A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you.

Random Joke
One day an Indian boy asked his father why they have such long names?
The dad answers, "Well, son, it's tradition when an Indian baby is born for the father to go outside and name the baby after the first thing he sees ...
Why do you ask your brother, Two Dogs Making Out."
Morning Devotion
He said in
Isaiah 55:10-11
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
This actually reminds me of a song, Kah Heng likes to play on his guitar. I was actually humming the song along the way to work this morning. A kind of transient feeling overwhelms me
I read on in
Isaiah 57:15
15 For this is what the high and lofty One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
A Compassionate God who came to save those who are against Him.
It is hard to imagine those times when we think that He is like ultra far away and no where near us nor our hearts yet, He is near and close to us. I know this sounds damn idiotic but this is the feeling i having.
God is real.

Someone asked me yesterday after my basketball game,
Bear: How's Life treating you?
Me: okay lah...
Bear: ok is an answer for an acquaintance, not for a teammate of almost 20 yrs.
Intermission
I started playing basketball since i was 12.
I first started out playing in school and progressed to playing in my neighbourhood Community centre.
I had a motley crew of Teammates, let me list them out by their nicknames we call on the courts,
Shiwen,Meibao,Monkey,Ah Quah,Ah Hua and Nelson.
These 6 together with me played every evening at the CC courts without fail, Rain or Shine, Public Holiday or Exams.
We had a mentor then, His name was Dechang. We call him lao gou ala Monkey. He was like 5 yrs older than us. He is a very impt member of the CSC team. He often took time off to help us improve our game.
1 of my most memorable sessions had been a game we played in Serangoon Technical Sec School court. He took on the 5 of us. 1 on 5. He won. He later scolded us for havign 5 pple and not being able to win him.
He groomed us into the CSC players we later became. (Though due to some differences within the group, some of us din take part in the competitions)
1 game i remembered vividly was played in AMK. we were playing against a very good team in 少年杯.
Definitely 1 of those moments i remember for life. coz that guy made 7 3points in a row which earned him a National call-up.
And quite a number of our team was invited to Min Yi for training.
End of Memory Lane
so.. the convo went on as..
ME: 爱我的人我不爱；我爱的人不爱我
Bear: KNS. no need to be so cheem. WOmen as long as you have money, they will come
ME: Then die lo, no money ; no women ; nothing in life for me.
Bear: Yea. But dun go jumping into the animals enclave anymore. 1 skinny Malay guy jump in caused the white tigers stress liaos. You jump in, they will die of high cholestrol
ME: .... ... .... ... ... ... ......

1 game i remembered vividly was played in AMK. we were playing against a very good team in 少年杯.
I was playing double centre with another guy.
1 of the older players was outside calling for a 3point shot.
i stood on the free throw line.
Controller threw me the pass,
i laid it off for my other centre to dunk the ball in.
*Bad call*
The dunk flew off
I made the rebound
bounced pass to the guy on 3point line
He stood on the top of the arch
ball went swoosh
Definitely 1 of those moments i remember for life. coz that guy made 7 3points in a row which earned him a National call-up.

Random Joke
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. “What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!” he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: “You deny My existence for all of these years, teach others I don’t exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect Me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?”
The atheist looked directly into the light, “It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a Christian?”
“Very well,” said the voice. The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
“Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord Amen.”

At that instant the Atheist cried out: “Oh my God!…” Time stopped.
The bear froze. The forest was silent.
