ChurchConfirmation in 4 days. Gosh, i can feel my balls shrinking already. But despite that, please do not assume that i'm scared or anything, it's just a feeling that triggers the same kind of reaction. How do i describe it in further detail uh.......let's see.........er........uhm....I GOT IT. Imagine you've been lost at sea for 2 weeks straight. No food. No (drinkable)water. Then all of a sudden a rescue boat comes out of no where and pulls you up, wraps you in a warm towel and gives you a cup of coffee. The ball-shrinking should happen between the time when you see the boat and when you land your ass on it. This, however, only applies to guys. As for girls.... i am not 100% clear. Yet.
I can't believe that i'm actually gonna be reading again for another sacrament... I mean like come on, have a little variety of people man. Not to mention how much of a bad reader i am. There are plenty of better-speaking fish in the barrel, why'd the hook have to come for me? Oh wells, the Lord works in mysterious ways. meh.
Am kinda excited for the confirmation song. The last time i sang into a microphone with a group was....around 5 years ago. Before puberty broke my harp and turned it into a blender. Yeah, it's that bad. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, i'm going to be singing with a whole bunch of people, so i guess it wont be too bad. Either that or the badness is gonna be amplified, but let's not hope for that eh...
think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts.Was talking to Cherie the other night and after that conversation i feel somewhat
insignificant weird when i see people like Adriel, Amanda, Brenda, Cherie, Kenneth, Maria, Daniel and Joshua (just to name a few) do what they do. Adriel, Amanda and Maria can play the piano. Brenda, Cherie (ok lah, i include kenneth OK?)and kenneth can play the clarinet. Kenneth can play the violin like that.....woman...something storm? I dunno. Haha. Musical retardation alert.
Maria and Amanda can play the guitar. Joshua dances like a butterfly on drugs. And Daniel can do so many things that words alone aren't enough to describe it. Cards, Lighters. Jeez.
I'm kinda proud to know that there are so many talented people in my class, although i cant do nuts. Haha.
So..yeah. Cath class is ending. And there's nothing anyone can do about it. Ok maybe some people with power underneathe their fingernails can, but nothing a regular joe like me can do. Saturdays are gonna be that much more meaningless. But things'll come, and i'll take them. Anyday.
SchoolAh yes, the dreaded school.... Since the school holidays or "study break" as adults call it, began, I haven't had the ability to drag my ass to the desk, lift the pile of papers to the table, painstakingly pick a pen up, and do so much as to write my name. Yes, it's that bad. And to top it all off, Influenza A/swine flu/ H1N1 is giving me mixed feelings. Will school close? Will it mutate into a more lethal strain? Will I get it? Will anyone i care about get it? Will we all die? I dont know, i dont care. As long as school's closed, i'll smile. The stupid VE project is screwed. I mean, 15k in 3 months.... Insanity. But that's what NTH advised us to do. Think big. Dream big. I sure hope that doesn't lea to big screwups and big problems. Oh wells. I guess all i can do now is go to school.... Sheesh. More stringent medical procedures are gonna be put in place in school. Temp checks at gates. Twice-daily temp checks. Soon enough we'll have people suffocating themselves in biohazard suits and hide in an airlock room...
Paranoia. What to do?
I guess this is it for this post. I don't blog often. For obvious reasons. Ok maybe not so obvious. But whatever. Haha....

Just started watching Hell's Kitchen. Heard it was good. At least that's what my sister claims. Now i'm trying to blog in 15 mins cos House is starting at 10pm. This post is for the many people who claim my blog is dead.
THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD!
(yet)So yeah. Holidays are Jam-packed with trainings and stuff... But then again i have other commitments. Like Church and School etc etc. Sometimes i think my life's a mess. A total disaster.
But then again, it has it's happy moments. BUT then again, the bad things outnumber the good a hundred to one. One of the many reasons why i blog is cos i'm bored. Another one is cos Cherie, Amanda (yes, both of you) and Maria and other peeps want me to blog. It's all futile anyway. I mean, come on, face the truth. This.blog.will.die.(eventually).
