- 15 minutes later -

I went to do some research. JerryC is Taiwanese, and a famous guitarist.

BUT!!

Guess what. I found a korean guy who did the same song, same composition, and much more effortlessly. Jaw dropping man.. But it's also arranged by JerryC, just another guitarist playing. And the download speed is much faster too. Will provide more info on him soon.



Hmm, I wonder. When ah Jerome? I await such skills from you.

*smiles*

So So Happy!!!

And so, here I am. Sorry I didn't post the last 2 days. Didn't have much to post. I know you guys must really miss me alot. Haha. I missed the blogging too. But today, you guys are in for a treat. Make sure when you read this post, you are neither hungry nor have cravings. Or else, you are going to feel really famished after this post.

Ok, so yesterday, 22nd of February, was SMX's Mom's Birthday. Ok, feeling lost? SMX, Shen Ming Xiong, aka Frieden, aka Simon, is my best friend in school. Also my badminton partner, we share a lot of fun together. And now thinking back, everytime I went out with him, I never was once disappointed. His mom is a really hospitable lady, always inviting me to her place for dinner, and always concerned about my life. His sister is studying in MDIS, Business Management Diploma.

And so let me bring you back to last night.
The night I felt so good and satisfied.

- 22nd February 2006 - (approx 6.30pm)

So I finally met SMX, his mom and sis after taking a long ride in 2 buses. It is so very difficult to get to Siglap from Hougang man. First I had to go down to Still road, then switched bus to 13, which would bring me there. There were having drinks and I thought this was where we were having dinner. But nope, we soon left this place, and took a cab down to East Coast. Man!! It's been such a long time since I last came to East Coast. I missed it so much man!!

After alighting the cab




















So, this whole stretch features so many seafood restaurants, and competition is tight because they survive mainly on regulars. And where did we have dinner, you ask? Red House Seafood Restaurant. It has been around since 1976, and it was Aunty's pick for dinner. (sorry ah SMX, I don't know how to call your mom..Lolx.)















And so we places our orders. The range was great, and I really wanted to allow them to decide what to eat. Honestly, I felt like an extra, the whole family was there, and I was there too.. And SMX said -

SMX: Peter, today you are the VIP ok?
Me: Your head la!! Your mom is the VIP la..
SMX: Eh, today my treat lor.. So can order anything you want.
Xueli: Ya ya, order more order more..
SMX: Eat All You Can!!
Me: =.=

Xueli is SMX's sister by the way. And so upon hearing that it was SMX's treat and not his mom, I picked up the menu. And guess what was in the first few items I saw?? Ee Fu Mee!!

Whoa, man. I love Ee Fu Mee, it's so delicious. And it's texture, so heavenly. And so they were also busy ordering different items off the menu. I was just impressed with how improved East Coast has become.

The ordering















The Scenery















The long stretch of other restaurants















And of course, the real VIP















Aunty!! Oh ya, isn't the scenery great? I love it man. One day, I'll bring my dear here. Whoa, it's so beautiful man. And breezy, and romantic. And the compliments just go on..

SMX: Eh Peter, we go walk walk a bit..
Me: Ok lor, wait ah.. I need to bring my cam.
SMX: =.=

Smx took a great shot of the sky behind me















And him with the restaurants behind















And then we headed back to the table. Just a little while later, the food arrived. And we were practically surviving on the Sambal Kangkong for like 15 minutes. Oh ya, and the Caramel Walnuts too (which cost $2.50 by the way, such a rip-off..)

And then after 15 minutes, our first item after the kangkong came. Oh yes, and the kangkong is the best I've had in my entire life. Ken would love to hear this aye? It's cooked till perfection, not too oily, and crunchy to the bite. And best of all, really appetizing.

Barbequed Australian Lobster















Look at that piece of dead corpse!! How did it get THAT huge?!?! I've never even seen such a huge lobster before. And I've never even eaten a whole lobster before!! Man, I just sat in stupefaction. Being so 'sua-ku', the first thing I ate from the plate was the tomato. Lolx. Considering the lobster was much more than the tomato slices, I kinda thought the tomatoes were rare-er.. Lolx. What was I thinking..

