*I had to edit this entry coz stupid charmdisaster infiltrated and sabotaged my blog.*
Hi every peoplezz~ I know I havn't updated in a long time and you guys are bored coming here and seeing the same old crap over and over again when your taking those mugger breaks.
Well today I'll write a nice long one before I go to dinner for you fellaz k? Ok cool~
Anyway we had that party on saturday as planned. It was pretty fun la with the AC guys alot of people were there to mug so sian. Should have waited till after the mid years to hold a party. Maybe I will... hmmx. Yeah good idea. We brought up all the gear from the basement to practice and jam our songs for sunday. Robyn brought muffins for us to eat which was such a nice thing to do, you go RobZ I'll buy a cake if I can afford it this sunday k? Then must gimme cookies too:D! We swam, played soccer in a shit infested garden, played pool.... TRIED TO TEACH stoopido girls how to play pool. It was a disasterous affair. Liz managed to make the white ball curl around corners and held the cue like an M-16. Maybe she should sign on. Most Chio recruit award. Lolx. I won't talk about the rest of that time, the mg girls were mugging inside dozing all over my big pillows.
Then we went for worship practice which took a long time but a good experience all around la. Night time I tried to do a lounge singer act for my buddies who sang happy birthday to me (bless u guys but it was quite a while back yes? I hid under the table.) but my voice died on me then my hand got tired and my lenses dried out. So it was rather sad, rather. They still clapped though so nice of them.
Worship:EVERYTHING broke DOWN. But we still had a good worship. But after all that I was super tired and nearly collapsed from lack of everything. Then everyone went home to mug so SAD. SAD SAD SAD.
Ok monday came along and we borrowed the entire season 1 of CSI and watched it all day long with some gaming and smallville and anime and stuff... WELL USED DAY OF SLACKING!!! I went to cut out some newspaper articles on universities in australia and contemplated some farnie combinations..hmmmx then my mum gave me some social concerns stuff that I could be doing... dare I risk going out day after day? What if they call me and I'm not at home. DISASTER!!So I continue to contemplate what to do with my slacker life. HMMX HMMX HMMX...
Tuesday I watched even more CSI in the morning it's just sooo darn addictive. Oh and we breezed through battle royale 2 which sucked worse then the first one (it's a movie where every one dies alot...). Then Delia and I went on the kinda shopping spree that I used to go out with with some of my perth friends. The kind when compulsive buyer Ben would buy many many things and be left flat broke! Let's see I got myself a pair of jeans, 2 T-shirts (one had MONKEYS on it!), a cd and 2 bandanas. While Delia, looked at alot of stuff, looked even more looked and lookedddddd and bought 2 tops. After 5 hours. 2. sigh. oh ya and lots of bread. We had alot of fun though talked about everything under the sun and nothing at all. Well all good things must come to an end and that ended with Ben having to take a tooting bus all the way from AC which I have not done in forever and I was sooo tired that I came home and... watched more CSI. Which rocks btw.
Unlike Charmdisaster who destroys all in her path. A walking piece of destruction. Charmaine sucks. Alot. Really.
Then wednesday passed without much thought. Went for dinner with Melvin, Char...too long(from now one its Char) and Dan. Melvin paid for our food coz we lead worship for him coz he couldn't do it. Aww so sweet.
Then we went to Char house to watch american idiot and CSI Miami (which rox most of the time except this time where it sucked.) Her cat nearly killed a poor bird (it's gonna be ok). Clarence's fish jumped out of its tank and commited hara kiri. It's the Chua gene it's meant for destruction. If you see a Chardisaster coming then run for your life. None can stand the rage that is CHAR!
Oh ya and Teri cut her hair hehe so nice! :D (Contrary to what she thinks)(( Char also disturbed her. Can you imagine? SIGH))
Finally, TOMORROW I GET MY CAR BACK! YES!
FRIDAY I have to go see the doctor... One more month, PLEASE!!! PLEASEEEE!!!!!
Ok i'm done haha, bye allzz..

I got dejavu just sitting there with Kevin and Ming, me and my trusty shotgun blowing up zombies left right and centre, dodging their bites, knocking their heads off~ Wah lao GOOD times la. Too bad the ending was so crappy, I would have just stayed in the gun shop and killed all the zombies with all the guns there, and the gas bombs... and the baseball bat and the crow bars... Wah lao zombie killing is sooo fun. After that we went to Kev's place to continue our watching of the CSI marathon. Managed to squish in 3 episodes before brain became full. Den went to my place to watch Smallville 317. After that we all said our good byes to Kev the man who is going tekong. Sigh everyone is going to tekong so SAD! Yado also, aiyah but Yado was built for army la it will be so easy for him. So I went to the gym today and ran for 30 minutes now my legs kinda dead in the water.

