Sunday. Super Sian NO MORE!!!

Haha, it’s the time of the week, it’s SUNDAY!!! not moonday but sunday. So rise and shine and let’s go praise the Lord!!! Hahas. Before I start, I want to thank Cynthia for commenting on my blog entrys. Cause it’s the only evidence that ppl actuall READ my blog because there are traces of evangelism that I leave in every entry. Lols. I’ll answer the question "what is love" some other time. haha anyway, today’s sermon was on trusting Jesus. He will take care of our every need and he will never let us go. (Hm…maybe I should do that to a homosexual son, unless he denounces his relationship with God then probably I’ll kick him) Then the pastor said something rather meaningful. As we all know there are 3 possible reactions to prayer by God. Number one: Yes, number two: No, number three: Wait. Then he went on to give a true story of this woman who went to believe in other Gods because she felt that God wasn’t answering her prayer. Then he said this: God knows our every need and he knows what is best for us. When he says no, it means that it is the best. But if we ask for something, he not give us something worse! He will not give us a stone when we ask for bread and a snake when we ask for fish (it’s somewhere in Matthew can’t remember)…When that was my tar-pau or takeaway for that day.
Haha, after Sunday school (I prefer the term Bible study class but nvm), there’s time for YF!!! Lols, our group is in charge of the activity today and we’re playing CSI…For those who attended IPO, this would not be new. We actually acted out the murder. The "victim", preacher Jon Yeo, was supposed to be poisoned to death. He acted it out while we were having brunch in the pantry…IT WAS SO REAL!!! You know like how someone looks like when he’s having convulsions and looks pale and everythingI knew it was coming but I didn’t expect it to be that real, and the best thing is that his wife actually came running into the pantry in tears fearing the worst…But we revealed it was an act later…Hope this incident didn’t affect their relationship :). Lols
And soon the game commenced. I was given the role as a policeman/forensic scientist…It was rather boring for me as not alot of the groups actually came to me asking for tip-offs. 1 group did and I made them run up the church’s spiral staircase in 20 seconds. The brothers did it in 17. So they got their "extra-info". Lols, I guess this really scared them off from coming to me anymore. Lols…
Anyway, none of the groups came close to the murder plot anyway but we all had a good time of fellowship and bonding… …
Just some inside info if you come join my church
 
PS. There’s a witnessing workshop next week, hope all those from my SS class and those Christians from 06v13 going for the BBQ please attend. It will be a great help. Time is 12:30 to 3-4? Venue Zion Presbyterian Church @ along upper Changi road…
See you there! I hope…
Lols

Sianded Saturday + Friday

Yoz, Halo-phile readers lol. I guess we have enough ethical debate so here’s another slice of MY life… Well, not that my life is super interesting but I DO hope it’s interesting but sadly it isn’t INTERESTING at all! What an un-interesting weekend and therefore the name Sianded Saturday…
I guess it’s going to be like that for the rest of my IP life…Super sian weekends. Do homework and nothing else. amazingly I managed to squeeze in 15 minutes of Xbox. OMGosh, I managed to kill two hunters with 2 shots from a beam rifle…Why am I so pro… Lols, anyway it’s 15 minutes. 15 minutes isn’t good enough to satisfy my cravings(I am a halo-phile) after all… But the thought of homework manages to keep my desires at bay. (Imagine that) Homework homework homework CHINESE tuition, then homework homework homework. Where’s the recreational part? Other than going out for dinner with my uncle and the measly 15 minutes of Halo 2… … I guess it’s my social life in school that keeps me alive and not turning into some mindless zombie. After all, there’s the crap board to write, people to diao and someone special to observe hahahas.
Thank goodness the weekends are only 2 days. But wth? Why do we look forward to the weekend when we love the weekdays? Because there’s no school? Or because we LOVE to do the weekend homework that those evil weekend-joy-snatchers give so freely to us? haha. Well, that sums up my Sianded Saturday. Hope it’s not a Sianded Sunday tmr. But there’s church and a sermon to listen to and YF to attend! can’t be sian…Haha welcome all to join my church, esp that special someone. Working on it though hahahahahahaha.
 
