Hipster Rapunzel is heeepstuh. I couldnt resist stealing it (her?) off Tumblr, shes pretty cute no? HAHA anyways hey guys, havent been blogging in 2 months and wow time sure passes by hasnt it? 2012 has so far been okay for me, not the best start of a year but it HAS been a month full of learning for me at least.
Mmm I dont know where to start or what to blog, seems like i've lost my touch in everything from being layzeeee. Camera has been idling under my awesome-possum shelf, nothing has been done with my car, my fixie is still uh... not yet fixed, but I lost 4KG's magically. Oh yey! :D
I've started reading the bible ! Omg Ian isn't Ian anymore. Well 2 days ago I decided to start reading the book of Proverbs, starting at 3am I didnt expect to read much but I ended up doing 20 Chapters LULZ. #Randomfactaboutme I love reading when I have the mood to.
So I think i'll start this post with a review of what i've read? :)
KAYS, Proverbs is well, a book of proverbs. Its supposed to be advice in life to help people make WISE choices. Wisdom = Using knowledge and experience with common sense & insight. One thing notable about Proverbs is that it can be applied to both Christians & Non-christians as this is about wisdom! However it might be hard to understand as this was written during the BC era, so it has to be interpreted to a modern meaning.
So some proverbs that were more noteable for me were:
1. Proverbs 2:9-10 Honor the Lord with your wealth with firstfruits of all your crops; then your bars will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

This means always remember to give back to God whatever he has blessed you with, noted in the bible somewhere, is said to be 10%. Will get back on that when I read more! Its not an offering of wealth, more of an offering of respect? It shows that we appreciate what has been blessed to us.
2. Proverbs 2:11-12 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke; because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
2. Proverbs 2:11-12 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent his rebuke; because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Generally I think this is pretty simple to understand, but it must be examined in depth as well. God disciplines us by allowing problems or 'calamities' in our lives, but in that calamity is a lesson learned. I was a smoker last year, I've always known smoking wasnt good but I didnt stop. Anyways God did something about that, I have this ODD sideffect to smoking: anger. I got super angry last year and tada, I instantly lost a group of buddies. At first I was devastated at what i'd done, however looking back its not really much of a loss. Out of that whole group only a certain few actually bothered for me to stop smoking, or even bothering to overlook why I was angry and get to the source of the problem. Needless to say I was 'disciplined' by God, God is showing me that smoking is bad, and I shouldnt mix with people that have an IDGAF attitude.
3. Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when its in your power to act.
Simple, if you can help someone in need now with minimal effort, why wait? Hence I really like this verse as I really like helping people in small things. Advice on cars, clothes, polishing or restoring something small, cooking even maybe? Have yet to try that :D.
4. Proverbs 6:3 Then do this my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbour's hands: Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbour!
Basically its just a verse saying, if you've done wrong, apologize! Its simple, and it shows that you admit your mistake. I screwed up pretty bad last year, so again this verse applies to my life.
5. Proverbs 11:13 A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.
Silly me. Again another verse that shows my stupidity.
6. Proverbs 11:28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
I think its about learning to trust God, but really la. Trusting in money nowadays is... shaky. Its not stupid dont get me wrong, but how long more will the world's economy stay the same? I'll rely on it, not pull all my trust, hopes & dreams into it. If I lost my money i'd lose my 'life'.
7. Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
Its a complicated way of saying, those that are humble enough to change for the better will benefit more from being humble, unlike those who are proud thinking their own ways are correct, are stupid. Why? Simple really. Were human, if you think your own thoughts are right, why do you think there are rules, laws, and such? Ponder on that.
8. Proverbs 14:7 Stay away from a foolish man, for you will not find knowledge on his lips.
Stay away from fools, what can you gain out of them? The definition of fools are ALL over Proverbs, if you're curious but dont own a bible I think there are online bibles where you can just read it for fun :B.
9. Proverbs 16:4-5 The Lord works out everything for his own ends- even the wicked for a day of disaster. The Lords detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.
This verse scares me, it shows that God actually CAUSES misfortune to people that are wicked and proud. Wicked I can understand, but pride? I guess its something to do about people who are too proud to admit their mistakes, a.k.a one of the descriptions of fools in the bible... need to get into this moarrrrr. It also makes me happy, knowing that at least bad people will get punished one way or another and I dont have to even bother :).
10. Proverbs 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.
Protection. Thats what this verse oozes, God will take care of you if you're good in his eyes I guess?