WORLD MUG
A Prose by Benjamin Phua
The World is at mug.
As I crawl from fox hole to fox hole, I see the carnage of teenagers being crushed by the tanks of TYSes and Text books. A cloud of despair grew larger as I approached the mug front.
The smell of fear seeps through mine nose, this is not a good place at all.
The JCers, veterans of the O Level wars, were getting massacred by the heavy gun fire at the A Level front, the smart ones were keeping their heads down and making sure they were completely covered by the consistancy tiger teeth, there were a few gung ho ones, taking their chances, with a running charge. Grace under fire, some of them made it out with a few minor scratches, unfortunately we lost alot of good men that day.
The battle was not over, the great exam war machines had not yet been mobilized. How many would be left after that great battle?
As an observer in the great World Mug, I was against the violence that was taking part. Glad that I was not involved. But I couldn't help but wonder. Is it all worth it? Is it really all worth it?
The enemy stared me in the eye.
I rolled up the sleeve that tagged me as a slacker. The one thing that protected me from the wars.
Only God knows...
Lol that was fun to write. Mug on!! Everyone!

I just noticed all the young people I know are really quite matured people. Da MG insanity clan, the way cool generation Y of ACS, a few hmm no more like 2 former SC Girls (Why so few SC people in our church ar?). The army guys (Ok these guys are my age but I'm still kinda one year older coz I've been in it for one year more.)
But all muggers SIGH..................... Even the AC guys wah lao wad you guys mugging for man... siGH.
*I'm j/king btw go and study. Argh.
They're all maturing nice and fast, may make them get shunned by their peers but the most important thing is to not take all these wisdom and maturity and saying that oh I'm better than my friends. That's pride and pride leads to bad things. So love everyone as you would like everyone else to love you, treat everyone fairly without compromising your obedience to God. And don't worry about the wisdom that comes your way because all God wants for you to do is to step out of this world that we live in and the things of this world and step into the Godly supernatural way of life. Which is so much better btw, so don't hesistate coz nothing in this world could compare to what God has to offer you.
When he said that you would be born again, there is nothing abstract about it. You will literally be born again in mind and in spirit. I can remember how I was like before I chose to be closer to God (not perfectly btw I still fall all the time) and to become more like Jesus Christ. And I some times regret that I didn't have take the chance to do it earlier. Well it's all God's perfect timing.

To all the muggers of the BRMC world,
Please PLEASE PLEASE study before you come for the party! Coz if you don't do well for the mid years it will be very SAD and BAD.
So PLEASE STUDY FIRST!@

Ben the slacker.

Woke up at 10:30 to the sounds of Charmaine calling to pick up her double bass, I wonder what Xiao and her are up to with all the photo shoots and band instruments...I'll ask them later.
And as suspected my body aches to the bone. I wanna go gym with Kevin later but I fear I might just fall apart. Ming is bored as well so we might just get together for some hang time maybe watch a flick. I wanna watch My Girl but it's not showing anymore... sux.
This week I decided that I should do worship, not for the sake of worship but to express my love of God through kick ass LOUD, MEANINGFUL, DISTORTION, ROCK music, followed by a sampling of some wonderful mellow, slow songs. Remember guys and gals, worship is not for our benefit. The emotional shiok feeling in your spirit will not always be there, so just remember who you're singing to and let your worship be from both your mind (your understanding of God) and your spirit (reaching for God).
But still, be prepared to get your socks knocked off coz I'm not about to let them turn down the music to that small whisper that I got when I was playing distortion for Beng's band. Nothing selfish about it, I just want to share the experience with my friends, for those who don't really enjoy loud music, please feel welcome to sit at the back or bring ear plugs.
Shouldn't take more than 1 1/2 hours so we'll be done by 730 then can go back and have more party.
I still want to have my party, so please muggers I really hope you people can make it, PLEASE mug in the morning and come in the afternoon! PWEEZZ~~
The plan is basically to come in the afternoon, those who need to go home and mug more can leave before we go to practice. The others are welcome to stay and use my facilities coz we'll be back by 730 then we can hang out till about 11 and then go home to prepare our energy for the next day's activites. :)
Plan for Ben's house party. Not really birthday considering my birthday was on the 10th of Apr. Don't feel obliged to bring gifts. :P
12:30 - Start (A.k.a Eat before coming if you can)
12:30 to 17:45 - Play pool, soccer, basketball, swim, jam, karaoke, watch movies, play video games, hang out. (I hope there arn't many cars parked outside nanyang coz if there are we're gonna smash them with our game playing. lol)
17:45 - Band members, older members go down to BRMC to set up and practice.
19:30 - Return to Ben's house to eat. Fellowship.
23:00 - Go home and sleep.
So basically the muggers can study as long as they want during the day coz they can come anytime in the afternoon. In fact if you fellas wanna mug you can go to my attic and study. Please bring your swimming attire coz likeliness you're gonna get thrown in the swimming pool. Sports people please bring your sport attire and shoes, at worst we can play soccer in the park. Basketball is fine coz we can just roll the net outside. Jammers, I have a keyboard, 2 electric guitars, a drumset, 1 marshall amp, one keyboard amp, one bass amp, one peavy amp, 2 mikes. So if you really wanna jam might be best to bring your own stuff. I'll prepare some song lists so we can pick stuff to jam without looking like a bunch of fools. If you want to sing without the hassle of bands we can even sing karaoke. My PS 2 is kinda broken so the computer in my room only will allow one player the enjoyment of a P4 3.06 Ghz with lots of cool equipment and a really uber mouse for the hardcore gamer. For movie watchers, I'll ask my parents to let you guys use their room to watch movies on their flat screen. I'll try and organise a dinner with my mum coz she knows caterers. Please tell me how many of you are staying for dinner so I can organise. Top that off I'll play single acoustic and vocals for your dinner entertainment. Then after that the people still around can just hang out in my living room and we can fellowship~
Please give feedback after the entire thing, maybe we can have these kinda things on a more regular basis :)

