They think it's a joke to call God. They're driving a Pinellas Park, Fla., woman nuts -- not to mention the employees at a Denver radio station and an elderly lady in South Carolina.
The St. Petersburg Times reports for these poor folks the phone rings at all hours -- and callers ask "Is God there?" or "God?" Then they chuckle and hang up.
The box office hit, "Bruce Almighty" is to blame. In one scene, God (Morgan Freeman) pages Bruce (Jim Carrey) and leaves a number, which flashes on Bruce's pager and on the movie screen.
Since it's a real phone number, folks who dial it, wherever they are, are getting real people answering, the paper says.
Dawn Jenkins of Pinellas Park saw the movie and saw her cell phone number flash on the screen. Soon she was getting 15 to 20 calls an hour from people asking for God.
haha.

*The Paradox of our times*
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings,
but shorter tempers; wider freeways,
but narrower viewpoints; we spend more,
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
More conversations, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgments;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly
Laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly,
Stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
We've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space;
We've done larger things, but not better things;
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom. but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less;
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
We've higher incomes but lower morals.
We've more food, but less appeasement;
We build more computers to hold more information
to produce more copies that ever, but have less communication.
We've become long on quantity but short on quality
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall man,
and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of more incomes, but less nutrition.
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;
of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers,
throw-away morality, one night stands, and overweight bodies.

There are many reasons why God would not want you -but don't worry. You're in good company.
Moses stuttered.
David's armor didn't fit.
John Mark was rejected by Paul.
Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
Amos' only traning was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Soloman was too rich.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Timothy had ulcers.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Jesus was too poor.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a murderer. So was Moses and David.
Jonah ran from God.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
Martha was a worrywart.
Mary was lazy.
Samson had long hair.
Noah got drunk.
Did I mention that Mosus(mosus???) had a short fuse? So did Peter, Paul-- well, lots of folks did.
But God doesn't require a job interview. He doesn't hire and fire like most bosses, because He's more our dad than our boss. He doesn't look at financial gain or loss. He's not prejudiced nor partial, not judging, grudging, sassy, nor brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need. As much as we try, God's gifts are free.
We could do wonderful things for wonderful people and still not be... wonderful.
Satan says, "You're not worthy."
Jesus says, "So what? I AM."
Satan looks back and sees our mistakes. God looks back and sees the Cross. He doesn't calculate what you did in the past. It's not even on the record.
Sure. There are lots of reasons why God shouldn't want us. But if we are in love with Him, if we hunger for Him more than our next breath, He'll use us in spite of who we are, where we've been or what we look like.

yah anyway...to continue from yesterday's toilet trip adventures, i dragged myself up after a while to venture on, looking for a source of light, when ooof! i spotted another female toilet on the same level. hahahaha:D of course, i was such a blithing fool to actually believe that THAT toilet would be open when the other wasn't...yeah..so i went down the stairs with awkward steps due to the pain. oh yah. i vomitted on the stairs too. but i figured since no one really use those stairs anyway, the pple won't mind right?:) *grInz*
first floor toilet ain't open either (i still can't figure out what's the use of three unopened toilets in the perfomance theatre building? no use at all!) so i rushed to the classroom block toilets. wonderful classroom block toilets i tell ya!:D
heh...that's the end of the toilet trip adventures:)
i told my mum and dad about the conversion on saturday night... they didn't really take it very well on that night:) but God probably heard my prayers...'cos by monday night, we were talking normally again...like in the old times (ollldddd timmmeesss...)

