With a timid voice and idolizing eyes, the little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said: "Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired."

"But Daddy, just tell me please!? How much do you make an hour," the boy insisted.
The father finally giving up replied: " Twenty dollars per hour." "Okay, Daddy? Could you loan me ten dollars?" the boy asked.

Showing restlessness and positively disturbed, the father yelled: "So that was the reason you asked how much I earn, right?? Go to sleep and don't bother me anymore!"

It was already dark and the father was meditating on what he had said and was feeling guilty. Maybe he thought, his son wanted to buy something.

Finally, trying to ease his mind, the father went to his son's room. "Are you asleep son?" asled the father. "No, Daddy. Why?" replied the boy partially asleep. "Here's the money you asked for earlier," the father said.

"Thanks, Daddy!" rejoiced the son, while putting his hand under his pillow and removing some money.

"Now I have enough! Now I have twenty dollars!" the boy said to his father, who was gazing at his son, confused at what his son just said. "Daddy could you sell me one hour of your time?"

Spend your time with God daily! :D dont lag spiritually! haha. God bless u all for this coming prelims/ promos :D

HI GUYS! hope y'all are studying hard now. i'll just post this entry on our dear prissy's bday and go off to study :)

so anyways, 21st aug was our dear prissy's bday. yes, we surprised her with a princess-themed party at val's house. (we all had to wear formal clothes and the girls had to wear tiaras. this was one happy party.. hope you enjoyed it, pris)

these are the westies at jurong east waiting to go all the way to simei, where val's house is. amazingly, the westies reached in time at 9. the easties (actually, just caleb) was the latest. the northies were 2nd.. hahahaha. so we were waiting at simei. and yes, we were trying to study. while waiting, we discovered something very interesting about this guy. chaos. he looks funny when he laughs cos his shoulders move non-stop. you can watch this funny video here. then caleb turns up in formal wear, to our amusement and his shock. the rest of us were intending to change later at val's house. here's a video of him acting like a fool while waiting in the mrt.

so we all went to val's house and started to decorate the place.

lots of balloons!

we would like to thank val's family for providing such a yummy dinner :)

the table was all set

here's the girls done after getting ready. now all that's left was to wait for our princess.

then pris came. sorry, the video is super dark. but pris is the one wearing pink, quite obvious. see the vid here.

so off the girls went to help dress prissy up. and then we give her the present. see what we got for her here.

the guys, in the meantime, were waiting to escort her down

here's pris looking like a princess

one shot of the girls before prissy makes her big entrance. here's the vid of her entrance.

and she gets escorted down the stairs.

and here, aloy appears with a bday cake and at this point, she seems very touched and shy. vid is here. then we sing her bday song! vid is here.

pris cutting her cake

the guys took lots of initiative; they're actually cutting the cake

we really didnt know what they were up to, but ...

they served the girls cake! so professional leh.

this is the boyfriend-girlfriend group. L-R: val, PRIS, soph

a group shot!!! guys L-R: aloy, tim, joel, chaos, jem, caleb. girls L-R: nic, anna, jayce, PRIS, soph, val, jan

okay, in case some pple might be wondering.. after this, 5 pple (tim, chaos, joel, val and nic) went to help clear up and wash dishes. to our horror, something happened and water started spewing out of the drainage and flooded the kitchen. well, it wasnt really just water. sediments came out too, in the form of many baby cockroaches (drowned). the mother cockroach was found in the toilet, where i killed it, hence earning the title 'mother killer'(thanks chaos) and the rest gaining the title 'baby killers'. it was really funny, with the guys rolling up their trousers to mop up and clean up the mess.. it was washing a 'giant kitchen dish'. sorry, to all those pple whom we refused to let come in.. we could handle the flood and we didnt want the rest to be freaked out by the drowned sediments :)

joel mopping.

one more thing: guys dont know how to wring a mop dry. but hey-joel, chaos and tim.. you guys did amazingly well as guys.. you'll be good house-husbands next time.. hahaha.

tim cleaning the floor

joel mopping. click here to watch a vid of him in action

val looking super tired after cleaning up

joel passed out. too much mopping.

then we went to play games! actually, just a game. called 'honey, if you love me, pls smile'. objective: to get pple to smile using whatever means necessary. they had to reply with 'honey, i love you but i just cant smile' with a straight face.

anna used a funny tactic to make jem smile. she sang a song while laughing.. all of us were laughing along cos this was so un-anna like. unfortunately, jem didnt smile. poker face. see the vid here.

these two: caleb and PRIS would laugh ever so often.

of course, things didnt end there. we went to study through the morning. most caught only a couple hours of sleep, just like the '06 june camp. study study study.

so in the morning, we woke up bleary-eyed.

some were still going strong

some just passed out after too much excitement in a day.

the mass of notesthen it was off to brunchpple left: anna, PRIS, val, jayce, nic, caleb, chaos and joel HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRIS!! SFC LOVES YOU!!

study hard guys.

nic.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY !!tomorrow.
AND, not forgetting, today is ASEAN day.

ah~, just a random post, BUT

PLANET SHAKERS CONCERT THIS COMING FRIDAY! 11TH AUGUST. FCBC. :)

"It is good to be a Christian and you know it, but it is better to be a Christian and show it!"
- a quote i got online. Well, lets be living testimonies! Study hard everyone! haha.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
i was studying physics, so heres a physics story :)

A true story.

A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students.
It had one question:

Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof.

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however wrote the following:

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell. (of course, our belief is that we christians dont-caleb)With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.

Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

It was not revealed what grade the student received.
