Today was fantastic! I really enjoyed myself and a LOT more then I had originally anticipated! We had a whole group of people come today! I got to meet the HabboSoup gang for the first time and it was really comfortable! It was so refreshing for me, a refresing change from being behind the computer screen all day and night. I think I'm a little red from the sun though, but its more then worth it! LoL xD
The day started at 9am where we all met at HarbourFront MRT station. It took about an hour before everyone showed up, then we headed to the bus terminal to board the Sentosa Bus!
We made our way to Siloso Beach and found a vacant umbrella spot right in front. We had such good fortune eh! We loosened up, and some went to change to "fun gear" and swim gear and just messed around! Fallenx brought a volleyball which we played with. That was really fun lol. I even fell once, trying to hit the ball before it fell to the ground! Not bad man! I managed it! Got sand in my pants though but no big deal LOL xD
Ferdy and I whipped out our guitars and jammed some too! Orangesoda whipped out her PSP! Not fair man! LOL She had such cool digital entertainment!! xD
We got thirsty after some time so I went to get drinks for some of the gang who were around at the time, so I asked them what they wanted....In the end, orange soda for Orangesoda!! LOL And same for Jerz and BreadCrumbs! I got myself a water and refilled at one of the taps after I ran out...free water..just that its not cold but doesn't matter =D
After the beach, we headed back to mainland and went to Vivo City for lunch! We met Serena A.K.A Chillipeppa at Vivo and she joined us for lunch!
Let me state right here and now...
I am NEVER going to Vivo City during the weekend EVER again!!
It was SO crowded!! We took 15 minutes in the queue just to order a drink!! It is a real wonder how we managed to buy food too LOL
All in all, it was one helluva great day!! I believe everyone had a great time!! The gang headed to Orchard I believe, but I didn't join them as I had to head back to check on Sissy.
It was so cute seeing her snoozing next to my grandmother on the couch in the living room. She started following me around when she woke up. xD
Great day....definitely a great day!! Very refreshing, once again! <3 Thanks guys for the fantastic outing! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERDY!!! I owe you a present! *bows* xD

Today's been a great day! I started it off early, at about 9am. Mom and I went to get out haircuts and Mom got her hair dyed as well. We had breakfast at the hair saloon again, because the two aunties working there (who happen to be sisters) like to buy us food and stuff so they bought us breakfast xD I had a microwaved pie and a big gulp, from 7-eleven! Mom got a pie as well, and a hot latte!
After all that, we headed to Serangoon to scout around for pet shops. We headed to Serangoon Central but no luck. We found a pretty big aquarium though but nothing for "dry" house pets. We tried to head down to Serangoon North Ave 1 (I think thats the name) but we couldn't find parking space so Mom said "Forget about it, we'll just head straight down to SPCA".
When we got to the SPCA, we went to the cattery and all the cats and kittens were meowing and Mom and I wanted to take them ALL home!! Of course we can't but we really wanted to! I saw this kitten in a cage on the corner and I stretched my hand out to sort of mingle with her (turned out to be a girl xD). She stretched one of her paws out and gave me either a high five (high paw) or a handshake (pawshake). It was really cute! She had a sister in the same cage too, from the same litter, and they were just lying down together, chilling out. She meowed softly at us too. We asked the SPCA attendant if we could carry her and all and she gladly obliged. She took the kitten out and we played with her some. Mom asked her if she wanted to come home with us and I believe she meowed again too! We took her in the end! =D Her original name given was "Celina" but we changed it to "Sissy". My neighbour has a cat called "Missy" which is how we got the idea for "Sissy".
Sissy is 3 months old. very loving, and I think just loves being around people. My grandmother was saying to my mom that when she went to the kitchen to prepare her dinner, Sissy followed her to the kitchen and back! And just 5minutes ago, I saw her follow my grandmother into the bathroom lol.
I have two pics of her that I took from my phone, hence the terrible quality. I will take LOADS of pics of her with my camera in the days to come. For now, however, here are the 2 shots I took with my phone!

I've been listening to a lot of Jeremy Camp's music lately =D I may not be Christian but you know, when I heard the song "This Man", and watched a video on YouTube that had this song in the background, with scenes from the movie "Passion Of Christ", I almost teared. It really is moving. The song itself is beautiful...
Here are the lyrics:
In only a moment truth
Was seen revealed this mystery
The crown that showed no dignity he wore
And the king was placed for all the world
To show disgrace but only beauty flowed from this place
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
He held the weight of impurity
The father would not see
The reasons had finally come to be to
Show the depth of his grace flowed with
Every sin erased he knew that this was
Why he came
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
And we just don't know the blood and
Water flowed and in it all
He showes just how much he cares
And the veil was torn so we could have
This open door and all these things have
Finally been complete
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
From his hands
From his hands
From his hands
From his hands
From his hands

