Obscene?

I got this from a student... She said I obscene. I was stunned. I was seated down, leg crossed, wearing track pants and a normal t-shirt teaching and briefing my female students. Then I wondered why she said that. I wondered if my underwear was exposed or anything and in what way I was obscene lo. Guess what? She peeped through my sleeve and saw my arm pit... She said that was obscene! Peng liao lo. Next time, I must wrap myself in layers of cloth and pespire to death in the hot sun to protect my modesty!? Students hor...! The things that they say... Worse is she peep at my arm pit lo. Not like I am parading it!

A Week in School on Crutch

Walking up and down and everywhere on crutch for the entire week. Students here and there asking me why and what happened... The reflief for my PE lesson was injured on Thursday and so Friday last week and this week, I took my PE classes with crutch. Then she came back to help relief on Wednesday but I was also around to teach n crutch. Amazing... A pai kar teach PE lei!!

So I got back into the mood of things slowly but surely. Did some work and teaching in class. Stand and sit to teach. Climb up and down the stairs to class for mathematics and lifeskill classes. But I still think most amazing is to teach PE with crutch. I miss all classes a lot because of the relationship. Each class is special to me in their own ways.

Well, had to sit through some trainings that I almost died. Had to prepare for some emergency exercise lo... Then I was like saying, if the school had a fire, I am sure first to die liao... Haha... Then we had some practice session. We made a lot of noise and had a bit of fun la. It was great but just that it ended at about 7pm. Had to meet a parent as well to discuss his son's conitual absence from school. Been such a week of being busy. Preaparing exam papers for printing and meet parents and teach class and....

Then Principal within the week got come look for me after her meeting. She passed by my seat and she popped by to speak to me... I think I still have favour in the school. I asked my class to go church also. Hope they can go.... I gave them my telephone number to arrange with me...

Most fun thing of the week is to chat with my classes. Also, I got to chat with the relief teacher. She got injured when she sprained her ankle on Thursday. My friends all said must be my 'feng shui' of my seat. Haha... It's been a tiring but a fun week...!

Week's Progress & Going Back To School

A week of waiting for friday to go back to school. A week of spending time with my brother-in-christ, Kevin. We chilled together like on tue, wed, thurs (went to Orchard), fri, sat & sun... For this whole entire week, we played games, chatted, do boliao stuff... The fun part was when he came on thurs and we went Orchard to sit at Lido, talk nonsense. Then we also talked about many things la... Serious things lo. Like why we so handsome... Haha... We then proceeded to Wistma Foodcourt to whack makan. 2 guys spent $25 on food. When we finished the first serving and Kevin came back with the second round, the girls facing our tables were shocked! Haha... I think most who read this entry also shock! We also talked abt someone we nicknamed "Ronaldhino"...! So much fun in a long long time.

Then he came and join my family for dinner on saturday night. We ate a lot of stuff. He joined me, my mum, my aunties (1 each from paternal & maternal), my cousin, my bro & his future wife. Ate Prawn Paste Chicken, XO Toufu, Belachan KangKong, Furong Egg, XO Fish Mee Fun and Sweet Sour Pork. Shiok! Then he stayed over at my place with laptop hooking on to my wireless access. We use MSN to communicate nonsense again. How fun was that?! Boliao but fun! We watched soccer with my cousin before we all turned in. Then sun, we go church together and chilled out till about just an hour ago before we parted ways... Cool brother... Any gals interested, give me a call. Can intro... Haha...

It's been so long since I went back to school. Friday was the day lo. How was it, some might ask? Well, it was generally pretty smooth sailing. My friend came and fetch me in the morning. I slept only 3hours plus. Dunno why cannot sleep well. Well, went back, colleagues all greeted me & said hi. Attended assembly and then had to supervise PE lesson because the relief teacher taking over me for PE sprained her ankle the day before. What a coincidence! Then I sat in to my maths' class. The teacher had little rapport with my class. I decided that I had to do something about it... I am taking over my class again for maths on monday. Must do it, for their sake because exams are near! Cannot afford to waste time liao! Anyway, I think the day was pretty smooth for my first day back. I had many curious onlookers and really students who kept asking me. Received some belated Teachers' Day Presents. Pretty cool! Going back agian tommorrow! Yeah... But also sianz because back to the real world of work!