moooooo.
i have one of those 'lasting throughout the whole day' kinda stomachache.
it started in the morning while i was happily waiting for weezi to come fetch me to school...i thought nothing of it, attributing the pain to one of those mini stomachaches...then it went off, and came back after 5 mins or so. this went on until i reached school, and hurried to the toilet:)
went to the canteen toilet... saw grace, said hi. by then it was around 10 mins before assembly starts...
so yah. i was in the cubicle, waiting for natural process to occur...after waiting for 8 mins ++, nothing happened. by then i could hear councillors outside of the toilet telling people to hurry up...so i figured i'd better get out of the toilet and proceed to the perfomance theatre.
yeah. then the same thing happened, so i decided to get out of the PT and rush to a toilet. the main point is...the pangs of pain became more intense, to the point that i was hardly able to hold myself up...so upon reaching the first female toilet i see (2nd storey of the PT block) i grabbed onto the handle, tried to turn it, and found that it's locked. not being able to stand it anymore (hehehe), i just collapsed onto the floor, leaning on the second floor toilet's door.
anyway, i have to go for writers' circle now... ah wellz. jitsy was 'kind enough' to tell me...bye for now!

arf.
i've been waffling throughout the whole day...
went for my first prayer meeting yesterday...with the north and east unit together:) one of the brothers taught us about excelling in the physical world and in spiritual sense. i feel that at this moment...though i've finally got my priorities right, i'm not exactly spending too much time on trying to excel in the physical sense either.
need to increase my time on studying. hahahaha:)
ah wellz:)
jacqueline just went crazy and shouted 'YES!' after managing to throw something successfully into the dustbin:D
hui lin said she cried after watching 'lilo and stitch'. i have absolutely no comments.
yu pei just said 'yah! shuddup lah! so many comments. damnit.' after pei lee commented that he wears ankle socks.
just some snippets from my class:) *beamz*
i feel distorted today. hmmz. if i'm a picture, i'd be those Van Gogh pics which are abstract. abstract in a sense that some people understands it, and some don't.
hahaha:)
-i wanna see jesus lifted high-
pei lee just asked 'xinying, what are you doing?'

what songs were there?
strange relationship, creeping up on you, dirty, spin, ride, the heart wants what it wants, i miss you...can't remember.
oh. stephie's friend was in A02 for the first three months, not A01. how sad. now the world seemed to have expanded once more. hmmm.

'the heart wants what it wants' ---Darren Hayes!
You say one thing and there I go turning around again
Working things over better left unsaid
Spinning around in my head
Talking a moment
Too personally
I have told you just half the words
I've wanted to give you
Fear of rejection keeps my heart at bay
Feelings I'd rather not say
I'd rather have you close
Than never at all
But every now and then
When my world is closing in
I feel you breezin' through my mind
I can attempt to close my eyes
I can avoid the wrong or right
But something deep inside
Says my heart wants what it wants
Chorus:
Baby, stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby, stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
You know the heart wants what it wants
You do one thing and then I go
Always imagining
Reciprocating feelings that aren't there
Sometimes I think you're aware
Your body languge it gives you away
Maybe I should run, turn my back
Head for the sun
Feelings left to come undone
Maybe you like what's goin' on
Deep down inside I know it's wrong
I know I should run
But the heart wants what it wants
chorus
It's not even a love affair
I'm makin' plans with the ghost of what was there
I've become a desperate fool
And it's all because of you
Chorus
Baby, stay away
Do the right thing
I know I should run
But my heart wants what it wants
Baby, stay away
Do the right thing baby
Because the heart wants
What the heart needs
Can the heart get
What the heart wants
You say one thing and there I go turning around again
Working things over better left unsaid
Spinning around in my head
Talking a moment
Too personally
I have told you just half the words
I've wanted to give you
Fear of rejection keeps my heart at bay
Feelings I'd rather not say
I'd rather have you close
Than never at all

