Animals in Heaven?

Guess this might answer the question of millions of children in the world.....

"You care for people and animals alike O Lord..." Psalms 36:6b (NLT)

I only like 5 animals (cow, horse, frog, tortoise and duck). (horse is my all time favourite).(actually i quite like cow also).

the smallest parents in the world

I have the smallest parents in the world. They see to the smallest things in my life.

They make sure there's enough milk in the fridge for me to drink. (As you can see, milk is a big thing with me.)

My dad especially makes sure that everything in the house is functional. He runs errands for me as well, like buy parking coupons, send my laundry to the drycleaners, pays my bills and ensures there's air in my car tyres. (I never knew u had to pump them, I thought the air just remained and never left.) And he knows where the cheapest anything in the world is! So I can just ask him to buy. (Not just where to buy heh.) He also knows every place in Singapore so I can ask him for directions when I don't know! Although I drive, he still sends me around! Like to expo because the parking is so expensive and when I wanna return dvds I rent and don't wanna pay parking, he will drop me I will run up and when I come down he's still there!

My mum is the best mum in the world! Because she supports me in everything I do. If I'm going to have a party, she'll whip up the best dishes. When I'm stressed she'll feed me chicken essence with ginseng! When I look like I have bad skin she gives me bird's nest. And she feeds me fruits in the morning when we're driving to work. And I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but she helps me wrap birthday presents, because I cannot wrap to save my life.

I'm bad with the small things. Cos I either don't know about them or forget. Also, I like to dream about big things, like packing the stadium, aeroplanes.. stuff like that. So I'm not exactly a detailed person. Not that it's a good reason to be spoilt. Cos yeah, the above does make me sound very spoilt. But this is not my point! My point is that my parents are the best parents in the world! Because they love me and support me in everything that I do. They make me look good! I must learn to make them look good too! Then they can be the biggest parents in the world!

the cake shop across the road

Today, we celebrated my friend's birthday.

There's this new cake shop across the road which my mom told me about. And apparently they don't have very much business. You know the usual: Wah wonder how they're going to survive in such an ulu place. Where to find customers? But my mom also said that they're a christian cake shop. Because she saw this sign on the wall which said something about Jesus being the bread of life. And she spoke to the boy tending the shop and he said they close on sundays because it's the sabbath! So I decided to support them! I will be a customer!

(Just like the cafe next to it, when it first opened, I went there to eat. Then one day I saw this sign in the toilet, by the way, the toilet is super nice, if got chance I bring you. Anyway, I saw this sign in the toilet which read: ask and u shall be given. Wah! Christian toilet. So everytime I go eat there, I will say grace and then pray for God to bless them with business so they won't close down! The shops across the road have a habit of closing down. And I'm so happy that they have alot of business nowadays! There was one Saturday, I actually saw people queueing to get in to eat! Wah I was jumping around the house in joy! Do not be mistaken, I don't have a share.)

So for today's birthday celebration, I ordered a chocolate cake from across the road! And got it delivered on Saturday.

We had a simple birthday celebration today. We watched a dvd then we cut the cake and sang the birthday song. A random thought crossed my mind: Wah this is not very fun, especially not for a 13 year old birthday girl. But after cutting the cake, she actually said that she found the whole thing very heartwarming. And that she has never really celebrated her birthday like that before.

Wow. How foolish I was. So many times, we think that we need an extravagant display. Fireworks. A huge crowd for the party. A grand band. Stuff like that that will sweep people off their feet. But alot of times, what touches the heart cannot be perceived by the naked eye.

I also choose to believe that her heart was warmed because of the cake. If there's such a thing as an anointed cake, today we ate an anointed cake. Because it came from a shop which dares to be different. A shop that chooses to believe that Jesus came to give us the bread of life.

What I would appreciate in a guy...

1) Sincerely finds all my jokes funny. Because I really think that I'm very funny, just that not everybody thinks so.

