This Week is probably one of the busiest ones of my co-curricular life. I really don't know what got me into all this mess, which is worsened by the fact that this year is a Exam Year for myself. Being someone who is taking 14 subjects, you might thnk that this is gonna be sucide. Well, I now am starting to think likewise. Tomorrow I just happen to be involved in Drama. This is actually a grudge match because I've been waiting a entire year just to exact revenge on this School, SMTI (My Dad works There Ironically). See, last year we were robbed of a victory. We happened to preform 'Puteri Gunung Ledang' but we were robbed of a win because of a biased Adjudicator. This fella (being Australian) did not understand the story. If you've watch PGL, you would know that Hang Tuah (hero) and Puteri Retno Dumillah (heroine) are of different social status (with the latter being royalty) and there should be any type of Romance between the two (and by Romance I mean touching, hugging) . Therefore he gave SMTI the win because we were 'Inoriginal and Non-Romantic'. The best part is that we didn't get a single award eventhough our Drama was miles ahead of the other schools and SMT (runners up) actually preformed CINDERELLA which is really original. This year though, I think the chances of winning have slimmed down incredibly because of a second-rate script. For drama at least, my chance is over. The day after tommorrow I'm involved in Debate and on Thursday I've got Kuiz Alam Sekitar. Aii....

Faith is interesting. So often it stands in contrast with knowledge. Faith demands that we look at all we see and then take a step beyond - a step into the unknown of doubt.
That is not to say that faith is without experience. We have faith that the world will continue in the future much as it has in the past. We have faith that gravity will continue to hold us down, that the sun will come up tomorrow, and that the laws that govern the universe will hold relatively constant, at least within our ability to measure them. We cannot know any of these things for certain - the future is truly the undiscovered country, and objective knowledge about it cannot be obtained. Yet this does not stop us from believing that a future exists, and furthermore believing it will have certain properties - namely properties that resemble our present. While we cannot objectively prove these things to be true, we believe them with a fierce passion, and we have yet to be disappointed. Our experience suggests certain things about how the world works, and causes us to believe them and trust them, even though we have no real emperical basis for doing so.
In the same way, our experience leads us to believe that certain things are true about the human condition: that service is greater than selfishness, that sacrifice is greater than greed, that love is greater than hate. Logically these things make little sense. They seem to go against everything our society teaches us. But in the hearts of those who have seen charity and experienced love, faith suggests to us that there is something more to life than the endless race to get ahead - that our lives are not measured by how much we get, but by how much we give away.
Even still, true faith cannot exist without doubt. Doubt is not the cancer of faith, it is the tester of faith. It is that moment where we examine ourselves and make the choice of whether or not to believe. Were there no doubt, faith would not be a real choice. If faith were certain, it would cease to be faith, its beauty robbed. The veracity of our faith is continually proven in our struggle with the realization that the seemingly illogical sometimes turns out to make more sense than what we have been taught.
Even though we look to the unknown future through the lens of our personal experience, it is sometimes difficult to believe what we experience - love, joy, hope - is something that will last.
But in faith, we continue to believe.

Valentine's Day is Here again. Well, being my usual loner self, Valentine's day never really got into my list of important days in my personal life. But this year, I'm feeling a little more lonely than usual. Don't know why though. Probably its the single-ness getting to me or probably I'm getting desprate for a girl already after all these years of being single and free ( Should I start my own Wawasan 2010??). I think I'm starting to feel an urge to get a girlfriend. I don't need someone to be intimate with, just a simple someone who would listen to my problems and trials and whom I could put my trust in.Someone who would be there for me when I need them. Junny always seemed to me a perfect candidate but after all, she is a year older than me and has her own Wawasan 2010 to think about. And she's obviously busy with her own life and she can't be there for me all the time. So I prefer to treat her as a friend. Probably (in Junny's words), God would drop someone out of the sky for me. Someone who is perfect for me. Well, I look forward to that day....

