It has been long time since the last blog.

It sounds as if I was having the holidays before I created this post. I guess it is okay to have a break for everything we do because it can comfort the stress a bit. It is exactly true because I'm in good mood now. Looks like life is changing from time to time. Perhaps we are growing up from our experiences because I find that I had learnt a lot of valuable lessons from what I had done. Perhaps it's the excellent blessing for me to be unable to hear although I have been wanting to hear like the normal people since the childhood. Now, I'm beginning to think that I've changed because I no longer use most popular activities like chatting online, Friendster etc. Maybe you can say that I'm mature as I'm working on the serious matters. Or maybe old fashioned because I prefer to keep it simple and plain. Some of my classmates are going to have the study trip this coming holiday. To New York. I wish that I can join them but unfortunately, I'm not rich. Maybe it's best for me to stay here as I can earn a lot of money than the spending. The study trip can wait because I may be having the trip when I study oversea later. Look like that I enjoy being with my current gang a lot. Hopefully, I can make time for the churches in my daily schedule because something cropped up every time I wanted to visit the church. I have confirmed my decisions on the careers. Those are; sculptor, bodybuilder and wrestler. Although I do have the plans with my friend to set up the business, I don't have the confidence that it would go well because we don't have the experience and even time for it. She sounded as if she wanted to do her own desires although she was very keen to do the business with me. I hope that I will see the familiar faces who share the same passions again after the graduation.

A lonely warrior

It seems that everyone rejected my invitation I sent out the day before. I wanted to invite them to my exhibition which is going to be displayed on weekends of this month. Well, i'm used to it. Many times I was rejected when I invited anyone to go out with me for fun. Perhaps I was so demanding or boring guy. It's really ironic in life or perhaps humans are somehow strange. When I often was with the group, they were not very "noisy". I mean we did not talk to each other a lot or our conversations were very short. But when we had not kept in touch for long time and happened to meet each other one day, they became more friendly and kept talking to me. I'm amused at that thought. I guess that the only person I can trust is none other than God. I'll try harder to get back to the right path as He saved me before.

Right now, my body seems to be in high spirit and very energetic. Perhaps it was due to my registration I made at the language school in the afternoon the day before. I can feel the burst of excitement at the thought of the new language adding to my brain. I believe I have to take the difficult path since I have no choice. Just like all the christians facing the tests in their lives. Similarly, the road to Heaven is narrow. ".. for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction..." - (Matthew 7:13) Which means that the journey to Christ is very difficult. Yes, it's time to be more strict on myself as my time for baptism is nearer. Now, I'll never let go of my shield that is Christ. Importantly, I hope that I will be the salt and light to everyone I meet especially my family.

Just one step

Just finished working yesterday. Of course, it was tiring. I admit that i'm getting old because my back was aching when I was working. It was different from my previous job. Maybe I was young and energetic back then. So to refreshen myself, I went to the viewing mall to admire the beautiful view. Yesterday was the fourth day of my work. All right, today is the day I'm off. The great way to relax! *laugh*

I'm going to the Comfort Driving Centre to apply for the theory lessons in the afternoon. Hopefully, they accept my application. *cross the fingers*

Lord, please bless me and be with me when I'm going to take the lessons for riding. I need the motorcycle for the transport means. I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The beginning

I enjoyed myself a lot at the sculpture carnival last week. Of course, it was a pleasant surprise because I was assigned to be the instructor at the station I was assigned to. Thanks to the help of the other instructors and assistants, Not forgetting the strangers, friends and acquaintances as well. Honestly, it made me consider being the art teacher for the children. But now, I think I have to put this idea on hold because I have other plans on my hand. So many of them. Maybe I can volunteer in the children's home by teaching art. Here are the pictures of the puppets the others (including Anglo Chinese Junior College and Saint Andrew Junior College) and I created for the display.

Actually, there were more puppets on that window. But unfortunately, I had to leave early to attend the Sunday mass in the nearby church. By the time I returned, they were already gone. I could not find them around. Hopefully, they would not be dumped in the trash. Otherwise, I could take them and donate them to the children's home where they could be used.

