ocean's twelve
=D
i'm quite convinced in my mind that its a good show, cuz i felt it was a good show. haha..well no matter wat pple have said and newspaper have written (actually the former said bad, the latter good), i thought it was good! certainly worth the 6.50 i paid (or more?)
cast is quite all star and the so-slick moves heh. humour was alright without going too overboard and the storyline's quite to my liking :)
anyways things i learnt today, a) 4 player xbox games are uber fun =D. b) there's a nice gear shop at beach road. c) there's a button on the cash thingie at cartel for "cut into 4" (ie if you wanna share food or sth). d) gv has some problems printing tickets in order - seat 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 3, 10, 11.
anyway, next on the to-catch list is "meet the fockers" haha..when you guys wanna catch it?

i'm radioactive!
today's a really funky day. see i booked in at 0715 and then after securing my off pass by 0800 (which i feel is somewhat miraculous), i left camp at 0815 after having breakfast and off to TTSH or rather NNI for my bone scan.
ookiee, first i thought it would just be i sit or lie down on sth and then go thru some machine and since they said it would take 4-5 hours i thot i would fall asleep or my legs would just die haha. well i was wrong and right in some sense.. wrong that i would stay there for 4-5 hours, right that i would have to go under some machine.
so, i had this jab and some questions to answer, following which the nurse/doc told me i'm free to go but have to be back by 1515hrs. also she warned me to keep away from pregnant women, to which i questioned and then the jaw-dropper was that because i'm now radio-active! -___-
anyways went out with jq and then LAN-ed a bit and then headed back and then in 20 mins i was done! haha..then called back and then the msgt told me since its raining so heavily and its at ttsh then i didn't have to go back haha.. so quite well done. bad part is, my temp pass is stuck in camp so i'll figure something soon.
gonna catch ocean's twelve tmrw! and kinda looking forward to it since i heard that it was coming out :) hope it lives up to my expectations (been hearing not too good reviews but optimistic =P)

nite cycling!
well first off, like to apologise. ever since i ooc-ed i've been having too much time and thus going out heh. so that equates to little time to blog.
well, during those times there were 2 movies which i caught. one bombed and the other rocked. so between "blade trinity" and "national treasure", which do you think bombed and which one rocked? tag me abt it.
so apart from that and late night suppers and mass (ok not that large) gatherings, there was "work" to be done in the day. not that i really did much, besides sweeping the room, the lecture rooms and dumping the rubbish, issusing the keys and getting them back..i've not really been doing much. mostly, its a good book then rest when i get tired and *poof!* off to lalaland i go.
anyways, tonight had night cycling to orchard. think its an almost yearly affair. group got a bit bigger than last year's, still had some of the pple who went last year, for a total of 15 (actually 11, 4 met us at the destination but they count too!) This year's bikers were james, angeline, lisa, dawn, johan, kang, tim, danny, walther and debbie (chee meng, zuhui, adrain, carolyn met us there). heh. so quite a good group. was supposedly one large happy group but turned out to become 2 groups of contrasting values. one was mean and fast (the guys really - kang, johan, danny, tim, me) and the other gentler and slow (the rest of the 11) heh. there was a period we were so far ahead that we could turn ard and wait for them :P surprising this year was a bit early (we started at 9) and thus human traffic at town was slightly more crowded and also we were done ard 3 so thats kinda short =D anyways, i had westin's bike (which although has it shortcomings, i still think its uber cool) that helped alot :) a good bike really makes any journey short heh.
anyways some random thoughts. since this blog was started a year ago, i realised that at this time last year, i was probably at my emotional lowest (which was later even depressed by my dad's illness in jan) and yet this year, i can't seem to feel low, even i had wanted to. pardon my illogical musings, its nearly 5 in the morning heh. and there's prob still a lot of sugar in my blood stream heh. but yeah..how things work out hmmm?

~ back
been a week of a spiritual high :) just came back from yf camp which in many ways have been such a learning experience, a blessing and a trial.
the testimony from rev heng, the msg on 'a Christian's speech', and most importantly, the morning msgs by elder seah where the ones that really inspired me the most. how God can use a normal, simple man to show the power of God just amazes me. i feel he really speaks from the heart as God's mouth piece and yes, thank the Lord, i'm really inspired. (:
object lessons were interesting and different. it may have been lessons learnt long before but a new idea when it was done. lastly, food and accomadation and logistics were well settled. a big thank you goes out to the camp comm :) you've done a wonderful job.
to those who have gone, please remember the precious lessons that have been given, the fun times we had in camp, and all the activities. most importantly, remember our Creator :)
brought back 2 acronyms to sum up camp.
first one is what we should do in our fellowship,
second one is for what lies ahead for the Christian,
its been wonderful being a Christian, no matter what can happen, you know its in hands that are so great that if He could create the world from dust, He'll know every single thing you will do in any situation that comes your way. i've been a Christian for many years and i've never looked back and said i want to give it up for anything. true that i've been thru a lot in the past few years. i've had my fair share of girl problems, my dad has kidney failure and nose cancer and i've got friends who have let me down time and again, or friends whom i have misplaced my trust. but at this point in the road, i can say its all been good. and i hope one day, you will come to put your trust and faith to this man named Jesus, and i can assure you, He is one friend who will never misplace your trust and faith in, unlike your mortal friends (even me!) because in Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever." if you do need to talk abt this, i'll always be on my fone ready to help :)
anyways, i got my posting which goes like this,
well, i wasn't very happy when i got it. i think i'm better now. afterall (which i forgot when i saw it and was so upset, and shows how mortal i am), was that God has it all planned out and He'll show me and lead me in His perfect time.
anyways i'm just got back earlier on from a wedding dinner of someone i respected in my area of service and haha..the food and ambience was good. but the dessert fantastic! it was a dessert buffet and had all manners of desserts from fruits to traditional desserts to ice cream (which i tell you can 'fight' with haagen daz) to cakes (the choc mousse cake was heavenly), puddings and such. but the one that took the cake (pardon the pun) was the fountain of chocolate. warm, thick, flowing chocolate! fondue style. it was absolutely the sight to look at and then to taste it, heavenly!
haha shan't tempt you any further. =Þ anyways talking abt God's timing. well i guess, i'm just a Christian first, a soldier second. so regarding relationships, well i'm not good at that but well in God's timing. cuz well i did tell this someone (you who know, know. you who don't, please don't probe. if i tell you i'll tell you in time) whom i've liked for some time how i felt and well at the way my ns life has taken another turn, its good the way it currently is. whether the feeling is mutual or not, is something i leave not in my hands but in the hands of my God.
lastly, i hope this spiritual high would last me till church camp in june (which i really hope to go for and hope to get the off for) and then also if you wanna see the journal abt "The Life of a PES C Soldier/Slacker" you may get it at all popular bookstores ard the island =Þ haha..not! but you can ask me for it if you wish.
