Back To The Future aka 马前马后

Last week botak try to apply for a new passport using the same 2007 photo ...

This was the ICA  reply ;

Dear Botak Sim,

Either you don't understand English or You think we blind or what? 

After the Salamak case and those airport mix-up ..., we open our eye very big one!  (before that we open eyes also but no see lah)

  

We wish to inform you that we are unable to process your application for a new Singapore Passport due to the following reason(s):

1.      Photo must be taken recently (within 3 months)

You may resubmit a new photo image online via the URL link as below: .........

PS : we understand you look beri ham-sam in 2007, but rules are rules... sori cannot :))

Yours sincerely, 

Wow! on the ball mann! At least now we know they are alert :) 

No choice but had to go and take a new passport photo :)))

botak 2007

最后圣地

大年初一早上覆行我一年一度的”朝圣“， 去教堂参加新年礼拜。这是对老妈子的一个承诺。

老妈子没受教育，年轻嫁入信教的沈家也嫁鸡随鸡信教了。那时家里很穷又有一大群孩子得养，老爸粗人一个，星期天去礼拜堂总是短裤背心拖鞋，有一次牧师跟他说“某某人，你来参加礼拜能否穿的端庄点。。。老爸心想：“我是来拜上帝，穿什么有关系吗？难道上帝也看衣装？” 从此就不再去礼拜堂了。

老爸在我九岁那年去世，一家大小的重担就落在老妈子身上。她咬紧牙根把我们抚养长大，不怨天不怨命更不怨上帝，还是默默的，虔诚的，每个星期天风雨不改去做礼拜，去为她的子女祈福，祈祷。

老妈子老年时当然由我这老幺陪她去礼拜，她也知道我是“陪老妈子读圣经”，常常说：“我若不在了，你们还是要去做礼拜” 老妈子临终前我对她说我一定会去礼拜堂。。。，

亲爱的老妈子哟，礼拜堂我会继续去。。。但若最后的圣地是这样。。。
我 不 想 去！

We satisfied our endlees needs

And justified our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny

And in the name of God

And you can see them there On Sunday morning...

The Last Resort

Eagles

E                                A           B

She came from Providence

B                           E

The one in Rhode Island

E                                       A             B

Where the old world shadows hang

B            E

Heavy in the air

E                                       A                 B

She packed her hopes and dreams

B               E

Like a refugee

E                           A            B

Just as her father came

B          E        E E E E Esus2

Across the sea

She heard about a place

People were smiling

Spoke about the red man's ways

How they loved the land

They came from everywhere

To the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stand

Or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars

Out for a good time

Can't wait to tell you all

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low

While the town got high

E E E E Esus2

C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m+

E E E E Esus2

C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m+

When the chilly winds blew down

Across the desert

Through the canyons of the coast

To the malibu

Where the pretty people played

Hungry for power

To light their neon ways

Give 'em things to do

Some rich man came and raped the land

Nobody caught him

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes

And Jesus people bought them

They called it paradise

The place to be

They watched the hazy sun

Sinking in the sea

 (Key Change:  changes from E to G)

G                C           D

You can leave it all behind

D         G

Sail to Lahaina

G                     C         D

Just like the missionaries did

D              G

So many years ago

G                   C            D

They even brought a neon sign

D          G

Jesus is Coming

G                       C            D

Brought the white man's burden down

D                       G        G G G G G+

Brought the white man's reign

And we'll provide the grand design

What is yours and what is mine'

Cuz there is no more new frontier

We have got to make it here

We satisfied our endlees needs

And justified our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny

And in the name of God

And you can see them there

On sunday morning

Stand up and sing about

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why

To call someplace paradise

Kiss it goodbye

G  G  G  G  G+

Em Em Em Em Em+
