FOOD

since it's formation in february, my caregroup had...

chill out at acid bar.
chomp chomp + vodka + stayover @ edwin's

and today,

botakjones~!

haha. think we're indeed a crazy bunch of people. while everyone else are busy mugging for exams, there we are, enjoying good food. haha. besides, all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. ;P



mine! rosemary lambchop. oooh~


yizhong's chicken chop.


cheese~!

on the topic of food, after service on saturday, we went to Kopitiam at Le Meridian for dinner. And i tried something new. Phad Thai.

shuyi thought it was spicy. it is, slightly.
i thought it was delicious~! yum! it's sweet, a lil spicy, and a lil sour from the lime, which makes it very 开胃. there's also chopped peanuts for the crunch and fragrance. i'll definitely go for it again. =D

if you know me, or have seen me eat before, you would know that i hardly finish my food. usually i'll leave half the portion for the foodcourt auntie to clear. BUT, i finished my rosemary lambchop. AND my phad thai. hence, i conclude that although having a small apetite may have a certain degree of influence on whether or not i finish my food, the key factor of influence is the QUALITY of the food. As ieatishootipost says, don't waste your calories on yucky food!

next week, after exams finish, it'll be all hell break loose~! wahhaha.

尊敬


对你的信任、尊敬是越来越少了
（虽然一开始就不多）


世界人口有六十多亿
能成为家人 还真需要上帝的帮忙


但是
人对人所应有的基本礼貌，难道你不懂吗？


只能说
respect has to be earned




难道还要我说
母亲节快乐吗？

never really liked blogging about my spiritual life. what i learn. what God spoke to me about... think it's really personal.
and i feel like a pharisee whenever i do so.

so, until when i learn how to blog about my spiritual life...

until. is a waiting word.


1 Corinthians 11:26
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

We may not know the exact time and date at which Jesus will return, but we know for sure that He will return.



saturday service.

christie's sharing was very... emotional. haha. she asked questions that many of us would prolly try to avoid, not think about.

Giving up is the easy way out, but it is those who do not give up who truly make an impact.
Feelings are real. We should be honest to God about our feelings. Yet when we approach God, we should be willing to let go of our feelings, not holding back.

i think her sharing really tugged my heart.
i learnt to live one day at a time.
for you never know what is going to happen tomorrow. will i backslide? will i die? but i know what i have to do today. i just pray for enough strength to endure me till nightfall, bedtime, and soon it will be the next day.

reminds me. a lil more. my slogan for O levels.
a lil more, and exams will be over.
a lil more, and i'll soon see God's plans unfolding before me.

我想听：


许茹芸 《好听》
好久没听到她的歌声了。不知多久以前，我也曾买过他的专辑。
真得很好听。第一次听到有点毛站的感觉。 吴克群的创作能力不是盖的。



S.H.E 《中国话》
她们的绕口令，赞！

我想看：


没有人是该孤独的。
R21也。会是我的第一部R21电影。值得纪念。



刺青
每个刺青后，都有一个不为人知的秘密。
有可能也是R21。


台湾。同性恋。地震。

links.

have been thinking about...

who to link, and how i should go about asking permission for linking, and how troublesome it would be to ask every one for permission.

hence, i decided to link EVERYONE. default. haha. alphabetical order.


if you want me to link you, tag me. =)
if you want me to remove your link, tag me. =)
if you want me to update your link, tag me as well. =)

GREETINGS~! from a bunch of bo-liao people stuck in school.

haha. and this is what we do to express our level of bo-liao-ness.


presenting... yi-shyan + sweeleong + all things yellow.

for a full list of yellow items represented in this picture, please refer below.



