world aids day

hey peeps!

yeah, since the debate is going on, i should brief u all on what im doing here.
basically, i am in this stop aids campagining society, and we have planned a week's of events on uni. i have to say that its really very condom focused, besides raising awareness and everything. i totally understand where wen hao is coming from, and in an ideal situation thats how it should be. we should not be even promoting premarital sex. but, our culture now says otherwise. its so rampant already, isn it better to make sure that HIV doesn go spreading, instead of trying to brainwash everyone not to have sex? of course that should be the long term initiative, but direct impactful results, practically, really, at least in a ang moh culture, is to give out condoms. people are having sex left right center. last year in my hall,the guys floor corridor is full of sex noises coming from one room. its disgusting. but even your own neighbor is having sex and describing the entire experience to you. and really, ppl nowadays are gonna say its their right to do what they want with their bodies. i guess as anti-premarital sex ppl, we can only advice them. as much as i want to believe that we can really campaign to tell ppl NOT TO HAVE SEX, the main concern here is AIDS. and perhaps smt with the most instant results will be safe sex.
maybe in msia in wont be a good idea, but not in UK. if u dont give out, ppl just dont use it, or buy a cheap one. pls loh, girls here also ask for it. go to clubs to find one night stands. guys dont even need to pull girls, girls offer themselves on auto mode. its disgusting and sleezy. last year i went to this club at leceister sq and i had to run away fr 4 guys withtin an hr. it was such an uncomfortable feeling...nowadays i dont even go anymore. and i wont go anymore if it isn a student event.
besides condoms, we are having NGO speakers and ppl who are involved in this aids stuff for many years to speak to students. and we have video screenings and free testing for hiv etcetc. quite cool. im really passionate bout this cause.

oh, its also the christain union's mission week this week, so they are having quite cool talks about christianity. one of it is ' how can a loving God allow suffering' and another one is ' how can i be so sure that i will go to heaven'. its cool.

anyway, im acting in some skit for ocf chrismtas outreach party...i cant believe im acting and singing in the choir. oh , and wh, my ocf retreat was really really good. the speaker was angmoh, who lived in indonesia for 10 yrs, and prob another 10 yrs in spore, and he is good frens with francis yeo !! how cool is that. his stories are super supre interesting. i will tell u some when i get back home. haha.

anyway, ive been cooking quite a lot lately, and i din know i could even bake a cheesecake, altho it tasted like vanilla ice cream. hahaah.
take care ppl. when are ur hols in dec?? hope u guys don haf exams on christmas eve.
im still kinda pissed off that i cant play any tennis tournaments this term cuz of my back. my first physio seesion is next tues...how pathetic is the NHS, after like 2 mth only contact me. either i would have recovered or ....

hey peeps!

ok, you guys must be wondering why my letters are in blue, but well, the sky is so blue today, and it hasnt been like that for ages... so, decided to live up with it

i was reading up on my GIT, and suddenly world aids day just crossed my mind... so i decided to blog about it.. that day, as me and nana were having a meeting with our president of crusaiders club (its an aids-awareness club thingie), the president, named X told us that they are giving out condoms to the uni students during world aids day, which is gonna be on 1st dec.. i was like, what the.... I DISAGREE.. some might say, "well, we are promoting safe sex... they are gonna do it anyway, so we shd give them.. at least it is protected to a certain degree"... but dont you think that we should promote "abstinence instead of safe sex"... then some might reply "well, ppl nowadays have sex left-right-centre... its difficult to tell ppl to refrain from having sex, but its better if we promote safe sex".... hrmm.. its kinda thru, as that day, i came across an article in the newspaper, saying that ppl having sex anywhere... car...disco.. toilet.. parents bedroom.. wherever...

hrmmm.. but then again, regardless, i think giving a condom to someone actually tempting the person whether directly or indirectly.. by holding on to it... dont you think that ppl will actually use it... some might say, they can go and buy anyway, why not we just give it to them... but still, buying it is another issue.. from my perspective.. its kinda embarassing to go get one at the store.. and rather difficult as some ppl might ask if you are legal and stuff... i was thinking, if we dont give them a condom, you are actually reducing the chances of them having sex, but giving them one, you are telling them "hey man.. you know its ok to have sex.. but make sure you use condom.. safe sex you see"...

so to what extent ppl agree.. i dont know.. but i so totally DISAGREE... coz, the message that we ultimately want to shout out, is not to have sex... if we, as a role model(doctors, medical students, pharmacist, some-aware-citizen) dont practice this, who else will.. put yourself in someone else's parent.. do you want your son/daughter not to have sex before marriage, or you want your kids to go ahead and have fun, try it, experience the pleasure whatever, but as long as it is safe... i totally wont my sis to have sex with someone, i'll totally blow that guy's head off.. try me..

lemme share a story.. cut it short, both of them got together... and my friend told me that, he wont go far.. as in, to sex and so on.. but when you get together, and you started a lil intimacy, it leads on... you are tempted into it.. and then, you;ll be hungry for it.. and one day, the gf's period did not arrive.. and both of them went haywire.. went for a few consultations.. checking whether she is pregnant... well, they used condom.. safe... luckily, the doc said she is not.. imagine the things they have to go thru if she really is pregnant...

so folks, i guess, i've typed enough... just wanna express my concern regarding this issue of giving out condom free... DO WHATS RIGHT.. NOT WHATS SAFE... BE SENSIBLE, NOT PRACTICAL...

take care guys!

