Hey, I have a very weird name called youdontneedtoknow, but you can call me Ernest. I like reading (or appearing to read) cheem books because I wanna be cheem, but I don't think that would be remotely possible in my life. I love Paramore and you probably shouldn't like them so I can have them to myself. My English sucks so you can sue me. I have very eccentric habits, like eating all my rice first before anything else.

A nice song :)




t's not everything it seems - the world and its dreams
Slipping like water through my hands tonight
All the things I thought would fill me up inside
Left me empty here - and now I know why

(Chorus)
All along I was looking for something else
You're something else
All along I was looking for something more
You're so much more
I finally found what I could never see before
You've always been the one that I was looking for

All of my castles in the sand - washed away again
And I'm left back where I began tonight
The only thing that can ever fill me up
Has been right in front of me all the time

Chorus

(Bridge)
I won't miss you - I won't miss you this time
I say I want you - yeah I want you in my life





This song makes me so much wanna praise GOD :)

If life had a restart button to it...
sadly it doesn't. That's the kind of desire that many people have. Wrong choices, made mistakes.. wished that they had another chance in life to make a difference. But, if another chance was given to you, how much difference would you make? A little or a lot?

Most of us would say.. not a lot but at the least.. not a little. True? But are all these empty talk? When there is an opportunity lying in front of us.. we hold back ourselves.. saying that there is another chance tomorrow? What if the chance never re-surface again?

Strive every moment in life. Life life to the fullest. Know what you want everyday (well, if you don't start thinking! it's never too late and it's always never too early to know what you want).

Yupps! this is my feel on life. Live to the fullest, do your best. You only have 1 life to live. Choose.

University Talks - Interestingly Captivating.
Well, if you can see.. I am redeeming myself by blogging many entries.. because I think I've neglected my blog a lot. And I feel that my avid readers would rebel and turn to another blog if this blog is not updated soon.

Anyway, went Audi 1 in Temasek Polytechnic to hear some talk. Actually, I enjoyed the SMU talk the most. Perhaps, the speaker was engaging with the use of the powerpoint (less words but pictures) and the use of 3 students speakers was genius. But it was a sad thing, they were restricted to sharing more.. due to time constraint i guess.

But, I think if I have the chance, I would still put NUS as my 1st choice since NUS is a more publicly recognised Uni around the world in terms of ranking as compared to SMU. So, NUS 1st SMU second. But on the other side, I may choose SMU because it is easier to get in as compared to NUS ... and a more vibrant campus life. So, the answer is not out yet.

Let nature take its course.. i believe the answer will be out shortly. Meanwhile, it's more important to .. study. That's the only thing i can do right now.

Lastly, i am enjoy auditing :) haha! if you were to ask me for an accounting subject.
That's all for now. Oh, read my entry on my dream about the killer.. and robber. It's quite bone-chilling though. Not for the faint hearted. And I do hope i drilled in the suspense and such. I was trying to recall my dream (it's a real dream by the way) and to potray the exact feeling that I went through...
Cheers!

Dreams and Nightmares
When I was younger, I always had dreams on zombies. Strangely, they were mostly zombies if you were talking about supernatural incidents. Perhaps, I am really aflliated to them (although i do not have the slightest intention of being related to them). I think zombies are the most horrifying supernatural thing... because they are ugly, physically visible.. and they are super HUNGRY and.. STRONG.

Scary nightmares aside.. i do have a few cheerful ones.. can't really remember.. But I believe it's more of the light hearted ones.. and I would laugh or smile and my maid would stared right at me.. telling me that it was my angel playing with me. Hilariously outrageous. Well, perhaps, she may be true.. and I wouldn't mind if that was an angel :)

Hmm.. well, time past so fast. And now I am much older.. and perhaps, the supernatural worlds no longer exist in my 'world'. So, it has turned into the ugly sight of the world - killing, bombings, home wrecking aparts and who know what else is next? Perhaps, it's a calling for me to accept reality and not run away?

well. Anyway, that's all for dreams and nightmares.. I doubt they are real anyway. But I will always have the greatest interest on how dreams are formed.. is it a reflection of your own creativity that your mind has formed? If yes, how and why do they form? Interesting isn't it?

Killers on the loose. An absolute madness.
The night was still young. Just below the block of a house nearby, my parents and relatives were chatting merrily over what they had encountered over the past week or two.

Just then, a guy dashed past screaming for help. Another lad, his face covered with a black cloth like those you would see robbing a bank in shows, was chasing after him. He raised his pistol and a shot was immediately fired at him. Seconds later, the guy fell flat on his face with blood oozing out, covering the floor around him. The lad (with the gun) grabbed his bag and ran off laughing hysterically into the darkness. That was the last we saw of him.

My parents and relatives faded into the background seconds after alerting us not to stay around too late. My sister and my friends bid them goodbye and lingered around the void deck for a while more.

The cold air carressed our face. Somehow, it wasn't the usual air that blew familarity. Instead, it gave us goosebumps all over. People were running around and the problem of robbery was more apparent now. By then, we realized that we should not stay on further and it would be a wiser choice to head home. We all noded our heads in unison. Swiftly, we made our move towards home.

The void deck was a complete darkness except for the flickering overhead light. We dashed into the light with hearts palpitating fast, hoping that no one would enter the lift. The lift came to an abrupt halt on level 3. Reached.

