In the era where homepage making was a craze, i too dived into the trend. Going thru the homepage which i torn down, the remains reminded me that once upon i had a blog before this blogging thing came into fashion. In the last "renovations", i removed most of the poems and stories i had written, and these were my unspoken tots and emotions. And the reault for removing them were becos too many ppl i know were hitting the page like 3 meals a day... How can i let so many ppl noe wat i was feeling or thining or going thru each day ley?
Oki, out of point again... Anyway, the following is the article which i extracted to share with u ppl.
Enjoy.
---------- Buying Time ----------
A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"
The father was furious.
"If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep son?" he asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for.
" The little boy sat straight up, beaming.
"Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.
"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"
...................................................
Too many a time have we forgotten wat we already, we forgotten abt each other. Busy parents ( whom we'll be someday ) often remember only the material needs of a child, giving them whatever what they did not have as a child, but neglecting their emotional needs. Do u spend time with your family? Do u spend time with your child / children, your oen parents? What good is it to have everything but yet without anyone to share it with???
Your parents made you what u are today, how could u exist if not for them??? Your children are your responsiblity, u shape their future ......... No one promised u that life was going to be easy??? Life is never a bed of roses, even if it is, thorns are included too. Take heart, cos you are not alone...............

HOPE... The confident expectation of GOOD!
Time is really something we dun have, nor can we influence, let alone having control over it... We all know there is no price that we can buy it, cos it cannot be bought. Time is and never on anyone's side, neither yours not mine... Its merely an element, a tool that exist in our lives... good or bad will be dependant on how u view and uses it.
Few days back, i caught 2 movies >>> (Da Vinc Code & Poseidon) Interesting shows which gave me quite abit of thoughts... Especially Poseidon... And i was going to unload everything i had that came to mind to tis blog, but i really had problem penning it down. It really felt like i was conducting a post-mort on an intimate msg from a loved one, opening it up and trying to explain to ppl why and wat it mean and was trying to say. It jus dun feel rite bah...
Anyway, in short, the show jus showed me that time was running out and there are things waiting for me to get into. Though time was running out, time is still needed for me to to learn... Many things will come my way, legitimate or not they will come and they will be obstructions at some point of time. Like complancy, greed, fear, dependance on self knowledge for survival; These may kill me if i dwell on them......
I was thinking to myself, if i were every one of those ppl onboard the ship, would i ask for death, or stay put with the ship's captain or i would follow and venture out with Dylan? i have no answer for that, cos i really dare not think. But there is one thing i do agree, and that is :
With HOPE

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
1 Peter 1:3
Praise to God for a Living Hope
Praise to God for a Living Hope
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

哎呀 ~ ~
凌晨四点多。。。我能写什麽？
就冲着你说我没有东西写而来写。。。
但现在想想，好像有点小孩子气
哎呀 ~ 我不管啦 。。。都起来了啦。。。
--------------------
Oki, my chinese is really limited, and i cant really think at this time of the day after all the medications... So... i switching to channel 5 now. ^_^ Like tat i can write and understand better at wat i am writing to myself...
Hmm... I did learnt quite a few things this week, but i not sure if i rem it all. But the impt thing is that i realized that the Holy Spirit is with me and teaching me all the time, and i do not haf to worry if i rem each and every single lesson. Yup, you read correctly, i typed the word "WORRY". For those who noticed, i loved to carry an notebook with me... In the notebook i wrote everything, from my journals/diaries to sketches/drawings to my QT notes and sermons and everything... For one thing, i do love to write down all these things, becos i know i will forget... And u all know how easily i can forget something... Ya lor... Din know it can be a worry also... Not good lor...
Overly concern = worry...
Too much worrying will turn to unrest / depressed...
Then think too much will lead to tension or prolong tension (in other words, Stress)
It so easy to get depressed, and there are so many ppl affected by it... You dun need me to tell you how bad are the consequences... So, lighten up... breathe... The sky is not going to fall!