All right. Tomorrow will be the beginning for me because I will be working on that day. Yeah, it's the first day I report to work. I hope that it will provide enough funds for my plans.I also hope that the inspiration will come back as soon as possible. There are two major events coming up next month, June. They're very important for me. Lord, guide and strengthen me through the Holy Spirit so that I can face the challenges without fear. In Jesus' name. *praying*

Third day of the sculpture carnival

Good morning! That's what I am telling myself now. Last Thursday was the first day of the sculpture carnival. Although it was somehow difficult for me to manage it, I enjoyed myself a lot as well as I learnt something new. Patience is important during the busy moments. Otherwise, those children would not cooperate with me and learnt nothing from the sessions. What I enjoyed are not the beautiful smiles from all those pretty girls and boys. But rather I liked the children's smiles more because I felt the joy through them. Honestly, the laughter of those three children I played with strengthened and inspired me a lot that I wanted to move on despite the difficulties I always face. Not just that, I saw how the acquaintances worked with the children. That's how I learnt how to help those children. I had no problem in that because I played with my cousin when she was young last time. Another lesson is that someone learns the best when he's being very curious in the particular thing he handles. I learnt it from very active and curious boy who put everything in his works. I was amused at how he created his own puppet himself. Those children were well behaved opposite to my expectations.

Yesterday was the second day of the sculpture carnival. Again, I saw the angelic smiles from the acquaintances. My station was so busy in the morning. This time, it was easier because more helpers were assigned to my station. In the afternoon, it was less busier as there were a few people around. So to kill the time and amuse myself, I went to the other stations to try out the other works.

All right. It's time for me to end here. I look forward to the third day of the sculpture carnival. That's today. I hope to see a lot of people doing the artworks over there.

My favourite work at my station: "A little angel"

Laziness, please go away!

It's horrible thing that we always feel in our world. Even worse, we never learnt the lesson from it! It's none other than the laziness! Since the end of term, I started feeling tired. I took it as the fatigue from the hard works. As time went by, I relaxed and enjoyed myself as usual. However, not long ago, I discovered that I was being lazy those days! Well, thankfully, I discover it early. Otherwise, I would be in trouble when the major event comes up next month. Another major event I'm having this week is the sculpture carnival. Although I don't know what will happen during the carnival, I'm getting excited over it. The first day is on today. Just four hours away.

My friend went back to China last night because he was worried about his family. I'm depressed at the thought of the recent victims in the two countries. I hope that another earthquake would never happen in China. I admit that I didn't feel anything when I was reading the news regarding the recent disasters. But now, I'm feeling a bit troubled. This way, I realize that I'm too obsessed with my own desires.

Lastly, I want the motorbike! I need it for the transport. Although my parents were against it, they allow me to apply for the motorbike license on my own if I pay with my own pocket. I guess I need to work harder and sell more and save a lot of money. Yes, I will make sure that I get my hands onto the bike!

Fall of the storm

Finally, the storm ended last Thursday. Right after 5pm. Thankfully, the stress had been chased away from my head. No more horrible presence of the classmate in my sight. She always depressed me so much. I hope that the current holidays would loosen the tension between us. At the moment, I reached home and took a shower. Then i hit the bed and slipped away into the darkness. Beforehand, I was thinking of exploring more arts and developing my skills. I even thought of making my own website and some commission from my art works. However, when I woke up, I found out that it was in the middle of night. I wanted to start developing the works from my ideas and imaginations. However, by then I found myself too heavy to move. Maybe my body was telling me to rest since I had been having some sleepless nights during the school days. Or it had become lazy. I admit that I'm very lazy right now because my room is still in mess after tidying up halfway. There are so many works I have been wanting to do. I guess I need to take it slowly. Today, I went to NUS museum with seven people who shared common interest in the sculpture as well as the lecturer. There were a lot of excellent works on display over there. Not just the sculpture but also the paintings. Very interested. Unfortunately, I didn't bring the camera along. If i knew, I would probably bring it. It does not matter because I still remember what I have seen in that museum. After discussing the topic with my classmate, I believe that I make a right choice. Thanks be to God.
