Hey I'm Andrew, your average feather-in-his-cap, spring-in-his-step, sneaker-wearing, tongue-twisting, ecstacy-inducing, mind-bending, never-ending, trend-setting, floppy-fringed whatsisname. Lovable at first sight if you see me in the right light. Always willing to give second chances. And a third if you ask nicely enough. Hopelessly romantic and tragically retarded. Such a combination yields unpredictable results. Initially shy, softspoken and quiet. Unabashed, witty and loud after the ice has broken. Proud ympacter, God-seeker, salvation-finder, redemption-searcher. I'm not a WANNABE, I'm a GONNABE. Optimist with a pessimistic edge, like a lollipop coated with glass. Always strive to be perfect, very seldom am. Dreams enough to grow a pair of wings. Realistic enough to tear them up. Swings his moods like a monkey on a rope, but you seldom see the emotions fly. No tears in my eyes don't mean I'm not crying, no red in my eyes don't mean I ain't mad, no smile on my face don't mean I'm not happy, no frown on my brow don't mean I'm not thinking. Music is my drug and art my choice of poison. Performs well under pressure, but won't break under the peer kind. Don't offer me your cash or flash me a badge, your friendship's good enough for me. Break my trust, watch the sparks fly. Not without forgiveness, but definitely human. Instantaneously horrific, gradually unbearable. Wait for the sky to clear up. It'll happen. Self-testimony doesn't bring out the best in anyone, especially me. See other's for THEIR impression.
Toodles.
PLEASE DON'T:
Ask me too many questions.
Try to draw out my personal thoughts. Unless invited.
NEVER try to tell me who or what I am. How the hell would you know better than me?
NEVER EVER insult my religion. Please. It's just something you don't do.
NEVER EVER insult my family. People HAVE gotten hurt for making that mistake.
No racism. It tears this world apart and it hurts people.
Ok can everyone please keep any 'emo' comments to themselves. It's not that I care that I'm being labelled as one but gosh I've heard it so many times and frankly, it's getting quite tiresome
Call me Paul Twohill and I break your face. Grr.

FRIDAY. The beginning of the weekend. AND IT WAS PACKED. Hahaha. Ok first up, went to visit my grandma on my mom's side, all the way in Sengkang. Been back for over a month and this was my first time visiting her! I felt guiltyy! Haha. But she's doing fine and all, more cheerful then the last time I saw her :) After that we headed down to the club to play table tennis and go bowling. There are only two words that come to mind when trying to describe the table tennis - EPIC FAILURE. No joke. Our rally counts did NOT exceed 5. Pathetic really XD. Bowling was far more successful! Managed an average score of 114 (averaged over 3 rounds). Not too bad! But there were these crazy guys next to us who made us look like total noobs with their insane spinning D:
Sorekara~ LGEE! Haha it was full house! Even Daniel showed up! ( Which seemed appropriate, seeing as we were starting the book of Daniel XD) And Matthew Tan showed up too! Gosh, I haven't seen him in a while. He's changed quite a bit since the last time I saw him aye. As usual, we had dinner first then headed back to church for some not-so-serious stuff. It was pretty chaotic actually haha. What with 1 hour long sharing sessions, obscurely worded pictionary and failed DOTA charades XD But still a blast, as LGEE usually is :)
Day11:
La dia numero once. Ok haha remembering the question(s) I was asking in my previous post? Like, how can I do more? Well guess what? Today's lesson offered me some answers. I'm starting to feel that there's gonna be more of such match-ups to come. Anyway, the booklet introduced this idea of gleaning. Now, gleaning, in essence, is scavenging. It's picking up after the main gatherers/harvesters/reapers have finished. And I also read the story of Ruth and Boaz. What I got out of it was basically, help to make their job easier, by giving them something you don't actually need that much of. Boaz gave Ruth more grain because he felt compassion for her, and wanted to make her life easier. So I'm gonna challenge myself to take on that spirit that Boaz was displaying - the spirit of charity. And this does not just apply for physical things like cash and other itmes. It could be voluntary help or even just support. Either way, it'll help to make someone's job, or even their life easier. So if we CAN do it, then why not? :)

Speak up!
Haha just kidding
Anyway here are the rules, actually let's just call 'em guidelines. Rules sound too strict for this space. So here are your GUIDLELINES:
1) Numero uno - Please do respect whatever I've written here. Whatever I post on this blog has a reason behind it and does actually mean something to me. So I just ask that you show a little respect.
2) Mind your manners please! This really actually applies to your LIFE as well. Be polite :)
3) Leading on from point 2, I do not tolerate any forms of discrimination; be it racial, sexual, whatever it is. It is definitely NOT appreciated here. Take it somewhere else.
4) Maturity is a MUST. Please keep all comments mature! Name-calling goes under 'immature' so if you were planning on doing that, please change your mind right now.
5) In the same way that prejudice and discrimination are absolute no-no's. I have a zero-tolerance policy regarding insults directed towards my friends, family and religion. Please do refrain from making offensive remarks about those subjects.
6) SH! It would be nice if you didn't spread whatever I've posted on here hahaha ;D
That aside, enjoy this blog, no matter how frequently, or rather INfrequently I update it. (I am known to go on unannounced 'breaks') Take care, God bless :)
Yours, ever so sincerely, Andyrooroo