Gotta thank my fren for telling me that she has been posted to TNS... Post there for wat ah??? To TEACH lor... unbelieveable rite?!!! THat's my school lor!!! The school where i spent 6 years, the school where i had stayed the longest in my acedemic life. MY BELOVED SCHOOL!
Wow next best thing is she tell me TNS got webby lor!!! So i woke up today, chiong to repair and setup my lappy. Hahaha... The webby so nice... got the old sch building pic in the flash... (Most of the ex TNS-ians dun like the current setup of the school... COS they ate up the NICE BIG FIELD by building new buildings for expansions. Sigh...) Then again, everything that gotta do with TNS is NICE LOR!!! Dun play play hor... i still rem the sch song k... Dunno other schs also like tat, but last time all our exercise books behind got the sch song in scores and lyrics lor... wanna forget also hard bah...
So i went to see the site, page by page, line by line...
Got school history, its as short as wat we remembered... Tot they would have more info though... but ok... short and sweet and simple...
Got school crest info... got a very strong sense of patriotic feel!
The school motto the best - Sincerity and Perseverance
Dunno is i din know or i forgotten, but now i see liao... sounds power lor... See what they write:
I have never really took much tot in the two words - Sincerity & Perseverance, to me its just being true to your heart and hang on while the tough is going... But today, something really struck me.
Perseverance - Continuance in a state of grace until it is succeeded by a state of glory.
Pretty COOL rite?!!
Then there was the Mission & Vision and the CORE Values... The CORE Values page was another interesting thingie where i think i can pat the school on the wall and say," School... i think you've done a great job, i can see those values in me. ^_^" kekekekeke (Not funny arh? Nvm, i think its funny can liaoz... hehehehe) And on this same page, has a quote which i really dig it!

~ ~ ~ 脑 筋 阻 塞 ~ ~ ~
刚不是跟你们说了我从台北度假回来，
就是因为刚从那回来所以这篇要用华语啊！！！
回来后，我就病。。。
正确的说法应该是我在抵达台北市的第二天就已经不舒服了。
病因嘛。。。因该是自己给自己的压力太大吧。。。
为了要大家玩的愉快，又玩得彻底
我时时刻刻都在想我们有没有落掉什麽地方，
有没有更好的路线可走，可玩，
可以更好的运用我们的时间。
就因为两个朋友成天都把随便挂在嘴边，
我才更头大，更头痛。。。
再加上台北天气不佳，几乎每天下雨。。。
可能就因为这样才感冒的吧
就因为病了，回来的这几天
都是胡言乱语，废话连篇 （应该是鬼话连篇）
因心情不好，就扬言几天内本人会提出辞呈
一直以来我的工资真的没有很多。。。
那末久以来我一直以为是我做的不够，不够多，不够优。。。
六年了，现在的我真的不只有点恢心，根本就已经快死心。。。
只要稍微神智不清，或心情低落，辞呈就会是个解救我的假象。
可是，清醒后的我又会有另一种想法;
辞呈会不会是逃避的方法之一呢？
为了回答这个问题我总选哲了留下，
我要证明我是值得被重视的，
我要证明到他们无法否认得地步！
所以，朋友们。。
你们要为我祷告，为我加油打气，
看到我泄气就来鼓励我一下。。。
因为我无法自己一个人做到。

