went for mass yesterday with lynette choong. (: was nice and refreshing. somehow i missed mass, since the last time i went for it on maundy thursday. oh dear. no i'm not becoming catholic. hahahs.. at least not yet. i'm not ruling anything out.. (:

so it was quite nice, but ahwells. it might be a while before i go for the next one. i was hoping father anthony ho would preside over mass, but it was father gerard. was nice anyways, i like father gerard cos he's nice and funny, i like father anthony ho cos he sings so well. (:

five loaves two fishes. i'll always remember his exhortation. (:

some funny stuffs happened, like the waving thing with nicole.. hahahs.. really sorry i didn't recognise her and she was so emarassed. ): but i apologised later so i hope it's alright. and she knows it was unintentional. (:

[true friends]
true friends give comfort.
true friends give advice.
true friends help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
true friends rebuke with love.
true friends may not always accept your opinions.
true friends do not always shower you with praises, cos they care about you too much to do that.
true friends aren't bothered about your ego.

i saw the heart of my true friend today.

thank you liru, for being so patient and being such a true friend. i was truly truly touched just now. (: i think what you did was really brave and wow. i really appreciate that. (: thank you thank you (:

  Growing Up
Sometimes, we reflect and see how much we havew matured over the years, laugh at our own immaturity and learn from our mistakes. Just last week saw an event that showed me the maturity of certain people.

So it happened that a particular member of the public called up my school, lodging a complaint against one of my classmates. Well, sir and madam (it was a couple), I think that your action and decision just reflected on your lack of maturity. It was just a simple incident at the traffic lights, no one got injured, both were in the wrong, you two should have just left it at that. But no, you two had the cheek to make a rackus of this and cause my friend humiliation. For that, I really despise you two, of YOUR lack of maturity. Take this as a challenge if you want to, but if you two really have the guts to make a mole hill out of nothing, I'm sure you two should have the courage to have a meeting with my class, take it as an explanation for the time taken to go through this matter that has eaten up the time of my whole class. We'd like to hear your side of the story.

Some people's lack of maturity is simply appalling.

RAHHHHHH. (no i'm not calling sarah.)

HRMPF.

PFFFT.

SOBSOBSOBSOBSOB.

Your Power Color Is Magenta

At Your Highest:

You energize yourself and push others to suceed.

At Your Lowest:

You feel frustrated and totally overwhelmed.

In Love:

You are suprised by who you attract. You're a love magnet.

How You're Attractive:

Open and free spirited, people want to explore the world with you.

Your Eternal Question:

"What is my next source of inspiration?"
What's Your Power Color?

it's amazing how people can come up with such stuff, and be shockingly accurate. at least it is for me. hahah. err. maybe minus the love part. i ain't very attractive, sad to say.
 
 
[a long blogging hiatus]
to my avid fans and readers (or lack thereof), my apologies for the lack of blogposts. hurrhurrs. been really busy these few days cathcing up with work, and i don't expect myself having anymore free time than i am having now until the a levels are over. call me a mugger, i don't care. i need all the time i can get to get a life and relax and spend adequate time on my books ( which i am sorely lacking).

nearing the end of the half-blood prince, i'm sorry eeling that i don't feel the same way as you do, not that i'm elated that they got together, nor am i happy that there's an over-emphasis on snogging in the book, but more like.. i don't care. i just like harry, dumbledore, and the excitement about AHEM. as in tom riddle. yup. not to mention there are some funny parts. i especially like ROONIL WASLIB. (: it's like.. ishmael to ismail kinda thing. (: really funny. well, at least it is to me. (:

ANYONE WANTS TO READ ANGELS AND DEMONS? i've got a copy you could borrow. pity to waste the book, rotting in my bookshelf.

well, i'm beginning to see some hope in my chemistry, getting the hang of stuffs. losing interest in maths, don't know why, but oh wells. it doesn't really matter. i'll just get back to it... soon. physics.. i'm trying. i really am. but.. there is just a teeny weeny bit of progress. not as heartening as chemistry. well, thanks to a certain someone who's giving me tuition. yes i have to give you some credit. at least now i know that nucleophiles like the nucleus. (:

okay. i think it's high time i replied my tagboard, or no one will ever tag again. ): heehee.

pearllam`
hey dearie! (: thanks. i like the songs too. heehee. okays.. see ya ard. and erm.. thanks for the compliment. i'm not that good. (: really.

