Grandpa Rick is a grumpy person that is occasionally nice.. occasionally..Anyway he's been working on this blog template for the about 2 days and is pretty bothered by the fact that it took him so long to remember how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver again. His help eventually came in the form of LYC his "son" and miss poutyface his mei.. With the utmost torment by lawrence to work hard, he finally was able to create this below average template with (finally!) working layers. Go ahead and have a good time reading (or laughing at) this blog and above all remember that God loves you. Grandpa Rick is in actual fact 19 (just barely) at the point of completion of this blog template (26th October 2006) having already had his birthday on the 22nd of October. Born
into a family with a father that lacks hair and a brother that has too
much of it growing on his legs, Grandpa Rick grew up traumatised by
his older brother that occasionally liked to sit on him and has a weird
fetish thing going on with anime figurines. His parents however were
a blessing to him and aside from the odd argument from time to time,
Grandpa Rick usually listens to them. He also has a poor traumatised
younger sister that is constantly the butt of his fat jokes (though
it cannot be helped seeing as to how she walks into most if not all
of them) but he tries to take good care of her.. operative word being
TRY of course. All in all poor Grandpa Rick has been traumatised by
his siblings when he was younger and now get along with them more or
less fine.. However the trauma he suffered as a child has given him
quite the quirky attitude to life. The biggest influence to his life however is God. Grandpa Rick old (or young if you want) as he is is deeply in love with God. The person that has helped him through all his troubled times and the one that has sent many a friend his direction when he needed help. God has always been there for him and Grandpa Rick is very grateful. He often gets inspired by God to write poetry (which can be found along with other things in all "All that good stuff") or songs without the lyrics in tribute of God. Grandpa Rick believes that God died to save him from all sin and believes that God is his lord and saviour. Through many close and personal encounters with God, Grandpa Rick is certain about God's love and God's plan for his life. He hopes to live in God's way and let God guide him in all that he does. Of course, Grandpa Rick is still learning and is prone to the occasional (oh alright, frequent) mistake. But the key point here is that Grandpa Rick loves God and that there is nothing that he wouldn't do for Him. Finally
it is to be said that it isnt a good thing to get Grandpa Rick angry..
you see old people dont handle anger very well and goodness knows what
happens when Grandpa Rick goes over the edge.

ahh finally time to post more.. after like a hectic yesterday where i went everywhere and did almost nothing productive.. watched a really stupid movie called school for scoundrels.. not worth the ticket price at all man.. its really a brainless show.. but in anycase lets get on with the real post shall we? as was mentioned in my previous post, this post is going to be or should be a long and boring one.. yes long and boring cos im gona try and give a brief or not so brief summary of everything that has happened in the past few days.. well 18+ to be exact. oh and one last thing before i continue, just in case i get any post telling me that the template is outdated.. i dont really care if destination where is over.. frankly speaking i like the flash and im too lazy to take out the pop up ads from the template and it will get taken out when it gets taken out. so there
now on to the rest of the post.. destination where.. well this is the first major production that was done in a few years and well i wasnt acting in this one.. instead i was doing props.. and though people said that i did a good job coordinating the props and everything i actually didn't do much.. justin did the whole set and probably the most i did to help out for that was to get the styrofoam for the train and paint it for abit.. the set was mostly done by justin and caleb.. many thanks to them for doing it cos if it were me that had to do it.. i'd probably not have done such a good job.. as for the props management.. all i did was secure the props.. the real person behind the props management was denise (the small one not the director mind you) i put her in charge of handing out the props and making sure that the props were accounted for and i must say that she rose up to the responsibility pretty well.. ok fine she did very well.. cos at the end of the day there were no props missing.. cept a few monopoly notes that well.. people chose not to return or were no where to be found.. in anycase that was for props.. basic thing is that i didnt do much and the people covered for me.. now i personally thought that the play was good.. i mean though the storyline didnt end with the main character gettin on the right train.. i thot that the storyline was one that many could identify with.. especially in the context of youth in singapore now.. in anycase.. i think that the cast did a great job.. now i know that this has been said alot of times in the various blogs so i shall now use my own points of view.. i think.. in anycase i cld really see that God was working in the destination where production cos the props were started late.. and well it was stressful cos alot of things props wise had to be changed last minute.. like for example the structure i tied had to be dismantled and was never built again.. but it still came in useful i think.. anyway still on destination where.. i had to take a paragraph break so it wldnt seem too long but anyway .. not only that.. it was probably the first time acting for many of our cast and dancers.. but it all pulled together well.. and it wasnt only the process of preparation for the production or the production itself that God's hand was seen.. God's hand was seen even after the production has finished.. i mean you can clearly see that JYM was more bonded after the production.. and stories about how the friends that were brought were touched and how