Singapore Highway Code

It will be very normal if the highway code for Singapore is found online. Googling only shows up 2 requests on forums to the relevant government agency to place it online. The highway code consist of 2 books and costs at most < $10 together.

Well, I dun have one and I borrowed both of them the last time I needed them for passing my basic and advanced theory tests. And I as suspected, most of my friends borrowed theirs too.

Melaka 20 June to 21 June

I wanted a break from work the month before and planned an excursion out of Singapore. I was really looking forward to it and somehow the wait eroded the excitement for it.

Days before the trip, there was multiple signs that I should not go. Events that I am interested in were happening on those 2 days. Even work beboking me to stay back. I still went ahead. And amid in it all, I encountered the Singaporean family I met in turkey, which is a good sign.

Overall, the trip will be more enjoyable if I had planned more and chosen the correct people to go with.

Jonker Street Chendol (Jonker Desert 88)
Really love this chendol, and a must visit place whenever I go to Meleka.







The laksa is deliciously sourish and it does not use coconut milk in the soup base.






Finally we tried the Chicken rice ball. Personally, I prefer the singapore chicken rice with its loose and non-compacted rice. The rice was too squashed to tastes good.



Ole Sayan (average)
Aunty Lee was fully booked, so we tried this alternative Nyonya Restaurant. The gang agreed that it does not worth a second visit.

2 Cor 6:1-10

I realized there are many translation of the same verse and chapter. Some in more modern English using more direct, simpler expression. The reading I read today morning used more complicated words, e.g. affectation, salvation, which I personally find makes it harder to grasp the intentions and meaning behind God words.

The search for better understanding of how to express and read out loud the passage leads me to find the simpler and more direct translation first. So to gain a better understanding of the passage's purpose before attempting to practice on the RC version which tends to use more older sentence structure and words.

=======================

Brothers and sisters:
As your fellow workers, we appeal to you
not to receive the grace of God in vain.
For he says:

In an acceptable time I heard you,
and on the day of salvation I helped you.

Behold, now is a very acceptable time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.
We cause no one to stumble in anything,
in order that no fault may be found with our ministry;
on the contrary, in everything we commend ourselves
as ministers of God, through much endurance,
in afflictions, hardships, constraints,
beatings, imprisonments, riots,
labors, vigils, fasts;
by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness,
in the Holy Spirit, in unfeigned love, in truthful speech,
in the power of God;
with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left;
through glory and dishonor, insult and praise.
We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful;
as unrecognized and yet acknowledged;
as dying and behold we live;
as chastised and yet not put to death;
as sorrowful yet always rejoicing;
as poor yet enriching many;
as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

Quote II

"The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination." - John Schaar

Birthday Song - Corrinne May

This song really express it well if dedicated to a old, familiar friend. It is a refreshing change from the traditional Happy Birthday tune. A excellent choice to gift away, expressing how only time can bless the person with maturity, wisdom and health.

Here the lyrics:

Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
It's such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

Passion run (1 hr 35 min 56 sec)

3rd attempt for this run. Again was not conditioned enough for it as I was working late in the previous 2 weeks
The temperature was warm and it was a new route, different from last year. At the end of it, am not satisfied with myself for not able to keep running all the way to the end. I was doing good time up to the 5km mark. It was after the 10km mark that I could not continue my pace.

My left knee did not feel well after the run, looks like I really have to watch my knee from being damaged further.
