I'm back, and I'm sec 4.

Hi,
I'm back. It's been 533 days since I last posted on this blog, and many things have happened in that last 533 days.
For starters, Os are coming to an end. You know who everyone used to go "When Os are over, I'm going to..."? Now, it's becoming a reality. It feels so surreal, the fact that 10 years of education have just come and gone.
Prom is on the 22nd. I'm the emcee. That's something to remember. I've never gotten a hosting gig so big before. Here's hoping that I'll be as good as Neil Patrick Harris was on the Emmys in 2009.
In church, I've became a MM. It's really an honor. Looking back at past me in 2009, and the present me, I think I've changed a lot. I was just talking to Elena over MSN a few days ago, and I realized something interesting. You know how when you walk down the street, and you see someone who looks exactly like you? That's a "Doppelganger". It's German for "look-alike".
It's interesting how over time, we all become our own doppelgangers. We all change into this person who looks exactly the same, but with extremely different characteristics. Whether good or bad. This makes me wonder, is doppelganger Samuel the better version, or the worse version. By God's grace, I'm sure it's the better version.
I'm going to be very busy with church stuff after Os. I'm excited. I can't wait to see what God's planned for me to do. It's a labour of love. Something that you want to do. Trouble that you simply can't live without. Like how a mother wakes up during unearthly hours in the middle of the night to tend to her baby. Or like how the love-sick boyfriend goes out of his way and jeopardizes his schedule for that day just to meet his girlfriend. It's trouble that we welcome.
That's how God sees it. When we ask him for something, we always feel as if we are troubling him. "Abba, can you please give me an A1 for this?" or "Abba, can you please give me more favor with my parents?" It's almost as if we have to beg God for something.
That's not how it's like. He's the boyfriend who runs to your house when you tell him you miss him. He's the mother who wakes up when he hears the softest squeak come from your room. He's the fireman who dashes in to the burning house to pull you out of it.
He does it because he loves. He loves the 'trouble'. Most importantly, He loves you.

Thank You, God.

You know how it feels when you don’t expect something, but it suddenly gives you a surprise by popping up in front of you?
That’s what happened to me today.
Mr. Tan apparently consolidated all our mid year results, and calculated our L1R5 and stuff. So he showed us during recess.
Naturally, everyone ran to him, like kids running to a candy store. I’m no exception.
You see, he arranged the class ranking, in order of results, which means the ones with the better marks are on top, and the ones below, are the, erm. You get the point. Well, as soon as I got the list, I looked towards the bottom of the list, where I had expected my name to be. I mean, not really all the way at the bottom, but maybe lingering around the 35th to 25th position.
But no.
Guess where I was.
4th position.
No. It’s not because I studied. Truth be told, I didn’t really study for mid years, and those who are closer to me can tell you that I was panicking a week before Mid years.
Yes. It’s God. I don’t want to sound preachy, but I know it’s not me.
So yes. I’m a Christian, and I’m proud.
Before I forget, Happy Birthday, Ray.

Today is a good day.
Because I heard people screaming their lungs out to become an "idol". Haha.
Because I didn't need to go for inline skating.
Because I almost broke my phone, but it didnt break.
Becasue I didn't need to audtition today.
Because I realised NCO council is great.
Because I'm loved by God.
Thanks to

Because the exams are over.

Exams are over. So I guess I can relax. Wait. I can't. Why? Because I just got back my results. Ok, to be frank, its not all bad.
Lets not talk about it. Anyways, there's going to be NCO meeting tomorrow, so I'm kind of looking forward to that, more than inline skating as a post exam activity. I don't understand why we just can't do our own things as post exam. Teachers. No one ever understands them.
Ray finally switched on his PS3, so I'm going to stop blogging, and start playing.
Bye.

OK, so basically it just means that I should start mugging for MYEs. I don't want to elaborate further.
304 is getting, rather fun. Espicially when there is a Korean sitting beside you, that asks you for a piece of addictive chocolate every 1 hour.
Well, there's going to be NCO council meeting tomorrow. I sense possible tension in the future. OMG I sound like some Jedi from Star Wars.
I just want to end off with one thing: Ryan Higa rocks.

Just another day.

Hello.
Speech Day and Enrollment are both over. So that basically tells me that I'm left with 3 weeks to study for
MYEs. God, help me.
Responsibility is a huge word. Both
literally and physically.
Now there's one more thing on my plate.

Sports Day.

Hah.
Well, to start off, I just want to make one thing clear. I'm very very tired.
Anyway, I also realised something. Its not easy to lead a cheer when no one cheers with you.
CCA leaders are fun.
Just a random comment.
I love doing the salute with Irham.
Take history, maybe then you'll realise what I mean.