I quickly opened the door and all of us ran inside as fast as our legs could carry us. But it was far from over. Before, we could even heave an immense sigh of relief that we were all safe back home, my friend suddenly recalled that his Dad was supposed to fetch him from my place.

We gawped at each others. Time seemed to have stood still. Without even batting the next eye lid, our fearest nightmare came to life. The door bell rang. Still staring at one another, we wondered what to do. Flashes of images of killing, robbery and blood came to mind. As curiosity killed the cat, we slowly can carefully moved towards the wooden door.

Fear wretched our hearts and held us rooted. It seemed as though our legs had gone soft our what we have just saw. My friend's dad was held hostage.

The question that we all had in mind was to abandon my friend's dad or make the courage to open the door...



XXXX
Before making that decision, I was jolted back into reality. I surveyed the surrounding of my room. No one. No sound. And I knew that everything was nothing but just a nightmare of mine. I finally released a relief. My lungs felt better now. But the question of whether to save or abandon still etched on my mind till today. What would you do?

The perfect wife to have.
Proverbs 31
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

O bummber.
hmm. it's pretty late now.

got to sleep really soon. But well, there's always time for blogging right?
haha! well well. did my tax tutorial. Actually wass quite clueless.. but with the tax book and the answer.. i think i understand a little.

CRA tutorial + tax tutorial is always a bummber.
HAHA! the most straining day for me.

Well, got to pay more attention. Actually tax this year is not that difficult to score ( i feel) .. just lots of practice. On the other hand, I think I need to pay more attention on BTM. Because, I can feel that I am lagging behind quite a bit.

Well, that's all for today. Time to sleep, i guess. :)
but got to pop my pills first.

TATA!

Forgiveness
Sometimes, we yearned for others to forgive us. We wonder why it is so hard for others to forgive us for the mistakes that we've made. To a certain extent, we begin expecting others to forgive others for the mistakes that we've made. Perhaps, it's the blunders that people did to our lives that made us think this way.

Today, I was reminded that God didn't make any blunder in my life. But yet sometimes, I demand or expect God to forgive me for my sins because he is my God, my friend. To a large extent, I begin seeking for more and more from him yet obeying his instructions less and less. Is this the aftermath or the result of knowing God more by the measurement of time. The sentence 'the more i know, the less i understand' seemed to be applying into my life.

Is my relationship in God measured by the mere time I knew him? Or is it something more? Today, I am reminded of him that knowing God is not how long but how much you know and obey. (not just knowing)

As I dwelled upon this, I began seeing that perhaps, when asking for forgiveness... from him.. is it just because whoever seeks forgiveness from the Lord will be forgiven .. or is it because of wanting to be a better disciple? Is it more of a mundane, repetitive task that I partake myself in every mistake I made or is it because of true sorrow and the wanting to repent? Is there still a significant when the precious blood of Christ is spilled every time for the impulsive mistake that I did on my part or is it the guilt?

To be honest, I think sometimes I tend to do things in my life as an act of rashness rather than with the true intention of doing something.. which of course leading to regrets.

Perhaps, the lighthouse is shinning today in my heart. I guessed I've to repent and reflect on my spiritual life, despite the hustle and bustle of life to get back on the right track.

hmm.

early bird...
haha! reached school an hour earlier before BTM lecture.
Was afraid that I would take a long time to get dress for school. But somehow, managed to get dress in like 30 minutes.

So I slept for another 30 minutes before leaving the house at 9am and reached school at 10am.
HAHA!

hmm. printed some practice papers and some notes. :)
so this means, I do not have to come to school exceptionally early to get my notes printed out :)
cheers!

hmm. this is about it. will be having presentation later. Hope I do well :)
hey! and i just realize that I am a little more optimistic here :)

hope i get my 5% ^^

Presentation in Preparation.
After hours of working on the project, everything is finally over... in a glimpse of the eye. What left ahead is just the constant mugging. Dread mugging for the final exam because the final lap (for the sem) is always the most arduous one.

Have to do well this semester, so i guessed i really need my chicken soup + berries essence to keep me going. HAHA! But anyway, let's not worry about tomorrow for today has not pass. And so, I think I will wake up a bit earlier (like 30 mins earlier to get my clothes on and everything.. because I realized that at the last minute, I am always not satisfied with my appearance.. but being lacked of time.. i have to run amok to school like a lunatic).

Did some rehersals on my own. HAHA! Hopefully, I can be as confident as I was when I did my own .. rehersals. Didn't do the timing because I was really lazy. HAHA! and I didn't catch my hongkong show today. DAMNED. Tomorrow.. I must catch it. HAHA! to repay my diligience in getting my work done. For once, I didn't grumble despite the fact that I've tons of admin work to be settled - that means my notes and tutorials.

Revisions seemed to be endless...

Argh! see see.. I am back to worrying for tomorrow again. A common mistake. Worrying for a day that has not come will bring about more white hair. HAHA! so I think I should sleep early.. and prepare my vocal exercise (jaw exercise) as previously learnt from Public Speaking. Felt the exercises were useful because it helped relax the jaw and will not have the ham and hew problem (as much) ... and the relaxation exercise is also quite helpful. But to be honest, I've forgotten most of them. HAHA!

Missed the moment back then.

Well, for now.. let's end everything here.. and hope (pray) for the best. Go team members... let's flourish! HAHA!