[on the NKF issue]
since it's talked about so much and i haven't got any really IMPACTFUL input to give, i shall leave you guys with something my uncle told me just now. (:

A call for donation costs $5.
A gold plated toilet fitting costs $990.
The most expensive peanuts ever cost $600,000.


you'd understand what i'm talking about if you're updated on what mrs goh chok tong said to dig her own grave. if only she was half as tactful as her husband Mr Goh Chok Tong. respect him lots. (:

How's that for expensive? (:

go, Go, GO Mr T. T. Durai. ain't it great to know you're worth peanuts? hurrhurr.

time for a dear max..

Dear max,
sigh sigh sigh. i don't know if i should be happy cos PERHAPS you care, or i should be disappointed cos you have such little faith in me, such little faith in yourself. maybe i should make it clear. what i feel for you has not changed AT ALL. not one bit. as i was in the car just now, was thinking about stuffs, and i realised that well, i very much miss the good ol' days and i MAY wanna go back. perhaps i don't have the courage to. maybe that's what is keeping me from going into a relationship. but in any case, nobody's gonna take your place for now. not in the foreseeable future. the prime seat is still yours, come take your place if you want to. and for goodness sakes, me and him are nothing more than good friends. you could have just come and asked me, hahahs. maybe there's a reason why you chose to ask georgia and not me. but in any case, isn't it better to hear it from me, THE PERSON IN QUESTION, than to ask georgia, not that i've got anything against it, but i'm just curious. heehees.. (: and i had half a mind to say "yeah we're like going steady now" and see what your reaction will be. but i guess i'll never know now eh? hurrhurr. HAVE MORE FAITH IN ME AND YOURSELF. please. i'm not someone who, in teng's words, change relationships like changing clothes. yeah. so there. (:

Why - Nicole Nordeman
We rode into town the other day
Just me and my daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man that my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said daddy why are they screaming
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts him more then he shows
Daddy please can't you do something?
He looks as though he's gonna cry
You said he was stronger then all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why?
Why does everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said father why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my clothes?
This crown of thorns hurts me more then it shows
Father please can't you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle a cross of this size
Father remind me why?
Why does everyone want me to die?
When will I understand why?

My precious son
I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own
Jesus this hurts me much more then you know
But this dark hour
I must do nothing
Though I've heard your unbearable cries
The power in your blood
Destroys all of the lies
Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies
Look there below
See the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell you why
She is why you must die
 
  on your special day.
for mark, happy birthday. i'm sorry this post is one day late, but then again, better late than never.

The Birthday Song - Corrinne May
Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the yearsmonths we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul you've helped to grow
A little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the yearsmonths we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

here's a drawing for you. (:
 
  grandmothers
yesterday was oh so trying. my mama really knows how to test my willpower eh. last week she made grilled dory fish [my favourite western meal] for dinner. yesterday she brought us to a seafood restaurant. oh i had "see-food" alright. : i had like.. different seafood flavoured veggies, those they line the plate with and put the real seafood on. prawn veg, mussel egg veg, AND SHE ORDERED VENISON! man. she ordered all my favourite meats. ARGH. i guess that's what fasting is all about. giving up what you treasure for God. (:

and i wanted to post HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! yesterday, but my brother refused to be evicted from the computer. grr. hahahs.. oh wells. so i sent a msg. (: at least i wished you.. right? (: hurrhurr. bad brother. he's lazing in bed when we're like.. SUPPOSED TO LEAVE NOW FOR CHURCH. if we're late it's gonna be his fault. i couldn't make him get up. i tried. ):

