Wahahaha... Today i actually went to school to mug! Nothing went into my head though... Sad lah... Felt like i wasted time! Right... In any case, today was rather eventful.
I had to travel all the way down to Boon Lay! That's from one end of Singapore to the other end! 55mins worth of travel time! Wow... Imagine if i study at NTU, about 2hr of travel time per day, through and fro... Go school on the average of 300days per year... 600hrs worth of travel time! Say i take 50hours to fully complete 1 game... I can complete up to 12 games per year! Haha... If i really study at NTU, i'll definately get a PSP or a Nitendo DS.
I talked a lot today, nothing unusual about that. Had to go to NTU to swim for this charity event... The swimming distance was... 3km... Thats 60 laps. Took me about an hour to finish it... But i got a medal and a t-shirt! Nothing to boast about but... Its kinda like my 1st medal... Never got one before. Hopefully its not my last. xD
And i got a goodie bag from the swim! There was a bottle of Skippy Peanut Butter in it. Cool eh? Imagine this, "Skippy Peanut Butter, may contain peanut." It wasn't on the label, i made that one up. The name of the food thingy already says peanut butter so i guess its kinda duh right? Thought it was funny...
After the swim, the team went down to Jurong Point for dinner. I bought this really cool Hotpan Beef for 5 bucks and guess what. There were cockroaches! I think the roaches didn't crawl into my food, coz i'm still here typing this blog after all... Haha... Nothing more to type though. I shall sign off here then. xD

During the encounter, whenever it was prayer time, i'd concentrate on what the sessions were about and think about which area of my life it refers to. Then it struck me that i already know what was being taught in the sessions but i have failed to applied it. But i felt the arms of God wrap around me, comforting me. He forgave me and told me that i should start applying it. His grace is so rea,l and it gave me a feeling that is so overwhelming that i started to tear in my eye.
Near the end of the encounter when we burnt that sheet of paper with our strongholds listed in it, i could feel a sense of released! And i tell you, that feeling is just so special! It makes me wanna share with others how they can feel released from their past wrongdoings instead of living in a life full of sorrow and regret.
During the session when pastor Jeremy talked about multiplying, i thought about the salvation of my school. And suddenly an image of the school parade square come to mind. There were many students there, and i think their hands were lifted up. And when i was thinking about the hall, i saw many students and teachers there! The long dormant feeling that to reach out to my schoolmates was stirred up again! I can't wait to get the others together and talk about this!
I also felt an urging to play a more active part in reaching out to people other then my schoolmates. People being those around me, in my neighbourhood and my famiy members. I had that feeling a long time ago but the feeling did not last. But some how i'm kind of convinced that this time this feeling is here to stay until i accomplished something. I think that's all i have... Till next time!

Wasn't able to blog on sunday... I missed my computer. =X
I went for morning service on sunday morning as usual, and it was great as usual. The shorter kids called me short again... Kids being those under 12. xD Fancy getting bullied by them huh? Straight after service i went for the encounter retreat. I was suppose to be Gabriel's companion. Companion being the guy that accompanies another guy that has never been to an encounter before. The teaching there was great! Even though i went to an encounter 2 years go, i'm glad i accompanied Gabriel.
During this encounter retreat i felt something that i never felt after a very long period of time... I can't seem to find the right words to describe the feeling. Its this nice overwhelming sense that you get... Like when you do something bad and someone gives you a hug and comforts you.
And guess what. I totally forgot i had a Knowledge and Inquiry test TODAY! I was prepared to stay overnight in church on sunday when i suddenly realised that i had a test today. I had to rush home late in the night! Costed me 12 bucks on taxi fare! In any case, i think the KI test was okay, but if i had a little more time, i would have done better. After the test i rushed back to the youth center. I met pastor Jeremy on the way in and he asked me, "How did you forget that you have a test?" And i replied, "I just did..."
I felt like a sotong! How can i forget my own test dates? After the whole encounter, i went back with the region 3/4 people and had dinner with them. After dinner, i tried to get some shoes for myself. What happened after that? I got back home and started typing.

Ars Arcanum... In latin, ars means skill or technique. So ars arcanum could mean arcane skill or arcane technique. I got the name Ars Arcanum from the game Kingdom Hearts. I love the that game very much and those of you who've seen my previous blog skin will notice that the blog skin used to have KH in it.
In the world of Kingdom Hearts, the hero, Sora, has a few techniques up his sleeves. This techniques range from flinging the keyblade at his enemies to rapidly bashing his enemies with his keyblade. Ars Arcanum is the technique that Sora uses to bash his enemies into oblivion. Personally it is my favourite technique and its really flashy! I really have no idea why i chose Ars Arcanum though... But what the heck. I like the name! So there you have it.

Phew! Just come back from a jog with Gabriel Ho! Talk about a night jog!
It was last Sunday when Annabella, Gabriel and I decided to jog every friday after net. For those who don't know, net is something like a cell group, i think. We had a slow jog for about 20mins then Annabella got tired because she hasn't jogged for a very long time. So we kinda walked a while. I also got to see the newer blocks in the neighbourhood! In those new blocks i saw tables and benches. There is NO tables before those blocks came around. But the bad thing is, there is no shelter over the tables. Bummer... Can't study there when its raining...
After we walked Annabella home, Gabriel and I took another jog. This time it was at a faster pace. Its really cool to run in a neighbourhood then those boring red tracks! After the jog we went to explore the newest blocks in punggol. Those blocks are so COOL!!!And we got to see lotsa froggies on the way there. Wonder where those frogs stay...
I'll do the explanation of my blog name in the next post~ See? I didn't forget!

I can't believe today passed so quickly! i mean... After all today is an off day for MJC. Who wants their off days to be short and boring? Haha... I did nothing but sleep and play today... Woke up at 9 then watch tv with my baby sister... Started playing with my PS2 when i got bored of the tv. Ooops
In case you are wonder what game i was playing, i was playing Ar Tonelico; Melodies of Elemia. Its a really cool game where you play a knight on a quest! Ah... Doesn't say much about the game coz lotsa RPGs are like that anyway... In any case, Ar Tonelico has cool graphics! Though its set in 2D, the art work is very good! But the 3D graphics could have been better. I think i gotta stop here or i'll be late for my meeting!
I'll blog about how i got my blog name the next time! That is provided i remember. xD

Right! I wonder how long has it been since i last blogged. Haha! Nothing much to blog about currently... But there is this one thing... Can i brag a bit here? xD
Those taking H2 Chemistry in MJ will remember that darn 2 parts common test we had a few days ago. And guess what? Dr Rahman returned the paper 2 days after the test! Is he efficient or is he efficient? He's a really great chemistry teacher. But that's not the point. The point is i kinda scored an A for that test. How often do i get A for chemistry?
In my secondary school days, i always get A for chemistry... But now, i get Ds and Es! Talk about a plunge in results! I guess i need to study more instead of play RPGs huh? =x
My darn back is aching... Wonder if it's because of yesterday's training... Oh well... I'm suppose to go swim tomorrow with Candice... But i feel kinda lazy... Haha! Come to think of it, i'm suppose to confirm what to meet for the swim! Kinda late... Oh well... More time for my PS2 then~
