Ah, the memories of surviving Pulau Ubin and Changi Beach. Few of the many memories I've had here in 2008.
Yes, it's been some time since my last update, but I might as well confess something - This blog's seriously in a coma. I mean, sure it's not updating as often as it would a year and a half ago, but I guess that's just the sacrifice for my busier schedules. My commitments are expected to grow stronger next year, and I can already smell the gists of the broth back here in late November. If the waves are starting to flood the decks, some things' gotta give.
Not saying that this blog has no meaning to me. (Being a guy who likes to archive memories so much until his 'memory box' is already bursting, this blog is the most practical solution to getting my views of the many special moments in my life at the time itself.) But then again, what's the point of archiving your life to strict accuracy if you don't have a life to live in the first place?
So my compromise? Termly updates, I guess. I'll just do whatever I do normally, and after every three to four months I'll just update whatever I can, like a set of minutes. And if there's something really special or if I still feel I need more events to fill up my 'report', I can always intercept or delay the rotation as I please. A bit like what I've already been doing for the past year really, just that it's an official plan with a proper layout.
So don't drop by everyday just to check for an update. (I can see from my cBox that everyone's already got the idea.) Now with that's cleared, let's see what I've been up to from the time of my last update to today...
For canoeing, I raced again this year in the Round Ubin Race! Ended up 5th this year, though. See, Ting Wei and I were expecting rough waves like last year, so the strategy was that we wouldn't get spray covers and just endure the entire course while trying to get a good lead till Chek Jawa, where we would encounter the really big waves and capsize. Once we recover on a nearby shore, we would have rested enough to go for a hard burst all the way to the finishing line in hopes to beating whoever's in front of us.
But the waters were calm this year, so without a wave to capsize us, we had no reason to rest and had to paddle the whole 22km non-stop (with water spashing into our boat). Joseph and Barnabas were somewhere behind us (like last year), but lost a lot of time when they didn't turn at the buoy marking the start of Chek Jawa. Lucas and Zhihong had a rather smooth ride behind them, and since it was Lucas' first time there it was probably an adventure for him.
And news also came that due to the Youth Olympics coming in 2008, all involved sports will have their tryouts around the later half of 2009, forcing all competitions of such sports to be pushed forward to the earlier half. THis means that the Inter-schools will be held around March again, but also means that dragonboating may be around the same month. As such, timetrials will be held more often now so we can quickly form up the team.
I'll be running for K2 and K4! Yay, K4 is really fun! When I first rode one, Winston (who's already left the team to pursue Fencing, God bless him) was the frontman, so I wasn't so scared. But now with new crew possibilities, and me being a more experienced frontman (hehehe), I'll probably be condemned as frontman for therest of the year ahead.
I heard the rumour that if you turned the rudder of a K4 too fast or too far to a side the tiller rope will snap. SO when it was my turn to try out the frontman position, I was really scared and didn't dare make the sharp turns I'd recklessly do with StingRay or Boaz. But after a few training sessions of using the boat, I got over the fear (just need to get use to telling the other 3 people behind me I'm turning before I actually turn).
Ooo, and speaking of StingRay and Boaz, Ting Wei and I have decided we're through with StingRay (sorry girl, it's time you had someone else to take care of you. Such good memories...) and we're now aiming for one of the Advance Kayaks! Yes, we're going for Boaz! But now we have to fight against Nick Ng and Eugene for that boat, so we'll just have to see how it plays out. Worst comes to worst, we'll have to settle with Hybrid (which Ryan and Victor gave up to get Nelo).
Now onto Prefects, I'm now HR (Assembly) Councilor!!! Haha, the election process was a little scary at some parts, but it was still a good experience. The speech in front of the whole Yr 3 cohord will always be in my memory, as it was the first time in my life where I can honestly say I almost fainted (backstage can really be nerve-breaking). But by the grace of God, I managed to pull myself at the last minute and did my speech on stage! At the last part of my speech, I did a mimic of the "Yes, we can" thing Barack Obama did for his elections. Hehe, fancy I was elected into Council the same year he was elected into Presidency...
After that was the interview with Dr. Ong, which I must admit was the weirdest interview I had. For some of the questions asked, I ended up asking myself later on, "What does that have to do with me being in Council?" But I just answered whatever I could and before I knew it the interview was over.
And on the last Wednesday of school this year, it was confirmed not only that I made it to Council, but I got the position I ran for: HR (Assembly) Councilor! So now I have a key to the boardroom, a key for my HR cupboard, a 'Prefect Councilor' badge and the licence to move around during Assembly! (Haha, so cheap-trill...) I'm also invited to go for a Global Young Leaders Conference in Washington D.C. next year! But it's not being sponsored, so I'm washing my godmother's car every week to earn a little money to ease the payment a little.
But I also had my responsibilities: Since being elected, I've had to create my set of 'Standard Operating Proceedures - Assembly', run a HR duty (Sec 1 Registration Duty, the second HR duty I was in-charge of after National Day Celebrations), slug out an Adventure Camp (which for once, the councilors got tekaned as well) and plan out an EOY camp while on holiday in Japan (especially the HR games).
Whatever the case, I still praise the Lord for the opportunity to go through this. I have faith that God will somehow bless me through this experience, hopefully to help glorify His kingdom. (Can I hear a good amen?)
Ooo, and I need to talk about Japan! It was AWESOME!!! My second time there, but this time we went to Hokkaido! And do you know what that means? SNOW!!! Haha, yeah I saw snow for the first time in my life!! It was white, and fluffy, and soft, and it was nothing like the fake kind of snow you find in Korea where it's just small chucks of ice: It was real snow!!! And mind you, this was not suppose to happen; my mom wanted a 'white Christmas' this year, so she claimed the holiday through Christ. And after a bit of searching (and a couple of miracles) she finally got the tickets.
To be honest, I was a little edgy on the idea of going overseas this year. Next year being my last year in secondary life (let's face it, there's a little form of isolation between the yr 1-4s and the IB batch), I wanted to just dig head-first into my duties (in canoeng, prefects or acedemically) and get through this golden year, afterwhich I can spam on holidays for all the world could care about.
But I guess Japan was required to relax me a little bit. Yeah, I also learnt snowboarding there, so now I can do that and ski as well! Also met up with a few family frineds, so we decided to have Christmas Eve Dinner with them (had the honour of saying grace, too). And somehow, I also met up with Joel Yap on Christmas Evening! Haha, he was apparently with a few family friends as well, and we so happened to have dinner at the same pizza house in that nice snowy night.
But when we were heading home, a heavy snow storm struck Hokkaido and as such our flight home had to be cancelled. Mom was praising the lord, cause she wanted to have more snow. Me, on the other hand, was coughing away in sickness, dissapointment and fear, as I didn't want to miss too much of EOY camp (esspecially since HR Games was under me, I absolutely could not miss that). Daddy was somewhere in-between: he was demanding the lady at the check-in desk for the best alternatives to get back to Singapore, but was thankful that we had more time to shop around for souviniers and delicacies we could give to our friends back home.
When we got to a hotel to last the night before our new flight the next morning, I quickly went to the internet service (500 yen for an hour) and checked out my emails to see how progress was doing for EOY Camp and other council matters. Also got a chance to get in contact with Clifton (Head Prefect '09!) through Google Talk and told him to tell the others I'd be a little late as I was caught in a snow storm (no surprise people kept teasing me with the phrase 'snow storm' when I got back).
Anyways, now that I'm back from both Japan and EOY Camp, I've lost my voice to a severe cough which is so bad, I cough everytime I talk. But in the name of Jesus, I'll be healed by the time school starts (which is when the first Fall-In proceeds!).
That raps it up for now, I guess. To one and all, a (late) merry Christmas and a(n early) blessed New Year 2009!!! Luke 7:50!!! God bless y'all!!!