so. yeah. my grandmother. yesterday she was like.. being oh so unreasonable la! oh my goodness. i wanted to tell her that she was wrong, but knowing her, it'll just make the situation worse. so i was like.. trying so so so so so so hard to hold my tongue. and when we FINALLY reached home [she was complaining in the car from the time we left my uncle's family at the seafood restaurant in east coast], i went to my dad's room and unloaded everything on him. hahahs.. thanks daddy. (: can always count on him to listen. and my poor brother who was driving and sitting next to her joined us soon after. hurrhurr. ah well. but i think my momma's got it worst. after coming home, she had to listen to my granny till 11 plus. MUMMY YOU BETTER NOT BE LIKE PORPOR! (: oh wells. but granny's real nice when she doesn't get these horrible mood swings. (:

time to go to church. WAKE UP KORKOR!

I realise that often, it's the little things that friends does that really touches our hearts. it is not the big presents that they give you that really make you cry [ though I must admit I like presents, hey I'm human too. (: ] , it's that one little action that often goes unnoticed by many that just tugs at our heartstrings.
"I have not updated this blog for a million years or something. Whenever I find a need to record something here, I am most often in a serious mood. Normally, my post would be sparkled off by an event. This post however, is sparkled off by my close friend of many years, Jeanette."
When I read it, I was like.. smiling. And wishing I could just give pearl a hug at that very instant. Man. Sometimes I wish I was not that emotional. I'd make a very bad guy. Hahaha.

  memories
was looking through some of the competition photos that mr soh took, that we never got a chance to, like duh. we were on stage. (: i think those really cause a stirring deep down inside me. in those photos, i saw determination. i saw total concentration. i saw fun. i saw tears. i saw friendship. i saw effort. i saw the love for music. i have never seen choreo done with so much enthusiasm before. but EVERY SINGLE ONE did the stuff well. and i nearly cried while watching the photos. it's just amazing. all our hard work paid off. wow. i love ajchoir. i really do. i found love here. i learnt many lessons. formed strong bonds. went through thick and thin with the JELY girls. i matured here in ajchoir. and i've got many fond memories here. OH I DON'T WANNA LEAVE. ):

[Christ-likeness]
Brother, let me be your servant;
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey,
We are brothers on the road.
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ-light for you
In the night time of your fear.
I will hold my hand out to you;
Speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping.
When you laugh, I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow,
'Til we've seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven,
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony.


Let us learn how to serve
For we need to share Christ's love.
Let us learn how to serve
That we may please our Father above.

Let us not judge our friends
For it may be our friendship's end.
Let us not judge our friends
That we may together see rainbow's bend.

Let us bear the light of Christ
For our loved ones sake, we must.
Let us bear the light of Christ
That the cross'll not be in vain, He paid the price!

liru, hey my dear, i admit that i don't really know what to say to you right now, but just know that i'm here yeah. (: i know you read my blog quite often. heees. you say so yourself. (:
 
  Blessings
From a children's worship song:

Count your blessings
Name them one by one.
Count your blessings
See what God has done!
Count your blessings
Name them one by one.
Count your blessings
See what God has done!

I think my family has been very blessed. Over the years, my parents started off with barely anything at all. and i really mean very little. or example, the only piece of furniture in the house was their wedding bed. That was all. There just wasn't enough money to spare. Whenever in times of need, when things seem bleak, daddy always told me this, "God will provide." I never really believed what he says, because frankly, it seemed quite impossible that God, who probably resides on another planet, could do anything about our needs here.

Was doing some reflection the other day, and i realised that hey, we've really come so far and if i were around when my parents just got married, I'd say they wouldn't make it very far. But we're able to lead fairly comfortable lifestyles now, not really extravagant, but we are better off as compared to many others. The truth is staring at me. God DID provide.

