Once a upon a time there was a man who fell over the edge of a cliff. But as he was falling, by a stroke of luck, the man managed to get hold of the out-sticking roots of a tree trunk. And there he was, dangling in the air with nobody up there to help him and hundreds of metres down only a bottom of rock. In his desperate situation he began to pray:
"God, oh God, help me!"
And God replied "Yes, here I am. What can I do for you?"
"O God, please help me, save me please!"
"All right!" said God, "but first I have a question to ask. Do you really believe in me?"
"O yes, Lord, yes of course! Why else should I pray? You are my saviour, you are my rock, you are my rescue!"
"All right!" said God, "In that case I will save you... Well then, LET GO!!"
"What do you mean 'Let Go!'" said the man.
"Well, let go!" said God, "Don't worry. I will carry you all the way. but I cannot help you if you do not let go."
Then the man cried out: "Is there not another saviour up there?"

A free-thinker once said to a catholic: "The saving power of your Jesus Christ has failed. The world is still the same." Whereupon the catholic replied: "No, it is much and much worse. Until now Christ's saving power has not even been tried."

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you.

Some news...

I just learnt over the weekend that the last grand-uncle on my father's side had passed on. We weren't that close when he was alive, but i do recall him being a jolly old chap who was always ready with a smile... as far as grand-uncles go, he's the closest one we had. And of course he lived in malaysia which gave us a perfect excuse for a weekend trip up the causeway, far from the hustle and bustle of maniacal singapore. Another shocking piece of news i heard last week in fact was, me best pal's dad seems to be suffering from dementia. i hope he gets better soon cos i know everyone's worried and imagine the pressure on the family! after hearing that, i've been praying every night that my parents remain healthy and happy, especially during this period when i'm away from home. The 3rd piece of shock i had was that friend X and friend Y have gotten together. both of them are my college mates. BUT friend X was with friend A at that time, and friend Y was w...
