This conversation just came about between me and my friends.
Economy was one of my fav subject.

GDP,NDP, supply/demand and all that.
As we all know, America is entering recession. Whether the curve would be a 'U' or a 'W' curve, we do not know. Or the worst case scenario: a 'L' curve.

It has been said, when US sneeze, Singapore will catch a cold.
When China sneeze, the whole world will catch a cold.

Look at the times now. With U.S. trying to recover from recession, Price of oil soring with wings of an eagle.
And the third factor, China. Being hit by an earthquake and at the same time, they have to juggle with Beijing Olympics.

What will become of us in this world?

read up- 1 kings 19:1-12

In recent years, the spread of personal digital music players has resulted in concern about hearing loss. The design of the music players and their earphones has been the target of complaints and lawsuits. Long term exposure to music at a high volume has been shown to cause serious hearing impairment. In a sense, too much hearing can result in an inability to hear.

We live in a world filled with noise-- noise designed to sell, plead, seduce, and deceive. In the midst of this cacophony of sound, it's easy to miss the one that matters the most.

Elijah had listened to Jezebel's threats and the voice of his own fear. So he fled to a cave and hide. In the cave he was confronted with the overwhelming noise of wind, an earthquake, and fire(1 king 19:11-12). Then the cave grew silent and the voice of the Lord-- the only sound that mattered-- broke through as "a still small voice" (v.12)

If we are to hear God speaking to our hearts through His Word, we need to pull away from the noise of the crowd. Only when we learn to be quiet can we really understand what it means to commune with the God who cares for us.

In our "quiet time" today, let's make an effort to listen for the voice of God-- Bill Crowder

At first it felt that i had nothing to do during Christmas session. But little did i know that i actually had so many last min event. =D









As me and my friend were walking around, we saw this group of people doing carols and skits of Christmas. It was quite meaningful, not to mention that the song was very nice too. And while I was busying taking photos, this friend of mine was dazzled by the skit about the birth of Christ. She didn't even notice tat i was back from my photo taking and was standing beside her.

Well.. Thats the reason why we have Christmas. (=

Ain't they sweet? =D

Skit on the birth of Christ

Let me fast forward to the day of Christmas. =p Just when I tot i had nothing to do on Christmas, i was wrong. My phone rang and someone requested me to be there.

And they were all there! =D

Christmas Cake!

We had fun. Lots and lots of it. Hahaha. Guess we're just full of craps. Great Christmas with you guys! I personally don like crowded areas anyway, this place is just the right place. =D

What did we do there? If only there is a guitar, Da jie would play. lolz. But then again, she had her fingernails polished. So, we can just drop that idea. =p

Bascially we did nothing but talking craps. Trust me, its really crappy.

Whoo hoo~!

Guess whats that. Hahahaha its "Tang Yuan". =D

Mum said this to me this morning.

Mum: Ah boi ahz.... Tong zhi jie you dao le. Ni ah, da yi suei le hor.
(My boy, today is "Tong zhi" on the Chinese calender, you're one year older.)

Me(Thinking): Since you mention that i'm one year older, stop calling me 'Ah boy'.

Me(saying): Okie.

mum: that makes you 26 this year.

Me: huh? But i'm 24!

Mum: But the Chinese calender says you're 26.

Me: fine.. i'm turning 25.

One thing i don like about Chinese calender is they always makes me older..
And i have no idea why..

Okie, now i'm currently jobless in a sense, grated student and unemployed. Studies say unemployment rate is 1.9% this last quarter, and its the lowest for the past few years. I've been trying to get one, and I've been to a few of interviews. But found non that I'm interested in.

But this is something to thank God for. Seems like I'm taking a break from all these works, being in charge of two camps is tiring. Thrust me.. you won't want that to happen to you during your exam period. jiggling three balls at once, how stressful is it? Very.

And since its Holiday seasons, Christmas... New Year, not to mention birthday events. I really enjoy this month. Somehow i like the feeling that I'm busy, are all men like this? Usually busy with sch, busy with work. But this time round, Busy with friends.

Haven't really been meeting up with all my friends for the past few months. Sec sch friends, army friends, friends of friends.. and those living near my area.

Wonder if they're free.