And the food just came pouring in.

Ee Fu Mee!!















And the rest of the fabulous food















Let me name all the dishes out -

1. BBQ Austalian Lobster
2. Ee Fu Mee
3. Ginger and Leek with Venison (Deer Meat)
4. Sambal Kangkong
5. Hong Kong Fried Noodles
6. Steamed Garoupa (I think..)

Oh yes, the picture doesn't show the Steamed Garoupa yet. Our table was too full to serve that. And I was having a hard time believing I was living it up. It was a evening/night to remember man. I've never had so much good food in such a long time. Amazing. I am proud to call myself a gastronomist last night. I felt on top of the world man, or rather my stomach.. Haha.

And so, it was a remarkable dinner. So much talking, so much laughter, and so much happiness. It was so nice to see Aunty feel so happy. She really must be filling as good as I am, if not better. The epitome of extravagance.

We let our stomachs' rest a bit. We chatted as the night sky fell. And it became more romantic. Whoa, really must bring my future dear here. Haha. So beautiful man.

And the highlight of the night. SMX, as you guys might already know, takes the same course as me. Diploma in Pastry and Baking, where we learn cakes, breads, desserts, petit fours etc. So.. He made his mom a Durian Cake, with much love and appreciation.

The Cake of Love















Xueli lights the candle















After singing the birthday song, we had Aunty make a wish for the coming year. The smile on her face probably gave it all away. She must have wished for her 2 children well.

And then, she cuts the cake















SMX, your cake is splendid la!! So nice can!! Durian cake rocks man. Really love it. Eh, SMX, your birthday also coming right? What you want from me?

Oh ya hor.. I just realised something. SMX, your birthday is 1 month and 1 day away from your mom's. So cool can!! 23rd March, everyone remember ah. Must give SMX something for his birthday too.

So that summed up my night. It was so good. And when I got home, my download was complete. Took 6 hours to download one game, goodness. But spent more time playing it. Haha.

I'll never forget this night. It was too good to be true. I love the company, I love the people, I love the food, and I love the smiles.

Ok, I shall put this up on the 'Incredulous Reads' section. It's too good to forget about it.

Rather Tired

What a stupid morning. You guys do know I have bad sleeping times right? And the school just had to call me up at 9am. Oh, 9am is extreme early for me. Haha. And looks like I'll most probably get the job in school. And on top of that, after finally getting to sleep, I heard drilling from the neighbors. How unlucky can one get?!?!

Man. Oh yea, I didn't blog about yesterday.. Didn't do much really, someone made my day though. In the evening, met Isaac and Claire for dinner. Again, I was late. Yes, scold me scold me.. We ate Shinlin in Cineleisure. I can't believe the XXL Chicken really made me feel full. And it was really spicy too. Oh yes, and my new favourite drink is Ice Apple Tea. It rocks la!! Why never tell me to drink before?!?!

We went to get $1 ice cream





























Haha. I've been really satisfied these 2 days. I mean, when things seem to go your way, and you're really happy about stuff. I'm loving it. I hope things stay like this forever. Lolx.

And DotA rocks too. Even though the competition is cancelled, we still have improved a lot due to training. I'm so happy with Chen, thus resulting in my new nick 'AvatarOfHextar'. So cool right!! Chen rocks man, he's a team hero, don't bother getting a zoo man. Just penitence and the guy is dead..

Ok, today is going to be a rather boring day. But I'll find stuff to do. Take care guys.

A Nice Chat

Just last night, I had one of the best chats with my sister in months. She ordered Macs delivery and I accompanied her for supper in the kitchen. Talked alot. And no kidding.

Asked her how's church at Heart of God. Her classmate brought her there. And it just happens to be the gal I currently have feelings for. Ok, talk about that later. She was touched by God once more. And I really feel my sis has matured so much.

