Blame it on the Pigs
Been going strong on the Bible Challenge?
Somebody asked me why people told Jesus to leave the place when he had just performed a great miracle of casting evil spirits into pigs... (from Matthew 8:34)
Imagine you're a pig farmer and all your pigs just commited suicide suddenly. Will you welcome the guy who's responsible for it? What if you also rear some other animals (like sheep, chicken, cows, and all the "old mcdonald" stuffs)?
If you have questions on your readings, sms me (93891474)! I'll be more than happy to respond. And don't forget to log in to The Bible Challenge (see left column for link).

Kids in church
3-year-old Reese:"Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen."
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am."
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied,
"That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
I wanted to stay with you guys."
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin,
the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime.
She would repeat after me the lines from the prayer.
Finally, she decided to go solo.
I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word,
right up to the end of the prayer:
"Lead us not into temptation," she prayed,
"but deliver us from E-mail.
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
One particular four-year-old prayed,
"And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they
were on the way to church service,
"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are sleeping."
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old
brother, Joel, were sitting together in church.
Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had enough.
"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."
"Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said,
"See those two men standing by the door?
They're hushers."
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons,Kevin 5, and Ryan 3
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
"If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
"Ryan, you be Jesus!"
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
He grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied
The boy thought a moment and then said,
"Did God throw him back down?"
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>
A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,
"Would you like to say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
hohoho...so cute.=p

Part 2 to my story...
Anyway, the moral of the story about the boy and girl being separated at the cinema is this:
Are you living your life having 2nd-hand relationship with God?
I mean if we just listen to people teach us about God (sermons / B.S. / etc.) on Sunday, it is like having relationship with God with someone in between...
Why not build up the habit of having Quiet Time daily? You'll find yourself very intimate with God...
All the best.

Days Of Our Pink Lives (4)
So, Evan's legs dropped off and all she could do was just lie on the floor, groaning. Blood began to pool at her amputated legs. And Horsey Ma, well, he's actually secretly evil, and he knew exactly what was going to happen because he planned it! He stripped off his Jon Ma mask, purchased from NTUC at $1.99 to reveal himself as................. Evil Sean and Warren!
Sean and Warren were conjoined twins. And they squeezed themselves into the magic Horsey Ma mask to scare people. The mask was magical too, because it could turn two conjoined people into one. Actually, Sean and Warren weren't conjoined at birth, they went to a hospital to get their hips joined. So, S&W began walking around the palace, giggling to themselves about the evil deed they had just done to Evan.
Evan on the other hand was lying on the floor, moaning in pain, but yet still thinking of those fairies drowned in iodine. She began to drag herself along the floor by her arms, still looking for the BIMBO Queen Angeline. As she dragged she left trails of blood, and as S&W were wandering around they saw it, and they were shocked. "Oh, no! Queen Angeline's going to kill us because the palace isn't clean!" So they decided to clean it up. However, both S&W had different minds, and they both believed that the mop was kept somewhere else. They began to fight, trying to pull each other in different directions, until, finally, their hip surgery gave way and they split up. So they both got different mops, mopped up the blood, and Warren was walking back to return the mops when he saw poor Evan, still desperately dragging herself along the floor in search for the Queen.
"Must.... find... Queen.... fairies... iodine...!" Warren heard Evan grunt. Warren's heart began to melt at the sight of this poor girl with no legs and a kind heart, and he decided to help her. As he approached her, however, her death rattle began to shake. Evan was vibrating and trembling tremendously, and she screamed at him to rescue the fairies because she was going.
Then she went.
Warren sat there, a little stunned at what happened, then he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okie-dokie!" So he began to search for Queen Angeline. He found her later, buffing her nails. He was thinking of how to approach her to ask for the elixir, but was afraid of her. So he sat there for 2 hours, thinking, and all that while Queen Angeline was STILL buffing her nails.
