G.A.P.
God Answers Prayers.

G.A.P.
The prayer group that meets every friday to intercede on behalf of our nation. church. family. schools.

G.A.P. Retreat.
The prayer retreat that took place on 23&24th of June.
There was power.
There was the spirit.
There was great passion.
There was great worship.
There were great games too but, most importantly,
There was prayer.

I don't want to blog about the whole thing as it'd be really long-winded for you. I also can't share all of pastor Benny Ho's notes as I'm not allowed to. I'll share what's important anyway.

John Wesley once said:
"Give me 100 preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I don't care whether they are clergy or laymen, such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. GOD DOES NOTHING BUT IN ANSWER TO PRAYER."

How true that is.
Prayers are the building blocks of revival.
And once you start praying, you realise the more you pray, the more you have to pray for.
But you must start.
So start.
Now.

How to start? Pray how Jesus prayed.
How did he pray?
1. Pray for yourself.
2. Pray for your disciples, or in context, your friens.
3. Pray for the gentiles, or in context, pray for your community, school, the world.

Ready?
Get set.
Go.

And do not miss the next prayer retreat. Or you'll have another big gap in you.

Come and join us if you want.
How?
Ask.

Ever had a bad nose day?

One day when you wake up/moment when you walked somewhere/moment you walked into the sun, you started sneezing your nose offa?

Let me tell you, this happens to me everyday.

And I hate it.

This is probably fact no. 6 about me:
I have a sensitive nose.

Now most people tend to misinterprit 'sensitive' as one that can pick up smells from miles away like a dog's nose. Well, I can't.

They way I define sensitive, is that I do however am extremely good at picking up dust particles and cold air to tickle my nose glands. Which of course, results in me having to blow my nose off everyday.

If this bout happens in the morning, I still can recover during the day. If it happens in the afternoon however, I will probably end up with a blocked nose for the rest of the evening or with a nose I simply can't catch. I hate running noses.

Record for most no. of consecutive sneezes w/o stopping: 12. Beat that.

Having a sensitive nose also means that I cannot stand perfumes/colognes/deos so STOP SPRAYING THEM IN CLASS! Man.. really upsets my nose for the day.. which also means.. when I get a girlfriend she must be one that doesn't like applying perfume.. well.. not too much anyways...

I also have this disease called sinus where umm.. rather hard to explain.. umm.. I have alot of phlegm. Recently I have been taking medication and I'm about almost healed but this also leads to the sensitivity.

How I got sinus? Either I've been sleeping in too cold air-cons for too long or I got it when I almost got suffocated to death a few times with my face buried in the bed by my elder brother. But that's another story for another time.

Somebody tell me how to catch a nose. Esp a super duper fast and elusive one.

Bye bye.

_ Un-pimplefy _

Okay fine! Geez.. I'm sick and tired of repeating myself so if you ask me one more time after this I'll smack you.

Here it is:

How To Get Rid Of Pimples:
Copyright© Bobby 2004

First of all let me say that I think facial washers DO NOT WORK. Well, that is in my case, and quite alot of other peoples' too. If you have a perfect facial wash that gives you results in >3 days then STOP READING MYY DARN POST! [andfeelfreetointroduceittoallofus]
Yes, facial washers simply do not work.[Note*:I Do Not Mean Facial Masks!! So don't complain to me if your facial mask don't work.]

And when I talk about facial washers I mean the CHEAP ONE's YOU FIND IN THE NEAREST NTUC. Like by BIORE or Ginvera etc.cetc. NOT SK-II or some heck expensive one that's been recommended by dunno what magazine. Well I'm not sure if they work either. Anyway, here goes. If you are completely pimple-free or don't care about how to remove pimples then GO AWAY.

1. When you bathe, after you've shampooed your hair, use NORMAL BODY SOAP and scrub your whole entire face like there was no tomorrow. Yes, take note, NORMAL BODY SOAP. Scrub especially hard on the pimple/s area but scrub hard the rest of your face too. Yes I KNOW THAT NORMAL BODY SOAP IS VERY DRY. BUT THAT IS THE POINT.

