Live each day to the Fullest 30 December 2008


Just before 2008 ends, I shall make one final post, knowing that I won't be home tomorrow. 2008 has been one long journey, with lots of ups and downs. School, family, friends, church, these have been the things surrounding my life this year among many other things. Being an impromptu post, I shan't elaborate much.

This past half year after my holidays have been rather busy. Among projects and test, my dad was in the hospital for a month. And through all circumstances, I could really see who my friends really are, and certainly, there are just so many people not worth mentioning. On the other hand, I'm glad I still have friends who love me. The times we spent together will never be forgotten.

I believe my family has also grown closer with all the hospital visits for one whole month. I thank one and all who have truely given my family so much love and support.
Most importantly, there's no one else above all these things besides God. In all things that have been going on.

These past two weeks, the last 2 of 2008 have really been so meaningful to me. Somehow, I have been able to feel God's pressence and him working in me. He has been so real in my life. He has given me so much love and gave me people who love me so much.

I believe that God is working in my life, showing me signs, telling me what to do, giving me opportunities I never knew they exist. I thank God, for giving me someone to love. Even as Christmas has passed, during this festive month of love and giving, God has assured me all the time. Going for my senior youth retreat yesterday night, God assured me once again with this verse I believe it's so important.

'John 15:12-13 This is my commandment, Love each other in the same way I have loved you, There in no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.'

I believe everyone can find meaning in this verse. Just let God speak to you. And from all that I've been through, I decided on this phrase that I will bring on to 2009.

"Love Giving, Giving Love"

I shall elaborate more on this the next time. In the meantime, do think about it friends. With all these, I wish one and all a blessed New Year ahead. May the love and peace of God be with you always, till the very end of this edge. Amen

Loving you always, Justin.

Merry & Blessed Christmas to one and all! This week has been a busy busy week with so many things going on. Beginning on Christmas eve, I had the most fun time of my life! Gave Grace a surprise over at her place. And guess what, I ended up baking for them from 1pm till 930pm. Hard life. ha.


I had alot of fun, though the first few tries were rather disappointing. But I think practise does make perfect, though I still think they weren't that good. Well, it's my first try OK! And after a long day of baking, I went over to Yishun Christian Church for their Christmas countdown service. The people there are nice! =D I think, this is one of the most fun christmas eve's and christmas I ever had. Well, nothing beats spending time with the people you love. Back home at 1 odd, slept only at almost 4?


Went to church the next morning for Christmas service. And then it was party with the peeps at night, courtesy of Melissa. To cut things short, here were the pictures of that night!

Loads of feasting and gatherings yesterday. From lunch to dinner. I didn't eat much myself though.

First stop - DG Christmas Potluck Lunch at Sheau Ching's place. Being potluck, we had alot of food. And I think we had the most carbos and desserts. Fried rice, beehoon, lasagna, potato salad - for carbos, grapes, watermelon, 2 pound cakes, cheng teng - for dessert. What's more, we still has some chicken salad, curry chicken, roast duck, roast meat. Just imagine how much was left.



After all that feasting, Daniel, Dawn and I went over to causeway point to waste some time away. In the end, we watched YES MAN. Really nice, funny and touching show starring our favourite Jim Carrey. It was certainly freezing inside, with me wearing short pants, slippers, and no jacket. ha.

And after that I took the MRT down with Daniel to City Hall, and went down all the way to Pasir Ris, which leads me to my 2nd stop of the day...

NYPPC BBQ/Chalet as downtown east chalet.
After contemplating for so long if I should actually head down to this gathering, I decided to go, and certainly, I didn't regret my choice. I would have regretted if I didn't go because that would mean, missing out and so much fun & getting to know more friends at the same time!




I must say, I met so many nice people, especially my seniors from NYPPC that are really senior. lol. Went off at about 1030pm? Took the bus back with Grace, my new found friend. ha. Sent her home, and home I was at 1230am++

<3 U Guys!

Was out at Zouk yesterday at 9pm till this morning at 3am! Went with Jeronme & KM to support Mel's SIM-UOL Pagent thing. Soon, we were joined by others, mostly our juniors from CHR. Didn't drink much though, just jugs of Gin-Lime & Vodka-Coke. I'm glad they use Bombay Gin which made their drink nice!

A Lambo event at Velvet
Had quite some fun, though it got rather tiring when the music seemed great, but dancing seemed boring when the moves are the same, and we weren't high enough to carry on dancing. Had fun dancing with lots of different people though. All of us ended up occupying the 3 level raised floor. ha. Lots of people feeling high & drunk. Rested, relaxed, had supper and home we went.


<3 U GUYS!!!