My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus.
-Philipians 4:19-


God bless you richly as he has so blessed my family. (:

okay. i actually went out wanting to get paper but not knowing where to get it from. aren't i simply smart? hahahs.. at least i knew that the shop was in bras basah and it was near some hotel that starts with the letter 'c'. so.. i'm assuming that's carlton hotel, and it's in bras basah. hopefully the shop alista was refering to was art friend. but oh wells. teng was like.. super exasperated. hurrhurr. "YOU KNOW THAT BRAS BASAH COMPLEX IS LIKE SUPER BIG? AND THE SHOP MAY NOT EVEN BE HERE LA!" when i said we'll just look floor by floor. wahahahs.. but oh wells. was funny la. then went around.. look see look see.. we were rather amused by the tight security. and the crowd was like.. not bothered at all. like.. okayy. they have ioc. so what. hurrhurr. but we were trying to spot snipers. how smart. of course they're well-hidden. but we decided to try our luck anyway. of course.. no such luck.

was sitting with mark during the talks today, obviously we weren't listening, i mean, who listens to ms linette lim, and especially when she's just repeating herself all over again? for an hour. yeah. so me and mark.. we were talking about religion and all, something i'm always really interested in. (: he was explaining his doctrines. interesting. and georgia turned around, saw the two of us sitting together, and gave this super shocked look, followed by a cheeky grin. some thanks arh. imagine sister vanessa quay, padre [father] mark tan and cardinal gideon sim [you'd have to be in the college of cardinals before you become pope first, and i don't know what name you'd choose.] i think the first two are alright, but gideon as pope? that's a little far-fetched. heehee..

i just accidentally deleted the testimonial i wrote for georgia. ain't i smart? -smacks myself in the forehead- so the career talks weren't as bad as i expected them to be. -looks at edna- okay. here's the ultimate joke of the day.

"who's that?"
-mingzhi when i offered her marshmellows, saying they're from
helsinki.


i was like. OMG. helsinki's the capital of finland. not a person. -pengz- hahahs.. oh wells. met lavina and elaine chan on the train. they were super funny. (: hurrhurr.. especially lavina. oh my goodness. she's just as comical as she always was la. i think vj just made her funnier. she had funny facial expressions. funnier than lynette's i tell you. (: and i realised elaine knows georgia. hahahs..

okays. i wanna write something on my phillosophical blog now. tata.

Your wise quote is: "The best
antiques are old friends" by Unknown...
Your buds is the source of your happiness
(maybe not all but still). Even if it's just
one, a couple or a whole group they are the
ones you can't wait to see. It does not matter
if you're shy with everyone else or not, with
them you let your true spirit shine and can be
as loud as you want. They accept you, and you
love them for that.

Wind element
Your element is Wind. You are the guy/girl that is
unpredictable. No one knows what you're going
to do next and what you're in the mood for.
Studying is not your thing and you would rather
go to a party than stay home. Life is just for
fun and you need to be free to live according
to you. You waste no time on lies, if you feel
or think one thing you say it even if it hurts.
Of course, people may be quite upset but that
doesn't really bother you. Its not that you
don't care, because you do, but in these
situations it's a waste of time. You live up in
the clouds and are quite a dreamer about life.
People often consider you beautiful, but harsh
and they would think twice before getting to
know you. But once they do, they'll learn that
you are always willing to take yourself and
your friends on adventures. Never will it be a
boring time with you and your friends
appreciate that. You are not often seen sad,
but you have your times. If someone has been
mean to you, you can quite easily trash-talk
them for betraying you. Nevertheless, you are
most of the time a good spirit who just want to
have some fun. Rate and message!

[touched.]
thank you joey for that post. gosh. i nearly cried la. (: -hugs- after our whole evening of talks on relationships and well. erm. books. hahahs.. you actually wrote a post about it. geee. feel so honoured. thanks thanks thanks. (: yes i'll keep at it. i'll try my best to craft out a nice story, after all, i am able to cos of friends like you. (: ahh. thank God for people like you. (:
 
 
i realise that my dear max entries have roused much curiousity among my readers. (: well, if you read carefully, it is not all that hard to guess max's identity. (: really. it's not all that hard. not at all. (: joey oh disciple, think hard. (:

edit: not bad joey, not bad. (: oh. i've FINALLY finished uploading the choir trip pictures. they're at my imagestation. the link's in the exits. (:
 