;P

偶尔，真的该放慢脚步，想想自己的人生。

突然好想去海边。


好久好久没去海边了。

自从以前和你常去海边后，就不敢独自去海边了。


人。都会寂寞，也都会害怕寂寞。突然会觉得，自己在这世上，好孤独。我没义务去关心别人，别人也没义务要照顾或保护我。人与人之间，都是出于善心，或私心。我不是一个很注重朋友的人。自我心太强了吧。虽然我喜欢能和知己谈心的感觉，也喜欢和朋友出外party的感觉，但我不会很用心经营友谊。不会刻意找老朋友出来叙旧。也不会主动和线上朋友聊天。或许因为如此，我的朋友来了又走，来了又走。老时，我会不会变成一个孤独寂寞的老人呢？



有时，会突然觉得累了。想睡场觉，把世俗里的一切抛开，单纯地睡一场长长的觉。睡醒后，也许世界就会变得完美了。

再多八个小时……就开始考试了。

为什么。为什么？为什么？！




我没有即将考试的那种……感觉？

也许
我的心，早已开始放假了。


在学校闭关修炼的这阵子……

书桌


吃饭咯~！
还真感谢guanrui, nicholas 和 venetia 帮我们买饭！因为周末学校食堂没开，又不想吃麦当当。

国大考试 最辛苦的
是得埋头苦干的学生们吗？
是得批改上百份考卷的教授吗？
我觉得，是……

垃圾桶。
……不知道，这垃圾桶现在在想些什么啊？


总之，考试嘛……

是无聊的啦。

无关紧要，但就是想写

陶吉吉 与 曹格

其实陶吉吉这个人对我来说 是蛮重要的。
是挺欣赏他的音乐的啦。不过，
较主要的是，
每当人家问我 我姓什么？
我都会说 陶。陶吉吉的陶。

所以陶吉吉对我来说 是蛮重要的。

不知曾几何时，陶吉吉的父亲有一天在广播上听到了曹格的歌。以为那是陶吉吉的新歌。可能因为dj没把曹格的名字念清楚吧，听起来像陶吉吉。闹了场小误会。

又有一次，两次，或三次，曹格上节目时，主持人将“曹格”念成“陶吉吉”。

有那么复杂吗？

陶吉吉 曹格
傻傻分不清楚

爱哭鬼

小时候
看梁山伯与祝英台
我哭了
看titanic
我也哭

之后
看冬季恋歌
我又哭
看海豚湾恋人 第一集
我还是哭了

昨天
看引擎
看风之家被迫关闭
看孤儿一个一个被送走
我 再一次 哭了

rumble, rumble, rumble.

i'm glad i went home on monday night.


this piece of paper is supposed to motivate me to study for my exams.


see what edwin wrote on my motivating factor.

ben n jerry's had their free cone day on tues, 17th april.

while w.a.i.t.i.n.g. for wansia.


having faced the books for too long has left me feeling pretty anti-social.

didn't stay over in school yesterday night. went home to pick up notes i made for mid-term test, and to take up space on my bed.

when i was preparing to go to school this morning, i saw the news about the shooting in usa that took 30+ lives. if i'm not wrong, it's of the largest scale ever. as if it's a competition. see how many people you can kill before you kill yourself. damn.








was on the bus when i figured i should blog this down. but gary was quicker than me.

what a disappointing day.

jesse and wansia has to remember that botakjones is open closed on mondays.

洁希小姐今晚又睡不着哟……

从kl回来后，开始想了些事。自从我加入了gfc（garyfriendclub)，总觉得身旁的人会觉得我很疯、很迷gary、很浪费时间。



其实，我很庆幸自己找到了也加入了gfc。“格友站”，顾名思义，就是gary的朋友。gary自己说过，他不需要fans,他需要friends。而我们，就是他的friends。觉得gfc和其他的歌迷会不一样。起码，大多数的我们，不会追车，不会痴痴地守在他的酒店外，也不会因为他而逼得自己父母亲自杀。哈哈。那也太夸张了吧。

是因为gary的音乐，我们相识，但我们之间所建立的友情，却远远地超出了当初加入时所期望的，成为真正的朋友。我想，喜欢gary就是如此。支持好音乐，建立友情，希望身边的人也能从gary的音乐中找到幸福，所谓疗伤。



但是，我也认识到了几位极为少数的追星族。和其他人谈起这群追星族所做过的事时，我心里总是会想，为什么他们会做出这么多“疯狂”的事呢？也许是他们意识到了心中的空虚，想借由追迷艺人而试着填补那心中的空虚。但可悲的是，他们心中的空虚，是不能被这些事所填补的。因此，他们继续追星，追更多不同的歌星，更疯狂地追着、追着、追着。



他们几时才会懂，自己真正需要的并不是这些虚无缥缈的事？






我发现，我很喜欢用排比。哈哈。修辞学……

back.


to the most dreaded place in nus.
engineering block e1a.
in preparation for the exams.


i don't like bolding words. but i don't like exams. so i bold the word "exams".


but.
we should all be forward-looking.
hence.
i look forward to the holidays. no essays, no projects, no exams.
i look forward to gfc chalet. steamboat, bbq, loads of fun.
i look forward to matriculation events. faces, lives, souls.
=)

超好听的！

曹格的Angel(Demo)英文版。请听！=）

Forsaking Our Fears.

