{Verse 1}
Think of me when you’re out, when you’re out there
I’ll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It’s a shame I’m a dream
{Chorus}
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
{Verse 2}
I think I’ll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs
That escaped from my mouth
{Chorus}
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
{Verse 3}
I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
And maybe then we’ll remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
{Chorus}
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
One of my favourite songs from the new Paramore album – Brand New Days 
Hayley can sing okay.
Anyway, planned what I’m going to study for amath within my 1 month time frame. Feeling good about it, I’m on track 
Still need help on the curves and circles topic. I don’t know how to approach the question and solve it, ah.
More studying later on, no more fun and going out to play anymore. Been turning down a couple of people who wanted to go out, really sorry. I have to discipline myself to study and not go out anymore!
Plans for the day? Well going to meet Ying for lunch KFC @ Tiong Bahru Plaza! Then gonna study there till cell group.
Oh and I have been hooked onto a game called Plants vs Zombies.
Basically it’s a strategy game where you have to plant your plants and use them to stop the zombies from invading you. Like a tower defense game Yeah I like those. Muyahaha. And yes, I do have the full version ^_^
Going to sleep right after I pray to God Many many things I want to tell him. Haha.
Happy children’s’ day.
Heyhey, F1 weekend is finally over! Wew. Such a tiring weekend. Moving of drums, and even more moving of drums! Drains all our energy, but it’s worth it.
So the last day was pretty slack, my group just basically stayed in the guest room thingy for almost the whole time. We had a performance at 6, which was just right outside, so we just moved our drums out like 25 metres, performed not too long, and then all went back to relax. Next performance was at 11 so we had a lot of time, muhahaha.
A couple of other people have fallen ill too 
Get well soon Yong Qiang, Elisa, Verena!
Now that all the fun is over, o levels are just round the corner. Feeling a little scared already. Ahhhhh, okay I have to study now
When my sticks still had fire
Anyway so it’s been a pretty long time since I last blogged. Prelims are finally over, and I wanted to so-called just let it all out for this F1 weekend! Who knew I was going to fall sick with stomach flu :/ It’s such a pity. However, I know that I will be well by tomorrow by God’s grace
Before I reveal anything else, I just want to talk about my first day of the F1 performances! It was a really really cool experience. Got our F1 tags WHICH we have to return at the end of the day >__> It’s still really cool though. It says
“BENJAMIN ONG YU XIANG
ENTERTAINMENT
STRIKEFORCE”
With my picture there So anyways, had to walk a really long distance to the venues, which prolly made me really tired. Felt feverish and sick even before reporting so I guess all the work done worsened my condition.
Played 2 times on friday, with the UDMs. Perhaps that worsened it even more. It’s probably my first time playing the UDMs with such a wonderful crowd.
On the last performance of the day, the ang-mohs were awesomely active. And they all hyped up the crowd Everyone was standing there and watching us play, it was cool man. After that they all kept saying ‘One More! One More!’ haha. Then came and hugged us and said we were awsome. Then took pictures, and then I felt even more sick. Really used up all my energy on that last performance. Just felt like getting an ambulance to send me home :/
Felt like puking, or even just lying on the ground and rest there. But then there was the hot shower which made things better Not to mention my beloved girlfriend who didn’t hesitate to take care of me. I love you dearest! <3
Awoke the next day to a lot of messages. Out of which half of them were from Ying Ying. She really cares a lot. Hehe, I feel so lucky
Thanks to all the people who prayed for me, and sent me messages saying good luck
Okay I’m quite tired, so I just want to end this here saying that I’m pretty sure I have stomach flu, cause all the symptoms tally. But there’s one thing that I am even more certain of, that all of these happened for a reason. If I didn’t fall sick, I wouldn’t have known how much my friends cared for me, how much Ying Ying loves me, how much my sister cares for me to buy panadol, and how much my mum still loves me. I am indeed truly blessed to have people like these in my life.
