Look at this guy!!!

He's George Sampson, the winner of Britain's got talent 2008.

whenever i watch the britain's got talent videos about him i just start crying uncontrollably. Seriously, i can't help it. George's life story is super touching. He comes from manchester and used to dance along the streets to raise money for lessons and petrol for his mum to drive him to school.He actually took part in britain's got talent 2007 when he was 13 then but got kicked out just before the semi-finals, however, this just motivated him more and he went on to take part in Britain's got talent 2008 when he was 14. despite having a rare spinal condition that caused him to go blind in one eye before, this did'nt stop him from continuing to dance.

A lot of people said that he won the competition due to pity but i don't think so. I think that he really deserved to win because he is really AWESOME and humble, not like other contestants that proclaim on the stage that they are confident of winning. he basically used his winning as a testimony for other poor people, to follow their dreams no matter what other people would say.

This has caused me to reflect on my life... why can't i be like george and perservere on in the things i do... i realise that it's because i'm always scared of failure, like the singapore youth choir auditions. my mum and i have been practically been talking about since i could sing which was about when i was one. choir has been my life even before i was born as my mum had a lot of choir performances while being pregnant with me.

However, the thing i'm scared about is not the comittment i would have to make if i got into the singapore youth choir... it's the fear of not getting through the auditions.... Why can't i be like george sampson, just going out to do my best and not being scared of failure..... calm down angeline, don't panic, failure is just a stepping stone to success, the more experince you've had with failure, the closer you'll get closer to success.

Like George, i hope that i'll be able to succeed one day, in the way God has planned for me.

Dear God,

i'm crying out to you for help!!!!!!!!!!

please help me to overcome my fear of failure.

please direct my path in the right way so that the things i do will be according to your will.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!!!

hellooo earth people, i'm in the jobs db office now on work attachment and i'm starting to regret choosing local service learning!!!!! Seriously, there's nothing to do here except sit in front of the computer and do nothing because youtube is banned so i can't watch more george sampson or connie talbot or andrew johnston.. *sigh* there's no life in this place... the other office people keep telling us to do our own things and saying that they'll come back to us but they never do. and the guy in charge of us is always having a meeting. the worst thing is that we can't leave this small, suffocating office until lunch hour which is in an hour's time!!!!! this is killing me!!! I think that the only good thing about this work attachment is that they are paying us $25 a day
so it'll be $125 this week!!!!!!!! but guess what, they are letting the school handle the money which obviously means that we can only dream about it now because____ will say that we actually were'nt supposed to receive any money and the money will be used for more lights or something . And its freezing here like crazy!!!!! another one degree lower and i'll turn into an ice cube... Priscilla lim the class chairman who was supposed to be here with me pulled out suddenly to go to a law firm and she asked me to pull out to, but if i pull out, i'll have no where else to go except my uncle's childcare centre. I'm dying of boredom here and the ridiculous thing is that when priscilla pulled out, i left as the only girl in the group.. *double sigh* the other guys are like playing computer games on the computer. Fortunately or unfortunately, they found some websites that the company hasn't banned!! seriously, they are like addicted to the computer, they have been playing for like 3 hours non-stop. Its madness watching them.
i miss tiffany like crazy!!!!!!!!!!! i hope she's safe in cambodia... she's coming back on friday and i'm ending my work attachment on friday too!!!!! YAY!! wishing she was here with me. i miss all the rubbish talks and luaghing with you for 1 hour non-stop (our latest record- i timed it) haha.. :)
i actually told tiffany that i wanted to hide in her suitcase with her to cambodia but then she would be arrested when i was found out .... haha . i never expected tiffany to continously read nornat's blog and update me about her. Nornat is scaring me to death with all her ailments.... haha:D i remebered the time in a maths lesson when tiffanee was telling me about what she saw on nornat's blog... something about some sickness she had and tiffany actually researched on it and found all the possible sicknesses she might have had. haha:) Actually, i really notice the differance in nornat after she has been attending church regularly. The drastic changed in her is a testimony of what God can do in your life when you accept Christ into your life.. anyway, i'll definitely visit you when you go for your operation in june... haha i'll visit you every day you are in the hospital..
uh oh the boss is coming in so i'd better stop now. So that's all for now.

