visited the bishan library last saturday after returning my punch card to the company. the place is like duber luper big! i grabbed a book on war law and another one which is a collection of all the speeches made by Dr Martin luther king, jr. what inspired me the most is Dr King's 'I have a Dream' speech. the climax of a dramatic fight against injustice in America, Dr King says the fight is not against the white, but they fight against what is unrighteous and unjustified. Besides winning the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, in 1965 the American Jewish Committee presented King with the American Liberties Medallion for his "exceptional advancement of the principles of human liberty." what good is of a man if he doesnt make the world a better place?

I found out that im starting to blog only on the weekends. bcus usually my weekdays are spent in school or at home dota-ing. lets re-fresh what happened this whole week.
Monday- nth much, the usual IM day. had a pool outing with the current EMRS peoplev after Tep. wei ming, joe, melvin, daniel and me. starting i was owning, then wei ming stopped me while i was aiming for my 'wicked sick'. playing pool was once my 'favourtitest' past time, its still enjoyable knocking balls down the pockets. mid way through the game with daniel, i received a msg from meh-meh. caused me to think abt what happened in school ( how i jumped out and scare her). so i was laughing in my heart for a couple of minutes or so. on the next break, my cue ball jumped out of the table! and it landed on the foot of a muscular middle-aged man. daniel went to pick it up, my second try was exceptionally brillant. the cue ball followed exactly the same route as it took for my 1st break. and unfortunately it landed on the same foot of the same man. tats how brillant my jump ball is. for a second i was worried if the man will come and confront me. he didnt.me- relieved.
Tueday- nth much happened in school. but FINALLY... got to play soccer after school. i wasnt match fit after 6 weeks out without touching the ball. for the 1st time i was out of stamina. like any other soccer day, i was runnin all over the pitch and breaking up the opponent's attacking play, tats basically my job in the team. i want to be fitter and faster in order to keep up with my expectations. although im faster then most players in the field, i need to be the FASTEST in order to be the best. and i really need to train on my positional discipline. if im supposed to play as a holding mid, then i shldnt be venturing to the attack so much. i was playing more like a box-to-box player though my strongest position is defensive mid. that probably caused my team to concede a few goals, even though no one realised it was indirectly my fault. i wasnt around to 'hold' the opponent's attack.
Wed- really nth much in school again. my leg is feeling the ache from ytd's soccer, particularly my tighs. went home after tep.
thurday- did lots of sai kang and was carrying fixtures ard the school. tired..
basically, thats my week. im craving for more next week.

ronaldo in completely scintillating form. electrifying.
thanks pple! im still alive and kicking. its not bothering me that much, i like to analyse everything that happens around me when i have the spare time to do so. therefore, the previous entry is just some thoughts i churned out when i had nothing to do. anw still a big thank you to all of u!
last week i bonded very well with my class' emrs pple. although we didnt get to go for a drink on friday. went out with Joe, chun hong and chuu jye almost everyday. since daniel had to do closing for most of last week, i went home with Joe almost everyday. im so glad for joe, ch and cj. they seem to have found alot of frens in emrs. i used to think that Joe is very introverted, but by observing the way he suan wei ming and melvin, i noe his not. lolz. and chun hong and chuu jye is also starting to mix around well and talking alot. ping shen is as usual very crappy, but tats what makes him special. seldom see ben le, but at least still got play some dota with him. cant wait for the next semester where all the guys will re-unite once again.
kind of miss my secondary school, JC and MI friends. went out with the MI friends last week and im really SOOO HAPPY to see them once again! as for the jc frineds, im only in close contact with Vic and wei ting. hoping to see them soon. i miss the times in cjc, mi and sji. still can remember all the times we played soccer in the rain, those are the sji days. then the whole group of us graduated and ended up in CJC. but before that i went to MI. there i found lots of great friends like ju ting, wai ngar and victor. miss all the time we had conference call every night.lolz. then the cjc era came. although i did wasted that year by playing through it, i knew a great deal of true friends. we did have lots of fun, but we also helped each other thru hard times. Wei ting was always there for me and vice versa. Vic was always there for me and vice versa. and its also during the days of CJC that i knoe Chuu jye. he was a quiet guy sitting beside me in class. wasnt close to him at that time bcus he spoke no word. but soon, we chose to drop out bcus our results were appalling. and who noes, we ended in the same class in NYP. i think it's more then pure coincidence and i truely thanked God for a companion like him. and we began to noe each other in greater depths. at the time in nyp i also knew true brothers. like leslie and eilton. an ULTRA BIG THANK YOU TO U GUYS WHO SHAPED MY LIFE. also i special thanks to Vic, matthew and leslie for drawing me close to God at times i needed concil-ing. without the 3 of u, i wud still be the violent brute i used to be.
thanks for suppressing my anger and teaching me how to smile despite all circumstances. =)
-thanks-

