Felt that after I came back from Brunei, I've changed... Kang wei say that I used to be rather wise before I go brunei, but now a bit slow in thinking... I felt that I've seems to lost something along the journey, things that I use to do, things that I use to love, the passion for the works... right now I think I seriously need to sort things out, to back track to find the things that I've lost along the way....... to find my way back....

Just came back from lecture... decided to blog for a while before going down to buy dinner. Today woke up at around 10, feeling rather refresh, and wanna share a good news with you all: I'VE GOTTEN MY DRIVING LICENSE!! hahaha... it is delivered to my house this morning.. so happy sia... So now can officially drive vehicle liao... anyone wanna let me try out?? hahaha....

Anyway, went to school in the afternoon for the last lecture for bridging Economics. Not really a lecture, but a revision on the topics.. so fast last lesson liao... going to have the exam in 2 weeks time. Please pray for me that I will be discipline enough to practice on the models and do well for the exam. Also, will be attending the last revision lecture for Bridging Math this Wednesday. After which, will have one week break before commencing the school term on 5th August.

Hopefully, by God's grace, will be able to pass the bridging exams to advance to year 2.

Today is another mentally drained out day for me. Have been facing alot of difficulties in Math on the topic matrices. Can't seems to get the answer right all the time... after going through ll the calculation and writing then in the end realise the answers is incorrect, the feeling is really.... urgh!! then still have to re-do again. Think I really need to practise more on the topic to better prepare myself for the exam.

After the lesson, went to causeway point to have cell group. Didn't touch on the material, but did some sharings and discussions... after that me and kang wei went to meet leo cos he end work late while jon and wei beng went off due to rehearsal and tution. went to woodgrove city to have dinner. share on recent happenings, leo's work etc....

Think I need to buck up a bit.... seems that my life is lacking some things ... don't know what it is... I want to be independent, not relying on people, able to self provide... but its seems not possible right now..
Caleb at 10:40 PM

Yesterday was really a tiring and sleepy day for me.... started to rain heavily early in the morning... makes me feel even sian to go for the lecture... some more its econs... but being a OBEDIENT student and not wanting to waste my money, I still went for the lecture.. hahaha... The lecture is quite alright, manage to understand it and I manage to stay awake all the way till the last 15-30 mins or so hahaha great achievement for me liao hahaha... so fast we have reach the last chapter of the whole course, that means I've to start revising for the exams. Hopefully, by God's grace, will be able to pass the exam cos passing means exemption of one more module le, very crucial.

After the lesson, suppose to head down to town to meet up with Hwee Chee but in the end the rest cannot make it, thus we meet at Sun Plaza instead. While waiting for her to come, I head to Popular to see if there is any new interesting books. I was browsing through the books, then I saw Nicholas Sparks new novel: The Choice. Read the prologue, seems not bad I would say. Also, read the prologue of the book: Ugly by the author, Constance something.... forgotten her last name. I think currently, these books will be on my buying list if I happens to have extra cash ahahaha...

Anyway, after that received call from her that she will be late, so went to the library (no place to go liao...) went to the world histor section and pick a book to read. Happens to get a book that talks about a lady who had survived world war 2 and how her life is before and afte the war. Interesting I would say, through her descriptions about her childhood and how the war started all that...

Received a call from her, went down to meet her. Start to have discussion on the event... had a few ideas in mind, now need to tie down a few details, and wait for the decision from the organizer. Hopefully, everything will run smoothly ba...

Please pray for me, still trying to secure tution assignments... hopefully will be able to earn enough to cover my monthly expenses....

Just came back from cell group an hour ago.... feeling rather tired right now...... Econs is really boring!! I really need extra strength and concentration to stay awake in the lecture sia.... the material is really dry and there is not much hands on... its just graph, formulas, graph, formulas.... how irritating can that be... haiz.... Can't imagine that I'm gonna take it again in year 2 and the best part of it, the module: managerial econs, is a killer among all econs module!!! Please pray for me that I can absorb the materials given to me and quickly get over the econs modules........