On a brighter note, I went to Maria's house on Sunday to practise the song that we're gonna be singing. I must say, everyone has gone a long way. Especially Amanda. Pumping in all that effort and brain juice to come up with such an excellent song takes talent. Natural talent. Pity i'm musically retarded. So i can forget about getting a job that is, in any way, related to music.
So yeah, we left for Maria's house after Mass, Warden's Meeting and Emm practice. That day, was the very first day i actually touched an electric guitar. It's so.....complicated. Knobs here, switches there. Sigh.... Called mom to ask if i could skip tuition. Surprisingly, she let me skip. The little boy in my was like, leaping for joy. HAHAHAHAHHAAAHA. We then recorded the song using kenneth's handphone. Sending it to ben for approval. Haha... This is the first time in a long long long long long long long(try 5 years) that i've performed on stage for singing. Haha.... I'm not sure if i'm gonna pass out of throw up. Whichever comes first. Which reminds me, i haven't gotten my confirmation clothes yet.... Hmm... all white.... gonna feel like snow white. Haha....
To my great disappointment, the I.T show is over. Thanks for breaking the news to me Ben(neo).... I really appreciate it....Oh wells, i guess i just have to order it off the net. HAHA. BUT Ben(neo) said that there's a new one coming out in 3 months.... SIAN...
Oh, and you must be wondering what the title of this post has to do with anything by now. It's this stupid video that Ben(neo) told me to watch. And i dont regret watching it. It's stupid, yet entertaining enough that you can watch it repeatedly and not get tired of the same old words. HAHAHAHHA. Ok, gonna watch House now, Blog another time. MUHAHAHAHAH
Here's the link to that vid.

~Jesus had shown himself alive to the apostles his Passion by many demonstrations. For forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God. When he had been at table with them, he told them not to leave jerusalem, but to wait there for what the father had promised. "It is," he had said, "what you have heard me speak about: John baptized with water but you. not many days from now, will be baptized with the Holy Spirit
Now having met together, they asked him, " Lord, has the time come? Are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He replied, "It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judea and Samaria, and indeed to the ends of the earth"
The word of the Lord~
That, my friends, is what is going to be coming out of my mouth on the 28th June 2009. I'll probably be quaking underneath my....uh...whatever i'm going to be wearing on that day.
Confirmation. I've never really given much thought to it till today. During the past 9 or so years the only reason why i attended catechism was friends and, well, "family support". The teachers came and went. They spoke of biblical passages and parables, miracles and Holy wonders, the Power of the Love of God and other teachings.
But what the teachers 3 years ago failed to do was to successfully relate to the students. Maybe it's just because they're adults and stuff, but something about their looks reminded me of, well, teachers. When the new batch of teachers took over our classes, they brought along with them a sense of change, something...different. They bore the young faces that would reflect what we would potentially become. In previous years it was all text book this text book that. However, when the sec 1 term started, we were issued notebooks. Notebooks that would eventually be filled to the (almost) brim with frenzied scribbling of beatitudes and Commandments and funny doodles almost 3 years later.
Sigh...Memories...
I still vaguely remember the days when i spent my Sunday mornings laughing and talking with a few of my closest buddies. Days when the guys and the girls were separated like oil and water. Days when i would actually be told to shut up(but nicely, of course) when i talked too much. Days which i didn't treasure enough.
Shocking, though, that so much has changed since then. Maybe all that was needed to make the class grow together was a catalyst in the form of a camp. I don't recall there every being a class camp where we could ACTUALLY sit down and talk. Or at least try to. Now the girls and the guys see eye to eye. Cracking jokes here and there.
Oh wells, i guess confirmation isn't really an end, but the beginning of a new chapter in my catholic life. A new stage of the game commonly known as life.
