Hola!I am back to the on9 world!It's been 3 days since I last on9 and my computer had finally came back from the factory this afternoon.I certainly do miss it!Right,so what has been happening?I scratched my car,again!Been wasting my time as usual and going through certain stuffs.
Well,news came by about Mr Nada's death this morning and it pretty much shocked the school.However,some people can actually still joke about it.I don't know if I am guilty of doing it too but I guessed he deserved our last respect.It just took another hit at me that life is very fragile.Every second you have here on earth ought not be wasted.You never really know what will happen the next moment you turned around.I have been learning a lot of things the hard way and I am really not making much progress here.Time to take one thing at a time.8 more months,how much can I make out of it?
TZH is officially sick free,though still with a little bit of cough.

Figure Out..
I've figured out I am actually pretty good with words.I've figured out I have been blessed with the ability to speak and communicate better than others.I've figured out I am pretty good at analysing situations or problems.I've figured out I can actually do something if I put my heart to it,achieving what others may deemed impossible.
I've also figured out I am a rash guy,doing and saying things without thinking.I've also figured out I always do or say certain things from my point of view,what I felt is correct and not spare a thoughts about others.I've also figured out the way I talked hurts others and sometimes,if not most boastful.I've also figured out I am fast to speak and slow to listen.
I've figured all that out.So,what's next?
It's time to make the best use and minimise or cut off the bad habits of my "gifts"...

Frustration..
I know it's rather funny trying to vent my frustration here,in my blog.It's sort of like trying to gain attention but I aint.It's just I want to get certain things off and I have no better ways to channel it.Certain things are really just driving me nuts.It's tiring pretending everything is all right,putting up a brave front that I am always a cheerful guy.Argh!!!!!!I just feel like shouting out right now!Studies,family,faith and so much more.All these problems seem to continue to add on,like a snowball,growing bigger and bigger.Lord,I need Your strength to pull through,You wisdom to solve problems.If you happen to see a quieter version of me,don't be shocked.It's just me trying to give myself some space.PLUS I am still sick..
Footprints...
I think most,if not all of us have been to the seaside or a beach,right?Nothing beats a slow walk by the sea,with the cool sea breeze blowing right at you.It's just so relaxing.Well,have you ever notice the footprints you left behind on the sand while you were walking?
Someonce once said that every steps we take in life will leave footprints in the lifes of others.In other words,every action we take will certainly have its impact on one party or another.This obeys Newton's 3rd law of motion which states EVERY ACTION HAS A REACTION.Haha!This leads me to think that friends are like people who walk on the sand,leaving footprints on it.Who's the sand?We all are.Everyday of our lifes is like a diary being filled up,with different people leaving behind different footprints in our life.All the more we should treasure each and everyone of them,right?
Friendship is a special kind of relationship,built on a simple word called TRUST.Though the word may be simple,it's hard to really put it into practice.It's human nature to be protective over oneself and be wary of people around us,thus leading to us not putting total trust in people.Should this really be the way?Jesus have stated that we should Love Others Like Ourselves.Do you doubt yourself?I don't think so.I believe every single person that comes into our lives are not by chance.Sometimes we tend to outcast certain people in our lives,for any reason that is.I guess that's not something very nice to do but we are all guilty of it,right?Perhaps we should try to take off the 'spectacles' we have and try to mix around?Argh!Easy to say but hard to do..
Back to footprints.Sometimes we are walking at such a fast pace that we tend to forget to look behind,not just at our footprints but people and things we have missed out on.We tend to think the faster we reached the destination,or goal,the better it is.But if we force ourselves to walk at such a pace that we overlook other things,that's not something good hey?Or that we force ourselves to walk at other people's pace,we will end up being nowhere and crash badly.So,take your time in this stroll of life.Of course,don't take life as a lazy Sunday drive.Walk at a pace you are comfortable with and leave some really longlasting footprints in the lifes of others.
I don't really know what I am posting this.Just felt like it.It's sorta like a combination of the little stuffs I have written in each and every blogpost of mine.Just a random one..:)

