You Are Kermit

Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know. You’re a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life’s problems. Don’t worry - everyone know’s it’s not easy being green. Just remember, time’s fun when you’re having flies!

Just went to sgh to visit Patrick (dinosaur exhibition supervisor) who met with a accident at Mersing, Johor while coming back from Tioman to Sg. Thank God he’s alive…but what about the bus driver who was sitting directly in front of him? What about the 6 year old kid who was behind him…? Both their lives were taken away from them just like that…

What about the 5000 over ppl who did not survive the earthquake in Indonesia?

When I think about how short life really is, the things that we ’struggle’ with do not seem so important anymore. After the very last breath, how much money you have made, how well you have done in your school/workplace, how much respect and love you have from the ppl around you don’t seem to matter much anymore. Why must we strive for things which are temporary? What is the very thing that is important eternally?

What would happen once we die? Nothing? Is there even something which is of eternal value?

If life is max max 100 over years, why hold on to it so tightly when we all know that eventually we will leave our dying bodies?

It is ironic that these things happen when i’ve been just pondering on how all our final destinations are not before our physical timers go off but after, and how we all are just travelers on this earth. Wow, this means that i’ve been on a perpetual holiday since day 1!

“Home is where the heart is.” May my heart be in heaven while i’m travelling and figuring out this map (bible) :P

My first day working at the dinosaur exhibition at singapore science centre was fun! but tiring :P Guess it was the lack of sleep before that lah…(went to holland village with church frens after cell group)

I don’t know why but all of my jobs xcept for 1 or 2 deal with kids!!!! Why? hahaha..it’s just so funnylar but i really love them..sigh..altho’ i don’t really show it (or so i might think) :P It makes me wonder how some people could abuse children! :’(

Children can be so adorable (or not!) and looking at them..i just wish that i could be a kid again! The whole world is ahead of them, they have much less to worry about, their view of life has not been scarred with setbacks, hurts etc.

Back to the exhibition- it was actually mainly about Sue, the world’s largest and most complete (90%) T.rex discovered and Stan as well (another T.rex, 65% complete) but the kids being kids were more interested with the other kiosks like the sand pit with ‘dinosaur’ bones, DIY cardboard dinosaur …

At the sand pit: The kids kept digging up the bones and i kept burying them back until at one point of time I actually suggested a new game ie. ‘Why don’t you close your eyes and count to 10, let us hide the bones and then you find them after that?’ Hah..so much better after that, letting them bury the bones and to dig them up again while I just play along sometimes and do my job which is not letting anyone get hurt by the bones..some of them were quite sharp you know….some others were very cute, showing me every bone they find with this look of accomplishment on their faces…some had other agendas like building sand castles, acting like dogs digging for bones, taking sand and throwing them! some kept asking me which bone this and that was..and some asked ‘ Do you know what a blah-blah-blah-blah-saurus is? *blink blink* Thank God that there wasn’t much need for any form of sternness coz the kids were so obedient if i tell them not to do smtg…yay!

The other 2 kiosks (DIY cardboard dino and pencil shading) were not as interesting but they were at least not so tiring! (I now begin to understand more and more after each job why my mother was always so tired after work :P) DIY stands for do-it-youself right? Even with some guidance, some kids were just very difficult to teach! Some just kept shouting ‘Excuse me! Excuse me! Can you help me?’ at EVERY single step of the process! Made me feel like tearing out my hair… But once the kid gets it..it’s like wow! snowball effect :P Just need one to teach another…many of course had their parents with them and most of the time…the parents end up doing everything.

Much to learn about the exhibition and tried avoiding questions directed to me. Guess there’s still time to learn tho’

Sidetrack- I’ve realized that a fellow blogger has made it up to Kota Kinabalu! Oh nooo..need to train..need to train…

Here’s how he beautifully described his experiance click here

Have never been so busy for my holidays! I’m supposed to rest!

Oh well…i guess i’m trying to learn the art of true resting :)

For those who wanna know what i’m up to…since quite a number were curious :P

- teaching keyboard to a 17 year old boy..he wants to learn how to play chinese pop songs *gasps*
- helping the students at the sec school for a science proj cum competition
- man of letters! (a play written by dick lee)
- let my people think seminar (church seminar)
- kota kinabalu trip (need to train!)
- honours year project
- other stuff: a wedding, meeting up with ppl, music ministry, cell stuff …
- waiting to be confirmed for another job!

So much for a holiday? i’m glad in a way tho’…i’ve asked for it myself and who am i to blame but me? haha…

i just hope that there would be enough time for some things to grow…