Wait, He Know's Me?...
Just beams daylight away from the final battle. And it just had to be the one with the twist. Ah, well. Best for last.
Anyways, after revising and memorising as much as I could for tomorrow's paper, I decided to rest by brozing through YouTube. Didn't feel like looking at music videos, so I just typed in random keywords that popped into my head.
*ehem* And now, here are the Top 5 Random Videos of the Day!:
No. 5
A mash-up of The Pussycat Dolls' 'When I Grow Up' and Cold Play's 'Viva la Vida'. Rather amusing how this person got two different genres (with obviously different emotions involved) to clash. I giggled at the first part, but I was surprized (in a good way) that the beats actually stays consistent throughout the video.
No. 4
The Queen's Guards doing a march-pass during her birthday. What amuses me the most is their 'L'-formations: I mean, instead of having the entire contingent rotate around a central position, or make it suddenly stop and then turn on the spot, these guys do it in an 'L'-shape. Amusing.
No. 3
Come on, it's funny. Well actually, this video was tied with this one:
And for those who don't get the spoof, here's the original video (which unfortunately did not win a position here):
No. 2
I salute this guy, seriously. I should try to do it too one of these days...
(Malgudi, Mal-Mal-Malgudi-Gudi, Boys take out you Mal-Mal-Malgudi)
No. 1
Yeah, please help me: I can cut down carbon emissions if you just let me! (For those who don't get the concept on how buying cork-sealed wine will help 'Miguel' save the environment, click here)
Mark 9:7!!! God bless y'all!!!

