a long mrt ride POSTED AT 03:03 PM i took off from hougang mrt without deciding any destination. when the train reached chinatown i said to myself, alright, vivo city it is then. i was so engrossed reading the drizzt that i havent realised i got off at outram park, one station shy. hmm i thought that was a welcome surpise for my stupidity so i went with the flow of people anyway and transferred to the green line off to jurong east. i thought the ride was pleasant and a continued journey now to the red line should be fine. i got off at ang mo kio, decided to re-trace my journey to jurong east then to joo koon then finally to expo. at the expo, i was startled to see the screen flashing "overstaying". i was amused at it, not panicked so i went to the control room to have it checked. the uncle told me i took off from hougang at 2pm and then it was 5:30pm - why was it? i told him, yeah uncle i just travelled around. he told me there is a limit on how long one can stay on travel and needs to exit at some point. so i told him, okay now i know he just smiled and deducted 2 dollars from my account for "overstaying". lol. i ventured into expo hoping i could get myself into you know, some sort of sale, bazaar or something. i thought of my office shoes that needs replacing, but there was none. so, i just headed down to burger king, got me a nice croissanwich and a taro pie, settled down in a corner table, and continued with my reading until 7:30pm. oh by the way, i mused at the spectacle that i caught a few cuties stole a few glances at me. of course i smiled back. it was horrible though on my way home i caught the eye of a gay man staring at me the whole time. i shifted to another corner and he shifted his gaze to my direction as well. i got off two stations afterwards and rushed off. i cant believe though that i thought i lost him in a sea of people, then just when i was finished peeing at the restroom and started towards the wash basin, he was also there! darn. anyway, when i waited for bus 72 at the tampines bus interchange, i saw reggie and anne. we exchanged a fes stories then after a few minutes, i was finally heading home. that in all, nearly 6 hours on the road was nice. |

the tablecloth POSTED AT 11:06 PM The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve. They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc., and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished. On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high. The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet.. "Pastor," she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria. The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria. When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again. The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was the least he could do.. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job. What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving. The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike. He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison.. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in between. The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine. True Story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid Who says God does not work in mysterious ways. I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always with you, His promises are true, and when we give Him all our cares you know He will see us through. So when the road you're traveling on seems Difficult at best.. Just remember I'm here praying and God will do the rest. Pass this on to those you want God to bless and don't forget to send it back to the one who asked God to bless you first. When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this. Father, God, bless all my friends and family in what ever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen. |

... POSTED AT 10:54 PM i won't regret the things i've said. i wont say i'm happy because i'm not. i'm not gonna take my words back just because the norm says i'm being stubborn, silly, unhearted. i am in fact so full of heart, it beats normally but not feels the way we would have wanted it to. people are witness to how loving the kind of person i am. i used to keep it to myself, to a few of some, but now i guess it is my right to get hurt too, and for all peoples to know i am JUST THIS when i am this. people may change the way they think about me just because they dont like what i write. but they should me. lets close this chapter. im starting back to 1. |