Sunday, April 18, 2004
Another Sunday goes by, I'm so darn tired after playing soccer yesterday and playing captain's ball/ basketball today. My legs are hurting all over, nevermind this could mean my next 1 month mc... hehheh.
So on saturday Yao came over to hang out and just basically chill. He's going through the army initiation phase right now, looks so darn tired. Then the AC B guys came down to play soccer in my tiny little garden smashing all the flowers and plants and pots and dropping the ball in the fountain. I bet the gardener was damn pissed off with us destroying his stuff.. ah well. To top that off we kept hitting each others' feet and the soccer ball was so hard so I got blue black all over and blisters. ARgh. Then we went to watch Saturday Night Fever which I was so unkeen to watch sia, I never really appreciated musicals until I saw this one la. It was ownage, the dancing was killer, the songs were awesome and it was the tight shirt bellbottom era. How cool is that la. I was hooked from beginning to end. Btw my sister and I also got to check out a live jazz band outside the esplanade. The drummer was some super man who could play so fast and proly, wads worse? He did it while closing the eyes, "feeling" the music. Pro sia... I was stunned. Too bad got no guitarist for me to leech skill off...
Sunday came as it usually does. Woke up at 7:30 thinking about stuff again, insomiatic when my mind is full. Majority was saturday night fever man. I got the fever! Staying aLIVE~~ Anyway we were supposed to jam but everyone who I asked to come who was younger had to mug and the majority of the AC boys went to watch hell boy which is crap but they still watched it. Xiao and Charmaine were busy so ya it wasn't too fun. Well pool was alright la, the ladies who did come (Kaye, Claire and Liz) saw the MG photos and stuff but I should be a better host la fortunately Liz went home to mug and Kaye and Claire did Amath with my sister so I averted disaster. The guys jammed and played pool so it was alright la. Oh we went to eat at the chinese restruant, like ADULTs la. We ordered the super cool dumplings which Dan and Yado decimated wasting their wonderful flavour. Did I mention I have no normal friends? hheheh. As usual Yado was acting the complete fool and Dan came along for the doofus ride. We all had a good laugh but seriously so embarassing I hope we didn't insult their shop too badly with our stupid antics. Teri was falling asleep for some reason, too much work I guess. Cheryl was dropping stuff everywhere, hehe. Claire and Liz were sitting pretty listening to my old buddies do stupid things. Seriously what do you think of these peopel I had to study with them for 4 years la.
Ok my entry is kinda jumping from everywhere, tired la can't concentrate. So we went for games and I improved on my jumpshot which has gone down the drain since I stopped playing in college. I think I'm hitting about 60-70 percent from inside the key but outside is still abit off. So tired really strained myself today.
Oh oh! What was the most fun was we pulled out a Chat Teh and we started trying to pass it around to do at least 10 hits in mid air! Took nearly an HOUR, we suck SOOoOoo BAD. Justin Khoo (who was so bored), Evan, Chang, Dan and myself stood under a lamp in the corridor trying our very best to hit it more than 5 or 6 times it was quite sad really but damn fun~
Oh I really enjoy these kind of weekends. I have to start preparing for the party this saturday I hope everyone can go :( so depressing if they all decide to MUG. ARGH MUG! Now I know why Chang whines about them all the time wah lao it's so annoying! Roar! DUN MUG!!! NoOOoooOO!!
Hehhe bye peepz too tired time for the bed.

I think I'm hitting about 60-70 percent from inside the key but outside is still abit off. So tired really strained myself today.
Oh oh! What was the most fun was we pulled out a Chat Teh and we started trying to pass it around to do at least 10 hits in mid air! Took nearly an HOUR, we suck SOOoOoo BAD. Justin Khoo (who was so bored), Evan, Chang, Dan and myself stood under a lamp in the corridor trying our very best to hit it more than 5 or 6 times it was quite sad really but damn fun~
Oh I really enjoy these kind of weekends. I have to start preparing for the party this saturday I hope everyone can go :( so depressing if they all decide to MUG. ARGH MUG! Now I know why Chang whines about them all the time wah lao it's so annoying! Roar! DUN MUG!!! NoOOoooOO!!
Hehhe bye peepz too tired time for the bed.

