What do kids think about the ocean?

Kelly, age 6 - “This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.”


Jerry, age 6 – “Oysters' balls are called pearls.”


Wayne, age 7 – “If you are surrounded by ocean you are an Island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent.


Kylie, age 6 – “Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more.”


Billy, age 8 – “A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head.”


Millie, age 6 – “My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men, a woman and some pots and comes back with crabs.”


William, age 7 – “When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans.”


Helen, age 6 – “Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really?”


Amy, age 6 – “I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write.”


Christopher, age 7 – “Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers at night.”


Kevin, age 6 – “When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small.”


Becky, age 8 – “Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other.”


Julie, age 7 – “On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her big fat ass.”


Bobby, age 6 – “The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know.”


James, age 7 – “My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.”

A little girl had been shopping with her Mum in Target. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout.. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target.

We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in 'Mum let's run through the rain,' she said. 'What?' Mum asked.

'Let's run through the rain!' She repeated

'No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit,' Mum replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: 'Mum, let's run through the rain,'

'We'll get soaked if we do,' Mum said.

'No, we won't, Mum. That's not what you said this morning,' the young girl said as she tugged at her Mum's arm.

This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?

'Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!'

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently.
No one came or left in the next few minutes.

Mum paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

'Honey, you are absolutely right, Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing,' Mum said.

Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through
the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.

And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.

SELAYANG : “Inspirational, Fun, Extraordinary!” These are just a few words expressed by the 45 participants who attended the Youth Camp themed Stand By Me held at the Church of Christ the King, Selayang from July 25 to 27, which was also attended by youths from its sister Church of Christ the Light, Kepong.

This Camp made history as the first ever using a foster family concept which enabled participants to experience the true meaning of family, sharing and responsibility. Its five Sessions conducted by Ben Savarimuthu from Desa Jaya, Laura Joseph from Asayo, Pathinathan from Rawang and Augustine from Christ the Light were interspersed with thought-provoking games, skits and videos, heart-to heart chats about conflicts and misunderstandings in families and ways to overcome them, getting the best out of the Media, the Bible, Teamwork, Praise & Worship. Other highlights included the “Sarung Nite”, where participants were asked to perform thematic skits to express their creativity and talents. They were also put on “Mission 007” where they were to “look out for one person” throughout the Camp.

Among the feedback gathered from participants included:

Robin Christopher, 19, felt that “the media session was life changing. I realize that media has both positive and negative influence and it’s up to me to decide which affects my life.”

Vimal James, 19, confessed that he was “deeply touched by the lyrics of some of the songs played at the Camp”.

The Camp ended with a Mass, where gifts were given to the Foster Families personally by the participants, in the presence of their Parish Priest, Fr Albet.

I don't know what to feel
Heart is dead
Mind confused
Don't know what to do

Feel sad for many reasons
hatred, envy, pain, jealousy, stupidity
Can't handle it all

Eyes crying
Body dying

No sound of hope
Just quiet humming
And distant echoes mourning

Well, she didnt transform.. Something in my pants did!! :D

The 5 days was truly an one-of-a-kind experience. Let me take you on the journey with me..


As usual, i woke up late in the morning. We were supposed to be at KL Sentral at 10am to take the bus to LCCT but Thomas, Richard and me were leaving Kepong Sentral at 10am.. :) *nothing-new* Met up with Jacky, Nick, Becca and Melissa there and took the bus. We boarded a bus that only had 7 seats left. I had to sit with some chinese aunty. The bus was supposed to depart at 10.30am but it was already 10.43am and the bus was still there..

We reached LCCT at 11.30. We didn't want to check-in yet because Charles wasn't there yet. When we about to check-in, Ric somehow couldnt locate his IC in the wallet. Ric and me ran to the Balai Polis there and made a complaint that IC hilang.. When we got back, our flight got "DELAYED".. *grins* So we were recheduled to take the 4.30pm flight..


This flight was the AirAsiaX flight. It was a little better than the other AirAsia planes. I think the last time i took the Boeing 737 if i'm not mistaken. This was pretty huge la..




But the only thing it didn't have was the people doing the safety instruction 'dance' thingy.. Every seat had a screen in front of them which had a video of the whole instruction thing.



The flight was 1hr 50mins long..






Damn boring k..I sat with Ric and Becca and we had played Uno the whole journey.. Of course Ric didn't win a single game.. :) Everyone was given this magazine on board and one article really made me laugh.. AirAsia was too slow to realize that he already died.. hahahaha..


We reached Kuching at 7pm. Gary was waiting for us there.



Uncle Chai (Our local transporter) was also there. Gary than took us to some food court to have dinner. Food there is nice and cheap k!! We than took the 45 minute to the heart of Santubong where Sarawak Cultural Village is.. That night, everyone was pretty exhausted so kita minum sikit and went to sleep. I will explain all about where we stayed in the next post.. Till then, this is the end of Day 1.. :)

Tomoro, at 11.15am, i board AK5208 to Kuching. My first edition of the RAINFOREST WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL. :)

The RWMF is said to be the best ever platform where world musicians come together on one stage to showcase their talents and bring music alive ride in the deep jungles of Borneo. Well, this is going to be better as i'm going!! :p

Me together with another 9 ppl are gonna be staying at concert grounds where certain longhouses have been made available for lodging. This is a plus point as we are definately experiencing atouch of the cultures of Sarawak is offering. And of course with a whole lotta booze.. :) Somehow feel am gonna be wasted.. *fingers crossed*

Some names that i'm waiting to check out are AkashA, Asika an Oudaden. The first two are local and the third is from Morocco. They have said to create a great fusion between Moroccan music and blues/funk.. That is definately somethign to look forward to. Besides that, the workshops seem to be very good.. Click here for a full list of performers.. so yea.. :p

Its been really some time since i went on a real holiday. Hope this will turn out fine. With Sarawak reporting it's 8th case on the H1N1 virus, i hope the alcohol will kill the virus.. :)

Till then, Saya Pegi ENJJOOOYYYYYY!!!!!!