Now for the ultra lagging report on Friday hahas. Before I start on the highlight of the day, I shall explain the workload given on thursday. Maths task OTOT (own time own target). The next day, 12 ppl were standing because they didn’t do their work, including me. Erm, wasn’t it supposed to be OTOT? Nvm, keep quiet and face the music or the angry/pissed teacher. We were given a long lecture on the IP1’s behaviour in the college and how we misuse our priveledges given to us…Ok, still can tahan since SOME of them are true. Then she started taking down names. Wth? Nvm, I still can put up with this, I’ve been through worse before. Patience through adversity. There goes my attitude marks, sliding down the drain. Looking around at everyone’s either shocked, sorry or expressionless faces I turned by eyes back to my table. After the lesson, Lisa was complaining teary-eyed and was VERY agitiated about the matter.
"Wasn’t it OTOT? See? She’s going to minus our attitude marks!"
"Relax, calm down, that’s the worst that can happen, nothing else."
And Cynthia was asking everyone who didn’t and did their work,"I thought she said OTOT?"
"Relax lah…No point getting stressed out on the matter."
"I’m not, really."
I knew she was lying.
As for me, being the apathetic, emotionless me, I felt nothing. This incident was nothing more than throwing a paper ball at me. haiz, what can I do? Great, it’s in my high-S nature, I’m not assertive at all. Lisa and Cynthia were all-ready to "confront" Miss Hoo about the matter and here I am swaying in the wind like nothing happened. Good and bad…
*sigh… …
Sometimes I feel like a rock, lying on the river-bed, gushing water nor gentle currents can move me. And I’m trying to develop people skills. Yeah right… How am I supposed to be a true friend when I can feel? As if there’s a great wall of China built in my soul. I can receive love but I can’t give it…Big problem…Love thy neighbour as yourself. Hard. Getting to love that special someone, hardER…
*sigh… …
Keep on trying I guess…

Should you disown a homosexual son? (*continued form previous entry)

Cynthia has commented on my statement. She says that I should be patient and let the Lord work on my son. But what if I have given my son 2 years of "reformative training", and I constantly pray for him but he still insists on his ungodly ways. What are you going to do?
I can put my faith in the Lord that he can change my son. But what if he has destined my son to be one of the many who were to become such during the end days (fufillment of the prophesy in revelations). The world is to become such an immoral world. What if your son was one of them. But that would be cruel wouldn’t it? Destining someone to sin to fufill a prophesy that would signify the end of the world. But without him there would be no signs of the second coming. Should I still blame him for being homosexual?
What if my son is an angel? Can it be that people are not touched but instead angels descend onto Earth to fufill the prophesies that God has made us. But that would be a lie wouldn’t it? God says something will happen and then he sends his angels to make it happen. That is not the case. Anyway, angels don’t sin, do they?
 
Link with me and post your thoughts whether or not in a Christian’s perspective. Just post your thoughts on disowning a homosexual son. Will you do it?

Tuesday: A new commitment…

Alright, it’s another tuesday BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY, THIS DAY WE FIGHT! MEN OF THE WEST!!! -Aaragon. Haha, today during school I asked who wants to go for the BBQ on the 12th March. Nobody, Nivek said he might be going but he’s already a Christian…Btw, it’s an evangelical thing. Be prepared to be told about the gospel at the BBQ. But looking at the number of people who DIDN’T raise their hands…It’s dissappointing at least to me. I’m not saying that everyone should go but at least someone? Haiz…Now I have a new commitment. I shall bring at least 2 ppl to Christ by the end of this year. This is my personal goal as a Christian.
Today I was chatting to Yin Hong, I sidetracked to ask her whether she wanted to go for the BBQ. Answer was not I’ll consider or what was it about. The answer was a straight no. She said she was a Buddhist and didn’t want to come because it was a Christian thingy. BUT!!!! She has not heard the gospel…hahaha…her life is about to change for the better…
By judging by the ratio of Believers and non-believers, the difference is vast…And furthermore many of the non-believers have not heard of the gospel. Why hasn’t anyone told them?! How sad it would be if you were doomed to hell because no one told you there was another better way? Fine, I shall save them from this doom New resolution: I shall preach the gospel to everyone in this class 06V13, whether they believe or not is another thing. However, I cannot do this alone, I need my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to help me on this mission. Hm…I should tell them about my vision for the class… …
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back…
 