Generally Speaking...
*coughcough* ...dusty...
Ah. 'Ello. Woah, a term and a June Holiday since I last posted. Shows how much busier I've been these days (so those who intend to join IB, better be sure you can handle the heat; I've got Someone watching over me for protection, do you?).
Indeed many things happened throughout the time I was gone:
My 'B' Div Dragonboat got Bronze, just inching behind the 'B' Div seniors and Bukit Panjang Government High (by 0.03 seconds...).
Became a reserve in Inter-School canoeing (I blame Chinese 'B').
Raced and was defeated in Nationals.
Projects of many varieties filling up my diary, many of which my advantage of powerpoint cannot bloom in.
Did badly for Term 3 Art due to poor colouring.
And now, we're in Term 4.
But hey, those were just the bad highlights. Canoeing-wise, Ting Wei and I have been promoted with 2nd priority to the Boaz (that's a really good thing), and we're still paddling at around 11km/h in a Tiger so we're definitely qualified to race in this year's Round Ubin Race (I don't know about him, but that sounds good to me)!
The 'B' Division Crew (Canoeing)
Social-wise, I've been going to a decent amount of gatherings lately (and at interesting venues, too). Had a Canoeists' 'End-Of-Inter-School' celebration at Wild Wild Wet, where we had extreme fun (especially at the Tsunami Pool!) and when I had my first theatrical encounter with a horror movie, having watched The Strangers in mid-afternoon ("Don't worry guys, I heard it's a great comedy!" - Davin). Also had Prefects Dinner Nite at the Mandarin Hotel next to Suntec City, where we all (or at least the enthu ones) dressed up in a Retro theme to party with the music (and make fun of the seniors using random song titles).
Me struggling off the tao-pok on Marcus.
Culture-wise, I did something which I think should not be witnessed or attempted by the faint-hearted. Please skip a few pictures forward if you do not intend to view an interesting item in Philippine cuisine: the Balut.
Basically, balut (say: BAlot) is like the typical hard-boiled egg. With a twist. These duck egg already went through fertilization. That's right, the egg now has an embryo.
Don't worry, we won't encounter live ducks when we open the shell; you boil it first anyway, so it'll definitely be dead once served. Here's the batch of eggs my grandma brought all the way from the Philippines:
After a few minutes, the eggs are brought out and broken:
Yeah, what my mom's touching is the egg white and the egg yolk. By now the egg white's hardened to much to be eaten, so that's taken out, while the egg yolk is rather juicy and has developed a few veins to make circulation between the chick and the yolk better (you do know that the yolk is the food supply of the embryo, right?).
'Speaking of chick, where's the embryo?' Good question.
Yup, that's the thing on the piece of tissue paper. Now with a partially-developed head (complete with eyes and beak), that's the main highlight of the whole thing. The main nutrients come from this chunk of a meat (actually, I don't know if it's considered meat yet), and it's supposedly something every mom would like to give her sick child (yeah, possibly to scare the illness out of them).
Ooh, a closer look int the embryo...
Yeah, the good stuff. Ah, well. Here goes my first try on eating this stuff...
Mmm, tastes like chicken. (Seriously.) I mean, the little bt of soup in the egg tastes like a nice salty broth with exposure to the embryo, and the 'meat' is kinda chewy (although the beak was a little annoying to spit out).
Yeah, I went for a second round. The flavour stayed in my mouth till the next day, even after severe brushing... And don't you stare at me with those 'you-Filipinos-are-barbarians' kinda eyes: did you know that this stuff originated from China? (Oh great, I'm still part of that race, never mind...)
Academically, my grades weren't that bad actually. In fact, I feel confident that Term 4 will be at my favour (In Jesus name, AMEN!). Health-wise, I'm still in good racing condition based on my results in the school's Annual Cross-Country Run (And my house won!)
CKS House
(I'm part of the crouching people at the center, next to Marcus Teo, who's directly above the guy with the towel, front row 4th from right)
Against my original thinking, I also ended up running for Council in the Prefects, and now I made it to become Assembly TransCouncilor 2008!
That means I'm (for now) Hadrian's heir, who's coincidentally also a canoeist and art student. As Assembly, I had to make a whole new Morning Duty List, as well as be I/C of National Day Celebrations (which was a little embarrassing 'cause I accidentally signed off my emails as 'HR Trans' instead of 'Assembly Trans', sorry Mike)! And the most interesting thing is... I get to be one of the Chief Instructors for Prefects' Recruitment Camp 2008!!!
Haha, unfortunately there's more to Selection Camp than meets the average student's eye, so I can't really write about the camp (otherwise I'd be spamming this blogpost with tonnes of stories). But what I can say is that I had my fair share of adventure and yes, I was FIERCE! (Don't believe? Have a look...)
Yeah, but besides those 'tekan' moments, I was busy with the logistics of the camp. Very busy.
Anyways, if you want to see more pictures, go to Facebook and check the albums that I've been tagged in. Ah, which reminds me, I've also now got over 100 friends (Currently 135) in my Facebook account!
Ah well, wanted to do a Mikipedia post about my oldest hobby, (Multi-genre) Music Appreciation, but I still gotta revise for Chemistry (exams are just a couple of weeks away!). Miguel, signing out for now.(gosh, how'd I sign off again? oh yeah-) Jeremiah 33.3!!! God Bless Y'all!!!