It is supposed to be dry so as to dry out the pimple. NO THE WATER FROM YOUR SHOWER DOES NOT REMOVE THE DRYNESS AFTER THAT! geez... Leave your face soaped and do the rest of your body.

2. After you've showered down and stepped out of the bathroom, when using a towel to wipe your face, SCRUB OFF THE DARN PIMPLE! YES I MEAN IT. YOU WILL NOT FEEL A THING. let me repeat that. YOU WILL NOT FEEL A SINGLE THING. I mean that too. This is because when you've dryed out the pimple while you bathed, there will be a hardened pimple that will be terribly easy to rub off. ONE RUB WILL DO IT.

And yes, you won't feel pain. It may not seem so before you scrub it but I assure you you won't feel a thing.

3. After you've rubbed it off the bugger WILL START BLEEDING IMMEDIATELY. No I do not mean profusely, it's just like when you scratch off an uncompleted scab and blood comes out. Yeah that sort of thing. Now when this happens you can either leave the scab to completely heal,[whatIdonotdo], or use tissue and dab off the fresh blood.[whatido=D].

Now my friend scrutinized this and said then it will leave a scar or a mark on your face. I replied but it seems fine to me wad. Then he said it's because I'm tanned. Maybe. Letme just say that yes there probably will be a mark but it will be EXTREMELY QUANTUMDRUPER SMALL. So unless someone is studying your face or forehead with a magnifying glass you do not need to worry.

4. Now, if you've dabbed out the blood, definitely new blood will flow out but it will not be as much as the first amount. So a scab will form. =D. When you think the scab has dried out sufficiently, like after a day or two, then scratch/pluck/rip/whatever it off. AND YOU ARE DONE!!! The pimple is GONNEEE!! HURRAH!

Extra Tips:
1. Work's better if your pimple is at its final stage. That means almost like bursting with pass. But it also works if it is halfway to pass-saturation. If it is still rather small and not very visible and my method does not work then wait till the final stage.

2. This is how you should wash your face everyday to keep it pimple/black-head free. Yes, blackheads too. If you don't believe it works, come look at me.

3. Work's better if you drink water frequently. I mean yeah, this water-drinking is not original, but please do drink lotsa water. If during the day you think you've not drank enough, then before you sleep drink two cups of water and immediately pee whatever is currently in your bladder out.

Disclaimer*: DO THE ABOVE AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF IT DOES NOT WORK DON'T COME FRIGGIN' CRYING TO ME. IF YOU ARE TERRIBLY FAIR AND ARE SCARRED FOR LIFE TOO BAD. RESULTS MAY AND PROBABLY WILL VARY. THOUGH I'D SAY A 90% CHANCE OF SUCCESS. YES, I MEAN IT.

Feel free to tell me the results.
Byebye.

-what do you want-

Was about just after dinner. Strumming away on my guitar before I headed back to my books.

Electromagnetic Induction. I'm so glad I finally got it. After like forever. Almost made me hate physics.

So anyway back to the bit when I was strumming away, pretending I was Doyle Dykes in some distant, far far away universe and time. Gaww he is like the best in the world. I can't even figure out which key he plays in, though it takes me less than 10 seconds for most other guys, then i found out he plays alternate tuning. Like: C G C D B E. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT.

SO anyway coming back, was halfway in my fantasy world when my bro walks in,

"Eh when you go JC what CCA you wanna be in."

"umm.. choir..??"

"Mmmm.. that very time consuming??"

"I guess.. sometimes 6 times/week."

"Mm... then... nevermind.."

"Eh! Eh wait!! Why? why? WHY?"

"Nah I just wanted to ask if you wanted to join the Singapore Youth Flying Club."

"I can meh?"

"Why cannot?"

"Cos I wear specs wad.."

"What degree?"

"umm.. right 225 left 175.."

"Aiyah then can lah.. but since you in choir then nevermind."

"eh.."

I wanted to ask some other stuff but he had closed my room door and walked off already.

I thought about it for awhile. Finally couldn't take it.