Finally he entered the room, but as he stood behind Queen Angeline, who was seated in front of a mirror, still buffing her nails, she looked up, saw him and began to scream. Warren was puzzled and wondered why, but as he saw himself in the mirror, he realized why. It was because his mind had psychoed him to believe that he was Warren, part of a artificially created conjoined twin, but he was actually Tanya! Queen Angeline's evil nemesis.
Angeline hurriedly grabbed a rainbow potion on the dresser and threw it at Warren, who began to morph into Tanya. Within seconds, he was a girl, dressed in a cute pink skirt with long hair and red nails. When he spoke, his voice was high and feminine, and in every sentence there were at least 3 "like" and he couldn't think properly. Then his brain was taken over by it's real persona, Tanya Tan Shi Rui.
Tanya flipped her hair at Angeline, screeching, "Aren't you like, glad to like, see me? Finally! I can like, get out of that hairy body, and like, be a girl again!" Angeline was temporarily stunned, but recovered. She flipped her hair back at Tanya, and it is now that we discover why she was so feared by everyone. "Like Tanya like my like darling, like isn't like it obvious like why like I like am like not like happy like to like see like you? Like, I like hate like you!"
They continued in this strain for the next few days, flipping their hair, comparing nails, who had longer eyelashes, who had the shortest leg hair, how many combs each owned etc. Finally, the wizard who was stationed outside the castle had enough of the screeches and shrieks over comparisons that he entered the castle. This wizard, of course was Benjamin. Benjamin, was actually the secret bimbo King, and he was unhappy that people were claiming to be real bimboes, but none could actually be compared to him. Benjamin entered, stood between Angeline and Tanya and flashed HIS nails at them. He flipped his hair. He plucked out his eyelash. Smoothed his hairless legs at them.
Tanya and Angeline, stunned at such perfection gasped, and both realized that they couldn't be compared to Benjamin, Bimbo King, and fled, into the Far Desert where the hurricane was gathering strength. Benjamin sighed in satisfaction as he settled himself in the golden throne. He fell asleep, snoring gently, but yet able to maintain his perfect locks which complemented his eyelashes.
He was rudely awoken by urgent knocks on the palace door. He took out his magic wand, and swished it at the doors which magically flew open, and Amanda, tore in. In her hands was a long stick, which Benjamin realized upon closer inspection was actually a living thing. Amanda threw the stick on the floor and shouted at Benjamin. "You stupid wizard! I don't care if this boy scares away all the pigeons in the world! He won't stop jumping on the pigeon shit! I have no idea what's the matter with him, but you GOT to take him back!"
The stick, which was lying on the floor got up and glared at Amanda, its eyes being barely discernible. "You can't expect me to sit there in the sun daily with pigeons crapping all over me! Did you know that pigeos crap every 15 minutes???? At least let me have some fun," Samuel yelled at Amanda.
Fact: Pigeon shit is like liquid paper. When you squeeze a lot on the paper, the top hardens first, but the bottom is still liquid. When you exert enough pressure on the hardened top, the liquid bottom still can shoot out. A bit like basaltic lava.
Amanda pointed at Benjamin and told him to turn Samuel into a pigeon, and Benjamin was still blurry eyed from his nap, so he just pointed his wand at Samuel and muttered a few words. Samuel was then blown away by a strong, strong wind which took him so far away he was just like a little underfed, malnourished pigeon in the sky.
Amanda shrieked at Benjamin," I asked for a pigeon, not blow him away."
"Sorry." Benjamin waved his wand, and then Amanda turned into a pigon in a midst of bright sparkles. Amanda gasped, and began to complain, but because she was no longer human, she could only squawk and Benjamin was tired, and wanted to sleep so he waved his wand and Amanda flew up into the air with the same wind that blew Samuel away. Amanda squawked all the way, and because she was a pigeon but hated pigeons, she began beating and slapping herself because she was a pigeon and she hated herself.
