God's intervention in my promos


phew!
the eNd of promos!

this was a hetic week, sry to all hopefuls who are reading my blog.

GP (P1)21/09
oh well the paper was tough and i felt quite screwed. the first paper was like a hammer. it just crushed my hope for promos initially. i wrote the question on
'Selfishness is the chief cause of environmental problems' Do you agree?
my ideas initially went flourishing like the blooming of a thousand orchards. i then filtered my ideas and chose the point which gave the punchline for my essay. ahh that desicion wasn't wise. my ideas wasn't well filtered and well chosen. i felt the essay wasn't well coordinated and of cos..wasn't well written. i felt kinda screwed. but its okay, i know God still loves me no matter what marks i get. He isn't like some silly parents of Singapore who only show love and care to their children when they perform well. My God's love for me is indisputable and absolutely UNCONDITIONAL=)

Gp(p2)21/09
well this was also kinda tough. they normal questions was very difficult to understand and when i review the ans i wrote i felt like my ans were 'drilled' with many shortcomings.the summary was rather easy though and the AQ qns was ...omgoodness. i wrote substantially but im afraid i might miss the point. sigh. anyway i surrender my cares to the Lord as he cares very much for me and had always wanted me to lead a carefree life.
Lord i declare my GP blessed by you! for christ has paid the price for me to reign in life!

Chinese P1 24/09
woah this was astounding. tell u guys smthing u might wanna laugh. in the middle of my chinese essay i had a stomachache. woah it was so urgent that i had to go to the lavatory to relieve myself. Praise the Lord! my essay was nearing the end of my story and that made me less worrisome for the time constrain i might have after my 'toilet trip'loL. anyway, i dashed across the campus and found my Godsend toilet. phew! 5mins and yes 5mins i finish my business. 'made my profits' and rush back to the examination hall to end off my essay. overall it was good and i thank the Lord for his divine appointment that i wote fast and rather well (imo). in total i wrote 2 and 3/4 pages. it was out of this world that i can write that long FOR CHINESE!.

Chinese (P2)24/09
ahh this is a mixture of good and bad.
for those of u who know the p2 starts with finding synonyms for the chinese idioms stated in the paper. i was shocked by my performance in that. i know how to do all 3 of them. im surprised as in all my past paper practice, i never even know how to do one at all. seriously guys (and gals).this made me feel confident. now here is the dark side. the close passage was really screwed up. imo (in my opinion) either i will get 2 or 0 out of 10 marks. practically the whole passage was like a guessing game to me. seriously all the qns i had to made a guess. i felt none of the qns was goin to be correct. the was a vacuum of confidence.then the last comprehension was really frustrating for me. i had to read 6 times to comprehend it. this is not a joke. but however there was time. i thank God for is amazing grace that was bestowed on me during that time that i still had enuf time to finish my comprehension and also to finish the paper in 8 mins earlier! woah i felt like i travelled in time on heaven's wings.

Economics (P1) 25/09
wow this i truly testify was God's blessing. my econs was really bad initially. paper1 was case study where i have to use the extracts that was given to me and answer qns posed to me. the qns was really easy to me except for a few and i never felt so confident before. i am hopefull for this paper to get a C or B. praise God!

Economics (P2) 25/09
this was also really easy. i thank God i speculated right about the questions that would come out. it was positive externalities and YEEHAH! i studied the correct topic! wat i memorised i just vomitted out. the ans was a perfect match to the question. i am really confident i will do well for this paper. most likely econs will surely pass and this will be a milestone for fufiling the criteria for promoting to J2 and my H1 MUZ PASS! i am very sure i will pass and in Jesus name Amen!=)

Mathematics Paper 25/09
to me this was the most well prepared paper i have sitted for in my promos. and of cos being well prepared idealistically u will be able to do well for it. and indeed it was so but i still wan to give the glory (credits) to God almighty! he sufficed my preparation and made me memorised well my mathematical concepts. the paper to me was quite easy except for a few qns that i really have no idea for it. overall this paper was good and i am hopeful for an A grade. be God the glory!

Chemistry (P1) 26/09
woah..superficially this paper seemed like a invincible assasin. the first 3 MCQ qns was really demoralising and it drained the whole corhort's confidence. but as our momentum begin to recover, hmm then i dawned on us that actually it was really a killer. it was a disguise well crafted by the chemistry teachers. i shd have seen thru it earlier. but its okay, the paper was not really very tough and was do'able jus that the first 3 qns was really demoralising. i got one of it correct but the other 2 qns was really a guess for me. thank God it wasn't badly done.

Chemistry (p2) 26/09
ahh this paper truly shocked me. it was much easier than the other lecture tests. my chem teacher also scared the shit out of us by saying the qns are well crafted by him to achieve pinnacle massacre. i would lOl to that. it wasnt really a killer and well. it was the same case in paper one. after the paper it dawned on me that actually i remember the conditions and reactions scheme and the distinguishing tests and the stroy telling techniques well enuf for me to tackle the paper! ive been charged with the mind of the Holy Spirit! wow that really rocked me! i am also hopefil for and A for this paper. Amen!

