#18 Rojak With A Teardrop
It's been a hectic week of July... Though its been darkened by jealousy, a severe lack of sleep, frustration and academic unproductivity, overall it's still a vibrant one! Went for membership class after playing tennis with some district people on Sunday, celebrated July Babies Birthdays at CrEation on Tuesday, gave Hsiaoen a B'daeee surprise during JCNEA Reunion BBQ, had interesting fellowship with some unit guys and Andre Chichak phoned me during the week! I really hope it's not a scam cause I apparently told a lot of people about it... And I would loook reallliiiii stupid if they found out it was a prank call and I got scameddd!! *Fingers Crossed REALLY HARD!!* =X ..Btw 'He' asked me where the Parliament House was located, the number of Merlions present in S'pore and the location of Singapore's first airport! =O Think I answered all wrongly la!! =(
Haha I just finished re-stringing Hsiaoen's guitar and apparently now's the interval before I get started on studying and preparing for Prayer Meet! Gonna share to the life group about Outreach and hopefully I will be able to urge them on to step out of their comfort zones just as Christ did for our sake! =) Praise The Lord!
Unfortunately as well, today's the day that an innocent young girl(about 6-7 years old) passed away after facing a near death experience when she drowned in the swimming pool next to my unit. Apparently, she was underwater for a couple of minutes before my dad heard someone shout for help. He tried his best to race over and dive into the pool to rescue her but when he pulled her up, she was already foaming from her mouth. The police and medics took over after that... And she ended her life marathon today...
You know sometimes we question God's intentions.. Why would he want to taint our lives with failures here and there? Setbacks and countless obstacles? Adding bits and pieces of teary nights? Throw in a little sorrow and suffering and wahlah! That's life for you! ... Why why why? Why would he also allow a young child to exit the world in such a manner?
Truthfully, I really feel that when we've fulfilled God's intentions here on Earth, he'll permit us to leave and join him in eternal paradise. But the weird thing is that.... We have no idea exactly when our time will come.. All we can do is give it our all for God and his people when we still have the opportunity. And Do not, I say again, Do not serve God with a soul of reluctance. Do it willingly like how Jesus Christ as ever so willingly stepped out of his comfort zone, Heaven, travelled all the way to Earth, took all the blows that sin has cost us up, down, left, right & centre. And then returned to sit at the right hand of the Father. Do it willingly like how Jesus did.
Galatians 6:9, 'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.' Let us serve in his Kingdom to the best of our ability.
Amen!

#16 ROCKET! (30/6/10)
Bet the blog title has induced many question marks in your head right?? Hahaha! =D Just had Math Paper 1 tuh-daeee and I've just stoned for the past few hours so I've decided to bloggg! And then I really gotta get started on Physics. Quantum's sooo boring.. =X
Being the die-hard football and Liverpool FC fan, there's gotta be some skills that I've been working on 'behind the scenes' that you guys dont get to see... until I play in front of everyone. =P Haha I can sense everyone going "Ah-Hah that's what he's been wasting his free time on...". =.= Nice try but it aint exatly 'time-wasting' cause football is the best sport in the world!! Okay jokes aside... Gotta get to the mian jist of this blog post.
Okay okay the technique that I've been practising so much on is called the 'Rocket Free Kick'. It's basically just striking a stationary ball with a magnificent combination of power, dip & accuracy, that it is almost unstoppable to keep out of the goal. WATCH THIS!!
AND THIS! (Apologise for the poor quality.. It's the best I could get)

Before I continue, I've gotta clarify this... I'M SOOOO NOT A FAN OF RONALDO as a person. I just admire his technique and skill. Got that?? =P
Haha yeah you seeeee?? How amazing are his strikes? Betcha that all of you are pulling your jaws off from the ground right now. The way that he makes contact with the ball is simply amazingly yummy! He just strikes the ball sooo sweetly to inch-perfection. Especially in the 2nd video. Brilliant technique to acquire! Hehe! So I'll be practising more and more. Hopefully I will be able to replicate his free kicks one day. One day.... =X Well, practice makes perfect!
Before I sign off, I wanna share a verse from Hebrews 11.. 'Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.'
Let me use this to encourage my buddies out there to just have faith no matter what situation you're in. Be it in times of trouble or in times of disappointment or in times of picking up a new skill like the 'Rocket Freekicks', we just gotta trust in God that he will deliver us from our troubles even if our situation seems really really helpless. God will know what's best for us! =)
Just gotta have a lil faith! - Lincoln Burrows(Prison Break) KUDOS! =D
