Twinkle Star...

this will be the 3rd time i'm typing this!!! cannot make it leh. recover post also never recover properly... AGRH!

anyways, supposed to meet for bs today... but we didn't. she's still busy with her overdue research paper. *sigh* well, i met joy instead. No, not for english lesson this time (haven't had english class for a long time actually - exams.) i met her at city hall to accompany her to go register for PROPER english lessons at the Cambridge language centre...

i passed by the istana on my way there... there was a super big crowd. then i realised it was the 'wake' of our ex-president - Dr. Wee Kim Wee... many representatives from different organisations were there, q-ing to enter the premise. there were more than a dozen monks, hundreds of school kids and hundreds & thousands of members from the public... wow. don't think i was born when Dr. Wee was in power... or was i? ahhh... dunno lah. i've heard quite a lot of praises for him though.

life is fragile. i could be dead the next moment... maybe some robbers will run down the stairs and kill me for my laptop! of cos we pray that such things won't happen while i'm still here... *heh* my point is, we have NO control over when we can die (unless you commit suicide which is against the will of God.) there are so many things in life we cannot control or choose - like which family we are born into, the siblings you have, your outward features (don't tell me about plastic surgeries!) blah blah blah... however, there ARE things we can choose for ourselves and we ought to make the best choice for these things. like which god to follow (there's only one true God of cos! that's our Father in heaven...) if he was a believer while he was alive, we should be happy for him - at least he's in the kingdom of heaven... where there will be no pain, misery and suffering!

and so i was in the bus... in this traffic jam... thinking about whether he was a christian.... i saw monks... hmmm.

met joy at raffles city... after going to the language centre, we started our amazing journey...

from raffles city, we walked around st andrews catheral to the padang... then all the way to the war memorial park... underground into the citylink... linked all the way to esplanade (the current art display at the main entrance is super dreamy lor... nice... i like... too bad no cam) then up to the library @ esplanade.... out to the waterfront... finally rested a bit... considered taking the boat taxi ride but no cam! then we walked over to merlion near one fullerton...

we finally couldn't take the heat any longer... took a bus down to suntec city.

i've been saving up... to buy a new phone. but i splurged it all for my godma's present... it's a swatch mothers' day special edition watch... this is the FIRST expensive gift i bought for her with my own money! hee. hope she'll be so thrilled... maybe she'll buy a new hp for me. *wishful thinking* heh.

went to newton circus for dinner after that... super yummy. the stingray was meaty, hokkien mee was 'wet' enough, roti john was cripsy on the outside and soft in the inside... *satisfied*

and so our journey ended with 2 stuffed ladies. *burp* excuse me.
