2 Many 2 Count - ERP Drift

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Ang Mo Kio
Go to city many gantry
Can’t afford your speed too low
Fast and furious! (Kena!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Slow is dangerous (Aiyah!) (beep! beep! beep!)

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Toa Payoh
Please lah tolong, only Lorong
Not Expressway also tio!
Fast and furious! (Kena!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Spread like virius! (Aiyah!) (beep! beep! beep!)

Many many taxes danglin
ERP now is randomin
Keep your speed ‘bove 45
Or everybody Cashcard won’t survive!
Suka suka ERP on
Happy happy gantry can born
16 new ways to gope your lui
See already want to pui!

Gahmen say take MRT
Cos car is only luxury
Build the road for Fellari
Normal car will up lorry
Ji Pa Ban (uh!), Ichiban (uh)
No million dollars you Lan Lan
CTE is the place to be
Singapore road for VIP

I wonder if you know,
How they live in Ang Mo Kio
Reach work early, at 5.30
Spend three hours drink teh-o
Can’t be seraious! (wah lau!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Live like vampires (ouch!) (beep! beep! beep!)

I wonder if you know,
Where the gantry never grow
Where the lorry Never worry
Travel freely where you go
Pulau Bukom! (Don’t have!) (beep! beep! beep!)
Pulau Tekong (Huat ah!) (beep! beep! beep!)

on moi new look~

Took this on the bus after I collected the new specs from Yishun last Saturday and on my way back to office* on bus number 25 from Ang Mo Kio. Wanted to show it to my sis, who didn't go with my brother and myself to get our new specs.

Took this this morning in the office, with my new hair-do.

Here's me in the old specs, my "old faithful" who saw through thick and thin with me for 4 years.

My new specs

My old Specs

Side by side

All commented I look better with my new specs. Some say more "see boon"; hmm, i wunder if the old pair made me look like a pervert... :D

* to deal with an emergency. Long story, deserving a thread by itself.


on walking by faith, not by sight...

haha, Pastor Ed gave us the overview for the book of 2 Corinthians in church yesterday. He said if we got to reduce the whole book right down to the "irreducible", the "bare minimal", it can be summed up in one of his favourite verses from this book:

We live by faith, not by sight.
- 2 Cor 5:7 (NIV)


He made us memorise this verse too... So it's kinda stuck in my brains now...

on God's amazing timing

Last Saturday, went for my first Men-In-Covenant (MIC) session in 2008. I try to make it a point to go for the 6.30am prayer session, cos it feels so good to be together with fellow men to worship and pray to our Heavenly Father with the first-fruits of our time in the day.

The facilitator, Kirk, was sharing his burden to pray for the men this year from the 2 ending verses in Psalm 62:

One thing God has spoken,
       two things have I heard:
       that you, O God, are strong,

 and that you, O Lord, are loving.
       Surely you will reward each person
       according to what he has done.

- Psalm 62:11-12 (NIV)


The burden was to pray that men might know that their God is strong, and has the strength to deliver; that our Lord is loving, and loves us for all that we were, are and going to be; and that He rewards/corrects all our deeds and thoughts.

Pastor K.K. also shared before we broke into smaller group for praying, that the men in MIC are coming to a cross-roads. Even on that morning as the Lord led him to the passage in Exodus (where Moses led the nation of Israel to cross the Red Sea), Pastor K.K. reminded us again the ministry is "crossing the Red Sea". And he jokingly reminded us, when the Israelites crossed, it was not straight into the promised land. Instead they wandered around the desert for 40 years. :p So "better pray hard for the men" ah!

The amazing thing was that I was reading psalm 62* just the day before. Am just marvelling at the timing. I took this as a sign that God is moving in this ministry, and prayed together with the brothers.

But the story didn't end there. For that Saturday, the psalms I was supposed to read through were Psalm 65 and 66. What joy springs forth in my heart, even as I read about my God "who hear prayer", and who "forgave us our transgressions", when "we were overwhelmed by sins"!^ In ending, consider this:

"Come and listen, all you who fear God;
       let me tell you what he has done for me.

I cried out to him with my mouth;
       his praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart,
       the Lord would not have listened;

but God has surely listened
       and heard my voice in prayer.

Praise be to God,
       who has not rejected my prayer
       or withheld his love from me!"

- Psalm 66:16-20 (NIV)

-----------------------------------------------------

*As part of my "2 Psalm a day" reading planing, since the start of the year
^Granted, if it was Psalm 69 and 70m i'll probably be a bit** troubled. but hey hey, it's God's timing again...
** Nah, I think it will be more than "a little bit"
