Two more days before the start of the prelims. And i am stressed. Very. In fact, im so stressed that i have decided not to complete typing the contents of this post. Leave it to next friday maybe. Btw. The lindyhop thing today in school was so cute. Seeing the couples go onto stage and all...just makes me wanna go awww. Can you imagine if prom was like that.?... Speaking of prom...i'm being to feel that it is abit overated la....okae...no more ranting. Study. Oh..one more thing to add. Thanks to Xia Xue, Furrong Jie Jie has become a laughing stock for us.....Okae, now study..

It's amazing what people do and say when they think no one is looking. A totally different facet i guess. So why.?...

Woah. Boy, was cell group great today or what?! It was, is and will be man.! Okae, fine, im really hyper now. Rocked man. Aniwaex. Tomorrow's drama night. It's strange though, how some people are fretting and obeisance over what to where tomorrow. Just because its a school function where we can where home clothes, it seems as though that they just simply HAVE to make an impression. Does that scream insecurity or what.? Okay fine, maybe im a little over my head head, or maybe Im simply talking about myself ( though i highly doubt it, i havent even thought about what to wear). Okae fine whatever...

I'm VERY pissed off. Takes on a self-righteous tone.- sometimes, people can be just so amazingly shallow. Call me childish, call me immature, call me petty, call me over sensitive. I don't really care. ( nonchalant-talk to the hand tone) . Strangely, I'm pissed off at an issues that isn't exactly about me, but one that I'm so involved in. Whoever said that ' sticks and stones can hurt my bones, but words can never hurt me' ( or worse, so other person's bones...namely me.) must have been some kind of imaginary perfect world.

On a lighter note though. This week's leadership files came today. Yea. And there could not have been a more apt and appropriate topic. It must be destiny man!



THE MEANING OF LIFE

Everyone needs attention.
Recognition is the food of the soul. Most are starving.
Everyone needs to love and to be loved.
If we give people attention maybe they'll stop doing those annoying things they do to get attention.
Giving others significance is possibly the greatest gift all of us have.
Many live in high-minded delusion because no one gave them significance.
Meaningfulness is the ache of the soul.
What is the meaning of life?
We give the meaning of life to people, when we recognise their abilities, achievements and impact the world.
Don't wait for the funeral. Send flowers today!

Hopefully, shallow wont be shallow tommorrow. I promised to protect you and I intend on keeping to it. ( Gish, that sounds so gallant)

Why of all days does daddy choose not to bring home his labtop today! Looks like no furthur updating till day-break.

OOh and i forgot to mention today at cafe cartel was fun. Daryl as cpnn as usual. And dahila revealed her cpnn side too, taking full advantage of the fact that there was free flow of bread. And a word of caution ( thnks to daryl) NEVER leave the table when playing the number game. For fear that some scheming boys might gang but agaisnt you and sabotage for. Resulting in you having to eat tabasco sauced bread. Hee hee. But, i do feel extremely bad about what happened after that. We are good actors. For a bad cause.

Hmm. A B3 for chinese. Must say. Its a rather bittersweet feeling. Bitter= It's a freaking B! Ra and what's worse, i will never know how close ( or rather , how far. But i choose to think postive) I actually got to the A. Poo. On the pther hand, sweet= I honestly did not expect to get a b3 ( reference to my D7 dream). Considering my chinese standard, B3 isnt bad. In actual fact, i seriously came as quite a surprise. Of course, an A would have been better ( Not the mention the inclusion of me jumping up and down like a retarded monkey) but, the fact that i got a B3 aint that grim a reality either. Now comes the big question of whether to retake. I'm rather inclined not though. I seriously have no confidence that i can do any better. Well, guess i have to start bia-ing for my other subs. As a result, I'm starting my study marathon. Supposedly wiht lea yee. But have no idea where the pok he is.! PS me! You better feel guilty when you read this.
Cell group just know rocked the message was so inspiring and i honestly felt it applied to me. With 'that' and yada yada yada. Glad that such a sermon was preached. Whoo...leadership files are out again. Interesting.

FINDING A WAY!


Hi, I'm Phil PringleYou're going to love this;

The leader communicates the vision and announces the plan.

He selects and commissions a team to find the way to make it happen.

Consensus is good to a point; then it's all about leadership.

After a certian point the team are not the ones to say whether it can or cannot be done.

Moses' team exceeded their commission.

They were meant to find a way to implement their leaders' vision.

The finance people, the PR people, the management team are to find ways to make it happen, not find reasons why it can't happen.

A majestic thing is a leader and his team working together properly (Proverbs 30:30,31)

Cool as usual. I can finally lead a dog acorss the road! ( Corny and lame. Yes, i admit it)

Whee, i am one happy boy.! Retail therapy is indeed potent enough to relieve stress. Blessing again from god. Wow. Yes, I admit am a shoppaholic. But what can i say, I am but a true Singaporean ( see, i am patriottic). Not to mention that shopping actually helps boost the economy and create more jobs.
I have gotten a step closer to my dream of going on holiday after my o-levels thanks to the online travel site- zjui.com.sg..it has put a smile on my face. Amazing, flights and hotels are affordable. Only that i have mot read the fine print which is likely to have some kind of catch carefully encrypted within. However, though deals there seems extremely attractive and stuff, I still have to bear in mind that it is still arise and build season, and that I have to keep to my frugal lifestyle ( shopping was paid by my parents. No iren, that in no way justifies the fact that i am a spoilt brat. Just because i am the only child doesnt qualify me as a spoilt brat.)
Another reason to smile. This year's national day is good man. Happy birthday Singapore.