Update! Okay, you guys might be wondering why I’m here blogging when I said that I wouldn’t touch the computer until the 24-25th of september. Well you see that’s when my prelims end and I didn’t know that I have a really long break until wednesday. So like today was CLB papers 1 and 2 which was a total waste of time! Then sat, sunday, monday is the hari raya holiday, and I don’t have any papers on tuesday. So that’s a long break
Soooo what have I been doing the past few days? Well basically studying and having practices. Mugged geog until pretty late at night, and I think I did pretty well for the paper which was on the next day Remembered most of my points, but then yes I did forget some of them. Whatever!
I guess that after today, I won’t be using the comp again. A day’s break is enough!
Feeling pretty psyched up for F1 Watching all the commercials and ads about F1 makes me happy. Cause like I know that I’m gonna be there HAHAHA. Though I don’t know how much exposure I will have in terms of whether I will be able to see the race or not. Heard my team performs at 11pm slots so… I hope we have free time to roam
Yup, soo was chosen to play the toms for F1. Wew, didn’t like it initially but then I guess everything has its reasons. These might be psychological obstacles in a way, but then I know and I know, that it allows me to see things from a different point of view AS WELL to not take the current things which I have for granted. In other words, I have learnt to be more thankful for the opportunities I mean like come onnnn I’m already in F1, and I’m playing the UDMs.
Yeah, Ben has also taught me on giving it best shot, no matter what you are called out to do. Hence, I shall give the performance my best shot, no matter what I’m playing I’m performing for God, not for the publicity Publicity can wait, God can provide it whenever He wants to.
Shopping for stuff later on, and Rochor Tau Huay! Not going to go out for too long though, planning to be home early
Sunday service, MTT, F1 practice. Uber long dayyyyyyy.

Proverbs 1:7
7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Finally get what it means.
In my own intepretation, I work from it backwards.
God communicates to us through many many different ways. For example, revelations, thoughts, dreams and visions. We do know that he is speaking to us, or rather we consider the possibility of Him doing so.
Hence, when fools despise wisdom and instruction, they often disobey what God tells them. They do not want to follow God’s instructions. Why? There are many reasons.
Now, wisdom is never associated with ‘fools’. A fool can never be wise. You don’t hear people saying “listen to the fool! He is wise.” Instead, wisdom is often related to wise, or wisemen. Thus, the difference between a fool and a wiseman is that the wiseman will listen to God, whereas the fool doesn’t. Right?
Wisdom and knowledge, are similar. I pretty much believe that in the revelation I receieved, they are meant to be the same thing. Hence, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
Why fear of the Lord? Why do we fear God? Isn’t he a loving father? To me, God is almighty, He is the alpha and the omega right? God is able to do all things abundantly, and even things beyond our imagination. Things which we cannot even think about, He can do them all. God can bring forth life, He can bring forth death. He can create, He can destroy. I believe that once we understand this, we will see that with this, we do fear what God is able to do in our lives. Yes, God is often talked about how He will bless us, how He cares for us, and how He sent Jesus to die on the cross for us. But God did kill people too in the old testament, He can send us to hell.
I guess when we see what God is capable of, we are often afraid of sinning, in a sense. Well that’s my perspection of it anyway.
So when we fear God, we tend to be more discpline towards Him. As God only wants the best for us, what He has planned for us is for our own benefit. God will guide us through our lives, He won’t let us go through it alone But many people misunderstand this. God does not leave us in the lurch to fend for our own problems, He is there, you just have to wait upon Him Yes, so the fools/foolish people are the ones who don’t trust in God, who don’t want to follow his instructions.
Matthew 7:13
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because[a] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
God’s plan for us is to go through the narrow gate, which is “difficult” but it leads to life! The wide gate… well you know what happens
Hence, the fools do not want to go through the narrow way because it is harder to pass, as compared to the broad way.
Stop being a fool today, it’s time to get wise.
Bad mood now.
I feel like I can kill someone.
Learning to lift up to my Lord. He takes away all troubles and gives me a peace of mind
Love you God.