Sarah: You know.. When you backslide, then God touches you again? You can't help but cry.. Because I sin so much.

And I was so moved when I saw her tearing. It must have been the hand of God. And when I finally had the courage to ask her why she didn't want to come back Dunamis Rock,

Sarah: Cos when you don't go for a long time, you have no courage to go back.

Man, how true. And she finally told me the real reason why she left DR. It wasn't the people - I thought it was. And it was so nice to know that finally last night, she shared with me what's in her heart. The regrets, the hurts. Man, I didn't know my sis is going through so much alone. I hope Vanessa's church would make her feel good.

And then, after talking so much. I told my sis I've decided to chase Vanessa. Wakaka. She's everything I look for in a gal. My sis told me her church is really noisy. You know, like those always shouting 'Amen!' and jumping around. The really enthu kind. And Vanessa only listens to christian songs. Only 2 gals in my life do that. Engrossing their lives with praises to the King.

And then I told my sis I couldn't chat anymore. Oh, and Vanessa's longing to meet me. Weehee, I told my sis I want to meet her too. Ok, anyway, baking Vanessa a cake for her birthday. Good enough right? My sis asked me to do it.

Oh yea, DotA competition's cancelled. What a bummer. BUT! We have learnt a new team that has reached new records!

31 Minutes!!

Don't even need -sm anymore!! Ok, most of you won't understand what I'm writing, so I'll just stop here. Haha.

But man.. 31 minutes!!

Ok ok.. before I end off. Here's my solo piece for the Musical.

I wonder why?

All my life I've wondered why
I was made to laugh and cry
Is it all part of some plan
Or just coincidence
I wonder why

All my life I've wondered how
Some can succeed in all they do
Even though they never seem
To try, they pull through
I wonder why

And I wish that I knew why
All the good things that I try
Always seem to go awry
However hard I try
I wonder why

I am wishing for a star
Just one little silver star
For someone to say
Well done son, here you are

I am wishing just one day
For some kind friend to say
Success at last!
Well done! The race is won!

I am wishing for a star
Just one little silver star
I'm wishing, wishing, wishing, for a star

I am wishing just one day
For some kind friend to say
Success at last!
Well done! The race is won!

Details about the wake

Before I go any further, I would like to notify you guys about the wake of Pam, Cheryl, and Rachel's Grandma. As you guys might already know, their beloved grandma passed on to be with the Lord last night. Let's all be here for them, let us all be a pillar of support ya?

Singapore Casket (Regency Room)
Formerly known as John Hochstadt Building
131 Lavender Street
Singapore 338737
(click here for the map)

And so, let's talk about what I did today. Firstly, I was woken up by Ben's sms, asking me about my email because he was signing us up for the DotA competition on Monday. Going to look forward to seeing the good versus the better (us).

Haha. And another message came Jonathan asking me about the wake. Took me some time before finally got hold of the details from Pastor. Thanks Pastor. And asked Jon if he wanted to meet earlier for dinner.

The impossible happened. He said YES.

Took me so much just to finally get to meet you Jon.. So he decided on Orchard, 3.30pm. But knowing Jon, I was kind of expecting him to 'fly my kite'. And thankfully, he didn't. Amazing. Ok, good job there Jon, please keep it up ya?

So met him at around 4pm. Can't believe he really came straight from school. Wearing his uniform and all, and tucking out. Yea, when was the last time I remembered I wore school uniform. Hahaha.

Got some food and went to a quiet corner, sat down and had our food. 1A curry puffs and Yakitori. Really good stuff. Chatted a lot, caught up with his life, because we haven't talked for a long time. Got to know more about school, family, and personal stuff. Really good to know you're doing great Jon. And of course, the usual crapping and joking around. Great time we had today.


































So we talked and talked for almost 1 half hours. Arranged to meet Ben at Lavender MRT station before going for the wake. He drove, so we agreed he would pick us up at Lavender then I would tell him how to get there.