Tho no one join me, still I will follow,
Tho no one join me, still I will follow,
Tho no one join me, still I will follow,
No turning back, no turning back…  – Christian song
(My prayer for the day)
Anyway, other than that or the above…I was posed a very difficult question today. Since I was against homosexuality(topic for our Imagineering project), would I disown a homosexual son. Ouch, tough question. I told them yes if he doesn’t listen nor tries to reform himself. Everyone was shocked. Why should they? It’s straight-forward-homosexuality should not be allowed. And Prissy was saying we SHOULD accept it since it’s a growing trend.  Inside I was like burying myself in guilt. She needs God too…And I blew my chance of sharing the good news with her…Feel like whacking myself… We should not conform to the world. Growing trend or not, it should not be allowed. For a few simple reasons you can even think of yourself. Anyway, if my son were a gay, and would not listen to the word of God nor the pastor or anyone who has authority, he is to be considered to be a pagan. And I would not allow myself to have a pagan son, even if he were he should not be homosexual. Therefore I will disown him, I will not ankowledge him as my son again till he finds out his mistake and asks for forgiveness from me and from God. Answer is still a yes.
 
If you read this, I WANT your comments about my new mission and about my answer about disowning a homosexual son.

Super lag entry. Supposed to be on Wed.

Thursday…what an interesting day

Hi…Today was just another thursday but NO MORE!!! Because it’s Donovan’s and Mr Yang’s birthday and I’m down with some stupid throat infection. Some fancy name for a sore throat and fever but heck, I shall make it for school today despite the MC that allows me to stay at home and slack/miss lessons/accumulate more homework. I woke up at 8 at reached school by 11:11. I had to take me medicine first right? And some other stuff to do before I go to school. And I could have reached school earlier if the 31 bus didn’t just zoom past me. Actually it was full of ITE students but hey, I’m the only one at the bus stop and there are still empty pockets in the bus… … This thing is becoming a problem, they should increase the number of bus services at the ITE, for the benefit of the ITE students themselves and for others like me. So I wouldn’t have to squeeze up and down the bus time after time. Anyway, at school, I hurried up the stairs and opened the classroom door… …Many amazed faces sun around and faced me, mouth agape… "T.Kwok!" Donovan was first to break the silence followed by many others who all seemed to advise me to make use of my MC. What the hell… …hahas. Then after I have taken my seat Miss Fong asks,"Thomas are you ok?"
"Yeah, I’m fine." (Duh…if I wasn’t, would I still be here?)
"sure?
"yup, I’m ok."
Then she continued with the group presentations.
Anyway after that was the Super-long Lunch break!!!
And we were supposed to celebrate the duo’s birthday but Mr yang wasn’t free so too bad, cut cake later.
After school, we all got back to class and Mr Yang finally showed up with a birthday cake of his own.(He bought another 1 since he saw the one we had for him and said that it wasn’t a surprise anymore… -_-") So we stick the candles and whoops… Anyone got a lighter? nope. After cutting the cake, whoops…anyone got tissue? nope. Great, who planned all this? We finally managed to get 2 tissues and gave  the 2 pieces to Donny and Mr Yang. And THEN…mass dance with Mr Yang not knowing any of them… Haha
And NOW comes the exciting and the STUPIDEST thing that happened. Anyway Cynthia started it and actually went over to V12 to do it too. She, got her bloody finger into the cream and smeared it onto the B.day boy. That was stupid. Then everyone started doing it… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL??? Come on! Sec 3 already leh…Still doing this kind of thing. Seriously, you could have banged your head against the wall if u saw it. Somehow only the girls were playing and Donny and Chengsy. Aren’t they supposed to mature faster than us? I’m doubting that now…SERIOUSLY doubting that now…And THEN…Prissy decides to involve me in the "party". With fingers fully armed she set out on her conquest. Well of course I saw it coming and I blocked her onslaught with my arm. However she would not relent and I pushed forward and knocked her to the ground. Well, I feel rather bad about it now since I exercised my strength on a girl.(Not that I’m very strong or something) All in the name of self-defence…haiz…sometimes I forget I’m in VJ not VS anymore, this tactic would have helped to escape a      tau-pok or some cruel or sadistic activity. Haiz, well if you’re reading this I apologise…Still frens? =)
Anyway after the onslaught, Kenny caught me and several attackers came to deface my face with cream…And again exercising my "anti-taupok skills" I wriggled free and immediately dashed to the other corner of the classroom.
Just after this incident and rejoicing that I escaped the attack and telling ahmad how I nvr got tau-poked in VS, I felt a finger brush past my neck… … OMGosh, I’VE BEEN HIT!!! Medic! Wonderful…Cynthia is prancing around delighting in the fact that she was the first to "hit" me and ahmad laughing hysterically because I claimed to have certain skills…Great…As I said, I forget I’m in VJ, cuz in VS if u escape the first onslaught you’re relatively safe since they know you’re no fun anymore. Well, it’s so different here…Must adapt…
I went to go clean up and while returning back to class, there Prissy was again…Fingers loaded. Crap, not again? Now she REALLY seemed all out to hit me. I backed off, she increased her speed…I turned around and ran. She soon stopped after realising that she couldn’t catch me and put that stupid cream on my face.
"You can’t catch me…" I taunted…
"come on lah…It’s valentine’s day…"
WTH?? Some reasoning leh…
Well, rather interesting day right? Hahas
P.S.Jason or any other VSCO members. Just sth more to add. A few girls in my class think Ming Cong is CUTE… ??!! They actually set up a MCFC, Ming Cong Fan Club. Amazing right? Pls help me do a favour by telling Ming Cong to hise himself the next time he comes to VJ for electives. We don’t want the MCFC to be screaming their heads off. Ty

