Why hello there!
I know i haven't been posting for some time.( A very long time actually. =P )
But.... UPDATES!
YESTERDAY.....
I totally went to church early, and after service, Levin and J Leong came over with the intention of producing a recording of Levin's song, but we ended up watching 'Wedding Daze' Which i must say is a really hilarious movie!!!
Then, we met daniel at..... my place.... then the 4 of us ventured to supposedly sommerset due to miscommunication, before bus-sing to suntec, where retardedness took over.
Yep. Seeing Toys 'R Us, we coulddn't resist, And entered!
Lots of random nonsense. haha
Alright. Time to sleep! Toodles!

POP QUIZ!
Should Chris continue putting up his boring life stories in here?
Discuss.
FEEL the BEAT.
Alright. I have the sudden urgency to update. Don't know why. just an urgency to update.
What about, i don't know. WAIT! it just occoured to me...
I must say, i am anguished.
I'm still running my life down the wall, even after all he's told me.
I keep telling myself to upgrade, but i'm still stagnant.
But this, i've decided im ready to invest all my willpower to curb this downhill cycle, and go up.
It'll be tough i know. But i declare to everyone reading this now. i will succeed in conquring myself.
Another thing on my mind. What is a good christian?
I look around at my chirchmates, and i see a whole bunch of pretenders. Not all of them are though. Names aren't needed. You know yourselves.
Ever wondered why YCCA is so stagnant, while Lighthouse, which is younger than YCCA is so strong and powerful?
Yes, It's the people.
I daresay, i feel more at home at lighthouse, than in ycca, even though i'm only a visitor.
Nowonder so many people have moved on from YCCA to lighthouse.
And wanna know how they are now? They are closer to the Lord, than they have and could ever been in YCCA.
Why do i know? because they are my parents.

Is a blog for RANTING?
Have you wondered that,
If you were severely injured, and had to be hospitalised for a long period of time,
Who would visit you, and how frequently?
Yep... haha sometimes i wish i were knocked by a bus or something, and had to be hospitalised, just to see which nice people would visit me...
And there's also the friends who would root for you, and stand up for you, and just spend time with you, to comfort you silently, or to give advice that we hardly ever heed.
I did a lil testing, and based on their responses, i think i have really few.... and oh man i'm scared. Proves i haven't been treating my friends nicely....
Therefore, I sincerely apologise to whoever is unhappy with me, or is annoyed with me, and i urge you. If there is something about me pissing you off, please share, and i'll correct it. Don't bottle it in. it only brings about backstabbing. Let it out!
It's the job of every good friend to notify their good friend's of their errors.
Right. Back to today.
I was woken up by someone calling me about.... the.... sun.... Haha ah well it was 11am, and time for me to wake up anyway, so THANKYOU!
Washed up, poured myself some triple chocolate crunch cereal, <---[ That stuff is the greatest] and did the most "got-life" and hip thing ever! played dota.... lol! at least i din hit the com first! i washed up and ate breakfast =P
I'll skip past the yada-yada of everyday life... Because too much words SUCK, and partly cos im lazy.... =)

WENTTOGRANDMA'SHOUSE at pasir ris, and had a smashing time with tetsu and ryo, my cousins... nothing much happened there... till we poped champaigne... apparently, the bottle was shaken, so yea... it was literally popping champaigned, with a bonus of champaign sprays... (un)fortunately, nobody got hit... aww but it was rather comical to see this lil kid koping a glass... to gay kiang, then giving it to his grand-dad after tasting the bitter stuff...
Then at 7.10pm, i left early to meet up with long cow, levin, prakky, matt, lemeul. long cow wanted to go shopping i think....
The journey there was quite ok i guess, if you don't mind being sandwiched between 2 stinky china men... one smelled of cigarettes, and the other had really bad breath, and he was constantly talking to his friend. Poor china man 3....
In the meeting, other than walking a thousand miles, pretty much nothing happened there as well... town was damn quiet...
Levin, prak and matt left early, long cow says in serangoon, lemmuel stays in tampines.
SO, i had a long train ride to yishun alone.
Bla bla bla
On the train, i saw this extremely obese yal** wearing a t-shirt, that said, "TOO HOT TO TOUCH"
Oh man.... have the fats gone to her head? pukanadan man! Thankfully i was passing her on the way to the rear carriage, and did not have to endure an eye excruciation on the way home.
It was nice and empty at first, but then, yea it got filled...
A lovey-dovey couple had to sit opposite me... damn them... made me emo... haha...
Being single is good! good! good! but yea... it does have its suckiness... then my phone had to coincidentally play those lovey dovey sweet sad sad songs..... why sia? Amplified lonliness x100
and, my third line of defence was crossed... who knows how much longer i can hold my mental fort? hahaha stupid stupid stupid...
Well it wasnt long till i reached yishun... took 806... saw 2 of my pri sch mates there...
bla bla....
[im tired! so im rushing!]
HOMESWEETHOME!
Got home, counted hong pao cash.... lets see... a total of $494! omg!
and it wasnt long till i was summoned to dota! alamak! we lost 2 games in a row! so pathetic!
then afer garry and kes went to orgh orgh, ben vic and i played lame games on bnet...
bla bla....
typed what you just read... SLEEP! GOOD NIGHT!

One of the most comforting verses in the Bible for a Christian is Hebrews 13:5:
"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
This verse tells you God is with you when everything is going great, which is the hardest time to remember Who made your success possible. You can cry out to Him in despair, which is the easiest time to remember Who can lift you out of your circumstances.
While reading this verse a few years ago, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the fact that our Lord is with us even when sin is conceived and then carried out. I cannot think of one area of my life that this experience did not have an effect on me. The result was not fear of condemnation, but a source of strength in times of weakness. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 we see: "And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness." This should tell us that when we are at our worst, that's the time to call on Him, because that's when He's at His best. Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Jesus Christ is our intercessor. "God is the one who justifies; who is He that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is ever at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." (Romans 8:33-34) Who better to intercede than He who was tempted in all ways, but rose above it and walked in the Spirit and not in the flesh. We will all stumble, but l John 1:9 says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God the Father will do this because Jesus Christ shed His blood and paid our sin debt on the cross.
I can't help wondering how much sin would be stopped before it ever got started, if only we had these and other Scriptures ingrained in our mind. They tell us who Jesus Christ is, His character, what He wants for us, and what He can do for us, if we'll let Him.
Jesus said "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