We ended our chat there at around 6. Got down to the basement of Taka to buy some food. Proceeded to Orchard to take our train, and then suddenly both of us didn't talk for some time. And it seemed like a long time. Guess both of us had things on our minds.

So we were there early. Supposed time was 6.45, and we were there at 6.35. Decided to walk around a bit and sat down at the entrance of some Community Club. And then chatted again. Hahahaha. This time, Jon found out more about me, and what I've been doing.

Ben was so so late. He came at 7.05pm due to heavy traffic. Drove us there as I directed. Only a 2 minutes drive? Lolx. And so we arrived and talked to Cheryl, Pam, and Rachel. They seemed pretty alright, laughing a lot and all those stuff. So it's good to know they were prepared for their grandma to pass on.

Went for dinner at Lavender Food Centre. The famous Beef Kway Teow. Scrumptious. The 'liao' is more than the kway teow itself. And it's extremely filling if you got the $4 portion. Well worth every cent though.

Ben















Jon















And Jon played around with my cam















I really look like I was wearing school uniform. Really similar to ITE uniform. But I think it looks real good. I like the colour and stiff collar.

Went to play lan at Paradiz after dinner. Parted with Jon there, because he can't enter with uniform. And he wanted to go home anyway. Had a good game where 4 of the 5, in Team Dunamis, was there. A really good training game.

Me - Vengeful Spirit
Ken - Sniper
Ben - Dragon Knight
Aaron - Treant Protector
some other guy (supposed to be Andy) - Viper

VERSUS

Shawn (Ivy's Friend) - Lion
His Cousin - Spirit Breaker
3rd guy - Pudge
4th guy - Stealth Assasin
5th guy - Lightning Revenant

Ben sent me home. Really tired now. Going to rest early so that we can wake up early to train tomorrow morning. Followed by Drama Rehearsals in the afternoon, and then maybe I'll be going for the wake again tomorrow night. Take care guys!

We Are Here

It's 2.15am. Just as I was about to log off my computer, I decided to check my msn messenger. Surprisingly, Pam is online. She can't get to sleep because she's having nightmares.

And as I chatted further, I am told of a piece of grave news. To Pam and Cheryl, my condolences. Always remember that we, Dunamis Rock, will always be here for you. I don't know what to say, I'm just feeling hurt once more. Memories, sad ones.

But I'm glad we will all end up in a more beautiful place, the place where our Father sits on the throne. The place of eternity.

Lord, bless your children. Help those who are saddened. Help those who are grieved. Help them to grow through this. I believe in your power. Amen.

Met Ken then Isaac

And it's 5.45am in the morning. You guys are about to wake up for school, and here I am finding it so tough to sleep. Too much on my mind I guess. Haha.

Well, what did I do just now. Firstly, around the late afternoons, Ken asked me out for dinner. I was extremely reluctant to bathe, change, style my hair etc. I really didn't want to. But how often does a friend ask me out? Quite rarely, in fact. So I agreed.

Met him at 6.30pm, Tampines Interchange. Went to Tampines to walk around a bit and checked out the new stores that are now here. Amazing at how much they've improved Tampines Mall, not that it was ever bad. Just that, now it's fabulous.

Decided on PastaMania for dinner. Yes, call me rich or whatever, but I chose the cheapest I could find. Creamy Chicken Pasta, and Ken had Marinara (Seafood) Pasta. Both of us had good choices.




















Walked around a bit and chatted about life in general. Was good to catch up with my bro here. And like I said, I am so impressed with Tampines Mall now. Why?

1. Converse is renovated
2. There's TakoPachi
3. There's YakiTori
4. There's BreadTalk

And a lot more. The toilets were super nice smelling and clean. There were so many new restaurants. A pity the 77th, yet again, didn't have the wraist accessory design I'm dying to get. There are major companies like Starhub, and Singtel. Ok, I sound like I'm really promoting Tampines Mall..

