Its the Thought that Count lah

I know this is like overdue by 3 days already but still just want to wish the above gaydophile a HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY!
Video will be up once i get my camera from dar-dar.
The only guy that feeds on my sarcasm and turns right back around like a hydrochloric acid immune mirror reflector.
We diss each other so much but I know he's one that'll be back to back with me if we're ever trapped in a circle of mad-raving shinobies.

Half, Half but Full

Let me tell you about my colleague called Theresa.
She's very bright, very much blonde and definitely boisterous.
Working at CA with her makes time fly really fast, haha!
Ten thousand hilarious snapshot moments today, the most painful one being the time when she knocked her head onto the counter when she was trying to look at my jacket.
Ver: "The counter a bit shaky ah, is it all your doing?"
HAHAHA.
Ok, but there wasn't any sales while both of us were covering the earlier part of the day.

Today's worship was good, though i needed to be more sensitive.
Mm and dinner/supper was good!
Loved the sauce, though it seemed really oily.
Frogs are nice but i hate it cos its super bony.
Aw well, and there's the case of the missing $8.
Noisy car on the way home with sudden topic changes from adultery to murders.

All's well ends well in a day of work.
This life seems more addictive than studying =X

Free Cone Day!

So did you get your free cone today?
In contrast to last year, where Ariel, Lev, Germz and Chingz queued about an hour just for 1 cone of ice cream, this year, i just cut the queue where MJ was queuing and skipped about half an hour or more worth of queue time. :D
And furthermore, B&J's sent 4 cups of free ice cream to SKIN couture later in the evening ^^
Pays to work at GWC huh.

I want to go to Paris!

Building Fund

Close to the end of the first month of Arise & Build, i have these thoughts to say:

Building fund period is truly a time of testing, in many areas and especially in faith.
Even when you can't see the building yet, you gotta keep praying, visualizing and believing that it will one day come to pass.
This building fund is most touching and in more ways than one, personal to me.
That's because its my first.
Since 2006, Pastor has already been talking about the vision for our building in the marketplace.
For four years, we continued to pray, believe and give; Pray, believe and give; Pray, believe and give.
And now that we've finally been shown the building, again it reminds me how God will come true for us.

All throughout our lives, we actually have our own little 'building funds'.
Just that it differs from person to person.
We could be saving up for that one thing that we desire so much.
Sometimes we feel like giving up halfway but we must remember that the Lord will provide the provision with the vision.
Even in our personal struggles, when we ultimately obtain the object of our desire, we will have progressed in our faith, believing that God will provide no matter what.
Just that when we have gotten what we want, let's not forget who was the one that made it possible to help us obtain the prize.
And also remember that He has blessed you so that you can be a blessing to others. ;)

Not a Want, but a Need.

Adding to my new list of wants:
- Belt with square face/Full round buckle(Levi's would be nice)
- Shirts with details
- Bowties
- Shoe laces of varying colours(except red and white cos i already have both)
- Laptop cooler
- Hair vouchers for Monsoon/other salons

If you run out of gift ideas, food vouchers or a treat would be nice^^

*Hint Hint*

Current material wants for this year:

-Fable 3
-iPhone!!!!!!!!
-Ed Hardy iPhone cover!
-True Religion/Laguna Beach jeanzzzz
-DSLR

Maybe my middle 3 are influence by my workplace now haha.
Work, work.

Oh well, i've got a job in 6 more hours, think i'll sleep on the hidden sofa tmr haha!
Siamz.
Oh i've just learnt the meaning of 'Robert'.

1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

I'm Just Twitting

Breakdown of yesterday and today:

13/3/10
Went down with Jaslyn to get Jacq's lappie and spent time getting to know her better too.
Haha, great time of fellowship and witnessing of somebody's auntie-ness.

Met up with Ay before service(actually we talked up till the start of the worship) and i realised a few important things.

Talking with Esther today too made me realise how stagnant i've been.
Going to become a mosquito well if i don't move on soon.
How to move on when I don't know what's the requirements to be at the next level?
Think in the shiny shoez of your leaders, what would Ay do if he faced this?