Fear is a control issue.
The thing is, we cannot be in total control of this life.


The worst thing that could happen to any human being is to not know why he's alive.
God created each and every one of us for a purpose.


"Fear not, for I am with you."
Our confidence lies not in our talents, nor in the amount of preparations, but simply in the presence of God.


If you really know that God is with you, everything changes.




Do you need God's peace in your life?
Do you know what's God purpose for your life?
Do you have God's presence in your life?

because i love taking pictures.








and i like acting like i'm high-tech when in fact i'm an IT idiot.

www.lomohomes.com/j.esse

i've been posting quite alot recently. have you been reading?!

Here's to julian, serene and julia, for all their efforts in south africa, lima, peru. They were featured in channel u's 《稀游记》. Really inspired by them, if i may reuse this word from shuyi. If you missed it, for whatever reasons, woe to you. Haha. No lah. Fret not, cuz jesse's 烂-pok phone recorded it down. Happy viewing, and may the love of God overwhelm.

Part 1


Part 2


Part 3


i wonder. when will i be ready for church planting?

超搞笑的啦~！
原来狗狗也蛮聪明的嘛。

pure ranting. 请勿在意。



pms吧。今天心情有些低落。



寂寞。是因为曾有人陪伴。



又有那种孤单的感觉。这世上，有真懂我的人吗？拼命地告诉自己就算找不到真懂我的人，还有主。闭上眼睛，主就在心中。但是，想必就连主也不愿见我如此。哎~


把你炸了，我的故事就结束了。把我炸了，你的故事还很长。
知道这是什么意思吗？

i went to DIGG out my childhood photos.

i remember some time ago qiaoping asked us to digg out our childhood photos also. i couldn't find mine. so here's to make up for it.


dunno what i was doing.


my brother.


my brother, my dad and me.


show you something. this was when i celebrated my bday in school.

notice the girl at the top right-hand corner. the jumping one. know who she is? ;p

fly me to the moon
and let me play among the stars
let me see what spring is like
on jupiter and mars

in other words
hold my hand
in other words
darling kiss me

fill my heart with song
and let me sing forever more
you are all i long for
all i worship and adore

in other words
pls be true
in other words
i love you

this song's been stuck in my head for 2 days now.

pics from before kl trip.

独自在学校读书至八、九点。走去巴士车站的途中，听到猫咪凄凉的哭叫声。见到了它。终于，随身携带着的猫食物派上了用场。



上学途中，在巴士车上赶作业时，发现笔记型电脑里的云很美。


傍晚。喜欢天空的蓝，它照暗了街边的树。

偶回来咯~！

匆忙地离去，竟忘了事先告别。嘻。不过，偶回来咯~！

这次是偶第一次去kl也。没带回来了yizhong要求的土产，也没买多少手信，只带回了很多很多张照片。娃哈哈。

kl之旅，就如阿霞所说，是感触良多嘀。住在唐人街的小酒店。见到那儿的人的生活方式，觉得……怎么说呢？感觉很像是进入了另一个世界。一个我从未体验过的世界。一直以来，我被灌输着“现在努力读书，以后就能找份好的工作，赚多点钱，过好点的生活。”的观念。在唐人街，见到年幼的小妹妹帮忙看店，也见到年老的老伯一人看管着路边的小煎饼摊。心，很酸。在新加坡，我吵着不够钱花，不能买漂亮的衣服、包包。他们呢？突然间，买衣服的欲望全没了。

在一个自来水须煮过才能喝的城市，这几天，我很少喝水。常得买矿泉水。也让我懂得珍惜新加坡可饮的自来水。

可能这只是吉隆坡这大城市其中的一面。想想，和世界其他更加落后的地区比起来，这……算什么呢？

唉~ 偶不多说了。上载些照片吧。