Fizziques...
Oh my goodness.
Exams have begun rolling, and Language Arts and Human Societies were battles poorly fought on Day 1. And now being Day 2, which starts off with Student Council Investiture duty in place/intergration with Chapel, Physics was the deepest drop...
I heard from many that they also found it just as hard, but I'd rather put it aside for now. After the paper, I decided to go over to Zheng Wei's house to practice a little more on Advance Mathermatics. I'll just have to go by faith that things turn around tomorrow...
Anyway, this spoof is dedicated to those who found the paper rather short and tough, and only had 4 Minutes to finish up. (This one would sound a lot more lame 'cause most Madonna songs have very few lyrics these days. Ah, well. Techno...)

Picking Up The Fragments...
Nothing much today, just that now I have regulars who drop by my desk for a round of Quixo. Oh, and also that Jonathan Koh participated in a kareoke competition today! That one was a rather entertaining event as he sang 'Gotta Go My Own Way' by High School Musical; for those who don't understand the comical part here, this song was originally sung by an Altoe teenage girl! And he struct every note correctly!!! I'm not making fun of him, but I'm rather much impressed with his talent (my mouth was dangling for half of the performance). Good job, John Koh!!!
Well, since there's nothing much left to say, let's do a few quizes.

You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don't like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.
You like to be deeply involved in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others and protect their feelings.
You trust your gut instincts. You are easily inspired and trust that inspiration. You are very innovative. You analyse things by looking at the big picture. You are concerned about how what you do affects others. You worry about your actions and the future. You tend to use a lot of metaphors and are very descriptive and colourful in your choice of language.
You are very creative, and get bored easily if you don't get to express yourself. You like to learn new things. You don�t like the same old routine. You like to leave your options open.

She Shatters Chandeliers...
Wow, recieved my results for EOY Common Test. And I must say, the results were AMAZING!!! I truely praise the Lord for them!!!
Just to get straight to the point, I recieved a well and sturdy amount of points to get me promoted to pre-IB, and I guess that's all I need at the momment! Praise God for His blessings!!!
So just as much as I'd be celebrating with my family later on, I'd just post a music video I found recently. Yes, I'm aware it's the same song as those shampoo cemercials, but hey. The video's quite nice, or at least it's interesting for an artistic person like me. And the song itself? Hmm, I'd say it's worth listening to in my opinion. Good job, whoever the artist was (yes, I don't know who sung the song: how ironic :P)! Enjoy;

The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes

Now to remember to bring the Quixo set I promised to play with Zeng Rong... (I told him I'd bring it when it was all over, and told him that 'it ain't over till the fat lady sings'. But now that the scores are released, I guess bringign the game has to follow...)

What Time Is It...
At last.
It's all over.
The Final Common Test, is finally over.
Good, now we can all relax and enjoy the next 5 days of freedom to ourselves. But I must say, God was truely with me during the paper, if not truely with the lot of us! The papers were a lot more easier than expected, and I can confidently say I can make good grades for this test, most likely even heading my targets! Ah, well. It's now in the markers' hands, so the only thing I can pray for at the momment is that God would give favour to the markers. :P
Anyway, I doubt I can type out all I missed out for the past 2 or so weeks, so I'll just try to draw them out. (Hehe, a picture is worth a thousand words...) I'll try to upload as many as possible, see if you can guess what the events were (take note, I'm not good in drawing faces accurately, appologies...):
.JPG)
[3 more pictures to upload...]
Ah, well. Better get rested for tomorrow! Wouldn't want to miss my first Canoeing training in a month! Ah, I'll get to meet StingRay again! But wonder who's gonna be my new partner...
John 14:11-14!!! God bless y'all!!!

