Youth Day
I'm so glad to be a youth and get to enjoy Youth Day.
Party World looks rather sleazy. Yesterday was Westlife and Blue rush. Gwoar! All the boyband songs. Singing is more fun when everyone actually wants to sing.
The weekend has been quite weird. Seeing familiar people more often than usual. Especially Sunday and Monday, Sunday must have been "SA go Suntec Day".
It was actually interesting walking around town yesterday. Haha. Thanks, Manda, Veron, Clare, Evan, Evan's friend for a fun day which would have otherwise been spent rotting at home.
In the end, the journey to Tampines yielded no results. Decided to go Hougang afterwards and still could not find what I wanted. There's no other choice but to go try Jurong Point once again. Haiz. So far! Gwoar!
It's 5.56am and I'm heading for school.

The truth about the truth: It hurts... So we lie.

The Just Judge
There was once a judge who was known for his impartiality. He did not care whether an accused is the son of a political official or someone of high social status, he would judge them with no regard for their background.
One day the judge's son was speeding and was caught by the police.
He had to go for a trial and found out that his father was the judge ruling the trial.
The father said, "State your name."
The son replied, "Dad, you know who..." He was interrupted by the judge.
"State your name."
Even then the father had to be a judge and remain impartial even though it was his own son.
Soon the punishment had to be given...
"I sentence you to pay a fine of $500."
"But sir, I don't have that amount of money," replied the son.
Right then, the judge took of his robes and stepped down and walked towards his son.
"Son, don't do it again," he said as he took out $500 from his own wallet and paid the fine.

I don't know if this story is true, but what I do know this: God is a just God. He is impartial. But he gave His only Son to pay for all our sins. Our sins are already paid for and all that is left to do is to believe and to accept this gift of salvation. The New Testament was translated from the Greek language and in the original Greek, the word for salvation does not just mean that our sins will no longer be accounted to us, it also means salvation from every curse, from every sickness, from every suffering.
We may have wondered: If God is so good, why doesn't He just save the whole world? God is good, but He is also just. Sin must be punished. However, there is nothing we can do to pay for every sin we have committed. That is why God sent His own Son to pay for what we cannot.
For God so loved you. That He gave Jesus, His Son, His one and only Son. And if you believe, you will not perish but have everlasting life.

The Bachelor... and his pad.
One week has passed and one more week to go of being the master of this house.
This is not the first time my parents have gone overseas leaving just me and my brother at home but this time I feel that I've been given more responsibilities and I'm finally having an idea of how to live on my own.
I know for sure that I will not let my brother share a place with me when I have my own place. Haha.
I've also been given responsibility to take care of mom's plants. I remember that plants will grow more healthy if you talk to them. I seriously tried doing this but there was nothing to talk about. I believe that the environment plants grow in affect how they flourish.
I learned that it's not good to watch world cup in front of the plants. All the screaming must have spooked them because they're turning yellowish. Gosh. I better go and water them now.
I've given them names: Small Plant One, Small Plant Two, Small Plant Three, Big Plant One, Big Plant Two, and Big Plant Three.
Now I better go and feed Hamster One and Hamster two too.
Haha.
I slept in the living room today not because of all the school stuff I've conveniently left in my bed but because I wanted to keep the plants company. I even played United Live CD for them to listen because if talking helps, I'm sure music helps too. Thinking about it, I wonder if they turned yellow because I watch too much Singapore Idol?