AWESOME! You guys have to check out this forum:- http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/. Go to the Hillsong requests thread and search through for all your More than Life needs. Noise is good. :)
Anyway yesterday was pretty darn fun. The dances were pretty swell even though I don't know the technical aspects of it like some people, I thought the standard of the dancers in schools today are pretty good. (Same idea as in choir if you go to a place with normal people to perform, no one is gonna be able to tell whether you suck or not if you just sing relatively in tune.). But that's just me :). Claire did her hip hop bouncey bouncey dance which was quite cool, somemore get to stand in the middle wah lao so cool la. Too bad Jac missed it~ Nevermind you both must keep your flowers alive!
We were super late! Then Jac called to scold me never bring the flowers then I pushed the blame to Michelle! Sorry Michelle I didn't mean to! So we stuffed all our fries in our mouthes and ran up MG hill which was a killer trip coz the little puny girls kept stopping half way and bouncing off me. Then we took the hidden short cut to cut across the grass plains so cool sia... lol.
Sitting with Cheryl, Teri, Michelle, Deanne and Jon is quite noisy, loud and stupid but fun! What's worse at the back of us are the young AC people who are wondering why a old man like me is there and the young MG people who are wondering why a old man like me is there. Sigh~ So basically there was alot of noise. I saw a few familiar faces who when I knew them they were like erh... small. Teri was whining about how hot it was and that she was itchy all over. So scared to take off her sweater coz she was wearing a spagetti strap underneath. (It's ok for girls to wear spagetti straps wad?!) And wow first time I saw her wear a skirt. (Should wear more often. (Btw Teri the picture you told me to delete I sneakily kept it hoho I have a picture of teri in a skirt! Should I show the world? Hmmmmmm~~~) and Cheryl was just Cheryl la, she brought sweets so I stole some coz she ate so many of my erh birthday present. Heheh. She left her books in her classroom and Jon and I went up to check out how a MG class room looks like. It's almost the same as a AC class room just super small. So we took silly pictures of Cheryl and Gilly sitting on books so that they would be taller than me. Quite retarded, I think we were all abit high... They wasted my battery by randomly taking pictures of everything and Teri wasted battery by not SMILING PROPERLY when she was supposed to! She hid under her sweater! She made funny faces! ARGH!!! And what's worse the both of them PIAKED me! SO PAIN ARGH! Some of the dances really suggestive but aiyah its dance la so it's alright. I think all the sexy sexy dances were the cause of my nose bleed later that evening. Bleed so dang much!
And when we had to move around to get to places many little girls bounced off me. It was soo retarded.
Thanks to Cheryl and Claire for inviting me to the Dance night~
I'm gonna post the pictures from dance night soon. Guys don't drool too much at the girls you might get nose bleed. Not cool.

Wah lao I'm going for a girl school thing for the first time without any criminal intention! Who says growing up is bad!
Anyway I went out with Kev today to help him and his friend get into the army groove. Taught them the 101 art of surviving army when you're a clerk... We bought all their stuff and went to his house to get his big ass power house of a bmw and went to pick up one of his old council mates for lunch. I like hanging out with Kev he's alot like the person I want to become. :) So we went down to SICC and we had fun talking and acting like we were big shots when the memberships were actually our parents' hahahah~ It was damn fun. Then went to the SICC gym to hang out with my 2 Brudders Man and Ahmad who are 2 of the best fitness instructors I know man... Man is abit mellow these days I think he's getting bored of his job. Ahmad is still as philosopical (how to spell argh...) as ever, wonderful how a man can find peace with the world by not being one of the majority. I wonder if he's christian... Anyway during this entire time my handphone was in my bag so I missed all of Jac's messages to buy flowers for her friends so I went out to get the flowers which cost me a DOLLAR each. So guys and gals if you're gonna get flowers go to coronation plaza (I promised I would advertise it!) I mean roses at a dollar with wrapping, ribbon and card. Wah lao fantastic la~ and sunflowers and other flowers which are all very nice.
Then the worst thing happened, on the way back I noticed I left my bag at coro. Had to CYCLE all the way back like an idiot to pick it up and nearly died of exhaustion after all the exertion at the gym. This carelessness is one of my BIGGEST weaknesses. God please help me get it right.... It's things like this which get me into trouble! Confinement during weekends during my army time. Sigh~ army SIGH! hahahah~
Jamming this sunday man! Then the others can go play pool and stuff like the good old days... After dance night going out with AC (I) Buddies to watch Kill Bill2 which we erh la la... if not that something la just go out and hang out fellowship you know...
Tomorrow got Saturday Night Fever man wah lao TIGHT shirts and bell bottom pants all round man BRING IT! I will survive~ Staying alive ha ha ha ha staying a liveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ack ack ack. Aiyah I hope it's good i dowan to die of boredom. I damn scared of musicals.....
OH YA the tekong Barker guys are coming out this weekend heheh saturday afternoon is settled...
Morning? Maybe ask the (I) guys to play basketball or go down to Kev's house to watch anime~ Full metal panic man best anime this year!
Sunday late afternoon got games if it doesn't rain which I don't think it will la. Then at night probably stay up late to play CZ, CS, ET and UT2004.
My weekends are my work days :D. Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu = slack. Fri, Sat, Sun = FUN.

Man I really needed a mp3 player, I try not to regret buying the monster called the Xen Xtra but for the size and battery life I think this was a worthwhile investment. I've forgetten my love for music outside of the Christian context, now I'm listening to everything from alternative rock to love songs to punk to metal. Mostly rock, mustn't get ahead of myself some of these basic techniques I havn't been putting effort to refine yet.
Another plus is that it blocks out the buzzing in my ears which is caused by permanent hearing damage from going to too many loud concerts without ear plugs. Please people, bring ear plugs this buzzing sound can be really annoying if you're in a quiet room.