2009-04-17T08:08:00.000-07:00

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!! and i really hope that fairfield choir can do well!!!:)

2009-03-23T10:32:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILLIAN!!!:)

hahah, i hope she likes the presen i gave her!

i think she's super sweet and nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i remeber the first time i tried to make friends with her.... i think it was in church camp last year. hahah, and she kept running away from me at the beginning, but i think towards the end of camp, she smiled at me and shared her sweets with me... hahah

took quite long to make friends with her, as in really really make friends!! hahah, like she's really comfortable with me now and instead of me going to find her, she comes to find me in church.. so sweeett. hahha, she even chats with me now about everything a little girl could possibly want to say.. i love her a lot:)

2009-03-22T21:48:00.000-07:00

i think that this is the nicest one.. cause everyone's smiling and lokking at the camera. haha!

hahah.. this was the day when we all just sat at the table at and took lots and lots of pics !!! cause my camera had a face dectection mode so we just had to smile at it.... lol.

i think that there wasn't cell that day so missing quite a few people like abs, terry and ardella, hahah!!

Seriously, now the only lesson i actually look foward to is pe... i love running 2.4km for napfa.. hahah

2009-03-11T06:27:00.000-07:00

i've just noticed recently that i have been practising flags like crazy over these few weeks, like 2 hours everyday non-stop. haha i think it's because i really need to brush up on my skills to teach the flag ministry people at church, cause they are getting better and better already and i've not been able to see what they have been doing with Susan in class lately because of dear old laney and benjamin that i have to help them catch up in the beginner's syllabus.hahha, anyway because of this, i've sort of been day dreaming a lot about what will happen to the flags and tambourine ministry once Susan leaves... How fast would i with the help of God be able to find people willing to help teach with me?? would i be able to continue the classes with the same standard as they are now??
Dear God, please please help me with this situation i'm in, to show me what to do that is pleasing to you.

Anyway, lately, it's like i can't concentrate in class nuch and i keep on playing tricks on others, like breaking a stink bomb in class, hahha well i can't seem to focus especially in A maths i guess, cause i'm like forever starving in that class and so i forget or i start day-dreaming a lot which makes me like so behind the class! And this causes me to really miss last year in 2B'08. hahha

i really miss the times during chinese class when i sit beside wenhui and he makes up "songs" on the spot which are really funny and they make me laugh throghout the entire lesson and causes huang lao shi to think that we're nutcases.haha
i also really miss the times scaring noelle in the toilet with tiff, especially just before pe lessons!! hahaha and i miss talking with justin, gorden and noelle duirng el disscussion time... but actually we talk nonsense.lol
i also miss that time when i was late for school and i had to go for dentention on the sky bridge and also had to do the funfair decorations... so i had to alternate between being at the sky bridge, and at the classroom without letting the discipline teacher find out... hahah, it was really funny because one moment, noelle would be telling me to run back to the sky bridge cause the teacher was coming and then later on telling me to come back... hahah

Don't get me wrong, i miss 2B'08 but i don't hate 3A'09, i love it tooooooooo, hahah but i feel like i'm the worse student in the class because if i forget to bring my homework to school one day, i'll be like the only one in my ckass who has forgotten... hahah

2009-01-28T02:42:00.000-08:00

Hahah, today i went to SHAUNA's HOUSE!!! becvause ethan is going to SOTA so this was a mini celebration!!! hahah, my throat will seriously be the death of me.... i love chilli so much but my throat MUST give me so many problems this year... like just before i sang the few solos i had this year, and just before i was mc for the creation service by MSM!! Shauna's grangma cooks the best mee siam ever and i couldn't taste it because of my sore throat...it's really killing me!! hahah, anyways, i still ate the pineapple chicken curry cause it wasn't spicy and it's suuuuppperr niicccee!!!!!!!!!

2009-01-27T01:22:00.000-08:00

SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!! hahah (I love hugging little kids!!!!!!! haha.. jillian hugged me 4 times in church on sunday and i didn't ask her to! haha)

i'm really so gald that susan has set up a tambourine and flags ministry in agape and i'm co-teaching with her!!!!!! it reminds me of the old days in my old church... i'm so proud of the agape flag ministry people!!!! hahah because their first perfomance on the church anniversary was fabulously goood!!! they really impressed me....... i'm so glad that the long hours susan and i spent teaching them and choregraphing the steps were worth all the trouble!!!!! they are even better than me when i first started learning flags from the older youth in my old church long ago............ hahah!! eventhough some of them dropped dropped their flags, they just picked them up and carried on!! hahah, if i was their age and that happened to me, i will probably be so embarrased and just stand there without moving!!! hahah......... YAY!! great job nicole, ben sr, ben jr, nicholas, clara, laney and angus!!!!

And i just want u all in the flags ministry to remember this, your flags are not for u to play for ur ow pleasure.. they are ur worship tools to praise God with!!

