Johnny Rockets, Here I Come!

After two days of having nothing for my stomach, seeking God's face, i had a vision. I had a dream that gave me a glimpse of my future.

I dreamt i was googling for "the best veggie burger recipe."

In these life-turning moments that you are at your most earnest before God, He humorously blesses you with a silly dream. What do you do? Of course i did not search for "the best veggie burger recipe" when i woke up from that dream. When i woke up i felt what dream i had was all but symbolic. That now, facing a new chapter in my life, it's about time to search for "the best veggie burger recipe." Something quite specific, the best recipe God has prepared for my life. But "searching", i think, is not the right word for this. I think "seeking" is more appropriate. Seeking God's face in every minute detail of my life is by far the most essential part of my being a child of God. And what a silly way to be reminded of this, by a silly veggie-burger dream.

So this week, for a start, i shall head for the newly-opened Johnny Rockets diner at Eastwood to try their 100% soy burger. They say it's a must-try. Can't wait. This is all i wanted to say, actually. Forgive the drama.

Oh What Music Can Give!




After a quick meeting at Greenbelt 5, I headed to PowerMac Greenbelt 3 to look for the perfect headphone for my ipod. It's partly because I once eyed a Bose headphone back in August when this kid was happily inspecting his newly purchased one from a store. It was so cute and chic! I didn't know what they were called back then. It was like a mini studio-headphone. So now that i've finally decided to get my own, i spent half an hour listening to the Reality Bites soundtrack with the display sample in the store. Then i spotted the JBL headphone displayed beside it. When i asked how much the JBL was, it was half the price of Bose. Gosh, i snatched the Bose right away from my ears and tried on the JBL. The sound was awesome. To compare, Bose gave a very clean bass sound but everything else was blur; while the JBL gave me a very clean music that i was looking for. I could feel every instrument, every note with it. My Gawd, what music can give. I am so alive again. Thank God for music!
