Girls, Are You Growing???


HAHAHA OMG THE FUNNIEST TITLE, HAHAHAH :D
Hmm, I just went for some Youth Acheivers Forum at BukitView Secondary yesterday. I must say it was really boring, with the countless number of yawns, moans and groans injected in by my friends and I. I was missing the class Biology trip to SungeiBuloh with ACS(B) guys. It was a waste of time at the Youth Acheivers Forum, although I must say that I brought back some insightful advice.

There were many guests speakers, people who were considered Youth Acheivers, and had been nominated for the Shine Award. There was a talk-show held by the school for the 5 invited guest speakers (inanely boring, which I actually paid attention to), and they spoke about what they thought were Youth Acheivers and how we had to make that first step. One speaker, Roy Tan- a sailor, made the Singapore Guinness Book of Records for being the youngest, at age 15, to get an Olympic Gold Medal. He had faced objection from his mother, when he wanted to sail. But mostly importantly, what he said, was to balance out time, and do excellently for both.
Most of the speakers spoke of starting out young, and following your dreams. We supposedly have more time when we're young, haha.
The one question that was running through my head when they were doing their talks and everything, "Do I have enough time?"
Actually, what can I afford to throw away and make time? Everything seems to be controlled by school, and time isn't exactly on my hands. Over this period of time, I have seen exactly why at times, my parents hold me back from participating in competitions, or concerts/functions. Ultimately, it has given me more time and allows me to do things that I need to do, and wouldn't have been able to do if I had attended whatsoever.
Recently, things have started getting even more hectic. With all the extra practise, rehearsals and time I need to put in for my violin exam, my piano exam, the upcoming National Day Celebration being held for my school, and even the China student coming over to stay at my house, I haven't been granted the extra time for God. My mother even asked me if I had enough time to give to God. She asked me if I was growing in God's word.
Hard to answer, hurhur! I had no idea what to say. Am I growing?
I'm going to have to miss increasingly more of cell, more of church, more of my time with God. So will I still be growing? Will I still be able to grow despite the problems and time constraints?
I still have no idea how to answer that question, so I'd say that this post is more a questioning post.
Am I growing?

I thought he was!
That means either
1) I heard wrongly,
2) My friend told me wrongly,
OR
3) THEY WERE LYING TO ME.
Okay I pick 1.

You guys going through have hallatosis breath because of old rotten teeth? I'm sure you do that's why alot of you are always on the internet. lol looking for sedatives and cash because you need dental work. anyway, i'm not selling anything or anything but i do want to encourage everyone to look up veneers. google it or find it somewher or ask your dentist. it is the freaking best thing the world.

all that tasty and delicious candy that those evil mad scientists at mars got you betrayed you and got your whole family running around looking like the wicked witches and wizards of the west.

You go to the denstist and get a cleaning but what the hell is that going to do? You've got caved in teeth, appalachan mountain teeth, rocky mountain teeth, and general crackhead related teeth.

It's rough on you I know but it's true. I used to be the same way. I did happen to spend a couple g's on some veneers in atlanta ga (google it if you're not from the US). Now I do shine a clean smile on every occasion i meet a face, in abstract to the past where it's hide the smile! But anyway some of you might definitely need to undergo such a process.

In addition to that, it's a great way to continue the veneer industry and make sure we have motivated dentists to come up with new innovative ways to fix our teeth. veneers is a big step over gold and silver teeth replacements which are gaudy and look crazy.
