Ok time for an update. Well, on sunday had an outing to Pulau Ubin with the securities. Transformers II. Well, the patriot coy was called Ironhide. So anyway we met at Changi and set off. It was some hardcore leg straining, butt hurting and sun burning journey. Cycling along those rocky paths and stuff and carrying 12 cans of 100plus with my bag with some other stuff, cycling uphill was insane. Whoa I hate those slopes where you go up after much effort, and then you thought there was a downslope which you can just enjoy, it turns out to be another upslope. Then we would just get down and push the bike up. Then cooked our lunch at the beach and using up lots of solid fuels. Then had some beach games and set off for another round of cycling. Ran down the boardwalk and up the viewing tower. It was a very nice view, just that the other teams running up shook the whole tower. Heh so after that we went to return the bikes and just nice, it rained. So thank God for holding the rain back. Haha then went back to Singapore and had some cheers, prize presentations and group pics. Yep.

Well anyway having my e-learning now which is pretty ya know. Yeah so mugging for my CTs next wk. Oh, and fyi, my name is Timothy. Not TimoNthy. Yea? Timo-thy. No n at all. Yep

Here's an update! Haha well, it's been a pretty long time since I've entered poly, and its really stressful. So you guys out there who think poly is slack, think again. Really. Think again. Anyway, I think I'm coping well in biomed eng, thanks to cat high's hardcore pumping. Haha but its just that now it all depends on you. Tried joining student union today, so I hope I can get in. Heh...

I realised many people out there are struggling to get through life. I mean, to find a purpose in living, a purpose in this 'suffering' that they are going through, be it studies, relationship problems and stuff like that. Well, all I can say is that its temporary. It is here for a reason- to mould and shape your character. Because our life here is temporary, and its a 'training ground' for us to mould our character, becoming strong in God and stuff.

Because only through these times we truely depend and trust God totally. Its like you hanging from a cliff on a twig. What do you do? Call out to God. Its the same thing. You don't pray for help when everything is all smooth-going. Its part of God's pruning. Its pain. But what are the fruits? More than you can ever dream or imagine. What Pastor Tan said really touched my heart. After every winter comes a spring. After every death comes resurrection. When we fail at something, we don't shun it. We go back to it, overcome it and move on. When God leads us to a little journey, He will surely empower you to finish it. But, it will be tough, it will be hard. Why? To train us up. Why would God put you in a journey He knows you can accomplish easily as a test? We don't stay stagnant. We keep growing. We move from glory to glory. That, is the purpose. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