Church is the people of God...
Heh, visited Han Jie's Church yesterday. It was pretty cool and I'm greatly impressed with the fact that almost everyone in the cell group knows how to play about every instrument in a band! Very talented people really, and very social too! Jokes came very often once in a while, and I must say some even remind me of other people I know. For one thing, a guy named Marcus looked a whole lot like Ryan, but a lot less horse-like of course. :p
Anyway, gotta go study for the upcoming exams, so I'll just leave you with a quizcourtesyofLamentationsahaahaahayoucantblamemeforstealinganythingHA! Enjoy:
20 Questions

Jesus, telling me it's time to come back home and enjoy Paradise!
2. Your boss tells you he/she will give you a $20 raise if you'll do your job naked, do you stay and take the raise?
Nope. I treasure my privacy.
3. Put yourself in a nutshell.
Hmm, that's an odd quiz question.
4. Ever seen a ghost?
Nope, but I've felt the Holy Ghost run through me! It was a shiok feeling!
5. Happy with your body?
Muscles here, medium Asian-black hair there, hazel eyes and a few speckles of birthmarks on my arms. Yeah, I'm pretty satisfied with the way God created me!
6. A reason to move to iceland.
With all due respect, I'd prefer New Zeland. Yay, Queenstown!
7. A place you've lived you miss ?
I can't remember much about what it was like living back at Island View, so I don't think I can say I miss staying there, now can I?
8. A job you never do, no matter how much you were paid?
Anything against the ways of God.
9. a band/group you thought was cool when you were 13.
Hmm, a year ago, eh? Dunno, I forgot :P
10.you have a nightmare, who's the first person you think to call?
Jesus! He saves! Butn most of the time when I have nightmares, I usually realise it's just a dream a few minutes before I wake up. :S
11.wanna have kids before you're 30?
Depends on when I get married and how stable my income is.
12.a memory from high school.
Not applicable at the momment.
13.ever had a crush on a friend's parent?

15.something you've always wanted to learn to do.
Learn how to play the Saxaphone or the Guitar. Slowly giving up on the guitar, though :(
16.how you'd like your life to be in 10 years.
At the age of 24, eh? Successful in a good university, I guess.

18.what do you want for your birthday?

Get down...
1. where is your real dad right now?
Just left for work, dropping off Mom to work along the way.
2. name the last person you hung out with:
Hmm, the Believers', I guess.
3. name 5 things you did today:
Wake up, wash up, breakfast, holiday homework, chat on Msn. Should have asked during the later part of the day.
4. last person u text-msged?
My tution teacher, on post-poning my tution.
5. what kind of phone do u have?
Sony Ericson K610i (Thanks, Mom and Dad!)
6. what do u smell like?
Hmm... *sniffsniff*... Fragrance le Miguel?
7. what colour are your eyes?
Hazel! Mmm, hazelnut chocolate! Haha...
8. do u have a chair in your room?
Two, as a matter a fact. Need one?
9. what are u doing tmr?
Believers' Musical - 'Thief of Always'! :D
10. do u know someone named betsy?
Sorry, wrong number.
11. do u have a dog? breed? name?
Dog? I wanna cat! Say meow, y'all!
12. do u remember singing any songs as a kid?
Yep, the good ol' days when your voice box could reach almost any note within range of center C.
13. are u married?
Nope. Will reserve that for a decade or so from now.
14. do u play an instrument?
Recorder and piano: that's as far as I've learnt, and only a small number of songs each. But I'm interested in learning guitar or saxaphone!
15. do u like fire?
It has its funs here and there, I must admit. Like blowing a crater into the road of the carpark downstairs (Ooo, I'll remember that one for a long time...). But I'm still a water person! (Yay for ships!)
16. are u allergic to anything?
Used to be allergicto cement powder and and a certain species of grass. Now I'm healthy by the grace of God!
17. do u have a crush on anyone?
Not at the moment, no.
18. do u take science all 4 yrs of sch?
I'm still Sec 2, but yeah I'm still with the sciences. Having trouble with Life Sciences (Bio) though. :S
19. do u like butterflies?
They're beautiful for mostof the time, but I still love cats! Meow!
20. do u miss someone right now?
Yep, some people actually. Not badly, but more of just a momentary memory of the past. Good ol' 4C, I'll miss y'all. But hey, let's just look forward to another brand new day!
21. do u think they miss you too?
Some of them, maybe. If they could even remember me, at least.
22. ever seen your school counsellor?
Back in Nanyang, on a weekly basis. She and my mom were good friends, so whenever we met up during recess we'd have a small talk or so. Come to think of it, almost every teaching staff in my school knew my Mom. And why? Well, because they somehow each had a turn to be her partner during MOE teacher workshops, as I've heard. Even the principal knows her well. And that placed a little social pressure on me, but I guess I played the role of 'Mrs. Myra Lee's son' well enough.
23. have you ever wanted to be a teacher?
Nah, I've seen how stressed up Mom gets with her schedules and workload, and as much as I can handle stress relatively well, I think I'm not that suited with this kinda stress. And also seeing how students can hate teachers so badly, I'm not sure if I can endure that much hatriate. Being a teacher's son, I've seen what it looks like behind the staff room's doors and I must say I have a sense of respect for teachers. More specificly, the teachers that deserve the respect (I also agree that there are some teachers within the system that do not opperate well enough to deserve the status of 'teacher').
24. what is one thing u've learnt abt life?
God is good, all the time! And all the time, God is good!
25. what is your favourite colour??
Navy blue!!! *sailor salute*
26. is anyone jealous of u?
Not that I hear off. But if there's really anyone out there jealous of me, don't harm yourself. Jealousy destroys you deep inside; I've been through that and I'm thankful God saved me in the nick of time! If you wanna know how to get whatever I've got that you want, seek the Lord (He's got everything and more to spare of whatever He gave me, surely He'll give you the smae if you believe! :D)
27. what does ur mum call u?
Miggy (Most casual)
Miguelsito
Raemiguel
Raemiguel Lee Fusheng (Most dangerous)

