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."

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
