i have a horrible essay to write on the GM food debate, im supposed to do research. and kor is too lazy to help me. bleagh. im getting tired. gonna sleep lah. byee.

-i'vebeenaskedtojoindebate.bwahaha-

jesus's blood never fails me.

how true. He's amazing lah seriously. im scraping through school, cant really take it cuz its so stress but im doing okay lah.

there must be more than this.

amen. indeed there is. sometimes we really just dont see the purpose in life, and why we're doing some things. like me. i honestly dunnoe wot im doing in school, and i dunnoe wot i wanna be when i grow up etc. i wanna just quit school and maybe spend my time doing something more puposeful. there must be more than this. that set me thinking. i mean, sometimes we just dont see God's whole plan for us. and its like, you never know wot He's gonna do next, cuz when He does it, and finally unleaashes His whole WONDERFULLY AMAZING plan, you'll be so shocked mannz. its just like ben said. there woz this guy, who was learning goegraphy and rice plantations and all. (which is wot im learning now) and when he grew up he became a missionary and went to help those people in africa etc to minister to them and also teach them new farming techniques and stuff. i mean like you'll never know wot He has in store for you lah. thanks nat fer sharing that. it helped me. =) God is good.

consuming fire.majesty

had worship practice today. the improved sound system is sooo much better than the old one. now EVERYone has their own monitors. except the drums. we still need to get one more. its sooo cool lah i have my OWN monitor. yeah. but we still need one more guitar stand. the other one's broken. owellz. the band's rather good, consisting of nat [the pros-test pro], 'veen [drummer crazy], josh [shifu] and me. im the only lousy one lah. yeah. the thing is, we only have one singer. ben. unless ivan's singing tmr lah. haha. but yeah. i think my lead is improving a teeny-weeny bit. still gotta get out some more mellow lead sounds, as well as work on my speed and improve on my creativity. owellz. but i like my "tripping" effect+mellow neck pickup sound. haha. i think the only good sounds i have are my lovegun, a really cool sounding "fat" distortion, as well as the "tripping". my "vibrato"'s cool too. haha. whatever lah jake. yeah.

i have flu. thanks again nat for praying fer me. =) yeah. horrible sore throat, bad nose, cough. sigh. and i have a pimple. came from the long hours of sailing where my face got REALLY oily. owellz.

she's so high

-mesmerised-

*dreams*

and i dont want d world to see me
cause i dont think that they'll understand
when everything's made to be broken
i just want you to know who i am.

blardee hell my bio textbook got stolen. dunnoe i just cursed but i did. mummy says i better find it again cause it costs big bucks. bleagh. like $40? i cant beilieve how these people rip you off. i mean like i can get a hard-cover SCARECROW book for that much lah. owellz.

like i've been saying so far. i HATE school. as in, i know i've kinda disliked school all my life, but sometimes its been really fun and all. but this time i really HATE it!!!! argh. ^#&*$^^%#$$. i mean like, wot sorta DEMENTED secondary school lets your darn students off at almost 1700 hours everyday? VS. sigh. then they give you self-study periods. sleeping periods we call them. i call them a waste of time. the only good they do is to complete uncompleted homework, especially if the teacher wants it by that day. but then, wot's the reason the homework is uncompleted??!? cause they let you of so freaking late, such that you have to jostle on the bus since its peak hour, by the time you get home the exhaustion of spending around 10 hours studying in school hits you so hard that you fall asleep after eating and bathing. only then are you unable to complete your homework. the sheer stupidity of the dumb guy who came up with this idea. sigh. dunnoe why im getting so worked up over this though. i think i wont care anymore. sigh. dumb victorian council. sigh.

tests, homework. stressing me out? no! everything's rather easy. yeah. except maybe math, which i have to practice more on. something farnie happened yesterday. my class got back our test results. when d teacher read out the marks, ALL of the singaporeans got like 3,4,5 out of 10. ALL of the PRC shcholars got FULL marks. i wont say anymore. bwahahaha.

oh hello is so cool lah. k i'll go play wif it now byee!!!