Seriously, as a matter a fact, yes.
32. what have u eaten today?
Breakfast, Lunch.
33. is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Straight. Rather annoying once it reaches a certain length.
34. who was the lst person u drove with?
Family, from East Coast Park.
35. the song u've been singing most to urself recently?
When You Come Home. Like I said, I still can't get myself to stop tearing when Auntie Uli sings it: *sniff* it's... it's so touching... *sobsob*...
36. what do u currently want right now?
Now? Hmm,
1. To see as many people as possible get saved before He returns.
2. To get over with the exams as soon and as sucessfully as possible.

37. are u hungry? what would u like?
Ham and Cheese Creepe!!!
38. what is ur current annoyance?

39. are u waiting for someone right now?
Yep. For the management to complain to the renovators. XP
40. name one thing ur looking forward to this week:
The Believers' Musical - 'Thief of Always'!
41. can u make friends easily?
Honestly speaking, it's not that comfirmed. I'm a rather shy person, and find it painfully hard just to even go up to people who I highly respect and say, "Hi! Wanna go down and have a bite?" And yet, I find myself being asked the same question, of which I ussually accept and end up making friends in the process. Makes me sometimes wonder why they want me to go eat with them in the first place.
42. what would u do if your friend turned gay?
I'd tell him what the Lord says. He chose your sex, so live up to it already. And if you think you can't cope, remember God never gives a situation too tough for you to handle.
43. do u plan out what u wear the day before u wear it?
Sometimes, depending on the occasion.
44. have u ever fell for ur best friend?
Greatly respect my best friend, absolutely. God always provides enough love for friendships.
45. if u had a chance to save someone significant to u, would u?
If the Lord permits, yes.
46. how many times do u eat each day?
On a school day:
Breakfast
Recess
Lunch
Post-Training
Dinner
Supper
On a non-school day:
Breakfast
Snack Minor
Lunch
Desert
Snack Major
Dinner
Supper
47. how do u cheer someone up?
I just do whatever God tells me. If He tells me the que, I tell the person the verse He wants me to tell him or her, or I tell the person I'd be praying for him/her and would try to show how the situation isn't so bad. If He says nothing, I say nothing.
48. is it easier for u to fall asleep or be woken?
Fall asleep. Unless you use my Mom to wake me up.
49. think of one person, stick with it, you dont have to say the name, would u pick him/her up alone 100miles away even if it was ur birthday?
I guess, since I don't really celebrate my birthday (exception being this year).
50. have your best friends ever hurt your feelings?
There were the times. But nevertheless, they're still my best friends.
51. give two reasons why u get distracted in class:
1. Topic is too complicated, so I end up daydreaming.
2. Classroom too cold, so I fall asleep.
52. do u think its funny when ppl get hurt?
Nope. Pain is, well, a painful thing. I don't want to be the cause of someone else's un-necesary pain, even if it's towards someone who wronged me.
53. if u had to guess, how do u think ur gonna turn out in life?
With my life in God's hands, I can never be certain. But if you're asking how I'd pray for it to be, it'd go something like this;
NS was comparatively easy, physically thanks to Canoeing and phycologically thanks to Prefects.
Graduated in a nice university with a couple of degrees or so.
Met the perfect girl, (Size honestly don't matter for me: she can be as fat as Jupiter and I'll still love her. I'll only be looking for the bubbly character inside! :D {One thing I won't tolerate for physical features, though, would be if she's extremely skinny. Anything thinner than a model and I have doubts on their thermal survival.}).
Got the job of actor! Heh, played a few good roles. Remembered in the press as the kind and God-fearing man starring mostly in comedies but sometimes in dramas.
Family life's good! Had three kids; a daughter and two sons. Spending time together's rather easy, and once a fortnight we'd visit the grandparents at a meal somewhere worth the time! Hopefully, Mom and Dad loved the new house Choppy and I bought for them!
Christian life is very rewarding as well! Gone out for many ministry camps, helps sponser for them too, and I guess God has used me in a powerful way here. For the other small details, I think I've helped out many friends in need, and so've they for me.
At the ripe age of 55, bought myself a yatch. When my grandchildren came around, I'd sail them along the coast and teach them the art of the boat, and time after time I'd tell them stories of the great adventures God gave me back in the days when I was their age.
Died in my bed, got cremated, attendance of my cremation unknown but hopefully a great number. My urn placed in my eldest offspring's home, in loving memory of me.