 
[youth day]
happy youth day everyone. i'm currently stuck at home with a pile of gp hw to complete thanks to my procrastination during the holidays. 5 essays and 5 compres to complete, and i'm supposed to cook dinner tonight, all because i'm being such a pain in the neck by fasting from meat. so my momma's fed up and out of a guilty heart, i offered to cook dinner tonight. -slaps myself- i just offered to do something i don't exactly like to do, and that's cooking. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? -faints-

grrrreat. i'm totally bored and it's all my fault that i'm stuck at home really. cos lynette called last night bugging me to go study with her and the rest at amk library. and i refused, cos i wasn't feeling well. well, i still am not feeling well, having a splitting headache and a terrible throat thanks to the disgusting weather. ohwells.

anyways, do consider going for this year's festival of praise, it's gonna be interesting cos it seems like they've dumped the idea of a traditional festival of praise and brought in the big guns. anyone looking for the perfect rock concert to go to, this is it. i very much prefer the old ways of hymns and songs, but Hillsongs is fine too i guess. (:

i believe the picture of the crowded indoor stadium was taken during the Hillsong concert last year, or was it the year before last? cos it looks familiar, and i was there. (:

by charlene's request, the scandal photo is off.

-tom ong-

had church today as usual.. (: had a nice talk with tiong jin. hahahs.. the world is so small la. was talking to michael last night and tiong jin this afternoon. and the two of them are like.. in such a similar situation. left spore in sec 3 for australia. back now to do ns. both posted to sispec. oh wells.

time to catch up with old friends now that the exams are over. so if i haven't talked to you in a long while and i just pop up saying hello, don't be surprised. the busy lil girl's now got a little free time on her hands that she wants to spend on her friends. (:

and since i'm on the subject of friends, apparently, a certain funny-joshgroban-wannabe is rather amused at some of the lingo that i use. like.. yummylicious and yuppadoodledoos and hugglepoos and well.. fanTASTICAListic. hahahs.. so yeah. mr wong shi zhen.. i know that's you. (: hahahs! thanks for tagging. (: and what's that about pirated girl? HMMM.

i'm awfully inspired by pearl and her blog on life. (: and i dare say i'm gonna start one and try my hand at being philosophical. (: here's it. life's memories

dear max,
i realised that i have lesser and lesser things to say to you these few days. mmm. is that a sign of healing? i don't know. but pain's still there, though thankfully, it's diminshing. i think. sigh. sometimes, i have the urge to just give you a beeeeg huggg. but i constantly have to fight that urge. it's better for us that way.

eelingguay`
no worries about things yeah! i'm here for you if you need me, to listen and all like that day. i'm not the best person to give you advice, but i guess i can say i do understand at least a little of what you're going through. (: cheer up! -hugs-

ednawong`

danielthong`
man. hahahs.. okay. that's really literally TAGGING. (: hurrhurr. hope to meet up with you someday. pingpong? (:
 
  Love
Isn't it funny how love can make a person do silly things, things that no one in the world would expect them to do? And isn't it funny how that same love that puts you right on top of the world can also bring you down to the pits of the earth? I've been in love before and it has been my best experience as well as my worst. My dream come true and my nightmare all at the same time. Love has given me so much and yet has taken much away from me too. Being in love, I'd say, is probably one of the best experiences a girl could have. After all, who doesn't want to be loved?

Love makes one extremely vulnerable, sometimes a little too vulnerable for my own liking. After all, I am such a person that likes to feel in control of everything. Whether i really am in control, that is another issue altogether. As i love to quote Dennis,
"To love is to be vulnerable to the other person."
Love is two extremes, whether you like it or not. Play the game of Love carefully, for if you lose, the stakes are high.
 
  On Dying
Death seems all too easy an option for us to take when the going gets tough. It's commonly viewed by many as a solution to all our problems. A common misconception is that through death, silence is achieved, peace at last. Oh, the irony of it all.

Today, yet another murder case was reported. Lady killed, found in a puddle of blood. When will all these killing end? Suicide, a very "popular" way of ending one's life. I personally view it as a very selfish act. The problems that the deceased faced is now passed on to the family members and loved ones. No, unnatural death is not a solution.

