seeking God simply
The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied him, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that thy will never be necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. whatever he may lose, he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately, and forever.

Exploring the Campsite
Today, my project group mates and i decided to go explore the place we are going to hold the camp at. and GOSH! it is really a deserted place! it is at ubi. have never ever heard of this place before till i did this project. anyways, while we were exploring the place, my friend needed a toilet!!! how unfortunate! As besides forests, there are really not much industrial estates there! After much searching, we found a public toilet but it was locked! n the keys were with the police coastguard. hence, one of our groupmates Joel decided to gather up his courage and go ask the police coastguard, whether could we use the toilet or not. however, to our dismay. the police said no!!! the toilet is not a public toilet! When joel asked the coast guard if they could relax the rules a little, they slammed the door at him!!!
Hiax...sometimes i think we singaporeans are really brought up in an environment whereby we have become so inflexible.Thus, we carried on with our search, and our poor friend had to endure the stomachache as she walked along with us. decided to ask the owner of a private estate for the use of her toilet. n i tell u, she was really God sent! she was super duper nice! after letting us in, she kept on apologising that her toilet was very old and was sorry that we had to use it. Then, she offered us drinks and due to some poor flushing system, she told us not to worry about the toilet not being able to flush as she would help us clear after we are gone!! How nice right!!! cos my friend was doing big business not small business. so can u imagine the mess she had to try to flush down! N knowing that her toilet had flushing problems,she still let us in to use it!!! She is really God-sent man! Haha, but fortunately, the flush system was working quite well. hence, she did not need to clear up after us.
on our way out of her house, she kept on apologising for her old toilet, and even told us how to go to the place we were going without us asking her for directions.
What a nice lady!
She really made our day=)
Sushi Making
Feeling very happy right now cos i just learnt how to make................SUSHI!!! yays!!! haha, finally know how to make something=p
I must thank serene, for it was she who told me about this sushi course tat cost only $10!!!! the $10 bucks include free ingredients, a free shokubutsu facial form, a correction tape, n a 25%discount voucher from sushi tei!!! Furthermore, the chef who taught us is fron sushi tei!!! thus, it was really a good deal!
It was really enjoyable making the sushi with serene=)) haha, even though there were some slight hiccups along the way, like us not really knowing how to roll the sushi into a cone. Overall though, sushi making is really quite easy. Whatsmore, it makes a healthy meal!!! Would definitely try making sushi again when i m free=))
Time for pictures!
The final product after all the making=)
They taste quite nice!