Argh today I got ripped off of 30 bucks. I really hope I never have to be a sales man in this kind of business... all these shops sell the same thing and I purposely wrote down all the sales pitches of these people so I could get the best possible price for an mp3 player. The first one was the IRiver ownage toy which was actually 680 and I was actually thinking about it but after that ADD GST become 730 sigh at least that guy was pretty honest. The person I bought my brand new Muvo2 from actually used a word play and actually lured me into a false sense of security before murmuring the actual price of the product after I paid for it then...argh I feel so stupid. The next time I buy something like this I'm going to be extremely suspicious of sales people. At least this time was 30 dollars (THE THINGS I COULD DO WITH 30 DOLLARS!), next time could be much worse. I must be more careful next time.
On the plus side I bought a 4 gig Muvo2 for 429 dollars which is 50 dollars below retail but I actually found a shop which sold it for 390. Argh. But nevermind live and learn. It's really a uber toy. Then I started to think hey wow that 30 gig version would have been great but I have a budget so we can't always have everything we want...
Yes today was a fruitful day, thank God for the trials that come my way.
Btw I love my new Muvo2! I wanna spray it blue! Hmmmx... now that's an idea :)

Can't help feeling abit bored, some times I just like to dwell in self pity and that by itself is just downright stupid.
I went down to orchard with Xiao Hui to go techie shopping, heh she hasn't changed much since the time I knew her which is a blessing considering our ever changing world. My grandma was so scared coz I had a girl come up to my room and I was half way through my workout. Come to think of it I should have put on a shirt after swimming... hahah well it's fun to worry granny from time to time :P but the worst thing happened when she told my mother who told my sister which resulted in an invasion of my privacy which resulted in them being a bunch of goondus who were looking for something which wasn't there. Chinese traditions don't allow girls to enter boy's bedrooms, go figure.
Well the hanging out with Xiao just further proved how much life can change within a few months coz she thought that every word that was coming out of my mouth for the first 10 minutes of talking with her was sarcastic, fake humility, money grubbing and stupid. Was I really like that in secondary school? Ah well we were all a little silly back then anyway. Well in the end I just kept quiet the entire time and let her do all the talking. I really had no idea how to act.... so I used my back up plan of just smiling and nodding.
Now I understand what God meant by not being able to show love for others by being solitary. Coz I don't learn how to love different kinds of people. Through fellowship I can learn important lessons. Hmm, interesting. Well I guess I learnt something important yesterday~ Thank God. But how to fellowship when you're more or less in a rut? I think he may be calling me to go back to the army and forget about the other operations. Hmm we'll know on the 30th of Apr.
Anyway a continuation of the rest of the day. I found this really REALLY big fAT mp3 "harddrive" style 30 Gig player called the Xen Xtra (Ya Xtra Fat) which was going at 480 buckaros which was the same price that the Ipod 10 Gig was going for. Which made me tell the Ipod to go fly kite. I wasn't too happy though coz the Xen Xtra was really huge and had a number of flaws which made it a lower end player. But it was a killer deal coz they were selling it at nearly half the retail price... So I had to keep the offer.
Anyway Xiao gave up on the idea of buying an mp3 player deciding instead to get a all-in-wonder called the Clie or the really uber toy called the O2 XDA 2 goodness even typing it is cool. A Pocket PC/ Phone/ Camera. What more do you need man? What more do you need? Well the price was a bit steep, so I couldn't even think about it. Well good for her la. My family doesn't believe in giving me things anymore, and if they do they make sure I suffer for it. So basically I just steal all my dad's old stuff and make it my own. Lol.
We met up with Charmaine to go down to the Esplanade (how to spell?) and entered the world of the arty farty. Weird dress senses, funny glasses, gay people... you know the works. Charmaine started marking her cool kids' english homework and Xiao researched on music (how cool is it to study something which requires you to research MUSIC) and did her advertising stuff. It was quite facinating but abit too far out for me to enjoy. So I took my leave and went home to play Unreal.
I wasn't too happy with the Big arse Xen so I went online and found a killer application called the IRiver which owned the Ipod coz it had a radio, recording features and a big arse Litium POLYMER battery which lasts twice as long as a standard Litium Ion battery. A.k.a I can listen to music for 14 hours non stop at full blast. But it costs 200 hundred more dollars and I won't be able to get my distortion pedal this month.
Anyway I'm going down with Kev Tan to check out the prices at our home away from home, Sim Lim. I hope I get a favourable price, the IRiver is a killer app. 2 omelettes, apple, milo and a cup of honeydew juice for brunch. Gym in the afternoon.
Tomorrow is the MG Dance night, should be fun. But to quote a friend.
"WAD SO EX. Not like its at the esplanade or something..."
Hehe Go MG give me my 15 dollars worth man....

I'm still considering what to use my birthday money on. The guitar pedal is very expensive like 700 bucks, so I think I'll stick with my trusty RP 100, crybaby, chorus setup. Ah I know I'll get myself a proper distortion pedal. That'll just cut me down a 100 bucks. Then I might spend the rest on a mid range mp3 player.

