20 July 2008, Sunday
Twelve in the afternoon was the time I got out of bed. I cannot believe that I could sleep so much, and this is the latest time I woke up this year. I hope it will not happen again, as I missed half the day and got nothing out of it. Later in the afternoon, I went to church with cousin and Hui Yun, my other cousin. She joined us for the first time in church. I hope the word of God touched her and that she will continue to join me and Tse Yun in church.

Bowling training was cancelled so I went to school for only two hours for my Fluid Mechanics 'B' lecture. I felt that the time travelling down to school is wasted as I take so long to get to school, only to spend two hours there. I really want bowling training to resume soon.
22 July 2008, Tuesday
I did line tracing for my assignment with my assignment group after school. It took us about an hour just to do the line tracing drawing for one level of the pilot plant and there are three levels in total. After doing it halfway, I left for sailing training. I got to know the school team captain and she told me that I was accepted into the school sailing team.
I have to attend training about three times a week since I am in the school team, which is going to be quite time consuming. I hope I can manage my time properly and have a good balance between my CCAs and my studies.

I did not go to school as the rain was so heavy. My Plant Design lesson was only two hours, so I decided to give it a miss as I had no problem with it currently. I tried going to school with an umbrella, but I got my shoes and clothes all soaking wet even before I reached the main entrance of my house. I really hate the rain when I need to go out.
Alexandra used to tell me that the rain is wet. I am sure everyone knows that. Is that right?

For the first time, I experienced a total blackout in the lecture when the power tripped during Thermodynamics lecture. The backup lights came on for less than a minute and it also tripped after awhile, leaving the whole lecture theatre in total darkness. Mr Ting went to open the door to let some light in and gave us a ten minute break while the technicians solved the problem.
After lessons, I had sailing training which lasted till eight plus. I was really tired after training and I think my fitness level is still not good enough yet.

Mass Transfer 'A'’s last lecture was held as Dr Ng was leaving the school for another career. I wish him all the best for his future. He had been a great and really helpful lecturer, helping me pass my Chemical Reaction Engineering when it is a "killer" module in my course. After the lecture, my class stayed back to take photos with him as this would be our last time seeing him.
After school, I went to bowl with Stanley and Xu Liang before going to meet my Poly Fifty Campus Relay team to give them a short briefing. I was made the captain again this year and it is a great responsibility that my team members are well taken care of, and that they are well prepared for the competition which is only two weeks away. We had a trial run as I wanted my team members to be familiar with the running route. After that, I went back to SPGG to bowl with Kai Yuan to prepare for the SP Doubles which is on next Sunday.

Daddy and mummy arrived in Singapore this morning around seven plus. I drove all the way to the airport to fetch them home. My parents said they had a good trip, but they were rather tired due to the twelve hours flight from Turkey. Later in the morning, I drove down to SPGG to collect my bowling ball and my bowling shoes as I wanted to go bowling in the afternoon. The journey there was really long as I came from Parkway Parade which is more than half the island apart from SPGG.
Guess what? In the afternoon I did not go bowling, making the trip kind of a wasted one. Lucky I am not the one paying for the petrol. Instead, I did some grocery shopping with my father before going for cell group in the evening. I borrowed the car again as cell group was held at Mellissa’s house instead of church. I had a great time at cell group. After that, I gave Daryl, Jeremy, and Lin a lift to my house as they wanted to have dinner around my place.
true love is love that is built to last forever

Daddy and mummy will be coming back from Turkey tomorrow morning and I will be going to fetch them from the airport. I pray that God will grant them journey mercy as they make their way home to sunny Singapore.
three cheers for everything that is good

For the first time, I went for sailing training at West Coast Park. It took me about one hour plus to get there and the journey there was so long that I felt like going home halfway. Anyway, I like to sail so I had no choice but to take the time to travel down to West Coast Park. Training was quite fun but the wind there is quite light, so I could not really go fast. I left training early because I had to attend church at five in the evening. I got no sun burns from the training, so my skin was saved from pain.
14 July 2008, Monday
The first day of the bowling selections was an utter disaster for me. I got 151 for my highest game out of six games. My average is so bad that I do not need to mention it. I hope for the better tomorrow. God, please give me strength.
15 July 2008, Tuesday
The day ended in defeat as I am not able to qualify for the school bowling team again. Year after year, I tried so hard only to be disappointed at the end of the day. I injured my thumb and middle finger the day before, so it was very difficult to bowl. Maybe that is just an excuse, but what more can I say? I just have to let my fingers rest first and think of what I want to do next.
16 July 2008, Wednesday
I went to the gym alone to do my workout and my muscles are screaming in pain now. Whatever it is, I am just going to bear with the pain and continue with my training.
17 July 2008, Thursday
I had this role play in Effective Interpersonal Communication class and it was about a conflict. It was quite fun as I seldom do role plays. There is going to be a role play test on this and I cannot wait for it. There is no way to prepare for it, which really gives me the fear of not being able to do well enough to get an ‘A’ for this module.
18 July 2008, Friday
Lessons ended really early because my Bioanalytics tutorial was done during the practical lesson on Monday so I did not need to attend it. I used the three hours break I got by going to the gym to exercise and have my lunch. After that, I attended my boating theory lesson. The lesson ended early as usual and I went to talk to my lecturer as we both had interest in sailing. I really had a good talk with him and learnt quite a few things.
19 July 2008, Saturday
I overslept for the first time. Waking up at nine plus and it is a Saturday. I missed Fu Wei’s car ride to go to East Coast Park to run with Daryl and him, so I went to Bedok Stadium to run with Mou Wei. We ran 2.4 km because our stamina could not last for 4.0 km. I ran on Friday too, so I had every reason to feel tired. After running, we went to Bedok Market to eat before going home. Besides that, I spent the whole day at home sorting out my songs in my mp3.
it is because christianity taught me how to behave