Another Sunday? Not for me… …

Another beautiful Sunday. Time to go to church to praise the Lord! But today is going to be different! The grandson of the great Hudson Taylor is here to give his message! Hudson Taylor is a great missionary who went to China to spread the gospel. The great thing is that this Ang Moh can actually speak Chinese, hokkien, cantonese and english! How many of us can do that? Wow. And during his sermon, for the first time in my entire Christian life, I didn’t feel bored when the speaker is elaborating only 1 chapter of the bible! WoHo…
alright, so much for exciting hahas. But it truly was a new experience.
And as for Saturday (haha lagging, again…), someone also had a new experience. I shall use * to protect the person’s identity. Hahas I don’t want anyone to know about it but hey, it’s my blog. I write what I feel right?
Hehe, anyway yesterday was my church’s gospel rally and they invited a taiwanese "tribal" choir to come and sing. Since it was choir, I thought * might be interested so I called * to come. * agreed and was coming with his/her mum. What joy! If you can get somebody can come that’s great but 2 ppl that’s pure ecstacy… I quote the scriptures saying that if you are saved, the whole family shall be saved because of you. I hope I’m right but more or less. Anyways, I sat throught the whole thing and here are my feelings about it.
1. Wonderful singing but too high for me.
2. Where’s the emphasis??!! 90% of the time was singing. And the songs held very little meaning about Christ. Why is it called a gospel rally if there’s only singing?
3. The sermon is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too short and the message was inappropriate for non-believers. How will a >5 minute sermon about "miracles" affect someone. What a dissapointment. I was hoping that * would want to find out more about Christ through this gospel rally. Guess I blew it…
4. I didn’t enjoy the whole thing and so did * and * ‘s mum (I guess). Some gospel rally leh…
 
anyway, If * so happens to read this. (You know who you are) Please read the following below and talk to me about it the day after.
 