After the wind blew Amanda far far away, she tried to kill herself, by jumping off an extremely tall building, but forgetting she had wings, every time she threw herself off she just soared into the sky, then tried again. So she tried again and tried again and tried again. Finally a jet plane flew by and she smashed into the pilot's window, blinding him and knocking him off his seat.
An impact as much as this basically killed her lah, and her dying squawks were observed by the airplane's passengers.
So to summarise what happened so far, the fairies are still drowning in iodine, and Sean's still wondering around in the palace.
Sean got lost trying to find the closet to return his mop, but as he opened one particular door, hoping that that was it, he was blinded by the sight of lots and lots of glittery bottles of panadol! Sean was blinded, so he basically knocked into every bottle, smashed it, inhaled the panadol, fell on the floor atop the smashed glass pieces and overdosed on panadol. You should know that his death rattle began to shake and blah blah blah.
To the less smart ones, Sean died.
Meanwhile, Kim who was actually still in the land of Pink Frosting overheard the Christian passerby saying that if you travelled in a jet plane, and got high enough, you could spot a magical banjo player on the purple clouds, and if you could persuade him to come down and play his special banjo music to the fairies, they could live again! So Kimberly, in high hopes had boarded a jet plane, which is the exact same plane that Amanda the pigeon crashed into and hit the pilot of.
On the jet plane.....
The pilot began to scream as he realized his eyeball was hanging out of his face, and he quickly grabbed the nearest thing, which was a hamster. The hamster squeaked like mad and began to transform into a fairy god mother.
In my twisted imagination, a fairy god mother is like a squeeze toy, you got to squeeze it to make it work. Or press it's bracelet that says, "Press me" then it would start dancing, singing, turning into a fairy godmother etc.
So this fairy godmother escaped the body of its skin, revealing herself to be Melissa! Melissa looked at the pilot who was still holding the hamster suit and grappling around on the floor for his eyeball and took pity on him. She waved her wand and in a rush of glitter, the pilot got his eyeball back, but at the same time got a magic tiara and glass slippers.
This pilot was Melvin, who screamed when he saw his glass slippers. "They're not ADIDAS!" He yelled at Melissa, who rolled her eyes, waved a wand, and gave him an extra leg because of his ingratitude. On this third leg, he was wearing an Adidas glass slipper.
Kimberly, on the plane spied some musical notes flying on top of a cumulomnimbus cloud and ran to the pilot's cockpit, where Melvin was still standing there on his three legs admiring his third leg and it's Adidas slipper. She took the throttle and flew the plane towards the cloud, and crash landed it there.
She got off the plane, followed the sounds of the banjo playing, and turned around a corner to find Shaun kia! Shaun was sitting there strumming his magical banjo and Kimberly gasped. Finally! A glimmer of hope for the iodine-drowned fairies!
On the other side of the cloud, the passengers got off the plane, and some, upon realizing that they could never get off the cloud because Kim crash landed it, began to weep miserably. But the wind that blew Samuel the stick happened to go there, and Samuel landed on the cloud. The strains of the banjo reached him, and the tears of the sad passengers dripped onto Samuel. The banjo music and the salt in their tears turned Samuel into a magical carpet, like an imaginary rolling pin kneading some dough. All the passengers' hopes were restored and they hopped onto Samuel, leaving behind Melvin, who was STILL looking at his Adidas slipper and Kimberly was gazing in wonderment at the magical banjo player.
What happens next? Could Melvin lose his glass slipper? Or Kimberly manage to persuade the banjo player to save the iodine-drowned fairies? Find out in the next episode of Days of our Pink Lives!

Days of our Pink Lives (3)
Anyway Evan shrunk and became like a normal girl. She thanked Benjamin the wizard and walked calmly into the castle, ignorant of the dangers that lay ahead...........She walked into the grand entrace hall of the castle, catching a glimpse of the Far Deserts. She thought she spied a little dust storm, but put that thought aside as she began to wonder how she was going to get the elixir to resuce the drowned fairies from the Queen of BIMBO land.