back slided christians came back to God.. now that isnt the only thing good that came out of the concert.. personally for me.. this whole thing was something that helped me quite abit.. i mean it gave me a chance to start talking to people that i havent been talking to alot.. it gave people that were usually quiet a chance to show their talents and hearts for serving God.. and also it was a great encouragement to many others and to me.. i mean.. to see the dancers and actors come down almost everyday just to rehearse for the thing.. shows me how committed they are.. Kenny for example had work but he still came down everyday after work as tired as he was to rehearse.. at least thats how i saw it.. nadine at one point had both school dance and church dancing as well but still she came down.. blisters and all to help out.. these are only two of the many stories of commitment that were seen during the whole thing.. encouragement was everywhere as well.. like glenn said.. to see people huddling in groups or alone praying on their own accord for the production before the play started or to see people just worshipping backstage.. it was great.. also to see people that dont usually worship just worship.. pure un compromising worship.. if anything that was worth it.. that was what glenn said and i agree.. it really was great to see JYM bonding.. Christ and Co camp itself was great.. it was alot of work.. but great.. and i can tell you after camp i was never so happy to get a hot shower ever.. but the camp was a great experience la.. i mean its a good thing..but when i first saw my grp.. i mean like.. aside frm hsin qin and gabriel.. i dont talk to anyone else.. much.. and well it wasnt really a group i was looking foreward to, to tell the truth.. but i must say that im glad i ended up there.. i mean i got to know people better.. and i think that through the games we bonded quite well.. esp the holland V ones.. which i think were very well planned.. but anyway i really enjoyed the worship most of all.. i have been quite dry the past few months.. spiritually dry that is and i guess in some way or another the worship really helped me.. it moved my soul again and i guess it really was a tool to bring me closer to God..it really was a great feel to worship and let someone else handle the PA.. now that i think most of the PA crew are confident and able to handle the sound and visuals well.. but one of the things im most thankful for is the chance to talk to siyu again.. i mean like its been really long since we talked and we had alot to catch up on.. plus i guess it was a good thing cos i really needed to talk and clear my head of all the stuff thats been going on.. overall i think it was good and guess what.. john pang was both my angel and mortal.. how coincidental.. hrm.. what else.. i guess overall i found camp really good la.. it helped me relise how much i value God in my life.. finally on to CHRISTMAS christmas was very rushed this year.. had to do alot of shopping in like what? 3 days? its too rush for me man.. well the two presents im most happy about shopping for was ivan's phone and lawrence's weight gainers which ARE working! im glad to say.. but in anycase.. many thanks to all the cards and stuff i got for christmas! im quite happy about the stuff this year.. thanks to all who talked this year.. im abit lazy to write more now tho.. hrm.. i think i'll do one final thing la.. like last year i'll write a little sth bout the people who affected my life alot this year.. Joel Pang ok joel... you've been my close or probably my closest friend since like what? sec2? so obviously you've had a great impact on my life.. heh ur like my conscience.. always asking me to check myself before i start doing something stupid eh? also u've been a great friend la.. i mean just being there to be a listening ear and give advice on certian situations that i found to be extremely aggitating to me.. thanks.. also as i wrote in the card i know that we havent been hanging out as much as we used to.. we gotta change that man.. missed the times we went night cycling and stuff.. heh thanks for being there man.. i really appreciate it.. John Pang hey man its really great to see you opening up more and finding ur place in JYM.. its nice to see that.. i guess this year has thrown us together in more ways than one eh? but im glad for it man.. i've seen u open up more throughout the year and i must admit i thank God for that.. Kester ahh kesman.. you've been a barrel of laughs you have.. and someone that has blessed me alot by being in the group.. i mean though you dont really talk much you're someone that has always taken our teases and helped the group bond in more ways than one. its been a blessing having you as a friend Kenny kenny, you've been a great person to mentor.. and also someone that constantly teaches me the aspects of good goal keeping! heh i'll be sure to work on it.. promise! and also you've been a constant blessing to me throughout the year.. im sure i've told u this many times.. but yea.. if it wernt for u i'd prolly not know many of my follys.. thanks brother you've been a blessing Darren Darren, this year hasnt been a good one for you yea? but you pulled through and thank God for that.. through all these situations and well it helped me learn to trust God more.. your faith in going through all these situations helped as well.. thank God for you brother Ryan Ryan, you've been someone that i cld always turn to when i need someone to talk to.. thanks for everything man.. especially during the trying times of this year.. its always good to know that there's someone there to talk to when i need it.. also.. you've stopped me from doing some pretty stupid things this year.. thanks i really appreciate it Kaimin Kaimin, although i only really got to know you in the later part of this year, i think that you've had a tremendous impact on me during the year.. like that time you pulled me back and talked to me about how i shld act as a cell leader and stuff.. helped me check myself everytime i wanted to do something.. also i really enjoyed the talks we had.. be it crappy talks or not.. yea.. thanks for the vote of confidence on me bing cell leader and all.. it sth i really needed to hear.