Put down my guitar [I was already out of the fantasy world by then], went to the computer room,

"But.. will I have to skip classes like you did just to go attend and when it's bad weather and all that kind of stuff then timing become screwed up??"

"Probably.."

"and.. are there any pro's?? Like.. Can get into SIA next time not?"

"Aiyah.. these kinds of things is not.. I wanna go or not loh li loh suo wan.. You must have the interest most of all.."

I went back and pondered for awhile.. Then went to the kitchen to get some water and he was there..

"But what if I am afraid of heights??" [Don't laugh]

"Aiyah you.. [hewasprollythinking:Smallfattbugger.]
these kindsa things you must really really have the interest wan.. tell you what lah since ur already so set on choir just go for it lah.."

For awhile it made me sit and ponder..

since ur already so set on choir just go for it lah

that statement.. suddenly hit me..

alots going on right now that i wann blog but have no time for

To cut-a-long-story-short:

What am I in a cca for. Enjoyment? Fun? CCA Points?
I wanted and even thought of abandoning choir and joining the flying club all because of a better resume it'd give me should I wanna be a pilot in SIA net time. Heck they earn super duper alot ok.

But is that my passion? What have I been attending a cca the past 4 yrs for? I mean sure there were many times of goofing around and pissing the teachers off[our choir is really bad ok] and most of the time half-heartedly attending practices and half-asleep through most of them. And to top it all off I'm, or was, the student conductor. I heard in JC it's gonna be heck of alot more disciplinary.

I don't know whether to like that or to hate that. I guess I was never too happy with my choir but I can't deny the many memorable moments and friends.

wonder how different the JC choir will be. Will I hate or like it more? Guess it works both ways.
hrr.. need to go now..

What do you want? What's your passion?

heh.. guess I have to be ready to face anything.. even if it weren't for a girl..

what am i saying

- 5 things -

Hi there!! =D

Alright. Today i shall post the five things you probably don't know about me. Or mebbe you do. But highly unlikely. I do hope you will not hate me more after this =P!! Let's GO!

1. Handwriting
- Lemme just start of by saying I have got the absolutely most disgustingly atrocious handwriting I've ever seen in my life!! I have desperately tried to change my style but it still looks like.. CRAP!! So.. if you can't stand totally horrible writing.. stay far from me haha.. oh and if you do know how to help me please tell me asap.

2. Puntuality
- Err.. I'm kinda particular about punctuality. If someone commits to meet me somewhere at a certain time and doesn't come on time I won't be too happy. If I can be punctual why can't you?? Haha.. don't worry I won't scold you but I won't be impressed. Definitely. Oh and [donthatemeforthis] it applies to both sexes so don't give me an excuse that you are a girl!!! [hahaithinkthatsabittooharsh=P]

3. Impatient
- Hmm.. this sorta connects with the above point I guess. I have this tendency to walk fast. Well I can't run fast but I am always at least 4-6 paces infront of the rest of a group whenever I go out. I'd start the same line as we round a corner and when we reach the next one I'd have to stop and wait for the rest to catch up b4 the cycle repeats. Not to good I guess but it's kind ofa habit. Some friends asked me then how I pak toh next time. Well I don't know so stop asking!! ^.^
Umm I also like to get things done as fast as possible.. llike geddit over and done with so don't try to ask me to wait or relax because once I actually do, I won't be able to get back in gear again for the rest of the day?? either that or I'll be very half-hearted.. so.. not too good yeah?

4. Not very gentlemanly??
- Yeah. I tend to act before I think. Not at all good. Um, I have another tendency to poke fun at people and uh.. piss them off?? I guess you can call me rude.. But lemme get this straight!!!!!!! When I poke fun or insult you I don't at all mean it!!! I know it's wrong to do so anyway but I REALLY DON"T MEAN IT!! When I'm actually very angry with you you will know the difference. But the chances of that happening are unlikely. Oh.. and I tend to do alot of stupid things like dares and stuff.. so if you'd rather not be embarressed.. don't stick around me too much!! bleah..

man.. i hope i'll still have friends after this..