Magaret Court shared a really powerful testimony that motivated me not to lose hold of my visions and dreams.
Driving my grandma to dialect church every sunday in a car that doesn't look my parent's one, one vision that i really got to lay hold of.

2010 is a going to be a year of breakthrough and a year of visions.
Its going to be a year of action! Faith is action now.
I think prayer is always good, but i guess dwelling too much in prayer all the time makes you a little stagnant in action sometimes.
You may disagree but in my opinion, sometimes we just rely on prayer too much not knowing that our action can actually bring about results.

14/3/10
Main thought of the day: L4D2
Disappointing though, cos in the end, only 5 people turned up.
And its one of those numbers that's just really horrid to play with.
2v3 matches are never that fulfilling nor possible to fruition.
Moreover, our poor MJ got flamed by some insensitive guys at the LAN centre.
Of course they have a just cause to do so, but perhaps they didn't know 'MJ'(Her in game name) was actually a petite lady in disguise.
And i'm still amazed Esther, Je Lin and me managed to get to the safe house at the mall.

Dinner with the additions of Jacq and Yun Ru later at Cartel.
Lost twice in the tennis arcade game to Esther 'Court'. RAH.
Got a second bible quiz at the staircase of Dhoby's mrt.
I didn't knew Numbers came after Genesis! HAHA
Alright, i've twitted enough. Gotta go can catch some sleep before work later.
Alpha for youth meeting too, wish me luck. ;)

IT's a Show

I swear my feet are made of titanium or something even harder.



Today while Woon and I were trying to save ourselves from an entire contingent of flyer distributors, this guy in a electronic wheelchair ran over my leg with his larger wheel!
I'm sure he was saying sorry for obstructing my path but i was pretty damn sure he didn't see that his wheel was running over something more than just plastic litter on the ground.



Aside from that, IT is just freebie packed. Prices are about the same, just that what and which freebies you prefer that's all.
Of course, you get to see some really weird stuff like a Hello Kitty WiFi phone?
Oh and did i mention already that games are really really really cheap?
Halo 2 for PC is going at $30 per disk.
Bioshock 2 is retailing low at $54.90 for both PC and the 360.
If i'm not wrong, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is also retailing at that same price for both PS3 and the Xbox 360.
Other gems worth grabbing during these four days of mayhem include: C&C3, Lost Odyssy, Grand Theft Auto titles, Halo titles and also Assasin's Creed II.

Games aside, netbooks make up a large percentage of this year's fair i would say. Almost every other PC brand has 3 or more models on display.
Which reminds me, i need to get my Macbook Pro very very soon.

Surprise Surprise

Awesome! Now i can spend afternoons with my xbox 360 with:



And to think i wanted to get a new game for my xbox once CNY was over.
My brother just popped in today while i was TD'ing with Ariel and said, "Nah. My friend lend me for 3 months."
Is that sweet or what?
Swiftest response ever HS, God really grants the desires of our hearts even as we seek Him first. Heheheh.

Wiser, mature, family, role model.
Yay.
Well when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Schools Kill Creativity

This was probably from some time wayyy back, 2006 in fact. Should probably watch though:

MPM FTW!

LOVE morning prayer meeting week, super fruitful, super recharged, super spiritual.
And everyday its been long long breakfast breaks.
Sitting around just to talk feels really good!
Beats rushing around places anytime.

Speaking of which, Calvin has been our faithful driver for the past week.
When asked, 'How many times do you take public transport?'
On the PIE, with HF at the back, Cal raises a circle with his right hand.
Ok you win.

OH, and it sounds crazy but now i have a choice in choosing which poly i want to go to.
Apparently, TP has offered me a place in their CMM(Communication and Media Management) course through DAE. Mass comm in TP or NP?
Hmmmm, just spoilt for choice.

Trimalogy

Woo, mahjong session with cous and uncle was refreshing.
Managed to sneak a few wins while they were busy watching Man U. play against Everton.
Disappointing 3-1 to Everton though.

