Ok, I am officially back in Sunny/Rainy Singapore! And on the way from one island to another, I saw half a moon and a rainbow suspended in midair. Bear in mind that I was in the plane at that particular point of time that those events happened. In the middle of the day. It was awesome!
No pictures to share though.
Just one of those days when you thank God for all He has done for us in this world.
Thank you, Lord.

The Traveller
Culture Vulture. You've guessed it. Same page, different quiz.
About
The Culture Vulture wants full-on immersion in local life. It's all about soaking up as many new life experiences as they can. The first thing the Culture Vulture probably does on arriving in a new city is check out the listings - they'll want to make sure they aren't missing out on any good galleries, gigs or shows. Heading off the beaten track is par for the course. They get a kick out of stumbling upon that hot little bar where just the locals hang out and sitting in the corner with a sketchbook musing on their adventures. For your next trip away, you're ready to be enriched and inspired Culture Vulture-Style. It seems like you're up for a smorgasboard of local delights that will keep you and your friends enthralled from morning til night. No adventure is too much for this Culture Vulture. Your travels may take you to some of the most magical sport on earth and you'll stop at nothing to take in some once-in-a-lifetime sights, whether it's historical ruins, or a remote tribal village. It seems like for you the real highlight of a holiday is in the special encounters you might have with some of the locals you meet on your travels. You are very sensitive to your surroundings and it is important to you to soak up the spirit of the special places you visit so that you can take a piece of their magic home with you.

Friday, The Thirteenth, Two Thousand And Eight
As cliche as it may sound... Today is Friday, The 13th. And there was no electricity and water the whole morning!!!! From 8am till now... 1pm.
This is due to a broken water mains line at the back of my block last night. And it gushed and gushed, into the electricity switchboard room downstairs. Voila! No electricity and water!

Arrival of the WYD Cross
Finally, it has arrived. The World Youth Day Cross has finally arrived in Perth.
When: July 15 - 20
Where: Sydney, Australia
Who: 500,000 expected
Why: You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses. (Acts 1:8)
How: Receive The Power
Ok, so those were the details of the actual WYD 2008 in Sydney. Now, to the more important stuff...
In the 1st pic on the left, is the Cross, and Father Kevin looking cool in sunnies.
And in this pic on the right, there I am on the extreme right, carrying the cross. And yes, it's super heavy. Wonder how Simon of Cyrene did it.
Anyway, it came, and it went. Went all the way from my college, around my college, across the busy road, all the way across school, and around the city.
Before that, it went to 9/11 WTC Ground Zero, North-South Korea Border, and some other places where there's unrest and disaster.
So, it's traveled a long way. Has been traveling since 1984! 24 years now.
Speaking of 24, age is catching up with me too. =)
I end this post with a reflection and lyrics to the WYD08 Theme Song, Receive the Power.
The passing of the Cross throughout the world has made me realised that in times of despair, even the youth of the world unite together to pray for a better future, the future for the next generation youths. And this will carry on in a cycle. It will never end. Just like God's Love for us. It will never end.
Lyrics - Receive the Power
Verse 1
Every nation, every tribe,
come together to worship You.
In Your presence we delight,
we will follow to the ends of the earth.
Chorus
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power, from the Holy Spirit!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power to be a light unto the world!
Verse 2
As Your Spirit calls to rise
we will answer and do Your Will.
We'll forever testify
of Your mercy and unfailing love.
Chorus
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power, from the Holy Spirit!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power to be a light unto the world!
Bridge
Lamb of God, we worship You,
Holy One, we worship You,
Bread of Life, we worship You,
Emmanuel, we worship You.
Lamb of God, we worship You,
Holy One, we worship You,
Bread of Life, we worship You,
Emmanuel, we will sing forever.
Chorus
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power, from the Holy Spirit!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Receive the Power to be a light unto the world
