Who am I?

•July 28, 2010 • No Comments

The last episode of life is after all, death. So what exactly are we working towards to? What is my purpose in life? What can we look forward to? Why do we even live in the first place, only to find ourselves walking towards the dead end at the end of the day? The final question still remains,

Who am I?

Increasingly, more and more people around me are asking themselves this question. This big question. They paused to think, and stumble at it, for no answer came to their mind. They find themselves being called to live in a dying planet called Earth, work and fight their way out to make the best out of their lives, only to die not taking what you have achieved and not knowing where you would go?

Many of us have been living on expections. Not our own, but what the world expects on their shoulders. So much so, we adopt and see them as OUR expections, our goal. And after that we ask ourselves, what’s next? We panic whenever we find ourselves doing nothing, for it is at that moment we realised we have actually nothing to look forward to in life. And we start to ponder, who am I? We then hurry to check out the different enrichment courses we should take up, or what investment plans we should consider.

And I will ask again, do YOU know who you are? Do you see a hope in YOUR life? Or do you see yourself as “Well, study hard lor, work towards a first class honours and see where life brings me to“, “What else? life’s like everyone else” Do you see a bigger plan for you, and designed only for you?

What do you see?

Paintball was awesome!

Yeah it sure is. Damn fun! Though it’s really expensive – $49.90 for 250 paintballs. And I spammed them all like a Rambo. Haha.


I was nearly sabo-ed to eat a paintball (Yeah they are edible. Made of vegetable oil I think). NEARLY.

But still, I had a wonderful time. =D

I have a vision.

•July 21, 2010 • No Comments

How time flies. I didn’t even realise I have ignored my blog for 10 days. These 10 days flew past me just like that!

I suddenly have a vision. Or you can call it a thought, a goal, a dream, a whatever. But it just ran through my mind. In fact, many things ran through my mind after I ORD-ed.

I see myself to be heavily involved in the Boys’ Brigade, in the youth ministry and in the worship team! I see myself to be a freelance outdoor adventure trainer. I see myself owning a business that allows me to have a substantial passive income to supplement my life.

I have witnessed, and even been through myself, the power of outdoor adventure and how it can impact the lives of young people. I want to spend my time and energy in doing all these work. I thought of starting an Outdoor Adventure Training company. But the thought of having to do sales simply pisses me off. Being a freelance trainer is different! I don’t have to worry about making enough profits for my company. I don’t have to worry about the adminstrative work that needs to be done, the company operations and all. All I care, is that I give the best of me to the students. =DD

God has put in my heart, a passion for outdoors, youth and music. Being a Chemical Engineer was never my passion. I may have an interest in Science and Maths. But.. well you got the drift. =)

But then again, money is the root of all problems. We are always pulled back by the Singaporean dream of climbing up the corporate ladder fast enough to make big money, live comfortably and retire early. I want to get married before 30, start a family at 30 and live happily, peacefully ever after. That was the vision/goal/thought/dream/etc that I had years ago. After all, the petrolchemical industry pays well right?

Nevertheless, I will keep that vision deep inside my heart, commit it to prayers and not let it fade away. =)

This is me.

I got a sudden fear. It came creeping into my mind just minutes ago. I don’t know why. Fear of entering a new environment. Soon, very very soon, I will be in NTU, new place, new people, new experience. Nueve 6 (My faculty camp) was awesome, with new friendships forged. But still, that fear lives within me. This was the exact same feeling I got when I first entered NYJC. At this very moment, I just realise how weak and fragile I can be.

Spell Fun! Nueve 6.

Faculty camp was really awesome! So much so that I forgot how tough it is to survive on this damn planet called Earth. Really. It was only after camp ends then I realised – all good things must really come to an end one day and here I am, back to reality, where the demands of the world would weigh on our shoulders again. And after being an instructor for so long, it’s really refreshing to be a camper again, whereby my role is just to eat, sleep and play. =D

Awesome camp, awesome OG, awesome OG-mates, awesome seniors. I experienced many new things and activties that I never done before. The tough times we went through in Sentosa beach, fun times at the pool, Fright Night, getting dirty in the mud. And not forgetting the imbal Cheer fight and Amazing Race we had, which really bonded us together.

