What Does It Take?

What is in a certificate? What is in a medal? What does it take to get a scholarship? What does it take to be ''outstanding''? In this world where academic and co-curricular performance seems to matter greatly on a number of levels, surely everyone tries to push themselves to the limit, that competitive edge just kicked up two notches.

And even when you've done your best, the world says it's not enough. If you don't meet it's requirements, you're, so to say ''out''. Well, if you've ever thought that way then here's what i think...

''Lean on God for STRENGTH, you don't have to prove yourself to Him. Coz it's not about what we've done or what we have not done but rather it's what Jesus has ALREADY done for every single one of us! For GRACE is mercy undeserved. If salvation comes based on our own merit then Christ died in vain!''

Sigh, has anyone out there ever felt the same? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just feeling frustrated and lost...

Guiness World Record Here I Come!

I think i've discovered a hidden talent, and it's got nothing to do with sports. So make a guess! Could it be sword-juggling? Bomb-decoding? Or mouth-watering?!? Nope, it's HOUSEFLY-CATCHING!!!

You'll probably think this gross but the if i learned anything from working at the bakery is housefly-catching. This ''fine art'' is a requirement en route to upholding the high standards of hygiene here at the bakery shop. Haha, so worry not dear customers!


Remember that fairy tale Mom and Dad used to read out before bed time? The one about The Valiant Little Tailor by the Grimm brothers. The young peasant tailor killed 7 flies in a single blow and soon became the talk of town* (the town wasn't very big anyways). Keeping it short, he killed the giant, got the princess and blah blah blah you know the rest.


Well, i caught 8 houseflies using only plastic bags! Muahaha, now who's fairytale material huh? Perhaps one day i shall opt for a slot in the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS!
