Happy Birthday Sin-gay-pore

It's National Day. The Nation's 40th birthday.

Woke up early, at about 9plus... Went over to meet up with Jared and his mum for lunch.

Jared's my ex-camp mate. He has mild autism therefore he often repeats himself and when he doesn't understands things, he'll get very stressed and it can happy rather frequently. Army is a major factor and it makes his condition worse. Therefore, by God's grace, he has been discharged from the Army. It was a tough decision for his family. I met up with his mum a couple of months back to discuss these issues and we came to a conclusion that it was better for him to be discharged and to have a mark on his records rather than to have him stay on, have a long term mc and get himself more stressed up.

Jared's so much different and better now. It was a big change since i last saw him. And in fact, to be honest, he's a rather handsome guy. I hope that one day, he will find a girl or a girl will just find him good and take care of him. He's someone so naive. And i seriously do hope that people will not take advantage of him. Had lunch at one of the restaraunts at serangoon gardens. forgot what the name of it is, but i do know that its chicken rice is nice... think it's something like bao seng or something like that.... my memory's failing me. He didn't repeat himself at all. And he understood what his mum and i told him without the need to repeat ourselves. That's a very very good sign.

Went to his house after lunch. It's near to Ang Mo Kio, in fact, it's very accessible, just opp daikin singapore and a 2 mins walk into the small lane. One of his hobby, fishes. He has numerous tanks. Outside his house, about 8 for marine fishes and inside his house, about 15 for fresh water fishes. And it houses 3 sharks, 2 starfishes and lots more. Its like a mini aquarium. Stayed there for slightly more than an hour to watch him feed all the fishes inside all the tanks and i left thereafter.

Wanted to go swimming as the sun was shining brightly. Decided not to in the end as my dad didn't want to accompany me and i had to go all alone by myself. I ended up at home and in bed. Woke up only at about 8.25. turned on the TV and saw the president's car driving off from the padang and it ended. Didn't get to see the fireworks also.. but never mind, managed to watch it last week when i went to the Carnival @ Marina to watch the opening of the Singapore Fireworks Festival with Jenson. Will be going again on this coming sunday to watch the last round of fireworks at the closing of the festival. Anyone wants to come along with me?

My router's giving me problems again. And whenever my church mate, Henry, comes over, it seems that all is well and there's nothing wrong with it... Why do problems go off whenever you have someone qualified in front of the fault? Why does the telephone always ring whenever you're in the comfort room aka toilet? Why does the telephone stop ringing whenever you walk towards it and when you're on the verge of picking it up?

Went to watch The Maid with my dad, Joe and Jenson last night. it was a midnight show. I wasn't afriad of watching the movie due to the timing. but i was rather afriad when the show was running and when the scary scenes were being shown. i almost freaked out. well, luckily i managed to get out of the cinema alive and in one piece.. haha...

I'm planning to watch Charlie and the chocolate factory and Bewitched soon... Again, anyone wants to accomany me?? haha...

Tomorrow's family day. my friends from other camps are getting off. i still have to report back to camp. my off is at the mercy of my oc... i wonder if he'll give us the off... to go to the Carnival @ Marina.. haha...

I wish... National Day in 10 years time - Singapore's 50th birthday...

1) Singaporeans belonging to GOD! 60% of Singaporeans will be Christians.
2) A better country with better people
3) Homosexuality being accepted making it SinGAYpore
4) Mental illness will no longer be a stigma
5) AIDS prevention all around and low low rates of people getting infected with AIDS and STD's.

Cheers!

Pray for the Nation people...

If you love God... don't go against Him. It's clearly wrong to be homosexual. It is alright if people struggle with it... but to change policy making Singapore a Gay supported country, Thats completely off the scope of doing what God pleases. If you love God, stand for righteouness. Be careful of what you pray for .
