What is my manifesto?:D
Hahas roy is back here again!!:D This week seems to pass qucker and faster than de previous week, mayb it is getting used to de life in camp already!!:D But this week is indeed very bless, cos i get to catch up wif my besties and learn alot of things on a sat evening!!:D
Just 1 hour before i started blogging, got to meet up with mavis and xh at jp!!Stil rem how we always liketo meet up in town over a meal and yet we r v contented wif jux mitin up at jp!!Had kfc though, n being in camp makes ppl reali miss the fastfood oso!!:D First of all, gotta congrats to mav for being admitted to mass comm, which is the course of her dream!!Even though she nv reali express out her happiness, but inoe deep inside she feel reali happy and contented yea?Hahas and of cos to xh, being admitted to mass comm oso and doing well in her law interview, sure hope tat she can get into NUS Law, jiayou xh!!:D And i oso feel contented for being admitted into NUS biz orde, when i receive the lettwer, certainly feel a sign of relief!!:D Though we mit up for a short 2 hrs onli, but being able to see them and tok to them makes me feel tat i shld treasure my time wif fam and frens even more!!:D
Yest was really an impacting day for me, soon after coming home, took a cab to attend baptism klass!!And what most impractedme was the svc by Rev Robb Thompson, toking abt wad is my manifesto in life aka what is my public declaration of my standards and principles:D
Which decision is more painful?Momentarily saying 'No' to yurself or a life of heaven saying 'No' to you?
Sometimes, when we make decisions, it is really not easy saying no to yourself cos we hav to face temptations all the time and often, we make decisions for our own comfort and desires rather than making wise decisions for our future. 8 very impt points that we can learn about:
1. No matter how difficult life may seem, we must never let our cirumstances dictate our decisions.
We must hold fast to our principles and belifs and at the same time, never allow comfortable decisions to affect my futute.
2. We will either raise our standards to meet our expectations or lower our standards to match our perf.
When we raise our standrads, only then can we enjoy the blessings and the fruit of our effort better.
3. Only the irresonsible are willing to sacrifice the future in order to enjoy the present.
4. The potrait of my life is painted with the brush of my character.
Therefore things we can ask ourselves are: What is my chraacter?Can i be trusted?Am i a man of word and integrity?What is my standings in life? Cos ulitmately, what we stand for will determine what kind of future we r gonna hav
5.We can never know a person by what they say. We really meet and know them the moment i am williong to believe what they do.
6. The productivity of any relationship is dependent upon the standrards it celebrates.
Requitement for relaionship:
(a) must be committed to life long relationships
(b) must be moving towards a productive future
(c)must be generous
(d) must qualify to receive my seed. The future of my seed depends on the quality of the seed
(e) must celevbrate character before celebrating friendship.
(f) must be willing to confront my enemies.
7. There is nothing more dangerous than the moment i become a hostage to yest comfort zone.
8. Whatever i refuse to confront today will be next to impossible to conquer tomorrow.
My enemies are the smallest the first time i meet them. If i choose to ignore it, it will grow even bigger and more difficult to handle it.
What wonderful lessons i learn yest; sometimes in a situation there is always 2 sides, and most of the time we face a dilemna of making a more comfortable decision. Yet we failed to realise that when we make the more comfotable one instead of the wise 1, it will affect and jeopardise our future in the end. But i thank God for giving me the opportunity to leran such an impt lesson that next time when i make a decision, always tink of its conseuqneces and ultimately the kind of future that it will lead to:D:D:D

Equinox: Breaking two Carlsberg world record:D
Hahas once upon a time in a farway msn chat between adeline and royston, ade suggested eating smth POSH with jme since she is feeling R-I-C-H!!:D Wahahas so she began searching for all the possible restaurants in different hotels and immeditaely we tot of equinox ( inspired by debbie), a 69th storey restuarant at swissotel!!Hahas but well, the price somehow pull us out of the tot and we finally come to a conclusion, mit at clarke quay then decide!!:D
Hahas so the next day, she suddenly gave roy a call saying that actually equinox prices are quite affordable and so spontaenously, reservations were made!!:D
Wahahas i tell you, equinox is de place where we really break 2 carlsberg record, firstly the highest place that we ever dine in!! Ade record was 66th at UOB, mine is 30th at ah ma hse, Jme was 33th at Bro D hse!!:D As for the second, shall reveal it later!!:D
Anyway, this entry is really dedictaed to my two best friends and i noe and i noe u 2 will be reading this!!:D
The scenary was really spectualar, after being led to our tables, we started tooking some pictures!!:D
Hahas that is de inside of the restaruant!!
And the famous twin durians!!:D
Hahas and right after ordering our dishes, we were served with bread!!:D Ok guys, this are different from those like cafe cartel and pasta; besides having free flow, the bread are hot, crisp and of different kind!! Me and ade love the honey sugar bread while jme prefers the normal bread wif butter!!:D
Hahas after that, we were told to wait for around 30 mins for our dishes and what to do?We jux spend the time chatting and catching up with each other n taking more photos!!:D
Me wif jme:D......
Jme wif ade:D......
And me wif ade!!:D:D:D
Hahas okeis here comes the highlight of de whole night, the food of cos!!:D The main course had a reasonable serving but certainly, the food was fresh and of the highest quality!!:D Money spent on it was definitely worth it, and now, let me post some fotos to make u all liu kou shui!!;):p
Ade's order: Asian Inspired Chickeh Pot Ah Fau!!:D The gravy was oh mans....
Hahas and that is jme's 1: White Mos Cod(Am i corect?) Hahas acc to her, the fish tasted like scallop but definitely fresh!!:D
Hahas and that is mine: Lobster with scallop!!:D Though the serving looks bit small, but well u can jux guess how nice the food is le!!:D
This desert dish is called sweet temptation, which we feel is de most worthit, cos it has 4 different kinds of desserts and each has its own unique taste!!:D
And of cos cheers to a fruitful and everlasting strong frenship!!:D
Hahas and there, we jux ate and sat there chatting to each other for 3 hours and it's always been grt to tok to ur best frens to share wif them deeper things and understand each other beta too!!:D:D
Leaving Equinox will be a waste if we don take more fotos so here we goes!!:D
Okies here comes de 2nd carlsberg record!!:D Hahas and that is, we went to the highest toilet that we have went ever before!!:D Its 68th storey high and the whole floor is jux dedicated to toilets!!:D Hahas upon reaching de floor, we were greeted by cabinets of wines that were exquisite and of cos expensive!!:D The toilets were also designed in such a wae that looks like a resort and definitely a place to record it down in memories!!:D:D
Hahas and that marks a beautiful and memorable night i had before my NS!!:D Thanks so much adeline and jamie, u 2 really impacted and bring lots of joy to my christian walk wif God and i noe u 2 will always be there when i have problems!!:D Thanks so much!!:D:D:D:D:D:D
