Oh yes. Updating as per request.
Newest MSN Minesweeper scoreline:
CK - 1
Feli - 1
I finally won. About damn time already.
Long practice today. Must give credits to HC people. Bin Nam Ma improved a lot! The actions are all so nice, both in itself and when executed. Although their costumes leave quite a bit more to be expected. They also sang Sunset nicely. More confident, more steady and "flowy". Comparatively NJ sounded more hesitant and uncomfortable, more "choppy". But even though the Sops fell asleep in the middle of the Jap song, which I find quite impossible to believe considering the "gung-ho" nature of the song, overall, sound-wise, there's not much competition.
Yes, I am joining Hwa Chong Voices for their concert and performance tour as a guest singer, along with Chin Yaw and possible Edwin. NJ people reading this, please keep this information out of reach of the teachers. I just thought it would be nice to get into some real singing again. And I know a few of the year threes inside, so it's not exactly foreign territory. Anyway they are singing some nice songs too, like Bogoro, Tsubasa, Ba1 Jun1 Zan4, Marcia Corale, Penny Lane, Hey Jude, etc. I get a bit envious seeing that the HC alumni is so nicely established and stuff, while NJ alumni is just like crap. Hopefully that will change come end of year and we will have a healthy influx of year twos joining us for carolling and hopefully for next year's trip as well.
Let me see. What else to write about.
OH YES. Almost forgot.
Miss Felicia asked me to write about her.
Feli: ur blog.... nothing about today's choir prac..
CK: i havent updated today yet wat
Feli: yalah... quick go write
CK: WHY LEH
Feli: must write more about me
Feli: HAHAA
And so I SHALL.
Since she say I will write about her bad points, I shall prove her CORRECT. =D
Felicia is a very evil girl. I think, no, I KNOW she cheats at Minesweeper. There's like, no way she can keep winning against me. I'm like, super good at it and nobody else has ever beaten me in it except her, so she must be cheating. Like, probably using a hack to see all the mines. She also uses her braces as excuse, saying cannot eat solid food can only eat soft liquid food, as a reason not to eat breakfast with me, only to indulge in a posh dinner at Esplanade. And she is very critical of others around her, especially this poor fellow who happens to keep stepping on her toes. She likes to bitch about it non-stop, especially while playing Minesweeper with me [still cheating, mind], causing her to lag in the game. She also likes to play hard-to-get, always cooking up some excuses or other to turn me down when I ask her out.
Wah that's quite long already right? And I'm not even a quarter of the way through! Haha..
By the way, in case it's not already obvious, that was written in a sort of tongue-in-cheek manner, so don't take any of it seriously ok!
But she also have a lot of good points la ya. Like, she can tahan being bugged by me to play Minesweeper everytime I see her online. And she reads my blog [psst leave comment hor!]. And she updates me on her life, something which a lot of people aren't bothering to anymore, sad to say. Yep. You rock girl!
What is this. Half a post on her? You better feel honored =p
I just found out that my PRIMARY school choir mate is Honseng's platoon mate. What a small world after all.
Hmm.
Somewhere along the course of today [yesterday] I was suddenly impressed very strongly with a verse. I think it was, if I can recall correctly, while watching NJ practicing at one of HC's LTs. Couldn't remember which chapter off hand, but I've found it now.
"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." Job 1:21
What a powerful verse. It literally shocked me. I realise how foolish I was, to keep harbouring all the bitterness and negative thoughts, as if she owed it to me or I deserved it. Today I simultaneously witness and submit to the sovereignty of the Lord in this matter. He saw it fit to give to me by His grace, and for that I am thankful. It was all planned, for without her I wouldn't have know Him in the first place. I learnt a lot from her, about myself, what I am capable of doing and feeling, and about others as well. Now the Lord has taken away from me, and who am I to object? Nothing belongs to me in the first place anyway. I will accept His sovereignty; I will have faith in His future grace for me.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint me head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Lord, do Your work in me. Amen.
