God's simple touch.
101 %
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What is = 100%?
What does it mean to give more than 100%?
Have you ever wondered about those people who say they're giving more than 100%?
We've all been in situations where somebody expects you to give more than 100%.
How do you achieve 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's something that might aid you in your dilemma.
Let's say,
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented by,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 2 24 25 26
1st Equation:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
is thus represented by,
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
2nd Equation:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
is thus represented by,
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
3rd Equation:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
is thus represented by,
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
But, look how far the love of God will take you:
4th Equation:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Love Of God that will bring you to the top.
Amen. (:

Had National Day celebrations today!
It was super funzxz ;DD
Compared to last year's, 2008's celebration was a huge success.
-thank you organizers!-
Heh.
They invited an external band, some dancers from Chung Cheng High (Yishun), an ex-rvian to perform, and even the got the year4 chorale members to sing National Day songs for us.
The band's lead singer was not impressive, to say the least.
And the drumset was lousy lor, especially the cymbals.
TSK TSK.
The guitarists were also super act, super exaggerated.
AIYOI.
Hahahaha! :D
The dancers from Chung Cheng, they were not really oriented.
There was only one girl who looked as though she knew what she was doing.
The rest of them got lost either at the start, or somewhere in the middle.
Sad case ): 'cos that girl was really good.
I think she was the choreographer.
Speaking of dancers, they got this ex-rvian to come back to perform for us.
According to Pei Jia, he's her NCC senior.
He was super cool can!
First, he came out beatboxing.
Then he started to dance, freestyle!
Like, totally no choreography at all.
Everything he did was impromptu and spontaneous.
IT WAS SUPER NICE TO WATCH! :D
The ending was very cute, hahaha.
When the year 4 chorale members came out, that's when we started getting super high.
'Cos sometime during the concert, we managed to steal Jiayu's shoe.
During the singing of the National Day songs, Jiayu had to stand with only one shoe, 'cos the other was with me.
So 2E and 2D formed one "train", like, by putting their hands onto the shoulders of the person in front of them.
Then 'cos Meien and I were the front people, so we like held hands and joined the two "trains" together.
It was super funny!
2D was trying to make this kallang wave that went backwards, but everybody was like lagging.
So it didn't work out in the end.
But still, at the end of the whole singing session, we threw the vizers that the school gave us up into the air, together with Jiayu's shoe! :D
It stank up the whole place ._.
Gahhhh. Nay, just kidding ;D
After the whole celebration, Pei Jia, Tracy, Mag, Pengfei, Yu De and I went to queenstown.
Pei Jia wanted to go to queenstown library to makan, but 'cos Cafe Galilee's food is like super expensive, so we dragged her to the nearby hawker centre to eat first.
The food there is nice and cheap! (:
Afterwhich Pei Jia dragged us to Cafe Galilee where we had little snacks.
We left after makan and Mag and I headed to Raffles City to find Roxy 'cos I was desperate for a Roxy wallet. Pei Jia & Tracy went home.
So we went to Roxy, but their wallet collection's like super limited.
And Roxies are scarce in Singapore!
I don't know why lah, judging by the fact that Singaporeans are pretty much well-off.
When I went to Bali, every corner I turned was a Roxy outlet.
I don't get this manzxz.
We went to TopShop after that to try on stupid clothes, but then got tired of it.
So we went to the toilet to fix our hair!
HAHAHAHA.
I realised that actually we're both really, really, really vain.
:D
But it's okay, vanity is a virtue, it's commonly known as loving and pampering oneself!
Our last stop was Accessorize.
They have super pretty and cute coin pouches!
Things need not be branded to be appreciated.
So I'm not going to look for brands anymore!
Because brands aren't what matter, it's the usefulness of the product that takes more weight.
AND.
I AM SO GOING TO GET BLACK SPECTACLES ALREADY!
GAH!
'cos at the basement, there's this little cart-shop selling accessories and shades and spectacle frames.
I tried on this super nice pair of shades!
It resembles those that singers of the '60s wear, with a white outer frame.
It costs like, $39! ):
-looking for sponsors already-
I also tried on this pair of black-framed spectacles.
It looked super nice! :D
I told ya I looked good in black specs.
BAH, I WANT BLACK SPECS NOW!
Then we split up, 'cos she had to go to Orchard to meet her cellgroup and I had to head to GWC to meet my primary school friends! :D
I SAW NOL SWADDIWUDHIPONG! (sp?!?!?)
Omgzxz! It's been ICE AGES since I last saw him, which was in, p4!
'Cos the smartass got in the gifted education program and xferred to henry park primary.