5. Critique
- Ok.. my last point.. mann I feel discouraged after writing all this but I feel I should so you can understand me better :D.
Ok here goes: I do not encourage. Yupyup very bad point. I WILL definitely praise you when I think you are worthy. I won't encourage you out of the blue or for pointless things. I'm sorry. I don't know why. And I'll critique you every time you boast of something. [I need to change this bad cos the bible says so.] Yeah if i think you have a fabulous voice I will tell you. If I think you don't I won't tell you but I won't praise you. Guess you can say i don't like to fake/bluff?? Haha..

Yeah that's it for now. Oh my.. alot of very negative points about me here.. Seriously.. Please still be my friends after this k?? Haha...

Doyle Dykes rocks my sock's socks. Go listen to him.

Yup God Bless
Goodnight

P.S.: If you feel like praying for me please do k? mm :)

- the bullseye -

Hey I am back.
Well not with the new layout cos apparently my html-er is rather busy forgetting to do so. So anyway I wanted to post abit more about myself but decided to leave that for another time.

I had a long talk with my dad tonight. Or rather my dad did most of the talking while I just lay by and listened. Here's how it is. Was watching French Open Finals where Rafael Nadal was currently playing umm... something Puerta =P. Anyways my dad walks in to the room...

"You didnt do any work today huh.." in a peeved tone.

"Umm.. no.."

"Turn off the tv."

I did.

"Bobby, what do u want to get for 'o's."
"Umm.. 9?"
"Why?"
"Actually 8.."
"Why?"
"Cos I wanna beat Gor-gor who got 9."
"And do u know how far away u are? 17 is a loong way to go you know,"
[17 was my mid-yr L1R5]
"*sigh"

He gave me pointers. I shall now share with all who are willing.

What YOU need? 3D's, 1E, 1S.

The 3 D's.
-Determination. Drive. Discipline.
* Determination and Drive:
It is not enough to give your best. You must want something. You must DARN WANT IT.Look at Nadal. Without Determination and Drive he would have never beaten Roger Federer. [Federer is the current world tennis no. 1. Nadal is barely 19 yrs of age.] Federer is king. He owns. He humbled many past no.1's. Till he was humbled himself by Nadal. Can u imagine that? At just 19 YOU beat the WORLD NUMBER 1.

To add to this, look at the size of his arms. It's HUMUNGOUS!! Nothing like this can be acheived by just tennis alone. He must have gone to the gym. NOw that's true Drive. C'mon. YOu want your 8-9 points, +- 1-2, you must have those 2D's. Getting from 17 to 12-13 is not much of a problem if one up's one step to be consistent. Getting from 17 to eight... is 2/3 levels higher. Here's where effort comes into place.

* Effort:
It is not enough to finish the allocated study time. So what if you finish 7 hours of study a day? I mean definitely it counts but, at the end of the day, it is not enough. I don't noe enough study time put in. Effort and Drive maked you go beyond the limit. Effort and drive mean one seeks to NAIL every subject. Every field. To have TOTAL control, TOTAL grasp over it, and not let it control you. To seek and to search out every possible possibility till you DOMINATE the subject. To go beyond the study time to solve one question that seems impossible to solve. But any more than 7 hrs a day is, hehheh, heck of alot.

* Discipline. Sacrifice.:
Discipline. TO stick to the plan. the schedule.
Sacrifice. To give up something for something more. To sacrifice short-term for the long term good. There'll always be tv shows. Tennis Tournaments annualy. Junior Nadals.

WHY CANT YOU SACRIFICE JUST FIVE MONTHS OR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE SO THAT YOU CAN ENJOY YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE?

I don't know.

Sacrifice.
Requires so much.

Extra tip. You need God's Favour. But don't bet on it. A's won't fall outta the sky.

Many ways of saying this.
Aim for the sky, for if you fall, you can still hit the treetops.
Reach for the sun, for if you miss, you still gotta moon.
Aim for 6 a1's, for if you fail u still can get 8 pts.
When you reach, aim differently you think much differently.
Here's my dad's.

Aim for the bullseye, for if you miss, you can still hit the second or third corona.
Should you aim for the third, you might miss the board altogether.

Goodnight.
