Hey all, merry christmas!!! Anyway as the new year approaches I just want to make a few ... thankthank things to what I consider as the dear people that have become/remained my closest friends throughout this year. And well my apologies if maybe I don't feel that close to you??? So yup but for these people, in no order of importance:

Conrad - What a year of change. Seriously, from skinny ol Cus to buff men'shealthy Cous,Conrad, and whatever else. And romance eh??? Haha, well I'm really glad that despite all the frustrating things that have happened our friendship stuck together, and well I think that conflict only makes relationships better. So I thank you for a really good year of love and fun, and for still putting up with all the crap that I do. Hopefully in the coming year I can get to know your other friends better as well so that we can all be cool with each other and stuff. Yea, so work hard and just do your best in everything!

Following 2 people are part of a very special bond for christ.

Thong - Well T.H.Ong, no buffmen'shealthy for you :D but once again we all piss each other off alot but still through church, retreats, holidays we stick together and it's not gonna end for a long time more. As all of us turned 15 and yeah finally get to really laugh at girls and their ... erm biologically shorter bodies, we all also got a bit of girlknocking eh?? And well what I've learnt about you this year is you're really just unique and there's no predicting the extent of effort you can put in. Some days you can be like really dao-seeming and yeah we piss each other off but at other times everything just clicks and well what I see is the kind of friendship I think alot of other people can only dream of. God is really working in our lives, and your character is slowly being put to much good use in his ministry. So, hope that it'll continue and yup all the best for the coming year.

Jong - So what can I do ..... What can I say.... How I developed the friendship with you was you first helping me to feel welcomed. Then yeah we got torn apart by them darn FEMALES! But well proving that Males are smarter than that, and "men" even smarter than the simply born males, we out witted them woohoo! No breaking friendship for you WOMEN! :p Well yeah I guess we still don't know very much about each other's lives outside of Sunday and Church, but from "dao" to bunkmates what more can I say?

From Ushers to Much More:
MN...N. ehHH NICOLE WHY CAN'T YOUR NAME START WITH M!!! Then can be M'N'M.

Mil - Busy busy busy busy busy. ALWAYS BUSY!!!! Well my dear groupmate I didn't really know you till ushering retreat, and I think we all had something pretty good coming out of it and yup very sadly we all kinda ... covalentbondgotbroken thing thing. Then ALPHA comes along and yea I think that pretty much helped to re-establish our friendship? So yeah though you reallly ARE rather strange at times, how you can be really friendly and at other times kinda unfriendly, you've just shown that you're very very much like thong. cough. cough. So hope that we won't drift drift anymore and just ... become good good friends. yay!

Nicole - niiiiiiicoooole.... miccchaeeell... niiiiiicoooole. EEYORE!! Err in terms of relationship. mutual. platonic. thingthing well whatever the year gave us a gabillion memories. and everytime we become not so close we somehow become closer. Well if you'd frikin move out of outerspace we'd be even closererer. Right but yeah my dear skinny tomato round china friend, you may be from some strange school that honestly no one in Wesley will ever know about (har.har.), err aiya I don't know lah you not interesting one. Hmph. ok ok thanks for being a really close friend and hopefully THE US OF USHERS .... hahahahah then who's the HERS of USHERS. lol yeah anyway hopefully we can all one day be real close again and not all be so separate. And SO WHAT IF THONG IS THONG HE'S STILL VERY VERY ELIGIBLE.

Natalie - Wei Wen. WEI WEN!!! rar ok what you said in ze crismos carde really really made me really really happy. And yup I guess the first half of our friendship wasn't very good ... but well as usual God does things like sending strange people to Korea and when they come back suddenly poof we're good friends again. Then God goes hey ya know what why don't you. OK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA WRITE A CHRISTMAS CARD!!! muahaha sorry world no stuff for you.

And yeah little little shoutouts to Clarissa and Stephanie for their good progress award in "walk with god'. Because from NO NO NO NO GROUP!!! one of you is now "bring friend" and the other is "here michael try my jacket". Err I mean CALLING ME UP FOR CANDLELIGHT?? And going for christmas service and WHAT HOUSE FOR FELLOWSHIP??? Well I really hope that you two can continue to find comfort in ol FOB and yup don't change!!! Your personality OR your phone number. Hmph.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of Love, Michael. ALEXANDER CHEE LA FINE! - mac

Wow-o-wow-o-wow how time flies. It practically has wings la. Hmm today we played for P'N'P ... It was cool, much better than yesterday when I played with plugs, everything was so muffled.

Anyway Pastorrr - o - balls - of fire (what he had for dinner last night), spoke on "the measuring tape". Yea so we should never ever limit God with our measly human means, and if God picks you, like in those ... grappling machine thingys in arcades, you're chosen, face it Buzz Lightyear, he's gonna give you whatever it takes to do his job.

IVERSON's GONNA BE TRADED!!! But ... but but.

I'll Stand with Arms High and Heart Abandoned
In Awe of the One who gave it all
I'll Stand My Soul Lord to you Surrender
All I am is Yours

I came back from church camp today. And firstly I'm going to say how great God is. I'm not going to compare this year's camp with previous years. Because God has a purpose in everything, and even if we think that we're not experiencing him, it's a matter of faith, or so I believe. Any time you come out of the time that God first touches your life, you're going to see things differently. Because you're not going to cry out to God the same way, because he has already fixed so many of the problems and issues in our lives, we're not as broken as we were before. I was thinking to myself going into camp, that at the most I'm just going to re-commit my life to God, as I have done so many times. But God spoke to me and he said that I wasn't giving him my all. I was still being held back, not surrendering all. The more camps we go for, the more spiritual highs we get, the harder the devil is going to make it for us to get the next.

I'm not going to talk about the events and stuff because those are all unimportant. But yes credit to the X-trainers for good sessions of fun. And I have strengthened friendships with people, and I hope that we can continue to become closer, because we're all in each others lives for a reason.