Anyways, after walking a bit, we decided to head home. Ken wanted to go home and do some studying. As we approached the Bus Interchanged, I practically gasped.

The queue for 72 was extremely long. And without kidding, at least 80 people in the queue. I would have to wait for the next 2 buses before I can even board. I couldn't believe my eyes. The queue was extended all the way to the next berth. Bleah.

And just then, Ken just had to make a stupid suggestion.

Ken: Come my house, want?
Me: =.=

Guess what? I agreed. I couldn't be bothered to spend time waiting for some 72 bus home. And since I had the time, might as well drop by his place to watch the 9pm, Channel 8 show. His parents were away on holiday, and his brother was still in school. I wanted to see WoW anyway.

And see it, I did.















I think I might just get it (WoW) within the course of the year. Great graphics, great sound, great characters. And just as I was watching, the main door clicked.

Ben: I hear a very familiar voice!
Me: HaHAHAhAHaha!!
Ken: =.=

And within seconds, we were discussing about the DotA competition coming up this monday. Would be cool man! Imagine us winning the $1500!! $300 a person!! How cool is that?!?!

And as Ken continued WoW-ing, me and Ben were busy watching the 9pm show. I was talking to Jerome at the same time trying to concentrate on the show. Was quite a feat.




















And guess what was on Channel 5 after the 9pm show? It was 'A Light Affair'. A new reality speed dating program. Was cool to know the first 2 celebrities on the show were Fiona Xie and Howard from Eye for a Guy. And the show was hosted by Kui Jien, and rumoured girlfriend, Sarah Tan. Someone please verify.

Fiona Xie















Howard















Well, I was so very tempted to stayover at Ken's place, but because I promised Isaac to go Night Riding with him, I had to head home. Isaac was chatting with me on the phone all the way till I reached my doorstep.

He arrived at my void deck around 12.30am, and then we decided to head somewhere further for riding. If you guys don't know why these 2 dorks are riding so late at night.. It's because we want to keep fit and cycle on the road without much traffic.

BUT!!

Not even 5 minutes into the journey, my gears failed me. So I kind of pushed my way through all the way home to get my WD40, a lubricant. And thank goodness it worked. Finally, we could set off for Serangoon.

And because my tyres felt flat, we decided to stopover at Mobil Station to pump it up. Apparently, Isaac kind of pushed the entrance for the air to enter further into the tyre, making it impossible to pump. The very nice uncle then came to help us get it out. But to no avail.

- 15 minutes passed -

Still couldn't get it out even with pliers. I've had it. I prayed for God to give me strength. The uncle had to attend to a customer. Grabbing hold on the pliers, I believed that I could do it. And guess what? With very little strength, no kidding, I got it out!! Thank you Lord!! The uncle came back and couldn't believe it. Isaac was stunned too.

Isaac: How did you do it?
Me: I prayed for strength lor..
Isaac: Wow.
Me: God's Strength ma.. (pun intended)

Wow, talk about obstacles. We had so much problems just wanting to get to Serangoon. And thankfully, we let nothing get in our way. We were determined.

I lead, and Isaac followed. I decided to go against traffic, he was terrified but he had no choice but to follow. Haha. And we ate at the famous prata place, after taking so much time to get there. But we were thankful we made it.




















Ah, the delicious durian prata awaits. Talked quite a bit, and was well worth the tedious and almost impossible journey.

After supper at 2.30am, we decided to head home. Both of us were feeling tired already, and so we decided on the very tough, but shorter route home. We survived it. Peter has good stamina!!

And so we parted at my place. It was a great night of riding. I was glad we set our hearts to do it and finish it. Learnt a great lesson.

"When will you let God take the wheel?
When will you learn to trust when the road seems hard?
Will you learn to persevere?
Have you learnt to press on?"

These were a few of the questions I faced when I rode. Riding to me is more than just losing weight. It's about the time you spend thinking, and the wind in your face when you ride. It feels too good to be true. Anyone want to join us the next time round? Haha.

Time to sleep, it's 6.20am. Bad Peter Bad..

