| You scored as Psychology/Sociology. You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Psychology, Sociology, or related majors (e.g., Counseling, Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology, Social Work, or other social science majors). It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Psychology and Sociology are both great minors to add to any major. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

Being Twenty-two
My birthday has always been right smacked during the period of "exam hell" for every year of my life, save my toddler and kindergarten years. And army too. But that's insignificant, because I can't recall any of my childhood years (save Andrew getting all the attention from people so I get to be alone and hon my imagination), and I never did use my brain during my army days anyway. This year is no different. Two big papers on my birthday, giving me a mighty brain strain and headache by the end of the afternoon.
Seriously, I not one to celebrate my birthday. I dun really like having to stand with a cake (that I'll probably feel guilty eating) in front of me while people sing songs and take photos. I also don't really like presents, but I'll really like to thank all you people who remembered and took out time and money to get them for me! I'm going to tribute this blog to all the nice gifts my friends and family got me.
1. 4GB Thumbdrive
Courtesy of my dad. I never even knew something like that could exist. Wow. I can even play WC3 on another computer without even installing the game on it. It's like bringing a mini hard disk everywhere I go. Uber cool... Dota anyone? Wait, my exam over first.
2. Giant Zinc Haversack
From Andrew and Nicholas. I honestly didn't know I looked so ugly with that green sling bag or my Toshiba laptop bag. But it's really cool. I needed a new "big bag" anyway, just in case I decide to go overseas. Sometimes you dun know you need something until people give it to you. Sometimes.
3. "Tomato Juice" Lava Lamp
Another one of the joint presents from my darling brothers. Thanks to the Sims, we've all agreed that lava lamps are uber sexy items and must-haves when we move out. Red is a nice color, but somehow it looks really weird next to the slow cooker. Also makes the area of the house light up like a Buddhist altar at night when the lights are off. *Remembers Po Po's old house* Shudders.
4. Twistball
Last present from my brothers. I still haven't used it yet because I dunno how to, think it's kinda wasted on me, and I want to get my laptop bag first. Haha... Thus, no evaluation to give at the moment.
5. Christian Shirt
Present from Matthew Yong. I think he thinks I'm fat, because he got me an L-sized shirt. And he also got Simon and Jason L-sized shirts. Haha... Actually, we all fit in M sized shirts. Thanks for the present anyway!
Well, that's all about it. If you gave me something and I didn't list it here, please please please let me know. Oh, and you might be wondering why Gina didn't get me anything. That's cause I told her not to. Haha... And I'm a guy if my blog design gave you the wrong idea. I dun say "dun get me present ah" and secretly hope that you do. Haha... Now that difference between guys and girls is funny.
I don't actually feel different or older. Maybe that's because all these years of studying in JC and army has been really lethargic years. And studying in university is so much more fun. Studying Sociology, learning Japanese, having pretty girls all around me... (Probably the latter has the greatest effect) But it's cool. Now I either go around analyzing people's behavior, talk to myself in Japanese, or... I prefer not to mention the last one. LoLz...
今勉強しますから、ブロ一ギングの書く時間がありません。これから、お休みなさい。(Because I'm studying at the moment, there isn't much time for me to blog anymore. From now onwards, goodnight!)
*I should probably use Japanese more often. If you happen to be reading this, and you are a pretty, hot babe, I will become your sensei for free. Muahaha...

A Deserving Salute
For all those who are struggling with life's troubles, you know who you are. This post is a tribute to you.
The closer you try to get to God, the more problems you will face. Really. But keep that smile up. Don't let the devil know that you are depressed. Why? Because you aren't. The Bible says, "The joy of Lord is my strength." And for those of you, let me tell you something. The Lord is smiling down on you.
Sounds kinda sadistic right? Your family is giving you big problems. Your dad is acting funny. Your mum doesn't seem to care. Your siblings depend on you for moral support, or have probably given up too. Your friends are acting weird. They seem to be so superficial, so unreal. Your teachers also seem blind to your troubles. Your grades are falling faster than an elephant dropped from a plane. Church sermons don't seem to speak to your heart. Youth services would be seemingly perfect if not for the obvious gloomy cloud hanging over your head even when you try to smile. And worst of all, you trust that God hears your prayers, but for some reason of another, He doesn't seem to be listening.
The prophets that Elijah killed seem to have resurrected. And this time you go first. You pray, but nothing happens. You shout, but nothing happens too. You scream, and they laugh at you. Your tears are falling fast, but there's still no fire from Heaven. You even cut yourself, and your blood spills to the ground. Still nothing. It's their turn. And their arrogant faces look at you haughtily, before they snap their fingers. Suddenly, you seem to see a distant spark like a fireball far away descending down on the sacrifice. You're doomed.
You know you've been praying regularly, worshiping with all your heart, and have placed all your trust in God. You've tried to discipline yourself to do QT and more, and there was even once you felt like you've gotten closer to God. Closer, and closer. You decide to make a commitment to Jesus despite all the opposition around you. And you knew it was the right choice.
Well, the devil is not happy you know. He doesn't like to see people coming to God. Especially those dedicated to him by their parents. And he's striking back. Don't be afraid. Smile always. Let him know that there's nothing he can do to separate you from Jesus.
I see you. For some of you, I even know you. I feel your pain, but I honestly cannot say I understand it completely. But I do know what it is like to feel left out by God. I know what is it like to say, "God, where are you when I need you most?" For those of you feeling this way, there's a poem called "Footprints in the Sand". It was just a cute, lovely poem to me when I was younger, but the moment I decided to dedicate my life to Christ, this poem was my life.
For those of you out there suffering for the sake of Christ, I salute you. For those of you who have been suffering from day one, hang on there. Keep on praying. An entire encampment of angels is watching over you. No evil spirit can harm a prince/princess of the Kingdom of Heaven. They will try, but they will eventually fail. I can't wait to see the amount of decorations and medals you will have on the Last Day.
Lastly, I'm proud of you. And I'm sure God is too. A lifetime on earth is a mere second compared to His everlasting promise. You can do it. I know you can. After all, it is God whose hands are holding you. And when it's all over, let them know that you did it so that they will see the path to salvation.