turns out that stefiee's friend may know me afterall! hahaha:) 'cos for one of the days in the first three months, i crashed nj (hey! it's was one of those school holidays!) and attended one of the maths tutorial. (how studious i am) more specifically, fungi's maths tutorial. hahaha:) we especially asked her maths tutor to allow us (me, jits and guan-y) to sit in...hahaha:) and her friend remembers me! or rather, hopefully it's me she remembers...
fungi! was there a samantha in your class?:)
the world is getting so small. everyone's knowing everyone else. hahaha:) it's shrinking!
aargh. i'm going mad. maaaaaaaad.
*boggles*
jitsy just realised the existence of 'between the bars' today.. and she said it sounded like this ballad she got from her lit class...then she happily showed it to me and was staying in a stable position in her delusion that the poem was very nice (for a lack of a better word) until i showed her these lines:
' you'll sit on his white collar-bone,
and i'll peck out his pretty blue eyes,
with this lock of his golden hair,
we'll roof our nest when it grows bare'
ah. pretty ideas we have here. apparently, jitsy doesn't think so and thrust the entire paper into my hands. which very clearly explains why i have the poem with me right now:D
i still have no inspiration though. sadly.
turns out that stefiee's friend may know me afterall! hahaha:) 'cos for one of the days in the first three months, i crashed nj (hey! it's was one of those school holidays!) and attended one of the maths tutorial. (how studious i am) more specifically, fungi's maths tutorial. hahaha:) we especially asked her maths tutor to allow us (me, jits and guan-y) to sit in...hahaha:) and her friend remembers me! or rather, hopefully it's me she remembers...
fungi! was there a samantha in your class?:)
the world is getting so small. everyone's knowing everyone else. hahaha:) it's shrinking!
aargh. i'm going mad. maaaaaaaad.
*boggles*
jitsy just realised the existence of 'between the bars' today.. and she said it sounded like this ballad she got from her lit class...then she happily showed it to me and was staying in a stable position in her delusion that the poem was very nice (for a lack of a better word) until i showed her these lines:
' you'll sit on his white collar-bone,

wooohooooo! large screen. this kinda compensates for my gormless computer promising to repair something part of the system for me and then dying off...just like that. i can't even get into the starting page. gormless comp i tell ya. at least it has gotten my mum to ponder at the prospect of finally getting a new computer. shi1 zhi dong1 yu2, shou1 zhi1 sang yu2...hahaha:)
hahaha. anyway, in the vjc comp lab right now... large screen in front of me...feels kinda strange...feels like i should be moving backwards more 'cos my eyes are just too near to the screen. not exactly very good for the eye:) yeah:)
i've lost all my inspiration...had a lot of things to comment about yesterday...aargh. this is frustrating. i can't even remember what i have to say for yesterday...terribly irritating.
stephie just mistook my handphone for a mouse
'people'll think i'm mad!' ---steph. hahahah:D
sighz. no inspiration at all. can you imagine the feeling of trying to grab unto something so desperately, but with no success? trying to find a way out of the muddled mess? attempting to sort out mixed memories scattered around in the gooey gray (yeah, gray still looks grayer than grey) matter residing in your skull? look at me! i'm talking nonsense! rambling! (stephie says she's rambling too:) heading for the end of this blog with no sense of direction!
nvm. shall just end off here.

ahz! i found out the title of the song that has been stuck on my mind for the entire day, yet i couldn't remember its title:) the song that trace introduced to us:) *beamz* it's 'between the bars' - elliot smith.
yeah manz! stephie! ur friend has good taste:) i copy what she wrote ahz...hope ur friend don't kill me...hopefully u won't kill me either:)
"my favourite though, would be vj's performance. it's the aesthetic quality of their play, i felt as if i was watching one of jimmy liao/Šô•Ä's books come to life. and the idea of two strangers' fates intertwining for just that fleeting moment before they become strangers again was really well put across, not cliched but original. ^_^ so nice~ the lead actress was also incredibly chio. ^^
hhahaha. the lead actress' Sisi (don't really know how you spell it:) the former exco members were all either incredibly chio, or incredibly cool looking (especially the former vice-president!)
*grInz* and dancing! i dun like to leave messages in guestbooks:) hehehe:)
think i'll need to separate today's blog again...or else stupid blogger may show once again the horrifying words that proclaim 'your http request is too long' or something similar to that. hahaha:)
had 2.4km today. sucky. i'm looking forward to the 5 items next week:) (though i think the IPU will kill me:)
just realised that on the 12th May last year, i was happily jeopardising a precious friendship, my reputation and my biology midyear exam grades by revealing who i liked. right smack in the middle of the mid year exams and i do such a stupid thing. hahaha:)
oh yah. forgot to mention that Lydia's homophobic. 'cos somehow or another we were talking about gays before the 2.4km run. oh! it's 'cos she said there's a gay camp in the army or something similar:) so now we've concluded that lydia's homophobic and sexist (in favour of females).she says she's going to be a feminist.

