I think I will invest again ba for Fen 14 because in France she was my best listener and encourager. But who to give? My Mum or someone else or her again? Or just simply for myself...??

Last year I did a similar rating on the CNY Blockbuster movie. If you still remember, CJ7 emerge the winner from the Ah Long and Slam Dunk. SO this year I did it again and Love matters won the rating by 1 point. But that is what I feel la. Both movie are full of dirty jokes and content. I guess nowadays director want it in this way to make the audience laugh ba. Both movie focus a lot on "KKJ" I feel is funny la of course but The wedding game should be NC16 too. The languages both movie use should not be available to the younger people. The term they use was very bad.

Love matters message in the movie was sent across badly although it has a better message to convey to us than the wedding game. But the wedding game message was clearer. Do not lie to your spouse! I caught this very deeply in my heart! True love is hard to find so once I found it I will treasure and dote her very much de. Both movie talk about love. Especially The wedding game. The song in it was so captivating.

I am very frustrated about myself. I always want to behave maturely but I find myself always behave like a monkey. Doing some foolish and unnecessary stuff. Sometime I wonder will there any girl like me? I find my feeling very messy. Who do I really like? Am the person the true 1 for me? Sound so childish but I am facing such a situation. I don't have much confidence at all. My 2nd time of failure. I really don't have much faith le. Don't get me wrong. I am not being emo or what. My NS coming, I suppose nobody will ever commit to a guy who r in army ba. =(

I just change my cable TV setup box to Hubstation.
It was a good decision and investment
Every month I need to pay $8.75 for the rental for that box
It can record show and stall inside the build in hardisk

It can rewind and fast forward the recorded show

It have many other function too

Beside taking the London Eye, during Christmas Eve, I went for a stadium tour at England soccer team national stadium - Wembley! They just finish constructed 2-3 years ago. It has over 1000 toilets in the stadium. The world record for the number of toilet!! It was really an eye opener and also the tour guide share with us many football knowledge and history. It was a good morning spent.

Wembley
The Royal box
I follow the tradition way and climb 107 steps to collect the FA cup trophy! Haha if you watch soccer you will know what is the tradition step for the FA cup.
I am seated between the seats of Gerrard and Rooney in the dressing room
The captain!
Dressing room of England



All this door are to the VIP box. David Beckham bought 1 of such VIP box. On the 2nd door is a VVIP box. It cost $500,000 per year to have the luxury. Guess who the owner? - Roman.....

I had my final presentation for my FYP in school just now. After presenting the same thing at Paris I have the confidence to do well. In Paris I receive positive feedback but just now the presentation was a horrible experience. The expectation of the manager was different from my Professor in Paris. He interrupt me in the middle of my presentation and I need to think fast at that moment to suit his requirement. I mean how you want me to change in such a last min when I am only given 15mins?! Damn it la. F him off man. B4 hand he also never tell us what he wants from us. Hai.. my dream of getting an A issit possible?
The manager ask me a lot of question and I feel is trying to make things difficult for me. KNN lor.. just because the things he know he keep asking and for my friend presentation the things he don't know he even don't bother to ask. Issit FAIR? In the world out there hard work is no use de lor.. people don't give u a damn. The world only care about talent. No matter how hard you try at the end of the day you don't produce the work they demand - you can go and die.
Now the school demand all 7 of us to go back to school to have a normal school term le for the remaining 1 month of school term. But for the 1st week of Feb, I got a tuition assignment at a 2 Primary school. twice a week from 1pm and 130pm respectively onward. I really need the money for my SOT and personal allowance. But I have not settle with my teacher on whether I can take half day off twice a week. He said I need to be in school just like the rest. But I already told my cousin I want to have that assignment. Hai now I really don't know what to do. Arggg I am feeling F*cking sian la. This year is gonna be a tough year. NS coming....
My feeling since that day in Paris was like Psalms 73. I as a Christian been giving to church offering and building fund. Give away my money and serve God every Sunday with no money pay. Commit to church vision and trying to be a nice and obedience Christian. Go for praying meeting and disciple by leaders in which you cannot talk back to them or else they think you are disobedience etc. I mean i given my life for God. And I receive the kind of treatment I am having now? People out there in the world are sinning. They mock and laugh at us christian. Curse God and think we are crazy to believe in Jesus. Yet they can get away with it and they are rich. Drive big car live big house. Own a big company. In Psalms 73 this is how Asaph think at his life.
But I know God is the STRENGTH of my heart and my portion forever.