Physics (P1) 28/09
this paper was today. well it was also well done i think i can get 18 to 17 upon 20. i made some careless mistakes and i will be penalized. overal i realised that actually physics paper 1 is not really tough and i fret too much abt it the previous night. i shd have trusted Him for his grace. but still i thank the Lord for his abundant grace for this paper!

Physics (P2) 28/09
which was also today. oh yea this paper was the truly tough nut of the physics exam. the calculations was really draining and the meticulous work it demands from the candidates. one small and innicent careless mistake could result in a catastrophe for the qns. oh well this paper to me was really challenging. it was out of this world, i wished i can get bak the the secondary syllabus and study it. a lvl syllabus is really a far cry from the secondary syllabus. u bet. i did all qns nv left blanks and was kinda confident and unconfident. i cant really make a clear judment whether this paper i will excel or not. but as im in Christ and as He is so am I in this world. Christ is of cos excellent in physics...so am i in this world! i surrender this paper to u Lord and i shalln't worry about it for all that is not right will be made right by God-to the believers of christiandom.


Wrapping up, i feel this promos was really fufilling and it made me to know more about u Lord. i was initially really feeling worried if i wouldn't promote to J2 as before the promos i was still slacking and didnt had rigourious revision. it was during the arrival of the promos that i really fretted and started to revise. but i knew this could result in a disaster for my promotion. so i really wanna take the time to honour u Lord for being soooo gracious to me and still soo loving towards me. I love u Lord and i shall boast in ur love for me and not my love for u as ur Love is truly unconditional and everlasting. i am truly deeply loved, highly favoured and greatly blessed! Thank you so much Lord! You're my true Hero and no one can take ur place in my heart!

divine favour


hectic week.
like a rat race.
tests.tutorials.lectures.promos.
but im thankful for the Lord who keeps me whole and sound during times of troubles and difficulties.
God had favour on me as i was specially selected with other students by the GP department to represent pJc to have a dialogue session with a minister in the Prime minister office. think hes the current sect.Gen of the parliment or some sort...hes just the high ranks. the dialogue session was fun and it broaden my perspective of Singapore. but one thing i really wanna thank the Lord for is that he blesses Singapore with smart and competent leaders to lead us into success after success. the minister was so well aware of the global issues and was very wise. indeed God has made Singapore to prevail.(no offence for foreigners)


after the dialogue i rushed to my chemistry tutorial and then got bak my class photos. here they are:


These are the christians of my class. 8 of them. St.J,NingJie,Ernie,Kang De,Oswin,Johnathon,Caleb and Alex. arranged in accordance from the highest row to the lowest row, left to right.
yea. the red cross is me. s†.J


yep my name.

green: my best friend (Pan Long)

grey: the cassanova (Joseph)

light blue: the guy who says the word combo "so how?, wattheheck!!, crap!" (Yi Ming)

black: the three "buai song"(not happy..wanting to find fault) faces (Alex Nigel Jason)

pink: the girls (in desperate need for more lOL)

purple: my CT (civis tutor) Miss Shan Xin

well folks thats my class and we are going to 'war' with the promos exam paper next week friday. the first blood will be the Gp paper. i pray that the Holy Spirit will be in me and my fellow christian brothers to lead me into victory and make the Gp paper bleed under our ruthless skill of writing. may the blood of Jesus that bled for our sakes overcome the onslaught of the promotional exams. Amen!

my church miracle!


been busy these few days over my chemistry test..was fretting over it during sunday and i didnt have the time to blog it..

090990: 9:20am I was born!
090907: 9:20am I turned 17!

wow in a blink of an eye i realised i was 17 years old! how time flies...recalling the memories that God has given me soo much and letting me realised how much he has loved me. thank you Lord for giving me such a wonderful date for my birthday and all u have done for me! went to church with xiang fei and he was outrageously late! by 15mins loL. all was good and we sang our praises to the Lord and ate the holy communion (my church takes it every weekend). pastor lian came out and gave some good news (testimonies) to the church. my senior pastor:Pastor Joseph Prince then came out and address the audience. he then told us to stand and was about to make a grand announcement. he first started off with recollecting the past memories of our church(currently at the Rock in suntec city above carrefour). how we last time held meetings in hotels and then in 2000 we moved to suntec city. we have been all along believing God for a miracle. for a bigger place...a place of our own. Finally! my pastor announced we have found the place! it is a building sorta a place of cultural and arts central with an amphitheatre accomodating almost 5300 seats! also included in the building is a shopping mall. it is a joint venture with Capitaland. this is indeed a miracle! for 7 years we have been in a small auditorium and now God has decided to 'upsize' our meeting place. praise the Lord! ok now the best part is it is located in One North. think u guys didn't know where it is but actually it is actually near Bouna Vista mrt station. wow thats really near my house. too bad i cant get the pics up. this is just soo good of the Lord. now i can go to church without having to wake up sooo early as before wow this is just exciting!