Back from taipei
Just came back from Taipei, and i'm a sick fish now... The weather been pretty bad, showers of rain with thunder were coming down on us frequently.
There isnt much to talk abt the trip though, just that i did visit the some of the places that i shld have been to but had not on the last round. Like on the first nite, we went to a club which was in a sphere-like building structure. The music was quite good, but we did have some prob explaining to the guys at the bar counter on wat we wanted. And we did see 1 tall, cute and not bad built guy.
On the next day, we went as planned... Danshui. The place was quite fun, there were those funfair games... those that has plenty of balloons and would require u to use darts or gun pellets to burst them. There were also plenty of dogs around... SO CUTE!!! I really dun mind going there again, cos we did not manage to finish going round the whole place. Some of us grew tired of walking and they decided to take the ferry to YuRenMaTou(The wharf tat plays tricks on ppl???). It was a pity that the weather was too misty and we cant see anything much, until nitefall came and the lights were lit. The bridge lit up in diff colors as the sky grew darker/time grew later. The land opp us, lit up as each home turn on their lights. I can imagine how it would be we were able to see the sunset... shld be awwwwwwwww~~~
This time i did get to go look at CKS Memorial Hall, we din go in cos the tupid tour guide bluffed us. The results were 3 pictures taken outside of the buildings and then it was us scurrying onto the tour bus. I was sorely didsppointed.
The next place was the Marty's Shrine, din seen anything but the hourly change of guards, were the air force was responsible for this time's round. Men in uniform really does wonders sometimes. ^_^ The of guards had alot of gestures, i guess most of it were catered for the tourist. But there was this part where the guards were stamping their feet before standing on the guard stand which i found it to be quite interesting. It seems like it designed for them to ensure that they were surveying where and how they shld be standing. And ensuring that the stand was sturdy enuff for them to hop on. Interesting...
The last of the stop we went was the National Palacce Museum, interestingly the guide told us that all the item kept were the best of the entire emperor possessions. They were chosen and removed from Beijing. And that those in Beijing were far more inferior to the items displayed here. Interesting huh... sort of aroused my interest in seeing Beijing's collection.
We barely seen anything and were chased off by the guide and he wanted to bring us to MaoJiaZhuang, with my prior experience, its definitely not a place i want to go tis time. We made excuses to leave the group. Now, it was the guide's turn to be sourly upset. (1:1 - now we are even!) The rest of the day wasnt much to talk abt, it was a ferris wheeling event and a short shopping bizazre... BUT at the end of it all, i did get to go to my fav book place! LOVELY PLACE!
Let's see... the 4th day was really nothing to talk abt until i get to meet up with a fren. You cannot imagine the relieve i felt at the sight of her. Of cos, i went to meet her without my other 2 travelling companions. It was the most relaxing moment! She brought a fren, and she is very friendly... v funny too. Then it was food, food , food... Of all the places i been in the last few days, i gotta say that the cafe on YangMingShan (草山夜未眠) was awesome!!! The view was great!!@!! And we were really very blessed to see fireworks, with compliments from a young rich kid was who celebrating his girlfren's birthday. It was GREAT!
The 5th day... The day to head for home... I finally told my fren to go ahead with their shopping, so that i can pack all the foodstuffs in the 2 cardboxs. I had to make 2 boxes with the bits and pieces of cardboxs from the convenient stores, the rain had dis-inter-graded the good boxes. With God's help, the two boxes were finally done and secured. And i took the remaining to shop at the my fav bookstore branch near our hotel, and helpless bought more books. Tried the mister donuts, not too bad, they sort of have a chewy texture though. If u ever try, try the original lion mane look-alike donut... Thats the best choice.
Conclusion:
The best thing i like abt the trip is seeing my sister's excitement at the box i brought home. Unlike my frens, i dun do much shopping, i usually would buy the local foodstuff back for family and frens. Seeing my sister's excitement was my greatest joy, she loved every single thing i brought back. This is the best reason why i went to taipei for holiday.

Haunting issues
Have you ever had the experience when u shrugged something off and it comes back every now and then to haunt you? Well, the key to the whole annoying issue is to resolve it once and for all. Now that's and answer all so simple and totally common sense, but why am i not able to do it?
It so frustrating to see and hear the whole problem over and over again.
The thing is ... i am not sure if wat i am jus ignoring the issue and hoping it goes away or am i jus not patience enuff to stay and wait for everything else to unfold and take place?
You tell me?

Pure
This is my brand new day starting now
I let go the things that weigh me down
And rob me of the beauty that’s to be found in life all around
And this is my prayer without ceasing, the negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easing
CHORUS
I bring the pure flow LIKE water around
The rocks of life won’t pull me down
I bring the pure flow drink so deep
The river of life my soul at ease
I bring the pure flow of water around
The rocks of life won’t pull me downI
bring the pure flow rising above
The storms of life to live and love
This is my brand new day in the light
Troubles rising up on the left and the right
I keep my eyes fixed on where I want to go
The rest will follow
And this is my prayer without ceasing, the negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easy?
CHORUS
This is my brand new day starting now
Letting go of the ways that I fall down
The old can be made new the lost can be found
The lost will be found
And this is my prayer without ceasing, the negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easy?
CHORUS
My soul is at ease and I am free
My soul is at ease and I am free
This is my day
My soul is at ease and I am free
I am free?
CHORUS
Behind the Song:
揗ax and Matt wrote this song after watching a snowboarding show on TV. When you are focused and in the flow of things, you have a good run and everything just glides past. That's how it is with our lives when we are focused on God. You are in the pure flow, and life just flows around you.? - Melissa Brock (Superchick)
I let go the things that weigh me down
And rob me of the beauty that’s to be found in life all around
And this is my prayer without ceasing, the negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easing
CHORUS
I bring the pure flow LIKE water around
The rocks of life won’t pull me down
I bring the pure flow drink so deep
The river of life my soul at ease
I bring the pure flow of water around
The rocks of life won’t pull me downI
bring the pure flow rising above
The storms of life to live and love
This is my brand new day in the light
Troubles rising up on the left and the right
I keep my eyes fixed on where I want to go
The rest will follow
And this is my prayer without ceasing, the negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easy?
CHORUS
This is my brand new day starting now
Letting go of the ways that I fall down
The old can be made new the lost can be found
The lost will be found
And this is my prayer without ceasing, the negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easy?
CHORUS
My soul is at ease and I am free
My soul is at ease and I am free
This is my day
My soul is at ease and I am free
I am free?
CHORUS
Behind the Song:
揗ax and Matt wrote this song after watching a snowboarding show on TV. When you are focused and in the flow of things, you have a good run and everything just glides past. That's how it is with our lives when we are focused on God. You are in the pure flow, and life just flows around you.? - Melissa Brock (Superchick)