2) He puts milk in the fridge. That shows he can take care of me, especially my bones.

3) Good sense of direction. If I've to direct him, I might as well drive?

4) Aspires towards communication without conversation in a relationship with me (no other human allowed.)

5) Likes to spend hours sitting in a car and staring at the sky waiting for a random aeroplane to fly by.

6) Ti3 tie1 (there's probably no appropriate translation in English but something along the lines of sweet by paying attention to the little details). For instance, refilling my supply of sweets in the car cos I often forget.

7) Can play many instruments and sing a million songs.


Of course, standard conditions apply. The above are just bonuses... :-)

tao ji ji

I like david tao because....

1) I think it's so cool to be able to merge God's passion with yr passion. God's passion is for men to know Him. David's passion is music. So, David makes God known through His music.

2) It's so hard to market God through commercial music because it may be a turn-off but David manages to draw people to God through His music. So amazing.

3) His hair covers his face. So mysterious. I like.

4) His voice is very powerful. Can sing anything and everything.

5) His music actually makes me happy. (Hua la la la la la....)

6) He's very funny. (Please refer to the lyrics of my anata and he wants a six-pack like Brad Pitt.)

7) He's very charming. Almost as charming as pastor khong, just not as charming.

8) He has this song about a butterfly which he says is about his relationship with God. And butterflies are special to me. Butterflies come from caterpillars!

9) He can play alot of instruments! So talented.

10) Ok lah, he's quite handsome. :-)

turn your eyes upon Jesus

Today I parked next to a very familiar car. When I got out of my car, I saw that the car number plate had the words " TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS." I thought it's so cool! I also want to put on my number plate!!

I thought it's cool because I envisaged this situation: one day I'll be driving in front of someone who desparately needs God and then when he looks in front the answer is so clear! TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS! Wah I can be a blessing to so many drivers! I must pray that that will happen!

However, now that I sit down properly and think about it, it is quite a 'courageous act'.

Imagine: this would bar me completely from reckless driving. I'm not allowed to be impatient on the road. I must ALWAYS give way, even to drivers who are rude and do not indicate. I cannot speed. I cannot anyhow cut people's lane. Must always be a polite driver. Wah doesn't sound very fun anymore.

But I think I will still ask the person how to get it on my number plate. After all, what's so bad about being a polite and safe driver?

What's in a baby?

I believe one of the reasons most people are so excited over babies is that a baby is a newborn. (Like duh?! Allow me to elaborate.) A newborn baby symbolizes a fresh start, a new beginning. Innocence and uncontamination (which most of us cannot profess to have.) A baby also represents a clean slate of hopes that have not led to disappointment, aspirations and dreams which have a lifetime to be fulfilled.

Most of us have gone through a number of years of living and along the way, we've picked up baggages of guilt, pain and disappointment. And I suppose many of us long for a fresh start. If only I could return to the year 1985, when I was a naughty little punk. I actually pulled the chair from under my grandmother and caused her to fall down. Why did I do that? I don't know. It was a moment of pure malice on my part. And this is the grandmother who brought me up and I deeply loved (she's since departed). Till this day I feel deeply repentant. I don't remember much of my childhood but I remember this. And I would like to go back to that fateful day just to rectify this mistake. I would gladly go through PSLE, O Levels, A Levels all over again.

A baby represents a perfect life, one that's not marred by mistakes and not scarred by other people's mistakes.

So for my dear friend whose baby was just born 2 days ago, I truly and sincerely pray that she will be spared the harsh rigours of this life but will always be clothed by the grace of Jesus. That her destiny will be committed to the Lord from day 1 for that's the only way she will be protected and kept safe. And as new parents, as my pastor said, by the time u get the hang of parenting your job is over. It's really on the job training and there's bound to be mistakes made along the way. So I pray that you will be blessed with great wisdom and understanding. And the source of this is a deep fear of the Lord. So may you always bring your dear daughter up in and with the fear of the Lord in your hearts. God bless your family.