She claim to treat me as a friend but in actual fact she does not even treat me as a friend not to say a lover. Hai... my friend ask me every year want to buy flower for 14 Feb must call him. I will give the same answer this year. Give le flower so what? =(

Went to serve at PlayGrp this morning. Thankful for all the teachers whom were so welcome to see me back. Florence, my BBG friend, she said my face grow fatter. Ps Derek's maid also said that. It is true that I gain 2kg on Paris. Florence see my face and she said.. my look tell her that I am still so hungry for God. Some people never attend church for a long time their fire will cease off.. she added. I think it is the glory of God in me ba. The light that shine.

Anyway today was an exciting day. To see the kids expression when they look at me. Some stare and walk away as if nv see me b4 some stare and think for a very long time trying to figure out who am I. Haha their expression was so funny. Only 1 person call me Teacher CK - Ethan John Dunn!! My darling Boy =) I went to the 3-6 yrs old room to look for him. He seem to be having fun indeed.

Me: Halo.. Ethan.. teacher miss u
Ethan: Halo teacher CK
Me: Do you miss me?
Ethan: Ermmmm not really
Me: Y but I miss u so much
Ethan: Because I am having so much fun here!!

LOL... haha anyway we had a short but sweet conversation. I told him I buy a tee shirt from Disneyland. He was quite happy. I kiss his head haha love hugging him and smell him. Not disgusting but simply because Ethan is my BOY! I watch him grow up so have this relationship le. Erin and Erika was so shy to see me and I don't know Y. Haha. They cook something for me but ask Mingwei to pass to me. They dare not come near me. Erika became so cute le. Erin as usual the xiao Jie type.

Joyce lei not so"Guai". Due to her brother Joash went over to the other class, Joyce kept crying and not obedience. At 1st when I saw Joash, he stare at me nv call me. Then I went over again.. he saw me and came to me. He call teacher CK!! Haha That is my boy mah. Had a fruitful morning serving the kids. They always make my day. Auntie Joy - Ps Derek's maid, hang the HP strips I bought for her on her HP le. Haha. Mingwei was saying C U tml to the other auntie. Then he corrected to next week. I joke. Wa Mingwei you want to date auntie for a movie tml issit. LOL.... I added that Mingwei you must ask Pastor Derek 1st. Auntie repied "TEACHER CK!!!" LOL... =)

Below are some of the random picture I took in London. Went to quite a few places so just post some and more will come as the day goes



















Yesterday I was not in my right mind taking to this sister. My attitude was lousy and not a man I should be at all - Pride. Really disappointed with me for this few days. In the beginning of 2009 was great. I caught the Vision Ps Kong lay out and was very excited. But some how I became faithless. Got to know my Andy being attach and Elisha my ex Ministry friend also attach too. I find myself in a situation of comparing. I know I should not but this is human nature. I spoke to her and I thought I am not pushing her but in fact I am pushing her and pressuring her. Myself to blame ba for getting the answer. - "The truth is we are just a friend" Well... all I need is to accept it and face the reality which many said - Now is not the time or the age factor. MY NS and SOT are the 2 other things that was bothering me. Ps Derek Yesterday mention about SOT during the altar call. Immediately God's presence hit me and I was crying non stop in an instant. I am not kidding you can ask Ben. John Bevere preach a message that warn us about Judgement seat and that kind sermon will not cause me to cry or what so ever. But during the altar call for sinner.. I have no idea Y Pastor mention SOT. I believe is a double confirm. Now I am in the junction do not know if I am to go right, left, straight or to stay where I am. Is a hard decision to make. Is the love real or issit just temporary? 1 of my ministry member suddenly ask me "How u and the girl you like?" Of all qns she ask me that. I also don't know how to answer her. Because me myself also don't know.
Later is Manchester United vs Chelsea. The day I support Chelsea for a match will be the day you know I have succeed.