I was just reading My Purpose Driven Life book and Chapter 13 hit me as something important that I would like to share with my readers.
The title of the chapter is "Worship that pleases God"
It asks us these questions: Why do we worship? and how much of ourselves we offer to God when we worship?
Think about it... Ok let's move on.
Worship that pleases God:
1. God is pleased when our worship is accurate. Meaning we cannot create our own comfortable or politically correct image of God. That is idolatry. We have to base our worship on the truth of the Scripture. A.k.a. you have to know God before you can worship him and the more accurately you know him the more pleasing your worship will be to him.
2. God is pleased when our worship is authentic. When Jesus said you must worship in "spirit", he meant your spirit not the holy spirit. Worship is our spirit responding to God's spirit. And you must mean what you say when you worship, heartless worship is an insult to God.
3. The next important point is to never ever worship God insincerely, he doesn't want showmanship or phoniness in worship.
We can worship God imperfectly but we cannot worship God insincerely.
What's worse is we can sometimes be sincerely wrong thus the need for both spirit and truth, accuracy and authenticity. Both our hearts and our minds.

Wow I must have tossed and turned in bed for hours... It's been like this for the past 2 days, have alot on my mind. I woke up today at 6 am and more or less finished Splinter Cell (it's so short! Why are good games always so SHORT!).
Went to Xiao Hui's with Yado to watch School of Rock, (which literally Rocks btw.) such an inspiring bunch of musicians. We then jammed and more or less stoned like a bunch of soon-not-to-be teens.

=He took our sin=
=Jesus's Blood gives us purity, security, everything we need=
=It is finished=

What a nice few days I've been having. :D
Birthdays are always a great time for me coz suddenly I become rich. Then you wonder hmmmm does Ben save this money for a rainy day? I might... but first the splurging!
I bought
* For the HARDCORE gamer in me
1. New mouse feet for my uber mouse.
2. Cleaning and waxing liquid for my uber mouse pad.
3. Splinter Cell 2 complete with poster to stick in a dark corner of my room!
* For the Comic Lover in me
1. Amazing Spidey 5 back issues I missed. Best Comic EVER.
* To buy at a later date
1. Guitar pedal. Ooo I get to play for so many weeks so honoured! Shiok! Wonderful!
2. New car. Not this year... or the next 100 years but one day!
Saturday was family day, I went out for lunch with family plus sylvia our border who bought me a super cool shark toy which all my friends play with... too bad it's head keeps coming off. Such a fun thing! (also known as cheap thrill.) My sister bought me a shirt with my mother's money. So nice right. Sigh~ My parents bought me shirts too. We ate at NYDC and used up our vouchers by eating too much, but very nice especially chocolate mud pie~! I then went home to play splinter cell which is way cool btw.
We then went for worship prac where us oldies(plus jac who kinda LOOKS like a oldie (lol)) came together and prayed for our community. It was worthwhile stuff. :)
And then... I GOT A CAKE wooOOoo so nice the cake I ate one piece~ then everyone wished me happy birthday it was so nice. Thx every body~ Then we had worship prac which is quite uber considering the fact that these people don't normally play together. All good things for God's glory :). Samantha is very cute, she doesn't like to smile then you coax and coax then the smile come out so CuTE~ She was having troubles with her guitar playing but I think it was alright in the end Sam rOX haha! Kaye was playing piano then Jordan came over and started showing his great flair. I think she was abit stunned by his performance hehhe stand there heerh heerh erh ehr erh ( imitation of the "kaye"TM laugh). Then Evan and Justin brought food which was swell coz I was really hungry and I ate alot of their food coz I have thickskin and have no shame! mWHAHAhhhaHh!
Then like all good things~ it continued after worshiP! We jammed for a while and everyone had fun worshiping God.
Then disaster struck. The Jon Woo Disaster (JWD), while Jac is a very serene peaceful person, her brother is a super flying off ceiling crazy duper nutty ku ku man. He took my camera and took 50 plus pictures from the drama centre in Church----to the lift----to the car----to the petrol station------to his house! Btw I think my Dad's car has offically become and 3 seater car. 2 on seats, one on floor... as Jac and Jon know so well. Heheheh.
Well I got home late and kinda tossed and turned the whole night but I prayed for strength to wake up the next day and energy for the services. Great way to wake up to your sms ring tone and a Cheryl asking you to send her to church. Woe is me.
Oh btw since I'm on the topic. They gave me a bag of sweets for my birthday and they ate 3/4 of what was in it! ARGH! I wan SWEETS!
ooo and I got a gift voucher(from all of them) and stickers!(from teri bom pi pi) and a card which was sooooooooooooo long and full of absolutely nothing. I praise their ability to be able to write and not make any sense at all. At least the last one made sense...
Kaye got me a nice card. I like stickers!!! Yey stickers :D STICKERS!! woo~
Delia got me a card too. With a monkey which she said was the closest thing to yogi bear.(Huh~?!?!?) but the THOUGHT yes the THOUGHT is what counts right?! rightttt thxx delia. :P
Then the nice people of barker road wished me lots of happy birthday greetings so nice. Thx everybody!
Oh ya and teri tried to give me a egg Deanne gave it back.
nice try bom pi pi. >:P
Worship was a great shot. Claire and friends did a great job~ GREAT JOB k? Hee hee...
Cell? Cell was what it always has been, a guiding light for me. It was great too...
Then every people came over to my place for a "home" screening of passion of christ. It was fruitful. And Yado and friends made lots of noise made lots of disasters and caused me to have a major headache. Why can't I have normal friends?? We ate stuff made by my wonderful grandma who made everything in under 20 minutes how cool is she? I then forgot to bring Debbie's/ Cherio's/ Jon's stuff over, im so forgetful lol.
But it was alright I sent Liz to Far east so she helped me carry their stuff so nice for a person who people love to call bimbo and air head. She eats lana cake. 'Nuff said lol.
The new generation of AC boys are just incredible. They are all so nice, helpful, fun, stoopid, cool all at the same time. The spirit of AC lives on man. RI aiyah... CHinese High aiyohhh.... AC man... all the way.~
Of course there was games but by this time I had close to no energy and it was way fun but wayyyy tiring...
Hmm I supposed to buy MG Dance night tickets Oi Claire ver 2. can I get from you?
and must prepare my birthday party which will be way uber even though its 2 weeks late. Never mind can buy me more presents. Remember giving is better than receiving so I'm actually the one who is suffering here. Yes.... hahhaha
Thanks everybody for making my weekend such a fun one. :D