i think im getting on someone's nerves, so i shall stop treating him/her like daniel anymore.lol. I always suan daniel bcus I noe he can take it, Im close to him, he will treat everything I said as a joke and most imptly, he really ask for it! haha.. rite hor Eunice?
haiz, now i really wished that i was in cheers! i am genetically accustomed to do manual labour, its inside my blood.. I like to be ordered to carry boxes and cartons around. I love cashiering. and most imptly, bcus of the friends in Cheers. when Ms Chia tell me to up and help cheers im like sooo happy lahz! but... if i go up unecessasrily, ms chia and mr chan will definitely see me lazing around cheers through the cctv. I think im struggling to adapt to life in IM, everyday im counting down to sign out, im looking for a chance to go cheers and i look forward to do finance. i just dun wanna be stuck in that IM room. im ok with the pple in IM, but i guess its just maybe different frequency. I cannot agree with everything they are doing. sometimes i dunnoe why pple gets irritated with yong wee so easily, he mean no harm at all with all his jokes. anw he didnt meant to laugh at us when we were scolded by Ms Chia the other day. life will be abit dull-er if i hadnt noe yw. seriously. another thing is, if u want me to do something, pls order me, i dun mind being ordered around... if not i might think i have nth to do after i have completed my things. and when i have got nth to do, its either i die of restlessness, or i make fun of pple until they die.. i simply cant keep still for a moment unless im doing something or im in deep thoughts. so i've figured out the best way: read my death note when i got nth to do.
sometimes i think its unfair to critisize Ms Ch*a until like that, i used to think she was too fierce. but soon i came to accept the fact that she is our supervisor and came to accept her for who she really is (A super fierce supervisor that is). no matter how badly she scold me, i will make sure i will not retaliate and complain. partial obedience is not obedience at all. the world revolves around this word called Obedience and if theres no absolute obedience to ur superiors, then theres absolutely no order. secondly, I also want to make sure I will never gossip behind her back anymore. pls gimme a slap if i ever complain abt her again. this shall be my 1st promise to God. anw, its esier said then done.
I need to learn to shut up when i have nth to do. it seems that whenever i have nth to do, no internet to surf, i will be shaking my leg and making random comments, one of my favourite past-times. i think i shld just shut up when i got nth to do. talking will only make pple dislike u more Paul Chung! a wise man is a man of few words. and thats the second promise i made to God. again, its easier said then done.
but i'll try.
to the someone, didnt noe u took wat i say seriously, really sorry if i have offended u.=(
i have come so far in taming my tongue and killing my violent behaviours of the past and i will make sure it never comes back again. i have heard so many sermons regarding obedience so theres no reason why my rebellious side shld be prevailing. it got to end.

i wore my superman shirt today! and it fits well. hehe, thank God it fits or else i wld have wasted 39 bucks.
still deciding if i shld play soccer tmr or go see shoes with Chun Hong and Joe. but either way i will be happy! its great to mingle with frens ur comfortable with.
does science contradict God? was Jesus really historically proven? is the Evolution theory just a myth or issit a truth? is there such a term called Theistic Evolution?
people say its either u believe in Darwin's Evolution theory or u believe in the Creation account.But i have incidentally came across this man as i read through the latest issue of Times magazine. Francis Collins, a great genetic scientist and a christian himself believes in the term Theistic Evolution. Interesting. shall get one of his books from kino one day. Francis was debating with this Guy named Richard Dawkins. Richard Dawkins is voted as the 3rd most intellectual man of 2006. he is a committed atheist ( someone who doesnt believe in a Creator). religion and God is always a source of debate in America. talking abt intellectuals, the 1st person that pops up in mind is Pope Benedict XVI, touted as the most intellectual Pope of all time. constantly debating about the existence of objective truths vs relativism. In the discussion with secularism and rationalism, one of Benedict's basic ideas can be found in his address on the "Crisis of Culture" in the West, a day before Pope John Paul II died, when he referred to Christianity as the Religion of the Word (the original Greek, Logos, meaning reason, meaning, or intelligence) this is exactly quoted from him : From the beginning, Christianity has understood itself as the religion of the Logos, as the religion according to reason...It has always defined men, all men without distinction, as creatures and images of God, proclaiming for them...the same dignity. In this connection, the Enlightenment is of Christian origin and it is no accident that it was born precisely and exclusively in the realm of the Christian faith....It was and is the merit of the Enlightenment to have again proposed these original values of Christianity and of having given back to reason its own voice... Today, this should be precisely [Christianity's] philosophical strength, in so far as the problem is whether the world comes from the irrational, and reason is not other than a 'sub-product,' on occasion even harmful of its development -- or whether the world comes from reason, and is, as a consequence, its criterion and goal...In the so necessary dialogue between secularists and Catholics, we Christians must be very careful to remain faithful to this fundamental line: to live a faith that comes from the Logos, from creative reason, and that, because of this, is also open to all that is truly rational.[24]
bcus of his views on 'faith and reasoning' he was under fire from the muslims.
Lets debunk the myth that Intellectuals cannot believe in a God of Love
One day i will be a great Apologetic!! LOlz

You are The Sun
Happiness, Content, Joy.
The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.
Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.
The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
Im the Sun and im going to burn all of u to death!

天空下起雨了
她撐的傘在你身邊陪著
可是我不快樂
因為看見她臉上的笑
是很勉強的
＊我很想愛她
但是眼睛在說謊
隱瞞比較容易吧
免得感情變的複雜
我很想愛她
但是理智在吵架
退出可以解圍嗎
誰能給我一個好的回答＊
愛情是模糊的
可憐的是沒有勇氣選擇
如果再捨不得
這樣下去我們每個人
都是受害者
REPEAT＊
當愛情陷在危險邊緣
是否都會傷痕累累
是否都會苦不堪言
REPEAT＊＊
愛情教會我們都放不下
terrific song! i changed all the 他s into 她s. Lol, 我不想愛.....他.
