I'm gunna do a picture recap of my past few days..
Firstly, it's about my sufferings. I've been sleeping about 4am recently. So add 8 hours of sleep, it should amount to 12noon when I can wake up. But fo 3 days or so, the Painters who, as their job title suggests, were supposed to just poaint the block. but instead, they started Hacking the drain off at my corridoor. the Whole drain, at Every floor. And for at least 3 morninges, from about 9am, the worker would start hacking. and frisky would try to protect the family by barking at the machine whenever the sound came on. and there I was trying to have my beauty sleep.
I opened my room window, and looked the work going on below. This joker. he was taking his own sweet time to hack, taking forever to finish the stretch outside my house. he still paused to make a phone call with his moile phone. awesome huh. He didnt even know i was looking from up above. Muahaha.

This was taken during saturday servce last weekend. Min was being hyper active during service. she just couldn't sit still. fiddled with this and that. this is a candid shot that caught her by surprise she didn't have time to turn away.

And after service, we went for Benny Hinn's choir practice. Here's Hx's feet at a weird sgn on the floor. After practice. The songs are nice. I Love the Guys tenor High notes and Baritone low notes.

Jinyu was tired out by the end he caught forty winks at the mrt station.

This shot of mine caught the front of the train spot on. haha.

This is the centre of millenia walk. one of my favourite places in Singapore because of its boldly creative emphasis put into the designs and artistic feel of the mall.

Here's super despo Frisky begging for food. to the extent she rests her head vertically up on the edge of the sofa.

Today was a day at Pulau Ubin. I went along with Ken and his classmatesf for a bike adventure. Reached the island about noon. After a long journey to the east. Here's my bike. Tips for the rider. Bikes go for $4 a whole day for a reasonably good bike. choose well. Choose one with a at seat cushion. it looks noob compared to the slim ones, but it will literally save your ass. Check the brakes, gears, tyre preasure, stand and seat tighteners. Then the trick is to stand beside the bike, and adjust the seat to your hip level. This enables your leg to straighten when you pedal down each leg, making it many times easier for you to cycle. More tips. don't bring a sling bag. wear a pouch or backpack. HAHA. and bring a change of clothes.

Ah.. a nice picture of the hot sunny afternoon.. Ken's down the road.

We stopped at the first Quarry for a picture. Of course, the photographer doesnt get to be in the picture. And the picture with the photographer inside isn't nice. Duh.. So I wont be posting it.

So we traveled along the trails. And it started to drizzle. Then we went on to the end of the trail. There it started to get heavier and we zoomed back the trail to the hut. But along the way there, we took our shower, and arrived at the hut to towel down and rest. haha.

Our bikes in the rain.

Ah, Checking out the wild boar here in the cage.

Now, this one is funny. It's Ken crossing the road. yes. and raising up his hand like a primary school kid. He had some deal with the guys to have to do that, if not buy 2 drinks for some guys.. He chose the cheaper way out. Lol

Then we arrived at pub Labrinyth or something like that. They ordered some weird alcohol that went with green tea. A huge bottle to play. I only drank 1 dilute mixture. Then they played all sorts of drinking games that I didn't like to play. Dice, cards, numbers.. An the Karoke, only 1 or 2 sang nice..
I was saturated with the stench of smoke after that. With no choice but to share a cab home, and one of the guys threw up.
I took a $50 note in the morning. and it was totally wiped out at the end of the taxi ride. My dad's hard earned money, burned with just a day of fun. I planned to have enough to last for at least the next few days.
While I was there, I heard about some bad news of one of my dearest friends. And the club was too noisy to make a proper call. I was anxious to know about the person's condition and bring help immediately. But what could I do when I was there. Then other friends wanted me to go somewhere else in town after that.
After the whole day of time and money spent, I didn't feel happier. It wasn't meaningful. It was non-productive. The price paid was not worth it at all. I decided that though clubbing and pubbing was fun, alcohol drinks are sometimes nice to drink, but overall, it's not something that i will do very often. I'd rather spend and Sow the money elsewhere. I'd rather be at home with my family. Such a life is really meaningless. And i remembered God's presence, God's love. How could I exchange something so valuable for something so cheap and useless. Thank God for great and fun friends. But I'll commit to not beoing out with them till the late night. I'd rather be home sleeping. Lord help me.
I hate it when people dare stupid things, pressure peers to do meaningless things, then pay ridiculous prices for that, with no value added. And in the end, they just all get drunk, pay more money for a cab, and throw out everything they've paid for later on.
I hate it when people lie. They try to be smarter than you. What really is smart? its doing something that counts for eternity. Integrity lives on to that. And I strongly believe that integrity will take someone further than lies ever will. And it always works. Build up your personal value. How much are your words worth?
can life be more purposeful. I believe I can achieve so much more. With God nothing is impossible. I don't wanna keep going round in circles at the bottom. I want to do great things. Excellence is in my blood.
And my god-sis Fengru. She's one awesome sister. Haven't seen her in ages, but it's the speed of trust. Build your reputation. Thoughts - words - actions - habit - character - destiny! Make sure they're all in line.
Constantly Highier standards is a must.
Because I'm not human. I'm God-man!
Goodnight.
You won! 1:11 AM
