Lord hear our cry,
Come hear our land.
Breathe life into those dry and thirsty souls.
Lord hear our cry,
Forgive our sins,
As we call on your name
Would you make this place for your glory to dwell
Open the blind eyes. Unlock the deaf ears.
Come to your people
As we draw near.
Hear us from heaven.
Touch our generation.
We are your people,
Crying out in desperation.
Oh i am officially ill. Exhaustion and illness do not make a good combination to study. Sorry, i've let you down once again (again i stress). If only i do not dwell in a life of temptations. Regretfulness. Randomness of thoughts. Decided to let go of the things that make me no different from what he is. Not that he is any worst than i am. But i cant live my life knowing that I am wrong and continue to do wrong. Its not my actions that are wrong but more of the motive and the agenda. Disgusting, revolting to the bone. I apologise to that person even though i guess it wasnt obvious. But this few weeks even though i have burried myself in my work, I couldnt sleep in peace. I never realised how wrong i am, and i never prayed over something for such a long period of time. Guess i can never run away from God, should have known that from the start.
Anyway, hello nicole. Thanks of tagging (: Good luck for you EOYs and please study hard, dont end up like me and leave all the mugging for sec4. Im pummeled left and right up and down. Its really really hard to revise everything in such a short period of time. And maybe you should try to practise past year papers. It really helps when the exams are nearing, keeps you focussed on whats revelant and whats not revelant. Oh and really work on your weak science. It will come back and haunt you next year. Many people i know are like so stressed because of their weaker science. And keep up the good work and if you're ever feeling down remember - In the end, it will be okay. If its not okay, its not the end. Hah, or if you want my most comforting quote -As the evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.
And enough ah, zhao and harry. what ladies night. Khoo la, he some secretive fella. read our blogs never tag! Oh that reminds me, hello to you charlene. Hah, your blog template ugly, period. I'll drop a tag next time i visit. And study hard. (:

Todays insight and review was really quite interesting. First the starvation that has long stricken the lands of Africa. Even though the aid from the US is trickling in the poor nations of Niger, Zimbabwe, Ethopia, Mauritania and many other countries that are suffering from the droughts, locust swarms coupled with the lean harvest have rendered them helpless. Then the exploration into the ineffiency of the US aid programme. Then the next interesting article was the re-introduction of New Economic Policy (NEP) which discussed the rationale behind the implementation a old policy which sole purpose was to close the gap between wealthy Chinese and the 50% of malays below the line of poverty. I learnt a new phrase - abject poverty. First time i read the newspaper with a dictionary beside me. Okay dictionary aside, another arguement was that which the malays have benefitted from the NEP and have climbed up the ladder of success, why arent they relinquishing their "right" of priviledges that they recieve undeserving. Like the 8-9% discount they get for buying a premium condominum for a "cool" 1 million rupiah.
Okay next, another article about the iniquities of the car company, Proton. The not so recent blowup a month back i think. And now we have an article that tells us about the poor export numbers of Proton and it reveals the failings of the 20-year protection of the Malaysian goverment by posing high tariffs on foreign car companies. Then came the article on Mr Shanon which drew me back to the article in the World section where it featured a picture of a woman who was clutching her baby. quite touching. Hah, but after that i decided to fold the papers and head to my tv! Soccer. okay done. anyway, VS all the way.

Applaud the centrist victorians. They have kept a cool head and assessed the issue objectively. But wait hold that thought. Didnt we just hear that everyone's bias? We only have a 180degree view of whats ahead of us. So why dont we focus on the issue at hand. Like what we've read "
the crux of the issue is how to keep VS sustainable academically." Now is the time to show that Victorians do not just "blindly believe", are not "self deluded", " misguided Maoists " and "myopic, baseless and highly subjective" people. Live up to your potential, put away your complaints of "useless" teachers. Too long have we been drowned in our criticisms of people.
Remember.
We do not return to you, mother,Because we never really left.

eh why do you get stressed when you come to my blog?! Its only for a short period of time till O levels end and i unleashed the playfulness in me. hah, actually i only have a few goals after o levels. 1st - pick up guitar ( not literally), 2nd - learn how to knit ( dead serious. period ), 3rd - if i have to time i'd like to learn tennis. The other ambitions i have is obviously to get into VJ and win a championship finally :)
Nicol, Nicol where did you get my link from?! hah, soccer is fun and exciting. Who are your fierce opponents?! Anyway good that you are learning soccer in PE. that reminds me, once i was at Vj, half of the enormous field was filled with girls playing soccer. My goodness, so hilarious.
Yawn, sick today and i couldnt make the long and arduous journey to the school this morning. Anyway i have to finish up on some undone work. I was pretty busy these few days especially yesterday with the biterace. Anyway i feel a bit sore. Its hard to explain it. Its not a physical soreness. Something deeper i guess. Nevermind. Bye boys

You'll never know what you can achieve till you start trying.
Today was really a short day for me. The only successful lesson was khoo's lesson. wong's lessons really have run dry for me. I dont need to ask him for alot of help anymore. I just need more and more practise. Anyway i was talking to adrian lim. Nice guy and most importantly, approachable. I found out he used to teach my sister in tkgs and he thinks my sister is smart and that i have alot to live up to. Will continue to persevere and keep my head buried in these books. study study study. Practise, understand and apply. okay. to tell you the truth. 5th of august is supposed to be my last day of physics. I realised that it is impossible to UNDERSTAND everything in physics that can range from the radioactivity to the relationship between kinetic energy and work done. Im going to plan out a studying schedule for each day
EXAMPLE
Monday --> Amath and Chemistry
Tuesday --> Physics and Emath
Thursday -->Amath and Emath
Saturday --> Hist/SS and English
Sunday --> Physics and Hist/SS
I really need to follow it anyway. If not even though im planning, i'll fail. Failing to plan is planning to fail. Sounds mightily familiar.Right now, My studying is really disorganized. I bring EVERYTHING to school and i study till about 930, and i study what i feel like studying, not studying what i SHOULD be studying to makes sure i get a L1R5 of less than 10. Being successful in this, i wonder whether it will reap fruits of hard labour(Nil Sine Labore). Think of jafnie, shuxie, vincent. Combine their qualities and you get a searing light that will make any tom,dick,harry feel inspired. Today Khoo showed us this 2 books. They were drenched in hardwork and sprinkled excessively with that secret ingredient that most of us lack or we thought we had. Pride. I really want to redo my hist notes. I really feel inspired to go that extra mile not for khooky but more for myself. Its really time to wake up and realise that if you think you're hardworking, there's bound to be somone who could own you with his hands tied behind his back. Its like my source of motivation. To strive for excellence. Time to get some sleep and head to school tomorrow morning to hit the books.

mugging 6-8 hours a day is really tiring. hardly enough of sleep. but i can do it. My days evolve around my physics and amath. But i think its time to give the rein to the emath and hist. let them have a ride and i guess i'll be more familiar with the work.time to go sleep. my underwear seems to be getting tighter and tighter. horrible.

OH MY. My underwear is getting too tight around the waist. Very uncomfortable. This is a testimony to my unusually fat stomach which has been expanding. you can go use calculus to calculate the delta-v change in the volume of my weight. disgusting.
