There are moments where you just have to drop what you're doing, whatever that's on your mind, in your heart to take a step back and realize what He has done for us. I'm having one of those moments right now. He reminds me that He is great and almighty, He is in control and only He gives us strength to work through our situations for His glory. Epic moment.

Thank you, Jesus. I pray that in all that I do, I will honour You.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear, and Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed.

// edit:

Thank you, Jesus, for strength, support and encouragement.

Dear Lord Jesus, please guide us and help us to focus as we study for Business Law and Money and Capital Markets (and Accounting). You are our refuge and our strength.

Amen.

How Great Is Our God.
Thursday, October 29, 2009


To be completely dependent on Him - I've learnt my first real lesson.
It was His grace that pulled me through; and the encouragement came from Him because He knows our hearts, and our needs.
Whatever happens, happens, so that He can be glorified through us.
Pray with passion and conviction, never with doubt.
Be a blessing and an encouragement to others, whatever state we are in.
He sees each tear that falls, and hears us when we call.

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever present help in trouble.

-- Psalm 46:1

You're an onion.

So strong a smell - it hits you as you peel the layers off, revealing the strong scents inside that makes you think, "Wow, so underneath that dry skin exterior, is that juicy strong smell that goes well with tuna".

Well, happy birthday Jared. I hope Hercoolies is doing fine right now and will be at least moderately attended to. He has mine/Cheng Hong/Yao Yun's numbers, so if anything goes wrong during 'nunchuck practice', we would probably find out.

Of course I shouldn't be wasting my time posting this and should hide my laptop somewhere unreachable, but I personally think that the 19th of October 2009 had been a rather eventful day. We made our own baby - sure, we got caught half way through, and suffered minor yet memorable shocking moments towards the end of the process. It was fun.

Since we are quite proud of this 'project', as the passers-by call it, I shall share it with you!

Warning: It is addictive.

We have observed you (with implied permission) over the past month or so and have deduced a perfect solution to your particular condition. Please, do not hesitate to execute our ingenious proposition below. We assure you healthier and more joyful days ahead.

Congratulations! You are now a proud owner of a
PET ROCK! This handbook consists of some suggestions to how you can enhance the adjustment process and relationship building between you and your new best friend, your pet rock. OORAH!





The partner in crime, with pink shades added on.



Our to-do list.



"WHY are we doing this, Christina?"



#1: Find rock.
I didn't know these existed in my backyard and front porch.



See my turtles!



We weren't satisfied with the rocks at my house, so we scouted my neighbours' houses. We saw one pretty good looking rock at my next door neighbour's pond. We decided to ask if we could have it.

There's me asking if I could have a rock.
"What. If a pretty girl rang my doorbell and ask for a rock, it would be a good start to my day!"
I look fat in the picture, btw.



Hence, began the selection process. We took half an hour to find the perfect rock.



#9: Get shoe box; #5: Make nest @ shoe box; #6: And possible habitual area @ twigs, paper, soil.

Picture on the right: Cheng Hong suggested to put in a jacuzzi. When I found the small container, he was complaining that the jacuzzi was too small, Hercoolies wouldn't be able to fit, etc. And then he paused, "Okay, stop. It's just, a rock."




It's squishy!



Soil. We found this at my front porch too! I never knew anyone in my family was into gardening *shrugs.



"Should we put more soil?"
"I wonder if this is my good angle. Would I look fat in the picture?"



We got our down and dirty to try to make a good nest like the birds do. Quite pass.



Nest try #1 didn't provide enough support for Hercoolies, which might result in backbone complications in the future. So we fixed it. Now he can sit upright!



#2: Buy eyes; #3: Decorate rock @ Hercules' toga (fail).
I coated Hercoolies with glow-in-the-dark nail polish.



Kantoi.

My mum came home.
Cheng Hong and I were upstairs at the computer printing the manual.
We left the table downstairs in a mess with nail polish, rocks, the nest, shredded paper, scissors, glue, etc.
JENGJENGJENG.

You have no idea, okay *sobs.



"Mummy, Cheng Hong's gay."



We left the house distraught.


Starbucks did an amazing job with their Iced Caramel Cream Latte! *excited

Satisfied with the purchased compensating drink that was really, really good, Cheng Hong was led to park legally in the Monash car park. As we got down from the car and walked across the bridge relieved, we smiled, "We made it!"

However, due to some unexplainable series of events at the entrance, Cheng Hong's arm hit my arm which was carrying the box. Splat! It flew and landed right smack in the middle of the road, the contents scattered.

We stood there, stunned.

GG.



GG @ basement.



But we fixed it.




#4: Give mullet (compromised).


Finally!

And there you have it, Mr. Goon - 12 simple steps to a healthier life. We have taken the initiative to start you off with a complimentary pet rock just because you are YOU. We want you to know that you are special and shoes are for wusses.

Given Name: Hercoolies Manlily Go'on
Gender: Male
Age: 2 months (1 rock year = 87.3 human years)
Date of Birth: 18th October 2009, Sunday

Height: 2.5 inches

Weight: 300 grams

Strength: 10/10
