Clearing the cobwebs

Hey all! Wow! 3 years ever since I last posted on this blog and I'm personally proud of how far I've come. Recently, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, one out of a few Autism Spectrum Disorders ( ASD ) and it gave me answers and reasons as to why I am the way I am. So to clearly see this, here's a brief summary of the highlights over the 3 years or so:

2014: A year of growing

This also happened to be the last time I posted ( If you had made the calculations you would know ). During this year, I had gotten into a trouble with a few friends, experienced my dark side, which no one had ever seen before, and went through a period I have come to call "The 5-month Rage" period. This also happened to be the year where I found out I had imaginary friends ( In the field of Asperger's syndrome, this is actually a coping mechanism ).

2015-2016: N levels and a mentor

In 2015, I had met a new friend called Eddie at a Church Camp that I was invited to by another friend of mine from school. With a common passion for missions and public evangelism, we decided to meet up once a month for fellowship. We still are and its just awesome to see how God has used both of us to build each other up. 2016 was the year I had my N levels. Little did I expect that I would get 11 points for Ns. I was aiming for at least 19 points ( Which was the minimum to get into secondary 5 ). I really thank God for that.

2017 ( Now ):
With O levels just around the corner, I'm pumped to finish it ( with my best ) and move on to see what's in store for me. In time, I plan to use this blog more regularly and share with you fellow bloggers and readers more about myself ( other things like location and all =P ), about who I am and the things I do on a daily basis! See ya!

A totally new beginning...

Hmmm... where to start? Ok with the year 2013 gone and with 2014 under way, things have changed... alot of things. First off, school. a little rearranging in classes, I have ended in a class full of gangster-like students. But I'm also grateful that I'm still in normal academic even though I didn't have an easy time in secondary 1 so I thank the lord for that. Second, after 2013, I've grown as a christian and now feel alot more assured that God has been there with me in times of need and I know he is with me any where I go. As much as I got to experience all this, for the first time ever, I have gone to 2 youth camps within 8 days and I am proud to say that I have left both camps with a stronger faith in God. After the 2 camps, I finally came to the conclusion that I was going to make a revival in my school. That my school will grow more in the christian faith, that I would press on to see that revival happen. I wasn't going back to school saying "Well back to the same old school... nothing has changed... its all the same...". No! No more of that. I couldn't stand the fact that my school is a christian school and there are pupils still saying "oh my ***" or talking about vulgarities or pornography or racism. Enough is enough people! Its time for a change...  No more of this. Other then that, I found out more about myself as well. I realised that I have a more active imagination listening to music and get a bit emotional at the same time. I also realised that I have a dark personality which is frightening but only appears when I'm pissed or angry. The only thing I would pray for now is that 2014 will be a time for a revival in the christian faith... that's really my main prayer for the year. happy 2014 to all my viewers.

a furniture that lies

Now some of you might be thinking "How can furniture lie to you? It can't even speak.". True. But this particular piece of furniture doesn't need a mouth to lie. The mirror. Yep. This lying piece of furniture is probably the best white liar you will ever find. Why? If you have heard the phrase 'never judge a book by its cover', then the following will make alot of sense. If not, then you've probably only read the books with attractive covers. First of, most christians would agree that the body is God's temple and that we need to treat our body with respect. But in human and supernatural terms, the body is just a shell that the spirits (us) are 'contained' in till their time on earth is up. This is probably one of the biggest lies that.... not many people have yet to spot. This is why I never look in the mirror that often cause I know by doing so, the mirror is going to get the chance to tell me "This is who you are!" which I know that it's not true. This brings me on to the next lie that the mirror tells us and this is probably the most common lie the mirror has to offer. In this generation, people want to look good, look smart, look attractive. Well if this is you, I've only got one thing to say to you, " Who cares?!" So what if you are handsome, sexy, buff, cute or good-looking?! If you're a devil on the inside but an angel on the out, then your devil has already won. But if you are concern on how you are, how you act towards others, I respect you very, very much.

Things have changed....

After I went for a church conference with my youth group, there a few things that changed... First of all,  songs that your average teen would listen to(e.g. J.B., Selena gomez etc), I can't seem to get myself to listen to it. Well, not that I want to. It's just that every time I try to listen to it, I seem to refuse and I put my headphones away. And after that conference I felt different... like something totally changed in me. For example, every time I try to play violent games( and by violent I don't mean blood and gore), I hesitate. And things that I don't usually enjoy doing such as extra revision, I do it! I feel as though that I'm not me(although, not to brag or anything but the calm and mostly well behaved side of me is still there. Which is still good.). I even set goals for myself now which is something I don't do at all! Ok you're probably thinking" But Zach, this is good for you..." and my friends in school " Wha! Zach such a mature boy. Steady Ah!!". Although I,m to sure what my friends in church will say. But I guess this is good... I mean every parent will expect this from their kids right?.... right?....

patience

I will be dedicating this post to older kids with younger siblings and parents. To older kids; we need to be more patient with our siblings and I'm directing this to older boys with younger sisters. My mum always told me "You cannot hit girls even though they attack you..."( and between us boys i fine this quite unfair to older brothers with parents who don't deal with their younger ones). If our siblings bully us older kids either for the fun of it or to get something from us....we..... tell our parents!!!! =). Ok sounds pretty immature.... when I say it at least. And if really this doesn't work, we just have to discipline ourselves and be patient with them. There is a verse in the bible which tells us that God gave us more than one chance and he had alot of patience. So i took his example and this really helps. There was less fighting in the house and i thank God for that. Now for the parents; when you're kid does something wrong, don't shout and scold them before asking them what happened ( learnt from experience ) for this might cause the bond with your kid to go sour and since kids don't have the control to scold their parents, this will just be as bad. And don't ask me how i know this. I've seen parents hit the ceiling at their kids for the wrong reasons. And besides scolding them.... ok the rest is for the parents that really don't know this. Talk to you're kids and maybe get some life lesson out it so that they may not do it again but teach the next generation of children.

Sacrifice

"So do you want to go to Malaysia or B.B. camp?" my mother ask me as she was filling in the form for the church camp. "Alright... I'll go for B.B. camp..." I grumbled. today my parents and my 2 sisters were going for Church camp in Malaysia and I too wanted to go for it. but because B.B. camp clashed with Church camp, I chose B.B. instead(although I'm not to sure if the camp was compulsory( forgive me if i spelled the word wrongly)). Little did I know that joining B.B. would take away oppurtunities like going for Church camp(which I have already missed twice). But it also thought me to choose between choices. Both camps were beneficial to me and I knew I could only choose 1(although cloning myself isn't a bad idea at all... that's if I can of coures). But at the same time, I had to choose which one I had to attend and one that was something i could only do once in my life. And its not that I'm accusing the B.B. or anything. It's just something I've been really wanting to do. But as much as I would like to go, that B.B. camp would only come once in a life time(even if i really didn't want to go). I'm not being forced to go to that camp. I'm not being demanded to go that camp. It's just a sacrifise...
