Today..
Today I saw something amazing.
I saw a person with arthritis run up and down the stairs of the church building, with no complaints about the pain any longer.
I saw a person who couldn't raise their arms above their shoulders and being unable to bend her knees, jump up and down and rasing her arms and hands and swinging them around and around, like as if it never happened.
Today, I saw God's glory poured out for all of us.

So I think to myself, what a creepy dream.
I'm chalk out of ideas to write here at the moment, so lets talk about dreams.
I just had the creepiest dream last night, it was so creepy, I woke up.
It was kind of stupid, I had "powers" to graviate stuff towards me and away from me. So ok, its like this, I was in this random house, and for some odd reason, it had big windows and a window paned roof, so it was see through. And so I decide to play with these new found "powers" (in my dream of course) and oh what do I see, an owl. Yes a very chubby, pretty much harmless owl. So I gravitate the animal to the window, it hits it, the owl gets startled. The 2nd time, it locates me and suddenly, its eyes turn red, kinda creepy, I don't know what the dream was made of but yeah. It starts clawing at the windows and gives like a death glare thingy. Then I notice the window is open but the owl doesn't fly in, it just flies there, clawing at nothing and glaring at me, with its creepy eyes, then I wake up wondering what on earth was that about. Creepy huh?
But there was a little revelation in that, which I had no idea how I got. God works strangely and defintely knows better than anyone and He probably gave me the revelation. Pretty much, the building I was in was like God's protection, even if I imagined there was a flaw or it was incomplete (the open window) nothing would be able to come in unless God lets it in, regardless of anything. God's power; undoubtedly stronger than all else.
If you ever feel like giving up your Faith in God for another, or perhaps trying to reach out to someone who is of another religion, remember this;
John 14:6 - Jesus Christ answered, "I am THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life, NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me." Other religions claim to be A way, A truth and A life, but He is THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life.
Some people who read this blog may be struggling with the idea of salvation, but let me tell you (whoever you might be), its not that hard. Its just simply, accepting the fact that Jesus died on the cross and by doing so paid for you sins for ALL eternity. Doesn't matter how badly you've screwed up, God has already forgiven you. Now all you need to do is accept Him into your life as your Lord and Saviour. Yes, to receive salvation is that easy, its like a gift, all you need to do is to receive it, willingly.
Well since I have nothing more to blog about, lets go over the basics.
1) We're all good, we're all doing well. Everyones pretty happy.
2) TISC (University application website) apparently hates me, doesn't want to load, so I have to apply through other various means. [I don't like telephone calls to people who wear fake smiles and talk in fake posh voices, seriously]
3) I just farted, like this is totally random but heck, I'm bored, its the holidays.
Alden was here - And he's about to have a good holiday.
P.S - LOL @ "Zombie Apocalypse" idea

P.S - LOL @ "Zombie Apocalypse" idea
"So, it was like the end of the world/zombie apocalypse..."
Well, what would your first thoughts have been?
First thought upon waking up; "hmm... it looks something like the end of the world..."
First thought upon waking up; "hmm... it looks something like the end of the world..."
Second thought; "fires?"
Third thought; "zombie apocalyp- wait, no don't be stupid..."
Fourth thought; "....I could play a zombie apocalypse prank on the neighbours....."
Anyway, the last thought was an entertaining one, but I decided against it. Such a prank needs some half-decent makeup and planning, and preferably more than one 'zombie' (it definitely needs a horde). Also, old neighbours are liable to die of heart attack or something. Still, I don't think I'll ever get that chance again. =(

Oh yeah; this was the result of a dust storm we had in Sydney on Wednesday morning, if you guys hadn't already heard about it (though I'm sure you probably did). Anyway, the photos I had, dint really get the colours as well as I would have liked. It was really a lot more ORANGE. Fantastic morning really. Also attached is an example zombie apocalypse picture someone took.

good job nike.
Today is Wednesday. A weekday. People are supposed to be in school or at work.
But not everyone.
For when the great Nike releases 500 places for the Human Race, who could afford to miss it? Ah, paperwork and good grades can wait, for who would miss the opportunity to spend, yes spend $20 to run a 10K race!
Sarcasm to mask my disappointment. i was at Wisma today, bright and early - 11am! Expecting the queue to maybe start during or after lunch when people have their lunch breaks and school ends, i thought it wouldn't much of a problem getting registered. I was so wrong.
Had a lift from mum and dad who dropped wes in town, and i walked from the back of wisma. seeing a queue, i thought "maybe this is where it starts" and i go to ask the guy at the end. And he tells me to get a queue number from the front first. So i begin to walk around the side and voila! the queue sure looked a lot longer out front than at the back. amused, i just had to take a photo - observe my dear anngoiings, the power of marketing.
I wasn't going to wait, so thankfully my parents were still around and i hitched a ride back again haha!
But good job Nike.
In other news, met up with Ben before he flies back to London!
Meeting with these guys, it's like we're still in army haha. Sure, the hair's slightly longer, and there's no book-in-blues, but somehow, everyone still looks and feels the same. As usual, Eug bore the brunt of the jokes.Sakae plate count = 50+++
And finally - Josh is at it again!
For more cousinly love, go facebook pls!

update!
My usual photo update!
Finally i got to watch Up! All in all it was pretty good - i liked it alot - though jon had to be a sour grape and spoil the whole thing by comparing it with older pixar films. But it was SQUIRREL good.
(the UP! laggards minus denise and winston)
Then birthday parties galore! Recess week ushered in not one but two birthdays!! Kevin managed to borrow his brother's Guitar Hero so we had a nice "quiet" friday evening. Calvin unleashed his inner rock star - haha wish i had the video!
(rock on!)
And then on Sunday it was yang's law musical - i must say i went away quite satisfied. i didn't really expect much, but it surpassed my expectations by quite a bit! Although some parts were draggy.
But like I said... what are some of them doing, studying law! Haha...
(colour coded for the evening!)
And finally, Monday evening! Cousins dayout in :)
Unfortunately yang's board games didn't quite erm.. work. one game had play-dough and the play-dough had kinda hardened... then the other was a little too complicated. so good thing we had the xbox! Haha...
And look who joined us from a country far far away!
Lincoln kinda lost a few too many fifa matches to yang... and asher will want to make claims soon lol!

they lied, when they said the good die young
Whooooaaa ohhhhh ohhhhh...
Yes I guess it's time for another photo update!
August is over - so suddenly. I haven't had time to contemplate my birthday haha! But little blessings have come along my way :)
But let's try this chronologically huh?
First, a family dinner to celebrate mr yeo's birthday!
(is that a forced smile?)
(are they like this at home?)
(ah, this is more like the lincoln we know)
I rushed over from Allura - wish i could've stayed for their second set, but i guess blood is thicker than G sharp minors and 16th notes.
I do enjoy such family outings! Waiting and waiting for 2 anngoi-ings to come back so we can have a big part-ay.
In other news, BAYBEATS:
(blurred to protect our identities - totally on purpose, no fault of the camera)
Anberlin was awesome. and FREE. But i'd still kill (not literally of course) to see Dave Matthews in Singapore!!! Met up with some friends and another certain nick, and we basically hid at the back - if not i think we'd have been pushed all about. The view was better too!
And of course, thanks parents and friends for remembering what i couldn't be bothered to plan anything for:
(squid ink risotto!)
We basically had dinner at Buono, this quiet non-descript restaurant bar somewhere inside serangoon garden way. Good food, decent atmosphere and good company. Thanks mum and dad!
And thanks to friends who brightened up an otherwise dreary monday :)
