21st Mar, 2009(Sat)

Today I was invited by 1 of my secondary school mates, Johnathan, to his 21st Birthday party, which was held in his grandma's terrace house at Simei. We had not meeting each other for quite sometime already. He grew a lot, he was bigger size than when I last met him, which was around 1 year ago.
His whole family & relatives were busy preparing for his 21st Birthday party. Johnathan invited a lot of his friends, some were his poly friends and some were childhood friends. My brother and I were his secondary school friends.
I met the girlfriend of Min Kiat(1 of my NS friends), Winnie and I didn't expect it at all... I only saw her photo on Min kiat's MSN display photo, but not the real person.
The food were delicious, and Johnathan was busy chatting with his friends. Overall, the party was a success!! =]

14th Mar, 2009(Sat)

Today, I woke up early in the morning around 5.30am because I was going to take my annual IPPT(Individual Personal Physical Test). Every NSmen would need to take their IPPT annually to make sure that they were always in good physical condition. Min Kiat, who was my NS friend, took IPPT together with me. It was not easy for us as we had ORD from our 2 years full-time NS for around 1 year already. There were total 5 stations: Sit Up, SBJ(Standing Board Jump), Chin Up, Shuttle Run and 2.4km Run. Luckily, I still managed to pass my IPPT.
My senior of my secondary school CCA - Lion Dance, Fu Tian drove me to PYSS. We returned PYSS to help up with the training.
In the afternoon around 12.45pm, I went to IBC(International Baptist Church) at Farrer Road for the rehearsal of Baptist Choral Fest 2009. We left IBC to ACS Baker by 3pm and had our final rehearsal, before the actual start at 7.30pm in the night.
We sang 6 songs - "荣耀归主", "God of Grace", "主!我要遇见祢", Hem of Your Robe", Nobody Fills My Heart Like Jesus" and "Our God Is God". These songs were very nice songs. This was a very memorable experience!!

Today I had cycled to Bedok Swimming Complex for swimming together with Ming Sheng & Ming Hao(2 of them are siblings) in the morning. We swam a few laps and it was really tiring. There was a woman who had very GOOD stamina, she swam non-stop for more than 10 laps of the swimming pool.
After swimming, I accompanied both Ming Sheng & Ming Hao to submit their enrollment documents to Temasek Polytechnic(TP) and it didn't take as much time as we thought.
They brought me a bicycle shop at Bedok South to repair my bike after we left TP, because some of the parts of my bike were spoiled. I replaced the rubber of the front break of my bike and the left gear changer, and I also bought a seat wrap for the seat of my bike.

Today, I woke up early in the morning around 6am because there would be a song presentation of the song “离了你,我不能作什么” by SingVOICES. And we(all the SingVOICES members) needed to be in church by 8am for rehearsal.
(For the video on the song presentation, please visit

In the afternoon, I rushed off to Hong Leng Shopping Center after my Sunday school for a Magic performance for a open house from 1pm - 2.30pm. The kids were very lively and energetic, they ran around the place but not feeling tired.
After the magic performance, I went straight to Habourfront MRT station because I was joining a surprise Birthday celebration for Zhi Yang(1 of my church mates who sings very well) and I was going to help out with the decoration of the place. After the decoration, Zhi Yang's friends had started to reach one after another. I met 4 Choir friends and other friends of Zhi Yang. But we were like 2 gang of people and in the function room. So in order to break the Ice in between us, I used my "看家本领" (it means the thing that I'm best in) - Magic. I performed a few tricks to some of the Zhi Yang's friends and the other Zhi Yang's friends croweded near me, and they were amazed. From there I started the conversations between me and Zhi Yang's friends.
Around 7pm, Zhi Yang had finally reached. And all of us hid inside thr function room, without making any noise. When Zgi Yang opened the door, all of us wished ZhiYang Happy Birthday!" Zhi Yang was totally in shock and stunned that for 2-3minutes without speaking any words. Uncle Wei Ming had wrote special Birthday song(Cantones) for Zhi Yang and the lyrics is below:
"无愁又无掛虑
前途在神手里
神恩典够你用
欢欣添上一岁"
After singing the birthday song and cutting the cake, we had our dinner and some games. This was really fun and unforgettable!!

3rd Mar, 2009(Tue)

Today I left home early around 6.30am with my father to help him out for his work. Around 11am, we went to church to collect the church's old drum set and to ask the Baptist Theological Seminary(BTS) for the details on applying courses for my father. I bought the church's old drum set in order to replace my own drum set at home. The "new" drum set was from the quite a well known brand, Pearl, while my drum set was a China unknown brand, Boston.
In the late afternoon around 3pm, I returned PYSS to help out with the training because the competition was near and it would be in April and I could practice my 八卦掌 (A very powerful martial art) at the same time. Another reason of returning was because I heard that there are some problems were happening in between the teacher, the coach and the juniors.
In the middle of the training, suddenly I felt that my mobile phone, which was in my pocket truned very hot. I took my phone out from my pocket... There was a very strong burning smell and my sim card was burnt untill out of shape. It's lucky that both my sim card & memory card was not spoil.
It was very dangerous, so I sent my phone for service...

Today was the day of Yeah Show 2009 "唔生唔死" 布道会 and the Impresario 2009 Final. I returned to church for the rehearsal of the Yeah Show 2009 in the morning around 10am because I was the Magician of the day, and my job was to pose a question to the audience. I had my final rehearsal at 1.30pm before the actual event start, the actual event started from 2.30pm till 4.30pm.
But the rehearsal was not up to my own standard, I knew I could done better. I did better on my actually performance.
(Here is the link of the video,

The speaker, Rev. Lim, had a sense of humor, who was from Hong Kong and his message was really enjoyable and meaningful.
In the evening, I attended the Grand Final of Impresario 2009, which was organized by NTU together with Ah Bao, Xiang Long ans Stephanie. Shane's group, Violet Melody was 1 of the finalists. The other competitors were good too, it was not an easy battle. In the end, although Violet Melody and "WIN" had missed each other, I still think that they had done their best and they are good!!
