Hello PEOPLE!
im back WITH A NEW CRAZIE HAIR COLOUR!
Soooo.. went to cut my hair and re-dye my hair as well.. cox all my highlighted colour is alreadi almost gone and faded.. hahaha.. so did a whole head dye and some highlight.. Colour went wrong due to my stupidity and hence resulted in one crazie colour.. hahah...
The Folks dancing..
(a bit blur though)
Went to Simei for dinner on friday and saw this bunch of people dancing LINE dance in front of the east point shoppin mall.. wats shocking is that it realli widened my perspective of Line dance and that it is not onli for adults and elderly.. but even youth can dance in it as well.. i saw a few realli young people dancing together with them and they dance realli well... they are just like our age and that they are dancing line dance.. i was realli amazed by that and their passion for dancing... just like the saying goes..
"Dancing is not to impress but to express"
Be it Hip Hop, Street Jazz, B-Boy( break dance), reggae, modern dance and even dances like line dancing and walts.. if the person have the passion for dance.. all these is not a problem to them.. and naturally the person WONT feel ashamed for he/she is expressing himself/herself thru the dance and the music.. and of course.. expressing the music thru the dance as well.. Dancing is like a 2 way interconnected way of expression.. the dancer will express himself/herself thru the dance and thru the dance.. hence express the essence of the music that the person is dancing to.. every music have a essence to it and that the dance can bring that whole essence of dance to a whole new level...
Alright... enough of dancing...
NEXT!
Went over to church on Sat for the Easter concert... and in the service.. the LORD's presence is realli very tangible and that the word speaks thru my soul.. its just touched mi realli deeply... This verse came and it says this...
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for YOUR SAKES, he became poor, so that you through HIS poverty might become rich!"
2 Corinthian 8:9
This verse is very true to mi and realli allow mi to feel the Love of GOd.. Not onli in the area of finance.. but in everything.. HE become poor JUST so that we can have wat we wanted... and that we dun even deserve any of His blessing in the first place.. but yet.. He is willing to sacrifice himself and emptied himself for our purpose... It just realli dawn on mi how Great the Lord is and how much love He has for the people that he created... All of us in one way or another... often seen ourselves going through some troubles.. met some people we dun like or have crossed our boundaries and offended us.. but since the Lord can even forgive that and still bless the person.. why cant we? It might be hard i know but sometimes.. all we have to do is just try... take that FIRST step of FAITH and try forgiving that person whom we needa forgive.. it might be friends.. family.. collegues or even yourself!
Pastor preached something bout movies.. that we often see the heroes of the movies seeking revenge and eventually become heroes of the show.. but the REAL HEROES are those who FORGIVE.. for what reward and greatness is there in taking a revenge back onto the person who offended you... you just make urself the same as that person.. and both parties does not gain anything but instead gotten a worser and strained relationship with each other.. but if u take a step back and forgive.. u are the one with great magnitude and grace... and instead of retaliating back... u should help the person more to get him/her back onto the right track.... For God did the same thing as well.. God always forgive our sins when we are truly repentant and NO MATTER HOW BAD the person are.. as long as he/she is repentant... God not only forgives... He still give the person another chance and opportunity to achieve greater success and shine for God...
The greatest ting in life is not only to receive but to gives... why nurse a grudge when u know its not doing any one gud... and that it is detrimental as well.. but instead.. use it to help that somebody... they needed help... No one is perfect and that everyone has their shortcomings... so its inevitable that someone might just offend u or make u angry and pissed off.. and when u help that person.. in turn..when the person fully gets back onto the right track... the sense of achievement is indescridable... and that u also gain new strength of magnanimous and grace towards others... Dun underestimate the power of grace and magnanimous.. Everyone is selfish to a certain extent and.. if we could just.. just put aside ourselves.. and start looking around.. or even better.. focus on the LORD... life can be a wonderful and meaningful thing.... the people around u can be very beautiful.. be it in appearance or in character... and with GOD... with the Faith in GOD.. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
This week i was feeling sooo tied down and that i nearly lose myself along the way... and that after the whole sermon... i realised for the past few weeks.. im focusing on myself.. its me me and more me... i never tot of God.. and that i took Him for granted... i realise how stupid i am when i realise how many "I" came out.. i kept on focusing on all the negative tings in my life.. and how people treats me differently and that why cant i be treated just like anyone else.. and that i wont be treated as an obselete.. but when i turned back and look at the wonderful ting that God has done in my life.... that He still remain faithful and that im still holding on and still alive and kicking... and all the other blessing that he has given mi.. life has become a whole new meaning to mi and all the while.. the onli person i cant forgive is myself for all the tings that i have done... but during the svc.. suddenly pastor was telling us to forgive the people that we needa forgive.. i kept on searching for people to forgive and found none.. and then pastor said this: "that person might be YOU, YOURSELF, that needs to be forgiven".. just by hearing that.. it totally woke my up and yuppz.. i forgiven myself and that God has also forgiven mi...
