oh baby!

babies made my day! especially yesterday.. went over to Jotham's 7th birthday party. time really flies.. i remember when he was jus a little kid.. and now he's all grown up already! ha. (not as in "grown up" kind of grown up la..grown up as in "talk back to you rebelliously" kind of grown up. ha). But honestly, the little ones are still my fav. Hee.

Went over to jenny's place to chat up and play with her kids after the birthday party. Her daughter is my fav of all the little toddlers! she looks so much like precious moments doll! haha. but dunno why she normally shuns me.. or rather all guys. but tonight was special..she warmed up to me eventually. :) like they always say.. a bundle of joy... mad screaming energetic bundle that is.

here's some picture from that night

this is Raphael! my second love. hee. he fell on his face trying to step on ballons. poor thing. :(

the Quek family with the birthday boy Jotham in the middle. Samuel is the proud father gleeming. ha

this is my beautiful little girl! rachael! muck!

Looking at her.. how i wished i had a kid of my own jus like her! hee. well.. they all grow up so fast. gonna miss them at this age. sigh

Hey grace.. hope your night's a little nicer with those kidos photos for you ya. hang in there.. :)

was jus reading a asian gay activist website that i came across. sad to say.. the gay scene in singapore is very much "alive". Seeing how organised this gay society is scares me. Disscusing deep into policies and diplomatic impacts and legislations that is either for the gay community. They even organises events and gatherings, to attend gay film awards or even a 2000 strong gay cruise trip! how sick is tat!

the worst thing remains that this site heavily condemns the Christian community for pettitioning against gay rights in sg. They describe christians as hypocrites who irrationally discriminate gays and suggest that we take muslims as our "enemy" and conspiring in our private moments in our cell groups becos we afraid of the goverment.

At first glance... i find it quite a joke and doubt anyone would actually lend all these articles any credibility. However, i looked further in to the circulation of the website and saw that they hav a pool of registered members clocking over 200, 000 ppl!

i know alot of this number are "members" out of curiosity but that is still an alarming number. I can't imagine if Singapore was to give in to them someday.. i'll be so dissapointed with the gov.

In the site, they mention some Christian anti gay activist in our gov that are heavily rallying to ban the gay movement and are so far successful in their effort. Good job guys! We definately need more christians in the gov especially in the circle of policy makers.

I pray God forgive this nation for this grave sin that you warned us so long ago about and may our God continue to reign over Singapore and pour His wisdom on the leaders of this wonderful nation that they will not be blinded and conform to society. Heighten their sense of righteousness.. be they christians or not.. let them see for themselve that this gay movement is really only a decay of the worst kind in our society.

matt called just the other day.

and i thank God he did. He called all the way from Australia.. the way he described it.. he was standing in the cold at a phone booth making the call. Was really nice to hear a familar voice that was ever so positive.. ever so sincere and honest.

It was a much appreciated phone call.. pretty much timely as well. Funny how he called to say how much he really enjoyed spending time with my church band.. or my ex-church band rather.. and how much he was looking forward to come visit the band again when he comes back.

I was dumbfounded for a while thinkin of a response.. wondering how i am gonna explain something i've been trying to figure for the past few weeks to a concerned friend.

well.. i was just glad he called.. cracked me up with his silly jokes like he always do. Eased away some tension of how i was gonna give him a politically correct answer without dumping in my irrational and bias inputs. But i'm sure he understood.

Do take care my friend. really miss those simpler times. be awaiting your safe return. We'll go crazy doin silly things with weihwa and gang again. ha

Fall in Love with Olivia

Bought myself another cd this year. 2 cds in fact. But the one that made me smile was definately Olivia.

Born in 1985, Olivia Ong debut happened on an international stage at the tender age of 19. Born and bred a singaporean, discovered by a japanese producer and moved over to japan to develop her singing career.

'Fall In Love With Olivia' is her 5th album i think. nothing really special about her songs actually. In fact, 90% of the album are old songs, but there's this beautiful quality to her voice that jus captures me. It's light jazzy tune and clear voices adds a degree of credibility to the lyrics.

Classics like 'Sometimes When We touch' and 'First of May' were definately my fav tracks. love it so much that it's on repeat on my mind right now.

Feels like i'm in a different place.. away from all the bustle from work, away from responsibilities, away from expectations, away from dissapointment. Just the kinds of thing i was looking forward to.

Really good chill out cd. Highly recommended. Second to Corrine. Which reminds me.. tml night's her concert. sianz.
