The Pilgrim's Progress
"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." - Hebrews 11:13

Late Mr Kee
Mr Kee was a very harden person who had been rejecting the Lord whenever his wife tried to tell him to believe in Christ. But just recently, last friday night, he confessed the Lord Jesus Christ and accepted him.
Mr Kee died in the afternoon today. Thank the Lord he is saved and his sins are washed away with Christ's blood. It's such a wonderful salvation - to be saved at the last few days of his life. What if he had delayed it? What if he had said in his heart, "I can still wait for a few days." Perhaps the fact is that he is very old and very sick, and no doubt his last moments.
But dear friends, can you tell when will you die? This morning a tree fell and killed a mother while she was jogging! This kind of things may just happen to you and I. Are you ready to meet the Lord anytime He wants you?? Do you know where you will go?
You can email me if you want more details of what salvation is: carmenjiamin@yahoo.com
May God save you if you're not yet save. Those who are saved: always remember what great grace we have received, and that is why we ought to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength and might. May I add, to give our time fully and wholly to God, since Singaporeans are so kiam (stingy) with our time.
The one lying down is the late Mr Kee. The old lady on the chair is his wife, who was really joyous when he was baptised.
Happy Birthday to me!
This year's birthday is the same day as Mother's Day! So I got a cake (lousy Bengawan solo one, cos all nice cakes' shops are fully booked). And bought Mommy a BodyShop orange flavoured shower gel. She likes it!!!! WOOHOO! As in, normally she would accept willingly of course, but this time she came to me and said she wanted it, but just that it's too dear to buy for self. hahaha!!!!!!!
These are my pressies!
The yellow vase is handpainted by Shama. The mouse and cheese toilet roll by Anna (with tips from Chris, right?!?!), and the BodyShop lip butter from Chris. Haha. She got it when we were browsing BodyShop. I am using the vase to put my little pinwheel that elf got for me. Haha.
The Nokia 6288 is from Elf!!! Got it when he knew I was going to get the phone (I wasn't hinting him ok!?!?!?)...early present. Haha.
And the angpows by none-other than my parents! Muack!
Yay!!! Thank God for sustaining me thus far, and saving me so my life has a meaning now!! That is the bestest best present!
Billy Bombers experience
So the the other 3 musketeers and I went to a Marina Square last Friday, and we ate an expensive meal at Billy Bombers. Anna, Shama and I ordered Surf and Turf (fish and steak). They come with potatoe salad (or fries), veggies, and tar tar sauce.
Ok, here's the exiting part. We ordered our steak well done. But Anna's plate is a medium rare steak, a far cry from well-done. So we called a waitress. The conversation went something like this:
Chris: Excuse me, my friend ordered her steak well done. But this is medium rare. Can you change the steak for her? (Chris did you say this? I can't remember well. haha) [points to Anna]
Waitress: [looks to anna] Er...yes?
The rest of us pek-chek...Shama just said nevermind and starts looking around for the manager. Couldn't find one. The waitress called her collegue to help us. He has ears and understood. So the plate got brought it.
When it came out. Nothing has changed except that they TOOK THE HALF EATEN STEAK AND CONTINUED COOKING IT! Anna was frustrated and complained that it wouldn't taste good this way. So this time we were determined to look for the manager. Shama went to the counter to the only guy who wears a tie, and talked to him about the situation (in accented English, just to add to the seriousness...haha). He then got the plate back to the kitchen.
So his explanation was this: Normally they would just recook the thing unless the customer specified that they want to change the meat. (What the...).
When the plate came back, the end product is so laughable. They gave her a whole new plate, but with obvious exaggeration. The fish is bigger, fried ALOT more, steak new, A LOT of VEGGIES (3 carrots instead of the normal 2!) and tar tar sauce filled to the brim!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROFLOL!!!!!
Just do a comparison for yourself between the 1st picture (my plate, the normal one) and the 2nd (her changed and exaggerated plate).Either they are trying to earn extra brownie points, or they are exagerrating to mock our complains. Either way, we had a good laugh over the table.
