5:43 PM / 25 June

Empty is the sky before the sun wakes up
Empty are the eyes of animal in cages
Empty, the faces of women in mourning
When everything's been taken from them

Me?
Don't ask me about empty.

1:49 AM / 21 June

Today was one of those days. That day being the 20th of June on a Saturday. You know. Everyone has one of those days. Those days where you realize that God is messing with you. Not in a bad way though.

You see, I have this belief that even if God is all powerful and all knowing, He still has a funny side in Him. Anytime something weird happens to me that I can't understand I always look up and wonder if God's playing a joke. I mean, what are the odds that He has a funny side? And I guess today He reminded me that He still has it.

You see, I've been in a bit of a financial pickle lately. Had to pay a bill on the 20th or else my line would get cut. I was trying to come up with the money that day. I was 20 bucks short. Not that I was taking it seriously. But then stuff happened that made me look up and wonder if God was messing with me again.

Firstly, I was at Adidas Suntec with Kelvin. He was paying for stuff. While waiting for the cashier I was chatting with him. I suddenly realized that in between us on the counter was a dope looking Samsung phone. I was like damn. For fear of getting charged Kelvin decided to ignore it. So I ended up getting all noble and stuff and passed it to the sales guy.

Next, I was walking outside Raffles Shopping Centre with Kel. Saw a few kids helping out with Flag Day. I didn't realize it was for the Special Olympics. I would have donated if I had known. So anyways, the kids were asking these 2 white guys to donate. They did and as one of the guys was putting stuff into his pocket, a crumpled 10 dollar note dropped out. I didn't realize what it was until I got closer. Again I realized the situation and did the noble thing by bumping a few people out of the way and retrieving the 10 dollar note to pass to the guy. I hope it really was that guy's 10 bucks. I'll be damned if I was wrong. But I just did what my eyes interpreted.

This post was not too make myself look good or anything. Nor is it a lie. Ask Kelvin and he'll vouch for me. What I realized on this day was that I almost forgot about the weird relationship I had with a certain Guy sitting in the clouds. So I looked to the sky and said, 'Dammit, you got me again. That was a nice one God.'
