Found It.
Listen to what Ah-Wu said at the start of the clip. What makes him said so? He said, "When one starts to compete, he/she is no longer happy".
Yes. You no longer enjoy what you are doing.
Look at how Xu YaHui (as LiuYu) flaired at the beginning of the game. And why did she lose in the end? What distracted her? It was the consequence of her using underhand methods to get to where she is. Hence, when she sees the man that she sacrificed/betrayed her soul to, she cannot handle her emotions in the game. Why did she do that in the first place? Becoz She wants fame, she wants position, she wants change her destiny from poverty to become rich & recognised for her talent. Hence she is now Venting her frustrations in the game, and that is suicidal, and it has happened=she lost the game.
Does she remind me of somebody? Smirked.
Respect your opponent who respects you when he/she puts in full effort to compete with you.
Respect your examiner who sets the questions for you. So you must sit for the exam, and put in your best efforts. Sloppy work is a disrespect towards the examiner.

:: The Battlefield is in the Mind ::
I'm surprised with this comment on my facebook. Yes, that's right. The battlefield is, in the mind. It was what I thought so. Everytime I go for an exam, I would tell some of my friends around me, "Lets go fighting!" Haha...
On Sunday, I was so damn happy to see Katherine serving with us again! I don't know why. Have you ever thought of this:
If someone comes up to you and say "HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", and you went, "oh..hello..".
This actually means that YOU matter to that someone MORE than he/she matters to you! Understand?
It's pretty obvious, but sometimes we don't even think about it. We take people for granted.
I was so happy to meet Kat, and exchange a few smses after service. Haha.. Kat is someone who makes you laugh! Her crazy idea that singers should wear hair-wick to enhance the "vibrant" atmosphere. Haha.. Because I was mentioning, "maybe we can wear cap on stage". Haha.. Then she was like, "mmm...I don't think we can wear cap leh". Haha..
I had to laugh at the part after we got off stage from 2nd service worship, and gathered at the stairs, not knowing if there will be a debrief for singers. Then Kat was also confused. She wanted to open the door to attend the service, but Alfred Chan closed the door and stood against the door. And she looked at him with that "lost and blur" expression! Hahahhahaha.... I can't help but just to laugh whenever I remember that incident. Hahaha.... So funny.... bcoz her face has full of expressions, it's very obvious. Hahahhaa.....
OKay...better go back to my books. I'm now going thru past year exam papers everywhere. I'm left with memorising and trying more questions if I'm free.

:: Those Lines I remember so well ::
JC: May I have a drink of water?
SW: Sir, you do not look like you belong here. You are a Jew. And Jews do not talk to us Samaritans.
JC: Is it water that you need?
SW: What are you talking about? Of course it is water that I need. What else will I be here by the well?
JC: Whoever who drinks this water will remain thirsty again. Drink the water that I give, and you will never thirst again.
SW: Really? Never thirst again?
JC: nodded
SW: Sir, then can you give me this water that you're talking about? So that I will never thirst again.
JC: Sure. But first, go call your husbands.
SW: Husbands?
JC: That's right. Your husband.
SW: Eh...Ay...I....eh.. I've no husband.
JC: Yes, you're right to say that you've no husband. In fact, you had 5 husband. And the man you now live with is not your husband. Indeed, you've been quite honest.
SW: Hahahhah~ Sir, you must be a PRO-PHET to know all that. Yes, I had 5 husbands. But the man I now live with is the man that I love.
JC: Do you truly love him?
SW: Of..
JC: (cuts in and ask) Is he your answer for your search for love and lifelong happiness?
SW: I..(hesitates) I would like to think so. Isn't having the PERFECT man what we woman can only hope for?
JC: What is perfect to you?
SW: Perfect is! eh.....ay...... I don't know. I thought I could find fulfillment in the husbands I've married. That with each relationship, my life would finally be complete. But they failed me every single time. People call me an adulterous, because I've been married so many times. But what do they know? Is wrong to want love and happiness? Honestly..I give up. I'm tired of searching. I'm just not sure what makes me happy anymore. Perhaps I should be "happy" now. To make my way here every day to fetch water and serve the man I "love". (hesitates)...Live with. But I do know one thing though. I know that the Messiah is coming. Maybe he can tell me where I can find love and happiness. I am sure he'll understand all~ that I've gone through.
JC: I am the Messiah. I understand.
SW: (looks at JC in awe)

A husband's quest
“Happy the husband of a really good wife;
the number of days will be doubled.
A perfect wife is the joy of her husband,
he will live out the years of his life in peace.
A good wife is the best of portions, reserved for those who fear the Lord;
rich or poor, they will be glad of heart, cheerful of face whatever the season.
The grace of a wife will charm her husband,
her accomplishments will make him the stronger.
A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,
no price can be put on a well-trained character.
A modest wife is a boon twice over,
a chaste character cannot be weighed on scales.
Like the sun rising over the mountains of the Lord
is the beauty of a good wife in a well-kept house.”
- Ecclesiasticus 26 : 1-4,13-16
I saw this on Melody Chen's blog, and this is what her husband chose to recite during their wedding aniversary. This is what a guy could possibly look for in a woman to be his life partner.
-one who fears the Lord
-one who has grace for husbands misdeeds
-one who isn't naggy (silent wife)
-one who has chastity kept well
-one who modest
-one who keeps the house well
Haha...!!!

