Thank you for making this birthday the most enjoyable and memorable one I have ever had!!!

First of all, please give some comments to the look of this plate of fried rice. 这是我第一次炒得比较像样的炒饭。Hehe... I think it looks nice and tastes nice too! However you all can only look at but cannot taste my masterpiece.

Anyway, I had a third birthday celebration this week! Haha... This time its with my church friends, Xiaoling, Mei Foong and Wai Yee. We went to Marina Bay to have BBQ and steamboat for just $12! We enjoyed ourselves and talked a lot and ATE a lot. Thank you for spending time for having such an enjoyable dinner with me. Great to have friends like you all.

This is a big clam that took ages to open its shell...

Lets cook!

Full liao...

The mess we created...

Thank you to all out there to make my 19th birthday such a special one!

我期待已久的电影终于来了！！！好兴奋！！！

Happy Birthday to Me!

Things doesn't go well for my first week of July... Firstly, I was down with diarrhoea, then with constipation (well, only some friends knew why this happened, I am not going to say it here, coz its super embarrassing...), then with flu, then with chest pain... All kinds of illness came at the same time... As for my chest pain, I had to rush to the hospital to see what was happening as the pain was kind of intolerable and at last it was found out to be muscle inflammation or muscle exertion, coz there were no problems with my heart or lungs or whatsoever... （简直就是有惊无险）. Anyway, thank God for that...

However even through all this stuff, I went to Min Min's birthday celebration and got an early surprise birthday celebration all at the same time!!! A BIG THANKS TO LE-FU FAMILY!!! Actually I already started to suspect that something cheeky (go pronounce this word, Kelvin, ahaha...) was going on when we reached the restaurant. Apple and Shu Hui were talking to the waitress about the celebration later, then I saw some really beautiful cakes beside them and walked over to see the price, suddenly, Apple shooed me off, haha... Then she check whether the coast was clear before she continue with the conversation. I was like hmmm... what's going on, however, after that I did not pay too much attention, even though they dropped hints, you all should thank me for being not sensitive, if not, not suprising le mar right??? Then when the staff sang the Birthday song (actually one for Min Min, one for me), I totally did not here my name for my version, I was totally clueless and everyone was abit sian coz I no reaction... It was later when Lefu family sang the birthday song again, then I was abit stun... Haha... Min Min told me that even though its her birthday she quite sian, coz she knows whats going to happen long time ago liao but nevermind coz after that you were stunned by our birthday card right??? And you all go stun me back with the birthday card you all gave me yesterday, more stupid expression then min min's one, give me a scare sia... Anyway thank you for all the cards and the two T-shirts, nice man, thanks thanks... VERY TOUCHING (feel like crying liao, what rubbish, kidding only, haha...)

Anyway we went to New York, New York to have our celebration, quite a nice restaurant with cosy little rooms which eventually we chose to squeeze in. There is also a cotton candy making machine, all the girls went to have a try, while we boys waited at our seats for the candy. Haha... Food was nice, portion was exceptionally BIG, but service was abit of a letdown... but who cares, we had fun that night... After that, we went to the esplanade to have a walk and saw the floating stage for NDP this year, they were testing the colour lights when we were there, very nice sia... Then after that, Min Min, Xue Ting and I took a cab home, Min Min who has no sense of direction was being laughed at by the Taxi driver, she can't differentiate 左右 haha... Ok ok, enough of talking, photos sharing time...

This is our 巨人与小矮人, ahaha...

As for on the very day itself, I also recieved a few suprises, they are cards from my friends! They are damn special, one is a paper areoplane with Cathay Pacific written on it, the other is the one I mentioned above that contains many "ugly expressions" of me. At night, my parents brought me to Ajisen for dinner. Yum yum... Anyway, thanks thanks, to be frank, this is the happiest birthday I have ever experienced, thanks to all who made my birthday such a memorable one!