first part of 11 May 2003:
went for early service today...it started at 9am. how horribly early:) well. it was supposed to start at 9...but the auditorium was like, relatively empty at 9...then people started to file in at about 9.05am. ah wellz:) jun ting was very nice:) she accompanied me and suraj into the audi:) *beamz*
suraj had to come for early service too...'cos he's going to celebrate mother's day with his mum and sis in the afternoon. ah wellz:)
it wasn't as bad as i thought it was. at first i thought i would feel awkward there...considering that there're like no teens in the early service and no adults whom i know. (not that i know a lot of adults in Hope. still quite surprised to see jingchen in Hope though. hahaha:) lots of young adults...who don't look like young adults anyway. ah wellz:)
service is just so wonderful:) there was a small skit put up by the Hope drama...really nice songs to worship and praise God as well:) and a wonderful and corny pastor to give the sermon! (who else but Pastor Ben? SARS became something about 'And lacking Romance syndrome).
i take back my words. all the pastors are wonderful and corny:D

second part of 11 May 2003:
then i went to tampines to meet michelle (tan. the number of michelles in this world is getting pretty overwhelming. hahaha:) and pei lee:) both of them are freaky...bringing notes wherever they go. didn't felt quite natural around the both of them when we were going around looking for presents. hahaha:) so, i decided to sms qingz about it...and she was nice enough to actually call me:D yeah manz! qingz u rule too!:D
then i felt bad talking on the phone while the two of them are looking for presents...hehehe:) think it was better after the phone call:) hehee:) nice friends they are:)
heard quite a lot of songs today...then i realised that nearly everybody in nygep'02 has a song attached to her:) hahaha:) nearly everybody:)
like for eg. 'Give it to you' ---jordan knight will forever remind me of fungi (do you not agree?), 'twinkle twinkle little star' of grace (oh yah! amazing grace as well:P), 'if you're not the one' -everyone knows who this is sung by, of trace (heh, what's the title of the song that went 'people, you've been before and u don't want around anymore, and they ...and won't bend to your will, i'll keep them still'? i can't remember), songs by Blue of weezi, songs by Jay zhou of Sze (and shu wen...even though shu wen's not an nygepper), a whole buncha disney and anastasia songs of jitsy and isobelly and 'phantom of the opera' and 'memory' of nina:)
and the number of songs which i've known before the radio knows it. one of which i heard today is 'all the things she said'. can't remember the other one. some song that i've known for a year or so until the radio started playing it.
ah wellz:)

i love God:)
He just reminded me of His grace today:D there were times through the week when i felt unsure of stuff around... and i asked Him to give signs to me, so that my doubts can be cleared, and He did. *beamz* love Him so much:D
people always ask for miracles to happen, and these miracles don't come. but if you accept Jesus into your life, you don't have to ask for these miracles.
they just happen:)
-all the colours of the rainbow, all the voices of the wind,
every dream that reaches out, it reaches out to find where love begins,
every word of every story, every star in every sky,
every corner of creation, lives to testify-
i accept Jesus into my life 1 month and 12 days ago (hahaha! i do count!)...and many a times, i've witnessed answered prayers, and felt His strong love for us. Will you give the chance to allow yourself to be showered in His love too?