Bridging course is coming to an end soon.... will be having the exams on 13 and 15 august. Not worry about Math since its the subject I like alot :), left with only econs, once i get over these two, will immediately promote to year 2. Praying hard that will be able to get thru..........
Caleb at 10:19 PM

Today lesson as per normal, from 2-5pm @ SIM HQ. Had Math lesson today, started to feel more and more comfortable with the course. Yes, I've to admit there is a certain level of difficulties on some of the topics, but when managed to solve the questions, that sense of achievement is indescribable :) Thus, now I'm quite comfortable with Math. Whereas for Econs, I'm kinda worried cos its involved a lot of graph drawing and lotsa of formula to memorise. Thus, please pray for me for added strength and wisdom to be able to understand the topics and score well for both the exams.

Anyway, after school suppose to go to causeway point to meet up with Judah for cell. However, last minute got some changes thus postponed to next week. Just nice, called my sis and realised she is also at causeway point with my mum. went to met up with them, accompanied them to do some shopping then went back home together.

Please pray for my family, as specially my parents. Just now we are at the bus interchange, then saw 911 coming, wanted to board so walk a bit faster but in the end , didn't board cos my mum wasn't feeling very well. When chatting with her, she suddenly say, ' I'm no longer that fit anymore, I know it myself....' This kept me thinking for a while... It seems that I've been living together with my mum for so long, that I've kinda taken her for granted... haizz.... It really knock some sense into me... I need to care more about her, not just her health but also her chance to get to know and accept Christ. Really need to work on it... Also, pray for my dad, he recently got a business opportunity, to help out his friend in some steel business in indonesia. Pray that everything will go smoothly for him. Also, my sis, starting school soon, please pray that she will have a chance to know more about Christ through her classmates and the school environment.

I think thats about it la, I just pray that I will be about to fulfill my role as a son, a friend, and most important, a follower of Christ.........

Just received a phone call from the bank while I was on my way home. Being informed that the application is unsuccessful... dunno why but some how before the bank called, already got a feeling that it may not be successful... so when being notified, though a bit disappointed, but still able to deal with it calmly. Have asked the bank to put my application on hold 1st, while I search for another joint applicant. Please pray for me, that I will commit everything to the Lord and not to worry too much, trusting that God will provide me with the need. Also, pray that I will be able to find another applicant soon.
Caleb at 6:32 PM

Dunno why woke up so early today.... nearly 6am in the morning.... think must be the red wine that I took yesterday.. now feeling rather thirsty...

Anyway, yesterday received a message from leonard, asking whether want to have steamboat at his house... well not wanting to disappoint him and the fact that I've not taken my dinner yet, I accepted his invitation :) Went to his house at around 2030, brought a bottle of wine with me. Kang wei and Jonathan also came for the occasion. Well, if you noticed, our group seems to be short of one more member right? ahahahaha... Anyway, had a good time chatting with one another, and you know what? Jonathan also brought a bottle of wine with him.... hahaha we really have a lot of things in common :) In the end, we decided to open his wine instead since kang wei don't drink and jonathan is driving so cannot drink also. Thus, only left with me and leo :) good for me hhaahaha... cos I think I manage to finish half a bottle hahaha... Shiok sia... long time never drink liao, so after that my head felt a bit heavy... hhahaha.... Left Leo's house at around 11 plus... once reach home, change and immediately fell asleep all the way until morning....

We should have more of this in the future, good for the bonding and good for me too :) ahahaa

Yesterday went to meet up Hwee Chee and Kangwei for dinner at Sembawang. On the way there, saw Esther and her boyfriend. Chat a while, heard from her that she is also studying in SIM under RMIT, what a coincidence I would say. When I saw her, I still feel a bit inferior when talking to her, don't know why also haha.... anyway, met up with them, went to admiral hill for dinner. Had a good chat with them, stayed till around 10 then leave. Went to her house to get the cd of the photos taken during the charity bowl.

I thank God that I'm able to be around when my friends needed me. Though many a times I may not be of much help to them, but God granted me a listening ear, to be able to just sit there listening to them, sharing their problems and thoughts. Volunteering Job is rather interesting, think will try to get more involved in the area.

Here's some of the photos taken during the bowl:

Woke up early today to meet Hwee Chee and friends for the SDA Charity Bowl @ Mt Faber SAFRA. Didn't really know what to expect at the event. Thank God for the opportunity, cos manage to have some interaction with the SDA members. Our teams consist of 1 team leader, 2 volunteers and 1 SDA Member. There are total 2 teams from SDSC. My team leader is Eileen who is from SDSC and also my junior from NYP SBM. Get to know also Yuan Sheng who is the SDA member in my team.