One thing about saturday was that I helped students study for their N level by having them come my house! I think they have benefitted much from my coaching and I think they are able to learn. That's the most key thing for me! Shaobing is one of them. He was so depressed and wanted to give up but I can see that he is trying hard to study now. Jiayou ba. He stayed at my house from 11am till 630pm. To do work and play la. Zest left earlier to help another of my students, Nada, whom is not allowed to leave the house. I think Zest is more than able to help some people liao!

Anyway, what I am saying here is I had a great week! Pretty cool because You3 Yi4 Wan4 Shui4! Haha... Kevin knows what this means! It was a fruitful week in many ways!

Why Some People Hate Me?

I heard that there are some students that do not like me.... Oh well, I can never please everyone. Being playful, I think I may have ruffled a few students' feathers. I also guess many a times they misinterpret intent. Guess I have to suffer the consequences of my actions la! I guess we are all human. We make mistakes. Best is to learn quick and grow up quick! But sometimes so difficult to change. Must make effort lo...! Another short blog entry...!

Why call me Ah Ong?

I keep getting a lady call me, asking for Ah Ong... It has been ongoing for a few months. I tried to tell the lady that there is no AH ONG lei. Many times but she still seems to keep asking the same questions.... Irritating la. I wonder if she got the wrong number through dialing or the line is crossed.

I think I shall do what ChaoYang suggested to me.

Me:"Hello? Ya, I am Ah Ong!"
Lady:"Are you sure u are Ong?"
Me:"Are you sure?"
Lady:"You are not Ong la!"
Me:"Thanks for telling me that I am not Ong. I was pretty sure I was not. Then not so sure after you keep calling me Ong. Now you say I am not again! How confusing!"

Haha...! Just a boliao blog entry!

Reporting Back

I am into my last few days of hospitalisation leave. Going back to school this friday. How do I feel?
  1. Excited - to go back and see all my 'babies'! My form class and CCA as well.
  2. Worried/ anxious - how to adapt back to the pace of school life after 2 months of absence. How things are arranged for me to go back as I will still be on crutch around school.
  3. Refreshed - to go back energised after a good unexpected break.
  4. Motivated - to help my students study and pass exams and hopefully invite them to church!
  5. Engaged - to have more things to keep me occupied and not so free.

I really think going back has its pros & cons. The most important is to go back to my form class because they are like 'fatherless' throughout this time. Many of them are 'crying' for me to go back. Poor things! Teachers' Day, all celebrated with their form teachers. My class couldn't...!

Next is my volleyballers...! They may have stopped training but I really miss them too. The B divisions are close to me because of the Bangkok Trip. My C divisions are also close to me because I spent a lot of time teaching them and helping them. I am also close to them because mainly they are the secondary ones, whom I teach for PE.

Life will go on this friday. In anticipation and anxiousness....! Akan Datang for how I feel on the actual day...!

Inconsiderate People Part 2

  1. Smoking in your toilet in a HDB flat but smoke comes up and stinks my room as well... Coughi!!
  2. Pang sai or pang jio (shit or pee) on the toilet bowl seat... Can aim properly or not?
  3. Put bag on a seat that you obviously don't need... Unless your bum too big?!
  4. Cannot wait to light that cigarette till you get out of the lift? Since you killing yourself with smoke, can't you wait a while longer to die? Don't kill people around you.
  5. Go to a fast food chain and cannot decide what you wish to order despite being in the queue for a good 10-15minutes. There are many people waiting behind you...!
  6. You get down a bus and someone steps your leg from behind. You expect a sorry but all you hear is: Why you cannot walk faster? How to see behind me leh?
  7. People who pang sai on the bus!!! Please la... You want to do it also don't do it right in the middle of the upper deck...!
  8. Take lift or train must always rush to be number one, despite others who seem to need to get in first more, like the pai kar or handicapped, elderly or with kids type...

Just a few more but more will come as we all know how Singaporeans can be...! Stay tuned!