Big Boss & Tug Boat
On a sunny island in the east, there is a wharf where many ships and boats come from far and wide. Like any other normal days, there are big and small vessals crowding the place. In a small corner, floats 2 of the most special vessals of the whole wharf... They are special becos they belong to the owner of the wharf, they are the Big Boss's fav boats in the whole area. The first boat is a white yacht, with beautiful blue and golden outlines... <BELOVED> is its name. And the other is a tugboat... and its called <LOVE>. Though it had no blue and golden outlines, but it was a magnificent vessal which draws all attention.
One day, there was trouble at the wharf, and the whole place was in chaos. All the wharf's tugboats were either damaged or inadequate. The wharf was in desperate need of help, and the Big Boss decides to loan out his precious tugboat to solve the problem. As much as He loves the tugboat, this precious keepsake, but he had to look at the big picture... The need to straighten out the wharf was more impt.
From that day on <LOVE> went down to the wharf, and followed the master plan that the Big Boss had drawn out to not only restore but to make the wharf a better place where trouble will cease to hap again.
As <BELOVED> watched <LOVE> worked, all sorts of thots were building in its heart. First it tot that Big Boss had forgot abt itself, then it felt that He didnt like itself anymore. There were tots that churned up by itself that it was incapability etc... all sorts of negative things jus kept pouring into this little boat. Finally, it could not take it any more and it decides to imitate <LOVE> and sails out to pull in a few vessals. But a yacht was not meant for such purposes, and <BELOVED> was towed back instead. <BELOVED> was embarassed and felt he had shamed. Most of all, the little boat was hurted, it was really afriad and upset that it was not able to help Big Boss or <LOVE>, instead it had made things worse.
<BELOVED> felt that itself was hopeless and jus stay afloat in its corner... Whenever, Big Boss sends ppl to check on the little one or to do some maintenace, the little yacht would refused to start its engine, nor stay still for the workers to work on. As time goes by, a type of terrible seaweed call condemnation grew speedily on the little thing. It affect not only the outlook of the boat, but also the engine when the seaweeds entangle its propellor. The once beautiful yacht was now in shambles.
Big Boss couldnt bear to see its <BELOVED> in such a state, and went down to it personally. He sat beside the little boat on the wharf, until it was sun set... Then it was dark, and suddenly a storm came forth. The storm was fierce and heavy and the little one was filled with fear and despair. Then it heard someone said," Shhhhh... calm down little one, do not be afraid... I am here." With these words, the yacht lit up... It was Big Boss... He rolled up his sleeves to tidy the place, and made a small fire to warm the place. Then the storm went off.
Big Boss sat down and said to his <BELOVED>:
You are my <BELOVED>, and you will always be my precious BELOVED, yesterday, today and forever more. When you are in my wharf, you are like in my arms where i shelter you from storms and trouble. You are my previous little yacht, and my purpose for you is of fun and joy. Do not compare yourself with yr brother <LOVE>, the tugboat has it own purposes and it is here to serve you. Whenever you are lost or in need of help, <LOVE> is here to guide you home to me... to this wharf corner where i have specially prepared for you. This is not an unwanted corner for you to be left forgotten. But a place at my right hand where i can always see you and keep you protected from storm and ppl. Do not worry, do not fear becos I AM HERE.