KO-ed for 15hours straight after I reached home. Seriously tired. I’m even guilty of missing BB parades and church on Saturday and Sunday. =(((  And until now I haven’t washed my muddy shoes. Zz. Oh and now I have fresh ideas for youth camp already! =DD


Pota Watomi ftw!

The rest of the photos and videos are all up on Facebook. I’m not gonna post everything here man. 5 days of godlike fun and craziness – my blog can’t handle that. Lol.

Ding Ding Dong Dong..

Come, taste and see that the Lord is good.

Before that,

BB Adventure Weekend:


Kitten blood stains. We actually witnessed a kitten being ran over by a van. We even helped to clear the dead body and discarded it away. What a memoriable incident for an Adventure Weekend. I took pictures of the van (with the license plate number, lol) and the dead kitten. I figured it won’t be nice to post them up. Before our very own eyes we saw how the poor kitten struggled in excruciating pain before it breathed its last. The cat died tragically. One of it’s eyes even popped out. =/

So that’s 2 weeks ago.

What a week in Malaysia. And how fast it just flew past. We had a wonderful time bargaining in KL Chinatown. Damn fun. Lol. Not because I got to buy things at the cheapest price possible, but it’s the bargaining process itself. And Justin is real good at that. He certainly has that glib tongue and I had a good time laughing beside him while he battles it out with the store owner. Lol.

Food was sedap I tell you. The root beer float from A&W, seafood, bak kut teh and the inevitable late night suppers we had, I guess I need to double up my training now. But still, I had a nice time feasting and indulging myself with the delicacies before I get my ass back in Macritchie again, huffing and puffing my lungs off and trying to catch up with JJ.

All in all, the church camp was good. For the very first time I laid my hands on a bass guitar. =D And I love it! =DD

The message was clear. Rev Jonanthan Lee is really one humorous speaker. I enjoyed every minute of his awesome sermons. Things are not going well for me. Not at all. Serious. Freaking dead serious. What a desert God placed me in. Damn! =/

But, at the very least, I know my God has not forsaken me.

Camps and MORE CAMPS!

Seriously my life is full of camps. Just as I thought I could take a rest from camps in July, I just received my NTU Freshman Orientation Camps Package. Which means, July and August will be flooded with camps again, but this time as a camper instead of an instructor. And their camps are not 3D2N. Its freaking 7D6N. I guess I shall abandon my initial thought of attending back-to-back-to-back-to-back NTU Orientation camps. Xiong leh. Lol.

Nevertheless, I’m still excited for all these orientation camps. I’m so gonna rock and havoc. Haha. I hope I got the time to work in Uncle Stanley’s Dog Care Company though. Play with dogs and get paid. Tell me where else you get that?

Church camp next week! DA BOMB. Many things happened ever since I ORD-ed. Life is sure full with excitement, amazement and fulfillment with God. At the same time, there were moments when I was puzzled, I struggled. I’m looking forward to this Church camp. For now, be still, do nothing and expect Him to overwhelm me with His presence.

Olay olay olay.

World cup is here. But why does all the interesting matches fall on graveyard timings?

I had a hard time pulling myself out of bed this morning for macritchie run. And it sucks when you need to seriously shit halfway through the run. Not to mention the nearest toliet is another 2km away. Wa I tell you I will never forget the feeling.

But still, today’s run was not too bad.

Well well..

Tired, but =D.

Adventure Weekend was nice. =D Really thank God for the awesome weather. =DD I can’t imagine what would happen if CAT 1 comes. I was obviously not well prepared for any wet weather contingency plan. Nevertheless, I hope everyone had a totally new experience in this year’s Adventure weekend – from the animal farm to the fatal cat accident, to being the undertaker for the poor cat and to sleeping totally outdoors under bashas. It was a real learning journey for everyone, including myself. Well, be prepared for a more solid Adventure badgework next year!

Pictures up next post!

Stumbled upon this in Yue Ming’s blog and I found it really.. heartwarming. =)

Did you ever wonder why I don’t use my power to make poeple do what I want?

I wanted a real relationship with you. That’s why I gave you a freewill. I wanted you to have freedom to choose me. If I had to force you to love me, would your love mean as much?

Sometimes you will make the wrong choices. But I’m willing to risk that, because when you finally choose my plans for you, I know it will be your decision.

-GOD

And my eyes are damn red now. Don’t know why. =/

Tag leh.
