[see how you rate as a friend]
Friends and friendship are discussed a surprising number of times in the bible. You can read about Jesus making us God's friends (Romans), and Jesus calling his disciples friends rather than servants (in John). And you can find the greatest story of friendship of David and Jonathan in the bible (1 Samuel).

Take the friendship quiz...

1. Someone tells you they know something nasty about a friend of yours. Do you:
(a) refuse to listen?
(b) let them tell you, but keep it to yourself?
(c) make sure you get the full story and tell others about it?

2. What attracts you first in a person?
(a) The way they treat others.
(b) The way they treat you.
(c) Their looks.

3. A friend is talking about something on which you have strong feelings. Do you:
(a) wait until they have finished?
(b) interrupt them and say what you think?
(c) refuse to listen?

4. A friend tells you that you look awful in some new clothes you bought. Do you:
(a) take a long hard look at yourself and see if they're right?
(b) tell them you'll look any way you like?
(c) point out a few faults in what they are wearing?

5. You meet someone for the first time. Do you:
(a) expect to make them your best friend?
(b) find out more about them?
(c) show them how clever you are?

6. Some friends tell you they once played a dirty trick on you which you never found out about. They now want to tell you about it. Do you:
(a) forgive and forget?
(b) tell them it's best to clear the air?
(c) get angry before you have heard what they have to say?

How you rate yourself...
Add up the number of (a), (b) and (c).
All (a): You're either not being honest or too good to be true!
Mostly (b): You're got things almost right - you're thoughtful for other people and expect some consideration in return.
Mostly (c): You think about yourself too much - you need to spare some thought for others if you want to make and keep your friends!

[music rocks]
what would the world be without music? some muted place with no harmony? really hope to be in a band someday.... and will be in discussion to record my own song soon... when will i be famous? haha... kidding...

music makes the world go round...

[time flies]
i just remembered that last year around this time i was working at an event management company.... and had a crush on someone... but didn't want to commit cos she was going overseas to study and i was going to serve in the army... then, there was planning for the big launch of fullStoP's first issue... and there was the time i could not run for nuts... haha... how time flies...

time and tide waits for no man
if you want to succeed you must plan
what you wanna do
or where you wanna land
it is not an easy task
but if you wanna go far you must
or else you will sit there and time will just pass
some things they just won't last

[clueless]
i know what i know, i know what i don't know so i can teach you what i know because i know what i don't know...

[running running as fast as we can]
yup... that's what i did today... all three rounds around my camp... it is day four of my btt course in oeti now... slack... anyway, let's shoot back to running... observed that the sky was so clear today... as well as sunny too... and i did take a good look around my camp... haha....

[nice rank]
this pair LTA rank is lying on my desk.. so nice sia... i have been ogling them everyday when i come back from camp... but they belong to my younger brother though.... i am just a low ranking soldier... no points for guessing my rank... anyway, too paiseh to say what too... one year and eight months to ord... yeah.... when will i get my rank??

[car show]
was at the car show yesterday at ngee ann city civic plaza.... so me and my friend were looking around at the cool audio systems and modified cars... then came the game session.... when the host asked who wanted to play, my friend pointed at me and then... i went upstage to play a game.... kena sabo sia! but then, i still managed to win four movie passes to the show 2 fast 2 furious.... cool huh?

after that, i zipped over to my cousin's place to celebrate her birthday and was off to cuppage plaza for a ktv sess with my bmt buddies... what a day...

[great day]

[back to work]
after a one month hiatus from work, here we go again! planning for fullStoP's July issue started way back in may... articles have been coming in now.... just have to wait to see who gets the contract for publishing it....

have just finished writing an article for eStoP.... meanwhile, i'll just have to wait to edit the July issue of fullStoP....

some upcoming articles include an interview with jeremy ratnam, triple noize (tentative), army article and interview with a national swimmer.... sounds so fun.... haha...

[why a retreat is called a retreat]
wonder why a retreat is called a retreat.... does it mean retreat from daily work (sort of escapism) or retreat as in treat yourself again... anyway for whatever reason, retreats are cool....

went for a training retreat conducted by sp at the republic of singapore yatch club yesterday... wow! that place is really heaven man... there were talks conducted by two lecturers, dennis sale and victor joe, and veteran journalist ravi veloo.... through these talks i found out many little little details about the media industry relating to print, web and broadcast news....

of course, it was also fun having fellow fullStoP reporters around to talk to as well as joke and have a meal together.... and we even took lotsa group photos man! there was one with a cute dog too!!

if only time could just stop at that day and leave me there at the yatch club without worries leading a carefree life....

anyway here's three cheers to fullStoP's first anniversary! a big bash is coming right up!

[chill out]
Man coming home very tired after work his wife tells him that the shower is not working. Man replies "I am not a plumber. Just call the

Next day

Third day
