If you're wondering why i put that song up. Well that's my current song, not sure why i like it so much too, maybe its because of the lyrics? The words are just so meaningful to me. It makes feel so..how do you say? Its like everytime I play this song, I feel being embraced by God. its like His wings cover over me and protect me. Sometimes my emotions just get the better of me when I play the song. Not sure what reason though. Maybe its because of the presence of God? Its just so real, that you begin to think that life has finally a meaning, a purpose. A purpose to live for Him, a God-driven life.

Artist:
Delirious?
Album: World Service
Song: Majesty (Here I Am)
Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice
Chorus:
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty
Second Verse:
Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice
Your Love falls like the morning dew

Had this revelation when i was on the way home just now...
We men are just like the disciples on the boat. They had spent the night trying to catch some fishes, but no matter how hard they tried, no matter where they went, they just couldn't catch any. Bringing it to today's context, no matter how hard we try, no matter how wise or clever we are, we are still humans. We cannot acheive things with our own abilities. In order to do so, we must follow the way the disciples obeyed Jesus to throw your net on the RIGHT side of the boat. There's no other way then Jesus's way, the RIGHT way. Maybe its time to give everything, as in surrendering ALL to Him. Let Him be in the driver seat of your life.
Yeah, that's what came to me and i though i should share it. Anyway, yesterday had a fun time in marina south. Had the korean buffet with the NYP primers camp leaders. Really enjoyed myself there. It would had seemed that we have known each other for years, but in actual fact we only know each other for like few months. Would be good to have another outing like this.

Its been a difficult week for me. Was put to the test. Oh well, as they say: People are like teabags, you have to put them into hot water before you can know how strong they are. This was the almost the same scenario i experienced at least for this past week. And I am glad to say that, I managed to pass the test. Though the Lord had tested me, He has always given me more then enough love, joy, courage, endurance, patience to go through it. No doubt about that. Oh well, nothing really much to say since its really my own private stuff.
Well, not sure why I am here, maybe its because of I can't seem to concentrate on my work recently? And the pain on my right shoulder is just killing me. Argh!

Ronald Susilo lost!

To think all that talk about Singapore getting a medal? Come on, lets be realistic. Even if he had won, I wouldn't be all that proud, because the fact is that he's a PR. Don't get the wrong idea. But the fact that he was brought to Singapore to win something for us, just goes to show our 'desperateness' to win a medal. Talk about level-headedness. Maybe he will get fined by the SBA for poor results? haha...

Had this feeling on thursday. The feeling of rejection, feeling of disappointment. The presence of God has left me because I have sinned. No more love, no more peace, no more joy until my heart has fully repented of my wrong deeds. Need you here Lord!

Well, time to blog again. Not actually so, since I am supposed to be doing my work now. Yea, slacking, AGAIN! Why am I not in the least surprised? Guess a leopard can't change its spots. Anyway to begin:
Its been a hectic month, with the preperation and presentation of the SCLS choir for the grauduation ceremony and then the Primers' Orientation Camp at Sembawang Campsite. The camp was the first 'happening' BB camp I have ever been to. The first night we were actually playing games to almost 1am! Can you believe it? Had meetings after that, then slept at almost 3, and woke up at about 6.30. ZZZ! 3 hours of sleep!
Second day was fun. Had this 8 hour game called 'Operation Trinity'. Well, there were 3 games held con-currently at different places. The games though some were abit LAME, but were fun, since it actually promoted bonding within and between the teams. You could really see the bonding between everyone. After the games, some of them went to bath, whereas I took a short nap before it was time to practice our item for the campfire. Had dinner, then campfire was up next. Nothing much really, but some of the presentations were actually funny. Well, my team got 2nd place for the item presentation, got surprised when we heard our team names. After campfire, they actually continued their fun in the canteen where they were playing some games. Had this 'chicky' dance thingy. Haha! Was really fun seeing people do it. Decided to leave the place earlier to get a bath. Well, I think i better not complain about the toilets. So let's just leave it at that. After bathing, went to the level 4 corridor to play card games. They were actually playing the game call "Pig". Hahaha! Got sabotaged by the great and all scheming Jialing. Haha! Played till almost 3 then went to canteen to get some 'supper'. Talked abit, then decided to go back to the dorms to get some rest. 2 hours of sleep! Can't believe I culd still remain sane, or at least part of me still was. Had some talks on the last day. Nothing much, took pictures with the primers. Then went home. Kinda sad to go home because, I would be back facing reality. Homework! And loads of them!
Went to catch the fireworks on sunday, nothing much since my view was practically blocked and the fireworks display was kinda short. After that went to lao pa sat to have dinner or supper. Waited more than an hour to get our seats and food. When we were finally done, it was past 12 already. Had to hail cabs to send the girls home, and of course eby and I.
For the past week after the camp, I have really been suffering from post camp syndrome. Never had this before, since the other camps were as 'happening' as this one was. Don't know how long this will last, but I hope that my memories from the camp will always stay rooted in my heart. The freindships that were forged there wouldn't be forgotten.
NYP PRIMERS! YOU GUYS ROCK!

To gim ann:
hey, bro, its hard to make such a decision. I am not persuading you to not to quit SE altogether, ultimately, its still your choice afterall, not mine. Your instructors may be unreasonable, the people in SE may be unreasonable, the question is, are you going to follow suit by quitting SE? Being a leader in an organisation is a gift, a talent, its inborn and not created. A leader leads by example, like what I heard in the graduation ceremony, do not follow the path that others take, instead, create a path for youself, so that others can follow you. Are you willing to create the path for others to follow, or are you going to follow the path others took? If you wish to continue on the path that others took, then I as a friend will support your decision. But i would give you even more support if you wish to make your OWN path so that others can follow. Hopefully this small piece of advice can help you.

Today had the graduation ceremony performance. It was a job well done i guess since what we heard from the lecturers were nothing but praises. When they commented that we did well, all of us heaved a sigh of relief, at least knowing all our hardwork hasn't gone down the drain.
Before the performance, my heart got pierced twice, but on the way home, i felt so peaceful suddenly. It was if God was there to tell me, "Hey clement, I'm still here! No matter what, I'm ALWAYS here for you." The peace that i had cannot be described. It was if all of heaven had descended upon me at that time to comfort my heart and soul.
Anyway, i gotta go now. Got molecular genetics practical to do. Ciaoz!