Got a new haircut today, and as always, there's that hour or so when you've got to get used to your new look.
Well i'm fine with it now, J's still trying to adjust to the star haha!
Honestly, it wasn't worth the extra 5 bucks!
Oh well, at least it'll be gone in 2 weeks.

TGI Friday

Its friday, its friday, its friday, its friday!
Stay away from fried rice.

ANYWAY, steamboat tonight woo!
Ok maybe not so excited because of the double steamboat last tues almost made me puke.

Oh and to DS fans/owners,
RAGNAROK DS(English Version) IS OUT ON ROMULATION!


Loving it so far, but play it at the cost of making your girlfriend very very annoyed(that is if you have one).
The graphics are really good, look almost the same when you play RO(Ragnarok Online) on computer.
Must-play for all RO fans!

Not Just Another Love Story

Let me begin this review by firstly stating that I'm not a romance buff, and I would most certainly not pay $10 on a public holiday to watch one. How many guys are with me on this?
Anyway, the turning(or convincing, if you like) point was that this movie featured a star-studded cast. Where would you get eye-candies like Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway in the same movie? (There is a second point but its not going to be posted here(: heh. )
So aside from the multi-talented cast(hint hint: Taylor Swift), i wouldn't probably be bothered to spend Valentine's Day watching Valentine's Day.
That was before i stepped into the Cathay at 12.30am last early morning.

This movie, if nothing else, has two very interesting things to offer:
1) Love
2) Valentine's Day

Why would i say that?
Both these two issues are repeatedly brought up again and again throughout the movie, and each time a scene pops into the big screen, its wrapped in a different packaging. The movie not only offers insight about both Love and Valentine's Day, but also showcases how they both can be interpreted differently. One key point to note is that the cast(as well as characters) are multi-generational. Veterans like Hector Elizondo and George Lopez are thrown into the bewildered mix of the cooking pot alongside Emma Roberts, debut star Taylor Swift, and even with the super sweet, super cute and super lovable Bryce Robinson(who plays Edison, the little boy).

Across ages, the meaning of Love and Valentine's Day wavers throughout the movie, but unanimously agrees upon several truths towards the end. Garry Marshall(director) is absolutely brilliant. His artful weaving together of the different interconnected stories leaves no questions unanswered, leaving you free to scrutinise every single line of the credits to look for your favourite star.

Fans of Taylor Swift will be utterly disappointed I'm afraid. Initially I thought how much of a mockery it was for her to play her character, but perhaps I'd missed out on the need for a contrast between characters, or at least one that would be less focused.(oops spoiler!)
To name the performance that stands out the most, indefinitely would be Ashton Kutcher's. I was very much surprised myself to realise that he was actually the main character in the film.

On the end note, I had enjoyed Valentine's day throughly, yes there is witty humour, plenty if you look and listen carefully enough. I can assure its not going to be your usual chick flick, in fact, I personally feel that its one suitable for all ages. It doesn't matter whether you are young(alright, maybe not less than 9 or 10? Cos it'd probably be a bore for them), old single, dating, in a relationship, married or divorced, Valentine's Day will seek to redefine, refresh and reinforce the perspectives you have about Valentine's Day, and more importantly, Love.

Elle-for-dee-tew

Crazy crazy time after service yesterday at Clarke Quay.
Had to run around Dhoby to look for LAN with space, and ended playing at Clarke Quay.
Service was good!
Didn't really get to engage in P&W and hear the entire message.
Leo & Cheryl eating oranges during services was the ultimate.
Super tired during service, standing in the tunnels, can't sit ah.

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year People!
And of course, not forgetting, Happy Valentine's to everybody out there!
Don't forget its not just a season of love, but also of friendship too!
See if you agree with me, but i feel this year, there wasn't much of a festive aura. The vibes weren't as vibrant as previous years, is it because its the year of the tiger?
*Cheers, Tiger Beer!*
Anyway, back to my point, Valentine's doesn't seem here nor there either.
There's a clash between the two moods this year or a serious languidness that's hanging in the air.

Thoughts aside, all the best in your red packet harvest!