看神雕侠侣小说， 学华文

Recently, I have been reading Return of the Condor Heroes novel, I must say Jin Yong's 文笔 is really good... He is really a genious, the way how he brings you through the story, the way he describes... I think I also learnt quite a lot of ways one can describe things in Chinese. I think nowadays, a lot of youngsters lack the opportunity or do not even want to read such books, the moment they see the whole chunk of chinese words, they will faint, if you force them to read, they will die... Its a pity that they do not appreciate such great masterpieces, they do not know what they are missing out... Ofcourse, while reading, I will also compare the book with the different versions I have watched before, I just realize that the 06 version sticks really close to the novel.

Here are the actresses that played as Jin Yong's most classic character, Xiao Long Nv... I would choose Carmen Lee in the 95 version and Liu Yi Fei in the 06 version as the best portrayal of Xiao Long Nv, what do you think then?


Left: 陈玉莲 83’ 神雕侠侣, Right: 李若彤 95’ 神雕侠侣, I like this version too.



Left: 范文芳 98’ 神雕侠侣，a so so protrayal of the character... Right: 吴倩莲 99’ 神雕侠侣， I heard this version was a total failure, what is Xiao Long Nv doing in black, oh my...


刘亦菲，06’ 神雕侠侣，my favourite version, one of the best protrayal of Xiao Long Nv after 李若彤's Xiao Long Nv...

罪的力量。。。

人此终还是得面对罪的捆绑，人是软弱的，即使有一位渴望救我们的神，很多时候，我们都会自甘堕落。。。我已近很怕被罪恶捆绑的感觉，但自己还是被它拉得紧紧的，逃也逃不掉。。。我记得一位牧师说过，罪让人愚昧，的确，真的是这样。。。一想到神会对他的子女感到失望的时候，我又感到很惭愧。也许我们真的要保护我们的心，免得被那恶者攻击。。。这时候的我应该回到神那里吧。。。可能罪也是一种对我们的提醒，提醒我们是软弱的，提醒我们该是回到父那里去的时候了。。。希望这次不会再让父伤心了。。。


共勉之。。。


Term 1 just came to an end... Time for a some reflection... Time for some changes... Am I going to be like that forever, when is it going to stop? Question post by God, I think... Time to stop being childish and start working with protecting my own heart... Hope this would not be just a short term thing, hope that God will bring me through, overcome this, hope it will be a practice for the rest of my life... I really want to be want God wants me to be...

Pray list for next term
1. Time management
2. Time for God
3. Temper control
4. Pray for stress management... Looks like there is too much work going on...

Da Tu Ku Shui!!!

School reopens... Frankly speaking, my heart is filled with fear for this semester because I am going to face my major project (MP), as my programming skills is really so so, this really adds on to the stress. I was further burdened when I got to know my MP is an external MP! Our supervisor really stress me out when he said things such as "all of you are specially chosen", "all of you must do a good job for this MP, as it is the first time FCO (the company) is outsourcing to IT students like you"!!! I guess I have nothing to say as this is what God has planned for me for the semester... Haiz... Our MP is also bound to start later than other people, because of the lack of requirements and the thing is our deadline is the same as everybody else!!! I think I can die of stress and fatigue I get from MP in the future... Our MP requirements came out yesterday, I still haven't really read about it... Anyway, my MP is called eSIP 08, its actually a system used by SIP students and our goal is to add new features to the existing system...

Recently, my spiritual life is quite stagnant, I do not have the motivation to do QT... I have been busy with life and even if I have the time, I will be indulged in some kind of entertainment. I remember last Sunday's sermon by Uncle James and what we share during the fellowship, I think I really need to say to myself, "Enough of such stuff!" as this things does not have eternal value... I also felt my testimony in school is getting nowhere. I think its time for me to go back to God, as I think its God's reminder that I am starting to go astray... In the same time I think its time that I learn some EQ, I think I don't know how to handle human relationships well yet... Haiz...

On a happier note, my Shen Diao fever come back again. Oh my, Return of the Condor Heroes (ROCH) is really my most favourite story ever! The latest version of ROCH is airing in Singapore now, everyone must go and watch, its the best version ever! Liu Yi Fei's Xiao Long Nu is the best I have ever seen, somemore she is so pretty. Haha... Anyway, quite alot of people have this fever with me since the latest ROCH version was out, before that was Jing Qiang, now is Wai Yee and Olivia. Haha...