Very fulfilling holidays!

hey ppl... its been whenever since i last dropped a blog..

HOLIDAYS are OVER!! exam mania is ticking and there are only 9 weeks left.. gosh.. time really flies.. so fast sem 3 is ending.. another year of imu(if i pass sem 3) and i'll be off to wherever God has planned for me... hopefully its somewhere without hurricane, without war, without flood (adelaide got flooded today.. sigh now i am wondering whether adelaide is my choice), without er whatever that is not pleasant..

but anyway, despite the back-to-reality-mood, last week was an awesome week for me.. went to bangkok as soon as hols started, back on wed, and thurs went for church camp and came back last sun... wow.. practically occupied the entire season.. but it was really fitted nicely by God.. initially, i couldnt attend camp coz parents already booked for a trip to shanghai... wanted to go so much, but cant turn my parents down, as this hols was kinda important for all of us, to spend some time together... but then the dumb agent forgot to book our tickets.. so i saw doors opened for me to go for church camp, and got myself a place... after that, somehow sis agreed to go to bangkok and dad managed to arrange the trip in such a way that i will be back the day before camp.. wow.. great isnt it...

so, in bangkok what did i do.. i visit many many temples... (3 actually).. and this lady told us that this buddha statue is made out of pure gold. and it weighs 5.5tonnes.. i was like.. wow.. no one ever stolen it ker? its like.. GOLD... heheheh.. then the tour guide mentioned that guys in thailand have to be a monk once they reach certain age... or else their parents will be put into jail.. scary shit man.. i was like, thank God.. no way i am gonna get myself bald man.. seriously out of the question.. lol.. unless i look really good without hair, then i might consider.... then i visited the floating market, the snake farm(snakes there are really scary... not to mention they are left openly.. at one moment, i jumped up as the snake was headin towards the audiences.... i touched the cobra and it feels weird.. yucks.. i hate snakes...) and went alot of bazaars to shop.. good shopping. super duper cheap.. i told nana ch and sc that i bought a tie for 2bucks.. lol.. then i makan like super lots of food.. went for cruise dinner... sharkfin birdnest tomyam seafood steamboat.. and all also super cheap.. trust me.. not lying... met this holland family during the trip.. traffic in bangkok was horrendous.. and yah.. cun chicks(hopefully they are real ones, although i saw the scary half-shim-whatever-you-call-them around)..

but the ultimate best thing that happened during hols was church camp.. june you so miss it... it was in PD and we stayed in townhouses.. and the theme was "the contender".. we were all divided into groups of 10(each with students, working adults and family) and my group got to stay in the penthouse.. its interesting to get to know my own spiritual family, and managed to share alot of stuff, experience with one another... we had a pastor all the way from hawaii and every day, he left a message which really nail it hard into you.. overall, the camp was very anointing... and many times i had personal encounter with God.. and God spoke to me about my experience.. He finally gimme a clear cut answer of my BGR experience.. that is, the reason why it didnt work out bcoz i am stil lack of commitment.. and God wants me to resolve to one.. and many many more stuff.. like God reaffirming my path with Him, continue to trust in Him despite whatever happens..

Psalm 32:10Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.

and durin this 9weeks, for my revision for my finals, i'm not gonna do it with my own strength, instead i;m gonna rely it all to God, trusting Him to bring things right, according to His will.. and i took alot of pics of my shadows.. its kinda cool.. i think we should try it when we all gather together... we went to the road, and took pics below the lamp post.. ;-) its funny..

but saddest thing that i missed during this hols... FOOD.. deepavali muruku and my rendang.. gosh.. bugging nana today to have open hse so i can go over for rendang and lemang.. yummy ummy.. my fav.. its kinda weird, i nvr crave for cny food, maybe bcoz i am sick of it.. but cant be, coz its also once a year.. but deepavali and raya food is yummmy yummy...

well grace, quick come back, and we can hang out together.. go makan... and talk talk talk.. lots to catch up.. and ya, tim tams.. hehee.. june hows your back? is it better now? and i heard notts games is this weekend... have fun guys.. my friends will be there too.. nigel and jiawen.. wonder if you guys will get to know each other.. lol...

anyway, i guess i better go to bed now.. eyes barely open.. oh yah, dunno what happen to ch today, super duper lame... painful for both nana and i.. we gotta tolerate it.. and as usual, auntie ponteng.. lol... going for planet shakers concert tmrw.. the main band came down to kl... well, take care ppl.. and God bless!

p/s:- grace, all the best in your exams, and have a safe journey back.. :-)

Meet my other friend

Oh yeah, did I mention that I met up with Han Wern?

He's not quite the sex symbol my other friend is but then again, who is?

It took him an hour of bus and MRT rides to get to where I was. It was worth the effort though.

Had a great time catching up and swapping stories on our stressful lives.

Meet my sexy new friend

She's a beauty, she is.

Her pink top betrays her svelte, smooth frame.

Ah, I could wax lyrical about her forever.

Omg, I hope the picture loads. If it doesn't, I'm talking about an OBJECT ya :P

Singapore rocks!