Hmmx alot of people have missions training next saturday... I'm thinking that I may have to postpone the party till the 24th, 6 days till my mc ends for the 5th time.
What do you guys think?
Wow yesterday we had a nice party at Kevin's house to celebrate Sabrina's, my godsister Michelle and my own birthday. Lots of nice food and great company, the swell thing about these guys is that they are all really fantastic people and though I have not really liked this sort of party in the past, I really appreciate it now. :)
Btw Liverpool lost unfortunately, and that makes Dan very happy indeed.
Cell came soon after, Yado's dad pontanged again so we didn't have our personal cell. Evan offered to let me be part of their cell but I thought underwise and wanted to go back to the party I came from. I hope I didn't hurt their feelings but the atmosphere in Ben's house was really not condusive for studying or sharing. But the worship session was excellent as far as cell worship goes, I won't dwell too much on that one but God was definitely in the house. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did God.
I passed Jac my honoured side kick through my musical journey, my friend who is not as great as he was when we first got him but now a seasoned veteran of the musical disaster which is Ben's life. His brother the case has not fared as well as he has, a broken shell of its former self. But such a great instrument has truely been a blessing unto me and I hope it will be a blessing unto others as well.

I didn't have a nice birthday party last year, in fact I didn't have a birthday party last year! And I'm going to have one this year!!!! It's tradition! Ben must have PARTY!! Or else have such a big house no point! I'm just wondering if I should have it next week so that the army people can come after their confinement. Yeah I think I'll do that hehe have a nice little gathering at my house like the good old days~~ Aww I'm so old... Must take lots of picturess so I can awww... some more.

Hehe plan plan so fun I hope everyone can go... and please God don't let it rain on my birthday party PWEEZ!
Well let's see what the plan is for today... Well I woke up at 9:30 and ate a expired hotdog and nearly died, i can still taste it. Today must do a number of exercises in decending order of need: Swim a few laps, weight lift, ab training, taibo, basketball, take bicycle out for a test ride.
Then tonight got family dinner to celebrate my birthday! Oh well looks like I can't go for the meeting tonight. I want to read the book of John as well I think I'll do that now. Maybe look deeper into some of my other books as well. All this while listening to more than life the super fantastic uberfied United Live CD which is just blasting in my room.

*I axed all those entries. I have to protect my heart and mind from the demons who try and attack me during my idle time*
**Just me speaking to the Lord. Please if you are going to read this, I tell you friends that it is not my intention to pray in front of all of you for any reason what so ever. I just do things better when I can organise my thoughts into words and I thought that since I already have a blog I would like to reflect God's glory in any way that I can. So praise God along side with me as you read. All for his glory.**
"And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matt 6:5.
Instead he asks us to say this prayer in the secret.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.
Could God have made it any easier? :)
Hi God,
I think I have doubted you long enough Lord. My confidence in you has been strengthened by what Jesus Christ did at Calvary, the emotions that you have, the glory of you reflected off your chosen people.
My emotions have often asked me to swear myself off to you but you have said that we should not swear and let our yes be yes and our no be no. Obviously to protect us from the consequences that come from swearing.
So thank you for allowing my confidence to be strengthened through you. I now understand that I have to build a strong fire within me before I can shine for the people.
and yes I will be obedient to you through your strength. Let your will be done because I know that it is what is best for me.
and yes I will continue to read your word and the words of your chosen people to become strong through wisdom, but never to become proud and criticise your people. Please Lord give me wisdom so that I can be secure in you and use the wisdom given to me to help your people. And as I read the books written by worldy authors may I not be led astray by wrong teachings but let me take away important learnings.
and yes I will keep my mind and body pure through your strength because it is a temple to you and I don't want you to have to recide in a dirty temple. And I do not want to cause others to fall because of my wrong intentions, that would be my greatest disaster. Please forgive me for those I have already hurt and give me the opportunity and courage to make up with all these people.
and yes I will live to reflect your glory on those who have not been saved as those who have reflected your glory upon me have given me much hope. All for your glory.
and I pray for all my friends who are going through difficult times, may you close all the doors which will lead them astray and lead them down the narrow path of your will. May they find all they need in you lord. I will no longer confront those who do not want my help but let you work in your perfect timing.
Let me an open book that all who know me can see all that is within me without having to doubt my intentions.
Let me use my gift of music to further glorify your name.
Thank you Lord, all this I ask in your son Jesus Christ's name
Amen.