Morning was spent at Sentosa Siloso Beach with my sailing friends. The sun was really scorching and I was lucky enough to get away without any sun burns. The weather was really hot that I was covered in perspiration within minutes after getting off the monorail which brought us there from Vivo City. I love the sight of Sentosa and I am glad the place is transformed into a resort liked place for relaxation and fun. Christopher and I left early because I had to go to church and he wanted to go home to sleep. I headed home with him before going to New Creation Church for service which lasted till seven. After service, daddy and mummy came to pick me up to go for dinner.
07 July 2008, Monday
Bowling training was not very good because we were practising spares. I am very bad at spares because I cannot aim the arrows properly. Better start getting the spares.
08 July 2008, Tuesday
I finally completed my part for my Plant Design project after many sleepless nights. I felt quite relieved, but I know the work is going to pile up again in no time so I cannot afford to procrastinate. I just wish I can bowl all day long and I do not need study.
09 July 2008, Wednesday
Lessons ended at ten, so while waiting for Kai Yuan to end his lessons, I went to the gym to exercise. My muscles ache sometimes when the weights put lots of strain on my body but I could take it. Going to the gym is seems fun to me because it can help me build muscles and also help me in my bowling so that I can lift the ball higher next time.
10 July 2008, Thursday
I had my role play test and everything went on well. The lecturer only pointed out one mistake that I made and I think I can get an 'A' because she said I did well, but she said my group mate did very well. I guess she got a high 'A' and I got a low 'A'. It is still an 'A' and I hope so.
11 July 2008, Friday
I bowled quite badly and only got to play two games because RGS had their training shortly after we bowled. I hope tomorrow will be a better bowling day for me. High average and high game, you can do it Joey.
12 July 2008, Saturday
SMU Doubles Challenge was held at SAFRA Tampines Orchid Bowl. I played really badly and pulled my partner down with my freaking low average of around 120. I cannot believe I bowled so badly too and this is a competition. I know I am not always like this but somehow I just bowled like I just learnt how to bowl yesterday. I am really hoping for the better when I bowl for my selections on Monday and Tuesday. Twelve games in two days is going to be a killer but I know I have to do well to get into the school team.

The youth leaders did not come to church because they were having their retreat, so the church looked a little empty. After service, I went to eat with some of the church people at grispy. There was nothing much to do after lunch as everyone had to go home and study, so I went home and do my assignments. In the evening, I went to the leader’s retreat barbeque as they invited some of my friends and I to attend it. There was a wide spread of food and it was great. Had lots of fun too and Byron send me home after the barbeque. Thanks Byron.
30 June 2008, Monday
I had Bioanalytics practical in the morning and our results were pretty weird, but I think it was acceptable. In the afternoon, I had Fluid Mechanics B lecture before I attended my bowling training. I think I still need lots of practice in order to be consistent in my average.
01 July 2008, Tuesday
After lessons, I had sailing physical training in the evening. I did my 2.4 km run and I came in third among all the sailors. However, I was not too happy with my timing of eleven minutes plus. I hope to improve it the next time I run again. We all went to the gym in school and it was my first time there. I like the place and I think I will go as often as I am free.
02 July 2008, Wednesday
I went to bowl with Kai Yuan as we both ended school early. I got an 'A' for my Fluid Mechanics B practical assessment, but I lost marks on my presentation part as I was not very sure of what I was presenting. Luckily, I managed to score full marks for the question and answer part which helped to pull up the marks.
03 July 2008, Thursday
I had a very long day in school. After lessons, I went to eat dinner with my classmates before heading home for a second round of dinner. I am seriously trying to put on as much weight as I can because I am too light and that is not too good for me.
04 July 2008, Friday
I went to bowl with Kai Yuan to get ready for the upcoming SMU Doubles Challenge and also the school team selections. My bowling was pretty bad. I got to try out my new ball which I am not very used to it at the moment, but I will try my best to adapt to it before the competition.
05 July 2008, Saturday
Woke up early in the morning to meet Daryl at his place as Fu Wei will fetched us to East Coast Park to run from there. I think we had a very good run. We ran about four over kilometers without stopping and I still had energy to go on. We had to stop because Fu Wei could not take it. Our initially plan was to run seven kilometers, but we will make it a point to do it soon when our fitness level is there. I went home for lunch after having a late breakfast with Daryl and Fu Wei. In the evening, I went for cell group in church to learn more about God’s word.
saved me and gave me life abundantly