100907
tired.
rush to school.
went thru the daily schedule of tutorials.
now its 6pm for my chemistry test. its testing on all the way from ALKANES, ALKENES, ARENES, HALOGENOALKANES and ALCOHOLS!
man the prepartion of it really leeched the life outta me. but thank God he rejuvenates my soul and spirit!
memory is the key to this chem test. we have tons of conditions of chemical reactions to MEMORISE which it is not my forte(An asset of special worth or utility). i didnt felt confident frankly speaking when i entered to the lecture theatre. felt a sense of great fear. i cast my cares on the Lord and then i did my test. all questions was fine but 2 freaking question worth 4m each freaked me out. it was to write out a distinguishing test to distinguish both chemicals!..oh it was really demoralising.well its ok 8m flown but im sure i can get a B grade for this test.(in Jesus name amen! i will score). well ended at 7pm and went home with yuxuan. we both pour out our greviences of this test and complained that it was really sickening.


thank you Lord fr this day that u have made and i will be glad in it. thank you for the blessing u have endowed upon my and that ur precious sacrifice has kept my family safe and sound.u truly love me and i will boast not of my love for u but ur love for me! there's one thing Lord i wanna let u know: that ur truly my Hero.†

divine Gift


woah! tmr is my birthday and the Lord was so gracious that he gave me my gift even before i officially reached the age of 17. family went out to take the advantage of ice cream sales in a nearby ice cream factory near my house. came home with huge carions of ice cream drenched in bits of dry ice(composites: CO2).

initially my GC(graphic calculator) ran out of batt and i told mt dad to get it. after the ice cream plunder my dad still didnt got hold of my battries..i was fuming mad( was abt to explode). the dad told me that we will get it with ur new phone. i was stunned for a few moments and was like: 'can u say it again cuz i heard the phrase of a new phone"...i clarified with my dad and he told me yea! we're getting u a new phone! in me came an indescribable sense of excitement and happiness.

went down to Jurong Point and look at the different models of sony erricsson. i initially wanted the new model W580i but it was kinda expensive of $288 with any 2 year plan. i then caught hold of the W850i. the price was 46bucks with a student plan and it was worth it. my parents agreed and we tried out its functions and it turned out to be very satisfactory. indeed God was very good to me. went down a floor and got hold of a protective cover for my phone. surprisingly the cover only cost 4bucks. wow how gracious was the Lord to me! those covers usually cost 10 bucks. my friend had the same model as me and he bought the cover for 15bucks! i really thank the Lord for giveing me such an inexpensive cover to protect my phone. ah some might think that the quality was lousy and thats y i got it a such a low price. even if it is so my father in heaven will ensure it will endure the coming odds. woah! my father's love in heaven really just excites me!

thank you Lord sooooooo much for being so gracious and loving towards my that u prepare my gift before my birthday. ur abundant grace and ur passionate love for me and all my fellow christians brothers and sisters i can never comprehend. shower me with more of ur love each day as ur love and grace is more than sufficient for my daily needs. i am ur son and You are my Father, nothing can change that fact! I love u Lord!

to all u guys out there theres a God who loves u all. for all the despaired and sorrowful and the lost, there is a God who really cares for u! He truly loves u and he is not against u. He wants u back to his Kingdom and enjoy his love and grace each day with him. anyone and anybody can accept him regardless of race, language, or religion (sounds like the Singapore pledge). sEEk him out for time is short and enjoy his love each day!=)

Thanksgiving


yawnz... got out of bed with an anticipation. an anticipation of the comments i would received
from my blog. ahh its seems all good..the comments were heartening.. really thank you all u
guys and gals. thought u all may discriminate my blog for being 'too religious'. having known u
guys embraced it with much acceptance i can now blog peacefully. ahh yes after seeing such
lovely comments, i dreaded that i gotta wash up and rush all the way down to sch for a chemistry remedial. nvm that, i casted my cares to the Lord and went off. my face went -_-" when i saw the freakish hair of mine. how i wished the mirror would tell some imagery lies that time. my hair was like an overgrown swamp...fringe and sideburns encroaching my very head. during chemistry it was a damn good experience. as my friend put it: hey josh look! its a gender imbalance! finally and yes finally! the theatre was overcrowded by girls from 2 classes. my class has only 3 girls. one is physically distorted or i would say challenged in the shape of an 'O" if those who still don get it... another is almost like a transexual= u guys call it tomboy?? well i say she's a guy, and the last is finally a normal girl..anyway God loves everyone no matter wat shape u may be in or how smart u are...he loves everyone of us. before the earth was created he had us in his thoughts. u might be wondering how God does that...but don forget thats y he is God. still by the grace of God i thank You for giving our class at least 3 students defined biologically as girls. (better than none) ahh and all u guys looking at this thread: God loves u too no matter u love, hate or wish to have nth to do with Him. may u be saved!