You are Storm!
You are very strong and very protective of those
you love. You are in tune with nature and are
very concerned with justice and humanity.
Unfortunately, certain apprehensions and fears
are very hard for you to overcome, and can
often inhibit you when most need to be strong.
Which X-Men character are you most like?

oh yah. i forgot to mention. i saw michelle and sheila at vj today:) they look nice in the rj uniforms...surprisingly. after seeing the green coloured piece of 'rag-lookalike' piece of cloth (heheheh. no offense:) at trace's house...i thought no one would look nice in it. hehee:) it just feels so odd to know that ur secondary school classmates were classmates with your friends in vj now...hahaha:) like, they used to be there, but now that's you're there, they're not there, yet their presence for the first three months still remain:) can't imagine though.
it's like...you feel like going 'you know her?' in that shocked, 'ooh-that's-so-interesting-how-did-you-get-to-know-her' kinda tone or something:D hehehe:) and to think that shauna was 03s1b's ct rep, mich goh was in my class (creating havoc during maths class i heard), eugene luah was just in 03s1e (imagine the shock of my life when i saw his name in the class list) and now panghao and yvonne are now both in the same class. the world is just so small. teeny weeny world!
and it's quite surprising how many pple we've actually got the chance to meet during Sec 2 innovation programme, but didn't get the chance to know them. i marvel at these fated meetings:) hahaha:)

*grInz*:D
hahaha:) this is relatively amusing. all of the epirotes people can't go to support rosa (nyj against aj) for table tennis tomorrow because of the same reason:
we ALL have bio at 10am.
how coincidental:D
*grInz* rosa agrees with me that bio would be the bane of her life...and guess what? she got mrs goh as her bio teacher. muahahha:) sorrie sorrie...but it's really quite amusing:) mrs goh isn't exactly very...ehz. wellz. she's a very good bio teacher (an extremely good bio prac teacher if i must add), just sometimes very naggy:D according to her, mrs goh has strands of purple hair! *lol* can't imagine. it's quite obvious that she has dyed hair...but coloured strands of hair on top of that? manz.
ah wellz:) going to watch the chinese drama competition tomorrow...i wonder if i'll meet qinglan they all:D will be nice if i do:)
wondering about the nybbgt... hope they'll win tomorrow's competition:D dunno if they did win monday's...ah wellz:) so sad that they lost to vjc at the score of 42-30..i suppose it's not already quite good:) considering that only 6 of our players played basketball in secondary school...and it's not as if they came from schools with strong teams:) i sincerely hope they'll win...considering that they have been training like mad. the camp was like...already testing all of our limits...and they had to continue with all the training. ah wellz:) all the best to them! shall pray about it:D
of course, i should be supporting vj bbgt...but considering that i've never known any of the bbgt pple, except for hui xiang...and i'm sure they had basketball pple from sec school...i'm not particularly worried about vj. hehehe:)

the taekwando pants are nice to wear...feels very comfortable. hahaha:)
ah wellz. we all passed:) though the person who was judging the grading seemed to be rather indifferent to everyone's moves. everyone passed. no one got a double though. so saddening. some of them actually seemed to have performed quite well, it's like, they executed the moves wonderfully, with grace, style, speed and strength.
went for my first chinese society exco meeting today...never imagined they had to organise a lot of things themselves. a lot of activities as well. ah wellz:) hope we'll all be able to catch up with our roles in the exco as soon as possible...seeing that we'll have to organise the investiture soon. and the club fund is like...relatively empty:D
then went for the econs makeup tutorial on essay writing...but since i had to leave 10 mins after i reached the classroom, mr chan let me off after passing me the notes and telling me to go read them myself:) how nice:)

