It's my 299th post. It's been a rather long journey looking back at my very first post. haha! Thanks for dropping by every now and then to check up on how i'm doing; i really appreciate it.
It was quite a while a ago, but if you're dying to know, the Year 11 Futsal team beat the Year 12 one with a scoreline of 4-0. It was a pathetic game. haha! Really... there was hardly any opposition. It's kindda like a tradition right now. We beat them 2-0 in Year 9, 3-0 in Year 10, and 4-0 this year. haha! A complete tradition. We'll be missing them as they'll be leaving for Uni next year.
The hardest job in life isn't the most busy one, but the one which receives no praise.
Good Friday. Easter. I've learnt that it's all about Servanthood and Love. Helping out in the Backstage Crew for the Fungus Musical has been a sheer, full-blooded muscle power job which involves moving tables, hundred of chairs, loading them into a huge truck, setting up cumbersome curtains, etc. I never knew it would be such a menial job. My arms are aching badly right now, they've never ached so badly before, but i guess it's a good sign.
The backstage trio - Josh, Darren and i, don't get much...how do u call it... fame, or appreciation. But this has really reminded me of the true meaning of Easter. That God sent his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us. He was God, and didn't have to, but he chose to because he loved us. He knew he was going to get rejected and despised, but love pushed him on to his death. Thank you Jesus.
Last night's musical went surprisingly well, with just one or two blemishes. But we'll perfect it tonight. Jin, Banh, Harish, Phan, Anthony, Jack and Victor are coming tonight. I really hope they enjoy themselves!
I admire servants, and this has completely changed my view of them. Humility. I love that word.
Lord, you are a Servant. Please make me one too.
Rolling emotions.

Charity Match
I can remember donating a dollar or two to a charity event such as a piano performance, a rock gig, or some special performance by TV celebrities. But i guess nothing feels better than to be the actual person performing, raising money for charity with his/her skills and expertise. That's cool.
I mean, there's a limit to the depth of your pockets and an end to the kind generosity of your heart. But there's nothing that can stop you from doing what you do best, maybe except for fatigue.
There's gonna be a Charity Soccer Match at Lunch tomorrow. An elite Year 11 team versus the Year 12 team. And i've been given a chance to be the performer, it's a first. The Year 11 team consists of: Jase, Kev, Johnny, Turk, Laios, Tommy and myself. Though i'm not quite happy that Johnny's the captain, i'm delighted with this opportunity to do what i love doing for charity.
Well, i feel quite pressured to perform well tommorrow simply because the "Big Guns" are all playing. Laios said that he really wanted to play beside me in defence. There would be no room for error and all that. I know it's a just a Charity Match, but it's my first time playing alongside the likes of Laios. It's all cool. I hope that i'll outshine him. haha!

Lazy Bum
I know i've got a whole lot of work to do, but i really can't be stuffed getting down to writing my Chinese essay -.-" haha! It rained again today, and i enjoyed it again. I love the way God made rain. It brings gloom to the frowners, but joy and refreshment for their seekers.
Today was full of Chemistry. Had to work with this dude named SiYuan on a Concept Map which contributes 10% to my total assessment -.-" I didn't have a choice, Marcus and Harish paired up, and Jin and Phan were working together. So i was left to the randoms. People say that he's a big slacker, but i reckon he did just enough. We've gotta learn to work with many different kinds of people anyway.
Marcus and i went down to Coles to buy some skewers before going to Glen Waverley Library to work on out Propene Model. Yea, we completed it pretty quickly but i started to rain the very moment we stepped outta the library -.-" loL! Marcus got SOOO worried about the model! Fortunately, we managed to get it back to the bus station in one piece, though some parts fell out along the way! haha!
I've gotta long day ahead of me tmr... cool, i feel like starting that Chinese essay now.

Rays of Love
I'm doing a quick post while i'm uploading Rays of Love. I can't believe i haven't put it up on my blog since the time it got published! btw, Rays of Love is the song that i composed last year that was published by my youth group, Fungus. Yea... hope you guys like the song. It's sung by Adora and Joanne. Stanley and Bryan did the music and most of the other work. haha!
The weather can be rather deceiving. The sun was out and shining really brightly early in the morning, but it started pouring rain by 2pm. Well, it was the first time this year that it'd rained while we were playing soccer, but i liked it, ironically. I miss getting drenched in the rain, i miss kicking the ball when it's all slippery and wet, and i miss missing playing soccer. haha! Ironic, but true.
I remember the good old days when we used to play back in Avon Park just around Lobby 7. We would moan and groan whenever the rain prevented us from playing soccer, still the dudes (Troy, Daryl, Justin, Shannon, Junior) and i found other stuff to do, and we enjoyed ourselves. I miss them lots... but every time i go back to Singapore, i find that they are all going through rapid changes in their lives. It's all happening so fast that the dudes i used to play soccer with, joke around and play a fool with, would probably be dating seriously by the next time i go back to Singapore for NS. Hmm... Sentimental. A thought to cherish =)

Ford Factory
Boy! I haven't blogged for quite a while. I've been caught up with work and all, and tonight's the first night in this year that i'm feel on top of my work. haha! I wanna bask in this comfort and joy for as long as it lasts. Each new day brings a new hope, a change in direction, and more work to do -.-"
I went on a Business Management excursion to the Ford Factory up in Upbridge -.-" That's at the end of the Upbridge line, which is Northwest of Melbourne and about 2 hours away from where i live -.-"""
Anyway, i was really surprised at the efficiency of the production lines, the potential and the capabilities of machines. The machines really did most of the work, the human employees were there for maintenance and to put screws into the cars. haha! I've never seen machines used in such a magnitude before. It's just amazing.
The machines looked like gigantic arms that could lift heavy car parts easily and mould them into the required shape almost in an instant. Fact is, a car comes off the production line every 47 seconds. And they get sent to the Painting Centre, which operates 24/7. This means that more than 1 Ford car is produced per minute 24/7 -.-"""" I don't see why cars still cost so much!