Gridiron Gang or Whitewashed Wussies?
I just watched Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson star in the movie "Gridiron Gang". It's a fantastic movie, arguably the best I've watched for a long time. (The last "best" movie I watched was "The Shawshank Redemption" back in the last century, that's how long) It is a beautifully inspirational movie so moving that by just watching it as a 3rd party I actually wanted to be someone like that, a counsellor for the boys who really need somebody in life.
If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend that you do. But for the benefit of those who cannot afford to do so whatever the reasons, let me summarize the movie a little. "Gridiron Gang" is about a counsellor and disciplinarian in a juvenile home who, with the help and advice of his mother, begins to start a football team in order to built unity and esteem among the boys who are sent there. He encounters many problems and obstacles, but his determination finally gives the team an opportunity to play with the other high school teams. They go through a number of losing games and the team is just about to give up hope on one another before they finally work it out among themselves and soon they get on a winning streak with a few other significant events to bond them even closer.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is already a famous figure due to his wrestling career and his acting skills are an additional reason to why he is also popular as an actor. He is extremely inspirational in this movie and really garners the respect of the delinquents sent there. Despite losing and facing really tough obstacles, he maneuveurs the team to success, and their victory brings tears to the eyes of viewers. Even Gina was cheering the team on every match throughout the movie!
Sometimes such movies bring memories and dreams back to me. I've always wanted to be someone inspiring, someone who can encourage and bring out the best in people. I've considered being a counsellor, pastor, teacher and psychologist, but somehow my studies don't seem driven towards those careers. But it is so heart-warming to give people hope and let them know that there is a meaning to life, to let them feel that they can contribute something and that someone out there loves them and depends on them. I don't want to be someone who sits in the office and deal with monetary issues all day, nor do I want to be building tall skyscrapers. I don't want to sit in a lab and do research all day, nor do I want to meet people and sell them products I don't believe in.
I want to make a change in people's life. An impact they will never forget. THAT is life. THAT is love.
P.S. Go watch Gridiron Gang. You won't regret it. And you don't have to understand American Football to know what the hell's going on.

Faith Works Wonders, Trust Me
I hope the new year is going great for you people out there. Doesn't seem like a new year to me... Probably because I haven't started school yet. Actually school starts tomorrow, or should I say, today.
Didn't do too well last semester. Well, not THAT bad... I should be happy given the amount of study I put in. But it's kinda tough when you see so many people close to you getting a cap of 4.9 or 4.5 out of 5. Absolutely disgusting. Haha... But yes, I should count my blessings indeed. And no, I won't post my cap on my blog. If you want to know, come ask me. And I only do exchanges. Haha...
Will be taking a good number of weird modules this semester. Something on Einstein's Theory of Quantum Weirdness, Japanese Social Institutions, Social Research and Theory, Singapore Society and Japanese Language 2. Yes, they sound really boring. I hope I don't get turned off and fall asleep too soon. At least not till midterm.... Please please please...
Anyway, I think I've gotten fat during the holidays. I've asked people and they don't think so. But I think we know ourselves better larZ... When the fat starts hitting in... People don't see doesn't mean it don't exist. (Metrosexual rating for this paragraph is 9.9/10. Normal Victor is 3.5/10)
Anyway, was talking to the church guys during the sharing in the youth service. I meant every word when I said that God really can do miracles. That faith in His power brings out the very best in us. Why not? Given that it was Him who created you, surely He knows you better than you know yourself! However, the pride of Man has been his downfall. Man refuses to rely on what he cannot see (eg. God), and to put his trust in the things that he can (eg. himself). But we have heard testimonies from Christians all over the world testifying to the power of God to turn situations 180 degress around! Why then aren't we believing? The Bible says that those who see God and believe are blessed, but those who do not see God and believe are even more blessed! Come on! Don't ever let the devil blind you to such truths! He wants to plant seeds of doubt into your mind! Push him out and let God reign in your heart. Trust me, and let God work in your life. It's life-changing. I cannot emphasize it more. It truly is life-changing.
Anyway thanks for the compliment on the worship last Sunday David. I'm sure the band will improve even more in the long term, but as long as everyone felt God's presence during the worship I am 100% satisfied. Personally I enjoyed it so much I didn't really care about whether the music was good or not. What comes first is that God was honored and glorified, and that the youths slowly pick up the fact that during worship, God is watching you and His view of you is more important than that of your friends around you. That worship means you behave the way you do because you love God and not as others expect you to be. I believe that praise and worship can be so fun that we can do it forever when we are in heaven. I've felt that "high" during worship services before, and I think some of you have felt it too.
I sure can't wait to go to Heaven... =) But I'll stay here as long as you want me too Lord.