Recorder and piano: that's as far as I've learnt, and only a small number of songs each. But I'm interested in learning guitar or saxaphone!

21. do u think they miss you too?
Some of them, maybe. If they could even remember me, at least.
22. ever seen your school counsellor?
Back in Nanyang, on a weekly basis. She and my mom were good friends, so whenever we met up during recess we'd have a small talk or so. Come to think of it, almost every teaching staff in my school knew my Mom. And why? Well, because they somehow each had a turn to be her partner during MOE teacher workshops, as I've heard. Even the principal knows her well. And that placed a little social pressure on me, but I guess I played the role of 'Mrs. Myra Lee's son' well enough.
23. have you ever wanted to be a teacher?
Nah, I've seen how stressed up Mom gets with her schedules and workload, and as much as I can handle stress relatively well, I think I'm not that suited with this kinda stress. And also seeing how students can hate teachers so badly, I'm not sure if I can endure that much hatriate. Being a teacher's son, I've seen what it looks like behind the staff room's doors and I must say I have a sense of respect for teachers. More specificly, the teachers that deserve the respect (I also agree that there are some teachers within the system that do not opperate well enough to deserve the status of 'teacher').
24. what is one thing u've learnt abt life?
God is good, all the time! And all the time, God is good!
25. what is your favourite colour??
Navy blue!!! *sailor salute*
26. is anyone jealous of u?
Not that I hear off. But if there's really anyone out there jealous of me, don't harm yourself. Jealousy destroys you deep inside; I've been through that and I'm thankful God saved me in the nick of time! If you wanna know how to get whatever I've got that you want, seek the Lord (He's got everything and more to spare of whatever He gave me, surely He'll give you the smae if you believe! :D)
27. what does ur mum call u?
Miggy (Most casual)
Miguelsito
Raemiguel
Raemiguel Lee Fusheng (Most dangerous)

Seriously, as a matter a fact, yes.
32. what have u eaten today?
Breakfast, Lunch.
33. is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Straight. Rather annoying once it reaches a certain length.
34. who was the lst person u drove with?
Family, from East Coast Park.
35. the song u've been singing most to urself recently?
When You Come Home. Like I said, I still can't get myself to stop tearing when Auntie Uli sings it: *sniff* it's... it's so touching... *sobsob*...
36. what do u currently want right now?
Now? Hmm,
1. To see as many people as possible get saved before He returns.
2. To get over with the exams as soon and as sucessfully as possible.
3. To be able to sing Ancient of Days in the right octave.
37. are u hungry? what would u like?

38. what is ur current annoyance?