My First Valentine

I know you guys must be wondering and dying to know about my first valentine. And no Andy, I did not have cold feet. Ok, woke up a little earlier to do the special card for Cheryl, hand made. She said she rather cards than flowers.

The front of the card




















And in it, I wrote about how I felt she's been a blessing to me, and all the years of friendship we've shared.

At around noon, I was rushing to go Kovan to collect the flowers. Yes yes, I got flowers for her. Placed an order on Sunday after church. How can a guy not give a gal flowers on Valentine's Day. It's only gentlemanly. And Andy, I am smart enough to know she wanted white lilies. I knew it before you told me.

After collecting the flowers, I took the train down to Dhoby Ghaut, and then to Orchard. I was just on time. Thank goodness I was earlier than her. Oh yea, and everyone was looking at me in the train, especially the gals from SRJC. What a pity. They must have thought I was attached. Grr.

SRJC Gals: See See! That guy's got a huge bouquet!!
SRJC Guys: *jealous and envious*

Bwahahaha! Cheryl told me not to get them. But yea. Which gal really meant it when she said you didn't need to send her home? Rather, if you didn't, she'll break up with you. Lolx.

She came shortly after me. She turned so red when she saw the flowers and started hitting me.

Cheryl: You ah!! I ask you not to get them right!!
Me: I'm not that dumb..

And so we decided on Din Tai Fung for lunch. We had a great time of catching up and sharing with each other our personal walk with the Lord. And even after our food, we continued chatting till 3pm.

I told her to open the card I got her. Thankfully, she loved it.




















And do you see her T-shirt? It says, 'Feeling Single'. What a T to wear for Valentine's ah..

And halfway through lunch,

*vibrations from handphone*

- msg from Jonathan Tan -

Jonathan: Make it good. Lol.

=.= What was that?!?! I sat in silence for 1 minute before letting Cheryl see the message. She laughed. Bleah.

And shortly after,

- call from Samuel Yeo -

Sam: Hey, it's ok if I join you guys right?
Me: Sure!
Sam: I won't be lightbulb right?
Me: =.=

And Andy told me Sam won't be coming, said something about him having plans. Yea right! He went to school for nothing and made a wasted trip. But it was good he came, could catch up with him too.

She looks delighted




















Sam was so busy on his handphone




















And while we were walking around Wisma, guess who we saw. Someone whom Cheryl really didn't want to see. She didn't want that someone to see her with me and the flowers. But alas! We still saw Pam! Haha. Too bad Cheryl.

I was busy taking photos when someone pushed me. And then Cheryl screamed and Pam gasped. What weird reactions from the 2 sisters..

Pam: White Lilies!!
Cheryl: Yea..

And so, I took a photo of them both.




















Talk about coincidence. I couldn't believe Pam didn't have a date today la!! She was spending the day with her friends, because the school gave a school holiday due to good 'O' Level results.

Me and Cheryl




















And so after walking around aimlessly, we decided to go TCC near Centrepoint, the one Joram works in. It'll be cool to see him there.

And a few photos taken at the fountain outside Ngee Ann City

Cheryl and Sam















Cheryl and Me




















And we were just plain joking around.

Me: Hey Cheryl, I haven't seen anyone with a bigger bouquet yet!
Sam: Ya, your's is still the biggest so far.
Cheryl: Yea, thanks Peter.
Sam: Eh don't say too early. Later we see someone with a tree ah..
Cheryl: *bursts out laughing*

And guess what?!?! True enough..

Behold (try not to laugh)




















LOL

Nothing to say man. We really did see someone with a bigger 'bouquet' than Cheryl's. It was not a bouquet, rather, it was a pot. Goodness!!! Sorry, I need to control myself.

And so we arrived at TCC. Best.. Joram is not working today. That just spoilt our plans. But we soon recovered and decided on Macs 50 cents Cone! Cheapo right?

