold. good conversation. thoughts on GOD. discussions on relationships. i really liked it.

on the last day of the camp, we had a little R&R. we visited strawberry farms, had some great fresh ice cream. shiok. we visited the BOH tea factory, had some great snacks and hot tea amidst the cold weather. we droppped by a market and bought a lot of foooood. and shared with the bus. so fun. oh ya, there was this quite cute girl in the camp too. we bought ramly burger, fried stuff, and a lot of nonsense. we just ate and ate.

i remember this particular moment on that R&R day when shawn gill and i were sitting at the front of the bus when it was negotiating a very challenging bend and it looked as if we would all fall down and meet GOD(hopefully). we were talking about some stuff and at that point it just seemed so calm and relaxed and i was damn happy. i dont know why but that scene plays back in my head every now and then. during this trip i discovered that gill can eat a lot. that makes good company.

i loved the trip. i love church camps.

law camp prop building

the weekend b4 prop building was great. i spent it at YM's leaders retreat at Singapore Sports School. and i even got to play on their beautiful pitch. shiok. it's fake grass, and it is shiok. but a couple of us boys lost to old men. i think their experience gave them the edge. besides, the space was too small. i could not dribble. and my team mates were just running all over the place. young boys la, 17-20, they have a lot of energy to run.

so then there was law camp prop building. wow. very tiring. very messy, but thankfully, we got it done by wednesday. it was really a lot of work done and those who came down must be commended. it was fantastic. for those folks who didnt come down...SHAME ON YOU!

i think it was good time of working together and i especially liked going down to clementi to buy dinner on tuesday night. well too bad some orders were screwed and some didnt get their food. i apologise. however, jac chua and i still cant figure who owes us money. we are short of $12! actually it belongs to colleen (kala pencer). she paid for all the chicken rices.

i liked painting and i think we had a lot of good paintings. the paints cost a bomb.

but overall, it was great, working, planning, eating, running around, getting to know people, building, cleaning, sweeping, CLEARING PAINT STAINS. the place really looked like hell on tuesday night. it was such a mess. but we came on wednesday and really did a great job and made the area outside moot court spick and span again. thanks for coming down on wednesday guys!!!!!!

next week will be more fun. we are going to dry run the games. hohoho merry christmas we are going to dry run water tele. haha. yes it will be fun, along with all the other uni studios stations. and jungle trek. yes, i want to play swing and all that. fun fun fun.

gOD SHOWED me what to do if i wanted to hear
HIM and commune. you need to let go certain areas of your life. confess a particular sin, forgive a person, or simply give up something you know GOD's been asking you to give up. the retreat was marvellous.

richard nixon and the flying giraffe(s)

The series of impersonations has gotten Grail country in a furious chaos. People are hardly recognising each other anymore. The turmoil will not end, according to experts, unless the impersonaters are exposed. Will the real slim shady please stand up?

Shouts of 'Freedom! Burn the scams!' are heard all over the streets, particularly in the outskirts of the town 'weh ji pong'. Student organizations there have been crying to officials to quickly expose the impersonaters.

'We can't have lessons anymore', says teary eyed Rendezvous Tan, a 15 year old student at the Chiu Chiu Ni Pang Ga Mang Secondary School. 'I used to be a straight As student, but now, my future is ruined. I cant trust those who teach me anymore! Is the world really flat? Do i have to shit facing the square box or can i face the outside? It's much more difficult to read my magazines that way! I need to know the truth'.

Educators warn against the false teachings propagated in schools today. You can wipe your A$$ from the front or back, it does not matter. As long as you get it cleaned. You sure? Is there any objective truth? Such is the reign of terror in the land today.

busy like mad

hi jianhao, sorry i cant make supper this saturday cos i have a church youth ministry leaders retreat and there might be a freaky dinner. sorry, Mr. President.

the next few weeks are helluva busy. retreat, work, law camp prop building, dry run. how exciting. it's very exciting, but it's also damn tiring. law camp is coming!!! law camp! law camp!

hello all councellors reading this! law camp is coming! come! come!

been contemplating many life issues this few days. or week. perhaps. great changes going around now, one of which is definitely very exciting..heh heh. well, all i can say is, God bless, and ya...God bless.

well i am very geared up for the next few weeks where i will be meeting many of the law people again, after a long exile huh. let's all have fun, and we can have dinners after the day's activities, and this time, we won't be discussing legal issues. wow. that's great for a change.

to all my friends who i have been missing out on, i really would love to meet up and arrange for stuff with you all. but alas. i need to work la. and i think i also need to work on this 95kg frame of mine. it can really weigh me down. and i really cannot wear a lot of clothes. thats why you will keep seeing me in the same stuff. haha.

hey KIA, you guys are really terrific. i know not every one of you reads this but i know some of your girlfriends do. so perhaps you can tell it to your boyfriends. you guys are really #$&$@#$ funny. i swear nothing ever evr ever can make me laugh as hard when i am with you guys. that night at macritchie was really hilarious, thanks to lion king's #@$#$, gerald and his vivid descriptions, shawn and his shouting, and of cos me and my shouting. i had trouble sleeping cos my stomach was aching like mad.
now i know why i was slimmer in JC. every damn day in ACJC with ian gerald, and occasionally shawn, xudes and marcus made me laugh like mad(of cos i am not forgetting my mad class of aa2 and jun and the rest and my bandmates!). i think i was a madman then. laughing is damn tiring man. I LOVE SHOUTING.

LIFE AS A KID was much easier.

funny funny

rather disappointed with my results but i have gotten over it and i will just have to work harder next sem. anyhow, i did try my best in the last 8 weeks, so ya, sometimes, life is unpredictable!

these are some funny quotes and trivia i came across (whilst at work!). enjoy!

"I think it would be a good idea."- Mahatma Ghandi (1869-1948), when asked what he thought of Western civilization.

"We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out."- Decca Recording Company, rejecting the Beatles, in 1962.

The Greek word "gymnasium" means "to exercise naked". In Ancient Greece, gymnasts wore no clothes.

The most common name in the world is Mohammed.

A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (wow)

Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look alike contest.

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.

i found these on stupid websites, they are really easy to find! i am not very free by the way, just that i can afford to do this at work occasionally! bye!

Nothing's gonna change my love for camera

nothing. and i mean, nothing, is going to stop me from getting my digi cam. i will work and save the damn money for it. think it's good that my mom did not agree to lend or sponsor me for the camera. then i will learn the meaning of earning and spending what you have. ya thats a good lesson. so i will just work and save. ok la it's only $275 for a canon powershot A400 3.2mp(anyway thats damn cheap cos all other shops selling for at least $320) thats about 10 or 11 days of work. but in those 10-11 days i have to spend also. so see how. but i am bloody determined to get it.

the last time i was so determined was studying for contract i think. anyway, results out in 3 hours from now. how exciting. i dreamt that i got 6As. how i wish it would come true.

my digicam, here i come.
