The coach ride + boat ride took us nearly 11 hours but it's worth it once you are there!

We saw baby shark, sea turtle, jellyfish, shoal of fish, clownfish, sunken ship, coral and many different kinds of fishes which I have no idea what they are called!

When I received the sms about what happened, I was shocked by the seriousness of the news: pray for ***. He met with an accident last night, spinal fracture and brain haemorrhage. Now in ICU. high chance of being paralysed. He is going to get married in Sept.

We were not sure what hit him but the impact was so great that it completely smashed part of his spine and flung him a great distance away from his bike. He had to receive various stitches on his face and suffers internal bleeding in his brain. He was in great pain and has to be supported by a metal frame that spanned from his waist to his lower jaws (like an external rib cage) so that he will not hurt his back nerves. But amazingly and thank be to God, he did not become paralyzed in spite of the impact and the blood clot in his brain did not expand further.

When my family dropped by to visit him (he was already out of ICU), he was able to recognize us and grabbed my hand to acknowledge his appreciation for our visit and even gave a thumb-up when we asked him how he was feeling. But moments later, he was once again in great pain and he was struggling to break free from the "cage" that he was bound. the pain comes every now and then as the pain killer wears off. Much prayers was offered for him and I believe God will use this difficult time to manifest His glory, power and love. Hang in there, bro. You cannot go yet... keep up with that fighting spirit!

I accompanied him during one of the nights and we had a good heart to heart talk. We decided to leave the "why me?" question aside and trust that God is still in control and He can turn the worst of things for the good of His children.

When I came back from Redang island, I was informed that he is discharged! That's really good news! I really hope that he will recover enough by Sept to be married!

Meanwhile, when I was snorkeling in Redang island, Bo was cut by the coral when he was swimming up. The sharp edge of the coral sliced part of his skin off from this palm (near the thumb) and the cut was so deep that it cut part of his muscles. We had to take a speed boat (in spite of the rough waves in the sea) to get back to mainland and to rush him to hospital to get his palm stitched to stop the bleeding. Thankfully, the sharks did not come when he was cut as he was bleeding profusely while underwater.

The ride to the mainland was very choppy and rough. we were literally holding onto our lives as we bump through the hugh waves that sway us upwards and sidewards!

I'm sure you have heard of some of them before...

1. One mosquito coil takes 1 hour to burn. If you are given 2 coils and a lighter, how do you determine 45 mins by burning them alone? (you can't do anything to the coils, like measuring half or breaking it)

2. There is a 10m black building and a 1m white building. which one will the thunder strike?

3. There is a red fat candle and white thin candle that are burning. which of them will burn longer?

4. Paul and Jill lies dead on the floor with a broken glass bowl beside them inside a big villa in Egypt. how did they die?

5. Mrs Tan gave birth to 2 sons on the same day and at the same hour but they are not twins. Why?

The answers... to be revealed soon.

I was sending Bo back to his armor camp at Lim Chu Kang when I saw a long trail of cars parked at the side of the road. The cars are not the usual ones that you see on the road. Some are modified sports cars with bold stickers all over them. Instinct tells me something fishy is going on... Going further down the road, I notice 2 cars speeding by at lightning speed, stepping up on their pedals, obviously racing with each other! Even further, at the end of the long stretch of straight road (which can be used as an emergency runway during war), were 2 other cars, abreast with each other and not moving off though the traffic light was green. I immediately realised that they are getting ready to set off to another race. Whizzing past them, I took out my mobile and dialed 999... after painting the scenario, the policeman on the other line replied "illegal racing at lim chu kang rd? someone has informed us about it and the traffic police is on the way... can I have your name and contact no?" My wife was worried about going back the same way, in case there is any freak accident or we might happen to be there when the police arrives and mistaken us as part of them... but the other way back was totally dark, winding and a long way off on a narrow road so we decided to take a chance... back at the scene, it was totally quiet and the road was completely empty. there was not a single trace of the cars at all. it feels as if they were not even there in the first place. no traffic police came as we journeyed back. nothing. it was like an illusion and it can send chills down your spine if you imagine too much because that stretch of road where we witness the event was beside the cemeteries. the time was almost 12 midnight...

I recently learned that the US dollar is getting devalued day by day as the country lands itself into tremendous debts. If it continues, the US dollar will probably collapse and throw the whole economic world into chaos since everything is traded in US dollars. If so, the only valuable asset left at that time would be gold. So it's a smart move to be investing in this precious metal right now. And I blessed to know of a friend who taught me of a way to buy gold that is world class, private and can't be confiscated by the government in crisis.

My family is recently enjoying time together by playing GAMEWRIGHT card games. They are really fun and challenging! I introduced it to my students and they love it too! we are currently hooked on Sleeping Queens


I recently got interested about the end time prophecies in the bible since the current world situations point that we are the generation to experience the last days before the Great Tribulation. It seems like everything is falling into place (for the peace treaty, third temple in Jerusalem, the one world government for the anti-christ, the one world religion for the false prophet, the mark of the beast and the rapture!) The prophecies are so accurate that it makes my hair stand on its end! Though you can't be 100% certain when and who it is, the picture will get clearer as more things unfold... be watchful, lest you are caught off guard!