:: CM Family Day ::
I was pretty scared last night and this morning before the family day event commences. Everyone started asking me if I was ready. Ahh..
Then Esther leaked out my secret when she introduced me on stage. I know she spoke the truth...but I don't really want Katherine nor Alfred to learn about it; that I have a great passion for dance and would always think about dance moves almost anywhere. My classmates can vouch for that too.
I could see Katherine surprised look when Esther finally mentioned my name. And she turned around to look at me. Super paiseh...that's why I forgot my cue to go on stage. After seeing the video of the people doing the dance..cool!! They look good, although steps aren't perfect, but could see that they're happy. =) That's fulfillment!
However, in the midst of teaching...suddenly got ppl shout out from the floor one. And that's Linda. It was a good advise to get the pple to follow my mirror image, though I had to tell them to change hand and direction. Anyway..don't have to be so synchronized. I realised also that Alfred was very fast in learning the steps, and was quite good, and the steps he remembered them so well. And you could see his face, he was so seriously paying attention and learning. Haha!! And though sometimes he overexaggerate the moves, and make me laugh out of no where when I'm teaching.
Katherine has alot of expression on her face. Haha...I enjoy seeing her dance. What made me overjoyed was to see the little girl and boys doing the moves. That little girl named Vanessa, who is a ballet dancer, did the moves really well!! Clap clap!!

:: I'm Out of My Mind ::
I'm out of my mind!!!
You must be wondering what is it?
I say I'm out of my mind!!!
It was Missions service today. On my way to church, I sorta have an estimate figure in my mind. Then I was sad that that's all I can give. But then....something sorta make me wanna do something crazy. Yes, CRAZY. I'm graduating soon, hence I should hopefully get a job asap. Hence my financial constraints should come to an end.
But I still don't know how much... The figures run into my mind, and I accept some and reject some. Till it time for me to alight the bus and walk to church.
During the service, I was happy to interprete the sermon that speaks to me in my current situation. Use what you have in your hands!! God has already placed the seed in your hands.
This was what I wrote:
God has already given me wisdom for my studies. Use it to excel in the exams with good grades.
God has already given me favor and wisdom to obtain a good job. Use it to get that job!
Towards the end, when it was time to fill in the cards, the figure you wanna pledge. I was super excited. But I still got no amount leh....crazy... In the end I wrote this:
"I'll be graduating this May, and I trust that God will provide me a full-time job to fulfill this faith promise. Hereby, I pledge to give 50% of my 1st income by July 2009. Amen!"
And then I submitted it to the celebration host. Then I thought I would have caused the ppl counting the cards, a headache when they see my card. So sorry. I don't have any figure, but I knew it has to do with my 1st job.
Then Ps.Dom read out all the values, and then he went to those cards without values. My card was the last to be read, and I almost wanted to head for the toilet as I was on high-tide. Then I heard him said this, "Haha.. I like this. Here it says, I'll be graduating this May, and I trust that God will provide me a full-time job to fulfill this faith promise. Hereby, I pledge 50% of my 1st income by July 2009. Father bless this life with a job, supply her till she have more than enough!".
Then I realised only after service that Agnes (who sat beside me) also wrote something similar, "I'm in a job transition. I pledge to give 50% of my pay cheque when I've found a job"
Wow...I was just telling her that we can go look for job together, since we're going into the same field. So zhun! It was really crazy for me to write that last few words, "by July 2009". Alamak!!
God, You know what I wrote right? Please show me to that job! No one can help me but You!

:: What has happened so far? ::
Arranging venues for studios...whosh...headache. Very hard for me to be sandwich between the complains/ "intense suggestions" of the different ones. Finally thank God, Vick has found a friend's condo in Braddell (near macritche). Which I guess it's now very much more centralised.
Revision has been crazy...planning the timetable is even more crazy. Actually the most important thing is not to plan when to cover that subject, but what you do in each revision. Revision these days have at least been better, more constructive and productive.
I actually wanna thank God, since Monday, which I did thank Him individually by whispering to Him in a lecture. Haha.. I thank God that even in these while when I'm still single, unattached, and worried that I would remain on the shelve...He has always sent people around me to encourage me. He has also provided many "brothers" around me, even when I didn't have any bf currently. These brothers helped me out with areas that man are better at...although they can only remain as my friend/my brother. When I finally finally found Mr.Right, I know I still have my brothers around together with Mr.Right.
God, today I could see clearly what I really want in life. Living in those days of F and M is like a total walking-to-hell scenario. Today, I finally saw what I really enjoyed and would prefer to do all my life.That's to worship you, to meet people, the nations and rejoice with them, to teach them what worship is all about!
I can finally kick off F and M totally with meaning! Not just becoz ppl told me it's wrong.