The hall was made of tiled, polished, shining marble all round, even the ceilings, except for an oil portrait covered in a black veil. As she walked her shoes would click against the floor, and when she called out "hello!", it echoed back at her, startling her a little.
Suddenly ruby red and royal purple curtains swished around her and the room began to spin, mirrors descended in front of the walls and she was stuck in the cylindrical dressing room formed by the swishing curtains. A "poof!" and a white cloud of smoke covered her from head to toe, and by the time it cleared, the curtains had risen in the air and was hovering above forming waves, such that when Evan looked up she was like in a red and purple sea. It was a beautiful sight though, and the mirrors all round it was beautiful.
A loud drum roll called her attention to the centre of the long hallway, where she saw a hole open in the ceiling and someone wearing electric blue tights descend. Gasp! What could that be???? Well, in fact it was the Palace Jester. Clad in electric blue tights, a bright green spandex top with a crown made of rubber. He descended on ropes which released him when he touched the ground. He then took out his necklace from his neck and put it in front of him on the floor. Afterwich, the Jester helped Evan stand up, who had fallen onto the floor in shock and was still recovering from his appearence. Her mouth was still hanging open.
The jester then gently closed Evan's jaw and introduced himself. "Ma'm, my name is Jonathan Ma. But you can call me Horsey Ma." After mutual introductions Horsey Ma asked why Evan was there. "I'm here to get this special elixir from the Queen of BIMBO Land. Where can I find her?" Horsey Ma told her to just turn right, make another right, after which when she saw the window she could turn left, then another right, a left, and walking up the stairs she would find a safety pin, then turn into the second door on the left she sees, take the magic elevator, then make another right on the 894th floor. Evan left the room with question marks swimming around her.
After getting past the first two rights, she got lost and instead entered an ornately decorated door. She opened it, and a musty smell hit her. "I think I smell cows," she thought. The passageway grew dimmer and dimmer as she walked further in, and it grew lower and lower. She was forced to crawl as she walked along, but finally the tiny tunnel grew larger and she escaped the gloom of it into a brightly lit shiny white room with silver cloths draped over the walls. There was a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
Evan walked around the room, touching the drapes and feeling the soft silk run through her fingers. She decided to try and get out of the room to find the Queen, but somehow, there was no door! She pushed the walls, thinking that she had to press a secret button or something, when suddenly heavy foot steps thundered, and she instinctively knew that someone was coming.
"Oh noooo! I got to hide! I got to hide! If I get caught, who knows what could happen to me!" Evan searched desperately, then finally as the footsteps grew nearer and nearer, out of sheer madness she ripped a large silver silk cloth from the wall, threw it over her and stood in a corner, hoping that whoever came in would think she was a fancy statue. The cloth was semi-transparent, and she dearly wished that the person would be not too smart and think she was a life-sized, life-like statue.
The door suddenly flung open, and Evan realized that since the door opened in, she was supposed to pull, not push! She hit herself on the head mentally for her stupidity. She couldn't see too clearly under the translucent cloth, but she could make out a slim figure throwing things around, and ripping the silver cloths from the wall. All the while this slim figure was screaming in anger and whining away. Evan shivered and hoped that the slim figure wouldn't come near her.
Alas! To her dismay, the figure loomed closer and closer, and Evan began to tremble. Finally the figure reached Evan, put steely fingers around her arms and threw her on the floor, thinking she was a stature. Evan hit the floor with a sound thump. "OOF!" She gasped in pain, then quickly covering her mouth, hoping that the figure didn't hear her.
To her misfortune, the slim figure did. The figure ripped the cloth from Evan and Evan finally got a good look at her face. She had a demure, sweet face, which seemed surprising for the angry figure whining and screaming previously.
