A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cutandhis beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists.""Why do you say that?" asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, butdidn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked onyou!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.""Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. "What happens, is, people do not come to me." "Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's whythere's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Wow, those that have not been to Da Vinci, I pity u. it’s actually just a furniture shop, or rather an exhibition place to me, that’s super posh. They sell super expensive, classy furniture, lights, paintings, statues etc. man, it’s super super super nice. Felt like a transformed princess there J oh yea, u know where courts is? The one located at upper bukit timah. It’s just next door. Go there one day! I’ll gladly accompany u. It’s an experience that’s unforgettable. I’m already missing that place. The only sad thing is, everything there is so high class that the sales person will just follow your shadow and seem to scrutinize your every movement. I broke free from the lady that was attending to my mum by excusing myself to the toilet. OH YEA. The air con just outside the toilets is SUPER refreshing. Goodness, it’s like having the air con full blast blowing straight at u...you’re the centre of its life. You love it; it loves u. best relationship ever. You two depend on each other for survival. Ok maybe I should stop my rubbish and I feel like I’m talking to no one but actually to myself. Well, it’ll seem like I’m talking to someone now. And when I read it in future, someone is talking to me. Gee, I’m lifting from the lit passage XD … But I’ve never had air con blasting straight at me…sad life. I’m making no sense at all.

it's all about choices. and i regret not going up today. it was such a great opportunity to reconcile back with my dad. but i kept telling myself there'd be other chances cos i was really scared(no idea what i was scared of though). well, i really hope there will be. no use brooding over the past. sigh it just doesn't seem right. the speaker was really good i must admit. she doesn't look like those intimidating preachers >.< she kept asking us to drink from the river that flows before Him. and i tried. i did try. but it was difficult, really difficult and painstaking. when i retreated to my bed, i tried to be as calm as i could. i tried to be as stable as a rock. i tried to talk to Him. actually, i DID talk to Him, just that it seems he's not responding. ok he probably responded but i didnt hear him. why? why? why is that so? am i too small for u? am i too unclean for u? are u angry with me cos i respond for altar call? or maybe i'm too insignificant for u to hear me. i'm just a nobody.

anyway i have a resolution. and i wanna fulfill it at least once before i leave this world. and that is to bring someone to know the great father i have. i wanna pray for him/her and touch them in a way or another. i want to be a living testimonial for the Lord. but that'll have to wait for now

i randomly am reminded of one of our leisure self runs at turf city. ok it was many of them. i so remembered the one where we had the sec3s(it was last yr) tailing us sec2 girls when we said we were going to turf city to run. it was SUPER funny cos like somebody exclaimed:" i SEE JEN'S HEAD!" then everything else that took place became a whirl since i was quite determined to run but it became so chaotic all thanks to our cute lovable seniors. but oh well, we side-tracked, went to macs, got some relishing food and took a walk =) hahahaha so that became our self run. one round of girls' route, along with our bags, food and camera of course. hahahaha

then there was another one where turf city was still a young new terrain for us. when we reached a 'private property' and the barricade with the STOP sign with all sorts of warning, we stopped short at our tracks. to go on or to turn back? what if we go on then kena caught by police? or what if somebody shoots us? but then if we turn back so mafan so short somemore must go up the super steep slope x_X..... and as usual, we had our famous crossie debate, which u know can stretch for abt 3hrs for just a simple decision as to where to eat :) so anyway, we decided that our run was more impt than our lives besides," AIYAH! die then die lah. no more nationals :D no more EXAMS!! no more stress we also get to perish as a team XD furthermore, we'll meet our dad sooner." HAHAHA well yup we lived. but there and then at that point of time, we were so panicky and it seemed like we were on an adventure. what's my point of bringing this up? i dont know. haha probably to tell the seniors how much i'll really miss them after nationals. after 13th april, u guys probably will stop training with us to concentrate on Os. after that day, we'd probably meet less, drift apart and not remain as close as ever.

to side-track more, as i journey more into running, i'll always remember this very particular runner that spoke words of wisdom. it was short, sharp and straight to the point, and relevant too since i was running. each time i replay the scene in my mind, more and more meaning gets extracted. it was one of the 1st few races for 2005. after abt 2km, the bunch of runners get spreaded out and u kinda have a running buddy. well, my 'running buddy' was this huayi girl. it was then very flattering for me. hmm, i was in front of her then. while fighting against my heavy breathing and her chasing, we chanced upon a singapore sports sch girl that well, gave up while running. she probably had a stitch since she was crouching down. wanting to give her support, i tapped her head and breathed out ," COME ON" i thought that was good enough. but somehow, at the corner of my eye and within a short period of time, i saw the huayi girl bend down, hit e sss girl's back and shout,"is this sportsmanship. come on, get up and RUN" she said those words with such conviction that wow. i was hit with those words over and over again. it just kept coming back to me. i concluded that it's how their coach coached them. to be strong and nvr give up no matter what cos it's "sportsmanship". what happened in the end? i heard that teo saw her crying in ahem, the arms of another man. probably a supporter. hahaha =/ what an ending. oh yes, the huayi girl finally beat me at the last part. but at the last of the latest part towards the very official ending, i beat her and a few other pple in front of me. dang it. i was too tired to look for her and ask for her name. she's a person worth my friendship xD

