Something wonderful happened the other day. Might seem like a small thing, but it showed how great God is. I was on the way to do my ippt for the second time, the first getting canceled because of heavy rain. My window for the test was closing, and thankfully today had clear skies all day through. Or so I thought. As the bus reached the interchange, it poured. The sky was grey as ash. I had been praying for good weather and ive to admit the first feeling that struck me was a bit of anger. Just when i was about to do the test.. But as I sat there staring at the sky, I prayed again. Would you praise God when the going is good? Or when it doesnt go the way you wanted it to. For some reason this verse came to mind, i suppose since it was most relevant to me at the time


Elijah was: "…a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months."


Now Im no where near who Elijah was, but God hears all the same. By the time my friend arrived to join me, the rain had stopped. From torrents to a clear sky within 10 minutes.Right before my eyes. What's impossible for God?




I managed to finish my ippt that day..

Continuing we have..


This advert at my bus stop says " They will soar on wings like eagles - Isaiah " Interesting. I've rarely seen any reference to the bible in stuff like this. Wonder if the designer is a christian.


Now for things always make me happy.

Fish And Chips at Botak Jones. They opened an outlet at bedok now. Hurray. For six dollars I think this is very value for money. Not to mention its filling. Fish is crispy, sauce that goes with it is delicious. Only thing was that the fish had a little of a muddy taste that day. And the coleslaw is just..coleslaw.

Now due to the luncheon meat import restriction, ive turned to other alternatives. Spam! Ah albeit much saltier and expensive. Now they come with cheese and less salt versions. Sigh. Nasi Lemak will never be the same without luncheon meat.

And presenting, the simple but great tasting , Mee Goreng. This ones from the carrot cake stall at Banquet, parkway. Recommended by a friend, it comes in generous portions, and has a very nice taste. Warning though, its a bit salty.

To celebrate my aunty's birthday, heres at Parkway Thai Restaurant. We had the dinner buffet. While the food is not stellar, there were many gems among the dishes offered. Crab Vermicelli , Chicken satay and Basil Chicken just to name a few.Those were great. I loved the mango salad too.

My habit is always to take a bit of each, and go back for whatever passes the taste test.



I didnt take picture of the dessert section for some reason. The usual jellies, cakes, ice cream. With the addition of some thai stuff. Pretty decent.

Finally , yet another buffet. Dim sum at Dragon Gate Restaurant, harbour front centre. Here you enjoy as much dim sum as you want for about 18 bucks. The dim sum is way above average.
Now usually i come here with my army friends, and with the objective of making the establishment incur losses. We literally ordered the whole menu twice over with more in between, getting black looks from the waitress.

That pile of golden brown fried things are my favourite. Its chestnut jelly fried into a crispy puff. Think we ordered a bit too many this time though.

Ok on a more serious note.Certain things have happened, and ive to learn not to gossip so much. Its become a bad habit, and sometimes things dont need to be announced to the world.

And on a lighter one, I got my module : )! Praise God.

For some silly reasons i didnt get my module in the first round. Now im stuck nowhere waiting for friday where i hope the module gets available as a breadth. Ah well..I can only pray about it now. Meantime il start searching for backup modules.

Went to trumpet praise a few days back to get the film " facing the giants". Like most other sports movies, the storyline is cliche. But what's different here is that its a christian themed.The team acknowledges God.They pray.Its a pretty moving film and while most would feel its a litte far fetched, I think it brought its point across remarkably. Well worth the 26 bucks dvd.

*SPOILER* warning. But if it doesnt bother you just go ahead.





Up next we have what could be this blogs weirdest and most random picture. Its a dustbin! But look, it has a window in its side. Its a l337 dustbin. All it needs is a nice blue neon light.



Ok enough of that. Now we have "Hong Shao Niu Rou" from a stall by that name. Its found in liang seah street. Went with tracy and shimei after studying and we just randomly picked this stall. The beef noodles turned out to be rather good. For about 10 bucks, its a little pricey but it makes up for that in taste.




What could be better than home cooked food! Ah not too healthy either though.But I take great pride in my sunny side eggs. :p

Now for one of the nicest lor mee's ive had in a long time. Heres at the beach road food centre, the one below the army market.

In this bowl you;ll find quite a generous service of ingredients. Not sure what they are but they taste nice and thats all i bother about.


Now for some japanese at my Izakaya, ministry of food in marine square. Came here after the christmas service with anna and wenhui.First impression was that this place was a rip off of waraku. The items on the menu all bore some resemblance. But here they serve the food much faster. After anna ordered it came within 2 minutes. No joke.

Good service, nice presentation.cold soba came on a bed of ice and all.But alas the quality of the food wasnt there. The sauce for the tempura was bland and the tempura batter quite the same.For a slightly higher price than Waraku's, i was quite disappointed. At least the dessert partly redeemed them.

This was soft serve ice cream with green tea sauce and fried yam/potato pieces. They taste like the taro turnover from burger king but nicer.

The mango version of it.

Man the holidays are almost over. Im already thinking about the next long 3 month one. Think il do one special sem module then. 6 modules is just too insane, having to balance climbing and cell group leading too. And now ive this idea of building more impossi-bottles and tape wallets, and selling them in that glass case shop in parkway.Wonder if people would pay for those..Ok thats it for now..
