Today is 20 Aug 2008 David and i have been collecting $1 and $0.50 coins some months ago. We reckon that this is one of the best way to save money. Slightly more than 3 months, we managed to save up $450 plus. It is quite an achievement huh. This sum comes handy when Sze Chuan Single parent project comes along. We decided to donate what we have saved to this project. To cut the whole story short... I packed the coins into two bags - $1 coin mounted $360. $0.50 mounted $100. I took both bags with me to Tanjong Pagar market, wanting to change notes with a fruit seller. The auntie only wants to change $100. Ok, so i took the other bag of $360 back, planning to break those coins down into bags of $100 so that i can change over 3 days. It is more 'sell-able' this way. My colleague wanted to help me to change the remaining sum that i have with a florist this afternoon. During lunch, i took out the bag and re-count the money. To my horror, i have given the $360 bag in exchange for $10...

On our way to church this morning, i heard this very funny joke in Class95 by Flying Dutchman & Glenn Ong. I must say, they are really a good match! "Why do scuba divers fall backwards to get off the boat?" Guess what is the answer? (because... if they fall forward, they will fall into the boat!) I spent a good 1 min laughing at this joke. They are really good, it helps to chase away whatever blues you may have for the day and laughing is a good morning exercise! Do tune in if you may! (though sometimes it was quite lame, but the lameness will lighten you up) :) I reached office at 930am. While waiting for the lift that goes direc tly to the higher level of the building, i turned and saw an Indian lady stood outside a lift full of eager commuters, pointing her index finger upwards, as if asking whether the lift is going up. My first thought was... there is no basement in this building and for goodness sake, this is ground zero, no way you can go down, of course they are ...

I was very tired, but could not sleep last night (Must be the half cup coffee i consumed in the late afternoon).. I was mingling with my blogs and suddenly i have an urge to revamp my blog interface and fah-laa! what you see is what you get. By the time i decided on a blogskin and customized the scripting to my preference, it was about 5 in the morning already. Oh gosh! Coincidently, because of the new blogskin that i am very pleased with, i begin to re-read my past entries, and realised that my blog is 5 years old on 13 August 2008! 5 years for 150 entries, averaging each year 30, which means to say in a month i have blogged at least 2.5 posts. I thought not bad huh! (or not? hahaha) As i was reminiscing, i was quite surprised at some enteries i wrote... quite proud of myself. Hahaha. Where on earth i have those thoughts?? I thought i wrote better last time than now. Have i been progressing forward or naught? gee.. anyway. Happy birthday metamorphoziz!

My nightmare came true this morning.. My friend sent me a loud (really loud) old song called "Cha Cham Bo" last month. I have decided to set that song as my alarm melody every morning because it is loud enough (double emphasis) to wake me up. I always have this fear that my bonkers phone may blast out the melo dy in the middle of the service someday... in my denial, i told myself it wont happen because it only rings at 8 o'clock in the morning.. and i have been very cautious; whenever i attend any meetings to have my phone turned to silent mode. I thought i was safe, until... i met THE day... I turned my phone to silent mode. I was having a great time worshiping the Lord, immersing into His presence.. After a series of corporate prayer, Pastor Kong was ending the prayer meeting with a closing prayer, and while he was praying... (this was the time the hall was quieter..) all of a sudden... "CHA CHAM BOOOoOooooo" I almost flipped. Thank God I am quick enough to st...

Today is my second morning. Arriving church slightly before 7 in the morning. Seeing church from afar... nostalgia. I'm missing something... I can feel it coming. something familiar. It overwhelmed my heart, I can smell it. I miss SOT. --------------------------------------------------------------- Can you see the difference in the skylight? We were just trying to make a U-turn from the multi-storey carpark into the church building, and it took us from dust till dawn... just within a few minutes? 岁月不留人呀！ 在你不留意的时候，时间似从没关紧水龙头的水， 滴答滴答地悄悄溜进了那无 边无际的大海。。 永远都找不回遗失的那一滴。。 你是否是那个关不紧的水龙头，就这样浪费了每一滴，每一秒呢？ 好好的珍惜每一分，每一秒。 好好的珍惜身旁的人吧！

First out of the 10 days of morning spiritual exercise. This is how wonderful the sky looks like when i was on my way to church for morning prayer meeting. Just one word - shiok

I was trying out the Photoshop software that bundled with my laptop. Quite fun mingling with it. I really love my Vaio laptop. So many multimedia softwares and most of all, Photoshop! now i can edit pictures! I dont do super-impose, dont worry. What you see is what you get. heehee. Time for creative juice to ozzze!