Flowers and Ice Cream




















And Cheryl just had to come up with some idea for Statue of Liberty















So, Sam decided to study. Me and Cheryl continued from where we left off in Din Tai Fung. We talked about how God can further use us for His kingdom.

Sam's Diligence




















And then we proceeded to Heeren. Looked for my wraist accessory but yet again was disappointed. Guess 77th really ran out of that design. So sad man..

And then she received a call from David, her australian friend.

Cheryl: David's joining us, can?
Sam: *nods* Three's a crowd. Teeheehee..
Cheryl: I think I should ask more gals to meet us.
Me: Ya, 3 guys and a gal with a bouquet. *queer*

We walked to Far East and went into a Christian Bookstore. And what was the first book that popped up in my face?

Spiritual Warrior

I was so very tempted to buy it. But as you guys know, I really don't like reading. So I kinda knew I wouldn't finish the book. Haha.

And then books just kept on popping up in my face. It was really like God speaking to me through the titles of the books. Amazing.

And we all got really tired from spending a whole day out. Decided to take a train to Yio Chu Kang, and then 72 home. Sam was going over to Cheryl's condo for cell group. Not her unit but the same tower, 3 floors down. David decided to spend a little more time in Far East, so we parted there.

We decided on KFC in Hougang Point for dinner. While Cheryl went to get Jollibean 'Tau Hui', I made Sam pose for a picture.

Sam, in all his cuteness




















Nice right?!?! I bet you'll have more gals wanting to know you now. Haha.

Cheryl and Tau Hui




















And after dinner, it was time to head home. Cheryl still held the largest bouquet at the end of the day. No one beat her to it. And beating gals to it meant she was most special this Valentine's Day. Or at least I hope you feel that way Cheryl. Thanks for having the day with me, I had a great time.

And it made it all worthwhile when she said this.

Cheryl: You made my day Peter.

Yea!! I scored! I made a gal's day!! Woohoo!! Okok, Peter, relax ah..

Haha. It was a great day. I had a great time and everything worked out well. Good to know that Cheryl is a cell leader in her church, leading a young people's group. Remember Cheryl, if you need people to talk to, Dunamis Rock is always here for you ok?

And so I am home, blogging. When suddenly, everyone starts asking me how was the date. Well, now you guys know. It was real cool. And Ken was bored, so he asked me to put this picture up.

The Mighty Turtle of Ken















=.= Nothing to say. He said it'll add to the popularity of my blog. Hmm.. really Ken?

Anyways, hope you guys had a wonderful Valentine's Day too. I'm wishing all of you all the best in pursuing your greatest love, God. Remember to always seek Him and never let the love grow cold.

"Don't let my love grow cold,
I'm calling out, light the fire again"

One Day to Valentine's

Well, It was quite a good day for me. Considering some website sponsered my IQ evaluation report, thinking I did better than most people my age.

Was quite interesting to find out I'm a Visual Mathematician. Kinda true, knowing that I'm relatively good in directions, and identify patterns really well. I learnt a lot from my report, and understood why I did so well.

So, tomorrow's Valentine's Day. I guess you guys already know how I am going to spend it. I'm going out with Cheryl, a great friend of mine since childhood. If you guys are hoping for something to happen, you can stop hoping now. We are meeting up because she is leaving soon back for Australia after her long break here.

I went to do some research and found meanings for different flowers. This is for you people out there who are cluelesss as to what to give your Valentine.

White Roses - Silent, Innocent Love















Red Roses - Unity, Romantic Love














White Lilies - Purity, Sweetness














Baby's Breath - Pure of Heart




















Yellow Tulips - Perfect Love




















Red Tulips - Declaration of Love




















Lavenders - Acknowledgement














Well, these are the favourites. I don't really understand why gals love them, but since they do, we as guys should show some appreciation to our girlfriends aye?

And the whole world know I'm meeting Cheryl tomorrow. How 'cool' is that? Well, but I believe it'll be a good meeting. She'll be leaving so soon, may be my last chance to meet up with her.

