THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared .

Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakesand backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting,

"What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please,I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brickbecause no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said. "Herolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump inhis throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the freshscrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay."Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push hiswheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable,but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: "Don't go through life so fastthat someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" Godwhispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen ornot.

Thought for the Day:If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning you!God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun withoutrain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. (if you know me well enough, its one of my favourite quote)

One fucked up video I chanced upon.

viewer discretion advised.

Not for the faint hearted.

Not for kids.

Really gory.

Just something to share. Its a video on how CHINA ASSES skin animals ALIVE. That includes your household dogs. Tag if you have comments. I AM STRONGLY AGAINST THIS BEHEAVIOUR. I SUPPORT ANIMAL RIGHTS.

Yesterday was a long day. Mass, F3, meeting, meeting, meeting. Its just a normal sunday, but something different cuz I went home to cook for baby and prisca. Cuz I saw this cook, making grilled honey chicken and butter rice. Well, I cant say its damn nice but I give myself 70/100. Reason being, I didnt marinate before hand and ya, the skin of the chicken werent really crispy and not brown enough, but the taste was pretty good. Well, my first time making grilled chicken, not pretty good though, I usually have very high expectations of myself when I cook so ya. Thats explains why.

F3was cool. We played the 'IDIOT HEART ATTCK' and to all legion people, DANIEL IS SAINT MICHAEL'S CHURCH CHINESE YOUTH LEGION OF MARY IDIOT! lol. Well, it was fun though. I mean, F3 is always fun cuz we are in charge of it. haha. *WHATEVER.

Then we had our own legion meeting. Our new members joined us. Then went for curia, daniel joined us. Nothing much to elaborate. Then we had evaluaiton and plannings for the upcoming year, well, talking bout that, I must say, I am sorry if my posts had been directed to a person, I am sorry, I don wanna elaborate about this particular mammal or whatsoever, talking about him will cease here and will never happen on my blog. Period and for one last time, CALL THE SPCA!

Planning for officer's camp will start soon cuz I do not know why but to all that are going, please come with an open mindset, come with the attitude that you will go home with something, IT IS REALLY A CAMP THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST.


I guess this phrase has been excessively used and everyone has become immuned to it, but I assure you, if you really look into the planning committe, you'd actually noticed the people that are planning are not people of sane mind. The past camps that we have planned for, were suited for kids and the majority, this camp is built for officers. for leaders. for people who wants to improve themselves. for people who do not give up. for people who wants to know the true essense of legion. for people like you. for people who wants to step out and make a difference.

Especially on sundays, Serving mass, not enough people-make it work. help RCIA people do things-make it work. F3-make it work. blah blah..

Is it something you guys take it for granted or is it you guys trust me? I really do not know. As for altar serving, I know I am being taken for granted, not appreciated. Cuz with the little man power I have, I have to-make it work. Sunday was pathetic. We did insense with two people serving. But I trust daniel and I trust myself and most importanly, I trust God. Put it this way, I don't mind being taken granted of. At least a few of them appreciates what I do and tell me to keep it up. These are the people that makes me wanna work harder, and I don't mind working harder, for them for myself and for God. But of course, there are people who work the opposite way, who brings you down, shan't mention names here. period. well come to think of it again, I shall share with you guys how I became a altarboy. Think very few of you guys know.

When I was a young boy (primary 4) I was in F3, back then, it was xian fu (peter) running the show (now I'm in his position) and on sundays, f3 is all I am looking forward to. I go to church for F3. That was my sole reason. Then slowly, I joined the legion cuz everyone else did. I was the youngest. It didnt bother me much cuz the other 14 members were all my friends. BEAR IN MIND-14 MEMBERS. Then as you all know, the numbers only decend, hardly ascend. By the time I was in sec 2, it was down to 6. Then in sec 3, 5. And I took up the role of president. yes, til this very day. going back, I joined the chinese server in pri 5. And I was only taught a few things. The basic stuff. So whatever stuff that I know now, it was all self taught. Thus everything is correct, cuz i was teaching myself. So you see, the folks in my church have gotten very reliant on me on most of the things and I must say I am enjoying what I am doing, I love serving the church and it gives me the satisfaction more than anything else.

People in legion come and go, came and left a footprint that is not defined, not visible anymore. Do you want to be like them, I am not. I am here to make a change, to call out to more young people who wants to experience friendship in a higher level, I want to us all to remember 20 years down the road to say to themselves "boy am I glad I joined legion...." I will make a difference.

After going through so many years of neighbourhood schooling, my dictionary of vulgarities has been excessively filled up. Those that are in a dialect called Hokkien. So today I am spreading a few new school vulgarities that sounds a little more pleasant and a little comical, here it goes.

These are the three that my friends and I came up with. I am open to new ones so please tag! And I thank you for reading this post!

This year's countdown party was at my place. And I invited all those people who are important in my life to be present. The legion people and of course my baby. It was quite a last minute thing cuz it was initailly set at angela's place. But due to some reasons, which I can't disclose (lol) the party was moved to my place. And my mama prepared most of the food which turned out ok except the fact that the pasta sauce was a little to dry but still ok I think. *thanks mama, love you!

The few of them, Mei, chan, cui ling, monica came over to 'help out' first, in which there wasn't a lot of things to be done, than liew lian came. *don't know wear til so nice for what?! but liew lian really did help out a lot la!! thanks! will treat you durian next time.. haha. well den chan being Mr. nice guy, went to the interchange to pick the rest of the people up and they were pretty on time and they all arrived at my place soon!

Then we have dinner, chicken wings, nuggets, otah otah, hotdogs, pasta, sushi, not a lot of food but enough!! (: well then we dinner-ed, ps2-ed, in between-ed, blackjack-ed, blogsurf-ed, slack-ed, blah blah..

Then finally the time to countdown. 10, 9 , 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! so I think everyone wants to know my new year resolution-well obviously I cant tell you guys if not it wont come true. *evil grin. So yeah. Mine is pretty simple so yeps. Anyways, after countdown, we kinda slacked for a while more then we decided to play in between again and ya, I won quite a fair bit so yes. haha. Shan't disclose how much I won but its enough la. Period. Then after a while, Kinda tired then went to sleep with baby. Had sucha good sleep cuz I am so so tired. Woke up in the middle of the night (I don't know what time) then I saw most of them asleep. I think its pretty early in the morning already cuz I heard my birds chripping so ya, think its bout 4 plus...

Woke up in the morning, stone-ed like mad, still damn tired. The rest of them slowly woke up, we decided to have breakfast downstairs and ya, didnt know the bee hoon downstairs is so nice, never eaten before for the past 5 years living here so its a total new experience. haha. Then after breakfast, everyone went home. So did I. went home and slept somemore.

Woke up at 12 plus and went over to baby's place to help her family (my family too) to paint baby's room. haha, great family bonding, especially the guys, baby's dad and her brother, the guys basically. Painted the room and clean the whole room, now it looks like a room. haha I like the layout now better. went out for dinner with them and had such a good meal, maybe its cuz we worked so hard, the food tasted real good. Then after dinner we went over to parkway to walk walk. TOPMAN IS STILL HAVING SALE! may consider buying the old school green skinny from there. ONLY 59buck damn it. haha. went to giant. challenger. then back home!