39. are u waiting for someone right now?
Yep. For the management to complain to the renovators. XP
40. name one thing ur looking forward to this week:
The Believers' Musical - 'Thief of Always'!
41. can u make friends easily?
Honestly speaking, it's not that comfirmed. I'm a rather shy person, and find it painfully hard just to even go up to people who I highly respect and say, "Hi! Wanna go down and have a bite?" And yet, I find myself being asked the same question, of which I ussually accept and end up making friends in the process. Makes me sometimes wonder why they want me to go eat with them in the first place.
42. what would u do if your friend turned gay?
I'd tell him what the Lord says. He chose your sex, so live up to it already. And if you think you can't cope, remember God never gives a situation too tough for you to handle.
43. do u plan out what u wear the day before u wear it?
Sometimes, depending on the occasion.
44. have u ever fell for ur best friend?
Greatly respect my best friend, absolutely. God always provides enough love for friendships.
45. if u had a chance to save someone significant to u, would u?
If the Lord permits, yes.
46. how many times do u eat each day?
On a school day:
Breakfast
Recess
Lunch
Post-Training
Dinner
Supper
On a non-school day:
Breakfast
Snack Minor
Lunch
Desert
Snack Major
Dinner
Supper
47. how do u cheer someone up?
I just do whatever God tells me. If He tells me the que, I tell the person the verse He wants me to tell him or her, or I tell the person I'd be praying for him/her and would try to show how the situation isn't so bad. If He says nothing, I say nothing.
48. is it easier for u to fall asleep or be woken?
Fall asleep. Unless you use my Mom to wake me up.
49. think of one person, stick with it, you dont have to say the name, would u pick him/her up alone 100miles away even if it was ur birthday?
I guess, since I don't really celebrate my birthday (exception being this year).
50. have your best friends ever hurt your feelings?
There were the times. But nevertheless, they're still my best friends.
51. give two reasons why u get distracted in class:
1. Topic is too complicated, so I end up daydreaming.
2. Classroom too cold, so I fall asleep.
52. do u think its funny when ppl get hurt?
Nope. Pain is, well, a painful thing. I don't want to be the cause of someone else's un-necesary pain, even if it's towards someone who wronged me.
53. if u had to guess, how do u think ur gonna turn out in life?
With my life in God's hands, I can never be certain. But if you're asking how I'd pray for it to be, it'd go something like this;
NS was comparatively easy, physically thanks to Canoeing and phycologically thanks to Prefects.
Graduated in a nice university with a couple of degrees or so.
Met the perfect girl, (Size honestly don't matter for me: she can be as fat as Jupiter and I'll still love her. I'll only be looking for the bubbly character inside! :D {One thing I won't tolerate for physical features, though, would be if she's extremely skinny. Anything thinner than a model and I have doubts on their thermal survival.
Got the job of actor! Heh, played a few good roles. Remembered in the press as the kind and God-fearing man starring mostly in comedies but sometimes in dramas.
Family life's good! Had three kids; a daughter and two sons. Spending time together's rather easy, and once a fortnight we'd visit the grandparents at a meal somewhere worth the time! Hopefully, Mom and Dad loved the new house Choppy and I bought for them!

Died in my bed, got cremated, attendance of my cremation unknown but hopefully a great number. My urn placed in my eldest offspring's home, in loving memory of me.

When You Come Home...
Hey y'all!
Sorry about the mega-lag of posts. Was going through some spiritual warfare and had some things to settle in my walk with Christ. But I think I'm better now! Praise the Lord! Now my only worries at the momment would be a) finishing my holliday homework and b) doing the best I can to addapt to the Believers. But hey, with Christ in me ALL THINGS are possible!!!
Man, I've got LOTS to post about, like a couple of funny things God showed me, my times with the Believers, some mishaps at Canoeing, maybe a sad case within the point10ers, AND LOTS MORE!!! But since exams are around the corner (5 weeks is already counted as 'around the corner' at this age...), I can't promise that this blog would opperate properly just yet. In fact, I could predict another Hibernation Period coming soon. Yep, this thing's sure deter-rotating. [For those who don't get the joke, come to the upcoming Believers' musical - 'Thief of Always'! It'll be this Saturday and Sunday (8th and 9th September) at 7.45p.m. and 4.30p.m. respectively! Venue is Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' Secondary School (296 Lorong Ah Soo)'s Concert Hall, for those girl-minded people out there, and for those typical glop-till-you-drop Singaporeans, do come early as dinner WILL be provided! So come on down and get ministered by this touching drama this Sat or Sun (or both!) to watch Tim dance and me act like a waiter in a French Restaraunt! (I smell YouTube!...)]
So anyway, to make up for the missing posts (which I will somehpw try to get posted), here's a picture I drew up for you all:

A Sneak Preview...
Hey, I was bored-random today, so I decided to make these;
The Flag of the Dan Empire
The Flag of the Dan Empire
The Flag of the R.A.T.S. Empire
[also known as The Royal Standard of the Chairman (Dan Empire)]
The Flag of the Henry Park Boys Society (Dan Empire)
The Flag of the Rejects (Dan Empire)
Hey, maybe one of these days, we should propose to Mr. Tay for a Dan Day. Hmm, 2nd October 2007 seems like the right date (2-10-2007). Yet again, who's gonna be willing to march out in the open with these flags/'class'ical instruments/bamboo poles (swords/guns)?

Beep, Beep...
Re-directing your call. Please hold.
Beep, beep...
"Hey, there. Sorry to keep you waiting on the line, but apparently I can't attend to my blog at the momment. Reasons are probably because I'm either eating, sleeping, training, doing holiday homework, spending time with my family, reading a few verses in my Bible, listening to another sermon, researching on World War II or stitching a few more pieces of the Union Jack together for my group's history project. I'll be back sooner or later, so if you need anything just drop by my cBox and I'll try to give back a little tinkle, K?
"I told you this was going to hapen, but no-ooo-ooo. Everyone just haaad to...
"Shush! Go on...
"Thank you. Anyway, I'll be returning soon, so just keep holding, l'right? Chao, and God bless y'all!"
