"Arh-Chooww!!"

Ah-choo can be someone's name. It can also be the noise you make when you sneeze.

Ever wondered where that blog of phlegm went to when you sneeze? Yeah, you felt something come out, but it didn't land on your tissue nor your palm. For a while you couldn't locate it...The next thing you hear is "Siicccckkkkkk!!"

Congratulations! You have just won yourself a one-way ticket to the land of "Apologise or die of humiliation and wrath"

This follows the act of not covering your mouth fully when you sneeze.

You enjoy the relief of 'after-sneeze' but realised that you cannot locate the huge blog of phlegm. Upon realising that, you suddenly see the aghast look on a stranger's face...the muscles on the cheeks twitch with such intensity you can almost guess where it landed. Such embarrassment...

You can choose to walk away if you are in a hurry but that spells more trouble if the victim chooses to give chase.

If you are a man, it might not do so much harm because we are not known to be 'demure' creatures. It's not so bad, just thicken your skin and apologise. There's no way of escaping because that person sure heard you sneeeze less than 1metre behind.

If you are a lady, gd luck. Your face will probably turn red. If not, you are really powerful. Now, if your glue landed on a guy's leg (assuming he's not wearing longs...perhaps he'll just need to clean it off his leg hairs) it's not that bad. But if your glue landed on his working pants, then it might be a little tad bit tricky. Say you are a fairly decent looking lady, then you might just win your way out by smiling and looking shy. But honestly, whether you are a supermodel or not, you'll probably get the "uh-huh?" look from me. But HEY, if your glue landed on another lady, muahaha, this would be interesting. Woman vs woman = no good. Quickly change your gears, put on the pair of asics and run.

That's the problem when you walk in crowded places and your nose got itchy inside. Here's some suggestions to help yourself:

1. Cover FULLY the vents that can possibly spill out glue...white or green.

2. Use a tissue or handkerchief to cover, if you're fast enough to reach into your pocket to grab it.

3. Sneeze upwards and create a fountain. (no, i'm just kidding.) Neither should you just turn to the left or right and let it go. That victim will hate you more. So, always face downwards. That would reduce the chances of sharing your glue with others.

All these would be easy if the victim was just brisking around the shopping centre. If he/she were carrying bags of grocery from cold storage, then it's going to get complicated. Victim would need to put everything down, scream at you, then clean it off. It's just an extra step of putting down the veg and toiletries before wiping it off. But hey, nobody likes it man.

Imagine, YOU are carrying something really heavy, perspiring like mad, feeling uncomfortable all over and someone does that to you. Promise me you wouldn't blow up? Some people are really short tempered, a little trigger means an explosion. So phierce! haha...jk.

I know of this Person who was once carrying a wooden plank weighting approximately 40kg, extremely exhausted and still had to walk a distance of about 650m. He didn't react like what was mentioned above. He humbly accepted all that happened. There was more than just phelgm, blogs and glue. He was paying the price for something he didn't buy. It wasn't cheap like some chewy mentos sweet. Neither was it the price of a MacPro. It cost Him His life.

To a human being, it's totally insane and out of the mind to have done this. Why would you want to go through this? haha, crazy right. And that's the love of the Father. If He didn't choose to do this for us, then hell would be a more populated place. The heat would be shared by more people. And that place is open to public, free access. No need invitations.

But hey! That's not what is intended for us! A huge mansion, awaits everyone single one of those who loves and trusts in Him. I can't imgaine how it will look like, neither can I find a picture that I think would be near it.. :)

So let's not give up, even when the tide is low low low, it will come back high high high again.

Self-sufficient is the last thing you even want to be. You'll be the first to die in battle. David's army was never self sufficient. They depended on one another. They fought together. Self sufficiency was never in God's dictionary. ok, shall not steer in that direction yet..

And so........ each time you sneeze, think about where the glue landed. And think about the times when Jesus took all that for us. It never came cheap nor was it done in vain.

Gam Bette!
