the Unforced Rhythm of Grace...

Due to what i have been through, be it high school, ITE, or NS..
the kingdom-building mentality has trained me loads, since the day i stepped
into HOPE. [which is 7years back~ man, long time yah?!] I thank HIM for the experience
i have gotten all these while...thanks everyone who brought and taught me through as well,
from JUN YAO [my first shpd] to KEY [current shpd], EC, DEWEN [my buddies], BK [my bro], MA & PA... even PRIS, EELEE, ZINC [ex-leaders] or YUENHAN, JOSH, ALVIN [sheeps] not forgetting my team-mates HOE, JOYCE, SHAR...my beloved Dk's Mighty Man crew hahaha.. JOSH, JOG, VAL, WANTING!
thanks for all~!! appreciate all of you in my life!!!
who i am is what you have done for me~ impacted me one way or another!
[i just enjoy thanking people!]

In High School, some of the things i learn is, how to deal with peer pressure and not to get into unhealthy relationships...be it joining the bengs & lians or BGR at the wrong time...time management between fun and studies..ministry...

For ITE, well, bout the same...just that discipline is more slack there...this stage is the second time i shaved botak! [before NS] = )

Then come NS, well, learned loads bout poilitics...this i really have to thank GOD for putting me where i was 2 years back. Most helpful learning phase of life so far.... [not to mention, i got my CLASS 3 DRIVING LICENSE at this stage too!!! hahahaha...]

Now its tertiary, aka, polytechnic life....well, back to school for sure! And.....it feels good la, especially after NS....2 years of GREENY COSTUMES...yukk... [no offence to those who loves green...] and ORDERS, and DUTIES, and......EXTRAS.....okok, back to school = fun! BUT,
sch work = suffering! Man, its madness~ my homework never ends...[was just sharing with my KEY for past few days....] in this course, its not like theory stuffs whereby you study your textbook and take the paper... but its about passion, inspiration, to design, to think, to produce work your lecturers expect it to be...if he doesn't, you either fail or you re-do everything.... unlike theories, you memorised it, you got it all down, its a sure pass....
i almost got a "5/100" for one of my modules....the whole class failed...only one pass, my friend got a "50/100".... so my MENTOR, ERIC, made us all re-do our assignment for that project topic.. so you see, in my course, like what ERIC said, "For a designer, if you got it, you got it. If not, forget it..." You see, it sounds harsh....but it is like that in the real world out there...
chinese say, "xian shi" ...meaning realistic. [did i get it right?]

The world sees results. Its very practical out there.

"Why would people hire you if they can get others to do what you can do? The company wants to see your x-factor, something you can do that others cant." said Eric.

Hmm... so i told myself this [before i enrolled into NP] my goal here is to excel.
i see sleepless nights ahead, work piling up non-stop, all sorts of fatigue, ahhh...~!
whatever it is, i am gonna do it~ He will see me through, i know that full well.

Worldliness. Another distraction here in school.
Naming the causes to distract you from the Maker...
[Friends, worldly fun, girls too...CCAs...]
You will get carried away if you are not careful.
Like for those who are single, its time to get a boyfriend/girlfriend...
[not only "oh, cos my friends or everyone else is having one." thing, but the age,
you will tell yourself, time to get one now. Or maybe you feel lonely, you want a companion.
Deprived? All these...once you're not on guard, "BANG!", into the devil's trap..]

*time to study, my friend, and serve HIM well~ No time to entertain these things....
and they might not be wrong things, eg. BGR [its for marriage, not a feeling thing] or friends..

*conclusion is this, if anything starts drawing you away from God,
you better stop and check your heart...then ask yourself, "What is it that is distracting me?"
