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.

Man, today's schedule was pretty packed for a weekday, and I'm glad! Refreshing change from the usual, mundane, everyone's-in-school-while-I'm-on-holiday weekday :D So anyway, went to Jon's house for visit/tea/hang out/whatever. Ok I say we had tea, it was more like a second lunch (I've been having lots of second lunches recently, haven't I?) There were chicken wings, ham sandwhiches, cucumbers with tuna, curry potato things, and these weird half-eggs with mayo-nised yolks. Omoshiroi ne~ And it all tasted good too! :p Then there was the hangout! The best part hahaha. We watched Superhero movie! If you haven't seen it, GO SEE IT, IT IS HILARIOUS XD Of course I played on Jon's guitar and all his stuff. His newly-fitted strings and his $20 pedal ain't that terrible either. Waiting, to get a distopedal myself haha. THEN WE PLAYED AN OLDSCHOOL POKEMON BOARD GAME. It was this uberdupersuperpwnageawesopmeepic boardgame we played when we were still in primary school. WE ALL GONNA BE POKEMON MASTERS!!!
Then disaster struck.
I was in Bukit Timah. It was 6.25.
I had an appointment with my friends for 6.30 at Siglap.
The traffic from Bukit Timah to Siglap is just.... Unbearable. Vehicles seemed to get in our way more than ever and there was more than the usual amount of road-hoggers in the right lane... But still I managed to reach there at 7 thanks to mom's awesome driving! Hahaha had a nice steak and a nice chat :) Caught up with people I haven't seen in a long time like Andrew Ann, Wei Ru, Jolene and Phy! Hahaha they're still the same wacked out people I know :D
You have reached a checkpoint. Would you like to save?
Day8:
Well I consider TODAY not YESTERDAY to be the one week checkpoint. Haha thank God I managed to last this long, and well done to everyone else on their first week :) Keep it up yeah? I feel an update on my fasting is required. Eto~ It's going pretty well actually. I thought it would be harder as I assumed I'd be sitting at home alot in the afternoons with nothing to do BUT the computer. But thankfully, I've managed to go out almost every afternoon and do something waaay more constructive. Namely, spending time with friends and family, who by the way, I love to bits :) So hopefully I can continue to spend my time wisely :)
OK SO. Lesson #8 - The Great Alienation. To me this seemed to be about prejudice and discrimination against foreigners and how that leads to exploitation and oppression. This alienation extends to all sorts of branches - race, gender, social standing, socio-ECONOMIC standing, religion, and the list goes on. But I guess the 2 MAIN things to be noted are these: 1) If you personally harbour any discriminatory or prejudiced thoughts against an 'alien', rid yourselves of them and approach God in repentence, seeking forgiveness, and 2) For those that are suffering at the hands of alienation, extend a loving hand and provide them with God's help. Be it a disfigured person selling tissues for some cash at Orchard, or an an Indian who has to seek refuge on the streets and pavements of Little India, however different to you they are, just reach out and help them :)
As for that friend of mine mentioned in the last post, I just told him to take his time and shared a little more about God's love :) And definitely still praying :)

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