Before I start my entry, let me give a friendly warning that this post is not 100% friendly. My intentions in this entry are in NO way meant to offend ANYONE. These are my own opinions and reflect nobody elses. I am an atheist, therefore my stand is as such. I have nothing against religion and have nothing but the highest respect for all my friends' and everyone else's beliefs.I just read in today's "Straits Times", that a muslim woman who teaches in a British school in England was suspended for refuses to remove her veil when inside the school premises. The woman explained that she took off the veil in class but wore it in front of men. The school THEN claimed that her statement, "wearing the veil in front of men", is gender discrimination.
On a seperate note, a Christian woman who just completed training as a stewardess with British Airways (BA), was asked to remove her cross when working. She intends to sue BA for religious discrimination.
what bugs me about the above two scenes, is how religion is always being the cause of problems. Look at the Pope for example. Recently, he said some things about the muslim religion and the muslim religious leaders got angry about it.
What did the muslims do? Check it out for yourself
here.
Had a look?
They killed an innocent Christian to show their anger in protest of the Pope's speech about Islam!! Is KILLING nessesary to make a point? OF COURSE NOT!!
Quote:
A poster has been placed in many Baghdad mosques for the previously unknown group, "Kataab Ashbal Al Islam Al Salafi," (Islamic Salafist Boy Scout Battalions). This group threatens to kill all Christians in Iraq if the Pope does not apologize in three days in front of the whole world to Mohammed.It is extremely disappointing to see religion tearing people apart and seperating people. How people can be SO stupid as to think of religion as their whole world is beyond me.
I was a Christian at one point, when I was young. My mother and I went to this chapel nearby and we even got baptised. Even when I was a 'Christian', I never enjoyed going to Church. I found it odd and crazy even, to stand up and sing praises to someone you could not see.
Many people will have a lot to say in retort to what I just said above but I don't want to hear it.
My Beliefs:
I believe in doing what is right in life, following rules, and being the best that I can be.
If I make mistakes and commit wrongdoing, I am fully responsible. I learn from my actions and ensure they do not reoccur.
The most important unit in life is family.I respect everyone's beliefs and I feel strongly that we all have the right to believe in what we desire and to feel what we wish. I have Christian friends. I have Muslim friends. I have Hindu friends. I have Buddhist friends. I have friends of all sorts. However, I just cannot help being baffled by how some human beings in this world are so enveloped in a belief that they make it their whole life, hurting and even killing others in the process. It is also so annoying and pissing off to have a religious person condemn you just because you do not believe in what he does. It is a free world!! I respect your beliefs so it is only fair that you respect mine as well. =)
On a lighter note, I think Buddhism is cool. It isn't so much a religion as it is a way of life. I can't follow it even if my life depended on it LOL but it is very fascinating nonetheless. If you notice, you don't see buddhists killing people and starting wars or trying to create a revolution. You don't see Buddhists running around with Holy scriptures, trying to convert people. They welcome you if you choose to join them or to find out more.
There is a more religious side to it, like Taoism, I believe. I may not be 100% correct in my facts so I won't try to say much but I still think it is cool to see how people are able to meditate for like an hour or more at one go. I'd sit for five minutes and get leg cramps man LOL
Anyway, who knows how this world is going to end up. Innocent people getting killed for no good reason and such. I just hope that one day we can all find peace. I mean if you think about it, we're all in this one planet called "Earth" so we might as well put our differences aside and work together to make this one helluva awesome place don't you think? I know its "far-fetched" but hell, its a nice idea eh! =)

You come to me with your scars on your wrist
you tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn’t want you to see me cry, I’m fine
But I know it’s a lie
This is the last night you’ll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I’m everywhere you want me to be
The last night you’ll spend alone
I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I’m everything
You need me to be
your parents say everything is your fault
But they don’t know you like I know you they don't know you at all
I’m so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie
The night is so long when everything’s wrong
If you give me a chance
I will help you hold on
tonight
tonight
I won’t let you say goodbye
And I’ll be your reason why
the last night away from me
away from me
I've been hearing this song over and over again......................

I will get more soon! Music RULES! \m/
I'm still waiting to get the 2nd generation iPod shuffle! Oh yeah! I've been into the harmonica lately! I never could appreciate it before, but recently, after being reinstroduced to it, I checked out some videos on youtube and I started to really appreciate the instrument again! Like the guitar, you can take the harmonica anywhere and just play it! The harmonica and guitar together sound awesome! I'm hoping to be able to play the harmonica decently at the very least, so I can incorporate the harmonica into my music, together with my guitar! I wanna play stuff like Bob Dylan and Neil Young!
Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold" is the first song I plan to learn how to play! I've been reading up on websites about how you hold the harmonica, blow/draw and I had a look through some harmonica "notations" which are basically numbers with "B" and "D" attached for blowings and drawing respectively. The song is played on a diatonic harmonica which has 10 holes and are labelled 1 to 10. The notations basically just tell you which hole to blow/draw from, similar to how guitar tablature works. It's awesome!
I really hope I can pull it off! LoL Will do my best! I ordered a new diatonic harmonica (Hohner Blues Band) from eBay which should arrive soon! Once it does, I can start practicing! =D Will keep everyone posted here on my progress! Ciao!~