He's from thailand, btw, which explains the weird name.
Met the guys at Mac, and decided to go buy tickets.
We watched Money Not Enough 2 instead.
Because a lot of people said that The Mummy 3 wasn't really good, and The Journey To The Center Of The Earth sucked.
So we decided to watch the Jack Neo film!
Hahaha, did you know that Jack Neo has his own studio?
It's called,
NEOSTUDIOS.Heheheh.
I'm going to tell you guys the storyline, so if you intend to watch it, don't read this part.
-STORYLINE-It's about this old lady and her 3 sons and daughter-in-laws.
So the 3 sons are involved in businesses.
The youngest son then got involved in a food poisoning lawsuit.
The eldest son was also involved, 'cos he was working for the littlest brother.
The 2nd son then got cheated of his money, so he lost everything: his bungalow, BMW, etc.
He had to move into a HDB flat.
So 'cos all of them were in dire straits, they all went to their mother for money.
She gave them all of her lifesavings, and even her jewellery and even wanted to give them her gold tooth to pawn for money.
Because her sons were deeply in debt, she followed her friend's suggestion to beg for money.
But she got caught by the social welfare department, and her sons got called down.
They scolded her, because they felt that due to this incident, their pride have been affected.
No face to see others already, so they say.
The old lady was severely upset, 'cos she did it for their sake, but yet was subjected to their scoldings.
She fainted, and was admitted to the hospital.
After she was released, Alzheimer's disease started to set in.
Her body was also failing, and she couldn't control her bladder and her systems.
So she kept passing out waste and wetting her pants all over the house of the eldest son.
He wasn't happy, so he called a meeting with the other two brothers to discuss this situation.
The sons took lousy care of her, and treated her like a thing, and not a human.
One son let her sleep in the toilet, to prevent her from dirtying the house due her inability to control her systems.
Another made her sleep outside the toilet.
Finally, they couldn't stand her anymore.
They got together to discuss again, the three brothers.
And decided to send her off to an old folks' home.
The eldest brother brought her to the home.
When she arrived, she asked the social worker if it was an old folks' home.
The social worker told her that it was a place for te elderly to get happy.
But when the old lady saw all the elderly people and their sullen faces, realisation dawned upon her.
She started crying out for her son, but he ran away.
She was so upset, she fell and fainted, in an attempt to get out of the place.
She fell into coma and got admitted into the hospital.
Following her admission, the 2nd brother's daughter got into an accident, and was severely injured.
She needed an operation urgently.
Because she had lost a lot of blood, she needed a blood transfusion.
But her blood type was O-, which was very rare.
Her parents both couldn't donate, as one had liver problems and the other was anaemic.
At the same time, the blood bank was also out of O- blood.
The 2nd brother's wife was desperate to save her daughter's life.
When she learnt that originally there was two packets of O- blood, and one was used for the old lady, she dashed to the old lady's ward and snatched the packet of blood.
The sons started arguing because the mother also needed the blood.
The wife was desperate, she refused to let go of the packet.
Just at this point in time, the mother awoke from the coma.
She overheard the commotion, the argument over who the packet of blood should go to.
"She's already an old lady, what's the point in saving her? My daughter's still so young, she still has a long way to go!"
"Are you saying that my mother is inhuman? She needs it too!"
"No! I'm not letting this go! I must save my daughter no matter what!"
After overhearing the conversation, the mother pulled out the tube connecting her to the machine keeping her alive.
And died, for the sake of children and grandchildren who didn't appreciate her despite her upbringing them, and giving them her complete lifesavings.
In the end, the daughter was saved, and everything was alright.
Even after the mother died, she helped her children to win Toto, 'cos the carplate number of the funeral van she was in came out top prize.
All 3 sons decided to combine together in an effort to start a business anew, and succeeded.
So it ended on a happy note.
-END OF STORYLINE-I cried bucketloads.
I mean, go watch it.
It's a really good movie.
Everytime I saw how the sons treated the mother, I got convicted and I kept crying lah.
My heart hurt for the mother :X
Mothers are beautiful. They're so loving. I thank God for them manzxz. Amen!Gah, even now as I think of how the old lady cried silently when the sons treated her like dirt, how she never complained and put up a happy front as though she didn't mind, how her son ran away from her when she cried for him at the old folks' home, and how she sacrificed herself for her children and their children, I start crying again T.T
I love you Mama! :D (my ahma)After the movie, the guys went to play soccer and we went arcading.
Shopping, then dinner.
And finally, home sweet home with my loving mama! :D
HAHAHA.
Whew.
I'm still looking for study partners! *hints*
