Ice cream saves lives + Random Pictures of the day! (watermelon edition)

I won't be posting for a week or so. Church camp.

Yeah my dad's fine. Don't worry about him. Thanks for your concern

My bro and his gf brought back ice cream from Ice Cream Gallery.... shiok lor. Got whiskey and raisin flavour, and alcoholic mudpie. Damn strong alcoholic stuff. DAMN NICE. Now i know why i was so down the past few weeks. Its not because of term tests. ITS ICE CREAM WITHDRAWL!

This is real: Everyday i look into my fridge, with the faint hope of finding some frozen proccessed flavoured milk.... but alas, it was not to be. Slowly i lost the will to live, as ice cream was my lifeblood. I thought it was chocolate, but even the chewy gooey sweety chocolatey stuff was not good enough... ICE CREAM KEEPS ME ALIVE.

Thanks koko for saving my life! And his girlfriend.

Anyway, i noticed i did not put any pics lately. Heres another instalment of *drumrolls* RANDOM PICS OF THE DAY!

Went to get tuner and pedalboard bag with Jason. Thanks Jason for sacrificing precious Red Alert 3 time to come with me! Went to Waterloo street cause i wanted to photo the temples there. Turned out the there was nothing much to photo about the temples, but there were hell alot of pegions! The floor was filled with bird poop, but i bent down to shoot anyway.


Why are they all facing the same direction? So that i can take their photo! heh heh no lah they were following a woman who fed them stuff. Scary xia, i thought they will attack her and steal the food, monkey style.


Jason watching some Japanese hippie raggae/folk buskers. They were selling cds for $10. We decided to waste money and buy it. But he has the cd now, so i didnt get to hear it. Should be good.



World's coolest microphone stand. Period.


WATERMELONS!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111oneoneoneoneone


Finally, some watermelon pics!




This is the only one surviving. Everyone else died


The entire vine. As you can see, only one refuses to give up the fight to grow in Singapore's climate. Keep growing, my minion. One day you will be a good fine elegant adult melon. Good enough for me to eat! Muahahahaha




This is a very small one. Poor thing died young. R.I.P.




This is the survivor, 2 weeks ago. Look how small it is, it's shorter than my dad's rolex watch.



Pwetty Flower. Notice the dead buds. lol



The sticks around the vine attracts curious visitors like this lil' dragonfly. What they find facinating about the stick i don't know. They can stay on it for hours. You can always find them hangin' out. Theres also alot of other insects like ants, butteflies, moths and stuff.




This is the baby photo of the big juicy watermelons you eat after lunch. Can you believe they were this small??? Pretty cool huh? BTW this ones dead of course haha.

I will not be posting for a week because of church camp. cya!

Ben's first proper blog post + secular music + watermelons

Blogs are for ppl to talk about their daily lives. I don't have a life so i don't blog. But what the heck.

Came to school late. I slept only for about 3 hours, because i stayed up lated to write a boring essay about secular vs Christian music to One Voice. Got scolded by a senior for sacarsm. do'h. Sincerely sorry.

I'm too lazy to talk about the article. Here is just some main points taken from the ongoing discussion:
-Everything is permissible but not everything is benificial. Cor 6:12 (this is a verse in the Bible)
-Be wary of being "demonically" influenced music, especially shock metal.
-Nothing wrong with secular music as long as it does not harm you or others

Here is an article about the band P.O.D, who are Christians (but not playing in the Christian music industry). But its soooo funny. The author was ranting and rating about minor points about POD. He even mis-interpret some of their quotes. But there is some truth.

But come on: Little Nicky movie is satanic? Jimi Hendrix "bloodshot eyes and messing up song sets" were demonic attacks? (its drugs lah. Thats how he died.. Theres a book warning of the danger of confusing epilepsy and scientific diseases with demonic possesion). Calvin Klein? My cousin says: This guy needs a girlfriend.

Yeah its true that POD should not support satanic bands, use occultic symbols, talk bad about conservative Christians yet promote other "filthy (his words not mine)" bands. But bottom line, they are humans who make mistakes and sins. They are not in the Christian music industry, so its okay if they feel they want to leave God out in some of their songs.

My dad asked me why they can't remove their tattoos. And he's an expert on tattoos himself... surely he knows that those tattoos, even with the best surgery, will leave uglier scars all over their bodies? "then cover them," he said. Okay, i too think that they should not brazenly display their tattoos. But you can't hide your past, just like how born agains like Neville Tan(sic?) or Glenn Lim should not hide their past. Different issue altogether.


Okay lets blog about my day.

Went to school late because of afore-mentioned article. Tried my best not to sleep in school (only had a good 3 hours rest) but for some reason i only slept 15mins in biochem.
Bad enough. 15mins overshot. Will try harder tommorrow. keep it down to *close eyes, lean down, but still awake when teacher says something important*, and then to no need of sleep at all.

Anyway as usual didnt understand anything. ate lunch and dinner. Went to management of enterprise quiz. It was hard. Went home and blogged.

See? my days are boring. So lets blogged about something else

My dad is growing watermelons!!!!!

THEY ARE LIKE SO CUTE LAH!!!!!! they are as small as marbles! But many of them died for the cause :(

But theres this survivor which is growing. Can't wait to eat him. muahaha

My brother suggested writing a blog for the watermelons.

HUH!?!?! coming from my brother its shocking.

Will consider it. Probably after tests.

Peace
