Finally back from penang! But not for long though, will be flying off to Hong Kong tomorrow!!! Haha! I am definitely enjoying life to the max! But kinda tired now, was on the train back home from Plaza Singapura just now and almost missed my stop at yishun. Haha!
Anyway, reached singapore in the morning just now, came back home to freshen up myself before going down to church for the 2nd morning service.
Well, what more can I say about the penang trip? It was so enriching and yet fun at the same time! Really enjoyed myself throughout my whole time there with the BB boys from malaysia and with the people from our side. Gosh! Didn't know it was gonna be this fun! Wished the duration for the trip would lengthen! Anyway, kinda tired to really go through the details of the trip there. Just for your info if you wanna know, our lodging was something like a chalet kind of style. 3 air-conditioned rooms with open-aired kitchen, dining and living room and with a balcony that overlooks the sea! It was great to have such a wonderful place to stay in. The gentle breeze carrying the waves inland, and everytime the waves would hit the shore, you would feel like it was some kind of magic that lightens up your day. Gosh! It sure was wonderful! And not forgetting the food there! My oh my! You really got to go there one there to have a taste of the food. Sedap! Haha!
The people there are real friendly too. And what's more, the city itself or at least the places where I have been are actually quite well cleaned, that was something that surprised me though. Haha! Anyway, if you would want me to recommend a place to have a vacation in Malaysia, go to penang - the pearl of the orient. LOL!
Anyway, I better get going soon. Need to wake up early tomorrow, taking the morning flight down to HK. Pray for journey mercy for me!
Oh yah and I realised that I forgot to tell you guys my results?
MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY - C
INTRODUCTION TO IMMUNOLOGY - C

Yay! I am going penang later at 10pm. Heehee! So happy! Yeah, better blog before I leave before some people complain to me that I didn't update. Oh well. Anyway, haven't really been doing anything the past few days. Was waiting for the LEAP trip to come by only. I don't know if I made the right decision in going because i have to bring my FULL UNIFORM!!! Crap! Anyway, I really hope I won't regret this. Haha! Anyway, I just knew that my results would be out this thursday! Great! NYP is gonna message me my results when I am in penang early morning 25th Nov. And I am expecting the first word from my mouth is:
SHIT! Haha! Better pray hard for the results! Only a miracle can save me! So pray for me for a miracle to happen!!! LOL!
Anyway, yesterday at CG, pamela was saying that whenever she reads our blogs, she feels sad and disheartened, because she sees our lives so messed up by the things of this world, our mind is so distracted by other things. Then it dawned on me that am I really distracted by the things of this world and am forsaking the work and word of the Lord? Well, I believe the answer was a big resounding YES! Before the exams, prayed daily, without fail, especially the week before and during the exam. You could see me praying so fervently to the Lord. But after the exams, kinda slacken in my daily work with the Lord. Its like telling God: 'Eh..Thanks for everything you have done for me! But currently I need to put you on hold first because I got something more important to do'
Like HELLO??? Clement! Is this what you are going to do after everything that the Lord has done for you? You know that without God, you are actually really a nobody? Its because He has made you significant in the eyes of the people, that's why you are where you are today! And you can't change the fact that you can't do anything without Him! Well, pamela did say talk is cheap. Very cheap in fact. Without actions, your talk is all just hot air! But Lord! How?? How can I live such a righteous life? I am imperfect!
I really hope that during LEAP trip, I can maybe draw closer to the Lord again. Be where He wants me to be. Be what He wants to be!
Anyway, people pray for me when I am in penang. Even pray for jounrey mercy there and back. And pray for my results!!! Haha! Keep me and the whole group in your prayers also! Bye ppl! Will blog soon!

The house electricity was out almost the whole day. They were replacing the meter board outside. So had to take shelter at my aunt's place. Was watching VCD's in the morning then playing maple story in the afternoon. Kinda boring day for me.
The game didn't really had anything impressive. No 'WOW' factor, no wonder joseph was saying that it's a boring game. Which was true, got very bored just trying to level the character to level 10.
Came home after my character finally reached level 10, and to my surprise, my youngest sis bought me Mr Incredible toy from MacDonalds. Haha. Kinda cheapo, but come on, she's a kid! Besides, the toy looks kinda nice too, it is my new handphone holder. Haha. But the thing is that it just can't stand straight up. Haha. But at least the thought counts.
Another hour plus before maple story game finishes downloading on my computer. Crap. And I can't wait for slyvester to get voted out! That super act cute, can't sing, ah beng.