This was a performance of the tambourine ministry in ffmc!!....... like when i was pri 4

2009-01-26T15:48:00.000-08:00

I LURVVE CAROLLING IN ORCHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cause it's like the best thing ever!! hahah i think that this year's carolling was especially nice because for once i wasn't given a special role, like solo or mc...hahha. For once i received the chance to be a NORMAL choir member!!!
I think that the only problems this year was that i could neither see Ms Judith or hear the keyboard because the spotlight was shining directly in my face, so i was half-blinded and the road was directly behind me so i could practically only hear the cars!! lol. Anyway, it was still the best thing ever this year and i can't wait for next year to come!!! YAY!! also gonna help out in CCIS next year instead of just singing!!
HAHA, i adore this photo because it has most of the junoirs of the choir inside unlike the other photos with my choir buddies!!...still trying to take a full choir photo. Anyway, the one in red is Ms judith who is the BEST BEST BEST CHOIR CONDUCTRESS IN THE WORLD!!!!

2008-12-15T16:52:00.000-08:00

i can't believe my msm choir camp is over... it just whizzed by so quickly before i could slowly enjoy it! hahahah:) i think our lindy hop lesson on the third and last day of the camp was the best thing i had throughout the camp....except the games!!!
It was like in the beginning it seemed kind of stupid because the warm up exercises were the differnt movements of animals and some of them were really weird, but afterwards there was a lot of jumping and flinging your partner into the air and that was like super super super fun!!!!
I think everyone except the sion christian church girls wanted to do it.... even Matthias!!!!!! hahhah i finally saw him dance. hahah:)
i'm so glad that the service we had on the last day after the camp was GREAT!! But because all the other participants in the camp are from chinese churches and it came the part where we had to say the lord's prayer in english... Ms judith said that only emmaus and i were saying it cause the rest only memorised it in chinese!!!
i can't wait for my carrolling in orchard on the 22th of dec!!!! It'll be super duper funnnn!!!!!

2008-09-17T02:45:00.000-07:00

I am really super duper proud of my msm choir choiristers...you know why??!!

hahah, i just had a choir festival on 6th September where my msm choir, ta2 choir,
glory presbyterian choir and plcmc choir performed on the theme of God's creation . We sang two songs- Cantate(latin) and All the earth sing forth (english). hahaha, the other choirs all sang english and chinese songs.

feeling really proud of my choir because, eventhough the other choirs had more than twenty people and my choir had just about ten, we sang the best!!!!- we had the most bonded,unique and strong sound!:) i know that i'm the oldest in this choir and people might think i'm childish or something... i don't really care cause i really love this choir a lot!! This is because i joined this choir when it first started, i grew up in this choir, (i'm one of the most senoir in this choir... hahah) and i have been with the choir when it was like a nothing in terms of sound and everything until really coming to this stage where we are actully the best choir in the recent festival!

Sometimes, (the rest of those who joined the choir with me) when we think back on how the choir has really bonded together and really has become one voice, we really just feel like crying for joy!!! i'm really very very very happy that our choir has come to this stage...

will try to put up some pictures and videos of the festival!!!!

2008-09-06T09:00:00.000-07:00

ariella and i during ffmc church camp when we
were P4! i miss her loads! seriously ariella, i have
to meet you at the end of the year cause you didn't
meet me and dom in june!!!! hahah!

Math tuition was quite funny but disgusting... haha, reece, me, michelle and david were like sitting at the same table and our feet kept on touching. Yucks! it felt disgusting, but reece put it in a very funny way!Haha!

Anyway, i've just remembered sonmething, during the sec 2 adventure camp, we had a trust walk on the first night. My group was the first to finish so we were told to sit down in the gathering area first with our blindfolds still on. Eleanor and i decided to go around and find out who was near us... hahah! So i touched something in front and felt something like rubber, so i kept on rubbing it up and down until i heard a voice laughing and telling me to stop it.... i realised it was kai en's backbone i was rubbing and it was subber funny but kind of embarrasing! haha.... kai en is like super skinny that i can literally see his bones popping out from his arms a bit.. yucks!

2008-09-03T21:50:00.000-07:00

Anyway, its like so sad, i am supposed to be playing handbells NOW!!! with my beloved msm handbell ensemble at the ttc 60th anniversary hymm festival .but i can't because its too far... i like being with them... its fun!!!! hahah
AND CONGRATS YEEWEI ON UR POSITION as assistant student conductor, i'm sure u'll be able to lead the altos well!:)

2008-07-31T18:45:00.000-07:00

Misson Trip tomorrow!!!
i am so excited but the sad but about it is that i will miss the fairfield thanksgiving service, i want to see the DANCE ITEM!! and of course choir!!!... they are singing 2 of my most favourite songs- For the beautyof the earth and All things bright and beautiful... so sad, i can't watch or sing with them.... anyway, serena is going to help me take videos and pics!!!

