          I found out I like fiction based on history. Well, not exactly fiction, but history told fiction style, not like what you see in textbooks. Very informative and interesting :).

          I’ve been reading “Schindler’s List”. It tells of this person, Herr Schindler, who has his flaws (womanizing, drinking…), saving the Jews in Germany during the Nazi times. In other words, he is sort of a savior to the Jews. Very nice :). There’s a movie adaption, too.

Brooke Fraser’s new album is said to be out soon! Am looking forward to it.

          I can’t see how people can stand being the way they are, happy with the level they are at: not wanting to improve. It’s rather disappointing when you see a person doing the same thing for such a long time, and doing it as if he’s still new to it. Is this the perfectionist in me talking? I think not. Improvement is a must.

          I do think I am a perfectionist sometimes, in things I’m passionate about --- calligraphy, handwriting, drums… And I sometimes don’t live up even to my own standards. Sometimes I just wish I can do things sloppily and be happy with it. There are times that I do just that, but I’m not happy with what I produce --- sloppy,  crappy, work.

          But then again, I’d rather be trying, to achieve the best I can, and even more, than just doing the bare minimum. Maybe I AM a perfectionist. But oh well.

 

         Still, I’m also looking forward to the Singapore team coming to train us all! >:D

I truly thank God for the worship session yesterday during MYF. It was truly.. refreshing. That’s the reason why I was hyper that day, you see :P.

I, for once, didn’t care how badly/good the band played. It was just on God :). Thank you, for answering my prayers.

School! Ouish. I do not like homework =/, especially if the teacher doesn’t like my handwriting (and I’m already using the super-neat italics). Gaah! Talk about nit-picking.

What’s more, the school exercise book’s paper is super low quality --- it feathers, and bleeds through. I’m considering buying those higher quality books from outside and replace the covers. Blah.

But, no matter. For now, I’ll stick to writing on one side of the page, whatever the teacher may say. I recycle.

It is said that a fountain pen nib is equivalent to 37 ballpoints, as in, it can last as long as 37 ballpoints. Hahaha :P. But I suppose with care, a fountain pen nib can last a lifetime, and maybe even more.

Alright. I’ve ran out of things to randomly blog about. Haha :P

Busy busy donkey!

Homework is piling up terribly high. Thank God it’s Friday! But school’s on Saturday, too. To go or not? Eeep.

What a week. I’ve turned my focus off God.. Time to turn it back, again. I wonder when will I finally be focused completely on Him, all the while, never distracted, never straying.

How wonderful that will be, with God in me, and I in Him.

Do you like bombastic words? I don’t like bombastic words. It usually just confuses and befuddles the readers, which is what a writer should aim not to do. Unless there isn’t another word that captures the precise meaning that the writer is trying to convey, then only it is better to use the bombastic word.

We shouldn’t try to make everyday news sound like some legal paper or thesis. It turns people off and gives the impression of a writer trying too hard to sound well-read and being plain pompous.

Bleh. Just my 5 cents, anyway.

Walalala.

I wish my CY members would talk more. Wait.. let me rephrase that. I hope my CY members would talk more in the near future. Sigh sigh sigh.

This week’s memory verse:

All around the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it.

                                                                    Colossians 1:6!

And that’s without referring to the Bible! Walalallaalal!! :P

How nice it would be if I can get into the thoughts of other people, and how annoying! Haha! If I could, I can:

Know when to stop, if they get annoyed

Make them listen!

Erase doubts.

Actually make my sincere compliments sound sincere.

and blah-blah-blah :).

But then again, if I knew it all, how boring and dull life would be! No suspense!

Empathy is a nice skill to have :).

“I, the proud owner of a fountain pen!” Aaaah >;D.

I really thank God, for the opportunities He gave me to share the good news. I now know that I only have to share it, and God will take care of the results, and wait prayerfully :).

Great Success, again!

Yay! Jon acquired a new skill! He can roll his r’s now, which means he can purr and make that “flirting sound”. :P Ask me for demo. HAHAH!

El perro corre en el ferro carril! Tongue twister, man :).