The figure looked at her in disgust and said imperiously,"I am the Queen. Who are you to enter my realm and not introduce yourself. Quick bow to me, I am Queen Angeline." Evan was overjoyed! She finally found the queen. Now she could get the elixir and return home. Evan introduced herself and requested that the queen give her the elixir.
Queen Angeline looked down at Evan, who was still sprawled on the floor, entangled in the silver cloth. She then took out a map from her pocket and looked at it. Evan stood up and tried to read over her shoulder. To her surprise, the map was upside down. Queen Angeline turned to her and said, "There's one of you, so just turn left after you leave this room. " Evan was a little shocked, because the map was upside down! And according to it, she should be leaving right. She pointed this out to the Queen, who just slapped her ass in Evan's face and made an "L" sign, which Evan came to understand later as loser.
Evan walked out of the room, and immediately bumped into the jester. He grinned maniacally at her, then offered to take her to the room. As they walked, he began to tell her several jokes. He got a little thirsty, so he took out a little water pouch from his stomach, and drank it. Evan, at that time crying out in thirst asked for some, but was promptly rejected by the jester.
Horsey Ma was a little stunned when Evan burst into tears, stepped on his foot and began to cry. "You're so selfish!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled at him. Horsey Ma gasped. "How did you know my family sells fish?" Evan's jaw dropped. "I don't sell fish! I sell chicken!" At that, Evan got so stunned by the lameness, and groaned, "SO LAME!!!"
What she didn't realize that she was in the magic palace, and it would grant her wishes. The moment she groaned "So Lame!", the palace had a little earthquack and Evan's legs fell off.
(Footnote: The part where Evan's legs fall off is Jon's idea.)

I'm too tired. Will be continued soon.

Days of our Pink Lives (1) & (2)
I decided to write short stories because I'm bored when waiting for dance to start in school. I wrote part 1 and 2 already. I intend to slowly include all the KPCians in it, so be patient!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So Des was a girl who liked sugar, so she decided to move to the land of pink frosting. The land wasn't really pink, but got its name from the pink grasses made of frosting. Like the cadbury advertisement, you can see pink cows grazing frosting. (Mad Cow Disease!) Des decided to go live in a house made of pink frosting, so she bought one, made by elves. You made houses of pink frosting the same way African tribemembers make mud houses. You make it wet, leave it to ferment, then shape it.
Des moved into the elf-made house then sparkles started dropping from the ceiling, and she picked some up to eat them, but realized they were actually dancing fairies. She ate them nontheless. However, the fairies got rather mad that Des ate their friend, so they decided to call in their friends, the gremlins to declare Pink War III. The first and second Pink Wars were against Samuel, who insulted the Land of Pink Frosting by calling it smelly, and Kimberly, who refused to eat the exotic, but poisonous toadstools by giving a flimsy excuse that she was on a diet. So, they came prepared with marshmallow shields and swords made of liquorice, which just made Des hungrier. She plucked the weapons out of their hands, (by the way gremlins are about the size of your hands) and gobbled the marshmallow and liquorice. The gremlins were rather angered because they had taken years to travel back and forth between human lands and pink frosting land to gather enough sugar to create their weapons. Thus they started hurling exotic, poisonous toadstools at Des, who was rather perturbed by then. Des decided to just ignore them, and ignored them she did.
Then the fairies and gremlins went away, because they knew that they had to come up with a battle plan.
" DING DONG GONG! " An amazingly loud gong sounded at her front door, and thinking it was her doorbell, Des decided to open it. But nooooooo, it was Marianne H., standing there with Samuel's Cheena gong, because Samuel was currently being used by the gremlins as a scarecrow to keep the pigeons away from Amanda's house. So MH was her new neighbour! Des was rather delighted, as she and MH were old friends, having studied together in the secret spy school for ribbon makers.