SO people.. forgive and be magnanimous and graceful.... u never knows wat u will gets in return!

Sunday (2/3/08)
F.I.R
YUPPZ! The Taiwanese Pop band, F.I.R came to my church on the weekend services and their singing is so superb when we actually hear it live in church. They have received christ last year and is now attending at Taipei New LIfe church, affliated with City Harvest Church. It feels kinda weird like on a sunday morning.. we actually got the chance to watch a "mini concert" from them.. And next year, there will be EMERGE conference! i cant wait for that to come man... its soo gonna be cool and bigger than before.. but i missed out the previous emerge conference.
Emerge Conference is a conference for the youth and there will be plenty of activities and concerts put up by different pop artists, ranging from F.I.R to Tank and last year, for taiwan's emerge conference, JAY CHOU came! hahahha. sooo its kinda like a big event in a way...
TODAY (3/3/08)
Okaye.. so today i woke up from a call again.. and its from East Spring Sec again.. but this time they realli do need Relief teaching.. by the way this time they called mi at 7 and told to be there as fast as i can.. hahaha. but in the end i ended up being slightly a bit late.. i reach the school at 8.10 whereby classes start at 8.05.. so when i reach the sku.. the admin stuff quickly handed mi the school layout and the relief teaching classes. went to my first class, which happens to be a normal technical stream class, and its rather hard to handle at first, given that im only older than them a few years, but they are cool.. they might be noisy and talkative but they do listen.
Then headed to my second class, which is a Sec 4 Express class, this class is at a extreme opposite from the previous class i relief.. they were SUPERB QUIET... and they realli just sat there and do the work assigned to them... and spoke to some of the students in the class, they were willing to listen and obey. some of them are rather weak in maths (by the way all the class i relief today, is under the maths dept), but they are willing to try and work harder after some motivation... i tink in life, people do need some motivation at times to move along..
After that went to my third class ( which is supposed to be my last class for the day), another sec 4 express class, but they are sooo noisy that i have to be slightly sacarstic and nasty to them, like confiscating their tings and stuff.. realli hard to handle that class.. nevermind...
I THOUGHT that im done for the day as my shift is over and i finished teaching the respective assigned classes, but then i was told that i have to stay in the school for at least 5.5 hours, so they told mi to go to the staff room and slack... did wat i was told and was talking to the teachers over there.. funny bunch of teachers..they can realli gossip and talk crap man.. hahahahaa..
And dunno why, the whole sku teachers seem to know which teacher im reliefing and was talking to mi and welcoming mi. hahhaa.. then the HOD of Science dept came and spoke to mi.. told mi there is a sci teacher that is on MC for a week alreadi due to some things that happened to her.. so she wanted mi to cont teaching for the rest of this week, but not confirm, they will call mi if they need further help from mi..
Went up to my last class which i was further assigned to, together with another HOD teacher, and was doing some leadership qualities with the class, cox it was supposed to be assembly but there isnt, so like usual, they needa stay in class and their form teacher is absent.
Overall, it is a really different working experience for mi and i enjoyed interacting and teaching the students in the school. They may be rather difficult to control and handle but with the right method and attitude towards the students, they can be rather nice as well. I tink because of my age ( and my crazily long and coloured hair), i can interact and relate to the students better and realli be like a friend to them instead of a teacher, whom they wont give a heck to. hahhaa.. i still remember their expression when they first saw mi.. every classes that i went to, they were like "are u a teacher?" hahhaa.. ur hair is soo cool and long... one student even told mi, " i tink u are the hippest teacher i ever come across, the rest of the teacher in the school dun realli have fashion sense". when i heard that.. i just cant help but laugh.. like thats how they think of their teachers in school, appearance and fashion wise.
okaye.. so im done for the day..realli tired.. shall see u guys soon! =)