Alright guys. Have a great Valentine's Day tomorrow. Remember, if you don't have a Valentine tomorrow, God is still waiting to have a great day with you.

God Bless!

It's Just A Meeting

Had a horrible morning. Woke up late for service, and I knew I was doing back-up for Main. I have nothing to say. 2 days in a row, I was so late for my appointments. Peter Peter.. *sigh*

I finally knew what it meant to 'wrestle with God'. I wrestled with God for half an hour before coming to church. I won't elaborate cos it would take too long, and I guess you guys won't want to fall asleep aye? Learnt an important lesson today. Never leave God out of your life. Just remember, He controls the world, not the other way round.

Main service was great. Shelley lead and gave us a new CD for us to listen to. Has been 4 months since I got a free CD. Yes, call me cheapo.

Went for lunch, and that's where I started photo taking.

The food on the table















And reaching back to church, I couldn't help but spot a very bright gal. Well, firstly. Her hair highlights matched her under blouse. Secondly, it was so clear she was letting go of the option for entering JC.

A gal, with long thick streaks. A clear sign she's making a stand against entering JC, even with her good points. Wanna know who? Let me introduce you to a friend of mine.

Ah Lian Janine (hahahahaha)




















You almost couldn't believe a gal I mentioned above could actually have such a great smile right? Just look at her, seems like she's really happy with her decision.

And a picture of the people behind















Ok, service was great. Aunty Anna preached about our lives, and how we should live our lives. Quite a thinking one for me, reflected a lot on it.

But before we broke to small groups, Charlene talked to me and I told her how I struggled this morning. And I was glad I decided to make a stand against putting myself down and blaming God. I chose to trust Him and rebuke negative self talk.

Small groups was good.. UNTIL

Jonathan: Eh Tuesday ah.. Tuesday ah..
Ken: Yea, someone's got a date ya?
Me: ANDY YAP!!!
Andy: What I do?!?!

And the most shocking came when this was said.

Esther Lee: Ya.. Someone's got a date on Tuesday leh..

=.= How did she know? Apparently I found out that Esther found out from her small groups. Looking over, I saw that her small groups contained Cheryl.

!!!

I went over and asked, "Cheryl, what did you say?"

She replied, "It's nothing!! It's just a meeting what!"

Me: Yes I know.. But you're not the one staying here in Singapore you know..
Cheryl: Oh yea..
Me: And you don't have someone like Andy you know..
Cheryl: Oh yea!!
Me: And I am staying here in Singapore you know..
Cheryl: But it's ok la..
Me: =.=

And not long later, just about 5 minutes later, she screamed

Cheryl: I'm meetin Peter on Tuesday la!!
Guys: HUH?! We can't hear you Cheryl!!
Me: *speechless*

And because we were taking cab, together with Pam, everyone just had to make a big deal out of it. What was that..

And just before leaving, Cheryl said another killer phrase.

Cheryl: Don't go TCC ah!!
Cheryl: *whispers to me* we're going there.
Me: *still speechless*

And cos Pam wanted chocolates, we went to the petrol station to get them. And I saw bouquets of roses (3 in each), and they were selling at a obnoxious $13.60!! My goodness!! I bought it anyway, don't ask me why. And just as we waiting for the cab, Aunty Anna was across the road.

It was amusing to see how Aunty Anna and Cheryl communicated amidst heavy traffic. And best ah. Aunty Anna saw the bouquet in my hands. Looks like this Sunday is going to be a firing session from all the youths. Barrage I tell you..

But really. This is the first time I bought roses. I've folded them, I've seen people get them. But never bought one myself. And it had to be so expensive. And Pam, please stop winking at me regarding your sis. I know Tuesday is going to be a great time of fellowship.

Roses are beautiful















Or at least I think so? Some people love other flowers. Some like tulips, some like lilies. I wonder which one my future girlfriend will like.

*ponder ponder ponder*

Anyways, I got to go now. It's late and I have to sleep. Have a great week everyone!

God Bless!