KIND & GENTLES!!!!!!!!
What type of personality do you have?
Here is the analysis:
Kind and Gentle
Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people
respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.
[AMEN AMEN AMEN!!! ^_^]

[AMEN AMEN AMEN!!! ^_^]
The Real Me?
Here is the analysis:
You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.
You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.
You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to be the same as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.
Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?
Your boyfriend thinks that you are a real doll but this is not a totally positive thing. Sometimes you can be a bit too sweet, and come across as being helpless. If you're like this too frequently, your boyfriend and other people are likely to get tired of you having to rely on them all the time.

My God, The one who loves me so...
Do you know that someone loves you very much, to the extend that he gave his life in exchange for you to be freed, to be righteous, to be redemned, to be prosperous, to be happy, to be blessed...???
Many many many many years ago, God sent his Son down to earth and live as man. His name is call Jesus. He came down in the form of mankind, to die for us on the cross so that we may be able to return to God's side. His death, not only redemned us from curses and the law, the law of self efforts to gain recognition and receive wat is fit for as in accordance to wat we can do. But this law only magnifies our weakness and inability to fulfill the requirements.
Thus, God sent Jesus to come among us and teach us, and to die for us. Upon the death of Christ on the cross, by the blood he shed and all that he suffered were for us. That all he carried, so that we may have the opposite. He is cursed that we may be bless, He is put to death that we may live. The unthinkable thing is, God planned for all these courses of actions and event to take place, to show us how much he loves us.
If only you know how much God loves you... life will never be the same.
The love that is wider than the sky, higher than the universe and deeper than any ocean.
What would you lose to hear out of this love, and gift of salvation for you?
i beseech you to give yourself a chance, a chance to an abundant life, a chance to be deeply loved and cared for, a chance to be highly favoured by the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords.

Song Lyrics: "Who am I"
Artist: Casting crowns
Song: Who am I lyrics
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I?
That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart,
Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,Lord,
You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am..
I am Yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again,
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me,
Not because of who I am,
But because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who You are,
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean),
A vapor in the wind,
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am...
I am Yours, I am Yours.
I am Yours,
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,I am Yours.

Still You hear me when I'm calling,Lord,
You catch me when I'm falling,
And You've told me who I am..

Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again,
Who am I?

Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours,I am Yours.

Giving Thanks!
I guess... most of you shld already know by now that i have officially received my promotion notification letter, and it states an increment of a 3 digit amt. PRAISE GOD!
But to be really frank, i was a little disappointed at the amt stated in it. Cos i had spoken to my boss previously, and he was speaking of an amt more than wat i am stated to receive now. Well, i guess its part of God's plan.
Not that God is not willing to prosper me, i believe that God will not bless me with things that i cannot handle and be burdened with it. Truth is, with the increment i have in mind, i guess i will go into a frenzy thinking that $$$ is more than abundant and start splurging... possible to an extend of running high debts. God is good to teach me to manage my finances now... It has really been a long while since i last had any significant savings. And now i am quite comfortable with my finances... Its heading somewhere now.
Blessings of prosperity will come, in the name of Jesus i receive!!! ^_^
Now i am really thinking deep deep if i need a car... read carefully... its THINKING if i would NEED a car, its no longer if i wanna get a car. Ya, now will think farther liaoz... Cos have to maintain a holiday vacation lifestyle of going overseas. If got biz trip i confirm volunteer to go, cos can save $$$. Else my holiday trips will have to downsize budget liaoz... This year will be taipei again, then maybe New Zealand... Europe might have to push to next yr, else it will be a year of bread and butter...
Maybe i shld go overseas alone... then maybe got chance to meet some ppl and make new frens? But then, it will be quite lonely??? No one to talk to, then stay hotel room all alone sounds pretty pathetic leh... Unless i go stay backpackers' inn... tat one think will get to meet more ppl bah, and hopefully learn to communicate with ppl and truely learn how to get along with others. I also dunno wat i wanna see, but i do know tat i would like to have a try at living their lifestyle...
OH YAH!, my fren say wanna go join AMAZING RACE!!! Hmm.. if audition goes thru, then i think it would really be fun...Let's hope we can get thru the audition, and my leave application for 1 mth and most of all, win that USD 100,000 bucks!!!
hehehehe.... looks like i will be having a good dream later huh.... kekekeke
Great is yr faithfulness, great is yr mercies and great is yr grace unto me...
I Praise you my lord and king! AMEN!!!