*Threatening thunder booms* "It's going to rain! Run for cover!" The shouts came from the fairies, gremlins and other inhabitants of Pink Frosting Land. If you remember, they're about the size of your hands and smaller, so raindrops can be quite dangerous. MH grabbed Des and pulled her over to her house, which was made of chocolate. The moment they were in the house, both heaved huge sighs of relief. But a loud chomping sound made them freeze in fear. MH, the braver one, poked her head out of a window, and gasped when she saw a beggar. The beggar was eating her house!
"Please, Ma'm, let me eat your house, for I have not eaten for days," the beggar requested with her head down low. MH was about to take her marshmallow shield to clunk the beggar, but Des stopped her, telling MH to move in to her house, because after all, they could make hot chocolate out of the chocolate house. MH pondered for 5 hours before agreeing.After the beggar took a handful, little sparkles appeared and swarmed around her, turning her into a gorgeous princess. "Thank you Ma'm. I was turned into a beggar by the gremlins, because they tried to make me eat toadstools. I refused because they were poisonous, not because they were fattening, even though they are." The beggar-turned-princess Kimberly said. Kimberly was truly revealed by the magic of cocoa.
At that moment, it was still raining pigs and oysters, and several of the fairies who were swarming around Kimberly fell to the ground in gut wrenching pain, because the raindrops were about half their size. A passer by who was a Christian, witnessed it and began yelling, "Men down! Men down! We need a medic!" Afterwich, an ambulance arrives, blaring its horn and out jumps the resident medic, Daryl!
Daryl enthusiastically starts pouring iodine on the fairies, and because they were too small, they actually drowned. "OOPS!" He giggles.The Cocoa Princess Kim runs over to Daryl and knocks him on his head. "You lousy medic! How could you do that to the poor fairies???? I want you to go to the B.ags I.n M.edics' B.odies' O.rifices Land (B.I.M.B.O.) Land to retrieve the elixir that will revive them! Daryl gasped, "But it is fatal!"
The Cocoa Princess Kim ignores this last statement, choosing instead to whistle, which goes along a this beat: Whistle------ Whistle-- Whistle------------ Whistle--! Out of nowhere comes this rushing pile of bodies, who in a screaming mass yells "TAU POK!" then pounces upon the poor medic.From the wriggling mass of bodies, Kim closed her eyes to avoid the gory sight. She could hear Daryl's death rattle hissing among the enthusiastic screams.What happened to Des and MH? Well, they were standing there, struck on the spot and not moving. Who did it?Answer: The Gremlins. That was their battle plan for avenging the deaths of their fairy friends when Des ate them. But they didn't like MH because she agreed to let the then beggar, Kimberly to eat her house, which was made by their grandfathers, the dwarfs.
"Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What have I done???? No one can rescue those dead fairies again!!!!" Kimberly was dismayed. Moreover she had just killed her god-brother. "But who cares about him anyway?" Kimberly the Cocoa Princess tossed her hair and went off in search for someone who could travel to B.I.M.B.O. land to retrieve the elixir to revive the fairies. "And, I need someone to make Des and MH, my benefactors move again!" Kimberly realized.Thus she walked down the street, looking around for a "sign". She had no idea how to do anything, but her sharp eyes suddenly spotted a girl with a sign- " Will do anything for dog biscuits."
She walked up to the girl, who introduced herself as........ Marianne Lee the Bouncy Porcupine. (MLTBP for short).Kimberly explained to MLTBP that she needed someone to travel to B.I.M.B.O. land to get the elixir and something will would unfreeze Des and Mh. The moment Kim mentioned B.I.M.B.O. land, MLTBP began screaming in untold horror. "But.... but.... that's where the Queen lives! I do not want to go near her, for I cannot understand her." Kimberly nooded her head, agreeing, for she knew of the Queen's disease. However, as Kimberly began walking away dejectedly, MLTBP stopped her.