great, i've still 3 more yue du zhou baos to do. arrghh.. i think i'll do it tmr when i'm more pressurized to do it. i always seem to understand all the un-understandable chinese words while pressurised to finish reading it. ok i'm going back to reality of a student. running does teach a lot of life lessons. pity those that miss them out. take care! 3 wks and 3 more days! x_x

KELONG KIA ah... i know you're so deprived. stay at kelong all day long then suddenly come out look here look there and realise! there's actually such thing called books! wah then u super amazed lah then enrol at our sch since u stay so near mgs.down the road, cross the bridge, then jump down there, ah that longkang your house. so ah, u come into mgs right, then kangkang hao got such thing called exam. so i presume it's probably your FIRST time encountering it. even so, dont have to be so enthu right. goodness. i was so lighthearted when i came to my blog then i saw your countdown -.- grr hahahaha stupid kelong kia.


what the heck's your problem. i guess i'm not so much affected by your sms and your 'talk' on wed but i think it is to the others. you're bringing us down really badly. i wasn't that angry on wed as i agreed with u about us not wanting it. but u know what. you totally screwed it. if only monday could be replayed. i thought u did a great job on monday. why did u have to screw wed. u really shouldn't have said those things. it brought the rest down real bad. and for those who can say you're not at all affected by it, you suck. you have no feelings at all. on top of that, nobody seems to be here when i need to talk to someone abt it. nobody seems to care at what he says. i feel like i'm going through this by myself. guys, stop pretending you're not affected by what he said. stop brushing off it off and pretend that nth's happening. why not take what he critisized us as compared to chickens and weaklings positively. and pls stop saying u hate him. i mean, yes he might have been so irritating and keeps getting on our nerves. but eventually, the truth still prevails. he is our coach. we've just to live with it. i seriously hope he wldnt do it again tmr. cos if he does, i'm just going to break down and hate x. i'm at the verge of giving up. but pple, ultimately, i think we should not cry in front of him. we cant show him how 'weak' we are. at least to him. i think he's getting very stressed up

my desire for wanting to go nj has been reinforced today. shan't elaborate. nj rocks. their uniform rocks. oh yes talking abt uniforms. that quest school, queenstown i think, has uniforms that are so....identical? the guys' uniforms are like ac's and the girls' uniforms are like mg's. just without our nice badges.

i've a feeling i'm the ONLY crossie online now :D hahahaha i'm just SUPER konked out to study chem or chinese man.. oh well i'll sleep late lah. anyway training today, or rather time trials today, at CHINESE HIGH (hope that solves ur tag, val) was great! firstly congrats to all that got into the team :) u guys seriously worked hard and earned it yourselves. and for those that had trials today, congrats on one of your finest runs today! i think u guys worked doubly hard =) doesn't matter what the placing, timing or shit thing u did today, just know that you've done your best. i'm assuming u guys did lah..that's what every training is for anyway. i'm really really really really proud if being in this team, like really a lot. n the cheer? wow man :) though it was short, it was nice. we dont always show ourselves man..so e hwi pple shld be honoured to hear our voices :D hahaha.. i think the whole team did really well today! one of the reallyshowsthatsheranlikecrazy is selby! :) too bad u cant see youself or smth.. you know when we guys were cheering like siao for u at the last part, i could just sense the 'I WANT TO PUSH n transfer all my supporters' cheering to action!' thing but you looked so tired already and u were going at your fastestest of fastest speed. i thought you'd be happy enough at that pace but as we continued shouting at u, u gave a small shout and PUUUSSSHHHHEEEDDD all the way! way way way past ur limit of limits. and i thought that was REALLY GOOD. that's what i call the true spirit of fighting

all said, i still LOATHE HATE time trials. i wasn't running 2.4 with the rest but i still could feel the tension and anticipation in the atmosphere. seeing your determined faces and slogging out under the SUN, my relative since i'm so hot as well, woah. i just wished the whole xcountry team could take part in natls since you all really deserve it

sidetrack a bit: come for this sat's raceeeeeee!!!!!! cancel all other tuitions or remedials or whatever nots! then after the race let's go turf city steamboat and eat :D spend all our holiday money after that so we'd have no choice but to stay home and study during the hols to study XD ok i'm kidding

take care and God bless you guys with his over abundent love and peace
