Look at this guy!!!

He's George Sampson, the winner of Britain's got talent 2008.

whenever i watch the britain's got talent videos about him i just start crying uncontrollably. Seriously, i can't help it. George's life story is super touching. He comes from manchester and used to dance along the streets to raise money for lessons and petrol for his mum to drive him to school.He actually took part in britain's got talent 2007 when he was 13 then but got kicked out just before the semi-finals, however, this just motivated him more and he went on to take part in Britain's got talent 2008 when he was 14. despite having a rare spinal condition that caused him to go blind in one eye before, this did'nt stop him from continuing to dance.

A lot of people said that he won the competition due to pity but i don't think so. I think that he really deserved to win because he is really AWESOME and humble, not like other contestants that proclaim on the stage that they are confident of winning. he basically used his winning as a testimony for other poor people, to follow their dreams no matter what other people would say.

This has caused me to reflect on my life... why can't i be like george and perservere on in the things i do... i realise that it's because i'm always scared of failure, like the singapore youth choir auditions. my mum and i have been practically been talking about since i could sing which was about when i was one. choir has been my life even before i was born as my mum had a lot of choir performances while being pregnant with me.

However, the thing i'm scared about is not the comittment i would have to make if i got into the singapore youth choir... it's the fear of not getting through the auditions.... Why can't i be like george sampson, just going out to do my best and not being scared of failure..... calm down angeline, don't panic, failure is just a stepping stone to success, the more experince you've had with failure, the closer you'll get closer to success.

Like George, i hope that i'll be able to succeed one day, in the way God has planned for me.

Dear God,

i'm crying out to you for help!!!!!!!!!!

please help me to overcome my fear of failure.

please direct my path in the right way so that the things i do will be according to your will.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!!!

hellooo earth people, i'm in the jobs db office now on work attachment and i'm starting to regret choosing local service learning!!!!! Seriously, there's nothing to do here except sit in front of the computer and do nothing because youtube is banned so i can't watch more george sampson or connie talbot or andrew johnston.. *sigh* there's no life in this place... the other office people keep telling us to do our own things and saying that they'll come back to us but they never do. and the guy in charge of us is always having a meeting. the worst thing is that we can't leave this small, suffocating office until lunch hour which is in an hour's time!!!!! this is killing me!!! I think that the only good thing about this work attachment is that they are paying us $25 a day
so it'll be $125 this week!!!!!!!! but guess what, they are letting the school handle the money which obviously means that we can only dream about it now because____ will say that we actually were'nt supposed to receive any money and the money will be used for more lights or something . And its freezing here like crazy!!!!! another one degree lower and i'll turn into an ice cube... Priscilla lim the class chairman who was supposed to be here with me pulled out suddenly to go to a law firm and she asked me to pull out to, but if i pull out, i'll have no where else to go except my uncle's childcare centre. I'm dying of boredom here and the ridiculous thing is that when priscilla pulled out, i left as the only girl in the group.. *double sigh* the other guys are like playing computer games on the computer. Fortunately or unfortunately, they found some websites that the company hasn't banned!! seriously, they are like addicted to the computer, they have been playing for like 3 hours non-stop. Its madness watching them.
i miss tiffany like crazy!!!!!!!!!!! i hope she's safe in cambodia... she's coming back on friday and i'm ending my work attachment on friday too!!!!! YAY!! wishing she was here with me. i miss all the rubbish talks and luaghing with you for 1 hour non-stop (our latest record- i timed it) haha.. :)
i actually told tiffany that i wanted to hide in her suitcase with her to cambodia but then she would be arrested when i was found out .... haha . i never expected tiffany to continously read nornat's blog and update me about her. Nornat is scaring me to death with all her ailments.... haha:D i remebered the time in a maths lesson when tiffanee was telling me about what she saw on nornat's blog... something about some sickness she had and tiffany actually researched on it and found all the possible sicknesses she might have had. haha:) Actually, i really notice the differance in nornat after she has been attending church regularly. The drastic changed in her is a testimony of what God can do in your life when you accept Christ into your life.. anyway, i'll definitely visit you when you go for your operation in june... haha i'll visit you every day you are in the hospital..
uh oh the boss is coming in so i'd better stop now. So that's all for now.