The 4 spiritual laws…
Ever felt that your life was empty and that nothing you did could fill it in? Ever wondered what would happen to you once your life is over? Is it really the end? Ever wondered if there was some superior being up there but don’t know who?
Let me tell you, Jesus Christ can solve all these problems.
 
1. Jesus loves you. Yes he loves you and each and every one of us. He loves and created YOU to know him personally. He can be your friend, your brother, your source of comfort. You can count on him.
 
2. Our sin keeps us from knowing God personally and experiencing his love. All men have sinned, it’s in our human nature. Sin seperates us from God and brings about an emptiness in our hearts that only God can feel. But we are always trying to fill it with our own efforts like money, career,friends and the ist goes on. But we always fail.
 
3. Jesus Christ. God’s ONLY solution for our sin. Through HIM ALONE we can know God’s personally and experience God’s love. Jesus came down to Earth to save us from our sins. He was rejected and persecuted by man and he sacrificed himself on the cross. An atonement for sin. He died but rose again on the third day. Through his death on the cross, we can know God personally and experience his love for us…
 
4. We need to personally receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord, then can we know God personally and have his love. It’s that simple, have faith that there is a God that can save you from sin and personally invite him into your life and watch as your new life as a christian is being renewed by the Lord.
 
Ok, that’s all for the 4 spiritual laws. Anyone who wants to know more can approach me. Or drop me a note k? And there will be a BBQ held by my church’s youth fellowship(YF). If you want to know more about Jesus Christ you can come also. Details are on the 06V13 noticeboard. (It’s the blue card I pinned up.) Pls go take a look. There will be a pre-BBQ games held at my church, also organised by the YF. Pls come…(Look for me for details)…
Haha
That will be all for my "exciting" weekend… hahas I also had so much "FUN" doing my homework!!! "Fun"…

Class Com elections.

Anyway…Class com. elections today…

Anyway…Class com. elections today(8 feb)

hehe lagging…sorry only updated this 3 days later because IP homework is simply massive!!!

Anyway, back to class com elections. During CT period, we were supposed to give a speech to the class and I was unaware…I tot it was much later but haiz…Always expect the unexpected. I had something in mind anyway… First up is the CT rep( clachairman) nominees!!! And I was one of them. But heck! I’m the only guy!!ss ! Where’s everyone else? Lisabelle, Prissy, somebody and me were the nominees… I gave some shitty 1 min speech(it was supposed to be 1 minute whew!) and the other 3 went next. I was first to give my speech…Ever had the kind of feeling that when you go first and then someone says something else later that makes you feel like saying, "Shit! I wanted to say that!" ? Well it happened to me. But whatever happened happened anyway ( quote from the matrix, hehe). And then we had to leave the classroom and wait for everyone to finish voting (they write their votes on a piece of paper) then we came in. Next was he secretary/treasurer post. My FAV post!!! Yippee! But to my horror there were 4 other contestants…Donovan, Chengsy, Nivek and Caitlin… OMGosh… Nvm, I retain the hope that my fellow classmates will vote for me… I gave my speech again. This time after bullshiting about my whatever qualities, I told them about my passion to be the secretary.

And they laughed.

What so funny.

I was serious then, a face of mine that not many see all the time. But other than the crappy talkative T.Kwok that all of you know so much about, there’s another side to it. I can be serious if i want to and I can just change personalities just like that <snap>. I don’t think many took my speech seriously but I really do hope I get to be the secretary/treasurer. I mean how many ppl do u know are so enthu about being the "slave" of the class? No one right? Well today u just knew someone who is willing to do it all.

Hm…this should be part of my speech…too bad it’s over.

Next was the welfare and house rep posts.

Just a little info, I’ll tell u ppl who I voted for.

Male welfare: Chengsy

logistics (if there was such a post) : Nivek

Female welfare: Prissy

house rep: Cynthia

Ok, that’s all for voting and stuff. Now I have to bury myself in homework.

PS: If you voted for me for secretary/treasurer pls tell me *optional but pls tell. hehe