Zhi Howe's Believe It Or Not!
Muet trials ended.Results not out yet but I guess I did okay.It certainly had been a tiring week for me.I had like less than 4 hours of sleep everyday.It was partly due to preparing for test,and partly due to me enjoy using tv and pc.Haha!Well,I failed my chemistry and physics but miraculously did quite okay for maths 1,not maths 2 thus making my maths an average result.The clock is ticking as STPM comes calling.Argh!I got a few comments made about me by teachers.I guess I got to accept those and worked on my weaknesses.
Speaking of unbelievable stuffs,I actually took part in the Kluang District High School Chinese Debate.For some,if not all of you who don't know,I actually hailed from a government primary school.Therefore my education level in chinese is almost 0.But according to some people,I have the ability to debate,or argue and a pretty good(nasty) mouth and so I became part of the team.I was only a back up though,not a first choice speaker.This experience had really taught me alot more about chinese culture,something I definitely lack of being a Chinese myself.I wasnt so "chinese" Chinese ever since young.Well,STK lost but we did our best.I really enjoyed the process though.From getting a team ready by Friday,meeting up and discussing the points last night to preparing the script this morning we were basically preparing under the pressure of not having enough time.But what we showed was way better than what we had expected as it was above average according to the judges.I mean,only 2 days!
Right now I am very sick,with a really sore throat and cough that doesnt seems to stop.Time to look for Zhou Gong.Still cant believe I took part in Chinese debate?Believe it!

STRESS!!!!!!!!
First curriculum test ended today,with MUET trials beginning tomorrow till Friday.Finally,some breathing space.I havent exactly been revising hard but now that the "stress" is gone,things certainly look better.April is coming,signalling the arrival of the only day where you can joke without paying the price(of course no very extreme jokes!).I've finished nearly almost a quarter of year 2008,another three quarter to walk before my form 6 life ended.How much impact can I leave in my friends' life?
I've heard stories of people disliking me ever sinc young.I always thought that's not much of a big deal.Truth is,it's a very big deal!If one person says one thing,maybe it's bias but if whole loads of them?Perhaps it's time to take a deep breath,slow down your steps and reflect about yourself.I guess I need to start doing that soon.Cheng Yee wrote on his blog,a boy is one who has power and a man is one who can control his.I certainly have been or still in the stage of a boy but a man is what I got to be.
Mouth is a very useful tool.I don't deny the fact that I've sort of been blessed with pretty good language skills and communication skills.Whether or not I've put that to good use is still questionable.However,I am rather sure I've hurt many on the way.It's important to sort out your grudge and all with people before it's too late.So here I want to apologise if I've hurt you,both intentional or unintentionally.Anyways,back to lighter stuffs.
Opps!Nothing light to write about!Haha!Well,we are always told to undo to others what you want others to undo to you.Let's take it a step further like what the Bible says,Do unto others what you want others to do to you.In this way,we are not only avoiding trouble but are actually stopping trouble.Sounds good?
Let's all learn to be man and not boy!
p/s:TZH is extremely sleep therefoer any mistake in the passage is unintentional..

Good Friday..
2008 years ago,a baby was born into this world.30 years later,he was crucified on the cross for crimes he did not commit.Sounds unreal?Sounds familiar?Well,this is a true story about Jesus,son of God who died on the cross for our sins.Today is Good Friday,which is a remebrance of what happened in Jerusalem long long time ago.
I felt grateful and blessed for what Jesus has done,because he totally need not do so.I mean,somebody's else's fault and you are willing to take the rap,even if it cost you your life.Will you do that?I don't think I can or I will.This shows the submission Jesus has for his father,our almight God,our father in heaven.I wouldnt be who am I today had it not been for Jesus's action 2000 years ago.No greater is one who will lay down his life for a friend.Jesus laid down his life for everyone of us.Isnt this like the greatest love of it all?
Yosh was speaking about Martha and Mary during YF and I did not really felt much about the topic besides how we should build a relationship.It was while worshipping earlier that it struck me.I have been so indulged in so-called serving in yf and church by doing PA,projection and some other running around stuffs.I left a loophole in my own walk;I did not spend enough time with God.I was just like Martha,preparing and working so hard,thinking that is what God wanted but I missed out on the most important aspect.I am not like Mary,not listening to what God has to say to me.
When things go wrong,I would start asking why.But I forgot the most essential thing,which is to be thankful and have faith.I was not selected for the school basketball team.Agony and pain was what I felt right at the beginning,but I have decided to accept and respect the team's decision and from how they played today,I think I have made a right choice.Growing up is really a painful yet necessary process.Aih~
Anyways,Easter is this Sunday.Bunnies anyone?