JeSuS FrEaK

JeSuS FrEaK - Stand out for Jesus!

Do not bother with how peopl view of you as you live a life that is different from the norm, the world's standards! We are different! We are freaks to them!

As there is a generation of christians that are matyred for God, we look at our freedom of worship and stuff but yet we do not treasure such liberty. How ironic? It is those in difficult situations that treasure God & His word more! We need to buck up, wake up & give ourselves a boot!

These christians can lay down their lives for Him. They care not for their own!

What about us?
Our response: I may not get to die for Him but I shall live for Him!

Last Sun Service

What happened during last sun service? I went to church early and had time to sit around. As I did, I read through Ps 34, a passage for this season:

The Lord showed me a few things:
1. That in the passage, we can divide it into problems that we might face
2. The solutions that we can employ
3. The effects that these solutions can have in our lives

Next, I was also showed these:
1. In the earlier verses showed thanksgiving of God for His works and for who He is.
2. Then it was shown that we need to listen to Him (how? Through His words and His Spirit) to learn the fear of the Lord so that we can lead our lives for Him, IN ACTION & SPEECH!
3.In the last part, it shows how our lives are blessed through the above actions.

Simple passage yet much truth!

Then it was joining Jiajun's cell and having some fun with the youths before service! Service was great as usual! Then we had discussions and prayers! I sense the Lord using me again as I avail myself to Him! How long it has been! Then dinner with some cool people and going home..! How I love sundays and church and the people!

Love of God....

God loves you!

Wait a minute to reflect what this statement means! What does it mean when He says He loves you?

For many of us, we are/ need to be
DECIEVED by the Devil with lies about His love.

Many of us feel ashamed to approach Him because of our lives, of our sins, of whatever reasons. Some may be hurt and they do not wish to open their lives to accept love for they fear being hurt again. Many are also hurt that they dare not face God's love for the opening of their wounds trigger strong pain. These hurts can come from people, even in the community of church. In these cases, many decide to run away from His love. I did once, try to run away from Him in a camp. I hid everywhere possible, from people, from Him, even in the toilet... I still cried in the toilet for I felt His love. This was when I understood Ps 139, where can I escape His Presence.... Where?!

Some people also though they are in a group of believers do not believe that they belong. The feeling of isolation and just alone despite in a group of many people. I guess that's when we question God if we are in the right group. So many peopl leave church because of the people and not God. Many leave because they feel no love from church people. It is what they focus on though they should focus on God. I know it is not easy especially when expectations of your cell group is there but many times, they disappoint you the most. There can be so little grace and tolerance in the cell at times. These peopl even 'suan' you till you are hurt. Let's not forget these people are not perfect and what we can do is learn how to deal with them and help them too. But many times we focus on our pain and self-pity that we are decieved and we run away from cell, church and God!

Also, there are many who are in deep trouble or problems that they feel God has forsaken them or they do not understand why they are going through certain things. It is a process of moulding. It is also a consequence of the actions we have taken. There are so many reasons but yet we choose to blame God. It is the easiest thing to do. We always find someone to blame but never ourselves. I do not mean go finding fault with yourself and put yourself through a guilt trip.

There are many reasons why we are decieved. These are just a few that I find very common, particularly for myself.

However, God wants to DELIVER us from these lies! He wants us to know the truth and the way to a happy life! We often forget that we can approach Him without shame for He does not condemn! He accepts us the way we are. He has made us in His image. When we condemn ourselves, we say this: "Wa Kaoz, God huh, You make mistake la, make me until like this!" He cannot be wrong! It's just not possible. So we need to know Him and our worth in Him! Else, we are decieved and we are robbed of the life we deserve! We approach Him in boldness for what Christ has done and in doing so, we can commune with Him and know His will. Then we will lead a life that truly glorifies God. It is also to our own benefit!

Finally, we will lead a DYNAMIC life that is different! We have the power to be different from the world, to live a life of morals that we can hold fast. That is a supernatural life, a life governed and given by God. How often we miss what He has to offer us... This life is simple when we ask God the Father for help, submit ourselves to Jesus our Lord and commune with His Spirit who empowers, edifies and everything else!