Its been a long time since I last blogged. Almost 2 weeks already. Guess you guys out there must be wondering what has been going on in my life. Haha.
Anyway, after the exams, was so relieved that it was over! I thought I couldn't pull through everything, but by God's strength and grace I managed to do so! Really thank God for it. Coz He taught me new things!
Just came back form the BB NYP Primers Camp just last sunday. What can I say? The camp was so fulfilling, so fun! Its the first camp that I took back so much experience, I almost really didn't want it to end. Not only that, the friends, the companions that were there made the camp even all the better. Even though I injured myself on the first day of the camp, I still totally enjoyed it. If only I can put all the things that I have learnt down here, I believe it would benefit you guys reading it too! Truely the experiences gained were just invaluable. We had this song that we sang to:
If We Hold On Together Lyrics
Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
Singing this song, with our hands embracing each other and viewing the photos created such a wonderful atmosphere beyong comprehension. It was as if there was a divine intervention to keep us growing together as one whole big
FAMILY. Really wish the camp could continue. Oh well, anyway I really had fun. Next week will be going on a trip to penang for BB LEAP. Some sort of exchange program. Hope I will have fun too.
PRIMERS' YOU GUYS ROCK MY WORLD!!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Worship on the Go
by
John Fischer
God doesn't desire more of our time sometimes; He desires more of ourattention all the time.Ever feel frustrated because you hear messages about getting closer toGod and you definitely desire this for yourself, but you are inundatedwith so much to do already that this only makes you feel guiltybecause you are too busy for God?
I think we all feel this at one time or another.Some of you may need to carve some time out of your busy schedule formore specific time to be with God, but that isn't necessarily the onlyanswer to this question.
Look at the following scriptures:
I have set the Lord always before me. Psalm 16:8 NIV
My eyes are ever on the Lord. Psalms 25:15 NIV
I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be onmy lips. Psalm 34:1 NIV
Reading these words makes you wonder if these are the words of a monkwho had nothing else to do but devote himself to God. Actually, theyare the words of David, King of Israel, a great ruler and warrior.How did he manage to run a nation and keep his eyes on the Lord at alltimes? The only conclusion is that he did this while he did everything else.
It's a continual awareness of God that we aretalking about here, not necessarily more time devoted to spiritualpursuits.
I once saw a sign that read: "Your God is what you pay attention to."
You see, I believe you can pay attention to God while you are doing everything else. It's all about doing everything for God and seeingGod in everything we do. It's about bringing God into the boardroom,the exercise room, the living room, and the
bedroom.
Now of course, He's already in all these places but we're talking about being awareof His being there at all times. That's what it means to set the Lordalways before us.
Worship is a frame of mind that always has God in the picture. Wedon't need church, or Bible study, or devotions to remind us about theLord if we're already aware of Him all the time. These opportunities then become more precious to us because we can devote all ourattention to that which we have been aware of all along.

Ok, I am so hating myself for taking that short nap last night. Coz when I woke up it was almost 5 in the morning! Crap! So I went back to sleep only to wake up again at 8.30 and that was only much fighting with myself then I had decided to wake up. Great! And now I am like glued to this computer of mine and am unwilling to leave it alone. The thing now is that I HAVE NOT STARTED STUDYING for my exam at 4.30pm! Crap!!! And there's alot to cover right now. I am just this close to pushing the panic button. Great! Before I go further I better get back to studying before I get screwed in the exam later.

I am like really really really really sick of studying right now. The whole world(besides those with A's; O's and those on the same boat as me) is like having their pathetic holidays now and here I am slogging my way through 6 papers! Can you like believe it? 6 full papers! All 2 hours each! The amount of information needed to be digested is >the amount need to study for A's! Ok, kinda exaggerated abit here, but its almost similar. I have like to understand every thing in like 4-5 months and then able to apply them in the exam papers. So how fair is that? Besides, the temptation to start computer to play games is so overwhelming that you just start getting distracted by it. Crap! Really should have taken business course or soemthing like that. Quite slack but something that I can like and do.
Had bioinformatics paper today. Truth be told, I didn't exactly studied for it. As in not like not studying it at all, but the problem is that whatever I had read, nothing went in. Like some sort of mental block. Went into the exam room smoking my way through the paper. Tried to do whatever I could do, but this module ain't my cup of tea. Don't really appreciate the module itself. Like what's there to study on molecular modelling? Docking sites? Ligand binding sites? Crap! Anyway, I better get back to studying before I start regretting tml afternoon after my paper. Pray for me people!

Ok. This is crap! Was suppose to wake up at 10pm to study. Was suppose to only sleep 1 hour!!! But instead I slept like 6 hours??? Gosh! Then now I have to start studying when the whole world is like lost in their own dreams! Argh! Fortunately I woke up. If not I would have been dead meat by tml afternoon. Well, at least this does shows how immunology can really make a person tired. Argh! Better get back to studying!