Once again, the weekends were spent with my lovely peeps from class 4E3. We seem to be hanging out more often these days. Mel & Jawad came over, had some light food, then we went over to Al-Ameen to meet Pei Wan, who braved through the jammed packed customs to come meet us, Soon Wee and Joel. Haresh came over later with his car and we were off to Mt Faber, Henderson Waves! Amazingly, there were alot of people at like 12,1am? even parents bringing their kids out, and even uniform groups hiking there. Really good weather we had, breezy and cool. We even catched a glimpse of fireworks from ZoukOut.


Following that, we went over to Jalan Kayu for more food! Stayed up till almost 4 and home we went. And by the way, I had to wake up at 6, be in church at 745am, and I was playing drums. ha. Thank God for the energy and strength he gave to me.

**FYI, pictures are taken using my lumix and not a DSLR. =D

Due to my boredness, exhaustion, and laziness, this blog can sometimes get stagnant.

Just some brief updates:
1. Holidays have started & that means the start of I don't know how many projects.
2. As of tomorrow(13/12, my dad has been in the hospital for 1 month(4weeks)
3. I'll be playing the drums on Sunday after I think a year or more of not playing.

I can't remember when was the last time I touched my camera due to so many happenings around this period. I decided to take them out, go to school, and shoot a concert, Foreign Bodies - School of Groove.


Editting's in the progress, will update them on my Flickr soon... My hands are aching after all that shooting and editting...

Chunk Fest on Saturday with my class peeps! I doubt we enjoyed the festival though. It was freaking MUDDY!!! Went over to selegie to have tau hui and then went over to Joel's house to catch a movie.


And this morning, and I mean 12am onwards, Joel and I were over at Mel's house till it started to rain at 3 plus. And it was freaking cold. ha. Enjoyed talking through the night... If you could be a _________ what would you be? ha. Went home at 6am.

I just can't believe it rained the entire day. There didn't seem to be day at all. Slept all the way to 3, and went over to church to jam. I'm finally back on the drums again. =D

My dad seemed pretty well over the last few days, everyone thought he could go back today. But just yesterday, my mum found him not to be feeling well. The doctors gave him a check, and now they found water in the heart area, and that could have been causing him to caugh. And so they decided that they had to do a procedure to remove the fluid which meant they had to cut a small hole where they had cut in the very first place.

They brought him in to icu again to prepare for the op. Everyone just seemed so busy around him. I was so tired and exhausted myself even though I didn't eat my medicine. I was on MC, but I still went on to school and then to the hospital. And today, I was too tired to get up.

Seeing tubes all over my dad once again really was painful. It just hurts my heart to see tubes all over again and again. My emotions certainly weren't stable. I really wanted to cry but I had to hold them back.

Walking in and out of the ICU, waiting for the nurses to prepare for the op, seeing more and more tubes being inserted in, more and more medicine/chemicals being put in. I just couldn't bear the sight I nearly fainted.

As time went by, we waited for the time he could do the op. Something one of the surgeons said even shocked me. He said that the LA could just make the heart stop, and that would one of the risks of the op. It just seemed so shocking. But we believe that all are in God's hands.

The time came, my dad went for the op. I remember it was 10.45pm when he got wheeled in. The op would take about an hour but the surgeon called us at 11.30pm, telling us it was finished. Waited for my dad to be wheeled out, check on him, and we were off. Seing even more tubes on him. Especially the tube that went all the way down to his lungs, it certainly isn't something comfortable, and I really hated seeing that thing there.

Throughout all, God was there, beginning to end. His presence just makes us feel assured, knowing that he's in control of everything. In all things, I just know that though men will fail me, God will never leave nor forsake me.

To those who have not experienced God's goodness and power, I believe what my dad and my family has gone through, is something you should expereince yourself in a similar way. To know that God's always there, is the most assuring thing above anything else.

Besides all these, I would like to thank my friends again. And I think the many thanks said will never be able to say how much I really mean them.

Just yesterday, when I was going down to visit my dad, Joel called me asking me if I was going to visit my dad, and that his dad was coming to pick us up at Bukit Batok. There and then, I was in the train at B. Batok, talking to him in the train. The door seemingly did not close all the while I was talking to him. Coincidence? I believe not. I believe it was God working in every aspect that was going on. Thank you so much Joel, you've been a whole load of encouragement to me.

And there's Shijun, my best friend. Not knowing who I should talk to, she'll always be a phone call away. Thank you so much BFF, no one will ever be able to take that place.

Thank you mel, cos seemingly, you seem to be the only christian I can message in times like these. It's the assurance that you give me sometimes that make me feel loved.

Thank you all so much. I love you guys! =D

[291108]Celebrated Pei Wan's Birthday! So many birthdays in a week. Newton Circus for food, then over to the Singapore Flyer, then over to the esplanade, bukit timah for supper, and finally, we slacked outside CHR. Wasn't much of activities planned. It's the company that counts! =D







Considering the thought of love being more than just what love is...
