hi my dear avid reader i know u've been coming here a lot of times disappointed that there's no post haha now you are rewarded for your persistence! today the p6s were welcomed to JYM and i'm actually like about twice their age... -2,3 years.. that is insane. i've lived twice as long as them. when i was like about to graduate from SPK and go to JYM, they were just born. and now they're gonna join JYM haha. anyway i thought the welcome thing was awfully well done. probably the best welcome party in the world ( Carlsberg) . really props to those who put in so much effort, especially the video. i love it love it. anyway, i'm now bald or botak. people on the streets have been asking me for my signatures but i've to keep telling them i'm not wentworth miller and that i'm david lim. that's when they really go crazy and ask me to autograph more stuff. sigh being a star is not as glamorous as it is made out to be in the media. oh well, you win some you lose some. HAHAHa siao.
anyway i think i'm finally returning to my sporting ways, gonna try to join nus canoeing as much as i can, and hopefully i will cos i've commitment issues, and i've sent my bike for servicing so i'll probably be training my cycling soon so that i can do a triathlon someday soon sometime this year.
and... shaving my hair is quite a impulsive thing to do right.. i mean like it's a leap u have to take. right until today afternoon i was still deliberating whether i should shave it all off. you know i walked to the barber at holland shopping center and when i reached there i actually turned back, and walk all the way back to the escalator, and then walk back to the barber again. when i was walking to the escalator i was thinking to myself why am i walking away from the barber shop. i finally stopped thinking when i reached the escalator and walked back to queue and wait, and then shave it all off. it's kinda cool u know. i've now shaved my hair 5 times in my life.
1. sec1, all the long distance track and field boys in chinese high who were competing shaved their hair off. i wasn't competing but i didn't know why i shaved also.
2. sec 2, all the cross country boys shaved and we WON CHAMPIONS. i remember this shaving fondly cos my friend did it for me outside the gym in chinese high.
3. i think sec 3 or 4, me and caleb decided together to just shave our head for fun. i think we regretted it immediately after we became botak.
4. BMT
5. today. as you can see the last time my hair was this length, i was in the army feeling sad and lonely.
what a different situation i am in right now, but then, i guess it bring back lots of memories, marching around in camp going outfield etc...
maybe shaving off your hair is a therapeutic thing, helps you refocus your life, give you more impetus to do the things you want, help you start afresh, a new slate, a new beginning, a new determination. and then i really like doing things that are against the norm of society. i realise people only shave their heads here when they are going to army. or if they became neo-nazi. hahah very few people would actually like just suddenly shave off all their hair. it seems the schools here have made everybody have the same type of hair, not too long at the back, the fringe don't touch eyebrows, at the side dun touch ear. top maybe can spike a bit, if not use wax and pull the fringe down etc..... haha i guess i really love being different from what people normally like to have.. ok whatever.
and maybe this is an appropriate time to make a shaved head resolution.
my resolution is to increase in love for God, increase in love for the people around me. to cultivate spiritual disciplines and to devote time to God instead of playing games. to read more books. to study harder and do better in my studies. to be disciplined in doing the sports i wanna do whether canoeing or triathlon. to love my family and to love the people around me. and not be distracted by stuff such as games or girls. hahahaa.
so this will be my resolution until my hair grows back. and then all hell will break loose again whooooooooo hooooooo.

haha kidding. okk i go do my DG homework bye

The nature of discipleship is such that it allows no divided loyalties. If one chooses to follow Jesus, the commitment and service entailed are absolute. It is impossible to be a partially committed or part-time disciple; it is impossible to serve two masters, whether one of them be wealth or anything else, when the other master is meant to be God. - uncle boon cheang

wholehearted and absolute commitment and devotion to God seems so hard, Lord we need your grace and mercy, help us serve only you and you alone..