In my Life of always living in fear and mistrust, one valuable person that I've been able to trust completely (there's only a few of them) is my CoC friend Su Lin. I've alwas regarded Lin as the sister I never had ( the same way I regard The Ongs as the Christian family I never had ). She's always been there if I needed someone to talk to, and been a great friend and Secret-Keeper over the years. And here's a juicy fact, she's related to a certain Chong Jun Ai. But this Friday, I'm gonna lose her to Higher Education. Thats right, She's going over to Tazmania (did I get the spelling right??) to further her studies and yesterday was her last Sunday in a very long while that she was able to Worship at the Church in Seremban. So, I really had a feeling of dread and sadness going to Church today since I wouldn't be able to see her again in a while. There was a pleasant surprise at Church however when I saw Chye Ling and her family sitting in Church today. Wowzers, its been ages since I last talked to her. Anyways, service went as smoothly as usual (George looked uncannily like Uncle Kok Bin today), and classes were as crazy as usual ( we wouln't stop singing untill Uncle Kenneth pried the books from our fingers *lol* ). After class, al of the Youths (Excluding Su Lin of course) gathered around and discussed when to give the gift we got for her. So, after lunch (Today was Church Lunch fellowship), we got together and we gave a speechless Su Lin her gift and a small card with all our wishes and sang a couple of songs for her. Then, she came and gave each one of us a big hug ( I think I might've suffocated her with mine ) and said our goodbyes. Sigh, I'm gonna miss Su Lin.....

Today, I saw a ugly side of the world in a place least expected to see it. Right in school! So today, being Monday after all, ther was perhimpunan as usual. Expecting a rather usual and boring Assembly, I was considering skipping it to finish HOMEwork (poor lazy 'ol me). Anyways, back to our main topic, this Form 2 girl near me just fainted all of a sudden! Wowzers, imgaine the shock I got. An instant reaction was to go help her up. As I carried her, there was only this one girl, Qiao Bin that actually made an effort to help her up. I couldn't beleive my eyes that none of this girl's friends actually took the time to help her up! As I called some of the Prefects standing around, none of them wanted to even help her, In fact, some of them were even trying to make their way quietly out of the scene! I was furious. But that was far from the end. As I was 'papah'ing the girl along, there was a teacher whom actually asked me to stop supporting her because I was A Boy!!! I shot him a look of anger and he kinda got the point (hope I don't get in trouble for that). As everything was sorted out (calling the girls parents and all), I noticed there was a group of people even making fun of me because I went to help the girl! *Actual Transcript*
X: Why You helping The Girl? Wanna Tackle Her Ah?
Me: Never mind lah, she needs our help, so give it lah..
X: If shes a beautiful girl.. Never Mind lah.....
What type of twisted world do we live in today? Why are people so reluctant to help others? Its a quetion we have to ask ourselves. Its no laughing matter, and it may seem trivial, but Life as we know it has really changed. Especially for Christians who try to be different.
P.S: Hey Jun, I've been going over my archives lately and I've noticed that I've been really selfish by not replying some comments. So, for my one and only faithful blog reader, I've updated backdated comments! Enjoy...

I've decided to take a breather from studying this CNY, and I've ended up geting really bored because of a few contributing factors (Internet Down, Daily routines stopped dll...). So when you've got the time to spend and a bit of repressed feelings inside, it can drive you to do things that you never thought you would do. So songwriting is my thing now. So everyone, take a look at my 1st song *clap, clap, clap*
(1st Verse)
You can Dance Forever,
But Still You Won't find Love,
You can Run till Stars All Fade,
But Still You Won't find Peace,
With You I Feel,
Like This Life Just Might Never End,
But When You're Far Away,
Even the Brighest Star Fails to Shine,
(Chrous)
I've Been Waiting,
I'm Still Waiting,
For You............
But You're Always One Step Too Far,
(Second Verse)
Like The Wind That Rushes,
You Come Right To Me,
But The Same Wind That Blows Away,
Carries You Beyond My Reach,
When You Find Darkness,
At the Crossroads Of Your Life
Always Remember The Light's Behind,
I'm Waiting At your Call,
(Chrous And Fade)
Like it? I wrote it for this Girl I fell in Love with. Sounds a bit unfinished though...