-fly!!!!-

i wont leave
i cant hide
i cannot breathe
until you're resting here wimmie... ...

life seems funny nowadays. i mean like its just school, den slack around during the weekends, study fer tests, school again. its getting really mundane. but one thing that'll continue forever and ever is our relationship wif God. yeap. i wonder wot He has in store fer me. yeah. sometimes i wonder why he does stuff, wot He's planning and all. owellz.

happy beloved burfday sam!!!! cheers bro.

thanks to the malay uncle in the operations booth of NSC for wasting almost ONE hour of my training time.

thanks to the friggin' tiller which olwez gets stuck.

thanks to the darned gust which suddenly hit, causing my fren to crash me and make me capsize when i woz in FIRST position.

thanks to the darned moon which had to be not strong at the moment, making low tide, so that when i capsized, the top of my mast hit the seabed, making my sail have mud.

thanks to the darned thin hiking straps to make my feet have bruises.

thanks to the trolley for being so shaky when im standing on it, making it hard to wash the mud off.

thanks to the blardee, friggin' IDIOT who dared to steal my school belt. you'll regret it one day for all your sins. its bad enough stealing my belt, u had to steal my fren's too. wad sort of demented freak are you who'd want TWO VS belts??!? crap you.

but noe wot? i DONT care. im gonna stay happy, jus go away satan if you're trying to make me sad/depressed/pissed/spoil my mood, cuz its not gonna work. haha LOSER!!!! heard that satan? you're a LOSER. so go away, and stay away from all my frens, cuz if u DARE to touch them, i'll go after you, wif God by my side!!!! so jus screw off and leave us alone.

loveyou.jake

crap i jus accidentally peeled d scar off d wound on my shin; its bleeding now.... mite dirty my long pants tmr. argh.

gotta go training tmr, but i dun feel lyk it. why? dun feel lyk killing my thighs, dun feel like working out, dun feel lyk seeing how lousy i am nowadays. actually im not THAT lousy, but lousy enuf. maybe i should take weekend classes. but i dunnoe lah. it'll waste my weekend away. sigh. so i've gotta prioritise-sailing?church?slack? haha. i'll prolly mix both, which means i wont excel that much anymore, unless i get some super pro coach or smth. yupyupyup.

power up sail.squeeze the power.ease sail a bit,point tiller slowly.dont brake the boat.sheet in and hike out.heel as much as possible,keep the power on the sail.cross the other side,flatten boat and power up once more.

-how to roll tack. hopefully i can still do it. owellz. aiya. i've realised that sailing is lyk VERY important now. how else am i gonna get into VJ? korkor woz so clever and only got 11 after moderation. its not as if i can top that lah. d VJ sailing teacher said he'd reserve a spot in VJ fer me as long as i continue to excel in sailing, and dun get too louzee fer o-levels. so blessed right? haha thank you Lord!!!! but it'll all go to waste if i dun do well in sailing, so i gotta work hard.... yupyupyup.

the prefects in my school nowadays are getting really crazy, dumb, and dumb. yup. they're standing near the staircases up to class, and are doing random spot checks on EVERY victorian walking past after recess to get to class. so dumb lah. i got checked TWICE ever since they started two days ago. so lame lah. check phone, check whether u bring food and drinks up to class, check attire. sigh. lame lah. im getting fat. im now 48kg. im supposed to be 169 but d darn teacher wrote 165. hearing problem. owellz. short den short lah. only prob'll be if u get too tall a gf. but den again, God'll give u d right person who'll be PERFECT, so i dun really care lah. haha. even if i keep telling my talltalltall frens dat if you're too tall, you'd have to bend down ALOT to kiss your gurlfriend. haha. woteva lah jake. i realise that by this year's NAPFA, i'll still be 14, so i can do inclined pull-ups!!!! haha. so lame lah. but i'd rather do d real pull-ups, but it dusen really matter to me cuz i can get A SUPER EASILY for both. its like, 30 for inclined and 7 for normal? haha so easy. but cannot be complacent. and my deltoids have weakened significantly, so i'd better start training again jus in case. =)

i've got a goal. im gonna master the "one day remains" solo by mark tremonti. its really easy, only sounds chim cuz it a bit fast, and does lotsa hammer-ons. it'll be a nice addition to the stuff i can play, and'll also add as a stepping stone to my climb to pro-ness for guitar. jus that that climb is gonna be a LOOONG one. owellz. all d best jake.

AND to add that josh and i figured a really cool lick for this song. haha. its really versatile, can do LOTS of stuff with this song lah. kinda screwed up today; king of majesty was WAY too fast. owellz. nvm lah. and we played it one key lower; and i kept forgetting so i kept playing my chords and licks in the normal key, realising my mistake, and changing back. owellz. but i tink my lead's improving bit by bit, and im proud of myself.... yupyupyup. and i got a few nice effects for lead too.... yeah. nice lah. but i've still got a LOONG way to go.... yup.

i.dont.know.but.its.making.me.nervous.and.sweaty
