This post will be one without pictures. Awww, BUT i'll tell u more about MY GOD. So, to those interested in internal bliss while living it out on earth, here goes...

Last week mark the first week into me slacking physically, not any running at all except the IPPT on wed. Reason being, i had this flu bug which will evolve big time if i do not take care of my body. Right now, still having it, so i'm like into my second week of slacking.

So, i had flu, but i've already booked the IPPT on wed beforehand. had to go. Was thinking, 'Silver should be a no-problem, since i have been running for almost a month, at least 3~4 times a week.."

My static stations was all OK. In fact, it was easier than i supposed...

The real let down came from my 2.4 km. Had this really lousy timing, i could not even believe my eyes when i see it. I failed silver by 12 seconds. Which means lesser incentive.

I was pondering on my way home, 'How come i used to be able to do 11:40 without giving my best, and just cos i have a little flu, i'm relegated to the group whch only could jsut afford a pass?'

However, sth came into my mind, sth which i really thank God for... Many moons ago, i heard about a super fit athlete in Indonesia, who died because he was exercising while down with a flu. When i think about this, i can only thank God that i not only passed, but also that nth happened to me when i ran with a flu.

Still on the way home, walking from siglap, i saw 2 luxurious cars in a house, but also saw an altar to what the bible would term 'a false god'. In my mind, a Pslam began to form, so i penned it down:

Oh Lord, does it pleases You to see the wicked prosper,
and those who call upon Your Name wither?
Surely not, Oh Lord, since Your Name is Righteousness,
And desolation for the evil is planned before their time.

You are the loving father,
Punishing us not as our sins deserve,
But You mete it out in love
For those who call on Your Name with all their hearts.

I thank Thee Lord, For You have called me Your own.
In Your hands You hold the numerous stars and galaxies,
Yet You have looked and considered a mite like me;
a worse than nothing.

In have said in the anguish of my sins, "Who can save me?
To give me a peace calmer than glass surfaces?"

Then my spirit remembered my Lord, in whom I had perfect rest.
My soul recalls the freen pastures and still waters,
that which His hand had led me to.

When I think about His goodness,
and compare it to my plight, the plight i had led myself in to,
My inner being cried out for salvation.
"Oh! That I would once again walk in Your light"

You parted the heavens and came down,
You have seen my tears and my desire for You.
With Your mighty hands, You lifted me up from the miry clay,
The same hands which bled salvation for me.

From now on may I be found among the blessed;
In Your house of prayer for all nations.

Praise thee Lord!

I realised that penning Pslams is really one very theraputic thing to do. I started off being really cynic to being just glad that i am not called by any other Name.

My advice is, everyone should try writing this kinda things once in a while. haha. Although mine's not 100% original, but thats what i felt. Furthermore, i dont think that King David or any other Pslamist would mine me copying abit. haha.

FISHING TRIP POST

Ok, finally the long overdued post about my most recent yet not so recent fishing trip.

So, early in the morning, we set off by walking to East Coast Park where we see this...

(Walk from behind Parkway, turn left when you see the beach)

To guide you, my dear readers, i've put in a simple map. Just follow the way(marked in red) and you will arrive at Pasir Ris Farmway 2 (marked with a cross).

Arrived at the salt water pond. Aaron could not believe we took 5 and a half hour to trek there, instead of the normal 7 hours. Oh well, whatever it is, a 5.5 hr trek still deserve a good rest. =)

Joseph(not in picture) managed to bring along the water dispenser. My brother was so tired that he fell asleep filling the bottle of water...

The sky looked like it was going to rain, so we put out the pail to collect some water. Lo and Behold! It rained prawns! $10 worth of prawns! How do i know its $10? hmm i shall have to ask a good friend... haha



Now, arent these prawns nice? Would be nicer if they are deep fried with flour and egg though...
So, we started fishing, using the prawns(which could have been our dinner) as bait.

We saw this lady in yellow(how come shes always in yellow?), waiting patiently for the fish to eat the bait. But after a while...

... only the rod was left. So much for displaying patience. (or maybe she has to go off for awhile to look after some patients?)


Well, so happened that in the pond was this uncle living on a little boat. So, being curious, we kept looking on....

THIS.

Now, i was the camera man, that explains why the uncle only calling for Angela and Taiyong. Lets see how they respond to the desperate call for help...

.

.

.

.

Angela: .... (sit and watch show) ....

Taiyong: (Looks down)HUH?! Who called me? (act dumb) Aiyah there seems to be sth in the water in front me...

And so, the poor man got gobbled up by the gigantic shark. Whats left of the whole episode is just a sudden appearance of bubbles from underwater, which dissipated almost immediately. Must be the uncle's last attempt at calling Angela and Taiyong for help...

Up till now.... ZERO Fish.

So, a nice uncle pitied us and gave us a fish cos we told him that we were staying for BBQ, but how to BBQ without fish?

2 Hours Later...

My brother...

IRIS SERVICES: NEVER. period

While keeping in mind the fact that we have not caught any fishes, all these illegal fishermen have been putting us to shame and disgrace. This little gal in the middle wearing grey, she caught at least 5 or 6 fishes, which was INFINITELY the amount of fish we have caught(minus off the donation).

Thanks to the kind uncle, we could have 1 fish to share amongst the near 10 of us, but it was a big fish....

But! the fish multiplied into Fish Sausages and fish Otah! Ho Ho ho...

.

Want to know how big was the fish? Scroll down just a bit more...

Okay, there you go. Told you it was big right? haha.

Ok, this is the real size of the fish. lol.

There there, it rounds up our fishing trip. What a fish-ful and happening day =D

Disclaimer: The commentator is not talking sense. Photos have undergone edition, so pls do not believe fully. haha.

I've been going about my own relaxed life for the past 3 weeks. Indeed, its been a really really good time of rest, just the pure knowledge that i am not required to wake up early the next morning, this is just a revolutionary truth. Anyhow, I managed to spend quite abit of time with the Word. Man, I've never realised the beauty of Psalms even though I had read through it more than once. So, I was having a peaceful time reading Psalms when I came to Psalms 150, and afterwhich, graduating to Proverbs. Thats when this verse came about;

Proverbs 10:4 Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

Lol, I guess God is speaking to me about my currently very lazy hands, and legs, and head, and fingers, and toes, and...

Alright, so since King Solomon could collect/come up with so many proverbs, I guess I should start coming up with my own proverbs. So here goes the first in my collection;

Caleb 1:1 He who runs with his head up will one day step on dog poo.

This proverb by *ahem* me, is very true, especially when you are joggin on the park connector connecting my house to the East Coast Park. Every other day, I see the aftermath of well-trodden bio waste product from the mongrels. The one good thing about Singapore regarding this is, the cleaners are rather efficient, and the *&%^* gets cleared up rather fast.
