Who am I?: Andrew Goh
Also known as...: In order of usage, Andyrooroo, Andy, Andyroo, Anne.

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.

Long sms conversations, crazy confusing triangles, the predator and the prey, free hugs, unappreciated touchiness, heineken and dried apricots, the mushroom and the great white, the whites and blues and khaki-greens, regret brushes, over-sensitivity, Las Angeles and Sentosa, Japan and Australia, triangles triangles TRIANGLES. Minor sadness.

Well today was surprisingly packed for a Monday. First meal I ate was lunch which was at Cafe Cartel, mom decided to treat us :] I love my mommy <3 Off to my aunt's house all the way over in Bukit Batok to give my cousin a cheque for his wedding (OMG HE'S GETTING MARRIED =D), head over to Parkway for a spot of shopping. I needed more shorts. all my shorts are getting wrecked, seriously. I have no idea WHAT I'm doing to them but they jurt keep getting ripped, or torn, or shot, or strangled, or drowned. Dinner, then over to ANOTHER aunt's house and witnessed the craziest, highest, hyperest 4 year old cousin ever hahaha. My day in a nutshell. A pretty big nutshell.

Day14:
Wow I felt today's devotional was pretty powerful.

"If Jesus came to Singapore tomorrow, where would He be?"

If you took a look at Jesus's journey, and what it says in the book of Matthew, and applied it to our modern Singapore, you come to realize that he'd one of those unk-uhs at the coffeeshop, a worker in the back of a lorry, or even a prisoner! As if that wasn't enough, the devotional then went on to say:

"Whatever we do to another human being, we do to God."

And I seriously got VERY frightened. I started thinking of all the bad things I've ever done to anyone, scolding them, taking advantage of them, making fun of them... All of these things that I HAD BEEN DOING TO GOD ALL ALONG. And THAT is why we should treat the impoverished, and for that matter ANYONE, with kindness. For Matthew states:

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"

-Matthew 25:40

Whenever we show love to ANYONE, down to the very 'lowest' by this society's standards, we're showing love for God. And conversely, if we truly love God, we will show the same love to all those around us! And showing love doesn't just stop at providing physical items like food or cash, but showing true love would mean SHARING THE WORD OF GOD. But how could we attempt to fulfil their spiritual needs without first attempting to meet their physical ones? Which is why we need to make a start in helping and loving the poor! This was truly one of greatest revelations I've witnessed so far during this 40 days fast. It's only day14. What could come next? PRAISE GOD!

Dear dear dearest viewers, before you read any further, I just thought I'd point out a few rules that I hope you'll follow while going through this lil' blog of mine. You wanna listen closely now, some of these rules, when broken, are punishable by death.
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