"Cocoa Princess, I do know of someone who can unfreeze your friends," MLTBP said. Kimberly simply grinned at her.So the arrangements were made and the next day, a giant named Evan walked down the street to Des's elf-made house and MH's chocolate house and she began blowing on them. The moment the wind started to blow, hurricanes in the far distance began to stir up in the Fluffy Desert. But Des and MH unfroze! "Finally!" MH exclaimed, "I was beginning to think I couldn't move." However, the giant Evan had humongous feet and ended up stepping on them.Kimberly rushed up to Evan, bellowing at her,"Why did you kill my friends? Now I have no one to turn to in my pathetic life!"Evan gravely apologised, offering to do anything to compensate.
Kimberly's eyes gleamed."Anything?" She asked gleefully."Yes."So Kimberly sent Evan to B.I.M.B.O. Land to retrieve the elixir, but Evan did not know of the Queen's disease or what was awaiting her. She took several MRT trains and a couple of SBS buses, complaining the entire journey there about the lack of space in the vehicles, not realizing that she was the only one in there.So, Evan finally got to B.I.M.B.O. Land and she was about to step across the moat when she looked down and saw something that made her smile.It was the wizard who had made her big!"My dear, what are you doing here? I thought after you wanted to become big, so that when you went fishing, you just had to jump into the sea the the fish would fly out!" The wizard was infinitely curious as to her presence."When I said I wanted to become big about 20 years ago, I meant that I wanted to be an adult. Not a giant. But I've grown used to it." Evan replied sadly."It's okay," the wizard consoled her. "I'll just cast the reverse spell!" He took out his wand, threw it onto the ground, jumped up and down on it, waving his hands wildly in the air and laughing even more than a hyena.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha.....!"So it was Benjamin.Anyway Evan shrunk and became like a normal girl. She thanked Benjamin the wizard and walked calmly into the castle, ignorant of the dangers that lay ahead.

Know Why You Should Study Hard?
Do you find it hard to explain to yourself why you should study hard for that Geometry test? You may wonder what it has to do with serving God!
One day you might become a pastor or missionary. But for now, the bare truth is that "study" is your primary God-given "work".
Why? We've got very good Godly reasons...
1. To improve your ability to secure a good paying job so as to support your family and bless the church and society.
Yes, money is a bad master but useful servant.
2. To fully develop your God-given talent so as to use it to benefit the people you serve through your future work.
Yes, the better equipped you are, the better you can serve.
3. To develop Godly virtues (like patience, diligence, wisdom, discernment, self-control etc.) through a disciplined study-life.
Yes, there is no other way...
4. To be a good testimony in school as a conscientious student.
Yes, imagine falling asleep in class...But of course, to the “kia-su” youth who studies 24/7 or the “last-minute” youth who studies only on Sunday (and skip church), the above reasons is no excuse for you to live a “God-less” life. You should put aside time daily to pray and read His word, and weekly to worship God in church, share the Gospel, fellowship with other youths and serve in whatever capacity you can...

Just another story...
There was once a boy who secretly admired a girl. After many months, he finally plucked up the courage to invite the girl to the movies. Guess what? She consented! They decided on the show, the cinema and the time. Everything seemed to be going smoothly for the love-struck boy. But bad-fortune finally struck! The boy realized he could not get adjoining seats to the show they planned to watch! Not wanting to give up the precious chance to meet the girl, he bought 2 seats on the same row, separated by 5 seats in between. So you could imagine how they interacted during the show. When they wanted to tell each other something, they have to pass the message through the 5 people in between. And when they wanted to share kachang puteh (Indian roasted peanuts), they too have to pass the cone through 5 people - by which time, those 5 people have also eaten their fill of the peanuts…

Its Getting Exciting...
Those of you who're around today in church will surely feel the hit. The banner's up (pray that it'll stay there till tomorrow), our beautiful newsletters were painstakingly printed and folded, the musicians and singers are oooo... so pro, and the sound people are not letting us down too. I look forward to a great time tomorrow!