It's that time of the year again, where the patriotic spirit in Singaporeans is suddenly aroused, people begin putting up the national flag and the theme song of the ndp begins to be incessantly played over and over and over and over again. Okay fine, being a typical singaporean, i must admit, that the whole national day cum love Singapore spirit which is pretty much dormant for the most of the year ( if even existent) is arising within me. Not for long though. I know that tomorrow, in school during the national day celebrations, any patriotism arising within would be hammered to the ground by 1) Being forced to sit under the blistering sun 2) Being forced to see rather senseless national songs 3)The bio test that is after the 'celebrations' 4) The thought of the prelims which may i add are drawing near extremely fast. So, what reason is there for cheer? The long holiday break ( of two days) i guess. Good time for us to study.

Today was our sixteenth anniversary at indoor stadium. Was good. Indeed, the indoor stadium is beginning to feel like our own. Ushering was good today i guess. Only now that i'm left with aching feet from all the running around in my leather shoes. Ouch. But the highlight of today was when shaun blessed me with the new live worship album ' Cross'. Whuueet love it man.! Thanks Shaun.! It's great to have you as a leader. What's more, in view of the fact that we share the same surname, we are related, we are distant cousins.

And today, we wish MR TAY CHAI HUAT a big happy birthday! Yea. cheers and screams from the imaginary crowd of people..

So much to document. So little time. How.? Upcoming- Why you should never lean on mrt windows. Pictures included.

Yea. New edition of leadership files is out.




INTEGRITY

Quote - "Eighty percent of graduating students from universities in the U.S. said they would violate ethics if it meant it would help them get ahead', Chuck Colson, Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast, Canberra, November 17th, 1997.


Hi, I'm Phil Pringle ( Who i'm obviously not )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When success is at the expense of integrity we have failed, not succeeded.

We should not be so result-orientated that we will do 'whatever it takes' to achieve the bottom line.

Doing the right thing may sometimes jeopardise the bottom line.

Respect for God, once called the fear of God, needs to guide our choices.

Do the right thing.

Let the chips fall where they may.

The people who matter will respect and trust you.

You'll sleep at night and save thousands of dollars on therapy. ( Hahax...You gotta admit, it is comical...a little at least)

The mind with a fractured conscience sees with a broken perspective.

The untroubled mind is free to dream.

"Blessed are the pure in heart. They shall see...."

See...good right, one of the things i look forward to in my week. Understandable hopefully.

As proof of how bored i really am

Okae fine, i just admit it. I'm just too bored being at home alone. How appealing can eight hours of straight studying for physics be.? Stuck with what seems to be eternally parched throat and some indecent croaking for a voice, life now is terrible. And it isn't helping either that dark clouds are looming in the sky. Thunder, lightning, raindrops, torrents of rain. And to push all the buttons, there is some irritating drilling noise coming from goodness knows where. And now, i have to restart my computer so as to be able to attach my zen micro. But don;t worry, i doubt i will be whining anymore when i finish this post.

Today, third of august. The day that I cant go to school and am stuck at home. Thanks to the bad flu/ cough that i caught ( Likely from gladys. Ra!) I'm at home today, happily (okay that's definately an overstatement) cramping for tommorrow's physics test. Albeit despite the many tissues in the rubbish bin and the many cups of chinese herb drinks to soothe my throat and whatever other part of my body that is not functioning properly, I have to force myself to continue on studying for phyics lets see.

n = sin i divided by sin r. Apologises for any undue stress caused.

Guess later i need to call someone to find out what they did in school today.
Gee. they should be having physics lessons now with five more mintues to reccess.

My only regret is that today i wont be able to join the rest of my darling e305 in fasting for service.

Okae, Fine, i'm quite pissed at the fact that i post that i spent an hour on on saturday with pictures and all cant be posted. Ra.! Anyway, just got back from chemistry test, on the way, was reflecting on sunday's service with mike connell. Wow, what can i say, so amazing la. I love the way he preaches, the messages that he preached rocks! And although i didnt get prayed for. ( Boo!) and went back for the second service but i was a different alter call ( double boo!) but, still, no regrets. The word that he preached in the second service totally rocked la. And the love of god could be felt so strongly in the auditorium. Whoo. Jesus indeed does rock. Next on. Pui la. Why does biology test have to be on monday.? If it wasn't right then daryl lea yee and dillon would come for church anniversary la. But, alas. As usual Ms Lim has to be the spoiler of everything. Ra! But anyways. This is an extremely exciting week. FOP and church anniversary. Still believing god that friends will say yes. And if you happen to want to come. Hahax. More then welcome. Email me or msn me lo. Hahax. [bubblegumboytwister@hotmail.com]
