Block 85...

I finally went to the famous hawker center in bedok more commonly known as block 85 hawker center. go ahead call me sua gu, turtle or whatever, but honestly it was my first time. i stay so near there, heard so much about it on tv, from friends but i've never been there until yesterday. i went there for supper with yehong, i wanted to try the famous bak chor mee but it was close so never mind, move on and i realized well practically every stall is famous. they either have photos of some celebrities posing with their stall or some nice award given to them. however most of the stalls were closed as it was like 12am already. i went around the hawker center looking at all the various stalls, hopping to find this particular prawn noodle stall but to no avail, maybe i should try in the morning when they are all open. why this particular stall? back when i was in sec school, i always catch the first bus 69 from my place to bedok interchange and every morning i would meet this elderly couple at the bus stop. over time i got acquainted with them and found out they were selling prawn noodle at block 85, they told me if i was ever there, i must go find them and they will treat me eat. maybe i might go there to eat in the morning next time. however i did come across Louis’s dad western food stall, Pete’s grill but it was also closed. so after eating, i suggested we walk back to yehong's place, to walk off that supper we just ate. Haven't walk like this in the still of the night in a very long time, not counting those i did in the jungle where i can't even see my own hands. anyway, we discovered lots of places that was previously unknown to us, sounds sci-fi but i thought we step into another dimension. in short, we got hopelessly lost. well it didn't get any better when it started to pour, i wouldn't mind walking in the rain, in fact it was yehong who suggested it, it would have been awesome and all if not for the fact that i have a laptop stuff under my t-shirt. now my t-shirt is at least 2 size bigger so next time when i'm wearing my orange fila t-shirt, feel free to pass me things things to stuff under it. anyway, we did manage to get home eventually, as quoted from yehong, " the earth is round, we'll get there one day." now i'm just praying that she won't curse me for wanting to walk home. =p

as i was rummaging through my cupboard a while ago, i came across this book which i bought in church some years back, its call a box of delight. it has some of the funniest and wittiest sermon and preaching jokes collected by the authors. so i decided to include some jokes for every entry i post now. here is the first one, its on Atheism.

" A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands shoot into the air. There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
'Because i'm not an atheist.'
'Then, asks the teacher, ' what are you?'
'i'm a Christian.'
The teacher is a little perturbed now , her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Christian.
' Well, i was brought up knowing and loving Jesus. My mum is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian, i also accepted Christ as my personal saviour and i am a Christian.'
The teacher is now angry.
' That's no reason,' she says loudly. 'what if your mum had been a moron, and your dad had been a moron. what would you be then?'
After a pause, and a smile.
'Then,' says Lucy, ' i'd be an atheist.' "
