Greetings

Allo everybody! I am sorry for not updating my blog for quite some time (I am busy studying). There are a lot of things happening now. I believe it will take me quite some time to share with you. I’ll just make a summary here in my blog.

School has just ended. There are a lot of things that happened in school. For example, there are a lot of bombs that will explode everyday. I just don’t know why, after each explosion I’ll feel very angry, sad and bad unlike the other buglers are.


The school magazine was out. Unfortunately I did not receive a copy as I did not buy. I was hoping to receive one complimentary copy as my dad advertised in the magazine but things went out of my expectation. The magazine was fine except there is some minor errors. It was okay to me because I know that human beings make mistake so it is okay to have produced a bad magazine this and produced a good and better one next year. I hope I’ll be in the magazine committee next year. =)


PMR’s trial has just ended weeks ago and my marks are quite low. My results are really BAD (A B B B C C D) but I am not complaining and I am not even proud of it because I know that I did not put much effort to it. I just felt that I would like to express my feeling in my blog. I know that there is still a long way to go BUT PMR is just two days to go. I really hope that I can do something about it. PMR is on Monday till Friday and today is Saturday. somebody please help me.

Yesterday was the prize-giving ceremony for all the form three students. It felt ashamed as I did not receive anything. I felt very sad as I thought there is no point for me going to school yesterday but I was wrong because there was an ISCF (Inter-School Christian Fellowship) Meeting yesterday and I know that God wants me to attend that meeting as I did learnt a lot from yesterday. I really thank God and I am gratified that I did not follow my friend to watch the GRSB’ recruitment drive (Green Road School Band) because I knew that it is a waste of time and it will not benefit in my PMR so I decided to practice my flute in the school stadium. (I am would like to apologize if I have created trouble practicing in the stadium)


Today, I’ve received something for the MPYO (Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra). I’ve received the orchestral excerpts consisting of three flute pieces but I did not receive the audition date, time and venue. I have tried to call up MPYO unfortunately I called up at the wrong time. Their working hours are only f
rom Monday to Friday and today is? Saturday. Sad to say right? I really have to thank God for that. I did not expect much from MPYO as I did not meet the requirements (ABRSM Grade 6 and I am only in Trinity Grade 4) and they still send me the orchestral excerpts. I will try to call them on Monday but I will not hope to much as I am not qualified and on Monday I will have to sit for my PMR.



To all my friends out there, those who sat for PMR before, is there any words of encouragement or any tips for me to pass my PMR with flying colours? I don’t want to FAIL. FAIL means that I will have to stop everything especially band and any other musical activities. FAIL to me and my parent is by not getting STRAIGHT As or to drop to 4B. I want and need to stay in 4A. I shall pray hard and work extremely hard after this as my results are not pleasing at all.

I believe that’s all for now because I really need to study and revise for my PMR. To all my friends and for those who are reading my blog at the moment, do pray for me and all the PMR candidates so that we may excel in this examination. Thank you. Don’t give up till you have given your VERY BEST. GOD BLESS! ORA Et. Labora!!

p.s. don’t be like me. I am so lazy. =(

PATIENCE

A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
Proverbs 19:11

Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
Proverbs 25:15

The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.
Ecclesiastes 7:8

2 Corinthians 6:3-13

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22,23

Colossians 1:3-14

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

GOD BLESS!! ORA Et. Labora!!

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

Friends / Friendship

it has been a very long time since i have last wrote something due to my laziness and my busy life.. now, i have come out with something which is very important in our lives..

what is it?? it is our friends..

we all realize that we can't stand alone when the dark clouds roll in, we all need someone beside us.. the first thing we need is God for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not parish but have eternal life. John 3:16

we realize that we need help-we need others.. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 explains that two are better than one, and three may be even better than that. There is strength that we gain and give to one another. Tasks are easier and our attitudes are more positive. We are grateful for someone who guards our back.

to be a friend, do not suck up, provoke or back stab Ur friends.. we have to be open-minded and positive in every relationships that we are in.. we must have faith, hope and love for our friends.. let me share something here, b4 this i don't trust my friend, I've asked him something and he said he don't have it.. when he is around I've acted like I'm trusting him but when he is not around, i searched for the thing and it is true that he don't have it.. i feel so disappointed of myself during that time.. from that day onwards, i keep reminding myself to trust my friends.. so you too should have done that if you have not..

A friend is a treasure. If we want friends, we must be friendly. Humans are social creatures—that is how God made us. Joy and fulfillment are found in the company of others. Giving, sharing and helping have rewards that go beyond dollars. If you have a friend, treasure him or her; if you are a friend, be a good one.

I'm writing this because i know that it is not too late to change and God wants us to change.. so be a friend to others..

dear Lord, thank you for all you've done for us here.. we thank for our friends.. forgive us for our sin and our mistakes b4 this o God.. help us to change and live a better life.. change us and use us o God.. we surrender everything into your hands, in Jesus name i pray, Amen.