The Charity Bowl consists of 3 game. There is a total of 25 teams participating in the charity bowl. Started the game from 0930 all the way till 1200 noon. Had a good chat with Yuan Sheng, and his mum. Yuan Sheng is very friendly and open, easy to talk with, can see that he enjoyed alot during the session. Also, I've a lot of respect towards his mum, Auntie Winie. Cos I cannot imagine how difficult it is to raise Yuan Sheng up. Also, get to know Eileen, Joel and Eugene :) Overall, played rather well throughout, gotten a total score of 325 for 3 games even though our team got 2nd last in the end ahahahaa

After this event, I find it rather interesting to be able to be involve in the voluntary work. May be will participate more in the events in the future :) Alright later will be meeting hwee chee and jonathan click for dinner.... going to rest for a while :)

Went to the bank in the morning to settle my application of the loan. The staff told me that it will take 5 working days to process the loan application. Now praying very hard, keeping my finger cross, hoping that , by God's grace, the application will be successful.

After that went back home to rest a while, then head down to my grandma's house at Bt Panjang together with my sis and mum. Its the first time I went down since the return of my tour 2 months ago. The place is still the same but the feeling is not the same anymore. In the past, when I dropped by, I will always be able to see my grandma sitting at the sofa, smiling at me upon seeing me, asking me hows my life... still misses her alot... haiz.....

anyway, after that, went for cell group at patrick's place. Had a good chat with the click, discuss on decision making and other stuffs. Like what many of us mentioned, our cell group is now going on transition phase. going overseas for perm staff, for studies, going for NS, basically eventually will left me alone in the cell. May be who knows, God is trying to tell me or us that we should start to bring in new ppl to expand the cell... haha...

Yesterday, before I go to SSDC, went to causeway point to have my photo taken, cos need it for the application. While waiting for the photo to be ready, I went to popular to kill time. Was surprised to find a couple of interesting books there, have put it down in my list, hopefully will be able to buy it :)

As you can see, I changed my blogskin. Like the design, plain and simple with an additional color of light green. Earlier, to read also, as compared to the previous one.

Haven't been updating for the past few days...... Let me start from the day that Spain won the EURO championship. Went for dinner on that day after the worship seminar which lasted for nearly 3 hours plus I think. Everyone is thinking where to go for dinner so I suggested to go Little Part 1 cafe @ Jasmine Road cos I wanted to go that place for quite some time ler hahaha. The place is rather cosy I would say, food is not bad, I like the environment and price is reasonable (no GST, no service charge somemore), drop by again some other time. After that, went to Starbucks @ Thomson plaza to chill out cos its still early before we head to ken's house for the screening of the EURO final. Went to his house, had a great chat with the gals, having them to entertain me hahaha... watch the final, Spain played pretty well I would say, with all the thru pass while Germany's defence is quite weak, always let Spain cut through. The whole match, I was basically, in the mist of dozing off and waking up, cos it becomes rather boring after Spain scored a goal in the 1st half. After that, Cabbed home with Arthur and Pretty Boy. Slept for a few hours then wake up to rush down to SSDC for my BTT. Was rather shack, so couldn't really think very well, plus I'm also afraid that I will fail (due to the fact that I failed twice before). Thus, spend quite long to finish it, and by God's grace, I PASSED!!!! Finally, able to pass and convert my license.. hahahah

Then yesterday, went out with the click to celebrate Jon and Lovelle's Birthday. Went to Sweet Indulgence @ Stanley St (another place on my list.. hahaha) to have our dinner. Ordered the spaghetti Marinara, so-so only. The sauce is not bad, but the sea food especially the small clams makes it rather difficult to eat. So far, I think the best Spaghetti marinara I've eaten is from Fig & Olive @ Bencoolen St. The portion is just nice and its sea food is good too. Anyway, after that, went to Timbre @ Arthouse for some drink. Didn't really enjoy it cos the environment is rather noisy and I'm not a Pub goer so think this will be my first and last time there ba.

Today, didn't go for the freshman orientation. Stayed at home the whole morning and went out in the afternoon to SSDC to convert my license. After so long, and by God's grace, I've managed to convert it!!! Yeah!!! So as of now, I'm offically legal to drive in Singapore!! Will be getting my license through mail in a month's time... really very happy sia...

Thats all for now, will not be going to Church this sunday as need to go to Mount Faber to help out hwee chee with some charity bowl event.
