Who am I?: Andrew GohAlso 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.

Ok so I decided to blog about the 40 day fast cause I've got enough time on my hands. :D I've got NO SCHOOL you see hahahaha. SO anyway-
DAY1:
Ok so I guess I'd better talk about my chosen fast first. Eto~ I decided to go for a lifestyle fast. I'm gonna be cutting down on my computer time. Like, the computer really takes up more time and gets more in the way of God than my meals do. So I thought the computer would be a fair choice. Also, I'm gonnna be going on a short trip to Penang somewhere mid-July, and it is VERY hard to avoid food in Penang. Fasting in Penang would be nightmarish hahaha. Cho muzukashi~
So anyway, today was The Great Buffet. And right from the go, I was already faced with a rather hard question to answer honestly:
I actually spent a long time thinking about this question and trying to answer it. I came to the conclusion that honestly, yes I am sometimes. Sometimes I only hear what I want to hear from the Bible - not the entire truth that it's trying to tell me. But on top of that CONCLUSION, came this RESOLUTION: I don't want to be that kind of a Christian any more. I want to take the Word as more of a truth, rather than just a comfort, or something that I can read to make me feel good. I want to take in EVERYTHING that the Bible's trying to tell me.
So I guess those are the main points of my first day. 39 more to go! Hope I'll be able to persevere through them hahaha. With God's help I will I'm sure. Anyway, I'll be praying for everyone else who's doing this 40 day thing. Pray that God will instill that same discipline into all of you haha. And that you will open up to what the God's trying to tell you through His word :) Good luck have fun everyone, God Bless.

"Are you a cut-and-paste Christian with a pick-and-choose attitude towards the Word of God - slelectively reading and quoting what suits your personal whims and fancies?"

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