2008-07-30T20:24:00.000-07:00

i am like falling sick because i laughed too much today...hahah
Like in maths class, noelle, serena, charlene, zoey and I were like laughing from the beginning of the lesson to the end non-stop...hahah, mr lum thought we went bonkers then..lol. He kept making comments which was so obvious that he was thinking that we were going bonkers, hahah. i went to my cousin's house today as my grandma wanted to go to the garden festival to buy something so i had to go along too to look after my cousins along the way and help. It turned out that i had no either of how to go to my cousin's house from school by bus, so i walked... hahah, my uncle was like horrified when i told him that i walked to his house....hahah.
i think that the car rides to suntec city and back were my worst and best. i love zheng and chuen!!!! i laughed so much during both car journeys from the beginning to the end that i had a sore throat and a stich....laughter is good, but too much damages. i think zheng seriously can get a job as a professional comedian in the future, he is already so pro now!! The garden festival is quite nice, eventhough i spent most of the time looking after eva and i don't really like plants.... i just find the flowers real nice.. hahah

2008-07-25T17:48:00.000-07:00

Finally can post!!! just met up with dom to watch the PL mgs musical! i tell u, they are super duper pro! It's like the main 3 characters in the story are all sec ones!!! haha! hope to meet dom and ariella soon!!!
Sunday was my first practise as the children's choir pianist... its fun but l have to like focus all my attention on the conductress and what she wants me to do, if not i will get lost... haha, i'm kind of stressed for the actual performance, i hope that i can play well on that day!
i love my class 2B, it's like ever since the sec 2 camp, our class has changed and become more united!! haha, our class actually managed to raise the third highest amount of money from the funfair!! i think none of us expected it!
2B is the best class that i could ever wish for!!!!
whats happening! i mean, now ms ng's prayer has been answered! there are so many people in handbells now!! TOO MANY!! cause now we have to take turns ringing.. so sad, aileen's leaving for now!! come back soon!!!
Yay! finally i can go for msm choir practise tomorrow!! haven't gone for like three weeks already!!

2008-06-04T14:56:00.000-07:00

YAY! Tomorrow is the church camp! i am sooo excited. Ever since i came to this church, Agape Methodist church, i thought that i won't have any friends and would miss my old friends, from my old church so much. Initially, that was really how i felt about agape,and i was really upset to leave my two closest friends, Ariella and Dominique from my old church and plus i was very involved in my old church in the worship, tambourine, choir and children ministries.
Now i really want to thank God for putting me in Agape. i really enjoy this church eventhough i still miss my friends but God has given me the opportunity to meet them frequently. Thank you God for eveything you have given me.

2008-06-01T18:01:00.000-07:00

Getting ready to go to my cousins' house tomorrow morning to celebrate!

2008-05-19T23:15:00.000-07:00

WAFFLES...

Vesak day.. no school, but what exactly is it? nevermind...Anyway, today went out with noelle and tiffany to bugis to buy decoration materials for the funfair. But we only bought oil pastels cause shop did not sell banners or cloths. hahah, me and tiffany were taken aback when we went to a shop where there was no one at the counter but when we entered, a lady popped up from under the table. see what i mean by my 'taken aback'? hahah, after all that, i went to aunty serene's house and we had a waffles party- lois, shermain, clarisse, abigail, jessica, terry and janice!
sorry noelle that i did not ask u to go cause i thought that it was too rushed and i knew that u would want to stay at bugis longer and not go off earlier... but cell people and aunty serene did ask why u did not come. Sorry... we also played bible trivia and my goodness, i am ashamed off myself because i forgot a lot of stuff that i know already... still today was so fun but school tomorrow.

2008-05-17T03:16:00.000-07:00

Hello... I love my choir clique so much: Amy, Dia, Lan, Emmaus and chayayaya...hahah:)
i wish things could go back to the way they were when we all had fun together in choir. We just started to sound good as one voice and then now you all are leaving... why is life so unfair!!! I know that this must be God's plan for us, so i will follow it but i just miss them too much. I won't forget you all even as you all leave... canaan, come back!! to choir! we were just starting to be good friends through the practices and all and now this has happened. It is all too sad to be true...amy, you haven't given me your contact yet! i want to keep in touch with you! ILYall!

if only going back in time was possible...