11. Proverbs 16:22 Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools.
Folly: Its meaning is acts of stupidity. For people who play all night, sleep all day, have that " Dont care la" attitude about anything, you've been warned. It will have an effect on your life one way or another. I have the fear that i'm going to screw up again so I dont want to do acts of 'folly' anymore. Or as little as possible, life is all about balance yeshhh? :3
12. Proverbs 17:5 He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.
Im guessing this verse is the fact that God doesnt like people who have no pity to people, if you've been blessed, bless people! Dont be cocky and think your riches can never be taken away :).
13. Proverbs 17:9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
We all should be forgiving, cause it gives everything a second chance. Fools however, repeat the problem and seperate friendship. Simple!
14. Proverbs 19:29 Penalties are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
So again, assurance for the people who have been put down. There will be some sort of punishment waiting for you, trust me. I got mine :). Those that look down on me & made fun of me, or even you who ever is reading this, they will get their own problems someday.
15. Proverbs 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
Sadly to say, i've fallen into this category before and i'm paying the price now everyday of my holidays, but its okay. It goes both ways :B. People who gossip, nobody trusts them and nobody likes people who cant be trusted. So... hoho. Gonna be much quieter this year.
I need moar wisdom from God needless to say, i'm only human. Read ALL the bible!

Okay enough bible-y stuff! Moarrrrrrzzz on muhself yo! I've bought jogging pants! Hopefully I can lose a tad more weight before college so I can get my swag on ;). I need a jogging/more to walking buddy, hopefully I can think of someone :O.
Chinese new year was preeeetty awesome for me! Finally met up with my cousins in Singapore, grandparents, and other relatives. Difference this year was that I actually flew down with the family instead of driving down, and oh God plane flights the only thing I love is the takeoff. Why? It's feels like a giant turbo kicking in HAHAHA :p. Anyways its good to reunite with my cousin, miss chatting with her. Didnt have much energy that day, so I was actually nodding off in Singapore...
And oh my gawd the vans they have there are so nice <3. Vans california reissue oil green canvas (what a name), I really wanted that but my mum said: " You've already got 5 pairs of shoes, why you need more?" Sien. No reason. I just shut up and left the shoez :'(.
Mmmm and the most annoying thing about visiting. "Ian you so handsome and tall now, you dating ah?"
"No aunty, not dating anyone yet la heh."
I dont hate answering that, but really... is quite frustrating sometimes to elaborate why im not dating even though I look absoloutely fab to the auntiez. I really havent fallen in 'love' with anyone since the starting of my second form 4, and really besides her I cant find anyone else that give's me that warm fuzzy feeling of being stupidly in love.
IDK why. It's just weird -__- , and after last year i've become even more emotionally dead. Walking in malls looking at random girls I just get bored. so. so. bored.
I think really the only way i'm going to ever start dating is if I ever cross paths with a girl that has the traits of a God loving mother, can make me laugh, and actually pursues me as much as i'd love to pursue her back... physically I dont have any criteria's whatsoever, as long as she's decent height and doesnt look like a truck.
So why haven't I bothered with dating aunty? Mmm. There you go. If I have to do majoritiy of the chasing, i'll only chase that special someone when I have a job and I intend to marry my last girlfriend :). Third time's the charm? Maybe. Lets see how 2012 goes!
Oh and i'm FINALLY going for my first trackday! Going with the lovely people from 4G1series peeps yo :). They're a bunch of 4G1-engined enthusiasts who know their way around a proton like a... mmm. brain surgeon knows his way around a brain :D. Friendly enough to invite me for trackday & even lend me a helmet, how can I say no? Feel free to sign up to their forum! Im sure they'll love the extra members :D.
Oh God its 6AM.
Err. Yes so thats an update on how i've been! See y'all around :3.