10th apr is coming.... Ho ho ho
Palm sunday!
This morning I woke up at 8 thinking that there was cell, there wasn't. So sat down and studied my kingdom heart notes, very interesting. Then a funny thing happened, Delia thought Jac was 20 years old! (Oh well it's alright to look matured at ure age Jac :D) Then Huiling came in her new fashion style clothes, wah very funky. Guys watch out! Then Sarah came to ask for money, sighhhh. THEN worse Dorcas came to ask for MORE money! I'm brokeeeeee.... Soon after, the rest of the world came so I took the opportunity to run upstairs to go to communion before I had to fight for seats.
Pastor Peter Koh was speaking today, he has become famous with his style of making people sleep. But I think his method of preaching is really good for me coz he is extremely detailed when he speaks so he can answer every question about the scripture in one seating. Like a teacher to a student. Quite a talent, unfortunately alot of people fall asleep... oh well. During the sermon my buddies jon and mark decided to dig into my bag and they found my neurology study books on male and females. And began to read stuff that they shouldnt read at their tender age. Well done guys please don't remember what you read your parents will kill me. I also ate chocolates during sermon :D thanks cherioOoo~
Then I went out for some really nice chinese food at balmoral. It was a nice family lunch something I havent enjoyed for a long time. My mum nearly fell down again, she is down right clumsy...She has to be more careful or else she's gonna seriously injure herself.
Wow this afternoon was extremely utterly horrendously RAINY! I became the offical driver of the John Woo and friends team. And I only have 2 seats, first Jac and Jon, where I got to enjoy "sibling love" a.k.a noisest 20 minutes of my life. ARGH! Then Jon and Mark, which was surprisingly peaceful.
So it rained and all was boring. Rain is for sleeping! So we sat around for the entire day, church was surprisingly empty today. Then we went down to the air con room and sat around again....
Then I was soooo bored that I drew Cherio Darbie and Teri Bom pi pi! It was a great time user and was extremely entertaining~ hehe so farnie~ Hohohoho Cherio laughed so hard she nearly exploded she turned beet red!
Then I played basketball, wow I've become really unfit. Like the brain wanted to run there but the body not quick enough to follow, man it was so extremely annoying to lose to anyone. Argh!!! But now I'm too sleepy to write coherently, time to watch the rugrats then sleeeep...

It's nice to receive compliments~ I enjoy the sincerity that people gave when they say I can really do something well, gives me something to think about; if God gave me this ability how should I use it to further his cause? Then the human side of me says if I have this ability how can I use it to make me great. I have yet to reach a point in my life where I'd have to choose either my personal gratification or God yet so I'll just keep it in mind.
A sincere compliment of a person's ability is like nurturing a growing tree.

A sincere compliment of a person's ability is like nurturing a growing tree.

It was quite fun :D
It's quite nice to see how a marriage like my parents' even though not as lovey dovey as some other marriages I have seen, is still as wonderful as anything could possibly be.
And my dad received a 12 string guitar for his birthday which is now unoffically my equipment. Heh.
Oh yeah and Man U beat Arsenal. Suckers! MWAHAHHAHA! ARSENAL SUCKS!

The horse movie was interesting at the best, way too long. At least I got to spend time with my friends from the non-christian world. It was a release from the struggles of living, we watched a slow movie, we had a good laugh and we didn't have a care in the world.
Oh ignorance is bliss.

Ever took Jesus dying in the cross for granted? I did. I though Jesus Christ was some kind of super man who came, "died" then woke up and tada sins all gone.
I was given the opportunity to understand the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in much deeper detail. First through the DVD and then through the Passion of Christ which everyone who doubts Jesus's love and humanity should go and watch.
It deplicted what Mel Gibson researched the final days of Christ to be like. How accurate they were, I wouldn't know right now, but alot of my Christian friends support his movie. It showed God's love for us, Jesus's love for us and the willing sacrifice of himself for the souls of all humanity. Mel took out some very important words from the Bible and placed them in crucial parts of the movie. I have to do some study before I can write about it. I will one day right now I'm abit too tired to write about anything.
The movie strengthened my resolve to surrender everything to follow God's will. Over these few weeks I have learnt the joys of loving God, caring for others/ friends/ enemies, doing God's will, surrendering, obedience and love for everything and everyone. I now know that I have to remove all things in my life which will cause me to stray from the path God has given me.
I have to strive to be more like Jesus Christ!
