An Ex-Ordinary Life..

An Ex-Ordinary Life.. http://tomatot2.multiply.com/ Thanks for dropping by! It's about time that i updated this welcome message, long overdue since I've left Manila for about 2 years now. But this site continues to be alive and well, the successor of my old tomatot2.blogspot.com :) My life was pretty normal and ordinary, till i met Christ in 2000 and it has been quite an adventure since! lots of ups and downs, risk-taking, breath-taking moments even, sometimes quiet, sometimes painful and sad, but never a dull moment and never empty and always filled with hope :) if u thought indiana jones led an exciting life, wait till you live a life with Jesus! :)) Ready for your adventure of a life time?

May this short poem bring comfort to all who have needed to leave- even if just for awhile, with those they have loved and love What mean you by this weeping to break my very heart? We both are in Christ's keeping, and therefore cannot part. You there, I here, though parted, we still at heart are one; I only just in sunshine, the shadow scarcely gone.  What though the clouds surround you, you can the brightness see, tis only a little way, that leads from you to me.  I was so very weary, surely you would not mourn, that I a little sooner should lay my burden down.  Then weep not, weep not, Darling, God wipes away all tears; tis only a little way, though you may call it years.  --Anonymous   Though i have never met you in person, yet the all familiar feeling of disbelief and loss still hits me.

This thought has been on my heart, especially for the campuses of SIngapore, or even SG as a whole, where most of everything centres around being and becoming the best future employee or richest entrepreneur upon graduation such that even CCAs (co-curricular activities) have become more CV boosters rather than life enrichment activities. Doing well in life is good! but do so with the right reasons and do so remembering the brevity of life. We are afterall, blessed to be a blessing. As the lyrics of Hosanna by Hillsongs goes, i look forward to seeing a generation rise up to take their place in selfless faith as we all see the things God sees, and care for what He truly cares about.

The scene where Lucy was telling Aslan how her siblings did not believe her when she told them that she'd seen Him (though she ultimately did not follow Him but her siblings which ultimately led to a series of unfortunate events). slight alterations (coz this is from memory) Lucy: I knew i saw you! but they didn't believe me...

When the 2 disasters struck almost back to back, i couldn't help but think, what were the chances that members of your family were in those very places that they occured? but thank GOD, both of them are safe and sound now. Things with Cho Mar were abit more challenging as communication lines were less open than that in China. While we were able to reach our stepmom on mobile a couple of hours after the e'quake struck in Chongqing, we were only able to get news of Cho Mar only 3 weeks after the cyclone, and most of it by word of mouth.

Ecclesiastes 4:8, speaks of a man all alone, with neither son nor brother, and to which all his toil, lead to a meaningless existence. A meaningful existence entails 1) Having "sons", or people that are following after you, people to whom you are imparting to. 2) Having "brothers", or people that are walking with you, as you live out the destiny and plans of God in your life. People that'd fan the flame of God in you in times that it would dwindle, in times when the hottest object, can grow lukewarm due to the winds and storms of life. It is then, to reach the next generation, with others alongside you. Summarized in 2 words, a full life is this: meaningful relationships Relationships with people are the only things that we carry on to eternity (that is if they are people also in Christ), when all else will be left behind: our careers, investment account, money, ... http://tomatot2.multiply.com/journal/item/202/A_Run_To_Remember Sat, 24 May 2008 02:58:46 -0000 Broadway Beng 3 <A href="http://tomatot2.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SC0THgoKCCUAACj6E5E1"><IMG class=alignright src="http://images.tomatot2.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SC0THgoKCCUAACj6E5E1/IMG_3909.jpg?et=rDOZ37ScSVFGxo9ZhXCKRw&nmid=" border=0></A>Wrote a<A href="http://tomatot2.multiply.com/reviews/item/1/Broadway_Beng_3_Musical"> review</A> on Broadway Beng 3 in Multiply, my VERY first!

I think Zibin will really enjoy this!” I was right on. Zibin loved it so much he actually wanted to give a standing ovation! <A href="http://tomatot2.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SC0T2woKCCUAAEJAMkE1"><IMG class=alignleft src="http://images.tomatot2.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SC0T2woKCCUAAEJAMkE1/IMG_3907.jpg?et=pZqIb31HJK0NxhlcP8W2wQ&nmid=" border=0></A><A href="http://tomatot2.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SC0THgoKCCUAACj6E5E1"></A>While I couldn’t have enjoyed it as much as my hubby did because I was lost in translation for more than 50% of the show (unfortunately most of the Hokkien I understood was vulgarities), the show was spirited, infectious and very enjoyable.

If you belong to one of the very "jiak kan tang" group and have not been through the Hokkien-isation of NS days, i would not recommend this locally produced musical to you unless you are one that just enjoys laughing with the crowd. Broadway Beng, played by Sebastian Tan was quite a charmer, from the aunties, uncles, ah gong, ah mas to the young working professionals born in the late 70s, early 80s. Clearly updated with current affairs, BB was a very impressive piece of work, blending western influences with a Singaporean twists in songs. As the locals would say, this is a "chio ka peng" (laugh until you fall) production. But i must warn that like any Ah Beng, there is quite a fair use of expletives - not excessive in a way that they punctuate every sentence, but definitely something you want your children to hear.In fact, interestingly, at one juncture, the audience even protested ... http://tomatot2.multiply.com/reviews/item/1 Fri, 16 May 2008 04:48:56 -0000 Rights of A Princess - by Elizabeth Cabiling I came across this <a href="http://zellylizabeth.multiply.com/journal/item/64?mark_read=zellylizabeth:journal:64&replies_read=16">blog </a>when i was at Ps Ferdie's blog.

Hence utilities usage had been high as well as we would turn on our a/c just to cool down. Because of the intermittent hot and cold temperatures i.e. from the weather outside , to aircondtioned buildings and such, I started to feel unwell and began developing a throbbing headache. As such, i stayed in at home to do my revisions instead of going out as i normally would. As i sat down in the living room going through my notes with no one in the house around the bright sunny noon time, the musical wind-up snowman in my living room started to play for a brief moment - say abt 2-3 seconds. While i was initially creeped out by the sound of the music with no one in the house, i realised that it was quite easily explained by science...

We have a maid that's staying with us temporarily before she goes to her permanent employer and so this afternoon, she asks for permission to go get lunch. So of course I said ok and continued packing my bag to prepare for my exam in a little while. When I reached the door, i discovered that the key was gone and it dawned on me that the maid had taken it with her so she could come back into the house later. Now, my family has devised a unique way of positioning the key in such a way that we would be able to gain access to it from outside, and hence I do not actually own a set of the keys to my padlock, esp since I left for manila and abdicated my ownership over that set of keys. Now that the key has been removed, it means that i have NO means of getting OUT of the house. By this time, it was already 40mins to my exams.

The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. It is also surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to its discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to ta... http://tomatot2.multiply.com/journal/item/194/Public_Administration_Humour_-_New_Element_on_Periodic_Table Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:42:49 -0000 Treasures from the Past! :) I can't believe I found these after all these years while trying to search for my old piggy bank!

The draft document – the result of weeks of consultations with thousands of parents, teachers, principals and community members – also says students in kindergarten should have no homework other than reading with or talking to their parents.

You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug and you were given PINK tablets to see if you had plague. You know what SBC stands for.

Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