i have no comments. i went back, changed my results a few times and got the same school. hahahaa:) the number of schools are ...so limited. it's not really fair. ah wellz:)
me and stephie went to east coast after our makeup lecture today:) very nice walk along east coast.. just looking at the sea, talking, eating my first ever Mr Softee (seriously, i've never seen it in 7-11 before...hahaha:) and trying to find sea shells:D
stephie said that dancing crashed nyjc at one time and loved the nyj people:) hahaha:) 'cos she felt that nyj people were much more innocent:) it's like... if they don't like something, they'll just voice it out:) and they view the world with a simpler heart...more appreciative of the simple things in life...which i find seriously lacking in the world around us:) though their results may not be as well as ours (which isn't necessarily true anyway...hahaha:), but as i've often said, at the end of your lifetime, one wouldn't reflect and regret about not having good results. it's what happens in our lives, how happy we are while in existance on this world that's gonna stay with us through the years.
of course, the grades constitute a portion of the many factors influencing our happiness (and it's certainly playing an important part right now in many people's lives), but essentially, it's not the main portion. the most joyful moments of one's life are not those when you get like..ehz. top of the school or something. these things fade...they just don't stay with you throughout your life:) i can be certain to say that when asked for their happiest moment in life, it's not when they get good grades. hahaha:)
so, shall we not learn to view things with innocence, feel things with a lighter heart and learn to be joyful even for the smallest things there may be?:) be it passing the taekwando grading test, making it to the team of touch rugby, finishing up on a poem, catching up the old times with an old friend or even just the simple pleasure of being able to take a few moments to relax in front of the comp?:) steph's friend (i can't remember who) was delighted just because the chicken noodles auntie gave her more chicken. hahaha:)
shall we not be thankful for the numerous blessings we receive each day?:) *beamz*

-i will never be anything till i break away from me
i will break away, i'll find myself today-
taekwando grading on thursday:) my first day of being the chinese society exco member on thursday too:)
oh yah. we have gym course on thursday as well. how odd. what's gym course anyway?
i wonder if it's anything like the gym classes we had in sec 1 and 2? did we have them in sec 3?
-lifting up the name of the Lord,
in power and in unity,
we will see the nations turn,
touching heaven, changing earth-
hahhaa...this website's quite...ehz. interesting:)
the world's rolling me around right now.
-well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
fed to the rules and i hit the ground running-
i need to reprioritize once again:) yeah.
not particularly in a good mood. hahaa. in a neutral mood. if there's such a thing:)

hmmz. so sad. my stupid modem doesn't want to connect:) listening to the songs on my comp now... so delighted to find that IMESH can once again relinquish its position as the official song downloader on my comp.
btw, i'm listening to the songs on full blast. feels good. you all should try it one day. hahaha:) of course, you should use earphones. in order not to create any noise pollution:) must do this when u're in good mood though. if you're in a bad mood, it'll give you a headache:D hahaha:)
i was just reminiscing with stephie about nyjc today...forgot to mention another thing:) i miss the guys at nyj...hahaha. they're..more courteous. and more mature. (with the exception of a particular few..) how odd. one would think that the guys in the top five schools are more gentlemenly. now we know that's not very true:D *grInz* why am i talking about guys anyway?
-all of our parents, they're getting older,
i wonder if they've wished for anything better,
while in their memories, tiny tragedies-
Oh qingz! you know what? my nyjc basketball girls' team coach is the same one as your hcjc's basketball guys' team coach! hahaha:) so funny:) according to jiao4 lian4, he was very proud. 'cos hcjc beat vjc. seeing that i've never actually seen vjc's guys' team, i shall declare that i am happy that hcjc beat vjc. hahaha:)
i think Dunman High had a different culture from us... it's a bit odd. it feels familiar, yet unfamiliar.
-feels good, feels good, feels good, feels so good-
hahaha:D that's from 'the best things in life are free' by janet jackson and luther vandross.
yes. back to Dunman...it's just. different:) that's probably why vjc seems to have a different environment from hcjc...ah wellz:) jitsy and i have concluded that it's the east coast air. hahaha:)
and our maths lecturer said that RI stands for retarded institution. then i was thinking about the 'weezi being smart 'cos of the RI air' theory. *grInz*
something to share:
1 Cor 6:19 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, which is in you, and your body you have from God?"
