What's wrong with this scene?

I've had some funny experiences the past week here are some pics I'd like to share with you guys. Spot what's wrong with them.Apparently somebody's been serving hotdogs in my bathroom. I know some people bake bread in there every so often


I have no comments on this, make of it anything you want. I don't even want to think where the water comes from.

That's right, I took this at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station linkway. Okay any normal person would look at this picture and think "Oh GAWSH!! The woman is nearly naked! I can't believe they would show such a promiscuous picture in a PUBLIC area!" and maybe some people would think "Oooh the woman is nearly half naked, heheheh..."

But guess what my mother thought?

1st reaction: "Oh my GAWSH! the woman is eating ice-cream on her bed!!!! The OUTRAGE!!!"
Indeed!! What would our innocent ice-cream and bed deprived children THINK when they are expose to such OUTRAGEOUS pictures as someone eating on their beds!!! Childhood obesity people!! And think of all the ANTS!! The horror....

2nd reaction: "She left the ice-cream pack on the FLOOR!!! Who's gonna clean that for her?!?!?"
SIN!!!! She LITTERED!!! In her OWN HOUSE!!! How degenerated our society has become to leave ice cream packages all over our houses tsktsktsk.

3rd reaction: oh hey, she's nearly naked, they really shouldnt screen this in public

So there you have it, give a round of applause to my mom=)

To Singapore with love

Okay, so yesterday was Singpore's 44th national day.

I had quite a fun time actually during the SL farewell especially. But I genuinely enjoyed some of the programs especially the songs( NOT the new ndp song which has the unanimous vote of being "interesting" if you know what I mean)Anyways when the song "Home" played, I did a short reflection on my time spent in Singapore since I'm leaving this place soon. Indeed, Singapore has been a won

derful home to me in more ways than one. I've spent half of my 16 years here now and there really hasnt been a place quite like Singapore I must say. It's not so much my family that makes this place feel like home tho, cuz they are always on the move and I always feel at home with them.

The education, amenities, environment and whatnot aside. What I've truly come to appreciate the most here are the people I've met and the dear friends I've made. They are the ones who truly make this place worth calling "home" and I cant thank them more for that.

Singapore will always be a part of me wherever I'll go to and I know I have a home here among the people. But I also know that I must make other homes for myself to even as i move from place to place. Each of them is unique. So indeed

this is home, truly~


Anyways, I had lots of fun at the SL farewell party too. I really want to thank all my juniors as well for making it such a splendid moment for all us old birds haha.

look at all the notes!And thanks for all your notes! I'll keep them with me for as long as I can so I can remember all of you always=D Thanks also, for your "Most Confident" Award haha(although I'd have much prefered a "Best Singer" Award XD, kiddin), I think the trophy is really creative=). All my blessings go to the SL council and the new EXCOs whom I know will lead the council to greater glory.

Yours truly, The Turtle KingXD

Pilaf anyone?

AAAARRRRRGGGHH I have a craving for Turkish food!!!!
Anyone knows where I can find a turkish restaurant in Singapore??

hahahhhahaha nevermind, being completely random.

Anyways, yesterday was my piano exam at Funan mall. Weeeeeeell it kinda sucked for a lot of reasons.
First of all I was SUPER NERVOUS, I can't remember the last time I was that nervous haha. My hands were shaking so bad I could hardly hit the right notes sheesh....

Second reason being it was the national APBEDPE program again which stands for:

Annual Penguin Breeding Engagement During Piano Exams

And OF COURSE they have to set all aircons to full blast for fear that the penguins would realize the effects of global warming or the hostility of a tropical climate and(here's where they've learnt a little Singapore mannerism) complain and do absolutely nothing including refusing to reproduce(I heard that nowadays the penguins are bullying their penguin maids to destress instead).

So anyways, there were other reasons to but I'm sure you have better things to do like admiring the polar bears I've released in Funan mall or cleaning behind your refrigerator, so I'll stop my ranting here.

By the way do turkish restaurants serve penguin meat?

Under the Dentist's Drill (III)

Went back to adjust my braces again today. Yay they're orange now!

Anyways I finally got all my teeth braced up. Before this, two of them were left free cuz they were kinda in a tough spot. My teeth should be quite straight in two months time. But before those two, months, GAWSH, it's tough to chew. Apparently, the dentist inserted some kinda cement like thingy on my upper back teeth so I couldnt bite together and interfere with the movement of the two teeth I mentioned earlier.

The dentist said that I might experience some slight "discomfort"

Now we come to what seems like the favourite phrase of the entire medical community, "slight discomfort". sounds harmless enough, like sensation of sitting on a remote control. I will now demonstrate to you how to use this phrase as the professionals use it.

"Mr Henry, I'm about to insert a 5 cm thick tube up your rectum and swirl it around WITHOUT using anaesthetics. You might feel some slight discomfort,"

"Ms Erika, we will have to bash you repeatedly on the head with a sledgehammer until you recover your memory, you might experience a slight discomfort"

Safe to say, the last time experienced such "slight discomfort" involved a hammer, a nail and my thumb. So anyways, I cant bite properly now and I have constant "slight discomfort" that feels like ten thousand miniature people ripping my gums appart. So I'm just on cloud nine right now=D

Home

What is the function of the Christian Christian church and who is it made for? What do you think? There are some who say that the church is only for holy people who live good lives to attend to meet with their holy God. Others think that it is a place for silly and cowardly goodie-two-shoes people to go to to avoid the harsh realities of life. And yet others think it is a place for deluded people.

Well amazingly, none of these are true. So what is the church for?

The church is not a place for holy people.

Here is the criteria for people who the church was made for, let's see if it's made for you:)

1 you have lied(white,grey or black) at least one time in the past seven days
2 you have stolen things before(this includes watching pirated DVDs and downloading music online)
3 you have had sexual fantasies/immorality and/or indulged in pornography
4 you have been jealous for other people's popularity/status/belongings/etc
5 you have been so angry you abused someone verbally or physically

If you have fulfilled the even one of the criteria above, congratulations! The church is made ESPECIALLY for YOU and you have an exclusive invitation given out personally by God.

I'll tell you who the church was made for, it was made for sinners. That means you and me.

Just as the hospital is meant for sick people, the church meant for sinners. It was never intended to be a place for holy people, they don't exist. Jesus said

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

The church was build for those who are broken-hearted, those who know they have no hope, those who cry out at night but nobody hears them, those who find no meaning in life and in themselves, those who are weak and tired, those who are plagued with fears they dare not face, those who are haunted by the past and have nowhere to run, those who have hundreds of winning medals but are still a losers in their mind, Those who have everything but know something is missing, those who are constantly surrounded by people but know they are lonely inside, those whose friends have left them, those whose loved ones have been taken away from them, those who are grief-stricken, those who can't seem to stop doing the wrong things, those who ashamed that they are downright filthy inside. Those who want to be truly changed from their current state.

Those who know that they are sinners

These are the type of people that Jesus came to save and the type of people that he built the church for. To give hope to the hopeless, to comfort the broken-hearted, to grant rest to the restless, to give strength to the weak and courage to the fearful, to complete those who are incomplete, to give love to all those who need it.

To grant forgiveness to the sinner. He will heal you and transform you from the inside out

That is what a church is and is for. So if you fulfill the criteria for going to church, what are you waiting for?
