chronicles of young

I think a darn good way to find out more about a person is to look through his/her smartphone. My home screen says that I hate clutter. And prefer the natural over the man made. The no-sound, no-vibration setting hints that I don't like (or cannot cope well with) distractions. See the battery-saving icon? I guess I'm quite an environmentalist. Yep I need the dictionary cos when I think about what someone writes, I want to be able to define all those big words. The requisite camera apps.. Two file organizers for convenience. Faith Comes By Hearing is the organisation that develops audio bibles in the many native tongues of the peoples all over the world.

For cooler stuff, go here .

For one, I got a couple of Candy Empire sweets as a prize! Okay, don't look at me like that. I eat sweets on a regular basis. Just not Candy Empire's. Let me begin. The theme is Live the Dream by the way, in conjunction with the Youth Olympics.     Martin Luther King, Jr once said, "I have a dream..." At that time, people laughed at him and dismissed his dream of equal rights as downright impossible. In the same way, I have lived my dream too, becoming one of the lucky people that managed to do so. I firmly believe that everyone has a dream.