Yet again, I think of my uncle's mother-in-law, lying in the hospital, most probably breathing her last. Hope against all hope, she will recover, but chances are slim. Life is cruel, isn't it?

For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Death is a release. A release from suffering on this Earth for terminally ill patients. A release for many others too.

How about this: Death- a deterrent. That is probably why they impose the death sentence on criminals who have committed grave offences against the state.

Death is not to be trifled with. Leave Death alone until the rider on the white horse comes a-looking for you. That is when we embrace it, because it is a well-deserved release from the agonies of this world.
 
  What is YOUR purpose?
I am utterly inspired by Pearl's write like you're dying blog. You should go see it. Well, if you're reading this, a peek at Pearl's blog is a must, because it's there where she ponders on life's questions. I'd like to learn from her too, so that I too, when I am older, can look back on the thoughts of my youth.

Yesterday, my little 7-year old cousin Matthew asked a simple yet profound question, one that I myself do not know how to answer.

Matthew:When we die and get to Heaven, will we get to know our life's purpose, our purpose here on Earth?"
His mother:You already know your purpose, son, it's to evangelise and bring people to Christ.
Matthew:No, not the common purpose. Why am I, Matthew Leong, here on Earth? Why me? What does God want ME to accomplish? That's what I want to know.

Wow. A 7-year old asking this. I don't even think many of us have thought of such a thing. It sure got me wondering. What am I here for? Hey reader, do you know what YOU are here for? Your specific purpose, one that no one else fulfils but just you alone?

he made this formation.. saying "make a poem!"


proud of his work of art. (:


matthew all grown up. (: in primary one now.


val me liru and sarah at thursday's class dinner
here's a thought to think about..
Evangelist Daniel Allbritton: evangelizing is not hard at all. it's not whether you CAN do it. it's whether you WANT to do it. I'm sure you'll be able to bring even 500 people to church if i said i'd give you 100 buck for every one person you bring to church.
it's quite true. what reward is better than knowing you're fulfilling the will of God, pleasing him? what is a hundred bucks? pleasing God is better than anything else. (:

[when i say i'm christian]
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'.
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Deck of Cards
The Deck of Cards A young soldier was in his bunkhouse all alone one Sunday morning. It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn't been heard.

The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the Holiest day of the week. As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk. Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?" The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord." The sergeant said, "Looks to me like you're going to play cards."

The soldier said, "No sir, you see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards." The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?"

"You see the Ace, Sergeant, it reminds me that there is only one God.

The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments.

The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them were glorified.

The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth...

The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation.

The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives, the eight people God spared from the flood that, destroyed the earth.

The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy... He cleansed ten but nine never thanked Him.

The Ten epresents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone.

The Jack is a reminder of Satan. One of God's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell.

The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.

The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.

When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year.

There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week, 52 weeks in a year.

The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Each suit has thirteen cards; there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.

So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for."

The sergeant just stood there and after a minute,with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?" Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line fighting for us.

dear max,
sometimes it seems like we've gone back to the good ol' days, yet sometimes i feel that you're so far away. mmm. i guess that's what you mean by "just shrink away" huh. oh wells. maybe we haven't gone back to the good ol' days. i think it's just wishful thinking on my part. sukiyaki puts it right. yes i know you kept singing this the week after we called it quits [no prizes for guessing how i know]. i guess.. it's relevant to both of us. hurrhurr.

Sukiyaki
It's all because of you
I am feeling blue
You went away
Now my life is just a rainy day
I loved you so
How much you'll never know
You gone away and left me lonely

Untouchable memories
Seem to keep haunting me
Now the love so true
That once turned all my grey skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
And I'm wishing you were here with me

I'm soaked with love
All my thoughts of you
Now that you're gone
I just don't know what to do

If only you were here
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine
Once again you'll be mine oh mine
But in reality
You and I will never be
Cos you took your love away from me


eelingguay`
hahahs.. supposed huh. (: nah you ain't no mugger. (: anyways.. the tests are over! hurrah! go have fun with the 34 people. sorry i couldn't join you guys at fish and co. would have loved to but oh wells. still had papers that day. you went fish and co with them right?
